RAGLAK: ENTANGLED (Part 3)

Thank u guys for ur warm comments.Here is part 3.Enjoy….
Ragini was sitting in her room
“Hello.”

“Mother!” Ragini shouted at her mother on her cell. “Why didn’t you tell me about all this inheritance stuff?!” .

“Well, I never really cared much for living out at that old place, you know that. I never really kept up with it all. Sort of forgot about it, really. Your father and I make more than enough money to take care of ourselves anyway.”

“You really have no idea what’s going on here do you?” Ragini exclaimed, stunned at her mother’s willful ignorance.

“Honey, I made my choices a long time ago and knowing ‘what’s going on’ over there was something I chose not to involve myself in.”

“Grand dad invested in things, do you remember that?”

“Well, yes,” she replied.

“And you’ve heard Toshiba? And Coppertone? He has stock in all of those! And he apparently owns part of a golf team…”

“Hockey,” her mother corrected.

“Whatever. The other owners had talked to the lawyers and want to buy his share. He also owns stock in countless other businesses. Most I’ve never heard of, but Apple? Seriously?!”

“Well, honey, I know you’ll do what’s best of the family.”

“We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars, mother!” Ragini said sternly amazed that her mother was so disinterested in such an astonishing inheritance. Even the cabbie’s eyebrows raised at the amount.

“It is more than I expected but like I said, it’s yours now. Just make me proud. You still have Mr. Kapoor there looking after the finances, right?”

“Mom, Maasi fired Mr. Kapoor in the 90’s. He was there though, wanting to do it again. Apparently we paid him quite well and he was close friends with grand dad.”

“Well, you should let him. Your grand dad trusted him with his life. And you’re lucky he was there.”

“Alright. Thanks, mom,” she said with a sigh. “We’re about to be in the dead zone. Swara said that there is zero reception anywhere around the estate.”

“Swara is still there?” her mother exclaimed.

“Yeah, she’s the head maid.”

“Her mother was my friend.. Tell her I said hello.”Sharmistha said in a dreaming tone

“Sure, mom. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Love you. Make me proud.”

“Love you, too, mom.”
*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*

Dinner was wonderful, her bath was relaxing and she was exhausted. The house and assets were almost officially hers. When she found out how much it was all worth she nearly fell out of her chair. She cried uncontrollably for almost half an hour in the bathroom at the lawyers office before she could collect herself enough to call her mom Her first thought was that she never had to work another day in her life. The second, naturally, was that she was going shopping in Paris, but she couldn’t help that thought.

“Make me proud,” he mother had said.

Ragini sighed.I guess I know what I have to do Later that night Ragini was contemplating the fate of the manor. She had decided to hire temporary staff and landscapers and such. She knew she wanted to purchase new uniforms; those rags they’ve been wearing looked decades old.

Then she thought of Laksh. Ragini looked at the clock: 10 PM. Everyone should be in bed by now, she thought. She again crept down to the kitchen. And again she saw a dim light coming from the cracked door down the short hall. She walked slowly toward the door and peeked through the crack.

Ragini didn’t see anything for a moment but then he walked into her narrow view. He must have just gotten out of the tub because his hair was wet and curly and water droplets covered his back and shoulders. He had a big white towel wrapped low around his waist. which enabled her to see his immaculate physique.
Damn! she thought to herself. Where do I put the quarter for another peep show? She let out a single giggle and slapped her hand over her mouth.
