Laksh wakes up very late in the morning for Gautham's marriage. The events and revelations that took place last night have muddled his mind and body.He just over slept at Kunal's farmhouse with the boys. He got up to screams and shouts of Gautham

" Laksh Maheshwari!!!!!!!!" Gautham shouts, " I demand you to get your butt off that bed and get ready!!!!!! How dare you sleep more than me on my Shaadi....."

Laksh stretched his limbs and sat goofily on the bed.He smiled at Gautham, who was ready in his sherwani,and accessories. Sanskar and Kunal were all ready and were helping Gautham to get ready.

" Lucky stop smiling and get up....We are very late... The muharat is at 11 o'clock, it's already 10, we have to drive till the orphanage" Sanskaar screamed

" Laksh get up... Ragini will be here any moment from now to tie the pagdi" Kunal warned

Laksh's mind came into light after hearing Ragini's name. He shook his head and barged into the bathroom. Thanks to Sanksar who got his clothes ready. Laksh took a quick bath and got himself ready in a pink shirt and navy blue vest suit. Gautham's best men were all in formals. Laksh rolled up his sleeves looking into the mirror. He remembered Ragini's words when she said that she loved the way he rolled up his sleeves. He smiled at that memory (EP - 58, Incase you don't remember the scene :P).

" Today We will clear everything Raghoo, I will apologise to you for all my words..." Laksh said to himself, standing in front of the mirror. " I know my apology won't fill the wound I gave you with my words, But I will try my best to heal you... I will take any punishment unless and until you are with me...." Laksh sighed

"I will tell you all the truth....I know it will hurt , But let's prevent long term damage......We will go back to those days, when we were just us...When we were happy.. Only happiness.If you are with me ... Then I won't need this anymore" Laksh said , looking at the bottle of tablets in his hand.He kept it back in his pockets and smiled at the mirror brightly, even though his heart was battling on how to meet Ragini's eyes, after the drama he has pulled off.

" Gautham ... I am all set" Laksh called out and entered Gautham's room, adjusting his vest suit.

" Me Too ....All set" Gautham sounded happy.Laksh lifted his head to see Gautham in his Pagdi, beaming like an idiot. He was looking handsome, even though he was plastered and bandaged at places.

Ragini adjusted the brooch on his pagdi and whispered " Perfect".

Laksh didn't realise that Ragini came in when he was in the washroom. Ragini knew that Laksh just came into the room, but she ignored him.She rubbed kohl from her eyes with her small finger and touched it under Gautham's chin.

Laksh was mesmerised looking at his wife.She was adorned herself in an yellow and pink lehenga,loose hair and minimal accessories.

" I promised you Na... Gautham, that I will tie this Pagdi for you" Ragini kept her hand on his shoulder. " I never break my promises."

Laksh knew that those words were for him. He bent his head in guilt.

"So let's Go..." Ragini clapped her hands. " My sister is waiting for you"

"Ragini hung her hand through Gautham's hand and escorted him out.Laksh was really affected by her behaviour, but he very well knew that he deserved this treatment from her.Sanskar patted his shoulder and prompted him to walk. As they reached the door, Laksh saw Ragini searching for someone.

" Where did Bhaiyya and Bhabhi disappear??" Ragini asked, confused. " I came here with them and asked them to wait till I finish getting Gautham ready..."

" I drove them away...I can tolerate Goenkas." Kunal said shrugging his shoulder

" I am a Goenka too," Ragini said, Keeping her hands on her hip. " You are going to drive me Away??"

" No, You are not Goenka," Kunal snapped.. " You are an 'Arora'... or If I take it now , you are a 'Maheshwari'"

" Thank God , at least you think that way, otherwise i thought everyone assumed me to be a Goenka" Ragini said glaring at Laksh.

" Relax Raghu, They will meet you at the orphanage." Sanskar said. Ragini nodded " I told them to go as you will come with us to the mandap." Sanskar side hugged her.

" Ok " Ragini smiled at Sanskar.

