Hi all,

Here you go :

**********

All five were going home and were having different thoughts in their minds. 

Ishaan and Sanskar were thinking of Laksh,  his cool behaviour,  how much he had changed himself. And seeing his behaviour they were happy,  they could see him coming out of his shell.  They were determined to get him completely out and make him the old Laksh he was. Even though he misses his charm,  they could feel the goodness of his heart,  and being his friend,  they know how good a person he is and he doesn't deserve to cry all while and be a mess!!

********

Mauli was thinking about Sanskar, it has been few days that she started observing his changes,  being his friend,  she knows him too well,  she started doubting that he had fallen for Ragini, she isn't sure,  and she was praying this to be not true. Not like she has an issue,  both are her friends,  but what if Ragini doesn't love him back?  Then everything will be a mess and Ragini and sanskar may not be able to remain as friends as they used to.  This was why she was opposing the idea of a fake relationship, what if only one falls in love.!!

********

Ragini was fuming!!  How could he... Laksh. Aarrgh. He is too childish... More than her... In any other case, she would have congratulated him for what he did... But not when she was the target... He didn't do good.. And this means revenge. Yes, the revenge mode is on.. And tomorrow laksh will pay... 

Still, he played a prank on her... This was irritating her... She pouted...

********

Laksh was laughing imagining Ragini's condition. Finally, he got his revenge. Huh,  how can she play such a prank on him.. Revenge was a must. And her fuming face was his reward..it was too good to see her so.

Still, she got him.. Huh... He frowned thinking that...

********

They all reached homes.

Ragini stormed inside and went to Aryan's room directly. 

She knocked off Aryan,  who was doing his dance practice.

(How can I not make him a dancer😌)

Aryan: (irritated) Diiiiii how many times

Rag: Shut up!!  I am so much irritated and I don't have ears for your bickering!! 

Aryan looked at her shocked, should it have been he who must be irritated!

Aryan: Di but,

Rag: I told you not a word more, you have no idea what happened today, that idiot for a donkey, I won't spare him.

Aryan was shocked seeing her anger.

Aryan: Wh,  who di??

Rag: That stupid idiot Laksh. Aaargh, I am gonna murder him...

She left out a furious breath.

Aryan was looking on curiously.

Aryan: Di,

Rag: Do you know what he did today?

Aryan nodded his head in no,  well how was he supposed to know what happened in her college!!

Rag: Oh yes,  but when have you ever known the things you should.  You just to be the ideal kid,  the perfectionist and nothing more.  Kuch na Jano,  yuhi padai our krumping karthe Raho.

She snapped.

Aryan was speechless... !!

Rag: That monkey donkey Laksh Maheswari,

Aryan: Di stop cursing and tell me what happened.

Rag: So you wanna know,  great then hear...

She told him what all Laksh did to her.

Aryan was rolling on the floor laughing,  Ragini fumed even more seeing this. She started to beat him with a pillow.

Aryan: Di,  di stop, okay I won't laugh further.

Ragini fumed again but stopped beating him.

Aryan: Finally there is someone who could prank you. Wow Laksh bhaiya,  here is your first fan... Di. I really want to meet him... Please...

Ragini was a red tomato in anger,  Aryan who got the danger alert ran out of his room,  followed by Ragini.

Rag: Aryan ka Bache... Ruk... I won't spare you...

He ran to the hall where Janki was reading.

Aryan: Ma,  see di...

He hides behind Janki,  Ragini who saw him was glaring him and Janki who saw that started glaring Ragini.

Janki: Ragini,  enough,  why are you troubling him,  can't you be silent for a while,  why are you always after him.

Rag: Ma,  this time it was not me,

Janki: I don't want to hear anything,  I know like always it would be you this time too... And just look at you,  you reached long back and hasn't changed till now,  go and get fresh,  don't disturb Aru.  Aru goes and continues practising.

Aryan nodded his head innocently and went from there winking at Ragini.

Ragini fumes.

Rag: Ma I agree every time it's me,  but this time it was he.

Janki: that's nice,  finally you are getting it back,  I am proud of Aru,  now go.

She orders.

Ragini opened her mouth in big O,  she stamps her foot and left from there.

Janki laughs seeing her departing figure.

**********

Laksh reached home thinking about his day,  and then he understood why Ragini played the Prank on him,  it was her idea to distract him,  he smiles thinking of her,  she is really a sweet girl. 

