Gudiya(doll)
Everyone sat outside OT with doomed face. The truth they tried to hide was coming face to face putting two lives in danger. Ladies were crying relying on each other's shoulders, while men sat lost with sad faces. Most tensed was Laksh who was given responsibility of his bhabhi by his brother with lot of trust.
Inside Ragini was fighting with her inner turmoil trying hard to stay strong and not spill apart. Swara was struggling, she was not sure what to comprehend from the happening, Each moment spent with Sanskar was moving in front of her eyes from the day she saved him to the day she saw him struggle in pain.
While Ragini was getting OT ready swara caught her hand.
Swara: Ragu, sanskarrr he he ( she could not speak as the labour pain was too much to handle)
Ragini (calmly caressing her hair while a nurse was wiping her sweat with cotton) Di please i promise we will tell you everything but right now baby needs to be delivered or we won't be able to save it. You know how important this phase is every second your babies breath are getting strangled please di push.
Swara: Why why from so many days you all arr trying to hide him? Why is he running away....ahhhh.
Ragini: Di, i know you have many such questions and you will get your answers but first thing first di remember how much jiju sa loved this baby. He wanted to be a father please di for him push harder di...
Swara was remembering Sanskars words that he said when they were on sand cliff.. The day she declared it was their baby.
Sanskar: "Rani sa rajput su Jaan bhi chali jaave toh chale hain pan apne vaade se piche na hatu. (queen i am a rajput even if i have to die i would but won't break my promise).
Main na janu bachpan mein ke hua par jab se pyaar ko samjho hu na tab se sirf tane man, pran, karam aur vachan se dharam patni manu su aur the hi umra bhar rahoge. yeh rajput ka vaada se aapse.. (I don't know what happened in childhood but from the time i understood love i have seen only you as my wife with heart, life, deeds and promises you shall remain forever... This is promise of a rajput)
Swara was lost in her Sanskar. What happened to all those promises? Where did all the love vanish?
Swara was loosing her sense Ragini was scared finally she did the unthinkable....and that honey voice melted in her ears the voice she awaited to hear from the time she woke up. Everything went silent for her.
Swara....
Swara: Sanskar....
I am there with you
A drop of tear escaped her eyes she wiped it childishly.
You my dear are very strong, it's matter of few minutes just fight don't loose hope. Our baby is waiting to see this world. I am waiting to see...
She didn't know whether it was real or hallucination. She got courage her mind started working that voice was like an adrenaline rush. She pushed and kept on pushing hard, finally Ragini was able to feel babies head.
Ragini: Few pushes more swara di we are there.
Senior doctor was looking amazed at the lady who was few seconds back not able to breath properly was suddenly full of energy.
Swara could only scream in pain while her heart was dancing in joy.
That unbearable pain was running through her body while the nurses held the legs she held the railing of the bed tight shouting louder. Her face had turned red while knuckles turned white.
Outside Laksh was standing in corner with phone and crying his heart out.
After lot of struggle finally swara gave birth to a beautiful angel. Ragini was trying to get swara concious.
Ragini: Di keep your eyes open please di...seee...swara couldn't hear anything but her eyes sprang open as her skin felt the sensation of another soft warm skin placed on her body.
Ragini: Di, it's a girl...I became masi .. (Her eyes were moist with mist. Her happiness had no bounds.)
Swara: Masi..... chachi nope you became chhoto maa....A bright smile appeared on her face.
Swara thinking about Sanskars words.
Sanskar: I want a daughter as beautiful as you.
Swara in present: Sanskar, see your daughter. I can feel her skin don't you feel jealous of me. I can smell and hear her she is softly moving her palms.
Swara couldn't move but just admire her lil one who was crying but suddenly went silent on touching her body. She was pink in colour, wrapped in blood clots and residue skin. Her little hands rested on swara's boobs. Feeling tired swara slightly closed her eyes but she could see blur image of some video call on the phone.
After sometime baby was cleaned and neatly wrapped in muslin cloth. Ragini gently held baby on swaras breast that little one comfortably latched to swara's breast and it started sucking presenting swara calmness. She felt her body getting relaxed as the baby drank milk. As the baby slept swara also slept off Ragini had tears in her eyes she had changed into clean clothes before touching baby she touched her face to her own face. Then lovingly she lovingly gave a hug and later placed its head gently on her shoulder. Rocking it softly patting the back making it burrp and keeping it close to her body.
