Petrichor to his Heart

1.2

As soon as Farhad started the car, Raghav got busy in a phone call and having nothing to do Pallavi made herself busy with the new display book of Jayati jewellers.

There were some really intricate new designs and some old ones that never went out of fashion, she loved studying the intricate ones and in her leisure time, she even created a few designs.

"Alright, see you next Sunday over dinner." he ended the call.

"Pall..." he was about to tell her something when she spoke keeping away the glittery book.

"Farhad, I was thinking to cook some Rasam and chawal next Sunday for Dinner... you and Harish should come over, actually let us call Amma and Keerti as well," Pallavi spoke about her plans fully aware about a pair of shocked eyes.

"Is there something special Vahini?" Farhad played along knowing the reason behind this plan.

"now your Anna is busy next Sunday so he might not be able to join us, but that's ok, he is such a busy man." she turned slightly giving an apologetic smile to him and then focused on Farhad.

She saw him dialling someone's number but missed the smug look on his face.

"Yeah, Hello Mr Das, I was thinking if it would be possible Next Saturday?" he asked the person on the call he just dialled.

"Aaho," she snatched his phone from him and whispered, ", main to vaise hi kah rahi thi, Tū kharōkhara vēḍā āhēsa, kāya karīta āhēsa! (you really are a crazy man, what were you doing)

"arey, I thought you were cooking Rasam and chawal next Sunday so," he answered innocently.

"don't test me, samjh la." she glared at him. "you knew very well I was not serious."

"so no Sunday plans?" he confirmed to her.

"are haan,baba." she huffed in annoyance.

"Anna, Anna..." someone was on the phone and she looked at the screen. "Harish."

He won...yet again. She was naive enough to believe he would cancel his meeting.

"Anna, why do you keep troubling her?" Farhad's concerned voice reached them and Raghav crossed him.

"Nēnu mim'malni n'yāyavādi kāvālani aḍigānā?, konni sarlu nene na boss ani naku sandeham kalugutundi." Raghav's voice was calm yet threatening. (did I ask you to become her lawyer, sometimes I don't understand who is the boss here)"

"Sorry, Anna..." Farhad apologized and looked at the upset face of Pallavi and said a silent sorry to her as well for not being able to help.

The vibration told her the call has ended and in a few seconds, Harish was calling back, asking the purpose of the call made to him.

Raghav didn't try to hide the smile on his lips and took his phone from her... "Haan Harish, all arrangements, done?"

After Harish confirmed his other questions he cut the call and grabbed his sunglasses ignorant about her demeanour throwing daggers at him.

"we will continue to decide when to plan the dinner or lunch but right now go out, people are waiting for us," he told her as soon as the car stopped.

She looked at him for a brief moment with no emotion on her face at all. Sometimes this look terrified him, this was the calm before the storms in their relationship.

"What... he asked.

"Farhad, give us a moment please.' she requested him politely ready to pounce the man in front of her.
