Recap: Laksh got to know about her name, he drunk on an empty stomach.

Ragini got scared, she immediately stood up and helped him to the washroom, which wasn't of his taste, "yuck, it smells so bad here." He complained about everything and she was bearing it all.

I don't like your smell of vomit, do I complain, no. I have to take it and clean the mess behind you. Who is looking after me? No one and the one who should look after me is a drunkard.

Ragini took her shawl, she put it under the water tap and wet it with the water, like a mother she was cleaning his face, calmly and softly.

Laksh was looking at her, "I need to charge my mobile phone and I need balance to use it, you understand me?"

Ragini nodded, ~yes, I can hear you.~ she gestures him and he shook his head, "maybe you can do this after, when I have the balance, because I don't understand it."

Ragini rolls her eyes and shook her head, a pout was on her face, but her eyes were showing anger.

Laksh remembered the something of the last night, he pulled her close and she hits with his chest, his hand was moving and suddenly he was cupping her face with the hand.

Ragini was confused, she wasn't scared of him or his behaviour, she had found a solution to stay strong. Never show him her weakness. Him.

Laksh turns her face, she wasn't looking at him and her mouth was half open, his fingers were bore into her cheeks, but she didn't bargained.

With his free hand Laksh stroke over her cheek, the same one he had slapped the last night, with the index finger he formed letters, she could feel them.

It was like he was writing it on her cheek, 'Sorry'

Ragini blinks with her eyes, she smiles cutely and he released her from his grip. He took her shawl and went back into the cottage, the shawl he used as a cover for his face and nose.

Ragini shook her head. Stupid! Calm down. She took a deep breath and enters her home.

Laksh was laying back on the bed, Ragini stamps to him, she shows on the bottle and shook her head, her hands were making crosses ❌❌❌ she points on the bottle again and made a cross with her arms.

Laksh nods awkwardly, "I think I got you. Not to drink, right?"

Ragini nodded and Laksh frowns, "so you can hear me?" He said and she nodded again.

Laksh was amazed, he smiled, "muted but not deaf. Thought you might be reading lips."He took the pillow and adjusted it to rest again on it.

Ragini was happy after seeing him smiling. She made clear to him not to drink until she won't return. I have to keep it easy for him to understand me or else he will do the same mistake again.

Ragini left the house and Laksh was sleeping, he didn't know when she returned, but the food was ready and his phone was on charger even the balance was refilled. How? He shook his head, these things weren't important for him. He checked his mobile phone, but there wasn't a call or a message, everyone left him.

Ragini looked at him, she had prepared the food for him. I will feed him, it's the best way to fill his stomach or he will start to drink again. No!

Laksh stood up, he looked at her, she was coming with the plate, but he was looking for the bottle, "my bottle?" He asked and she shook her head.

She lifts the plate and her eyes were clearly saying him to eat.

"Fill a glass for me." He said coming dangerously close to her, she feared as his hand was tightened. She gave him the plate and asked him to sit, her hand was pointing on the ground.

Laksh sat on the blanket, which was spread on the floor, she went inside the kitchen and filled the glass with the liquid, he was dying for.

Both were silently sitting together and having their food. She was drinking the water and he the alcohol.
