Chai

 She hurriedly took all her papers 

Pari: shucks no cabs! I think I should drive ..even with this back pain I  that's a better bet.

Anand: No way! It's going to make your back worse. Chill you will get one.

Pari: Uber pool is available..lets get this..

Anand: Just wait no..

Pari: I will get late for the appointment.. I am booking this.

Giving her husband a quick hug and all the instructions for the kids breakfast, she leaves.

Cab arrives...there is a lady already sitting in the front, Pari sits behind. Busy letting Anand know about her cab status , she doesn't realise when another passenger enters the cab. A few minutes by, and the cab stops for the fourth passenger . Another male passenger..Pari gets off let's the gentleman sit next to the other one and gets in .The passport office she is about an hour away... that's quite a long drive.

Pari looks out at the peaking traffic. It's office time and hence everyone is in a rush. The school kids are rushing too! The cab turns and now the sun shines harshly on the face..Phew I can't look out anymore! Pari frets. Looks down into her phone is just way too happy to see messages on her besties group and starts chatting. 

The bright sun has given me such a headache she wrote! I want Chai😒Right now!

As she typed this, she realised the guy sitting next to her was sheepishly smiling, having read that message. Like really! Such a creep she thought. Untill now she hadn't noticed him but as she does, he is a very attractive guy.Tall, well built and .. well whatever! She thought aloud. 

An hour passed by and she was 10 mins late ..Pari left the car saying thank you to the cab driver.

5 mins into the drive, Keyur looked down at his feet  and saw a file. He picked it and opened to see some very important documents of the lady who was sitting next to him, in the cab just 5 mins back. 

Keyur on a call and looking at the file.. Sathish, I will be late to office today . Please handle the meetings.

Keyur then stops the cab and gets off, rushing towards the passport office.

Pari showed her appointment sms and stepped into the Passport office . She stood in a queue to make sure all the required documents are attached. She was two turns away as she looked into her bag for the file and couldn't find it. She didn't understand what happened and suddenly remembered that her file could have fallen in the cab. In tears,  she didn't know what to do!!!

She pulled out her phone to call Anand but a hand on her shoulder startled her.

Lady: mam is this yours? A gentleman came and gave it to me at the gate.

Pari tried to look out but it was her turn to get the papers checked..

2 hours later with her passport cleared, she stepped out relieved but head still throbbing.. she needed to book her cab to get back home..

She reached out for her phone when some one said

Excuse me..hope all went well .. I got your file.

Pari looked up and saw the guy from the cab. Smiling she said oh my God! Thank you so much! You have no idea what a big thing that was.

I do! He said.. still craving for some tea? Me too..

What do you think Pari did next?..
