Sanskar brought the food tray and placed it on the bed in front of Ragini. "I can walk. I want to eat with the family" Ragini whined. "You can. But I want to make sure you can even run not just walk. Because as soon as you step out you have to take care of Queen Victoria mother of the next heir" he rolled his eyes and Ragini hit him on his shoulder.

"Ouch" he rubbed his shoulder and took the plate and forwarded the first morsel. Ragini smiled at his caring gesture and ate the morsel. He fed her and wiped the extra food near her lips and made her eat the tablets.

He sat beside her and Ragini rested her head over his shoulder dangling her hand with his entangling their perfectly for each other fingers. Sanskar adjusted his head over hers and they sat enjoying the silence only listening their heart beats.

O Humsafar Lagta Hain Dar
Raat Kate Na Kabhie Ho Sehar
Iss Pal Mein Simte Umar
Raat Kate Na Kabhie Ho Sehar

( Tu Jo Hain Saath Mere Toh Dagar
Lage Ke Jaise Khoobsurat Ghar )...
Tu Jo Hain Saath Toh Yeh Ambar
Lage Ke Jaise Saaya Ho Sar Par
Tere Kaandhe Par Rakhkar Sar
Yun Hi Kat Jaaye Saari Umar

"Sanskar..." she called and he hummed. "I love you" she spoke lowly and he looked at her and pecked her lips. "I love you too Biwi" he smiled making her blush. "We will go on a long vacation once you are cured completely. I just want to have some time with you" he said pouting. "Aww my cute hubby wants to spend some quality time haa?" she ruffled his hair.

"How about we go to my farm house. Ramdulari also...." he smirked when she clutched herself to him fearing. "Will be there" he bit his cheeks inside looking at her. "Gosh can't you stay without mentioning her?" she whispered still in his embrace.

"She makes you near to me. So why should I let go of any chance to stay near you?" he asked staring in her eyes. She closed her eyes as he moved more close to her and his lips clashed with hers and moved in a rhythm. He dragged her near to him pulling her by her waist and she stroked his hair.

He smiled as they departed and sat touching her forehead with his. "I missed you so much" he whispered. "Even me" she blushed and he kissed her forehead. "No more" he dragged her into a warm hug.

"Go have your dinner" she said and he kissed her forehead an d walked out of the room. Ragini relaxed and lied on the bed covering herself with the quilt.

****.****
Uttara jerked when she heard the ringtone of her mobile. Her eyes went wide when she saw the name flashing on her mobile screen. "Uttara.. Your phone is ringing. Private number?" Parinita who was standing beside serving Swara spoke and Uttara dragged her phone immediately and smiled nervously.

"That's one of my friend. She was actually..." she moved her hair strands tucking them behind her ears. "She was being irritated by some idiots so she bought a private number" she smiled nervously. "Who's asking you?" Laksh spoke coldly and she moved her gaze to the person staring her -Sanskar. She smiled at him weakly and gulped the water down her throat to avoid making it clear that she was nervous.

Sanskar rolled his eyes hearing Laksh and continued to have his food. "I'm done" Uttara pushed her plate which was only half emptied. "But beta you haven't finished your food" Ram stopped her. "Um.. I had fruits papa. I am not hungry" she said and walked from there and others continued their food.

She closed the door of her room and took a deep breath. She looked at her phone fuming and dialed the last number from the call list. "Haven't I told you to text me before to check and then call?" she spoke before the other person greeted her. "That's such an unwelcoming greeting Jaan" Rajat spoke and she closed her eyes fuming.

"And I sent you a text but you did not reply. And it was urgent" he said and Uttara rolled her eyes. "Say it" she spoke. "The camera isn't working properly. After your brother's accident I haven't seen the recordings. Go there and check what's wrong with it" he said and Uttara twitched her jaws hearing him.

"That's not my problem. I am not gonna do it" she said determined. "Oh who is teaching the little bird to fly now a days? Don't you know I will cut your wings?" he threatened. "I don't give a damn anymore. I am not going to do anything you say" she said and Rajat smirked.

"You want a better drama filled trailer this time? Say it that way sweetheart. As you wish your majesty" he mocked disconnecting the call. Uttara twisted her lips and threw the phone on her bed. As she was lying on the bed she heard the beep of message on her phone.

There was a multimedia message on her phone from Rajat. She rolled her eyes and opened it. Her eyes went wide as she saw the video. She deleted it quickly and rushed downstairs. She stopped near the dining table and walked slowly so that nobody doubts her.

She walked inside Sanskar's room approached the flower vase behind which she had placed the miniaturized camera. She took it and saw it turned off. She turned it on and received a message and opened it to see "Good job" from Rajat. She closed her eyes feeling depressed.

"Uttara..." she heard her brother's voice and her heart stopped to beat suddenly. She turned with her eyes wide open and shivering hands. "When did you come?" he asked entering the room. Ragini who was asleep woke up to his voice. She turned to look at Uttara.

"You came now Uttara? Sorry I had sent the message in the afternoon" Ragini spoke as she saw Uttara shivering uncontrollably. Uttara smiled at her sister in law and then moved her gaze to look at her brother who narrowed his eyes as if not buying the stuff his wife told.

