When Nachiket came back to the table, Ragini and Sameer were arguing over something.
"Your wife has gone mad," Sameer said to Nachiket, his face expressions mirroring his words.
"Oh shut up! You are over-reacting," Ragini defended.
"Hua kya h?" Nachiket asked.
"You remember that lady from the gym? See, she is sitting over there," Ragini pointed to the table diagonally opposite to theirs. "I talked to her while I was waiting for you guys and I know she is single. So, I was just suggesting Sameer to go and talk to her,"
"Dekha.. Kuch bhi bol rahi h ye" Sameer said, and Ragini started to protest, but Nachiket stopped her.
"Chodo Ragini. Tum peeche hi pad gai ho uske. I know a lot of single women. They are beautiful and educated. I'll introduce him to them," Nachiket said, He looked at Sameer's grinning face and the smile faded from his own. His eyes instantly went to Ragini, who was looking at him with a questioning glare. "They are just colleagues, darling. And I love you, most ardently," he said, making Sameer laugh out loud. They received a few glares from the surrounding tables. Finally, it was the waiter who saved the situation.
Nachiket and Sameer gave him their drinks' order and Ragini asked for tea. Ragini hadn't thought it would get this cold in Delhi. She asked the waiter to bring her tea first and as soon as possible.
Nachiket was offering to bring her shawl from the room when Aagham came with the shawl, "Mom, here. You must be feeling cold," he gave her the shawl. Ragini thanked him and wrapped the shawl around her, feeling much better.
"Tujhe sapna aaya tha ki teri maa ko thand lag rahi h?" Nachiket asked Aagham, making Ragini smile.
"Haan," Aagham smiled himself and then whispered something in Ragini's ear. Nachiket was observing Ragini's expressions. Whatever Aagham had just asked from his mother, she was hesitant to give in.
"Please, mom" he was on his knees, holding her hands in his.
"Ab kya chahiye isko?" Nachiket asked Ragini, who was looking at Aagham's face and trying to make a decision. And Aagham had his puppy dog face on.
Ragini bit her lip to suppress her smile as she remembered Nachiket words from earlier. She couldn't say no to Aagham. "Okay! We'll see you at the hotel gate in 10 minutes," Aagham had his arms wrapped around his mother's neck in an instant while he said 'Thank you' repeatedly. He left soon afterwards.
"Skip the drinks. We're going to India Gate," Ragini said, not meeting Nachiket's eyes.
"I must have misheard you earlier when you said you don't agree to all demands of Aagham," Nachiket said, making both Ragini and Sameer laugh.
