The final chapter of this story.
Excited? 😀
Eid Mubarak for those who are celebrating it today and advance wish for the one who celebrating tomorrow ♥️
My Eid is tomorrow ♥️

Let's begin.....

Sanskar smiles holding Ragini's hand. He don't know how he gonna cherish the moment after spending those horrible hours with the fear of losing her. His mind was entirely blank with the answers for his own questions. That... What if something happened to Ragini? His entire world would be flipped that moment.
But now he couldn't thank God enough of times for being merciful to him by giving him his Ragini back. He got her in life with never ending barriers but losing her would have surely cost his life too!

Ragini looks at him. He was smiling being overwhelmed, he was placing his hand on her head or cheeks or shoulders literally caressing her, in fact he was not even bothered to look at the new born which was placed right beside them in the CRADLE.
How he could explain this present moment, he don't know.
It was like just cherish the moment within himself finding her back.

Ragini smiles and in a weak tone:Sanskar..
He moves bit close to her to listen to her clearly.
Ragini:I am not the new born.
He smiles :oh..
He turns to the cradle where he sees the baby who was sleeping. And he was still holding her hand.
While she smiled.

Sanskar:baby looks so cute and charming and have all features just like me, isn't it?
She looks him:see properly, like me!
Sanskar :you are weak you cannot see the face properly. But the baby is my copy that's why it looks so charming!
Ragini:so that you mean I am not charming and cute!
Sanskar looks at her and laughs:I was kidding, baby is your carbon copy!
She smiles.
When nurse interrupts:visiting hours are over!
Sanskar turns to her and nods:sister, just 2 minutes!
While the nurse smiles and nods.

Sanskar kissed on her backpalm and literally holds her hand in between in his hand.
Ragini:Sanskar you should go and rest now.
He nods.
He stood and unwillingly left her hand while she smiled.
And he moved to the baby and literally caressed it.
And he moves out.

Sameer smiles widely after Sanskar informed him about Ragini's well being.
Sanskar dialed om's number and informed him as he sent them home to rest despite they didn't wanted to go home. And also jaya.
Sameer was looking at him. At this moment should he inform Sanskar about Suhaan's condition!

Sanskar :what happened sameer? You seem to be disturbed?
Sameer gives him the reports of Suhaan.
He could see the test results of leukemia.
Sameer:4th stage blood cancer. He doesn't have much time. But he can live for sometime if his blood is changed and need a matching donor for bone marrow. That can push him to live for sometime.
Sanskar just didn't reply anything.for sometime.

Sameer:I know bhai you will end up deciding to do everything to save him. Despite you don't want to.. Because at the end you are my brother I know you at least to this much.
Sanskar looks at him.
Sameer:though whatever you decide I support you!
Sanskar:not because I want to save him. But once he used to be a family member, dad never even thought to hurt his enemy. Even if today he was alive he would do the same. Now we are just doing what dad would have done!
Sameer nods agreeing to him.

Later....

Sanskar was doing the formalities for shifting Ragini to room from ICU.
He was standing in the reception when soha holds his arm:daddy..
He turns and smiles:aagaye tum log.
Sanskar:baby was waiting and was constantly asking about you..
Soha:really?
Sanskar laughs a bit:now go make up with him. He is very angry..
Soha:daddy.. Do babies talk? I am not kid..
Sanskar smiles when he sees Siya standing with surbhi.
Siya looked at surbhi and she smiled and signed her to go.
Siya walked to him:daddy..
He smiles and pats her head:come come let's go. Mumma and baby will be shifted to room in 15 minutes.
While surbhi and soha moves.
When siya holds his hand:daddy i am sorry!
Sanskar turns to her when she hugged him.
He smiles caressing her hair.
Siya smiles hugging him tight. He is always forgiving that it doesn't even make them realise if you had upset him. The coolest person ever. Better fix... The coolest Dad!

Ragini was shifted to room.
Where Siya Soha were looking at the baby in the cradle. Which was blinking its eyes for every 2 seconds.
Soha:he doesn't see me only despite making so many noticeable efforts!
Sanskar :that's why I said he is upset with you!

Surbhi:bhabhi..
Ragini smiles at her.
Surbhi:how are you now? Everyone of us are scared!
Ragini holds her hand :am all good!

Sameer enters there with some balloons and cake:chachu is here to welcome nephew!
Followed by Anu and Om.
Ragini:now nephew don't want chachu.
Sameer:why why?
Surbhi teasing him:he wants a chachi.
Siya Soha:we also need a chachi.
Sameer looked at them having an expression of why me always?
And they laughed.

