Aira had absolutely no business wearing a saree on a random Tuesday.

She wasn't attending a wedding. There wasn't a festival. She was simply bored.

So she spent an hour fighting with six yards of fabric, another thirty minutes fixing her hair, and an embarrassing amount of time taking pictures in front of the mirror.

Finally satisfied, she sent the best photo to the person she thought was her best friend.

"Your girl is soooo hottt what do i do" The message delivered instantly.

"Already forgotten."

Aira sighed in relief.

Then another message arrived.

"But for future reference..."

She froze.

"The saree suits you."

For the first time all day, Armaan missed an email deadline.

And for the first time ever, Aira wished the office floor would open and swallow her whole
