Sanskaar was talking to Rucha while Ragini came in dragging Laksh to uncover her next surprise.

"You got into our hospital as general consultant and didn't Inform me" Sanskar complained . " I would have recommended you" He took a sip of his juice

" Oh come on Sanky... I am good at my work and I don't want any recommendation... That's why I didn't inform you.... I know that you will appoint me without interview . But I feel that's not right. Rucha replied casually.

" Oh Ho....Honesty and all Haa" Sanskar teased Rucha. "So ... now we are colleagues now... Dr. Rucha.." Sanskar raised his hand for a Hi-Fi

" Yes Dr. Sanskaar '' Rucha clapped his palm.

"Ohh... New Colleagues" Laksh and Ragini came to Sanskaar and Rucha

"Cheers to That " Laksh tossed his empty glass.

Abeer came into the scene with Swara.Amrita too joined them.

" Aayush Bhaiyya this is Amrita and this is Rucha" " Laksh said pointing to Amrita and Rucha respectively.They are my dear Sisters. And Saalis... This is Abeer Bhaiyya, Swara's brother." Laksh introduced .

" Hi Amrita , Hi Rucha "Amrita and Rucha shook hands with Abeer.

Ragini was really happy that she was surrounded by the people who cherishes each other.She always wanted them to be happy. She slowly moved her hand on her belly and spoke to her baby.

"See... This is our family... Everyone is here Tuttu (Tuttu is Raglak's baby's fetal name)". Laksh who happened to hear her encircled her shoulder and pulled her close to him.

" Haa Tuttu... Ur Babepapa, Badi Maa, Dadi, Dadu , Massis, Abeer Mama....." Laksh began to take each and every name in a breath

" Bas Bas Laksh... Breathe now..." Ragini teased him. Laksh winked at her in response.

"Now tell me... What is your new surprise???" Laksh was curious

" hmmm... wait a minute" Ragini singalled Aayush.Aayush gave a thumps and moved to the middle of the hall

" Hello everyone......." Aayush called.. "So My dear brothers Laksh and Sanskar is celebrating their way to old age with us today... So we have prepared a small surprise for all of you guys.... So to be exact .. Its not a bit surprise for you Laksh..." Laksh made a sad pout....and complained " Not fair"... everyone laughed.

" so... As we all know.. The engagement of Swara and Sanskar dint go as happy as we thought....because of their stupidity..." Aayush looked at an embarrassed Swasan. "So this time we have decided to tie them up personally and quickly...So that they dont mess up any more...." Swasan and Laksh were confused.

"my dear Newly found Sis... Ragini has convinced us on the importance to getting Swara Sanskar married as early as possible" Ragini nodded agreeing to Ayush's words." So we have decided to get you guys married next week" Aayush's announcement was followed by a huge round of applause.

" Next week!!!" Swara and Sanskar exclaimed in unison. " Yaar next week is too near," Sanskaar let out a fake protest.

" Shut up Sanskar" Laksh interrupted him." I know you are jumping inside , So stop these fake denials..."

" And we are getting you guys engaged now" Ragini added. " I know that you guys are engaged, but that engagement was not a happy one. " SwaSan nodded. " So now we are having the real wala-Happy wala engagement.".

"But Raghu.. What about the rings??" Laksh asked

" Do you think that i will plan this without thinking about rings" Ragini raised her eyebrows.She pulled out two boxes and handed over one to Mishti Maa and another one to Sujatha Maa.

Both the mothers opened the boxes

" Beautiful Rings Raghoo" Sujatha said

" Ha Ragini Beta, Awesome piece of jewellery? Where did you get this from? Sharmishta inquired

Sujatha and Sharmistha showed the rings to everyone.Laksh saw the rings and looked at Ragini in shock

"These rings are..." Laksh trailed off

"These are the rings designed by our designer Laksh Maheshwari under my special supervision, without the knowledge of Daadi and Dadaji" .Ragini acted as if she was whispering.

" Actually Laksh had no idea of my plans... So ....He is surprised" Ragini said holding the hand of an emotional Laksh.

Laksh always wanted to design for the special functions of his loved ones but he was not sure of his Dadaji's reaction. Of late he designed some for Ragini, according to his taste. But this particular set was of her choices and stones. But little did he know that it was for His brother's happiness.He was grateful to Ragini for getting him this golden chance.

"Aayush Bhaiyya... who said that this is not a surprise for me??" Laksh wiped his tiny tears..."This surprise is mine too" Laksh beamed

"So Sanky.... This is your Birthday gift from me and Laksh" Ragini said to Sankaar who was looking at Ragini with awe. He went near her and caught her ear

"Aww" Ragini screamed

"Do you think you have outgrown me??" Sankaar asked and pulled her to a cute hug." I love you lady" Sanksaar said emotionally. "You are the sole reason for each and everyone's happiness here"

Ragini and Sanskar released each other from their sibling hug ." Chal Chal.. enough of your drama...." Ragini said hiding her emotions."Go and put the ring on Swara's finger ......She is waiting for you" Ragini brought Sanskar to Swara..

