Part 16
Ragini scares as someone has kept hand on her shoulder. That hand moves Ragini tightly towards him. And, nothing to worry.. it’s Laksh himself. Ragini gets her life back after seeing laksh but he was looking at her in anger.
Laksh: how dare you to go away alone like that? this is other country and behave yourself…
When Laksh was scolding like that, Ragini suddenly hugs him. Laksh amazes. she was shivering and crying. He understands that she was scared.
Laksh: ok ok.. nothing to worry. I’m here na..!
Ragini: why did you take this much time to come out…??
Laksh: you ran away fastly. I came in search of you. Are you scared..?
Ragini breaks the hug. ‘No..! I’m not scared..! I’m a brave girl..!’
She wipes her tears. Laksh smiles. He takes her suitcase also into his hands.
‘let’s go.’ He says. Both walks out.
They reach the hotel. Ragini runs in their big mansion like room allotted and opens all the curtains enjoying the beauty of nature. Laksh was looking at her smiled.
Ragini sits on the bed which was extremely soft and if she sit on it, it was going inside.
Ragini falls on bed and rolls on it as a kid. In that process her T-shirt goes up slightly revealing her waist a little. Laksh sees and then he moves away his head again.
‘why this girl always tries to do such things which make me lose control..? and, if I go near a big war happens..!’
He thinks arranging things here and there.
Now, Ragini is jumping on the bed. She makes a call to her parents with Laksh’s foreign mobile.
‘Mom, this bed is like trampoline. I’m like going to hit sealing’ hehe..
She was acting childish. Laksh never saw this angle of Ragini. She was always a studious girl and serious with her studies. But, today she is totally different.
Laksh was just looking at her and seeing his works, he happened to come near bed with his laptop and then Ragini while jumping accidentally falls on him and laptop slips from his hand.
Now, Ragini is top of Laksh. They have brief eye lock, but Laksh looks for his laptop and shocks to see it was showing vibgyor colors instead of any programs.
‘Gosh..!’ Laksh sighs and goes near Laptop moving her aside. Ragini looks on.
Laksh tries to do something. But, the laptop gives some ‘beeep’ sound. He holds his head.
Laksh: now how..? all presentations are in there. I have to show a project tomorrow in conference.
Ragini: laksh, nothing happened. You need to just take out battery…
Laksh with bit angry: enough Ragini. Enough is enough..!
Ragini looks on.
Laksh: can’t you sit properly. Why do you jump here and there..?
Ragini’s eyes start forming tears,
‘I have ever did such crazy things first time in my life. What I know, it will happen like this?’
Laksh: now, stop that water tap.
Ragini wipes her tears, ‘I’m not crying. Give me that lappy. I know what to do.. I’m computer science student.’
Laksh shows his hand stopping her. she looks on.
Laksh: I got nothing from you till now Ragini. First, you banged my head later broke my heart and now you destroyed my career.
Ragini: why are you saying those past incidents again Laksh..? that matter was finished right. But, this one I know what to do…
Laksh keeps his laptop on the sofa angrily.
Laksh: do whatever you want. However, it’s damaged now..!
He says wears his coat and about to go somewhere.
Ragini: where are you going Laksh..?
But, he goes away silently. Ragini remains calm… she was sad again.
It was evening when they reach the hotel. It has been two hours Laksh went out and he didn’t come yet. Ragini keeps laptop in front of her and removes the battery first.
Later she, places the battery again. She keeps the charging and does some changes in program, it starts working normally.
Ragini: that’s it Laksh. For this only you got angry on me..?
She sits sadly on the couch.
Then the door sound happens. She looks from the glass lens. It is Laksh. He was standing with bunch of red roses, a teddy and a basket full of swiss chocolates. Ragini smiles a little. But, controls her smile.
She opens the door.
‘I’m sorry Ragini..!’ says Laksh.
But, Ragini silently goes aside. He comes inside and closes the door. She sits in balcony chair. Laksh kneel downs before her with those things he brought.
Laksh: I said sorry na Ragini. You know about my anger right..! I didn’t even shout a loud. Just said one word.
