Both Ragini and Laksh are in the same position for a while now. Ragini felt like she's flying high on sky while Laksh is completely in his own world with his wife. Just then Uttara knocks the door bringing both out of their trance.

Utt : Bhabhi would you like to sleep with me today? You know I feel bored. Let's play some games till midnight..

Uttara said smirking at Laksh. Ragini is surprised but agrees. On the other hand Laksh scolds Uttara under his breath as tonight Ragini won't be with him in their room. He gets irked and leaves while Uttara enjoys his misery. Ragini stands clueless and Uttara shakes her head seeing her naive behaviour. She drags her in to her room and locks the door. She swirls her happily while Ragini gets confused at her behaviour.

Rag : what happened Uttara why are you so happy? Share it with me.

Uttara : Bhabhi.. Babhi.. Bhabhi.. Finally it happened.

Rag still clueless "what happened"

Uttara : love Bhabhi love.. Finally love happened.

Ragini widens her eyes thinking something.

Rag : no no.. No uttu.. You are too young for it.. I'm sure some idiot would've seduced the innocent you.. Don't fall for it.. Not everyone is good like your laksh brother. First say his name ill try to find whether he's good or not for you.

Ragini continued ranting while Uttara looked open mouthed at her.

Uttara : Bhabhi are you for real? Love and me? Yuck.. Not all.. I'm way too young to even think about it.

Rag : then what were you saying before?

Uttara : Bhabhi I said love happened but not for me.. For Laksh Bhai.. Lucky Bhai finally fell in love.

Ragini gets teary eyed hearing it.

Rag : what's this Uttara? You said you want me to be your Bhabi but now Laksh fell for another girl and you are celebrating it. Are you really fine with it? But who's that girl? Is she so pretty?Of course laksh found her so she'll be pretty only..

Ragini once again continued her heartbreak ranting while Uttara falls on the bed defeated.

Uttara : Bhabhi enough. Stop it.. Not a word more. What has gotten into you? Why are you not understanding? Laksh bhai fell in love but not with any other girl but you..

Ragini gets stunned hearing it. It took sometime for her to finally catch up with what uttara said..

Rag : what are you saying uttara? Have you gone mad? Don't you know that I'm only his responsibility. Don't increase my hopes.. I'm happy with the way we are. I don't want my heart to be crushed with high expectations.

Uttara shakes her head disbelieving..

Uttara : bhabhi I'm not babbering.. Trust me.. I've seen before how he was gawking at you in the study room. He has really fell for you. May be he wouldn't have realised but he actually fell for you.

Ragini recalls their moment in the study room. Her cheeks gets heated up thinking about the way laksh was looking at her. She wishes Uttara's words to be true. There can't be anything more precious to her than having her laksh. She cries in happiness realizing that laksh have some sort of feelings for her.

Uttara hugs her seeing her crying..

Uttara : what happened bhabhi? Why are you crying?

Rag : It's tears of happiness uttu. I don't know what you said its true or not but I really want to believe it's true.

Uttara : it is the truth Bhabhi.. I've seen how irked Laksh bhai was when I said I'm taking you with me. I want to irritate him a bit for making you cry all these days.

Uttara said chuckling but Ragini holds her ears.

Uttara : ahh.. Bhabhi.. Why are you hurting me?

Ragini : how could you trouble my laksh like this? What's laksh fault? He can't force himself to love me.

Uttara : huh.. You are hopeless in love.. These are things girls love to do with their man. Irritate him, make him jealous..

Rag : no no i don't want anything like that for my laksh.. I only want him to love me back.

Uttara goes speech less with the amount of love Ragini has for laksh. She gets reminded of Sanskar.

Uttara : Bhabhi what about Sanskar Bhai.. Do you hate him for cheating you?

Laksh who came there to get Ragini back to his room with some excuse stops hearing this question.

Rag : No Uttara. I can never hate him. Yes I'm angry at him for cheating me but I can't hate him. I'm just waiting for his return

Laksh gets shocked hearing her confession. He couldn't hear more as he thought ragini forgot Sanskar but hearing her words he thinks that she's waiting for him to get back with him. His heart pained knowing that Ragini still loves Sanskar. He couldn't tolerate it and leaves teary eyed.

Uttara too gets taken aback by her words.

Uttara : Really Bhabhi? You are waiting for him?

Rag : yes Uttara.. Sanskar needs to come back as I can very well see the family missing him. I've seen chachi and maa speaking about them missing sanskar. He needs to come back soon. Running away can never take away his guilt. In a way I'm thankful to him too as he's the reason I got laksh. I feel bad for swara too. I don't know where she is. I feel guilty and it can be reduced only when these two come back.

Uttara nods understanding and they both leaves to bed.

In the room Laksh is looking at the moon and sheds tears. Ragini's words about waiting for sanskar keeps ringing in his ear.

Lak : How can I forget this? How can I forget how much ragini loved sanskar? She even begged her own sister to run away for sanskar. She bore all the hatred from family only for sanskar. How can she even forget him? I'm a fool to expect Ragini to accept me. She's still waiting for him...

