12 P.M. BANGLORE HOSPITAL

Pallavi kept glancing at her watch after every 5 minutes, she was supposed to be meeting him half an hour ago and he was late. Raghav parked his car in the parking zone area cursing the traffic for making him late , scared for the marathi curses he'll be getting today. It wasn't his fault that last night, all that happiness of watching her in his room having a decent conversation with him, making him a part of something in her life had stolen his sleep, hence making him wake up rather late than the designated time. The cherry on top of the falling cake was the investors that had taken upon themselves to grab more minutes from his sinking sand clock.

Pallavi looked at her watch for the millionth time when she finally got a glimpse of the turtle , folding her hands infront of her chest, she welcomed him with fury but before she could lash out at him for being late, Raghav held his ears for an apology.

"Sorry" he mumbled.

"Poora din nahin hai hamare paas pata hai na." she taunted.

"Jaanta hai main Saree Ka dukaan lekin yeh tumhara Banglore main traffic bahut hai." he complained like a kid.

"Tumhaare Hyderabad se toh better hi hai." she handed him his NGO id card.

"Aye Saree Ka Dukaan mera shehar ka baare main no buraai. Waise tumko lagta hai yeh plan work karega?" Raghav asked eyeing the card.

"Han han tum bass jaisa kal samjhaya hai waisa karna baaki main sambhal lungi." Pallavi assured him as the two walked inside the building together.

"Main reception par puchta hai." Raghav nodded at her only for Pallavi to hold his hand as she stopped him pulling him towards the elevator.

"Koi zaroorat nahin hai. 5th floor hai. Uske papa ne almost poora floor block krwaya hua hai wing ka." Pallavi informed as they both stepped inside the elevator.

"Kaafi private." Raghav mocked.

"Ek lauti beti hai aur kya expect krte ho tum. Her dad is a politician. Aur tum hi toh kehte ho paisa aur power ho toh duniya jeb main hoti hai." Pallavi snorted never liking the way people used money and power for their own selfish reasons.

"Bada yaad rakhta hai tum mera baaton ko." Raghav teased.

"Ho gaya" Pallavi turned to him replying in a sarcastic tone, " Ab main plan par focus krein."

"After you my lady." Raghav held onto the lift entrance for her as they both exited onto the floor.

Pallavi signaled Raghav to the wing where they could count about 6 guards guarding the corridor premises. Both of them walking to mark their territory, when they were stopped by one of them.

"Ma'am aap kidhar jaa rhe hai? Idhar jana allowed nahin hai." The guard informed them.

"Dekhiye main patient ko jaanti hoon , hum usse milne aaye hain." Pallavi replied when she saw a man and a women walking towards them.

"But ma'am-" the gaurd tried to deny only to be interrupated by the man.

"Kya hua?" the man asked.

"Sir yeh log Aastha ma'am se milna chahte hai. Keh rahe hai unhe jaante hain." the guard informed the man.

"Tum Aastha ko jaante ho? Lekin maine toh pehle tumhe kabhi nahin dekha." The women asked Pallavi.

"Aap Mr and Mrs Tripathi hai na? Aastha ke parents. Main Pallavi hoon." Pallavi introduced herself, "aur yeh hai Raghav-" she stopped when she felt Raghav's hand slide down her waist.

"Pallavi ka husband. Mera Pallavi aur aapka beti kaafi achche friends hai." he replied as Pallavi eyed him in shock, this wasn't the plan.

"Achcha? Kahan mile tum dono?" Mr Tripathi asked.
