“Are you sure you don't wanna come with me?” Ragini turned to Diya while they were walking in the hallway. “For the record, I think I have told you plenty of times dear sister that it is the last place I will ever want to go after hell” Diya looked up and then at her sister. “Why does it freaks you so much?” Ragini looked at her sister. “It's obvious isn't it? It's freaky for god sake” Diya shuddered.

“Fine. I will go on my own. Wait for me. Don't you dare drive alone. Alright?” Ragini warned and walked further leaving Diya with a wide mischievous smile on her face. “Like I ever listen to you twin sister” she looked at the car key in her hand with her glittery eyes.

She bounced happily while she reached the car in the parking. “Finally. Baby” she shrieked happy as she touched the car bonnet with her cheek literally hugging it. “You know how much I missed you. Can you believe it for almost a week I have to let Ragini drive you. I mean she treated you like a bullock cart. Didn't she?” Diya pouted cutely caressing the car gently like it will hear what she was speaking.

“Excuse me Ms. Car whisperer. Can you please make it fast? I have to park my car and there is no free spot. And it is crying for help” she narrowed her eyebrows hearing the voice. She turned to see a tall man standing with his serious face. She opened her mouth to retort. But his eyes moved to the right of Diya's car where the spot got empty. He quickly moved inside his car and parked it beside Diya's car.

“Oh my god wait...” Diya kept yelling but he did not listen. “I had to take my car out” she complained as he got off his car after parking it. “You literally took forever to convince your car to move” he shrugged his shoulders and walked passing her. Diya stood there staring him in disbelief. “Seriously dude?” she spread her hands still looking in his direction not pleased by his attitude.

Ragini was all smiles while she was busy hunting for her favorite book in the upper rack she felt a bit shivering. When she found her favorite book of Tolstoy she stumbled and fell of the stair ladder. But luckily she landed safely in strong arms. She closed her eyes tightly fearing the embarrassment. She furrowed her eyebrows feeling safe and in mid air. Still her heart was beating fast.

“Hey Ms. Sunshine. You can open your eyes” she heard the familiar voice. She swallowed the lump in her throat and slowly opened her eyes. She found Karan smiling at her. “You are safe” he smiled widely. “Not unless I feel the ground” she tried catching her breath. “In that case” he made her stand and raised his eyebrows. “I hope at least now” he looked at her hopefully.

“Thank you” she looked at him gratefully. “For this and for that night” she nervously smiled at him. He looked at her confused. “I thought you forgot” he crossed his arms. “I did?” she asked him. “Duh. Are you this confused always?” he asked cocking his head at one side. “Most of the times” she relaxed herself. Karan looked around for something and smiled walking towards his left.

“Here. Take this” he offered her a glass of water he brought from the cooler. “Thanks” she took the glass and gulped the water down her throat in a go. “You're okay now?” he asked and she nodded her head in a yes. “Good. By the way Ms. Sunshine. How and why did you changed your attire completely just in half day?” he analyzed her attire which was completely different from the one he saw in the morning.

“Where did you see me? I met you just now” she looked at him as she wiped her mouth with confusing eyes. “Okay. Your memory really flickers faster than the second hand of the clock” he nodded his head. “Excuse me?” she cocked her head front trying to understand what he meant.

“Forget it. Can we just start over again? My name is Karan” he forwarded his hand. Ragini shook his hand and smiled at him replying “Ragini”. “I know. I solved the puzzle when I was still sober” he smiled making her flushed. Ragini closed her eyes embarrassed. “By the way how did you just solve it so quickly?” she looked at him while they walked to the counter. “This” he pointed at his skull.

Ragini rolled her eyes. “Really?” she nodded her head in disbelief. “Of course. I saw your ID card which you still were wearing the night of the prom. I mean I was shuddered at the thought of you being nerd of higher level that you carried your ID card to the Freshers Party prom night like it is something you are possessive of but I found you to be cute nerd. And I like an idiot did not notice anything other than your melodious name on it” he stopped and looked at her while her cheeks went crimson and she bowed her head.

“Then there was this friend of yours who came to take you home and almost yelled at me that I tried to take advantage of you. But the fact actually was that I kept enjoying your company” he looked into her eyes and she couldn't help but  stare back.

“Rebecca is quite possessive about her friends. She hadn't attended the college from a week due to fever” Ragini smiled looking down. “Thank goodness” Karan breathed relaxing. Ragini looked at him. “I mean. It's good she is that possessive but you know. It might irk your boyfriend.” he walked with her noticing her changing expressions.

