A/n: Hi guys I'm back with a new one-shot. But it is not my own story. My cousin told me this story and I liked the concept so I thought to write this on our favorite RagLak.

*Republishing *

She looked at the rose plant which is filled with white blossoms. Once her heart is also filled with happiness like this but now everything is gone and she had no idea whether she can find that happiness again or not. She plucked the flowers in the basket she is holding in her hand. Her eyes welled up and single set of tears escaped her eyes as a happy memory turned into a painful one crossed her memory lane.

"Ragini I want to give you something" he said with a broad smile. Ragini looked at him with love. His eyes also expressed the same love. Pure love filled with passion and care. She smiled at him and nodded her head. He knelt down the next second holding a white rose in his hand.

"Ragini you may think why I gave white rose as lovers give red rose to each other, but whenever I saw these white roses the first thing that comes in my mind is you Ragini. This flower always resembles your face to me, too pure. Not only your face but also your heart pure is like these roses, I want you to be with me Ragini, not only today but forever" he said while his each words expressing his love for her.

She took that flower from his hand and hugged him. They both are so much lost in that blissful moment

A sudden wind dragged Ragini to the reality. She looked at the moon. It glowed very brightly; she wished to have the same glow in her life too. But she knows she is not in the place to have wishes and all.

As she moved inside her house because of the heavy wind her chain got stuck somewhere and fell down. She took that chain in her hand looked at that. It is a chain with a key pendent. Again a memory crossed the reality to bring her more pain.

She is sitting in her collage canteen and suddenly someone closed her eyes from behind. But it didn't take more than a second for her to recognize him as her love.

"Leave na?" she said and he came to the front and sat in front of her.

"I have a gift for you "she said with a broad smile. His eyes expressed curiosity because he knows this girl always do something interesting.

She took out a heart shaped lock and a key, took two chains and put the lock in one chain and key in one chain. She locked it and gave one to him.

"look this is your heart and it's key is in my hands, whenever you feel down or lost just tell me I will open your heart and wipe all your sorrows" she said with a innocent smile.

He embraced her in a hug

Ragini wiped the tear and moved inside. She can't tolerate more in a single day.

************************************************************************************************************************************

Laksh looked at his reflection on mirror once again. Today was the most special day in his life. A real turning point of his life is here. Finally he is going to propose her for marriage. He knows that it was her dream to marry him in a grand way and he is going to make that true.

He took the gift she bought for her. He opened his wardrobe and took out a jewel box. He bought a diamond ring for her, that too in his own earnings.

He took his car and left to the felt she is staying.

He stood in front of her flat. A new emotion filled his heart. He felt so nervous all of sudden. He was really not ready to have till few days before. But this developing insecurity forced him to do so.

He knocked the door and waited her to open the door. His love, he wanted to live his life for a long time with her and only with her. He can't just name his feelings for her but she is more valuable to him than anything else.

The door opened and he saw her beautiful face. A wide smile crept his lips. "Happy birthday my dear love. Have a wonderful year ahead Swara" he said and hugged her. (Anyone expected Ragini here? Raise your hands please).

They both went inside and he gave her the teddy he bought. He planned to surprise her by proposing her at night in his flat.

"Swara darling be at my flat at 8 ok. I have a surprise for you. Today is going to her the best day of your life, mine too" he said and kissed her cheeks.

She blushed as he moved forward to kiss her but before that a metal falling sound is heard distracting both of them.

Laksh turned and shocked to find the lock heart pendent lying on the floor near the jewel box. It took more than a second to him to realize that he took the wrong jewel box with him.

His mind remembered her "look this is your heart and its key is in my hands, whenever you feel down or lost just tell me I will open your heart and wipe all your sorrows"

What is this? Swara asked pointing the chain. "It's nothing" he said and threw that chain aside and continued his romance.

"Ok Laksh let's meet in the evening now you go" Swara said and pushed him outside and he went out smiling. He never knows his life will become this much beautiful one day.

He was more than happy in his life or that is what he believed. He reached his flat and pure aroma of rose flowers filled his room. He searched for the source and found a basket full of white roses in the living room. "Ragav" he called his best friend.

"Why are you shouting now Laksh" Ragav asked irritated.

"From where these roses came from" he asked. He really felt uncomfortable in front of white roses.

"The delivery boy gave that. He said that you ordered them" Ragav said and left the place.

"But I ordered red roses only" Laksh shouted. "Maybe it's a mistake leave it na Laksh, what is in color red or white, rose is a rose na" Ragav said before existing the flat.

Laksh sat on the sofa. His eyes are fixed in those white roses.

"Whenever I saw these white roses the first thing that comes in my mind is you Ragini. This flower always resembles your face to me, too pure. Not only have your face but also your heart is pure like these roses"

His own voice echoed in his mind. He doesn't know why but suddenly he felt a strong pain in his heart. It was like he lost something which is too close to his heart.

