Sanskaar was still looking at door… when laksh put his hand on his shoulder, he came back in his sense. What rubbish was she taking…. You listened what she said…. asked he looking at laksh still shocked. Laksh smiled sheepishly. Sanskaar widen his eyes looking at him. You knew that…. You knew that…that she thinks me as.. as swara’s husband… asked he with wide eyes. Wo…actually…when she said it to me.. I too wanted to tell her truth… but then I thought to…..said laksh nervously. You thought what… Isn’t it necessary to clear her misunderstanding… asked he with little anger.Wo I thought that Just like you teased me in my time I should also get that chance. So to tease you back I didn’t tell her…said laksh in one breath, turned n close his eyes tightly. Ok but…. Whaaaaatttttttttt…..
You idiot, duffer,moron,stupid… Just to tease me… You didn’t tell her truth n started flirting with her… I will kill you… said he punching him on his stomach. Are are…stop I am sorry .. said laksh running when he saw him lifting a file in his hand to hit him. Sorry…..you idiot.. I am gonna teach you how to say sorry.. said he throwing the file towards him. The race started… laksh was running n screaming for help.. n sanskaar behind him… throwing whatever comes in his hand..at last sanskaar hold him..push him to ground n sat on his stomach.. n started punching him.Both were breathing heavily due to continuous running,being tried sanskaar collapsed upon him…At that time door brust open. Why you guys screami……..Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh…..screamed ragini seeing their position who came to see them after listening laksh’s scream. Now why are you screaming… both asked in unison… still laying there.
Behave yourself you idiots… this is office not the place to do…. t..hi..ss…said ragini hesitating pointing their positions looking here n there. Both look at eachother confused… But suddenly wide their eyes realising n stood up instantly embarrassed. Both look towards the gate.. where all the staff standing watching them with wide open mouth… Get back to ur work.. This is office not a circus where you guys enjoying….said sanskaar looking at staff..whereas ragini chuckled. All dispersed within a moment n ragini closed the door. Now who is going to tell me… What happened in this small gap…Its not even 10 min. me going from here…said she looking at the cabin’s condition. Nothing girlfriend wo just…aahhh.. laksh started but screamed when sanskaar stamped his foot glaring at him with a look ‘ Flirt with her n you will get one more ‘. What was that sanskaar… Why are you hitting him..look at his condition.. he is looking totally messed up..shirt out,messy hair,loose tie…why you both husband n wife are behind him… said she sympathically looking at him who was still holding his foot in one hand.
He deserved this… said sanskaar glaring him when he made a puppy face n mouthed a sorry. Really what had he done..???..he is soo sweet.. but you two taking advantage of his innocence…said ragini coming towards laksh, hold his hand n make him sit on a chair. Sanskaar mouth shaped a big ‘O’.You are right girlf…..I mean ragini…they both are very bad… always do this with me…said laksh innocently n wink at sanskaar. Why ragini… U call me girlfriend naa…then call me that only… said she setting his tie n hair.Ur wish is my command girlfriend… said he bowing his head in front of her n both lauhed loudly. Sanskaar was still looking at them with mouth ‘O’ shaped n burning in jealousy. Stop you both…and laksh should I tell this to swato…said he threatening him with a naughty smile.Laksh gulped hard. Wo..wo.. ragini..you go.. do ur work.. will talk later… said laksh nervous. Ragini left giving a glare to sanskaar. So before I tell all your mishap to swato.. you are going to tell ragini entire truth..otherwise you know… what will swato do if she got to know that you are spoiling my love story before it starts…. said sanskaar giving a teasing look to laksh. Fine I will tell her….but not because I am afraid from ur swato…
I will tell because I wanted you to be happy, I have seen how much you missed her in these years..you pretended to be happy with us but I know how much you cried for her…now its ur time to be happy ……said laksh smiling looking emotionally at him. His eyes became teary.. n he immediately hugged laksh. I really love her yaar..I truly… madly in love with her..said he closing his eyes to control his tears. Laksh hugged back, his eyes also became moist to see his friend…no not friend.. his brother… like this. Even though he didn’t know sanskaar from childhood like swara… still he has same place in his heart. Their Sansii became a integral part of their life.Both composed themselves and parted.You made me emotional you idiot… said sanskaar laughing little wiping tears from the corner of his eyes. Laksh too laugh a little. And now if you don’t want another punishment… toh..let me remind you.. Its 12:00..n you have to reach home to prepare lunch…. said sanskaar teasingly. Not again…. said laksh sitting on floor with a thud..placing hand on his head.
