Laksh was sitting in his room, thinking ideas to impress Ragini.

Laksh: god damn! What should I do? I never thought of ideas to impress a girl or a date! These things aren't my cup of tea. Last time bhi kitni mehnat aur dimaag laga tha date organize karne mein! Don't know what all this crazy girl will make me do!

He gets up and starts walking around the room.

Laksh: think Laksh think! Shall I take her for a movie?

Just then he remembers what happened when he took her for a movie on her birthday.

Laksh: not in any condition I'm going to repeat that mistake. I'll not take her for a movie ever in my life. Her focus and attention turns more to the hero on the screen than to her hero sitting besides her. She completely ignored me that day! Huh...

Laksh: then? Date in a park? No ways!

He says with a horrified face, remembering the park incident on the same day.

He runs his hands through his hair as he keeps moving around. After about half an hour his face lits up as he finally gets an idea. He takes out his phone and texts Ragini.

Laksh: be ready tomorrow at five in the evening. I'll come to pick you from your house.

Ragini: why🙄?

Laksh: we're going out.

Ragini: sorry but I have an important work in office tomorrow so I'll be back till eight. I'm so busy😰.

Laksh: stop lying and work is more important than me?

Ragini: yes😁!

Laksh: duh, come back early, ok!

Ragini: I'll think about it😈.

Laksh: what think about it ha? You'll come back early from the office and will go with me. That's it!

Ragini: you're angry with me or I'm angry with you😒?

Laksh: off course you're angry with me that's why you're showing so much tantrums to me.

Ragini: tantrums! I'm showing tantrums! Really? Tell me one thing, you're making up for your mistakes or increasing them in number😣?

Laksh: aaarggghhh... See, you have only two options:
Option 1: be ready at five and come with me tomorrow.
Option 2: let's get married tomorrow.

Ragini: huh... I'm mad at you and you're ordering me only and for your kind information Mr Maheshwari, I don't accept feeke and boring proposals😴.

Laksh: don't worry would me Mrs Maheshwari, my proposal will be so good that you can never deny it.

Ragini: overconfidence😏

Laksh: nope, this is Laksh Maheshwari's confidence.

Ragini: whatever😪!

Laksh: ok bye, good night!

Ragini: ditto😼!

Laksh: she didn't even say good night love.

He pouts as he falls on the bed and closes his eyes.

Laksh: I miss cuddling with you.

He mumbles with closed eyes.

***

Ragini: this is also not working.

She says as she throws the pillow where a teddy was already thrown.

Ragini: none of these are providing the warmth and comfort he gives me.

She makes a crying face and falls back on the bed.

Ragini: don't know how long he'll take to propose me! I'm just waiting to say a yes because I know he'll do his hundred percent to make up for everything. I know my Laksh. He do everything perfectly.

***

Laksh was in the car, outside the Gadodia Mansion. He was continuously blowing horn from past five minutes. He stops when he sees Ragini coming out with an angry face. She was wearing a red long kurti with a white palazzo. She moves to the passenger seat and sits on it.

Ragini: I'm not deaf. I heard the horn in first time only. There wasn't any need of increasing noise pollution.

Laksh: then why didn't you come out in first time only?

He asks as a matter of fact.

Ragini: I was getting ready.

Laksh: I informed you one hour before that I'll be here in an hour, still you were not ready. Unbelievable!

He says shaking his head in disbelief. Ragini glares him at that.

Ragini: ya, I wasn't ready and you know what Mr Maheshwari, we're not going anywhere now.

She says angrily as she gets out of the car. Laksh looks at her shocked. He also gets out of the car and moves towards her. Ragini starts walking back towards the house but he stops her by holding her hand.

Laksh: Ragini!

She turns to him.

Ragini: what Ragini? You have got no patience. You can't even wait for me, not even for five minutes!

She says poking her index finger on his chest. Laksh looks at her finger and then up at her.

Laksh: is it something new for you? Wasn't I always like this? Then what happened now? I can't change Ragini. You know that very well.

Ragini remains quiet for a while.

Ragini: I know you're like this and without any doubt, I love you like you are but I just want to see what all you can do for me. I'm not telling you to change because I don't want you to change. I fell in love with my Mr Akdu and I'll always be in love with him only. I just want you to prove that you can do anything for me, whether it's controlling your anger and keeping patience until we're not Mr and Mrs Maheshwari. I'm not telling you to be like that permanently because I know you can't. That's not you and I want you to be you always. I just want to feel special by seeing that you can do anything for making our relationship work or at least try, just for some days.

Laksh sighs and then smiles.

Laksh: okay, as you wish! I'll try to be patient! But I'm not promising anything after all this gets over.

Ragini nods as that. Laksh takes a breath of relief.

Laksh: now please...

He says as he opens the door for her. Ragini sits inside with attitude. Laksh shakes his head as he moves to the driving seat. He starts driving.

Ragini: we're going to the hill top!

She says as she notices the way they were going.

Laksh: just wait until we reach our destination.

Ragini makes faces at that. A few minutes passes like that.

Ragini: this is so boring.

