Next Morning
Ragini woke up & saw Laksh was not there

Ragini-Without informing me he left for office!I know for some reasons Laksh is upset with me but I  won't accept defeat! I'll do something special for Laksh today to mend our relationship!

Ragini smiled & went inside washroom

@Maheswari Mansion

Sanskaar was sleeping suddenly he felt someone's touch on his face,He woke up & opened his eyes & saw Raashi was sitting beside him while caressing his face
He got up

Sanskaar-Tum itni subah yaha?You're here in this early morning?

Raashi(sad)-Actually there's a photoshoot today so thought to meet you before leaving!Now wish me!

Sanskaar-Best of luck for the photoshoot!

Raashi(upset)-What!Best of luck for the photoshoot?Sanskaar wish me,it's my bday!You forgot my birthday?

Sanskaar(hugged her)-Sorry i forgot!Happy bday baby!

Raashi-Not fair Sanskaar!How could u forgot it? And My gift?

Sanskaar-So Sorry!I'll bring a special gift for you today!And we'll go for dinner tonight I promise!Now let me take shower!

Raashi-Ok bye!I'm getting late

Sanskaar(cupped her face)-Bye

Raashi-One sec, aren't you forgetting something?

Sanskaar-Oops sorry!

he cupped Raashi's face & kissed her lips with closed eyes,just then some flashes came in his mind
Ragini's lips,her smile,her face

Sanskaar got shocked broke the kiss

Raashi-What happened Sanskaar?I got such a unromantic bf!Sab kuch yaad dilana parta hai! I need to make you remember everything!

Sanskar pulled his hair,Raashi left the place

Sanskaar-Why did I remembered Ragini when I kissed Raashi?What's happening to me?

He went inside washroom,took off his clothes & opened the shower
he stood silently under the shower while thinking about Ragini & Raashi

Sanskaar-Do I like Ragini? Shit!

After 2hours@Mall

Ragini went inside a shop & bought 2shirts for Laksh

Ragini-Laksh gonna look nice in this light-blue shirt!

she left the store

Another side

Sanskar bought a white short dress for Raashi & went inside a jewelery shop to buy a necklace for her

Sanskaar choosen a diamond studded heart shapped gold locket with gold chain

Sanskaar-I hope Raashi will like it!

Ragini was on escalator suddenly her head started spinning,she held her head & became unconcious

she was about to fall from the escalator but a pair of strong arms held her at the right time

Ragini dashed on the chest of that person

The person shook her to wake her up

He's Sanskaar

Unconcious Ragini is in his arms

Sanskaar(patted on her cheeks)-Ragini open your eyes!Oh god what happened to u?

Sanskaar was worried,he picked her in his arms & made her seat inside his car,Then a boy picked RagSan's shopping-bags and gave it to him

Sanskaar(to that boy)-Is there any hospital near?

Boy-Yes sir there is a hospital near,take a right then take straight!City Hospital!

Sanskaar-Ok thanks!,Sanskar started driving the car

@Car
While driving Sanskar patted on Ragini's shoulder but she was still unconscious so he stopped the car & sprinkled some water on her face

Ragini murmured something in her half-conciousness state then again became unconcious

Sanskaar was really upset seeing her in that condition

for some mins he stared at her innocent face then started driving

After 30mins Sanskaar was a little far from the hospital when Ragini suddenly got back into consciousness & held her head

Sanskaar looked at her with a huge smile

Ragini looked around & saw herself with Sanskaar in the car,she was shocked

Ragini(in one breath)-I was in the mall,how come I'm here? And where are you taking me?

Sanskaar(started laughing)-Mujhe darra ke ab madam khud darr rahi hai?I'm Kidnapping you!

Ragini(got scared)-What!How can you do this to me? I thought you as my friend!Stop the car please!

Sanskaar stopped the car & kept his one finger on her lips

Sanskaar-Sshh!Dont shout or else everybody gonna think I'm really kidnapping you!Relax you fainted at the mall so I was taking you to the nearest hospital!You really thought that I'm kidnapping you?

Ragini noded as yes childisly
then held her both ears

Ragini-Sorry & thanks!

Sanskar-But now i want to punish u!

Ragini looked at him innocently

Sanskaar-You called me as your friend then you said thanks to your friend!So now i'm angry on you! You have to bear the punishment now!

Ragini-Ok! what punishment?

Ragini made a cute puppy face while Sanskaar smiled at her cutely

Sanskaar(laughed lightly)-Dont worry I won't keep you captivated!

