One more thing if u have patience to wait for the next part then only read it coz I am hell azy and slow in writing and uploading thiese stories.before that some lines composed by me…my creative side is getting improved I guess ,that’s why a shayari,I hope u like it:
Teri saanso se meri dhadkan hai….
Teri har aah pe yeh dil bechain hai…
Tu meri zindagi hai…….
Teri siwaah kahan mera jahan hai…..
so lets start:
A girl was drawing something on blackboard while her long silky hair were moving here and there with her body moment.her eyes had a naughty twinkle and her twisted lips were playing a mischievous smirk ,she turned around and dusted her hands which had chalk on it.”tadaa”she said attracting the attention of the whole class showing her masterpiece.her face is shown and she is our ragini ,she is wearing light blue denim jeans and a grey coloured crop top.
“Ragini what have u made?dont u think u should flatten the tummy a bit………. just two hairs on his head,the professor will surely die looking at his horrible sketch”said kavya and burst out laughing .”oh hello madam,atleast I am doing something but you all are sitting lethargically,not even helped me…..”said ragini pouting angrily.”yaaa its better to not contribute then to give a heart attack to our new professor who just arrived”sahil hi-fied with his friend saying this.”its just a warm up welcome and nothing else”said ragini defending herself.”and how do you know that this kalakari,what you call sketch will be exact like our professor whom we haven’t even seen,leave him atleast for today,………”said sahil shaking his head thinking of her answer.”no these history teachers torture us a lot by giving the bore lectures and then failing us in semesters,so I have to also give some kind of gurudakshina naa and what could be better than this ,see what a masterpiece……….and from my expreince teachers are like this only,oldies with white hair and a tummy that is ready to jump out of their shirts”said ragini turning towards the blackboard and admired her work.”yaa ragini wont change…before the teacher takes our class,ye unki khatiya khadi kar deti hai,afterall she has to keep the honour of the name ‘daku rani’ robbing off all the sukh –chan of teachers who came to teach our section”said kavya giving a glare to ragini.”oh please don’t start your pravachan now I am not interested in your moral values chapter”said ragini huffing looking at her.”ragini that’s why we love you ,you top the class but care for us too and save us from the teachers”said kavya giving an apologetic look.”oye makhan marne ki zaroorat nhi hai tujhe,u know I cant be angry on u”said ragini moving towards kavya and hugging her.”that’s like my best friend”kavya said complying to her hug.they parted away and ragini said smirking”I hope the new professor is nice or else I will make him nice”.
Someone is shown walking in corridor of the college,dressed in formals with a white shirt on and black trousers with some books in his hands,spectacle on his eyes and his hair combed properly(just like abhimanyu look of laksh).he adjusts his specs and looks at the room no. 7 and enters in,his full face is shown with the sunlight falling on his face making him more charismatic,he is laksh .as he enters he sees a girl’s back facing him who was moving backwards without looking back.she collided with him and turned around giving him a weird look.their eyes met which led to a spark in both their eyes creating unknown feelings in their hearts.she came to reality and every1 around stood up from their seats.”bro what will ragini do with him?”said kartik to sahil whispering in his ears.”who are u?and y have you worn formals?u r here to study or to work?”said ragini with attitude scanning him from top to bottom.”well leave about me tell me about urself ,u r here to study or to rag the teachers who come to teach u”laksh said with equal intensity looking around.”u r our new history professor?”asked kavya a little scared from behind ragini.laksh titled his head and looked at kavya nodding his head.kavya held ragini’s hand and took her to seat looking at laksh’s stern face and forcing a smile.”he is our professor but…….he is too young like seriously ,how could someone become a teacher that too a professor in college,I think he uses dye ,colours his hairs”ragini whispered in kavya’s ear while the latter was dragging her.”oh what about his wrinkles?”kavya too joined in her stupidity ,after friends hai.”hmm I think bo-tox(I don’t know what actually it is,so don’t take it seriously)”ragini said twisting her lips and sat besides kavya on the front bench.
Laksh turned towards blackboard and saw a sketch below which was written ‘welcome new history professor’.he gave an unbelievable look and said rubbing the sketch”u better showcase ur talent in art class and not here”.ragini huffed angrily and concentrated on her book but still his black orbs revolved in her mind which mesmerized her in one go.she shook her head and came to reality muttering”he is khadoos and nothing else,get that”.the lecture was interesting than other classes and ragini was impressed surprisingly by his teaching skillsand mind it ,it was one of impossible things in the world but if she’s ragini then he is also laksh.laksh went from there giving evry1 a light smile.
“he is too young to be a professor,so handsome,well I never saw any professor like that”said kavya dreamily sitting beside ragini in canteen.”hmmm”ragini agreed unknowingly while kavya looked at her shocked.”I mean he is so different from others,his way of teaching its just ……awesome”said ragini covering up biting her tongue inside.kavya nodded and continued munching her chips.
