Ragini was unhappy, her life was boring and around her everyone was getting married or was in a longtime relationship. Damn it. I know I'm not getting younger and all around me are having someone, but why the hell do they have to show it me? Like rubbing the fact that I'm single under my nose. Ugh!

Ragini was sitting on the stairway of her apartment complex. She was allowed to leave early from the job, as she had to pack her stuff. My sister, my YOUNGER sister is getting married and I'm still single. How is this even possible? The man she loves and is getting married to is one of the weirdest man I ever met. Well to be honest I haven't met him in person, but through emails, WhatsApp or Facebook I got some information about him and I don't like him. He is just not good enough for my baby doll.

Ragini took a deep breath. Baby doll... she rolls her eyes. Well she isn't really my baby doll. We aren't real sister I'm kinda an orphan and they took me in. They are my aunt and uncle, I call them mom and dad. Then there is my 'younger' sister Jiya, I love her but sometimes she is a pain in my ass. She was one of the reasons why I left India and come to New York. Thinking of that I actually have to thank her for her continues disturbing and irritating me I left and become successful in my job. I could live my life on my own.

There was the sound of bark, which brought her back to the reality. Stupid dog I hate animals. She stood up and went up to her apartment, she packed her clothes and took the cab she ordered. Soon Ragini reached the airport and the plane take off.

Laksh was roaming around the streets of Mumbai. Oh no again I lost the job, damn it I need the money for my sisters wedding or else they will refuse her. How is this possible to bow down for a dowry. I hate this, I wish I could marry first and get the dowry from my wife to give it to my sister. Shit how cheap the thinking is. Ugh!

Laksh scratches his head, he was on his way, when he found an old friend of his, "Hi Kabir."

Kabir smiles looking at him, "hey how are you?" They shook hands and Laksh wasn't sure how to share his dilemma with his friend.

"Laksh tell me what is?" Kabir pushes him kindly and Laksh smiles by his act.

"Array yaar my sister is getting married, but the groom side has asked for a dowry." Laksh took a deep breath, "I lost my job again and it's difficult for me to find a new one. You know my past I'm a small thief." Laksh said shrugging his shoulders.

"I can't believe this, there is court section against dowry then why don't you report them?"

"Yaar my sister and he are in relationship and if I'm not wrong their relationship went whey too far. I would love to slap her, but it won't make it undone."

Kabir nodded understandably, "yes, I got it. Why don't you come tomorrow to this address." He took out a note and gave it to Laksh.

"What, why?"

"You want a job, then come there it's a honest job less money but maybe you can get tip?"

Laksh frowns, "you know I was a bad waiter that time and I'm still not good in this work."

Kabir laughs, "that doesn't matter. Just come there even a bright student would take any job to keep the reputation of his family."

Laksh smiles, "yes, you are right. I will come there. Thanks."

They both went different paths.

Ragini finally reached to the Mumbai airport, she was looking for a cab, "it's so warm here, it's suffocating I need something cold. I know it's not good as my body will try to heat up again and the end result it would be warmer than before. But to drink warm beverage isn't helping me."

A taxi driver was looking at her, "ma'am do you need help?" She was talking to herself and only just realised it by the call of the man, she lowers her gaze and asked for the rate for the drive to the address.

Ragini agreed to the amount and the man helped her in placing the bags into the car booth.

Ragini was sitting at the backseat of the cab, the driver started the car and music was playing on the background.

🎼Shaamein malang see
Raatein surang see
Baaghi udaan pe hi naa jaane kyun
Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye
Ilaahi mera jee aaye aaye🎼

Ragini has closed her eyes, the window of the cab was open and the fresh breeze on her face making her hair fly in the air. A geniuses smile appears on her face and she felt the warm sun rays on her face. The car stopped and she jerked looking at the Taxi driver, "couldn't you take a soft break. Nothing is in front of you."

"Ma'am your destination arrived." The taxi driver said and Ragini looked at the big mansion. She knows what is waiting for her, taunt over taunts as the people inside the mansion have a weird imagination of living abroad. Like really do every woman has a boyfriend just because she lives alone? So typical and low minded people.

Ragini steppes out of the cab, she looked at the driver, who gave her the bags, "Ma'am here." Ragini smiles, she took the bags and paid the driver.

