Chapter 20 - You and I

Words failed them as they kept staring at each other in the eyes. It was as if the whole world around them melted into a single canvas and they were the only humans present. Looking at each others'eyes eyes, a hundred of emotions ran through them, overwhelming them.

Only thing that they heard was the thump of their hearts in their ears, while their mind froze on the image of the other standing before.

"Sir!"

The waitress' voice broke Sanskar from his thoughts. "Y-Yes?"

"Sir, are you alright? I've been calling your name over and over." she replied. "I'm sorry for ruining your coat.

"It's okay. No problem. I got up too soon."

"You're to kind sir." the waitress smiled. "I'll go get you another cup of coffee. Please sit."

Sanskar nodded and watched her leave.

Feeling a pat on his shoulder, he turned around, only to find his cheeks pinched.

Ragini's mouth gaped open in wonder. "Wah...it's really you."

Sanskar was glad she had his cheeks pinched since it was helping him hide his blush at her touch. No matter how much time passed, she never failed to have that effect on him. "Yeah." Sanskar responded with a smile, bringing a shaky hand to place on her head. "And it's really you...Ra...Ragini."

Ragini breathed in a shaky breath. Her name on his lips were like music to her. Oh how many nights she had dreamt of him calling out to her, asking her to be in his arms, asking her to kiss him goodnight. But he always disappeared. It was only a figment of her imagination after all.

'But he's really here right now. He's here...alive and real...' Ragini could feel her knees shaking from the tirade of emotions. Backing up a little, she pretended she was taking the seat on the booth.

Sanskar did the same and sat opposite to her.

There was an awkward silence as none seemed to know how to start the conversation.

"So..." they began at the same time, pausing to look at each other with wide eyes.

"Um...you first."

"No. You speak first Sanskar."

"Ladies first." Sanskar joked with a smile.

Ragini chuckled, but nodded.

Sanskar was somewhat surprised by this. If he was right, Ragini was someone who would usually call such a comment sexist. She was after all for women empowerment and all. But...she seemed almost calm and not irritated.

'She changed in these years it seems.' Sanskar gave his attention to her when she looked at him with a smile.

"How have you been Sanskar?"

"I've been good. Ohio is a beautiful place and the people are amicable. What about you?"

"I've been good as well. I...I've joined Laksh's company actually."

"Ah! Nice. I hope he hasn't been troubling you much. But I guess Swara would keep him in line."

Ragini chuckled. "Yeah. She would. You know them well." she commented. 'But it's only us who don't know anything about you. How could we when you won't let us?'
