Hello guys! How are you all? Sorry for being late. So, here is the second chapter!

Chapter-02
~Roomies~

Station-

"Swara and Ragini, have you taken everything?" Shekhar asked.

"Yes Dad, I have taken everything, but I don't know about Ragini," Swara said with excitement clearly evident in her tone.

"Dad, don't worry. I have taken everything. Where is maa?" Ragini asked her father.

"She is talking to her employee over the phone," Shekhar said.

"She never has time for us," Swara said sadly.

"It's nothing like that," Shekhar tried to cheer up his daughter.

~The train blows horn~

"Bye. Take care. Call me once you reach," Shekhar said

"Bye dad," Swara and Raginih said in unison.

Though they were loved by their father, they carved for a mother's love. When a mother ignores her daughters, they spend their life trying to replace her in their heart!

"Finally Ragini we will live a life full of our dreams," Swara chirped in excitement.

"Yes!! Our tomorrow will be better than our today," Ragini said.

Airport-

"Papa! Take care of your health. Eat medicines daily. don't forget about it," Sanskar instructed his father.

"Bhai, don't worry, uncle and aunt are there to take care of papa," Laksh said.

"They will go back to their home after a few days," Sanskar said.

"I will be alone then. God is punishing me for my deeds," Durga Prasad said.

"Papa, You are not at fault," Laksh said.

"Because of me, your mother died," Durga Prasad looked down.

"She died because of cancer. What was your fault in it?" Sanskar said.

"If I would have given her some time and taken proper care of her, she would not have died," Durga Prasad said.

"Don't blame yourself. It was our fate," Sanskar said.

"Bhai let's go. This announcement is of our flight," Laksh said.

"Sanskar, beta take care of yourself and Laksh. Laksh is now your responsibility. Call me as you reach," Durga Prasad said.

"Bye papa," Sanskar and Laksh bid farewell to their father.

"Ragini, you please don't leave me alone in dad's sister's house," Swara said.

"I know you hate her but are we really going there?" Ragini asked her sister.

"Oh shit, I totally forgot about it. Let me search for a rented house on google," Swara took out her phone.

"We have promised dad to live in bua's house," Ragini said.

"Ragini, I cannot tolerate that lady for one minute and you are saying that I have to live there?" Swara said.

"But what will we say to dad? Ragini asked.

"We will say that since we are new to Mumbai and college our friend offered us accommodation in her hostel room as it will be helpful for our studies," Swara suggested.

" Okay, then," Ragini was was convinced.

"I got the number of a broker in Navi Mumbai. Let me text him." Swara said.

"Fine, but I am still skeptical about it," Ragini said.

"He asked us to come tomorrow morning," Swara said.

"We will go directly thereafter reaching Mumbai," Ragini said/

"Okay, I will text him that," Swara said.

"Now good night!!! I am feeling sleepy," Ragini said

"Good night," Swara said.

Ragini wakes up after some time and sees that Swara is still doing something with her phone.

"Swara, what are you still doing with your phone?" Ragini asked, rubbing her eyes.

"You woke up? Actually, I am chatting with Virat. He is worried for us. He wants to come to Mumbai soon," Swara said.

"Shit yaar, he will also come here? Why? I hate to see him. I just don't get it why do you love him so much," Ragini said.

"Yaar. we are not in a serious relationship. I don't love him! Haan he is too hot. I have a crush on him," Swara said.

"It's better you get out of this matter soon," Ragini said.

"And you get out of your past," Swara said.

"I cannot forget my past. It's like a splinter stuck in my heart forever," Ragini said.

After 20 hours, Swara and Ragini reached Mumbai. They took a deep breath as they stepped on its soil. They booked a cab.

"Bhaiya, We want to go to Galaxy apartment in Navi Mumbai," Swara told a cab driver.

The cab driver looked at them.

"It will cost 400 ruppes," the cab driver said.

"What? So much?" Ragini said.

"Do you think we are fools? Wait let me call my brother. He is in the media," Swara threatened the driver.

Swara took out her phone and dialed one number.

"Wait, you want to go to Navi Mumbai right? Sorry I thought Bandra. It will cost 200," the driver was shivering in fear.

"Fine," Swara said.

"Get in," the driver said to them.

"What do you mean by get in? Who will pick our luggage?" Swara raised her tone.

"Okay, I am keeping," the driver said.

"Don't even think to take us in the wrong way. I have kept the google map open," Swara said.

"Yes, madam," the driver said.

"Swara, what is this?" Ragini asked.

"If you try to act weak in front of these types of men, they will dominate you," Swara said.

"You are the best," Ragini said.

"Yes, I know that I am the best," Swara showed her teeth.

They reached Galaxy apartment and Swara called Mr. Verma, their broker who said that he was standing downstairs waiting for them.

"Swara, I think that man with a phone is Mr. Verma," Ragini said.

