Thanks for all your support friends and sissies. Well, still I hope five or six episodes will be enough to complete this long journey.
Let I start the story
At night of the same day y, Swara went to kali temple where she met Annu first .
Swara’s POV
Maa… I ran as much as I can in my life… you snatched my maa..papa…then Rago ka. I bore all the pain which you gave to me .To save my Sahil, I ran and hid wherever the place I got shelter. I bore his hatred. Even I didn’t get time to cry for my rago ka. My mind pointed him for all the miseries … for the loss of My Rago ka. I hated Laksh … laksh from my heart more than how much I loved him. The revenge which burned inside my heart…The same revenge which made me hate Laksh … The Revenge which I hid in my bottom of heart to punish my Rago ka murderer is fulfilled. The one whom I thought as hating… no maa… In real , I never hated him. I fooled myself as I hated him. I can’t restrict myself to accept his friendship. At first, I thought at least he was having a good life. I even blamed him in my heart for living happily by forgetting my Rago ka. But, he was living in pain maa. I can’t see him in pain. After losing his memory, he still loves my Rago ka and I never thought he already gone through so much pain. I want to vanish his pain. I want to save him . I want to make him live a normal life maa. When he will get his memory back, he will be in great pain because I know how much he love rago ka. But I can’t let him waste his life maa. He deserves to be happy maa. I know when he get his memory he won’t give my Rago ka’s position to anyone. But he needs someone with whom he can share everything. he deserves a family maa. And, I will hold his hand to make his life normal as a sister… as a daughter.. as his swara. But , I need rights . I don’t have any other way than marrying sanskar. Once I made Laksh life normal, I will leave Maheshwari house. I know Marriage is a pious relationship and I am playing with it. I am betraying Sanskar in the name of love. I know I am having feelings for him. but I am not in state to accept any relationship now maa. I can’t bear any loss again in my life. May be I am cursed to lose all my relations.
Once, Laksh cure, I will make Sanskar hate me. So, he can move on in his life further.Even, I will make Laksh hate me.I already bore Sahil’s hate. It won’t be hard to me. it won’t be…
“Swara…” A voice made me turn. Still, There is a person who is alive and share the same blood with me.
“Aadi…”I whispered. Yes, he is my own brother but I sent him away from me and my family before he knows the truth. A forbidden truth…
Flashback starts…
A 13 year old swara searched an important thing in her maa’s room.
“where is it should be? I need it to know that date. I will know my maa Appa’s marriage date before rago ka”Swara promised herself by remembering her challenge with her sister to know the important dates in their parent’s life.
She opened her Amma’s alimirah and saw a yellow colour bag under her maa’s clothes.
She opened the bag and put all the things outside. Her eyes struck at an invitation.
“Arghh!Finally, I got it.”Swara jumped in happiness and opened the invitation.
Her eyes traversed in the invitation to know the date.
“01-09-1999. Wah!Swara, you finally knew it. I will irritate Rago ka and Sahil.”Swara raised her churidhar.
She happily walked towards the door.
In hall,
“Rago ka, what is your birth date?” 10 year old Sahil asked while writing all of their family members birth date in a note.
“Mine, June 10,1995 and Swara is January 7,1998”Ragini said to Sahil.
Swara ran back to room in shock.
“how is it possible? Am I not own daughter of this house?”Swara sked while her eyes fallen on a photo.
In Photo,Rudra was holding Ragini,Kalyani was holding Aadi while Shekar was holding a little baby Swara in his hand.
She took the photo in her hand and put other things including invitation in the bag , kept it in it’s old position.
Swara took photo in her hand and came out by searching Sumi.
“Sumi … Sumi…”neighbourhood women yelled at frontdoor.
Sumi came out of Kitchen and saw neighbourhood lady.
“See what your son did with my son”Neighbourhood lady shown her son whose eyes were swollen a bit.
“Sahil… why did you do this?”Sumi asked while slapping him in his back shoulder.
Ragini came in between and hid Sahil behind her.
“he called Rago ka like me I told him to not call like that. But , he refused and irritated me again and again by calling her like that”Sahil said while sobbing.
“For that, did you beat him like this?”Sumi asked in disbelief.
“Haan. . I only have the rights to call her like that.”By saying this Sahil ran to His room which he was sharing with Swarag. Ragini ran behind him to console.
Swara hid the photo behind her back.
“Sorry…”Sumi apologized to her neighbor.
