Episode 19
Sanskar and Rohan are seated in library when they see Richard’s ghost friend Nick (I have introduced him in chapter Sneak Peek)…
Nick “Hey Sanky boy… Hi Rohan!!”
Sanskar “Hello buddy… How you doing??”
Rohan “Hi Nick… Saw you first time after vacations… How’s life going (Nick gives him a look… Rohan understands) oh… No no no… I didn’t mean that… I am so sorry… You know we are habitual to ask this… I mean… Where were you these days…?”
Nick “Ah… It’s ok… Yeah I have been busy…. BTW… I have a message from boss…”
Both the boys together “Richard?? You have a message from Richard for us!!???”
Nick nods “Actually… Junior Gadodia wants to see you both at Quidditch stadium now… She has something important to talk…”
Rohan “Ragini or Swara??”
Nick “The one who roams with you…”
Sanskar “Oh ok… Thanks buddy… And good to see you…”
Nick nods and floats away…
Sanskar “I hope everything is fine… Why is Swara calling us at the stadium? I mean we usually meet there when we want to talk about something which no one else should listen…”
Rohan “I know… I am also thinking about that… Let’s go there… But what about Lucky’s problem?? Oh ya… She can help us out… She has given solutions to many of our problems…”
Sanskar “Dude, half of the solutions were suggested by Ragini!! The ones which I used to enjoy a lot!!”
Rohan “God!!! She is so your female version… But let us go now… And see what has happened that this meeting is held…”
Sanskar nods and they both rush for the stadium…
Aisha, Lakshya and Ragini come out of Annapurna’s cabin… All are engrossed in thoughts… Aisha breaks the silance…
Aisha “Isn’t it amazing?? Your wands are so same!!! Just 0.05 inches difference is there… Didn’t you guys knew it??”
RagLak look at each other and shake their heads…
Ragini “I remember… When I went to Wandatorium with Dad, this was the only one of its kind… The rest two was sold… ”
Lakshya “Ya… I bought one of them… But we didn’t pay any money… This wand seemed special… It attracted me and when I held it,it accepted me…”
Aisha “You both didn’t paid for this wand!!! (RagLak nod… Aisha thinks) Do you know what it means?? This wand is actually special… It was Free of Cost still no one could buy it… It chose you as it’s master… It means even you guys are special…”
RagLak look at each other and then at their wand…
Ragini is about to say something when Richard comes…
Richard “Boss…”
Ragini “Richard!! How are you buddy?”
Richard “I missed you… Now you are finally here… We will rock the college…”
Ragini smiles… So does Aisha… Lakshya looks at them shocked…
Ragini “Yes Richard we will… BTW,meet my friends Aisha and (she looks at Lakshya unsure) Well… He isn’t friend but meet Lakshya… Sanskar’s Younger brother…”
Richard “Hi both of you… (They both greet him back) BTW,Ragini… I have a message for you all… Swara has called you all to the Quidditch stadium… She waiting there with Sanskar and Rohan… Go fast… She was really worried…”
Ragini teases him… Aisha laughs as she also knows everything while Lakshya looks on clueless…
Richard floats off from there blushing…
Lakshya “Why is Swara calling us there…”
Ragini “That you will find out after we will reach there… But just know that it’s related to our forms…”
Aisha “Let’s go then…”
RagLak nod and head towards the Quidditch stadium….
Swara is waiting for them in one of the stands… They both come there…
Rohan “What happened Swara?? All ok?”
Swara “No… I wanted to tell you something related to Ragini and Lakshya—”
Sanskar (interrupting) “It’s ok Swara… Even I was hyper when I listened it… But you need to take that coolly… So what if we have not kissed being in relationship for six months and Ragini and Lakshya did just in their first meet… You should know that it wasn’t out of love…”
Swara “What!!! Ragini kissed Lakshya!!!”
Rohan facepalms…
Sanskar “Hey!! Was I not supposed to say that!!???”
Swara “Don’t change the topic Sanskar… Tell me… Did they missed each other?? Rohan???”
Rohan “Twice…”
Swara “Twice!!! How on Earth that even happened!!! Whole college knows about their first meet!!”
Rohan “I can explain…”
Sanskar “Dude… You better should… Coz I can hear the tick tock of a time bomb…”
Swara and Rohan glare him to be quite… Rohan tells her whatever happened between RagLak… Swara’s eyes gets wider as she goes into detail…
Swara “Is that even a revenge??”
Sanskar “I know… It’s hot right?”
Swara “What were our siblings thinking???”
RagLak and Aisha enter just then…
Ragini “Regarding???”
Swara “What were you both thinking when you kissed…??”
Sanskar “Twice!!”
Aisha(shocked) “You both kissed??”
Rohan “That to twice!!”
Ragini (turning to Lakshya) “You told them!!! How could you??”
Lakshya (turning to Rohan and Sanskar) “You told them!!! How could you??”
Ragini “Oh don’t copy me!! You were the one to tell your brothers..!!”
Lakshya “I didn’t!!! Rohan Bhai just got to know it!!”
Ragini thinks “Oh no!! Was that guy Rohan!! Can he read minds?? No… He can’t be that guy… I can’t do wrong with Aisha… No Gopal plz… Not Rohan… Not Rohan… (To Lakshya) why?? Can he read minds??”
