RELAY OS COMPETITION: PHASE 2: ENTRY 1: MY VILLAGE ( RAGLAK )

Hi guys… DQ is back again with the first entry of phase 2. This is beautifully organised and well written by a lovely participant!
A great applaud to her for her marvellous on time entry!

THEME 1: A highly ambitious laksh, returns from London, after 7 long years. Laksh wishes to become a C. E. O. of a top notched multinational company, ASPIRE. It is his prime goal in life. He returns to his ancestral home with plans of selling the property to earn millions, so that he can invest into his career, wherein he meets up his childhood crush, ragini Kapoor. Ragini is street smart, beautiful and extremely talented. But she is an extreme family person, and hence never left her family to settle elsewhere. She visions her village to be a heaven on earth and she feels that all the educated individuals in the village should come back to the village and work for its development. Laksh was never able to confess his love for ragini. Ragini was also his senior by 2 years. Ragini did like laksh secretly but never told him as she felt it would be embarrassing to propose a guy who was younger to her. Meanwhile, during his trip around his village, he lands up infront of a huge palatial mansion. Upon enquiring, he realizes that this was a property of his school crush, swara bose. He had loved both ragini and swara equally, until he left for London after his higher secondary. Swara was a girl of extreme confidence. She was independent, elegant, graceful and the sole owner of DESIRE. Both ASPIRE and DESIRE worked hand in hand owned by the Arya siblings. Swara never liked raginis’ concern for laksh. And she used to be extremely jealous when laksh spoke to ragini, the reason being ragini being more loved by everyone. Laksh was UNWARE of both of them liking him.

U must be thinking I really missed this place that’s y I came back, not really I mean yes I have some specials moments in this place like family, friends, school, crushes, he laugh, half of my life I spent here but hey come on, u can’t expect a person who have live luxury in liberal country to adjust in some small village. I only came back for the ancestor’s home, I heard it worth millions, once I’m done with that, I’m so leaving this place. I’m highly ambitious guy, I have some prime goals that is to become CEO of my dream company. I don’t want to tie to some family traditionalism here.
Kaka, one special coffee, plz ‘laksh thought were break by some sweet angelic voice. He closed his eyes as sweet voice hit his ear drums, he look back and got mesmerized to see a divine beauty, she was indeed the nightingale of this night, her voice was like music, he gulp as his eyes fell on her lips that were sipping hot coffee, oh how much he wanted to taste that coffee drops which was on her lips. He was staring her from time knows when that he didn’t realize the rain drops falling on him until he get full drench in rain, he close his eyes and spread his hands to enjoy the ticklish feeling, he was listening to the music of his heartbeats when someone grab his hand and ran until a shelter. Laksh was surprised it was the same girl
Girl; r u stupid, what u were doing, u could have get cold ‘the girl was continually scolding laksh but her scolding were music for his ears, he was smiling goofily which upset the girl‘ WTH, here I’m scolding u but ur smiling as I crack some joke, oh hello, earth to Mr. laksh maheswari
Laksh smile widely: so u still remember me, ms ragini gadodia [yes it was ragini]
Rag sigh: how can I forget u, u were the most annoying student of our school. How many times I always have to keep an eye on u ‘laksh frown, rag nervous’ after all I was the school prefect, I have to keep eye on all trouble kids