#########################################################
“its been 1 month since he came but u didn’t do anything with him,why yaar?”said sahil sitting in front of ragini and kavya who were lost in their books.”hello I m talking to u”sahil reminded them wen found no answer.”because he has not done anything still,also his way of teaching doesn’t bother us……….and till he does something our daku rani wont take a step ahead”kavya told sahil looking up from her book and staring straight into his eyes.his heart always skipped a beat whenever kavya saw him or talked to him and still he hided his feelings.
“if she wont do it then y r we here,we can do it,so plan 1 starts today only”rajat came from behind with a devilish smirk.”wat r u gonna do?”asked a curious and doubtful ragini in a dangerous tone.”well u will see it in minutes,jst concentrate on board’’rajat winked and saw laksh coming to class.evry1 greeted him and ragini was puzzled about rajat’s plan.laksh got up to write on board and ragini saw a nail cuming out from edge of board. ”if his cloth get stuck in it then it will tear and……”she shook her head thinking of consequences and got up form her seat.”excuse me sir”ragini said attracting his attention.laksh who was facing blackboard turned around and his hand got pierced by the nail sharply,blood was oozing out of his hand like running water and ragini rushed to him.”sir cum,fast,u have to go to medical room,god,how much u r hurt”ragini said teary eyed taking laksh to medical room,every1 behind was left dumbstruck seeing ragini’s concern for a teacher afterall ragini kisi par itni jaldi meherbaan nahi hoti..”ragini nothing has happened to me,I m fyn”laksh said trying to console ragini who was hell worried.”fyn?u r bleeding sir”ragini made him sit on seat and looked around for nurse.”here’s no nurse,why do they leave at tym of need”ragini said frustrated searching first aid box.”sir it will hurt a little ok,so have courage”ragini said pouring dettol on his wound and turned her eyes to see him hurt.”I m fyn,now if u can proceed,do the dressing too”laksh said In a normal tone.ragini turned around and did his dressing carefully to not hurt him.”doc u came,pls see him once,he got hurt by nail”ragini said tensedly to doc. who jst entered the room.”hmm laksh sir,u should get the tetanus injection,wait I will give u”said doc. Examining his wound and turned to him with a big injection in his hand.ragini gulped in fear and looked at laksh painfully,”I only started this norm of ragging teachers,now see wat all is happening to him,jst bcoz of me,I m sorry”she said in mind feeling hurt.the needle pierced his skin and ragini held his shoulder tightly closing her eyes.”ragini its done,u can open ur eyes”laksh said smiling.ragini removed her hands from his shoulder and rushed from there feeling an alien emotion inside her heart.
###########################################
“rajat how dare u do this?”ragini asked turning rajat furiously who was eating lunch in canteen.”oh come on,u do it all the tym,and if I did it once,u r behaving lyk I committed a crime”rajat said giving her an angry glare.”oh so it started bcoz of me naa,then I ragini gadodia announce that from now on,I wont even dare to raise my voice in front of any teacher”ragini announced standing on a table giving rajat a death glare,evry1 gasped to digest this fact that their lone saviour has resigned but ragini paid no heed to any1 and went from there warning rajat.”she has hurt my ego very much,she shouldn’t have done this”rajat said his eyes emiitng fire.
“yes nanu,I m fyn no need to worry,no no I m not crying”ragini said to her nanu trying to control her sobs.”ok bye”she cut the call not able to hold her emotions much.she ran to store room and sobbed there silently thinking of her mother,it was her death anniversary.”maa why did u left me?”ragini said caressing her mother’s smiling face on her phone.rajat passed from there and saw her sitting on floor,he smirked evilly.”its not much,jst a little lesson”rajat exclaimed closing door of the store room silently.after some tym ragini wiped her tears composing herself and tried opening the door but it didn’t opened.”hello any1 there?”ragini asked huffing in anger but she wanted some lone time so she sat there pondering over her moments with her mom.no one came to her rescue ,few hrs passed and as a result of no eating she fainted on the floor,the college was deserted by now with no student seen anywhere.
ragini opened her eyes with much struggle and moved her heavy lids looking around.”hello any1 there,pls open the door”she requested gathering the left energy in her.”open the door”she started sobbing looking around the scary environment.”open the door”she said hearing some footsteps from outside.”ragini r u inside?”laksh said from outside,worried.”laksh sir,pls help me,I m stuck here”ragini said controlling her sobs.”ragini relax ,I will jst bring the keys”laksh said softly.”no sir don’t leave me,I m alone here”ragini pleaded him.laksh was amazed to see a new side of the bold and brave ragini but now was not a time to think about it so he dropped it.”ragini,ok…….ok I m not going ,u jst lean to the door and concentrate on my voice”he advised her and opened sumthing on his phone.”hmm”ragini did as he said.”u r too stubborn ,u know that,always doing wat u want,sumtyms u should listen to others,thoda bhala ho jayega logon ka,ok tell me,wat were u doing that it took so late,always getting into problems, I know u like to do such stunts so that someone comes and saves u…..”laksh’s voice reached her ears while at other side laksh ran to the key room and hurriedly grabbed store room keys and ran like thunder back to her.”ragini I have got the keys,I m opening the door,don’t worry”he said panting heavily.he opened the door and sighed looking at a fyn ragini.ragini without thinking anything hugged him tightly and muttered”I was so scared sir,it was too dark”.laksh caressed her hair and parted her away from him but found a fainted ragini.
