Hi guys, I will be updating zeal of passions.

Story till now in brief :-

Ragini marries Sahil. But their marriage breaks just within 4 hours of their marriage as Ragini spots Sahil romancing his girl friend Kavya. Ragini never had any relation with sahil.

And, Laksh happens to marry Kavya on the same day just few hours before Ragini's marriage. Kavya creates a big mess in the room as if Laksh was forcing on her. With this, her parents blames Laksh and takes away Kavya, their marriage too breaks.

So, their 1st marriage left out a tragedy with no sweet moments.

Ragini and laksh gets married after one year getting divorce from previous cheating partners.

RagLak comes to Germany on the business work as they are CEO and chairman of the same company respectively. Now.. story is going on in between them.

So, hope I'm clear with story.

Now.. story line in.. Past mode.

PAST

A movie theater..

A tragic scene was coming in the movie. Laksh was watching the scene normally. He looks at Ragini and surprises to see, her eyes are getting wet.

Laksh soon gets up from the seat and starts leaving..

Ragini follows him, getting amazed.

"Laksh.. why did you come out in half way of the movie??"

"Because, I couldn't see you in tears even for imagination..."

Says Laksh and Ragini looks on...

Later, they go a library on Ragini's request as she loves reading books. Laksh just looks around bored. Ragini sits at the table after taking a book. She leans into the book. Laksh roams around and sits opposite to her.

"It's really boring. I don't like reading much..!" Laksh says, Ragini just says "Shh.." and she involves in reading.

Laksh keeps playing with a paper weight getting bored and it falls off his hands suddenly. All the people in library looks at Laksh at once as the sound was reflecting in whole library. Laksh gives a fake smile and bends down the table to take it. He was searching the weight and looks at Ragini's legs.

She was wearing 3/4th skirt, and she has crossed her legs. Laksh looks at her soft and creamy shins. His hand raises to touch her legs, but he fists his palm and beats his head.

"what am I doing?" he thinks and sits back in his position..

Ragini was silently reading her book. Laksh mind was not in control. He moves his feet near to her feet and makes a soft move on hers.

Ragini makes her eyes big in gasp and she looks at Laksh. He looks at her in, 'what happened?' manner.

Ragini gets annoyed and looks back into her book.

Laksh now deliberately throws something on ground again. Laksh bends down again and watches her legs.

"How soft they are??" Laksh thinks and without any knowledge, kisses her feet.

Ragini shocks and at once gets up while shouting "Laksh..!"

Laksh gets up suddenly and his head hits to table. "ouch..!!" Laksh gasps touching his head and looks at her.

Ragini looks at him disgusted and leaves the place..

"Ragini.. stop please.." Laksh follows her.

Whole library was watching them.

While, she is going away Laksh holds her hand and turns her back to him.

"Ragini... listen.."

Rag:: don't say sorry now for your stupid things..!!

Lak:: I LOVE YOU

Ragini makes her eyes big in amazement.

Lak:: I don't know from when? But, it's true.. I want to be in love with you.. Ragini..

Ragini frees her hand.

Rag:: don't put name of love for your attraction..!!

Laksh sighs, "Ragini, I said I love you. I didn't ask you to love me. And..." Laksh says and moves near to her making eye contact with her.

"It's damn love not attraction..!!"

Ragini takes a gulp. Laksh thins his intense eyes and suddenly hugs Ragini shocking her more.

"I love you so much Ragini...!!" Laksh says.

Rag:: Laksh.. I'm sorry but,

Laksh breaks the hug while Ragini saying something..

Rag:: I can't start a relation with you..

Laksh looks on..

Ragini turns other side and her eyes are occupied in grief waters.

"Yes we have married each other. But, it has happened after failure of our first marriages. It's not like I remember sahil still or like that..!! I literally hate him..!! But, I'm feeling like... it's a sin to get into second relation..!!" Ragini says.

Laksh comes closer to her.,

"What rubbish you are talking Ragini..?? Why don't we deserve a second chance when we are failed at first..!! Moreover, you never loved Sahil and I never loved Kavya. We never had any relation with them. Our marriages broke just after few hours Ragini..!! We never took at least one step in that relation.."

Laksh is saying.. Ragini looks at Laksh..

"Laksh, I would have actually never married you again..!! I have to marry you because I gave promise to my father. And, I guess you did the same..!! And, we also had bond on this word on our marriage day itself naa Laksh.."