Lak laugh: sorry for troubling u a lot
Rag: what exactly ur doing here, it’s been so long, I thought I would never see u again
Lak: I was here for some business, it will be done soon
Rag upset: so u will not stay here then
Lak smile: can u give me a reason to stay here? ‘he stare here deeply which made ragini nervous, she was rubbing her arms to warm herself, that’s when laksh realize her conditions, she was all drench, her white kurta was hugging her figure perfectly showing her curves. It was a dim light but laksh could still see her white milky skin through her transparent kurta which make his breath stop, he took off his jacket and cover her back shocking her.
Rag whisper: laksh ‘He saw her lips which were shivering due to cold, he was getting curious to know if her lips still taste like coffee’ coffee ‘he whisper
Rag frown; han
Lak stutter: ah no nothing, it’s really
cold here, we should get a coffee ‘rag nod. They both sat on the same bench, drinking coffee enjoying the rain when both heard the music from, both turn to music
Rag smile and yell: kaka, plz raise the volume ‘stall man nod and raise the volume of music, rag close her eyes and repeat the song in her angelic voice
Yeh mausam ki baarish
Yeh baarish ka paani
Yeh paani ki boondein
Tujhe hi toh dhoondhe
Yeh milne ki khwahish
Yeh khwahish puraani
Ho poori tujhi se
Meri yeh kahaani
Lak smile; ur still the same, showing off ur talent
Rag; I don’t show off, just people get jealous of me, u know I’m multi-talented ‘she joke, both laugh
Lak; so miss multi-talented, how is ur life, I mean ur husband or kids
Rag smile drop; ah, I’m not married anymore ‘she avoid eye contact’
Lak frown: means
Rag sigh sadly: my husband divorce me
Lak: I’m really sorry
Rag smile mischief; ya u should be sorry, my divorce happened only cus of u ‘laksh shock, rag laugh’ chill laksh, I’m kidding, y r u sorry, u were not even here ‘suddenly laksh was uneasy as he saw ragini face down, he could tell she was hiding her tears. He remember his last day in village, it was like dream come true to him, ragini was sitting in mandir in red bridal lehenga, and she was most gorgeous bride of this world. He always wanted to see her like one but his heart tinge when he saw some other guy in his place, it was his dream to see ragini taking 7 vow with him not some creepy NRI businessman, who would take her away from here. Thank god he also get admission in London university, as this village has nothing store for him anymore.
Raglak was on bus, laksh was looking at small buildings as it was passing by, he smirk: nothing is change, it’s still the same, no development at all
Rag smile: it’s not like that, there is some development, u remember the hill side, I’m trying to open the school there
Lak: that’s nice, so ur teacher now
Rag: not really, I mean, I still didn’t grant permission from government as I don’t have enough money, or students or teachers ‘rag face fell’ I really wanted something good for my village. U know laksh this village is heaven for me. This place gave so much, I really wanted to do something for
Lak: ragini, if u don’t mind can I suggest u something
Rag smile as she knew what coming: I know what u want to say laksh. I know ur total city boy now and u like ur freedom
Lak: don’t u?
Rag; I do, that’s y I’m single now ‘laksh confuse’. Sahil, my husband, he wanted me to come with him to america, I couldn’t leave my family here, they needed me. My father got retire, I was the only source of my family, couldn’t neglect my family. We had many fights over this. He went to america, it was after 2 weeks he called and demanded divorce if I didn’t come to him. I was hurt but I wanted to save this relation so I decided to go to him. I was on airport when I heard my father got heart attack and I ran back. Sahil didn’t understand my situation, and blame me for whole thing. I had to sacrifice one thing, it was either my family who raise me or my husband who just wanted kids from me.
Lak: it would had been difficult for u
Rag: yes at 1st it was but then I found out about his affairs which made my decision easy but don’t worry, I happy now see, I didn’t regret
Lak smile; so u sacrifice ur life so u can stay back and help ur family
Rag nod; and the people who help my family in tough time.
Lak: ur just wasting ur time. With ur knowledge u could have lend some serious job, a real one, staying here would not help u in anyway
Rag smile sarcastic: ya ur right. This village can’t do anything but just gave some qualified students, so they can work for another countries ‘laksh smile, he knew taunt him’ u got ur degree from this place right, how can u even think this low about ur village. u get this 1 thing in ur mind laksh, no matter where u go, no matter how much u work for them, u will only get to recognize from this place only. U can only show ur true inner self in this place only ‘laksh look at her without blinking’ there ‘she point out
Laksh confuse: what
Rag: ur ancestors home ‘laksh saw. It was big palace old traditional style but what caught his attention was the another big palace which was opposite to his home, it was as big as his own house but in modern structure’ ur house was locked from years now, it may be rats running everywhere, y don’t u stay in my house till ur work done and we can also hire someone to clean ur house
Lak nod: ragini, whose is that ‘he point the modern one
Rag smirk; that my dear …
Laksh maheswari, it’s that u ‘laksh turn, a girl hugging him tight
Girl excited; OMG, it’s that really u, I can’t believe my eyes
Laksh shock; swara, omg, what r u doing here?
Sw: what u mean by that, I live here, I’m the owner of this house and also DESIRE company
Lak shock; what, u r handling business ‘he look her from top to bottom and smile’ I thought u would be super model by now, as u look like one too
Sw blush: so how did u come here, when did u come, OMG I’m so stupid, I didn’t even invite u, plz come, we will talk inside and can do breakfast ‘laksh smile. He remember the time he spent with swara, they both were in same class, she was diva of his class, all boys wanted to get her attention and wanted to be her their girlfriends, even he also get his butterflies when she pick him of all boys to be her lab partner, he also wonder sometimes if the girl like swara would like to be his girlfriend
Rag; swara, not today plz, we had been traveling from 6 long hours, also we need to change or laksh will get cold, u remember right he can’t take rain well, it affect him if he doesn’t get medicine on time ‘laksh look shock at her, she still remember this small detail of him but y.
Sw smile sarcastic: I know ragini but I think u forgot he was my bestfriend, I know everything about him, u don’t need to worry about him now, I will take care of him ‘to laksh’ come laksh ‘swalak was leaving
Rag: swara ‘they turn’ I ask some favor from u that day, u remember
Sw sigh: look ragini, I would have help u but seriously ur idea suck, even I denote, where will u get the teachers from, they are not ready to teach some village people, it’s better u forget about the hill site
Rag; but plz try it one more time, u know I have 20 students, I can teach them all subjects but just need that place as it is common point for all of them and some stuff
Sw: I will see what I can do ‘she leave with laksh. Laksh who seems confuse got shock when swara hold his hand and ran inside, she showed him palace it was like a king palace but with a modern touch’ laksh u must be tired right, u sleep now, we will talk later ‘she showed him room and left. Laksh was thinking about ragini, he didn’t expect a village girl to talk like a bold girl. Where many girls who get divorce or widow in young age, they planned to secure their future somehow but ragini she want to secure these village future, she said she didn’t regret getting divorce from him, y, so she can stay back with her family, if she wanted she could also have good job outside this village, she could have supported her family by this but she stayed here not just for her family but for every other people that live here. How can a girl be so this much selfless? He smile remembering ragini grab his hand and ran under shelter and the coffee, music scolding, he slept remembering rag.

