The official ending!

----------X----------

"Ragini now slightly push this kalash of rice with your feet.."
Naina instructed Ragini who was standing married in a red heavily embroided lehenga with Laksh in his golden sherwaani.

And Ragini kicked the kalash eventually marking her entry in the tree house to which once her entry was restricted.

"Yaaayy....Welcome to our tree house and your second sasural."
Kabir stated making others laugh.

Laksh and Ragini got married in a court. Laksh wasnt fond of much gathering and wanted his marriage smooth. While Ragini wanted to dress up like a typical Indian bride. So both of their opinions were kept and here they were standing decked up.

The marriage happened under the presence of Laksh's father and Kabir's father and Kabir and Naina played the witness part.

"Your words came true Ragini. You once said that he will let you in himself and today we saw that."
Naina said smiling. Laksh shied.

"I married him only to enter this tree house."
Ragini said teasing him.

Laksh's forehead creased and he glared her.

"No problem, now you stay here forever, I will find some other girl."
He argued.

This time, Ragini frowned and gave him a dangerous glare.

"Dare you eye any other woman, I swear to God, it will be the last day of your life!"
Ragini sureshort warned him.

"Ooooooooo......."
Naina and Kabir left a gasp.

But Laksh didn't accept his defeat.

"Possessive? Why? You just married me to enter the house. What's my use now? Set me free."
They were getting into an arguement.

"Cmon guys,its your first day of marriage. Atleast, don't fight today. Which sane couple does like this? Oh God....Craziness of next level."
Kabir commented making Naina chuckle.

"They are officially married today but had been behaving like a married couple since Laksh kidnapped her. You missed their arguements...So kiddish...Only husband and wife fight like this. Hahaha...Its nothing new."
Naina laughed off while Laksh and Ragini kept arguing.

"Atleast we can try to stop them."
Kabir said.

"Yup...lets go from here and give them their own time. It will be the best way."
Naina said standing up.

"Are you sure?"
Kabir asked.

"Yes."
She said and both of them went leaving them alone over there.

"You don' love me? Thats why you are fighting with me right?"
Ragini said in tears finally marking the end of arguement.

"Arey...What are you saying?"
Laksh asked confused.

"Yes...you are fighting with me on the very first day of our marriage."
Ragini replied childishly. She was looking down on the ground making circles with her finger on the floor and had a pout.

"Aww mera baccha...So cute.."
Laksh chuckled and went near her. He took her into his embrace and made her head rest on his shoulder.

"You know how much I love you. Then why do play these cards always?"
He asked kissing her forehead.

"Because this makes you say those 3 magical words everytime."
Ragini gave him a mischief look. Laksh looked at her for a while and then chuckled.

"You dont need to do that...I will myself say you those words 3 times a day regularly but you have to return the favour with a kiss.everytime. Okay?"
Laksh asked muffling his laughter.

"Deal accepted..I dont mind kissing my husband frequently if he likes it."
Ragini said chuckling and kissed his cheek tightly leaving a lipstick impression on his cheek.

"Na...I am not talking about this bacchon waali kiss, I want lip to lip kiss."
He said hoping that she would shy. But instead, she chuckled even more.

"Why not? Afterall I had been saving all these for my man...So why a no?"
She said giggling and turned his face towards her, then slowly placed a soft kiss on his lips. He too kissed her fondly and now even his lips were.painted red.

He sighed.

"Aren't you too bold for a newly married wife. You don't shy at all!"
Laksh complained.

"What? You want to see me shy? Hillarious."
Ragini laughed.

"Ragu...yaar."
Laksh chided.

"Okay okay...I promise to feel shy atleast 3 times a day infront of you but then promise me that you will stop flirting with your female colleagues."
Ragini asked his hand for a promise.
He smiled beautifully.

"I stopped since I have confessed my feelings to you..."
He told her making her smile and a little blushed. He smiled more and then they hugged each other even more tighter.

"How do I tell you that even your presence makes me feel shy. Its just that I am good enough to hide that. But if you want, I'll not hide my blush infront of you."
Ragini thought looking at him who had his eyes closed as he was feeling soothness with her by his side. She smiled looking at him.

Knock! Knock!

"Guys, if you are done fighting then please open the door! We have to perform other rituals too.. They are not shouting for a while now, I hope they are safe."
Kabir said worried to Naina.

"They must have resolved."
Naina said chilled out.

Ragini and Laksh heard up the door's bang and got up to open it.

"Coming....wait!"
Laksh said and opened to door to them..

Kabir and Naina's expressions turned red seeing him.

"Should we guys move now?"
Ragini said coming adjusting her lehanga stanging beside Laksh. She looked at their expressions and frowned in a confused manner.

"What?"
Laksh asked.

"The fight went very wild I see."
Kabir commented still shocked while Naina gave a short mocking smile hiding it by lowering her head and placing her knuckles on the mouth.

"Huh?"
Ragini and Laksh were confused.

"You hit him so much Ragini...Look at these terrifying marks he got on his face. Tch Tch."
Naina sarcastically interpreted those lipstick marks.

"No...I dont remember hitting him."
Ragini and Laksh looked towards each other confused when Raginj found those marks which they were talking about. Blood gushed through her body as her feet became cold. She started blushing hard.

Laksh was still confused.

"You hit him with your lips. People normally fight with hands or weapons and here the equarion is different."
Naina teased them. Ragini was all red while Laksh realized what they meant. He went towards the mirror and looked at his state.

Rolling his eyes, he went back and said...

