Sumi: of course i did. I wasn't about to let you ruin my daughter's life. And laksh he is anytime 1000 times better choice for my daughter than Nikhil ever would be.

Ragini : but how...?....

Laksh :And that my little princess is how mumma and dadda got married.

Ragika: but how??

Laksh : remember.....

Laksh : okay. Don't worry. I promise you that you will not marry Nikhil or anyone except for me.

Ragini : uh huh.

After talking with Ragini, Laksh was really tensed. He needed to do something or else he could loose Ragini forever. And he sure as hell didn't want to. Not now. Not ever. But he couldn't think of anything to do. Nothing. He sat there with his palm on his forehead trying to think of something but couldn't. And thats how Sia and Ryan found him.

Sia: hey, what's wrong?

Laksh : i talked to Ragini...

Ryan : everything okay? Because you seem really tensed.

Laksh : no nothing is okay.... Nothing is effing okay.

Sia: why what happened?

Laksh : she is getting married.
(sia and ryan looked at each other shocked and then back at laksh)
Or rather her father is forcing her to marry. And me.... I... I don't know what to do.

Sia: well sitting here and talking is definitely not the solution..

Laksh : but what should I do?

Ryan: lets go to India...

Laksh : ya that we have to do. Lets go pack...

Sia: wait idiots.... Shouldn't we have a plan of attack..? Or something....

Laksh : we should. But what?

Raksh: so what was the plan of attack?

Ragika : yes...yes..... What?.... What?...

Laksh(sighing at his overly excited daughter) : i am reaching that part of the story. Wait...

Sia: wait.... Firstly we need help..

Laksh : and i know exactly whose....

Laksh took out his phone and started searching the contact list.

Laksh dialled the number he has been trying to find. The caller picked the call up after three rings.

Laksh : finally about time you picked up. Or i was starting to think you were ignoring me.....

Voice (laughing) : can never ignore you ass****.......

Laksh : yea?

Voice: yea... I mean you are afterall my jiju....... Or was.... Whatever....

Ragini : laksh if we are both going to be dating.... I need you to be friends with Karan.

Laksh : Ragini....

Ragini : please... For me...

Laksh : okay...
.
.
.
Laksh :hey karan....

Karan: hey(confused) do you need something....?

Laksh : I'd like for us to be friends... Since I am your best friends boyfriend and you are my girlfriends best friend. We should be at least friends..

Karan: i agree.... Jiju...

Laksh (laughing) : karan.... I am still your jiju and need your help in becoming your jiju by law...

Karan(seriously) : what do you mean? Do you mean that you want to marry Ragini..

Ragika: oh my god..... You took karan uncles help....

Raksh: yes..... Our favorite uncle.

Ragika: he helped you both to get married...

Raksh: i am so happy.

Ragini(chuckling) : yes... Yes... It was your favorite uncle....

Laksh (playfully) : first it was only my wife but now kids too have started karanism(karan favoritism)

Laksh : yes...

Karan: are you serious? Cuz if you are joking, I'll kick your ass for the sake of my best friend....

Laksh : i am damn serious... Serious about her and this marriage.

Karan: well you were always serious about her. But about damn time you became serious about marriage too. I am happy for you...

Laksh : well there's a slight problem..

Karan(curiously) : what?

Laksh then went on to tell karan everything about that happened from three weeks to last one day. Everything.
Well maybe not everything. But almost.

Karan(chuckling) : well you called the right person....

Laksh : how?

Karan: i can smuggle us both in the wedding venue as I am her best friend after all. And Sumi Aunty will be able to get me inside... But...

Laksh : but what?

Karan: after that what....?

Sia: after that you both can elope.....

Karan: no...

Ryan: why?

Laksh : since she already eloped once, second time will damage her reputation... And i don't want that. Not for her....

Sia: i know what to do....

Laksh : what?

Sia: groom exchange......

Raksh/Ragika : yeahhhhh....... Exchange...

Laksh : why are they so excited..?

Ragini : they are curious.... And its good...

Laksh : why is it good? Eshhhhh... Hey...... You two keep it down. You will wake baby Rysa up.

Raksh/Ragika : sholly....

Ragini : its good to be curious... Laksh... I am really glad.........

Karan: Laksh i am really glad you two are back together...

Laksh : yea.......?

Karan: yea.... She spent so much time being upset after you two broke up. It was like she lost her sunshine, her happiness and everything. And for the longest time I blamed you. I really did. I mean you hurt my best friend after all. First break up and then relationship with kavya. Breakup ruined her. But that relationship broke her. And you and I we both know it takes a lot.... Like a lot to break her. So please take care of her.

