“Uhhhhh what a hectic day today ???? I should take a shower only !!!! Okay sanskar let me go fresh myself and come !!!!”
“Tell me in which car are we going laksh ???? Jaguar or Lamborghini ???? ” Questioned sanskar as he was juggling with laksh ‘s car keys .
“Anything is okay for me !!!”
“Well which colour you like ??? White Lamborghini or black jaguar ???”
“I think you forgot something !!!! I have two Lamborghini one white and the other black !!!”
“Errrrr yeah *Sounded defeated *, so tell me laksh how is your life going on ???? Let me check your Mobile !!!”
“Yeah dude you can !!!!”
“How come you are giving up so soon !!! You be like you have this meeting schedule , that details blah blah blah …. Then how come ???”
“Because that’s not my blackberry which has company stuffs !!!! That’s my iPhone man !!!”
“Okay so you have one message !!!! Wait let me check !!!! That too that’s from a girl !!!! ”
Sanskar saw her name and it was swara . He saw her profile photo and felt attracted to her at first sight .
“Can I chat with her ????”
“Do whatever you want sanskar !!!! Why don’t we go by walk ??? The park is just few metres away , then what’s the need for the car ????”
“Anything my lord !!!!” Sanskar bowed and laksh chuckled .
In the park , a beautiful girl was seen playing with soap bubbles which some of those small kids were creating . She turned to her left as she heard some weird noises , she saw her man beating his wife .
He was about to hit his wife when that girl stopped , “what are you about to do ????”
“Who are you to ask that ???? She is my wife and she didn’t earn her part of income today and that’s why I ‘m beating her !!!”
” So that’s your problem is it ??? Why do you want money ??? Happiness isn’t about money you have !!! It’s the memories you create with people in your life !!! Love can buy anything which money can’t !!! So pls….”
Sanskar recognised her as swara !!! ‘how could a girl be so selfless !!!! ‘ revealing that girl to be swara . sanskar was admiring her.
“Will you stop your lecture miss ??? What do you know about money …..” Someone interrupted him by kicking at his back harshly. He fell on the ground .
“What the hell ???? ” He shouted .
“You won’t listen if someone speaks to you in nice and polished manner I guess !!! What do you think of a woman ??? A machine that does all your work in the morning and satisfy your deeds in the night and you treat her submissive !!! Women have equal rights as that of men !!!! So stop doing this to her and treat her well or else you would see a worst side of me !!!!”
That man was horrified , “sure ma’am I would take care of her properly !!! Sorry ma’am now don’t hit me !!!”
“Now that’s a good spirit !!!” Huffled she by placing her hand on swara ‘s shoulder. Laksh saw all this and nodded his head in a no and went in search of Sanskar.
“What is the need to show your karate skills to that pour soul ragini ????” That rough and tough girl is revealed as ragini .
“He is so dominant and treating his wife in a cruel way !!! You know na how I ‘ll react if I see someone like that ???”
“Yeah Kali ma now we ‘ll go !!! You know what dad is pressuring me to get married to laksh Maheshwari !!! The great business man ‘s son and who takes care of Maheshwari empire !!!! But I don’t like him !!!”
( Swara doesn’t like rich guys because she believes that because of her dad being money minded , he didn’t shower proper love and care to her mom )
“Give a try swara !!! Not everyone will be money minded like your dad !!! There will be some good natured guy who are damn rich you know !!!!”
“I don’t want to risk my life …. Hey wait a second !!! Is that laksh ??? ”
“How do I know ??? ” Ragini quizzed her .
“Wait let me check his profile !!!! ” Swara recognised him by seeing his profile photo and showed him to ragini .
“Wow !!! Not a bad taste swara !!!! He is elegant and Posh !!!! Ahaan enjoy man !!!”
“Huh you started your work ragini !!!” * Tink tink * a message popped up on her Mobile , she saw laksh typing something and she checked her message from laksh ‘s account and thought that he is texting her . Here sanskar was text from laksh ‘s mobile to swara when laksh snatched the mobile from him and both left to their respective houses .
Days passed by and daily sanskar would text from laksh ‘s mobile to swara and she too replies to him daily !!!! Both fell in head over heels for the other. Swara told the same to ragini. Ragini asked swara to go on a date with him . So swara texted sanskar , “HEY LAKSH WHY DONT WE MEET ???”
Sanskar received her message and happiness knew no bounds , he was about to reply when the reality struck him , ‘ swara is thinking that I ‘m laksh !!! What if she comes to know about the truth ??? No let me just stall her ‘
“NO SWARA I HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING ON , SO I WON’T BE ABLE TO MEET YOU !!!”
Swara opened the message hoping to get a positive response but her smile faded away with his response . Ragini pulled the phone from her and saw and message , ” it’s okay swara , he ‘ll come on the other day !!!”
Swara asked him to meet her but each and every time he excused himself saying something or the other. She got pissed off to the core that she started crying .
“Hey swara what happened ???? Why are you crying ????”
“Ragini why laksh is doing like that ??? Each and every time he is stalling !!! Am I that bad ??? Or he isn’t interested ??? What is he thinking ???? Tell me idiot I ‘m asking you !!!”
“How am I supposed to know ??? Wait let me think ” Ragini placed her index finger on her chin and got engrossed in her thoughts.
“Idea !!!!” Ragini screeched , “why dont you tell him that you are in an emergency situation !!! If he is really interested in you then he ‘ll come !!!”
“Nice idea !!! Okay then go !!!”
“Whatttttttttt !!!!!!!!!”
“Ouch Don’t shout too much !!! Then my tympanic membrane would rupture !!! Yeah I asked you to go !!! ”
“Why should I go ???”
“If he doesn’t show up I will be heartbroken, so please please !!!”
“I ‘m not doing it !!!” She turned to the other side and crossed her arms across her chest.
“Pretty Please !!!” Swara showed her puppy eyes .
“Fine !!!!” Ragini rolled her eyes and Swara hugged her .

