Hey everyone!!

Welcome to
' oh my best friend'...

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The scene opens in a luxury hotel....

Looks like a business party is held...
Lot of foreign delegates and well known businessmen of India are seen...

Somewhere in the corner of that party...A beautiful lean girl around 25 years dressed in a simple floor length pink coloured frock is seen sipping an apple juice...

"God! It's so boring here...
Dad was so adamant in getting me to this lavish business party where Mr. Mehtha is celebrating his foreign establishments... Everybody here looks so polished... I mean, physically!!...
The ladies might have taken a week to get ready...I bet...except me.😬 As I had no clue of coming here..
even if I had  also😆...

It was dad who shocked me this morning by stating that I must attend this... For two benefits...
One, to introduce me to this business world as I will be taking over the 'Gadodia imports and exports', the next year...
   ' Typical businessman'

Second, to find a rich and handsome guy...and get me married to him...
    'Typical father of a girl'

Dad wants me to gel up with all of them... To build the contacts...
Man, I know none of them here... I really got  headache...
the girl mutters herself...

At that time,

"Beta"!!

Someone keeps hand on that girl's shoulder and she turns... She is revealed to be
Our ragini...

" haan papa"...

"look, who is here..."
Dad put his hand over some guy 's ...No no, on a very  handsome guy's shoulder...and he is revealed to be our Hero 
' Lakshya'... I know it's one of ur motives dad...
'the ladka doondna'😒

The guy is breath takingly hot  even in his casuals... White shirt with two buttons open revealing his chisled chest... Over a blue jeans... With his shades on...something out of the dress code... Hmm.. Interesting...

Stop drooling over him.. u fool... !My brain snapped at my mind...

" beta, where r u lost? Dad snapped his fingers...
Look, he is ur... Wait, guess who he is..."

Hain! Guess?...do i know him?

I was raping my grey matter... Literally... I, ragini gadodia  is known for intelligence and a good memory... How come I dont remember him then ? ...

Just then, that guy interrupted " uncle, wait.. I will remind her who I am.."
And removes his shades...

"hey, ragini!! ...look at this...
He showed me a mole just below his left lip... Like a beauty spot... " with a smirk playing on his lips...

Finally, the memory area in my brain got unlocked and now I know ...sorry, very well know who he is... My eyes got widened...

"lakshya... Lakshya maheshwari?? "😮

" yes, it's me..." he winks his eye...

And dad laughed at us...

My god! It's  that lucky monkey who was my enemy cum friend.... In  school...the trouble maker... He is back... I am dead then...

Then lakshya also laughed as if he read my mind...

I just smiled sheepishly....

Somebody calls dad ... he excused  us and went off...

What's this? A minute ago, I was upset that I don't know anyone... But Now, I have the one whom I know  from head to tail ...

I could see an evil smirk on lakshya's sorry Lucky's face... That's what he wants everyone to call him...

He forwards his hand... "Hi"

I did a 'namaste' by joining both my hands... And smiled... Lucky frowns at this... And takes Back his hand...

It's not that I am a 'typical Indian woman'...who doesn't touch any man other than her husband... U fools.!.. It's that I don't want to take any risk when the great prankster is in front of me....
What if he had dipped his hand in a sugar syrup!
What if he had a gum smeared over his hand!

Na baba Na... No more getting fooled... It's the payback time ' Lucky'...
I smirked inside...

L: so, what's up?
U r in ur final year of administration right? 
Uncle told u r joining him next year...

R: hmm... What about u? 
How come u landed in Bangalore?
Kolkata kicked u back haan?  I chuckled...

L: (a layer of guilt trails down his face... Which ragini failed to notice... )
Actually yes! Kolkata did kick me out...I recentlpy joined dad's business...I will look after the Bangalore branch. Also, dad is planning to shift whole business here...In short, I am a banglorean again.... He smiles..

R: That's great...welcome back...

Lucky smiles ..." Thank you"

He gets a call... " I ll catch u later... " excused and went somewhere...

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

" What a transformation! Is he my lucky? Who was well known for his nonsense talks.. Also, the pranks.This one tho gentleman nikla...
Is that he is grown up and became mature....Or something else...?

It all started 20 years ago... When I was  just a 5 year old and dad had admitted me to the prestigious school of the city....

It was the first day of my school... Lower kindergarten... Like every other child, I too made  a 'Rona ' session for not wanting to go to school... leaving mom and dad...

