Ragini was now living with Laksh under one roof for more than a month now. Everyday is a new challenge for, but she is trying to find herself in her new life with the help of Laksh.

Laksh was working on his file, when Ragini entered the room, in her hand she was holding a cup of coffee, "Laksh where are you?"

"Ragini on the bed," he put the file on the side table and waited for her.

As usually he was on his side, when Ragini him the cup, "Laksh, here drink. Some energy through caffeine will help you."

Laksh was smiling at her, "thank you. He took the cup and started to drink the hot content, Ragini sat on the bed, exactly on his feet.

A noiseless shout as he burnt himself, Ragini what is wrong with you?

"R.. Ra," he gulps, "Ragini I have to change."

Ragini frowns, "change, but why?" She was confused, but then Laksh moves a leg and she jumped up from the bed, "Laksh, I... I'm so sorry. I just didn't thought."

She was nervous and Laksh could feel it, since a week she is behaving strangely, "it's okay Ragini. I just need 5 minutes no stress." He stood up, taking clothes to change and left, he kept his word and returned within 5 minutes.

Ragini was playing nervously with her shawl, Laksh had noticed it many times, but whenever he tried to talk about it she refused or changed the topic, even now she is ignoring his questions.

"Laksh," she yawns fake, "I'm tired, good night."

Laksh shook his head, "fine good night." He put his pillow on her side and tried to sleep without one.

Ragini first didn't got it, but then her hand felt the difference, "what is this?" She asked touching the pillow unknowingly what it could be, "Laksh?"

Laksh looked at her, "a pillow?" He said, "I don't want you to fall."

Ragini fumes, "I don't need your pillow!" She shouted for the first time in their marriage life, "here and dare you to do this again." She turned away and tried to sleep.

Laksh felt bad, was sitting on the bed, the light was on and he was staring at her. Please Ragini talk to me. There must be something wrong with you. Laksh slowly moved over her, he checked if she is sleeping or not, he was sure she was sleeping, he again placed his pillow on the edge to keep her safe.

He readjusted his arm as a pillow and was trying to sleep, soon he doze off but his sleep didn't last long.

Ragini was crying bitterly, she had fallen down from the bed, she was shocked, "La... Laksh?" Her cry made it hard for her to speak, she sniffs loudly, "Laksh? Laksh..." she cries further and Laksh heard her.

"Ragini?!" He looked around, switching on the light, he couldn't find her, "Ragini?!" He stood up and looked around the bed, where she was holding the pillow tightly in her hands, her cry was aching him.

"Ragini?" His voice was low, for the first time he had seen her broken, he felt bad and sat next to her, he slowly enclosed her in his arms, "Ragini, Shh I'm here please stop crying."

Ragini looses the grip on the pillow and hugs him, "Laksh I fall," her voice was shaking so was she, "I... I don't fall. I was haunted by nightmares only, they stopped and now I fall." She was breathing uncontrollably.

Laksh holds her close, he kissed on her head and lifts her, "Shh Ragini, I'm going to place you on the bed now, don't worry I'm there for you, just trust me and tell me, what is bothering you."

Ragini shook her head, "nothing Laksh, after the marriage a lot had changed. Even my nightmares had stopped." 

Laksh knew that, she always says this, 'everything is fine', but it's a clear lie.

"Listen Ragini, I know you are Blind, but you can feel and hear it, when there is something wrong."

Ragini didn't liked the way he was talking to her, she wanted to say something, but he he stopped her.

"Ragini enough. I'm not Blind, I can see it that there is something wrong with you. Everything was fine, I remembered how you asked me to go out and buy some stuff."

Ragini hold him closer, she burrows her face into his chest, "I know this was a very beautiful day."

"Laksh, listen Laksh, please."

"Uff Ragini I am listening to you, just tell me what is it?"

Ragini was looking at Laksh very cutely, she asked him, "can you please take me out for shopping, I would like to buy some books and even a new dress."

"Wow a new Dress, sure come."

Ragini fumed, "what you mean?"

Laksh shook his head, "nothing Ragini, we also will buy you books and I have a surprise for you."

Ragini widen her eyes, which were filled with a bright shine, "really a surprise for me? Tell me."

"No, first your books and dress, after that."

They left from MM and drove to bookstore, who also has books for blind people.

Ragini was going through the books, she was inhaling the fragrance of them, even Laksh took a book.

"Let's Go Ragini, now your dress time."

Ragini smiled like mad, "haan Laksh, I want a dress in the color of green and blue, if possible backless."

"Very demanding, but you know Ragini. I think I have seen something like this," they were in a mall and roaming around, till Laksh found the dress.

Ragini wore it, "how do I look?"

Laksh was lost, "amazing."

"Really? Is the color right?"

Laksh came from the back, he touched her bare skin, "metallic blue. You look gorgeous," he whispered into her ear.

They reached home and Ragini wanted to know about the surprise, "Laksh you said you have surprises for me, which is?"

Laksh hold her hand, they were back in their room, "you know even I felt you are getting much bored, so I did something to make you feel better."

Ragini frowned, "how?"

"I'm happy you asked, you know you always said I need a study room, well I have one and you got your very own library," he opened a connected door to their room and let her explore the room.

Ragini was so happy, she felt each part of the room. She found the shelf, "my books?" She was surprised and Laksh smiled, "well, I hope I never gave a possibility to leave me. That's why I went to Baadi and got your things."