"Cmon dude, don't act naive...You both aren't less. Atleast, we don't give lame excuses to romance each other nor we kiss each other hidingly in kitchen. Yes, we were romancing..We have legal rights to do that and you are not supposed to question. Okay? "
He made his statement very clear.

Ragini laughed at the way he was trying to hide his embarrassment by putting it on them.

Kabir and Naina's faces flushed red. They nodded a hmmm and took them for their ring finding ceremony after Laksh adjusted himself..

The Battleground

It was best of three, out of which Ragini won the first round by finding the ring while Laksh won the second.

The third round was going on and there was so much excitement.

Who was going to be the boss of the house?

It was about to be declared in a few minutes. Laksh and Ragini were trying hard.

Jinx!

The ring was captured.

Jjjjjhhhhhrrrr....

With full force, the ring was taken out by Laksh and Ragini both.

"Yyyyyaaaaaayyyyy!"
Borh shouted for their victory not realising that it was a tie and how they had messed up the floor with the milk,water and rose mixture.

A silence after,

They looked at their jumbled hands and got to know that they were going to be a tough competition to each other as none was supposed to 'boss' around.

With rituals ending on a highly competitive note, where neither of them won, Laksh and Ragini returned to their home sweet home.

"Go and get freshen up...I have something for you."
Laksh said encircling his hands around her.

"Really?"

"Yes."

They both came in the hall in their loose wears. Laksh went first. He gave her a document like thing.

"What's this?"
Ragini asked confused.

"Welcome to Maheshwari Enterprises, you are my shareholder of the company Mrs. Ragini Laksh Maheshwari. Just sign here."
Laksh asked her. Ragini was shocked.

"No....Noo...this is not right. Laksh I love you and not your money. My love for you is only for your soul. I can't accept this."
She said with tears in her eyes.

"This is not what I mean Ragini. Remember the day, you told me about your struggle, that's it. I want you to live like a queen. I want you to get recognised. From tomorrow, you will be the Executive director of our company. I want you to embark upon a new journey with me forgetting about the past."
He explained.

"Laksh...I still don't feel to sign this."
She said a little hesistant. She hated to be called the gold digger now.

"Don't you trust me?"
He asked.

"More than myself."

"Then go for it. Cmon."
He said.

She smiled at him and then signed it. He smiled too and hugged her.

"You didnt take out the other document from the folder."
Laksh said. Ragini looked into it only to find an application form.

"Your first step towards your dreams. Application form for Leharan band. Its trending nowadays."
He told her.

"You are the best thing which has happened to me in my entire life."
With this Ragini jumps upon him and shows her excitement to him.

"Thank you so much...Thank you so much.....Thank you so much!"
She said pecking his cheek.

"Oohhhh.....Save it for the bedroom."
Laksh said as he stumbled with her sudden jump.

Ragini chuckled. Her hands were still around his neck when he picked her up in bridal style.

"Aaarreeeyyy......What are you doing?"
A gasp came out of her mouth.

"I don't feel to answer this."
And he took her the room which was decorated by Naina and her friend for Ragini and Laksh.

Seeing the decorations, Ragini and Laksh stood mesmerized. Slowly, Laksh places Ragini on the bed. Their eyes fall at the side to find a rope and a letter.

"What's this rope doing here?"
Ragini says confused.

"There is a note too. Naina might have placed."
He says as he picks up the rope and the note to read it.

"Hey...
I hope you both liked the room's view. Might be wondering about the rope?
Its for Ragini. The way Laksh kidnapped you, its your time to take revenge. I have placed the weapon there, its all onto you how you use it for your benefit.
Tata!
All the best...
Naina."

Laksh was shocked.

"Is she mad?"
He shouted.

"It will be fun."
Ragini said examining the rope and thinking what to do with it.

"Are you seriously going o ruin my night by tying me? Cmon!"
Laksh said rolling his eyes.

"Not at all. I have to use it for my benefit. But If I will tie you, you will keep no stone unturned to bombard orders on me , like I did to you. Hahahah....I wont take the risk. I know what to do."
Ragini said.

She took scissors from the drawer and cut the rope into two pieces. Laksh was still looking at her.

"Take off your shirt."
Ragini ordered.

"Huh?"
Laksh asked shocked.

"Take off your shirt."
She said again.

He took it off still seeing what she is upto. Looking at him shirtless, Ragini blushed but then hid it.

She took one half of the rope and tied his hands together. And the tied her hands in the same way taking his help.

"What are you upto?"
He asked her.

"Let's entangle ourselves."
She said huskily and took him in her circle as her tied hands rested at his neck.

Similarly, Laksh took her into his circle as his tied hands were at her back. They were extremely close to each other as their chests joined.

Both were looking at each other with love and passion.

"I never knew you were this smart."
He said kissing her ear lobe. She jingled and hugged him tighter.

"I love you."
She said to him.

"I love you too."
He said joining their foreheads and they stood in the same moment for long freezing the frame on their beautiful journey.

The End

Sooooooo.....

The story has finally took its official ending. It was a beautiful journey. I think, I was successful to bring a dynamic character Ragini. You all hated her, empathized with her and loved her. While Laksh was loved everytime.

I will definitely miss writing this but everything has an end. The story is one of my favourite works. I hope you all liked this short yet amazing journey.

Thank you all for sprinkling the glitters of love to my work and making it even more beautiful.

Lets say a final bye to:

Kidnapping ho toh aisi!!

Love you guys!! 😍
