Ansh walked along with Dhwani and sat in the garden. It was Sunday and they were in Rawat Mansion and Ansh had decided that he will stay in Rawat mansion with Dhwani for the few days before she is married.

He wasn't still convinced with the idea that the marriage was the right thing for his sister. But the things started happening so quickly it did not give him time to decide. He had seen a hope in Ragini's eyes that her daughter also will be married like any normal girl.

He could not see beyond that hope. Only thing still hurt him was the reluctance of Dhwani towards her parent.

He decided to try one more time to mend the broken relations.

"Pooh Bear" he called and Dhwani looked up at him from the puzzle she was trying to solve.

"Shall we play there today?" he asked pointing at the playground. Dhwani gave him a wide smile and nodded her head.

He walked towards the playground along with Dhwani. She ran to her favorite swing and sat on it and Ansh moved the swing and she giggled as the swing went up and then came back down.

"I'm tired Zorro" she said after they played with all the games there. "Come" he held her hand and moved to a bench to relax.

Dhwani took breaths to relax and Ansh caressed her hair.

"Zorro" she said and Ansh looked at her.  "What is marriage?" asked she and Ansh smiled at her. "It's a promise to stay together. No matter what happens not leaving your life partner's side. Making them happy and understanding them. Loving them" he said and Dhwani tried to grasp what he said.

"I did not understood" she scratched her head and he chuckled lightly.

"I think if I tell you a story you will understand" he placed his fingers at his chin. "Story..... Story" Dhwani squealed happy.

"Okay" Ansh nodded his head.

"There was this man who was very sad on his life becuase everyone used to blame him for something he never did"
Ansh looked at Dhwani who was listening curiously.

"Poor man" She said sadly.  "Then there entered this girl who actually was responsible for all his problems and blames" Ansh was interrupted by Dhwani who said " oh he might have hated her right and punished Her for everything"

Ansh smiled. "He actually tried to but she was special. She could not be hated." he said.

"How can nobody hate her?" asked confused. "Because she used to fill everyone's life with happiness and make their life worth living" he said.

"She was a fairy?" asked Dhwani. "Sort of" he said and Dhwani smiled.

"But he fell in love with her" he said and remembered Ragini and Sanskar working in office and their fights.

"Fell? " asked Dhwani. Ansh smiled. "Hmm. Fell in love means he was deeply in love with her. So much that he even was ready to sacrifice his life for her" he remembered the accident where Sanskar pushed Ragini along with Ansh to save them.

"He got hurt? " Dhwani's eyes went wide. Ansh nodded his head and Dhwani felt bad.

"But then the girl who loved him changed his life. She brought happiness in his life and made him laugh and live his life" Ansh said remembering Sanskar and Ragini's time after the accident.

"She is so sweet" Dhwani smiled widely. Ansh chuckled looking at her.

"Then there was a decision he had to make because his nephew requested him to make the girl as his mother who died in accident and everyone was blaming him to be responsible for it" he remembered his birthday wish to Sanskar.

"So she was responsible for the accident?" asked Dhwani.

"Nobody was responsible for the accident Pooh Bear. But fate made her to cause the accident" he said.

"Didn't the girl knew about it. Why did she not tell about it to all. Didn't she loved the man? " asked Dhwani.

"She was hurt in the accident also so she forgot everything before the accident" Ansh said.

"Oh no then the man will make the girl to become his nephew's mother" she said worried.

"Yeah because he wanted the girl to not to suffer the guilt in case she gains her memory back" Ansh wiped the tear.

"Oh no" Dhwani nodded her head. "Did she got married to nepbew's father?" asked Dhwani.

"if they had married I think half of the universe might have destroyed" Ansh chuckled remembering Ragini and Sahil's fights.

"Then? " asked she innocently.  "Luckily the nephew understood that his uncle loves the girl and said that she will be his mother even if she is married to the man" he smiled.

"Wow that nephew is very smart" Dhwani said smiling widely.

Ansh chuckled. "But she got a panic attack and was admitted in hospital" Ansh said sadly.

"Oh no" Dhwani said shocked. "When she gained consciousness she had lost her memory" Ansh said.

"Again?" asked Dhwani. Ansh nodded his head weakly.

"Then she forgot him also?" Dhwani asked sadly. Ansh nodded his head. Dhwani sadly lowered her head.

"He went away from her not pressure her to remember him" he said dropping a tear. "Why does he likes to punish himself? " Dhwani asked.

"I told you he loved the girl and to keep her happy and safe he would do anything" Ansh smiled.

"Then after three years fate brought them face to face" Ansh said. "This is interesting." Dhwani said smiling.