”oh god how she fainted?”laksh said worried.”ragini get up”laksh said moving towards his car holding her in bridal style.”ragini r u fyn?”he asked seeing moment in her eyes.”yes I m fyn”ragini said feebly.”u seem to be really weak,cum lets have dinner”laksh said moving to driving seat.”no sir its not needed”ragini treid to speak but laksh stopped her and drove to a dhaba.”I hope u could eat here”he said shrinking his eyes to which ragini giggled nodding her head.”thank u so much sir,after long tym,ate such gud food”ragini said throwing her hands in air rejuvenating herself.laksh smiled and dropped her to her home bidding her a gud nyt.
”how did we recognize eo’s voice even after not seeing each other,but how did he got the key if he was talking with me,ahh leave it,he helped you that’s only the major concern so chil and give rest to your brain”ragini thought sitting on her bed and smiled blushing a little.
######################################################
“sir”ragini called out laksh when he was moving towards staff room.all the teachers inside turned towards her looking at her like she’s an alien.she looked towards them and said innocently”what?”.the teachers shrugged their shoulders gulping in fear and got to their work.”I guess now it laksh’s turn to get ragged by this daaku rani”sanskar whispered in other teacher’s ear giving a sorry look to laksh.guess ragini heard it and glared sanskar like he is not the teacher but her junior whom she is about to rag.sanskar looked opposite side sensing her glare.”yes,ragini,you wanted to say something”laksh broke her threatening business and she turned to him with a sweet smile.
“yes sir,actually I wanted to say thank you and……….sorry……….for y’day”
“its ok,no need of such thing,it was my duty ……….but why sorry?”
“woah I hugged you without thinking anything……..so……”
Both looked here and there but not towards each other.laksh was a little embrassed while some unknown feelings were creeping ragini’s heart and she didn’t knew what it was or why it was.
“its ok,its normal human instinct…”laksh said maintaining his composure.ragini nodded and went from there.”wat happened to you ragini,u never behave like this?”ragini questioned herself.while laksh remembered the scene and a smile crept on his lips.”hey did she do anything to you?”sanskar asked worried to laksh.laksh nodded in negative and looked at him confused.”ya ,you are new so you don’t know anything about her,let me tell you,she is daaku rani,like students rag their juniors she rags the professors,and why?bcoz they give a lot of projects and after that too not full marks,mr. awasthi ran away from here due to their class only……..so you also beware.”sanskar told him like a big brother and laksh listened to it keenly.laksh nodded and went from their to attend the classes.”I didn’t thought behind that sweet smile such devil is hidden”laksh thought nodding his head in disbelief.
######################################################
“ragini no teacher is ready to go with us on camp,see na….”kavya said running towards her faking a cry.
“kavya,chill dear,we will surely get a teacher ,by hook or by crook”ragini smirked.
“but u said u wont tease any professor then how? Are u gonna return to ur old avatar?”kavya asked innocently.
“no,actually,our class’s track record is good with laksh sir so we will request him to come”ragini said smiling encircling her hands around her shoulder.kavya smiled at her hugging her tightly muttering”you are the best”
“sir,actually I wanted to request something”ragini said hesitant in front of laksh.”how easy it sounded,just request him and he will say yes but see here I am standing like statue and my class they didn’t even turned up to stand with me,huh”ragini thought in mind.
“what is it ragini?”laksh asked looking straight into her eyes making ragini more nervous.she looked out of window and found kavya and sahil showing her thumps up,she nodded and taking a deep breath said in one go”could u please come with us on the camp,no else teacher is ready,I promise you wont have any problem with us,we wont do anything that will harm you or others,please sir this is our last camp and we want to make it memorable,please”
laksh looked at her in disbelief and nodded his head saying a “yes” quickly and went from there.”if sanskar told me the truth then I guess she isn’t the ragini or she is just acting,god knows,I hope its not acting”laksh thought while leaving from the room.
Ragini stood there like a statue.she had never felt so nervous and anxious anytime while talking to any professor but …but he wasn’t any ainvayi professor but her crush,yes he was,when she saw him for first time she fell for his looks but with time she fell for his calm and peaceful nature ,giving solace to her all time restless soul.something attracted her towards him more and more,maybe that enigmatic aura around him made her more interested in him,that unexplainable look in his eyes,the emotion she felt connected with made her such a person she wasn’t.
