Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie.

Betrayal. Betray. Betrayed.

Liars.

Betrayal.

Lies.

This is all Ragini thought about as she sat in front of the mirror crying. She looked at herself and sighed for what seemed like nth time.

She looked beautiful there was no doubt about that but this beauty came with a price she was not ready nor willing to pay. She sat there with tears in her eyes. Not being able to do anything about it. She thought about how she got herself landed into this situation. And again with anger she realized it was because of lies.

This was all a lie. All her life she has been lied to. Her parents have always lied to her. But she did not think they would stoop so low with their lies.

Even when she was a child her parents would lie to her that they would make it on her birthday but never did. They would again lie saying that they would see her next day after her birthday but never did. They lied to her about their intentions to get her married. They lied to her about everything.
Every fucking thing.

But to think that they would stoop so low was even beyond her. She wouldn't have ever imagined her parents doing this.

But then again they are businessmen and they could go to extreme levels to get or complete their deals. And she with a heavy heart realized for god knows how many times in her life that she, she was a deal to them. Not a daughter.

She again looked at herself in the mirror and realized what a bad game her fate was playing with her. Its every girls dream to be a bride someday. To sit like this all beautiful and happy.
Ya you heard it right. Bride. She was sitting in front of the mirror dressed as a bride, she looked beautiful but this dream of hers was now turned into a nightmare.

She was to get married today and that too to a guy she hates. She was so alone against her entire family.

Everything was so good two weeks back. But three days ago she got a call that changed everything for her. And maybe others too. Maybe for Laksh too.
Laksh.... Laks... Got only thinking about brings tears to her eyes. They were so happy. They were finally going to have their happy ending. But she forgot that she was not a princess, a daughter of a king. She was the daughter of the business man. And Laksh was not a prince. He was a guy her father disliked. And this... This was her life not a fairy tale. Not a fairy tale. And this life did not always have happy ending.
But at least she had her happiness for a little time. She did. God she was so happy. They were happy. So very happy..

Flashback :

Sia: thats so sad.

Ryan : but you still stayed friends. Right?

Laksh(looking at Ragini with soft smile) : ya. We always find our way back

Ragini (looking back with a soft smile) : ya. Always.

Sia: what are you guys not telling us?

Laksh and ragini smiled looking at each other. It was a shy and yet mischievous look.

Ryan: cmon say it....

Laksh : we... We... (clearing his throat) we are together.

Sia: what really?

Ragini (smiling) : really....

Sia jumped and gave ragini a tight hug while Ryan patted Lakshs back.

Ryan: this calls for a celebration.

Ragini : yes. It does.

Everything just seemed so good to be true. But it was true. The last two weeks were the best weeks of her life. They spoke soft words of love. They whispered words of love. They even screamed words of love. But now that won't happen anymore because she was becoming someone else's. Her parents played their game. Played with her feelings. With her emotions. They played with her. They played her. And she like a fool let them. She still remembers the day her parents game started.

She had woken in His arms because of her phones constantly ringing. She woke up and looked at his hot body. He looked sexy even when sleeping and even with a slight drool 🤤 it's not fair. She smiled at him as she wiped his face clean. She was busy staring but was disturbed because of the ring. She sighed and picked up the phone before it disturbed lakshs sleep.

Ragini: hello

Voice: hello

Ragini: hello dad
Ragini was confused as her dad sounded distressed. And he never sounds so.

Ragini : dad what happened?

Shekhar: your mother... Ragini.... She had a heart attack. A major one.

Ragini was now in tears.. She was crying.

Ragini : i am taking the next flight to India. OK.?

Shekhar: yes, beta come fast.

She moved frantically as she looked for something to put on her very naked body before she packed her bag. Yes. Naked body. Very naked body. Her frantic packing woke lakshs up. He watched her in daze as she ran around the whole room to pack her stuff. Which was a lot less. Since she hasn't unpacked yet. She has been her only for three weeks now. Almost three weeks.

Laksh: hey, what are you doing?

Ragini(mumbling) : packing.

Laksh(confused) : why?

Ragini(loudly) : I am leaving for India.

Laksh got up from the bed so fast that he may have had a whiplash. Ragini looked at him confusingly but soon her soon her confusion turned to sadness as she saw tears in his eyes.

Ragini (softly and holding his cheeks) : I am not leaving forever. I will come back.

Laksh : why are you going back?
Zzz
Ragini (sadly) : my dad called. My mum had a major heart attack. I need to be there with her...

Laksh (softly) : want me to come with you?

Ragini (snorting) : and give her another heart attack. No thank you..

Laksh chuckled hearing this.

Laksh:  I'll come till the airport.

Ragini : for that you need to put a lot of clothes on.

She said point at his body making him look down and then look up embarrassed.

Laksh (ruffling his nape) : sorry...

Ragini : no... No... No problem. Nothing new anymore.

Laksh (sadly) : I had so many plans for today morning..

Ragini: me too Laksh. Me too. Even though I am very sore. But I still did.

The night they made love for the first time and possibly the last was the best and the following day was the worst.

Laksh had come back home when he saw ragini dancing in the rain. Not dancing but enjoying the rain. He knew she loves rain. He had seen her dance before too. But this emotions never invoke in him. Before their love was all innocent and sweet but now it's that and everything else. Every touch they have brings a fire within him. And he is quite sure that same happens with her too. Because he has seen her eyes fire up when they are close. Her heartbeat fasten up. Hed breath hitching. But none of them ever made a move. Because we'll she is shy and he is not going to do anything without her asking for it.
Ragini notices him moving towards her in a daze. He looks so hot with the rainwater going through his body. His body which is almost visible because of the light shirt that he is wearing. She cannot control herself anymore. She might as well take things to the next step. Tonight.
He stopped in front of her. Both looking at each other without blinking, without moving..
Soon they were on each other. Their body pressed together. Their chest pressed. Their lips pressed. Their hips pressed. They were two bodies made one. They didn't where one ended and other began.
Soon they were moving inside the room still pressed together.
They were pulling and pushing each other.
Clothes were been thrown all through the room.
Moans were heard only.
Soon they were naked.
They were on bed.
They were kidding each others lips.
They were kissing each others bodies.
They were finally one in true sense.
There were whispers shared. Whispers of love.
There were names shared. Names screamed.
And they were together.
