“Ragini…Ragini…”laksh uttered in his unconscious state…
That man who hits him flashed…he shooks his head…nurse shouts”doctor”
Doc comes and checks him…”Lakshya…please relax…relax…”he makes him calm…
Laksh goes unconscious again…doctor informs his assistant Prithvi that he needs some rest because of injury…
Prithvi doesn’t know what to do…finally he thought to call Ragini…
There
@ragini’s quarters…
Ragini consoles herself with much difficulty…she hears doorbell…she goes down the stairs and opened the door…noone is there…she checks outside but she couldn’t find anybody…
She gets in and locked the door…doorbell rings again…she sees through the lens on the door…she was not able to see the face but only hands…
She didn’t opened the door…she jumped outside through the glass door on the other side corner of the hall and grabbed the man’s neck with her arms from behind…
“aahh sweety it’s me….leave me na…”Balaji screams…
“Bala…tum am so sorry na sweetheart”Ragini tries to adjust his collars…he jerks…
“areyy…kya…i said sorry na…then what…by the way how you come over here…matlab without giving any prior info…matlab you didn’t tell me that you’re coming…”Ragini panics…
“sweety…i missed you a lot da…these two days were like a hell for me…so I just came up without telling anyone…”Bala hugs her…
“ok ok chill na sweetheart…i understand…but you didn’t inform anyone uh..badepaapa will panic..Wait I will inform badepaapa that you’re here…”Ragini goes inside…
“areyy areyy stop na laadoo…i informed bhaiyya he will take care of everything…and he will be here for weekend…if paapa knows that am here he will start his bhajan’s (scoldings) for disturbing you…”Bala stops her..
“really…bhaiyya is coming here..am so happy…”Ragini jumps in excitement…
“areyy…see you’re jumping hearing bhaai’s name…am nothing to you na…”he makes a pout…
“mere dramebaaz…stop acting…you know na you both are so precious to me…stop your acting or…”Ragini got interrupted..
“or kya..”Bala raises his eyebrows by cringing towards the pillar…
“or I will start my annoying…”Ragini starts tickling him…
“no sweety…not now…”he run inside…
Finally both gave up and sits on the sofa unable to breath…
Ragini phone rings…she sees…
“kaun…”Bala asked her…”some unknown number…”she cuts the call…
Prithvi again dials her number…ragini’s mobile rings again…
“give it to me..”Bala snatched the mobile from her and answered the call..
Before he could speak up…prithvi tells him that”Laksh sir is injured at his forehead and admitted in the hospital…”
By hearing the name Balaji cuts the call…”whom da”Ragini shooks him…
“Ragu…are you hiding something…”Balaji asked in a shocking tone…
“matlab…in what sense you’re asking Bala…”Ragini got confused with his reactions..
“don’t try to act smart…that guy…is he disturbing you again..”Balaji got tensed…
Ragini doesn’t uttered even a single word…
“oh which means he is…”Balaji eyes turned red…
“sweetheart nothing like that…he is my colleague in office…he is an ACP of central zone…we have only official relation nothing more than that…chill na…control your temper na…”Ragini tries to make him calm…
“I hate this god…for not keeping my sister happy…god is not letting you to live in peace…”Bala starts cursing god…
“hey Bala…chill da…do you think that laksh is important than you guys…it’s obviously not…noone can replace you guys in my life…he is some stranger da…that’s it…i have moved on Bala…”Ragini convince him and somehow hides her tears…
Bala asks for an apology and hugged her tight…”am so sorry and am proud of you…”he rubs his tears…
“ok…i will go and bring your favourite chocolate drink…what say..”Ragini winks…
“sounds cool laadoo”Bala grinned…
Ragini tooks her mobile and rushed towards the kitchen because she doesn’t want break down infront of him…
She cries and wipes her tears…she called that unknown number and says”what do you want…is it a game for you…i cleared my side already…you believe it or not I don’t care at all…”she bursted out..
