Part 3
Ragini was talking with her friends next day after the class in canteen,
“Ragini, what happens if your parents find that you are wearing modern dresses like this?”
Ragini laughs, “Why mom dad will know??”
Then Ragini gets a phone call… from Shekar.
“Ragu beta, we are coming to your college. So, be ready at gate.”
Ragini shocks.
“OMG..!! mom dad are coming..!!” she runs taking her bag to rest room side.
Ragini removes her over coat and wears chudiar upon the shirt, which she does always. And she chances her earrings and all other necessary changes. Now, she comes out as a sanskari girl.
Her friends are laughing at her.
Rag:: don’t laugh Idiots..!!
She scolds.
Then a peon comes,
‘Ragini beta, someone has come for you..’
Rag: who?
Peon: Laksh Maheswari it seems.
Ragini shocks, ‘why he has come now??’
Friends:: who is that Ragini??
Ragini:: i said know, I’m going to get married to a sanskari boy… he is that fellow..!!
Friends shout: really???
They all run before Ragini. Ragini runs to reach before them. Her friends stop at a side and watching Laksh secretly. Ragini runs and stops behind Laksh suddenly.
Ragini was panting holding her chest. Laksh turns back seeing a shadow, Ragini acts normal as Laksh has seen.
Laksh bends his head as soon as he saw her. He keeps chuckling. Ragini looks at him in ‘what the…??’ manner.
Again, Laksh looks her.. she bends her head.
Lak:: hai Ragini…
Ragini smiles.
Lak: i said hai..
Ragini smiles nervously, ‘hello’
She sees her friends are peeping to listen their convo.
Rag:: let’s sit there and talk..!!
She points a bench.
Laksh nods his head. They both goes.
They won’t speak for sometime.
‘why don’t he open his mouth?? Mom dad are coming and he came at same time..!!’ Ragini is thinking.
Lak::: ummm, ragini.. i know, i shouldn’t come like this..
Ragini silently looks at him.
Lak:: our parents have fixed our engagement date. So, i just came to know.. whether you like me or not??
“I don’t have choice dude, I promised my parents that I will marry a guy they see..” Ragini wanted to say answer like that…
But she bends her head and twists her duppatta edge, and just nods her head.
Lak:: this means, you don’t like me??
Ragini looks at him suddenly and nods negatively with innocent expression. Laksh was looking at her silently deep into her eyes.
Ragini turns her eyes aside, ‘it’s getting awkward’ she thinks.
She turns other side and finds her parents are coming that way.
‘gaawwwd…!!’ Ragini shocks and holds Laksh’s hand. Laksh shocks.
‘Laksh, come with me soon..!!”
“where??”
“Ohh gosh… come..!!” Ragini pulls him and takes him back behind the tree. Her parents come to that bench.
Shekar: peon said Ragini is here.
Janaki:: yes, call to her phone once.
Ragini’s phone rings. Ragini keeps it in silent.
Lak: why are we hiding??
Rag:: it won’t be good if my parents sees you are with me. We aren’t even engaged…!
Shekar and Janaki are coming at that tree side, Ragini bends more into Laksh and she don’t realize that she has touched him. But as she touched him, Laksh gets goose bumps and he weakly falls on tree being mesmerized. Ragini was still looking at her parents.
They go into the building block, and Ragini takes breath… then she realizes her actual position with Laksh. She was leaning on him.
Ragini suddenly moves back. ‘I’m sorry’
Laksh just smiles.
Rag:: ok, you go. I have to go..!!
Ragini runs and suddenly her duppata is stuck. She turns back.. and finds her duppata is stuck to Laksh’s wrist watch.
Ragini soon goes near him and tries freeing it. Laksh was silently looking at her. Ragini removes it and moves her eyes up to match with his eyes. Sometime, they both have a eye lock.
Ragini then runs away. Laksh keeps looking.
Ragini runs to her parents.
Jan:: Ragu, we shall go to shopping.
Rag: why shopping suddenly??
Jan: why?? Next week your engagement is there. Forgot??
Ragini then realizes that point… ‘ohhh, yeahhh’
*shopping mall*
Ragini is looking bored around. Janaki is putting all the dress on her to see what suits her.
Laksh was looking at her from a side…
‘are you following her?’ Sanskar asks Laksh in phone.
Lak:: yes, I’m near her.
San:: good. All today, your work is to follow her and propose her.
Laksh nods head and cuts the call.
Ragini was seeing all the directions and finds Laksh. Laksh hides behind the hangers of dresses.
‘Did she see me?’ Laksh thinks.
‘why is he following me..?’ Ragini thinks.
*Later Laksh comes to home with his failed mission*
Laksh will fall on bed after going home.
