•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
मैं कहीं भी जाता हूं.. तुमसे ही मिल जाता हूं
तुमसे ही... तुमसे ही....
शोर मैं खामोशी है.. थोड़ी सी बेहोसी है
तुमसे ही... तुमसे ही...🥀

Time skip and Rutu is in his hometown for more than a 1 week now. He decided not to waste his time laying and binge-watching insted he should visit his favourite teenage restaurant and places.

He went to a Restaurant, can't say favourite but that place is filled with his entire teenage memories. His Friend circle birthday parties to Cricket victory parties that restaurant has really a small yet beautiful place in Rutu's heart.

He entered the restaurant and his nostrils fills with the nostalgia. He remove his goggles and roam his eyes around the peaceful surrounding which is giving his heart a strange contentment.

He found a known figure sitting in a corner lost on her work. He realised that it was none other than Utkarsha and walked towards him.

"Hii mam! How can I help you!". asked Rutu biting his smile.

"Please give me some space!" Replied Utkarsha and look at the person.

"Hey!! What are you doing here?" asked Utkarsha.

"Aise hi ghum Raha hoon by the way what are you doing here with these documents?" Rutu asked eyeing the papers spreading all over the table.

"I came here for a buisness lunch!!" Utkarsha replied still maintaining her warm smile.

"Oh! Ok. Let me accompany you till then!" Said Rutu sitting on the chair.

Utkarsha hesitate a bit and nod her head. She again start her work.

Rutu looked around.

"Hey! Utkarsha" Rutu tried to start a conversation.

"Hmm" replied Utkarsha looking at him.

"You know what? you are in a saree when everyone around you are in middies and jeans. You know you look gorgeous in Saree!!" Rutu said whatever  came in his mind.

He will not be able to face anyone only if he could realise what he just told to Utkarsha. But surprisingly Rutu didn't find it wrong for odd reasons and ofcourse Utkarsha is looking gorgeous in that Saree.

After hearing the words Rutu said her, Utkarsha feel a bit nervous and strange feelings which are running vigorously in her stomach.

Utkarsha smiled at him and controlling her blush she said "Don't give silly compliments like college students!."

"There is nothing wrong in giving compliments. Age doesn't matter. But seriously, you look gorgeous in saree." What is happening with Rutu?  He don't dare to look at girls and here he is comfortably complimenting a girl. Maybe because she was his classmate he thought.

"Did your cricket training contains any extra flirting training?" Asked Utkarsha not liking his compliments.

"Hey! I'm telling you the fact and you're thinking I'm flirting" replied Rutu who is still in shock of his  sudden change in behaviour.

"I don't like all these!!" Said Utkarsha.

"If you are this beautiful and gorgeous then you can't miss all these" here he again go.

Utkarsha made a face and Rutu raise his hand in surrender understanding her discomfort.

"What's up? How's buisness going?" Rutu again tried to start a new conversation.

"Yeah! Fine!!" Replied Utkarsha in simple words while smiling awkwardly.

"Atharva said something about Brand ambassador?! Do you want me to be?" asked Rutu still hoping for a good reply like a 10th grader utkarsha.

Well the main point was Rutu is requesting her, to be her Company's Brand Ambassador. Is this happened before?

"No, No. Not necessary. I'll manage it." Utkarsha replied.

"Hey! Don't worry if you wan--"

"No need Ruturaj!!" Said Utkarsha.

"Ok! I'll leave now!!" Utkarsha said glancing at her watch.

"What? You are here to meet someone for buisness right?" Rutu asked not understanding her reason for leave.

"How can I do buisness with those who don't respect time?" Utkarsha said getting up from the chair.

"In buisness people go through finances, not time!!" Rutu tried to reason her.

"Money is necessary, but just money is not necessary" saying that She leave from there.

Rutu look at her disappearing figure with a strange feeling building in his heart. He admired her everything her smile, her talk and more than that her being simple. What is happening with Rutu? Maybe he know!!

"Mam didn't you like the guy you met that day?" asked a waiter around his 30s to a tensed Sunetra.

"No! The boy said ok but my daughter, she didn't even glanced at his photos and reject him!" said Sunetra making faces.

"Leave it mam! The guy was a bit average!!" Said the waiter to make her feel good. Sometimes strange people are so sweet, but here he knows her for more than a year now.

Sunetra visits Cafe in times for her daughter proposal. It's a different thing that Utkarsha hate this.

"Was he?" said a grinning Sunetra.

"Yes!" assured the waiter.

"Ok! Now look at him" said Sunetra showing him another guy photo.

"Shall I tell the truth? That last guy was better!" Said the waiter.

"Shutup! You tell something about all the guys!!" yelled Sunetra.

"Coffee??" The waiter asked.

"Ok!! Go!" Sunetra said.

" you are looking good in person than the photo!!" Sunetra said to the guy.

The guy look here and there.

"Whom are you searching? Are you waiting for somebody? Sunetra asked.

"Where is your daughter?" asked the guy.

"She won't come!!" Sunetra replied.

"Oh! She don't like coffee?" The guy asked.

"She don't like the concept of this kind of meeting!!" Sunetra said.

"Then why did you call me?" asked the guy.

"Talk to me, son!! If I'll like you then, I'll talk to her." Said Sunetra grinning.

"I thought, meeting in the coffee shop is like a new trend. Family will be open minded but, she is not even present here. I can imagine, how my future will be with her. I CAN IMAGINE!!"

And he run away from there.

" Listen!! Listen!! " Sunetra yell but he had gone.

She take a deep sigh thinking what would be her daughter future.
