Friendship Or Love? (Raglak Few Shots)

Chapter-9

3 YEARS LATER

Laksh loosened his tie as soon as he reached his house. There is nothing special to mention it as home. The same reputation and prestige talks occupied the living room. Without giving any head to the people who kept blabbering, Laksh moved towards his room.

The dark circles around his eyes proved that he has been not sleeping for weeks. "papa" a smiled crept his lips as soon as he heard that sweet voice. "Princess" Laksh called and took her in his arms. His little princess smiled at him.

She is his solace. The light in his darkness. That cute smile in her lips make him forget all of his tensions and stress. His princess is reason, because of which he is sane.

Laksh had no idea of surviving after that. And if not for his princess Laksh can never be alive after all those mess. He find new peace in the beginning days but it was the calm before the Strom and his life was a battle field after that.

Many things changed in these days. Jaidev's wrath almost destroyed the maheswari's and let the gadodias on street.

And of course that forced Laksh to join the business. Every problem stopped as soon as Laksh became the new chairman. Durgaprasad believed that Ragini can never tolerate Laksh's failure and will request Aarav to stop. And it happened.

Laksh became a big business man in a short span of time and the reason is none other but his girl, Ragini.

But Laksh lost his charm after that. That realization was not so easy to tolerate. The passing seconds remained him that she is actually not his anymore.

Each and every deal remembered him the amount of love that girl had on him. His every success announced him that she is behind that.

"Laksh, you are back?" swara who just reached there asked. After all she didn't expect him to be there at that time. He never visited home often. It was like once or twice in a month unless his princess cries to meet him.

"papa please never leave me this time. That penthouse is so boring leave that and come and live with us" that little girl pleaded. But he can't just leave his office. His career is HIS Ragini's gift and he wanted to make the best of it.

" Apu please dear, once papa became the best business man I will camae and live with you and never leave you ok" Laksh tried to console Apsara who was at the verge of crying because of his unaproval. He hated tears in his princess's eyes. For no reason that always remained him the tear filled eyes of Ragini.

"Papa please", the little girl pleaded. Laksh looked at her face; somehow her face resembled Ragini's face. The same innocence was there, the same carvings for love from her father. Laksh knows the pain Ragini undergone then.

"Ok apu, for you I will stay here ok", Laksh said and the baby hugged him. He didn't like the idea of staying in his house. That carried many unwanted emotions and remembered him of many unwanted memories.

He personally felt peaceful in office because he fixed his mind as his office as his Ragini's gift. Laksh laid himself in that king size bed. The small couch in the penthouse felt more comfortable for him than this cozy royal bed.

He closed his eyes slowly and the crying face of Ragini flashed in his mind. He opened his eyes with a jerk. These three years he tried his best to escape from her memories but it chased him to every corner.

He was so tried yet his mind didn't allow him to close his eyes. He decided to leave for his penthouse. But the little girl's face flashed in his mind. He decided to leave the next day after informing her.

The next morning gave Laksh a good feel. The sweet voice of the little birds gave a new hope to him. The feel of living again crept his heart. He opened his eyes with a great smile, only to find a devil standing in front of him.
