Sanskar's sleep was disturbed when he heard a loud noise. Someone was banging the plate with a ladle. He opened his eyes and looked at the clock.

It was 8 in the morning. He held his paining head and sat up on his bed. Still the sound did not stop.

He pushed the quilt aside and walked out of his room in half asleep state only.

"What the hell?" he closed his ears when he heard the sound still louder.

"Good morning Husband" she turned and Sanskar's eyes went as wide as possible.

He could not believe what he was seeing. Ragini dressed in a Saree and a sleeveless blouse.

"Ra... " his words got interrupted when Annapurna and Sujata walked out of the kitchen and Annapurna spoke "What's that noise?  Who was banging the plate?"

She stopped when she looked at Ragini.

"Ragini?" she looked at Ragini surprised.

"Why are you dressed like this? And why were you banging the plate?" she asked.

"Um... " before she could speak she was pulled by Sanskar who made her to face him.

"What the hell is all this?" he looked into her eyes with his burning gaze.

But his volcanic anger didn't even made her flinch.

She twitched her lips and shrugged her shoulders and was about to speak when other members of the family came to the hall.

"What's happening here?" Uttara asked as she looked at all the family members who had gathered rubbing her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Sanskar apologized and was dragging Ragini towards their room when she jerked off his hand and he stood there rooted.

He turned to her looking confused.

"You made it visible to everyone hubby. Now let me show you what is the real meaning of Tamasha" she smirked at him.

He narrowed his eyebrows still staring her as she walked back to the spot she was earlier standing.

"Good morning dear family. I'm pleased to announce that I am your new Malkin. And it's your new rule that the breakfast will be served by 8 in the morning and if you miss it you are going to stay hungry for the rest of the day and second if the ladies miss to prepare the food by then the kitchen will be locked for two days" she flipped her hair back and looked at everyone.

"It's not April 1st Ragini. So don't try to fool us" Swara spoke as she reached the dining table.

"Oh please. I am not interested in playing all that kids stuff.  I am dead serious" she rolled her eyes.

"If you say we should believe what you are saying? How convincing" Pari spoke.

"Oh I know. You people will find it difficult so I have this" she forwarded a legal paper.

Laksh took it and read.

He turned to look at his father.

He smiled sarcastically. 

"If you knew" he looked up at Ragini.

"This house and property is no more in dad's name by the way" he smirked.

"I know devar ji" Her horror strike face was changed as her lips curved up.

"Take it" she forwarded another paper.

Laksh took it and keenly read it while annoyed Sanskar walked to her holding her by her shoulder.

"Why did you do that?" Laksh turned to his brother.

"Laksh..." Sanskar looked at his brother.

"I trusted you bro" Laksh's eyes turned red and watery in the same instance.

"Listen to me Laksh" Sanskar tried to make Laksh understand.

"What more is left to listen Bhai? What explanation will you give Now?" he forwarded the paper to Sanskar.

Sanskar was totally helpless. He held his forehead and looked up.

"Speak" Laksh demanded.

"I got the property papers signed for you so that you will help us to come out of the crisis. And what did you do bro. You transferred everything to your wife's name?" Laksh's anger had no bounds.

"Why did you do that?" he asked furious.

"Laksh let me explain" Sanskar held his brother by his shoulder.

"You could have told me bro. This is what you wanted. I would have given my share to you also. Why did you cheat me?" Laksh asked nearing Sanskar.

Ragini stood in between them.

"Your loss" she shrugged her shoulders.

"And that's called Karma devar ji"she crossed her arms.

"Karma? Don't you teach me about Karma alright? I know to earn what I have lost. But I pity on your husband. He has to play so many games to earn things that I don't know how will he repay it back. Every time he cheats he gets it back" Laksh twitched his jaws nodding his head.

"Finally. You proved me wrong brother. You are not worthy of anyone's trust. Nope" he shook his head.

"And mind you. You will pay for this" he  warned.

"I will make sure you pay for it" Laksh pointed his index finger.

He felt a sharp and hard slap.

He held his cheek and looked up at Ragini.

"Ragini" Swara walked and stood beside her husband.

"Just teaching some basic manners" she turned to Swara.

"Ragini" Sanskar dragged her to face him.

"Oh hubby don't worry. Even if I'm the malkin they should respect you equally. Otherwise they have to face the consequences"she turned to look at the family members.

"And I'm just being a bit leneant today. But from tomorrow you all have to follow the rules" she walked to the dining table and sat in Durga Prasad's place.

All were still looking at her shocked.

"Saasu mom. I'm hungry" she looked at Sujata.

Sujata looked at Annapurna.

They both walked to the kitchen and started preparing the breakfast.

Sanskar looked at Ragini annoyed.

He turned to look at Laksh who was still shocked.

He furiously walked to his room and Swara followed him.

Sanskar looked at his brother helplessly.

His eyes moved to the dining table where Ragini was having her breakfast not caring.

She wasn't the Ragini he knew. Who was she?

***.****

She walked as she reached the dark room and turned the lights on. She removed the scarf on her face.

Her lips curved up when she heard the voice from behind.

"Welcome home"

"Sister" he smirked as she turned.

"This is your payment for confiding it and letting my brother escape" Kavya handed a bag full of cash to the jailer.

As the flames of the burning dead body raised she looked at it smirking.

"Isn't it easy now a days to get an unclaimed dead bodies from the morgue. Highly populated country paves way that someday you go missing and nobody knows" Her smirk darkened.

"Great job sister" she turned to her brother who was wearing the hood.

"You need to be disguised for some days brother. I will deal with the issues till then" she assured him.

"You got to finish my job little sister" he caressed her hair and she hugged him saying "Sure"

Kavya clinked Her glass of champagne with her brothers.

She showed him the message in her phone.

"The mission is almost over bro. The Ram and Lakshman have been separated. Now it's easier to conquer the Ayodhya" she looked at him.

"Time to reunite the forces. Now the weakest Sanskar Maheshwari cannot stand the blow" he stood up looking at the wall planning many things and deepening the smirk as he continued to gulp the liquid down his throat.
