Uhm yes, it's an update 😊

Ragini was walking ahead while Laksh was surprised by her fast moves, she is in hurry did I missed something? Has she planned something too? Gosh this woman...

Not looking straight to her, he runs into her.

"Ouch, why did you stopped Ragini?"

Ragini rolled her eyes, "you were about to take me out, now how should I know where?" Her eyes met his and he was lost for a moment, those eyes he could stare at them his whole life.

"Laksh?" She snapped with her fingers in front of him, "where are you lost?"

Laksh shook his head out of his trance, he scratched his back head and was trying to focus on something else.

"Haan I have a plan, but?" He wasn't sure, as he doesn't want to cross his lines.

"Laksh, could you please look at me?"

Laksh couldn't, because if he would then he wouldn't be able to take off his eyes from her.

"I won't go with you," she pouted with crossed arms around her chest.

"Uff Ragini, say?" He looked at her and then he saw her mischievous smile.

"Hmm Mr. Khanna, where are you going to take me out, don't forget I'm your Mrs."

Laksh was numbed, it took him some seconds to realise that she has hooked her arm under his, while her head was leaning on his bicep.

"Why are you so tall? I could rest my head on shoulder but now," she was touching the arm, "muscles haan, good good. Let's go."

All his fear and tension he felt before was gone as it never happened, better say, there was never a problem with the situation.

"Haan let's go, Mrs. Ragini Khanna."

Both left to see the city, they did all by foot and had their own fun, they had lunch at a small street food place. Selling seafood and vegetables. Both could enjoy what they liked.

Laksh was looking up to the blue sky, "it's so beautiful I don't want this to end ever."

Ragini didn't hear him, the church bell gained her attention, she was looking at the big church, when Laksh took her hand.

"Laksh, where are we going?"

"How about the church, finally I can thank God for giving me you," he smiles looking at her, which gave her a heat on her face.

"But Laksh we aren't Christians?"

Laksh frowns, "you can go to the church even if you aren't a Christian, it's like every religious house. They aren't forbidden for anyone, they gave hope and shelter. Besides I'm a Christian. Shall we?"

Ragini was numb, she didn't said a word not even after they got blessed by the priest. Laksh lighten a candle, he kneeled down and released a noiseless prayer.

Ragini was standing behind him, watching him with a new view, finally I can learn something about you. You need to explain me a lot Mister Khanna.

Laksh completed his pray, he looked at her, "now we will go to the..."

Ragini didn't liked the way he stopped in the middle of the sentence, the whole time she was questioning him, about the place or destination he was looking for.

"Taada❗️"

Ragini looked over there was a beach, with little cottages, "aww Laksh it's the beach. I love the beach."

"Very good me too, let's go."

They entered the water, till the ankles, "Laksh why don't we have some ice cream?"

Laksh nodded, "well that's a very good question by you, why don't you get us some?" He looked over her head, there was a beach bar, selling various items including ice cream.

Ragini saw that too, "fine I will get, but don't go far." She warned him and left to buy some yummy ice cream.

Laksh jumped into the water, he needed the cool freshness of the water. I love the beach, so much fun here. I wish she had some modern clothes but Saree is also fine, just to swim will be a bit problematic. Hmm doesn't matter, even I'm in with my clothes and I'm wearing a jeans [Jeans so heavy!].

Ragini was having two different kinds of ice cream one of milk and one of water, hmm what will he like more? I will let him decide and take the leftover. Haan cause I should have asked him, right. Silly me, my idea but unprepared. Ugh.

Ragini was near the water, she looked around and moved a little bit, "Laksh?!" She pouted, where is he?

A big wave of water splashed on her by him, he couldn't control and laughed out loud, while she was standing there speechless and wet.

Laks swam further into the wide open ocean, but Ragini didn't moved, he stopped looking at her, she was visible angry and he had expected her to follow him, just to have some fun in the water, but nothing like that. He swam back to her.

"Ragini I thought you love the beach?"

