Chapter 6
Next day, Ragini woke up early and she gets some flashes, but they were blurred. She has a terrible headache, but then compose herself and goes to get some fresh air. Dadi saw her and came to her
Dadi- Laado why are you here, come and have your breakfast. And why you reach home late yesterday? Why you didn't inform me?
Ragini angry- Please Dadi, stop interfering in my life! I reach late yesterday because I don't want to come here, but I have nowhere to go, so that's why I came here. I didn't inform you because I want to live my life the way I want. I think I grew up now, I know why it right and not.
Dadi- I was tensed Laado, you know how much I love you
Ragini- Please Dadi stop with your emotional talk, if you ever love me like you pretend, you will have let me live my life. Don't take me wrong Dadi, but see my life, I don't know my past, I just remember my childhood moment. I remember the way you care for me, you love me like a mother, how much I missed my mom and dad love. I just remember that I don't remember about my relation with my so called husband. Why I turn negative? I love my so called husband this much that I go against my owns? How can you let me does this cheap thing? And you pretend to love me? This is not loving Dadi
Ragini goes out because she was suffering from this headache, and she cannot see her Dadi crying like this. She just wants to remember her past, and she goes immediately to the temple.
Dadi- I know Laado, I'm your culprit. I just want your happiness, but I think I have gone too much, that I destroy your happiness. I'm sorry my Laado, I'm really sorry.

AT MANDIR
Ragini toward god- God, why I cannot remember my past? Dad told me everything, what I did and all, but I don't repent it because I don't know what exactly happened. You and I just know what happened, but I cannot remember! Please help me, God. What if I know my past will I be able to face me? Why will I be able to settle down? I don't know, but being in ignorance it's not better than knowing the truth.
Ragini finishes her prayer and was about to go, but find Rani beside her, praying. She doesn't want to disturb her so she turns to go, but she stops her.
Rani- Good morning Ragini right?
Ragini- Yes how are you, aunty?
Ragini don't know why but she feels something whenever she is near this woman.
Ragini ( in mind)- Maybe I got this feeling because she is like my mama.
Rani- Yes I'm fine and what about you? At this time, you are at the temple?
Ragini- Yes, in fact, I suffer from a terrible headache, that's why I came here to have some peace of mind
Rani- Oh I hope you will be fine, would mind coming to my house, I will give you some medicine.
Ragini- No aunty it's ok, I have to go to the office.
Rani- You work? I mean don't take me wrong, but you are still young, I thought you were studying
Ragini- No
Rani- Something is bothering you?
Ragini smile sadly- Too long Aunty, and I don't want to bother you with my life
Rani keeps a hand on her cheek- Don't worry, you will never bothering me. If you want to share something you can, I will listen to you, I will not judge you because I'm no one to judge you, just God have this power.
Ragini have some tears in her eyes, but don't let them fall- Thank you
Rani- You can cry you know it's will help you
Ragini- It's ok, aunty I have to go, I have an angry boss and plus today is my first day.
Rani- God bless you and good luck
Ragini smile at her and goes toward M fashions building. She enters and comes to her cabin, but then she thinks
Ragini- Wait Ragini, he didn't tell you where you have to go? Where is your cabin, your assignment etc... and you sign oh shit girl you are gone
She goes toward the receptionist and asks her where is here cabin. A voice behind here speak. The receptionist froze a bit and Ragini just turns around, not surprising at all.
Voice- I will tell you, follow me
Ragini sarcastically- At your service Sir
Kartik smirk- Don't be so sarcastic Ms. Gagodia, you didn't start to work for me
Ragini- Don't worry for me SIR
Kartik- Who told you, I'm worrying for you
Ragini- Whatever
Ragini follow Kartik till a cabin and they enter.
Kartik- There is your cabin or I must say your hell
Ragini look around, it was a big one, but then something seems to bother her
Kartik- What happened MS Gagodia?
Ragini- Why I'm next to your cabin? and why they are no separation, apart the mirror glass?
Kartik- You are my PA, so you have to be with me 24h/24 7/7
Ragini eyes got bigger- WHAT? 24h/24 and 7/7? this is not work but slavering
Kartik smirk evilly- Think whatever you want, I don't care! You sign the contract, so that's mean you agreed on each and every term on it. Not my fault if you have not read it before signing. Now I can welcome you officially on hell, you will beg me to fire you! Now you will see what you get when you raised your voice against Kartik Malhotra!