“Swara, what happened to you? why are you looking sad?”Sumi asked being concerned.
“Nothing maa. My head is paining a bit”Swara lied.
“wait!”Sumi made her sat in a chair and massaged her head.
“how many times I told you to not see TV in late nights? You never obey me. even you father didn’t correct you”Sumi scolded by seeing Shekar also entering house.
Swara didn’t cringed as she does always. She observed concern behind her mother scoldings.
Swara held Sumi’s hands.
“maa, how much you love me?”Swara asked.
Sumi looked at her as what is this question.
“tell me maa…”Swara cringed.
Sumi cupped Swara’s face. Might be She observed that something bothering her little doll.
“you,rago and Sahil are our life, Swara. Without you three, we are nothing. But don’t start by asking whom we love most in three”Sumi smiled while patting Swara’s cheeks.
Swara encircled her hand through Sumi’s waist and hugged her.
Sumi patted Swara’s shoulders and broke the hug.
‘Go and play but be careful”Sumi said while walking towards the Kitchen.
At night,
Swara lit the fire in the photo and witness it until it completely destroyed. She didn’t know how much time she stood like that.
A warm hands covered her with Shawl.
“Appa…”Swara turned as She find Shekar by his touch.
“why are you standing here alone,Swara that too without Shawl or Sweater?”Shekar asked.
“Nothing Appa. Just thought to get some air”Swara said.
“Swara, is it anything bothering you? tell me, you Appa is with you”Shekar said being worried by seeing Swara’s state and Sumi’s words.
Swara put a smile in her face.
“Nothing Appa. I missed you from morning”Swara said while Shekar smiled by seeing Swara’s smile.
Both entered house.
“Swara ka, have you found any important dates? We found amma appa’s birthday”Sahil said.
“She found her parents marriage date. It’s April 14,1993. It’s our important day. Isn’t it Sumi?”Shekar said while Sumi blushed a little.
Swara looked at him and her family’s smile.
“I promise you Appa, I never let our family breakdown because of my birth truth. Only Sahil is Swaragini’s brother and it’s my family”Swara promised Shekar in her heart.
“So, I won the challenge. You both have to Share your part of sweets with me”Swara said with a smile while put all the truth in her depth of heart.
At the day before of Ragini’s Marriage with Aarav,
“they are your parents Rudra and Kalyani and it’s you…”Sumi pointed Aadi in that photo while showing photo to Aadi.
Swara who came to see Sumi , hid behind the door. She slowly peeped out from door and looked at Aadi who emotionally looking at the picture.
Her eyes dropped a long tears by seeing her brother for the first time. She wiped it immediately while hearing next sentence of Shekar.
“Aadi, I can’t tell Ragini about you now. She is going to get married. Here, everyone knows as my daughter. the truth may create problems…” Shekar told hesitatingly.
The truth which can destroy her family fully… the truth which can make her Sahil breakdown… While thinking, She went to roof top of the mandap. At that time, Aarav came with his love.
Aadi came there and Swara made him hid along with her. They both threatened Aarav and made him marry with his love.
In Aadi’s car while return,
Car stopped in the mid way and Aadi stepped out to check.
Aadi’s phone buzzed with message.
“Aadi, you got a message”Swara eyes fallen on the lock screen in which Kavya and Aadi smiled.
“even he have a family. “Swara thought.
Aadi got inside and started the car. They reached Mandap again.
“Are you really Rago ka’s twin brother? I overheard your conversation with maa ”Swara asked me in hindi. I didn’t want anything to hide.
“yes…” I said.
“you can stay with us as rago ka’s cousin, but if you think to be his brother, please go from here. She will remain as Shekar-Sumithra’s elder daughter and my sister. if she have a brother, it’s our Sahil only. He only have the rights as her brother” she said while looking at my eyes. I didn’t know what to reply. Aadi stepped further, but she hold her hands before.
“your truth can shatter my family. please go from here .even if my parents look for you, don’t come here.”Swara said while controlling her tears.
Aadi left with his car.
Swara kneeled down while tears escaping from her eyes.
“Don’t return Aadi. may be the truth hurt you and made look for us. But, Your former parents may be loves you. be happy with your family and your life. And, I can’t give my Sahil’s position to you nor I can’t let you destroy my family’s happiness… my Sahil… by our truth”Swara said in a trembling voice.
