Things were going perfectly as planned and in no time Ritvesh discovered how beautiful the island was. The scenic beauty of the island was good but what made it even better was the fact that he was alone there with Raksha. He told Raksha that he wanted to kiss her. He thought she would bluntly deny. But to his surprise she did not. She replied "Hand or Cheek?". Now Ritvesh got a little doubtful. "Am I dreaming? Let me pinch myself and find out. I'd rather not. Last time when I did the pain lasted for a week. I wont take a chance this time." Suddenly he found that something was disturbing him. Raksha disappeared all of a sudden. It was his alarm. "Shucks!!! that was a dream. Stupid alarm. It could have gone off atleast after the kiss." Then he realised that this dream was a result of watching 'kaho na pyaar hai' last night. He had found himself on the same island that Hrithik and Amisha dance.
He then looked at the time. It was 3.45 pm. He tried to recollect his thoughts. "Its a sunday and I had been sleeping cozily but the alarm woke me up at 3.45. Why would I set the alarm for 3.45 in the afternoon?" That is when he realised that he had to meet Raksha today at 5 pm. This was their second meeting. After the first brief meeting they had at CCD, they continued their tradition of HI's and smiles in the temple before Ritvesh decided it is time to meet again. This time Ritvesh requested, because he could not order, Raksha to be ready by 5 pm. He would go and pick her up for a movie. Raksha told him that she had been waiting to watch this movie for about a week so she wont be able to talk to him much during the movie. He was sad with this aspect but happy overall that he is taking a gaint stride by taking her to a movie. He told himself "There will be many more movies and I would have a perfect reason every time a new movie releases, to meet Raksha."
It was a decent movie but Raksha proved to be a movie buff. She was fully engrossed in the movie that Ritvesh never found even a single second to talk to her. For him it was about her but for her it was about the movie. She enjoyed the movie and he enjoyed her company.
On their way back Raksha started "Ritvesh, I am sorry. Its just that I love movies a lot that I seem to forget people around me. You would have felt lonely but this is the way I am. If you do not feel like to coming to a movie with me I can understand. I am perfectly Ok with it." To that Ritvesh said "Are you kidding me? I am fine with the fact that you like movies so much. Atleast we got to talk during the interval. Its much better than just a glimpse in the temple. So I am game anyday anytime." Though most of whatever Ritvesh said was true he was not fine with the fact that Raksha loved movies so much. He brushed those thoughts aside and said "So what next? Dinner?" Raskha replied
"I guess some other time."
"So you wont agree to anything the first time I guess."
"Well, I agreed for the movie."
"Oh ya. I almost forgot."
"Is that sarcasm that you are engulfed in right now?"
"Naah, I was kidding. Alright we shall fix up a dinner appointment some other time."
Ritvesh dropped Raksha at her house and when she was about to leave he said "My phone stays idle now a days. It would be great if it could get a mobile number to chat with"
"So is this your mobile phone speaking or you speaking?"
"Whom would you give your number?"
"I guess your phone"
"Then its my mobile phone asking you"
She laughed and gave him her number and left still smiling.
