Raghav, Amma and Chini talked that night, they had to figure out a way to get Imlie to move from her hostile place towards Aryan andto at least get her to speak to him on a civil manner and not as a stranger. They thought of an idea and decided to try it the next morning.

Next morning after breakfast-

I- let's get moving Raghu , we are getting late

R- oh I'm sorry I forgot to mention I have a field assignment today, I found a lead on that case I'm working on

I- and you are telling me this now? I'm going to be late !

R- sorry this happened pretty last minute, I didn't get a chance to inform you

I-ok I guess I can figure something else out

R- there comes mr Rathod, why don't you go with him , you both are going to the same place!

I - no I think I'll just go in late.

R- can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute

I- ok, but what about?
Imlie reluctantly followed Raghav to the kitchen and wondered if whatever this is would make her even more late.

R- so what's the problem between you and Mr Rathod?

I-There's no problem, I barely know him

R-And I know you for the past 5 years, you are different when he's around, so either tell me what's wrong or show me that everything is ok between the two of you

I- where is this coming from. ? There's no problem, he just doesn't matter

R- Imlie he's our boss , he has bought over the Pagdandiya newspaper and has been kind enough to offer us a job here , he has trusted us enough to allows us to choose our own assignments, I don't know about you but this is a pretty good deal and if you keep behaving with him the way you are, we both miss on the chance of making an actual difference with our journalism!

I- I see what you are saying , I can do better, my job and the work I'm doing for people on the grassroots comes before everything else

R- Before what else?

I- nothing , I can go with Mr Rathod , see you at work later?

R- no , I'm just going to be out all day, I will see you tonight

I- ok sure achoooo

R- looks like you have caught a cold , I can check in with your doc make sure whatever you take for this doesn't have a side effect with other meds you are on

I- you worry too much

R- not true , I worry the right amount

I- hahaha you are impossible!

R- mr Rathod is leaving come on ask him quick !

I- ugh ok

Aryan who overheard their conversation was almost excited with the prospect of getting some alone time with Imlie.

I- hi

Ar- hello

I- are you leaving for work?

Ar- yes, would you like to come along?

I- oh ok, I was just thinking of...

Ar- thinking what?

I- nothing, we should get going it's getting late!

Ar- yes let's leave.

Raghav and Chini Hi- fied each other and made sure the the other part of their plan was done as well.
