Dejected..??

"What..??" Laksh's eyes widened in shock.

"Yes., I like you Mr.Lakshya Maheshwari and I love you.." Ragini confessed infront of her family while he went frozen on his spot.

"Ragini.. What are you saying..??" Janaki questioned but laksh stayed at his spot zoning out.

"What do you mean..?? Which means you love laksh..??" Her uncle rolled his eyes when she nodded her head.

"I did not expected this from you Ragu., don't you think that you have misused the freedom that we gave to you..?? I never thought that you would be falling in love with your best friend., it's totally disgusting." He yelled when he could not digest the fact that his laado had took advantage of the space that they have given to her.

"Mamaji., it's not like cheating you.. I was genuine and he was too but i don't even know when i have fallen for him., all i know now is that i could not live my life without him. He is the one who can make me happy and he is the one who could handle me in all the worst situations and he has been there with me already in that exhausted state. All i can say is my life will be void if he is not there with me not only to take care of me but to console me when i am devasted and to shower me with the love for which i have longed since these many years.." her eyes turned moist immediately when she imagined her grown up life without the taste of fatherly affection.

"So ., you are saying that we showed you the fake affection..?? Our love isn't true infront of your eyes..??" Her uncle asked frowning.

"Bhaiyya.. Stop.. Let's leave this matter here itself.." Janaki said sternly before turning to face laksh.

"Laksh.." Janaki's voice brought him back from his daze.

"Voh.. Aun-ty..!!" Laksh stammered framing sentence., he tried catching the words but failed miserably.

"Her phone.." he simply stuffed the phone in Janaki's hand and went away without looking at ragini.

"Laksh..!!" Ragini whispered weeping the floor when he doesn't bothered to even look at her.

"Ragini.. Go to your room.." Janaki ordered strictly giving her the best glares which ragini had never seen.

She ran away to her room feeling dejected and locked herself from inside.

"I can't help out from expressing my feelings for you laksh., when neil stared me shamelessly i just wanted the ground beside to swallow me., i felt disgusted when he roamed his eyes at me dirtily.. That time i wished you to come and protect me from his evil stares and to take me away.. This is not friendship laksh., something more than that.. I am a dumbhead., i took more time to realise my feelings for you. It's better later than never. I could not imagine my life without you Laksh., you mean a world to me.. I want you by my side forever and ever laksh., i wanted to intake my last breath in your arms and to leave this world in your embrace. All i wanted is you., only you.." Ragini cried her heart out pouring all her emotions which she have withheld these many years.

"It's you Mr.LuckyFellow.."

"Yes., I like you Mr.Lakshya Maheshwari and I love you.."

Laksh was lost in her thoughts and her words kept ringing on his mind.

I love you..

I love you..
