Ram and Priya talked about their days at dinner. It was becoming a new ritual in their relationship. At first, Priya was hesitant. But Ram coaxed her a lot. Finally, she had started to open up to Ram.
Ram listened to her with a smile plastered on his face. He enjoyed these moments, this newfound freedom from his lonely nights, and a dinner table with pin-drop silence.
Though, Priya's stories were not the most interesting ones. She mostly complained about her day and her students.
Priya- I was astonished to see their behavior. This generation I tell you, Mr. Kapoor. A whole group of 5-6 students was just sleeping. I woke them up and asked why were they behaving like this. Do you know what did they answer?

Ram- Really?
Priya- Can you believe it?

Ram- You removed them from the class?
Priya- What else should I have done? Takiya laake deti kya?
Ram- [chuckled] Of course not.
After dinner, Ram and Priya went to their bedroom. Ram checked the time. It was 9'O clock. They had an early dinner that night. A plan crossed Ram's mind. He mustered some courage to keep the proposal before Priya.
Ram- Priya.
Priya- Ha?
Ram- Have you ever wandered at night?
Priya- No, I was never that jobless.
Ram- I mean...
Without finishing his words, Ram kept looking at her. Priya was reading a book. But feeling his gaze she also anticipated something and looked at him.
Priya- No.
Ram- Takiya kalam hain kya ye tumhari? Takiya leke so jaati ho. "No, no" wali takiya. Sun lo pehle.
Priya- Achha, bataiye.
Ram- Wo, car hain bahar, and the rain has stopped too. I can drive ourselves to Juhu. The driver doesn't need to be pestered. It's only 9'O clock. 2 hours trip won't hurt your sleeping cycle. And...
