Hi

So story starts with a big house a beautiful girl is sitting at the windowsill and looking out of the window. She was looking to the moon. She looked at her hands, which were decorated with a Mehndi {Henna} design.

It is Ragini, she is the bride. It is the last night of her bachelorette life, she is going to marry her love. Ratan...

Ragini was waiting for that day for quite long. She is very happy about this as it was her only wish to marry the man of her dreams.

Ragini is a very calm personality, but she can be furious too.

But whoever is watching her, knows this very well. Yeah she is watched by someone. But why?.

The person was hiding in the dark, waiting for his moment to attack her. But why?

A shadow appears in front of her window. She first didn't react on it, but then again, she looked up and found him.

"Laksh?" Before she could make any noises, he put a cloth on her mouth, which was soaked with chloroform. He knew it very well that her window would be open in the night. He is well prepared, standing on a ladder and carrying her down on his shoulder.

Ragini you will pay for your betrayal. I will show you what real love is and what is fake! You are the reason of my state, but this is nothing in comparing, what I will do with you.

Laksh abducted Ragini, he brought her to a nearby temple he has organised a priest for the wedding.

The priest was scared, "Boy is she unconscious? Have you abducted her? I can't make the marriage ritual while she isn't in her sense, it's a crime and a sin!"

Laksh didn't cared, he took out a knife, "Do what I say or I will cut you in pieces!"

The priest scared seeing the knife, he fulfilled the rituals even if Ragini was unconscious Laksh was doing all by himself. He filled her hairline and made her wear the nuptial chain, he carries her into a hotel.

Ragini slowly gains her conscious back. She hold her head still feeling dizzy. She was trying to reconstruct the evening, "Where I am?" She asked in a sleepy tone voice.

Laksh was staring at her, "Hello Mrs. Ragini Laksh! How do you feel now?"

Ragini startled hearing his voice, "Laksh!" She sat on the bed and looked around the room. "Laksh what you did to me?" She holds herself in fear.

Laksh shook his head, "Stupid girl I love you! Why would I do something without your permission. But ya I will make you pay for your betrayal!" He said to her in rage.

Ragini was shocked, "Laksh my betrayal I have never loved you! I always loved Ratan why don't you understand it. You are behaving like a stalker!" She was shouting at him, but he shook his head, "Me and stalker no Ragini I'm the only one who truly loves you! I will prove you the fake love of Ratan, of your father, who is more interested in money than you and the love of your so called friends! You played with my emotions! Now I will play with yours!"

He stood up and come closer to her. She scares and moves at the bed backwards "Laksh please don't do that" She was pleading at him with tears in her eyes.

Laksh made her stand by pulling her hair, "Ragini better you won't move or else I might do something wrong!" Ragini was scared she cries silently.

Laksh pushes and she hits with the wall, "Let's see how much they love you!"

Laksh ripped off her clothes little here and little there. He bend down, he took his knife and made a cut into her skirt.

Ragini was shouting, "Laksh no!!"

He stood up with a smirk, "I could do it with my mouth, but I won't. Like I said I won't touch you without your agreement."

He hold her tight and his hands were on her waist he pinched her to make a mark. He hold her hand tight just to leave his hand marks on her.

He moves backwards, "I will make one call and you will be home with your 'fake' love!"

Laksh really made a call and informed them, where they will find Ragini, he took his jacket and gave it her and left from there before her family arrived.

Ragini was crying and trying to hide her bare body. Just an hour later they reached, she could their call, "Ragini!"

Ragini, who was crying on the ground looked up, "Ratan!" She stood up, happy seeing him, but the way he looks at her was confusing her, "Ragini what...?"

He moves away from her just then Shekhar come in, "Ragini my child...?"

He too looked on her and moves backwards. Ragini shook her head to explain the situation "Ratan Papa, please no he didn't touched me! He just showed!"

Ratan shows his palm, "Chi I don't want a used one!" He left from there. Ragini couldn't believe it, Shekhar looked at her in disgust, "Ragini come!"

Ragini was broken the way Ratan behaved with her. He didn't even listen to her once and now her father too, the way he looks at her not even trying to protect her.

