Osman wore a jacket before leaving home as it was cold that day and morning news predicted that it may rain.

After work Osman's friend Awad says "Mausam acha hai, chal dhaba chalte hain highway wala" and they both headed to the Dhaba.

After having a Kadak Chai & Samosa at dhaba Osman and Awad drove off.

Highway reminded him of Deeba and the Falcon. He took a turn.

"Bhai, kahan?"

(Bro, where to?)

"Paas me ek vet clinic hai, wahan" and while they drove he narrated the whole story about what happened that day.

He parked the car nearest to the entrance and entered the clinic.

They welcomed him "Hello Mr. Osman"

"Hello, so is the falcon okay? Did he fly?"

"Yes, it's absolutely fine. Here it is." They showed him a medium sized cage in which it was kept.

"Ms. Deeba did come to see it fly. But since you weren't here she asked us to release. She left our clinic just a minute ago. I decided to release after closing the clinic."

"Oh, she did? Now I'm here let's call her"

They opened the book and found the number. Before they dialed to call her Osman quickly dialed it.

'The number you have dialed is out of reach. Please try again later.'

He frowned at the call operator on his phone.

Someone came walking in the door. "You are here?" A sweet familiar voice made all of the turn.

Osman was shocked and fascinated by the coincidence.

Deeba almost forgot what she came back for after seeing Osman.

At that instant she was glad she dropped her phone behind in the clinic.

Osman nodded with a courteous smile.

Awad noticed the charisma between the two.

"Now that you two are here, can you do the honors of releasing this falcon?" Asks the vet doctor.

"Sure" they both say in a unison on which Awad made an 'Oooh' sound and raised his eyebrows twice at Osman.

Deeba blushed, almost everyone could see it except Osman.

The doctor leaned over at Awad and whispered "That's the reason I thought they were couple at first"

The falcon stopped fluttering at Osman's touch. He held the falcon once again as gentle as could be. Deeba pocketed her cellphone.

"Why don't we go over to the same place and release it over the fields?"

"Nice idea Ms..." he paused a second "..Deeba" he addressed her by her name for the first time.

Her name coming out of those pink lips in a deep voice made her feel butterflies in her stomach.

"Awad, you drive" he said and turned to Deeba "We'll follow your car".

She nodded and they sat in their respective cars.

Osman was holding the falcon while Awad drove along with Deeba.

"Dude, she totally likes you. Aren't you going to do something about it?"

"Stop kidding Awad. I won't get into any problem like you do. Look at her and look at me. Why would she like me?"

"Oh, come on! It shows that she do."

"She do what? Likes me? Maybe as a friend. I bet she would never expect me to be her man. She's just being nice because I-have-helped-her. That's it!"

"You bet? You're so wrong. Let's have a bet! If she asks you if you are single, you have to propose her. No rewards in this bet cause if you win you'll get her and that's your reward."

"What? I don't even love her. Why would she ask me that? What if we don't even talk after this? I have her number doesn't mean I can call or text her like a douchebag. I won't nag her."

"Wait, I didn't finish! If she doesn't even ask you for your number, then you're joining gym from tomorrow."

"Okay, seems fair.

Bet accepted!"
