Chapter 10

😌 A Quasistatic equillibrium 😌

"Yes.....yaaah...yaah...very well..Just park here. Perfect!!"
Says Ragini guiding her Van's driver to park her vanity van near Laksh's vanity van.

And Arjun was looking at all this startled. Just then Laksh comes out of his van. He was confused seeing Ragini's van adjacent to his.

"What is going on?"
Laksh asks.

"Ohh!! Hiii Laksh!! Uhmm do you mind me taking your name like that?"
Ragini comes chirping and asks him a lil hesistant.

"Hiii...And sure..you are a dear friend of mine now...Offcourse you can..! By the way, your van here?"
He asks in confusion.

She smiles at that and says excitedly..

"Yeah..afterall we have removed our repelling charges so inorder to satisfy the condition distance must also decrease right!!"

He understands her statement after a few seconds and then chuckles nodding his head.

"I so agree...Well I loved the way you explained. Hahaha..."

"Typical Science student problem!!"
She says guilty incharge while he laughs more. And then from their both go to the shoot place together.

"Am I still sleeping? What just happened right now?? India Pakistan reunion???? I am surely dreaming!!! This is a dream...I should wake up now...Get up Arjun!! Get up!! "
Arjun asks to himself all baffled seeing the scene infront of him and then his eyes fall on Dinesh. He frowns in confusion..

"What is he doing in my dream?? Should ask him only! Dinnessh!!!"
He shouts calling him.

"Yes Sir!!"
He comes running to him.

"What are you doing in my dream? Huh?"
He asks scolding him.

"Si...r... I...uh...me....work.....no.."
Dinesh was out of words. He didnt know what to say...

"Get out of my sight! I am waking up!! I know you are my assistant but that doesnt mean you will follow me in my dreams too!! Getting that? Now go!!"
Arjun scolds him while Dinesh looks at him like he saw some alien spaceship landing infront of him.

"Sir....But!?"

"Oh Brother....let me wake up! I will reach sets late then! "

Dinesh looks more confused at him and feels better to go. While Arjun closes his eyes and opens them.

"Seems like am tired...Should try again..!"
And he continues trying to wake up from his already awaken state.

Meanwhile......

"Banno ki saheli....Resham ki dori..
Chup chup ke sharmaaye dekhe chori chori...Koi maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya... Yeh Ladki haaye allah..haaye haaye re allah...!"

Sanskaar was as usual humming song with pen between his teeth and going through files when he hears a knock on the cabin door.

"Come in..."
He says looking in the file.

"Hi..."
Says Swara. And he immediately gets up from his seat staring her angrily.

"You!!! Get..."
He stops in the middle realizing that they have peace now. He reframes the sentence.

"You...Get in..Get in...Welcome...welcome..please have a seat."
He says softer while she gives him an awkward smile.

"So why are you here? Its humid right? Dont you think hehhe...."
He says removing his tie and trying to breathe.

"I came here to give these chocolates I made....I got my MBA completion certificate today so thought to share my happiness...Take..!"
She says passing him the box.
While Sanskaar was sweating profusely.

"Ohhh..Congratualtions. Thank you! Ill give them to Lucky then.."
He says wiping his sweat.

"No...these are for you!! Lucky doesnt like dark chocolates...you do! So I got them for you...Moreover Ill make his chocolates later as you both have this exchange problem. Cant take risk...hehe.."
She says extra sweetly and gets up to go..

"That is so sweet of you...Thank you!"
He says trying to give expressions.

"Hmmmm..."
She nods and leaves.

Sanskaar takes a hugggeeeeee breath.

Swara on the other hand was laughing heartily.

"Such a big draamebaaz!!"
She says to herself and goes.

Back to Raglak.....

It was difficult for Arjun to accept the reality but when Laksh explained him the reason he was satisfied but seeing Raglak friendly was still awkward for him.

Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on Ragini's van. She stands huffing and goes to open the door and finds Laksh infront of her with a tiffin in his hand. She looks at him questioning.
He rubs his nape and asks awkwardly getting red..

"Mind sharing lunch with me?? "

She was surprised but then gives him a nodding smile letting him in. He sits on the chair and she sits on the bed.

"Well...Am sorry if I disturbed your privacy...! "
He starts apologising but is cut off..

"Hey it's absolutely fine.... You are most welcome. "
She smiles and goes to get her tiffin and then sits in front of him. Both open their respective tiffins and get surprised seeing their favourites in their own boxes.

"Sam/Harry is great yaar!!! My favourite today!!"
Both exclaim in their mind.

Now, Sam and Harry are respective hired cooks of Maheshwari and Kapoor Mansions afterall they are soo rich. Why would the two sons let their mom work when its her age to retire. While Ragini and Parth had seen their mom struggling so as much as they can less her burden, they do....

