Next day morning,

Ragini had gone to the temple while her parents were getting ready to go out of station. Swara was on the house terrace moving here and there as she was looking for someone.

Swara's POV

OMG! How long will he take? Why he hasn't reached yet? I already made him clear that mom dad will be going out of station today. But he was too stubborn to accept. He was adamant that he wants to come today only. My parents will be going in half an hour. Oh my god! Please help me!

I didn't know how I have fallen for that stupid angry man. But what to do I have fallen for his honest eyes and his angry look. We even don't know each other's name. But we have fallen in love. Yes that sound's stupid but that's what happened in my life. When I was going to Nithya's house in my Ragini sis's scooty, I had hit his car accidentally. He came out of the car angrily. But he didn't scold me. He just stared at me and went from there. His stare was so intense that it made me shiver. But then I shoo away those feelings. But then one day, I saw him in café and he also saw me but he just walked away making me irritated.

After then we have many encounters but didn't share a word. It was only the stares. I don't know when this turned into love. One day he came to my college and said "I Love You" directly without any hesitation and with much intensity. That day his words made me realize that I was also in love with him. But I didn't confess it to him. I wanted my sister to see her happy ending first before me. I also didn't want to love someone and marry someone. So, I wanted my parent's permission for this relation.

As if understanding my thoughts he came yesterday and said that he will be coming to my house to ask permission for our marriage. I had informed him that my parents will be going out of station but he said that he will be there surely and went from there before I can say something.

Just then I heard a car's horn and ran to the hall. There my parents received him and confusedly look at each other.

POV ends...

"Glad to meet you, uncle. I am Sanskar Kapoor working as a serial director at present and in future I will be directing films. I am an orphan grown up in the orphanage 'We are a family'. I have no bad habits but I am strict and short-tempered. So yeah, that's all about me!" Sanskar said in one breath while Shekhar, Sharmistha and Swara looked at him shocked and astonished. But then he continued,

"I don't like beating around the bush uncle, I will come to the point directly. I am in love with your daughter. I even expressed but she didn't respond me. But I don't want to miss her in my life. So I came here for her hand. Will you accept my proposal? I will wait for your answer. Thank u for hearing me completely."

Here is where the misunderstanding starts. Both Shekhar and Sharmistha thought that Sanskar was talking about Ragini. They both got happy and said yes to him. Swara was completely surprised that they have accepted Sanskar so easily.

"Where is Ragini? We shall ask her for wish." Shekhar whispered to Sharmistha which was heard by Swara.

She was shocked to hear it. She wanted to clear their misunderstanding but stopped herself. She remembered Ragini's previous rejection and the broken engagement which had completely shaken her family and Ragini. 'I can't be selfish', she thought. She then thought of Sanskar, his honesty, his ambitious looks, his intensity. Tears formed in her eyes. 'He will be best for my sister', she thought and ran away to her room.

Sanskar, who was thinking that Swara was only daughter, didn't know about the misunderstanding. They fixed the engagement the next day itself because Shekhar and Sharmistha are moved by Sanskar's proposal and they also thought that Ragini would accept the alliance. They were happy that finally their daughter is going to have a happy ending.

At temple,

Ragini was about to enter into the temple, she got a call from Sharmi.

"Hey Sharmi" Ragini said still lost in the thought whether Laksh had opened her gifts or not.

"Ragu, I want to say something!" Sharmi said in a concerned tone which made Ragini to come out of her thoughts.

"What Sharmi?" Ragini asked concerned.

"Ragu, Laksh Maheshwari was in relationship with his co-actor, Smriti!" Sharmi said worried of Ragini's reaction. But she couldn't hear anything. She found that Ragini had cut the call.

At Maheshwari Villa,

Laksh woke up with a beautiful smile on his face after having a peaceful sleep. He remembered yesterday's incident. Then he remembered the 'Anarkali girl'. He knows that he have some crush on her.

Laksh's POV

She was a cute innocent girl. I won't say the most beautiful but she has a unique beauty in her. I do admit that I have some crush on her from the moment I had laid my eyes on her. But I didn't know anything about her. If I had gone and talked with her and gets committed in a relationship with her then would not have felt anything for Ragini.

Ragini's beauty of heart is clearly visible to me. I don't care about her looks because she has the kindest and beautiful heart which could understand me. I can see it through her letters and gifts. I am moved by her gestures. She had turned the worst day of my life into the best of my life.

I don't want to marry a crush in my life. I want the real love, the love which can be given by this girl, Ragini. I want to spend my whole life with her only. It's decided that whoever this Ragini Gaddodia is, I am going to live my life for her.

'What if she is already in a relationship or worst married?' A thought came inside my mind making me shake my head to clear that stupid mind of mine.