Laksh was happy that at least she is not spoiling her mood because of him.He smiled looking at her . She passed a glance at him , but her expressions were stoic. Laksh understood that she will make him payback for his deeds with interest

Kunal came with his SUV and stopped it in front of Gautham. Gautham hoped in the passenger seat and Sanskar rushed to the back seat and closed the door. Ragini tried to open the door, but it was locked. Kunal lowered the windshield of the front door and said

" Sorry Raghu... I dont ride with Pregnant woman....I am a speed Man... You can come with Slow speed wala Laksh Maheshwari....Bye" Kunal accelerated hs vehicle, leaving back Ragini whose mouth hung open.

" Thank You Kunal... Love You Bhai..".Laksh murmured and went for his car. He stopped in front of Ragini.She had no choice , but to get in. She got into the front passenger seat and looked straight.Laksh leaned towards her face. Ragini backed a bit

" What the hell are you doing??" Ragini gritted through her teeth.

Laksh pulled the seatbelt and wrapped it around her

"Safety first" Laksh whispered without looking at her.Ragini turned her face to the wind shields.

Their journey was filled with silence. Ragini looked away from Laksh, while Laksh occasionally glanced at her.

The car in front of them applied a sudden brake, forcing Laksh to harden his leg on the brake. He kept his arm over Ragini, instinctively.

" Are you alright???" Laksh asked her in concern.Ragini was shocked a bit

" Raghu...Speak up Damn it" Laksh raised his voice

" Does it even matter to you??? "Ragini said calmly..." whether I am fine or Not?" Ragini looked into Laksh's eyes painfully.

" Ragini..." Laksh called her, but was interrupted

" Laksh, It is Amu and Gautham's marriage, I don't want to fight with you and spoil my mood.We can fight over our problems after sending them.''Ragini said calmly yet was stern.

Laksh was lost for words.He couldn't say anything. Her words echoed the measure of wounds she has suffered and he was guilty for it. The only thing he could do was just drive to the destination.

The marriage took place with all the rituals and prayers of the elders, i.e Badi Ma, Suji Ma,Ram Papa and other seniors of the orphanage. Sanskar and Swara did the Kanyadaan of Amrita as Sanskar was considered as Amu's eldest brother who was married. As soon as their simple and humble function was done, Amu and Gautham had a photo session with their siblings.Ragini and Laksh stood as a normal couple in those photos, not to spoil the memories of Amu and Gautham.

After changing into casuals, Amrita and Gautham had their food, took blessings from elders and left for the airport. They were going to Paris for their immediate honeymoon and then back to the US.The whole scenario was planned by Gautham and he wanted to follow it despite being injured.

After Amu and Gautham's departure, Suji Maa and Ram Papa left for home. Before leaving , she was questioning Ragini,on why she left Maheshwari house , without informing her, the day before yesterday. Ragini apologized and made up some story. Ragini glared at Laksh as she had to lie to Suji Maa. She left with a huff and sat at a corner of the garden. Laksh was about to go near her, But he saw Sanslkar approaching her with two bowls of ice cream. Laksh halted his steps and looked at them from far.He smiled at them. He adored their bond. Ragini always felt that Sanskar was her greatest strength. Laksh felt the same for himself.Laksh clearly knew why Sanskar was eager to talk to her. Sanskar deliberately kept himself away from Ragini in these three weeks as he felt guilty of hiding a prime information from here. He pretended to be busy with the hospital and avoided her. But now he was fine as he knew that she won't be in dark anymore.And Sanskar talking to Ragini before Laksh can decrease the intensity of her anger on Laksh as Sanskar always played cupid for them.

Laksh felt a tap on his shoulder.He turned to see his partner in crime holding an ice cream bowl brimming with different flavours. Swara smiled at him ear to ear.

"Where is mine?? Laksh asked

" You go get" Swara was endorsed in her ice cream.Laksh put his hand around her neck and pulled her ,He snatched her spoon and dug huge scoops from her bowl.

" Ice cream Chor....." Swara screamed and jumped at Laksh to retrieve her spoon. After having their sort of push and pull, Swara and Laksh settled with another bowl filled with ice cream.. They sat down on a bench and licked their spoons.

