Kabir stood up in a fraction of seconds, "WHAT? YOU SAID IT!"

Neha pulls him down and closed his mouth with her hand, "shh let him speak!"

Kabir nodded and waited impatiently like Neha.

Laksh took the pillow and hold it close to his chest, "she stood up, paid her bill and left."

Kabir blinks with his eyes, he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

"Laksh!" Neha shouted, "what, she left from there, why?!" Kabir pointed on her with his finger, just to demonstrate that he wants to know too.

Laksh took a deep breath, "yes, she left," he said broken-hearted, "I took a spoon of the chocolate cake and stood up, I paid my part and rushed behind her. But I have to admit the taste was like heaven. I could die for it."

Kabir slightly hits Neha, she nodded, "Laksh! Focus."

Laksh rolls his eyes, "I rushed out and tried to follow her, she wasn't far and I could caught her."

"Ragini wait!"

"Ragini didn't, she walked further ignoring me."

"Stop Ragini, you can't ignore me like this, I need an answer."

"What answer? Have you lost your mind how can you think it's Love? We just met once."

"She said just once, you know what happened, when she said that?"

NaBir shook their heads, obviously they don't.

"What did you said? ONE MEETING! Are you mad we have met each other several times, but you have ignored me on any event."

"Any event? It was just at operation and no other place!"

"I widen my eyes cause she forgot me again!"

Kabir wanted to hold the hand of Laksh, but Neha was still holding his back head and mouth.

"Ragini are you out of your sense! I met you at the wedding of Amaan and Ayesha! I found your stupid bracelet, which was the reason why you didn't took part at the first operation."

"She showed me her hand and stopped me to talk further."

"Wah Laksh, you found my bracelet and now you want my heart in return? Have you lost your mind?"

"Any idea what happened next?"

Silence....

"Shut up you fool! I said I love you, you left because you thought of one meeting, I told you three and the rest I will remind you too!"

"You know the Rachel thing, the restaurant thing and her house place... she was looking numb at me. I again asked for an answer."

"It's a no! I don't love you and I don't trust in the word of love, I don't believe in it!"

"But why? Is it the casts? Is it because I'm an Indian? Is because I'm not religious like you?"

"She was looking at me with hate filled eyes."

"I would never think like this! How dare you to think that low of me. I don't care where you are from or your religion. I don't need to justify myself to you. I said it again I don't love you and don't trust on it."

"But why! Don't you think it's God's wink that I'm always finding you where ever I look, it's you!"

"No, I don't think so. It's your imagination. Love is not written in my destiny."

"Really? Do you have someone? Are you having a crush? Is there another reason liking girls?"

"I was holding my cheek."

NaBir could understand that he had received a tight slap.

"No, it's because of my mother."

"She left me again, this time I couldn't run behind her. Not after that slap."

Kabir removed the hand, for a moment it looked like he wanted to say something but he remained silent.

"Neha you have to leave, it's time."

Laksh frowns, "hain?" He was shocked as Kabir literally thrown them out of the apartment.

"Neha what is this? He asked me to tell about the day and now this."

Neha shrugged, "I don't know, just leave from here."

He looked at her, "wait tomorrow is the wedding, why were you here?"

Neha rolled her eyes, "some last arrangements, we won't stay at the place here and I was checking if I haven't forgotten anything here."

Laksh nodded they sat in the car and were driving, it was silent, like he thought.

"You know, it's just a small thing."

"I'm damn sure it's just a small thing! I can't believe that something related to her mother can be this big. I'm sure just a silly thing and she is making a big issue of it. She is interpreting something else or too much."

Neha saw his determination it was the first time he got rejected and still he wants her.

"Don't forget this."

Laksh confused, "what?"

"Your determined love for her, keep this focus she will be surely yours."

Laksh smiles, "yes, I know. No one can resist me for long."

Neha shook her head and hit him playfully, "you won't change not even in this moment you can stay serious."

"Your Home, Daiyan!"

"Bye Asshole."

It was the next day, evening and Laksh was fully dressed up as the best man.

"Oh wow Laksh." His father was praising him along with his mother, "let me take his Nazar," his mother made a small prayer and applied khol behind his eye too keep the bad sight from him.

"Enough now Let's go. They won't wait, well for me they will."

His parents shook their heads, "let's go."

At the wedding

It was full, the Nikkah was done in the morning it is the reception time, Walima.

Laksh was sitting next to Kabir, "yesterday you made me to her driver, today you have become her servant for lifetime! I think it's a good punishment." They all laughed at Kabir and Laksh, their bond was always unique.

"Chal, you won't let this happen ever, right."

Laksh shook his head, "never my free bird." He winks and then the music started, with full energy he was dancing on his best friends wedding.

The same location, the same time and the same hall!

"Ayesha!" A joyful Ragini rushed to her best friend.

"Ragini!" They hugged each other and were only talking to each other forgetting the surrounding.

"Good evening Uncle." Amaan came and give Abdul a handshake.

"Asalam Alaikum. I think we should leave them alone, they don't remember us."

Amaan nodded and they found a table.

"Ayesha I'm so angry, why you took so long to return?"

Ayesha widen her eyes, "what return, it's because of the wedding, I will leave in the morning."

Ragini was shocked, "what, but why?"

Ayesha hold her chin, "you know his work is there and I'm..." she lowers her head and Ragini widen her eyes, jumping up and down, "I'm going to be a Khala {aunt}."

Ayesha nodded, "yes, after him it's only you whom I told this."

"Haan after all I'm your bestie." Ragini was very proud on herself.

"By the way, you are looking stunning."

"Thank you." She said with the cutest smile on her face, just then they saw the group of the other's, who were dancing on the stage.

"Wow so much energy, I think he was at my wedding too, but there he didn't danced like this, actually he was gone after you left."

Ragini frowns, "who?"

Ayesha showed on the back of someone, "he, the one with black suit and green shawl."

"Oh, okay. What he did on your wedding?"

"Nothing," Ayesha said, "that's what I'm saying he should have danced there too like this."

Ragini laughs, "aww, but your wedding was so beautiful."

"I'm waiting for yours! There is surely a man made for you, who can handle you only."

Ragini was confused, if she should tell her or not.