The cab drove away and Ragini was standing right in front of a big gate. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Ragini you can do it. She opens her eyes. A man was standing in front her, "eh?"

The man looked at her, he checked the note he was holding in his hand, "excuse me ma'am, is this the house Kapoor?"

Ragini frowns looking at him, "and you are?"

"Sorry, Laksh," he forwarded his hand to shake it, but Ragini refused it, "no need to shake my hand. Yes, this is the Kapoor house, why?"

Laksh shrugs, "my friend told me I could work here, his name is Kabir."

Ragini nodded, "yeah, a wedding function is going on." Ragini looked at him, "take my bags." She shows behind her. He must be a waiter or servant there is no other job left.

Laksh frowns, "ma'am, who are you?" Does she thinks I'm a servant. Shit maybe I'm one. I don't want to be one, have to bow to everyone and everyone's wish. I hate this.

"I'm Ragini Kapoor the elder daughter of the house you are working for." She turns to her bags with a smirk on her face, "so carry my bags inside the house." She makes a step forward and passed him, he was looking at the amount of bags. What the fuck...

Ragini smiles, she looks at the back and looked at him, "oh mister! You can call yourself very lucky that it's me and not one of the crazy people inside of the mansion."

"What!" Laksh was visibly shocked, "crazier than you?"

Ragini blinks with her eyes, "do I look crazy to you? I'm just comparing your current situation with me than with the others." She was angry it was shown through her face. This idiot can be happy that I'm taking him in otherwise everyone would start to order him. Do this do that... poor guy he would become the personal... Ragini was thinking. Personal man? She smiles with shiny eyes. Perfect idea and he isn't looking that bad, but I have to keep his friend away from him.

Laksh was carrying the bags and passed by Ragini, as she was dreaming about her plan.

Laksh reaches the big door of the house, he pressed the door bell and a servant opens the door.

"Good afternoon." An elder woman said and Laksh smiles, "good afternoon. I'm Laksh Khanna and I come here for work. My friend Kabir gave me the address."

Laksh was amazed by the big interior design, all was modern, stylish and expensive. Gosh I can rub the house and no one will miss anything as they have everything in triple amount.

The elder woman asked him to come inside the house.

There was a horn sound and Ragini broke out of her trance. She searched for Laksh, who was inside the house. No! Ragini cursed herself and stamped to the house.

Kabir came and took him to the owner of the house, "Sir, this is Laksh, I told you about him."

Ram Kapoor, the industrialist and owner of the mansion was looking at the bags Laksh was carrying on his shoulders.

"Sir, these aren't mine. They belong to your daughter, Ragini."

They all were happy to hear her name, "Ragini!" All were looking at the door to see her coming inside the house, she was murmuring something under her breath, no one could understand it.

"Ragini?" She was called by her father, the strict yet loving man, who always gave her equal love like his own daughter.

Ragini looked up, "Papa!" She rushes to him and hugged the giant man, he was big, but cute like a teddy bear.

Ram hugs her back, "you know we missed you so much. How is your life in America?"

Jiya heard it and rushed to her, "Ragini!" She shouts loudly and wakes up the rest of the sleeping neighbours.

"Jiya," Ragini hugs her and they started to talk about here and there.

"Ma'am?" Laksh looked at her helplessly, "your bags?" He shows on his hands and shoulders.

Rehka the mother of Ragini and Jiya laughs at him, "well Ragini, even through you might not have a boyfriend you can make every man crazy for you. That poor guy, how long should he carry the weight of you bags?"

Ragini smile faded. Thank you Maa, well done! You didn't give me the chance to make a story of a fake boyfriend. Damn it.

"Mom what are you saying. I'm sure Ragini has a boyfriend." The man, she hates the most said it. It's was none other than Karan, the fiancé and to be groom of Jiya.

Someone had to speak on my defence, why him?! Couldn't it be someone I like? Damn it.

"No, I'm happy single and right now everything should be concentrate on Jiya." Ragini said to change the topic. Finally I had a chance, but I don't want to be grateful to him at any cost.

Karan smirks, "what Ragini has no boyfriend how is that even possible?"

Laksh looked at the guy and felt wrong vibes from him, he put the bags down and moves his hands wildly to stretch them.

