My wife, Raglak

Part 7

Laksh came home thinking of the video he saw. Her words were echoing in his ears, he was thoroughly disturbed. He felt blessed to have her on the same time he was guilty that he didn’t notice what she is going through. The way she breaking down in front of Neil…

For him she was always an angel, who takes away all his miseries, makes him smile, encourages him and always keeps a smile. In a way, he failed to notice that she too was human, that she too has feelings that she too will cry!

He came to the room but stopped at the door seeing her crying. She cried for a while thinking about him and then washed her face.

Rag: (taking a long breath) No Ragini, you can’t fall week, not now, even if he won’t know about his…his chances, now he will start to fall weak eve more soon, so you can’t fall weak.

She smiled and came out. He hid immediately as he didn’t want her to see him. He then went to her as if he came from outside.

Rag: You came early, what happened?

Lak: I, I just felt

Rag: Weak? It is fine, your medicine’s dosage is increased yesterday, so it should happen, no worries you will manage it.

She smiled at him, he looked at her painfully. She hugs him dearly, taking away all his pain. At that moment he forgot everything, his pain, guilt everything, like always he found his solace in her hug and wished the time to stop. Because nothing other than this is right.

She broke the hug and cupped his face.

Rag: Don’t worry; everything will be fine.

He couldn’t say her anything he just left.

Rag: He is really affected, waits a sec, did Neil told him about the results to persuade him, no, no, NO. I just hope he didn’t... But he will, won’t he?

She called him.

Rag: Did you meet Laksh today?

Neil: I, hm, yes,

Rag: (shouting) what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you tell him about his reports? Do you know how upset he is? How would you know? Why would it matter to you? He is already upset with is decaying health and now! Now you told him about his limited time, great!! Do you have any idea that how much it affected him last time? With great difficulty, I calmed him then, but I don’t think I can do it again. He must be truly broken. All thanks to you. Friends should be like this. Forget friendship, are you really a doctor? Doctors usually hide the details about diseases from patients, and you! Yeah right I forgot, you CARE about his health na, so you thought that by telling him about his reports he would stop playing, you did the emotional blackmail again right. I know you did, that is why he is this upset. Why are you making him weak again and again? Aren’t you tired?? You…you… you good for nothing fellow!!

She cuts the call in anger; he looked at the phone and sighed.

Neil: Madam, I didn’t talk about his health nor did I do any emotional blackmail, all did was to talk about you!

Avni laughs.
Avni: Poor thing, she is really worried about him,

Neil: I know, I just hope he understands her.

Laksh saw Ragini scolding Neil and felt guiltier. He wanted to tell her that Neil had actually helped him, but he before that he wanted to know everything she had gone through in the past one year and hence decided to read her diary because, by any chance, she won’t tell him anything.

Later at night, he told her that he will make her sleep. She was surprised by this.

Lak: Usually, it is you who makes me sleep. So,

She just nodes, whenever he is deeply upset thinking of his situation, she comforts him and makes him sleep, as a mother does to her baby.

Lak: Now come,

She lay down and he patted her head comfortably until she slept.

He then went to chair, took out her laptop and started to read her diary.

*****
Guys,

First I thought of writing Ragini-Neil convo, but then I felt like I will directly go into their past. So from now, it is past and mostly it will from her diary, and wherever I feel like only her pov isn’t sufficient, I will give things in third person’s pov.