Message popped in laksh ‘s mobile , “HEY LAKSH I ‘M IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION !!! PLEASE HELP ME !!! I ‘M DRENCHED IN RAIN AND I HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW !!! NO ONE IS THERE TO PICK ME UP !!! IF I GET WET THEN I ‘LL CATCH COLD AND I ‘LL SPOIL TOMORROW’S MEETING SCHEDULE IN MY OFFICE !!! SO PLEASE HELP ME !!!”
Laksh read it and then understood it’s Sanskar’s girl who texted him. He dialed Sanskar ‘s number and he picked up the call and laksh informed him about the text . Sanskar was tensed at first thinking about swara in emergency , ‘anyway she is thinking me as laksh !!! if I go there then the cat would be out of the bag !!! Let laksh itself go ‘. He composed himself and replied , ” laksh I ‘m here with my grandpa for his regular check up . You go and check out !!!”
“How would I go to your girl ???”
“Common on laksh !!! Please won’t you do it for your sanskar ???” Dramatically.
“Stop it drambaaz !!! I ‘ll !!!”

Ragini was waiting there in the rain by holding her umbrella . She saw a car in towards her left and thinking that it’s laksh ‘s car , she threw her umbrella but it’s unfortunately someone else car . She was shocked because it was not laksh and now she was going get sick for real !!! There wasn’t any bus stop or some place where she could stand so she was drenched completely . She was shivering due to cold climate.
Laksh arrived at that place and he could see a girl dressed in a beautiful white shirt and floral short skirt upto her knee . He was lost in her beauteous figure !!!! He was staring at her either blinking his eyes , ‘ woah !!! I haven’t seen such a beautiful lady in my life !!! Is she sanskar ‘s girl ??? Her photo ??? What the hell are you doing laksh ??? You don’t know swara also !!!! Errr !!! May be she would be swara !!! Let me go and help her !!! Or else her man would kill me !!! ‘
Laksh rushed near her and tapped her shoulder . She turned and started yelling , “what do you think about yourself ??? Don’t you have manners ??? If there is any girl standing alone you would do that ??? See I ‘m not like other girls , I ‘ll slap you idiot !!! Stay in your limits !!!”
Laksh closed his eyes for a moment to maintain his calm state , ‘oh shit !!! Isn’t she the same girl who fought with that a*sh*le who tortured his wife ??? RIP to the man who is going to marry her !!! Ooh noo RIP sanskar ‘ ( He mentally rejoiced at his friend’s condition in the future ).
Laksh controlling himself , ” sorry since I received message from you , I thought to help you swara !!! ”
‘ hasn’t he seen swara ??? ‘ ragini got into her own world .
“Shall we leave ???”
“Hmmmm !!! Sorry laksh !!!” Ragini apologised by twisting her lips.
His heart skipped a beat ,’I haven’t seen such a heavenly beauty in my life . What are you talking ??? She is your friend ‘s girl and you are eyeing her !!! I Wish she was mine !!! She would have been my soul forever !!! Okay sanskar has a good taste !!! Maybe someone would be waiting for me !!! As of now wipe out the feelings for her .’
Ragini saw him eyeing at her with different emotions ,’What is that ??? I couldn’t get it . Yeah as swara said he looks good . I wish he was mine !!! No no what rubbish things are flooded in your mind !!! He is swara ‘s man !!! I should stay away from him !!! Don’t get attracted to him ragini !!! ‘ she nodded her head in a no and laksh ‘s expression Changed into a confused one . Ragini sensed that and , “nothing yaar !!! Come let’s go . I ‘m getting late ” saying this she avoided his eye contact and went and sat on the front passenger seat . Laksh also went and sat on his seat and started driver . Both didn’t utter anything . Both were stealing glances but were afraid to initiate the conversation . * Huchooo * ragini sneezed. Laksh offered his hand kerchief and while grabbing it her hand accidentally touched his hand .
?TERE SANG YAARA?

