The next morning
Sun was at horizon and he was still comfortably sleeping
He changed his position and sun rays hit his face he covered himself in duvet
But he was no longer able to sleep
He decided to wake up
Pervious night he was dam tried he looked at the clock it was 10:30 now
“I slept for so long and ragini” he looked around the room and didn’t find her
“she didn’t wake me also” he thought and walked towards washroom
After freshing up when he walked out he found her arranging bed
“good morning or better say afternoon” she said with her ever glowing smile
He was lost in it
‘she looks cute’ he thought
“why didn’t you wake me” I asked walking towards dressing
“you were tried and I didn’t want to disturb your pretty sleep anyways papa ji asked you to have rest for today so thought not to disturb you” she said
And he just nodded his head
“ragini” he called
“yeah”
He was bit embarrassed but his stomach growled in hunger
Last night to he didn’t have proper dinner
“lunch is ready you can come down If you wish or I’ll send it here” she said with light smile
He nodded his head and followed her
She looked confused from the time she is the one speaking and he is just nodding his head
‘strange guy’ she thought and walked down
Swara was uncomfortable finding laksh at dinning because usually the men and women don’t eat together at Maheswari bhavan
But things were do changing
Having ragini back at MM things were ruined for swara
She loved being center of attention and ragini’s entry and AP’s health didn’t let her have so
It was tough for her to decide because laksh had been avoiding her he was least bothered about her presence as if he never loved her
After serving everyone when ragini was about to sit swara stood up
Ragini had guessed that reaction it had become usual for her to hear her tantrums
Laksh looked at both sisters and he was also confused but he decided to ignore
“ragini serve me some rice” he said concentrating on food ragini nodded
“mom I’ll have my lunch in my room” swara said glaring ragini
And Sujatha just nodded in agreement
Swara was infiltrated that no one actually bothered
Everyone in house needed time things had changed
And it was difficult to figure out and everyone wanted to avoid any kind of conflict for time being
For AP’s sake but that never meant there was no hate or anger between all
Adarsh disliked the idea of sanskar joining the business
Though sanskar owned his own company his presence in Maheswari’s business would snatch future position of Adarsh
Laksh had just joined the business and he needed guidance and his both brothers did give him needed knowledge and he was least aware Adarsh feelings for sanskar
Sanskar had joined the business has he thought he needed to mend his relations with DP and he was working for that to
Parinitha was waiting for the time when she will be given responsibility of house and she kinda deserved to but present situation was different
She disliked swara for her arrogant attitude and ragini she didn’t have any hard feeling for now
Uttra had decided to ignore the mess and concentrate on her studies
The Maheswari family looked more messed now
Though everything looked together but it was falling apart and this was something AP was sacred most about
She worried for her son married life and other the way the present generation was moving towards
Many things needed to be sort out but the ego between all didn’t give chance
Ragini was worried day after tomorrow is court’s first hearing and she has not informed laksh about it till now
Rudra had been calling her and asking her to speak to him as soon as possible
After she returned they never had any discussion about divorcee
‘what should I do please help me khanaji’ she was miserably failing to stand on her decision she herself had said laksh that once AP is fine she’ll divorcee him and now she is doubting if she can
In this one week there relation had seen many development for a moment a hope raised in her heart that even he can love her but can he
Practically speaking she was never his type and opposite never attracts that’s true
She was moving here and there in room waiting for laksh
He had been to office
He entered the room she looked at him but he looked tried
“I am tried” he said falling back on bed
“I’ll get coffee for you” she said walking out
When she returned she found him deep sleep
She tried to wake him but he was kumbkaran
She looked at him he was in his formals
She removed his shoes and socks and loosened the wrist buttons and placed his watch on dressing
She walked back placed his head on pillow and covered him with duvet
He indeed had a handsome face and she laughs at the thought that how every day he cares for his handsome face
She walked towards the balcony
The cold wind gave her shivers
She looked at the moon
‘I am confused ma what to do what not heart says give last chance and mind says you deserve better’
She closed her eyes tight hoping that some one would wake her up and tell what ever happened till date was all a dream
———-
The next day
Laksh was searching something in cupboard and he found a notice letter there he checked it
And it was notice of there divorcee hearing
His heart shunk and he fell down with thud
‘what was happening divorcee but’ he closed his eyes in frustration
How could he forget that that was all he wanted in past that was what ragini had promised when she returned back to his life
‘no I can’t but what will I say’ it was hard for him to accept the fact that tomorrow was there divorcee hearing
He didn’t want that to happen and but he didn’t know how to stop it he didn’t want her to leave but he didn’t know why he felt that way now
