*******************

Few days later,
Ragini & Laksh are in the market for shopping. There is long line of shops.

Laksh: "Ragini, you go this side and I will go to the other side. You can shop whatever you want. Let's meet after one hour in this same spot".

Ragini nods and leaves. Sanskar who was hiding till now joins her, both does shopping together. Sanskar's eyes are on Laksh, he is watching him every now and then. That's when he notices a girl, both are holding their hands and are shopping. Sanskar identifies the girl, 'I think I know what to do now', thinks in his mind with smirk on his face. Helps Ragini in shopping. Then everyone leaves.
*******************

Mehandi,
Ragini is sitting in the hall in her mehandi outfit waiting for her mehandi to dry. The designer is drawing mehandi to others. As soon as it dries, she runs into her room to wash it off, slowly slips into Sanskar's room without anyone's notice. Sanskar who's comes out of the washroom notices her,

Sanskar: "Ragini, isn't it too early for you to be here? Everyone is still in the hall", asks in worried tone.

Ragini: "but I wanted to show this first, only to you", says while showing her hands with a huge smile. Mehandi has turned deep red, letters R & S are engraved on her hands. He holds her both hands and kisses them, looks at her, she is still in her mehandi outfit looking beautiful, pulls her a little and kisses her forehead, looks into her eyes, kisses her lips, they break the kiss and join their foreheads together, he cups her face and caresses her cheek still looking into her eyes, she looks at him smiling,

Ragini: "Sanskar, I think I should leave now. My dad might be searching for me".

Sanskar: "Already? Can't you stay for a little while?", asks her with cute pout.

Ragini presses his cheeks with her both hands while shaking his head side ways, "Awww, my cutie pie boyfriend, If you want, then I will stay", she kisses his lips tightly and hugs him.

A knock on the door and Shekhar's voice, breaks them apart. He makes Ragini hide in the balcony. After making sure that she hid well, he then leaves to open the door,

Sanskar: "yes uncle?", says in his casual tone.

Shekhar: "I think I just heard woman's voice from your room", says while entering the room and examining around.

Sanskar: "uncle, I was actually speaking with my mother", says while pointing towards the phone in his hands.

Shekhar: "I doubt it?", says still looking around.

Sanskar: "uncle!", almost shouts to gain Shekhar's attention to distract him from stepping into the balcony. He continues, "Any problem?". Shekhar nods No and leaves his room still looking at the balcony suspiciously.

After making sure that her dad left, Ragini peeks out off the balcony slowly and cutely with small steps comes inside. Sanskar kisses her cuteness and helps her in getting out off the room carefully.
********************

Haldi,
Ragini got ready beautifully in yellow saree and flower jewelry, is sitting in the hall. Dadi, dadaji, Shekhar apply haldi to her first and blesses her, she gets emotional, dadi and her dad comfort her. Later everyone applies haldi to her. Sanskar is watching everything from a distance, her happiness and the haldi glow on her face.

As soon as she enters her room, Sanskar pulls her in for a hug. She is surprised to see him in her room and hugs him back.

Sanskar: "are you happy?", asks cupping her face.

Ragini: "I am really very happy Sanskar", says with smile on her face, continues "Sanskar, what about your haldi?".

Sanskar: "wait, then let me get some haldi from kitchen", says and was about to move, but she stops him.

Ragini: "I think I have some already".

Sanskar: "where?", asks looking at her empty hands.

Ragini: "here", says and rubs her cheeks with his, her cheeks flush pink feeling his heat on her cheeks. Now haldi is applied on his both cheeks.

Sanskar: "I never expected for you to be this romantic. Weren't you a traditional girl?", asks while raising his eyebrows and mischievous smile.

Ragini: "I was, before. Those 2 years in Mumbai, being with you, your love for me changed everything", says blushing while hiding herself in his embrace.

"I love you", he whispers. "I love you too" she replies back, they lean in for a kiss. A knock on the door brings them back, she immediately pushes him inside the washroom and walks to open her room door only to find her dadi,

Dadi: "you didn't wash up till now?", questions while entering her room.

Ragini: "I was about to go dadi", and stops her dadi from opening the bathroom door.