Ragini calm- Don't worry I will not beg you, and I know my responsibility. Don't think I'm selfless, you cannot make me afraid of you.
Ragini don't know where she gets the guts to reply him, but she gets so much courage and doesn't want them to fly away.
Kartik just smiles evilly at her- Be ready Ms. Gagodia
Ragini- I'm ready, I will accept your challenge, you will see
Kartik- Will see Ms. Gagodia
Ragini installs her and then Kartik call her
Kartik- Ms. Gagodia comes to my cabin now
Ragini takes a notebook and a pen and goes toward his cabin
Kartik- You are late 3s
Ragini- Just three second it's not a big deal
Kartik- I don't like when someone is not punctual
Ragini- I'm not late, you are overreacting now SIR
Kartik- Don't test my patience
Ragini- SIR why you waste your time and mine too, go straight
Kartik smirk at her and think- So much gut for replying me hai na Ms. Gagodia? Now see what I will do to you
Kartik- Take theses files, they are our company deal, I want you to read them, read all the clauses and then correct the mistake. I want them all by tonight
Ragini- They are almost 50 files? How can I read them and make the adjustment by tonight?
Kartik- this is your first task and you have already given up? So sad ( faking a sad tone)
Ragini- I never tell that I'm giving up, I will make them correct by tonight.
Kartik- And what if you cannot?
Ragini- Then I will accept whatever you said, only if you stay in your limit
Kartik- Don't worry! You can go now
Ragini goes back to her cabin and starts working on the files. She was on her fifth files and start to feel hungry.
Ragini- Oh God I'm hungry, but if I go and eat I will never finish at time. See I just finish the 5th file and I still have 49 files to adjust. Oh god, I will drink water and continue my work.
By that time, Kartik comes to his cabin with his meal. He was eating and enjoying, Ragini was furious to see that. She keeps herself engross in her work, but she start to feel dizzy, but take her water and drink it. Kartik watches all this through the mirror glass. He was happy to see her like this. Ragini makes a call and after some time, someone gives her a sandwich. She eats and fell relax now, she continues her work.
Now it was 4 p.m and she didn't take a break, she was working on the 35th files, and Kartik calls her.
Kartik- Ms. Gagodia comes to my cabin
Ragini goes to Kartik cabin and enter- He was busy in his call, which anger Ragini, but she keeps quiet and calm. He takes almost 1 hours talking,g with his client and she was desperate because now it's 5 p.m and she doesn't finish her work. Finally, Kartik finished his call and look at Ragini
Kartik- What you can go
Ragini angry but calm- SIR you call me here and told me to come, and then I was sitting here for past one hour, and you tell me to go? I know you did all this to make me fail, how cheap you are.
Kartik looks at Ragini, anger visible in his eyes. Ragini gulp down her saliva in her throat seeing his anger- What? You didn't take the note when I was speaking on the phone?
Ragini look at him confuse- Note? you were talking what note I should take?
Kartik- Oh God, this was an official call, you have to take some note, to make a contract with the client clause, and our company too.
Ragini- I didn't know I'm sorry
Kartik- Sorry sorry! you people just know to say sorry, go to your work
Ragini- I said na I didn't know, you should tell me! I'm new I don't know how you function, If I knew I would take the note, don't overreact, I will call the client and talk with him.
Kartik- GET OUT NOW
Ragini just leaves without uttering a work. She goes back to her cabin and continues her unfinished work. Now she was alone in office with Kartik, she looks at the clock and saw 7.30 p.m
Ragini- Thank God this is the last files, I have to read.
She then looks at Kartik who was busy him too. She begins to read but the light go off, and she was afraid. She takes her phone to have some light, and look toward Kartik cabin, but he was not here.
Ragini- Oh God, this arrogant SIR let me alone, what I will do, I'm afraid of the dark, please God do something.
Someone come near to Ragini, and Ragini was about to flash him with her phone, but due to misfortune, her phone switch off. She was afraid and step back
Ragini- Dekho however you are please don't anything to me
Ragini shut her eyes off, and the person speak
Person- Ms. Gagodia you are afraid of dark?