Swara stood up and wiped her tears. Swara walked inside Mandap by keeping everything inside her heart . She did the same what she did before 4 years.
Flashback ends…
“Swara…”Aadi’s concerned made me to come reality.
“Is it everything ok?”Aadi’s asked me concernedly. Still, he don’t know everything about me. but, still he was concerned about me.
“I will look Selfish Aadi. even you may think what a type of girl to ask your help. But, I don’t know anyone to ask this help”I said. I know I don’t deserve to ask a help from him after sending him away from us by breaking him.
“Swara, like Rago maa, you are also like a sister to me. you are also my family. how can I think my sister wrongly?”Aadi asked me. May be he don’t know what type of guilt he was sowing in my heart. but , I know .
I gave him a bag.He opened it and looked me shockingly.
I gave him my maa’s jewels. Still now, which I saved till the date as my life… My maa’s jewels.
“what is this ,Swara?”he asked me shockingly.
“It’s my maa’s jewels, Aadi.I am going to marry soon. Once I marry, Sahil will not accept to live with me. Can you please take care of him? I know I don’t have rights to ask your help.”I said.
“Swara ,Stop speaking like this. If you are my family,Sahil is also my family Swara. I will take care of him. first have this…”Aadi shoved the bag in my hands.
“Sahil will never accept your help,Aadi. I am going to introduce you as my friend. Even if he pays you rent, it won’t surprise me. and The truth needed to be buried forever, Aadi. even your family may loves you a lot.Don’t let your past affect your present and future.” I said .
“Not everyone gets parents like Shekar uncle and Sumi bua,Swara .leave it. Who is that lucky man?”Aadi asked me. I felt a pain in his first sentence. Isn’t his parents love him a lot?
“Swara ka…”Sahil’s voice made me turn.
“Sahil…” I smiled by seeing his face. He is my only happiness. But , I have to leave him for his happy life.
“Sir …”Sahil surpised to see Aadi here.
“Hi Sahil! Moreover, call me by name or whatever you want. But , no sir…”Aadi had a handshake with Sahil . I saw a genuine smile in his face.
“then, I will call you Aadi”Sahil said while returning a smile to Aadi.
“Swara ka, do you know Sir… I mean Aadi before?”Sahil asked me.
“he is my old friend, Sahil”I lied.
“ did I already told you about Kavya, My best friend?. He is Kavya’s brother”Sahil murmured in my ears.
Sometime, he told me about his new friend but I never thought It would be Aadi’s sister.
“we are meeting always surprisingly, Aadi”Sahil said .
“hmm… May be God wants to give me a friend”Aadi smiled.
Sahil smiled,” Kavya said the truth only.”
“what did she say about me?” Aadi asked eagerly.
“You are so friendly though you act like crack sometimes”Sahil said while suppressing laugh and I smiled being not able to control it. Sahil’s face became serious next time . He should thought as he crossed his limits.
“do you know Sahil, no one can’t beat Sisters in making joke on brother’s?”Aadi said while putting his hands on Sahil’s shoulder.
“Ok, Aadi. we are leaving now”I said while pointing the time.
“wait Swara, I will drop you”Aadi said and I also accepted his help.
At MM,
Sahil went inside while Swara stood near by Gate to sent off Aadi.
“Aadi.” I called him. He looked at me questioningly.
“Sorry…” I said. Because now, I know the pain of staying away from our beloved ones. The pain which I gave him.
“Leave the past, Swara and trust me. I will take care of our Sahil. Ok, now tell me who is the lucky person?”Aadi asked me.
“Swara ka”Sahil called me from inside. I turned and then looked at Aadi.
“Sanskar….Sanskar Maheshwari”I told him and ran inside for what Sahil was calling me this much time.
Aadi’s POV
“Sanskar… Sanskar Maheshwari…”Am I heard wrongly?
Before I ask her again, she went inside. How could it happen? I banged steering in anger. The family… which I want to destroy… from which I want to snatch their money… happiness…everything, how can I let Swara be a part of that family? She is also like a sister to me. First, I failed to protect her. Now … no, I will never let this marriage happen. But, what should be the reason? Think Aadi… think…
Did she love Sanskar? No… there is no possibility. Then , what would it be? Are they threatening her? No… they were not in that state now.
(Aadi leaned against car seat)
Laksh’s painful face flashed in my eyes.
“Jeju…!I muttered unconsciously.
“did she decide to be part of that family just for jeju?”I asked myself in shock and stared MM from outside.
