Let's begin......

"Rohan likes me" Ragini told Sanskar suddenly while he was ready to sleep.
He turns towards her shocked.
"I think." She continued while still looking at the ceiling.

He was clueless of what to reply.
"What do I do Sanskar?" She asked him in much polite way since she call his full name once in a while when she is in trouble of mind.
"Did he tell you this?"he asked her in return.
"NO!"
"Then how come you came to the conclusion"
"Someone else told me"she replied.
he left out a breath."did you question him regarding this"

Ragini :yup and I told him.
"Told him what?"
Ragini:told him I wish this is false.
He literally ended up smiling:you handled it then why are you telling me all of this?
Ragini : I can't hide it!
He just looks on. She definitely taught him something.
Something was definitely off with him.

While on the other side..

Rohan: yuvi...what should I do?
Yuvi:I really don't know yaar. Probably she is just shocked.
Karan: since it's unexpected. And who knows how nikhil used words with her. He could instigate against you. So can't say anything.
Yuvi: I think you should have clear conversation with her. So she understands you. It's better if you confess to her in proper way.
Rohan: I think you are right.
Karan: Ragini is one such girl that she would have never dated or fell in love with someone. I don't think she would have crush on someone. So yeah, suddenly she knows through someone that you love her then it's normal. In fact she could have reacted worse but still handled in mature way. Now it's upon you to make her fall in love with you.
Rohan smiles. Just with confessing thing he is too happy and excited as well nervous. But what will happen to him if she accepted his proposal.

******************************

Aditi:hey Sanskar..
Sanskar who just stepped out of his car looked at her surprisingly. Two stuffs just ran in his mind.
Aditi smacks her fingers.
Sanskar:yeah..hey hai.
Aditi: where were you lost?
Sanskar:no where..say you here..
Aditi:why? can't I come to meet you ..?
Sanskar just did not reply but looks at her the way she was so casual with him these days. Just 2 days back she met him.
Aditi:I just wanted to relive our old friends..oh this busy days that we could not even plan a small dinner party together.
After their breakup they did not even see each other for years.
It ain't something to worry but still he got such a thought that why she is acting so cool with him.
Her breakup with abhimanyu was none of his business.but Ragini's thoughts was..now he could really understand Ragini.

Aditi:Again you are lost.
She literally smacked her fingers
Sanskar:yeah.. let's move inside.
Aditi smiles widely.

On the other side...
Ragini was reaing a book when Yuvraj sits beside her.
Ragini looks at him and smiles clutching her book.she continued reading.
Yuvraj:Ragini .. it's been quite a long time now.you did not tell any of us about yourself.yeah you did..but just that your parents brother and sister.
Ragini continued looking at the book but she was nervous somewhat:say ..
Ragini:like what else?
Yuvi:dreams,goals,passion and relationships.
Ragini:all 3 I am not sure about and the last I am particularly not interested.
While Roan looks on who was arguing with kirthi about a lame thing
Kirthi:good Ragini..stay single stay happy.these jerks definitely don't deserve us.
Yuvi:hey..why are you taking out Rohan's anger on me.
Kirthi:because you deserve it.
Rohan wanted her to respond to his feelings.definitely he can't have the damn patience until she accept him.he definitely needed a shortcut.what should he do?!!

Here Aditi sips coffee: it's been long time that we are on cafe together.
Sanskar smiles a bit.he was actually uncomfortable because of her sudden change these days that she is being friendly with him.
He did not touch his coffee ...
Aditi:what happened Sanskar?did you not like the coffee.
Sanskar:no... But Aditi can I be frank than talking indirect or explaining things.
Aditi looks at him.
Sanskar:can I?
She nods of not being sure what is he gonna say.

Sanskar:I can't..
He just stop being frustrated on himself.no matter he just can't be direct as Ragini.

