Being in love again

Chapter 20

In the evening Ragini waited for Arjun in the same place where she got down in the morning. Arjun rushed to her thinking he might get late to pick her up.

"Am I late?" Arjun asked her through the window when he stopped the car in front of her.

"No, you are not." Ragini smiled seeing him scared like a kid.

"So, how was your first-day sis?" He asked.

"It was good and normal," Ragini said as if it was nothing.

"Good and normal? Sis, I don't have any words to say now. You are joining college after a long time. Didnt you feel any excitement?" Ragini just smiled at his question.

"There is a time when I used to feel excited about to go for college and enjoy just like others. But my grandma didn't let me complete my studies and fixed my marriage. It was the first time when I met him. I fell in love with him but he wanted a modern girl and he loved my stepsister. My mother..." Ragini came back to her senses.

"Why did you stop sis?" Arjun asked looking at his mobile which was hung on to the mobile holder facing the windshield and Harsha was still on the call.

"I don't want to remember the past. Sorry, Arjun, I am getting a little headache I'll take a nap." Saying that Ragini closed her eyes.

Arjun looked at her and then at his phone. He took his phone from the holder and saw that Harsha already hung up the call. They reached home. Arjun was about to wake her up but she woke up and went inside.

"I think she doesn't want to remember her past." Arjun sighed and followed her.

"Mumma," Deepak ran to Ragini when he saw her. Ragini forgot everything when she saw his face and took him in her arms. Arjun saw a drastic change in her mood when she saw Deepak's face.

"I need to talk to Harsha bro about this," Arjun said to himself.

"How was your day baby?" Ragini sat on the couch along with Deepak on her lap.

"Good. Yours?" Deepak asked. Ragini pecked his cheeks.

"It's good. Did you do your homework?" Deepak shook his head in no and smiled sheepishly at Ragini.

"Then how about we both complete our homework and play after then?" Deepak nodded. They both went to their room to do their work.

Arjun smiled at them. But soon his smile vanished when they both are out of his sight. Taking out his phone he called Harsha.

"Hello! When will you come home?" Arjun asked as soon as he picked up the call.

"I will be home at the same time. Anything happened after the call?" Harsha asked doing his work.

"Nothing serious but it is about Ragini sis. I think you heard her while we were coming home, right?" Arjun asked.

"Yeah. She was talking about her past and suddenly stopped. What happened after that?" Harsha asked.

" She was so upset but when she saw Deepak it was like she was never upset. Harsha, I think she is emotionally connected with Deepak and only he is the one who could make her happy. We need to know her past to help her to forget her past. Please help sister, bro." Arjun dont know what was Ragini's past but his heart is hurting to see her in pain.

Hearing from Arjun, Harsha understood that Ragini is in so much pain and her medicine is Deepak just like she is Deepak's medicine.

"I think all we can do is wait. she will open up for us. I need to go back to work now, bye." Harsha hung up the call.
