Chapter 27
R - who is it?
N - me
R - i am already in bed. Can we talk tomorrow please?
N - we can. But now seems better
R - please go
Nachiket knew she was crying
N - i wont. Open the door or i will break it.
R - you won't
N - yes. I would. Now please open the door.
Ragini opened the door. She had red puffy eyes and she was looking every where but at him
N - what is the matter
R - nothing
N - your crying for nothing
Nachiket shut the door and locked it.
R - you should go now
N - not before we talk. I know how to get you to talk. Come here
Nachiket sat on the bed resting his back on the headboard and he made ragini sit besides him
N - spill the beans
R - i just thought about that day. You had just gotten friendly with that new girl shanaya. But on valentines day when maa had a fracture you left her party to help me with maa.
N - i remember that
R - that day i fell in love with you because of how you cared for maa. I felt like telling you but then you kept dating different kinds of girls
N - that i did
R - i thought i would tell you after you finished your MBBS but then...
N - then what
Nachiket was hugging her now
R - you know of the cramps i get during my period each month. When i went to the doctor he said i couldnt...
Ragini began to sob
N - that i know now. So then
R - then i just didn't feel like confessing my love. I also had this past about my dad
N - so now you are fine right? We have come beyond all that. We are going to marry
R - yes but it still hurts. Every time i think about those years and seeing you with other girls
N - i wish there is something i could do about the past but there is nothing. All i can promise is that our present and future is together. You trust me right?
Ragini nodded in agreement.
N - lets sleep now. We are leaving at 7am
Saying so Nachiket began removing his shoes and got under the covers
R - why are you sleeping here?
N - yesterday you didn't seem to mind.
R - i was drunk
N - i am sleeping here anyways
Nachiket closed his eyes. Ragini smiled and slept on the other end of the bed. After some time she felt Nachiket cuddle her from the back. He kissed her on her neck.
N - i love you. Goodnight!
Ragini smiled and turned around to hug him. They were asleep in no time.