Ragini: one word is enough Laksh.
Laksh: I know that. chalo, these things are common for us. Now, excuse me and take these chocolates.
Ragini feels tempted to eat them but controls herself.
‘I want nothing’ she sits with folded hands and looks other side. Laksh smirks and opens wrap of one chocy. That smell keeps tickling Ragini’s tongue. But, she controls herself but she takes a gulp helplessly.
Laksh smiles: ok, I’m going in. it’s getting cold.
He goes inside. But, Ragini still sits in balcony.
Laksh: umm..! she is too stubborn as always. don’t know how her parents tolerated her.
Laksh goes near table and keeps some food ready for their dinner.
The fog starts spreading out. He goes out.
‘Ragini, come inside. You will catch cold’
‘No. I will stay here. I like to stay here.’
Laksh keeps face upset and goes inside. He brings a blanket and keeps it around her.
Ragini: I don’t want anything…
She is about to remove and then she sneezes. Laksh looks around it was too cold.
‘Ragini, now at once come inside. You will get fever.’
Ragini nods her head negative.
‘Stubborn piece..!’ Laksh says and lifts her in his arms.
‘Leave me..!’ Ragini shouts and Laksh takes her in and throws her on bed. She falls on it.
Ragini shouts: Laksh..!
Laksh: what..?
She sneezes again. ‘aahh’ she holds her head.
Laksh checks her temperature placing his palm on her forehead.
Laksh: see, you got fever. I said you to come inside.
Ragini silently bends her head.
Laksh brings a bowl of some food.
Ragini: I don’t want to eat anything..!
Laksh: Ragini….. I said sorry naa… tell me what shall I do still..?
Ragini looks at him. She liked the way he was trying to convince her. she wanted it more.
Ragini: I said I don’t want anything. Leave me alone.
She said but she was scared that Laksh might get angry again or may grow impatient.
As she thought, Laksh got up. Ragini looks other side being scared will he be angry again. But, amazingly… Laksh cups her face and kisses her forehead. She looks at him.
Laksh: Ragini, it really hurts when my love sleeps with hungry. When she is suffering with fever. Show anger on me.. but not on food. If you starve, I hurt so much..! it’s paining here Ragini..!
Ragini in tear rolling eyes: Laksh…
Laksh then dips a fork attached with bread in that creamy substance in bowl and feeds Ragini. Ragini keeps looking at him in tear eyes.
He wipes the cream falling from her mouth with his finger.
Laksh: is it tasty..?
Ragini nods her head.
He makes her eat other piece. Ragini was just looking at him emotionally. To avoid more emotion, Laksh starts telling,
‘You know, this is swiss food. Fondue. This is…’ laksh was telling something and feeding her. but, she was not listening anything just looking at him.
Her vision is becoming blur as she can’t see because of her tears.
Laksh finishes feeding her and he gives her some tablet for fever. She just sleeps on bed and looks at him. He sits near table and about to eat.
Ragini: laksh, come here and sit naa… I want to talk to you…
Laksh nods his head and goes near her. he sits on bed beside her.
Laksh: yaa tell me..!
Laksh says and eats that food. But, Ragini was just looking at him. He looks at her only to see Ragini’s unturned eyes from him.
Laksh: you want more..?
But, she don’t even nod her head.
Laksh was eating it nervously. The cream comes out from edge of his lips. Ragini takes it with finger and she licks that finger.
Laksh looks at her and he takes other bite of the bread dipped in that cream. Again, other drop falls on his lips.
Now, Ragini moves towards him. And places her tongue near his lips and licks that cream. Laksh amazes.
‘My dinner is over.’ He keeps bowl aside.
‘I will sleep on couch’ says Laksh and about to go. Ragini holds his hand.
Ragini: sleep here..!
Laksh: Ragini..?
Ragini blinks her eyes. Laksh smiles. He sleeps on other side far from her. Ragini moves near him hugs him and sleeps.
Laksh: Ragini…
Ragini: good night Laksh..!
She silently hides her face in his shoulder. Laksh smiles and offs the light.
