Chapter 25:
Ragini arranged her stuff in her bag as a big smile captured her lips, “ So going?” Tina asked walking towards her with a playful smile while Ragini nodded. Ragini took her bag up and started to walk out.
“ Hey Wait…” Tina moved towards her as she caught up with Ragini.
“ I like you…will you like coming with me on my Vespa…kind of Lift…” Tina said walking by Ragini’s side.
Ragini looked towards her confused , “ Actually…” Ragini was abruptly cut by Tina.
“ I know , I know you expect that from SM but still , he won’t be that sweet so come with me…” Tina said as she winked ,Ragini laughed , “ I thought you were some serious personality…” She said still laughing.
“ Thoughts never really come true…you even thought SM to be something else…” Tina said raising her eyebrows while Ragini smiled.
“ I didn’t thought , I am sure he is something else, atleast not what he shows to the world…” Tina couldn’t help but smile, the girl wondered if this is truly ‘Love’.

“ By the way , needed to tell you something or this guilt would kill me up…” Said Tina as she and Ragini were sitting on her Vespa now , She driving it.
“ What?” Ragini was confused.
“ There’s no Publisher , the one who came in morning and you had a fight with was Sanskar Sir…” Tina said taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes waiting for Ragini’s reaction.
“ Whatttttttttttt..” Ragini screamed as due to her scream and Tina herself closing eyes she lost balance and banged into a car from back.
The Vespa fell down taking the girls, Thankfully it didn’t fell on both of them as they were pushed away to some extent.
“ Ouch…” Ragini said as she looked at her arm, her Full sleeved Top’s arm tore out from middle giving a lot of bruises directly on her right arm.
“ Ragini…I am sorry , I am mad…what I did..sorry…” Tina who herself had been injured was continuously saying.
Ragini suddenly held her stomach and , “ No…No Prob…blem Tina…I..am fi…ne…Wh…wh…at…were you…tell…ing me…abo…out SM…Is It True..” Ragini spoke up stopping mid way in words as she felt a sudden pain rise in her stomach, like some past injury has been functional again.
“ Yes , leave that Ragini…See you are so badly injured…” Tina said trying to stand up , till now a whole crowd had gathered around the girls and one man picked up the vespa.
Ragini held her head , “ Not again…” She thought as she again felt a sensation in her head…
“ Why this is continuously happening?” Ragini thought to herself as her headache suddenly stopped.

Not having a good day at work today , SM decided to leave early in hope of spending some peace time with himself , with his Swara ,he applied the brakes as he saw a huge crowd gather around a spot on the road.
“What must have happened?” He thought to himself as he walked out of the car and stood up with the crowd , he couldn’t manage to see anything other than a car’s damaged back and a Pink Vespa.
“ This is Tina’s…” He thought to himself as he rushed inside from within the crowd , he was worried for his employee…moreover a friend as he considered Tina to be.
As he reached inside through the crowd , the view he saw shocked him , Ragini and Tina were sitting on the road with some injuries visible on their arms.
“ Tina…Ragini…You both…” He literally screamed as he sat next to Ragini and got hold of her injured arm.
“ Ouch…” Ragini said slowly as she looked towards the one holding her arm, Sanskar’s concentration was on her injury and so he failed to notice her looking at him while she looked towards him, his hair bruised with her eyes once or twice giving her some surreal vibes…tear drops accumulated in her eyes as she remised how she confessed her love for SM to the publisher…she was visibly in tears.
“ You know them?” A person out of the crowd asked while Tina who saw them both lost answered.
“ Yes , he’s our Boss..”
“ You are mad…what were you both doing? How badly you have got injuries…” SM asked looking towards Tina and Ragini side by side, his eyes mostly falling on Ragini.
“ I am sorry Sir…it’s my fault..infact his car also got damaged because of me…” Tina said sadly.
“ No Problem…you both go to hospital first..” The car driver said.
“ Yes Sir , Ragini is very badly injured…I suppose she even has got internal injuries…can you please take her to Hospital??” Tina asked as SM looked at her shocked, however hard he tried to run away from this girl , the world seemed to force him with her.
He composed himself , “ Ok , but you also have injuries…you also come..”
“ No Sir , My Vespa has got some dents , need to get it repaired and I don’t have major injuries…you please take Ragini…”Tina said as she thought something.
“ But…”
“ No Sir…you please take her…see she is not even speaking anything, I wonder if she has got some injuries in head…” Tina said dramatically while SM’s attention suddenly shifted to Ragini who was staring at him from the time he has held her arm. He left her arm in an instant.
“ Ragini…what happened?” He asked keeping a hand on her shoulder drifting her out of her thoughts.
“ Is it paining? Lets go to hospital…” He asked as he saw her teary eyes.
“ Ragini…” He spoke again while she answered.
“ Yes Sir , I am Fine…its paining for sure but not on the injuries…Thanks for the lift..” Ragini stood up and straight went to the car.
Tina and SM were left looking at Ragini going and sitting in SM’s car, “My fault..I shouldn’t have told her the truth…” Tina thought realizing the reason for such a reaction by Ragini.
“ Tina…call me if there’s any problem…” SM said as he left for his car.