Time passed..
Ragini had her parents beside her who had many things to talk with her.

While Sanskar moved to meet Shaan's doctor who forwarded him the medical plan of cancer treatment which would nearly cost up to 20 lakhs if Suhaan doesn't collapse and his body doesn't give up. There was still last and riskier chance to save him.

Well, it might be foolishness to do all this for him. But things are not easy even to accept or abandon. Strange the world is only and only divided in 2 types of people. Either good and responsible or bad and selfish. That's the definition that could be given here.

Doctor:we will start with the treatment.
Sanskar nods.
Doctor :who is gonna be the donor for bone marrow?
Sanskar left out a breath before he could say 'I, myself'.
Surbhi interrupts joining there:I will...
Sanskar did not say anything for a moment.
Doctor:okay. You have to be here next Tuesday.

Sanskar:surbhi.. You are not going to be the donor..
Surbhi:why bhaai?
Sanskar:no surbhi just accept it rather than arguments.
Sameer joined then understands their conversation.
Sameer:bhaiyya is right. And I will..
Sanskar interrupt:I will be the donor.
While surbhi looks at the cancer treatment plans:at least I will support you in this..you should not deny me.
Sanskar smiles a bit and nods.
Sameer:but I feel like for whom we are doing this?
Surbhi:he would just ruin our peace...
Sanskar : and it's the time for his realisation that what he lost in his life. You know if wealth makes you to be selfish then deadly disease proves to regrets. Come on let's not discuss about this more...

He moves to the ward where Suhaan was watching TV resting peacefully. He was unaware about his health.
That's the nature, no one thinks about death but thinks there's a forever!

Suhaan sees the trio.
Suhaan:wow.. You came. After ruining my life, snatching my children and wife. How dare you to show up in front of me.
Sameer couldn't hold himself :just shut up with your nonsense...
Sanskar stops him.

He pulled the chair and sits:I am not here to discuss over this but something else.
Suhaan:what is left to speak? Sanskar this is really not good for you. You have underestimated me a lot of times but not anymore, anything that belongs to me I can take it back.....
Sanskar bit angrily interrupts :will you please maintain some silence and listen to me at least what I am saying.
Suhaan:I don't want your apolog..
Sanskar placed the file.
Suhaan looks at it. Basically he did not understand these medical wordings. What he could see what leukemia...
Sanskar:you have severely affected with cancer!
Suhaan was shocked.
Sanskar:I did not wanted to break to you in such a way but you left me with no other option!
Suhaan:no... Are... Are you... This.. This can't be possible...
He literally shivered in name of "Cancer"

Sanskar:but there's a treatment..
Suhaan looks at him.
Sanskar:it will start from tomorrow morning. You will be shifted to another hospital. You should not feel weak while taking up treatment, you have to keep your mental strength steady for this..
There was silence for sometime.

Sameer:whatever your treatment, that would be on us but in return you have to do one last favour for us...
Suhaan turned his face to him.
Sameer:can you please... I request you to not come into our life. Especially Ragini bhabhi's life?
Surbhi:Things have changed..you will not interrupt our life anymore.
Sanskar stood and moved.
When Suhaan:why help me still?
He was shivering out of fear and he wanted to cry out louder but he couldn't. He was left with this question, why still they did not let him die.
Sanskar turned :because we are not you!
He moves out followed by Surbhi and Sameer.

Sometime passed..

Ragini was sleeping when Sanskar took the baby in his hands. This was first time after the birth of baby he was holding it.
A smile appeared on his lips when baby looked at him,some months back he would have committed a sin if Ragini did not stop him. He thought to not let this bundle of joy to coming into this world. Ragini literally have saved him from doing the sins. He would be guilty and regrets. He would have never felt how it is to have all this moment. He kissed the forehead of the baby.

Baby sleeps in his hands and he placed it on the cradle back.
He smiles looking at Ragini.

After 5 days..
Ragini gets a discharge..
She walked holding Sanskar's arm.
While Anu was holding the baby.
Siya Soha were have so many things to tals about their baby brother.
On the other side Surbhi and Sameer were cracking jokes making Ragini to laugh.

Suhaan stopped a ward boy who was pushing him to a CT scan.
He could straightly see all of them. Seeing happy faces something really broke in him. Today this deadly disease got him the pure realisation of what he lost....
Tears makes ways in his eyes. He have no one at this moment of life, all alone. Not even a person who could console him or comfort him. If he knew life was going to play such a game with hin. He would have never let the family in roads.
Now no one is there to see his regrets.

