“So tell me what’s the gift you said you will give me once we return from the vacation?” Ragini asked as she sat beside Ashish, Ruhaan’s father as soon as she entered Ruhaan’s house.

Ashish smiled. He signed Ruhaan for which he nodded and moved towards them. Ashish took Ruhaan’s hand and puts in Ragini’s hand.

“He is all yours!” Ashish says.

Ragini’s eyes widen in surprise. She immediately jumps and hugs Ruhaan tight.

“Ru… I Love You… I Love You… I Love You… I Love You!” She shouts happily.

Ruhaan chuckles.

“Doll! Doll! Listen!” He stops her.

She breaks the hug and looks at him.

“You will not tell Mishti until I understand she has feelings for me or not!” Ruhaan says cupping her face.

Ragini pouts.

“But I want you as my jiju as soon as possible.” She says.

“Promise!” He promises her.

Ragini grins happily. She looks at Ashish and Supriya and runs towards them. She immediately hugs both of them happily.

“I Love You both so muchhhhh!” she shouts happily.

They both smile and caress her hair lovingly. She breaks the hug.

“Atleast can I say to mumma papa? Pleaseeee!” she pleads making a cute face.

“They already know. Your Ru told all four of us together and they are happy the way we all are.” Ashish said.

Ragini pouts.

“You didn’t let me tell anybody Ru!” She pouted sitting on the couch again.

All chuckle and settle on the couch.

“Sorry for that Doll.” Ruhaan says sitting beside her and holding his ears cutely.

Ragini giggles and hugs him. He hugs her back smiling and caresses her hair.

“Well you have another gift so that you don’t need to lie to your Mish once you reach home.” Ruhaan says and forwards a gift to her.

She immediately snatches it with shining eyes and opens it. Her eyes shine even more as she saw a small photo frame of Mishti’s and hers which contain a photo which they took in the vacation they went in their holidays. She kissed it fondly and hugged it to her chest smiling.

“This is the best gift! Thank You Ru!” she says and hugs him again.

“Is this some fiftieth photo of Mishti and yours which you are going to put in your room Ragu?” Supriya asked.

Ragini pouts.

“Yeah! And all those photos are THE BEST! Isn’t Doll?” Ruhaan asked.

“You all are jealous that you don’t have the best sister like mine. Huh!” she huffed twisting her lips.

Three of them chuckled.

“Chalo go freshen up.” Supriya said.

“Ru mumma made something yummy. Chalo let’s finish it off.” Saying she pulled Ruhaan along with her while Supriya and Ashish smiled happily seeing them.

“Never thought someone who has been grown in front of our eyes will become our bahu!” Supriya says putting her head on Ashish’s shoulder.

“I never did either!” he replied smiling happily.

“Sanskar where are you going?” Asked Durga Prasad Maheshwari when he saw Sanskar going out when it’s dinner time.

“You don’t need to fake your concern Mr. Maheshwari.” He goes from there ignoring Dp’s question.

Dp sighed. Sanskar got into the car and drove off. He stopped the car after driving for few kilometres and got down. He just kept walking looking around silently when he heard few giggles. He turned and found her along with her sister and her friend. He kept looking at her.

“That’s mine Mish!” She snatched the cone of ice cream from her sister.

“That’s last one!” Both MisHaan spoke at a time and looked at each other.

Ragini looked at both of them having her ice cream and smiled. She slowly moved back and let them enjoy their eye lock. She sat a bit away from both of them and kept having her ice cream happily grinning and smearing all the ice cream to her face. Sanskar just kept staring her with null expression. There is a dog barking sound making MisHaan come out of their eye lock and Ragini jump at her place.

She looked no where but straight away ran towards MisHaan. Both of them held her hand immediately.

“Doll we are here. It will not come to you!” Mishti says to Ragini side hugging her.

Ragini nods. Ruhaan shakes his head looking at her. He takes his hand kerchief from his pocket and passes to Mishti. She nods and cleans Ragini’s face.

“You are a kid!” Ruhaan shakes his head ruffling her hair.

She giggles. Mishti smiles.

“Let’s go back. It’s already very late.” Ruhaan says.

RagMish nod and they go near to the car which is a bit distant from them. Sanskar moved from there again silently with same null expression just being in deep thoughts.

“Good night Ru!” Ragini wished him good night and ran inside.

Mishti smiled at him and about to go but Ruhaan held her hand. She looked at their hands and smiled. She then looked at him.

“Stay for few minutes please!” He said.