"Come, let's go to him," Swara dragged her sister who was taking out the suitcase.

"Are you Mr. Verma?Swara asked the person.

"Yes. You?" Mr. Verma asked.

"I am Swara Gadodia, I am the one who called you now. Remember?" Swara said.

"Ohh!! Yesss!! Come I will show you the flat," Mr. Verma said.

As they were going, Swara's phone rang.

"Who is calling you?" Ragini asked.

"Virat.Ragini, you go I am coming in a few minutes," Swara told her sister.

"Third floor flat no.163," Mr. Verma told Swara.

Mr. Verma and Ragini go into the flat.

"You keep your suitcase here, there is my man inside. He will take it," Mr.Verma said.

As they stepped inside, Ragini saw a man standing. Ragini assumed him as the porter.

"Excuse me, there is my luggage outside. Go and bring it." Ragini ordered the person.

The man turns and he is Laksh. He looks at Ragini who too is looking at him. They share an eye lock.

Aankhon hi aankhon ne

pehle kuch din baatein ki

Baaton hi baaton ne phir

kuch din mulaqatein ki

Yun hi chalti rahe baatein

Yun hi chalta rahe silsila

Karun dua, yahi dua

Tere liye, dhadke jiya

"Are you asking me?" Laksh said.

"Yes!! Is someone else here?" Ragini replied.

"Madam he..," Mr.Verma was interrupted by Ragini.

"I said go and bring," Ragini ordered.

Laksh goes to bring the suitcase.

"Madam he is ....", Mr. Verma's words were incomplete.

"What type of lazy employee you have!! Disgusting," Ragini said.

"Employee? I? I am not anyone's employee," Laksh clarified.

"What?" Ragini asked.

"That's what I was trying to say to you but you were not listening to me," Mr. Verma said.

" I am so sorry," Ragini apologized.

"No problem. I don't mind helping beautiful girls," Laksh winked.

***********

"Yes Virat, I have reached without any problem," Swara said, picking up the call.

"Okay great. Even though I am coming the day after yesterday," the person on call said.

"Why are you coming?" Swara asked.

"Do you have any problem with that?" the person in the line said.

"No!! You can come. Okay bye! Ragini is alone upstairs. I have to go now. I will call you at night. Byee," Swara said.

Swara disconnects the call and while she turns, she bumps into someone and is about to fall when she feels a tight grip on her waist. The fear of falling down made her close her eyes. She with closed eyes was holding that someone's collar tightly. She opens her eyes and sees a man. He is Sanskar.. They share an eye lock.

Khusboo banke hawa mein

Mehke meri fiza mein

Tu hi mere jeene ki wajah

Tu hi meri har dua mein

Yun hi chalti rahe baatein

Yun hi chalta rahe silsila

Karun dua, yahi dua

Tere liye, dhadke jiya

"I am sorry," Sanskar apologized.

"I know you cheap boys very well. Now get out of my way," Swara pushed Sanskar.

"I helped you and you are scolding me. You are such a strange person", Sanskar said.

Swara walks to the flat as directed by Mr. Verma. So does Sanskar. They reach the entrance of the house.

"Why the hell are you following me?

"I am not following you," Sanskar replied.

"Bro, Thank God you came." Laksh sighed in relief.

"Ragini, who are these boys?" Swara asked.

"Let me tell you guys everything. I have called both parties at the same time. The rent of this house starts from Rs.10,000/-. whoever pays the more rent, the house belongs to them," Mr. Verma kept his bargain of the deal.

"What the hell? I will lodge a complaint against you," Swara was angry and her anger was clearly visible in her tone.

"Swara! Don't shout," Ragini said.

"Excuse me Swara and..?" Sanskar asked.

"Ragini," Laksh said with a grin.

"How do you know our names? Are you stalkers?" Swara asked raising her eyebrows

"Girls are so foolish...!! Just now you both addressed each other by manes," Laksh jokes.

"Listen to what I am saying​. We can share this flat. We can pay 5,000 each. We will be in profit." Sanskar said.

"Sharing a flat with boys? No ways, Swara." Ragini yelled.

"Ragini, we don't have enough cash! If we will say the house rent is 10,00, dad will force us to stay in that chipkku bhuddhi's house. Ragini, I beg you please agree," Swara begged.

"Even you are right also. Fine, I am okay with it," Ragini said.

"Mr. Verma, we will share this flat," Sanskar said with a smile on his face.

"We will pay you 10,000/-. And if you will show any tantrums, you will go to jail, " Swara said.

"Yes! We four will lodge a complaint against you," Laksh said

"I don't have any problem. You can shift your luggage now," Mr. Verma said.

"This room is ours and that room is yours. Neither we both will enter your room and nor you will enter our room," Swara said.

Karun duaa... Yahi dua...

Tere liye.. dhadke jiya....
