Chapter 9

"Abhimanyu? Abhimanyu, what happened? Abhimanyu? Abhimanyu, where are you going!? Abhimanyu!" Mansi shouted, as she watched Laksh get off the mandap and walk forward.

As they felt a shadow fall over them, Ragini and Nikhil looked up. Seeing Laksh, they stood up in shock.

"Something big is gonna happen now. Where's Mishka?" Sanskar questioned Swara.

"She's sleeping inside."

"Good. Go to her and make sure she doesn't come out. I don't want to stress the child."

"Are you sure you don't want any help here?"

"Nah! Everything's covered up. Go on."

"Alright."

Sanskar watched as his wife left the place and turned back to look at the scene in front of him. It looked like Laksh and Nikhil were in a deadly face-off.

Ragini had the same feelings. She looked from Laksh's face to Nikhil as they kept looking at each other in the eyes.

While Laksh glared at him, Nikhil looked on with a face of horror.

"Leave her Hand." Laksh bit out.

Nikhil gulped on hearing the deadly tone Laksh was using. He could hear spooky music play in the background. 'For goodness sake! What's up with the music!? Someone turn it off! Th-oh wait. It's just inside my head.' Nikhil smiled nervously at Laksh. "Hey buddy, a beautiful day, isnt it? A day to rejoice, a day to celebrate, a day to marry!" At once Nikhil knew it was a bad choice of words as Laksh's face grew more red.

"I said. Leave. Ragini's. Hand."

"S-sure, sure!" Nikhil tried to let go. However, Ragini grabbed it before he could extricate his fingers from her.

"Why should he? We're about to get married. We love each other Abhimanyu ji." Ragini taunted. "Why should he leave my hand?"

Laksh felt hurt that she refused to acknowledge him as Laksh even after he told her the truth. However, he had more important matters to worry about. "Just because."

"Because what?"

"Because I said so Ragini!"

"And why should we listen to you Abhimanyu Khanna ji!?"

Nikhil could practically see the red veins popping on the side of Laksh's forehead and smoke coming out of his ears. 'He looks like the top of his head is about to blow. Ahahaha...that would be epic!' he snickered to himself.