I just hope everything goes good.

POV ends...

He took the recipe book and found some of the recipes were written by her. It was mostly 'Parottas' which was Laksh's favourite dish. He smiled remembering that he had confessed it in an interview. He chuckled and muttered under his breath "Lovely stalker!"

He gave that recipe book to his servant and asked him to do some dishes by reading from that book. He also warned him to keep it safe or else he would kill him. After saying this he went to the shooting spot. He was there on time and he looked at the 'smiley' kerchief given by Ragini and kept his hand on the chest and said "All is well". Then he got some confidence and went to Sanskar.

"Good morning, sir!" Laksh said with a smile on his face.

"Morning" Sanskar muttered while looking somewhere.

"Brother, I know I have made mistakes. But please don't misunderstand that I don't care about my aim. I know for the past few days I am not giving my best and always losing concentration in my work. It was due to a crush on a girl. But now everything was cleared and I also came to a final decision. I know you are angry with me, because you are caring for me and my future. I am promising you that I won't repeat this mistake again, brother!"

Laksh said like a promise while Sanskar turned towards him and asked "Did you call me as brother?"

Laksh nodded his head without any hesitation. Sanskar became emotional and hugged him because from his small age no one called him with such close relation. He broke the hug and said in a stern tone,

"Ok I am forgiving you as your brother. But if you want me to forgive as your 'sir' then you should work hard for that!" Though he was having a stern look, Laksh could still find his warmth in it. He smiled and nodded while saying,

"As you say sir"

Sanskar smiled a little and patted his shoulder. He then remembered the engagement with Swara tomorrow. So he invited Laksh as he didn't have anyone except him from now on.

"Laksh tomorrow is my engagement with my loved one and you must be on time. Did you get it?" Laksh was shocked to hear the sudden engagement, so he said,

"Really...?! You haven't informed me that you are in love with someone. Who was that lucky girl to get you as her husband?" Laksh teasingly asked him. Sanskar let out a real smile and showed him Swara's photo from his mobile.

"She is my lucky girl, Swara Gaddodia" Sanskar said

Laksh was shocked hearing that surname 'Gaddodia'. He remembered that Ragini's name also ends the same. Many questions raised in his mind. Before he could ask, Sanskar asked him to get ready for the shooting. Laksh thought that he should definitely attend the function at least to know about Ragini.

On the other side,

Ragini cuts the call immediately after hearing it. She couldn't believe Sharmi's words. She immediately searched about Laksh and found in an interview that he had confessed 'I am in love'.

Her heartfelt like being crushed in between her lungs. Her breath becomes heavy. Her eyes blurred with tears. She felt a sudden pain in her chest. She just collapsed down and stared at nothing in particular. She felt like the ground beneath her was snatched by someone. She felt like till now she was in dreamland and it was now she had come to reality.

'How can I think like this?'

'Just because he saved my life unknowingly, I can't feel like this for him.'

'How do I know if he is a good person in real life? And without even knowing that how can I be so crazy on him?'

'Just because I write those stupid letters, how can I accept him to respond to me and feel something for me too?'

'Why am I feeling like this?'

'Am I in love with him?'

Her last thought was like a slap on her face by the reality. She was shocked by her own feelings. "NO!" She shouted crazily without caring about the looks she got.

"No, I am not in love with him!" She said convincingly to herself. "It's just that I didn't expect such news and now it's clear that my feelings for him are infatuation. It will be gone soon. It will be gone if I stop writing the letters!"

With that, she wiped her tears and took the letter which she had written last night and tore it into pieces. She took another paper and a pen and started to write a new letter, the last one.

"Hello Mr.Laksh Maheshwari.

I am that same old Ragini. I have always wondered how do act those romantic scenes so genuinely and now I got the answer that you are in love with her in real life too. That's amazing you know! I am so happy for you that you have met your soul mate.

Here is happy news that I won't write letters for you, because I am moving to the states with my husband for a fresh start. So I won't be able to write to daily. I wish you to have a happy married life with your soul mate. Finally, Goodbye to you!

After writing that letter Ragini unknowingly started to cry. After a few hours, she wiped her eye and went to pray to God. She prayed that Laksh should get all the happiness in his life. Then with the heavy heart, she posted the letter and went to her house.

At Ragini's house,

Ragini entered the house and found some decorations. She asked her mom about it. She explained about Sanskar's alliance and asked if she will accept the alliance. Ragini's mind immediately thought about Laksh. She shakes her head to clear her mind and said "Yes" to her mother making her happy.

Ragini went inside the room and cried badly and was Swara too. But both Sanskar and Laksh were eagerly waiting for the next day.

^_^

What will happen on the engagement day?
