He came up there ragini was setting up the plate for him..he came forward and sat down touching her bare waste… She looked at him and he smirked.. Then she looked around if anybody else has seen this but nobody did..

Laksh: Ragini..jaldi se breakfast laga do..mujhe office ke liye late ho raha hai..
Ragini: (a bit angrily) Koi late nahi ho raha… (Got normal seeing everybody) Uh…humara matlab hai ki..araam se karna chahiye breakfast..
Ap: (smiled) Haan..laksh.. Ragini theek keh rahi hai…

Laksh smirked…

Dp: Laksh..wo malhotra ji ki jagah unki beti aayi thi kal.. Kaisa kaam kar rahi hai wo?
Laksh: Yes papa.. Nikita.. (Teasing ragini) Bohot accha kaam karti hai..

Ragini was showing that she doesn't care..

Ap: nikita..? Wo hi jo chhoti si thi..
Laksh: chhoti si? Maa wo ab chhoti si nahi hai.. Kaafi badi ho gayi hai..aur beautiful bhi ho gayi hai…

Ragini was ignoring him and was having breakfast..

Dp: Laksh.. Usey aache se kaam samjha dena.. Aur wo nayi hai to usi hisaab se pesh aana uske saath..
Laksh: Ji papa.. Don't worry… (Smiled)

Ap: suniye ji…aaj shaam ko jaldi aa jaiyega.. Holika dehn hai na aaj.. Tum bhi laksh..
Laksh: Ok maa..
Parineeta: Maasi ji.. Hum soch rahe the ki hum aaj hi chale jaaye..waha maa baba bhi humara itnezaar kar rahe honge..
Ap: Arey lekin aaj hi kyu?
Aadarsh: Wo kya hai na maasi.. Maa baba humare bina holi nahi manayenge..
Laksh: Arey to unko bhi lekar aana tha na bhaiya.. Anyways mujhe kuch nahi pata.. Aap log yaha se holi ke baad hi jaoge..

Aadarsh: Laksh..main rukk jata mere bhai..lekin..samajhne ki koshish kar..

Ap: Theek hai.. Jaisa tum log ko theek lage..
Laksh: Lekin maa..
Ap: Laksh zidd mat karo.. Sab koi tumhare mutabik chale aisa mumkin nahi hai..

Laksh got a bit angry and kept quiet..Then they had breakfast… And men went out of the house… Laksh reached office to his cabin.. He sat down..just then nikita came up there..

Nikita: (on the door) May I come in sir?
Laksh: (looked up) Come in..
Nikita: Sir.. Ye kuch presentations hain.. Maine dekh li hain.. Inme se kuch ekdum perfect hain..aur kuch me thodi kami thi wo maine wapis de di hain.. Ab aap ye check kar lijiye… Aur phir meeting ke liye jo bhi presentation hogi wo aap hi select kar lijiye…
Laksh: (a bit angrily) Ab tum mujhe bataogi ki mujhe kya karna hai…?
Nikita: (nervous) n..no sir.. Mera wo matlab na..I..I'm sorry…
Laksh: Whatever.. Ye presentations yaha rakho aur jaake wo files check karo..
Nikita: O..ok sir..
Laksh: Aur baad me ye mujhse sign karwane ke baad forward kar dena.. Mujhe kisi bhi haalat me parso ye present karni hai..aur wo deal haasil karni hai..
Nikita: Ok sir..
Laksh: Now stop this Ok sir..ok sir.. Aur kaam karo…

Nikita didn't say anything… She got nervous and started crying silently.. She sat on the sofa aside and started checking the files.. Laksh got busy in presentations..
After sometime.. Nikita brought the files to him..

Nikita: Sir..ye files…
Laksh: (looked up) Hmm.. Laao do..

She handed over ther files to him.. He took them and opened it.. He looked into the pages to sign just then he saw the ink marks faded at some places due to tears.. He got up..

Laksh: Ye kya hai nikita.. What is this?
Nikita: (got scared) What sir..?

He threw the file on the table..

