Happy Birthday Tejaaa ❤️❤️❤️❤️?
PAAYA HAI MAINE FIR TUJHE! CHAPTER 5
Recap – seven months later……….
It was dinner time and everyone was sitting having dinner.
Ram ; ginni.. sanskyy… it’s Ansh’s sixth birthday on Sunday.. have you guys thought about something? Only 4 days are left.
Ragini ; papa.. after that incident we haven’t celebrated Ansh’s birthday.
Ansh bows down his head. He was a kid and now he was leading a normal life and like every other kid he too wanted to celebrate his birthday.
Ram ; i understand beta… but….
Sujata : i think he’s right Ginni… ansh is a child and he should have a normal childhood.
Ragini felt happy Sujata calling her “Ginni”. From the moment she has enetered this house as Sanskaar’s wife, SUJATA HAS been rude to her and called her Ragini, always. Sanskaar and Ram were also surprised.
Ram : yes beta. It’s okay if you don’t want a grand party but we should celebrate. And it’ll be his first birthday with us….
Ragini ; okay if you all want this then i have no objections.
Ansh : really mumma?
Ragini nods. He hugs her. Ragini looks at sanskaar.
Sanskaar ; i have to tell you all something….
Ram ; what is it sansky??
Sanskaar : i have to go to Singapore for a shoot. Day after tomorrow…
Ansh ( sadly ) : that means you’ll not come for my birthday….
Sanskaar : no champ. Of course i’ll be there. I’ll come back before your birthday party starts.. i promise.
Sujata : sansky are you sure you’ll be back?
Sanskaar ; yes mom.. it’s a three day shoot. I’ll be back by Sunday evening.
Ram ; okay.. we’ll do the arrangements.
They all talk about the preparations but Ragini runs from there. Everyone looks on.
Ansh : papa… what happened to Mumma?
Sanskaar ; don’t worry champ. You eat. I’ll see her.
He looks at RamTa, they nod. He takes his and Ragini’s plates with him. RamTa talks to Ansh.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RAGSAN
Sanskaar comes to the room with food. He doesn’t find Ragini. He knocks the washroom’s door.
Sanskaar ; ginni… what’s the matter? Are you okay?
Ragini ; of course i’m okay sanskaar..
SHe said rudely. Sanskaar stood confused. He again knocked on the door.
Sanskaar : ginni come out right now… talk to me…
Ragini ; no, i don’t want to talk to you. LEAVE ME ALONE.
She shouts. Sanskaar sighs and sits on the bed quietly waiting for her to come out. After about 15 minutes she comes out. Her eyes red. Sanskaar stood up and goes close to her.
Sanskaar ; ginni what happened? If you don’t want the birthday party then it won’t happen. I’ll talk to ansh.
Ragini jerks his hands and sits ont he bed. She was upset and angry. Ssanskaar also followed her.
Sanskaar : ginni if you wont tell me how will i know? Tell me…
Ragini : why should i tell you and what should i say?? Haan??? You go… go to Singapore… Malaysia… anywhere you want….
Sanskaar was confused. He thought why would she have a problem with his tour. Earlier also he has gone for such tours then what was the problem now?
Sanskaar : ginni, it’s an important shoot thats why i’m going? But why are you over reacting?
Ragini : over reacting? You don’t know what happened…. on ansh’s 4th birthday?? We lost Lucky, sanskaar….. he also went on abroad just like you… ansh has lost his father once.. he wont be able to bear that pain again…. ‘
And she burst out crying. Sanskaar was shocked but he understood her pain. He immediately hugged her tightly. He patted her head to make her calm.
Sanskaar : shss… ginni please calm down. And why do you think something will happen to me?
Ragini ; i don’t know sanskyy… but…. please…..
She cries hard. Sanskaar makes her drink water. She didn’t know whether she was afraid of losing her kid’s father or losing her best friend or losing her husband, all once again. She sobbed until she just fell asleep. Sanskaar kept her in his embrace for a while. He wiped her tears and kissed on her forehead.
Sanskaar : i know ginni you are worried but trust me history will no repeat itself. I promise.
He makes her sleep properly and goes down. He assures everyone that she’s fine. He asks his parents to invite dp-ap, shekhar-shomi with family and his school friends. Ram assured him that everything will be done. He took Ansh to their room where ragini was sound asleep.
He made Ansh ready for sleep and tucked him in the blanket beside Ragini.
Sanskaar : champ sleep quietly today, okay? Don’t disturb mumma…
He removes his specs and kisses him on his forehead and turns to leave.
Ansh ( with so much innocence ) : papa……
Sanskaar turned and sat beside him, holding his hand.
Sanskaar : yes champ…
Ansh : papa.. will you promise that you’ll return back?
Sanskaar was amused hearing this question. He looked at ragini and then again at Ansh. No wonder he was her son, Sanskaar thought. He brushed Ansh’ hair.
Sanskaar : of course champ. Where will I go leaving you?
