Hello all,

Thanks for your support,
Here you go:

*************

Next day:

Laksh again woke up with a nightmare. This time he was more tensed.  With passing days,  it keeps on affecting him more. 

Time is a funny thing,  sometimes, time heals your wounds,  but sometimes,  instead of healing it deepens your wound and that was happening with Laksh.

But he is trying to gain himself back.  He doesn't want his family to go through more pain than he is giving them now.  

Laksh remembered how happy they were while seeing him riding his bike. He put them in such a worst situation.  This nightmare and his past is his bloody problem. He won't let anyone know it.  He is gonna cover everything. 

With that thought he got ready. And started college on the bike. Making his family happy. Finally, their Laksh is coming out of his misery.

*********

College:

Mauhaan has already reached and they were waiting for others. Mauli was debating in her mind.  Whom should she talk first? Sanskar or Ragini,  she was getting worried for them. She was sure that Sanskar is in love,  but she doesn't know about Ragini.  With both being her friends and being in love herself,  all she could wish were things to be fine.  That was when she remembered she didn't tell Ishaan about this. She was about to tell him when Sanskar came. She was kinda disappointed and then they talked randomly.

Ragini came in soon and now they were waiting for Laksh.  They didn't find him by bus and others were confused,  but Sanskar became happy. 

He had an idea why he is not on the bus and if it's true,  then he is the happiest today. And as he expected Laksh came in the bike.  All were happy and Sanskar went and hugged him when he got out. 

Laksh was startled,  he felt peace when Sanskar hugged him, all through the way,  he wasn't feeling so good about riding,  the past was haunting him and Sanskar's hug was that rain in desert.!!

He was glad and he hugged him back. Sanskar could feel the hidden emotions and he was happy. 

Ish: wow, dude,  you got a style while in the bike.

He winked.  Laksh just smiled.

Mauli patted his shoulder,  he looked at her weirdly.

Laksh: silly,!!

He patted her back on the head.

Ragini was about to say something to him, but Laksh interfered by saying they were getting late.

Ragini even though felt odd,  didn't mind it. 

************

Class:

Everyone was listening to class expect Ragini. She wasn't feeling good. She looked sideways and dodged Sanskar. 

Sanskar looked at her suspiciously and she smiled at him innocently.  He sighed and then started playing written games.  Ragini unknowingly was glancing Laksh,  but Laksh had his full concentration for the class.

Lunchtime:

They all started to leave when Laksh called for Mauli.  He asked her doubt and she is the topper,  stood back to help him. 

Laksh wasn't having any doubt, just that he wanted to avoid having lunch with Ragini. 

By the time Laksh and Mauli reached canteen, others were done. So they sat down to have food and had a nice little chat. 

The day went so.  He repeated the same for the next two consecutive days.  Mostly avoided sitting with the group and was spending time with Mauli.  If they are together,  then he would talk to others ignoring Ragini.

Ragini was getting affected by this badly.  She tried calling him while at home,  and he didn't pick her calls. And during college, he made sure that she doesn't get a chance to talk to her.

Ragini was fed up.  She decided that she would talk to him the next day and will get to know what his trouble is.

**********

Next day:

Ragini was determined to talk to Laksh and was waiting for him. But he came so late that he directly attended the second lecture. 

Laksh glanced at Ragini and found her glaring him.  He sighed mentally.  He was expecting this,  he knew she would be waiting to confront him,  which is why he came late.

Ragini wanted to kill Laksh then and there. 

Lunch:

Laksh left for lunch along with Ishaan.  Ragini,  without any option, followed them with others.

After lunch just as she wanted to confront Laksh,  Mauli called her.

Mauli: (whisper)  I want to talk to you alone,  it's urgent.

Mauli was looking kinda tensed and Ragini got worried.  She forgot everything else and went with her.

Mauli: Ragini,  it has a long while too and Sanskar is now acting like a couple.  Do you somewhere feel anything for him?

Ragini was shocked.

Rag: what nonsense!!!!

Mauli was still looking at her tensed. Ragini sighed.

Rag: Nope, we are just dating, we are not serious. And you know,  we don't want others to hit on us, that's why this relationship.

Mauli: what if you fall for him in real?

Rag: Shut up!
She leaves.

But the thought got onto her head.

For the rest of the day, it was going through her mind.

Rag PoV

Will it happen so?? Will I fall for him?? But even if I did, he won't because I am not his type! Should I end this relationship here??

***********

Next day,

All the four of them were waiting for Ragini,  she didn't reach even after her usual time and she always comes before the class start.

Ishaan called her.

Ishaan: Rags,  why are

Rag: Ishaan I am not in a mood to speak.

Ishaan: What happened

Rag: (angrily)  didn't you hear what I said.  Just get lost!!

She disconnected the call.

Others were shocked. She sounded ao pissed off. They headed to her home.

Just as Ishaan got on to his bike he received a message from Ragini.

"I am sorry 😔".
