[POV: Aarav]
"This is the third time you've messed up my documents, Bunny!"
Bunny (grinning):
"Oh really? Maybe if you didn't leave your files looking like confetti, I wouldn't confuse them!"
Aarav:
"I organize them perfectly. You just don't know how to read labels."
Bunny (mocking):
"Excuse me, Mr. Alphabetical Order."
Aarav:
"You're testing me."
Bunny (smirking):
"Only slightly. You still haven't snapped. Impressive."
He sighed deeply, giving her a long side-eye.
Aarav (muttering):
"Someday, you'll test the wrong nerve."
Bunny (sing-song):
"Someday, you'll thank me for keeping your boring CEO life fun."

Evening – Bunny's POV
I was literally glowing.
Bunny (thinking):
For the first time, someone other than Aarav invited me out!
My colleagues had asked me if I'd like to join the team for a casual dinner and drinks.
Casual.
Still, I was happy.
Bunny (excitedly on phone):
"Hey Aarav, just wanted to let you know—I'll be out tonight with a few people from work. I'll skip dinner at home."
Aarav (calmly):
"Alright. Just… when it's over, call me. I'll come pick you up."
Bunny (smiling):
"Okay."

Late Evening – Bunny's POV
Everyone was having fun. Laughing, joking… and drinking.
I had never drunk anything in my life.
But they insisted.
One shot became two. Two became… whatever came next. I lost count.
My vision blurred, and my body wasn't listening anymore.
Bunny (mumbling to her friend):
"My world… call… it's under My World. Tell him to come."
She nodded and took out her phone.

[POV: Aarav]
My phone buzzed.
always you ( name of bunny in his phone )
Caller (worried):
"Hi… um, Bunny's a little… not okay. She drank too much. She said to call someone under the name 'My World'? I guess that's you?"
My jaw clenched. I was already halfway out the door.

Scene: Party Location
Aarav arrived fast.
He saw her.
Slumped in a chair, giggling at nothing, trying to balance a bottle cap on her nose.
His expression turned to stone.
Her colleagues stood nearby, nervously whispering.
Aarav (coldly):
"None of this… happened. Got it? No photos. No rumors. Keep this quiet, and I'll ensure bonuses this month."
All heads nodded fast.
Then, without another word, he picked her up in his arms.
Bunny (half-conscious):
"I didn't drink…"
Aarav (flatly):
"Of course not."
Bunny (slurring):
"Do I look like I drank? Be honest…"
Aarav (biting his lip):
"Sure. You're glowing with innocence."
Bunny (giggling):
"I'm telling the truth. You don't believe me… I'll prove it."
Aarav (teasing):
"If you don't shut up, I'll kiss you right here."
Bunny:
"Then do it."
He looked down, lips twitching.
Aarav (softly):
"Idiot."

Scene: Home – Bunny's Room
She had fallen asleep in the car.
He carried her all the way to her bed and gently placed her down, pulling a blanket over her.
He turned to leave… but then he felt her fingers wrap around his wrist.
He turned.
Aarav (quietly):
"Bunny?"
Her eyes barely opened, half-asleep.
Bunny (murmuring):
"Just… say it already. I've waited long enough. I can't wait anymore…"
Aarav (after a pause):
"…I'll tell you tomorrow."
She let go.
Eyes shut again.

[POV: Aarav – walking away]
Tomorrow.
He whispered to himself.
I won't wait anymore either.
