Karan Malhotra

Hey… You probably don’t remember me. But I could never forget you. – Karan.

Kaveri Sharma

Wait… Karan? Karan Malhotra from St. Mary’s?! 😳

Karan Malhotra

That’s the one. KG to 3rd grade… then again in 9th. You used to steal my lunchbox, Sharma. 😏

Kaveri Sharma

Oh my God… You’re that Karan?! You’ve changed so much!

Karan Malhotra

Time does that. And you? You look like poetry now.

Kaveri Sharma

Flirty already? 😅 Where have you been all these years?

Karan Malhotra

Building an empire. Making money. Thinking of the girl who once broke my heart 😌

Kaveri Sharma

Karan… don’t say that. I was just a teenager back then.

Karan Malhotra

I know. Teenagers forget. But I don’t.

Kaveri Sharma

This feels surreal. I’m smiling for no reason.

Karan Malhotra

Then I must be doing something right 😉 Can I take you out for coffee?

Kaveri Sharma

Hmm… Let me think. Okay. Just coffee.

Karan Malhotra

Just coffee. For now. 😈

Karan’s Private Voice Note – 10:27 PM

Step one. Hook her with nostalgia. Step two. Let her feel special again. Step three... Make her fall. Then break her. Piece by piece.