“it’s too tough to say..” he thinks.
‘what is tough??’ he hears a voice.
He turns aside and surprises to look at Ragini laying beside him on his bed. She has kept her hand under her head and looking at him in a smile.
Laksh:: I wanted to say you, ‘I love you’ but…
Ragini:: ok, say now. I came naa..
Laksh smiles:: I love you..
Ragini:: hmm, is this is the way you say???
Laksh:: then??
Ragini closes her eyes, Laksh just looks at her.
Rag:: say it, as the way I never forget…
Ragini says who was closing her eyes… Laksh smiles and moves closer to her. Then, he cups her face. Ragini gets a smile, Laksh too closes his eyes and then he places his lips on her.
Adarsh happens to pass his room and sees Laksh was kissing a pillow hugging it tight. Adarsh laughs, he goes in and beats Laksh on his back.
Laksh shocks and leaves the pillow. He realizes all that was his dream.
Adarsh sits beside him,
“Hmm, are you in hurry to meet her??”
Laksh just nods his head in a smile.
Adarsh makes a phone call to Sanskar,
“Abey sanky.. our youngest brother is missing his Ragini. Tell him advice”
San:: what should I say bhai?? He didn’t even propose her. He came back being afraid of her. Ask him to learn from me. See, how I made Kavitha fall for me…
Kavitha beats him from aside.
Sujatha who just comes there,
“Sanskar, if you are talking with Laksh or Adarsh just stop it right now..!!”
Sanskar silently cuts the call.
Suj:: they are going to make Laksh’s engagement itseems. You will get married to kavitha on the same day of his marriage. Your marriage should be grand than him..!!
Sujatha goes away.
Adarsh says to Laksh, “when our both families will become one?? It’s not good to see chote papa and our papa becoming foes.”
Laksh too sighs.
{what is their dispute I will say in coming story. Assume both families are in different houses}
*Engagement day*
Ragini is getting ready. (same as serial scene in which Janaki makes Ragini ready. Now, it’s not her imagination)
Ragini is looking at her mother happily. Janaki keeps her head on Ragini’s head,
“My doll is the princess…!!”
Ragini smiles infinitely and she gets up, she takes blessings from Janaki and later hugs her emotionally. Ragini thinks in herself,
‘Maa, even though you are not my real mother.. you are showing love more than the real mom. You are my best mom” Ragini says in herself.
Swara was just looking everything around silently. Daadi was taunting herself,
‘Today is one girl’s engagement. I’m not understanding who is Janu and Shomi’s daughter. If this is my ladoo’s engagement I would have did so much entertainment. What do to..??”
Daadi looks at swara who is playing with mobile. ‘I think she is Shomi’s daughter.. I can see her features’
Daadi thinks.
Just then, Laksh and his family arrives.
With all the rituals the engagement is completed successfully. Sanskar sees all function in live video kept by Adarsh secretly without knowing to Sujatha.
Ragini goes into her room with the reason of changing the dress. She stands before the mirror.
She looks at her engagement ring.
She sings in her own music,
“You are a pizza.. and he is a pani puri.
You are the swiss chocolate.. he is the local made 1 pasie chocolate.
You are the guitar.. he is a sitar.
You are the strawberry.. he is the mango.
You are the biryani.. he is the daal rice..!!
How Ragini how..?? Match makes how..??
You listen to pop music,
He listens to classic music.
You are traditionally acting modern girl.
He is the complete sanskari man..!
How Ragini how,.? Match makes how.??”
Ragini sings in upset.
Sanskar was forcing Laksh in phone to propose Ragini. Laksh goes in search of her. He sees Ragini is coming and he hides behind a door. Ragini was going and no one are there, Laksh holds her hand and he is about to pull her inside.
Ragini is not sure who has held her hand, when she feels pull on her hand, she only pulls that person out with all her force.
Laksh comes out in a shock, Ragini too looks at him surprised.
“Aapp..??” Ragini questions.
Laksh stammers while speaking.. ‘vo.. me, actually…’
As Ragini observes someone is coming, she pushes Laksh into room beside and she too comes in. She was leaning to Laksh looking out. Her face is close to him, but she was looking out.
Laksh feels as to kiss her and puts his lips together in a pout (in a kissing position). He closes his eyes.
Ragini then looks at Laksh with weird expression, she asks.. “What??”
Laksh then opens his eyes,
“Nothing Ragini. Really nothing??”
Ragini laughs a little, ‘do you want to kiss me?’
Laksh shakes his head negatively in shock.
Ragini looks at him in ‘pity’ expression.
Rag:: okok, don’t be scared.. go..
She says, Laksh silently goes away from there. Ragini laughs looking at him.
To bE coNtinUed…
Astra.