Suddenly he realized that he left that pendent in Swara's flat. He didn't want her to create any issue over this in future. He rushed to her flat to get that pendant.

He opened the door of her flat and shocked to find the scene in front of him. His eyes welled up and he felt a stinking pain in his heart. He felt like someone is stabbing him rapidly.

He found his lady love being close to another man.

"Swara when you are going to tell about us to Laksh" that man asked.

"I don't think it is a good idea to open it up now. You know my financial condition is not good now and you are also in no good state but he is stable. So will tell him after few days" Swara said and Laksh looked at her with tear filled eyes.

"Swaraaa" he shouted. She turned towards him and rushed towards him. "Laksh try to understand actually this in not..." he stopped her showing his palm.

He slapped her hard on her cheeks twice and pushed her aside, reached the living room took that chain and left.

He reached his flat. He remembered his days with her. Those happy moments he shared with her, their love talks, their romance, everything became a lie now.

He banged his fist on the wall and cried. Whenever he closes his eyes her face flashed in his mind.

He took a bottle full of alcohol and drunk those in one go. He had no idea that betrayal will pain this much. He suddenly remembered Ragini.

"Please don't do this to me Laksh please, I can't live without you Laksh" her words echoed in his mind. He took another bottle and emptied it in no time.

He felt like his life is a waste and he badly wanted to die that second. He reached terrace and went near the railing, suddenly he felt rose petals near him. He looked around and saw the basket fell down in wind and roses spreading in the floor. Ragini's beautiful face came into his mind.

"I betrayed you Ragini, I gave you great pain. I want to apologize now Ragini" he said caressing her photo in his phone.

************************************************************************************************************************************

Laksh was in the car, he decided to meet her and ask for apology. He can't survive with that guilt after knowing the pain of betrayal. He remembered their cute days, the time they spend together. Now only he realized her true love and he can't just go back to her now.

This is called fate. When he had her he didn't valued her. Now when he needs her she is not with him and he is in the place where he can't get her again.

The car halted before the collage. The place where Laksh met Ragini for the first time is here. The place where he proposed his love is also this.

He remembered that day, she was so happy that day. Not only that day, was she happy whenever she is with him. But he stole her happiness. As the guilt started empowering his feelings he decided to return back. He is not sure whether he can survive this pain or not.

He is not sure whether he can control his emotion when he meets her and he doesn't want to take any risks. With a sad heart he decided to leave without seeing her face.

"Bhaiya drive to airport" he said to the driver, and closed his eyes.

Her smiling face, her cute pout, her innocence, and her smile everything flashed in his mind. Suddenly the car halted with a jerk. Laksh opened his eyes and got down cheek. "Bhaiya what happened?" he asked to the taxi driver.

"Sir Car tire puncher it will took more time for me to change so please take another car" he said and Laksh looked around the place he is standing.

He is just standing in front of her house, his Ragini's house.

Without his sense his legs moved towards that place. All memories he shared with her in this place wandered in his mind.

The rose plant filled with white Blossoms grabbed his attention. He remembered his own words.

"Whenever I saw these white roses the first thing that comes in my mind is you Ragini. This flower always resembles your face to me, too pure. Not only your face but also your heart is pure like these roses"

His eyes welled up and he wiped the tears. He turned around and another memory filled his mind.

"Laksh please understand me Laksh, my dad is searching a groom for me. I can tell them about you please once meet my dad. He will never say no, please Laksh" Ragini cried walking behind the angry Laksh.

She has been asking him to marry her as soon as possible for last few days. But he knows that he can never keep her happy with this. He has to settle down in his life. He has to build his career so that he can give her a good future.

"Don't be crazy Ragini, I can't marry you now. I'm not settle yet. I didn't even have a good job, you are asking me to meet your father but how can I introduce myself? As an unemployed? Tell me Ragini" he shouted at her.

Ragini looked at him shocked. Till now he never shouted at her and now he was shouting at her just be3casue she asked him to marry her.

"But Laksh my dad is very determined to get me married. Please Laksh talk to him once. We can postpone the marriage but atlas talks with my dad please Laksh" she cried this time.

"Enough Ragini. I'm really tired of this. Tired of explaining you these things. Let's part our ways Ragini. You and me will never fit. For you your family is important and for me my career. Both of us can never sacrifice them. So better brake up Ragini" he said as if he is telling a joke.

But it hurt her more. "Please Laksh don't do this to me Laksh. Don't leave me. I will die without you Laksh" she said but he didn't give any heads to her and moved away.

Laksh remembered that fateful day in his life. Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and jerked when he found Ragini standing there.

"Laksh?" she asked surprised. She didn't expect him there. "Ragini" he said her name after a long time.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she saw him standing in front of her house with his luggage. "I came here to apologize for my mistakes" he said without looking into her eyes.