"Ma'am where should I carry them?" Laksh looked at her and she frowns again, "at my room!" She said annoyed to him, obviously the room where else. But he was trying to get her away from the confrontation.

"Maybe you should show me, it's my first working day."

Ragini nods, "come. Jiya I'm coming you tell me everything what I have to do."

🤣

There was a laugh to hear again from the same person, "you don't worry miss Universe you don't have to do anything. We all know how unlucky you are if it comes on wedding. Did you even had a boyfriend in your past?"

Kabir too felt bad, "Laksh don't do anything, he is the groom." He whispers into his friends ear as he could sense the anger of Laksh.

Laksh looked at Ragini, "Ma'am!" He shows on his hands and she pouts, but made the steps to her room.

Ragini was going ahead, she went up the stairs, she was angry on Karan. Stupid asshole, I know why I hate him, he has no sense of sensibility. Such a jerk.

Ragini opens the door to her room, she entered the room and Laksh followed her. He silently placed the bags on the ground and left without a word.

Strange man....
Poor woman...

Laksh was introduced to the others and he got his work, he was responsible for the drinks at any occasion of the wedding. He got to know that they will celebrate the Mehndi in the evening what pissed him off. Shit I have to handle women that too drunken ones, how much I hate it. Laksh had seen many women in his past, who had lost the control over themselves. How much he hates it as he always got offended by them. I know I'm cute, but it doesn't mean I'm available for everyone. He shrugs the thought away and went out of the house with his friend.

"Kabir, what is this?" Laksh was pointing on a small tents at the backyard of the house, he saw how men and women were separated and could change their clothes. It was their changing room.

"Well that is our sleeping place, as long as we are working for them, we have to be available 24/7." Kabir told him and Laksh widen his eyes, "what?! Have you gone mad, I'm not going to sleep in a tent with other men." He shook his head wildly.

Kabir smiles, "Yaar we have our own place. Come." They went near the tent and he found a sleeping place with enough space for him. If I wouldn't be for my sister then I would never have done this. Laksh got clothes to wear, a white shirt and black bow tie, vest and pants.

Ragini places her stuff into the cupboards, she was pissed because of Karan. Such an ass, I hate him. What the hell is his problem with me? We don't have a connection however he always tries to defame me. Ragini needed too cool down, she took a towel and went to take a shower.

Laksh was in the kitchen, he was preparing the tray with drinks, when Ram came inside, "oh Hey Lucky."

Laksh shrugs, "Sir it's Laksh not Lucky." He said looking into his eyes.

"Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts, could you please make a coffee and bring it up to my girl? She usually drinks chai here, but I guess she got used to coffee. Would you?" There was authority in his voice.

"Sure Sir, I will make the coffee and bring it her." Laksh turns to his tray and removes the drinks, he made the coffee and rushed upstairs.

Laksh knocked on the door, but there was no response, he slowly opens the door to check the situation. All safe! He went into the room, what he didn't saw, he was followed by Karan and Jiya.

Laksh put the cup on the bed side table and was to leave the room, when the doors opens.

Ragini comes out in a towel with wet hairs, from the main door, Karan and Jiya came in.

Ragini fumes looking at them, "what the hell are you doing here?" Laksh points on the coffee, "Sir sent me, why they are here I don't know."

His gaze was lowered and with the tray he covered his view and then he went to Karan and covered his view, "she is your sister-in-law have some shame man." Laksh left the room without wasting more time than needed.

"Jiya take him out!" Ragini shouts and Jiya apologised to her, "sorry Ragini. It happened by mistake. I just wanted to tell you that we will be meeting at 6 pm for the Mehndi function. Be ready." They left the room and Ragini slams the door.

Argh this asshole I hate him! Oh that other guy was so and Karan, I swear if he comes my way again I beat the hell out of him.

Ragini took her clothes and changed it. She was wearing a modern lehnga, it had the usual blouse and skirt, but no shawl instead it was having a big vest coat.

(Google image)

Ragini wasn't wearing much makeup or jewellery, she doesn't needed it and her simple look was the prove for it.

Ragini comes down, she was looking at the huge crowd of guest. Damn all are celebrating together aren't they gonna separate Male and Female? Wish it would be an orthodox wedding I don't have to face Karan. Ugh!