“I don't have one” Ragini tucked the hair strand behind her ear. “Really?” Suddenly Karan's excitement grew and he smiled widely. Ragini looked at him confused. “I mean. I feel sorry for you that you don't have a boy friend though you are in college already” he changed his face expression.

Ragini narrowed her eyebrows. “I mean. It's impossible to believe that you don't have a boyfriend” he nodded his head. “Why?” Ragini looked at him. “Like you are very friendly, good nature, sweet and....” he stopped looking at her face. “And?” Ragini waited for his answer. “So gorgeous” he said lost in his dreams. Ragini blushed as he continued look into her eyes.

“Any guy will die to be your boy friend” he said dreamily making her blush more. “Are you trying to flirt with me?” she composed herself. He got his senses back and gave her a weak smile. “Um” he cleared his throat.

“Nobody can possibly try to flirt with you” he stretched his lips and she looked at him amused.

“Why so?” she placed her index finger under her chin.

“Because” he moved closer to her and she did not move. “You are the one who should be loved not played around” he kissed the back of her palm like a gentleman and gave a warm smile. Her face had turned red by then.

“Thanks” she said not finding right word to speak. The evening has arrived with a orange colour painting the sky behind them. The birds were returning home and cool breeze touched their skins making the moments more delightful.

Ragini rubbed her shoulders and Karan looked at her and removed his jacket covering her. She looked into his eyes while he was too close to her and he stared into her eyes. He moved up to kiss her forehead and Ragini closed her eyes feeling happy that he is not rushing into things. And she needed someone of that sort in her life.

“See ya” he bid her bye and she nodded her head with a smile and walked towards her car which was on the opposite direction.

As she reached all blushing near her car she saw Diya standing all miffed. Ragini sighed as she saw her sister out of the car not inside it. As she reached her sister the car beside them moved. “Seriously? I waited damn 20 minutes for the cars to move and Ms. Goddess of right timing arrives and everything turns positive” she spread her hands annoyed.

Ragini chuckled at her sister's remark. “No seriously. At what time you were born and why didn't you let me come to the world at that time? I mean how can you have all the luck of the world and I get all the bad luck” Diya sat beside Ragini as she ignited the engine.

“Remember. I tried convincing you to be born before me? You kept arguing and I have to come out at the last second of the good time and you at the first second of the bad time?” Ragini chuckled as she accelerated the vehicle.

“I am grounded only for a week more twin sister. And after that...” Diya was interrupted by Ragini who replied “I will ask Rebecca to drop me. I don't wanna die young in your driving” Diya twisted her lips annoyed. “Whatever” she rolled her eyes. “Don't be so sloppy twin sister. You might get extension of some more days” Ragini chuckled. “And who will be the happiest person then?” Diya said with a fake smile. “Me of course” Ragini said sternly and then chuckled.

“You are so mean” Diya gritted her teeth. “Oh come on. I love you. And I want everything best for you always” Ragini turned the steering. “Really? Was that a joke?” Diya crossed her arms. “Yeah I like being mean to you at times” Ragini chuckled. “I knew it” Diya nodded her head.

“Come on now. Please I'm done with your super speed. Can you please accelerate it so that we reach home before we die out of aging?” Diya said annoyed with the slow speed of Ragini and held the steering. “Diya. Leave it” Ragini tried shooing her off but Diya laughed as she turned the steering recklessly.

“Are you out of your mind?” Ragini yelled while she pushed her sister finally aside and got the control of the vehicle. But it was too late when Ragini missed the balance and hit the car in front of her. They bounced in their place. “Oh shit” Ragini looked at the SUV which was in front of her.

“Damn you Diya. See what did you do?” Ragini looked at her sister furiously. “You should have seen your face” Diya laughed clapping her hands.

Ragini looked at her twin sister with the flared up nose. “I need to apologize” Ragini stepped out of the car. “Okay Saint Ragini. See you at home” Diya moved to the driver seat and drove the car away leaving Ragini there alone.

Ragini stamped her foot annoyed. Their mansion was just few steps walk away. She took a deep breath and moved to the car which was in front of her. She found a man who was yelling at Diya's car. “Damn” he turned and suddenly he stopped as he saw a girl in front of him. Ragini panicked as he stood near to her. She hit her back to the car and the man stood there looking at her.

“I..I...” she found it very difficult to say it. “For how long are you gonna continue this stammering? Because I have run out of patience already. You have annoyed me a lot already from morning” he crossed his arms.

She looked at him confused. "But I..." she was interrupted when he placed his index finger on her lips shushing her. He moved his hands away when she was quite.

She gulped in scared. “I'm sorry” she whispered and he cocked his head trying to hear what she said. “What?” he asked her again.

