Shreya kitchen ki taraf bhagte hue gai aur Bolne lagi, " Todo, yaad hai last time tumne apne ghar me, kuch pakane ki himakat kari thi, tab pura ghar jalane ki naubat aagyi thi. Wo to tumhara ghar tha. Lekin ye mera ghar nahi hai. Na hai me itni ameer hu ki tumhare is cold coffee or chips ke experiment ke reaction ko jhel paau. To please tum apne not so amazing cooking experiments apne lab me karna. MERE GHAR KE KITCHEN ME NAHI. "

Itna sunte hi Rakshit started laughing silently as he was successful at distracting her. She made coffee and fried some chips and he helped her in garnishing. They both were enjoying their coffee but Rakshit noticed that Shreya was off. She was in her own thought and was checking her injured wrist again and again. She noticed that Rakshit has seen him , to divert the things she said, " Tumhe sunset bahut pasand hai na. Yaha se adhe ghante ki duri per ek sunset point hai. Would you like to join me? ". Rakshit nodded.

Meanwhile when Shreya was checking her phone she remember something, someone messaged her yesterday. ( that's why she stopped in the midway when going towards meeting Rakshit) She replied back .

In the evening, both Rakshit and Shreya went to Sunset Point. It was a beautiful place. It was a restaurant at an elevation of 1500 meters from sea level. Some clouds were also visible. There was a very weird calmness. No noise, nothing. Pure calmness. It was favorite place of Rakshit, he always wanted to come here. When Rakshit saw all these things. He was on cloud nine like a baby. He was so happy that he side hugged Shreya and said, " THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOJO. ". After sensing his excitement Shreya smiled and started enjoying the view. Shreya ne mann me kaha : Thank you Bhagwaan ji, Rakshit ke lie. She had ordered all his favorite dishes, sweet dishes his favorite song was playing. And Rakshit was really enjoying. After 36-48 hours of duty, he barely gets time for his favorite things. Shreya knew all this and plan each and everything, so that he can enjoy a bit.

At the hospital, Advit saw the message and was smiling , he had no idea with whom he is talking. But don't know why, he felt a sense of positivity.

Next morning, Rakshit said, " I have to go. Kal meri ek important heart surgery hai . Usme kuch complications hai, jiske baare me mujhe apni team se baaat krni hai to me lunch karke chala jaaunga. "
Shreya said, " No problem. Ye batao ki tum lunch me kya khaaoge. "He said, " Tumhare haath ka Rava dosa, and garlic tomato chuntey ".

After lunch Rakshit left.

Shreya was checking her bracelet and was trying to be calm as much as possible. Aur hamesha ki tarah apne thoughts se bahar nikalne ke lie usne music ka sahara lia.. Aur hamesha ki tarah usne aaj bhi raat bhar kaam kia. Tabhi ek message pop up hua.