He left out a breath:I am not liking it Aditi...
Aditi:what Sanskar?
Sanskar:you being nice to me.i really don't like it.despite whatever our past was..but now I can't even see you as a friend. Since it's so long that we lost contacts.
He close his eyes as he did not wanted to say out loud the last line.
Aditi gets hurt but did not say anything.
Sanskar:Ragini knows that you were my ex.i don't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
Aditi: did she tell you this?but now she isn't here.
Sanskar:I did not say she told me but I told that I don't wanna make her feel uncomfortable in any way it could be.And it doesn't matter if she is here or not.
Tears rolls down her eyes.
Sanskar:sorry ...I am really sorry I did not wanted to say this way..I am being impulsive and rude.i am really sorry.i did not intend to hurt you.
Sanskar:but please understand my point.
Aditi: Ragini is just your wife.why are you ignoring your personal life?your privacy?.
Sanskar looks at her not expecting her to say this:but Ragini is my personal life. Despite knowing everything you are still asking such question.
Aditi smiles sarcastic though tears were rolling on her cheeks:so what ?
Sanskar: So it's just that I don't feel good about you meeting me frequently. I hope you think about my point of view and understand the situation.
Sanskar:I am sorry Aditi but I don't know to put up better words.i might be rude.

Aditi:so there's no feelings in you for me.
He was really guilty when he put up his thought but when she asked him this question literally cleared things for him.it means he don't have to explain any more things now.but..
Sanskar:No...

He wasn't wrong with his words!!!

***************************

Karan:I feel his train missed again.
Rohan passed him a look. Yuvraj laughs.
When nikhil passed him and calls out Ragini who stepped out of the class room.
While trio looks at him.
Nikhil smiles:I guess...someone came to pick you up.
Ragini was about to go.
Nikhil: don't go on that route..people are prepping for annual day celebration. So it's a mess!!!
Ragini:Thank you.
Nikhil smiles.
Ragini moves from there.

Rohan:what were you doing?
Nikhil:what am I doing?
Rohan: don't act innocent.i know it was you who told Ragini about my feelings..I don't know what else you told her!!!
Nikhil being amused:so did she reject?of course she know that she deserve better!!!
Rohan:and that's me..
Nikhil:oh look at the hero here as if...
He laughs.
Rohan:you just wait and watch.
Nikhil:will see.. tumhe haarte hue dekhne mein bohot maza aayega!
He moves.

Rohan:he just boils my blood.
Karan:let it go..
Yuvraj:but I have a plan...propose her on the annual day celebration.
Karan:yeah it's a good plan.
Keerthi who just came there:what?Are you guys for serious.
Karan:yes... it's better to propose to know Ragini's feelings.
Keerthi shrugs her shoulder:I told you already but now it's upon you. though whatever it is?!
They look at her..
Keerthi:but don't forget we gotta meet Mr.Sanskar Maheshwari. We have 11 am sharp appointment.
Rohan:ah..I literally forgot.I tho definitely excited to meet him.
Keerthi:I'll inform Ragini..we can go meet him tomorrow.
Yuvraj:but do you think he would describe his achievements in one meet .
Keerthi:of course he would since he is the chief guest. If he didn't... Dean wouldn't leave us alive.
Karan:we can also privately ask him to invest him on our start up.

Ragini sees swara came to pick her up.
Ragini sits in the car.

Later...

******************************

Sanskar shakes his hand with Rohan,Yuvraj,Keerthi,Karan and they introduce themselves he looks at Ragini.she had a small smile.he forwards his hand to her:Ms..
Ragini:Ragini .
She shakes her hand with him.which got all 4 surprised.she was never comfortable in shaking hands.
Sanskar moves near the sofa in his cabin:please be seated.
While he stood leaning towards the table.

Rohan:sir before we start...am a big fan of you..
Sanskar smiles: Thank you but ..I don't think i deserve it.
Rohan:you really do.
Sanskar smiles
He sits and looks at the file:so you guys want to make a small documentary on how my life is?
They nods...
Sanskar:as long as its on work related it's fine.

And peon comes there and places bottles juices and snacks.
And Sanskar get's a call and he moves passing by Ragini.
And she slowly tilted her head towards him.
And looks front at the door and smiles.
Karan bends towards her:what happened that you are smiling?
All looks at her.
Ragini:that door is nice.
All were like seriously?it wasn't a special door that she compelement nice .
Sanskar left out a smile listening while he continued his conversation on phone.
While they take the drinks. She was struggling with the lid when Sanskar helps her out opening the lid in fraction of seconds and all watch him moving to his chair.
Keerthi:did he....
She looks at Ragini who was drinking water.
While Keerthi:nothing...
Rohan looks at Sanskar and then Ragini,he did see Sanskar helping out Ragini.he just shrug his shoulder while continuing to look into his laptop.