They all went home and Ragini was in her room. She changed her clothes and saw the hairline and her neck. She remembers his words. Hello Mrs. Ragini Laksh. He married me, but when and how?.

She come down and was shocked to see that all the arrangements of the wedding were cancelled, "Papa what is this?"

Shekhar didn't gave her a glare, lSumi! Say that girl she should go to the man she married and has spent the night with. We don't want to hear her lies!"

Ragini got shocked, "Papa what are you saying! Please trust me I'm pure, untouched!" She tried to talk to them.

Shekhar glares at her, "Get Out of my house now!"

Ragini couldn't believe her ears, "Where should I go?"

Shekhar hold her arm and pulls her to the door, "I don't care where you are going! Just get out from here!" He pushes her out of the house.

Ragini was like a lifeless body. She was walking her way, when a motorcycle stopped next to her.

The man took off his helmet, "What happened Ragini did they show you love? They showered you with love? Understood you? Tell me! Did they trust you?"

Ragini looked at him. He gave her his helmet and she wore it. She sat behind him and he drove away.

Laksh stopped his bike in front of a small cottage. He stood off it and opens the door, "It's not big, but enough for me! Hope you can adjust with it?"

Ragini enters it, she looked at the cottage and saw a bed, one bed. Laksh went to the small kitchen, he made a fire and made a chai, "Ragini, here it's not the best, but drinkable!"

Ragini took the cup, "Laksh you did this all to take revenge from me! Why? I never loved you!" She said it to him in a calm voice.

Laksh looked at her, "Wasn't it you, who called me for a date. You played with my feelings being a middle class man. You and your friends made jokes of me still I forgive you! I saw you with Ratan and I saw his dirty gaze, he never loved you! Come on if he did then wouldn't he have listened to you once? Wouldn't he be with you fighting for you? And your father he likes business and reputation more than his only child! Ragini you might be rich by money, but not by love! You have never seen real love! I will show you what real Love is!" Ragini scared for a moment, but Laksh just took a pillow and lied down on the ground.

(He is lying alone on the ground)

Ragini turns away, she lies on the bed and cries into the night remembering her college days with Laksh.

He used to tease and prank her as they were friends, but he was having more feelings for her than she was having for him.

On day her friend Swara suggested her to go on a date with him, "Swara what are you saying, I can't go on a date with him. I don't love him and I don't want to give him false hopes!"

Swara rolls her eyes, "Uffo Ragini please don't be like this. You two are mature and can handle it! If he wants more then say him clearly you are not interested!"

Ragini thought about it, but she wasn't sure yet she thought Swara is right. She could make him understand it.

Ragini met Laksh in the canteen, "Hi Laksh! How are you?" She sat opposite to him.

"Hi Ragini! I'm fine and you?" She smiles placing her hands on the table resting her chin on them, "Me too! I'm okay with the 'date' if you still wants to?"

Laksh smiles and the way he smiled gave her goosebumps, "Haan Ragini! Of course I want to! Tonight?" Ragini nods and left from there.

In the evening they met and spent the time together. Both were at the park and resting on a duvet.

"Ragini I love You!" Ragini looks at him, "Laksh I know you do, but I don't have the same feelings for you! Please don't put pressure on me!"

Laksh nods, "Ragini it's okay I'm not angry with you! I told you my inner feelings to accept them is up on you! I can't force you!"

Ragini smiles, "Laksh thank you!".

They remained friends, but soon the gossips starts and Laksh got defamed. Swara was making fun of Laksh, "Uff Laksh what happened did Ragini refused your love? Poor man thought big, but never forget your status!"

*Hahaha* he become a joke, but he didn't mind it.

Ragini come to him, "Laksh I'm so sorry. I don't know what is going on, but trust me I never did this!"

Laksh looked at her, he saw her eyes and the hidden pain in them, "Ragini it's okay. But tell me why don't you love me, because I'm poor?"

