Ragini: then go and marry her. Why did you come here?

She says angrily. Laksh shakes his head as he keeps one of his hands over hers. Ragini tries to take her hand back but he don't let her.

Laksh: aww mera bachcha naraz ho gaya!

He says smiling a little but Ragini doesn't reply.

Laksh: Ragini?

Ragini: I'm not talking to you!

Laksh chuckles inwardly as he remembers her previous 'I'm not talking to you' mission.

Laksh: oh really?

Ragini: yes!

Laksh: I was thinking about going to have an ice-cream before dropping you at your house but you're angry with me and not talking to me. What now? I guess, plan dropped!

Ragini: I'm not talking to you but you can take me to the ice-cream parlor.

She says still looking away. Laksh chuckles at that. He takes the car to an ice-cream parlor and both of them gets out of the car.

Laksh: one chocolate and one butterscotch!

He says to the vendor. Both Raglak moves to a table and sits besides each other. Ragini takes out her phone to check for any notifications.

Ragini: no message or call from anyone! They're not worried for us?

Laksh: I told you. They must be thinking that we patched up and are spending time with each other.

Ragini first nods and then glares him.

Ragini: did you forget that I'm not talking to you?

Laksh: no, I didn't but you yourself talked to me!

Ragini: I didn't talk to you. I was talking to myself. Okay!

Laksh: oh, I see! And you're still not talking to me. Right?

Ragini: sahi pakde hai!

Laksh shakes his head in disbelief and a boy comes there with their ice-creams. Ragini was having her chocolate ice-cream but her eyes were on Laksh's butterscotch ice-cream. Laksh was looking at his phone while licking his ice-cream.

Ragini thinks that he's busy with his phone and will not notice so she moves her face towards his ice-cream and licks it and then sits like she didn't do anything. The corner of Laksh's lips lifts up at that. He looks at her who was now busy with her own ice-cream and licks his own.

He again turns his eyes to his phone and Ragini again licks his ice-cream but this time he looks at her immediately. Ragini smiles sheepishly, feeling caught.

Laksh: did we patch up?

Ragini: no, not yet! Who told this to you?

Laksh: you ate my ice-cream!

Ragini: so what? I said I'm not talking to you. I didn't say that I'll not eat your ice-cream! Okay!

Laksh: okay! I got it and I guess, you are still angry on me and not talking to me?

Ragini: yes! How many times I have to say this! Huh...

She turns her face away.

Laksh (in mind): how can God make her so cute and adorable!

They leaves after having their ice-cream and Laksh drops Ragini at her house.

***

Ragini enters inside her house and finds her sisters sitting together in the hall. She moves towards them and sits with them.

Ragini: you didn't call me to ask me where I was? You were not worried for your Di?

Naina: we knew that you were with jiju and thought not to disturb you both!

Misha: by the way, which hotel?

Ragini: hotel? For what?

Misha: you were with jiju! Obviously you wouldn't be roaming on the road, all the night. In which hotel did you stay?

She asks wriggling her eyebrows.

Ragini: huh... You're stupid! There is nothing like what you're thinking! So stop your fantasies here only!

Misha: really? Then why your clothes are changed? This happens everytime you go with jiju and stay the night out of the house. You go in some other clothes and come back in some other. What does it mean?

She asks raising her eyebrows.

Ragini: shut up! Don't know how your mind even works!

Misha: and this time you're wearing a lehenga! Did you both get married again?

She asks with wide eyes.

Naina and Misha: without us!

Naina: di, how can you do this? You didn't tell us!

Ragini: Nainu, you also started. There's nothing like that. We didn't get married. It's a long story. I'll tell you later. I'm going to get freshen up now. I'm very hungry.

Naina: I'll take care of it.

Ragini nods and leaves for her room.

***

Next day, Misha and Ryan leaves for their college while everyone else leaves for work.

Misha enters inside the classroom and finds Ryan sitting on the first bench. She moves towards him and sits besides him. Ryan looks at her and frowns.

Misha: hello, Mr Bandar!

Ryan: hi and you are not welcomed here, Ms Chipkali.

Misha: you don't know my value. You don't have any idea that people are dying to sit with me.

She says pushing her hair back, showing attitude.

Ryan: huh... You're saying it wrong. It should be like, it's better for people to die instead of sitting with you.

Misha: then go and die!

She says glaring him and hits her bag on his head. Ryan glares her back and pushes her away. Both of them then starts arguing, shouting and screaming without any specific reason. The professor comes there and the scene is witnessed by him. He throws them out of the classroom.

Both were now standing outside the classroom and were glaring each other like enemies. They turns their faces away and starts walking in opposite direction.

***

Ragini was sitting in her cabin, working when someone knocks on the door. She calls the person in. The door gets open and a peon enters inside with a bouquet of white and red roses and a gift box. Ragini looks at him confused.

Peon: mam, these are for you.

Ragini: who sent them?

Peon: don't know! A boy came to give these. He said these are for you.

Ragini nods. She tells him to keep them on her table. The peon does the same and then leaves.

Ragini takes the bouquet and smiles as she smells the flowers and runs her hand over them. She then notices the chit attached to it. She takes it out and reads it.

Ragini: I want to make up for all my stupidities and wrong decisions. I want to make everything right. I want to tell you what you are to me. There's something for you in the box. Be ready at eight ~ Yours love!

She smiles reading the note.

Ragini: something is cooking in Mr Maheshwari's mind! How did he come to know that I love red and white roses? I don't remember telling him.

