Chapter 10
Laksh's pov::
I was wandering in the campus. I hadn't seen ragini for the past two days. I couldn't concentrate on anything without her.
It's ironic how I could never concentrate her and now I can't concentrate on anything but her.
Then I saw her. She was standing on the gate talking to someone. I moved forward. Who was he?
I didn't like him,then he sat in the car and left.
Ragini turned and looked at me. I was seeing her after two days but it felt like long time ago. she looked beautiful. Gosh how I wished I don't have to see anything else!
Laksh- " kaisi ho ragini? Aaj aa hi gayi tum. Waise ye kaun tha tumhara driver? "
Ragini-" nahi laksh wo koi nahi hai aaj papa dadi ko mana lenge aur hame usse phir kabhi nahi dekha padega "
Laksh- " kya? Ye wo ladka hai? "
Ragini-" ha ye wahi hai"
I was surprised. Kaha ragini aur kaha ye
Laksh- " ragini tumhe to pta hai na mere achhe marks aaye hai"
Ragini-" ha laksh aur hum bohot khush bhi hai"
Laksh- " nahi nahi sirf khush hone se kaam nahi chalega "
Ragini-" to phir?"
Laksh-" tum coffee peene chalogi mere saath? "
Ragini-" nahi laksh hum aapke saath kaise jaa sakte hai?"
Laksh- " very simple pairo se"
Ragini-" hamara wo matlab nahi tha laksh agar kisi ne hame saath dekh liya to?"
Laksh-" to kya ragini? "
Ragini-" log galat samjhenge laksh"
Laksh-" ragini do dost saath me coffee pee lenge to isme kya baat hai"
Ragini-" nahi laksh... "
Laksh- " ragini dekho aisa sunhera mauka dobara nahi milega. Mr. Maheshwari tumse request kar rahe hai( folding his palms together)
Ragini started giggling.
Laksh-" to mai haan samjhu"
Ragini-" thik hai lekin zyada der nahi"
We sat in my car and left.
In ragini's house
Shekhar was waiting for the right opportunity to talk to his mother. After breakfast she bids goodbye to her husband who was going to meet an old friend.
Dadi- " sambhal kar rehiyo ji aur jaldi aa Jana"
Dada-" ke parvati maara purana dost hai mai jaldi na aunga"
Dadi-" achha thik hai apna khyaal rakhyo"
Dada leaves the house.
Shekhar-" maa"
Dadi- " ab thaare ko ke pareshaan hai?"
Shekhar-" mujhe aapse kuch baat karni thi ragini ke baare me"
She stopped moving for a second and turned around
Dadi- " ke baat karni hai laado ke baare me?"
Shekhar-" iss shaadi ke baare me ragini kya sochti hai maa?"
Dadi-" beta laado to bohot khush hai aaj to subah Ravi usse college wo drap karne bhi gaya tha"
Shekhar-" aap ka matlab drop"
Dadi- " haan wahi'
Shekhar-" to ragini iss shaadi se khush hai?"
Dadi-" haan wo to.."
Shekhar gets up angrily
Shekhar-" aur kitna jhoot bolengi aap maa? Ragini bilkul bhi khush nahi hai usne kal khud mujhe btaya hai"
Dadi-" shekhar ye sach na hai"
Shekhar-" maa ye hi sach hai isliye aap ye rishta tod dengi"
Dadi- " laado to naadan hai par hum to samajhdar hai itna achha rixhta dobara na milega"
Shekhar-" kuch bhi ho maa mai ragini ki marzi ke khilaaf kuch nahi karunga"
Dadi- " par shekhar... "
Shekhar-" bas maa mujhe aur behas nahi karni aap ye rishta khatm kar dijiye. Ragini meri beti hai aur uske liye faisla karne ka mujhe poora haq hai"
Dadi seems hurt hearing this.
Dadi-" thik hai beta maara ke haq hai thaari beti pe"
She leaves the place.
In the coffee shop
Ragini's pov::
Laksh- " pta hai ragini ye yaha ka best coffee shop hai"
I was hardly listening to him. I had never gone out with a guy. What if papa sees me like this? Or dadaji?
Laksh-" kya hua ragini achha nahi laga tumhe?"
Ragini-" nahi bohot achha hai"
Waiter comes to take order.
Laksh- " one mocha please "
Waiter-" what would you like to have mam?"
I was looking out. He words brought me back.
Ragini-" huh I want..I want one cappuccino plz"
The waiter left the place.
Laksh was looking at me
Ragini-" kya hua?"
Laksh- " tum itni dari hui kyu ho?"
Ragini-" wo bas.."
Laksh- " koi hame dekh na le"
Our seat was near the window which had beautiful green curtains. He got up and drew the curtains.
" bas ab problem solved ab to koi nahi dekhega na"
After few minutes he said
" ragini mai tumhare liye kuch laaya tha"
Ragini-" laksh hum gifts nahi lete"
Laksh- " ragini koi expensive gift nahi hai. Just close your eyes and stretch your arm"
I was scared but I obeyed him.
After few seconds I felt his hand on my wrist.
Laksh- " ab open your eyes and see this"
Ragini-" ye kya hai?"
Laksh- " friendship band hai. Hand made to you can accept it kyunki isme paise nahi mera time gaya hai"
I looked at the band. It was so nice with our initials RL on it. I got so emotional
Ragini-" par ye kyu Laksh? "
Laksh- " kyunki tum meri sabse achhi dost ho ragini "
We kept looking at each other until the waiter arrived.
Waiter-" sir your coffee mam your coffee "
We both looked down and he left.
Suddenly someone called laksh.
" oye laksh"
We both looked at them. They were coming towards us.
