And that was the night I thought I will lose my best friend forever. Even though he did not feel the same i still could not leave him. As we have known each other from childhood. He was always there to support me, always there to look after me. He is a very calm person normally but when he sees someone mistreating me he will loose his calmness and become super protective of me. And maybe because of these reasons only i thought that he also...... But he does not. That night when i went back home i told myself to never talk to him or even look at him ever again. He kept calling me whole night and i switched off my cellphone getting irritated.
Next day when i woke up and switched my phone on. I had around 100 messages and 50 missed calls from him. And that is when i realised that he should not be blamed for liking me. I should not hurt him by ignoring him. Our friendship is the only best thing in both of our lives and i cannot end it. Not ever.
I never thought i will forgive him so easily but i did.
I took my bag and went to his house, i knocked his door and after a while the door flung open with him standing there with his mouth wide open.

Laksh pov:
I felt so bad that i hurt ragini. I remember that whenever someone hurt her i would break down their bones because i could not see tears in her eyes and now i am the reason behind these tears. I feel so bad and guilty. I could not sleep whole night thinking what if i loose one of the few best things of my life. What if i loose my friend, my best friend. I cannot loose her or her friendship. I called her many times and left a dozen messages but i guess her phone was switched off. I can see in her room from the window that she is crying. And i feel bad that i cannot do anything about it. I had tears in my eyes too and i did not realize when i felt asleep near the window only..

.
I woke up after i heard my dad calling me. My head was paining a lot. I checked my phone once hoping that ragini would have replied but to my bad luck she hasn't so I looked outside towards ragini's room only to find the curtains closed. I sighed and decided to freshen up
I took a hot shower, changed and went down only to find my dad serving breakfast to me.
Laksh : dad, where is mom?
Dad: she went out last night only to meet her mother.
Laksh : oh ok
Dad: is everything ok?
Laksh :um.... Ya.... Why?
Dad : you look like ragini is hurt.
Laksh : huh... What do you mean?
Dad: what i mean is that you look like this only every time she is hurt. You two have a different connection.
Laksh just smiled weakly. His dad noticed it.

Dad: everything ok? Between you two?..
Laksh : ya, she is kind of angry. But I'll pacify her.
Dad: of course you will. You cannot live a second without her.
Come have breakfast.
He was right i cannot live even a second without her.
We talked through the breakfast. As we were done having breakfast i decided to leave for college. Just i heard a knock on out door. I opened the door only to find the most important person of my life standing there. I was shocked to see her here.
While she was grinning like always.

Laksh : ragu....
Ragini : hey lucky.
Laksh : you here?
Ragini : don't tell me that i cannot be here.
Laksh : no thats not what I m...
Ragini : i know i know. Chill. I was hoping maybe we could go to college together. Just like the old times.
My face instantly lighten up as she said these words. I can get her back.

Laksh : sure, let me grab my bag.
Ragini nodded.
Laksh came back with his bag.
Laksh : shall we?
Ragini : ya.
They started walking and.... Talking.
Laksh : i am so sorry ragu.
Ragini : its ok lucky, in fact i am sorry.
Laksh : for what?
Ragini : for my confession and also the way I behaved last night. I didn't receive your calls
Laksh : don't be sorry for either. I am not upset. Ragu i was wondering if..
Ragini : can we still remain friends.
Laksh : best friends. You still want to be..
Ragini : of course lucky. I would still like to be your friend..
Laksh : and i would love it.
Ragini smiled at him and they both started to walk towards their college.

Present:
After that day everything changed. Everything.
Me and laksh remained best friends forever, but I don't want to be friends forever.
Things took a huge turn when i started dating sanskar. Yup. I know very stupid of me. How can I be this crazy. I was dating someone i didn't even love. And the one i love was dating my bestfriend swara. Lucky asked me thousands of times if i was ok with them dating to which i simply nodded.
The moment I told everyone about me and sanky, i swear i could see the anger and frustration in luckys eyes. But why? Why now? Why not before? And i was again left devastated because of thesr questions .
He was frustrated maybe because i didn't tell him before. Ughhh.
That day laksh came to talk to me. He started talking but i stopped him the moment I realized that if he completed this sentence I will fall weak. And i can't. I was someone else's. I interrupted laksh when he said that "A part of me always thought that somewhere along the lines, maybe you and i...."
Ragini : we are so lucky..... To have someone we love and someone who loves us. Right.
Laksh : ya...

Yup that is how i stopped him, but it was true. Maybe somewhere along the line he would have reciprocated my love but i made a mistake by dating sanky and then afterwards he started dating Swara.
All four of us were happy. Atleast swara and sanskar were. I am sure about that. But i was so not. And lucky he was pretending to be happy even when he wasn't. I could feel it in my bones. Things started going wrong when lucky was always there to support me in my hard times and sanky wasn't there. Never. And Swara, I guess she did not like it that laksh was so protective about me. So she confronted laksh. To which laksh simply said that " I am not only protective of her but also possessive about her. And I am so sorry to say swara but she will always remain my first priority"
This shook Swara she got insecure about everything. So she broke up with laksh and she got more stunned when he did not even stop her.
And sanskar, well he broke up with me as he thought we can never work out. I was sad but more than that i was happy. I was happy that now I don't have to pretend to love sanky when I don't.
That night me and laksh met and he told me about Swara breaking up with him and i told him about me. He got furious on sanskar but somehow i controlled him. We forgot about those two completely. We laughed about how we were back to "just the two of us" and no one else. "just us".

And then one day something happened. Something so AMAZING.