Laksh was serving the drinks to each and everyone. At least now the women won't be that drunken and will hopefully know their limit. I don't know why, but that man is giving me wrong vibes, there is something wrong with him and that Ragini?

Ragini was standing behind him, "don't you have to work? Why are you standing here?" She said and Laksh frighten, he almost lost the balance on the tray, but thankfully he could prevent it on time.

"Jesus you scared the hell out of me. What the hell is wrong in your family?!"

Ragini got confused, "what you mean? Do I look like a monster that I scared you? And what about my family?" She comes dangerously close with a fist, "oh Madam, first your father, who scared me from behind and now you. Stop this! I don't like it to be called from the back."

Ragini looked at the tray, "may I?" She took a shot and gulped it down. She shrugs for a moment and looked at him, "I will need more so stay close!" She said to Laksh and he nodded at her.

Laksh was kindly following her, she sat next to her sister and was watching how a Mehndi artist was applying the Mehndi on her hands.

"Wow Jiya, looking so beautiful." Ragini was side hugging her, just then Karan came, "oh wow Jiya looking gorgeous, my bride." He day to Jiya's other side and was side hugging her too.

Laksh saw that, "Ma'am your drink!" He was holding the tray and shows with his gaze on it. Ragini smiles. Saviour! She stood up and took a glass, "let's dance?!" Ragini said and a group of girls were made, but Ragini was hiding not dancing. Gosh I need a drink, I hate dancing and I'm not good in it. Ragini was searching for Laksh, but he was missing. Where is he?

Laksh was inside the mansion, he was refilling his tray with fresh drinks and was looking at the purses and wallets, which were lying in front of him openly. They are actually inviting me for a rob, really they have no sense how to keep their stuff safe. Laksh was happy, he could steal a little bit, but not from the bride only from the guests. It's their own fault.

After awhile Laksh comes out with fresh drinks, when his gaze fall on a very drunken Ragini, she wasn't in her control and a stranger was holding her from back, she was saying something to him, but Laksh couldn't understand it. Maybe I should help her, that guy doesn't look friendly.

"Ma'am?" Laksh calls her and she smiles, "Laaaaaaaksh..." She stretches the name and saw him, "that is Laksh, he is a waiter, but he is also a thief." She starts to hiccup and all looked at him.

"Ma'am sorry, but I haven't stolen anything." Laksh said with a great acting showing innocent through his eyes and voice.

Ragini shook her head, "not material stuff." She said and moving to him with her groggy legs, "stolen is the wrong words by the way. I meant to say you earned my..." She was thinking while resting her head on his chest, "trust!" She said after having difficulties on sorting out the words in her mind.

Laksh smiles, "trust?! Okay fine. If you trust me then let me take you to your room. You need rest." Laksh gave his tray to the stranger, "here serve it to the others, who can handle it." Then Laksh lifts her in his arms and found Ram behind him, "damn!" He frighten again, "what...?!"

Ragini completed, "fuck, you were right!" She remembered the talk in the kitchen.

"Sir, I know where her room is I will drop her and come back immediately." Laksh left from there with her as she started to cuddle with him. She was blabbering to herself as he wasn't giving her any heed.

They reached the room, he carefully placed her on her bed, shaking his hands, "you know what, you are very heavy." He complaints and she shook her head with a pout, "no, look at my waist!" She shows him and he was loosing the control, "no!" He shook his head wildly, "I'm not interested. Besides you don't move."

Laksh places one of his knee on her bed, the other one was still on the ground, he lifts her to make her sit and slowly removes the vest coat, "Hey!" She was hitting him, but he didn't mind, "let me check what the guy did."

Ragini stopped, "haan did something." She rested her head again on his chest, giving him the allowance to check. Laksh saw that the blouse was open, he closed it and placed her with care on the bed. He took her duvet and covers her fully with it. Ragini was sleeping tight and Laksh could leave without making any noise.

It was the next day and she woke up with a heavy headache. Shit what had happened last night? She was looking around her room, but she was alone. Ragini sighs of relieve. Gosh if there would be someone unknown then I would have lost what I have kept save for the one, no way. I have to be more careful. Ragini changes after having a long shower, she was sitting at the dining table and having her food with the others.