"She again started loving him and they got married even though she had lost her memory her heart had never lost that feel around him" Ansh remembered their meet in the garden.

"Finally" Dhwani squealed happy. "But" Ansh stopped. "Again but. Zorro" she whined.

"But when she was carrying the baby she was told that it was her who caused the accident and responsible for all his blame" Ansh remembered Ashish's naming ceremony and the incidents.

"Who did that?  Might be someone with no brain" Dhwani said angry. Ansh remembered Sahil and chuckled.

"Everyone hated her na?  This is why the man did not reveal it" Dhwani said sad.

Ansh nodded his head. "I had told you nobody could hate her. But she hated herself because the man's nephew whom she loved most; his mother's death was caused by her. She made the man to tolerate all the blames" he said and Dhwani's eyes dropped the tear.

"She shut herself from everyone. Even from the man" he said and Dhwani's lips twitched.

"Why did she do that?  The man loved her a lot and he had gone through so much for her" she asked.

"The same thing hurt her baby. She was someone who cause every pain in his life at the same time she was the cure for his every pain" Ansh closed his eyes letting those tears.

"So bad. They had to go through a lot. Specially the man. He loved her so much" she said sad.

"But eventually he made everything fine in the girl's life. He made her embrace everyone from whom she was running away due to her guilt" he smiled.

"Awww. He is so sweet" Dhwani said dreamily.

"Then she had to make a choice" he stopped folding his lips.

"Choice?" asked Dhwani. "She had to save the nephew who was her life but the cost was her baby's life" he said and Dhwani looked at him confused.

"She did not even thought for one second before chosing to save the nephew's life and..." he in took a sharp breath.

"the baby died?" asked Dhwani. Ansh nodded his head.

"It survived but the mother slipped to coma. The situation was so bad that the man had to take her to a country where there were advance techniques to keep her alive becuase she was at the verge of dying" he said weakly engulfing the building emotions.

"But he did not wanted to leave his baby behind. It was his weakness and life. But he knew he could not take care of it and could not give it all his time. So he left the baby in a hope that it will have a family to look after and a Zorro who will take care of her like a mother and protect her like a father. And his baby will not be deprived of that"

When Ansh finished Dhwani took no time to understand the story was her story. Her father's and mother's story.

It was how and why Sanskar left her.

She stared blankly for a good amount of time dropping the tears silently and Ansh let her to do that in a hope she will understand what exactly happened.

She got up furiously and walked towards the mansion and Ansh worried looking at her expression.

It looked like she was reminded of the pain again and she will take the frustration out on Sanskar again.

He followed her and tried to stop her.

She reached Ragini and Sanskar's room and stood fuming. She found Sanskar looking at the ornaments.

"This is what I dreamed Dhwani will wear on her Sangeet" his eyes dropped a tear and Ragini wiped it.

"You know Ragini when I took her first time in my embrace I felt very strange. Like I'm watching part of me which is so beautiful that the words could not define. When she held my finger with her little hands it made my eyes flood becuase I knew I was going to let her live without me. And that feeling killed me" he said and Ragini felt bad looking at him so vulnerable.

"I really wanted to be the best father to her but then I did not had the courage to lose you" he looked into Ragini's eyes.

"But I lost my daughter" he closed his eyes holding her hand.

"Paa" he heard a voice and his heart suddenly stopped and then beat fastly.

Ansh who stood beside Dhwani looked at her shocked.

Ragini and Sanskar stood up and turned to look at the door.

Dhwani cried looking at her father.  "Paa" she called and ran to him.

Kuch aisi lagan iss lamhe me hai
Yeh lamha kaha tha mera......

He felt breathless when Dhwani's head was on his chest.

Was he dreaming. He smiled taking deep breaths slowly.

"Paa" she said again and he cried bitterly and hugged her.

Khushiya chumlu.... Ya Rolu Zara.....
Marjavu ya jeelu Zara......

*****.******

So here is what I actually thought of the story.

Some of you might have assumed that I changed the story as some of the readers wanted me to keep the baby alive.

But the fact was this was what I always planned then there was a kind of displeasure among some reader which made me to end the RagSan part soon.

But I gained the plot back and I'm extremely happy to do that.

I don't write to please someone. If that was the case I would have stopped writing long back. My purpose of writing is it is my passion.

The story I develop is like my kid whom I love though the world is against it.

So I love all the twists and turns I bring.

From here the story will concentrate more on Dhwani Shlok and Ansh Anika's life.
 
Here I need your suggestion.

So shall I end this book with a epilogue in the next chapter and after that the story will be continued in a new book named "Moirai"

Or continue in the same book.

So let me know of your suggestions.

Love

Sally 😘
