Hi

Recap: RagLak found a place in Pune.

Laksh was looking around, it was for them the first time to be away from the family and living independently.

Laksh was looking at his innocent wife, who was lying next to him on the cold floor. He felt bad, he can't give her anything, he is of no use.

It was Ragini's idea to place the clothes on the floor to have a little bit comfort, but what kind of comfort without having a real bed or furniture.

Laksh took his shirt and placed it on her bare body. Sorry I can't give you much, but soon!

Laksh stood up and went to the washroom, he was shivering his body was working against him. He wore, with much effort and care, his clothes, there was a mirror at the washroom.

Laksh was trying to bind his tie, but his hands were shaking continuously, he couldn't handle it, till two hands appeared in front of him.

Ragini was standing there checking his tie, she wore his shirt and felt the emptiness next to her, "Laksh I told you, I'm there for you!"

Laksh nods, "I'm going to find a job, the savings I have aren't much, but we can survive you don't worry!" He kisses her forehead and left with his paper. He was surprised to find them in the bag.

Ragini took a shower and comes out wearing fresh clothes, she checked the purse and thought what she could buy. I have to be careful with the money, we don't have much. I just hope Laksh will find a job soon.

Laksh was gone to one interview after another one, but like it was shown his body wasn't working properly for him. The shake and nervousness of him made it impossible for the employer to give him a chance.

Ragini had gone out too, she bought some vegetables for their dinner. She saw him sitting at the stairway with a lowered head. The file with his certificates were in his shaking hands.

Ragini come and sat next to him, "If you don't mind we can sell the jewellery. I have brought them only for emergency. Don't you think it's an emergency?"

Laksh felt helpless, "Ragini you come as a bride into my life not as a treasure that I can take out something of yours just because I can't do anything for you! Your jewellery is the last memory of your mother and the jewellery my mother gave you, she had given you because she loved you as her daughter. How can I ask you to sell it?" He shook his head and she hold his hand.

He relaxes, "You know you are the one, who can calm me?" Ragini smiles with a blush on her face.

"Laksh ji I think I have a solution!" She was looking at him.

"Solution?" He repeats and looked at her.

Ragini nods, "Haan we need money and I would like to do a job!" She waited for his response, but he was numb.

Again Ragini you want to take the burden on your shoulders. How will I pay it back to you? Will I be able to return your favour on me?

Ragini places her hand on his shoulder, "Laksh ji what happen? Are you angry with me for my decision? I'm sorry I never want to hurt you. Thought to help you only!" She rested her head on her hand. Laksh rests his head on hers "No Ragini, I'm not angry. I'm frustrated on myself!"

Ragini felt bad, she kisses his cheek and stood up, "Laksh ji come I will make the food!"

Laksh follows her in, he couldn't do much, but he tries to clean the house and was helping her with the household. They didn't had much, but each other, what was enough.

Ragini made him sleep, he really was shivering the whole night, "Laksh!" She rested his head on her lap and caresses his head. She gave him a kiss on his forehead holding his hand tightly in hers, "Sshh! I'm here!" She bend down with her upper body and rested her head over his, "Shhh, everything will be fine!" She was caressing his belly and chest, he slowly calms and she fall asleep in this position.

On the next morning

Ragini woke up early, she had pain in her back and legs because of her painful sleep, but she would do everything for Laksh.

She took a quick shower and prepared the breakfast before leaving the house for a job interview.

Laksh woke up and was near a panic attack not seeing Ragini around him, but he found the note on the ground next to the plate of his breakfast.

Laksh ji I will be back soon, with a good news. I found an advert in the newspaper. Old fashioned I know, but a company nearby is looking for a PA. Maybe I will get the job and we will be able to survive.

Your Ragini

Laksh folded the note and placed it in his wallet not losing it ever. It gave him peace to know he isn't alone. He ate the food and cleaned the dirty dishes, well only his dish Ragini had completed everything before leaving the house.

Laksh was impatiently waiting for her return. No, not because he is hungry or anything like this. No, because he is missing her deeply.

Ragini come home very late, but with a happy face. Her happiness increases the moment she saw Laksh waiting for her.

Ragini speeded and hugs him tight, "Laksh ji I got the job! I will start from tomorrow!" He was happy for her and carries her inside the cottage. He made her lie on the ground, he had sold his watch to buy some pillows.

He restricted her to move and come with food, "I tried it, it burnt as we don't have much I didn't throw it away!" He lowers his gaze, but she smiles, "Aah!" She was waiting for the morsel.

Laksh fed her and she was resting on his chest. Slowly she fall asleep and he massage her feet's...
