Part 2
Lakshya's P.O.V
I saw her laughing and smiling with her friends. Whenever I see her I wish the time to stop there only. I can live my whole life within that time span. She is my first love, my lost love. Who I found after years. I can't lose her again. OK, I have decided to invite Ragini on my birthday party. I can't risk to lose any chance to spend time with her. I went to her and gave her anear to ear smile. She avoided and went away. "Ragini!" I called and she turned. Her face was having an emotion of shock. Perhaps she was wondering how I know her name. I ignored it. "Its my birthday," I said with a broad smile. She didn't say anything, remained silent for sometime and said "happy birthday". But before I could reply her, she turn to go. So I held her left arm to stop her. She turned back, looked at me, then her arm, then again at my face and raise her right arm. I felt it on my cheek, the next moment.
Ragini's P.O.V
I slapped him. How dare he touch me? I mean.. I don't even know his name, but how does he knows mine? As if I care! I was fuming in anger and went to class. Lecture was going on but I was only thinking of that. No one can hold my hand except... Wait! He is coming in. He didn't stop even after the professor's warning. He came straight to me. His eyes are red, is it because of the slap? Was he crying for me? "Ragini! How stupid can you think?" My alter ego hit my on head side. Why will he cry for me? Then is he angry? He handed me a piece of paper. "Read it." He said in a stern voice. I looked away showing as I don't care. "I said, read it!" He was little louder this time. I opened it in a jerk. My heart beat fast as no one has ever shouted at me like this. I started reading it. I couldn't believe, it was written by me. Wonder when? Well, 10 years ago! After reading the letter, I looked at him. His eyes were now in a hope. "Lakshya!" Was the only name/word that escaped from my mouth.
Sanskaar's P.O.V
I landed on Bhubaneswar station at sharp 11 in the morning. But here I have to wait for 3 more hours as the train to Balangir is late. I decided to shop something for Maa, lucky and myself. I put an alarm for 2 and a half hour in case, I get late and went to big bazaar. I was picking some shoes for myself when I saw her. I saw her in front of me, after so many years. She is still so beautiful! I wanted to pick her in arms, I wanted to kiss her. Would her lips taste as delicious as before? "Sanskaar, behave yourself!" My heart was saying to go and hug her tightly, but my mind stopped me. I can't forget her sins, can't forget what she did to me. I can't understand the reason behind her that sudden behaviour change. When did she become so mean? But what is she doing here? Why do I care? You forced me to hate you Swara, but I wish I could! I stood up and went to pay the bill.
Swara's P.O.V
As my train was delayed, I bought some nice tops for Ragini, a beautiful shawl for Maa and some earring sets for me. Thank god I reached the station on time. I had to take the passenger train, as for reservation we need to do it two days before. It completely skipped off my mind. I boarded the train with my airbag on my one hand and shopping bags on the other. All sits were full so I had to travel standing supporting my waist one of the border of the sits. When the train brakes suddenly, I often used to fall on the man standing in front of me, whose intentions I didn't find very good. Damn! I again fell and closed my eyes. This time, my head was resting on his chest. But wait! Why is the fragrance so familiar all of a sudden? Why do I feel it as the same place where once I wanted to live forever and die happily? I opened my eyes and looked at him. I found Sanskaar standing. I wanted to leave the bags and wrap my arms around him, but I stopped myself. I can't forget his tortures, his wrong deed. His new shade, destroyed everything. Destroyed me! But why is he helping me? You know what? I really don't care!
