Ragini

I don't understand the need of getting all decked up for a mere engagement! Okay accepted that for girls it might be the chance to get all dolled up for their partners whom they love or respect. But here in my case its neither!

I HATE Laksh with all my life, okay if hate is a strong word I for sure atleast dislike him. A lot. Yet we are here getting engaged today.

For now, I am in the car going to his family mansion all decked up. Bhai, Swara, ma and papa all are sharing talks and thus you can guess that the car's environment is all perfect.

But my mood?!

Pathetic.

I am wearing this creamish coloured lehanga with all the required make up done.

In just three hours I will officially be tied to the monkey!

➖➖➖➖➖

"Beta, make him wear the ring," Anu ma told me while every guest were very attentively looking at us.

Laksh and I flashed a purest fake smile. And with a fake smile I pushed the ring in his finger and he did the same.

The people, audience clapped at our misery while Swara and bhai flashed all their 32 teeth at us.

Enjoy enjoy.

"How am I going to handle such a chipkali like you?" My to-be- husband muttered in my ears.

"I am pretty sure a chipkali is still better than a monkey," I too retorted back.

I strongly disliked the human standing next to me but seeing ma, papa and kapoor ma, papa; my heart overwhelmed with happiness. To me their happiness mattered a lot.

"Why are you smiling chipkali? Oh wait did you realise that how lucky you are as now you are going to be married to the most handsome young unique Laksh Kapoor," Laksh smirked.

"Marrying you is a pure torture! Not a blessing, remember that. I am smiling seeing the smiles beutifying our parents faces," I smirked back while he also looked at them and gave a small smile of satisfaction.

"Afterall we are doing this for them," he mutters almost to himself.

"Indeed, Mr.Kapoor."

Thats when MR. LAKSH KAPOOR gave a genuine smile and mind you that was addressed towards me!

"Welcome to this dangerous ride Miss. Ragini Mehta, soon to be Mrs.Ragini Laksh Kapoor," Laksh says smiling while I get ready for the adventure ahead of me.

"Ragu, you are engaged!??" Tia, my bestfriend here; asks me as soon as I settled in my office cubicle.

She noticed the heavy shining rock which now layed on my finger. There was no scope in lying now, truth was clear and infront of her eyes. Now time comes where I would have to show my skills.

"Yes Tiu," I smile at her, but a sad one.

"Ragu, why are you sad? You should be happy na!! Moreover how angry I am at you. I thought I was your bestfriend but you didn't even invite me, chuck that you didn't even inform me," she said dejected.

The guilt pang hurt me deep, it was true that Tia was the bestest friend I could ever get after Swara but the promise and the condition, my real identity had caged me.

But now there was time for some drama.

"Kya batau yaar, my life is all messed up," I said faking a sob.

I am such a great actor, shaabhaash!!

"What? What happened Ragu?" Tia asked curiously.

"My to be husband is very bad," I again sobbed.

"Whaat?"

"Yes, he is an atyaachari man, idiot, stupid, duffer, ugly, old, zulmi, hateful man," I told her my sad story.

See technically I wasn't lying. Laksh was everything except atyaachari and zulmi; otherwise all the other adjectives were very true.

Okay even old was wrong,

He is young.

Still.

"Then Ragu why are you marrying him?"

"Ma papa, they are very old. I am the eldest in my family, I have three younger siblings to look after. Two sisters and a brother. My sisters are very young but my brother," I sobbed a big cry. My acting skills were so on point that my eyes had started watering.

"My brother is a very dangerous alcoholic, when he is under influence he goes mad and hits his ill wife. His wife-" I couldn't continue as I agained sobbed.

"Continue na," Tia asks sadly. She seemed so curiously interested in my fake family life.

"His wife, is mad. Her responsibilty is also upon me. To support them I had to agree," I completed my sob story.

Bhai, Swara please forgive me I intend no harm. Afterall I love you guyzzz.

"Ooh Ragu, I am so sorry. I understand your situation now. You are doing a great job," Tia hugged me while I smiled.

Pheww!! What a task it was. But seriously people I am such a great story teller na??

"Raguu--" Tia was cut off by my desk telephone which rang.

Picking up my phone I heard bhai's voice.

"Behna, zara cabin mein aao," bhai said sweetly.

What happened to him? Am I getting promoted?

Naah.

"Okay sir,"

I kept the phone down and turned towards Tia.

"What happened Ragu?"

"Sir is calling me, I will just be back."

Getting up I moved towards bhai's cabin.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

"Yes bhai?" I said as soon as I entered the cabin but come infront of three angry, actually very angry family members of mine.

All three of them stood arms crossed over their chest as they stood fuming in anger.

"Gu-uyss?" I asked confused thinking the reason of their anger.

First bhai moves forward.

"Kyu bachu? Alcoholic? Hits his wife? Poor family? No food?" Bhai says raising his eyebrows at me. He looked extremely angry.

Huffing he left the cabin angrily.

I gulped in fear, so they knew about my fake story.

Aee babaji!

Now Swara moved towards me, boiling in anger. "So Ragu, two younger siblings? Brother's wife is mad? Hits her? Ill?" Swara also angrily repeats my statements.

"Swa-" but before I could continue she also left angrily.

I am gone.

Now only Laksh and I were in the cabin and I could sense the dangerous aura around me.

Now Laksh moved towards me the only difference was thay he continued moving towards me despite our growing closeness. Scared of the proximity I started moving backwards while he continued his forward journey.

"What did you say?" He mutters huskily.

My luck was so against me, I was already backed up by the door and had no space to move back any more. Laksh was now dangerously close, his eyes darkened.

Caging me between his arms on either side of my face.

"Zulmi? Atyaachari? Ugly? and what all did you say?" He asks me angrily.

"Uughh, did I even say those things?" I pretended to think as I gave him a warm smile.

God please protect me!

"Ragini!" his eyes narrowed.

"Idiotstupidoldhateful," I muttered lowly.

"Am I old?" He asks, his breath fanning over my neck.

No.

Truth.

Gulping in fear I nodded a no to protect myself.

Amd suddenly the warmth I was feeling left me and coldness washed over me as I watched Laksh also leaving the cabin angrily.

Now I have three people to apologise. I sighed lag ja kam pe Ragu beta.

If that wasn't enough I got a message from ma saying,

Please come home, want to talk.