I started to drive towards my house. My mind was fully occupied with so many questions . I can get my answers only from my Rago maa.
In Aadi’s House,
Uttara was sitting casually while Ragini was scolding her.
“don’t you have a single piece of mind? You didn’t inform me even also not Aadi. Have you thought about us? What would anything…”Ragini stopped as the thought gave a deep shiver in her spine.
Uttara held Ragini’s hands.
“Arrey Rago maa! See, I’m fit and fine. Even if I’m not remembering my age, I would have definitely crossed 18. And, I’m rago maa’s Uttara. Nothing will happen to me.”Uttara said.
“I can’t lose you,Uttara. Promise me, you won’t do such a mad thing in future.”Ragini said while Aadi entered.
“Rago maa, please take care of your brother. He don’t have any other work than staring me angrily till I came here. He didn’t even speak a word with me. He even sent me here with his PA.”Uttara complained .
Aadi looked at Uttara while Uttara made face and went to their room.
“Are you tensed about Uttara’s arrival to Kolkata?”Ragini asked.
“what is Laksh meant to Swara?”Aadi asked without related to Ragini’s question.
Ragini looked at him surprisingly as he never asked about Past.
“They are our life and we are their world”Ragini said while Aadi’s question kindled her memories.
Flashback starts…
“They will be surprised to see us,Swara ka”Sahil said while standing in Ooty’s bus stand.
“haan… Tomorrow is their First marriage anniversary . how much they both will be surprised when they see us?”Swara asked while imagining.
Sahil hired an auto and both got inside.
After reaching their house,
“Swara ka, you hide in lawn. I am going to estate. After one hour, I will come and we will surprise them.”Sahil said in the wish of seeing his own village after so many days.
Swara nodded and hid in lawn.
After half an hour,
Ragini and Uttara came from college.
“Bye Rago, I will see you Tomorrow.”Uttara said while entering Laksh’s house as she rented it now.
Ragini opened the door by key and entered her house.
Swara took her phone and called ragini.
“Hey Swara! today you called this much soon”Ragini asked surprisedly.
“haan Rago ka, today college finished early. So, what is your dinner?”Swara asked.
“hmm! Chappathi and Aloo dum! What is yours?”Ragini asked while chooping onions.
“what would it be? The same hostel mess…”Swara sighed fakely.
“don’t worry. When you come to home, I will cook all your fovourite dishes”Ragini said.
“Hmmm…!”Swara asked while putting baby steps inside house.
“haan Swara…”Ragini said while putting the chopped onions and green chillies in rice which was mixed with water. Swara cut the call as she entered house.
Swara looked at the kitchen shockingly where there was no sign of vegetables and masala.
Ragini was drinking the rice water mix and kept remaining for Laksh.
Ragini turned as she felt the strong gaze.
“Swara…”Ragini said with a surprised and happy voice, hugged swara.
“what are you taking,Rago ka?”Swara asked.
“vo… I had heavy lunch afternoon, Swara. I thought to take something light. Leave it, when did you come? Why did you inform me?”Ragini asked and dragged her to hall.
“I thought to see you all…”Swara said while her mind was thinking about what she saw.
Ragini gaze fall on entrance and her smile got broaded by seeing Sahil.
“Sahil… you didn’t tell me about him, Swara”Ragini tapped Swara’s head and hugged Sahil in happiness.
“Sahil… how is your school? Do you get any new friends there?”ragini asked while ruffling Sahil’s hairs.
“it’s good, Rago ka. Where is Laksh?”Sahil asked.
“Laksh, he will come a bit late today, he had some works in college”ragini lied.
“wait! I will take milk for you both. Then, I will make your favourite poori”Ragini said while pulling Sahil’s cheeks.
Ragini entered kitchen and called Laksh.
“Sahi! “Laksh answered the call while checking the file of exporting goods of estate.
“Purusha! Sahil and Swara came surprisingly and…”Ragini paused.
“when I am coming, I will buy vegetables and remaining. After so many days, they came. I will come in half an hour”Laksh said.
“Ok da purusha… then, I am cutting the call”Ragini said.
“hmm…”Laksh said as he wanted to continue the talk until his work was over.
“Laksh beta… where is Sahil? I told him that you are here when I saw him in estate. When did he come from Madras?” an old man who was well known to shekar’s family asked.