All People claps, raglak too
Reporters: so miss swara how r u feeling, with ur help these kid r will get education
Sw: I’m so happy that my money was used for something like this, if they get educate if they get success, I will think I get success
Reporters: but I heard that u were planning to make ur new factory here, then y change ur decision
Sw hesitate: I wanted the factory for only these people, but then I release that if they get education now they will be opening these factories everywhere on their own ‘all clap’ no more questions, plz can we do opening ceremony now, plz come pm mandra ji ‘they did opening ceremony and did pooja, swara was busy with pm, when few ladies came to ragini
Lady; ragini beta, thanku so much cus of u now our children can get education
Rag smile: I didn’t do anything kaki, it is all swara’s money, she paid for this school and all
Lady: han but she only did it infront of camera, to impress pm, she didn’t really care about us, if u haven’t visit to pm the other day, and swara wouldn’t have paid for this. It was u who went to delhi to meet her, it was u who slept empty stomach so u could live another day their as u still didn’t meet pm, it was all ur effort. If pm wouldn’t have visit here, swara would have open her factory instead of our school
Rag; but she did na, whether for camera or for pm, she helped. Without her money we wouldn’t be able to open this school
Lady bless her lovingly: I wish god gave you all the happiness of this world
Rag; I already have u people, I’m happy ‘lady kissed her head. It was all seen by laksh, he was bore as swara was busy with pm so he decided to talk to ragini, and he heard them all. He was getting more shock day by day, ragini selflessness was shocking him or more frequently making him guilty.

Swara on phone: yes trust me bhai, I know, but the factory plan had to delayed atleast for year, ya something is better from nothing, what about the laksh property, yes plz I won’t compromise in that, okay I will see on it ‘she hang the call and saw laksh ‘congratulations

Sw: u don’t seem happy
Lak; swara, don’t u think it’s unfair, I mean education is important for everyone, it’s their basic right
Sw: that factory is also important for me laksh

Lak sigh: I know but still, u can open the factory in any other place right. Ragini told me how other teachers left as it was so inconvenience for them to survive in little amount, but u can help them, with ur money they can get education and will reach the height of success
Sw angry: laksh, this factory was my papa last wish, I will not compromise with that, and what is this han, y r u suddenly interested in ragini
