My wife, Raglak

Part 5

Hi all,

Here you go.

*******

Ragini was working in the kitchen; Laksh comes and hugs her from behind. She smiles.

Rag: So what is your plan?

Lak: Plan…hm…. I was thinking of doing my pg.

Rag: PG?

Lak: Yeah, I too wanna be a lecturer.

Rag: lecturer?? but when did it,

Lak: Yesterday, till then it was only game for me, but now,

Rag: But why this?

Lak: (tightening his grip on her) Because I wanna spend more time with you.

Rag: What?

Lak: I am choosing your subject alone, for the next two years I will be your student, and then we can be colleagues.

Rag: (turning towards him) Are you mad or what?

Lak: Well, to be with a mad, you too have to be mad na.

Rag: Huh?

He laughs. She fumes.

Rag: I... I won’t talk to you today.

Lak: Just today, please make it lifelong. Please, please...

She fumes more and continued cooking cursing him. He smiled and watched her.

After ten minutes:

Rag: I am angry with you, why aren’t you pampering me??

He laughs hearing this.

Lak: Oh God, no one will believe that you are a lecturer. Are you like this with your students too? You are a real bacha!!

She fumes more.

Lak: And why should I pamper you, you said you won’t be talking to me tonight, what is the big deal in it; I am not going to die tomorrow.

She kept her palm on his mouth and looked at him with moist eyes.

Rag: (emotionally) Once I have gone through this, the fear of losing you, at that time I didn’t have any option, still it hurt me a lot, I was not able to calm my mind even after knowing it was inevitable, but now… Now when you gave me hope that you would be there with me always, I just can’t even afford to hear something like this, I know you are joking, but sorry I am not that strong, please…

She started to cry taking off her hand and he cupped her face.

Lak: Who said you are not strong, you are the strongest person I have known.

He looks at her with love, she hugs him.

Rag: I can’t live without you; I need you by my side, every moment.

He was overwhelmed, he hugs her tighter.

Lak: That is why I am planning to join your class my dear wifey. But mind you I will the naughtiest of all.

Rag: But I know how to manage this naughty student.

Lak: Naughty kid yes. But what about the naughty husband, you haven’t seen this side of me, dear.

Rag: Are you threatening me?

Lak: Mm, something like that.

Rag: No problem, no one knows you are my husband, so it is fine.

She wasn’t revealed in front of the media as she hates publicity

Lak: They don’t know now, but…

He walks from there saying this.

Rag: What does he mean? Is he? No, no he won’t.

She finished cooking and they had dinner. She was chirpy again, she looked like the girl he met before their marriage, but after their marriage, she had become so serious, he was happy seeing her old self.

******

Ragini had some works for the next day as she was taking leave for watching his match, for the first and last time. She came to the room very late and was surprised to see Laksh awake.

Rag: Why didn’t you sleep yet?

He simply smiles, she looks t him suspiciously.

Lak: What happened? Why are you looking me like this?

Rag: What is going in the funny brain of yours?

Lak: (innocently) nothing.

Rag: I don’t believe you, yesterday to you said the same thing and you read my personal diary.

She complained and he smiles.

Lak: it is good that I read it otherwise…

He looked at her emotionally...
She didn’t say anything.

Lak: Come sleep, aren’t you tired?

She nodded.
Rag: You?

Lak: I will sleep later.

Rag: But,

Lak: No buts, just sleep.

She nodes.

Rag: You too get some good sleep, you haven’t slept yesterday.

Lak: I will.

She smiles and sleeps within a while. He kept watching her.
