Sanskar rested back in his arm chair satisfied at the evening's menu card "This is why I love you sweetheart." Anya pinched her nose "Eww, don't sweet my heart and get your ass of that chair we need to start now or Lavanya will have you for the dinner with her friends, girls love meat."

She winked back walking and hit into someone's chest, as he held her closer to him she felt numb "Don't worry bhai, Lav is on a diet she won't have fat food for now."

Anya stared at Sanskar trying to avoid his gaze but she could feel his heart beat "Tell your brother jeej's the original fat is him, big fat buffalo."

"I thought I was an asshole."

"Well that he is but I thought why state the existing so I got a new one for him jeej's what do you think will the buffalo's feel insulted?" Sanskar gulped in "Maybe yes?"

Lakshya rolled his eyes still not leaving her "I'm not your personal property get your hands off me asshole" she struggled to get herself free from his grip.

He chuckled turned her to him as Sanskar slowly sneaked out of the hall, she eyed him anger right at the tip of her nose "You hate people whom you love sweet heart."

"No, I'm really pretty clear in my life I hate someone means I hate him to the end. Till my death cos of course you will die earlier then me you see."

"And why is that?" Lakshya frowned "You were born earlier then me so you will die before me right? Logic of equality, plus looking at the sins you have committed you'll die super soon why don't you prepare yourself for your death?"

"Ouch" he made a hurt face and inched closer to her "You want so desperately for me to die may I know why?"

She licked her lips "You really don't know why?"

He shook his head feigning innocence and she smiled "The pain will remind you why" she smirked.

He narrowed his bows wondering "Which pain?"

She lifted her knee up and kicked him hard as he fell back "ow" she winked at him "That pain."

Ragini winked at herself in the mirror "All ready to cook Miss. Ragini" she gave herself a pat on the back and rushed to the "I'm leaving Swara and Maya, enjoy my sisters boring company and never call me unless I call you."

The door shut tight and Maya shook her head handing Swara a cup of coffee "So how's he?"

"He's... " she rolled her tongue "Can we just change the topic?"

"How about the other He? The special He?"

"He's so sweet and Handsome and just like the neighbor of yours" she exclaimed making Maya wonder "Sanskar?"

"Naah! The other one."

Maya smiled "Lakshya?"

"Ahaan!" Swara smiled dreamily "I wish I could be with him 24 into 7 but he's not mine" her smile faded "Nikhil can never be mine... "

As the door to the apartment opened "Tada!" Ragini flaunted her cooking apron not knowing who it was but then her jaw hung open as her eyes roamed from south to north, from abbs to his muscles, his well toned body and then that awesomely sculpted face "Are you from the sun?"

"Han?" Lakshya stared at her as if she were weird "Cos your insanely hot, this is too much to handle dude."

He chuckled and she continued "Mr. Sexy where's your shirt? Either you were feeling too hot before I came or is it me?"

He smirked "You can think whichever makes you feel comfortable Miss.??"

"Ragini Jindhal" pinning the loose strands of hair behind her ear she entered the apartment "I'm here to cook with my Roomie and that akdu! His name is... "

"Sanskar Singhal!" he pointed his finger in the direction of the kitchen "Happy cooking!"

Sipping his drink from his can he went in the opposite direction making Ragini pout "Aren't you going to join us? Oh wait no you can't, I prefer cooking in a bit cooler ambience so thanks for not coming" she left making Lakshya wonder what she was?

"You never told me, that there is a Mr. Sexy staying in the house" Ragini widened her eyes at Anya pretty disappointed who was clueless and stared back at Sanskar then back to her "Do you mean Sanskar?"

Ragini was shocked "Hawww! From no angle please jesus! This akdu and Sexy, kill me baby!"

Sanskar gave her a fake smile "Are we done with PJ's may I know what is this Miss. Touch me not doing here?"

"Touch me not?"

Sanskar touched her hand and she yanked his hand away "Eww!"

"See!"

"Okay okay! Are you both done cos we need to cook before the guests arrive and I'm in no mood to be attacked by Lav and her braggy friends."

"You feel the same?" Sanskar whispered secretively making Ragini sigh in frustration "You know that I don't know your Lav right? I just came here today and" she whispered to Anya's ear "I don't spill secrets!"

"Laters Baby!" Sanskar pushed her away from Anya and grabbed her arm "Off to working, please assign me- "

"Ehm.. " Ragini stared at him "Us our works?" she smiled.

"Okay" Anya ruffled his hair "Wash the vegetables and Ragini, what are you good at doing, chopping, garnishing, baking, frying, - "

"Statue!" Sanskar smirked while washing the vegetables "I'll do anything you want me to."

"Okay, as Sanskar washes the vegetables you can chop them, he'll tell you which ones to dice and which ones to be finely chopped."

"Ohkay!" she walked to Sanskar as Anya set a pan on the gas "Give."

