Ragini woke up late the day, she was looking at the mirror and found herself dressed. Wait I slept in my robe, who wore me the clothes?

Ragini fears, she looked around and found herself in her room at her apartment. How?

The door to her room opens and she scares, "Who is there! Stay away!" She took the pillow and throws it on the person.

The one caught the pillow, the hands were visible, hairy and muscly, then there was a tattoo.

"Laksh?"

Laksh removed the pillow from his face, "yeah me, whom were you expecting?"

Ragini stood up and rushed to him, a tight huge, which surprised Laksh more than he thought, "Laksh my clothes, who changed them and why are we here at my place?" She broke the hug and looked at him.

Laksh removes her hands, "I make you wear your clothes. We are here because I can't stay there any longer, thought of another place and remembered yours. It's close to the hospital." He turns away after giving her a short explanation of his doing.

Ragini looked around. Oh he has lifted the blinds. I don't know, how he is watching me, but he certainly does it. Ragini hold her arms, "Laksh?" She searched for him and found him in the kitchen.

"Laksh you know how to cook?" She was surprised that too positively.

Laksh looked at her, "I have lived eight years in America, there was no one to cook for me, I had to look after myself and cooking was one of the few thinks I learnt first." Laksh had cooked the rice, a vegetable curry was simmering on the stove, "you can sit I will bring you the food. It will take some time."

Ragini nods, she moves to the dining table and sat on the chair, waiting for Laksh serving her the food he made.

Laksh was coming, he was holding two filled plates, "here we go that is for you and that's mine. Would you like to drink something?"

Ragini was smelling the food, "mmh wow I wasn't expecting this quality." She looked at him, but he was waiting for an answer.

"Drink?" He asked again and she nodded saying, "anything!"

Laksh returned to the kitchen, he filled his glass with water and gave her a glass of red wine.

Ragini was confused, "are you trying to make me tipsy?" She glares at him.

"What, no! We don't have beer. Actually I saw there were no food, but wine. Thought you would have drinks I didn't checked it before going for shopping, found it out later but didn't had the mood to leave again. I hate shopping." Laksh took a sip and starts to eat.

Ragini finished her food faster than him, she stood up and looked for her purse, "Laksh I'm coming soon, as you know I have a day off, but I need some fresh air."

Laksh shrugs, "Fine go, but get me beer." He said and she frowns at him, "why? So you can try again?"

Laksh didn't answer and cleaned the table. Ragini left the apartment. Stupid me, how could I say this? He has stopped the night and even yesterday.

It's been two hours Laksh was looking at his watch a bit tensed. Where is she? And why is she taking so much time?

Just then he heard the door, someone was trying to unlock the door. Laksh gaze shifted to the couch table, he was working on some files, when Ragini came inside. She saw him sitting there, wearing glasses.

Ragini put the shoppers on the one seater and sat next to him, "what are you doing?" She asked looking at the papers.

"Checking the accounts." Laksh said not looking at her. Ragini took a sheet, she saw the difference, "oh no, that is not good."

Laksh shook his head, "no it's not. I said it I'm a failure in this." He turns to her and saw the shoppers, "what did you bought. You have my beer?"

Ragini bites on her lips, "I forgot your beer. These are curtains you don't like the blinders and I don't like it, if people can see inside my house." She stood up and started to hung the curtains.

Laksh stood up, he follows her just witness, how she was trying not to show her real intentions.

"Ragini do you need help? Is there something you are hiding from me?" Laksh asked her and Ragini frighten her. She lost her balance, but Laksh picked her on time.

"Laksh?!" Ragini hold him tight.

Laksh lifts her to the bed, "what is wrong with you? Why do you have to hung them now, can't you wait?"

Ragini pouts, "I was sleeping and you changed my clothes, couldn't you wait till I wake up?" She always comes with a counterquestion.

Laksh rolls his eyes, "really that is all what is bothering you, that I have seen your body and touched it without your permission. For your kind information, I tried to wake you, but don't know what kind of sleep you have it was impossible to wake you. Before I call an outsider I closed my eyes and make you wear your clothes. By the way who told you to sleep in a towel?" Laksh asked her and she turns her face away.

"Tell me why are we here?" Ragini asked him without answering his question.

Laksh put her on the bed, "I don't want to talk about it." He left the room and Ragini made a fist in anger. No way, I won't leave him this time. I can't trust him, he has to tell me.