Laksh (with tears in his eyes) : i will. I promise you and myself that I will take care of her more than I take care of myself. A lot more.

Karan: i know you will

Laksh : you know i love her

Karan: yes..... I do... so.... When should we meet....?

Laksh : we will be taking the first next flight today. And will meet you tomorrow.

Karan: and then?

Laksh : lets see. Ryan......

Ryan: the next flight is in two hours..... And i have booked us the tickets.

Laksh : great.... So right now it is 10 meaning our flight is of 12 so we will reach Mumbai by tomorrow.....

Karan: 4'o clock or 5'o clock. Meaning we will still have day for Raginis marriage to happen. Should we contact her?

Laksh : no. Let her be surprised...

Karan : thats true....

Laksh : anyone who can help us?

Karan : her mother will.....

Ragika: i love nanna so much...

Raksh: me too......

Ragika: she is amazing....

Raksh: she is so good....

Laksh : and my story is still not over....

: hey laksh.....

Laksh looked to the side to see Karan standing with a woman who was none other than Raginis mother.

Laksh : hey karan......(looking at sumi) hey aun.......

Sumi: call me mom....

Laksh (smiling) : mom..... So you will......

Sumi: help you? Yes....

Laksh : why? I thought you hated me........

Sumi: never. Its just i was worried for my daughter. I mean you are afterall a boy and thats my baby girl. So I will want to protect my baby. But then I will always no matter what choose you for my daughter.... Always.....

Ragini : mummaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sumi: what?...

Ragini: i have something to tell you...

Sumi: what?

Ragini : there is this guy and......

Sumi: and....

And Ragini went on to tell her mother everything about her and Laksh taking in her reaction...

Sumi: okay....

Ragini : okay???!!!

Sumi: i mean your father and i had a love marriage. So i will give him a chance...

Ragini : really?

Sumi(smiling) : yes.. but are you sure that he is the one....? That he won't break your heart..

Ragini : no mumma. He won't.... But papa...

Sumi: i will take care of him when the time comes..

Karan: he will keep her happy... Aunty....

Sumi: i know karan. And if you trust him for my daughter then i do too. I will see you all tomorrow at the venue. Give me a call before you reach... I should go... My daughter doesn't feel safe at her own house anymore... So...

Laksh : mom.....

Sumi(smiling) : dont worry. I know how to take care of my daughter....

Laksh : mom.... Bless me...

Sumi: always.... And Laksh...

Laksh : yes mom....?

Sumi: you broke my daughter once. Unintentionally but you did. Do not do that again. I cannot see her living like a dead girl....

Laksh : i wont aunty...
.
.
.
.
.
Laksh :at least we will have her support...

Karan: she always liked you.... Not around the time you hurt her daughter...

Laksh : i am glad...
.

.
.
.
Sumi(whispering on the phone) : where are you people?

Karan: we are right outside the venue...

Sumi: stay there.... I am coming to get you...

.
.
Sumi: lets go before Shekhar comes.... What are you guys planning to do....?

Laksh : they will hold nikhil away... While i will be in the grooms place marrying Ragini.

Sumi: okay..... Thankfully shekhar is not aware of the betrayal....or else he would have flipped.
Go now.......go....
.
.
.
Laksh : i guess this is the grooms room. Lets go...

The three of the boys barged inside while sia stood outside guarding the door making sure that no one gets inside. They attacked Nikhil and tied him up on the chair. While Laksh got dressed and got down for the marriage...
.
.
.
Ragini : how...?

Laksh : telling her the whole story....

Ragini : ohhhh.....

Ragika: ohhhhhhhhhhhh..... Smart dadda.....

Laksh : i know.... I know...... And thats how i married your mumma.....

Raksh: i love this story....

Ragini : we know baby.... We know..... Considering the amount of time we have told you guys this story during your bedtime...

Laksh : but why this story??

Ragika: because your story expires us.....

Laksh: what.???

Raksh(laughing) : ragu.... You mean inspires you?

Ragika: yes. That raku........ That....in....pir...that...

Laksh(laughing) : oh thank god...... You old lady.... Good night....

Ragini : good night kiddos....

Raksh/Ragika: good night.......

Ragini (smilingly) : thank Laksh......

Laksh : why?.....

Ragini : because of you i found a place to belong.... I found a home...

Laksh : well in that case.... Thank you too....

Ragini(coming near Laksh) : why??

Laksh (circling raginis waist in his hands) : because you gave me my home. You are my home.

Ragini(with their lips almost touching) : well then i guess..... We found our home. In us....

Laksh (leaning in) : uh huh.....

Finally kissing each other......