"What?"

Ragini blinked her eyes "Either you give me vegetables to chop or I don't mind chopping you either just tell me how big pieces you want of yourself before I begin cos you won't be able to tell me after."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Naah!" she made an innocent face "It's just your face that reflects on mine when I see you."

Sanskar gritted his teeth and then his eyes landed on them "Fine!" he smirked "They don't need to be washed you can chop them Ragini, finely."

Ragini grabbed the basket "How many?"

"You start and don't stop until I say so."

"Why do I smell challenge here?"

"You haven't chopped them before have you?"

"I take your challenge!" she took the basket and Sanskar turned his attention back to the washing. After some while sobs could be heard, Anya frowned while making the dough.

The sobs became louder and she heard a chuckle, "Am I- " she turned to Ragini "Missing something?"

No response, she took a deep breathe and walked upto Ragini, tapping on her shoulder "Ragini?"

"Yes?" she turned to Anya wiping her tears, while Sanskar kept the vegetables on the counter "I thought you were on a challenge."

Ragini turned back to chopping the onions, sobbing, wiping her tears "Oh my my, Ragu please stop or you'll flood our kitchen."

And now her eyes hurt too, as tears made their way Anya shook her head "Stop!" Ragini didn't and Anya turned to Sanskar "I don't know what you said to her but if she doesn't stop right now Sanskar, I'm leaving the kitchen."

Sanskar wiped his tears and threw daggers at Ragini "Okay Bye- "

"Stop Ragini, challenge over."

Ragini smirked "My pleasure Sanskar!" she literally threw the knife and started dancing "Victory! Victory!"

Anya giggled at her childishness as Sanskar had a pout "What are you? 3 year old baby?" he nodded "Haan?" she giggled as he brushed his hair.

"Now Sanskar please take on the chopping and Ragini, tip no. 1 you wet the onions for a few minutes before chopping them or you can always try eating a chewing gum too."

"Aye Aye captain!"

"Back to work, I want you with me we'll do a lot more better with each other I guess."

It's evening and all the work is done, Ragini sprinkles coriander leaves on a dish with happiness as Lavanya comes in "Hmm... Bhai, Anya you guys are just- "

Ragini stared up at her as she frowned "Who are you?"

Ragini smiled "Ragini, and you must be Lavanya, the one whose friends are coming up for dinner right?"

Lavanya nodded walking upto the fridge "Either you are new in the building or you're here from Bhais, classes."

"Neither, I'm Anya's roomie."

Lavanya spat the water in her mouth making Ragini squirm in her place "You are Anya's what?"

"Room mate, me and my sister Swara shifted her this morning in the apartment and now I'm sharing the room with Anya."

"Hello little sister!" Lakshya kept his arm around Lavanya's neck and she stared up at him "Tell me I'm dreaming, Anya and room mate and what is happening here?"

Lakshya smirked "It's the truth of the current day and if you want me to pinch you to reality- "

"No thanks, I'm going to get changed the girls might be coming please don't flirt with them. It becomes difficult for me to avoid the consequence later."

Lakshya chuckled as she left from there, "So" he walked upto Ragini "What's cooking?"

"Your love story!"

"Han?"

"Just tell me your single" she stared into his eyes and he brushed his hair turning to leave "I'm broken... "

Ragini smiled sadly as he left "Don't worry Mr. Sexy, I'm always here for you. I'll mend your broken heart and make you fall in love again."

"Woah! She turned back to find Sanskar smiling at her "You look like a clown, where did you come from?"

"I just heard love here and I hope you are not at all even thinking of loving my brother. His ex is so wild she'll burn you down and you would later realize that she wasn't even present here."

"Now that was what I call the real woah!" she exclaimed as he walked the same way out "But how did you come inside?"

"How did who come inside?" Sanskar came back in the same way and Ragini frowned "Your soul!"

"Huh?"

"You just came behind from me and left warning me on- "

"On?" Sanskar queried and shook his head "Anyway, the girls are here I want you to help me set these up Ragini."

Ragini nodded as he picked up the starters "I just left with Anya and hour ago to freshen up after you came, I think – " he stared up at her "Congratulations Ragini! You have started dreaming about me!"

"Hain?"

"Yes my girl, be careful or you might end up falling for me." He pouted "And I don't want to break your heart saying I have a fiancé!"

Ragini's jaw hung open as he left from there, Anya came in "What happened?"

"I saw Sanskar."

"Me too! He just left from here Ragini, nice observation!" she patted her shoulder and grabbed another starters "Come I'll introduce you to the fashionistas! You just bring the sauces along okay?"

"Ragini?"

"Han?"

"Bring along the sauces and be quick" she nodded and Anya left "Ragini, you just met Sanskar and now your dreaming about him? Haww!"

"Ragini!"

"Coming!"
