Ragini’s POV,
Laksh, when I heard about your engagement with Swara I was broken. I cried, cried, cried and cried but nothing changed. So I decided to throw you way from my heart and move on… not for me, but for my beautiful family. They love me a lot and couldn’t digest my tears. So only for their happiness I thought to move on. But guess what I couldn’t. Every single thing in my room reminds me of you. The once heaven room became hell to me. I was suffocated and depressed more by you and your thoughts. What can I do Laksh? I don’t have strength to see you in any other women’s arms. I couldn’t even imagine that. It’s like burning me alive. You made a happy-all time smiling-crazy Ragini into depressed-sad-crying Ragini. You made me a living corpse. It’s all because of you. No…wait! What have you done? You are not at fault, only me, I am at fault. It’s my mistake, my fault, my stupidness to fall for you. It’s only my fault. Only mine!!
Thinking these I cried vigorously on the night before your engagement day. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my chest. It’s an unbearable pain. I can see only blurred surroundings. I was completely covered by sweat. I tried to call my parents and sister for help, but I couldn’t. My breath was caught on my throat. My body started to become cold. My pain became stronger in each second. On that time, I realized that I am going to die. Unknowingly tears rolled down my cheeks. I looked at the ceiling with hands on my chest and closed my eyes signifying god to take me away soon. But guess what I had saw while closing my eyes, I saw your image where you are smiling looking at me. You know what I did? I smiled immediately. Then I fall down unconsciously.
I could remember till that only. Now I felt like I am lying on some bed and the weird smell i.e. the medicine smell hit my cute nose. I shrink my nose to get away that smell. But it didn’t work. I tried to move my hand to close my nose but then only I realized that someone is holding my hand. That hand is little rough but its hold was so soft and caring. The warmth from that hand, made me to smile inwardly. I slowly tried to look at that person who is holding my hand. But suddenly I heard ‘Ragini’ from that person’s mouth. My body stiffens; my breath stopped; my mind became numb; chill shiver ran through my body making Goosebumps; my cheeks became hot suddenly. These many reactions were in my body because I know that voice which said my name. Even when I was dumped inside a large pit and covered with soil, I could recognize that voice. It’s…It’s …its Laksh’s voice; My Laksh’s voice. Wait a second, my Laksh? No…I don’t have time for this argument. Let it be. First I want to confirm that I wasn’t dreaming. For that I need to open my beautiful eyes. I slowly opened it and my first sight falls on that person’s hand and in particular his fingers. I immediately regretted for opening my eyes. That hand has an engagement ring. My eyes clouded with tears. Engagement Ring!?
Laksh’s POV,
I don’t have much time to rethink about my decision. So I went downstairs and thought to live my life according to my fate. Everyone was smiling and enjoying the function but I couldn’t. Swara came and stood beside me. Her friends were teasing us but it only irritated me. I just wanted to make everyone silent and get them out from the house. But I couldn’t. To add my miseries, pandit said that it’s now auspicious time to exchange rings. Now I have no way to run back. I have to face it. First she was asked to put ring in my finger. She smiled triumphantly at me and took the ring from the velvet box and extended her hand for mine. But I stood there like a statue and just stared at the ring like whiskey (puppy) seeing his chain. I came to reality when my mom lightly patted on my shoulder and eyed me to give my hand to her. Before I could give myself, she forcefully took and put that ring on my finger. Once again I was zoned out by looking at that ring. Then it was my turn. But I didn’t proceed just stood emotionlessly. When I came to reality once again, I found a ring on my hand which was held by Swara with her another hand. It was like she was putting the ring to herself with my hand. But before it happens, from nowhere my PA, Riya rushed towards me. Seeing Riya’s reaction I just released Swara’s hold from my hand and moved towards her. Everyone looked at me disapprovingly but I showed least care about their reactions. I moved closer to Riya and asked her what happened. She in turn took her mobile and played a video and gave it to me. I watched the video patiently like I don’t have anything more important than this. (Note the sarcasm.)
‘A girl around my age or elder who was looking pale with rosy nose and red eyes started saying “Hello Mr. Laksh Maheshwari. I have heard more about you that you are kind hearted and down to earth also you will do help for everyone without any discrimination. I am here not to praise you but to ask one help. Please only you can help us. Actually my sister, Ragini, is your very big fan; she is going to undergo a major operation today but her body is not in good condition to undergo it. Doctor said that her mind is disturbed by something and we should find out. So when I came to know that she is such a big fan of you, I thought to ask your help. Please just speak with her, that’s enough. You should say some motivating words to her. I hope you will help us. Please don’t ignore it as fake news. (She turned and shows a man in doctor’s coat and he started to speak.) Mr. Maheshwari, please believe us, it’s really an important case and we need your help. The patient can survive if you just talk with her, so please help us. (He then shows the camera towards the hospital bed where a girl was lying with pale face. My eyes widen and jaw drops down in shock and surprise.) She is the patient Mr. Maheshwari, Miss. Ragini Gaddodia. She needs you. We hope you will contact us soon. We will be waiting for your reply Mr. Maheshwari. Thank you. (Then the hospital address along with contact no. is shown)”’
I became numb just by looking at her face. She…She…She is my dream girl. The girl who had stolen my sleep and making me stand like a mad man on my engagement day. Her name is Ragini. Wow. Wow. Wow… Finally! Finally I got her. But…But she is admitted in hospital and also going to undergo a surgery. Oh my god! My dream girl needs me. She…She is my fan. No…she might be my fan but first she is my dream girl. I need to go to her. Yes! I decided I am going to reach her and bring her back alive and make her to enter this house as my wife ‘Ragini Laksh Maheshwari’ and make her bahu for my parents and steal her every night for stealing mine and make her mother for my children. I smirked thinking this and suddenly I slapped my forehead because only I can think like this even at this situation. (Note the sarcasm). Ok now I decided to go to her.
