Heya guys,🙋

I am back with the next update. 😊

Feel free to point out the errors as I haven't proof read it. 😅😅 Too lazy to do that 😝😝😅

_____________________________________________________________

And finally they are back from their honeymoon.

Yeah..!! They are back to their city or you can say their dream city 'Mumbai'. But the difference is that, this time, They are coming together holding eachother's hands and with a beautiful smile on their lips.

They got into Taxi as soon as they came out from the airport. The ride was silent except the music playing in the radio by Taxi driver.

🎶 (Add the song here, as I'm not getting any song at this moment)😂😜 🎶

And then Laksh break the ice.

Laksh - I have the meeting with the director today. Do you want to come with me?

Her eyes widened to listen him.

Ragini - But..

Laksh - But ?

Ragini - I mean I didn't even join properly and you want me to join you in a meeting. I..I don't..

He turned towards her and hold her hands.

Laksh - Stop thinking like that that I am doing this just because you are my wife.

Ragini (surprised) - You don't ?

Laksh (sheepishly) - Okay, that's partially yes, because I am not sure how will I be able to live without you even for a second, now.

A slow curve appeared on her lips as her eyes bend towards their joining hands.

She couldn't believe she found someone so precious to her in this journey.

Laksh(with a smile) - And Roop will be there too. So why not you?

And this makes the smile on her lips, disappeared.

The name coming out of his lips sets a different kind of emotion within her.

She herself don't know why, but she felt inferior of her because Roop knows her husband better than her.

He noticed the sudden change in her behavior and frowned.

" Didn't she like the idea of joining me?" he thought. " Am I rushing too much ? "

He tighten his hold when she tried to pull her hands from his hold.

Laksh(in a careful tone) - Say something ?

Ragini took a deep breath and remove her hands from his grasp and gave him a small smile.

Ragini - I think, just you and Roop should go. I don't want to take advantage of being your wife to start my career. (He frowned and she continued) Let me first prove it to you that I am worth it.

Laksh (holding her hands again) - You are worth everything, Ragini.

He said with so much emotion that a line of water formed in her eyes.

Ragini (placing her head on his shoulder) - Thank you. But I don't think I should go.

Laksh (sigh) - I will not force you on this. It's your decision. But I just want to tell you that you are a wonderful dancer Ragini, And I am so proud to say that.

She smiled and tighten her grip on his palm and he returned the gesture along with a attractive smile of his.

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

Raglak came out of the taxi and Laksh stretched his hands.

Laksh - Haah..!! Home sweet home..!!

Ragini smiled and grabbed her bag, wheeling it to the door. She looked back to see him paying to the taxi driver. The taxi driver said something and he laughed and said something in return. Then he grabbed his suitcase and came near her, saying him a 'Thank you'.

Ragini (curious) - What were you talking to him ?

Laksh (confused) - To who?

Ragini - To that Taxi driver. What was he saying?

Laksh (laughs) - O that...!!! He said that I have very beautiful girlfriend.

Ragini - Girlfriend ? But I am..

Laksh - Yeah..!!! And I cleared that you are Mrs. Maheshwari. My Mrs. Maheshwari.

The curve on her lips turns upward as a shy smile adorned her lips.

Ragini - But why did he think that I am your girlfriend and not wife?

Laksh (abruptly) - You weren't wearing any Sindur or Mangalsutra, Maybe that's why!

And that's when their world halt.

They remember the reason of their marriage. Her dreams and his obedience of his mother.

But everything is changed now.

Ragini looked pale and he regretted saying those words. She remembered how she changed from her tradional look to her real look and put her Mangalsutra in her bag.

She didn't even realise that she wasn't even wearing it from that time.

She looked at him guilty and he gave her a warm smile. He entwined her fingers with his and took her to the main door. He opened the lock and stepped inside leaving his hold on her hand making her anxious for a second.

Laksh (with a smile) - Wait here..!!!

She nooded as he rushed inside the house. She was feeling guilty as well as nervous. He didn't even said anything to her about her not wearing them.

He came back with a glass of rice and a plate with the red colour.

Laksh (sheepishly) - I don't know how to do it. I am just doing what I saw in movies or the time Mom did it for you at our home.

The tears she was holding for so long fell out of her eyes.

Here he was doing all this for her, making their relationship perfect and then there she is, not even wearing the symbol of their marriage.

The drop of her tear fell on his hand as he bend to place the glass and plate in front of her foot.

He frowned and looked upward to see her crying. He stood up immediately and wiped her tears.

Laksh (cupping her face in between his palms) - Hey..!! What happened?

Ragini (hugged him immediately, and brust into more tears) - I am sorry.

Laksh (caressing her hair)- For what ?

Ragini - I am sorry that I married you just to come here to fulfill my dreams.

His body stiffened and she felt more guilty. But he relaxed in few second.

Laksh (trying to lighten her mood) - I am happy you said that in a past tense. (She laugh little and he asked in a careful tone) And What is it between us now?

Ragini parted from the hug and looked direct into her eyes.

Ragini - I don't know what is it, but all I know is, I will not be myself if I'll not be with you. Without my knowledge, you became my priority. (He smiled) I haven't even think about my career in the trip until you mentioned it. And that's the only time I remembered it. You were the only thing in my mind all the time.

And his smile turned into a wide one as she completed it. He held her face in his palm and wiped her tears with his thumbs. Then he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, lingering there for a few seconds, making her eyes shut in relief.

Laksh (said with a smile) - That's all I need to know. (gesturing downwards) Now, come. Let's do your grahpravesh in your home.

Ragini too smile with wet eyes and nodded her head. She kicked the glass slowly making the rice fall on the floor.

Then he gestured her to put her feet in the plate filled with red colour and She nodded.

As soon as she placed her feet in the plate her eyes widened.

Ragini (with little raised voice) - What did you just put in this plate?

He jumped started at her sudden raise of voice. His eyes widened too as he saw her feet in the plate.

Laksh (fumbling) - Wo..wo..I...

She glared at him and he gulped.

Laksh - I haven't had any red colour in home so I....(wetting his lips) I put the red paint in it which left from the house paint.

Ragini(try to calm herself) -Ok..!! It's just the paint, Ragini. (then she looked at him iratedly) Then why the hell am I not able to take a step ahead?

Laksh (gulping) - Because I just remembered that there was Fevicol mixed in it.

And if no !! Still you have to do the same. 😝😜

Now, Today's query -

Q- Just the mention of Roop's name brings insecurity in Ragini's heart. What will happen when She'll join the academy and saw them together?
