Hi all,

I am back after so long, I will try finishing this soon✌

I have a good news to share.

I participated in The Sapphire Awards and Telescope Telly Awards, for this book and for both this book is the  second runner up💃💃.

Here you go:

Thoughts in italics.

********

(Ragini at Laksh's house.  At his room.)

Both Raglak stared at each other with a longing in their eyes.  Once they realise what they were feeling, both composed. 

Lak: H, hi Ragini,  you here? 

Rag: Well I was not feeling like studying alone,  and since the other three are together,  I came to you.

Laksh nodded. 

Thank God I decided not to confess my feelings for Ragini.  After his confession,  Sanskar and Ragini never faced each other.  And today,  she had me as an option, but  she would have been completely alone,  if I too  confessed.
Laksh thought in his mind. 

They started to study.  Neither made a sound. Both were happy that the other was with them. The silence meant a lot to both.  Because it was kinda promising them that the other was there with them. 

Noon:

Both had lunch with Ap.  Laksh was completely focusing on his food.  Ragini saw Ap looking at him longingly.  She sighed. 

I wish I could bring back the old you Laksh.  Neither are you happy with this current,  nor your family is. 
Ragini thought in mind.  She thought of something. 

Rag: Laksh,  shall we study in garden now? 

Lak: are you insane?  It's so hot!! 

Rag: it's not hot,  it's bright,  there is a difference and the garden looks so welcoming.  Come na please. 

Lak: if you want you go and sit under your 'bright sun'.  I am happy with my room.

Rag: idiot, you are sounding as if I don't have garden at my house.  I came here so I can have a 'combined' study with you.  And you!  Aunty,  see this guy,  ask him to accompany me. 

Lak: Ra,

He was cut by Ap.

Ap: Laksh she is right, she is here to study with you.  Go out and study beta.

Lak: Ma you too!  (Sighs)  fine. 

After lunch,  they took out their books and settled under a tree.  It was very hot.  Laksh was visibly annoyed,  but controlled him.

Aargh,  I hate you sun.  Why are you unbearably hot . Damn you.  Ragini,  chill,  you have to implement this plan.  This is just sun and his rays.  You can handle them. See Laksh,  what all I am bearing for my love for you. 
She then looked at Laksh and saw how he was frowning due to sunrays. 

Now that you are bearing it along with me, this can't be counted as a proof of my love to you.  Get inside you idiot.  Oops,  how will I irritate him if he goes inside.  You becomes you only when you are irritated.  And I want you to be you,  atleast for some time. 
Ragini smiles at her thought.

Laksh was trying hard to concentrate,  but sun was not letting him. 

An hour passed. 

Enough of your studying Laksh.
Ragini smirked. 

She then plucked grass and throw it to her left.  Laksh was sitting on her right. Then another grass to her front.  And now she plucked up a bigger one.  She beamed seeing the amount of mud in it and casually threw it on Laksh. 

Laksh was shocked as it was sudden and then he found that his t shirt was stained with mud. 

Lak: What the hell Ragini!!! 

Rag: Oops,  sorry sorry sorry,  that was by mistake.  I was getting bored so plucked grass and was throwing it in random directions.  This one came to you by accident.

She said all these with at most innocence in her face.  Laksh fumed seeing her.

Lak: And you expect me to believe you? 

Rag: You must,  look at my innocent face,  so you feel like I can lie. 

Lak: of course not,  how can you possibly lie?  Have fun with your grasses,  I am leaving.

He got up. 

Rag: You can't go inside,  aunty told you to be in garden with me.

Lak: I know that and she is busy inside so won't exactly know if I am sitting with you.  Even if you tell later all she can do is to scold me.  Still I will be free of your torture for now! 

Ragini fumes.

Rag: You,  you dare say that I torture you!  I am telling aunty right now! 

She started walking.

Lak: Go ahead. And prove that you are such a cru baby,  who keeps on complaining,  Mumma he beats me,  mumma he is annoying me and blah blah blah! 

Ragini stopped and turned back. 

Rag: you accused me of being a kid? 

Lak: Nope I just stated a fact! 

He shrugs. 

You called me a kid,  now see what a kid does.
Ragini fumes.

Laksh without minding her walked towards another shade.  Ragini ran past him and occupied the place.

Laksh sighed,  he turned around and walked to their earlier place,  only to be beaten by Ragini again,  since she ran again. 

Laksh sighed deeply and headed to another direction,  with Ragini doing the same. 

Lak: what is your actual problem. Sit wherever you want to and please let me study. 

Rag: who stopped you from studying.  I told you that was an accident.  But you

Lak: fine then stay here,  I will go to another place.

But she repeated the same thing.  She sat down,  but suddenly started to scream. 

Drama queen.  Laksh moved to her. 

Lak: now what? 

Rag: Aargh,  Mummy,  my tummy is paining.  Wow that was rhyming.  But my tummy,  Mummy!!!

Lak: what else were you expecting after running like a monkey through out the garden soon after lunch.  Of course you disturbed the digestion process. 

Rag: Laksh,  you can teach me biology later on.  For now help me.  My tummy!!! 

Lak: fine, try to get up.

Rag: My tummy wont let me. Mummy this is killing me. Aaarghh.

Laksh sighs and picks her up in bridal style. He then made her lay on his bed.

Lak: I will be back with water bag,  hold on.  And its not good to take medicine for this kind of pain.

He left.

Ragini kept her hand over her stomach. 

Rag: Sorry honey,  I was so involved in that idiot that I forgot you.  Aargh,  Huh,  why should I tell sorry to you,  when you are troubling me with this pain.

She fumed.  Laksh was back by then. He handed her the water bag and she lied over it. 

Lak: Take rest.  I will get our books and will study from here. 

He left.

Rag: eeeee,  Laksh took me in.  Damn you pain,  because of you,  I couldn't enjoy being in his arms. 

She pouts. 

The rest of the day went uneventful.
