Hi all,

A very happy teachers day❤️

He was once asked about the connection between Mind and Matter.

His reply

What's the matter?
Never mind

What's mind?
Doesn't matter.

Yes, he will be remembered as one of the greatest teachers ever❤️

*********

Ragini and Sanskar kept crying on for some more time.

Mauli was standing still watching Salak.

Laksh blinked his eyes at her,  Mauli nodded at him and went in search for Ragini and Ishaan. 

Lak: Sanskar,  it is getting late,  we should leave.

Sanskar looked at him.

Lak: You can't go home like this and worry aunty and uncle. We will go to my home.

Laksh held in hand and pulled him towards their bikes. Sanskar was in trance.  They drove to MM.

********

Mauli reached Ragini and Ishaan and saw Ragini crying.  She sighed.

Mau: Rags

Ragini looked at her breaking the hug.

Mau: You are coming with me.  Since your dress is there at home,  it's all fine.

Mauli stressed the dress part and Ishaan got it.

He nodes at her. 

After patting Ragini's head he left to Sanskar's house.

*********

Ishaan took dress for him and Sanskar from their homes and went to MM.

Ragini and Mauli were at her place.

Sanskar was simply sitting without any movement.

Ragini's hurt face was haunting him.  He felt miserable to put her in this situation. He doesn't know how he will face her.  Because of his love,  he lost her friendship too.  And he made her lose her friend.

Why,  why did this happen?  Why did he fall for her?  He couldn't help but blame himself for her condition.

Similar to wad Ragini's situation.

She was sitting on the bed with Mauli.  She hugged her.

Rag: You warned us,  you were against the fake relationship,  but I... Why didn't I realise it,  and when you told me about Sanskar falling for me. I took it lightly... Why was I so ignorant Mauli. Why couldn't I see it... Now, what will happen...  What can I do... How will I face Sanskar, even hearing my name would hurt him now. His heart broke because of me.....  I lost him... I lost my best friend... Mauli I don't want to lose him.. He. He means something to me. But now....what will I do...  I can't... I JUST CAN'T...

She cried vigorously. Mauli couldn't control herself seeing her friend, but for her, she had to stay strong.  She kept patting her head lightly.  After a long,  she fell asleep on her.  Mauli who felt it made her lie down. She patted her again and went outside to call Ishaan.

On the call, Mauli kept crying thinking of her friends.  She couldn't see both like this,  but she didn't know what to do.

Laksh was looking at Sanskar who hasn't moved yet.  It pained him.  He couldn't see Sanskar like this,  Sanskar was someone who always tried to make him,  make him away from his miseries.  He knew it is payback but seeing the situation he didn't understand what to do.

Lak: Sanskar sleep,

He looked Laksh with "how can I" look.

Laksh didn't say anything but made him lie down.  He sat beside him.

Lak: I am not going to sleep until you do.

Sanskar looked at him accusingly.

Laksh sighed,  he knew only blackmailing would work.

Sanskar closed his eyes,  without an option.

Once he was convinced that Sanskar was asleep,  Laksh called Mauli, but the phone was engaged.  Only then he noticed that Ishaan was outside. He sighed,  he wanted to know about Ragini,  but he didn't want to upset Sanskar,  now he was very anxious. 

Ishaan came inside after a while. 

Laksh was anxious and eager.

Ish: Rags slept after crying like hell. She was blaming herself again.

Laksh smiled sadly.  He knew this,  he badly wanted to console her,  but he couldn't leave Sanskar's side and he knew Mauli will take care of her better.

Ish: What can we do now.

Lak: I don't know...  Tomorrow shall we take him out,  something like a boys day out.

Ish: Hmm,  we will have to drag Sanky somehow. I will tell Mauli to do the same. Gosh,  why did this happen?

Laksh didn't know why it happened, but today's incident gave him a lesson,  he saw how to hurt Ragini was,  he badly wants to take her pain away from her.  He always kept telling himself that if Ragini rejects Sanskar,  he will propose her. But now,  he decided,  come what may,  Ragini will never come to know about his feelings.  Not just Ragini,  none will come to know.  His feelings will be kept inside his heart forever. 

*******

Next day friends had separate boys and girls days out. 

Ragini and Sanskar were still at trance,  the other three felt the pain seeing them and also they felt very bad that they had to go different.  This crack in their friendship was killing them. Unfortunately, they could do nothing about it.

The day went by. Sanskar and Ragini remained silent throughout.

Others had to blackmail them to have food and then sleep.  But they lost their appetite and sleep! 

********

Next day:

Lak: Sanskar, shall we go to college? 

Sanskar gave " are you really asking me this" look.

Ish: Come on Sanky you know today is the last working day.  Tomorrow, after the competition,  we will have study leave for finals. This is our last day at college.

San: I.. I can't, I can't face... Her... I made her lose her friend...  You both leave. I need to be alone for a while. I will go home then,

Laksh was about to say something,

San: don't worry Laksh,  I will be fine.  You guys go.

He made both attend the class.

*********

Mauli somehow managed to get Ragini to college. Ragini didn't understand,  but she wanted to meet Laksh.  The day before yesterday after the fiasco, she didn't see him neither heard from him. She was missing him and that was the only reason she attended the college.

Ragini felt peace seeing Laksh approaching them along with Ishaan.  But it didn't last long when she understood that Sanskar is not going to attend.  She felt guilty. 

Laksh who had eyes on Ragini understood her feelings.  He came to her and held her hand. She looked at him and he nodded "No".

Tears made their way out of her eyes,  Laksh wiped them.

They attended the class.  Laksh stayed with Ragini throughout. He was missing her badly,  he was feeling bad as he couldn't be with her till now.  He wanted to run to her and console her but he made his heart calm telling it Mauli is with her.  And he believed Mauli could handle her better. Little did he knew it was he who Ragini wanted. 

One thing he understood,  both Ragini and Sanskar are equally important to him, he can never choose one over the other.

Evening:

They were about to leave home.

Lak: Ragini,  please stay with Mauli today too.  We informed aunty,  it is for the competition and she knew how it matters to you.

Ragini smiled sadly,  the competition was the last thing that was in her mind now.

Lak: And you are going to participate tomorrow! 

Ragini looked at him shocked! 

Rag: No Laksh no,  you are not going to compel Sanskar to participate!  You can't do that! 

Lak: I know,  but I know how much you wanted to win it,

Rag: THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW! 

Lak: Wh.. What if.. (He took a long breath)  What if I sing with you? 

The trio looked at him shocked!