She nodded smiling and stood beside him. He smiled and kept staring her.

“Ru is something wrong?” she asked confused.

He looked away and shook his head.

“Pakka?” she asked again.

“Yeah! Umm… You must be tired and Doll must be waiting for you. Good night!” he said.

“Good night!” she said to him smiling and started going.

Ruhaan sighed looking the way she went.

“I am scared Mish! I am scared that I might lose you!” He whispered to himself and turned back to go to his house.

*****

“If that idiot disturbs you tell me. I will look after him!” Mishti says gritting her teeth.

“My bodyguard I will! You calm down!” Ragini said hugging Mishti.

Mishti smiles hugging her back.

“Now shall we go? My Ru must be waiting for us.” Ragini asked.

Mishti smiled and nodded. They reached out of the house to see Ruhaan waiting for them near the car. Ragini ran near to the car and sat opening the back seat unlike everytime who sits beside Ruhaan on the front passenger seat. Mishti looked surprised while Ruhaan controlled his smile. Ruhaan drove off once they got settled.

“Doll today ask someone for the help regarding the classes you missed.” Ruhaan spoke as he is driving.

Ragini pouted looking at him.

“Doll no compromise. You have to ask.” He told as he saw her pout through the mirror.

She nodded gulping.

“Ru when will you tell to Mish?” Ragini asked when Ruhaan and she are walking in front and Mishti walking behind them using her phone.

Ruhaan stopped walking and looked at Ragini because of which Mishti hits his back as she is walking indulged in phone.

“Whoa! What’s wrong? Why did you both stop?” Mishti asked.

“We are just checking how indulged you are in your phone.” Ragini said glaring Mishti.

Mishti smiled sheepishly showing all her teeth.

“I am not interested in any tooth paste advertisement!” Ragini said huffing.

MisHaan chuckled hearing her and Mishti hugged Ragini tight.

“I Love You My cutu Dollll!” Mishti pulled Ragini’s cheeks tight.

Ragini pouted rubbing her cheeks which are paining making Mishti kiss her both the cheeks. Ragini smiled shaking her head. Ruhaan smiled seeing them.

“Never ending Sister Romance. I am unable to see this. Please stop guys.” Ruhaan acted irritated of their love.

“Why do I smell something?” Ragini asked.

“What?” Mishti asked confused while Ruhaan glared Ragini.

Ragini giggled.

“Nothing Mish. Let’s go.” Ragini said showing her tongue to Ruhaan.

“You guys hiding something from me?” Mishti asked suddenly frowning.

“No! Not at all!” Ruhaan spoke immediately.

Mishti looked at Ragini still frowning. Ragini immediately shook her head as no making the cutest innocent face she can ever make. Mishti nodded convinced. Ruhaan sighed in relief while Ragini controlled her giggle this time.

Ruhaan took his phone and immediately texted Ragini with '😤'.

Ragini looked at the message and texted back '🤣'.

Ruhaan huffed and kept his phone in his pocket. They dropped Ragini near her class and left to their class. As they were moving they heard someone calling Ruhaan. Both of them stopped and looked at the source of sound.

“Hi Ruhaan. I am Anisha.” A girl forwarded her hand to Ruhaan.

He smiled and shook hand with her. Mishti frowned seeing the girl.

“Actually I had observed you yesterday whole day. You were very active during the lectures. I couldn’t understand few topics in Mr. Sharma’s class would you mind explaining them to me after the working hours today?” she spoke everything looking at Ruhaan dreamily.

Ruhaan felt weird but he brushed off his thoughts.

“Yeah! Sure! After classes in canteen!” he said.

She nodded grinning.

“I think I should leave now.” Ruhaan himself told holding Mishti’s hand and pulling her before Anisha say something.

“Who is that girl?” Mishti asked frowning.

Ruhaan stopped and looked at her.

“Should we go to doctor and get your eyes and ears check up?” he asked sarcastically.

Mishti got angry and left from there murmuring leaving him behind.

“When he is with me he will be all silent or he will talk only to doll. Don’t know what happened to him, the same is happening since few days. But today he spoke all good to that stupid girl but when I asked a simple question he couldn’t answer me directly. I am angry and I am not talking to him today whole day.” She murmured angrily as she sat at her place.

Ruhaan getting confused followed her silently as he saw her angry. He sat beside her and about to talk to her but she took her book and acted studying. He understood that she is very angry and thought to deal with her later.

On the other side Ragini entered her class and went to her place silently. Sanskar came and sat beside her like the previous day.