Ragini and SM were sitting in his car now, SM started the car, “ The hospital’s a bit away from here…” SM said as Ragini nodded , she didn’t reply.
She remembered the publisher’s words , his actions, her confession to him and all that seemed to make her feel very uneasy, as she realized she couldn’t take living in the real world any more she decided to go into her dreamworld…the world of Sanskar and his Swara…She opened her bag and took out the bunny and book from it , something hit her brain suddenly, she revolved the bunny up and down to see any injuries.
“ Huh…I thought you must have got injured…” Ragini said to the bunny as she held it in her hand caressing it.
SM looked towards her and her actions, a small smile climbed up his lips as he saw her.
“ You are yourself in pain and still thinking about it…just like my Swar…” SM stopped his thoughts from drifting away.
“ No , No , No one can be like my Swara…no one…” He said to himself as he again started concentrating on the road.
Ragini opened the book from the page she was reading it on:
“ I’ll run away from here haan…..” Swara said angrily glaring at me , I even feel that she is the first and last one to love SM so much and I want only her to be the one.
“ I won’t let you…” I said with a smile , I don’t know how I got the courage to say this to her but I did , just one night and a day and I felt like I do have the right to stop her…at least this much.
She smiled as she ended up with her washing, then she came up to me, “ Why you hate SM so much?” She asked sitting next to me.
“ Because I hate losers..” I said as I remembered how my hard written books were tagged as flop by media.
“Now I got it , why you don’t get job , man you are such a negative person, just 2 flop books that too tagged by Media and you are saying that SM is a loser , You know I wonder what if SM also thinks like that about himself , will you let someone else’s opinion define you…thats just so wrong…you know we should never allow ourselves to be defined by someone else’s opinion of our…” Swara explained me while I kept looking at her, her hair fluttered under the fan’s air , saying all that to me , I felt like she was some angel descended down on earth directly from the heaven…For me.
“ Swara what will you wear at night…see you are still in your wedding dress…” I said changing the topic , she was surely not buying it.
“ I am talking something else…tell me , will you call SM a loser again?” She asked angrily as she stood up from her seat and came mighty near me , now she just stood next to me while I was sitting.
“ Swara your dress?”I didn’t wanted to talk on that topic anymore.
“ SM…” She just said as she folded her arms around her chest.
“ Ok…I’ll not call him loser if his next book is remarked atleast normal if not hit…but he’ll be loser if his next book is a flop…” I raised my hand for a deal.
“ Ok Done…but I wonder if he’ll write after such failures…I wish I could tell him what I Told you…” She said shaking hand with me while my eyes widened.
“ God’s with you Swara…” I thought smiling.
“ Hmmm…He’ll surely write…I can promise that to you…” I said while she looked at me with widened eyes this time.
“ How?” She raised her eyebrows.
“ Secret…will reveal after his third book releases…Now tell me about clothes…” I said angrily pulling her down to sit , by mistake she lost balance and fell on me.
She was on me now, her hands clutching my shirt and her eyes looking deep into mine, I kept looking at her , her hair were still fluttering in the air…
“ I am sorry…and thats not fare…and about clothes , lets go shopping…” She said it all in a go standing up from my chest looking here and there, she was embarrassed…why I wasn’t?
“ Now..” It was 8:00 in the evening.
“ Yaa…so what , I heard Mumbai’s always working…I even want to eat the special dish here…Pav Bhaji…” She said with a tincture of innocence and mischievousness mixed in her eyes…I smiled looking at this Swara.
“ Ok done…lets go…” I said as I got up , I am all hers now.
“ Ok…do you have money?” She suddenly asked squinting her eyes and biting her lower lip while I laughed at her innocent question…
“ Rich Spoilt Brat..” I raised my eyebrows while she nodded her face in a ‘no’ with ‘you can never improve’ Look.
We walked out as I locked the house.
We descended down the stairs as I suddenly remised something , “ You’ll go out in this?” I asked biting my tongue.
She laughed , “ Mad Innocent Girl…” She continued laughing while I too laughed at her words , truly Mad Innocent Girl she is.
We walked out of the building and boarded an auto. I told the location to the driver and he started the ignition.
I looked towards Swara as she looked out of the auto the lightening of Mumbai…she was surely dazed by it , her twinkling eyes revealed it.