"I do, but I love my ice cream too!" She turned her face away, hiding her anger and shame.

Laksh walked out of the water, he stood next to her, "okay, so you can correct me anytime. You love the beach and you love the ice cream, right?"

She nodded without a word, he looked at the two varieties, "Ragini, which one of them you like? I will take the one, which you like lesser."

Ragini took the milk ice and he the water ice.

They walked along the beach, while having the ice, her sandals and his boots were in a knot, over his shoulder.

"I can carry my pair of shoes," Ragini said to him taking a bit of her ice.

Laksh shook his head, "I'm a gentleman, I can't let you carry your shoes. In fact I have to carry you too."

Ragini shook her head, "no need!"

"Really?" He looked at her with a lifted eyebrow.

"Yes, really. I can walk!"

"I know you can walk, but I guess you can't swim, right?"

Ragini lowered her head, "Daadi Maa never appreciated it, she said, there is no need to learn how to swim as I won't need it ever, in the house I will marry they won't accept modern women, I should concentrate on my skills as a wife and daughter-in-law."

Laksh hold her hand and pulled her close, she hit with her ice cream on his chest, "I will teach you how to swim, someday, but for now, I just need your trust, do you trust me?"

Ragini looked at him, her eyes were lost in his, "yes, I trust you."

A warm heart melting smile of his and she was in the water till her knees, slowly but steadily they went further till she stopped, "no Laksh, I can't swim. I will drown in the water."

The way he was holding her hand, completely inter winded with his hand, "even if you will drown I will follow you, even if it means to drown with you till the sea bottom. I don't mind it as long as I'm with you."

His words, his eyes and his heating hand all of this gave her a new strength, "I won't let this happen, cause someday you will teach me how to swim, now let's go home. Okay?"

Laksh nodded, they took a small break near a Maggi store and had some hot maggi [no one can say no to Maggi].

It was late in the night, when they returned, the time had flied away without their concern.

They changed individually their clothes, first Ragini then Laksh.

Ragini was sitting on the bed, when he came out of the washroom with changed clothes, "so?"

Laksh looked at her, "so, what?"

Ragini didn't liked his way, sometimes he is unreadable for me, whenever I through I know him now, he comes with something new. Like the separate room, wherever it is. To be honest I never thought about it and had no idea about it. Even today, it was my fault I didn't asked him, but he is being very conscious about my well-being. He sees me and can read my like n open book. When this trip a bed for me and a couch for him. But still  he agreed on my request, but why know this room?

"Did you liked the day?"

Laksh broke her out of her trance, he was standing there, looking into her eyes waiting for her response, but instead of saying anything she yawns loudly, "I'm so tired."

There was a small moment, when he thought she would say something about the day, she just turned the table, but not in negative way. The way her smile increased saying she is tired made him realised that she enjoyed each moment of it. He made his way to the bed, "okay, then you should rest."

Ragini nodded, she wrapped herself in the duvet and closed her eyes, just then she asked him, "why this room?" Out of the blue.

Laksh stood up, he went to change his clothes, he didn't liked to wear a night suit and had asked her, if it's okay, if he sleeps in his shorts as he can't stand the heat neither does he likes the cold air of the air-conditioner. He could adjust for her, but she had given him the permission to sleep in whatever he is comfortable with, as she is comfortable with him.

Laksh laid down on the bed, he was wearing a light trouser, "why I chose this room?"

Ragini in half sleep, "haan, why?"

In that one moment everything darkened in front of Ragini, even through her eyes were close before, the moonshine gave her light. She opens her eyes and saw him, over her, just for a couple of seconds she stopped to breath, he moved over her and made her move to the side he was laying first, the moonlight was shining into the room, the darkness was gone and filled with an bright light.

"Well if I'm not wrong Mrs. Khanna loves the moonshine and Mr. Khanna loves his Ragini, have a good night."

He moved and back faced her, she didn't noticed it, but the view was unbelievably beautiful and now she had the light always with her and the heat next to her.