Kavya and sahil looked at each other confused as ragini didn’t even gave a smile to them after the confirmation of laksh’s sir.they stared at each other losing themselves.”why don’t you confess your feelings sahil?i know you love me and me too but still why cant you?”kavya thought painfully,”I don’t know kavya if you would reciprocate my feelings or not par fir bhi main tumko chahunga(half-girlfriend effect..hehe)….till my last breath”sahil whispered in his heart.they came to reality hearing ragini’s voice.
“hello?you too!where are you lost?sometimes I think you are love birds but then I slap myself for this thought”ragini said irritated to which kavhil frowned.”couldn’t it be possible?could not we both fall in love”sahil prayed eyeing kavya from corner of his eyes.”come lets go”kavya said composing while sahil and ragini nodded.”I said them lost and seems I was in same situation a minute before”ragini shook her head helplessly.
###########################################
“come on guys lets celebrate we are going to the camp and we have to make it memorable”rajat stood on canteen with their section’s students surrounding him,everyone smiled to it and hooted and clapped.ragyahil reached there and gave rajat a death glare.rajat moved towards them in his own stupid ego smirking like idiot.”sorry babes you got late in giving the good news”rajat neared ragini a little.ragini tightened her fist while sahil gave him an angry glare moving forward to which kavya held his arm to stop him and pointed towards ragini.ragini moved forward and patted rajat’s shoulder saying”oh well I didn’t even wanted to be an announcer,I am not the one who takes the credit of everything……and I don’t understand are you in school?you act like a kid who fights over such small things and…”rajat sniffed in irritation and raised his eyebrow”and?”.ragini twisted his arm to his back smirking wickedly and said”I am not your babes get that!”.rajat faked a laugh groaning in her hold,must say she is really strong and said”hmmm again giving that attitude ,I guess I have to teach you a lesson….again” making ragini confused and she understood he only had locked her in the room.she realeased him from her grip making him face her and gave him a sarcastic smile which was soon replaced by anger”I feel sad for you,you are also no different from the other orthodox people.if a girl stands up you have a problem,it hurts your ego.you are also an mcp,self obsessed with your pride and ego”.rajat gave her a i-don’t-care-look and ragini continued”hmm…main hi pagal hu diwar par apna sar phodne ke bajay I should leave it cause you wont change your mentality and I wont change my attitude so its better stay away”she said last words in the most dangerous tone ever to which evryone gulped in fear.if she says anything in this tone you have to take it seriously or the consequences could be bad.
Seeing a whole lot of students standing in canteen in a circle made laksh curious and he went there and found ragini threatening rajat”stay away” which made him get a cold feet.”she is actually dangerous but then why she behaves sweet with me” laksh thought and went from there.
#############################################
“sahil would you answer me a question honestly?”ragini asked sitting beside him in the bus,sahil nodded cautisouly.”do you love someone?”ragini analysed his expressions and found him as pale as a ghost.sahil composed and said ,stammering”no…nooo”.”oh,ok,then”ragini pouted sadly.”waise you have to tolerate me bcoz kavya aint coming on the trip,sorry bro”ragini said sympathetically.”what?why?is she fine?”sahil almost screamed,worry visible in his every word.ragini smirked and sahil understood and pouted innocently.”so you don’t love anyone?”ragini smirked and it was sahil’s turn to confess.”yes…actually I love kavya since our first year,her beautiful smile,her innocent face and her cute talks ……..just made me fall for her more……and most importantly her being with you in every situation,giving you the strength…..i always wanted someone so encouraging and inspiring”sahil said dreamily and ragini admired his love for her bestie.”duffer,toh ab tak tu goonga kyun bana hua tha?why didn’t you tell her?stupid you are…..”ragini hit him on his head slightly.”I feared…I feared ki kahin usne na kardi toh….i wont be able to bear that pain and above that if our friendship also breaks…I wont be able to tolerate that she wont speak a single word to me”sahil got a little emotional while ragini rubbed his shoulder.”but sahil,agar tune nahin kaha toh?toh bhi toh tu use kho dega,think about it,ek baar try toh kar…….aur waise bhi I think she also likes you”ragini encouraged him while he looked at her surprisingly.”really?”sahil asked with a blush while ragini nodded.”waise tujhe pata kaise chala?”sahil asked and ragini said”uss din you two were staring each other like love birds and also whenever you both were near you always did some stupidity ,spoke foolish things and always trying to think of ideas to talk to her”ragini explained this while laksh entred the bus from behind.”you will help me?”sahil requested her and ragini blinked her eyes in return.”but what would I say to her?how will she react?”sahil bit his invisible nails while ragini giggled seeing his anxiety.”simple just say I love you”ragini said with a wide smile while sahil rolled his eyes in tension and laksh who was passing them to sit on his seat heard that and muttered”this girl is really impossible ,she thinks of love as a game or what?say I love you?hmmm..it aint so simple”and he rests his luggage on his seat.