Laksh: (angrily) Tum yaha office me rone ke liye aayi ho..? Arey jab kaam hota hi nahi hai to kyu karte ho? Tumse better to tumhare papa the.. 10 baate sunte the lekin kaam perfect hota tha.. But you.. Ye file..ye file dikhaunga main parso meeting me..?
Nikita: (crying) s..ss…sss..sorry..
Laksh: Shut up.. And get out..
Nikita: Sir main khud prepare kar..
Laksh: (he grinded teeth) I said get out..

She cried more and got out of the cabin.. Laksh was angry as hell.. He again came back to his presentations… Just then his phone rang.. He took his phone up and saw its ragini calling him.. His expressions slowly changed from anger to a smile..

Laksh: Ragini…? (Picked up the phone) Hello baby.. (Smiling) Meri yaad aa rahi hai? But sorry..I'm very busy..
Ragini: (on phone) Jaante hain.. Kuch zyada hi busy hain aap.. Humne bass itna kehne ke liye phone kiya tha ki..
Laksh: I love you? Haan…. I know that..
Ragini: Aisa kuch nahi hai.. Aap pehle…Baat suniye humari.. Hum ye keh rahe the ki..
Laksh: ki tumhe bohot yaad aa rahi hai meri.. Ok main ghar aa jaata hu.. (Smirked)
Ragini: (irritated) Laksh.. ..theek hai..humari galti thi jo humne aapko phone kiya ..bye..

Laksh: (smiled) Accha accha.. Ragini ruko.. Bolo kya keh rahi thi..?
Ragini: Wo..hum keh rahe the ki…aate hue bhai aur swara ko bhi lete aaiyega..aur.. Aur thoda jaldi aaiyega..
Laksh: (getting his eyes bigger) jaldi? Jaanti ho patni aisa apne pati ko kab kehti hai.. Jab wo apne pati ke saath time spend karna chahti ho.. To theek hai.. Aaj main jaldi aa jaunga.. Tumhare saath time spend karne ke liye.. By the way kaho to abhi aa jau?
Ragini: Nahi.. Aisi koi baat nahi hai.. Wo hume maa ne kaha tha aisa bolne ko.. Shaam ko holika dehn hai isliye..
Laksh: (smirked) Ok meri jaan.. Aa jaunga jaldi.. Aur swara sanskaar ko bhi le aaunga..bass..?
Ragini: Haan bass..ab hum phone rakhte hain..
Laksh: Haan ok.. (She was about to end the call) ragini ek minute.. (She stopped) I love you..
Ragini: Bye..
Laksh: (a bit angrily) tumhe I love you too bolna chahiye..
Ragini: Laksh..humare paas waqt nahi hai bohot kaam hai.. Bye..

She ended the call.. Laksh looked at his phone and smiled..then his eyes fell on that file and he realised that he has scolden nikita so much.. He called a peon..

Laksh: Nikita ko mere cabin me bhejo..

After sometime nikita came in..scared..

Nikita: (hesitatingly) May I come in sir..
Laksh: (looked up) Hmm..come in..

She came in and stood infront of him without looking up..laksh sat comfortably placing his back on chair..

Laksh: (half raised eyebrows) Tum ro kyu rahi thi?
Nikita: Wo…wo sir..mujhse pehle kabhi kisi ne aise baat nahi ki thi..so..
Laksh: Don't mind that please.. (She looked up at him amazed) I know main thoda zyada hi rude ho gaya tha.. Anyways.. Ab ye files..ye files dobara prepare karo.. Aur koi problem ho to mujhse puch lena…Hmm?
Nikita: (smiled a bit) Ok sir..
Laksh: (smiled) Ok then.. Get back to your work..

She took up the files and went from there smiling.. Laksh got back to his presentation.. Nikita came to the sofa and sat down thinking in her mind..

Nikita: thoda khadus hai.. Par sweet bhi hai.. Especially his smile..oh god.. (She smiled..then she came to reality) kya kar rahi hai nikita.. Phir se daant khaani hai..? Chal..kaam kar..

Then she started working..after sometime She looked at laksh from the sofa.. And he was working on his laptop.. She was feeling attraction towards him.. She did the same in between the work..Just then laksh looked up at his watch.. And got up closing his laptop.. And went out of there setting his blazer..