“mam…it’s me Prithvi…I called you to inform you that laksh sir is admitted in the hospital due to head injury…”he tells her everything…
“kya Hua laksh ko..matlab sir is ok na…why he went to that place alone…what’s the need for that..”Ragini stumble but managed by holding the dining table behind…
“we don’t know mam…but caught the culprit who hits Laksh sir…he is still unconscious…can you please come here mam…because it would be so helpful for us..please mam….”Prithvi requested her…
“don’t worry sir…i will be there within 15 minutes”Ragini cuts the call and turned back…
She is shocked to see Balaji behind her…
“Ragu…so u lied…that too to me…to the outside world only you said you have moved on…but still the same Ragini who gave her life for that idiot..”Bala bursts out…
“Bala you’re misunderstanding..it’s official work…i have to meet him because we are officially linked with each other…”Ragini tries to manage…
“oh really…then what about these tears…it’s also an official one uh laadoo…”he lifts her face…
Ragini hugged him and cries her heart out…Bala gets shocked…
“Ragu..are you serious…still you are believing him uh…no Ragu he will leave you again…”Bala tries to make her understand…
She cries even more…
“ok ok…stop crying…i will take you to that hospital…come with me…but one condition…as you said it’s official earlier…your meet should be an official one…if you don’t I won’t take you there and will defend you…deal…”Balaji exclaimed his thoughts…she nods because she have no option left…
“come lets go…”Bala run towards the car and starts driving…
They reached the hospital…Balaji asks Ragini to go and said that he will be Waiting outside…
“but …”Ragini got interrupted…
“Ragu…just go and come fast…i don’t want to see his face…if I come with you then I can’t control myself..I believe you…so you go…”Bala faint a smile…
Ragini nods and goes inside…she saw Prithvi waiting for her in reception…
“mam..sir…”Prithvi exclaimed…
“where is he…”Ragini rushed when Prithvi tells her the way…
She pushed the door harshly and went inside..her eyes turned red and sobs out…
“laksh…why you went there alone laksh…kyun…”Ragini cries by leaning against his chest…her heart was like cracking…the pain she experienced cannot be expressed through words…
“Ragini…”laksh said in his cracky voice…
“laksh…tum teeko na…why did you went there…haan…you idiot…if anything happens then…”Ragini cries holding his face…
“then kya…”laksh in husky tone…
“nothing…”said Ragini and goes towards the door and sighs Prithvi to call doctor…he nods…
Ragini comes back again and sits in the chair near laksh’s bed…
“why did you went there”Ragini uttered again…
“haa…this head injury is better than your questions I think…”laksh makes a pout…
Ragini hits him playfully…
Doctor arrived and checks him…”everything is ok…but he have to take rest for a week…nothing serious…”doc insists…
“no way…i have an important work…i can’t stay here even today…”laksh tries to get up…
Ragini stops him…
“no Ragini…it’s something important…”laksh gets up and walks towards the door…he stumbles but Ragini holds him…they shared an eyelock…
“sir…we caught the culprit and he is under our control now…SI of central zone is investigating…”said Prithvi and walks past them…
“Ragini…i need a help…will you please drop in my office…”laksh makes puppy face…
Ragini nods but after that only she realised about Balaji…
“no..am finished…”Ragini run fastly but laksh gets into the lift and asks her to come fast…
“laksh…wo..”Ragini got interrupted by other patients…
Laksh gives her his card and asks her to scratch it at the reception for payment…
“laksh…laksh…”she screams but he goes towards his car…
“idiot…didn’t listened to me…i don’t what gonna happen…”Ragini scratches her head…
She paid the bills and rushes towards the car…she was shocked…Ragini rubs her eyes and blinks..
Balaji and laksh was laughing…
“areyy Ragini…tu aagayi…and Mr.Maheshwari she is my sister Ragini..district collector of central zone…”Balaji gave ragini’s intro to laksh…
“hii…mam..”laksh forwards his hand…
Ragini glares him…”actually Ragini we met during an conference and become friends thereafter…”Bala winks @laksh which is unknown to Ragini…
@@laksh sees Balaji inside ragini’s car and asked about him by giving his intro…bala gets angry when he heard his name…he is about to hit him…but before that laksh explained everything and says that it was all his mistakes of not believing Ragini…laksh apologies for that@@
“come come lets go…”Bala gets into the car…
“he is also coming uh…”Ragini asks to bala…
“yes yes laadoo…on the way we will drop him…”Bala grinned…
“laadoo…that’s so cute…sweet name Bala…”laksh smiles seeing ragini’s face on the mirror…she glares…
“yes ofcourse it’s sweet name only mahi(shrt form of maheshwari)..ok ok bad joke…”Bala bursts out laughing…
“there are lot more nick names mahi…”Bala winks @Ragini…
“shut up…”Ragini closes his mouth with her palm..

“hey careful…”laksh jerks…
“leave it mahi…listen the list…we will call her laadoo….Shona…sweety…ragumaa…ragz… basanti…rasagulla…gulab jamun…dimple…nd etc etc…”Bala chuckles…
“Balaji…most of the names are sweet names only…but why…”laksh amazes…
“wo…ragu likes sweet and her cheeks are so chubby na…so we will call whatever we wish to…”Bala got interrupted…
“Rasagulla…”laksh grinned…
Ragini turns back and gives him a death glare…
“you too mahi…that is Krish bhaiyya’s birth right…if he is so happy then he used to call her like that…”Bala laughs…
Ragini stamps her foot on bala’s foot…
“aah…if you did like this how I will drive…”Bala makes a pout…
“Rasagulla is my favourite…”laksh again starts the topic…
“just shut up…”Ragini fumes…
“stop here Bala…thanks for dropping and it’s great being with you guys…”laksh shakes hand with Balaji…balaji gets down to help him…
At that moment”bye rasagulla…”laksh whispers in her ears….
“you…”Ragini tries to hit him but he gets down shaking his thumb…
Ragini smiles unknowingly…balaji sighs laksh to take care…
Laksh waves his hand and moves away…
