Part 1
"We were schoolmates, he was a year senior and my first crush! I believe, he too liked me. Or he was just teasing me coz he knew I crush on him or what, I really don't know. But it was just impossible for me to live without seeing him for 1 day. I remember every moment spent with him. Every day in the school bus, he asked me to give him my bag so that he could keep it on the berth, but I always refused. But one day I myself offered him to keep my bag up. He was surprised. "kya baat hai, aaj khud I dedi... koi nayi wajah??", he asked in his flirting tone. Trying to hide nervousness I said," kuch nahi... bas aise hi..." "haan haan, apne boyfriend ko nahi dogi toh aur kisko dogi???", he said this and winked in mischief.
Lakshya Maheshwari! The hottest guy of the college, who always show attitude towards girls, said himself my boy friend?? "Ragini, teri to nikal padi..!", I said to myself. Days passed and I didn't realize when my crush for Lakshya turned to love. But damn! I couldn't express my feelings to him. I knew he like me but like and love are 2 different things.
Destiny really plays an important role in our lives.
It's our 3rd marriage anniversary. Yes, of mine, and Lakshya. School hotty Laksh was the one whom I loved from the bottom of my heart, and my hubby Laksh is the one whom I hate from the bottom of my heart. Yes. I hate him. I hate him to core!
I belong to a middle class family but that doesn't mean I am a thing to be purchased or sold! But... I was! Who sold me??? My hero, my DAD! And guess who purchased me??? My husband, Mr. Lakshya! It was a deal for them, but marrying at 17, was not a play for me! I was not asked, I was not even informed! I was just force. But... if Laksh really wanted to marry me, was this deal necessary? Couldn't he wait till I turn 18? No! I was just a part of his bloody business!!
I hate u Mr. Lakshya Maheshwari, I hate u forever!"
She had just said it in her mind sitting in front of the dressing table when she got a knock on the door. She looked aside. He was Kaka.
Kaka: bahurani, mehemaan aana suru ho gaye hain.
Ragini: kaka aap challliye hum aate hain.
He leaves. She gets up and goes towards the wash room.
Inside the washroom
The shower is open and water is falling on him. Certain thoughts are running in his mind.
"She was a year junior and everything to me. It was just impossible for me to digest my food without having one glimpse of her every day. She had a crush on me, I believe as everyone said, but I, I was madly, deeply in love with her. Love at first sight you know! I always tried to draw her attention and I always succeeded to some extent. I remember every pulse of second spent with her. Once I was going upstairs and suddenly bumped to her. She widened her eyes in such a way, seemed like she was given an electric shock! I raised my eyebrows in a "what?" She got her senses back and wanted to go down ignoring me but I hold her wrist. She moved her hand trying to be free but my hold was damn strong. I turned and pulled her holding her waist. I came closer. We were so close that I could hear heart beat clearly. I came closer but controlled my emotions. I knew she like me but it doesn't mean that I would cross my limits. I freed her and let her go. She moved, turned, smiled at leaved!
Ragini Garodia! The diva of college, with whom every guy of the school wanted to go to a date with, smiled at me?? "Lakshya, You are the best!!" I said to myself. Days passed and my love for Ragini grew stronger. At last it was the time to leave school. It was my last chance to propose her. But damn! I am a real "Fattu" in case of love! I tried many times but was unable to express my feelings.
3 years. Even after 3 years of marriage, I failed every time. School diva Ragini was the one, who loved me the most in the universe, but my wife Ragini is the one who hate me the most in the universe! I tried to win her heart many times. But in vain! Perhaps her hatred is more strong then my love!
But I couldn't blame her for all this. Marry so early was like a shock to her. She thinks I spoil her life, but she doesn't know, I have saved her life from being spoiled! No doubt, I married her by giving money to her father, but she was not a deal! I can't tell her the reason because I don't want to be thankful to her. There was no time to wait till she turn 18, it all happened very fast! But, Ragini, she is my life. Not a part of my bloody business!
I love u Mrs Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari, I love u forever!"
He had a knock on the door. He turned off the shower and came out. He saw his beautiful wife struggling with her blouse laces. He tried but couldn't control. He went and started tying it. She left it by his touch and looked through the mirror. He was all wet in a towel showing his six packs with made him look hotter. She was lost in him but got her senses back when a water droplet from his hair fell on her shoulder. She felt like current flowing all over her body. Laksh was finished. She thought he would leave after that but no. he sided her hair and had just pecked on her neck when she pushed him and went away.
Laksh: kab tak Ragini? Kab ta chalega aisa? Pichle 3 saal se tadap raha hun, tumhare muhu se ek word sunne ko. Tumhare chehre se ek smile dekhne ko. Pata nahi yeh sab kab khatam hoga...
He rubbed his tears and opened the cupboard.
Downstairs
Ragini came down and greet everybody. After some time she heard people speaking:
"suna hai saadi k 3 saal baad b in dono k beech miya biwi jaisa kuch nahi hai, ek chat k niche toh rehte hain, par ajnabiyon ki tarah..."
WTH! Y these people just can't shut up? Why r they interested in other peoples' lives so much? No! They need to be taught a lesson.
She heard again.
"acha? Toh phir yeh party kis khushi me hai?"
"hume kya? Bade log, badi baatein. Dekho na, biwi kab se aa gayi aur pati, a baa raha hai."
Ragini looked up. Laksh was coming down looking damn sexy in his packs fitting sherwani! He came down.
"Lakshya, kab milwaoge apni wife se?", asked a business associate.
Laksh: ah... actually... i...
Suddenly he felt something around his arms. He looked aside. She was Ragini.
Ragini: hello! I m Ragini, Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari. Laksh ki wife!
Laksh was in a state of mixed emotion. He couldn't believe his ears she said it for the first tym in these 3 years, she touched him, hold him for the first time today. Laksh just kept starring at her.
Ragini: (pulling his cheek with love): why r u starring at me like this sweet heart? What happened?
Laksh: ah... nothing...
The party is over. Ragini did all this just to shut the mouth of those people who talks rubbish, (she knows somehow it's the truth), but she really hope Laksh doesn't take it in other way. Raginiansh moves to bed room.
Laksh: Ragini... thanx! Aaj tumne jo b kiya...
She goes away.
Laksh: Ragini...
He follows her and holds her hand. She moves it trying to be free. Laksh notices and leaves her.
She was going.
Laksh: kyun nahi pakad sakta main tumhara haath?
She stops. Turns to him.
Laksh: bolo Ragini, kyun nahi pakad sakta main tumhara haath?
Ragini: kyun nahi Laksh? Ofcourse aap mera haath pakad sakte ho. Aapka pura haq hai mujhpar. After all, apne kharida hai apne mujhe, aap chahe mera haath pakdo, mujhe hug karo, kiss karo ya mujhe use karo, aur chaho toh phir se kisi aur ko bech do, I don't mind, in fact, I can't mind. Because I m nothing, but your bloody business deal!!!!
It's a short update but tried my best. Hope u all like it. I am busy in studies so... ready for all chappals n tomatoes!!!!
To be continued...
Love,
Shirisha😃
