Here 1st part..

Dear to Nobody—A feeling of loneliness..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All looks at Ragini who was sleeping silently.

There, someone looks Laksh who was lying on floor with wounds. They takes him to hospital.
Laksh was in little unconscious, but he is aware what’s going on around him.

“The people who know when they are born are really lucky. If they know, when they have born means they have many people around. But, I’m the unknown fellow. When I’m born.. to whom I’m born..? At least I wanted to die as someone’s dear. But, I’m alone now also..”

Laksh’s heart beats says this thoughts…

And the screen shifts to the flash back…

*Flash back*

A college is shown..

It is the last day for the final year batch students. Three friends were sitting in canteen.

“What shall we do now..??” Ragini asks in upset.

“I never thought, our family will fix our marriage like this.” Sanskar says.

Swara is crying.

Rag: stop crying idiot..! we are thinking for a plan know..!!

Sanskar is scratching his head.

Rag: there is only one way to stop this marriage..!

Swara and Sanskar looks at her.

Rag: my family should think that groom is very arrogant, different..! who likes such a fellow..? so, Sanskar.. act like that..!!

Swa: meanwhile, my parents will do my marriage there..!
She starts crying again.

San: this is the problem. I have to go with her and talk with her parents. I can’t directly say that i can’t do this marriage bcz.. my dad will kill me if i say no to this marriage.

Ragini again keeps thinking.

San: now, your parents called me to your house to see me.. hmm, they don’t know how I look..!

Rag: so..?

Sanskar looks around and finds Laksh who is sitting as usually alone at a table and eating something.

San: you take Laksh to your house in my place.

Ragini shocks and looks at Laksh.

Rag: are you mad? If my family comes to know Laksh is not you, then big mess happens. Moreover why Laksh will come with me?

Then Sanskar starts telling,

“See Ragini, we are good friends in this college. And, I’m loving Swara. We both don’t have feelings for each other. But, your parents want to make your marriage with me. So, we have to stop this marriage. But, our parents never going to stop this marriage because,

Rag: yes, bcz they are thinking you as the most good boy in this world. They don’t know how crazy you are..!!

Sanskar:: hehe, right. For few days you make your family believe that Laksh is me. However, your family will dislike the arrogant, different, calm, and studious Laksh. Your marriage will come to halt, then you can marry anyone else whom your parents see.

Swa: what if, Ragini’s parents see Sanskar’s photo and they come to know that Laksh is not Sanskar..?
Ragini and Sanskar glares at Swara. Swara takes gulp.

San: Ragini, don’t worry. Your family don’t have my photo. They never saw me. I will manage everything. No doubt comes from both sides.

Ragini nods her head.

Rag: but.. why only Laksh..?

San: hahah, no one can be like Laksh even if we act. He is correct to be hated and rejected..! Meanwhile, i have to go to Swara’s house and make her parents agree to our marriage.

Rag:: but, why Laksh will agree to come..?

San: leave it to me..!!!

Sanskar goes to Laksh and Ragini stands at her table itself.

San: hey bro, what’s up..?

Laksh simply smiles.

San: so, college finished..! What’s next?

Lak: next..? I’m thinking to prepare for civil services.

San: yeah, it suits you..!

Laksh looks at him in confusion, at other side Ragini controls her laugh.

San: laksh, your friend is in trouble..!

Lak: well, who is my friend here?

Sanskar bulges his eyes,
“Dude, it’s me..!”

Laksh laughs keeping the coffee cup aside.

Sanskar narrows his eyes,
“Well, Is Ragini is not your friend..?”

Laksh amazes and looks up. Ragini looks at him innocently. A bright shine appears in Laksh’s eyes when he looks at her.

Sanskar smirks. Then he puts an innocent face,
“She is in trouble Laksh.”

Laksh looks at Sanskar in confusion.

Lak: why? What happened to Ragini?

San: Ragini is going to be married to the groom she dislike.

Lak: who is the groom?

Sanskar scratches his head,
“Myself”

Laksh laughs suddenly, ragini and sansakr amazes that laksh has laughed ever in his life.

Lak: so, she can say directly to this her parents.

San: Laksh, problem is… our parents won’t agree if we say no. Ragini’s family themselves have to reject me. For that, i have to act as arrogant kid. But, i have my own business… so…

Laksh: So..??

San: you have to go with Ragini in my place to her house.

Lak: and fool the whole family..?

San: not fooling..

Lak: sorry sanskar, I can’t cheat anybody. If it’s matter of a family I can’t even imagine to cheat them.

Sanskar holds his head,
“He has started the lessons.”

Lak: so many in this world cry that they are alone. And you guys, are getting ready to cheat a loving family..?

Then Ragini enters,

“It’s not a fun for me to cheat my family.”

Laksh looks at her.

Rag: I have my dreams. But, they are on their decision. I have to convince them. If they need to get convinced, they have to hate the groom. Sanskar can’t come as he has his own works.

Ragini glares at Sanskar when she is saying last line, he bends his head.

Rag: we choose you because, no one can help us than you.. and we can trust no one than you. Just acting for few days Laksh. Then, I will convince them… if you don’t want to help, it’s ok..

Ragini turns and about to go, Laksh calls her.

“I will come.” He says.

Ragini and Sanskar smiles.

Lak: I have to come in his place and just behave as myself. So, however no one likes this ‘nobody’

Ragini bends her head.

Lak: fine Ragini, i have got no love till now in my life, at least I can see a family closely now. I will help you. I will come with you.

Sanskar hugs Laksh. Ragini jumps in happiness, “thank you Laksh”

Lak: but, if your family recognizes that groom is not me..?

San: leave that all to us. I have deleted all my pics from social media. My parents don’t know to send a picture… so no problem..!! they will never come to know my real face. They have asked me to come with Ragini to see me. So, if you go..

Laksh nods his head saying he understood. Then he looks at Ragini.

“However, there is no one in this world who loves me, what if some more new people hate me..?”
Laksh says and Ragini looks at him sadly.

“I will help you Ragini. Just for you.” He says.

Ragini smiles,

“Laksh, trust me. Everything goes alright. When my family says no to our marriage, they may dislike you. But, i won’t let them hate you. Anyone may be with you or not, i will be with you always as your friend..!!”

……….
……….
……….

Ragini opens her eyes suddenly, remembering that flash back.

Beside her, Janaki and daadi are talking.

“How bad guy he is..!! He cheated all of us..!!” Says Daadi.

“We can never trust him again..!” Says Janaki.

Ragini gets tears listening to them. They see Ragini has opened her eyes and Janaki brings food to her.

Janu:: ragu beta, come on.. eat now.

Rag:: I don’t want to eat anything..!!

Daadi: nah ladoo, you have to eat, otherwise, your baby can’t be healthy..!

Ragini looks at Janaki amazed. Janaki nods her head. Ragini holds her womb gently and cries.

Shekar just comes there.

“Maa, make Ragini ready. We have to go to hospital.”

Daadi: ok, for checkup?

Shekar: no..! Abortion..!

Ragini shocks at once with his words.

The screen becomes blank on her shocked face.

To be continued…

“If we promise someone that we will be together with them, we have to stand up on it. Don’t break that trust and break their heart”