The person is none other Kartik. He laught at her
Ragini- No... no, I don't get afraid of the dark
Kartik- Why you pray to your God?
Ragini- It's a habit that's it.
Kartik- I have called the electrician, he will come and will repair it. Don't worry
Kartik, himself don't know why but he cares for Ragini.
Ragini- Ok
Kartik- BTW, do you finish to read all the files and made the adjustment?
Ragini- Just one file is left
Kartik- Means you don't finish, so you have to agree with whatever I said
Ragini- You said till tonight, you never said which time, so I have still time
Kartik gets a call and picks up- Yes
Caller- I'm sorry no electrician is available for tonight
Kartik- What rubbish? So no one can come and repair it? How will I work?
Caller- It's night Mr. Malhotra, no one will come. Some people have life and family
Kartik- What nonsense, I too have a family, but I work for them, so you better call someone or else I will make sure tomorrow you will be on road
Caller- I will come
Kartik- That's better
Kartik cut the call, and Ragini stares at him, even if it was dark she gets used to the dark now.
Ragini- Why are you so hot-tempered?
Kartik- I'm like that, do you have a problem
Ragini- No, why will I do a problem!
Kartik- and you why you alway answer me back? I hate this
Ragini- Because I'm like that do you have a problem?
Kartik and Ragini stare at each other and then start to laught.
After some time, light go on and Ragini start to work again, Kartik goes back to his cabin and continue his work too.
After some time, Ragini comes to his cabin with all the files and give them to him. She looks tired and Kartik saw this.
Ragini- SIR, this is all the files with all the adjustment. I will go now
Kartik just nods and said to her to come early tomorrow.
Ragini- Ok
Ragini was about to go, but her shawl got stuck on the file, which makes all the file falling down.
Ragini stunned- Oh no, all my work in vain, now it will take time to make all the paper back to his right file.
Kartik- I will help you, next time see what you did.
Ragini- You cannot stay a second without reproach me something hai na?
Kartik- No because I like when we do something right, and you did the half. Now I'm helping so be happy I'm not screaming at you, now pick all the paper and give it to me.
Ragini bring all the paper and read them, then tell Kartik with which file he has to keep it. Ragini was about to bring a paper when Kartik too want to take the paper, which makes them touch each other hand. Ragini feels something even Kartik but then put off the thought aside.
Ragini was yawning and Kartik was amused to see her like this.
They finished and then she goes. She starts to walk because at this time no rickshaw or cab was available. A car stop next to her, but she don't bother, but then a familiar voice call her.
Voice- Ragini
Ragini turn around and found Laksh.
Ragini- Laksh?
Laksh- What are you doing at this time outside?
Ragini- None of your business
Laksh- Oh please, I'm not doing this because you were my wife, but by humanity. You cannot walk alone at this hour alone
Ragini- Please let me alone, main jeeon or mar jate hain, you don't have to bother anymore. And yes now you are a stranger for me, not because we are not married but because I don't remember you, so be away from me.
With that, she starts to walk, but Laksh held her arm. She turns around, but Laksh let her arms, and Ragini hear some slap sound.
Laksh just held his cheek, and Ragini was stunned.
Ragini- SIR? Aap?
Laksh smile at her- Oh you are quicker than I think, you have already trapped a man? Congrats Ragini, how cheap you are, first me then him. How much he paid you?
Ragini feel all her blood going away. Laksh call her prostitute? In fact, he doesn't call her but with his word, it's like that. She was crying now and Kartik saw that
Kartik- My your tongue Mr whatever, I don't like when someone disrespect my employee! Come Ms. Gagodia I will drop you at your house
Ragini- No it's ok I will walk
Laksh- See Ragini he is dropping you, don't be shy, it's not like you never be intimate with anyone!
This was a slap for Ragini, does that mean that she was not a girl anymore?
Ragini look at Laksh- What you said?
Kartik being angry- No need to listen to him, I will settle his scores when I will get time
Ragini angry- What you said? Mr. Laksh Maheswari?
Laksh- What we were married remember? What did you think whatever you did, I will forgive you? No Ragini
Ragini tries to remember something, but she get no glimpse, she was feeling dizzy, and faint.