Ansh : buddy also promised us but he left us. Papa if you didn’t return mumma will die. She’ll not be able to handle herself. She’ll cry. And i cant see her crying.
Sanskaar got emotional hearing him. He kissed his forehead.
Sanskaar : i promise champ.. i’ll neither leave you nor your mumma… now you sleep okay….
Ansh : i love you papa…
Sanskaar : i love you too champ.
He brushed his hair and patted his back until he fell asleep. He looks at the mother-son sleeping with a line of fear on their foreheads. He wiped the lone tear with escaped his eye. Both were concerned for each others pain but didn’t showed their fear.
He goes to balcony and made a call. It was his manager.
Sanskaar : Ajay, please try. Talk to them once.
Ajay : sir, i’m sorry but all the arrangements are done. We cant cancel the shoot. It’s impossible. The deal was made from our side, we can’t back off now.
Sanskaar : ajay, please try if you can and let me know by tomorrow.
Ajay : okay sir. I’ll try.
He hangs up. He prays to God to help him cancel the show. He goes back in the room and lies beside Ansh. And as soon as he lies, ansh hugged him tightly. He took Ansh in his embrace and also held frightened Ragini’s hand.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Next morning, Ragini wakes up before her time and looks at her hand which is in Sanskaar’s hold and also at Ansh, who’s sleeping with his head on sanskaar’s chest and his hand on Ansh’s back. She adores them. She takes her hand from his hold and goes to freshen up.
RAGINI’S POV
Sanskyy i’m so sorry for being so rude to you. I know i don’t have any say in your business but my love for Ansh overtook my senses. I know how important these tours are for you. I’ll never come between you and your career sanskyy….
POV ENDS
She comes outside and saw that they both were still sleeping. She went down and made tea for herself but her mind was still on Sanskaar. She goes to the terrace and takes out her painting materials from the store room. She had stopped painting after Laksh’s demise. First DP and now Sanskaar have been asking her to paint again but she always denied. But today she thought that maybe painting will help her mind rest.
She tied her hair in bun, adjusted her specs and started throwing colours on the white canvas just like old times. Early morning breeze was giving her slight chills. She was about to complete her painting when she felt two strong arms snaking around her waist. She happily rested her head on the chest behind her and continued her painting. A heavy stroke of breeze got her back into senses. She looked at her painting. She just took a step back, looking shocked.
She had painted a distorted image of Sankskaar holding a guitar, sitting and smiling. She realised she had just dreamt of Sanskaar romancing her. She gulps and covers her mouth with her palms. She breathes heavily nodding her head.
Ragini : no no no no no no ….. i cant do this….
She throws the painting away. She starts sweating and crying. She sits down on the floor, crying hugging her legs.
Ragini : no, i can’t do this. I can’t betray Lucky. I love him. And i’m only his for next 7 births. Sanskyy is just my friend and Ansh’s dad… nothing more…
She’s arguing with herself and giving excuses for why she can’t love sanskaar.
RAGINI’S POV
True love happens only once and my true love is lucky only. How can i even think about sansky in that way.? This is wrong. I just wanted a family for Ansh and he has got one. Even mom dad loves him…
She throws away her specs/
I can’t believe myself. What has happened to me? Yesterday also i over reacted. He has gone abroad so many times then why now it’s affecting me? He’s just my best friend and he’ll just be my best friend for rest of my life. I can’t betray Lucky. I have only loved him, as my man, as my husband. No one can take his place. Not now. Not ever.
She cries her heart out.
POV ENDS
Sanskaar wakes up and finds ragini missing. He makes ansh sleep on the bed, properly and goes to get fresh. He starts looking for ragini in the house and finally comes on the terrace where he finds her cleaning up the mess.
Sanskaar ; ginni.. what are you doing here/?
Ragini : sanskyy… i thought to paint so came here
Sanskaar : so did you paint something?
Ragini looks at the covered canvas behind sanskaar and recalls how she heard sanskaar’s voice, composed herself and firstly covered the canvas and then started cleaning the mess she had created.
Ragini : umm… no sansky… i think the painter in me has died long ago…
Sanskaar ( helping her clean ) : ginni.. art never dies. You just have to think from a different prospective maybe you’ll find an inspiration. You paint what you desire or what you feel ginni.. Remember you only told me this? ( she nods ) then keep trying. I’m sure you’ll find your desire, your inspiration some day.
He smiles at her and picks up the stuff and keeps them in the store room while ragini gets lost in her thoughts.
Sanskaar : arre what’s that ginni?
She comes out of her thoughts and sees him going towards the covered canvas. She runs and picks up the canvas. Sanskaar moves behind seeing her. He looks at her, suspiciously. She smiles awkwardly.
Ragini ; voh… voh sanskyy… it’s …. actually…
She stammers. Sanskaar doesn’t feel good about it but doesn’t say anything.
Sanskaar ; it’s okay if you don’t want to show.
Ragini ; no.. actually….
Before she could say anything he leaves from there. Ragini looks on. The episode ends with her confused face.
Spread Love
