I hold him tightly and was just shivering all over my body. Hugged him and couldn't leave him. I was to scared. My mind was blank. I just saw all the old flashbacks. I was it all again.
"Don't do anything to my family! They didn't do anything! Leave them!"
And baaaam! A fire of shoots. I was looking all around. "Ragini. Relax." I looked in those simple brown sparkling eyes of hope. My hope. I just whispered his name.
Once. Twice.
Again and again like a mantra.
I felt his hand on my waist and could feel how my feet got easier. I was just closing my eyes and got carried by a man who was my saviour.
I opened my eyes and saw Laksh holding my hand tightly looking outside of the window. He was lost in his own thoughts. I was in a state where I was just holding his hand and had my head on his shoulder. I just was there like that. I needed someone. It was only him.
"Thanks..." He was back to reality looked around and saw me and smiled lightly. "You don't have to say thank you." We had a silence when he talked to me. "Are you feeling better?" I nodded. "Good." And again without my knowledge I just closed my eyes and drifted off in a deep sleep while we headed to the rented house.
I opened my eyes and saw his face looking straight. I was again in his safe and strong arms. I heard his heart beat raising so fast and yet so simple relaxing. It made me to be calm. I closed my eyes and heard to his beats and placed my hand on his chest. I heard his voice. "Please open the door." I heard how the door got opened. I was placed on the bed. I opened the eyes and was looking in his beautiful brown eyes.
"Why?" He put the blanket on me and stood there and waited till I asked the question. "Why are you with me? Why are you bearing it all?"
A smile pooped on his face and sat down. "The true answer?" "Please." He looked at me. "I really don't know but I know that I have to be with you."He touched my forehead for few seconds and put his hand away, stood up slowly and looked at me. " Can I call you Ragini?" A small smile appeared on my face. I nodded.
He smiled at me and nodded slowly and went out of the room. He left me there with my strange heart and my strict mind. I closed my eyes and recollected everything what happened in the last few days. The kidnapping. The voice of the man who advised the kidnapper. Everything.
I was frightened but I observed and absorbed everything around me. The voice was changed. The entire team listened just the the men who gave introductions to them. So there was someone above. There I had to begin. Who was it? Why did he want to hurt me? I mean I had many enemies but they did everything infront of me. He bsckstabbed me literally. Whoever it was I won't spare him that was crystal clear.
I had a long sleep and got up after hours. I was infront of the mirror and had a look at myself. I looked extremely bad. I looked terrible. I actually could mention every and word that came to my mind.
I had a cold shower and wore a white dress. I put my hair into a dutt and went out of the room. I saw him in the kitchen summing his songs while cooking a great dish. It smelled delicious. It was noon.
"Wow... you're a multi talented guy... Laksh." He looked up and nodded with a grin. "Of cours." He continued summing and turned to the other side to take a lemon. He moved here and there while I went the stairs down, sat down and looked at him.
I somehow admired this man. He was different. He tried to be gentle to me. He wanted to be nice. But somehow I hated him truly. He wanted to destroy my big wall. He wanted to destroy my big strong wall that I built in these years. With his nature he wanted to destroy it in little pieces. I had to stop it. Whatever it was between us. We were friends. Nothing more.
"Aaaaaand ready!" I was catapulted back to the hard reality because of his loud talking. I looked at him and saw his he came with two placed in his hand. He placed them down and went to the kitchen back took few other things and two glasses. "So Ragini. The last few dinners before we head back to India."He smiled at me and showed me to eat. "Enjoy your meal." I said the same and we started eating. We talked to each other and spent a nice time.
At night he wanted to see the nightlife of Singapore and I agreed to go out with him. Very new to me as I didn't like to do these kind of things.
"What about a club?" "I don't know choose whatever you want." He looked at me. "I have an idea. You'll choose a place where we can go and after that I'll choose a place. What do you think of it?" "Great."I smiled and told me where he wanted to go.
He wanted to go where you'll find the real spirit of Singapore.
We made us ready and headed onto the nightlife of Singapore to enjoy the last few days here in this country.