Its evening… office closing time… laksh didn’t return from home after lunch. Sanskaar please manage all work.. I can’t come yaar.. I am really tired.. swara went for some work so I am going to sleep till she come back…I have managed ansh..please if you can make ur swato somewhere busy… n let me sleep please…. said laksh on phone to him when he called laksh to ask about his whereabouts after lunch. He was remembering his convo with laksh when he saw ragini packing her stuff for going home. Ammm…Can I drop you home… asked he little nervous. No thanks, I don’t need your help… said she little annoyed. I am sorry….said he.Why are you sorry… asked she confused. You are upset because of me naa…that I was teasing laksh… that’s why.. sorry… said he innocently. She smiled a little looking at his face. You should tell him sorry… instead of me..he will feel good… said she with a sweet smile.
He is not here..still she is thinking about him..and here I am asking her to drop her..n she is showing attitude to me..huh kya hoga tera sanskaar… murmured he. Did you said something ???… asked she. No no nothing… I will say him sorry… said he making faces without her notice n turned to go. Where are you going… asked she looking at his back. Now what she want..I am not going to tell sorry to that idiot now itself.. murmured he again and turned towards her.At home why….asked he. Will you not drop me at home.. asked she looking at him. His face glow like 100 watt bulb. Ofcourse… Come.. Let’s go…..after you… said he holding the open door gesturing her to go first.
I told you to arrange study n make snacks for me..n you are sleeping here….said swara throwing a pillow at laksh when she saw him sleeping. But laksh didn’t move. Laksh….I said.. wake up… said she again shaking him a little but still there is no movement. She got little worried. Laksh… said she lovingly placing a hand on his cheek. He opened his eyes slowly but after looking at her widen his eyes. Wo..wo…swara.. I’ll make snacks .. U wait here…said he sitting up. I love you laksh… I really love you… said she hugging him.He became surprised at her sudden confession but hugged her back. But he became shocked when he found his shirt wet n look at swara..who was crying hugging him tightly. He smiled looking at her.Again you started jaan…how many times I have to tell you that I enjoyed it, no need to feel bad shona…said he cupping her face wiping her tears with his thumbs. I am very bad laksh… I always punish you… for small mistake also…but you should stop me naaa…look how tired you are looking… said she caressing his face lovingly. You can compensate your punishment by giving me reward…. said he winking. I too want share in ur reward because I was on ur side naa dad…said ansh happily coming into the room. Swara blushed hard n laksh chuckled. Champ tell your mumma naa..give fast..we are waiting… said he teasingly looking at swara’s red face. Mummaaa….started ansh but interrupted by swara….anshhh…go to your room and do your homework n you wake up n get fresh.. I am going to make something for you both….said swara composing herself n standing up.Nooooooooo…..screamed both horrified at the same time. She jerked and look at them. Wo…wo…we are happy with Madhav kaka’s food…why u r taking burden jaan…said laksh managing her.Haan mumma… we won’t eat your food…. I mean to say…we won’t like if you do this much work.. You take rest mumma.. I am going to complete my homework… said ansh innocently with a deep sigh n see towards laksh with a look “I can’t do more cover up dad”. Swara nodded n both take a deep breath relaxing themselves. Suddenly ansh kiss swara on her cheek…n run outside the room screaming ‘I have taken my reward mumma, now you can give that dad too’.
Swara’s mouth hung wide open while laksh chuckled n pull her towards him by keeping his hand on her waist. So my reward….asked he looking at her lips. She blushed looking at the desire in his eyes. You will get ur reward tonight…till then wait patidevv..said she pushing him little n run from there. He laughed looking at her. Haayeeee….When will this night come….said he falling on his bed keep a hand on his heart.