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

Jaya was getting ready to go to meet Ragini and the baby where post birth Ragini stayed at her parents house, though it was her who held the baby first. She could not go visit them after her birth since beeji used to be unwell. Sanskar himself stopped her. Because the main reason was he did not wanted jaya to see Suhaan in that condition. As per her, Suhaan was that stuck thorn in neck that can't be removed either swallowed.

Sanskar entered her room.
Jaya:at least now take me to watch my Ragini and my grand son. Surbhi will stay here with beeji.
Sanskar nods.

He drives to Ragini's home.
When jaya looked at him:are you hiding something from me Sanskar?
Sanskar looks at her and nods in no.
Jaya:Suhaan?
Sanskar:he...(tried to look for reason) i filed a complaint against him.

And once they reach Ragini's home.
Jaya was very quick to move out of the car as she was really excited to meet Ragini and the baby.

Ragini was holding the baby when she gives to jaya who was really excited seeing the new member of the family.
Jaya smiles:you don't know how happy i am?
She caresses her cheeks.

Siya:daddy.. Today i was taken back to the team.
Sanskar :what taken back to the team? Say like my efforts paid well and I grabbed my position.
Siya smiled:yes my efforts paid well all because of you and grabbed the position!
He pats on her head:am so proud of you. And soon we will see you TV as a opener of Indian team.
She smiles getting motivated.
Sanskar:but..
Siya smiles continuing him:failure should not break me!
Soha:daddy.. I am existing too..
Sanskar stretched his lips and looks at Siya:soha is existing?
Siya nods in no. And they laughs.
Soha:that's not fair?!
Siya :what's not fair? Didn't you go funcity just few days back? And how can I forget you even went to carnivals with daddy and without me. Didn't you feel unfair then?
Soha:but you have been the potato. You did not care anyone despite i told you. So how is that my problem..?
Sita was about to protest but Sanskar interrupts :okay stop stop. No fighting. We wil' go to carnivals and funcity again. But please don't fight.
Both glared each other but respected his words of not fighting.

Siya:daddy what will we name the baby?
Sanskar:being the sisters you guys did not think about it yet? But fighting for small small things.
Soha:I told you.. We will name him saransh.
Siya smiles:saransh.. We will name this.
Sanskar :okay done!

Jaya walked to kitchen where Anu was cooking. She joined her talking to her.

Sanskar sits beside Ragini.
Ragini:got some time finally.. nowadays you are so busy that you don't even see me.
Sanskar :really? Here I was thinking my entire life is yours!
Ragini looks at him being annoyed:I do not wanna buy cheese..
Sanskar :even if I say truth you find it as a joke!
Ragini face-palms.
Sanskar laughs a bit.
And takes baby in his hands:what have you thought about name?
Ragini:I did not think..
Sanskar :siya soha planned already they would name Saransh.
Ragini smiles:did you like the name?
Sanskar:Haan.
Ragini :then I also liked it..
Sanskar looks at her:are you selling cheese now?
Ragini laughs:expanding husband's business is a kind a of duty of wife!
He laughs.

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

Some months later

Sanskar was watching siya. It was her under 14 selection where her good shots selected her into the state team of under 14.
Once she was awarded with player of the series. She runs to Sanskar giving him her award.
While he hugged her being so proud of her.
Siya:you deserve this award daddy!
Sanskar smiles:and the best award of my life!

Once they reach home.
Ragini had planned for surprise for siya for her achievement.
Saransh was in her embrace.
Sanskar forwards his hand to him.
But he ignored simply watching him.
Sanskar :Saransh don't you wanna go with dad?
Ragini controlled her laughter.
Saransh turned his face other side.
And she laughs.
Despite that Sanskar was about to take him. Since he could not tolerate her laughing for this.
But Saransh ends up crying.
Sanskar face-palms:sorry sorry..raho wohi pe!
And baby calms after she pats his back.
And she silently laughed seeing him.
Sanskar :how can I forget after all he is your son. He will literally have same attitude.
Ragini :see see.. Same feeling I had when siya soha doesn't even bothered to look at me once. When they are with you.

Sanskar smiles and nods.
Ragini:and now my son is taking revenge for all those unfair things.
Sanskar:uff.. Then i am in danger.
Ragini:for sure!
He acts stretching his lips in disappointment but ends up laughing.

