My Muse - RagLak (✔️)

Chapter eighteen (✔️)

Laksh was speechless, "you are...?" He gulps his fear down, his throat was dry and he needed a bit of his saliva, but there was nothing.

John looked at Ragini, "I think he needs to moisturise his throat, why don't we go into a restaurant and talk about the details there?"

He invited them for a dinner at a very exclusive restaurant, but Ragini felt uncomfortable and underdressed, she asked him if they could meet later in the evening at 9 p.m.

Laksh was looking at, "wow Aunty, looking so hot." He was praising her, but fact was he was telling her the same compliment over and over again.

"Laksh this is the 5th dress I'm wearing. I can't look hot in every outfit." She adjusted her short black dress.

Somewhere he didn't liked it, she was showing much of her legs, but he doesn't has the right to complain.

Laksh was thinking, how to make wear other clothes, "Aunty?" He calls her and she looks at him, "what Kiddo?" She asked him moving with her hands over her dress.

"You should be more concern about your age, you aren't a teenage girl anymore, please wear something comfortable according to your age." He said with an innocent smile on his face.

Ragini glares at him, but she knows he was just teasing her to get her wear something 'normal'.

"Oh I'm old? Fine then here my wardrobe is open, choose something I should wear, according to my age." Ragini moves from there with crossed arms around her chest.

Laksh was looking around, she was watching him from the back.

What is he looking for, I don't have much dresses which aren't sexy or hot. Karan always bought me something to show off, uff that bastard used me as his accessory, his little girl. Asshole!

"Ragini, this one!" Laksh took the dress in his hand and shows her, "I think this is perfect, it will give you a nice shape, plus you won't look awkwardly in it."

Ragini saw the dress. Gosh this is one of the dresses I bought. He and I have the same taste. Why I never wore it before? Oh ya Karan didn't liked it, what he used to say.

'Ragini you are the girlfriend of a well known Lawyer, you shouldn't look prude, but hot and sexy'.

What the fuck?! Why I even listened to that idiot. I thought love makes blind, but in my case it made me dumb.

Laksh snaps with his fingers in front of her face, "Aunty!"

Ragini shocks, "Laksh, give me the dress!" He gave it her and she come out of the washroom within 10 minutes.

Laksh wore a simple white shirt and a dark blue jeans.

They went together to the restaurant by feet as it was in the city and they wouldn't have found a parking place.

"Aunty, the manager isn't letting me in." Laksh said and Ragini looked at him, "maybe because you look a bit underdressed?" She looked at him from tip to toe.

"What Yaar I helped you so much and you couldn't gave me a hint that it's not good enough." He turns his face with a fake pout.

Ragini looked at the manager, "Excuse me Mister, we have an appointment with John Doyle, he has invited us for a dinner. I'm Ragini and this is Laksh."

The manager checked the reservation and smiles, "I'm sorry ma'am for your inconvenience you had, please follow me I will lead you to Mr. Doyle."

Ragini smiles at the manager, soon she was giving Laksh a mischievous smirk.

Laksh rolls his eyes, "wow we got in." He said in sarcasm and followed Ragini.

John Doyle stood up, but it was Laksh, who arranged the chair for Ragini, he made it comfortable for her to sit on the seat. While John was watching them, as she was having a cute smile on her face with a light blush on her cheeks, she sat down.

Laksh sat next to her and next to John, he was between them.

John was hiding his smile. Seems like they have something to clear about their relationship. Maybe I can help them, but not now, later I will do something.

Laksh was happy, he looked at John, "Sir?" Finally he found his voice and John looked at him.

"Hi Lucky, now tell me something about you?" John asked him and Laksh just spread out everything about him, his struggle and family as well as his fear of the darkness and the new found shine because of Ragini.

John was amazed and happy to hear about him, "you know Lucky, you can archive a lot, if you will focus on it, no more fights with... what was the name of the stupid guy you had a relationship with?" John couldn't remember the name.

"Bastard/ Uncle!" They described him in union differently.

John frowns, "what?"

Ragini looked at him, "did you call him uncle?"

Laksh nods, "yes, I called him uncle. Idiot e. g. Karan, how dare he to mess with my best friend and me. I gave him a full speech and he won't file a case against me neither do I have to apologise to him nor I will."

John claps, "wow I think we can both learn something from you!"

"Definitely!" Laksh said and Ragini hits him, "Laksh behave don't be a kid all the time." She warns him and he shows her his tongue 😛.

Ragini shook her head in embarrassment, "Mr. Doyle."

"John!" He said.

"Sorry, John what you think about the song and his voice?"

John smiles, "it's amazing, but before taking him under contract he has to give an audition. I can't decided alone I have a bunch of peoples working with and for me. We always take decisions together. So Lucky, here is my card with my number. Call the studio they will give you an appointment for the audition, be prepared and don't take it as a joke. Like I said I'm not alone to decide." He was holding the card and Laksh took it with reverence.

"Thank you so much, but audition?" He lowers his head thinking of the past incident.

Ragini places her hand on his shoulder, "Laksh moving on in our life is normal, we aren't able to forget, but we are able to recreate it's time to shine and show them whatever happened, happened for good!" Her words were like a ointment healing his wounds.

Laksh smiles, "yes, right. Nothing happens without a reason."

John smiles too, "let's have dinner!"

They ordered the food and drinks, after they finished they went back home. It was a cold night and Laksh gave Ragini his jacket, he was carrying all the time in his hand.

Ragini smiles, "Thank you my gentlemen!"

Laksh winks, "you welcome my Muse!"

Ragini looked at him, "what?"

"Muse e. g. Inspiration!" He was walking ahead of her and she was just admiring him from the back.

At home they didn't talked much and went to sleep.