Kavya steps in the bus and sahil looks towards the door losing himself in her while kavya blushes with her head down.ragini smirks and elbows him saying”ohho,someone is truly in love” while sahil rubs his hair admiring kavya.kavya moves towards them and stands in front of her passing a smile to both of them.”why are you blushing kavya?……leave that sorry yaar it’s a two-sitter you wont be able to sit here find some other place”ragini pouted sadly while sahil made a puppy face and kavya’s glowing face turned dull.kavya said an okay and moved to sit besides laksh while sahil looked on helplessly.kavya turned back to look at ragini and sahil giving a fake smile.
“what you did?see she got sad…”sahil complained.”pyar mein judai use aur bhi badha deti hai sahil babu wait and watch”ragini said proudly and looked towards kavya and her eyes fell on laksh sir.he was looking outside the window with a smile playing on his lips which brought a smile on her face too which didn’t went unnoticed by kavhil.
“laksh I just love nature,its so peaceful”a girl said to laksh while he had a smile on his lips.he opened his eyes and found kavya besides him and looked up.”sir wo I didn’t had any other seat so…..”kavya withdrawed while laksh nodded and went to his sight seeing again.kavya looked at sahil again while some restlessness was shadowing over her seeing ragini and sahil laughing and smiling.
“I guess the plan is working,she had looked 10th time here in these 5 minutes”sahil said happily.ragini smiled and nodded.”ok when we will stop for food I will exchange my place with her,you know naa I cant see her sad”ragini pouted sadly while in heart she thought”I will have to sit with laksh sir”and a shiver ran down her spine with this thought.
“ragini please sing a song naa”kavya said to ragini while she nodded,laksh looked at her surprisingly thinking”she knows singing too”.”which song?”ragini asked and sahil said something in her ears to with ragini smirked.
Ragini sang”kyonki itna pyar tumko………Karte hai hum………..
Kya janoge hamari sanam”
“my favourite song”kavya whispered and smiled looking towards sahil while laksh looked at her in awe to which ragini developed a pink texture on her cheeks.she hummed the tune and sang further.
kyonki itna pyar tumko………Karte hai hum………..-2
kya janoge hamari sanam
hamare dil ki tum thodi si kadar karlo
hum tumpe marte hai thodi si fikar kar lo
fikar kar lo………..
laksh started singing “kyonki itna pyar tumko karte hai hum……….”surprising everyone while ragini’s heart danced with joy to his voice,the words seemed so meaninigful to her in his magical voice unknown that this is making his place deeper in her heart.
And they started singing the song together synchroninsing beautifully as if the voices are made for each other.they finished the song and looked at each other only to have a brief eye-lock while everyone clapped bringing them out of their trance.”you sing too well sir”kavya said smiling widely and now it was sahil’s turn to get jealous.ragini looked at him and shook her head in disbelief.“come guys,we are stopping for lunch”laksh said to everyone and everyone went down.
”sir come sit with us”kavya said offering him a seat beside ragini at the dhaba while sahil looked on sadly.laksh nodded and sat besides her.
“ragini have some chillies yaar,you are eating like a sick person”sahil said forwarding green chillies to her.”no,she doesn’t like them”laksh said even before ragini could speak making kavhil surprised while ragini looked at him lovingly.
“sir I don’t like chillies”ragini said when he took her to dhaba for dinner after her rescue.laksh nodded and ate silently.ragini started hiccupping suddenly making laksh tense.”ragini are you fine?”laksh said rubbing her back with one hand while his another hand was busy in making her drink water.”mirchiiii”ragini said between her hiccups.laksh smiled a little remembering something and patted her back.they came out of their flashback.
“sir how do you know?even sahil doesn’t know this..”kavya questioned thinking.ragini stiffened to it while laksh looked here and there because it was kinda weird if they say we went for dinner afterall they are not classmates but student and professor and above that ragini’s rapo with teacher was..you must have got to know by now.taking ragini’s plead to not tell them about their dinner laksh lied”I heard it one day while passing by canteen”,kavhil nodded.
“sahil help me in washing hands naa,my both hands are dirty”kavya pouted cutely showing her curry smudged hands to him,sahil pulled her cheeks muttering an aww and moved towards the washbasin.raglak admired them.”only if you had been with me”laksh thought with a sad sigh.”so cute,I wish I get someone who cares for me the most”ragini thought and automatically her gaze shifted to laksh who was looking dull.
“sir thanks for hiding it,you know how it would have felt..”ragini thanked him and apologized while laksh nodded lost somewhere which ragini noticed.to lift his mood she started speaking”waise sir you remembered my resistance to chillies,how?”,laksh looked at her weirdly because her tone didn’t seemed of consoling or light but……flirty.he gulped his saliva in hesistation smiling awkwardly and thought in mind”I think she is trying to tease me by her daaku rani avatar,hmm I will also see” and spoke to her in with equal intensity “not every professser rescues their student and above that go on dinner with them so the memory was quite distinct in my mind”he finished it with a mischievous smirk.now ragini looked at him wide eyed to his this side and thought in mind”is he trying to flirt with me?he is our sir and why would he?but his tone…..”twisted her lips staring towards her plate.”what did I do?why am I behaving like her?if she flirts doesn’t mean I also do the same thing!i am much mature than her I should have handled her maturely…..what would she think now?”laksh thought biting his nails in nervousness.
