THE BLOOMING OF LOVE BETWEEN FORCED MARRIAGE

25. Lunch at Lab, Party

            Rutuja had finished cooking breakfast and getting ready for going to the lab. She was about to go that, Rishika and Harshada went to the living room and saw her as she was going to open the door. Rishika said, "Rutuja, Are you going to the lab?" She said, "Yes Rishika I am going there see you soon, the breakfast is ready heat it up before eating bye". Harshada and Rishika said bye to Rutuja as she left".

Rishika and Harshada got ready after she left and were heating the breakfast when the boys came to the dining area. Rishika and Harshada served the plates before handing them to the boys. Then sat down for eating breakfast. Rishikesh asked, "Where is Rutuja?" Harshada told him that, she went to the lab at 5:30 am. Rishikesh said, "That early?" Rishika said, "Yes".

After they finished breakfast together Aniket, Rishika and Harshada left for their duties. The only people left at the house were Rishikesh and Ashish. They were sitting in the living room talking with each other about work. Rishikesh took this chance as they were alone to ask Ashish about Rutuja. He asked Ashish, "Do you know about what's going on with Rutuja?"

Ashish said, "Rishikesh I know about everything but, I am sorry I can't tell you Harshada had made me promise not to tell you about it". Every one of us is bound with the promise even if we want to tell you so badly about it we can't. For now, I will just tell you that, the attack rate has increased and Rutuja is just too stressed to tell you anything about it. Please take care of her, she needs you by her side. He said, "Don't worry I will be there for her". Ashish badly wanted to tell him everything but, kept quiet.

Rutuja had finished the first round of experimental analysis and got to cook lunch. Soon enough she finished preparing the lunch and set the table before she went for the final round of experiment analysis. She was working when Rishika, Harshada, and Aniket arrived at the lab. Rishika and Aniket were doing routine check-ups of everyone in the lab. Harshada was helping them to make the final reports.

Rishika called Rutuja for her check-up and she got there. They examine her and asked her to go. Rutuja was back on working with experiments. She was noting down the final results of the experiments when Ashish and Rishikesh came to the lab. Other teammates had already finished their part of the work while Aniket and Rishika were almost finished with their reports on the team's health.

Ashish guided Rishikesh inside the lab to the workroom. Where all of them were working except Rutuja as she was in the room for experiments. They all had finished their work and took Rishikesh and Ashish to the lab's dining room. Rutuja still wasn't out of the room so Rishika called her and asked her to come to the dining area as they were waiting for her. She said, "I will be there in 5 minutes".

She noted the result and took a look at the outcome they wanted. The experiment was satisfying the terms needed in it and was a success. She took a quick shower and got dressed before going to the dining area. She took a seat and they started with their lunch. Lunch was great as they haven't done a group lunch at the lab for two months now. All of them were enjoying it.

After finishing everything they head back to the workroom. As usual, she went and sat at her desk finishing her final report of the experiment. She said, "Team I have good news". Mansi asked, "What is it Rutuja, tell us?" She said, "We have succeeded in the final analysis of the experiment of that project today".

The team was totally surprised and said, "OH MY GOD! It is finally done". We weren't able to find the final defect in it and were on hold because of it. Mansi said, "You did it Rutuja". Rutuja said, "Hey guys stop giving me all the credit we are a team and did it together". "Congratulations team on completing the important project". They all smile at Rutuja knowingly. And handed her their analyzed reports.
