Previous part-Part 23
*************************************************************************************
Arjun went to office after bidding bye to the family and his lovely wife, of course ignoring lakshya. Lakshya was confused with his behavior, but ignored it. Later he was all set to leave for his office ragini came with his laptop bag and his lunch. And that’s when they heard the voice
Voice: good morning sir
Lak good morning Atif. Ragini he is Atif khan and he will be your bodyguard from now on.
Rag: (shocked) bodyguard????
Just then dp and kailash came there.
Dp: Atif?????? You here???
Atif: yes sir. Lakshya sir called me here with my team.
Dp: but lakshya, what makes you call Atif here. Is everything alright?
Lak: yes dad. All is well. But as you know that M&M enterprises have reached new heights. Arjun jiju is one of the most famous business tycoon and soon even my career will also be stable. And with all these success, threat comes for free. So I want you all to be safe(looking towards ragini). And that is why I have called him here. As we all know Atif is trust worthy, he and his team will security in charge from now on.
Dp: hmm. As now its you and Arjun who are looking after everything, I will let even this decision to you. But make sure that concern of yours do not suffocate us.
Lak: sure dad.
Once all were gone, he turns to atif.
Lak: Atif, I hope you have got to know why I have called you here. Just make sure everybody is safe. Especially Ragini.
Atif: sure sir.
With this lakshya went to his office, with few guards following him.
************************************************************************************
A small note on Atif. Atif is trustworthy person for Maheshwari ‘s and Mehera ‘s. once Arjun took the responsibility of the business and family. He was quite successful in handling it too. Arjun was succeeding in his career, and that’s when he started getting threats from his opponents. That’s when DP appointed Atif for security in charge for his family for temporary period, Till everything get sorted out. And that’s how Atif entered in their life. and now lakshya has again appointed Atif.
*************************************************************************************
Arj: (shouting angrily on Anjali, on call) and now what is it with the guards Anjali. Why are they here? Lucky dint find it necessary to at least inform me?
Anju: Arjun calm down. its just to make sure that we all are safe. Along with name, fame, success, money, threat and danger also increases. So…
Arj: to hell with safety Anjali. We know that this is not the reason behind this move of lucky. At least we both know it. Don’t we?
Anju: I know Arjun, but till lucky himself tell the reason we cant jump into any conclusion.
Arjun angrily cut the call and calls his PA
Arj: call lucky to my cabin now.
Pa: sir but lucky sir is in conference room with clients.
Arj: (shouts angrily) OUT
******************************************************************************
Ragini was going somewhere when Atif and another lady guard Aliya followed her. ragini gave them a questioning look
Atif: mam we are going to accompany you wherever you will go.
Of course ragini is now a DIL of Maheshwari ‘s , wife of Lakshya Maheshwari and sister of Arjun Mehera. But she was brought up in a middle class background. All these sudden changes and she was feeling it difficult get adjusted. She was feeling it suffocated. Few days back her husband becoming all over, Over-Protective and now these guards. She went back inside the house and went to Anjali ‘s room. After the phone convo with Arjun Anjali was quite disturbed. And that’s when ragini entered worried.
Rag: babhi, why are these guards following me like I am a criminal?
Anju: what??????
Rag: babhi I want to go to riya ‘s house. Its important to meet her. but now Atif is saying that he will accompany me.
Anju: ragu, its their duty dear. They should make sure that you are safe. They cant let you go alone. Can they?
Rag: but babhi, driver will be with me right?
Anju: ragu, driver is not a guard, dear. And don’t you think, You should enjoy this special treatment.
Ragu: you know what babhi, these all look good only in movies not in real life. in real life it sucks. It’s the third time I am trying to go, but every time they come from nowhere and say that they would accompany me. And do you think riya will be able to talk freely with me around them?
Anju: I cant help it ragu. You should get used to it.
Rag: babhi its very important for me to talk to riya and she tells everything that Aayush told her.
Anju: OMG! And what are you waiting for ragu?
Rag: babhi I cant discuss it in her home. So we need to go somewhere else. But even they will accompany us. and we cant feel comfortable talking all those in front them.
Anju: hmm. You are right.
Rag: so………
Anju: so?
Rag: so my dear babhi, you are coming with me to meet riya.
Anju: plz ragu. I am not in a mood to go out.
Rag: plz babhi, only you can distract them. Plz babhi. Plz plz plz……..
Anju: ok.
Ragini and Anjali went to riya’s home, picked her up and went to CCD.
*************************************************************************************
@CCD
Riya and ragini were talking, whereas Anjali was sitting with ailiya and atif in another table little away from them.
Rag: so you don’t love Aayush!
Riya: no.