Kavya and sahil reached there blushing like red tomato but were confused by their behavior and looked at each other and then at them.”sir ,ragini what are you both doing?”sahil asked raising his eyebrows bringing raglak out of their dreamland.”if you guys want food you can go to food counter,no need of biting nails(looking towards laksh)or staring your plate as if it will grow food(eyeing ragini suspiciously)”kavya said giggling.raglak rasied their heads and looked at them with utter innocence looking too adorable.ragini faked a laugh and retorted back “please improve your sense of humour or you are surely gonna give me a heart attack some day,such bad jokes…….”and she sighs softly.everyone finished their lunch and went in bus.
##################
“ragini you have to sit with laksh sir,you remember our plan ,know?”sahil shook her softly to which ragini nodded helplessly and looked towards kavya and laksh.”kavya you sit with sahil,he is boring me to death by his good for nothing jokes,just like you,so go there and let me have some peace here”ragini sniffed and pushed kavya towards sahil’s seat who seemed excited but trying to hide her feelings..ragini looked at laksh from top to bottom ,actually checking him out,he was looking like a greek god,in his ripped denim jeans,white shirt and above that a black leather jacket,discarding his boring formals and his specs which hid his black orbs from them.”he looks so cute”ragini squeaked happily and sat beside him.only one glare of laksh was enough to make her restless and she turned her head other side and putting earplugs leaning back on the seat tried to distract herself from her overflowing affection and thoughts for her professor but wasn’t successful.”you need something?”laksh asked in his husky voice to which ragini nodded no.”was she checking me out?”laksh thought and gave himself a mental slap for his stupid thought.
”peace here?what just I said to kavya ?huh?i am getting tortured here.why is this happening?i am more restless than ever.my erratic heartbeat and this nervousness is killing me.this growing attraction towards him,no no I should control it,its just infatuation,yes, and above that he is my professor………but I cant…..just cant stop these feelings………..but what’s wrong in this?maybe its love…..maybe,and its our final year after that we wont have that teacher student relation,I would be free of this then I could propose him …….what?propose?ragini confirm your feelings first and then speak.ok so now I have to find out what I feel for him…….but how?”ragini thought faking a cry that only laksh noticed,he looked at her as if she’s an alien and noticing his gaze she turned towards him losing her heart again.
“ragini are you fine?why were you making faces?”laksh asked concerned.”wo….wo actually i..i was thinking something……ya…I …I needed to talk to nanu,I am missing him…..ya”ragni covered somehow and laksh nodded still suspicious.”only nanu can answer it,yes”ragini thought with a hope.
“kavya do you like someone”sahil aksed with much strength.kavya blushed to this and nodded her head but then her gaze shifted to ragini who was lost in her own world.”sahil don’t you think ragini is behaving weirdly from some days….she has changed”kavya said while sahil was irritated and said under his breath”wow,both friends are the same,talking and caring just about others and not about self,amazing”.”you said something “kavya inquired to which he smiled shaking his head.”waise I think its because of laksh sir,ya after his arrival she shed her daaku rani avatar and now she is behaving like a typical girl,shying,crying,blushing and all”sahil said bluntly.”what?does that mean…….that…”kavya said excited which sahil completed “that she’s in love with laksh sir”and they both smiled brightly at each other for their achievement and hugged each other tightly.”I cant believe my ragu’s in lov,wow,atlast someone came for her”kavya said in his embrace while everyone looked at them questionably which embrassed them and they broke their hug and looked at everyone muttering a sorry but two people were happy,our raglak ,ragini because her friends found their soulmates in each other and laksh because he could see true love in their eyes .
“ahh.leave it all kavya but does ragini knows it?i mean it doesn’t seem so.”sahil said sadly to which kavya nodded and looked towards them and grinned widely “I have a plan”and she winked at sahil.sahil looked confused but smirked when she told her plan.”kavya actually I want to say something….”sahil was hesitant while kavya was confused.”now what?”kavya asked.”wo actually,I …..i love…….you”sahil said taking a deep breath and kavya looked at him shocked but soon it turned into a smile and she kept her hand on his muttering softly”I love you too”.and they both smiled shyly.
“this love birds couldn’t they handle their emotions,distracted me,but I should leave them for now and talk to nanu”ragini self talked making laksh smile a bit.ragini messaged her nanu and after talking for few minutes like that she typed him-what’s love but deleted it as some memories came in her mind and kept the phone aside.