No one was talking about the incident of the last night, as they don't wanted to embarrass her.

Ragini was lost in her thoughts. I don't want to lose the dance battle against the groom side, I know this Sangeet will always be a competition of the two family sides. Ugh!

Ragini hits with her fist on the table, all were shocked and looked at her.

"What happen Ragini, do you have your menstruation?" Her mother said in front of a full house.

Ragini couldn't believe it, "have you lost your mind?!" She stood up from there and left the hall without finishing her breakfast.

Ram looked at her, "why are you doing this? Ragini has her impulsive feelings you know that, then why you insulted her?" He shook his head and was about to go behind her.

"Wow you can dance!!!!" Ragini was shouting, "come with me! Your job is done here now you will work with me." Ragini was jumping like mad and dancing weirdly.

She pulls him in, it was Laksh, who had shown some steps to his friend and Ragini saw that.

"We will beat the groom side with your dance skills." Ragini was beyond happiness. She dragged him into her room, "we will start with the rehearsal now." She made him sit on a chair.

Laksh shook his head, "I have to earn money. Let me go!" He stood up, but she pushed him back on the stool.

"You will get 1000! If you will show me the dance steps." Ragini said with a determination that he got scared. What will I do with 1000 rps? I need much more for the wedding.

"Okay 1500 I can't give you more!" She said and he looked around her room. Such a cheapo stingy!

"Please!!!" She was begging and he agreed, "fine show me what you can dance." Laksh said and was looking at her belly dance.

"Stop Right Now! You can't dance this, they will go mad and there are some +50 years old men they would get a heart attack. Follow my steps." Laksh did some easy steps for, she was happy they were doing good together. He didn't misbehaved or touched her wrongly, he stayed calm and kept the distance.

Gentlemen....😍

It was late and they all got ready, Laksh was in his waiter outfit, but Ragini gave him a coat to wear, "here, this will complete your suit."

Laksh frowns, "what, why?" He was confused, but Ragini made it clear, "you are my dance partner." She stood there with crossed arms around her chest.

Laksh reluctantly agreed to her and the music starts. The groom side was dancing on Ragini's chosen song.

"What the?!" Ragini was fuming in anger, her hands were now tight fists.

Jiya smiles, "Ragini you will dance on my song. This song is chosen by Karan's Cousin Gaurav."

Ragini shrugs, "who cares, who he is, but it is my song. We practiced on it." She was pouting and trampling with her feet.

Gaurav comes, "oh Ragini you can dance with me on the song?"

Ragini shows her palm, "oh please who are you? Stay away I don't need anyone of the groom side. I have my partner with me." Ragini looked at Laksh, "gosh what a stupid song it will be?" She moans and Jiya felt bad.

Laksh shook his head, "Ragini, let's hear the song first. Don't judge like this." He points on the upset face of Jiya and Ragini felt bad, "haan correct. Come on Jiya play your song!" Ragini shouts and Jiya smiles shortly.

In a short time the song was played.

🎼 aaj hai sagai sun ladki ke bhai m, aaj hai sagai sun ladki ke bhai
jara nach ke hamko dikha
aaj hai sagai sun ladaki ke bhai jara nach ke hamko dikha
kudi ki tarah na sharma kudi ki tarah na sharma
hay tu meri gal maan ja tu meri gal maan ja
sabko nachau nach nachke dikhau aa mujhko gale se laga
sabko nachau nach nachke dikhau aa mujhko gale se laga🎼

Ragini made a face, "what the hell! I'm your sister not brother!"

Laksh closed her mouth and starts to sing, "aaj hai sagai sun ladki ki behen, munde ki tarah na Sharma meri gal manja...."

Ragini's eyes were shining so were Jiya's they were dancing gracefully and perfectly together that they win the dance battle as they were also singing it.

It was late in the night Laksh was at the backyard alone, he was smoking and Ragini comes from the back, "Hi Laksh." She said calmly not to scare him like before, Laksh turns to her, "afaat itni shaant {A tornado without power} what happen?" He looked at her, but she seems to be normal.

"I'm happy that I won, now I want to know something from you?"

Laksh looked at her, "we cleared 1500 when are you going to pay me?" He asked a little bit harshly and she pouts cutely, "I wasn't talking about the payment. Tell me something about you. I mean you know everything about me, no one loves me besides myself."