“Hello Miss. Glasses!” he wished her smiling.

She smiled lightly at him and looked into her book. Sanskar was about to speak when his friends pulled him.

“Sanskar you said you will take revenge from the Miss. Attitude. But you are just roaming around this Miss. Glasses. We thought you are using this Miss. Glasses to revenge that Miss. Attitude but you are staying silent and are trying to make friends with this Miss. Glasses.” His friend, Rahul spoke.

“First thing, You will not call her Miss. Glasses!” Sanskar said strictly.

They both looked at each other and nodded lightly seeing his angry face.

“Second thing, the fight is between Miss. Attitude and Me. Yes I know you are my friends and you want me win and all. But like the way I am doing the work with patience and planning you guys also be patient.” Sanskar said.

They both nodded again. He left from the place to his place. Rahul and Vihaan looked at each other.

“Did he just say that he is planning something?” Vihaan asked.

Rahul smirked and nodded. Vihaan smirked too.

“Miss. Glasses!” Sanskar called Ragini as he sat back on his bench while she is reading her book.

She looked at him adjusting her glasses. He was about to speak, once again it’s their professor who entered stopped him. He cursed his timing badly and concentrated on the lecture. Ragini also turned as soon as the lecturer entered the class. Soon the lecture got over. This time Sanskar didn’t try to talk to her as he knows he won’t get time for it. He sat patiently waiting for the next lecturer. That’s when one of the staff entered and told them that the lecturer is absent and the class got cancelled till the next lecture.

Ragini felt irritated of the thing that lecturer is absent as she has to stay alone without MisHaan and she is not comfortable with new people or in making new friends. She then remembered about the classes she missed. She suddenly turned towards Sanskar who is keenly observing her expressions which were changing when she was thinking previously. He felt her adorable.

“San…Sanskar!” she called his name with low voice.

He smiled hearing his name and nodded.

“Ac…Actually would you….mind…help…helping me…reg…regarding the…classes…of…last…week?” she stammered a lot in one sentence in tension.

She looked at him blinking her eyes and biting her lower lip in tension. Sanskar’s face didn’t leave the smile and he nodded. He immediately took two books and passed it to her.

“There were only two lectures everyday last week since admissions were extended. You may ask me if you need help in understanding them.” He said smiling.

Ragini smiled brightly.

“Thank You!” She said happily and about to take the books but Sanskar held them.

“On One condition!” he said.

Ragini’s smile disappeared.

“What?” She asked nervously.

“Friends?” He asked forwarding his hand to her.

Ragini looked at his hand and started playing with her fingers in tension.

“Hey! It’s okay if you aren’t comfortable!” he said smiling taking back his hand and pushing his books towards her.

“Act…actually… that…girl!” Ragini spoke.

Sanskar understood the matter.

“Don’t worry about that girl. I promise she will not be coming atleast near to you.” he said smiling.

Ragini looked at him for few moments and then forwards her hand to him smiling lightly. Sanskar looks at her hand and her face. He smiles brightly and joins his hand with her shaking happily.

“Friends!” She said smiling.

He smiled and nodded. She got up from the bench taking his books and about to go. But turned towards him.

“I am once again sorry on behalf of my sister.” She said without stammering.

He nodded with neutral expression. She understood and turned to go but again stopped.

“Are you free this hour?” she asked suddenly.

He nodded.

“Would you mind helping me with last week’s lectures?” She asked.

“Sure. In Canteen!” he said smiling.

She nodded smiling and walked while he ran behind her leaving his friends who are waiting for him outside the class all this time. They got confused but then thought he must be planning something and left from there to enjoy the free hour.

****

“Mish yaar what happened?” he wrote in the book and passed to her as the lecture is going on.

“DO NOT TALK TO ME!” she wrote in capital letters and pushed the book towards Ruhaan.

He made a '😔’ emoji and pushed towards her. She immediately made '😤’ emoji and pushed towards him. He sighed and thought of speaking to her later. He then continued in concentrating in the class.

****

“And that’s how it is solved!” he explained.

Ragini smiled and nodded understanding.

“Clear?” he asked.

“Completely!” she said smiling.

He nodded back with smile.

“Can I take your books home for today? Will get them back tomorrow for sure!” She asked almost making a cute puppy face.

He smiled and nodded.

“Thank You so much!” she said happily.

The bell rang and they both stood up to go. Both of them smiled and moved towards their class room as the next lecture would start soon.

Thank You for reading.
