Madness in Love

Part 1

Another winter started..

In the cold chilly night of December she stood in her backyard in warm black PJs, a pink turtle neck sweater and a shawl wrapped around her..

A bonfire was there in the backyard.. It was providing some heat...

Closing her eyes she takes in a deep breath.. the smell of cold weather hit her nostrils..

A smile spread on her face.. She loves winters..

*Beep beep*

She looked at her mobile.. A message pops up.. She took her mobile from the chair next to the bonfire.

The message read...

I'm sorry Ragini.. I cannot come tonight.. my brother is ill..

Its okay.. No worries.. take care.. She typed the message and sent it..

🥰🥰😘😘

Two emojis popped in her message box..

A chuckle left her lips at the childishness of her friend.

She kept the phone down and sat on the chair which also started to get cold.. She looked at the bonfire.. it was almost out..

She sighs.. just my luck...

I'll stay for ten more minutes.. She thought to herself and relaxes on the chair..

She rubs her hands against her sweater from under the shawl to obtain some heat from it but it was useless against the almost freezing night...

But still she feels peaceful here..

She looks at the bonfire attentively as the flames were slowly getting dim until a voice disturbs her..

"Ragini.."

She looked in the direction the voice..

"What are you doing here outside? Its getting cold. You'll get sick.. Come inside.."

"Masi just 5 minutes.. Please.." Ragini  pleads..

"Only five minutes" She replied sternly..

"Thank you" Ragini replied..

She marched back inside while Ragini continued looking at the bonfire for another five minutes then goes inside..

"Ragini.. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Her masi called out from back.. She turned..

"Yeah sure.."

"Ragini.. Wo.. Mom wanted to invite your grandmother and father for your birthday this year.."

Ragini remained calm.. "why"

"Ragini.. Few days back they contacted mom to know if you are here"

Ragini arched up an eyebrow at that..

Not receiving any answer her masi continued..

"They miss you a lot Ragini.. They want to meet you.. I know you are angry but they deserve to know where there daughter is.."

"I'm not their daughter masi.. Please don't relate me to some strangers and ne need to give my info to them.." She tried sounding calm but there was a tint of pain and anger in her voice.

Her masi felt bad for her.. She tried so hard to reduce her pain but her wounds are deeper than what she shows..

"Ragini.."

"Masi.." There was a silent pause between them for a second..

"I don't want to talk about it..." Ragini says and left to her room.