So why did you dissappear suddenly after the college… asked sanskaar driving the car. Wo…I went to my hometown… then from where me n maa shifted to Kolkata…. replied she looking at him remembering the reason behind her sudden departure. You know how much we miss you… I mean how much swato miss you…. She even told about you to ansh… said he smiling. I too miss you all.. “Especially you”said she murmuring the last part. You know she even told me that if she gives birth to a baby girl then she’ll named her ragini….Imagine if she gave birth to a baby girl then I would love her like I love ansh….my little ragini…said he dreaming. Ragini get goosebumps listening him. His little ragini….wish it could happen but it is impossible….thought she.
We reached….said he stopping the car in front of her house breaking her trance. Thank you… said she smiling n came out of the car. Won’t you invite me for coffee…asked he too coming out of the car. Nothing like that… come…. said she n opened the lock of her apartment. If I ask you something will you answer me..??..asked he coming into the kitchen behind her. She nodded n start preparing coffee for them. That day…u said you love someone… Who is he..??… asked he looking at her. She became nervous… wo..wo…why you want to know about him…asked she diverting him. Because You are my friend n I should know naa..with whom my friend is in love… said he avoiding eye contact with her. We are friends… questioned her. I thought you talk to me only because of I am ur swato’s friend otherwise toh….
You feel irritated with me..right… said she looking at him n turned to pour coffee into mugs. Ragini I didn’t mean like that…I am really sorry.. I am an idiot… a real idiot… Please forgive me..n if you feel I talked to you just because of swato… then you are thinking wrong… but still we can start from starting… Hiii…I am Sanskaar Maheshwari…. said he forwarding his hand. Ragini Malhotra…. n me too sorry for my behavior… said she placing her hand in his hand. So as now I am your friend… Now you can tell me his name… right…asked he faking smile. Sometimes something you never want to share with anyone… he is like that only.. he will always remain in my heart…but not in my destiny..said she emotionally looking into his eyes. He felt a pang in his heart listening her words… she loved…no no…
love someone too deeply. Its better if I will not confess my love to her, I can’t loose her friendship….thought he n his eyes became moisty.Both were looking in eachother eyes painfully. What an irony… Both love eachother immensely but thinking about they love someone else… both hiding their feelings. Coffee… said she handling him a cup of coffee breaking their eyelock. And after that they sat in silence sipping their coffee feeling disheartened looking at eachother.
Its night almost 2….but two people are in their own world.
Jaan I want to tell you something..said laksh laying on his side breathing heavily. Hmmm…said she placing her head on his shoulder making circles on his bare chest. You know ragini thinks that you and sanskaar are married and ansh is his son….said he looking at ceiling. Hmmm….said she again making circles lost in her own world. Laksh became confused seeing her reaction… so he looked towards her who is completely lost in his colenge n nuzzle her face in the crook of his neck. He smiled and asked her again… Swara did you listen what I said. Hmmm…again came same reply. Swara I said I have an affair with my secretary… said he in her ear little loudly. Swara jerked n punched on his shoulder. Don’t you dare to play ur tricks on me…I know you are straight,I have proof…but still I have to tell aman to maintain distance from you…. said she chuckling. Laksh bite his tongue realizing that aman is his secretary now due to swara’s possessive behavior.
Wo you were not listening that’s why I said like this.. Leave about that…I was talking about RagSan…. said he taking her in his embrace again. I am happy about them…finally my sansii is going to get his happiness… said she smiling. Wo….swara…ragini thinks that….that ansh is sanskaar’s son…said he waiting for her reaction. Haan so what…ansh is like his son only naa…They both are inseparable…said she smiling again. You didn’t understand what I am saying… I said she thinks that ansh is sanskaar’s son..I mean yours n his son…said he looking at ceiling again. Whatttttt…..asked she shocked sitting beside him.
So why are you telling me this… You should have told her the truth that ansh is our son….ours….You told her right.. don’t you …..asked she narrowing her eyebrows. Wo wo…I thought to tease sanskaar so I didn’t tell her anything… said he nervous. What the hell…how could you…. You know naa how he lived in these years without her…said she with little anger. I am sorry… I’ll tell her tomorrow.. Please don’t be upset… said he cupping her face but she jerked his hands, lay down turning her back towards him covering herself with sheet. Laksh too laid beside her n back hugged her.She resisted but he tighten his grip and wishpered sorry in her ear and sleep in that position only. She too closed her eyes thinking about his sansii n his love for ragini.
