"As we approached each other, the noise
and the students around us melted away
and we were utterly alone, passing, smiling,
holding each other's eyes, floors and walls gone,
two people in a universe of space and stars. "

They were in a room full of people...but the only ones in their minds: each other. They were bickering still over her saree...but he was not leaving her side for a moment.
She didn't hesitate to express how miffed she was about what she thought was a lavish gift that her husband has gotten for his ex...
He was amazed by her genuine happiness in watching a proposal...she unconsciously reaching out for his hand...she was engrossed in the moment of another couple...he couldn't takes his eyes off of her...and then he staked his claim on her hands...his firm grip catching her attention...
Each exchange they had ...with Mani, with the reporters...it was all laced with the lover's spat they were having...
And then finally at home in their own corner, their bedroom...she let him know her true feelings...she wanted to be sensual but only for him. And he accepted and acknowledged his feelings too...he was smitten ...style of clothing?... irrelevant.
A couple gradually showing signs of ownership of each other...in their own subtle little ways...
