Rajeev : ok saru i will meet them and i will try my best to impress them because I can't loose you , it's not that i don't want to meet them I was afraid of your father (said in a low voice).

By listening this Sarika laughed and said

Rajeev :  without knowing the meaning you have flirted with me till the time i proposed you babe . Accha leave it tell me when i need to meet them as I want to make free time from my works. ( Said tiredly)

Sarika : don't worry raj , just let me complete my studies then we will concentrate on your business then you don't want to work this hard .

Rajeev : first of all it's not my business , it's our business and second i don't think I can satisfy them with that money we will get from that business so in the future also I need to work like this only.

Sarika : no problem because we are together in this right?

Rajeev : yes babe . Did you have your dinner?

Sarika : no , don't worry i will have it. Bye go to home early and eat something as well before sleeping,love you.

Rajeev : love you too saru, bye babe.

After talking with Rajeev, Sarika went down and sees her father and mother, chandrika are sitting in drawing room. She went towards them and sat beside Chandra.

Chandrika : aunty, uncle when you will meet him?

Radhika : tomorrow morning is it ok Sarika?

Sarika just nodded to it as she was hurt that now her mumma is calling her full name instead of calling baby or baccha. They had their dinner in silence and departed to their respective rooms. After entering into her room Sarika messages him about timmings and place of meeting and drifted to sleep.

Next morning after breakfast Surya and radhika left to meet Rajeev after seeing his photo shown by Sarika.

They are sitting in the cafe when they saw rajeev coming in old model bike . When he parked his bike suddenly he surrounded by two people asking for money for operation of their baby showing the small child with them. Rajeev by seeing their vulnerable condition gave money immediately, they took the money and left happily, the small boy who was in his mother arm looking weak  till rajeev gave money now get down from her arms and started running happily.

Rajeev went inside and spotted Surya and radhika , went towards them and greeted them politely and waited there permission to sit awkwardly. When Surya didn't said anything radhika told him to sit embarrassingly due to her husband behaviour.