“guys we have reached ,get down”laksh said standing outside the bus while students came out lazily.”everyone out?”laksh asked and kavya said”sir ragini is inside,she’s sleeping”.”wake her up”laksh said strictly to which kavya made a puppy face and said”sir I tried but she isn’t waking up,I guess apni saalon ki neend puri kar rahi hai,please sir you go na”.laksh nodded his head in disbelief and moved inside blaberring”really her sense of humour is worse”.laksh shook ragini a bit but she didn’t even flinched.”ragini get up,we are here”laksh patted her cheeks softly.”sone do naa”she said softly and held his hand resting her head back cuddling like a child.laksh lost himself in her for a moment but composed himself and shook her harshly making her almost jump and her head hit the bus’s top.”ouch,you idiot couldn’t you wake me up like a human”ragini said without noticing laksh before her and rubbing her head.laksh forwarded his hand and kept on her head rubbing softly blowing air,it was then that she realised it was laksh.while rubbing her head he spoke”I tried like a human but it seems you just needed this kind of treatment”.”sir you……..i …I am coming down”ragini said looking down.”ragini you are hurt,its swallowed,wait for a minute”laksh said concerned.ragini looked into his black orbs and drowned herself in them,she felt a kind of happiness ,a relief that she couldn’t get till now to see care and concern and maybe some love no no if its even care then with that only she’s happy.”come down and take your luggage too”laksh said breaking the eyelock and moving down.”one moment he is the gentleman,a girl wishes for and in another,he says take your luggage,does anyone do this to an injured girl”ragini twisted her lips and got down.kavhil wished her with a warm smile.”had good sleep”kavya teased her but ragini is no less “yaa but I guess someone enjoyed more than me”ragini noticed their joined hands and smirked .kavya blushed and hugged her.
“make your camps guys before the sunlight disappears”laksh said looking around.”ragini tuck that rope to that nail naa”kavya said to her and ragini moved towards it but was trapped with ropes and about to fall.laksh reached their and caught her on time by her shoulders,her back was facing him and his both hands were on her shoulders while she had closed her eyes tightly.she opened them and looked at an angry laksh.”sir I am sorry” ragini said scared.”ragini where is your attention,if you would have fallen,already you are hurt”laksh said composing himself and straightening her.he was about to leave but noticed her trapped in ropes.he kneeled down and one by one untied her ropes while ragini looked at him awestruck.”done,you go and take rest now”laksh said and went from there.”if a guy could come to your feet to help you,even after being senior you are surely special to him or he respects women a lot,so respect them more in return”ragini remembered her nanu’s words and smiled contently.
They had dinner near a bonfire chit-chatting and singing ,dancing while ragini stole glances from laksh and kavhil smirked looking at her.

Dawn was about to break disturbing her sleep and she went out of her bed and stood near a hill top which was few steps away throwing her hands in air inhaling the fresh breath with a beautiful smile.she felt someone’s presence beside her and opened her eyes to look for the intruder and she noticed him standing right beside her.
“sir,you here in the morning”ragini was astonished.”good morning ragini”laksh said with a sweet smile and looking around continued”like you I am also a nature lover and I guess it’s a public place so I can come here besides I am an early riser”.ragini nodded and looked towards the rising sun which has texture of orange and yellow giving a slight warmth to them.she wrapped her scarf around her shoulder and inhaled the air which now had his fragrance in it.
“you cant get up early na?you are such a kumbhkaran”a girl said to a yawning laksh making him pout.he cane back to reality and looked towards the rising sun.”I will wait for you aahana”he said in mind and prayed for her well being.they returned back to camp after admiring the nature for some more time.

Laksh gathered the students and announced some camp related things.”you have to be with your team and go after informing someone,if you want”,”collect the soil samples you are prescribed and try not to damage the nature””on last day we will have race to that hill top”pointing towards a hill which seemed far.
“this soil is perfect and with this the task gets completed”laksh said examining samples of soils they collected and loked for other students who were still busy in searching for soil.”rajt re you done?”laksh asked in his stern voice to which rajat nodded and looked towards a plant and smirked.”sir that plant is used as herb and its precious,may I go to get it?”rajat asked in obedient voice.”you wait,I will get it,its far and I don’t want you people to get hurt”laksh said concerned and moved to it.
Laksh was about to pluck it when ragini held his hand and looked at him worried.laksh was boggled and asked her”what happened?you are looking tense…”.ragini left his hand and warned him not to touch the plants.”but ragini for the final project you need soil samples and some plants sample,I am just helping out rajat”laksh reasoned out.”no sir,this plant is poisonous,if you touch it you may get infected,I have read about it in ayurveda books”ragini presented her view which seemed right to laksh and they descended down.”thanks,for saving me”laksh said to which ragini smiled and said”we are equal now,you helped me once and now me so no need for this”.laksh nodded and they continued their talks.”waise sir which student were you helping to get that plant?”ragini was curios to know.”rajat,I think he was mistaken”laksh said thinking.ragini fumed hearing his name but cooled down as an idea striked her mind.both reached back while kavhil showed thumps-up to each other and said”its time to confront her”.seeing laksh normal rajat’s face fell but he composed himself.