Laksh starts to laugh, "the only person, who doesn't love you is your mother everyone else shows concern and love for you, but you are ignoring it. I have no idea why, but this Gaurav loves you, maybe you once rejected him?"

Ragini shook her head, "I don't know him, really. I'm not their real daughter. Papa, Ram Maamu is my moms brother, he took me in after the death of my parents. What about you?"

Laksh shook his head, "nothing, I have a sister I look after, then I have parents, who don't love..."

"Ya love is something surreal I don't believe in love Well I never fall in love before. Now I think it's possible."

Laksh was confused, "whatever I have to sleep. Tomorrow is the wedding and don't forget my money." He left to his tent and went back to her bedroom, she tried to sleep but was thinking if him only. Damn is this love? I could be I don't know? I have find out more about him. Yes!

The wedding was ongoing with full man and woman power, everyone was helping and adjusting. Ragini was with Jiya, "Jiya, when did you knew that you love that jerk Karan?"

Jiya looked at her, "Ragini, he is not a jerk. I know he misbehaves with you sometimes, but only because I told him I love you more than him. Now he is trying to push you but you are strong enough to handle it, but why you asked? Oh my God has my sister fallen in love with the cute waiter?!" Jiya teases her and Ragini blushes, she told her about her inner feelings and his affections while his presence, she can be herself and he isn't scared to correct her.

"Ragini you are in love!!!" Jiya said, "the next wedding is yours!" They hugged each other.

They came down and the scenario was going on. Laksh was getting punches from Gaurav, "hey stop that!" Ragini shouts and comes to his help, "what are you doing and why are you doing this?" She pushes Gaurav away and looked at the bleeding nose of Laksh. She took her shawl and was about to clean it, but Laksh pushes her away.

"Ragini he stolen the jewellery from Jiya's set. The earrings are missing." Gaurav said to her.

"Yes, I am a thief, but I haven't stolen anything from the bride. I stolen the money of your guest, I mean come on they have plenty of it, but never w jewellery from Jiya." Laksh confesses his crime, but not false allegations on him.

Ragini looked at him in disbelief, "you are a thief? No you can't be one. You are working here honestly, then how can you be one?" Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Because I'm a thief, but I haven't stolen any jewellery from anyone." He shouts and Ragini frighten seeing his anger. She went through her neck and misses something badly, what she had forgotten the whole time while she was with him.

Ragini rushed up into her room, she checked on each and every cupboard she had, but nothing, her mother's chain was missing, anger was growing inside her, she ran down to him and starts to slap him, "where is the chain of my mother. Give it back or I will sent you to jail!"

Laksh didn't understood anything, he let her burst out on him, but he keeps saying, "I don't have it!"

Ram had called the police, "it's my daughters wedding and you have created such a scene here. Inspector take him away."

Ragini was crying bitterly, she lost her mothers last memory and her first love turned out to be a thief.

Laksh was in jail, he was questioned about everything, but he remain silent.

The wedding of Jiya and Karan took place, while Gaurav was smirking, he was hiding the earrings. Finally he is gone and won't return. How had known that he actually is thief, but now Ragini will be mine. Since college I like her, but she never noticed me. Now all will change.

Ragini was upstairs, she was lying on her bed crying badly. Love is stupid and I'm stupid too. How could I fall for a fraud like him?

There was a knock, Ragini sniffs, "come in." She said with a broken voice and her father entered the room.

"Oh Ragini, my poor child." He sat on the bed and caresses her back, "Ragini we will get the chain back, you don't worry." He was consoling her, but her heart was just paining, it was broken in many pieces to heal it would take a lot of time.

Ragini hold the pillow tight, "I love him Papa, but he broke me and my trust. I will..." She felt something under the pillow and removes it, her chain was intertwined between her fingers, "Papa?" She turns with the chain, "He is innocent!" Ragini was looking at her father there was a plead and he understood, "come we will get him out of the jail." Ragini nodded, she wipes the tears away and they went down.

Gaurav saw them, "Ragini?!" He was trying to stop her, but she just glared at him, "he hasn't stolen the earrings, right?!" Ragini pushes him, he felt on his bottom and the earrings fallen out from his coat.