Rag: first you hid this thing from me. And now you are lying. For god’s sake riya, we are besties since childhood and I know you pretty well.
Riya: so when you know me so well, then why are you asking me.
Rag: I want to hear it from you.
Riya: (frustrated) fine! I love Aayush. Happy now
Rag: very much. Then why the hell you are rejecting him?
Riya: ragu, now you are really testing my patience. Don’t you know that mom and dad will never agree for this, not even in my wildest dreams.
Rag: but Aayush loves you!
Riya: even my parents loves me.
Rag: how can you do this to him. even you know that you cant forget him.
Riya: then how can I ditch my parents? Since when Aayush loves me? May be since a year? But my parents are loving me since 22 years? And what makes you think that I will betray them?
Rag: cant you just give a try. At least for the sake of his love?
Riya: its just useless ragu. It will give him false hope and then break his heart and my parents too. I know my parents love too much. Ha may be their way of loving is different, their thinking and perspective is different. But they love me. And no parent will choose somebody wrong to their daughter. Maybe I am wrong. Me and Aayush could be wrong. Its not like I don’t want to try, but I don’t want to do it. If I reject him now, he may feel bad but eventually he will move on thinking it is one sided. But if I confess, he will start dreaming, and then things will difficult for him and for me too. I want thins truth to burry inside me forever and ever. I want him to move on, he deserves the best ragu. Not me.
Rag: if you love Aayush and marry another person, don’t you think that you are doing injustice with that person, with Aayush, with yourself?
Riya: I know ragu. But I will try forgetting Aayush. Time will heal everything. Not everyone will be as lucky as you to get their love. May be we were never destined to be together. You know very well that, dad and mom will never accept love marriage, that too inter cast marriage. Its just next impossible. And did you think about Aayush ’s parents, even they will also have lot of expectations form their DIL. What will they feel, when suddenly their only son got some girl and will say I will marry her. what about their dreams. He is from rich family background, and me? I’m a middle class girl. Ragu its, its just we are not meant to be.
And she breaks down. then she heard a voice
Voice: what we were destined to be together riya? What if we were meant to be together?
Riya: (shocked) Aayush!!!!!!
Ayu: ha me. So tell me, what if you and me are destined?
Riya: No we are not. no this can never happen. I cannot hurt you, I cannot hurt my parents, your parents.
Ayu: you cannot make everyone happy at the same time. one or the other has to be hurt.
Riya: then why cant it be us?
“because we don’t want that” said riya and Aayush ‘s parents who came there. So this was all planned by babhi and nanand duo. They called Aayush, his parents and riya ‘s parents, and made her confess everything.
Riya ‘s father and front and said ‘ no parent wants their child to suffer riya, even we don’t want you to sacrifice. I know we would have not accepted if you would have told us, but after seeing you state and listening to you we could not hold us back. I really lucky to have you dear’
Aayush ’s father: no sir we are lucky to have such a girl in our family, who not only care about her parents but also her in-laws’. We don’t have any objection to this marriage
Finally ever thing settled and they left the love birds alone.
But before ragini leave the place, riya hugged her and said ‘I am really lucky to have you in my life ragu’ (coz no sorry and thank you in friendship!)
“if you have a true friend you have everything” (not my lines)
Aayush hugged riya in bone crushing hug and she hugged him with the same passion
Ayu: I love you……
Riya: hmm
Ayu: (breaking the hug) what!!! Seriously!!!! After so much drama you are saying humming hmmm? Common yaar, I am proposing you now like almost 1000 times. Today I want my positive replay.
Riya: (with so much of love and passion, looking into his eyes) I love you too Aayush
Aayush was just out of the world after hearing this. And they hugged again.
*************************************************************************************
Later @night in raglak room
Ragini was in lakshya ‘ s arms and was narrating whatever happened.
Lak: wow that was so filmy yaar. This much drama, but still I loved it. Hope now they will be happy together.
Rag: hmm. Riya and me are friends from childhood, lakshya. Since then she is my only and best friend. She more like a sister to me. And I am happy for her.
Lak: and I am happy for Aayush
Rag: why?
Lak: you know to be honest, since when I got to know that he WAS your crush I don’t like him much. Especially him around you. I was just waiting that, when that idiot will get married and when I can be tension free forever. And it happened. And trust me, if he would have proposed riya, then I would have married him any of my female employee for sure. I cant take risk for too long you know.
Rag: lakshya you are too much. Like seriously! Any of your female employee. Bichara bach gaya.
Lak: I know, I am quite too much when you are involved, and I cant help it, so get used to it. And don’t call him bichara. How innocent he looks he is not that much innocent in real.
And they called it a night with their sweet nok-jok.