" Yaad hai tumko, how we used to eat ice creams at school" Swara asked

" " Ha... dus rupay wala butterscotch cup." Laksh said,revving those memories. "How we used to hide it from Uttara and Swarna during recess." laksh chuckled

Swara nodded. " Can't believe that they won't come to snatch this bowl anymore." Swara sighed

"Hmmmm"

" Pata hai Laksh, Me and Bhaiyya took a long time to adjust with the fact that our Swarna is no more..." Swara said.

" Same here"

" But nowadays, it is under control, because of Ragini" Swara sighed sharply. " The pain of losing Swarna is still there , But somehow we are able to fulfill our wishes concerning Swarna, through Ragini.

Laksh holds Swara's hands and presses it in assurance.

" Sanskar als does the same.." Laksh said, "Seeing Ragini as Uttara...But I can't do that." Laksh and Swara laughed at the last comment

" Lucky, I know that there are some friction between you and Ragini.". Swara looked into Laksh's eyes. "It is evident from both of your behaviour. I know that you didn't want to send her to Goenakas.If that is the reason for your clash, please remember that , she loves you more than anything in this world. I have seen it Lucky, and you love her the same way. End your fight for that love...Please... I can't see you both like this.Her parents will go in a week or two, But after that it's just you both".

" I know Shona.." Laksh nodded.." I messed up a bit... She has all rights to be angry at me....But don't worry.... I will solve it today itself.." Laksh smiled at Swara reassuringly.

"Bhabhi- Devar gupshup??" Karthik came to them.

"HA Bhaiyya" Swara said smiling at him. Laksh looked away from Karthik.

"Swara, can I talk to my Jeej for a bit??"

" Ya Sure." Swara scooped out from there before Laksh could word his protest.

Karthik sat near Laksh and looked at him. Laksh turned his face to the opposite side.

" Thank you Laksh" Karthik siad, looking away

Laksh turned to face Karthik, making it evident that he was confused or more to say, shocked.

Karthik unwillingly meets Laksh's eyes.

"We lost her when she was just 20 days. I just had a memory of a baby girl,in my mom's arms, after that, she became a memory that mom and Dad secretly weeps about. " Karthik sighed." I bleakly remember the chaos erupted after we lost her. I was just 10, then. Everyone at home adjusted themselves with the fact that she is no more with us, in time. But I always saw Mom and Dad secretly weeping around her photo and her fabrics."

Laksh looked at Karthik , with his features softening.

" I already forgot her and was contented with my life. I was in Delhi when I was informed that We found her. I don't know, But I was not excited or attached to her at that point of time. Moreover when we came here, all I saw was Mom in tears and her health deteriorating because of this.I was angry with her and you" Karthik said honestly. "I was really surprised when I heard that you are allowing us to take her home. I doubted your intention, then... actually both of yours.."

Laksh left out a chuckle. " I wouldn't have sent her , if it was not for her health. And I truly regret sending her with you people... Trust me on that."

"I know... Thats why I am grateful to you... '' Karthik said , confusing Laksh even more. " Thank you for giving us this one month with her. I know that it's just mere days I have seen her or behaved like a brother to her, but still I can really see that my sister is a ' Happy Woman'. And all that happened to her after you came to her life"

Laksh looked at Karthik, unable to believe that He was actually praising him.

" From the day Ragini came into our lives, she had a big mouth to talk about you people. Like how Badi maa raised her, How Rucha and Amrita stood by her through thick and thin, how Sanskar became her best friend,How Gautham and Kunal secured her, How your parents pampered her , How Swara understood her and and mostly,how you became her life.

Although Laksh was well aware of how Ragini thought of him, Hearing it from someone else, especially Karthik, who never liked him, was overwhelming.

