Hi all,

I know I have been taking un an unannounced break from writing.. Now I am taking a announced one.  I would finish off this book soon and then probably would be writing the next year.. Sorry about that,  can't help it!! 

So we are about to end the journey of Complicated Love. 3 more chapters I presume.

Off you go:

**********

It was the last day of their exams and after the exam was over,  Sanskar told them about him leaving,  that too in a weak.

It came as a shock for all the three and Ragini started to feel guilty.

"I am sorry,  this is solely because of me right,  please don't do this Sanskar,  if you wish not to see I would go away,  but I can't make you away from your loved ones". Ragini cried.

Sanskar held her shoulders " Please not even for a second think its because of you,  because it's not.  It's me who started feeling for you,  that has nothing to do with you.. Ans my feelings spoiled our bond.  Now I need it back,  and for that I need a change,  I am doing this because I want to be your Sanky again. Please Rags trust me and let me go. "

Ragini nodded and hugged him. "I will just leave, I,  I need to be alone for a while". And she left.

"All the best buddy. Call once in a day at least ". Ishaan hugged him.

"Of course,  and you three,  do well with jobs". Sanskar wished them.

"You are saying as if you are leaving now!! " Mauli complained and then hugged him.

"What about your packing and shopping?" Ishaan asked.

"Well I hope you know that exams ended today ". Sanskar said bored.

"Shall we go now,  I don't think Rags will be in a mood to come for your shopping and since she is gone and we are free,  I guess we can do this straight away". Mauli suggested. 

"I guess you are right,  we would check on Ragini by evening. " Laksh supported.

"That's me fine by me" Sanskar agreed and thus they went for shopping.

*********

Ragini had gone home. Though she said she needs to be alone the four of them kept thinking of her whole the time.

Aryan found it when he got home as he was excepting her create some sort of chaos as her exams were finally over.  He went to her room to find her sitting on her bed with her teddy on her lap.

He smiles and sits besides her.  "What happened Di? ".

She looked at him. "Sanky is going abroad,  I fe"

"Dare you finish that sentence,  di it has got nothing to do with you. You never told him to love you,  you never led him,  it was his choice,  you can't blame yourself for being someone's choice.  It's his mind,  his feelings.".

"But.. " She stopped.  Not knowing what to say.

"Di,  I know it hurts you to see where your relationship is at present,  but this isn't a fault of either of you.. And this is the age where you feel all these..crush, infatuation,  love and stuff like that" he held her by her shoulder to face her " and my di is so sweet and how can you except Sanskar Bhaiya to not fall for you". He winks.

"Then why can't Laksh love me? " . Ragini's eyes widened as she said,  it was a impromptu.

"DIII??? ". Aryan was surprised.  Well no brother is going to be normal hearing his sister confessing her love.  He took a deep breath.  " From when? ".

"I don't know,  I realised when we sang together,  when he cried infront of me...  I felt like my heart was breaking... I felt like I will do anything to stop his pain... A crying Laksh told me that I love him...  But.. He doesn't even feel for me.. Now that I know he doesn't ... I won't confess ever.. I don't want another pair of Ragini and Sanskar.. I even feel like God is punishing me for rejecting Sanskar... My love to became unrequited...". She sighed.

Aryan was speechless.  Well what could he even say.  He know neither his Di was wrong in loving Laksh noe Laksh is wrong not loving her.  But that doesn't ease her pain and hw hates to see her in pain.

They stayed silent.  Just then Ragini's phone beeped.

Hope you are fine,  stop blaming yourself.  You want the old Sanskar back right.  He is going so that he can be that old Sanskar,  he is going so that he could fix things,  because things had gone awkward because of his feelings for you,  on which you don't have a control.  I would have done the same thing I fell for Mauli,  and I am sure if instead of Sanskar,  you fell for him and he didn't,  wouldn't you do anything and everything possible to make things fine and not awkward.  He is doing the same.  Shall I come there?  Or are you enjoying with Aryan?  Make those special pancakes of your for him,  he won't tell you,  but he liked it the most,  and he ate it all last time because it didn't fell on the ground as he told you.

Laksh.

Ragini didn't know what to do with the message.  Laksh telling her about trying to wase awkwardness has caught her.  She hoped with all mind she could control her feelings over him.

Aryan who knew the state his sister was said " Hmm,  di,  you know,  ots really hard to praise you. I mean like.. What ever good you do.. I can't say that you did great and stuff. But that pancakes were awesome."

That was when she remembered about them. She fumed at him and then smiled when she understood what he did.  She ran her hair through his hair fondly.  "I will make them now. "

She got up,  "Before that message Laksh Bhaiya". Aryan reminded her.

She nodded.

That devil Mr. Perfect.  Thank you for telling me this Laksh,  I am going to make those pancakes now,  I will eat in front of him. Only when he admits that he likes them,  he will get to taste them.
Buhahahah Evil mode on.

Ragini.

Laksh smiles widely seeing her message.  "So today she would pass bickering with Aryan. "

**********

As days passed,  all the five of them started to get moodier.  It was the day before Sanskar's flight. 

Ragini had left her home morning itself. She wasn't feeling alright.  Janki was worried as she didn't sah anything before leaving and neither did she take breakfast. 

By evening she called Mauli asking about Ragini.  Mauli realising the panicking voice of Janki told her that she was with her and they are all together as Sanskar was leaving the next day.  Janki sighed.

Soon after the call she  called others and they started to panic realising she was missing.

"Mauli dont panic,  see we know her,  we know where all she goes.  Let us search for her.  I am sure we will find her in an hour,  if not..." He stopped.  " No we are going to find her in an hour!"

Four of them agreed and decided were to go. 

********

Laksh parked his bike at the bottom of a cliff.  He somehow felt lime she would be on the top.  Soon he was proved right as he found her scooty parked nearby. He visibly relaxed.  Never have he felt this calm seeing he'd scooty.  Immediately he messaged others and told them he would take care of her. 

Soon after he send the message,  he panicked.  It was a cliff!!  He started to sweat,  he took out his kerchief from his bag to wipe it off and found the food he packed for her.  Since she was gone from morning,  he felt like she wouldn't have eaten a thing.  Seeing it he got some courage.

"Laksh,  Ragini is up,  that too alone and starving.  You have to do this.  You panic once you loom down right,  just watch your steps and climb up.  You can do it.  You have to do this for Ragini. "

With much difficulty cursing each step of his,  Laksh the top and saw Ragini,  standing at the end of the cliff staring far ahead. 

"Ragini, what are you doing? " he had panicked seeing her so close to the end of the cliff that he lost his rationality and shouted at her. 

Ragini who was in her own world,  got scared by the sudden the voice,  she turned back quickly but slipped fell down the cliff. Laksh panicked and held her hand.

Laksh started to sweat again. It was same as the situation with him and Adi.!!!
