At a coffee shop....

Siddhant was working on the case and meanwhile drinking coffee. Just then he heard someone sitting at the back of his seat pleading to someone. Siddhant turned to see them.

"Mam, your terms and conditions are too many. I just can't accept them. I am so eager to work with MM films but these clauses are too stringent."

"Working with MM films is not at all an easy job. Ya to apni aukaat badha lo, ya fir sapne dekhna chod do."

Maya caught Siddhant eavesdropping their conversation and left the shop.

"Mahadev bachaye aisi aurat se. Hamara pala kabhi isse na pade, varna ye to hame kaccha chaba jayegi."

In the morning.....

Siddhant was jogging on the street. He saw someone playing with street children in jogging suit. He couldn't see her face first but as he approached near her he got shocked.

"Is she really the same person I saw yesterday? No. This can't be true. They must be twins. Yes. This can be true then."

Siddhant was smiling seeing them playing.

At MM films' office.....

"Sir, you can go inside the cabin. Maya mam has completed her meeting and is waiting for you."

Siddhant went inside the cabin.

"Good morning, mam. I'm...."

He got shocked to see the same lady he saw first at the coffee shop and then on the street.

"No, No....."

"What? Are you okay? Have a seat."

"Do you have twin sisters?"

"Sorry? No. And why do you want to know if I have a sister or not? And you are weird."

"Actually I saw you the other day and you were different so.... Sorry, mam. My mistake. I'm Siddhant Sinha, lawyer of Ms.Ragini Gadodia."

"And what have you come here for?"

"Ms.Ragini Gadodia has filed a case against MM films under copyright infringement and I have come here to bring to you the notice regarding the same. Here it is."

"Your client and you should think twice about filing a case against MM films."

Siddhant stands up from his seat.

"Our next meeting will be in the court."

And he leaves the cabin.

"Is she really the same woman I saw before? The MAYA MEHROTRA. What's with me meeting her again and again and again?" Siddhant was self - talking.

At Ragini's house.....

Ragini and her mother were having lunch when they heard someone knock the door. Ragini went to attend the person.

"Hi, Siddhant. Come in."

"Sorry to disturb you in the middle of your lunch, I wanted to tell that I have prepared and given the notice of the case to MM films. Day after tomorrow we have to be present at the court."

"Thank you for your efforts. Why don't you join us for lunch?"

"No. Thank you. You both can continue."

"Maa. Say something. How can he leave without having lunch? Today maa has prepared her special dish. You can't leave now."

"Yes, beta. Come have a seat."

Without any option left, Siddhant complied to have lunch.

"Mam, this pav bhaji is delicious. I have never eaten such a dish in my life. I want to kiss the magical hands which have made this dish."

Ragini coughed and her mom gave a sly smile.

"Ragini show your hands to him."

"Maaaaa..."

"Beta, I didn't make pav bhaji. Ragini made it. She loves cooking. I have made the sweet."

Now Siddhant coughed. After a while everyone started laughing. The house echoed with their laughter.

After finishing the lunch, Siddhant was about to leave.

"Beta, you appreciated Ragini's cooking skills but what about me? Didn't you like the sweet?"

"It was amazing aunty."

She raised her hand forward.

"This time you can kiss the hand."

Siddhant gave peck on her hand.

"Actually, I wouldn't have minded if you would have showed the same gesture towards my daughter."

Siddhant and Ragini both got flustered.

"It's been a long time, I should leave now."

"Yes, you have to prepare for the case also. We'll meet day after tomorrow then. Bye."

After closing the door, Ragini went towards her mom.

"Maa, what was all this behavior?"

"What? He is a nice guy so...."

Ragini went inside her room and sat near her window.

"Pata nahi wo hamare bare mein kya soch rahe honge?"

Siddhant was sitting on his bike outside the building.

"Pata nahi wo hamare bare mein kya soch rahi hongi?"

Ragini and Siddhant's eyes caught each other. Ragini messaged him.

Sorry, for whatever my mom did.

Don't be sorry. She is such a lovely lady. Actually I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of you mom.🙊

You didn't do it intentionally. So don't be sorry.

Okay. We should quit this sorry thing.😅

Yeah

So. Friends?🙄

Friends

Siddhant kept his phone inside and waved goodbye to her. And she did the same.

Ragini was smiling hugging her pillow and Siddhant was smiling while riding the bike.
