Raglak ff: The time to Change

Part 24

Uttara moved out of Sanskar's arms and went towards Prakash. She gave him a tight slap and said "Don't underestimate the power of a woman. She can do anything to save her dignity and her family." With that she slapped him again. The police took Prakash from there while Laksh hugged Uttara tightly and said sorry to her repeatedly. Uttara broke the hug and said "I am fine now bhaiya! Don't worry." Laksh cleaned off her tears and kissed her forehead. He then looked at Sanskar and Arjun and said "Let's go." They nodded and Sanskar moved towards Uttara and took her in his arms and walked with her while Laksh followed them.

Suddenly Laksh stopped when he heard Arjun saying "It's my fault." Everyone turned around and saw Arjun standing with guilty expression. "I am the reason for Ragini's..." His words stopped at his throat forming a lump. He couldn't say anything, so Laksh stepped towards him and said "Ragini is alright now!" Arjun and Uttara looked at Laksh in shock and surprise. "Her surgery is over and she may get consciousness tomorrow!" Laksh continued saying. Arjun moved forward and held Laksh by his shoulders and asked "Really?" His eyes shine with happy tears while Uttara was looking at Laksh hopefully. Laksh nodded his head making Arjun let out a breath in happiness. Uttara smiled happily and hugged Sanskar. "But you are right! It's your fault!" Laksh said in accusing tone to Arjun. Arjun nodded and said "I know! And I am sorry! I know my sorry won't make this situation normal but still..." He was interrupted by Laksh who hugged him suddenly. Arjun was surprised by his hug. He broke the hug and looked at Laksh confused. "Thank you! Thank you for saving my sister. Yeah, I had very much anger on you on seeing Ragini's condition. But then if these things haven't happened, I wouldn't have realized my love for her. So let's forget this and be friends like before!" Laksh said and smiled at Arjun who smiled back at him and hugged him tightly. "If your hugging session is over, can we get out of this factory? It's actually creeping me out." Sanskar said making everyone laugh.

Sanskar drove Laksh's car and dropped Uttara at MM as they don't want the elders to get worry on seeing Uttara's condition. Laksh drove Arjun's car with him towards hospital. Ragini was still unconscious. Arjun asked everyone to go their house and take rest. But they refused to go. So Laksh said "I am here to take care of Ragini. You guys don't need to suffer yourself for the sudden care you got on her. Just leave from here!" He said in a dismissive tone. Everyone sighed and went to their house while Laksh asked Arjun to go to his house as he was already tired of fighting with Prakash. So now Laksh was with Ragini.

He sat on a stool beside her bed and took her hand softly. He sighed and looked at her face. He remembered their moments and smiled at them. He slowly placed a butterfly kiss on her fingers. He then rubbed her hand softly with his thumb. "I still can't believe that I got a second chance with you!" He whispered and looked at her face. "I will cherish you with my love that you wanted always. But for that Ragini, I am not going to force you to stay with me. It's your life, a new life, and I don't want to make you do what I want like others did in your past. You have always lived your life for others... but not this time. I am going to let you have your life. I will help you in leading it in your own way and for that I can fight with anyone. It's now your wish to stay with me or not." He paused and let out a breath while looking somewhere. His eyes had a pain look but still he covered them and looked at Ragini again. His eyes brimmed with tears unknowingly. "You have loved me when I didn't even notice you. But now I love you and I didn't know you still love me or not." A lone tear falls down from his left eye. He sniffed and continued saying "I know I will be hurt if you decide to stay away from me, but still I will support you and your decisions." More tears falls down from his eyes while he continued "But Ragini, don't expect me to completely stay away. Because I will always be there in your eyesight and do something crazily to get your attention." He grinned at her with still tears falling from his eyes. "I will show you what one side love is... And what it feels like to have a handsome admirer." He said and chuckled softly. He then looked at her face and became sad. His tears came back in his eyes. "I don't know what to say anymore Ragini." He said shrugged his shoulders. He then looked at her like a kid looking at his sick mother and said "Just get well soon princess. I want to see that sparkling intense eyes with the mesmerizing smile in your face." He once again kissed her fingers and said "I love you so much my wifey!" With that he too fell asleep.