Ragini spoke Sanskar and swara di's baby. "Jijusa" her eyes went moist she herself bathed the baby gently and then allowed the nurse to gently wrap her.
Ragini was out of OT wiping sweat from her forehead.
Everyone rushed to her and bombarded with questions. She informed about the arrival of Princess of Maheshwari clan. After uttara she was first daughter born to Maheshwari's everyone was happy at her arrival. Laksh was the first one to hold her though he was scared Ragini helped him.
His brother had given him the responsibility and today he was proud chhota papa of this angel. He was thanking God in his heart while his eyes were filled with tears. He with all elder's permission decided to distribute sweet and other necessary stuff to poor people so they would bless his angel.
He was insanely happy holding her she felt warm on his palms. Soft cheeks, pinks lips, tiny miny eyes. He very gently touched her cheeks to his and then spoke in her ears " Your dad loves you a lot but you are the world for your chhoto papa".
His hearbeats raced listening her little heart beating against his chest as he hugged her. He with much difficulty handed her to the elders.
Lakshmi rani sa: Maa, my baby is your grandchild she would waive off the curse from raisinghaniyas. Do love her like you loved me...
Lakshmi remembered her sanskar speaking while lying in her lap. Tears uncontrollably sprang and flowed from her eyes.
Elder ladies could see their little Sanskar in her. Each one showered her with immense love. All the grannies and grandpas took chances to cradle her. None of them allowed her down she was treated as a flower petal which would wither if they kept her down.
Swara gained consciousness everyone entered the room with only one expression 'fear'. Laksh's hands and feet were sweating. In these days swara due to Ragini had grown very close to Laksh and with this new angel she came even more close to his heart.
They were surprised as swara appeared absolutely normal she didn't ask a single question rather she was smiling. Something had changed in her she was behaving as they did earlier non chalant exactly as everyone wanted her to be.
Evening ladies went to Thank God at temple while Lakshmi rani sa went home to get food for swara. Ragini was on rounds while Laksh sat in the room staring at the little angel he had not even blinked his eyes in fear that the baby might need him any second he didn't wish to miss any of them. The carefree Laksh was turning into a careful dad.
Slight cry from the baby swara won't even know as Laksh would immediately pick her up and start cooing. He was doing the same when he observed baby got wet he immediately summoned a nurse who changed and gave baby to Laksh as she was changing her bedding Laksh observed everything very keenly.
Laksh held her close to his chest and was half lying on the sofa. Shekhar Raja sa came in shouldered by his son. His eyes glittered at the sight of that beautiful soft cotton bundled up in warm blanket cozying in her chachus arms. Her eyes were closed, his son made him sit beside laksh.
His hands trembled as he picked it to bless her. He was sinking into guilt looking at swara. How much had he loathed this girl, but at the end she only shouldered his responsibility. Did he even have the right to touch her daughter? The he remembered something...
" Please do bless my kid whole heartedly, i forgive you for everything you did to me." Shekhar Raja sa tightly closed his eyes to let the water floating in his eyes to flow down his cheeks.
Laksh: Kakasa, lijiye( uncle take) as he gestured the baby forward Raja sa immediately withdrew his hands out of fear.
Saksham consoled his dad with hand on his shoulder and Raja sa softly took her in his arms. That moment changed everything she gave an unknown relief to his guilt ridden burning heart. He was a changed man completely. He repented for all the sins he had committed.
Shekhar raja sa: Ya toh gudiya se....ke kahe se thare angrezi main
Saksham: Doll....
Raja sa : Haaan doll...
Swara kept on getting call from friends and relatives for best wishes. Roshni was summoned back to village and shekhar Raja sa took complete care of her. She was bought to visit angel by Khushi and swara was on seventh sky watching both her babies together.
In rounds of call she got a call from dr vinita with whom she worked in mumbai.
She is the one who had very first known about Swara's pregnancy. Also, the one who had informed Sanskar about Swara's pregnancy.
Vinita: Congratulations swara on being blessed with little angel.
Swara: Thank you but how did you know?
Vinita: Everyone back in mumbai hospital got this news today. I think Laksh sir ordered sweet boxes and some gifts for each member of staff. Also, everyone is given special monetary hikes. I also received it here in Belgium.
Swara: Belgium??
Vinita: Yes, Belgium I am here now settled with my hubby. Sir, also had one hospital here which was stalled due to some licensing issue but now it is completed so the senior staff with families are relocated in here.