Dadi: "here, apply it to your whole body while bathing", says while keeping the remaining bowl of haldi on the table near washroom. "Or do you want me to apply and help you in bath".

Ragini: "No, dadi, no, I can do it", utters and nods in No at her dadi immediately. Dadi leaves from there.

Ragini sighs in relief after locking the door and opens the washroom door to bring him out instead Sanskar pulls her in, takes the haldi bowl from the table along with him. RagSan are standing in front of the mirror in the washroom, Ragini in the front and Sanskar hugging her from the back.

Ragini: "Sanskar, what are you doing?"

Sanskar: "Did you say NO to dadi because of me?", whispers in her ears in husky voice.

Ragini: "hmm, I did. So?", asks looking at him through the mirror.

Sanskar: "so, let me help you instead of your dadi", says while taking some haldi in his hands, before she could respond he applies it on her waist sensually while splaying his hands on her stomach, she gets lost in his touch and closes her eyes. He kisses her nape while putting her hair to a side and applies some haldi on her back. Then he applies it on her chest, she heaves at his every touch. Then he takes haldi in his both hands, his hands travel from her shoulders to her hands while applying haldi, intervenes his hands with her's, hugs her through her arms.

"Open your eyes", he whispers in her ears. She opens her eyes and looks at him through the mirror, then at herself, haldi on her body, his touch and the feel. He lets his hands loose, she turns to look at him directly in his eyes, mean while his hands travel from her stomach to the small of her back. She looks at his eyes, leans forward and kisses his lips, her left hand placed on his chest clutching his shirt, her other hand around his nape, he tightens his grip on her around her waist, both kiss while their tongues fight against each other.

He holds her shoulders to guide her the path, turns around not breaking the smooch, he walks forward mean while she moves backwards. Makes her stand right below the shower, breaks the kiss, moves away still holding her hand, turns on the shower. He looks at her, She stands still looking at him, water touching her body, washing away haldi from her skin, her wet clothes hugging her body, showing her perfectly carved curves. His heart skips a beat at the sight of her standing under the running shower, he goes out before his thoughts could run wild.

Ragini comes out after her shower in her bathrobe, Sanskar pulls her immediately, Ragini looks at him and gasps by his sudden move,

Ragini: "I thought you left already", says in low voice while her breath is uneven by the sudden closeness.

Sanskar kisses her cheek, bites it which makes her hiss a little and licks the same place to soothen the pain and the mark.

Sanskar: "It's better I leave before I loose my whole control", says while looking at her intensely, her cheeks flush pink. "Good night" he whispers, kisses her forehead before leaving. She changes into her pyjamas and leaves to sleep with smile while blushing.
***********************

Sangeet,
After sangeet is over Ragini comes back to her room, notices Sanskar in the balcony, waiting for her in the moonlight. Before she could say anything, he gets on his knee,

Sanskar: "Ragini, I started loving you the moment I first saw you. I never thought I will like any girl but you stole my heart. The more the time I spend with the more I fell in love with you. I always want to be there for you, to be with you, protect you and care for you. I love you Ragini. Will you marry me?", asks while taking out the ring from his pocket.

Ragini: "ofcourse, I will", says with happy tears in her eyes. Sanskar makes her wear the ring, kisses her hand, he gets back on his feet, both hug each other happily. She breaks the hug.

Ragini: "Sanskar, I never thought I would look at any guy, but you made me fall for you. I thought, the 2 years I spent, being with you by my side was enough for me to live the rest of my life. But now, I just don't want anything else, living with you is enough for me. I love you too, Sanskar", says while looking into his eyes. Both kiss each other passionately. They break the kiss feeling out of breath and join their foreheads still looking into their eyes.

Ragini: "but Sanskar, why with the sudden proposal?"

Sanskar: "We will be getting married tomorrow. What if you, in the future fought over for not proposing you. (Ignores her glares) I also wanted to hear the answer from you directly, which I couldn't get to hear that day. Since I heard now, let us move to the next stage", says and picks her up in his arms moves towards the bed.

Ragini: "Sanskar, we are not married yet!", asks being tensed sensing his move towards the bed.