"Um bhabi... I saw you sleeping and this vase was about to fall" she showed the vase. Sanskar was still not convinced. Uttara smiled weakly and walked out of the room. Sanskar who was glaring her turned to look at his wife.

"Sanskar..." she called when he walked past the bed to reach the dressing table not happy with her words. "Why do you..." he stopped when something flashed in his mind.

"Your wife is following you from the time you left home" he remembered the phone call he received when he had reached the Khurana industries from Kavya's number. He signed his wife to be quite and she looked at him confused. He carefully walked towards the switch and turned it off making it completely dark. "What are you doing?" she asked and he signed her to stay quite. "Romancing my wife" he said while he actually walked towards the vase and analyzed it to find the miniaturized camera. He carefully turned it off searching it's switch and sighed. He walked across the room searching for any other such device. He sighed when he did not find any. He turned the switch and held the camera in front of his wife. She looked at it dazed. "Your Nanad came to plant this. Now tho will you stop protecting her?" he asked and she did not had any answer.

"I don't think she is doing it on her own..." she was not given a chance to complete her statement as Sanskar walked out of the room furious. She so did not liked his mood right now. She pushed the quilt aside. "She is in some problem Sanskar. Why don't you get it?" she spoke looking at the direction her husband walked. She moved out of the room.

All the family members were busy in the drawing area watching some movie over the television. Laksh walked Swara to room. Ragini walked without being noticed by anyone. She found Sanskar near Uttara's room and knocking the door. He moved the door and found it open and entered the room not to find his sister.

"Sanskar what are you doing?" Ragini stopped him. "What am I doing? Isn't it self explanatory?" he pointed the camera. She stretched her lips. "I understand your anger but... trust me she is having some issues I feel" she said narrowing her eyebrows and her forehead formed wrinkles.

"I want to know what made my sister to place a spy camera in our room?" he spoke fuming. He walked from there searching Uttara and Ragini followed him helplessly.

They reached the terrace where Uttara was standing watching the black sky shedding tears. "Uttara" she heard her brother's voice and turned to find him standing and Ragini just walked there.

"What's this?" he lifted his hand showing her the camera. Her eyes went wide and she stood there numb. "Uttara..." Ragini neared her and held her by her shoulders. "I know something is bothering you. You can tell us. We are your family" she looked at Uttara with concern.

"Bhabi..." she spoke nervously. "Really? You are still giving her the chance to speak after all this? What reason she will have other than the revenge for her deceased boy friend?" Sanskar spat and Uttara closed her eyes crying silently.

"Sanskar" Ragini whined looking at her husband who walked to her and dragged Uttara aside. "Why?" he asked deadly. She did not looked up. "Why?" he screamed making her jump in her place.

"Bhai.. wo.." she tried to form words but everything was falling apart. "You won't tell me right. Let me get the whole family here then you will speak" he fumed jerking her hand and walked from there towards the terrace door.

Uttara walked to Ragini who tried to stop Sanskar but she was feeling weak. "Bhabi... Bhabi please... take care of brother okay" she said and back walked from there. Before Ragini could realize what she spoke she saw Uttara jumping off the railing of the terrace.

"Uttara...." she screamed gathering all her strength but it was too late by the time she reached the railing. Sanskar stopped dead in his position hearing Ragini's scream. He turned with his dazed eyes to find his sister not there and Ragini near the railing bending down.

He rushed to her side and saw Uttara lying in the pool of blood. "No... no...." he panicked and held his head not able to react. Sujata who heard Ragini's scream looked up the stairs. So did all the family members. Sujata's heart started to race guessing that something has happened to her kid. She sat there numb not able to move while all others rushed to the terrace from where they heard the scream.

All of them stood near the railing where Ragini and Sanskar were standing without moving. They all were shocked to find Uttara in that state. While Sujata walked there slowly she first saw everyone's face then turned to look down. Her eyes started to drop tears though her throat made no sound due to shock.

"Why is my kid lying there?" she asked while nobody had any answer. "This girl na" she hit her forehead and walked down the stairs to reach the front door of the mansion. She looked at her right and moved to the place where Uttara was lying in a pool of blood.

"Uttara" she held her daughter's bleeding head and placed it in her lap. Annapurna who painfully watched this walked down. Laksh who just came out of his room saw his mother and followed her. He saw Sujata rocking Uttara who was lying on the ground.

He neared her and found Uttara bleeding heavily. "Uttu" he walked near her with his eyes wide open. "W...what happened to her?" he asked still shocked. His mother nodded her head without answering.

"Uttara..." he patted her cheek but there was no response. All the family members reached there except for Sanskar who was still standing at the terrace too shocked to move.

Ragini wanted to near him and console but she could not. The person who needed her the most now was her mother in law. She walked from there down to reach Sujata who was rocking Uttara in her embrace.

Laksh took his phone and called the ambulance. "Shhhh" Sujata signed him to be quite. "Can't you see my kid is sleeping" she pointed at Uttara. Ragini looked at her mother in law painfully. She sat beside her and dragged her head to rest over her shoulder and patted trying to comfort her. But she was not in her senses anymore as she kept rocking Uttara.

"No... no... Uttara... uttu..." Sanskar pulled his hair frustrated. He collapsed on the floor defeated. "My sister" he whispered and stared blankly.