" I ,for a moment thought ,whether she will talk about us like this to you guys, I know it's just a month of us staying together,still, Will she talk about us. But to my disappointment, she never does that.When she met your mother or when she talks on phone to you guys, she would rather rewind your memories rather than talking about us" Karthik said with a smile. " What I meant to say is that Even though we are her blood relatives, We are replaceable in her life. Even if we don't come for her, She will live happily,....... Yeah , Maybe she might miss us at points, but she won't long for us. Maa Papa can be replaced by your Badi Maa, Your parents. Me and Naira can easily replaced by Sanskar and Swara,.. Kunal , Gautham ad Rucha......" Kathik sighed.

Laksh looked at Karthik, with his features fully turning soft. Laksh was feeling bad for Karthik. This man is honest and caring. He doesn't know the crimes committed by his elders. He believes in the fake tears shed by his mother and father, blindly. Laksh pitied him.

" I can't do anything without her," Laksh said , sighing sharply. " I don't know how within a span of a year , my rusted idea of marriage and love changed. How my life became better or to say the best and hopeful. I am very possessive about her." Laksh smiled sheepishly.

" I know .." Karthik chuckled and got up. " Laksh ,I know what you must have felt that day that you ended up hurting her, But Please remember that, she always trusts you more than her life and please take good care of her, I know that you will do it, still... And Ho sake tho, Let's meet as JiJu and Saala in future too."

"Thank You Karthik" Laksh got up and forwarded his hand " For Everything... I know that we have many varying ideas on what must have happened in the past, But thank you for taking initiative for knocking sense into my head yesterday and taking effort to ease up things.... And being there for her, when I failed"

"After all, I am her brother Na..." Karthik took Laksh's hand and shook. "Ab Jao , Manao meri Behen Ko" Karthik chuckled " From what I see you will have to work a lot on it."

Laksh smiled sheepishly at Karthik

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

Unlike how they are, Ragini and Sanskar was having Ice- cream, quietly. Both of them were struggling to take up words to talk. It was more than a miracle that Ragini and Sanskar doesn't have subjects to talk upon.Ragini remembers that the last time she talked to Sanskar properly was before his reception. After that her life to just took a sharp turn.

"Raghoo Rani.." Sanskar called softly

"Hmmmmmm"

" What plans?? When are you coming home???"Sanskar asked .

" a week more.." Ragini said ,

" Bas, Ab Aa Jao Na" Sanskar sighed. " It's not working without you....We are a mess... He is a bigger mess"

Ragini looked at him with a small smile.Sanskar kept his hand on Ragini's.

"Sanskar ,Where did I fail in being his wife??" Ragini asked

"What do you mean by 'fail' ". Anger was bubbling on Sanskaar's face, on earring her question. " Raghu, you are the best thing that happened to him. If it was not for you , He would have been just breathing, but after you came to his life, He is living."

"" Then, why is he so not trusting me, Sanskar.???" Ragini asked with a sigh

"Raghu, It is not that he is not trusting you, It's just that he is confused and , the main thing is that He didn't want you to go with them. Even I didn't want you to go with them."

Ragini nodded.Things are getting murkier for Ragini, With days passing down , she is feeling that Laksh is hiding something from her and Sanskaar's words just cemented that belief. Laksh and Sanskar would never want her to miss out moments with her parents until and unless something big is to be hidden.A tear dropped Ragini's eyes, fearing the unknown.

Sanskar saw Ragini in tears and gave her a side hug

"Hey Ragho.... Calm Dear...Sh Sh..." Sanskar tried to consoled her. Ragini Let off her guard and cried her heart out.He tried to calm her

After a while Ragini composed herself . Sanskar hugged her assuringly. " Look Raghoo, I know that you are feeling insecure of his behavior.But trust me on this, He is also not ok. Talk to him now and solve this. You both have seen worse situations than this, together and you both survived it together. So just calm and finish this off."

Ragini nodded at Sanskar " Thank you Sanky" Ragini said wiping off her tears

" Seriously Raghoo... " Sanskar shook his head in disbelief . He drew his hand from her shoulder . " Thank you??? That tooo, between you and Me??....... You are Bad Ragini"

" Achaa Baba ... Sorry" .Ragini held her ears..

" Yeh Lo... Sorry Bhi. He shook his head...and looked away..