“He just came uncle. I sent him to home to take rest. He should be tired because of travelling”Laksh covered up.
“hmmm… it’s also correct”Old man said and left to see his work.
Laksh closed the file as he finished checking.
After half an hour,
Laksh entered with chocates and remaining items.
“Swara, your favourite milk chocolate.”Laksh extended his hands with chocolates.
“Thanks Laksh “Swara exclaimed while stuffing her mouth full of chocolates. For her luck, nose also ate chocolates as mouth.
Ragini wiped it with her duppata,”Swara, slow. No one will snatch chocolates from you”
“How many days after I am eating this ?”Swara said while licking her fingers.
“Sahil, your favorite Laddu”laksh gave a sweet box to Sahil.
“Thank you Laksh”Sahil said with a smile.
Laksh stared Sahil’s eyes for a moment and indulged himself in chatting and cooking with Ragini.
At night,
Swara was staring the stars in the sky. Sahil sat beside her.
“Swara ka…”Sahil said.
“Haan Sahil…”Swara said.
“do we think about laksh’s financial status atleast one time? Your engineering expenses, my school fees,Their expenses did we think one time how he manage our expenses?”Sahil asked.
Unknowingly, Her house kitchen’s state flashed in her mind.
“he dropped his college just to provide us a good education. He is working in the estate,Swara ka . To support our dreams, he left his dreams, Swara ka”Sahil said in a voice which express his guilt and sadness.
“ I , myself, feeling as a leech ,Swara ka. Even after knowing all this, I am not able to confront him, Swara ka. I hate myself for not able to anything other than a burden on them.”Sahil said while his voice choked.
Swara hugged him while she was also going through the same turmoil.
Inside RagLak room,
Laksh was staring the ceiling while thinking about Sahil.
“what happened, Purusha?”Ragini asked while lay beside him on the bed and held his hand.
“Sahil got to know about my work, Sahi”Laksh said.
“but it not seems like, Purusha. If he get to know, he would be definitely anger. But, he doesn’t seems like that”Ragini said while thinking about Sahil’s expressions.
Laksh turned to ragini.
“it’s my worry, ragini. even if he got anger, I would convince him. but, I think he is in guilt. He might be thinking that he was burden on us.and I don’t know how to confront him in this”Laksh said.
Ragini thought for a minute.
Ragini took Laksh hands, put in her waist and made herself in his embrace.
“Purusha! Everything will be alright. They are going to be with us until tomorrow evening. “Ragini said.
Laksh dozed off in sleep as he was so tired. Ragini was thinking about Laksh’s words and Sahil.
Clock strucked as Time is 12:00 AM.
Ragini smiled and turned to look Laksh’s face. .His hairs was dancing in air because of fan speed. Though his face looked a bit tired because of work, A smile frozen in his face.
“Happy wedding anniversary , purusha.”Ragini kissed in his forehead and put her head on his hard chest.
The next day morning, 5:00,
Ragini woke up by hearing knock on the door.
Swara and Sahil stood there with parcels and coffee in their hand.
“Coffee…”Swara gave coffee in Ragini’s hands while ragini surprised by seeing Swara awake at early morning.
Sahil went to Laksh and tapped on his shoulders.
“Laksh… wake up”Sahil said while Laksh held his hand.
“what is this Sahi?Give me my debt. Then, only I wake up”Laksh said in half sleep and turning other side.
Sahil fell on bed because of Laksh’s strong grip.
Ragini put the coffee on table and ran to Laksh. Because , she only knew what he will do next.
“debt…”Sahil muttered confusingly.
“It’s not Sahi’s hands”Laksh thought , opened his eyes and saw Sahil next to him.
“Sahil…”Laksh jumped on bed literally.
“what happened ,Laksh?”Sahil asked concernedly and confusedly.
“Nothing happened.”Laksh thought and thanked god.
“what is that debt you were talking about?”Sahil asked while ragini started to blush.
Swara smiled by seeing this.
“Leave it, Sahil. Rago ka and Laksh, go and take bath. Come to hall by wearing this in next half an hour”Swara said in a strict tone .
Laksh looked at her confusedly.
“Sahil, let’s go”Swara said and both went out of room.
Ragini closed the room door.
Laksh walked towards Ragini and captured her inbetween his hands and wall.
“Give my debt, Sahi!”Laksh said in a husky tone.
“Laksh…”Ragini stammered as still his closeness made her forget everything.