A tiny flashback

After marriage, RagLak are talking...

Lak:: Ragini ji, I think this marriage is just for our elders.

Rag:: I know. It's just to make them happy. I may can't start any relation with you..

Lak:: even me. Let's remain as married friends..!!

Both of them untie their ghat bhandhan and Ragini goes away to her parents house and Laksh to his house.

Laksh comes out of that memory.

Lak:: Ragini...!! It was past..! Because we didn't have feelings for each other. And, we were still in those bad memories of us..!!

Rag:: so, you started feeling for me now..??

Laksh looks on..

Rag:: but, I haven't still Laksh. And maybe, I could never..!! and, I don't want to fail again after failing once..!!

Ragini says and keeps going away...

Laksh looks on..

Next day,

Laksh comes near Ragini and says,

"Let it be Ragini.. can't we be friends now?" Laksh says and she looks at him.

"Until we become partners..!" Laksh says slowly.

Ragini looks at him in 'What' expression.

"Friends..?"

Laksh forwards his hand.

Ragini smiles and gives him a hand shake.. both keep smiling looking at each other.

(You guys imagine your favourite song here, I'm imagining.. "Hey badulu cheppave" a telugu movie song)
Bcz, the lyrics will be apt to the situation.

So, the friendship starts between Ragini and Laksh in this way..

However Laksh is still loving Ragini just waiting for her love.

Same in the situation of song..,

"Ninne ne.. adigedi..
ennalle, nalligedi..?"

(He is asking the time to show a way about their relation. How many days he has to suffer in this confusion??)

While the song is running in background,

some scenes happen inbetween them..

"Love happens only once. And, it happens.. it will be forever..!!"

Ragini says while eating ice cream looking at some mountains.

"Yes. And people don't realize it easily..!!"

Laksh says and she looks at him.

They keep talking normally everyday but a silent war sometimes runs inbetween them.
And more than the war of their thoughts and feelings.. simply war between mind and heart..

Like that two weeks passes,

That is the day when Germany company says their collaboration with Maheswari company. If they say Ok, Laksh's problems are solved completely.

They are at the meeting place.. Laksh is looking nervously tapping the pen on file.. and Ragini pressing her palms..

"After seeing the design structure
We agree to collaborate with Maheswari group of companies..!!"
a man says..

And, as soon as listening to it.. Laksh stands up and claps his hands along with all others..

The chairman of the opposite company comes and gives a hug to Laksh.

Ragini who is clapping her hands with happy tears in her eyes looks at Laksh happily.

"I'M THE WINNER..!!!"

Laksh shouts loudly holding a wine bottle in hand.

Ragini keeps looking at Laksh smiling, who are standing at a hill area.

Laksh takes a sip from bottle and wipes his tears,

"Papa, see.. your son has won..!!" He shouts again.

Laksh comes near Ragini.. she was just looking at him without blinking her eyes.

He holds her hands..

"Thank you for being with me Ragini.."

Laksh says with his drunken voice..

"Friends doesn't say thanks Laksh.." she says.

Then suddenly he hugs her. Ragini remains silent.

He was just showing his gratitude in that hug. Ragini smiles and pats his shoulder..

But, Laksh being drunk already.. he was little out of control.

Ragini struggles to take him back to hotel and to his room.

Laksh was just murmuring whatever comes to his mouth.

"Laksh, people really can't tolerate your happiness or sadness..!! Whatever it is, you are intense in everything..!!"

Ragini says and makes Laksh sleep on bed.

Before getting up, Ragini's nupital chain (mangal sutr) stucks to his button.

Ragini will be removing it.. Laksh murmurs..

"Ragini.. please love me Ragini.. I love you so much.."

Laksh says in sleep. Ragini keeps looking at him and stands.

"Ragini.. stay with me.."

Laksh murmurs and hugs a pillow tightly and he wraps his legs around that pillow.

Ragini covers him in comfortor. She looks at Laksh's peaceful face after a long time. She don't know why, but she feels to pull his cheek..

She pulls his cheek and rubs his head.

"Sleep happily Laksh. You deserve all kinds of happiness. You are the lone army who fought for your father. And, I will be beside you forever. But, just as a friend.."

Ragini says slowly and looks at the door. If she goes out, Laksh can't close the door. So she closes door from inside and she stays in his room itself.

She sits in a rocking chair beside the window. She slowly goes into sleep...
