A wedding hall..


On the stage the groom is sitting. He is Laksh. 

Opposite to him, the bride is there. 


In between groom and the bride there is a curtain. Laksh has not yet seen the bride. In their tradition, they are not supposed to see bride before marriage. 

Laksh was excited to see the bride behind the curtain. 


Slowly the curtain in between them is removed. Laksh looks at the bride and he gets shocked for a while. 


The bride is non other than Ragini. 

She was looking at Laksh in enormous smile. She is elegant.. beautiful..!! But, Laksh was still shocked. Not just shocked but, soon his palms start sweating. 


"Boy, tie the mangal sutr in bride's neck..!!" the pandit says, then only Laksh comes into world. He looks all around.. the people were cheerful and smiling. He takes the mangal sutr and ties around Ragini's neck.


Ragini was bending her head and her face is filled in shyness. But, Laksh was in shock.. 

then, he goes into flash back.. 


FLASH BACK 


Laksh was roaming in forest after missing the way. 

"Damn..!! I have missed the route..!!" Laksh was frustrating. 

He was going around.. 

Then he hears a smooth voice. Laksh goes a little forward and finds a girl, who is standing in water. Her legs are in water up to her knee. Laksh was mesmerized seeing her creamy legs.. Then he proceeds his eyes up and looks at her round milky face which has so many shines. 

(She was looking same as Ragini) 

Laksh was looking at her without even blinking his eyes. She was wearing a saree which is up till her knees. Her waist and shoulders are bare. 

Her long hair was waving down till her waist.. 


Laksh moves his face aside, "what am I doing?? This is not correct..!!" he thinks and about to move on.. 

But, the girl shouts... 

"Hey boy, who are you??? I have never seen you in our village..!!" 


Laksh turns back.. 

"Yeah, actually.. I came here on tour. and, I have missed the way.. If you could help me through way..." 

Laksh was asking.. 

"If I could help..? will you marry me???" she asks and laughs. Laksh scratches his head and turns his head aside. 


"Follow me..!!" that girl says and keeps going. Laksh silently follows her. 


Laksh was silent. That girl asks, 

'what's your name??" 

"Laksh..!" he says. 

The girl keeps smiling. 

"am I beautiful?" she asks. 

Laksh startles.. 'what?" 

girl:: you were looking at me naa.. 

Laksh smiles:: sorry for that.. what's your name..?? 

girl:: Rashmi..!! 


That girl stops after walking some distance. 

"there you go..!! we have reached..!!" she says. Laksh looks at the road and takes breath. 

"Finally..!!" he says and turns to girl to say thanks. 


But.. 


she was not there. 

"Rashmi ji?" Laksh calls.. 

Then an old man who is sitting on the rock beside the road opens his eyes. 


old man:: what did you say boy?? 

Laksh looks at him, "the girl who came with me. Rashmi." 

Old man laughs, "she is not true..!! she was dead long back..!!" 

Laksh shocks with his answer but he ignores him. 

Old man comes near Laksh. 

"No one has seen Rashmi from many years.. but, she came in front of you means.." he was saying.. 

"Look dada..!! Don't make me a fool. I'm already disturbed.. don't disturb me..!!" Laksh says. That old man looks at Laksh fumed and he scares. He grabs Laksh's collar and starts taking him with him. 

"Dada, what are you doing?? leave me??" Laksh insists. 

He takes Laksh to a old house. In that house a man and woman are there. They are looking at at them confused. That old man points to a photo on the wall. Laksh looks at it and shocks. 

She was looking same as the girl he met earlier. 

"Rashmi devi, who died 150 years back..!!" old man says.. 

Laksh keeps looking shocked and screen freezes on his face. 


FLASH BACK END


Laksh was standing in the room, the room was decorated in flowers. Laksh was holding his hands and looking out of window. 

He remembers Rashmi.. and then his bride Ragini. Both were looking one and same. 

The room door opens and Laksh takes a gulp. He scares to turn his eyes back. Ragini keeps the glass of milk on side table. 

Laksh clutches the window rods and his forehead starts sweating. 


Suddenly, Ragini comes and hugs him from back. 


Laksh shouts, "ahh" and pushes Ragini's hands away. 


Ragini is hell shocked and remains stuck standing. 

Laksh was fell on floor already and looking at her scared. 

"Please Rashmi, leave me..!!" Laksh shouts. 


Ragini looks at him shocked and worried, 

"who is Rashmi?" 


Laksh opens his eyes and looks at Ragini silently..
