Candidly Confessed

"Anu aunty won't be happy hearing your suspension., will she..??" Ragini asked wriggling her eyebrows.

"That's none of your business., i know how to handle my mom.." Laksh replied coldly.

"Laksh., are you angry on me..??"

"No .. i am not.." he turned away diverting himself into his phone notifications.

"Then why are you behaving coldly towards me..?? Did i do anything wrong..??" Ragini asked directly when she felt that he is ignoring since they reached nikhil's house.

"Don't get confuse yourself ragu., i am normal only.." Laksh says scrolling up on his newsfeed.

"I think he is hiding his anger and ignoring me since i am the one who is responsible for his suspension.. I am sorry laksh., it's all happened because of me.." ragini thinks and a lone tear escaped from her eye which she immediately wiped when the talkative duo arrived with the plates of pakode and some refreshments.

Laksh took a glass of juice and while sipping it he carefully scanned ragini's face who engaged herself deeply engrossing with some thought and he knew it's about him only.

"I am sorry laado., something is disturbing me and i wanted to stay distant from you.. i don't know why i feel insecure about you., i don't know why i have made the problem more critical by raising hands on neil., all i know is he deserves that., he deserved to be thrashed away for touching you., i wanted to burn him alive the minute he tried to misbehave with you.. Is it because the incident happened to you..?? Would i behave the same way when someone was in your place..?? Yes i will surely do that but what about the insecurities i felt that moment when i saw neil with you..?? Are you only my best friend or beyond that..?? Is this friendship or what..??" Laksh crushed his poor brain by his serious confusions.

He could not differentiate the way that the things are turning around.

"Hey laksh., the glass is done.. Stop sipping the empty glass.." nikhil giggled.

Laksh looked at the glass which is empty by now and he turned to see ragini who is already staring him intensely. For a moment., he felt an spark in her eyes and he wanted the world to froze at this point only.

He felt it so right that time he realised the fact that he started feeling for her and the feeling is not an normal care towards his best friend and his laado baby., he felt ecstatic and the sensations aroused told him that he have started falling in love with her., with his very own best friend., with his laado baby.

Their brief eyelock got broken when ragini's phone rang suddenly.

She searched her bag and took out her phone only to get shocked seeing the caller id.

"Attend the call.." laksh said when he saw her gawking at her mobile.

"It's.. it's anu aunty laksh.." ragini said stuttering.

"What..? Maa..??" Laksh widened his eyes and the next moment he stopped her from taking the call.

"Don't answer.. please.." Laksh requested her cutely.

"Why..?? What if there may be some emergency laksh..?? Wait i will speak to her.." ragini was about to attend but the call dropped before she could do so.

"Thank god.." laksh says but soon the ring came once again startling him.

"No ragini.. please don't take the call.." laksh nods in no but ragini without listening him clicked on the answer button.