Laksh lightly kissed on her lips while Ragini responded. Her day starts with him and ends with him.
Laksh broke the kiss and whispered in Ragini’s ear,”Happy wedding anniversary, Sahi!”
Ragini smiled while Laksh opened the parcels.
A red silk saree with a turmeric dot in corners , A red silk shirt with red bordered silk dhoti was kept in parcel.
Laksh caressed the clothes.
“See Sahi! What are they brought for us? They also didn’t forget about this day”Laksh said emotionally.
Ragini smiled,”Go Laksh. If we are late,Swara will eat us alive”ragini said to make him normal.
After half an hour,
Ragini and Laksh was standing infront of Sumi and Shekar’s photo.
Some tears cornered in Ragini’s eyes by seeing her maa and Appa’s photo.
Laksh side hugged her while Ragini wiped her tears before noticed by Sahil and Swara.
Ragini and Laksh turned while Swara was standing with payash.
“Laksh, feed Rago ka and you…”Swara winked her eyes while Ragini blushed.
Ragini and Laksh both feed each other .
“hmmm… didn’t I tell you before red shirt would match Laksh very good?”Swara said .
“ok ok… but saree is my selection.”Sahil said while Swara and Sahil were busy at glaring each other.
“but, we already spending a little money .why are you stressing yourself? It would have definitely take 6000 to 7000”Laksh asked being concerned about them.
“it’s nothing Laksh. you sent us enough of money. even after spending a lot, still we saved something “Swara said while giving a list to Laksh.
“These are famous places in Ooty. Go wherever you both want but don’t enter here before lunch”Swara said while pushing Ragini while Sahil was pushing Laksh.
“but…”Laksh started while Sahil interrupted.
“no but’s and if’s. go “Sahil said.
Ragini and Laksh smiled and went out as they can’t win.
Smile faded from Swara and Sahil’s face as guilt was overpowering their happiness.
Hours rolled,
Swara and Sahil were busy in preparing special lunch for RagLak.
“hi Swara.. Sahil”Uttara entered.
“hi Uttara ka…”Swara and Sahil said in unison.
“Don’t you have college today?”Swara asked as being surprised.
“hmm…I bunked. What can I do there without my friend? It would be boring.”Uttara said .
“I don’t know what you will do on your Last year. Rago ka is one year senior to you”Swara said while giggling.
“hmmm.. in that case… I will make her professor in that same college”Uttara said and jumped as it’s a great idea.
Swara and Sahil laughed .
“Atleast spare innocent student’s life…”Swara said.
“Swara, yesterday night I came here to meet you and I heard…”Uttara started.
Suddenly, The situation became tighter environment.
“Swara … Sahil… I understand you both are in guilt because of your dependency on ragini. do you know how much they will be hurt if they know you are feeling like this?”Uttara asked.
Sahil remained silent.
“we never let them know, Uttara ka. Please you also don’t tell them”Swara said in a pleading tone.
“I am being with ragini just for 4 months. You didn’t understand her being her sister as I am understanding, Swara. For Ragini, your single move is enough to understand your feelings. And For Laksh, By seeing your eyes, he will know what you are thinking. Do you think you can hide this from them?”Uttara asked.
“what would we do,Uttara ka? Rago ka and Laksh are our world. But. they are suffering and sacrificing for us. But , we? What did we do for Laksh? if we were not in his life,He would have been continued his studies… he would have been lived with Rago ka happily “Swara said.
Uttara smiled sadly.
“no Swara… ragini and Laksh are your world. but, you and Sahil are their life. for them, you both are their kids. You don’t know what you did for Laksh, Swara. the smile.. the happiness… you both are making him live his life,Swara.”Utttara blurted but stopped in middle as Swara’s gaze fell on her confusingly.
“Swara, you both are his family. do you think they are suffering? No… not at all… they may be struggling financially now. But, it’s not for a long time. Still now, I didn’t see a happy couple as Ragini and Laksh , their love for each other keep them happy in all their struggling times. And, when you are achieving your dreams,Laksh would be the happinest man in this world. At least For Laksh, leave your guilt . you both are not burden to him. you both are his family… then, it’s all in your hands”Uttara said and left as her phone buzzed with Sanskar’s name.
“Hello bhai”Uttara said.
“hello Uttu… I am in a temple in Market place. Tell me the way to your house”Sanskar said.
Uttara looked at Swara and Sahil.
