Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari (Chapter 1)

Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari

SS – Chapter 1:

Unfettered into the deep darkness in a room, Ragini was lying on the floor, placing her head on a photo frame, filling it with tears and loosing herself to memories from the past.

“Kyu Lakshya? Kyu chodh ke chale gaye tum mujhko?!” Ragini cries as she caresses the glass of the photo frame.

The photo is revealed to be Lakshya’s, his smile, eyes and face were glimpsing from the photo but unfortunately, its captured merely behind the glass to only be glanced at.

“You’re a betrayer Lakshya, dhoka diya hai tumne mujhe!” Ragini’s mind speaks as tears dribble down.

Ragini closes her eyes bitterly, sobbing and sniffing, unable to control her cries which cannot define the pain that pricked her heart. All her mind could visualise is Lakshya.

The image of Lakshya soon forms into a ball and memories takeover.

Flashback:

8th June, 2016:

Kolkata International Liberty College (KILC):

“Welcome to KILC, I am thankful you have selected this college for your future education, we hope to give you the best education and make sure you have a great experience of this college life. Enjoy.” The principal declares and the students start moving.

As the students start leaving the college campus after the declaration of the principal, all sort of seemed bored.

“Kya pakao hai yeh.” A boy sighs while walking with his friend.

“Haa yaar.” His friend responded.

Few of the students were walking through the hall ways.

“Ragini.” A voice calls out to a girl in purple skirt with white blouse, revealing her to be Ragini.

Ragini turns with a smile but soon her facial expression changes, she turns back around and increases her speed.

“Ragini!” Again the same voice irritates Ragini’s ear drums.

She stops, allowing the anger rise and turns but little did she know that turn would cause her slip back. Before she could fall onto the floor, one masculine hand wraps around her waist to hold her.

Ragini’s eyes get locked with another two pair of chocolate brown eyes. The students continued moving, ignoring the ‘filmy’ scene that Ragini is trapped with.

“Lakshya! How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from me?!” Ragini uttered in anger after snapping out of the trap, revealing the boy that had held her and called her name to be Lakshya.

Lakshya makes her stand and she distances herself away from him.

“Stay away from me!” She warns, taking her steps back and showing her palm to Lakshya, who is simply lost in her beauty.

Ragini turns around, hiding her face from Lakshya’s eyes which brings him back to reality.

“He’s such a cheapo, I joined yesterday and he’s already flirting with me.” Ragini whispers annoyedly, under her breath.

“College’s first girl who is irritated with me.” Lakshya utters under his breath as he walks away with a sheepish smile, scratching his head and tap dancing away.

Ragini Gadodia, a newcomer who had joined yesterday, it was initially Lakshya’s dare to rag her but she ended up insulting, shouting and ragging him before he could say anything to her. There was something in her which made Lakshya angry replace with a smile.

“Lafanga Chor! What do you think? I’m stupid that I won’t realise why you approached me? Stay away! Ragging huh? Now I will teach you how to Rag! Move back! I said move back!….. Good! Now turn around and leave with respect! Looser! Arrey, why are you standing and looking at my face? Leave! Or else I wouldn’t stop myself to punch you! Aya bada mujhe nichorne! Pagad Chuha!” Ragini’s words repeat through Lakshya’s mind. He chuckles and shakes his head in disbelief.

“Hi, my name is Lakshya, you can call me Lucky.” Lakshya’s words, after getting insulted yesterday, pokes Ragini’s ears.

“Pagad Chuha, who introduces themselves after getting insulted and why is he after me!” Ragini sighs and rolls her eyes while taking a seat in the exam hall for an exam.

It is often a rule in KILC to sit an Maths Exam on the second day of college so that the results could help the teachers understand what to do.

Ragini was relaxed and waiting, she glances around and to her surprise, Lakshya walks pasts her, taking a seat on the table in front.

“Oh gosh!” Ragini lightly taps her forehead with her right palm.

Ragini was clearly unhappy with Lakshya sitting in front of her, he, without turning around, folded his arms across his chest and slightly smirked.

**
The exam announcement was made, everyone started writing, including Ragini and Lakshya. The hall was very quite, Lakshya closes his paper after completing it and relaxes back on the chair, seeming bored.

Few seconds later, Ragini closes her paper after finishing it and placed her back pen into its home, the pencil case.

An idea barged into Lakshya’s mind, he couldn’t help but bow down to his unique of an idea and grasped onto his Calculator.

Ragini was looking at the back of his head and rolled her eyes, in no time, Ragini’s eyes land on Lakshya’s Calculator and she slightly narrowed her eyes to read what it says. Lakshya’s had purposely held it slightly high so Ragini could see and Ragini shakes her head in disbelief as on the calculator, Lakshya’s had written his number.

“Calculator pe apna number?” Ragini’s mind spoke and she looked away, ignoring his ‘wanted’ number.

Lakshya moves his chair slightly back which hits into Ragini’s table, the table wobbles and her calculator falls onto the floor. The teacher walks up to the two and collects their papers, signing the two to go. Lakshya picks Ragini’s calculator up and stands up, forwarding it to her. Ragini snatches it out of his hand and leaves with her equipment.

Lakshya sheepishly grins and follows on.

End of Flashback.

Ragini opens her eyes as soon as the door opens.

“Irritation in the past and pain in present, what made RagLak reach this stage in life? What is causing Ragini pain? What is the truth of Lakshya in present? Was there something hidden behind that grin or is it something else…?” I asked, yes me, the author of this story. Haha!!
