Laksh pouts, "who is this? Disturbance in the morning damn it." He yawns and stretches his arms, Ragini was still sleeping in his embrace.

Laksh slowly put her hand away from his chest, he made her sleep on the bed putting the duvet over her. He smiles leaving her with the duvet half covered. I'm taking the risk to get scold by you, just to have this view.

Laksh stood up and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

Laksh just heard a breath, "Hello!" Laksh fumes, "who the fucking hell are you?"

No one answered him.

Laksh put the receiver back on the phone. He looked at Ragini, who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Laksh went to the kitchen, he made coffee and tea. The tray was ready and Ragini woke up.

Ragini opens her eyes, she yawns and looked down, she fumes and Laksh saw that. Evil me I know.

"Laksh not done!" She took the duvet and put it on her body, she covers herself and looked at him with a cute angry look.

"Bad boy!"

Laksh shook his head, "Ragini I'm not a boy. I am a man and I think I have proved it last night."

Ragini blushes her cheek turns crimson red, she lowers her gaze in shyness and hide her body, covering his marks on her body.

Laksh sat next to her, he made her drink the tea, the coffee was for him, "I have been down, when will you go down?"

Ragini spits out the hot tea over him, "what!" She shook her head, "you have decided to go down, I haven't asked or requested it to you."

Laksh felt bad, he pouts cutely, "bad wife. You burnt me." He shows on his hand and she blows air on it, "sorry!" She kisses his cheek and made him smile.

Both sat there together, enjoying the morning in peace.

*ring ring ring ring ring ring!*

"If I won't get an answer this time I will find that person and kill him or her!" Laksh stood up and Ragini felt the fear.

"Hello!" Laksh said in anger.

"Ragini!" The man on the other line said.

Laksh took a deep breath, he turned and saw her in shock, "she isn't available. Talk to me I'm her husband."

"Just for now. Soon you will be gone, then she will be mine!"

Laksh frowns, "who are you?" He asked in anger and Ragini stood up with shaking legs.

Ragini was standing there near the door, she lowers her head, tears of shame were rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm her love!"

Laksh cut the call, anger was written on his face, he stamps to her and hold her arms in a tight grip, "who is this and why he said he is your love?" Laksh shouts at her, he shook her to get an answer.

Ragini was crying, "please let me explain. He isn't my love!" Ragini said with much difficulty.

"Then who is he?" Laksh wanted an answer for his questions, "Ragini if you counter me again without answering me today I don't know what I will do to you." He warns her clearly.

Ragini shook her head, "Laksh no," She hugs him, "I'm going to tell you everything. His name is Prakash Gupta, he and I, we were in a relationship, but it's so long ago." She was crying on his chest holding him tight.

"Who?" Laksh asked and Ragini shook her head, "Prakash Gupta." She stood up from the bed, she took her mobile phone.

Laksh frowns, "that is him?" Ragini nodded.

"What had happened? Just tell me everything I should know." He requested her to be honest to him, "I swear to you, I won't go mad on you neither will I leave you." He enclosed her in a tight protective hug.

Ragini nodded, "I was 19 years old, when I first chatted with him. It was an innocent friendship between us, but Papa. He didn't liked it and sent me away."

Laksh looked at her, "what your father found out and sent you away."

Ragini nods, she sniffs once and looked at him, "yes, he said my education is more important than this internet love. He sent me abroad for my higher studies."

Laksh wipes her tears away, "what since then he is behind you? You are 30 years old, right?"

Ragini nodded, "you should know how old your wife is, but never mention her age in public." She hits him and Laksh smiles, "you are mad like me. Tell me what happened then."

Ragini took a deep breath, "I was in London doing my graduation in medical. I returned home after 7 years. Papa asked me if I would like to marry or work. You know I have done so much to get the degree I don't wanted to lose it just because I reached the age. I told him I want to wait till I find myself in the position."

Laksh smiles, "very good. Independent and on your own feet."

Ragini smiles, "yes. But you know after my return he met with an accident. Just two weeks later he died. Shekhar Kapoor, who never drunk alcohol in his life, died due to an accident under alcohol influence."

"Wait what you are the daughter of Shekhar uncle?" Laksh asked her.

Ragini looked at him, "did you met with Papa?"

Laksh nodded, "yes." Should I tell her she rejected me. No wonder papa didn't told me about her identity, smart ass.

"I was in a dilemma, I just found my friend again. You know I got a job and joined the hospital, there he was, Prakash. He was the facility manager of the hospital." Ragini looks at Laksh.

"He gave me support the time I needed the most, before the accident happened. I told papa that I met someone." Ragini lowers her gaze, "papa again refused to it, he was the opinion that Prakash isn't a good choice for me. You know, he was right." Ragini couldn't met his eyes.

"After Papa's death we met often. He was my pillar and support at that time. He hold me and gave me courage to face it all. We were in a relationship, but then his behaviour changed more and more. If I was looking to someone else or talking to a colleague or friend he become mad at me. He starts to raise his hand on me. Laksh my whole relationship with him become a big disaster."

Laksh lifts her head by holding her chin, "it's okay, my childhood wasn't better." He was very calm and understandable.

"I broke up with him, but he couldn't accept it. You know what he said." Ragini was looking at him sternly.

"I have killed your father and I will kill everyone else, who will come between us. I will never let you become someone else."

"He killed my father and I couldn't do anything."

Laksh made a fist, "we have his name, we will place a FIR against him."

Ragini shook her head, "He has an alibi and it's a closed case. I have tried it."

Laksh hold her again, "I'm with you."

Ragini smiles, "thank you. I changed my address and working place just to be away from him. He has never stopped harassing me, but I have always maintained the distance between him and me. There is nothing I want from him."

Laksh cups her face, he kisses her lips and hold her close, "I won't let him come between us. No one!"

Ragini looked at him, "I know Lake, I trust you!" She hugs him tightly.

Now I got it why she is so insecure, all the time the curtains. Laksh kisses her head.