" Arrey Yaar...Sanky....." Ragini tapped his shoulder...he removed her hand and sat there. Ragini suddenly started tickling Sanskar... Sanskar started laughing and panting for breath. He begged her to stop. Ragini stopped and had a hearty laugh with him.

" . Nautanki!! " Sanskar caught Ragini's ear.

" Raghu.." Rucha called from a distance. Ragini took leave from Sanskar and walked to Rucha. Rucha pulled Ragini to an isolated part of the orphanage.

" What is this Ragini '' Rucha showed her the image of the tablet bottle that she had sent the previous day. "From where did you get this tab.??" .Rucha was stern.Ragini became tensed with her question. Somewhere she felt a need to conceal Laksh's name.

"I saw this with Karthik," Ragini said bluntly. " I happened to see him having them.I was worried as he was hiding it from us." Rucha would never barge and question Karthik like she would do for Laksh

" Naira knows about this, right?? Rucha had a strange strictness in her voice . "She must know about it."

"No" Ragini whispered, keeping herself in Naira's place

"What??? I mean seriously..!!!" Rucha kept her hand on her head. " Your brother is suffering Ragini and Naira is unaware of it??"

Ragini's breath stopped in her throat. She was numb

" Ragini.. Listen to me carefully. This medicine is given to a patient with a long history of Anxiety disorder, when the disorder relapses , in a very bad way. During this relapse, He will be very unstable and emotionally insecure... Naira should know about this. She should be with him Right now. He is in a very bad situation. I wonder why he is hiding this from Her. He needs her. " Rucha sigh. "He is not being fair to her by hiding this."

" Rucha Di... Come here Na..." Aarti called Rucha.

" I will talk to him, Rucha," Ragini said, trying to get a grip over herself. " Tum Jao.."

" Pakka??"

" Ha Baba..." Ragini replied

"Call me if you need any help". Rucha went to attend Aarti'.

Ragini felt that her feet were losing ground. Rucha's words were ringing inside her head.Ragini walked aimlessly. In her absent minded stroll , Ragini's head hit a corner of a pillar.

" Aah!!" Ragini winced in pain .Ragini felt a hand holding her arm

" Ragini!!!!" Laksh turned Ragini to face him. " Oh My God..Your forehead is bleeding, Bacha.. Is it painful??? Ragini??? Are you alright??"

"Why are you concerned about me??" Ragini asked coldly, freeing her hand from his grip. " Why does it matter to you even if I am not well??" She started to walk leaving Laksh behind.

Laksh held Ragini from behind and turned her to face him. He locked her in his grip, holding her shoulder "What do you mean by that.. Huh...??? You are my wife damn It" Laksh screamed.

Laksh immediately composed himself. " Ragini.. Bachha... I know you are angry with me.. But right now you are hurt and I am worried about you ." Laksh said cupping her face. Ragini looked at him with a painful glance. " Bacha.. Look .. It is my right to know about your well being, Don't take that from me.. Please...."

Ragini immediately jerked off his hand from her face and slapped him. Laksh clutched his face and looked at her in disbelief.

"Ragini...." Laksh whispered

"Your Right??? Huh?? You are talking about your rights??." Ragini pulled out the tablet bottle from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"What about my Rights Laksh" Ragini screamed with all her might. Realisation dawned on Laksh's face.

"How could you do this to me Laksh..?? How could you hide it from me that you were not well??" Ragini cried her out.

Laksh was stumbling for words.

"Laksh, isn't it my right to be concerned about you??? Isn't it my right to know about your health.You were not well all this while...and you chose not to tell me??? "

" I never hid my weakness or for that matter anything from you...Even be it my past, I was adamant that you are aware of it. The only thing I hid from you, for a brief period, was Sanskar's love for Swara, that too only because Sanskar requested... " Ragini was crying constantly.

""How could you hide this from me Laksh?? ". Ragini held Laksh's collar as she gained composure. "What all have you been hiding from me??.. You were saying that I don't trust you right??? What about you??? Do you trust me??? " Ragini screamed. Laksh's eyes welled up in guilt.

