Part 21
"Mama, why did you call?" asked Ragini as she looked through the pages in front of her
"Beta, I haven't spoken to you in so long" her mother replied sounding a bit sad
"Mama, I am fine just a little busy now... Everything alright there?" she questioned
"Yeah... Your papa has gone out for a walk" she paused before she added, "Beta, me, your papa & the Rajvansh's were thinking that it was about time that you and Ranvir went to Honeymoon"
"WHAT?" screamed Ragini as she got up from the chair... she was still unsure if she heard it right.
"Honeymoon, Beta" replied her mom
"But, mama its only been two weeks since our marriage, and me and Ranvir are extremely busy" she replied hurriedly
"Ragini, but we booked the tickets" her mom replied
"WHEN?" screamed Ragini
"Tomorrow"
"What? Mama, why did you book the tickets so early?"
"Ragini, what's wrong? Why don't you want to go to your honeymoon?"
"Its nothing like that Mama... its just now is a very bad time... please cancel the tickets, Mama"
"I will speak to the Rajvanshs and then we will decide... okay... Bye"
"No, mama cancel them now!"
But, it was too late as Kaushalya Sharma had already hung up...
Ragini just heard the dial tone for a while...

Ranvir turned the key, and pushed upon the door. Then, he switched on the lights, with Ragini following him closely.
"Not bad" he said as he put the key on the stool beside
"Hey! That's exactly the same place where I drop the key" replied Ragini
"You have a nice view" replied Ranvir walking up to the balcony
Her living room had a huge balcony attached, so the entire view of the city could be seen from there.
She entered the kitchen, and opened the fridge "Tea, Coffee or Juice" she asked
"Hmmm... Juice" he replied standing in the balcony
"Good choice as it is I am running out of tea..." she answered
"How many books do you have?" he questioned
She noticed he was back in the living room going through her bookshelf..
"About a 100 only"
"And, you plan on taking all of them?"
"Yes, you have a problem?"
"Haven't you read all of this? I can buy you more books you know?"
"No, thanks... I want to read them again"
He raised his eyebrow; then he started playing with this clock... It had a pendulum, a few ropes, and when one set the alarm at a specific time the bird would come out and yell out "Cuckooo". Apparently Ranvir found it fascinating as he kept playing with it forcing the bird out every minute.
"Ranvir, stop it! It will get spoiled" she replied pulling out her clothes from the closet in the bedroom
"Hey! You know I had one of these in my childhood" he replied
She didn't bother to reply, and kept throwing all her clothes in the bag laid out on the bed.
Then, she heard Ranvir enter. He went up to the bag, and picked up a top "Your going to wear this?" he asked with his eyebrows raised
"Yeah... why you have a problem?"
"Ofcourse you won't wear this outside... will you?"
"Ranvir, I don't wear a tank top outside... I am just taking it since after a few days I won't be able to fit in any of this, so I might as well wear all of them now... Besides, do you think I will wear it in front of you?"
"I don't see a problem with that" he replied with a teasing tone
She just rolled her eyes, and continued to pull out her clothes...
Ranvir walked out of the room leaving her alone... Once, she was done filling the bag she remembered Ranvir, and wondered why he was so silent...
"Ranvir" she called out as she walked out of the room
She noticed him in front of her with his back to her...
"What are you doing?" she questioned as she went near him...
He had found all her photos, and was going through them...
"Ranvir, bad boy" she yelled closing the photo album
He opened it again, and replied, "I saw all of them"
"So what? I am not letting you see them"
"Why?"
"Because I hate my pictures"
"Hey! I LIKE them...You look really CUTE... Now, let me see them"
"No" she replied holding the album in her hands
He moved closer to her dangerously, and said, "Don't make me do this, Ragini"
"Do what?" she asked daringly
He moved closer to her, and she realized she had no where to go...
He pinned her to the wall, and bent closer to the point she could smell his cologne, and feel his breath on her face.
"What are you doing?" she asked holding her breath
But, he didn't answer. All she could think of was... this is it... this is it...
They were going to kiss...
She closed her eyes, and then opened them when she heard him laughing...
Disappointment was clearly written on her face... he was just testing her.
Damn! And, here she was dying for it...
God! Ragini you are a fool
, she thoughtShe walked away only to realize she did not have the album, and she noticed he had tricked her...
"I hate you, Ranvir" she yelled as she entered the kitchen
"Tell me something I don't know" he replied chuckling
