We all looked at her. 

R " I am really grateful that u guys allowed me to be one in ur group and also took care of me. But even my duty calls me. "

She chuckled. 

R " I have to join to work "

U "  Ragini, u can stay here only and go to ur job. "

Raj " ha Ragini, why r u staying alone at ur place? U can stay here only"

R " I.... I don't know what to tell... I"

Uttara showed puppy eyes to her.

L " Guys, even we have to respect her decision"

Ragini mouthed me thanks.

U " but bhai "

L " ssh... Ragini, I will leave u to ur place in the evening. But let me tell u, we all are there for u.So, u are always welcome "

She smiled and went to room with Uttara to spend some time with her.

Raj " bro, what did u do? "

I raised my eyebrows.

Raj " we would have made her stay here, why did u interfere?"

L " even she will be having hesitation to stay at someone else place. We have to understand"

He side hugged me.

Raj " for the first time in my life I saw u staring at some girl, what's going on?"

He chuckled and continued.

Raj " and I am totally with u, Ragini is a perfect match for u "

L " to be frank I don't know what's happening to me. When she smiles, even I smile in return. Small gestures of her is making me happy "

Raj " I can understand "

I hit him on his shoulder.

L " tell me who is that mystery girl? I left u while playing truth and dare but not now, from how long are u seeing her? "

He gulped.

Raj " Lakshya trust me, even I don't understand what's happening to me is love or just like. So give me a time. U will be the first person I will inform,if I am in love "

I nodded slowly.

Raj " once again congrats buddy for getting a big tender "

I smiled.

L " but still it's a huge responsibility. I have done a meeting and asked all the employees to work little harder this time and I will be giving them holidays after this project completion. "

It's little difficult, but not impossible.

I heard Ragini's giggles which made me smile.

Raj smiled at me and whispered.

Raj " u r falling in love "

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

I am nervous would be an understatement!

Even when he was a complete stranger I was comfortable in our first meet.

But now sitting alone in his car while he is driving is making me nervous.

L " y r u feeling tensed? "

R " No... I am fine only. "

He just nodded.

L " is ur flat near to work area? "

R " yeah... It's just ten minutes walk "

He again nodded while I stared at him.

L " I have already told u but again I am telling-- "

I frowned.

L " ur stare can make anyone blush "

He caught me!

R " hmm I was not staring at u... and no one has told me this."

L " I don't know about anyone but u will surely make me blush "

Why is he so straight forward?

He dropped me till my flat.

R " come inside "

He smiled.

L " next time"

Next time?

We will meet next time also?

L " surely we will meet next time, y??u don't want to meet me? "

R " no, even I want to meet u.... I.. I mean meet u all "

He chuckled.

I saw him taking car u-turn.

What r u making me feel Lakshya?

I thought I will never like anyone but at this rate I am sure I will fall for u.

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

After a week....

I closed my eyes to take a small nap.

It was tiring today at the gallery.

My phone started to ring.

Uttara calling...

I smiled.

R " Hii Uttara "

But I heard a weeping sound.

U " Raginiii"

R " What happened?"

I was hearing Raj voice also from behind.

Both are fine, did something happened to Lakshya??

My heart started to beat faster.

U " Ragu, bhai.... He... "

God!

Y she is not finishing her words?

U " he is really not well. He... He was unconscious when we found him today morning. "

R " oh god! What has happened to him? Where r u guys now? "

U " we r at our mansion only, doctor has come here to check him. He is awake now but he is still feeling drowsy "

R " what did doctor say? "

U " he said he has not taken proper sleep and food"

I sighed.

U " Ragini... Can u please come here, I don't know what to do? Raj is also tensed. Though doctor said not to worry, we are really scared. I... "

R " don't worry, I will be there"

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

Uttara hugged me as soon as I entered the mansion.

I smiled at her but my eyes wanted to see if he is fine.

Raj " thank u so much Ragini, I was not knowing how to handle Uttara "

U " me?? It's u who was crying on my shoulders "

They both looked cute but I don't have time, I want to check on him.

She held my hand and dragged me towards his room.

He was looking so peaceful in his sleep.

I sat near his head and I was about to caress his hair while Uttara spoke bringing me back.

U " u know about that big tender which he got"

Yeah, we celebrated his success.

Raj " he is working really hard for that more than all the employees. "

U " not taking rest, not having food nor sleeping "

This is Lakshya.

U " I was so terrified when I saw him unconscious in the morning, I immediately called Raj here "

Ragini " did u feed him something after he awoke? "

U " he just had soup "

She was looking at Lakshya

Ragini "Raj and Uttara u both go and take rest, I will stay here only and later I will cook something for him"

U " it's fine Ragini, even we will stay here "

Raj " No uttara, u have not even blinked ur eyes from morning, go and take rest "

U " what about u? U have cried like a baby "

R " u both stop arguing who should take rest. As I told u guys, both of u are going and taking rest"

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

I slowly opened my eyes and blinked.

I shouldn't have stayed awake whole night. I gave tension to Uttu and Raj.

Room door got opened but I didn't expect----------- Ragini??

What is she doing here?

Am I dreaming?

She glared me.

R " what? "

She raised her eyebrows.

Excuse me! I should be the one asking her what is she doing here?

She kept a tray on table and sat next to me on the bed.

L " hmm... Hii?"

It came like a question.

She glared me again and hit me on the forehead.

What the!

L " how can u hit a sick person? "

I pouted.

R " and who is behind u being sick? "

She sighed.

R " why r u worrying this much Lakshya, it's a big tender we know that but it should not cost ur life "

L " I know I shouldn't have worked like that but in this limited time it's my responsibility to complete that."

R " u should take care of urself Lakshya. See, u made Uttara and Raj tensed. When Uttara called me she was about to cry."

L " what about u? Were u also tensed? "

I so badly waited for her to answer. That day when I left her to her flat, I felt even she feels this attraction which I feel towards her.

R " I... I care for u "

L " y? "

I held her hand in mine.

She looked at our hands.

R " because, u.... U saved my life that day so I..."

I chuckled.

L " we both know what's the reason right?"

She was looking all red. I want to pinch those cheeks.

R " if u know then why r u asking? "

Before I could reply my two monkeys barged inside.

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

They were all talking but my mind was running around our conversation.

I don't know why I will behave with him like that. He makes me feel things which I never felt.

It's just a week that I have met him but I can see the way he looks at me with love and care. But I want to confirm first and above that, am I ready to give myself a second chance?

Raj " Ragini what is there in this tray? "

R " I have prepared food for him"

Lakshya stared at me.

L " hope it is not like the one which Uttara made "

He made yuck face while she glared him.

U " bhaiiii "

They started to argue but I was feeling slightly happy to be here. To be with them.

At one point of my life I thought I won't be able to make friends nor family.

But here I am welcomed as family member.

In between their fight, Lakshya's eyes locked with mine.