Swara: Ohh.... How is Dr shazia?
Vinita: She is in doha recently married to her longtime boyfriend. Swara, it's been long since we met do come to Belgium?
Swara : Hmmm
As she was talking Lakshmi came, swara hanged up the call after formal bye. Lakshmi informed swara that she would be leaving and others would come in evening. She will send Khushi as she reaches home.
Swara: Maasa no its not needed as it is baby is sleeping i would also sleep now and wake up only in the evening. If baby wakes up by any chance nurse would be there.
Lakshmi: You are right but who will make my son understand this he wants a person continuously here.
Swara: Son???(she raised an eyebrow)
Lakshmi: woh woh Laksh...i was talking about Laksh he is also my son hain na...( Her slurry speech showed her weakening)
An opportunity swara was looking for after saahil it was Sanskar who was close to lakshmi rani sa and she was sure she knew everything.
Swara: Maa see her nose it looks like me na and her hair see na how soft they are just like ragu, naughtiness that she has got from devar sa, adarsh bhaiya's intellect, dadusa attitude, dadi sa anger... she kept praising while lakshmi nodded. She took everyone's name except Sanskars.
Swara: See maa look na her eyes...
Now lakshmi spoke being lost holding the little angel and observing her with smile on her face.
Lakshmi: It's just like my sanskar she is my son's replica. My grandchild pride of my son.
Swara: Who is that maa? Do we know him?
Lakshmi: (shocked) Swara...
Swara: What happened maa when he forgot us we should also forget him na just like you all forgot or i must say pretend to forget.
Lakshmi had tears in her eyes...
Swara: Maa i trust you all and i know you all must have tried to convince him, he would have got best treatment and did the best in his interest. Give a chance to me also na i wish to try once. Promise, I won't break and if nothing works would be back. Tell me what happened after that incidence? where is sanskar ? Don't keep me clueless.
Lakshmi: I assure you all the answers would reach you in few days at right time. Swara, it is not easy for you i know but it is also not easy for us. Everyone is dying inside you and angel are the happiness rest we have lost everything swara. Some chapters are good untouched as they would only wound your soul.
Saying this lakshmi walked out of the room. As she came out swara was crying her heart out but someone entered her room and swara was shocked to see the person. She wiped her tears and tried to get up but the person himself walked to her and hugged her.
Days went by everyone loved their angel specially Laksh who would call 100 times just to enquire about his barbie. He named hee barbie. Ragini was going mad because of his over caring attitude. Other side she was worried for her sister who didn't say anything. Nights Swara would be in sound slumber while Laksh and khushi took care of the baby.
It was the day of swara's discharge everyone was happy. Laksh was busy decorating the room. He had been mad at everyone and doing every single thing by himself. His barbie was coming home. While Ragini was busy with discharge formalities. Khushi was silently packing swara's stuff. Khushi had changed in these days she had become silent. That bubbly khushi was lost this one was a matured lady care taker.
Khushi: Baisa i will just be back. You get ready barbie is ready.
Swara: Hmmm ( as khushi was walking out she spoke) Sanskar forgot me, what about AR khushi?
Khushi: some relationship die a silent death so did ours.
She replied sternly and walked off. She was no more a soft hearted khushi she had become a fierce warrior like her father.
After swara's and Barbie's return Laksh and Ragini were married in simple ceremony. Swara was happy for her sister but couldn't attend the marriage till ceremonies got completed because everything reminded her of Sanskar. His promises, his love, his struggle for her, his passion, his wishes, above all their relationship.
Swara had started becoming weak day by day. She had requested for an outing and everyone agreed after a lot of hesitation. She was going to doha dubai for a luxury relaxation stay with her friend Dr Shazia. She was determined to wash off sanskar from her life at least that's what she told everyone.
After lot of insistence she was allowed to travel but, with khushi and in doha they had their business as well some dear relatives who would be hosting swara's and barbie stay. They wanted her to be at comfort and stay in their accomodation with shazia. Terms and conditions long list was given by them.
In the pretext swara personally also had done lot of research. She was excited about this trip. She was behaving weiredly for past few days had she really got over Sanskar?
Is this this the end to their story?
Was she ready to accept and stay as a stranger to him forever?
What if he never regains his memory and what if he regains?
If only memory is the issue why are they not allowing swara to meet him?
He was a passbaan but what about barbie isn't he suppose to be her passbaan too?