Aisha and Swara glance at Rohan at once for they understood that what Ragini meant…
Rohan “What!!! No!!!”
All the three girls relax…
Ragini “That means you told him!!”
Lakshya “No I didn’t… He can see someone’s past or future if he concentrates on something or someone…”
Aisha “Wow… You never told me!!”
Rohan smiles sheepishly and rubs his nape…
Swara “Me neither…”
Ragini “That means I am the luckiest one to know it as soon as I know him… There you go buddy…”
She does high five with Rohan…
Sanskar “Ohk… Shall we concentrate on the matter now? Swara why you called us here and what were you telling about Ragini and Lakshya if it was not about their kiss??”
Swara “Oh ya… You know we all are in such a big problem… Our admission forms are missing!!”
Rohan “No… Only Lakshya’s is missing…”
Aisha “Wait… That means you knew about Lakshya’s form being missing… Well FYI,even ours is missing…”
Sanskar “You mean Your’s and Ragini’s??”
Ragini “No.. she means all of us…”
Lakshya “Yeah… But tell me how do you know about forms… You promised to tell that afterwards.. well this is the afterwards…”
Ragini “See… We had some important works (Swara glares her) Ok I had some important work and for that I had to see the forms… So we sneaked on into VP Maheshwari’s cabin and copied the forms… Of our batch,Di’s batch and a year senior to that…”
Rohan “What!! You sneaked into Anu Ma’s cabin!! Girl!! How did you managed to??”
Ragini smiles proudly…
Aisha “Stop freaking out!! Lakshya,how did you knew about the missing forms?”
Lakshya “Oh… I saw them with Mom at night and out of curiosity checked that…”
Ragini “Such a lier you are!! You sneaked into the cabin the same night when I did… Infact I was there when you entered..!!”
Lakshya turns red “Ok fine!! I did… I wanted to find something out… Hey!! You were there!! Then why didn’t the revealing spell showed you??”
Ragini “Coz I use my brains unlike you… Taking the chance,I sneaked out of the cabin before you could cast your spell!!”
They then tell each other about how they got the forms copied and how it got stolen without telling them their real motive…
Sanskar “Wait a second… We are forgetting something… Hey… What happened in the registration… Our forms are stolen right?? You guys didn’t registered?”
Ragini “Well… Unexpected happened Sanskar…”
Rohan, Swara and Sanskar are clueless… Aisha just then remembers something…
Swara “What do you mean Ragu?”
Lakshya “Swara,when we went there for registration,our forms were there with Mom… I don’t know how… But something is fishy…”
Swara “Exactly… First our forms are missing,then our forms’ copies goes missing and then when you guys go in there, the forms are there with VP Maheshwari..!!”
Sanskar “I don’t understand when the forms were already there,then how come we didn’t saw them!! There’s definitely something fishy…”
Rohan notices Aisha lost in thoughts and being quiet thinking something…
Rohan “Aisha… You are quite??”
Aisha (in a low serious tone) “Guys… We are in a mess… (All of them look at her seriously) I wanted to tell that to Ragini and Lakshya as soon as I saw it but then many things happened and I completely forgot… When again the forms discussion started here, I recalled something I saw in VP Maheshwari’s cabin… Which definitely is a problem for us…”
Rohan “Aisha… Don’t play with words and complicate things more… Just say it at once…”
Aisha nods “Ragini… Do you remember what I said about me to you when we first met…??”
Ragini nods (she recalls Aisha’s words and repeats it for her) “I remember,you said that you have got special eyes and can see everything… Everything means the visible ones as well as the invisible ones… The fastest ones at a very slow rate and the slowest ones at fast speed…. The biggest object as well as the smallest ones…. The far objects as well as the near ones… Nothing can be hidden from your eyes… Ya… I remember that…”
Aisha “Ragini,I saw the form copies on VP Maheshwari’s table…”
All get shocked…
Lakshya “What!! No…!! I remember,there was nothing on that table except for our wands and Ms. Mew’s house…!!”
Ragini “Are you dumb!! Didn’t you get what I said about Aisha just now??”
Lakshya realizes and gasps… So does everyone…
Rohan “Guys… This is true and this as well that we are in a very big mess now… Now before we fall into another one, I think we should return to college… It’s been quite a time while we are here…”
All nod and turn to go when Ragini stumbles and is about to fall…
Lakshya calls her out of concern and holds her by waist to prevent her from falling down… He looks at her innocent face intensely… Ragini has eyes closed out of fear and she is clutching his collar tightly… All turn to look at them but are amazed at the sight….
Rohan and Sanskar smirk “Ahem Ahem!!”
Lakshya stops looking at Ragini and looks here and there as he blushes… Ragini opens her eyes and finds herself in Lakshya’s arms… She feels awkward and stands straight… She looks here and there…
Swara and Aisha suppress their smile “It’s ok Ragini and Lakshya… It happens… Thank you Lakshya you saved Ragini…”
Ragini going all red “Yeah thanks…”
She says and walks off from there in speed… As she goes, Lakshya gets her imported sandalwood smell… He inhales it deeply and looks at her going in thoughts…