She says as she keeps both of her hands on her face.

Laksh: did you indirectly mean that I am boring?

He asks with wide eyes. Ragini looks at him and nods. Laksh frowns at that.

Ragini: neither you're talking anything or flirting nor you're playing any romantic music like boys do to create mood. You didn't even compliment me! You're just driving like I'm not sitting on the seat beside yours. Do you think a beautiful girl like me will get impressed like this? Not even in your dreams I'll get impressed like this!

She says rolling her eyes. Laksh stares her for a few seconds before speaking.

Laksh: that's so old fashioned and cheesy! Playing music in the car and flirting indirectly.

Ragini: but I love old fashioned and cheesy things. I like these things only! Do you have any problem with it?

She asks sternly.

Laksh: no! Absolutely not!

Ragini: good for you!

Laksh (in mind): if I have any problem then also I can't tell that to you at this point of time!

Laksh: let's talk about it a few minutes later. For now, can I ask you something?

Ragini looks on at the change of his tone. He was serious now.

Ragini: hmm...

She hums, signing him to continue.

Laksh: did you ever get the thought that I chose my brothers over you by taking the decision of going to jail to save them?

Ragini was taken aback by his question. She never thought like that.

Ragini: no, I didn't. I know I'm equally important to you. And there wasn't any chance or option like choosing. It was just your stupidity that made you take that decision but I definitely thought one thing.

Laksh: what's that?

Ragini: how dare you underestimate me? You thought that I can't fight for you, with you and for our family that's why you listened to that Sachin Singhania. How dare you Mr Laksh Maheshwari?

She asks with gritted teeth. Laksh laughs at that.

Laksh: aww mera bachcha...

He says as he pulls her cheek with his one hand. Ragini glares him and turns her face to the window to hide the smile and blush that was appearing on her face.

Ragini (mumbles): traitor face! How can it blush when I'm mad at him? This is against my plan! Huh...

Laksh: Ragini...

Ragini: hmm...

Laksh: thank you...

Ragini: for what?

Laksh: for choosing me to love.

Ragini smiles at that.

Ragini: I know I have a big heart.

She says in attitude.

Laksh: indeed! The biggest!

He says as he stares her with admiration. He then stops the car and starts getting out.

Ragini: what are we doing in the jungle?

She asks as she also gets out of the car.

Laksh: do you remember that our story actually started from this jungle? We had the actual conversation in this jungle only. We came to know each other and got closer here only.

Ragini: off course, I remember everything. How can I forget that? It was such an amazing and adventurous incident of our lives.

She says chuckling.

Laksh: so today! Let's get lost in the jungle once again!

Ragini looks at him shocked.

Ragini: are you serious?

She asks with wide eyes. Laksh nods at that.

Ragini: but what about wild animals?

Laksh: don't worry, we're wilder than them. Aren't we?

He asks winking at her. Ragini chuckles at that.

Ragini: Laksh, I never thought that you'll think of something like this!

Laksh: is it a compliment?

Ragini: yes, it's a compliment! The idea is so thrilling and good. A date in the jungle! It'll be too much fun!

Laksh: I knew your crazy mind will definitely like this idea.

Ragini: hehe... I just loved this idea.

She says as she starts jumping.

Laksh: see, you already started jumping like a monkey in the jungle. You'll fit here perfectly.

He says laughing. Ragini stops jumping and starts glaring him.

Ragini: did you just call me a monkey?

She asks as she starts moving towards him. Laksh starts running at that and Ragini starts running behind him.

Ragini: let me remind you Mr Maheshwari that you are a monkey not me! Did you forget that MD thing?

Laksh stops running at that and turns to look at her. He was glaring her now. Ragini smirks at that. She moves towards him and pulls both of his cheeks.

Ragini: aww mera Akdu...

Laksh shakes his head as he holds her hand and both of them starts walking. Ragini was happily walking with him because spending time with him is her most favorite work to do.

Ragini: it's getting dark.

Laksh: are you afraid?

Ragini: no, I'm very brave.

Laksh: yaah, that's why you're not breaking my arm with your tight hold.

Ragini: huh... By the way, who we are to each other at present? Hum aapke hain kaun?

She asks making Laksh stop in his tracks. He looks at her.

Laksh: main tera boyfriend tu meri girlfriend! (I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend!)

He says pulling her to himself. Ragini gasps at that.

Ragini: you know, I never had any boyfriend in past. I don't know anything about this kind of relationship.

Laksh: even I didn't have any girlfriend so we'll learn on our own.

He says as his hands snakes around her waist and smirks.

Ragini: Laksh!

Laksh: what happened?

Ragini: there...

She points towards a direction. Laksh follows her gaze and gets shocked seeing a tribal group in front of them. All of the people of the group were staring them.

Ragini: Laksh! They're going to eat us!

Laksh: ae... I don't think so! They seems good and harmless.

"He's the one!" says a young girl from the group.

"What?" asks others.

"I'll get married to him, big brother." says the girl as she points at Laksh and then she looks at a man who seems to be the head of the group.

Ragini and Laksh looks at each with with shocked and horrified looks on their faces.
