Shoulder To Lean Upon

19. Game Plan

"Karthik, I did what you told me to do." someone said to Karthik who was sitting on the couch.

"Good but be careful. They are very smart, they might smell you." Karthik said

"I will take care." the person said.

"Wait and watch Ragini. I have made full-fledged plan this time. You will be locked from all sides and nobody can save you, not even Laksh." Karthik said smirking evilly.

"Ragini, please tell us the truth, only then we can solve the problem." Sanskar said worried.

"What do you want me to tell?" Ragini asked tensed.

"Don't act, we want to know your past." Laksh asked angrily

"There is nothing like past... Laksh... I...." Ragini said looking down.

"Please Ragini! For god sake tell us the truth. Please!" Sanskar said folding his hands together.

Ragini was leaving the room to avoid them but Laksh held her hand and dragged her to him forcefully.

"We are asking you something." Laksh said angrily.

"I won't tell you." Ragini said.

"But why?" he asked helpless still holding her arms.

"Because I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" she said with red eyes looking straight into his eyes.

With this he loosened his grip and looked at her with a painful eyes. She jerked his hands and moved from there to prevent herself from creating a blunder. It hurted him somewhere. Her words pained his heart.

'I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.' was not the words he wanted to listen, especially from Ragini.

"Relax Laksh. We will ask her slowly. She will definitely tell us but she is afraid, that's it." Sanskar said.

Laksh nodded hiding his tears and went from there.

'I must try to get some information from Shona.' Sanskar thought.

"Ha ha ha... Swara you are so funny." Sahil said laughing.

"What funny? You yourself asked me which actor I like, so I told Chota Bheem. Why are you laughing like a mad man?" Swara asked confused.

"Do you think you are a kid?" Sahil asked.

"Noooo" she said.

"Then why do you watch cartoon, only kids watch it." Sahil said.

"But there is no rule that only kids should watch cartoon." she countered.

"Ok ok, it is tough to win over an argument with you." Sahil sighed.

"What argument? We were just talking." Swara said

"Swara, shall we go out somewhere?" Sahil asked hopefully.

"We are already outside Sahil, don't you know?" Swara said.

"Oh my God! Save me from this little girl." Sahil said looking up.

"Which little girl are you talking about?" Swara asked looking around.

"Swara, you are irritating me with your so-called innocence." Sahil said angrily.

"I just asked you my doubt." Swara said meekly.

"Stupid doubt." he muttered.

"What stupid? You are only stupid." Swara said quickly.

"What the f.... are you coming with me or not?" Sahil asked angrily.
