Ragini closes her eyes and prays: god…plzzz… Lunch shd be first..meeting have to be next…
Laksh looks at everyone and his eyes suddenly fall on Ragini.
He likes her cute face… The way she is praying in childish way… He can’t listen her, but he can understand her lip reading. Ragini opens her eyes and she is at once shocked to see that Laksh is seeing her. She bends her head, Laksh turns away his face.
He says, “guys, it’s already 1…”
One man: yes sir. We shall begin with lunch…
Ragini jumps in happiness, her friends stop her. Laksh looks this with his eye corner and smiles.
Laksh tries to be around premises of Ragini… It is buffet lunch system. He stands just near the items, Ragini and her friends come. She is putting all varieties in plate.
Friend: what hurry yar..? You can eat one after one…
Ragini: hey..don’t control me near food…
Laksh laughs listening to her words.
Ragini and her friends sit near a table. Laksh comes and sits beside their table only. With Laksh the VIPs also sit.

Next day in office,
Ragini is sitting before computer and sleeping. She puts her head on her hand, she jerks and suddenly wakes, she sleeps and jerks again.
“Ofo…i have to drink a coffee,,,” she says.
Friend: just now you ate dairy milk chocolate full…!!!
Ragini: i’m going to drink coffee… You coming or not??
She says and walks back, she suddenly bumps into someone, she slips, but someone holds her. She closes her eyes and unknowingly puts her hands on his shoulders. She opens her eyes and shocked to see Laksh.
Laksh: are you ok miss?

By the time Ragini went home, Laksh’s parents are there. She doesn’t know that they are his parents. Sumi takes Ragini inside. She is making her ready.
Sumi: they are your boss parents. He likes you itseems…
Ragini: Are you telling about Laksh??
Sumi: yaa…
Ragini remains silent. She is about to take a jalebi and eat. Sumi beats her hand. “You can eat later…”
But she holds one secretly. Sumi takes her out. She is amazed to see Laksh already there. Both look at each other.
Ragini pov: how to eat it now??

All will go out. Ragini turns other side and eats it. Laksh keeps telling something about him. After eating she turns at him.
Ragini: oh… I see… Now, i will tell about me…
Laksh keeps looking at her.
Ragini pov: why he is looking at me??
Laksh moves towards her, she scares and moves back and struck to wall. He comes closer to her.
Ragini pov: what he is going to do…
Laksh raises his hand and puts her finger near her lips and takes the jalebi juice that is sliding down from her lips with his finger. She trembles with his touch. Laksh then tastes that jalebi juice.
Ragini bends her head.
Laksh: it’s tasty… Did you prepare it…
Ragini: i know only eating…
Laksh laughs. She too laughs looking at him.

The grand marriage of Raglak is done.
On the first day of Ragini’s life…

Laksh: ok maa.. I will tell her…
Laksh goes near Ragini, she is sleeping. He goes near her and wakes her. She wakes and looks at him. Her eyes are very tired, he understood that she cried a lot..
Laksh: what happened dear…
Ragini: nothing… I’m just sleeping…
Laksh: did maa scold you??
Ragini: no no…nothing like that…
Laksh holds her face, “tell me truth…”
Ragini: I don’t know that I shouldn’t eat before them. I was about to eat, maa and chachi scolded.
Laksh: did you eat??
Ragini says no…
He takes her down. They both sit in car. He takes her somewhere. She looks at the place and gets excited. It’s a food festival place.
Ragini: but… I don’t want to eat…
Laksh: ragini…you need not kill your hunger. You have to enjoy it today, bcz…this will be only today…
Ragini looks at him. He smiles, both go there… Ragini starts eating everything.
