❤ RagLak ❤
When I used to wake up, the first name on my mind was Swara.
When I dressed, I wore to impress Swara.
When I went to sleep, the last thing I thought of was Swara.
Funny... Never noticed when that word changed from Swara to Ragini.
When...
Hello! Back with another chapter. Let's see what you think about this one. 😁

Chapter 17 - Trouble in the Name of Love
Ragini let out a content sigh as she woke up with a fresh mind and an unburdened heart. The birds chirping outside and the beautiful melody playing over the radio soothed her mood. "Such a warm morning! Today is gonna be an amazing day if you ask me. It's so..."
"RAGINI!"
She flinched as she heard the shout. "...not peaceful." Ragini sighed. 'So much for peace.'
"Ladoo!?"
"Coming Dadi!" Ragini got up from the bed and rushed out thinking it would be best if she went to her Dadi then make the bed first. It seemed an emergency. "Yes Dadi? What is it?"

"I should be the one asking you that!"
"Eh? What did I do?"
Parvati glared and pointed at the envelope on the table.
More importantly, the envelope decorated with hearts that was on the table and had Ragini's name written on it in golden letters.
Ragini's eyes widened as she recognized the handwriting in golden ink. 'Laksh!? But why would he send this to our house? What is he thinking?!' she rushed forward when she saw her Dadi about to grab it and pulled it away with an awkward laugh. "Oho Dadi! It's obviously some prank of some neighbourhood kid. Why are you stressed about it? You know how notorious they could be."
"Why would they leave a love letter here with your name, huh?"
"Ahahaha...its a Valentine day prank I guess. Forget it Dadi. I'll go throw it out." Ragini turned around and walked towards her room in a fast pace.
"Ragini, the trash can isn't that way." Parvati uttered in a suspicious tone.
Ragini swallowed. "I um...it-it would be rude to throw this o-out if it was a kid. Maybe they really put an effort into it. So I'll just keep it. Bye!" without waiting for a response, she rushed off.
Parvati rolled her eyes in disbelief. "Unbelievable! This gi-" she paused when she heard the honking of a car. Her eyes widened when she saw it park before their house.
It wasn't just any car. It was the car of the royal family. 'Ratan is here already?! It's only yesterday that I told Shikha to get Ragini's photo somehow to the royal household. But I didn't expect them to respond this soon!'
"Maa? What's going on?" Shekhar questioned as he and Shramishtha came out into the living room.
They watched in shock as four men in tuxedos entered with trays covered in decorative cloth. They came and stood on either side of the door, two each.
"So this is your humble adobe." came a voice as a guy entered.

He was casually dressed. However, his walking and stature screamed royalty.
"May I know who you are?" questioned Shekhar.
"Probably your future son-in-law."
"What!?"
#Ragini's room#
Ragini kept staring at the envelope as if it was a demon ready to leap out any minute at her. She couldn't figure out what it meant for the life of her!
'Alright! It isn't going to open up itself if I keep glaring at it. Come on Ragu!' she nodded to herself. With confidence, she walked forward towards the bed and grabbed the envelope. She opened it by tearing it on the side, careful not to ruin his writing. However, she would never admit it out loud.
Her eyes widened as she read the letter after unfolding it.
Dear Ragini,
Or shall I just call you my better half? Nah, it would be cliché, no? Anyways, I hope you have had a good rest my sleeping beauty. But I didn't, you know. How could I sleep after knowing that you're about to get engaged?!
Ragini paused he reading. 'Engaged? I'm not getting engaged! What is he talking about?' she shook her head and continued reading.
That too to someone thats not me? No, no, no. It's unacceptable. Hence, I kept awake all night thinking if I should kill the guy.
Ragini half felt like shouting at Laksh, and half laughing.
But then, there would be blood. And of course I would go to jail for a long time. I don't want to go there and spend my life without you. Not to mention the fact that the guy is kind of innocent since he doesn't know about our already fated bond.
"Eh? What is Laksh up-to?" Ragini narrowed her eyes at the lines.
Today, I send you this tiny letter to you and your family declaring that I shall do my utmost to destroy your engagement. This letter (I hope Dadi sees it.) is to let your family know that any effort they put to keep you away from me will go in vain. Now, I'm determined to win back your heart and I shall not stop before I'm done. Dadi can keep bringing bachelors for you. But I won't let them succeed. Let them know that you're off limits please will you? Ragini Gadodia will become Ragini Laksh Maheshwari once she realizes her love for me and my undying love for her. I don't mind if you show your suitors this letter to shoo them away. That will save them the trouble when I deal with them.