song was going on in the radio as if it was for their love story .
Both had unknown feelings on the other and both at the same time , ‘ I wish time stops here forever ‘ They reached swara ‘s house and ragini got down and laksh left from there without even seeing her . Ragini entered swara ‘s house when swara was about to hug her ,”Hey ragini how was ……”
“Stop right there swara !!! See I gave you idea but that all happened to me !!! I really have a meeting tomorrow and *achoooo* see I * huchooo * got cold !!! ”
“Sorry ” swara pouting cutely .
Ragini ‘s heart melt seeing her cute expression .

She smiled and swara asked her to dry herself .
The next day :
“Achoooo” she sneezed loudly and he turned around and got up and put a fatherly hand on her shoulder and asked.
“I am worried now, this is the 100th time you’ve sneezed in the past hour” asked and older man in a concerned tone.
“I am sorry sir…… (And she subconsciously started murmuring) Its all because of him, he should have come earlier”
“Because of who , you husband ?” Enquired her boss.
“What, God no, he was ….”
(Then she realised that she didn’t want to lose this wonderful position of the HR in a good company just because they thought she had a bad character of going around with just anybody)
“Oh ! My boyfriend”she gasped.
“Wow , really why was he late , leaving a beautiful lady such as yourself on a wet day” he exclaimed.
“I know it’s all because of…..”
(The door opened and in certain laksh)
“You, because you came late ” she said looking at him automatically using her hand to shut her mouth from uttering anymore and as if ordained by heaven she sneezed before she could signal him not to say anything or he would be her boyfriend according to her boss.
“Well you should have texted me earlier, before getting wet” he said in his defence and started placing a hand on her forehead to see if she has a fever.
“YOU, how many times have I asked you to marry you always stalled me saying that you want to marry the girl of your dreams and now that you have found her you have failed to intimate it to your own father , son I have raised you better than to be late when a lady is in danger , now look what will my daughter in law to be will think of me?”he said winking at already squirming ragini .
“No sir you are mistaken !!! Actually ….. ”
” I know that he is your boyfriend !!! ”
“No sir !!!!! I ‘m not his girlfriend !!! He just came to pick me ….. ”
” Yeah it’s you who texted me to pick you up !!!”
Laksh ‘s dad couldn’t figure out what’s going on . He just looked at laksh and ragini .
“So you were the one who asked him to come ??? ” Laksh ‘s father cleared his throat .
“Kuch nahi uncle !!! Let me explain to you clearly !!! This is me but that’s me !!!”
“What ????” Sounding Confused .
“Yeah this is me but that’s not me !!!!”
‘errrrrh his father scratched his head .’
“It’s all because of you !!! That’s today I ‘m messing up here !!!”
“What ” laksh asked as though he had been electrocuted and decided to get clean with swara.
“Listen , you are mistaken and I am not laksh , that is I am not the that laksh , I am the laksh.”
“I know you are laksh and you picked up this girl yesterday “boomed his father.
The door flung open and sanskar came in smiling away as he was humming a song and it came to a dead beat when he saw the perplexed faces that were glaring at him.

