Laksh looked at her and smiled. He went closer to her and started to feed her like the other day.

"I guess, we can talk now." laskh said, giving her a bite of the chicken. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

"I don't know. You?"

"There's nothing really interesting about me. How about you tell me something about yourself?"

Ragini smiled. "Okay... I'm 24. I'm a writer. I love apples. My favourite colour is black . Your turn."

"Well, I'm 25. Obviously, I'm a nurse. Not a big fan of apples. Grapes, though, are my favourite and my favourite colour is blue."

"Are you kidding? Apples are the best. And you are a nurse, aren't you supposed to recommend people to eat apples" ragini chuckled .

Laskh squinted his nose and shook his head. "I think I've only had 3 apples in my life before." laksh giggled. "Where are your friends? I mean, I don't think anyone has ever visited you yet."

"I just moved here to mumbai. I mean, my family and I have moved here about 6 months ago. My only friends are the neighbours, workmates and whenever I get the chance to meet a random person like you."

"What about the boyfriend?" He asked, trying not to be obvious that he's wanting to know more about her love life.

"What makes you think I have a boyfriend?" ragini giggled.

"The fact that you didn't answer my question, I'm guessing you do have a boyfriend." He smirked and ragini laughed at him.

"No." She smiled at him. "I don't have a boyfriend."

Her food was on hold as he stopped. He smiled at her and they were both obviously blushing.

"How about you? What does your girlfriend do?"

"What makes you think I have a girlfriend ? And don't use that same response I did."

"You ...can't be single with that face." She was serious but she smiled after.

Laksh's face wasn't happy at all. "I'm married with 2 daughters."

Ragini's face fell like she was about to die. "Oh... That's uh..."

"Gotcha!" laksh said with a smirk and laughed. Ragini lightly slapped his arm.

"If my left arm isn't casted, I would've choked you in the neck until you passed out." She said but laughed with him after.
"No. I'm single, too." laksh smiled and they were just smiling at each other. Minutes later, laksh had to leave. Ragini let him go and said thanks for a good conversation. Before leaving, laksh told her that tomorrow is his day off. Ragini was quite sad but she didn't want to sound obsessed with him so she just smiled.

It was around 4 pm when ragini got the good news. By 5pm, she heard someone enter the room. He was wearing a baseball cap, a blue shirt and jeans. He was also carrying a black basket of apples when ragini saw him.

"laksh?"

"Uhh... Hey ragini . Just thought I'd drop these off for you." He showed her the basket.

"My favourite." She smiled at him.

"With your favourite colour for the basket." He giggled and placed it on the table.

"Thanks. That's really sweet of you." She said, looking at the basket which was actually black in col

"So, how are you?" He asked, sitting on the bed beside her. Ragini placed her free hand on Laksh's folded leg on the bed.

"I'm good. Dr. Kapoor said I get to go out tomorrow." She smiled at him.

"That's amazing. Congratulations." He said. "Hold up. Let's celebrate with your favourite fruit." Laksh stood up and grabbed one apple and washed it. He went back to his place on the bed in front of Ragini .

"Here, take a bite." Laksh reached it close to her mouth to take a bite and so she did. "Very good, big girl!" He teased as if she was a little kid.

Ragini grabbed the apple. "Okay, your turn." She did the same thing he did to her but Laksh moved back a bit.

"No. You know I don't like apples." He said.

"Please, for me. Come one." She held his hand, pulling him closer to take a bite but he was pulling back.

"No. I really don't want to." No one realized, their hands were on each other pulling the other to its side.

"Please, Laksh. Come one. One bite!" Her eyes were really convincing and he just couldn't say no.

"Okay, fine." He went closer, thinking twice if he would really give in to her request. He was battling between his mind and heart and so, the heart won. He took a bite and had a stank face while swallowing the apple. Ragini just laughed out loud at him and he couldn't help but laugh too.

They spent more time talking, getting to know each other and feeding one another some apples. Laksh left during raginis dinner time. Swara was on duty to help ragini for dinner time. They both had strange and teasing face from the girl so laksh just decided to leave.

The next day, Ragini was going to go home. Her parents called and said, a driver will take her home cause they were both in a business trip in London . Laksh's duty was on the afternoon so Ragini decided to go home at around 4 in the afternoon. Laksh helped her pack her things. The driver was waiting for her downstairs and the cart for Ragini's stuff was outside with her wheelchair.

"Ready?" laksh asked, loading ragini's stuff on the cart.

"Yeah. All set." Ragini said just before going down the bed. Laksh helped her walked to the wheelchair but Laksh still had one more question before releasing the patient.

"Uhm... Ragini ?"

"Yeah?"

"Will... You... Go out... With Me?" He was shaking and slightly smiling.

"Yeah, I will. You said you'll push my wheelchair till I get in the car. We're going to go down together." She didn't get him. She thought he was asking if he's going to bring her to the car, down at the lobby.

"I... I mean, like on a date? I won't be seeing you until your next accident so..." He giggled. Was he really expecting her to get another accident?

She smiled, feeling glad that he asked that before she got out of the hospital.

"Dinner tonight at my house?" She asked, as she sat on the wheelchair.

He leaned forward and whispered. "I'll be there."
Giving her a peck on the cheek.
