Chapter 17
Both glanced at each other. They knew what the other one was thinking about, it had to be that same rainy romantic moment.
Nachiket cleared his throat. ''Are you feeling better?'' Matlab, chai ka kuch assar hua?''
''Hmm, haan... better'' Ragini said still a bit lost.
Ragini's phone started to ring but she did not hear it. Nachiket noticed, tugged her arm and pointed to her purse. ''Tumhara phone''
Absentmindedly she looked for her phone and answered the call.
''Hello?''
''Haan Ragini, kaha ho tum? Mein kabse phone karne ki koshish kar raha hoon''
Dr. Aman's voice brought Ragini back on earth, back to reality. Oh can she forget, in her reality there was no Nachiket, he existed only in her dreams. In a life that she had lived many years ago, which she had left behind a long time ago. It looked miles and miles away...
''Boliye Sir, kya baat hai'' she replied.
By hearing her say ''Sir'', Nachiket knew that it was Dr. Aman...her husband.
Nachiket never really was the jealous kind of types. He had the most beautiful wife and he liked it when people gave compliments to her. It made him proud. And Ragini was never the kind of woman and wife to just flirt around with men. She had male friends and colleagues but it never made him insecure. Toh phir aaj kyun? Why does something happen to him when he sees Ragini and Dr. Aman together?
''Where are you Ragini? Devika ne baataiyi thi ke tum hum se pehle ghar chali gayi thi, lekin jab mein tumhare ghar mein gaya tha, tum waha nahin thi'' Dr. Aman sounded very worried.
Ragini noticed the worry in his voice. ''Sir, aap fikr mat kijiye. Mein bilkul theek hoon. Haan, woh Devika said to take the scooty''
''Lekin why is it taking so long? Matlab, koi problem hai. Mein aao wahan?''
''Nahin, koi zaroorat nahin. Yahan bahot traffic hai, can't move at all aur ... Mein akeli nahin hoon...'' She looked at Nachiket. ''Mein Dr. Neil ke saath hoon...I am totally fine'' And she kept staring at him. Even though they have been separated for so many years, but Ragini knew she will always be fine around Nachiket.
Nachiket looked back at her. His heart made a little jump of joy when she 'I'm totally fine'. He just knew the hidden meaning of it.
''Accha thank God, tum akeli nahin ho. Mein aunty se keh doongi ke tum theek hoon. Woh bahot pareshaan ho gaye the''
''I am sorry, mein maa ko phone karna bhool gayi thi. Thanks Aman Sir'' Ragini felt a bit guilty. Here she is sitting having tea with Nachiket and there Aman Sir and her mother are worried like hell.
Suddenly she stood up. ''Chalo Nachiket, humein chalna chahiye''
Nachiket looked a bit confused but stood next to her and looked at her. ''Kya hua, kuch problem hai? Dr. Aman ka phone tha right? Is he missing you?''
''What are you saying Nachiket?!'' Ragini was a bit taken aback.
''Nahin, kyunki woh kya hai na, tumhare bina toh Dr. Aman kuch nahin kar sakte hain. Hamesha tumhari permission or opinion chahte hai woh. Toh zaher si baat hai ke woh tumhe miss kar raha hoga.'' Nachiket said sarcastically.
''Aisa kuch nahin hai'' Ragini said irritated. Woh bas paresha ho raha tha, joh bilkul jayaaz hain. Ghalati meri hai, I forgot to call home''
''My God, what a day...pehle toh tumhare saath paani puri khaane ka mauka mila mujhe, woh bhi itne saalo baad. Phir ek gharma gharam chai aur uppar se tum khud confess kar rahi hoon ke Ragini Patel bhi ghalatiyan kar sakti hain'' Nachiket teased her.
''Agar tumhara comedy hour khatam ho gaya, toh chalein?'' Ragini was still irritated.
''Of course, after you Ragini ji'' Nachiket gestured with his hand and smiled.
''Waise Ragini, chai acchi thi?'' Nachiket asked her.
''Haan, kyun? Sirf ek chai hi toh thi'' And she started to walk. Nachiket followed. He purposely asked that question because he knew that she didn't liked the chai that much. He just knew her too well.
It never was and it will never be just a chai with him. Chai kitna bhi kharab kyun na ho, with him around it would always taste good because he was the only one who could add the right flavor to it...
