Jor Bagh Road

8:30 PM ish

Raghav: Kyon nahi...
They stood facing each other on a sidewalk of a busy road.... nothing was said, despite the world's most talkative person being present....
Raghav: Do you want to go to Hong Kong or Singapore over the weekend?
She stares at him startled.....
Radhika: Itni DOOR?
He smiles....
Radhika: I just.... (as she took a step towards him)
He reached out and clutched her hand.....
Raghav: I do too... (softly)
What ever they both wanted..... they BOTH wanted it............
Radhika: My parents think I am infatuated with you....
Raghav: And?..... (do you agree)
Radhika: I said I was "obsessed" (laughing under her breath)
Raghav: Hmmm (still struck by her innocence)
Radhika: Tumhe mera nose ring pasand nahi?
Raghav: I am obsessed (he laughs under his breath) with it
Radhika feels it just as he reaches to do the same.......
Cars honk as they steer closer to catch a glimpse of the two........
Auto waalas sneer and snigger
The night sky is almost purple.... stars appear faint and distant.........
The Kwality Wall's icecream guy just stops his cart by them.... hoping to rid his box of the few treats left
Raghav: Its been so long... (muttering)
Radhika: I know...
Their eyes communicated the rest...... as it rested on each other's lips........
Radhika: mere saath UP chalo next week (giggles)
A brief look of something serious passes through his face.......... he just pushes his glasses in........
"For how long"
Radhika: Jab tak hamara man kare....
Raghav:Can we move in together after we return?
He had done that a couple times..... his parents didnt care for it much.......
Radhika: mere parents to mujhe maar daalenge (afraid)
Ice cream guy :Ice cream Sir jee?
He haves a dismissal.........
The man swears under his breath as he wheels his cart away
Raghav: Radhika, there has got to be a way..... (pained and troubled)
Radhika: Lets get hitched..........
She almost clings to him after saying that.... he takes a step fwd to receive her body.......
Never known to think before she spoke, the
words even shock her ....