Ragini entered the room and saw him sitting idle
She walked to him
“laksh”
And found the letter in his hand
“I was about to tell you” he fisted the letter
And just stood and walked out
She was confused but thought may he didn’t accept things this fast
He walked hastily out and AP was worried seeing his state
Something was wrong a mother can feel a child’s problem even before he can
He banged his hand hard on car
He drove car harshly on roads and stopped near a cliff
“what is happening this was what I wanted na then why am I feeling like this” he screamed
He never felt this way even when swara had left the mandap he never felt cheated then why now did
It was night and laksh had not returned yet
Ragini was worried she clutched her mangalsutra tight
His phone was not reachable she had tried number of times
“please pick the phone damit” she screamed when it was ringing but no response
Tears were ready to fall from her eyes
“ragini” sanskar knocked her door
She looked confused
They walked down and found all family there
“what happened sanskar” DP asked
“bade papa laksh met an accident” he said
The tears which she was holding fell down her eyes
When I opened my eyes I found myself in hospital
‘gosh what had happened’ and then all the events related played in my mind
That while driving back home my car breaks failed and I ended up here
I tried to analyze the whole scene
‘I was agitated and the result is so’
I closed my eyes in frustration
I moved a bit
And then I relaised that other than me some one else was also in room
“laksh” her voice made me forze
Her painful eyes made me feel guilty
“you are fine” she asked and I nodded
Next few minutes doctor was exaiming me but my whole concentration was towards her
Her face had tears marks it and evident that she had cried a lot and her state did make me feel that I am lucky to have some one like her who loves me so much
Even I myself don’t know what I did that she loves me so much and I was guilty from the time her truth was out and now I felt terrible
‘was I being to selfish then’ but I don’t know
What next
“he’s perfectly fine mrs.maheswari” the doctor said
“and I think even you should have proper rest from last evening you are here and its mid night now” the doctor said and left the room
I looked at her whole time she was here when I had least idea what was going on
“ragini”
“hmmm”
“you look tried” I said
“and terrible to” she said
I actually felt to chuckle but I didn’t you never know when girls get angry on silly comments
“I know that” she said as I didn’t give any proper response
“sleep laksh you need rest” she said covering me with sheets
“and you”
“I’ll also have small nap” she smiled
And moved towards the couch placed in my ward
She had fallen asleep assuring once I was fine

The next morning
It was dam tough to console ma I was thanking my stars that Ragini was better she had managed herself and it did made me think I girl I knew was dam sensitive but now the ragini infront of me was different she looked strong but I don’t know why I don’t like this shade of her
‘was she this strong always and I failed to notice or there was something which I never tried to know about her’
I was smiling like hell
When sanskar narrated how she scolded Rudra
All were confused but I did know the reason
For sure he would have brought our divorcee topic out and she would have scolded him for wrong timings
Next few hours terrible ragini had been to MM and I was left with my brothers
Its not like I don’t like there company but I needed my wife I had so much to speak so much to know
I had broken my hand and fractured leg
And my silly brother were busy writing some illogical msg on plaster
“bhai” I chided but no they were in no mood to stop
They were taking revenge
“areh sanskar write nicely” Adarsh bhai said keeping his hand on sanskar’s shoulder
“is this ok” he asked and bhai nodded on
God these people
“bhai I have a wife” I said and they looked up at me
“so” and they continued there nonsense
“areh his hand is left out” sanskar bhai said
“no ways enough no more” I said but these guys are terrible
“ahh” I felt pain my hand god
“laksh” she called my name
Finally my svaiour came
“how can you leave me alone with these idiots” I screamed when she was trying to help me
“its paining” doctor was called and when he was checking ragini was scolding sanskar badly
Hehe I was enjoying this
Once doctor was done both of them silently seanked out
Ragini sat next to me
She looked at me and then plaster
“they are terrible” I said and she nodded in agreement and gave innocent look
“no need to give that look” and she busted into hearty laugh
I smiled looking at her
It was long that I had seen her so
ok now I’ll read out my brothers’ creative work
they made a doremon and with msg ‘langada godha’ (lame horse) which was not funny
and then there was heart with arrow passing and written ‘romeo died’
gosh
next was ‘jesi karni vesi bharni’ (what you sow that you reap) that was by Adarsh bhai
then it was list of some girls whom I had dated
and then a angry takla man barking (and I know who it was) hehe
next it was a donut and a fork
and a apple
I need to change my plaster
———
Laksh was strictly advised for bed rest
Its been week he returned back
And it was strange his accident just didn’t change his and ragini’s equation but also his bond with his brothers
He had seen swara once in hospital and the day he returned home
After that never
In day everyone do comes and ask about his health but she never does and he doesn’t care to
Adarsh was trying to be the elder brother and trying to understand others priorities
Sanskar realized that there was something wrong and he sorted that matter with adrash a evening before laksh’s accident
