"I think you're getting too involved," Arun remarked as he stood behind his wife as they waited for her milkshake to be ready.

"You always think that." Gargi sighed, looking in the direction of the table where Nikhil and Sharanya sat. "See people are of different kinds. Sharanya has forgotten how to do anything for herself. She is used to doing things for others. So she needs that gentle push. And Nikhil is also like that. He is too shy. Both of them are over thinkers. Someone has to give then the push right?"

"Yes, I agree. But that crush thing was a little too much. What of Sharanya felt bad or what if it caused issues between them. They're still trying to understand and wrap their heads around their marriage."

"She didn't. Besides I think Sharanya always had a thing for Bharat. Even though small and fleeting. He just didn't fit the bill she had in mind for the ultimate partner. He was exact opposite of her principles. She just rejects it and projects that as a dislike for him."

"You need to stop analysing everything about everyone. Your mind is always so full." Arun muttered.

Gargi turned to him. "What's up with you these days? You're finding everything I do annoying. I am the one whose hormones are in a storm but you're the one expressing it."

Arun sighed. "We decided we won't bring blame the hormones up again."

Gargi turned away irritated.

"Let's go," He said picking up the glass of milkshake she had requested.

She took it from his hand and walked away, instead of walking towards the table. Sighing he followed her to the isolated part of the lawn.

"Gargi, I am sorry."

Gargi made a face and sat on the bench.

Arun sat beside her, silently.

"Are you concerned that I won't be a good mother?" Gargi asked without beating around the bush.

"What! No, no way. You'll be a wonderful mother."

"Then what is it that's bothering you?"

Arun fell silent. Gargi sighed and sipped her milkshake.

Sharanya and Nikhil walked down the passageway towards their room. They had bid a quick goodbye to Gargi and Arun who seemed to be having a private moment on a bench in the lawn.

"What was your favorite subject?" Sharanya asked.

"Python Programming and Database Management Systems." He answered.

"I have never heard of those subjects."

"Let me guess, yours was philosophy?" He asked as he turned his body towards with his hands in his pocket.

"Nah, I liked English. In post-grad, I used to like Decision Science, it was interesting and challenging."

Nikhil nodded with a thoughtful smile. "You did MBA HR?"

She nodded.

"MBA for me was mostly boring. Too much theory."

"Theory is fun and easy,"
