Salem sat in the restaurant. It was the same place that Karan brought Priyanka to, the other night. He advised him to bring Zara here. She would like it.
There were not many customers in the afternoon. The place was mostly busy in the evening. However, Salem was glad. It has the quiet atmosphere that he seeks.
He looked at his Samsung wristwatch. A few minutes to twelve and Zara was not here. Did she change her mind? His heart started beating faster. He wished Karan was here to calm him down. He would crack jokes to speed up time.
Salem relaxed back to the chair and watched the couple sitting two tables from him. The man went on his knees and the lady started screaming. She was so excited that she extended her hand for him to fix the ring immediately. When he did, the people in the restaurant clapped and wished them good luck.