Sanskar was not sure wheter he should continue his relation with swara
Some times her arrogance was not tolerable
And he had shared this with ragini
But she advised him that she was herself disturbed she needed time and support
But he didn’t know was that true because the way she had turned over demanding did raged him
Ap had a big relief that finally everything was sorted
It looks perfect
Laksh had realized that he had started loving his wife
He did feel different for her but was waiting for a right moment to say that
He wanted to give her all happiness
The night passed by there late talks some times movies
And during this period laksh did realize that ragini was different she had a good knowledge of business as she did help him
To not let him bored
Sanskar had set up a mini office in home
And interesting fact ragini played video game better than sanskar wow
Usually when laksh and sanskar play sanskar wins but due to his facture he couldn’t and he didn’t know from where ragini and sanskar had ended up in bet and actually she bet him
I was shocked ragini plays video games but when how
Later she said how secretly she used to sneek to Shsha place and she and Rudra used to play along
Rudra this guy was pain for laksh for a fact he didn’t like him
Firstly he was more to ragini than him and second he did have a handsome face better than laksh
And that hurt his ego
He looked bit fat now because continuous rest did make him look obese
And she loved teasing him
Its been two weeks now
Doctor had advised him to go for small walks
And ragini had taken that responsibility
Every evening she used to help him walk in garden
He was better now
But some one was not and it was swara
She gritted her teeths looking at their happy faces
———-
When ragini was not in room swara slowly sneaked in
Laksh was surprised seeing her
“ragini is not here she went down” he said and swara was trying to control her rage
“how are you laksh”
“better than before” he said lifting his broken hand a bit
“good”
———-
When ragini walked up she saw swara along with laksh both looked happy and she smiled at them
As she entered swara stood up and left giving a smirk to ragini
Laksh looked at her direction and then at ragini
“Finally you came just help me to change” he said and she looked shocked
“why you wanna change now” she asked
Ok from the time he has returned its always sanskar or Adarsh who help him
They make sure that he freshed up before they leave for work
“I am just bored in these colors”
“you don’t have to go anywhere”
“still I should look handsome patient” he said
“but no one is in home sanskar and Adarsh bhai is out and papa ji to wait let me check if chachu is here” she was about to go he held her wrist
She looked at him baffled
“is chachu my wife” she nodded in no
“so mrs.laksh Maheswari just help me out” he said and she didn’t know what to say
She hesitated but then slowly removed his shirt
Her hands were shivering and he could feel it
He felt a electric shock when her fingers contacted his skin
He enjoyed her touch
She closed her eyes trying to control her thumping heart
She some how managed to make him wear shirt
She stood silent now
“what happened” he asked
And she nodded as nothing and as something
“what” she was scared but then pointed towards torso pants
He was controlling his laugh looking at her
“if you want I won’t mind” he said
And her eyes popped in shock
“umm”
He winked at her and she ran out of room
He laughed looking at her situation
‘just some days and then everything will be fine’ he thought in mind
———-
Through out the next week swara made sure that she visted laksh then and now
Ragini found that odd but thought to ignore
When everything was sorting she didn’t want to create new mess
She was happy
Swara started speaking to her
But then she did realize by her words that laksh and swara looked more perfect than her and him her heart did pain but she thought may be she was overthinking
Laksh was to hospital for his check up Adarsh had accompanied him
Laksh was able to walk now his leg plaster was removed but hand needed some more days for recovery
Ragini was passing through corridor when she over heard swara’s phone conversation with some one
“ha dida yeah soon everything will be fine I and laksh have spoken about it and we both are clear that we can never get over each other” her words crashed ragini’s world
“I am so happy dida finally laksh confessed that he loves me”
“ha dida don’t worry anyways he’ll divorcee ragini soon”
“and ragini was never his type and who can love that bhenji and after what she did no one can forgive her she separated me and him she will suffer for that”
Ragini didn’t feel anything more she just walked out of house
Swara smirked looking at her state
‘just wait and watch ragini you’ll pay for snatching laksh form me’ she thought in mind
FB
That day when swara came to speak to laksh he had clearly said her that he loves his wife and what he felt for swara was just attraction and nothing much and soon he’ll confess his feelings to her soon
Swara then plastered smile that she was happy for her sister and would like to continue her and laksh’s friendship
Fb ends
Ragini just walked inside Rudra’s cabin he was worried looking at her
From the time she came she didn’t speak a word
“ragini what happened” Sasha asked kneeling down
She bust into tears
Sasha looked horrified looking at her state she had never seen ragini like that
“why am I so unfortunate in love” she asked painfully
“first my mother left me then dad never cared for my existence and when I though laksh will love me he loved my sister”
“don’t I deserve to be loved”