He reached his room and looked at the bracelet that was hanging in front of his mirror.

He took it in hand, 

Lak: Today for the first time I was at the receiving end of a prank,  just like you wanted it to be. I so wish you were here.  I could visualize you laughing at me. You know how much I got angry,  whenever you laugh at me... But now... I wish you were there to laugh at me... I miss you like hell... I am sorry... It's all my fault... I know... I wish... I wish... I could change everything... I could get you back... I need you back...

Again his eyes filled with tears.  He kept standing there for a while,  then wiped his tears and came out.

He went to Ap who was praying on her room,  from the time Laksh lost his charm,  she spends her most time in praying. 

Ap looks at laksh when he entered,  laksh smiles at that.

Lak: Ma,  woh,  I, I want to go there.

Ap looks at him shocked, 

AP: laksh but you,

Lak: Ma please Ma,

Adarsh enters in hearing them,

Adar: I think he should go Ma, 

Ap and Laksh look at Adarsh and Adarsh signs Ap to allow Laksh to go.

Ap nodes unwillingly.

Laksh nodes and leaves.

Ap: Adarsh you know,

Adar: I know he won't be able to take it,  but Ma,  he can't run away from his problems,  and my brother is not a coward to run away. He has to face them,  and then if he breaks down,  we are there to hold him,  to support him,  but he has to make initiatives,  it's his fight after all.

Ap nodes,  Adarsh is right,  Laksh has to do it and she will support her son.

Laksh was in the car and when they reached the city,  he asked the driver to stop the car and went to a bakery shop and bought a packet of Chocolate for Ragini.  He smiles seeing it.

Lak: A small gesture from my side for what you have done. I know these are your favourites.

He smiles and got into the car,  the journey was peaceful but his visit to that particular place and encounter with people there was heart-wrenching for him.  Laksh felt very miserable while coming back, half of his mind was upset because of what happened there,  while the other half was happy because he took the initiative.  He was in a complete mess and he was so confused.  All he wanted was to reach his home.

Laksh got into the car and saw the chocolate box,  he took it and caressed it. 

He sighs.

As soon as he got back to MM,  he ran inside the house without noticing that he still has the chocolate box in his hand.

He straight away went to his dad and hugged him and started crying.

Dp was expecting this from the time he got to know where Laksh went.

Dp hugged him back assuringly.

Dp: Laksh,  I know what you feel,  and you are right at your place and what you did today was a much-needed one. Regretting is just the first step,  you have to take measures to correct your mistake,  and to make a better future from the past.  And that's what you tried today, I know It's tough,  it has to be,  but my son is not a weakling,  he will fight this. Won't you?

Laksh nodes,  still hiding his face in Dp's shoulder.

Dp caressed his hair,  and he noticed the chocolate box in his hand.

Dp: Laksh so you brought our favourite chocolate.

Lak: Papa it's not for  us,

Dp: Then??

He asks with a frown,  that was the chocolate which both Laksh and Dp always used to share,  they never have shared it with Ap or Adarsh even. Who is this new one?

Laksh smiles and sits,  Dp too.

He then told Dp about the whole day,  from Sanskar missing the match to him pranking Ragini.

Dp was laughing.

Dp: Finally there is someone similar to you,  you know I wanna meet this girl. She is amazing.

Lak: oh, don't praise her too much,  your son isn't any less. 

Dp: I definitely know that.

The father-son duo laughs at that.

The rest of the night went peaceful.

*********

Next day, 

Laksh was waiting for Ragini at the entrance.  Ragini fumed seeing Laksh,  she was not able to think of the apt revenge,  but no issues. She will think now,  she won't spare him.

Laksh went to Ragini and handed her the box.

Lak: I know why you have pranked on me.  This is a small gift from my side for what you have done yesterday and also for what I have done.

He smiled genuinely and left from there.

Ragini was curious and opened the box.

Rag: Noooo
She pouted.

Her mouth watered seeing the content.

Rag: Damn you Laksh,  this is my favourite chocolate,  now how can I take revenge from you.  How can you bribe me like this?

She was childishly angry.

Rag: I wanted to take revenge from you,

She looked at the box,  her mouth started watering again,

Rag: But now I can't,  I hate you for this Laksh,  but I love love love this chocolate.

She pouts.