“It’s all because of you , I told you not to get me into trouble , whatever you do , look now dad thinks i love this girl ” he blamed
Sanskar took one look at ragini and asked and said “wow! do you love her, you laksh , I never expected you to go behind my back and ” ( and before he could congratulate him )
“I know but you only told me to…” His voice trailed off.
” see all this was because of you I ….” A shrill voice stopped him
“Again don’t start your blaming session. It was him I mean his name is sanskar and it was him who started texting with you and I didn’t text and I haven’t even seen your pic swara . you misunderstood me !!! I ‘m sorry !!!”
Now everything was on track and ragini ‘s confusions were cleared , ‘ so it isn’t laksh who was texting swara !!!! Wow my route is clear !!!! Yipeeeee !!! Ragu control now laksh doesn’t know anything !!! Let’s play with him ‘
“Sanskar come I need to talk to you !!!”
“Will anyone tell me what’s going on here ???”
“Let me tell you everything ” saying this ragini took sanskar with her . She took him to the other room and started narrating everything what happened from the scratch . Sanskar laughed out rolling on the floor . Both composed themselves and ragini bid bye to sanskar and she left . Sanskar went to laksh and laksh apologised .
Sanskar , ” leave my hand laksh !!! You spoiled everything !!!”
” Sanskar please listen ….” Before that he banged the door and left .
Laksh felt to sought out everything so he dialed swara ‘s number as he mistook ragini for swara . On that day ragini would have called her number as she left her phone in her house . Ragini picked up the call , ” Can I speak to swara ???”
‘ this is a familiar voice …. ‘ , “swara this is laksh !!! Are you there on the line ???”
Ragini suppressed her giggles , “laksh if you wanna know something then come to XYZ restaurant at 8:00 pm and I ‘ll tell you everything , as of now bye !!!” Without waiting for his reply she cut the call .
———————————–
Laksh reached their only to find sanskar talking with swara. Laksh neared them,
“Sanskar what are you doing ??? Are you insane ??? You are here with some other girl !!! Your girl is waiting there for you !!! She is so sweet , caring , heavenly beauty with marvellous attitude !!! You are lucky to have her as your life partner unlike me who is unlucky !!! , ‘ what am I upto ??? I spit out everything to him . What ‘ll he think about me !!! Being his best friend and trying for his girlfriend !!! Ehhh u laksh !!! Today you are going to die ….’
All his guilt filled thoughts were interrupted by sanskar , “oye just relax man !!! Why are you disturbing my love life !!!” ( He winked at swara ) . ( Ragini told everything to swara and swara too accepted for this drama )
“What the hell…….. ”
“Yeah I ‘m talking with my girlfriend and you …..”
Laksh pulled him by holding his collar , ” don’t cheat a pure soul sanskar !!! She really loves you a lot !!!! Don’t do this to her !!! If she comes to know that you are in adultery what ‘ll she do ???”
“What the …… Are you in your senses ???” She winked at sanskar .
“Swara leave him. He is a nut case only !!!”
“Swara ????” Confused .
“Yes tell me laksh. ”
“Then who is that girl ??? ”
“Ragini !!!” . “Yeah it’s me !!!” Ragini came from behind.
“Wha……. ” Laksh fainted there.
After sometime laksh recovered from that shock , all the three were laughing at his state . “Stop laughing you a*sh*les !!!”
“Relax laksh !!!! Even I was like you in the beginning when ragini told me everything but later I realised I love sanskar not you !!! So I accepted his proposal !!! You can too….. ( Winking at him ) I hope you understand !!!”
Laksh got it and turned to ragini ,” are you free ???”
“What ???” Ragini sounded offended .
“I mean are you single ??”
“Nope ”
“Are you in a relationship ???”
“Nope ”
“Are you a nun ???”
“Excuse me ???”
“Then what tell me !!!”
“I ‘m in love with a person. ”
“Whom ???” Sounding sadly .
“Come I ‘ll show him !!”
She pulled him with her and reached the washroom and she make him stand before the mirror and pointed her finger to his figure that appeared in the mirror.
“I couldn’t see anyone ….” Ragini face palmed herself , ” tubelight ” uttered under her breath.
“Shining brightly only for you !!!” He back hugged her and continued , “I ‘m not perfect but I love you !!! I really really love you !!! I want to be your best buddy , your partner in crime and your lover !!!”
Ragini let out a chuckle , ” I really love you for what you are !!! I don’t need a perfect boyfriend !!! I need you lucky !!!”

Both stood smilingly.
Swasan and raglak married pompously . Swara ‘s father didn’t allow for swasan ‘s marriage but raglak convinced her father and finally both are married .
After four years ,
Ragini was jumping to get something laksh was holding in his hand held up high . Ragini neared him and placed her index finger in his left cheek and drew a pattern till his chin . Laksh was lost in her cologne that he forget his key in his hand and ragini got it from him .
“Hey this is cheating yaar !!! Because of you I lost the game !!!”
“Everything is fair in love and war Mr . Maheshwari !!!”
“You are a liar Mrs. Maheshwari ” laksh turned to the other side . Ragini ‘s lips curved into a wide smile seeing his antics and she slipped her hand in his elbow curve And she side hugged him and placed her head on his shoulder , “I love you laksh ”

“I too ragu ma !!!” he tilted his head a bit and joined with her head.
Swara placed her head resting on sanskar ‘s shoulder and uttered smilingly seeing them, “he lost the game and she won his heart , who said love can’t bloom in a fight ???”
