Part 14

Ragini came out with the tea tray and went around the room to give tea to everyone…..but when she gave tea to Ranvir….Ranvir was just looking at her continuously…..they both had a light smile on their face.

Mamiji who all the time had eyes on Ragini….didn't like any of this…..but she was not able to say anything at that point.

Mamaji came home and was surprised to see everyone at home…..he was also very happy…..He looked at Ranvir and said….."achcha kiya beta jo aap bhi aa gaye."

Ranvir smiled and said…." uncle main toh auntyji ko birthday wish karne aaya tha….bas ab nikal hi raha tha…"

Mamaji wanted to ask Ranvir to stay for a while….but before he could say anything….Alekh who was coming down with Sadhna said…." oh ho Ranvir….tum kyu jaa rahe ho…..tum bhi hamare saath mere dost ki mamiji ka birthday manao na…bahut achcha rahega…"

Ranvir was kinda hesitant and feeling awkward staying in their family celeberations…..and even though almost everybody asked him to stay…he just said…."nahi…actually…..i've a very important work….main teher nahi paonga."

Right then Sadhna poked Ragini with her elbow and Ragini looked at Sadhna….Sadhna gestured her with her eyes to ask Ranvir to stay but ragini just went inside…..Sadhna put her hand on her forehead as though saying…oh-god-main-inn-logon-ka-kya-karoo.

Ranvir was explaining Alekh who was upset that he was leaving, when Ranvir got a call on his cell….He looked at the phone and the caller-id said 'Anamika'….he smiled and then looked at others and said…."ek minute…"

Ranvir went to a corner and said…."Hello…"

Ragini said slowly…."agar sab itna insists kar rahe hai toh ruk jaayiye na…."

Ranvir smiled and was happy that Ragini decided to finally ask him to stay…. He was about to say something when Ragini continued…."agar aapka important kaam thoda postpone ho sakta ho toh…"

Ranvir still with a smile on his face, shook his head….said…."aji aap aankhon se ek baar ishara kar deti toh bhi main ruk jaata…per main toh aapko doondhta reh gaya….sonch raha tha ke pata nahi aap….."

When Ranvir went silent…Ragini had a doubt also that Ranvir might have thought the same…and she was right that when she came inside Ranvir had thought that she didn't care abt him….but then Ranvir said….."khair chode….ek baat bataoo aapko….mujhe aapka yeh andaaz bhi bahut achcha laga….aapne hamara yeh rishta bhi tootne nahi diya."

Ragini knew he referred to their Anamika-Anmol relationship….she smiled and hung up the phone….Ranvir also smiled n kept looking at the phone….and right then Sadhna asked Ranvir…"kiska phone tha Ranvirji??"

Ranvir came back to his senses and turned towards them and said…"voh bhabhi….office se phone tha…."

Right then Ragini came out looking at him and slowly came and stood behind her mom....Ranvir looked at her lovingly….and then looked at his phone and said…."mera important kaam postpone ho gaya….aur uska matlab ke main aap logon ke saath kuch deir aur reh sakta hoon."

Alekh was very happy to hear this but Malti and Mamiji were not.

Ranvir was talking to Vineet and Ragini kept staring at him from across the room….but when Ranvir looked at her she turned immediately….this made Ranvir smile….and right then Vineet who was talking to Ranvir asked him…."kya hua Ranvirji…aap kis baat per muskura rahe hai??"

Ranvir felt embarrassed thinking that Vineet might have thought he was smiling in himself without any reason…he made a confused face and said…" nahi Vineetji….aapki baton se bas kuch yaad aa gaya tha….toh aise hi…."

Vineet nodded and continued talking…when Ranvir looked at Ragini…she was smiling wide seeing him in this position.

Malti who was watching Ranvir-Ragini all the time….didnt like this new change of things between them….they were staring at each other…they were smiling at each other….and moreover she was irritated coz Ranvir was not even concentrating on what Vineet was saying.

She went to Ragini and asked loudly….." tu kyu muskura rahi hai..Ragini??"

She was so loud that everyone turned towards Ragini and Ragini felt embarrassed….Ranvir didn't like all this….he looked at Ragini and then even before anybody cud ask anything else….he asked malti…" Malti ji…thoda pani milega??"

Malti knew that Ranvir asked for water deliberately to take off all the attention away from ragini….she made a face and went inside.

Ragini looked at Ranvir and saw that he was looking at her with so much love and concern in his eyes….and then to make things light…he winked at her…..and that made Ragini smile….Ranvir liked that she was smiling again….but moreover he loved the way she smiled so shyly.

Ragini was smiling but everytime Ranvir looked at her….her heart beat went faster and faster….that was some weird kinda feeling for her….she smiled and went inside.

Ranvir was kinda getting too impatient when he saw Ragini go inside coz he wanted to talk to Ragini alone but everyone was around him and it wud look weird if he went inside alone. Then he saw Sadhna talking to Ragini.

Sadhna said Ragini…" jiji…mamiji ko yeh toh pata hai ke hum unki birthday celeberate kar rahe hai per humne jo intezaam kiya hai na….voh dekh kar mamiji surprise ho jaayengi….voh Vineet bhaiyya ne toh cake la liya hai….per iane aur thodi cheezein mamaji ke study mein rakh di hai…aap thoda decorate kar dengi taake mamiji ko pata na chale."

Ragini was excited also and said…."Sadhna…yeh toh bahut achcha idea hai…..tum fikr mat karo….maa ko yaha sambhaalo….main andar intezaam kar loongi."

Ranvir who was listening to all this….smiled in himself and followed Ragini into the study.

Ragini came in the study and was thinking loudly…."hmmm….kaha se shuruaat karoo???"

Right then a voice came from behind…."shuruaat ke liye…..I luv u….bhi kaafi hoga."

Ragini recognized the voice and was afraid to turn around….she felt goose bums on her skin…and felt like she went dumb suddenly.

She turned slowly and when she saw Ranvir standing near the door…leaning towards the door with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face….Ragini felt like her heart skipped a beat….she asked him with a shaky voice…"ji??"

Ranvir didn't say a word for a while…he was just staring at her….and this made ragini become more conscious of herself….she started to twists her duppatta in her hands….coz of which her bangles were making noise…in the silent room.

Ranvir's attention suddenly went to the bangles in her hand….he loved the noise of those….and it seemed like the bangles were talking on behalf of Ragini…..He smiled and started to walk towards her…..Ragini's breathing went fast… when she noticed him walking towards her…she started to take a step back….but Ranvir kept coming more closer.

Ranvir came and stood in front of her….he was so close that Ragini could smell his scent…she looked at him with fearful eyes…..Ranvir cud also feel her breath on his chest…He looked into her eyes….and started to bend towards her a little more.

Ragini closed her eyes shut immediately but didn't move…..and this made Ranvir smile…..he bent close to her and whispered in her ears…."aap ke haathon mein chudiyan bahut achchi lagti hai….pata hai kyu??"

Rangini didn't open her eyes nor said a word….so Ranvir continued…"kyunki….jo aap keh nahi paati….voh aapki chudiya kehna chahti hai."

Ranvir then moved a step back and smiled and slowly said…."agar aap yuhi aankhen band kar mere saamne khadi rahengi toh main bhi aapki help nahi kar paonga…."

Hearing this Ragini slowly opened her eyes and looked at him….and turned and grabbed one of the streamers from the table….she was too embarrassed to look at Ranvir.

Ranvir smiled at her behavior coz now it seemed like she was not even gonna look at him at all…..then he thought…."yeh toh sirf ek break hai….hum thodi baad phir takrayenge….dekhlena."