She smiled at him, which mesmerized him in no time. "Apologize? For what Laksh?" she asked with a chuckle.

"For leaving you in the middle Ragini" he said with guilt filled face and she smiled at him. "Come inside Laksh, you look tired" she said and they both entered into her house.

Each and every corner of that house remembered him about the time they spend together. Each passing second made that hard for him to survive.

"You drunk a lot yesterday aren't it? Tell me Laksh what is bothering you?" she asked. He is not sure how this girl managed to get him whenever he feels low.

"I felt there pin I betrayal I caused to Ragini" he said as tears started streaming down from his eyes.

"Tell me in detail Laksh" she asked and he told her the whole story for the day he left her to this day.

She wiped his tears and hugged him.

"Life won't move like we wish Laksh. Everything happens in apposite here. When you wanted to live it won't let you to live and when you want to die it won't let you die too but forces to live" she said and he looked at her shocked.

For a second he is really shocked. The Ragini he knows is not this much mature. Suddenly Ragini's marriage photo fixed in the wall grabbed Laksh's attention.

For no reason he felt a deep pain in his heart. Seeing her in bridal attire with some other man made him mad. It felt so wrong, yet he knows the reality.

"Ragini are you married?" Laksh asked with a lot of hesitation. It's only an hour after he met Ragini after a long brake but he felt many old emotions giving rise to them inside him. And he is not sure about the name of that feeling.

"Yes Laksh, his name is Sanskar Kapoor" she said. Laksh felt a bang in his heart. It felt like someone is ripping his heart out.

"But, now I'm not with him. I live alone here" she added and Laksh felt an unexplainable happiness inside him. But as he saw her dull face his happiness fades away.

"What happened Ragini?" he asked with concern filled voice.

"After knowing your truth dad rushed the marriage. He fixed it will his friend's son and me without any choice agreed to that marriage" she stopped and wiped her tears.

"But Sanskar is not a good person. He abused me physically and mentally, tortured me every day and one day he got to know about our; love story and it became worse, so I left him" she said and cried.

Laksh hugged her and caressed her hair. For no reason it felt so right for both of them. Being together soothed both souls.

They both shared few cute moments. Laksh decided one thing, his life will be happy only if he spent them with Ragini. He decided not to let her go once again. "I love you Ragini" he thought in his mind.

Suddenly his phone beeped and he excused himself.

After few hours Laksh reached Ragini's house. His eyes are swollen and are red. His face has few buries. His shirt has some blood stains. He entered into the kitchen and looked at the Ragini who is cooking her food.

"Ragini" he called and she turned towards him with a smile.

"Laksh what happened to your face?" she rushed towards him and looked at him concerned.

"I went to meet sanskar" he said and she jerked and moved back.

Laksh remembered the scene which happened an hour ago.

As soon as he got Sanskar Kippur's address he rushed there. He knocked the door and a man in his late 20's opened it.

"Sanskar kapoor?" Laksh asked to confirm. He nodded and Laksh beat him black and blue.

"Are you mad? Why are you beating me man?" Sanskar shouted at Laksh.

"I'm giving you a final warning? If you ever dared to meet Ragini or tried to hurt her, Mark my words I will kill you with my bare hands" Laksh shouted and sanskar backed of a little.

"But why I'm going to hurt a dead person?" Sanskar said and Laksh looked at him shocked. " what are you barbering?" Laksh held his collar.

"I'm not blabbering but she is really dead" he said and Laksh left from there like mad man.

"what sis he said?" Ragini asked with a panic striken face. But Laksh stood Unreacted. " Laksh please say something" she pleaded.

"are you really dead?" he asked to her shock. Tears started falling from both pair of eyes.

"hann Laksh. I'm dead. He killed me. But I'm not going to hurt you Laksh. I'm the same Ragini you loved. But if you are really afraid of me thinking me as ghost you acn leave Laksh" she said with tears.
He stood there unmoved. She moved a step forward and he moved back word and ran away from the house.

He is living with a ghost for a whole day and he can't find that she is a ghost.

He like a mad man ran to the road. "don't run Laksh please" he heard her voice but ignored that.

"he tried to stop the autos but they didn't stopped. He waved his hands Infront of them but hot no response.

So he moved to the centre of the road and tried stopping a car but the car passed through him.

He can't belive his own eyes. Without having any sense he sat there.

"Laksh" he heard Ragini's voice.

"what you have done Laksh?" she said with tears falling down from her cheeks. "I told you not to run now look" she said and cried.

Laksh saw his own dead body lying few meters away. He remembered getting hit by a car.

"Ragini" he said her name.

She hugged him. "You left your world and reached my world Laksh. Let's start a new life here" she said and he hugged her tightly.

They both walked into the house holding each other's hands.

some love stories doesn't need the leads to be alive to have a happy ending. Even death can unite lovers and a happy ending can be formed.