But, mom is mom... She dressed me in the uniform and got me to the school...
I was a bit late of 2 days so all I could see are strange faces of around my age...
Some weeping... Some being quiet... Some jumping... Some laughing... One among them was this crazy boy 'lakshya'... jumping around...

I held my mom Saree so tight... Not wanting to leave.
Mom started telling me some soothing words...but Nothing worked..

It was then 'lakshya' came to us." hey, new admission ?
Common, leave ur mom and join us... We  all are ur friends...we will enjoy a lot"

I felt someone so caring other than my parents... I slowly released my mom's Saree...

He turned towards my mom whose eyes were also brimmed seeing me
" hello aunty! Leave her and go... I am there no... Don't u worry... I ll take care of her... " he said as if he knows me from ages...

Those words still echo in my ears...

Mom was so surprised with his maturity... He had impressed mom at his first sight...
She caressed his head and kissed his cheeks...

She also kissed my cheek and promised me that she would come early and gave my hand to him...

The little lakshya took my hands and made me sit next to him... " hey, my name is Lucky... What's ur name? "

I told him sniffing
" ra..ragini"

L: u look like my doll... Same to same...

R:u...u also look like my teddy... Same to same...

He chuckled at that... And started  describing about the school... His house, parents and his friends...

Donno why! I was so comfortable with him.... Like with my dad and mom.

Like this, I found my first friend... Also, best friend... my nervousness to go to school vanished... In fact, i used to eagerly go to school to meet my teddy...

After some days, we came to know that his dad and my dad are best friends and they stay close to our house in the next street...and our bond grew even more...

I saw Lakshya speaking to the foreign delegates...being polite  with a businessman attitude...

He has become a perfect man... The dream man of many girls... But still, I like my lucky than this lakshya..
My mind again took a tour to our good old memories..

Lakshya was a very charming boy since a kid...
All teachers were fan of him... He was also famous for another thing... That's the mole below his left lip like a beauty spot... Any body could recognise him by that... Apart from being cute, he was also a intelligent fellow...
My tough competitor in studies...

That's the only time we both used to  compete/fight... Our fight never used to last more than a day... It's him who finally pacifies me whosoever done the mistake... He had not left any chance irritating me with his pranks...

" ragini, U look so cute when u get irritated... Also, I like ur pout very much... " this is what he had told me once...

"ragini, call me lucky Okk ..  Not lakshya...its sounds like a girl... " I still remember him whining...

"ragini, I don't like u talking with that fatty Jiyaan...U r my friend...only my friend"
this is how possessive he was...

"ragini, this time u won!! next time, be ready to lose.." the time he lost in chess..

"ragini, the snake has bit me.... I am dying... And falls unconscious... " the worst prank he had played for April Fool...

"ragini, the princess role is for girls with long hair... Not for u... And laughs with his friends... " the time he insulted me...

" ragini, sorry no... I was just kidding... U took it serious...dekho, khan pakad ke sorry... Don't stop talking to me... "  the way he pacified...

This episode is not enough to explain our relation... I ll tell u all some other day...

Our teachers and parents knew about our friendship and always admired us...

Our friendship continued like  a  ' sweet n salt'  biscuit... for 5 more years... The day had come which we both had never expected...

Lakshya 's  father had decided to shift his business to kolkata and merge with his father in law's business as he had fallen ill and there is none to take care ...

"ragini, I am going to kolkata... Will u miss me?"

"ragini, I ll not miss u at all... I would get new friends... I am bored of seeing ur same face... I am very excited to go"  the last conversation we had...

I was angry on him for his confession for months... But  later, I realised its to make me get over of him and lead  my life...

Lucky was admitted to boarding school in kolkata as he was growing naughty day by day... Also, his parents were busy settling their business...

Thus, we lost the contact...

Few years back, I heard dad telling that lakshya  name is in Limca book of records... For his high IQ and fastest arithmetic calculation ...

Thats expected... He was indeed intelligent in the lower classes itself...
He had also skipped 2 classes and got direct admission to high school... That's why he is ahead of me and has already joined the business...

It's not that I had totally forgotten him... How can I?
His charming face... His cute talks...His irritating pranks... Just that we were busy in each other's world..

After that... This is the first time I am hearing and seeing him....
I was shocked, surprised and excited...

And the thought that I was drooling over him made me horrified...

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

That's it!!

Will continue in next chapter with lakshya's pov..
