MY BODYGUARD

Ragini

I haven't seen Laksh yet. It has been nine hours that I've got conciousness. He's no where to be seen. Even my friends came to meet me in the hospital but not Laksh. Though I didn't ask my parents about him. I asked Yash and Ryan but they're not ready to tell anything to me. Stupid fellows!

God! Where's he? I want to see him.

I looked around my room with a bored expression. I got discharged and came back home an hour ago.

It's night now. I tried calling Laksh many times but his phone is switched off and now I'm feeling scared.

'Did anything happen to him?'

'Or dad fired him for being careless about me?'

'He don't love me that he didn't come to see me?'

So many questions were running in my mind at the same time. I wiped the tears which started flowing from my eyes without my knowledge.

'Why am I even crying?'

I looked at the window as I heard some noises from there. I panicked thinking about any thief being there. I picked up the vase as I started walking towards the window. I opened the curtain only to come face to face with the face of the man I was dying to see. He knocked on the glass window, telling me to open it. I immediately kept the vase aside and opened the window.

I helped him in getting inside. As soon as he got inside, I ensured that he was fine and then hugged him tight to death. I missed him so much. I got confused when he didn't reciprocate. I broke the hug and looked up at him.

"Laksh..." I called his name.

"I just came here to tell you that I'm quitting this job of your bodyguard." he said giving a strong blow to me.

He's quitting the job! He's going, leaving me! No! He can't do this.

"No! Why?" I asked tensed.

"My wish!" he said rudely.

"Laksh! Why are you doing this? What did I do? I'm sorry if I did anything wrong. Please don't go leaving me. Please..." I said and I felt tears running down my cheeks again.

I can't let him go. I love him. I want him.

"What did you do? Seriously? Do I really need to tell you what you did? You tried to take your life! Really Ms Gadodia! If you can think of dying, leaving me then I can atleast think of quitting the job. Right? That's nothing as compared to what you did." he said looking at me with a murderous glare.

And I got him. He was mad at me.

"Laksh, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to do that but I wasn't getting what to do at that time. He was forcefully getting married to me. I didn't want to get married to him." I tried making him understand as I held his hand but he took his hand back.

"You didn't have trust on me? Do you really think that I would have let you get married to him? You didn't think twice before taking that step." he asked with his eyes boring into mine.

I shook my head as I hugged him again.

"I'm sorry Laksh. I'll not do any stupidity like that ever. I swear. Please don't be mad at me. Please don't go. I can't live without you. I'm so sorry. Please Laksh." I said as I started crying badly.

"Promise?" he asked, still not reciprocating.

"I promise!" I said.

Then I felt him draping his strong arms around me and my body immediately relaxed.
