---------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Laksh reaches his house he goes to his room and falls on the bed all tired. Maybe Ragini was drunk but he too didnt drink less. He was very low and his mind was too not working. Without changing his clothes he dozed off. This was the reason why he didnt react to Ragini's hints.

Next morning,

In Kapoor house,

Ragini woke up smiling widely but soon it vanishes as soon as she remembers what she did last night.
As it was a strong beer which made her drunk...so she clearly remembered
of what she did last night.

"No...no..no...I didnt tell him that I like him. Noooo!! Shit!! Now he will think that I am creepppyyy....oh nooo!! God please dont make him understand the hints I gave to him. Please!"
She stresses.

She panics and immediately gets off the bed and being tensed for the night she starts moving here and there biting her nails.

"Please God...Don't make him get the hints I gave him yesterday. Pleaasseee!! How could I just blurt out!! He'll think of me as a creep now!!"
She was saying out the same lines again and again in constant worry.

It seemed that God wasn't in her favour. And this is what happened..

Back to Laksh's house,

After a pleasant dream, Laksh wakes up all smiling. He rubs his eyes for a moment and stays at rest for a while.
He looks at the chirping couple of birds on the tree through his window and smiles more seeing them.

And suddenly something strikes him. Faint sounds ring in his mind.

"Ohhoooo!! My project partner re!! He ijj shooooooo handpump!!"

"Pandit Lakshman Lal Nehru!!!"

"Are you maaaaadddddddddd!!!! He is just of my age...Young and shooooo ransom!!"

"My Lakshmi Prasad.....Haaayeeee!"

"Jai Jai Lakshraj Chauhan!! Jai Jai Lakshraj Chauhan...!! "

He holds his head and then somewhere he starts getting clear voices and the scene clearly comes in front of him.

His eyes widen.

"This is impossible!!!! No no no no! I can't believe this. The very own Ms. Kapoor has a crush on me? Me???? she crushes on me!! ? OMG! This is amazing! And I thought that she considered me just a friend only. Hufff! This feeling is amazing when your crush crushes upon you itself! Even having a second doubt of her not liking me is pure stupidity. She is fully into me ! Wohhoo! Can't wait to leave for office! "
He exclaims and gets up from the bed to get ready. He wanted to look the best.

Here, it was the beginning of Ragini's and Laksh relation while somewhere it was already destined to end even before the start.

With Srishti,

She became obsessed with Laksh. Everything around her was of his and his choice.

"Why is he soo charming? Everytime I see him, I fall for him more!! Though you are my bestie Ragini but this really sucks me when you are near him. Always!!!! Always I come to you, you are with him, this is not good for me..."
She says to herself.

At Office,

Ragini kept hiding herself from Laksh all the while. And was with Srishti all day long.

This made Srishti releived of the fact that something's going between Ragini and Laksh. She relaxed.

Whereas Laksh wanted to talk to Ragini but something or the other happened and he wasn't able to.

This way a month passed,
Ragini was on her mission to avoid embarrassment but she knew that she was head over heels in love with the man she is avoiding. This had started making her feeling hurt.

Whereas Laksh was frustrated as hell!
The ignorance of them towards each other made them fall in love with each other as how much they missed each Other's presence. While, this farness between them made their respective office best friends to come close to their love interests.

That is,
Kartik was all behind Ragini like a love sick puppy and Srishti was mad for Laksh.

Ragini was always irked of Srishti drooling over Laksh but she never said anything. Sometimes, she felt a sudden urge to punch her hard but instead she simply left the table.

Here,
Laksh used to burn in anger or jealousy seeing Ragini talking to other male staff but ignoring him. He was soooo mad at that and thus decided to make it clear down by hook or crook.

One day,

It was raining. As it was the evening time, all were heading towards home. Ragini too went towards her car when someone came from behind, closed her mouth and lifted her up.

"Hmmmmmhhhahah....hMmmmm!! "
Her sound was muffling due to her mouth closed by a hand.

She started kicking her legs and hands in air to escape which hit the person who shouted.

"Ouuucchhhh!!! "

She was familiar to the voice and her eyes widened. Instead of getting shocked, she now was frowning and calmed down.

After reaching to another familiar car, the person puts her down and the moment it happens she turns towards him in order to hit but he immediately holds her and pulls her to himself ....

"Am well aware of you!! "
He says scrutinising his eyes at her.
"What the hell are you doing Laksh? "
She asks angrily.

"Look I am very very very angry right now!!!! So chup chaap come!!! Sit in the car!! "
He says warning her.

"I am not ----"
She was about to retort.

"Raginiiiiii!! "
He straightly says.

"Okay Fineeee!!! "
She rolls her eyes and sits in the car.
He too drives fuming and there was a pindrop silence in between them.

Ragini who wasnt able to digest this silence speaks up!!

"Why are you so angry!!?"
She asks frowning but inreturn gets a glare from him.
She silences.