Keerthi:we would also want to be the first to show out your personal life...
Sanskar:sorry I don't want to...I want to keep my personal life reserved.
Keerthi:ohh..but we really wanted to...

There was some question and answer session.
Sanskar literally answered moving from one side to another.
Ragini was sitting silently.
Keerthi was about to ask the question.
Sanskar:between...why this colleague (pointing towards Ragini) of yours is silent and I would like people invest themselves in everything they do..
Ragini did not speak anything either she reacted anyway.
Keerthi:uhm..sir.. she likes being like this but...these presentation is prepared by her.
Rohan:but sir please don't mind would it matter if she talks or not. (Smiles)we are not here for a job?
All looks at him..he was really rude with his tone.
Sanskar smiles stretching his lips and nods:of course.it doesn't matter!!!
Yuvraj: let's.. let's just continue with the interview.
Once they finish with it.
They stood.
Sanskar:you can go meet the manager to know about company projects
They move out.
While Ragini who was neatly arranging books stood to follow them but she could not unsee the mess on table by her friends who just left the half used water bottles without even putting the lid back.and the cookie powder dropped on the table.

Karan:you just literally screwed almost .
Rohan was bit upset:you don't know how he just asked.
Keerthi:I did not find anything wrong.he was professional.anyone would have asked the same.
Rohan:I really admired him..I really felt he pointed her out. Despite knowing...
Keerthi:he know it already that makes the difference here.he might wanted her to help her out.
Rohan:might be but really I did not feel good about it.
Keerthi:nobody asked your feelings.what if Ragini wants to work with him in future..?You are making it difficult for her.
Yuvraj smiles:cool..we can't leave her bro...she is our creative head in our start up.
And she smiles:yeah..you are right.
Karan:but he won't invest definitely.all thanks to Rohan.
Rohan:now what do you want me to do?(but stops)hey where's Ragini?
He literally turns and moved

Sanskar closes the lid on the bottles and cleans the mess and arranges newspaper.
Ragini looks at him as she was supposed to do each of that thing but he did it just before she could touch them.
Sanskar:anything else?
He laughs a bit as she was quite embarassed though she can't express it out.
That's when Rohan opened the door and he heard him.he sees Sanskar smiling.
Ragini slowly moves out.
Rohan:Ragini.. let's go.

Outside..
Rohan:what was he saying?did he make fun of you in any way? You can tell me.
Ragini:does...does it matter?
He looks on as he did not expect her to say this.
Rohan:of course you are my friend.
Ragini:I know ..I..what I should do. I can answer. You somehow make me feel pathetic.
Rohan:no...I did not mean it.
While other trio looks at them.
Ragini:I know I am slow and I am wierd also I am pathetic but you don't have to speak for me.like the way I explained to you.i can represent myself to him or anyone. I can face it!

Karan to Yuvraj:he is screwed here as well.
Yuvraj nod his head in disbelief:I don't think it's a good idea for him to propose her this soon.he should wait and stop acting impulsive.
Karan:I cannot agree more!
Keerthi looks at them:though I hate to admit but I agree with you.

******************************

Sanskar:here?
As he pressed her head since she told him about her headache.
Sanskar: why is this the sudden headache?
Ragini: Sansii.. you still don't know headaches can start anytime and anywhere.medical science states head ache can occur due to stress, cold, Mensus or....
Sanskar stops her:I know..
Ragini:then you should not ask that..between there's bigger disease as well.. tuberculosis,brain hemorrhage...
He covers her mouth:I just asked..
Ragini:and my reason is periods...
Sanskar:ohh...

Sanskar:I see Rohan is quite protective about you.
Ragini:offensive..
Sanskar:he clearly wasn't...
While he continued to press her head
Ragini: he was..
Sanskar:he did...
She did not reply. But she stood:I am sleepy..
She goes to bed and sleeps.
Sanskar looks on

He moves to her and pulls the comfort for her.
Sanskar:I have something to discuss with dad.i'll come back in sometime. You go to sleep.
Ragini:okay..good night!!!

He stepped out and smiles. He was somewhat jealous of Rohan for no reason.

To be continued......