Ram glares at him in anger, "Ragini come!" He knows his daughter very well, she would go behind him, till she would reach him to kill.

"Laksh is waiting!" Ram said and Ragini stopped not to go further.

"Haan Papa, will he forgive me?" She asked.

At the police station

Laksh was sitting in the cell, he was alone and the questioning had stopped, Ragini and Ram met the inspector.

"Constable take the lady to cell number 5, the wedding thief." The inspector said.

Ragini didn't liked it, "he is a thief, but not a wedding thief." She huffs away from there and was lead to Laksh, who wasn't giving her any heed.

"You again?" Laksh turns away, "Just pay my money you owe me. After this your father won't pay me, so you have to pay the dance lessons. The inspector will give you an address go there and give it to Rhea." He didn't turned once  and sent her away, Ragini felt bad, but she got the address from the inspector.

Ram and Ragini drove to the address, it was a big house, a function was going on.

Ram frowns, "a wedding?" Ragini nodded, they entered the house. A servant come and asked whom they want to meet.

"Rhea?" Ragini said the name and the bride come, "I'm Rhea and you are?"

Ragini looked at her from tip to toe. Please don't be his fiancé. "I'm Ragini and this is my Papa. We are here as Laksh sent us."

"Laksh bhaiya, where is he?" She was searching for him.

"Bhaiya? He is your brother, well he is in jail, but don't worry he will be soon out. Right Papa!" Ragini glares at him.

Ram pouts, "I tried, but the inspector said he can't be out. He is caught for the third time, this time he has will be sentenced."

Ragini widen her eyes like Rhea, "No!"

They looked at each other, "Laksh is my half brother I'm the illegitimate child of his father, who had refused to pay for my wedding and he is the reason, why bhai become a thief. He disowned him and now bhai is trying to get the dowry for my wedding."

Ragini looked at her, "where is your fiancé let me talk to him. Asking for dowry we can file a case against him."

Rhea stopped her, "it's not my fiancé but his parents as I'm of this rich house, they should give something for me."

Ragini fumes, "in this envelope you will find 1500 dollars exchange it in rupees and you will get a good amount. Not huge but good enough to throw it on their faces. And where is the father?" She asked.

Rhea introduced Ragini to her father-in-law, whom she clearly said her opinion.

"He will never asked for a dowry again!" Ragini also hit him with her heels, then she met the father, "you will release my future husband or I will make your life to a living hell. Defaming you isn't a big thing."

All loves their reputations...

Back at Jail

Laksh looked out she was there again, "now you will be free!" Ragini said and Laksh shook his head, "I don't think so." And just then the door opens, she hooks her arm in his and hold him tight.

"You are mine now!"

Laksh was shocked, "you bought me?" He said and she shook her head, "no, I love you."

Laksh rolls his eyes, "oh okay. Let's see for how long...."

Epilogue

Ragini was in America, she was alone sitting near the beach. I wished he had loved me back, damn it is love not written in my destiny?

Ragini was back, she tried to convince Laksh to love her, but he didn't, he never felt the way she was feeling for him. Ragini stayed in India for 2 months, she took a work break for the first time and then she returned alone.

It's been 4 months now she is back in New York and she feels alone. Maybe I should call Papa and talk to him. He has always the best advices for me or maybe Jiya? No, she is pregnant I don't want to disturb her with my problems.

*DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG*

There was a continues ringing of her door bell, "coming!" She shouts irritated and opens the door in anger, "who?"

Laksh was standing there in front of her, "Hi!"

"Laksh?" She was surprise and happy, "what are you doing here?" She still couldn't believe it and tipped him, just to be sure he is real.

"I was here for business, since you talked to dad he kinda changed." Laksh said waiting for her invitation to come inside her apartment.

"Come in." She said.

Finally. He thought and smiled at her.

Laksh and Ragini were sitting at the balcony, "so business haan?" She asked giving him the coffee, which he immediately spited out.

"Yuck! Do you wanna kill me?"

Ragini pouts, "I'm not good and I won't change!" She was upset, he told her many times he isn't liking her way of living total chaos.

"Good you shouldn't change for anyone!" He was missing the chaos in his life, he comes near her, "finally it happened."

Ragini looked at him, "what?"

"Love...!" 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Lots of love and lots of baby's...
