Episode 3
Owner nods “And the other is—”
They hear lots of noise and turn to look at its direction outside….
Ragini also looks at once….
She keeps her wand back carefully in the box… Takes out the scarf from her neck and covers her face such that only her eyes are visible…
She runs out of the shop… Just as she runs out, Lakshya enters the shop to collect his wand…
Shekhar (Screaming) “Dont get yourself in trouble…!!!! This girl!!!”
Ragini runs out of the shop where an old witch was screaming for help…
Witch “Plz catch hold of him… He snatched my bag… It had my wand as well….”
Ragini nods and runs behind the man….
The man runs really fast so does Ragini…
He is about to sit on his broom just when Ragini picks up a pumpkin from the moving hand vehicle, and aims at him…
It hits the man straight to his head and he falls down… Ragini runs to him and picks him up by his collar…
She snatches the bag from his hand with her free hand “Instead of snatching other’s things,learn to earn your own…”
She leaves him and turns to go when the man pushes her from back and she falls down… He takes out his own wand and is about to curse her just when a voice freezes him…
“Stupefy”
Ragini looks in the direction of the voice and sees a person on his Broomfield wearing a helmet (with only eyes visible) looking intensely at her…
Their eyes meet… They look into it…
The boy (in mind) “I hope she is fine… Shall I ask her??”
Ragini listens it and speaks in mind only “Yes I am… Don’t worry about that… Btw thank you for the help…”
The boy also listens and is stunned knowing she listened what he spoke in mind… (Yes guys…. Its Lakshya…)
Lakshya “Anytime…”
They both look into each other’s eyes for a moment… They get disturbed by the old witch’s voice…
Witch “Thanks to both of you so much… You helped me a lot…. Are you ok dear??”
She asked Ragini with concern…
She nods…
She is about to ask Lakshya but he says that he needs to take the man to the arresters before he gets normal…
The lady nods…
RagLak give a final look to each other bidding bye in their minds….
Lakshya holds the man and his broom and sweeps off from there…
Shekhar comes running there and helps Ragini stand…
Shekhar “You ok???”
Ragini nods…
Witch “Your daughter is really brave… She doesn’t need magic to stand for right… She fought without magic…”
Shekhar smiles… The lady blesses her and leaves…
Shekhar “I have got your other things as well… Chalo… Let’s go to the Hogsbar… Swara must be waiting for us…
Ragini nods… She then looks in the direction where Lakshya flew…
Ragini (in mind) “Who was he…?? His eyes were magical… It had magnet… So attractive!!!”
Her thoughts were interrupted by Shekhar “Will you try butter beer ??? It’s really good here….”
Ragini smiles and nods…
Swara suddenly stands up from nowhere… And greets them…
Swara “So Ms. Gadodia… Got your wand??”
Ragini “Leave me first tell me from where you dropped here suddenly… I didn’t saw you entering from the entrance…”
Swara (in mind) “Oh no… I am caught… I should have been careful… Now what will I answer her… And Dad!!! He doesn’t even knows… No one does…”
Ragini listens what she spoke as she mistakenly spoke looking into her eyes….
Shekhar “Ya… Even I wanted to ask you…”
Ragini “Leave na papa… She is insane… Order one more beer for di…”
Shekhar nods and goes…
Swara looks at her unbelievably “You like really helped me out???”
Ragini “Don’t be happy… I listened what you spoke… We will discuss it in the evening and you are going to tell me…. Else i have my own ways…”
She smirks while Swara nods hastily…
Ragini is again lost in thoughts…. This doesn’t go unnoticed by Swara….
The Maheshwari Mansion…
Lakshya is on the terrace and looking at the moon…
He closes his eyes and recalls Ragini’s eyes…
Lakshya (in mind) “First girl in all these years who could read what i thought!! Those large brown eyes… I felt like looking into them continuously… They were pulling me towards her… That girl!! Who was she… I couldn’t even look at her face or ask her name… Damn… Was i so lost!! I… Lakshya Maheshwari was lost for a girl..!!! Thank God Bhai isn’t here or else he would have teased me saying that he was right….”
Just then an Eagle comes flying to him and sits on his shoulder…
Lakshya “You again went out!!! At this time!!! What if Mom or anybody else had seen you this way… You know that its our secret!!! How could you take such risk???”
The eagle flies off his shoulder and lands on floor…. It changes it’s appearance…. Its Sanskar…
He stands up and smiles looking at him…
Sanskar “Why are you there… I know you will save me Anyways…”
Lakshya “Have some shame… I am your younger brother…”
Sanskar “So what?? Where is it written that only elders help younger and not vice versa…”
Lakshya raises his one eyebrow and gives him a look… Sanskar copies him… They both laugh….
Annapurna calls them for dinner…
Sanskar “Coming maa…”
Lakshya “Waise Bhai… Where were you in this hour…”
Sanskar “Lucky… She is here… She shifted here permanently…”
Lakshya smiles broadly and looks at him “When am i meeting my Bhabhi??”
Sanskar “Shhhhhh… Mom will listen… Will make you meet soon… But not now…”
Lakshya grins widely…
Sanskar hits on is head murmuring stupid…
They both laugh and go downstairs….
The Gadodia Mansion…
Ragini is pacing in her room…
Ragini “This is not fair… Di had promised me that she will tell me in the evening and now its night… Don’t know where she is since evening…”
She continues fuming…
She goes and locks the door…
Ragini “Now I won’t let her enter the room…”
Just then Swara appears behind her…
Swara “But I entered”
Ragini gets bewildered!!! She almost screams but Swara closes her mouth on time and shushes her…
Ragini “How on Earth is that possible??!!!!”
Swara “I thought that’s what I was going to tell you…”
Ragini “You better be quick… Coz my patience level is falling… And you know better what will happen if it crosses its limit…
”
Swara “No no no no no… I am telling you… But you must promise that it will be a secret between us…”
Ragini “Of course di… It Will be… You need to tell me that now??”
Swara “No… But still…”
Ragini “Ok that we will discuss later… Now tell me…”
Swara “Ok… I know you will be shocked but trust me… I got to know it after my Diwali vacations…”
She sits on her knees and transforms into a beautiful red and golden snake… Ragini is stunned…
The snake again turns back to Swara…. Ragini’s jaw drops to floor…
