Timeline : Laksh's arrival to Kolkata. Ragini and he haven't met yet, and are strangers.
Strangers turned Friends...or More?
He woke up to the sounds of beeping and an odd scent.
'Oh I know what this smell is. Please, no!' Laksh cracked one eye open and groaned. "It had to be a hospital!"
"I see you're awake."
Laksh looked towards the door to find a girl standing there with some medicines. Her smile contrasted with the gloomy bedsheets of the room.
"Um, sorry but I don't recognize you."
She came in with her unfaltering smile and placed the bag of meds beside him on the table. "It's okay. We are strangers after all." she put forward her hand. "I'm Ragini Gadodia."
Laksh nodded. "Laksh."
"Ah young man! You're awake!" exclaimed the doctor, entering the room. "You should be thankful of Ragini. She saved you."
"Eh?" Laksh thought back hard. Only then, he remembered.
He was chasing a thief who pickpocketed his purse. While chasing, he accidentally came into the middle of the street. The honking of a car was the last thing he heard. "I...I was in an accident?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes. You hit your head hard. But she called the ambulance on time. It's been a day since you were admitted."
"Wow!" he turned to Ragini and nodded gratefully. "I can't thank you enough."
"It's alright."
"Just accept his gratefulness. Shy much?" the doctor teased.
Ragini chuckled, a blush gracing her cheeks. "You're welcome Laksh."
Laksh nodded with a smile. However, in his mind he was starting to despise her. 'She probably recognized me as Laksh Maheshwari. That's why she didn't even question me when I didn't reveal my surname. She helped me thinking I would give her money. Ugh! I know these selfish money diggers.' Laksh narrowed his eyes at her face. 'But why does it feel like I've seen her somewhere?'