Ragini shook her head, "No Laksh, money doesn't matter for me! Even if you would have nothing, I would have accepted you, but Laksh I have a boyfriend. Well Papa chose a man for me. Ratan and he is very sweet and kind. He cares for me fully!"

Laksh nods, "But even I would take full care of you! If you would give me a chance!" He was trying to prove himself, but Ragini didn't understand.

Ragini looked at Laksh. I wasn't lying Laksh money doesn't matter for me! I will do my best to adjust with the situation. You have shown me the reality of my 'love' ones.

The day passed by and Laksh was doing daily the same Chai and biscuits.

Ragini pouts, "Laksh I can't eat this anymore! Don't you have something else. I mean can't you make something else?"

Laksh shook his head, "No Ragini, I can't, but I can give you money, then you can go and buy food! Do you know how to cook?" Ragini shook her head, then Laksh saw her waist.

"Ragini! Didn't you put first aid on it?" He stood up and searched for ointment. He comes near her and was about to apply it, but she moves backwards, "Laksh it's not because of the injury! I have scratched it because my skin is dry!"

Laksh looked at her from tip to toe, "Wait!"

He vanished, it took him an hour to return, but he come with clothes. As he remembers she come only with one dress, which she is wearing now for more than 5 days.

Ragini opens the shopper, "Thank you."

She was under the shower it was cold very cold! But she didn't mind it. Laksh you shower also with cold water, right? Even I will do it and won't complain.

She comes out freshened. Laksh had left, but he had put money on the table.

Ragini took it and went for shopping.

She didn't know, where to go, so she went to the mall. She enters some of her favourite stores just to remember herself that she can't effort it.

Ragini was in a supermarket. She was buying the vegetables for the food, when she collides with someone.

"Uff can't you see?" The voice familiar to Ragini she looked up and saw Swara, who was shouting at Ragini.

Ragini smiles, "Swara? You here? How are you?"

Swara rolls her eyes, "Oh Ragini I got to know about you... poor you... well... Uhm... my fiancé..." Just then Ratan come and back hugs Swara.

Ragini widen her eyes, "Wow that opens everything, yuck!"

She turns her face and felt disgust. He doesn't love you!. Yes, Laksh was right. He never loved me and Swara, she was never a friend of me. All are selfish! Only Laksh, he was never like this.

Ragini was about to pay the amount, when she saw a book, 'Easy basics of cooking!' Ragini smiles. She bought the book and reached home.

Laksh come and smells the food, "Wow Ragini that smells amazing! I thought you can't cook?"

Ragini looked at him, "I can't, what doesn't mean I can't try it! I bought a book and now I'm cooking. Take a seat!"

Laksh nods and sat in the chair, "Wait Laksh! Go wash your hands and face. Then sit!"

Laksh smiles. He vanished into the washroom and did as ordered.

"Laksh what is this?" She was standing there holding a gun in her hand. Laksh comes anf put it back, "Your father made me fire from my job. I had to take a job to pay the bills!" He took the gun and the money he had, which was a lot and put it in a tiffin of the kitchen.

"Just don't ask me and don't touch it! It's not mine and it's absolutely not like it looks like!"

Ragini didn't know why, but she trusted him, She serves the food and both ate silently.

"Laksh I used all the money and that was the whole food!" Laksh swallows, he coughs, "What?"

Ragini nods. Laksh shook his head and hits his palm on his forehead, "I will do the shopping!" Ragini nods, she stood up to clean the dishes.

In between of her work she looks at Laksh, "Uhm Laksh you were right! Ratan never loved me and Swara was never a friend! You know they proved it!"

Laksh was changing he come out wearing his kurta, which got stucked on his head. Ragini smiles, she come to help him.

"How they proved it! Please tell me everything!" Ragini told him about the incident at the mall. Laksh claps "Wah he didn't waited a week" Ragini agrees.

More days passed and Ragini was lying on the bed, "Laksh I need something!"

Laksh come home from his job, "what Ragini?" He comes near and saw her weak, she was lying on the bed holding her belly.

"Laksh woh, uff I need sanitary pads for now I got something, but I need more na."