“I'm sorry” she said gathering more courage. “Sorry?” he asked her confused. “Actually I banged your car” she said closing her eyes in fear. His nostrils flared up but soon his anger cooled down without his knowledge. Though it had never happened in ages.

He left out a breath and Ragini opened her eyes. “I will get your car repaired I promise” she pinched her neck cutely. He looked up annoyed. “Fine. Give me your phone number I will send you the bill. You can pay for the repair” he took his phone out to note down her number. She gave him a skeptical look. “What?” he asked confused.

“Look. I'm not the one that will send you texts as soon as I got your number. Yes you are beautiful. But not my types. So be assured I'm not the stalking kind of a person. In fact girls stalk me. And if you have any intention of that sort. Forget it. Because I may look irresistibly charming. But sweetheart I am equally dangerous” he smirked making her shiver.

“I forgot my number” she said nervous. “What?” he asked her and she jumped on her feet. “Duh. Give me your phone” he forwarded his hand. She looked at him not understanding. “You are giving it or shall I take it?” he asked. “No..no wait” she took her phone from her pockets and handed him. He dialed his number and saved her number as “Ms. Freak out all the time” and handed her the phone back. 

“I will send you the bill. Make the payment otherwise with your number I will not need forever to trace you down” he said as he sat inside his car. She nodded her head like a small kid. He drove off the car and she stood there staring at the car while he watched her through the rear mirror.

“Hey Ragini” she jerked when a car stopped beside her. She looked at her left and found Karan peeping out of the driver window. “What are you doing here? Are you alright?” he asked concerned. “Yeah...” she said nodding her head. “You don't look like. Why are you standing at the middle of the road? Come I will drop you” he said. “No. I am fine. My home is just few steps away” she said smiling at him weakly.

“Fine” he moved his car a bit away and parked it and walked to her. “This is better. I can spend some more time with you” he said smiling at her. She did not respond. He knew something happened to her. She was not that chirpy she was just few minutes ago.

They walked silently on the foot path. “Thank you” she smiled at him while she reached the gate to her mansion. “Mention not” he smiled at her and she walked inside to reach the home and he kept watching her until she entered her mansion safely.

Diya who was dancing in her room walked to the window of her room doubtfully. She found Karan who caressed his neck blushing.

She bent her neck lost. There was no second thought that she was attracted to him from the time she met him in the morning. She danced happily and fell on the bed facing the ceiling.

“I'm home” she heard Ragini's voice. “Oh no. She is gonna blurt it out. Mom is gonna kill me” she sat straight and ran down the stairs.

“Ragini” she hugged her tightly. “Where were you? You know I searched you all over the campus. I was so worried that I broke the rules of grounding and drove the car all the way to home thinking you might be here. I searched you everywhere....” she kept talking while Ragini gave her sister a look of disbelief.

“You are grounded for an extra week” Diya's eyes went wide as she heard her mom's voice who was standing behind them crossing her arms.

“Why?” Diya asked not believing her ears. “I can possibly guess what might have happened daughter dearest” her mom smirked.

“No.... don't tell me you know telekinesis or whatever that freaky thing is called” Diya spoke in disbelief. “I do. Because remember I am your mother who knows every nerve in your body and also how it works?” her mom smiled widely.

“Popsy” Diya walked to her father who was standing beside her mother. “Darling” he turned to his wife. “You wanna sleep on the couch don't you?” their mother gave him a serious look. “Sorry Peaches. I love you a lot. But you know I miss my bed from past week” he pressed the back of his neck. Ragini controlled her laugh.

Her mother winked at her with a winning smile and covered her face with stiffness as Diya turned to her mother. “Why didn't I born on that lucky second?” she asked looking up.

“Because you are born bad luck queen” Ragini chuckled and Diya stamped her feet and walked to her room annoyed. Ragini walked to her mother and they gave high five to each other.

“That's not fair honey. You always punish her” Ragini's father spoke. “And what about the problems she creates? She need to learn it that life is not just about being careless and mischievous. She has to be mature and strong to tackle life” Ragini's mother spoke.

“I can't disagree with that” said he and they walked to the dining table while Ragini narrated her mother what happened just before she reached home.

Ragini walked to her room to find Diya sleeping facing her back. Diya heard the creaking sound of the door opening but did not move. On the other hand Ragini knew that Diya was still awake. She nodded her head and lied on her bed and covered herself with the quilt.

“Not even a bit of regret that whatever you did with me was wrong” Diya spoke in her mind while she watched sleeping Ragini over her shoulder. “Fine. I don't give a damn either” she turned swiftly and covered herself closing her eyes.