Nikita: (Looked at her watch) itni jaldi chale gaye? abhi to time bhi nahi hua.. Anyways.. Mujhe jo kaam dekar gaye hain wo to kar lu.. Sir khush ho jayenge..

She took another file smiling..
After sometime in MM..
Everybody were outside for holika dehn.. Laksh was wearing deep red coloured kurta with white payjaami and ragini was wearing yellowish lehenga..

Laksh: Accha hua aadarsh bhaiya aapne jaane ke plan ko postpone kar diya..
Aadarsh: haan.. Ab tujhe kaise naraaz kar sakta tha..

Then both of them smiled..

Ap: Ab bharat milaap ho gaya ho to aarti kare?

Everybody laughed.. Then they came forward and did aarti in couples..

Ap: Ragini.. Beta sab ko aarti de do..
Ragini: (Smiled) ji maa…

Ragini gave aarti to all of them.. In the end she came to laksh.. laksh raised his hands to take the aarti..

Laksh: Oh god.. Ye meri patni ko thodi akal de do.. Taaki isey ye yaad aa jaaye ki humari shaadi ho chuki hai.. Main iska pati hu aur ye meri patni..
Ragini: Hume yaad hai ki humari shaadi ho chuki hai.. Aap humare pati hain..aur hum aapki patni…bass aap bhi yaad rakhe to behtar hoga..

Laksh looked up at her being amazed.. Stopped his hands..and they got burnt..

Laksh: Aahhh…

He pulled his hand back.. Ragini got worried.. She placed the plate aside.. And held his hand.. Blowing on it..

Ragini: (scolding him in concern) laksh kya karte hain aap? Pata nahi kaha dhyaan rehta hai aapka..jal gaya naa aapka haath..?

Laksh got surprised to see her concern.. He smiled and everybody smiled seeing them like that..

Parineeta: Dekho to zara.. Kitni fikr hai ragini ko apne pati ki..
Swara: Kyu nahi hogi bhabhi.. Bhai bhi to kitni fikr karte hain ragini ki…

Ragini came in reality.. She looked around and got embarassed.. She looked down..

Ragini: (hesitating) Wo..aap rukiye…h..hum dawayi le aate hain..
Laksh: (held her hands..she stopped) Ragini.. Koi zarurat nahi hai.. Theek hai mera haath.. (Showing her his hand) dekho…

Ragini looked at his hand…

Ap: Chalo..ab dehn kar dete hain..

Then they all took rounds around holika with their partners..and then they burnt it..

On the other hand..

Nikita was in her room…thinking something sitting on a sofa with files in her hand… Just then a girl came to her..

Girl: Niki..?
Nikita: (turned back) arey shilpa tu..? Aa naa..
Shilpa: Kya aa naa? Tu holika dehn par kyu nahi aayi..hai kaha tu aaj kal?
Nikita: Arey kya batau.. Abhi abhi office join kiya hai..aur kaam ka bhi bohot burden hai..

Nikita: Arey papa wo maheshwari's company me kaam karte the na..to ab papa ki jagah main hu waha..
Shilpa: Thats cool.. Lekin..holika dehn par to aa hi sakti thi yaar…
Nikita: Yaar main aa jaati..lekin mujhe kal hi files ready karni hai.. Aur phir sir se sign karwa kar forward bhi karni hai.. Otherwise wo gussa ho jayenge..
Shilpa: Gussa ho jayenge? Buddha hai kya?
Nikita: Nahi pagal hai kya? He's young.. Shaadi ki umar hogi abhi unki..
Shilpa: oh..

Nikita: gussa aur attitude to jaise naak par rehta hai unki.. (Smiled) But he's caring..aaj pehle to mujhe daant diya.. Aur cabin se nikaal diya…main roi bhi…phir khud hi bulaya aur sorry bola..and itna hi nahi.. He said..koi bhi problem ho to mujhse bolna..
Shilpa: Oh ho.. Kya baat hai.. You know.. I think ussey tere aansu dekhe nahi gaye honge..you know.. Aisi love storied ki shuruwaat aise hi hoti hai.. Pehle boss daanta hai..phir khud hi aansu ponchhta hai.. Aur phir gale bhi lagata hai…aur phir…

Shilpa: Haan..kar kar..otherwise..kahi tere boss ko gussa naa aa jaaye..
Nikita: Shilpa… Jaa ab..