She lowered her gaze and Laksh got tensed, "you don't worry I will go!" He rushes to the next grocery store and bought the necessary items. He comes and placed all into the washroom. He took a pot and heated the water in it. He filled the water in the hot-bottle bag and gave it her, "Here Ragini it will help you!" Ragini smiles, she took it and places on her belly. Laksh was caressing her forehead.

Ragini smiles, "Laksh here come!" She gave him the place ans he lies behind her. He hold her tight and she liked it. This is now the daily way he sleeps on he bed always back hugging her. She never turns he has to make the move.

Ragini has fallen for Laksh, no she had fallen for him long time back, but she never realised it, but now she is sure. He is the one she wants only. The one, who real loves her.

Ragini was folding the clothes, when Laksh come home sweating like mad.

Ragini stood up, looking at him jades her fear "Laksh what happen?"

Laksh hold her arms, "Ragini please stay quiet and don't ask much just let them!" He hugs her once, then the door opens and the police enters.

"Laksh you are arrested for the crime of drug dealing!" Laksh didn't protest and the police arrested him. Through a search warrant they checked the house and found the gun and the money Laksh was hiding.

At the police station he was beaten up brutally.

"Say for whom are you working and why you killed him!"

The inspector was beating him, but just then Ragini come, "Stop it! Please Laksh!"

Laksh looked at her, "Ragini...!" His voice was broken and he was weak. The inspector come out, "He killed a man! On the xyz date!"

Ragini shook her head, "This can't be true!" The inspector come closer to her, "We checked the gun the bullets profile are matching to the one we found in the body of the death man!"

Ragini smiles, "Inspector on that date he abducted and married me!" Ragini got the information about the priest from Laksh. He come and the hotel manager come too. All have given a statement that Laksh was there not at the crime spot.

Ragini pleaded to Laksh,  "Please tell them, who is the owner of the money and the gun!" Laksh shook his head, "I can't, he is the one, who supported me, when no one was there!"

Ragini hold his hand, "Please Laksh for me!" Laksh couldn't deny her wish he spoke that the old man of the pan store gave it him. They arrested him he wasn't angry on Laksh. Even he didn't killed the man he just witnessed it and recorded it and kept the gun as a save deposit. He shows the recording and they could arrested one of the biggest underworld goon.

RagLak reaches home, "Ragini, how could you trust me?" He was hurt his body was paining, but more than his pain was the pain she was suffering. She couldn't see him like this, "Laksh please don't talk much..."

She took a paste of Ayurvedic and applied on his wounds,  "The neighbour gave it me for you! She said it will heal your wounds faster!"

Laksh smiles, "Say! How?" Ragini looked at him. She blows air on his wounds and applies the paste.

"I saw it in your eyes the moment you said me don't ask just let them do! Laksh you have taught me, what is right and what wrong. What's fake and what is real. I have seen Love only love in your eyes and nothing else. You have never lied to me. The way you used was wrong, but it opens my eyes!" She cups his face and placed her lips on his...

4 years have passed now. Laksh has found a new job as Ragini cleared the matter with her father, who has defamed Laksh.

RagLak were still in their cottage they didn't moved as they liked it in minimalism.

Ragini was holding Laksh "Laksh Stop now! Please!" Laksh shook his head, "Not fair Ragini! I want love!"

"Mummy!!!"

They heard footsteps coming toward them. RagLak half naked wore their clothes as fast as possible.

"Raksh Beta what happen why you need Mummy?"

Raksh shows his palm, "Maa I will sleep here with you!"

Ragini nods, "Okay fine!"

She made the space for him "Maa duudh {milk}"

Ragini nods she stood up, "my good boy!"

She made a glass of milk warm for him

"Papa hug!" He demands and Laksh hugs him "no not from back!" He said.

Laksh moves to Ragini's side, "Laksh that is my side!"

Laksh again moves to his side. This time he turns Raksh. He giggles, "you are like your mom!"

Ragini come back, she gave him the glass of milk, he drunk it and fall asleep between them. RagLak were looking at each other.

"I can understand why you want one more!". Laksh smiles, "So you ready?". Ragini nods.