“no… it wouldn’t be correct time. If Sanskar bhai came here, he would definitely not control his temper”Uttara thought.
“bhai… be here in the same temple. I am coming…”Uttara said.
“Swara… Sahil… I have an important work. I will return in half an hour”Uttara said.
In Mariamman temple,
Sanskar was waiting for Uttara and his eyes frozen when he saw Laksh .
“Lucky…”Sanskar smiled by seeing his brother after a long 3 plus years.
He stepped forward but Laksh words in letter ringed in his mind.
“why did you do that,Lucky?”Sanskar muttered in sadness as he can’t keep hatred for his lucky.
Panditji gave vermillion as prashad.
Laksh filled ragini’s mang with vermillion while Ragini smiled and put vermillion in mangalsutra.
“that girl” Sanskar remembered Ragini as a school girl.
“Did he marry that girl?”Sanskar muttered in shock.
“That too without telling us…”Sanskar’s anger got raised by remembering all the accusations and his family sufferings.
Sanskar put a step forward.
“he got his happiness after a long time, bhai. Leave him now. She don’t know anything about him including his prison life…”a voice stopped him.
“Uttu…”Sanskar turned.
Uttara held his hand,”Trust me bhai. I will make Laksh return to our house soon as our lucky… my lucky”Uttara said in a promising tone.
Sanskar saw Laksh who was smiling whole heartedly while helding Ragini’s hands.
Sanskar turned and caressed Uttaras face.
“how are you, Uttu?”Sanskar asked.
“when I am with my lucky, how will I be? I would be definitely happy”Uttara said by hiding all her pain in smile.
Sanskar smiled .
“Bhai, please don’t come here until I say. Even don’t inform about Laksh where about to Aman bhai. he will be here next minute. And I don’t know How will ragini take about the truth and Laksh’s prison life.”Uttara said.
Sanskar took a heavy breath.
“ok, uttu. But, you have to call me everyday. Take care…”Sanskar said as he was going to leave as he was scared to lose his control and end up a fight with Laksh.
Uttara gave a promising smile.
At Afternoon after lunch,
Ragini, Laksh and Uttara were in busstand to sent off Swara and Sahil.
“Swara… have your meals at correct time. Don’t skip it. Sahil, don’t fight with anyone. Study well”Ragini said.
“water and biscuits…”Ragini asked as bus was started.
“I bought it already and it was in front zip of swara’s bag”Uttara said while Ragini gave her thanking smile.
“bye Rago ka… bye Laksh…”Swara and Sahil waved their hands as bus moved.
Laksh smiled by seeing a genuine smile in Swara and Sahil’s face.
Ragini sobbed a little as their separation was still hurting her.
Laksh side hugged her to console while Uttara left the place silently by giving privacy.
Ragini got back to normal after five minutes.
“Sahi! How did you convince Sahil and Swara? Finally, I saw a genuine smile in their face.”Laksh said.
“uttara did that purusha. I explained her and she did. Really, I am blessed Purusha. when I saw you first time, I thought you would be my soul mate and when I saw Uttara, I thought she would be my best friend. See, now both became true. I have my purusha who loves me a lot and a friend who treats me as her own sister. I don’t need to tell about Swara and Sahil. If my amma and appa…”ragini stopped.
“they are always with us, Sahi.”Laksh said and tighted his grip.
Ragini leaned on laksh shoulder’s and walked towards her house.
At evening,
Laksh went outside and Ragini was pressing her clothes to wear tomorrow and looking at mobile every five minutes.
Uttara entered Raglak’s room.
“arre Rago! Swara and Sahil will reach tomorrow afternoon. Don’t worry”Uttara said while ragini gave a helpless look.
“I can’t do anything, Uttu. Until I get a news that they reach safely, I can’t “ragini said while putting pressed clothes in cupboard.
“till now I didn’t gift you for your wedding anniversary. Close your eyes”Uttara said.
Ragini closed her eyes while Uttara made her wear a bangle.
Ragini opened her eyes and shocked to see golden bangle in her hand which was having emerald and sappire in it.
“it looks costly…”Ragini said while Uttara held her hand tightly.
“Rago, it’s my maa bangle . don’t remove it.”Uttara said softly yet in a stronger tone.
Ragini looked at Uttara as she knew the importance of maa’s bangle.
“but…”Ragini hesitated.
“Rago,. please wear this for me”Uttara said in a pleading tone.
