Happy Sri Rama Navami!

*****

Ruhaan and Mishti grew more protective towards Ragini. Both of them always stayed with Ragini whenever possible while when it is not possible Ruhaan kept asking her to stay away from Sanskar. Ragini might be for the first time hiding about her continuing friendship with Sanskar from Mishti and Ruhaan. She also said to Sanskar to stay away from her if he sees Ruhaan or Mishti around. He obliged her.

The whole college is busy practising for Cultural day. MisHaan are participating in a couple dance while Ragini is not performing anything as she is scared of lots of people. Sanskar tried making her understand but she clearly said no and he also left as he can't force her.

The cultural program is that weekend. The preparations are going on full swing. Since everybody are busy in one or the other thing Ragini is also assisting her lecturer regarding the arrangements as she is one of the less members who aren't participating in anything.

It is lunch time. RagMisHaan are in canteen.

"I don't want anything!" Ragini said twisting her lips by putting her head on Mishti's shoulder.

"Come on Doll don't be a kid. We decided it yesterday only that we will eat unhealthy today. Why are you so adamant saying that mumma didn't cook?" Mishti spoke.

"My mood changed. Anyways now both of you don't start. Get whatever you want to. I will eat." Ragini spoke huffing.

"Doll come help me!" Ruhaan spoke.

"Why meeee?" she asked whining.

Ruhaan looked behind her as he saw Sanskar entering the canteen along with his friends. If he takes Mishti to help him Ragini will be alone. So he asked Ragini to help.

"Please!" He pleaded her.

She pouted and stood huffing. Ruhaan signed Mishti and she understood the matter. Ruhaan held Ragini's hand and walked with her.

Sanskar looked at Ragini along with MisHaan and stayed silent though he wants to talk to her as he didn't speak to her since last evening. Vihaan looked at RagMisHaan and smirked. He signed Rahul and both of them showed thumbs up secretly. Sanskar didn't notice their signs and went to get his food. Rahul walked towards Ragini intentionally and was about to hit her from back to make the plate she is holding fall down but Mishti who is observing them from the beginning acted fast and pulled him back. Everybody turned for the sound to see Mishti glaring Rahul while Rahul is glaring her back. Sanskar sighed seeing the scene. He rushed to Rahul and pulled him away before they create a scene.

"What did you do Rahul?" Sanskar asked.

"I did nothing Sanskar. She only came suddenly and pulled me back roughly." Rahul spoke making an innocent face.

Sanskar nodded slightly and left from there not having food. Ragini observed him going away without having food.

"What happened Mish?" Ragini asked as they got settled for having food.

"He tried to push you. I have seen! But you won't believe!" Mishti spoke irritated.

"I won't believe! Yeah!" Ragini spoke sarcastically and got up taking her food plate angrily.

She moved away from there.

"Mish!" Ruhaan spoke shaking his head and followed Ragini.

Mishti followed them. Ragini knows they will follow her so she sat in the garden silently.

"Doll have the food. Mish stop irritating my Doll!" Ruhaan spoke sitting beside her.

"I am in no mood. I will have after sometime. I am free anyway. You guys have and go to your practise." Ragini said reading the book she is holding while her food plate is beside her covered with a paper.

"Doll I am sorry. I know you are listening to us and staying away from them. I only spoke wrong as I was irritated of that boys. I am sorry. Have food." Mishti spoke.

Ragini felt guilt as she is lying as well as couldn't deny that she is mostly staying away from Sanskar atleast when they are around her.

"I will Mish. You have yours. I am not hungry now. Please." Ragini spoke.

MisHaan sighed and nodded. They had their food silently and left for practise as they are getting late. Ragini making sure they left for their practise called Sanskar.

"Come to Garden area in five minutes!" she said as he took the call and cuts the call as soon as she is done saying.

Sanskar looked on but then immediately rushed to garden area. He saw her reading a book.

"You okay Miss. Glasses?" Sanskar asked.

