#Cave#
In the chilly cave, with only the ashes of the tiny fire that provided them with heat for the entire night, two souls rested in each other's embrace, being each other's solace.
None of them spoke any words of comfort to each other. However, the silence that descended in the cave as they held on to each other was more comforting than any verbal consolation.
The wind lightly touched their cheeks and ruffled their, as if reminding them to wake up.
Laksh's nose scrunched up as Ragini's hair tickled it. He slowly came to his senses and woke up. With stealth, Laksh broke apart from her and looked at her lovingly, careful not to wake her up. He couldn't believe he never realized her beauty from the start. "Ragini, I thought that I needed to be with someone perfect. I was insecure being with any girl. You were the only one that I became good friends with. Even then, I tried to keep myself aloof. But..." Laksh patted his chest with a wry smile. "...but this heart didn't listen. Each day I spent with you, you became more and more important for me. And now, I just...I just can't imagine my days without you. You have become a habit to me. Sun rises in the east, water is blue. And it has become my routine to meet you."
A small smile broke out on her face. It seemed she was already awake.
Ragini blushed and opened her eyes to look at him. "I...I could say the same about myself."
Laksh blinked at her. "Wh-what?"
"I um...I like you Laksh." Ragini shook her head and looked at him in the eyes. "No. Not like. I love you. I love you Laksh Maheshwari." Ragini admitted. "I don't know when it happened. I don't know how it happened but...but I fell for you. I fell for you hard. That was why..." Ragini looked away in sorrow. "That was why it hurt so much when I came to know you thought of me as someone unworthy of your love. Someone broken and damaged for you to love. So-ow!" Ragini exclaimed as Laksh hit her on the head lightly and looked at her in anger.