Nikita: kuch bhi bolti hai ye…

Then she reminded laksh..and smiled..

Next day..
It was holi.. Everybody were in main hall.. Laksh was wearing white shirt with blue jeans.. Ragini was wearing white lehenga having pinkish work on it.. Anpurna was holding colour's plate infront of DP… She applied a teeka on his forehead.. He also took a pinch of it.. He also applied a teeka on her forehead and filled her maang.. Same did sujata – Ram prasad… and Parineeta – aadarsh.. Then DP and ram prasad went from there..Now it was Raglak's turn.. Ragini held the plate of red colour.. And laksh stood infront of her.. Smiling.. She looked up.. Then she took a sigh and applied a teeka on his forehead..

Laksh: Hmm… Ab meri baari..

Ragini got nervous.. He raised up his hand..

Ragini: (hesitatingly and nervously) L…laksh..sirf ek teeka hi lagana hai..
Parineeta: Nahi nahi devar ji.. Aisa koi rule nahi hai..

Ragini got more scared..

Laksh: I know bhabhi.. Rule hota bhi to bhi nahi maanta main to..

Pareenita and all laughed…ragini got a bit more nervous..sujata came forward to them

Sujata: Na..tu itna ke darr rahi hai.. Thaara pati hi to hai na.. Je pehli holi hai tum dono ki saadi ke baad.. Ek dusre ko rang lagao..maje se khelo..

Laksh smirked at her..then he filled his both hands in colour and ragini got her eyes bigger.. He raised his hands and applied colour on sujata's face who was standing beside him.. And laughed.. Ragini took a sigh.. Everybody laughed.. And sujata stood closing her eyes making a funny face.. Then she opened her eyes..

Sujata: Laks…thaare ko to main..
Laksh: (ran from there) arey chaachi..bura naa maano holi hai..

And everybody were laughing..

Ap: arey bass..bass.. Laksh.. Chalo ragini ko rang lagao.. Phir swara aur sanskaar ki bhi baari hai..
Laksh: Ok maa…

Laksh came to ragini.. And applied a teeka on her forehead and then filled her centre parting with which she closed her eyes and opened them.. Laksh was looking at her smiling..and they both looked into eachother's eyes..his eyes were full of love.. Ragini couldn't see anything in his eyes except a lot of love for herself..then parineeta came from behind and applied colour on laksh's face.. Laksh got amazed looking back..parineeta backed off..

Laksh: (moving ahead..taking the colour..grinding teeth) Bhabhi..ab aap bach ke dikhao..

She ran out and he ran after her.. Ragini looked on at him and a smile came on her face seeing that childish side of him..
After that..
Everybody were playing holi outside.. Ragini and all others also came there.. Holi songs were being played.. Then sanskaar also came from behind and applied colour and swara's face..

Swara: (amazed) Haww sanskaar..

Sanskaar went from there in group of people.. After some time.. He was coming back..he saw swara's is not being seen anywhere.. Just then he heard her voice.. "Sanskaar" he smiled and turned back…and she poured a bucket of coloured water on him.. He got amazed..she ran from there and he also ran from there.. Durga prasad and other elders were sitting aside.. Some ladies came and took anpurna and sujata with them..now ragini was standing alone..at the door step.. Everybody was playing.. She saw laksh.. He was happy and laughing colouring bhabhi and all.. Then laksh also looked at her.. She removed her eyes.. He walked towards her and she got nervous.. Just then amar came in his way..

Amar: Laksh?
Laksh: (stopped) amar?

Then they hugged eachother.. And talked in a loud voice as there was so much of noice..