Ragini nodded half heartedly.
“ok, I will come at night. Today, I bunked classes. I don’t know how much Our slide head(HOD) will scold me”Uttara said in a worrying tone and started to leave.
In hall,
Laksh entered while Uttara was leaving.
Laksh held her hands while Uttara looked at him questioningly.
“Return back to your family,Uttara”Laksh said in a cold tone.
“I am with my family”Uttara replied with a smile.
“Lucky is dead two year ago. Here , no one is your family”Laksh said in a hardened tone.
Uttara looked at Laksh directly in his eyes.
“Lucky is alive, Because I am alive still now. The day Lucky die,Uttara will be no nore. Because we promised to be together”Uttara said and left without waiting for Laksh’s reply.
“Don’t make it harder,uttu. Go to our family and don’t return back. Because The truth will destroy our family and you can’t take it.”Laksh murmured.
Flashback ends…
Aadi saw Ragini’s face which was lost in her memories.
“Rago maa…”Aadi touched her hand which made Ragini came out of her thoughts and took a deep breath.
“They can do anything for Laksh”Ragini said while Uttara entered with a bag.
“Aadi… Driver gave it to me. you missed in car itself. What are these jewels?”Uttara asked while taking jewels in her hand
“Maa…”Ragini murmured by seeing the jewels.
In MM,
Laksh was massaging Ap’s legs.
“Laksh, I am ok…”Ap said.
“who said you are ok,maa? Why did you go for darshan? You fainted there because of your low BP. First tell me, who is that idiot gave this idea to you? if I find him, I will break his bones”Laksh gritted his teeth as Others lied him about Ap’s health as just low bp.
Ap smiled a bit.
“Laksh, I am ok. Go and sleep. It’s already 10:00”Ap said while caressing Laksh’s hair.
Laksh looked Ap who was sleepy and decided to leave the room.
Laksh went out of the room and felt a deep pain in his head. He sat where he stood and held his head.
In Office room,
DP was staring a long portrait.
“ do you know about me that I’m ragini’s sister?isn’t Uncle?”Dp turned by hearing Swara’s voice.
Dp put a smile in his face.
“even I know you are Rudra’s daughter,Swara. May be you don’t know.”Dp said without turning which made Swara shock.
“how do you know about me?”Swara asked.
Outside office room,
Laksh held his head in pain.
“Laksh, are you ok?”Sahil asked and made him drink water.
Laksh looked at Sahil blankly.
“what am I doing here?”Laksh asked himself being not to remember.
“I am ok, Sahil…”Laksh stood and started to walk while Sahil looked at him worriedly.
In Aadi’s house,
“how did you get those jewels,Aadi?”Ragini asked while giving sharp look to Aadi.
“She gave me to take care of Sahil after her marriage. And She is…”Aadi stopped.
“She is…”Ragini asked to tell further.
“Going to marry Sanskar maheshwari…”Aadi said finally after gathering his confidence.
“no… it shouldn’t happen. No… what if they get to know her real identity… no… they will kill her”Ragini yelled while her whole body shook in fear and anger.
Aadi held Ragini while Uttara looked at her worriedly.
“Rago maa.. until I am here, I won’t let that marriage happen.Don’t worry. Soon, I will take Swara and Sahil both here”Aadi tried to convince Ragini.
“no Aadi. you are speaking without knowing the seriousness. The day , they know Swara is my sister, they will kill her…”Ragini said .
“But, why are they doing this? ”Aadi asked being not able understand.
“Because she is Rudra’s daughter… After Laksh, now she is only the rightlful heir…”Ragini stopped and turned as she remembered what she said.
“rago maa…”Aadi uttered in shock , held Ragini by her shoulders and turned her.
“Rago maa…”Aadi called. His concerned voice broke her walls which she built herself to not cry… to store her pain which she made base for her revenge.
“They will kill her Aadi… as they killed our own parents… As they killed my Amma and Appa. They will kill her, Aadi. I can’t lose her or Sahil… I want them…”Ragini cried after a long time in the fear of losing her Swara, kneeled down.
Aadi mind rewinded Ragini’s each and every words and kneeled beside ragini. Sumi and Shekar’s face flashed in his eyes.
“who did this ,Rago maa and why?”Aadi asked while a deep anger emerged inside him.
“Durgaprasad Maheshwari….”Ragini said in a deep hatred tone as she even didn’t want to spell his name.