She then unwraps the packing of the box and takes out the saree from it. It was a peach and silver colored beautiful saree.

Ragini: you have a great choice when it comes to sarees.

She smiles widely and looks at the wall clock.

Ragini: it's only one!

She pouts.

***

Arjun was sitting in his cabin, yawning as he was going through some files.

Arjun: working has no fun!

He takes his phone and smirks as he dials Naina's number.

Naina: hello...

Arjun: am I talking to the most beautiful girl in the world?

He asks in a flirty tone.

Naina: no! I guess you dialed the wrong number.

Arjun: no! I've dialed the very right number!

Naina: bruh! Why did you call? I'm in the office.

Arjun: I can't call you without any reason?

Naina: only when I'm free and currently, I'm very busy.

Arjun: and what are you busy with?

Naina: I'm mopping the floor of the office!

Arjun: what?

Naina: I told you that I'm in the office then obviously, I must be working na! You too do some work. Don't pass your time.

Arjun: sometimes you act like Laksh bhai.

Naina: because both of us want your good!

Arjun: aha, bhai wants my good because he's my elder brother. Why do you want my good? Hum aapke hain kaun?

Naina: aap humari ek behen ke ho chuke or ek ke hone wale devar hain! Happy?

Arjun: ofcourse not! I wanted to hear something else.

Naina: like?

Arjun: nothing! Okay bye... I'll call you later. I just remembered that bhai gave me some important work to complete.

Naina: okay!

Arjun disconnects the call and hits the phone on his head.

Arjun: God! When will she understand my feelings? Or she ignores me knowingly?

***

Laksh was sitting on the chair in front of his desk and a pile of files was kept in front of him. He was going through them one by one.

Laksh: my stupid brothers stopped coming to office when I was in jail. Huh...

After a while.

Laksh: I hope Ragini will like the saree. How will she look wearing it? Obviously, breathtaking like always!

He chuckles and then holds his head.

Laksh: damn Laksh! You're behaving like a love sick puppy. It's unbelievable to me also. I'm so excited to see her.

Just then his phone starts ringing. He picks it up after seeing the caller I'd. It was saved as principal.

Laksh: hello sir!

Principal: Mr Maheshwari, you said that your wife will be joining the college. It has been a week that the new session has started but she didn't come yet and we all have seen the news! You're not together now. Will she be coming to the college or shall we give the seat to some other student.

Laksh: no no... She'll be joining soon. We had some personal issues but they'll be sorted out soon. Most probably, she'll join in a week.

Principal: okay! Just wanted to know this. Thank you.

Laksh sighs as he keeps the phone aside and starts thinking something. Just then someone knocks on the door.

Laksh: come in!

The door gets open and Sanskar enters inside. Both of them hits together and starts discussing about business.

***

Laksh was standing in front of his wardrobe, thinking about what to wear.

Laksh: first of all it's so difficult to find the clothes because of the logic that crazy girl has kept them and secondly, I'm not even getting what to wear. I didn't know that choosing clothes will be so difficult, someday.

He starts moving here and there.

Laksh: uhm... Ragini's favourite color his red but I don't wear red suit! It's not my taste. Then what shall I wear? Argh... Okay! I should wear something complimenting her saree! Arhm... Black! It goes with everything! Yes!

He moves towards the cupboard and finally after about ten minutes he gets successful in taking out the suit he wanted.

He gets dressed and then looks at his watch.

Laksh: only half an hour is left. I need to practice what I have to say in front of her. I can't make any mistake.

He moves towards the mirror and stands in front of it.

Laksh: ahem... ahem... Ragini, I know I'm very stupid... Wait! I'm stupid? Ofcourse not! Then... Ya... See, you love me and I love you so we should be together and I'm providing no other option to you. Let's get married tomorrow. Aargh... Laksh! You're looking like you're threatening, not proposing. Be polite man! Take a deep breath... Now start! I love you! Huh... It's very simple and plane... Laksh Maheshwari's proposal can't be boring. Bachcha, from when you've come into my life my life has become like heaven. What the hell Laksh! It's very very bad! Oh God! What exactly I'm going to say. I have no idea! And damn! I'm feeling so nervous! No! I can't be nervous. Laksh Maheshwari is a man of confidence. Yes! I'm confident. Bhagwan please sambhal lena. Meri izzat ka sawal hai!

He runs his hand through his hear as he looks at himself in the mirror.

Laksh: I'm looking good!

He chuckles as he moves towards the side table, picks up the car keys and leaves the room.

***

Ragini was sitting in her room, waiting for Laksh and was going through a mind battle.

Ragini: am I looking good? Are these earrings looking good with this saree? Oh God! I forgot to apply kohl. I'm such an idiot!

She runs towards the dressing table and applies kohl.

Ragini: better! Anything else is left? I don't think so!

Just then she hears the sound of car horn!

Ragini: he's here! Oh my God! Why am I feeling nervous? I'm not meeting him for the first time. What is happening with me? Relax Ragini! Calm down and smile. What he's going to say?

She takes a deep breath and leaves the room.

***

Laksh was constantly looking in the direction from where she was supposed to come. He was getting desperate. He blows horn again and stops when he sees her coming out of the house. His heart forgets to beat as he stares the beauty in front of him.

Ragini opens the door and gets on the passenger seat. She then looks at Laksh who was lost in her beauty.

Ragini: why are you looking at me like this? Am I looking very bad? I knew it! I'm not looking good na... You're looking so handsome and I'm looking bad.

She pouts as she keeps looking at him for an answer.