"It is not me who doesn't trust you....I always trusted you blindly ". Ragini tightened her grip over his collar. " It was YOU, who never trusted me..." Ragini accused Laksh

"You never trusted me enough to share your sorrows... You never trusted me with your well being...You never trusted me"

Ragini left Laksh's collar in defeat.She was devastated. She walked away from Laksh.

"Ragini....please listen to me" Laskh tried to stop her.

"I was wrong Ragini...I shouldn't have hidden this from you... but the situation was bad and you were at your parents' house..."

Ragini snickered.. "Again....you are lying......This medicine is given to people with a long history of anxiety disorder right?? "

Laksh stood tense.

"Did you tell Sanskar about it?? " Laksh asked, panicked

"No..."

Laksh breathed a sigh of relief

"You hid from Sanskar too Laksh....." Ragini accused."He will be shattered, if he comes to know that you have been hiding your pain from him..." Ragini wiped her tears...

"Leave it Laksh....You won't understand my feelings.. Nor Sanskaar's. I thought that today I would talk to you and clear all differences.... I wanted to earn back your trust.....But today you just proved to me that I am not Trustworthy "

"No Ragini.... Please... give me one chance.....".Laksh held her hand and begged..

"You never gave me one, to be with you Laksh....Had I known that you are suffering, I would never have gone with Maa and Papa.....I would have stood back with you...Because you were my only choice.I didn't meet them initially, even when I wanted to meet them, because I felt that you don't want me to meet them.it was when you said me to go, I went..."Ragini felt miserable....

Laksh tightened his grip on Ragini's hand.

"Raghoo..Please don't go... I need You"

"No Laksh...''. Ragin said, turning away from him. "You don't need me....If you really valued my presence near you, You should have called me back when you were not well." Ragini said shutting her eyes in pain

"Now please leave me...let me Go" Ragin released her hand with force and left.

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

DD Goenka and Janaki Goenka ran to Ashok Goenka's Study. Ashok Goenka was going through official files behind his large mahogany table.

"Bauji.." DD called

Ashok Goenka looked up at his Son and Daughter in law

"Hmmmm"

"Sudharshan is paralysed," DD said.

"What??? Ashok Goenka got the shock of his life. His right hand, the partner in all his crime, his confidence...Sudarshan...He was just not a heckman...But Ashok Goenka's extended arm

"How?? "Ashok Goenka asked

"Don't know Bauji... He went missing day before yesterday and we thought he was on your errand, Today morning, his boys got a call from the hospital that he was admitted . When we went there, the doctor told us that Sudarshan had been severely injured by someone. Paralysed for life beneath his hips." DD explained

Ashok Goenka felt that his limbs were punctured. He felt powerless. Sudarshan who would have understood his finger movements, won't be able to help him anymore

"Who did this??? " Ashok Goenka asked defeated

"No idea Bauji.... Even Sudharshan had no idea... he was blindfolded and attacked..." DD Goenka said.

"Bauji...we need to act fast" Janki spoke.." Ho Na Ho I feel that Kunal Arora is behind this.."

"I too feel the same... " DD said, supporting Janaki.

"I think, we should just finish off Laksh soon....to be clear, I say today itself "Janaki suggests

"Yes Bauji...I have arranged everything... I have put a GPS tracker on Laksh's car. We will hunt him down as soon as he gets out of his house"

"What if Ragini goes back to Maheshwari's after Laksh's death".Ashok Goenka asked

"No Bauji..... She will never go...." Janaki said in confidence." I feed into her brain that Laksh died because of her and she doesn't have any right to face his parents and family.She will feel guilty and will never return to his parents.She will always be here for Karthik like how Mauli was here for DD. "

"Ok Bahu....Do all arrangements...... We should go back to Delhi after Damadji's Shok Sabha"

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

Laksh was feeling miserable. He was walking along the lengths and breadths of his room.He can't forget Ragini's hurt face.He knows that he has done a huge mistake by hiding his health conditions to his family, especially Ragini and Sanskar.He just wanted them to be happy He didn't want them to suffer because of him. It's been years that he was diagnosed with Anxiety disorders. He was successful in keeping it under wraps all these while .But he failed now and the consequences are very hard.Laksh tried to contact Ragini, but she was not attending his calls.