Ragini laughed cutely

Sanskaar was admiring her angelic laugh

Sanskaar-There is a coffee cafe near! Their coffee is very famous so a coffee treat?

Ragini-Ok but treat is from my side!Btw i really need a coffee,i have a stong headache!

Sanskaar(again started driving)-Any tension? You are looking stressed!

Ragini(sadly)-Nothing important!

Sanskaar stopped the car near the coffee cafe
RagSan entered inside the cafe & sat in a corner seat

Ragini-Sanskaar what would u like to have?

Sanskaar-A black coffee!

Ragini(to a waiter)-Waiter a black coffee,a cappachino & 2 chocolate pestries!

Sanskaar(teasingly)-Chocolate pastries! You love to eat pastries?But seeing you it feels like you are dieting-obsessed!

Ragini(narrowed her eyes)-Very funny Sanskaar!I was on a Diet but i love chocolate pastries!

Sanskaar(held his ears & bowed down his head)-I'm really sorry mam!

waiter served their order

Sanskar(sipping coffee)-So whats your full name?

Ragini-Ragini Singhania!You knew only half name of mine?Twinkle didn't told you anything about me?

Sanskaar-She spoke a lot about you but forgot to tell me your surname!Twinkle speaks a lot and 80% of her topic is related you!I always wanted to meet her Best Friend & at last we met! And that too in a filmy situation!

Ragini started laughing covering her mouth with both of her hands

Sanskaar(confused)-Why are you laughing like this?

Ragini(pointed at his face)-Look at your face Sanskaar!You got a moustache of Coffee & chocolate! You are looking funny!

Sanskaar(tried to wipe it but couldnt do it properly)-Am i looking very funny?

Ragini-Yes you are!But you are looking cute like a kid!

She took a tissue-paper & wiped the coffee-chocolate from Sanskaar's face

Ragini(jokingly)-Now better!Btw i shouldnt told u about it!If you were gone outside like this then it would have been fun!

Sanskaar-How mean yaar! You want to make people laugh at me?

Ragini(rolled her eyes)-You know my friends calls me as notorious Prankstar!If You want to become my friend then you have to tolerate my mischiefs! You are lucky that i didn't played any prank on you till now!

Sanskaar-Means i have to beaware of your pranks!

RagSan talked for some more time then they exchanged their phone numbers

Then RagSan left the place

Sanskar stopped the car infront of Ragini's flat

@Car
Sanskaar-Bye Ragini!I enjoyed my new friend's company a lot!Here is your shopping bags!

Ragini(took the shopping bags)-Same here, I liked your company!Bye.

Ragini left the car
Sanskaar was waiting for Ragini's last look towards him
Ragini walks towards her flat

Sanskaar(in mind)-Ragini please turn at me if you like me!Please turn at me!

Ragini turned at him & smiled then left the place

Sanskaar smiled & clicked her pics by his phone without letting her know about this then he left the place

@RagLak Flat

Ragini prepared Laksh's favourite foods & decorated their room with his favourite flowers

Then Kept the gifts on bed which she bought for laksh

Ragini-Laksh will be very happy today after seeing all this!He won't stay upset with me any longer!Btw Sanskaar is really very sweet!I'm lucky to have a nice friend like him!I wish he gets world's best woman as his wife!

She smiled thinking about Sanskar's sweet talks

Night@Sanskar's house

Raashi came & hugged him

Sanskaar(he gave her d shopping bags which he bought for Raashi)-This is for u,hope you like it!

Raashi smiled & was checking the gifts while Sanskar was seeing Ragini's pics in his mobile

Sanskaar-Why did i clicked Ragini's photos?Why i want to see her again & again!I never enjoyed any girl's company like i enjoyed being with Ragini!I never felt this much desparate to see Raashi!What's wrong with me?

@RagLak Flat

Laksh-Hmm i like it!

Ragini-Come lets have food!

Laksh-I had my dinner already Ragini!Now you should eat!

Ragini-ok but Laksh please taste something na!All these are your favourite dishes which I have specially made for you!

Ragini(gave the shopping bags to Laksh)-Ok.Laksh this is for you!Open it & tell me do you like it or not!

Laksh(took the bags)-Suddenly why all this? Today, it's not my birthday!

Laksh opened the bags & was irritated seeing A short dress,A heart shapped pendent in the bags

Laksh-What kind of joke is this Ragini?You bought gifts for yourself & told me "Laksh this is for you"!

Ragini(shocked)-No I have bought 2shirts for you!I guess my shopping bags got exchanged with my friend's shopping bags!I'm sorry!

Laksh-I can expect only this kind of silly acts from you!
