Ragini entered the room of Laksh, he was crying silently there. His tears were rolling down there wasn't a hold on them, as if he had never cried before.

Ragini went to him, with a heavy heart she said next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Laksh, I'm so sorry." She placed her other hand on his other shoulder and turned him toward her, both were face to face, "I'm here if you need someone to talk with." She was talking to him in a calm way with warm words.

Laksh sniffs, he wipes his tears away and tried to looked at her, "I'm missing them." She was looking at him, his red eyes and nose, the shaking lips and body. It was all too much for him to handle it.

"I guess you never shared your pain, Laksh please speak your heart out I'm here and I won't judge you neither I will blame you. We can't change what happened, but we can try to live with it. There shouldn't be any kind of guilt." She cups his face and wipes the tears with her thumbs.

Laksh took a deep breath, she could hear his nose, which was filled. Ragini smiles, she searched for a hanky and gave him the tissue box of the side cupboard.

Laksh was looking at it, "what?" He asked and wipes the tears away with his hand back. Ragini smiles, "clean your nose, you will be breathing better." Laksh pouts, he took a tissue and cleans his nose. The noise of his cleaning was like the sound of a trumpet. Ragini suppressed her laugh and sat again next to him.

Laksh was looking dull, he didn't liked to talk about it to anyone, but now he was caged. He had shown his emotions and now he has to deal with the consequences.

Ragini broke his thoughts by her touch on his shoulder, "Laksh you don't need to share it if you don't want to. I just thought being an outsider it would be easier for you. I will leave and take your secret with me."

Laksh knew it, but still he wasn't comfortable, like she said it, she is an outsider. Yet she was there, when he needs someone.

Let your grace bless me💕🎼

Laksh looked out of the window, "my parents died two years back. I finished college and all the mess up started."

Ragini was confused. What he mean?

Laksh didn't met her gaze.

"Papa I don't want to be a businessman like you. You all know that I love music and I love to dance and sing."

DP looked at him, "what? The son of DP Maheshwari will be a musician? No way, I haven't raised you to become a singer one day. AP explain your son his responsibility toward us and our business."

I looked from my father to my mother, "Maa please don't drag me into the business world. It's not me I will lose myself in it and won't be the same. Let me become what I want to be." I tried to explain, but they were against me.

"Laksh have you lost your mind. Your papa and I have done so much for you. We are just asking you to look after our business. The music won't fill your stomach or your luxury lifestyle."

I shook my head, "I don't want this all, neither I ever wanted it."

My father come and hold my collar, "then get out from here. Take your guitar and leave. There is no place for you here." He pushed me and I left, I never turned back.

I had no idea where to go, but I came here to Varun and Dhanya. Both looked after me and then I was practicing with her, Dhanya.

"Di someday I will call you Bhabhi, just waiting for it."

She smiled and playfully hit me, "you are too much. Okay now listen I submitted your demo to a talent show."

I widen my eyes and was shocked, "you did what?" I was beyond happiness, "wow and what is waiting for me?"

She calmed me, "relax, they have your demo and after checking / comparing it they will invite you for a live audition. Then you will have a chance to perform in front of music directors and managers of music labels."

I couldn't believe my luck, the next few weeks just flown like this and I got an invitation for a live audition. I was so happy and asked her to accompany me.

"Of course I will come." She was happier than me. I didn't understand why.

We reached the audition and I was hell nervous, "oh man I'm death. I can't do this." I was sweating badly and then she looked at me.

"Laksh I have a surprise for you." She opened the curtains of the stage to look into the hall, but there were only the music label management and a few music directors, "what happen Di?" I asked as she frighten.

"I called your parents. They should be here to see your success."

I was happy and surprised at the same time, "what? They are, but where?" I was looking for them, but couldn't find them.

They called my name and I entered the stage. I took the mic and asked them to wait just 5 minutes as my parents are on their way.

They agreed and I was asked to wait at the backstage. The time was passing, but my parents didn't show up. They called me again, "we can't wait any longer." They said and I nodded to them.

"I'm sorry for making you wait. I'm Laksh....!"

"What?!" There was the loud shout and I couldn't understand it. I turned and saw Dhanya falling on her knees, the phone in her hand and tear filled eyes.

"Di?!" I shouted.

She placed her hand on her mouth and shook her head, "I'm so sorry they met with an accident."

Ragini looked at him, "they came to support you." Now I understand why Dhanya took it so seriously. She feels responsible for his state.

Laksh was looking at her, "I lost everything that day. I have nothing anymore and they asked me to sing on their wedding. The reason, why my parents died was my wish to become a singer and now I'm alone."

Ragini felt bad for him, "no Laksh, you shouldn't think like this, they come to your support they understood your point and accepted your decision. They were ready, but destiny had planned something else, that doesn't mean you should think wrong and take it as a wrong sign." She stood up, "come get up." She forwarded her hand and he looked at her with red eyes.

🎼💕Sun raha hai naa tu ro raha hoon main
Hope you are listening that I am crying💕🎼

Laksh took her hand and she pulled him up, "strong?" He said to her.

Ragini shows her biceps 💪, "I know I am strong!" She laughs and he looks at her with a smile on his face.

"Come Laksh!" She was moving ahead and found his guitar, she took it in her hands and looked at him.

"Play!"

Laksh was looking at her, "no, I don't have the right tune..." He was lying as the hole in his heart was getting filled by her smile and shine.

Ragini pouts, "not fair, but okay as soon as you feel like you can play and I won't judge you." She left the room saying him to have good night.