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

Sanskar closed Suhaan's eyes after he breathed his last.
He remembered some of their good memories. Suhaan taking him to school. Or him pranking on Suhaan. Or he joking on Suhaan's fashion and he chasing him.
How things changes?
Now those bad memories would have caught him up even feel sympathetic towards his brother. But still unknowing a tear dropped down his eyes.
He quickly wipes it away.

Sameer:bhaiyya..Maa refused to come
Sanskar turns to him.he sent sameer to jaya and let her know about Suhaan. But she refused. Though he was her son though she had some soft corners but the moment she remembers her husband. All of the sympathy died down. She did not even see him for the last time.

Sameer:bhabhi is calling you.
He forwards Sanskar's phone which was with him.
He receives the call.
Ragini :where are you Sanskar?
Sanskar:just.. Stuck up with some work.
Ragini:okay then I will.. Wait are you okay?
Sanskar:yeah.. I am..
He tried to smile.
Ragini :don't work out of your capacity(she laughs a bit) I can even handle kids not you sometimes. Okay I won't disturb you anymore..
Sanskar interrupts:anything important Ragini
Ragini:nothing much.. actually we got a good relation for sameer. Girl is educated as well as beautiful. You talk with him once. I asked him several times if he have someone in his life. But he refused. Though he says he is interested in arranged marriage, you ask him once.
Sanskar:okay!

They complete his last rites.

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

Ragini was sitting in front of a Mike.
Where there was some of her fans who stands even in huge line to listen her poetry which definitely affects some of their life. Some with broken love story. Some for the second chance. Some with the hope to find a second love. Some with finding a true love and etc etc..
Today she was a travel writer, she explored every small things about different places and started with her blogging and her hobby of writing a micro tale was many heart's medicine!

"Ek rishta aisa tha..
Jo khamosh tha..
Kuch isharon se..
Aur kuch muskurahat se..
Phir bhi ajnabee se the..
Par dil ne pehchaana
Apna dusra hissa
Phir shuru hua
Ek nayi manzil
Iss bar na kuch palon ka tha
Lekin.. hamesha and forever tha!"

Sanskar smiles listening Ragini's micro tales which was now running hit show.
He was waiting for her outside. Still he could listen her voice.

Time really travelled back to the day..
" let's have some talk"he told her trying to start a conversation with her.
" we didn't talk much earlier"
"may be for this day"
And the interruption of Soha had literally found those unspoken word that's just delivered with a smile!

That moment he could not leave her broken after witnessing Suhaan. And saving him from the traffic. All she said was she want to be alone but the fact was she was desperately in need of someone that the moment he found and consoled her. All she could do was show her broken side which she was hiding behind her beautiful smile.

And the time when he actually realised that she had no hope in future or either she wanted to give a second chance to herself.
With her words "I stopped living in illusions" had really got more confidence to make those illusions true!

Depite she was his crush way before. But the fact was he understood the true meaning of love and wanted to make her understand about it.

Things shattered when she declined his proposal but still there was something which did not let her stop caring or asking about him. And she really surprised him with her reply for the proposal. That was the best day of his entire life.

Life was sorted and more harmonious when he turned 'Daddy' from 'chaachu'. In other word he became a perfectionist because of his daughters.

To ease his pain which was deep in his heart, she did everything she could. How blessed he was to have her in his life...
He cannot express in simple words, it's way more ahead the world. He can just do one thing... That was to thank God!

She definitely have not left him alone in every phase of life. Even if he is wrong. She corrected him. And when she is wrong he corrected her..
And the one thing did not change was their Love.
All the ups and downs rewarded the wonderful life for them.

Ragini stepped outside the building where she was talking to her followers with a broad smile on her face.
Sanskar sees her.

And once she reached near him.
He just hugged her tight.
She was confused of this surprise hug suddenly but she smiles.
While it was not just Hug for him. It was literally EVERYTHING that he know he cannot express in words with her but just with the Hug.

Though she was surprised but not for long because she was same as him at this topic whenever she would remember about her colourless life which was turned colourful by him. She cannot stop herself from hugging him and he doesn't ask for the reason too.

And this was interrupted by 17 year old Siya Soha who came there with little 5 year old Saransh.
Siya forwards a cake.
While Soha plays her guitar.
Siya soha:happy wedding anniversary mumma and daddy!
Ragini and Sanskar smiled.
Saransh giggled:happy anniversary.
He forwarded the handmade card for them.
They sees it and smiles.
Siya:let's cut the cake now!
Soha:and later to chachu who have organised party for you!
Ragsan smiles and they cut the cake.
Storing this little moment in their bunch of memories. after few years when their kids would follow their life, surely they would cherish these moments!
