## Maira starts thinking about Kabir
Maira begins thinking about Kabir more often. She notices that she feels nervous and gets butterflies whenever he comes to her mind, making her question why his presence is affecting her so much.
Kabir sends Maira a message saying that he wants to tell her something. Maira becomes eager to know what he wants to say, but her phone battery dies before she can read the complete message.
Maira takes Krish’s charger so that she can check the message. Krish asks her to use her own charger, but Maira insists that she needs to receive an important message.
Krish jokes that other people’s messages seem more important to her than his. Maira tries to make sure that he is not angry with her, and Krish eventually asks her to return the charger later.
When Maira finally checks Kabir’s message, she discovers that he had sent it by mistake. She is disappointed and starts wondering why a simple mistaken message has affected her so much.