Swara and Sanskar exchanged rings with each other ,officially and emotionally claiming each other as theirs forever after long years of Silent Love.Laksh stood hugging the love of his life,with pride and satisfaction

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It got really late after the birthday celebrations came to an end. Laksh and Sanky bid adieu to their rider friends.Elders were brooding over how to bring out their children's grand wedding in a week's time and how to convince the Maheshwari household of this.

Almost after sketching a rough plan , the Maheshwaris decided to leave . Dadi and Dida , who were not fond of Ragini has changed their stand and are her fans now. They hugged and kissed her enough for her to get tired.

Swara said, holding Ragini's hand in front of both the families. " I am sorry Ragini that i hurt You...But you did everything in your strength to unite me and Sanskaar.... I don't have words to apologize and thank You.."

" Swara please...." Ragini interrupted her..." We are a family ..." She kept her hand on Swara's and said. "It is just very family thing when the members fight with each other and we , on becoming a family just had our first fight...." Ragin hugged Swara

Laksh, RP, Sujatha, AP, Rucha and Amrita hugged Swara and took farewell. Sanakaar and Swara shook their hands and said " Bye" to each other, with shyness in their eyes.

Sanskaar left first as he bought his car.

" So we will take your leave." Sujatha hugged Sharmishta "Maajis, I will finalise the functions and call you tomorrow itself". As there was only a week's time for the wedding, the elders were taking their responsibilities very seriously.

" Ha Sujatha...." Dida agreed. "Please don't leave out the Bengali functions"

as Swara's mother was a Bengali, They wanted to incorporate Their traditional functions too,to which Sujatha maa agreed happily. While talking about the functions Ragini noticed that Laksh was a bit sad. She decided to ask him later.Ap, Rucha and Amrita got on Rp's car and left. Ragini and Laksh took blessings and was about to leave

" Misthti Maa, Shekhar Uncle , Dida and Dadi... We need a favour" Ragini pleaded

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanskar reached Maheshwari mansion first. He walked into his room with a smile playing on his lips. He went to his room and took a shower. It was a quite eventful day. He came back from the camp, the drama of Swara's suicide, His confession, His engagement and time he spend with Swar before coming for the party. With flow of memories he touched his lower lip, as part of that physical memory. He was smiling like a moron.

His thoughts were interrupted by the knock on the secret kitchen door. He quickly opened the door and hugged Ragini and Laksh tightly.

" I love You both" Sanskaar said tightening his hug

" Sanskaar.... You are choking me" Ragini complained... He released them and held their hands.

" thank You guys... for understanding me more than myself... Thank you for Shona..."

Sanky..." Laksh looked at him with satisfaction. "You are the one who united us... You are the one that made us realise our love for each other.....So it is nothing big... We just did what must be done..."

"Yes Sanky...." Ragini supported Laksh's words." We are forever indebted to you for making us one and this is nothing... main thing is that you always loved her and She is yours and we are all happy"

" no Ragini, with what you did today, There is more for me to say. You also fulfilled Laksh's dream of making my engagement rings...This means a lot to him.." Sanskaar too

" It means a lot to me too Sanskar..." Rangini stressed...'' and please stop this thank you session... I have the right to celebrate your birthday and I celebrated it ... That's it... No more thank Yous.." Ragini warned..

Ragini opened her big bags and two identical boxes,," Gift time" She screamed

She handed over one box each to Sankaar and Laksh and asked them to open

Laksh and Sankar opened it and saw a Riders Leather jacket and gloves.A twin edition Custom made black with maroon lining for Laksh and navy lining for Sanskar.

" I have seen both of you happy while riding... I want you to be together and Happy For Life" Ragini said. SanLak was overwhelmed by her gifts and words. They pulled together for a group hug. Laksh slightly kissed ragini's head.

" Let me wear these now itself" Sanskaar was in a hurry to see him as Raghu's gift. Laksh too joined him.Laksh And Sanskar tried their jackets and gloves and clicked themselves....

" Now , another gift for you, Sanky" Rangini handed a box. Sanskar took it.

" Where is mine?" Laksh asked curiously

" No more gifts for you...." Ragini tased him.. Laksh made a sad pout..."

Sanskaar teased Laksh and opened the box.It was a Littman's electronic stethoscope .

" Wow" Sanskar exclaimes..." New model... I always wanted this... mannn" Sanskar passed a side hug to Ragini. He saw his name Dr. Sanskar Maheshwari engraved on it. Sanskar loved it.

" And You have another gift too" She winked at Sanskar

"What?? More gifts??" Sanskar was surprised....