What if Ragini comes to know that he had been hiding much more truth from her. She will hate him. He is not able to come in trance with her anger on him for hiding his health issues. And if she comes to know about her birth truth... If she comes to know that he hid it...She will be hurt.Sanskar and Badi Maa was right, he should've told her and prevented her from going to Goenkas.

Laksh's phone rang. It flashed 'Mauli Bua'.Laksh attended the call, within a second, hoping to know about Ragini.

"Bua??? "

"Laksh beta" Mauli Bua sounded tense.

" Ha.. Bua.. boliye" Laksh prompted

"Laksh....tum please Ragini ko yahan se le Jao..." Mauli Bua was crying

"Kya hua Bua?? " Laksh was tensed

"Beta.... They are going separate you both....Like they did to me and my Ishaan". Mauli Bua said to Laksh."I thought that Bhaiyya and Bhabhi brought back Ragini out of love...but I was wrong....they just brought her for Karthik"

"I know Bua.... I know everything.. "Laksh said miserably

"Laksh Beta...i heard them talking today...they are going to kill you and will blame Ragini for your death.Just like they did to me, they will put her under guilt of your death and she will never be happy and will never go back to your parents."

Mauli Bua narrated the conversation between Ashok Goenka Dd and Janaki...

"Laksh... Please take her from here...please.... if I could inform Karthik, I would have done much before....But i can't tell him about this.... he will break...please Beta.... And I cant see my Ragini like this... She has suffered a lot in life, And now they are trying to take away her happiness.."

"Now i understand... That day when you came in, accusing my Bhaiyya... Be it or not... My brother was involved in that accident... They are trying to create misunderstandings between you and Ragini... Please Beta., before things get worse....Take her away... i don't want her to suffer more..I don't want her to live like me."

"Bua.... calm down...Bua... I will come there and bring her back today itself..." Laksh disconnected the call after pacifying Mauli Bua.

Laksh was feeling really helpless. He sat on his bed holding his head.

"Laksh....." Laksh heard Swara calling out his name and coming to his room.p

"Laksh....Lucky....What happened to Ragini...why did she leave the place without even saying a goodbye? " Swara was followed by Sanskar into the room...

"Shona..... I messed up everything" Laksh hugged Swara and cried.

"Kya Hua Laksh?? ".Swara asked.. "Is Ragini alright?? Tell me Damn It.."

Laksh narrated every single truth to Swara from meeting Sudarshan at Orphanage to Mauli Bua's call. Laksh excluded his confrontation with Ragini about the anxiety disorder as he couldn't afford to hurt Sanskar at the moment. Swara was in a state of utter shock.

"What?? " Sanskar almost shouted " They are planning to harm you too??

" Laksh....." Swara, still in shock . " ARE YOU MAD?????" Swara screamed at Laksh , She came to Laksh, held him by his arms and shouted. " What were you thinking while sending her with Goenkas..??"

" After knowing all the truth , You sent her with them???? You didn't feel like telling her the truth... OH My GOD Laksh... Are you a fool.??" Swara was screaming at Laksh.

" And You Sanskar, You Too... Rather than stopping him You too allowed him to send Her... ?? What were you guys thinking??????

" Shona, I didn't want her to be hurt after knowing the truth.... I couldn't imagine the pain she would go through if she would come to know about her parents betrayal"

" Seriously Laksh... You are giving me this lame excuse... That she would be hurt...." Swara mocked Laksh..." Look at the mess you have put her in now....Look at the pain you are giving her now...... " Swara spoke to him in disgust.

" If you had told her the truth, She would have been hurt, But ... we would have been there for her....But Now.... You have put her through bigger pain.. She is attached to them, She made memories with them...and with those memories, she is going to suffer more...and that too without any fault of hers."

" Shona... I just thought that let her spend a month with them, then they would go back to Delhi." Laksh said in tears.

