Who would have thought that a cold hearted business man would be someone who believes in having a one true love?
But then again, who would have thought that a sweet and kind hearted girl would be filled with venom for the word caled love?
Wow! Thanks for the wonderful response to the fic. 😍
Moving on...💃💃💃

Chapter 7 - Hurt
"Wh-what do you mean?" Sujata asked with a perplexed face. "Don't start with fake excuses now."
Laksh shook his head. "Listen to me. Maa, she is already so emotionally broken. How can she be the perfect one for me? Looking at her, I feel like I'm looking at a delicate flower. Sure it is beautiful. But one storm is enough to tear it apart!" he reasoned. "She's an emotional mess! I can't live with her!"
Outside, Ragini placed a fist over her mouth to hold back her sobs. She couldn't believe her ears. Listening to him saying such things, she felt like someone was suffocating her and squeezing her heart. She felt angry, embarrassed, insulted at the same time. But most of all, she felt hurt.

'After what happened in my past, I never thought I would fall in love again. Yet, I dared to love you. Yet, I dared to think that you were different. Yet I...Yet I believed that you wouldn't break my trust...that you wouldn't hurt me!' she thought, with tears of hurt and anger flowing freely from her eyes. 'I thought you would be the one to rub away my tears. But instead, you became the cause of it.'
Ragini leaned away from the caravan and rubbed at her eye angrily. 'I...I hate you Laksh! I hate you!' without a word, she rushed away from there. She ran as fast as she could, as if hoping she could even outrun the pain and hurt she was going through at the moment.
"Eh? What happened to Di?" questioned Swara to Uttara as she saw her sister run away.
She and Uttara had just come back from the photo studio after giving some of her pictures for a child fashion magazine. Uttara was pampering her with all the care and attention she could.
"I don't know Swara. Why don't you go ask her? I'm sure your Di will tell you." Uttara reasoned.
"You're right Uttara Di! Bye!" Swara waved at Uttara and ran after Ragini. Once Swara went away, Uttara turned to look at the caravan with narrowed eyes. 'If I'm not wrong, that's bhai's caravan. Why would Ragini come rushing from there. I'm pretty sure I didn't see her laughing face, but rather a distressed one. Something's not right.' with this thought in mind, she took quick steps towards the vehicle.
#Laksh's caravan#
To say Sujata was shocked to hear the words flowing out of her son's mouth would be an understatement. She stood there frozen for some minutes.
However, once the shock wore off, she moved forward and slapped Laksh...hard. "Take it back!" she shouted in anger.
Laksh's face was turned away as he had stilled after the hit. Slowly, he turned to face his mother. He could only look back at her in shock and disbelief. Never had she raised a hand against him. "M-Maa?"
