Raglak
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?
As she tried to rehearse her lines, she couldn't stop her mind from thinking about Laksh. His words kept ringing in her minds. He didn't know about her knowing, but it hurt her a lot. 'Broken...broken is all he can see in me. An ugly broken thing!' that was why had been avoiding speaking to him as much as she can since that day of hearing the truth from his lips. Except from performing their parts for their shoot, she found excuses to stay away most of the times.
Ragini threw down the pages she held on the table near her in anger. She sighed and plopped on the chair with a defeated look. Pulling her legs close, she put her head in her hands. 'Laksh, I can go days without taking to you, months without seeing you but...but there's not a moment that I wouldn't think about you. It hurts so much to know that you don't love me. It hurts so much to know that you think of me as a burden, an emotional mess!'
Her thoughts were broken when she heard the sound of footsteps growing louder. She looked up as she felt someone come and stand beside her.
"Hi Ragini. Are you...are you okay now?" Laksh asked in a soft voice.

Ragini didn't know how to respond. Looking at him brought back all the things that she heard him say about her the previous day to his mother. It hurt her to look at him in the eye. But at the same time, she was also glad to see him. Avoiding him, not hearing his voice, not seeing his face hurt her as well. She just kept looking at him, unable to choose the right words. Finally, she nodded mutely.
Laksh looked relieved. His shoulders relaxed as if a burden had been lifted seeing her respond to him. "Thank goodness! I was really worried about you."
"I...I'm fine."
"I'm glad. It really shocked me when you spoke to me in that tune." he replied with a chuckle, remembering back to the previous day when she answers all his questions with a cold 'yes' or 'no'. "Must have been because of your headache, eh?"
She knew what he was referring to.
Laksh had come to her the previous day, smiling, and told her that he wanted to talk to her. However, she told him to go away. She had just heard how he talked about her to his mother, and now he came to her with a smiling face?!
After all, she was hurt after hearing his chat. It pained her, as well as made her angry to look at his happy face. She felt spiteful because where she was suffering from heartache, he was being all honky-dory. When he wouldn't leave, she herself got up and left, telling him not to follow her and to "piss off!"