Ragini nodded, "haan, you are lucky that I'm still with you. Just wait one wrong thing and I'm gone."

Laksh hold her from back, "don't say that..."

"Ragini please don't you trust me? I'm your husband your Laksh, I know I haven't been honest in the past to you, but after our marriage I haven't kept anything from you. Tell me please what is wrong?"

Ragini closed her eyes, "do you remember the day?"

Laksh frowns, "which?"

Ragini sniffs, "I called you," she smiles cuddling him.

"Laksh! What are you doing? Don't tell me you are still on your book?" Ragini stamped in the room around, "I'm wondering what that book is about, if I only could read it, Ugh!"

"Ragini relax, just tell me why are shouting at me and what is it about?" Laksh still concentrated on his own work.

"Uff Laksh I came to tell you to get ready, they are coming."

Laksh shook his head, "who is coming and why?"

Ragini pouted, "you are too much. Wait I'm getting you a towel, then take fast shower dare you to waste the time."

Laksh thought, he widen his eyes, "no, Ragini..." but it was too late.

Ragini opened the door of the cupboard and the towels fall out on her. She was laying on the ground under a mountain of towels.

Laksh rushed to her, "Ragini I'm so sorry," he bend down and searched for her. "Are you okay?"

*Hahahahahaha!* she laughed and took all his fear away.

"Aww Ragini you are the best, why I have to get ready?"

Ragini heard him clearly, she twisted his ear, "I will fold them and you will sort them, but now go and take a shower. The groom is coming to see Uttara, remember now?"

"Oh," Laksh hit his palm on his forehead, "right I'm just coming." He took little time and sorted the folded towels in the cupboard.

They both went down together.

"Laksh how is he looking?"

"I don't know, my eyes are glued on you."

Ragini shied, "please, how he is I want to imagine him."

"No need to imagine him, when I'm there. Do you want to make me jealous?"

Ragini shook her head, "your face is branded in my mind. No one can take this image away."

Laksh smiled, "he is average, his name is Rajat if I'm not wrong and both love each other."

"Haan, they both are in the same college, he is her senior, right?"

"Right." RagLak were whispering all the time.

"I will get some snack and tea," Ragini stood up, she was in the kitchen and prepared everything.

"Rajat what is your next plan?" Sanskaar asked, "I mean after all it's your last year on college any further plans?"

Rajat nodded, "yes, I will join the business of my father. I will be assisting him in his work, you know best. I think you do the same. Excuse me."

Rajat stood up, "washroom?"

Laksh showed at the corner.

"Thank you."

Ragini made her way back and run into him.

"Aah!"

"Ragini!" Laksh rushed to her, he carried her up into the room and went under the shower with her.

"Sshh nothing happened okay. I'm here." The cold water was rinsing over them, slowly removed the shawl and blouse, "everything is fine, I'm there and I have closed my eyes, you need to trust me."

"I trust you Laksh."

They changed and come back.

"I'm extremely sorry."

They all explained him, "no it's not your fault. Ragini is..."

"My wife is blind, but it doesn't mean she is less than us. Next time be more careful."

Ragini hold Laksh hand, "it's okay. Nothing happened."

"Haan what is with the engagement?"

"Laksh I said nothing happened that day, which is true, but he has tried to come closer to me. Please trust me, he is giving me wrong vibes I don't like him."

Laksh was shocked, "what you mean Ragini? Has he done something to you? Did he said something to you?"

Ragini shook her head, "no, it's my inner feeling. Lately things are happening around me. I'm not that lazy and I do remember where I place the things. Even your files you change the material and told me. I learnt it to help you. Then how can it be possible that I can't find it, where I have placed it."

"So you want to say it's Rajat? Has he been in our room?"

Ragini couldn't answer him, he hold her tight, "okay we will talk to them tomorrow now you should sleep."

Ragini was holding him tight, both were sleeping close to each other, she cuddling with him, while he was keeping an open eye on her. If Ragini has a bad feeling on him, then there must be something.

Ragini slowly moves her hand to his face, "Laksh may I?"

Laksh was confused, "whatever you want to do, sure."

Ragini smiles, her hands were touching his face, she was feeling each millimetre of his face, "I don't want to forget anything neither I want to miss anything. You have started to grow your beard, I like it."

Laksh was happy, "Ragini NEVER hide again from me, promise me."

Ragini nodded, "never. I'm sorry." She rested her head back on his chest and finally she fall asleep.

The next morning everyone was there.

"Ragini we will tell them."

Ragini nodded in agreement to him, "okay. Maa?"

They all looked at Ragini, "haan Ragini what happen?"

Ragini looked down, she had the fear they won't trust her, "I don't think Rajat is a good man. I feel something fishy about him."

Uttara stood up, "what the hell!"

They all spoken in his defence, making Ragini feel small.

"Enough!" Laksh shouts and all calmed, "I trust her, if Ragini feels there is something wrong with him then there is something. She won't lie to me or anyone of you."

"Enough Bhai! You are just pity on her and yourself, you have failed in love, but my love isn't weak like yours. And I was ready to fight for your Ragini, but not anymore." Uttara left in anger.

RagLak were upstairs, "Laksh please don't take it to your heart. Your files, I'm in the study room, you go to work. I'm waiting, I don't want to face anyone of them."

Laksh Cups her face, how much he wished to kiss her lips, but he kissed her forehead.

"We will talk later and please eat something."

Ragini nodded and Laksh left.
