Part 3
The next morning he got up and went to the office.
"Sir, today we were about to have a meeting regarding our material suppliers"- said his PA.
Yeah I remember, we are new in the market and our product should have the best quality.. Immediately arrange the suppliers meeting. I want to talk to them.. he said.
"And there is a party arranged by "SG industries" sir, we have to attend it. It's one of the top most companies as of now."
"SG industries" - he was aware of the company, Okay when's the party? He asked.
Today at 8PM sir.
Okay I'll be there- he said and went off to the meeting.
The clock striked 8 PM. Mostly everyone has arrived and the party has started. She was receiving all the guests.
He too entered the hall. He started searching for somebody. He was stunned to see her there.
Yes, he knows that SG group of company is her father's but Ragini never attends such official parties. He looked confused.
Meanwhile Ragini noticed him, she has to receive him but she was not ready. Somehow she managed to gather the courage and went to receive him.
Hi Mr.Maheswari, welcome- she said.
He was still standing there confused. He didn't respond.
Mr.Maheswari - this time a little louder.
Laksh came back to his senses and reciprocated. Hi Ragini! - he said.
Hi! Come and join the party- she invited him.
But where's Sheka- he was about to ask, somebody called Ragini and she went off.
Laksh too joined the party. Both of them were busy talking with others. The party somehow ended.
He was in his bed recalling the moments in the party. Flashes of Ragini came in his mind.
"Mr.Maheswari" "Mr.Maheswari" - her words echoed in his mind.
Just then he realized that she called him Mr.Maheswari not Laksh. Her words affected his mind.
He was unable to get why she's calling him like that.
It was 10 AM her mobile rang. She picked up the phone.
Hello! I'm Lak - before he could complete
Yeah! I got you - she responded.
He become silent for a second and somehow managed to reply.
I want to meet you, It's official- he said.
Okay! 5PM at Sunshine caf- she replied casually.
Okay will be there- he cut the call.
He went speechless, it's been 6 years she still remember my voice.
It was 4.45PM and he was waiting for her in the caf. He didn't know why he was there so early.
At the moment she entered the caf. She saw him sitting on the same corner where they used to sit. Their laugh, their cute arguments over small, small things everything just passed over her mind. She started moving towards him.
He noticed her and said, Hi Ragini!
Hello, Mr.Maheswari - she too responded.
He was not able to take the "Mr.Maheswari tag". It's Laksh! You can call me Laksh- he said.
I tried to contact Sheka- but the waiter interrupted his words.
Sir, your order please! - he asked.
"One cappuccino"- both ordered at the same time. The waiter took the order and went away.
There was an awkward silence between them. He decided to break the silence.
I got to know that your company materials have the best quality comparing to others in the market - he started with a appreciating point. After all he's a business man.
So I want your company to supply materials for us - he paused for her reply.
Well, Laksh I am happy with this proposal, but I have to talk with Aditya once to finalise it.
He was shocked to listen "Aditya" from her. She said she's not married so maybe her boyfriend.. his chain of thoughts were broken by Ragini.
Aditya- our company secretary, I have to talk to him once before we finalise the deal- she said.
Laksh was unable to judge what's happening with him.
Mean while Ragini finished her coffee. So I'll inform you once I consult about this with Aditya - she said.
Okay, so I'll call you back and thanks for the coffee- she signed off from there.
Laksh was sitting there like a confused soul but Ragini didn't bother to pay attention.