Tears rolled down his eyes knowing that his ragini is waiting for someone else. He didn't felt anything close to this when swasan was getting married. But the thought of Ragini being sanskar's wife, he couldn't imagine it. He pulled his hairs out in frustration.

Lak : no i can't.. I will not let anybody else near Ragini. Why should I always suffer for others mistake? Its not like sanskar even love her. No. I will not give my ragini to anyone. Yes. I'm going to be selfish. I can never see Ragini with someone else. She's  mine.. SHE'S ONLY MINE..

He breaks the glass in fury..

Lak (with red eyes) : sanskar should never return.. Swara should never return..

He grits his teeth and leaves furiously. He calls someone and discuss something with them.

Lak : I'm sorry Ragini. I'm not going to be a mahaan by letting you go. I'll make you fall for me.. You should forget sanskar. YOU SHOULD FORGET HIM.

With a gritted teeth he leaves to uttara's room and knocks the door. A sleeping uttara wakes up. Ragini too wakes up with the sound. She opens the door to find laksh standing there.

uttara : what happened bhai? Why did you come at this time?

Laksh doesn't have any answer for it. He just wanted Ragini near him and thus came without thinking about the reason.

Lak : woah.. Please call Ragini. I'm having headache but I can't find the tablets..

uttara : oh.. Do you want tablets? Wait I've mine ill get it.

Saying so she brings the tablets for him and gives it to him. She soon shuts the door while laksh stands open mouthed.

Rag : what happened uttara? Who's that?.

Uttara : Bhai came in search of you Bhabhi. He said he has headache and couldn't find the tablets.

Rag : oh no.. Why didn't you say before uttara.. Wait I'll give some coffee for him. May be he's stressed due to work
.
Saying so she's about to go but Uttara pulls her back..

Uttara : Bhabhi Bhabhi Bhabhi. Stop giving him so much attention. Guys will never notice girls whom goes easy on them. Show him some attitude.. Play hard.. Don't listen to all his commands ok?

Ragini squirms thinking about avoiding Laksh and his words.

Uttara : Bhabhi do you want laksh bhai or not?

Ragini nods yes vigorously. Then listen to what I say. Saying Uttara starts teaching Ragini about how to behave all pricey with her man.

On the other hand Laksh throws away the tablets in anger and scolds Uttara in his mind. He looks at the bike parked outside and smirks seeing it. He calls Omi asking him to lend his bike for some more time..

Lak (in mind) : I'm sorry but I don't have a choice.. I need you Ragini by hook or Crook.

Saying so he leaves to sleep.

Next day he wakes up and gets ready. Ragini too gets ready after coming out of washroom. She starts putting on her earrings when laksh comes and stands beside her back. He helps her putting on the earring. His hands sensuously brushes against her earlobe while Ragini draws a sharp breath with his sudden move. He takes his slow and sweet time in putting the earrings while Ragini completely forgot to breathe. He smirks seeing his effect on her. He then notices the sindoor box laying on the table. He recalls Ragini introducing him as her friend to Karan and her unmarried look in her institution. He grits his teeth thinking about Karan. He takes a pinch of sindoor and fills it on her forehead. He then opens the drawer and takes the mangalsutra out and ties it around her neck. Ragini is dumbstruck seeing this new side of laksh.

Lak : it's getting late. I'm hungry. Come down.

He whispered under her ears sending chills down her spine. She is unable to process what's happening to her. With a confused and surprised mind she goes to get breakfast for both. She finds all seated in the table. Ragini asks Laksh to go to room while she brings the food there.

Lak : No need let's eat here itself.

Ragini is surprised again but leaves to get the food. They both starts eating but her food gets struck in her throat as Laksh holds her hand under the table shocking her. She looks around worried but finds everyone busy eating. She squirms struggling to release from his hold but the more she struggles the more he tightens the grip on her hand. He acts eating innocent while Ragini is terrified with the sudden change in him.

With difficulty the breakfast gets over and Ragini rushes out to get in her rickshaw to avoid laksh but gets shocked seeing none. All of a sudden laksh stops with his bike before her.

Lak : I can't handle the fare so I've cut the morning rides. Only evening he will pick you up. Morning ill drop you. Get on..

Laksh says a clean lie that she couldn't argue anymore. Ragini feels like fainting but just gets on the bike with him. She sits as far as possible and Laksh starts the vehicle. He increases the speed that a feared Ragini clutches his shirt in fear. Laksh smirks and soon takes a route with lots of pit holes. He keeps applying breaks that the distance between them gets automatically reduced. She's literally hugging him while Laksh enjoys the proximity.

Lak ( in mind) : I know Ragini it's wrong to seduce you but I'm not going to let you go. I'm selfish for you but I don't regret it.

And from there continues the journey of an absolutely imperfect couple. The unconditional immature Ragini and Selfish possessive laksh..

So guys I know many will not like Laksh's  way of seduction but as I said in the prologue this laksh and Ragini are not what you expect. They are selfish and have their own ways to get what they want..

So kindly wait till the improve in their characterisation..