" Gift... Please come in" Ragini called out

Swara came inside through Sanskaar's secret kitchen door.

" Swara.." Sanskar was shocked. " Wht??? Why are u here...?? I mean how did you get Here??" Sanskaer blabbered questions

" Maan, Sanskaar ... She came here to use your washroom" Laksh said " Swara please help yourself" Laksh teased... "Arre stupid... She came to spend time with you"

" But how?" Sanskar was still in disbelief..

" In my Car" Laksh said.." Simple as that.... You should thank Ragini....She even had to lie to Swara's Dida and Dadi that Swara will be sleeping in our room with her"

Swara''s and Sanskar's face turned red , But Raglak kept on teasing them

"What if we get caught .Who all know about this??." Sanskar asked with a tint of worry.

"Us, Maa,Paa, Badi Maa, Rucha and Amrita" Ragini cunted..." So relax... We will get her out before anyone notices..So enjoy the moment, Sanky"

"Ragoo... This is not fair..." Laksh said in complaining tone." You gave Sanskar many gifts ... Ring, Jacket, gloves, stethoscope and Swara... and only Jacket and gloves for me..." Laksh folded his hand to his chest and made a cute angry face

"Aww....You have me and Tuttu as Gifts kno???" Ragini kissed Laksh's cheeks and blinked her eyes dramatically...

" You are right.." Laksh pulled her to a side hug

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After leaving Swasan in Sanskar's room Raglak went to their room...Laksh hurriedly arranged the bed and called Ragini..." come here.... And sleep already... You dint take rest today... " He said sternly

.Raginiignored him and put a soft violin track, which was kinda sensual and took Laksh's hands and positioned him for a dance. He sighed and began to move his foot rhythmically. Ragini laid her head on his chest and felt his heart..it was quiet for a bit.It has been a while they were into themselves. Now that everything is almost settled, they wanted to feel each other.

" Ragooo..." Laksh whispered.." See i don't want to break this moment... but you need to sleep baby... "

" Don't you want to see your gifts??" Ragini ask enthusiastically

" Gifts??" Laksh raised his brow.

Ragini opened their cupboard and took out three boxes.

" happy birthday Laksh..." Ragini said romantically.

Laksh took the boxes and opened them with great excitement

The first box had a Louis Phillipe light pink shirt..

" Wow... My favorite brand and my favorite color..." Laksh loved it.."How did you know that i love this colour for a shirt... I never had a chance to get one for myself as Bua hated this colour" Laksh said.

" I dint know about it" Ragini said frankly while Laskh tried on the shirt. " I liked this colour so you brought it."

" Aww... Soul mate.. Laksh hugged Ragini." Open the next one.." Ragini demanded

Second box revealed and Black Rado Centrix Men watch with Gold plating.

" Wow... Man you are the master of Surprises..." Ragini rolled Laksh's sleeves and exposed his veins, who were screaming for oxygen.. She tied the new watch on his wrist

" Sexy," She said. Laksh rolled his eyes and took the other box.

It was a men's leather necklace with a small locket which was exactly of the same design of Ragini's Thali. It had an inscription "Ragini" at its back. Ragini tied the necklace around Laksh's neck and rested her head on his shoulder...

"So... now you're completely mine" Ragini whispered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ragini was adamant that she don't want to sleep, but to spend time with Laksh that night. After clicking pictures of Laksh in the shirt and watch Ragini gifted,They went down the garden seeking out of Maheshwari Mansion.They held hands and walked through the big garden.

" So Tell Me...How did you purchase all these gifts?? Who Helped you?" Laksh asked curiously.

" Maa and Papa took me shopping when you go for urgent meetings," Ragini answered.

" And money." Laksh asked

" I had a bit from my savings and loaned a little from Maa and Papa...." Ragini said." I will pay him back when i join for job after i have my TuTu."

" So .. You planning to get back to work? Laksh asked casually

"" Yes... Once our baby is comfortable without me.. I will get back" Ragini said

" Ok" Laksh agreed

" Why were you upset when Sujatha Maa was talking about Swara and Sanskaar's functions...?" Ragini asked

" Nothing.." Laksh smiled sadly and looked at Ragini's face.He understood that she was not going to leave the topic " Ok Baba.... It's just that I was reminded of our wedding.... Because of me, you had to miss all those functions right... It must have been fun..." Laksh sighed

" Oh come On Laksh... don't be silly... We were not in a mindset to do Functions.. And yeah Our relationship is different from theirs... They are in love before marriage and we found love after marriage... and I love Us" Ragini Concluded...Laksh smiled at her

" Come on Laksh....We are Happy... So don't bother about Functions and lets enjoy their functions wholeheartedly...By the Way Bride and Groom can't enjoy their marriage as their siblings do" Ragini winked at Laksh.Laksh smiled at Ragini and They decided call that off as it was morning.
