Janpath
4 :10 PM Onwards

Raghav: You wish! (under his breath, barely audible)
Radz looking at Ritwik "Tum jao yaar Australia! I hope you fall in love with a kangaroo and live there happily ever after" (rubbing her sore wrist)
Riwtik: Pehle apna chashma le le (pointing to the waiting clerk)
Radz: (to the clerk) Do you have brothers? They are the most annoying creatures. I will trade you mine for a sister?
The clerk laughs out loud " Nahi mere 3 bhai hain"
Ritwik: HA!
Radz: Shit! I am sorry....
Clerk: These are not prescription just over the counter" (handing her a white sheet of paper)
Radz: Thanks, I am going to go get them right now, he is waiting for me to go blind, I cant let it happen (as her bro yanks her makeshift pony tail) I need these (pointing to her eyes) so I can watch his downfall. (gleeful)
Ritwik just grins as he texts, his sister is oblivious of what he texted her, she continues rambling
Clerk breaks the monolog with a "You sir in the back?" at Raghav
He pulls the earbud outta one ear and steps forward... she is still at the spot by the counter...
Her phone rings she checks who it is, Raghav is standing by her as Ritwik has stepped away........
The clerk looks at the couple and thinks "Wow! Look great together. She talks too much tho"
Radz tries to stuff her binder, her small wallet and the sheet of paper all at one time into her long jhola
Things fall out..... she swears under her breath....
Raghav bends down politely colelcts the fallen knick knacks, they are scented like some flower..... he thinks
The clerk is talking with an employee
Raghav holds her things she takes them one at a time.
Accidentally giving her his ear buds....
She takes it all and puts it away...
Radz: Thanks!
Raghav: Hmmm
Radz: I was supposed to be at work by 4 its already 4:20. I am going to be so screwed..... I cant even blame the twerp for it.... Its going to take me an hour to get to Malviya Nagar. I might as well just go home and mope

He looks at her like "Are you talking to me? Did you want an answer?"
Radz: I am so looking forward to going back and wringing the Enforcement Director's neck (Ashwini Kumar UPSIDC)
Raghav tries to control his amusement, as he thinks "She has NO idea who I am, yet she contunues to talk"
Radz: I bet I will see you there next week, lounging in those waiting room chairs, having people walk over to you handing you your signed papers. Some guys are born with all the luck I tell you. (cynical)
Ritwik: Lets go... Rad..... I have to be someplace at 5!(by the front doors)
Radz: I need some of your chutzpah and that ability to talk your way out of paying the government what you rightfully owe. (beginning to rant)
Raghav just stares.....
Radz: Thanks for helping me... put my stuff away, if I dont see you in UP I will see you ordering a drink (smiles, a big glorious smile, like she has known him for a while)
Raghav smiles back a fledgling yet killer of a smile, stretching his soul patch a little, as her eyes pause on it.....
He fingers it at the exact moment.
She notices his hands, long tapering fingers, well groomed nails... something about that description forming in her mind, causes her heart to skip a beat..... and her chest hurts for some reason......
Radz: See ya! (casually) (walks away)
Raghav: Yep! (spontaneously, unaware) (watching her walk away)