Soon they reach the hillside. It was raining heavily.
/The place where they in present reunited./

"Why are we here?"
She asks him confused.

"Get down!!"
He says straightly.

"But its raining !!!"
She frowns.

"So??? Take the umbrella.. "
He questions.

"Arrrggghhhh!!!"
She frowns and gets down the car.
He too comes down. Both were under one umbrella in the rain.

He took her to the nearby stall where a man was frying pakoras and was making tea.

"Bhaiya 1 plate of pakoras and 2 cup cutting chai! A lil fast."
Laksh says. Ragini confusingly smiles at him and they both sit on a bench.

"You took me here to eat pakoras?"
Ragini asks chuckling.

"Well kind of! You know what, just like the campus area is your special place, this hillside is my special place. I had always come alone here. Whenever I  feel angry or I am very happy...I come here! But I need a Life companion, someone special with whom I can come to this special place!"
He says smiling.

"Sounds Interesting!!! So whats the reason of you visiting here today?"
Ragini says.

"Hmmm...The reasons are both of them!"
He says frowning.

"What do you mean?"
She asks confused.

"That I am angry and am happy as well."
He says.

"Why?"
Ragini asks timidly.

"I am very much angry on you for ignoring me like a peice of shit!!"
He says frowning again.

"Well, It was needed. I thought you are well aware of what happened that night after party. But seems that you forgot it. So sorry! I just did that to avoid embarrassment."
She says biting her tongue cutely and giggling.

Laksh shakes his head in disbelief.

"So why are you happy!!"
Ragini asks.

"Because My search for a Life Companion has ended. I have found my special one!"
Laksh says smiling looking contentfully at her.

Both share a breif eyelock.

"Who is she?"
Ragini asks after breaking it a lil dissapointed.

"The one sitting next to me!!"
He says his gaze still fixed on her.

Ragini's heart skips a beat. She smiles at him.
But then,

"So is this a proposal?"
She asks chuckling.

"Uhmm..yeah kind of?"
He says too chuckling lightly.

"What if she rejects you?"
She says teasing him.

"She will not."
He says laughing.

"And how are you so sure?"
She asks raising her eyebrows.

"Because I know what happened that night. Hahahaha!"
He says bursting into fits of laughter.

Ragini goes down! Her face expressions were dumbfounded. Her chweks started turning.red.

Looking at her, Laksh laughed more.

He pinches her cheeks and says...

"My Lakshmi Prasad is soooo Ransom...wait no Handpump!! Haha!"
He teases her.

She gets embarrassed.

"Stop it!"
She says lowly.

"Pandit Lakshmi Lal Nehru! Hhaaa!
He keeps teasing her.

She gets angry and gets up leaving from there...

"I dont want to talk to you! I hate you!"

He chuckles and holds her wrist. She turns to him.

"I love you !"
He says so charmfully..that she couldnt stop breaking into a smile.

He stands and turns her completely towards him. She looks at him contentfully. He comes near her cheek and kisses.

"I love you too!"
She says as soon as he comes back and then suddenly hugs him...

He chuckles seeing her blushing and hugs her tightly too...

They both break the hug and merge their foreheads in the rain getting drenched but not caring about it.

Flashback Pauses....

Ragini was sitting in her bedroom seeing the pic they took when they first confessed bout their love.

She was smiling.

"The same happiness I am feeling after a whole of 5 years!! Now when I have got you back, I dont need anything!!"
She says carressing the pic.

And she sleeps...with the pic in her hand.

And then Parth comes inside the room who was glancing at her secretly from the window.

"Since that meet at the party, I have got my sister back!! The one who was always happy. I have seen you sad many times di! I have seen you crying...And seeing you like this wasnt easy for me! I used to cry when you were in pain. But never came to you, because I already knew that you will never tell me!"
He says wiping the lone tear which escapes his eyes.

He comes near her and carresses her hairs.

"I love you di...You have always been there for me. It never mattered to you that you were in pain when you wanted to make me happy!! I want to be the same for you!"
He says.

And then he notices that pic. He pics that up and looks at it. His eyes widen in some realization.

"Isnt he the brother of Neeti? Her pic with di!?? It doesnt look like of recent!! "

And then he starts realizing everything by connecting the dots.

Act like my spouse. ---- To show I have moved on.

This pic. -------- They were in relation.

Behave professionally with each other. --------- Not together anymore. A breakup.

A breakup. ------  A miunderstanding or a betrayal.

Cant be a betrayal. -------- Because both are hurt. Hence a misunderstanding.

She is happy again. --------- Both have cleared their misunderstandings and are back together.

This way he got a whole picture in his head. He knew what he had to do and he called Neeti up.

"Hey Love!"
She says.

"Baby, come out of your house. I am reaching in an hour. I want to talk something important."
He says.

"It can be done later na. I am sleeping."
She says yawning.

"No, its about our siblings!! I am coming."
He says and cuts the call.

Screen freezes.
