Café Regal - I

It was the loud beeping of the message that actually woke me up. I rubbed my eyes and checked the time on the bedside table '8:24 am'. Who could be messaging me this early on a Sunday morning? I picked up the phone and opened whatsapp to see a couple of messages from Mukti, my best friend since college.
"Meet me at Café Regal sharp at 10.
P.S. wear your favourite blue top."
"Mukti I'm tired and I'm sleeping so don't irritate me." I messaged her.
"Shut up, just do as I say. And don't be late. Seeya." She replied and went offline.
"Hate you." I sent her.
Surely she was driving me mad as I had no choice but to do what she said. Needless to say I dragged myself from the bed to the bathroom. About half an hour later I had brushed my teeth, showered and changed into the blue top (no guesses there) and a pair of blue jeans. I decided to go for platform shoes, classy yet comfortable instead of my usual sneakers and put on some light makeup. All just for a coffee meetup!
I looked myself in the mirror. "Hmm..I should dress up more.often" I made a mental note to myself and left. Café Regal was a 20 minutes drive away from my house. I reached there well in time and parked my car besides Mukti's mercedes. Always a spoilt brat! I thought. I entered the café and looked around to find my best friend. I caught her waving at me from a table not far and she wasn't alone! Surprisingly, she was with someone. His face was obstructed as he had his back facing at me. I hesitated slightly but decided against it and walked upto them.
"Wassup Mu?"
"Hey! Look who I ran into." She said excitingly.
I turned to look at the person sitting across Mukti and I froze. No there must be a mistake. It can't be him.