Sanskar: "I know. That's why", he lays her on the bed. He sleeps beside her hugging her close, his head on her chest, his hands on her stomach, her hands around him. She controls her racing heart, while regretting her wild running thoughts. "And what's running in your mind?", she looks at him laughing sheepishly, he nods his head in disbelief.

It been a hour, Ragini looks at him, he haven't spoken a word nor he is feeling sleepy, he is lost in his thoughts, looking somewhere else while caressing her waist. Ragini finally thinks to break the silence.

Ragini: "Sanskar, are you worried?"

Sanskar: "hmm I...", feeling hesitant to share, sleeps on his back, gaining courage, "yes, I am", says while looking at the ceiling.

Ragini lays on top of him, Sanskar looks at her, kisses his lips, pulls his T-shirt a little, kisses the visible part of his chest, and bites there giving a love bite while he hisses, she licks the same place and kisses to reduce the pain.

Ragini: "Is that enough to boost you up?", asks innocently looking at him. He looks back at her,rolls along with her on the bed and comes on top of her,

Sanskar: "I don't think so", says with mischievous smile and slides her blouse a little kisses her shoulders and bites the place, she hisses in pain. He sucks and licks the bite to soothen the pain, she moans his name return. "It's already more than enough. Thank you baby ", says and leans in for a smooch which she reciprocates. They break the kiss and drift to sleep hugging each other after a while.
**********************

Next day morning,

RagSan wakes up to her alarm sound, both are still hugging each other. They stay like that for few more minutes then Sanskar gets up to leave while Ragini sits on the bed,

Ragini: "Sanskar!", calls for him in worried tone. Sanskar sits beside her and cups her face,

Sanskar: "I promise, everything will happen accordingly. And when it's the chance for us to get married, just say Yes. Ok?", she nods. He presses his lips on her forehead then leaves through the balcony.
***************
Sanskar is in the bathroom, standing under the running shower lost in his thoughts. Looks at the hickey on his chest, starts caressing it, 'I promised her when I am not even sure myself. I don't know, the things I planned will happen accordingly. What if fate has something else planned for us. No, no, no, negative thoughts aside. Whatever happens I will make sure we get married, Ragini. I will never break my promise, I promise'. Turns off the shower, he soon gets ready and leaves to find Laksh in the function hall.
*******************
In Laksh's room,

Laksh is getting ready in his room. Sanskar comes inside while locking the door silently.

Sanskar: "Hi! Getting ready for the marriage?"

Laksh: "yes, ofcourse. And you are here for?"

Sanskar: "I wanted to ask you, are you happy to marry Ragini?"(Laksh looks at him weirdly for asking such a question on the day of the marriage) "I mean, I saw you with another girl. You looked very happy while spending time with that girl. I thought you love her. Don't you?", questions him. Laksh starts getting tensed at the thought of getting caught, Sanskar observes this and continues, "Don't worry. I am here to advice you", he assures him.

Laksh: "I do", says finally gathering courage. "Actually, I love Swara. If I step away now then my dad will definitely kill me".

Sanskar: "If you don't step away now, you will be destroying the lifes of the two girls and 3rd is yours, you can never be happy. You will have a loveless marriage. Ragini is innocent, if she knows about this, she will definitely be heartbroken and on the other side Swara will be sobbing while thinking about you, her whole life. Do you want to spend your whole life regretting your decision?"

Laksh: "No, i don't want to. What should I do now?"

Sanskar: "Just stop the marriage before situation worsens. Just say the truth".

Laksh: "But my dad? He will...."

Sanskar: "he won't, you think a father will kill her own son? (Laksh nods No), that's why, just say your feelings to everyone before marriage starts, stop the marriage at any cost. About Swara, it's your responsibility to fight for your love. It may take few months or years, but they will definitely accept her someday or other. All the best bro, if you succeed today in stopping the marriage then you will definitely succeed in getting your love as well", says while patting his back giving him all the hope he needs and leaves.
*********************

What do you think will happen next?

Will Laksh stop the marriage? Or will he end up marrying Ragini?

Will Sanskar be able to keep his promise? Or will he lose her forever?

These questions will be answered in the next part. Till then keep guessing.