At night rajat started jumping on his bed which disturbed other students sleep and everyone came out to see what was happening.he hopped from here to there itching his every part possible.ragini smirked looking at him.”somebody help me,please”he cried for help and ragini went to a tub kept there and taking water from it splashed on rajat.he shouted angrily while everyone glared her but in no time rajat got relief andhe looked around embrassed.laksh neared him and asked him the matter while ragini went in his camp and came out with some wild plantswrapped carefully in hanky.
“whats this?”laksh asked.ragini spoke”sir it a wild plants which causes itchiness.i guess he sleep keeping it in his bed and so this itching”.laksh nodded and patted rajat’s back ,after deserting him to his bed ,he came out and warned everyone”look around for yourselves,it’s a forest ,be careful”.evryone nodded and went from there.
Ragini had a satisfied smile on her face and she went in her bed thinking something.she had seen rajat keeping those itchy shrubs thinking it to be a herb but she didn’t warned him due to his lie to laksh which he confessed to his friends during same time laughing evilly.she waited for this drama to happen and felt peace that he got punished for his behavoiur.kavhil coughed to bring her to reality while she looked at them puzzled.she sat on her bed and kavhil gave her a sharp look while she gulped in fear asking a what?
“you love him right?”sahil asked smirking.ragini widened her eyes,she didn’t saw this coming and muttered a no quickly.”don’t lie ragini,I have noticed to watching him lovingly,you cant lie now”kavya said sharply.”no I don’t believe me guys”ragini tried lieing but they wont budge.”tell us”both said in a serious tone.”you wont believe me naa”ragini asked innocently while they shook their heads.”hmm,I actually like him…..a lot……I don’t know if its love or not,but my heart always skips a beat seeing him,his happiness matters to me the most,if he gets hurt,it pierces my heart,I want him to be around me,I could give everything to see a smile on his face,I don’t know why I get nervous in front of him but still my heart wants to enjoy this feel…….his one frown worries me,I want to cherish every moment with him,I just want to live around him,sacrifice myself on him”she said softly remembering her moments with him.kavhil smiled to her confession and hugged her tight from either sides.”what happened?”she asked worried breaking her trance.”love happened”kavhil said still hugging her.”what?”ragini asked not understanding.”ohho hamari bondhu ragini,you are in love”sahil said hitting her forehead with his side of forehead.”I cant believe hamari daku rani ko usko professor se pyaar ho gaya hai,wow”kavya screeched happily resting her head on ragini’s shoulder.”I am in love”ragini said smiling with a blush.”propose him tomorrow only”kavya said and ragini nodded happily touching kavhil’s cheeks with her hands and nodding in yes.
************************************
“so students today is your last day and as you know your race to the hill top is today only,so lets get started”laksh said excited .
“come on ragu don’t be nervous ,we are with you”kavya said rubbing ragini’s shoulder who was giving a nervous smile to her and nodded thoughtfully.sahil looked towards laksh with a smile and thought”I hope he says yes”.
“this would be an individual competition so guys be ready,I will be waiting for you all on the hill top”lksh gave the instructions and left for the place.”yes,ragu,it’s the best chance,go win this race and propose him on the hill top,wow so romantic it would be”kavya squeled happily while raginii bit her nails.she wanted to open up about her feelings to him but somehow she was scared ,what if he would hate her after this,what if he leaves the college due to her and other what ifs……..but kavhil stood by her side supporting her.
The race started and everyone was eager to get to the earliest on the hill top but our ragu’s inspiration was way more powerful than these so she hurried her way to the hill top not caring bout any bruises she got or anything. She took a deep breath seeing her manzil standing in front of her,her love.
He stood there in the scorching heat waiting for students to come but being bored he took to sight seeing and observed the whole jungle from there with every dense canopy visible from his sight giving a solace to him to see such beauty of nature.he was disturbed by a coughing voice and turned around to find ragini standing there.he approached her with a smile and congratulated her for being the winner while ragini looked at him with pale face.
“what happened ,are you alright?”laksh got worried seeing her like this.she closed her eyes taking a deep breath and opened them with courage to confess her love leaving behind the what ifs.
“ragini are you fine?why aren’t you speaking,did you got hurt?did you touched any wild plants that caused this numbness,are you fine?”laksh kept on muttering while ragini suddenly cut him in between and spoke”I love you”.laksh looked at her flabbergasted and moved few steps behind,he hadn’t expected even in his dreams that one of his students would say this and specially ragini after hearing her karnaame as daku rani,nope not at all.
Ragini looked at him trying to see through his eyes what is going in his mind but was quite nervous to do so.silence prevailed for a brief time and laksh opened his sealed lips to answer her”no ragini I don’t love you.i am sorry if you anytime felt anything from my side but this kind of feeling I could never have for you.i am sorrybut lets keep this relation of student and teacher only “.ragini’s world crashed in a few seconds hearing his cold reply and tears of hurt emerged in her eyes while laksh moved his face toher side waiting for other students to come.
