WHAT YOU LOVE LAADOO? Sanky and Adarsh shouted in shock while Laksh choked and coughed badly. Did I say I love laado, he thought to himself. AP immediately rubbed his back. DP glared at SanAdi while Swara and Pari suffocated their laugh. Laksh, beta are you ok AP asked him concerned. He faked a smile and nodded. Chachu you always fight with dadi when she makes laado for us. But today you were so happy asked Arshad and Swikar. Laksh knows that he could escape anyone but not these two. He was praying God to save him this time and fortunately he received an important call. He thanked his stars and excused from everyone to attend the call. Everyone laughed suspecting his weird behaviour. Pari and Swara hified and laughed among them. Shona I just could not wait to bring Ragini as our sister. Swara too nodded in agreement. Yes di. But we must somehow let Laksh know about Rajat's intention. Both looked at each other and said together smiling. They signalled AP to come to their meeting place. Everyone finished their lunch. DP along with SanAdi went to their study. The kids went to their play room. Pari and Swara were waiting for AP in their back yard garden where no one used to come. AP reached there. She fed them sweets. Mom,Pari called her. Dont you find Laksh behaving weird, she asked. Yes beta. I am sure my son is in love, she said with a smile. Mom, Swara caught her hands. Please let Laksh know about Rajat's intention please. Only Laksh could save Ragini from our devil brother. Yes mom Swara is absolutely right. We are ashamed to call him our brothe. We failed as his di's. Due to bad influence of papa and dadi he is  becoming worse day by day, Pari said wiping her tears. Mom the way he saw Ragini, I myself felt shivers runnjng through my spine. We somehow have to save her from that beast devil and both of them broke down in AP's arms who took them in her embrace consoling them.

   It was late evening. Rajat was in a club with his friends. His friends were enjoying themselves bjt he was just physically present. He was brought back to his sense by one of his friends. Oye kya hua bhai. Kahan ko gayi tum. Rajat did not pay any heed. He just took his mobile and saw Ragini's pic which he took without her knowledge. His friends snatched his phone and everyone were looking at her pic without blinking. Rajat immediately snatched his phone. Don't you all just dare. She is only mine he warned them with a death glare. Rajat we have never seen you this way. It is just a day you have seen her but you seem to be obsessed with her. Rajat let out a smirk. You are correct Rocky. She has become my obsession. I want her at any cost. And most importantly I will not let that Laksh win this time. I know he loves his PA but she is going to be only mine. He let a evil smile with burning eyes.

     Laksh was looking at the sky from his balcony. It was a full moon day. He saw Ragini's angelic face in the moon. He jerked his thoughts. He walked to his bed and half layed. God, what is happening to me. Why am I not able to come out of her thoughts. I,Laksh Maheshwari going crazy due to a girl. He suddenly had a smile. But she is not any ordinary girl. She is just the one and only unique piece in the universe. But why do I feel different whenever she is around me. "Because you are in love", he turned his gaze to the direction from where the voice came and found his mom smiling at him. DP SanAdi were hiding outside his room while Swara and Pari were hiding on the other side without anyone's knowledge. The kids slept early.
     AP came towards her confused son and sat beside him. Laksh placed his head on his mom's lap. Mom, what did you say, I am in love. But mom it is just 2 or 3 days since we have met. AP smiled at her son's question. She caressed his hair. Laksh love does'nt need any specific time frame. It happens just like that just like a spark you know. Laksh smiled at his mother widely tganking his mother who cleared his confused mind. He sat beside her and placed his head on her shoulder hugging her. Mom you know she is the most beautiful girl not only in her outer appearance but also inside. She is such an innocent soul and a very selfless girl. He told his mom about the moments they spent. How she turned in to a kid while talking and playing with the children, how scared she was when she laughed at him,the reason she gave for not accepting him to drop her. AP and the others who were listening to all these were so happy and they had a respect for Ragini.
   Laksh continued ,"mom you are the best mother anyone would have got. You know mom even I wanted to get married and lead a happy life and I wanted my life partner to make my life more beautiful. But now, I wish to marry Ragini and give her all the happiness she deserves. I will protect her from all the evils and give her a beautiful family which she always yearned for. Yes mom I love her. I truly love her.  AP was looking at her son with pride lovingly. The others were also jumping with joy as their Lucky has found his soul mate finally. Pari and Swara were thanking God. They saw the others going towarda the room and hence wrnt from there.
    DP and SanAdi entered Laksh's room and before he could say something his brothers lifted him and twirled him. So this is  the reason for your sudden love towards laado haan they teased while Laksh blushed.  AP & DP were looking at them lovingly. Once they settled Laksh dowm DP took him in a bone crushing hug. Laksh,beta I am very happy with your decision. I know I am repeating this but I strongly feel connected to her. So it is your responsibility to protect my princess from now on. Do you get that, he told in a fake strict voice but with lots of concern. Laksh promised him. DP got a call and hence excused from them.
  Adarsh then spoke in a serious voice. Lucky dad is right. You have to protect Ragini and as her brothers even we have that responsibility. Laksh and AP were confused. Adarsh, beta why do you say like this haan. Haan bhai, Laksh said. Is there a serious issue. Yes Lucky, Sanky said. It is that jerk Rajat Gadodiya. What? Laksh asked in a shock. Yes Lucky we saw that idiot eyeing Ragini in a wrong way. You know him well right. Laksh was raging in anger closing his fist. They all knew how danger Rajat was. Laksh and Rajat were in the same class. Rajat never got a chance to win against Laksh be in academics, sports or election. Even in business he was unable to win him and he was just waiting for a chance. Also once he got him convicted for trying to misbehave with a girl and from that time Rajat always had a grudge on him. If he knew that Laksh was in love with Ragini he would hurt her for sure. Laksh knew he would have by now collected Ragini's details. He had to save his love at any cost. He told his mom and siblings that they need not worry. Everyone called it a day and retired to their rooms. Laksh lay on his bed with a beautiful smile thinking of his new found love and closed his eyes in her thoughts saying "my laadoo" and smiled.
    On the other side Ragini who had slept in the seating position in the window side woke with a jerk as she felt someone calling her. God how did I sleep here, she slapped her fore head. She went towards her bed drowned in her thoughts again. Flashes of her spending time with AP and Laksh came to her mind. "Cute and beautiful" she said to herself smiling. I feel so safe and secured with their family. I feel like I am one among them. She then smiled on her thoughts. Well its because they are so nice to all and anyone would feel the same when they are with aunty or my bosses. Ok its already late. I have to wake up soon tomorrow as I have to go early. She dozed off to welcome the tomorrow without knowing the plan of destiny
