Bed of Roses- Part 17

Sorav was angry. His face was red. Obviously he had planned so much just to spend some hours with his wife. He had planned to bring life to his almost dead relationship. And with interruptions in form of Sarah and Raj, he was losing hope. He took deep breaths, controlling his seething rage.

" What a pleasant surprise, Raj?", he said, though Raj had known that his presence was definetly not pleasant. Raj was here to make things better for him. "Yes indeed! I thought I was going to spend my night alone when my date ditched me.", Raj lied.

Sherin being the sympathetic and generous human asked , "Why don't you join us?" " No ! You guys carry on.", Raj said but Sherin dragged him as expected. She is very adamant when it comes to sharing time with loved ones. She hates leaving them alone.

"Someone truly said, more than three could bring chaos" , Sorav whispered. Everyone remained still. "Did you say something?", Sherin asked. "Nothing darling", he said , holding her hands. Hours passed by when musicians  came. Sorav tried to stop them but they didn't  pay heed to his advice.

The musicians played her favourite romantic song. She was surprised as well as embarrassed. Sorav covered his face while Sarah smiled secretly. " Sorav, why don't you ask her for dance? Don't you remember your first dance at your wedding.", Raj asked. I am proud of my son's wittiness.

"No. It's Embarrasing! ", Sherin said. " Common ! Guys ! Don't be spoilsport!  Go and dance!", Raj said, pulling them to imaginary dance floor. The stares of customers at the resturant made them more nervous. They held hands but couldn't look into each other eyes.