Coming back to Raglak,

Together they look at each other's tiffin and their smile immediately turn into a horrified expression..

"Yuck!!! I just hate pulao/aloo!!! Why he/she had to bring this!! My poor!! I/He shouldnt have come for sharing the food!! Now he/she will insist on me taking that eeeeewwww food!!! Oh no!!"
They think making faces.

They then look at each other and pass an awkward smile.

"I wanted to enjoy my food alone yaar! I didnt know it was my favourite item today! And moreover, looking at his/her expressions its clear that he/she isnt happy with the tiffin he/she brought!!!
Goooddd!! Save my food!!!"
Both were getting different thoughts and they again pass an awkward smile.

"Lets start.."
Ragini says..

"Yeah..."
He too says sheepishly grinning.

"I should ask her/him just once!! Only once!! And I pray that he/she doesnt ask me back."
Both think yet again and hold their tiffins in forward direction towards each other.

"Take please!!"
Both insist together.

"Oh nooooo!"
They exclaim in their mind.
Hence giving an awkward smile yet again to each other, they take a small bite of each other's tiffin and swallow it.

"Awful!"
Their mind speaks.

But seeing the amount of food the other had taken...their heart blossoms happily and both cry out together to each other.....

"Lovely...Fantastic!!"

"Oh shit, he/she liked my food...Just dont take more please!!! And dont ask more please! Your tiffin is horrible! "

Their thoughts cry but the face remains tightened with a smile and they both concentrate on their tiffins praying that the other doesnt offer more!

While the crew was wondering of what is happening inside! But none said anything.

At Kapoor Mansion....

Both were talking on the phone.

"Haan Annapoorna!! Really....Kundlis matched?? Woowww!! That's great!!"
Anuradha says happily.

"Yaaa! But the engagement is to be done within a week!"
Annapoorna says sighing.

"Within a weeekkk???!!!"
She exclaims in horror.

"And marriage in a month!"

"In a month!!!??? Soooo early!"

"Hmmm...Next muhrat is after 2 years."

"Oh Goddd! How will I manage this soo early.....!"
Anuradha says holding her head.

"Everything will be fine Anu...You dont worry..."
Annapoorna tries to pacify her.

"Yeah hope soo...Chal Bye!"

"Bye!! Take care..."

Night Time....

Laksh, Nitya and Sanskaar were sitting together in the same order laying on the couches infront of Play Station playing virtual football. While Nitya was in between with a large bowl of Popcorn loathing at her brothers who werent giving her a chance.

"Sanskaar Bhai...Just give me one chance na....I also want to play."
Nitya pleads him.

"Hmmmm..."
He replies.

She rolls her eyes at him and turns to Laksh.

"Bhai atleast you are sensible...Please let me play!"
She asks hoping and Laksh turns to look at her cute pouty face. His heart melts and he gives her.

"Yipppeeeeeeee!!!! My BEST BESTEST BROTHER!! And you are the WORST WORSTEST BROTHER!!"
She shouts in Sanskaar's ears and gives a hug to Laksh while he chuckles.

"Oyyyeee Pagal....Ma Papa taught you sooo much by spending lakhs on your study and you are creating words like bestest and worstest???? Goooo!!!! Go and take class 2nd books and study about superlative degrees of adjectives first!! Ill show you how actually a worst brother behaves!! Goo!! Laksh ki chamchi!!"
Sanskaar too shouts on her.

"Shooooooooooooooooo!!!! "
She rolls her eyes at him and starts playing.

"I'll win offcourse!!!"
Sanskaar says.

"Naaa.....I'll defeat you badly...Laksh bhai just tell me how to play? Please!!"
She says.

And Laksh chuckles.

"Oye Sanky!! Stop behaving like a child!! To Gain respect, one should give respect too!! Learn from me...!!
Nitya come...I'll show you!!"
And he takes the control from her.

Sanskaar starts the game. Nitya starts to play and was loosing while Laksh was getting irritated how bad she was playing. But he kept quite.

"Nitya...do it like this...that way...Kick now!!!"
He says finally.

"Bhai..Am not getting..!!"

"Show me!! First watch me and then you play....okay!?"

"Okay and she hands over the remote to him."

20 minutes later...

Laksh and Sanskaar were playing.
Nitya was impatient.

"Bhai...I got it!"

"Nooo...see more carefully!"
Replies Laksh.

Nitya frowns.

1 hour later....

"Atleast now give!!!"
She whines.

"Hmmmm..."
Laksh speaks Sanskaar's language. Sanskaar smirks at her.

"You both are imposssibbbllee!!"
She stamps her foot and goes.

"Khelna aata nahi hai..Badi aayi!!Huh! Sanskaar concentrate yaar!"
Laksh rolls his eyes while Sanskaar chuckles.