Laksh: aur meghna ka kya hua..?
Amar: Maan gayi yaar…
Laksh: Maan gayi.. ? Iss baat par to celebration banta hai.. (He stopped chandan) ek minute.. (Took up two glasses of thandayi..) Ye le.. Aur pee..
Amar: (taking the glass) aur tere wali kaha hai.. ?
Laksh: Wo rahi wahan…

He looked at her and drank the thandayi looking at her…and she was smiling seeing all of them..

Amar: wo to theek hai lekin itni saaf suthri kyu hai..wo bhi aaj ke din..?
Laksh: (looked at him) Main bhi ye hi soch raha hu.. (Looked at ragini) mere hote hue meri ragini itni saaf suthri kyu hai..wo bhi aaj ke din..?
Amar: bhai..shaayad usey pata nahi hai ki holi kaise khelte hain..
Laksh: (drank full of the thandayi looking at ragini) Hmm..chal.. Main usey bata ke aata hu ki aaj holi hai.. Aur holi kaise kheli jaati hai..

He walked towards her.. Raising half of his eyebrows..And she got nervous.. He cleaned his lips with the back of his hand while looking at her.. And then he came to her…

Laksh: Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho? (Held her hand and was about to drag her) chalo chalke holi khelte hain..
Ragini: (stopped) nahi.. H..hume holi khelna pasand nahi hai..
Laksh: Aise kaise pasand nahi hai..? Ragini ye humari shaadi ke baad ki pehli holi hai..
Ragini: Hogi.. Lekin hume nahi khelni..
Laksh: ( griding teeth with a smirk) Arey aise kaise nahi khelni..?

He pulled her and held her up in his arms.. And she got nervous..

Ragini: Laksh…laksh kya kar rahe hain aap…??

He moved ahead.. And dropped her in water's tank.. She got completely wet.. She got up in the tank and was looking really irritated and angry…

Ragini: (shouted) Laksh…!!!!

Everybody laughed seeing them.. She got embarassed and laksh smirked..

Laksh: Arey meri jaan… bura naa maano.. Holi hai..

And he laughed…ragini got irritated..

Ragini: ab baahar nikaaliye hume yaha se..

He came forward while grinning and offered hands to her..she looked at him.. Then she held his hand and got out of the tank..and got bumped into his chest.. They looked into eachother's eyes.. He was smiling and she was nervous and embarassed too..she then removed her eyes and went in the house.. Laksh smirked while looking on at her…

Amar: Bhai.. Bhabhi ji to bura maan gayi.. Ab tujhe usey manana padega..
Laksh: (smirked) Hmm.. Usey manane me hi to maza aata hai mujhe…anyways.. Chal.. Ab parineeta bhabhi ki baari hai..

Ragini came in her room and took another lehenga from cupboard.. Then she went into the washroom and came out after sometime..now she was fresh wearing a fresh lehenga of sky blue and baby pink colour..she came infront of the mirror.. And took up sidoor's box in her hand.. Then she applied sindoor on her centre parting and thought of the incident.. The way he picked her up.. The way he dropped her in tank.. The way he took her hands in his own.. And then how she got bumped into him… Then she reminded how he laughs.. How he enjoys.. How he never forgets her.. She smiled thinking this…and got out of the room.. Just then she saw laksh coming upstairs..to the room with colour in his hands..her eyes got bigger..she ran to the other side and got hidden..laksh came in the room.. And looked around..

Laksh: Ragini..? Where are you baby?

Ragini got nervous..

Ragini: (thinking to herself) abhi to nahaaye hain hum..ye phir se ganda kar denge hume..

Laksh came out..

Laksh: Kaha chali gayi ye?

He went from there.. Ragini peeped out.. And saw that he's going.. She took a sigh and came in the room..

Ragini: room me hi rehte hain.. Baahar gaye to..
Laksh: (from behind) To main tumhe rang laga dunga?

She turned back and saw laksh.. And he smirked..

Laksh: Ragini..tumne soch bhi kaise liya ki tum mujhse bach jaogi?

He started coming forward to her..