Without wasting another second I moved towards my room while ordering Riya to get ready my private plane. Some tried to stop but my one look made them shut! I changed into my favorite blue shirt and navy blue jeans and took my wallet, mobile and watch. I unknowingly put the ring which was supposed to be in Swara’s hand inside my pocket and went outside. I ignored the guests and gave my mom an I-am-going-to-reach-my-love-bless-me-mom look. She got my look and smiled approvingly. I gave my best smile to her as I know she will definitely take care of the guests. I just took my car and reached airport and immediately got inside my jet plane. I ran fingers through my hair to reduce my excitement, anxiousness, nervousness and upset too. All the while journey to hospital, I was just thinking of my dream girl’s face and watched the video for nth time.
When I reached the hospital, everyone looked at me like an alien. I just hate those looks but still I acted like I-am-so-cool and reached near Ragini’s room. There an elderly couple and the girl whom I saw in video with the same doctor were standing outside a room, maybe my dream girl’s room. They saw me while stopping their conversation and gave their full attention to me.
Phew! *a deep sigh* they interrogated me like a thief. Why not? How will you expect them to react when they see an actor who is running out of time, had came just to see their daughter~ I thought to myself and pushed the door where my dream girl is lying. My heart started to beat rapidly, my palms were chilled because of sweat, my breathing became abnormal, my anxious level increased, my lungs took many deep breath, my ear literally heard my heart beat. I have not even seen or touch this girl in real but she already started to have these much effects on my body. She is definitely going to pay for this by getting old along with me. I smiled sheepishly thinking it. I rubbed my nape to control these effects and entered the room.
There laid my girl with eyes closed and body connected to the life supporting machines. My heart ached to see her like this. It’s my first time to meet my love; but my to be special moment of life ends drastically like the painful moment of my…I mean our life. Now it’s not time for regret the fate. It’s time to wake up my girl from her deep sleep. I sat down on a stool near her bed with my eyes never leaving her face. I slowly grabbed her hand in mine and looked at her with please-come-back-soon-love look. I opened my mouth to say what I should have said to make her come back to consciousness but I couldn’t. Words died inside my mouth before even coming out. I slowly kissed her soft fingers and caressed them. Tears clouded on my eyes, I couldn’t help but let it out while placing another kiss. I found how her hand had perfectly fit inside mine. We are definitely made for each other. We are meant to live with each other. It is already decided and that’s why she and I fall in love without even knowing us each other. I won’t let my love die. I gripped her hand with all my care mentioning her that I will be always with her. I couldn’t help but said her name ‘Ragini’. It was more like whisper. At that time I felt her fingers move inside my grip. I immediately looked at her eyes. Her tired eyes slowly opened and its first sight falls on my hand and it widens and tears started to flow from her eyes. I looked confusingly at my hand and noticed that she had seen my engagement ring. Shit!
Ragini’s POV,
My tears fall down without my permission. I looked up to meet those magnetic eyes. It was looking now looking at the place which made my tear dam to open. I was just staring at his eyes. Suddenly he met my eyes. I froze. Chill shivers ran through my nerves. My heart swelled up. His eyes had intense gaze. It was filled with tears also with care, surprise, love. Love!? His gaze only made my cheeks burn. I couldn’t pull out my eyes. I tried to open my mouth and say something but I couldn’t as my words vanish on his intense gaze. I was just lost in them. I couldn’t even remember what all had happened. I couldn’t even see the reality. I could just see my own image in his shining black eyes. I didn’t even blink my eyes because I feared that he will disappear. But I heard someone entering the room which made me to break the eye lock and looked at that source.
My family entered in. They were looking so tired and upset, but looking at my face their eyes brimmed with tears and hugged me. Their love is limitless. I can always feel it. I love my family so much. Though I hugged them with tears I didn’t leave my grip on ‘his’ hand at any cost. In turn I just gripped it stronger as I don’t want to leave him even if he was an imagination. My parents and sister kissed all over my face and said how much they were scared and upset. But I didn’t say anything. I just gave them a assuring smile that I am alright. Yeah, I am feeling alright now. I didn’t feel like a sick person. They explained me about my heart’s weakness and the operation. Though I don’t want to undergo they compelled me and gave emotional warnings. At last I accepted for my family’s happiness. They smiled and went outside. Till now I didn’t see him, just had a sense of his hand on mine. But now I looked towards him. He was smiling…no grinning at me. Oh god! That smile is contagious because I am also grinning like him. He suddenly moved forward and kissed my forehead. His lips remained on my forehead for some minutes making me to forget everything, every worries, pain and hurt. He pulled out giving me a peaceful mind. He then moved towards my ears. His breathe touched my skin and hair. I felt Goosebumps all over my body. He slowly whispered.
‘Come back to me soon. I will be waiting for you. Bye Amica mea! (My love)’
He kissed my cheek and moved backward with a smirk looking at my crimson cheeks then went outside leaving me look at him with big saucer eyes.
Few hours later, the surgery started and ended successfully.
*****Wait! Wait! Wait! It’s completed I mean only one part is remaining for only Raglak scenes. So, how is the part? How many didn’t expect me that I will be posting this soon! Hehehehehehe! My exams are still going, but I am bored so I just posted. I don’t know when will be next update but still I will try to post soon. So tell me how this is.