" Are you a bird brain??? " Swara tapped his head in anger. "You simply believed that they would go back after a month without making any problems...and yeah for her safety, you threatened them with Karthik... Brilliant..." Swara gave slow claps..

"They are dangerous people who killed your Mausaji, just because he was trying to save a baby.... They were trying to kill Badi ma... and still you believe they came for her love... Had I known all these, me , Maa and Papa wouldn't have allowed you to send her...."

" Oh God ... What have we done???". Swara was in a very bad state. She knelt down in tears. Sanskar tried to lift her up.

" Sanskar.... At Least you and Badi Maa should have been careful.." Swara said.

" He and Badi Maa asked me to tell the truth, But I didnt allow them.... I asked them to swear." Laksh took the blame on himself.

"Wow... Your stupid Swear was bigger for him than her safety " Swara mocked both Sanskar and Laksh ."He should have told us. Maa would've never sent her there..... And I won't hide this from Maa and Papa."

Swara started to march out of Laksh's room. Laksh and Sanskar were emotionally drained in guilt, that they couldn't even stop her. As they looked at Swara walking out , they saw Suji maa and Ram Papa at the door. Sujatha and Ram's face were red in anger

" Maa..." Swara ran and hugged Sujatha,,," You heard all this... Look at the mess they have created..... Look at what they have put her in..." Sujatha patted on Swar's back and unhugged her.

Sujatha walked to Laksh and Sanskar. She placed a slap on Laksh's face, then on Sanskar's.

" You both failed Her!!!" Sujatha said." Being her love and best friend you both were supposed to protect her from all the evil...But you sent her into danger"

"Laksh.... Sanskar.... Compromising her safety for her minute happiness was just foolishness.." Ram Papa said

Laksh looked at Sujatha in tears, while Sanskar bent his head down.

" Maa...." Laksh called..Sujatha showed her palm.

" I WANT MY DAUGHTER IN MY HOUSE..." Sujatha stressed each word.

" I don't know what you do, Laksh...Bring her back " Ram said.

Laksh wiped his tears.

" I have made a great mistake Maaa, Papa" Laksh went near Sujatha and Ram and took their hands." And I will correct it." Laksh said, determined. " I will bring back my Ragini and tell her all the truth."

Laksh bent to take his parents blessings and left in a swift.

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

As soon as Laksh left, Sujatha sat on the sofa and broke down. Ram and Swara came near her, with tears, and tried to console her.

" Sanskaar..." Sujatha called worried...Sanskar rushed to her and knelt in front of her with misty eyes.

" They are Bad people... They are the ones who don't even care for their own daughter,... they will hurt my Laksh..Please go behind him.... Swara you too Go... " Sujatha requested.

"Ragini and Laksh have fought with each other... She might listen to you two...Bring them back to me.." Sujatha begged..

" Ha Maa... You don't worry... We will Go" Swara assured Sujatha. Sanskar nodded and got up with Swara. He held Swara's hand and looked into her eyes. She nodded and blinked , reminding him that she is with him. They started to move out.

" Sanskar..." Ram called.." inform Kunal too.."

" haa Papa.."Sanskar agreed. " You both take care of each other and pray for us.. That we will bring Ragu back home. safely/"

Sanskar and Swara rushed to their car.

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

" I am sorry Ragini..." Laksh said as he was speeding his Car....I played with your feelings and trust by hiding truth from you....I shouldn't have done that.... I should've been truthful to you...It must have been hurting but still we would've been together....and we would've come past it together.... I am sorry Jaan... I just put you in danger...." Laksh wiped his tears with his cuff.

" I should've told you about my anxiety disorders... You would have helped me out of it Ragoo...I deprived you of knowing all the truth about you and Me...." Laksh was crying through his words

" No Laksh... Better late than never... I will tell you all the truth.. About you ... about Me... we will start all over again with our Baby..." Laksh said determined" You can punish me for all my mistakes.... But I can't lose you to anyone... YOU ARE MINE!!!!"

Laksh accelerated his car. As he drove on, the light of a vehicle coming from the opposite side blinded him and the car dashed with his Car........