Ragini: (nervous) L..laksh.. H..hum..naha chuke hain..
Laksh: (a bit angrily) kyu naha liya tumne itni jaldi.. Maine to holi kheli hi nahi tumhare saath..
Ragini: Khel to li thi na.. Ab..ab rehne dijiye..please..
Laksh: No.. Holi to main ab khelunga tumhare saath..

He was coming to her and she was backing off..

Ragini: Laksh..please ab nahi..

He was smirking and coming to her.. He raised his hands and she turned back closing her eyes tightly..putting hands on her face.. But nothing happened..laksh slowly came closer to her and said into her ears from behind..

Laksh: Shaadi ke baad ki pehli holi hai.. Manani to padegi na..

She slowly put her hands down and opened her eyes turning her head little.. Then laksh brought his hands infront of her keeping her in between.. And applied colour on her face with his right hand….and on her bare stomach with his left hand from behind.. Her heartbeats got faster and breath got deeper..She softly closed her eyes..he slowly slided his right hand from her face to her neck and then donwards to her blouse and to her curves..and left hand on her belly from right to left.. Ragini got really nervous with this.. She took deep breath and started breathing seductively.. He then turned her and she got pinned straight to the wall…he came closer to her.. And raised his hand to her face and applied colour on her another cheek.. She then opened her eyes and looked at him.. And he was looking at her being mesmerised.. Then he brought his face towards her.. And she closed her eyes again.. He then Rubbed his cheek on on hers slowly.. Her breath got more deeper..he again slided his another cheek on hers..then he looked at her.. And she was still closing her eyes.. He brought his face near hers to kiss her.. She felt his warm breath and got more nervous.. He placed his lips on hers..Just then a voice came.. " Ragini…..?" And she pushed him openeing her eyes.. Laksh got back but didn't left her yet….

Ragini: Laksh..cchh..chhodiye hume..maa bula rahi hain..

She started removing his hands but he held her more tightly…

Laksh: Nahi ragini… Aaj nahi chhodunga.. Bass ek kiss…

She got her eyes bigger and nodded in no..He brought his face near hers.. She got nervous.. Just then she looked at his back..and got her eyes bigger in shock…

Ragini: Maa..

Laksh also got shocked and turned back just then she came out from his hands and rushed towards the door.. Laksh saw that there was nobody and it was just her excuse to escape..Laksh looked at her..

Laksh: (a bit angrily) Ragini…this is not fair yaar…
Ragini: (stopped and turned her head a bit) Everything is fair in love and war.. (She turned to him with a smirk) Aapka love.. Humara war..
Laksh: (coming to her) ragini tumhe to main..
Ragini: (rushing out) Ji maa aa rahe hain..

And she ran out.. Laksh stopped.. Then he thought for a while and chuckled while nodding in no in disbelief.. He moved his fingers in his hair and got out of the room.. He came out smiling.. And was moving down from the stairs..just then his eyes fell on nikita who standing in the centre of the stairs…and found he it strange..

Laksh: (confused) nikita..?

She looked up at him..and smiled..he came down to her..

Laksh: Tum…yaha?
Nikita: uhhhh..bb..sir wo ye files complete kar di hain maine.. (Offered him the files)
Laksh:(shocked…taking the files) tum…tumne 8 logo ki files akele hi complete kar di?
Nikita: (smiling and blushing) yes sir..actually kal aapko ye present karni thi so…
Laksh: (looking at the files) That's really nice.. (He looked up at her) Matlab ye files ko poora karne ke chakkar me tumne holi bhi celebrate nahi ki?
Nikita: No..its ok sir..

He smiled.. She also smiled..

Nikita: Ok sir.. Ab main chalti hu..
Laksh: (smiling) sure..

She was about to turn back just then..

Laksh: Nikita.. (She stopped) Thank you.. (Smiled) and happy holi.. Kuch bhi ho lekin festival celebrate karna chahiye…

He applied a teeka on her forhead… She got amazed..

Nikita: s..same to you sir..

He smiled and went upstairs.. Nikita was still amazed..she smiled.. As she was falling for him.. & Then she went out too…

Precap- RagLak's increasing closeness… <3 Nikita's growing attraction towards laksh… :/ huh…
