Chapter 7 : " The Face Off"

24 January 2019

Ragini hated that Laksh hadn't spoken a word since he dragged her to the cafe to wait the arrival of Rajeev , she so much as not hate him for being the reason her family died but for never doing anything to catch her .

And she resented that she let her anger cloud her judgement , as she turned to look at her husband the man she loved , she noticed he was nervous. She never seen him nervous about anything , he always had his easy smile . It was one of the reasons she fell for him.

At the sound of footsteps. Her husband face brightened and when ragini saw how he rushed to greet the man  with a brotherly hug  ,she realized that in spite of being his wife ,she really didnt know the person who deserved such adoration from her husband

Her mind was filled with million question , all related to how her husband and rajeev knew each other . And so when rajeev finally turned to greet her ,she was surprised by the welcome she saw in his face , she expected that he would hate her .

         " You must be Ragini , i wish we met in a different circumstance . " Rajeev voice greeted her making her aware of the reason behind the meeting .

        " I didnt want to cause you trouble .."Ragini began speaking but she couldn't continue because her husband was glaring at her .

       " You wanted answers from me ,i get it . Pradeep filled me in and i realize if i were in your place i would do the same " Rajeev spoke up surprising her by his defense .

          Ragini was very aware that she didnt let Laksh knew about her reasons , so when his face crunched up in confusion her heart went out for him . But she wont be the one who will let Laksk knew Swara died because someone was obsessed with Rajeev .

         Laksh already lost Swara, she didnt want him to lose rajeev either .So she decided not to tell him after all he did love Swara .

        " Laksh ,can you give five minutes alone with your friend " Ragini asked even though she knew Laksh wasn't talking to her ,she hoped he wont snub her before rajeev .

         " Not a Friend ,but my brother . So help me Ragini if you so much as hurt him with your words . You will lose me forever " Laksh words froze her up , he had been her friend the kind the stood by your side over everything .

            And it hurt to know that she was issued an ultimatum and yet she nodded her head once in answer and waited till Laksh walked away before turning to face the man who held the answers she wanted .

             " He didnt know about Swara?" Rajeev question made her aware the real reason for his presence as she looked at him in silence .

   
            " Why didnt you tell Lucky ?," he asked when she remained silent ,she wasn't going to admit to the stranger . She didnt want laksh to be hurt more than his support , she wanted his happiness .

             And then she froze as she recollected Rajeev calling Laksh, Lucky . She knew he called him Lucky ever since he arrived in the cafe and yet not once laksh corrected him stating only his brother holds the right to call him by the name .

                  His brother , how did she dismiss laksh statment as just like than , when she knew better . Laksh addressed him as a brother not to stress the importance of rajeev in his life but because it is the truth.

            " You are Sanskar ?" Ragini couldn't help but hide the surprise in her voice .

         " You didnt know " Sanskar asked her and this time she realized he expected her to know that the man before her is Laksh cousin ,Sanskar . Now she understood the anger behind her husband reaction and it made her feel ashamed to be the cause of his pain.