She looked at him and smiled. She nodded. She took the plate beside her and forwarded to him.

"Have food like a good boy." She said.

"And you?" he asked smiling.

She smiled and nodded. Both of them had their food smiling happily.

"Oops I forgot my bag at the practise room. You guys walk to the exit. I will come in five minutes." Ragini spoke.

"Doll I will come along!" Ruhaan spoke.

"Ru! Mish is struggling with her long dress. You help her. I will be back." Ragini said and went away not listening to him.

It was their cultural day. The event almost got over while RagMisHaan has decided to leave as it is getting more and more late. All three of them are tired too. Ragini kept her bag in the practise room while she was helping her lecturer.

She was walking in the corridor when Sanskar and his friends who were also about to leave saw her.

"Go complete your work!" Rahul spoke pushing Sanskar.

Sanskar just walked following Ragini.

"Mish you stay here I will go and come along with Doll." Ruhaan said.

She nodded and about to move but slipped. She was about to fall but Ruhaan held her.

"I think you need me too!" Ruhaan spoke sighing.

"It's okay I will manage you go." Mishti said.

"Let us both go together." Ruhaan said.

Mishti looked at her long dress and sighed. With difficulty both of them started going towards the practise room.

"Oye Miss. Glasses!" Sanskar called her as they he entered the practise room.

Ragini turned adjusting her glasses with smile. He moved close to her and stood beside her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I forgot my bag!" she pouted.

He smiled.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"You remember I asked you a question. Answer me!" he said.

"Which question?" Ragini asked acting confused.

"I will ask again then. Are you fond off me?" He asked straight holding her hand.

Ragini looked into his eyes straight. Both of them got lost in each other's eyes.

"Answer me Miss. Glasses!" he spoke softly.

Ragini smiled and about to go but he pulled her back in force due to which her leg slipped and both of them fell down. Ragini on Sanskar and in the force both their lips touched making both their eyes wide. Ragini was about to get up immediately but her chain got struck to Sanskar's shirt button. Ragini once again fell on him.

"Shh... calm down. Let me remove it." Sanskar spoke.

Ragini nodded. He tried untangling them and finally got it.

"Done!" he spoke and looked at Ragini who is staring him lovingly.

"Miss. Glasses!" he called her.

Ragini looked into his eyes and he cupped her face with his hand. Both of them stared and slowly got close letting their lips meet. They kissed lovingly closing their eyes feeling each other.

"Ragini!" they heard a scream due to which they broke the kiss.

They looked the way to see MisHaan glaring Sanskar. Ruhaan rushed to them and pulled Ragini. Mishti also moved close. Ruhaan held Sanskar with his collar and just punched him straight on his nose making his nose bleed. He was about to hit him again but Sanskar held his hand stopping him from further beating. Ruhaan was about to fight again but got stopped by Ragini's voice.

"Ru stop!" Ragini shouted.

"You don't speak a word Ragini. Ru told you to stay away from him but still you let him near you. You know he and his friends planned and he kissed you according to their plan to revenge me. He is such a cheap disgusting man!" Mishti spoke angrily glaring Sanskar who is in Ruhaan's clutches.

Ruhaan was about to beat him again but stopped exactly when his hand is just a centimetre away from Sanskar's face as he heard Ragini.

"I KNOW! I know about his revenge!" Ragini spoke as her eyes flow with tears looking down.

Sanskar looked at her shocked. MisHaan looked at her shocked. Ruhaan left Sanskar being shocked.

"You knew? And yet you let him do it!" Ruhaan spoke painfully.

Mishti looked at her with moist eyes. Sanskar kept staring her. Ragini looked above and her eyes met with Sanskar's again. She held Mishti's hand and moved out wiping her tears while Sanskar kept staring the way she went.

Rahul and Vihaan came there and were shocked to see Sanskar's nose bleeding.

"Sanskar!" Rahul called him.

Sanskar looked at them and went away from there wiping the blood.
