Chapter 13

MAHA-EPISODE

In the meeting room of Maheshwari's company:

The men of Maheshwari family were discussing with some business men about a project..

Laksh: We will get a double profit with this deal.. I think we should go ahed with it..

Sanskar: Laksh is right, the project is interesting and the profit too, hamari company ke liye bohat faidemand hoga..

Laksh: So, shall we..

But before he could complete his sentence the front door opened and ragini in a distorted state came inside, her face was full of tears, her hair messed up.

Laksh, Sanskar, Dp and Rp are shocked to see her in that state..

Laksh immediately went towards ragini: ragini kia howa? Tum ro kyu rai ho?

He set her messed hair and wiped her face cupping it while she was still crying..

Sanskar, Dp and Rp rushed to her too..

Dp: Ragini beta kya hua?.. tum aisi halat mai..

Ragini sobbed..

Sanskar: Dekho Ragini, pehle rona band karo, calm down and bataao hua kya hai?

Guards came behind and were about to hold Ragini.

Guard: sir maine inko mana kia tha magar yeh seedha andar agai

He grabbed her arm and laksh pushed him back..

Laksh: HATH MAT LAGANA USKO!

His one arm was over her shoulder holding her: HOW DARE YOU? Jantay ho yeh kaun hain? She is my wife!!

He cupped ragini's face again: ro ku rai ho mera bacha kya howa?

Ragini: laksh apko pata hai urvashi maasi zinda hain..

This came as a shocker And his eyes got bigger..

Also Sanskar, Rp and Dp were stunned..

Ragini cried: aur unho nai hi humari gungun ko humsay cheen lia hai..

Ragini broke down dashing her head in laksh's arms, while laksh was stunned but still held her with both his arms..

Ragini hiding her head in his broad chest: humay humari gungun chai laksh warna hum mar jaein gai..

Sanskar turned to the clients joining his hands: We are really sorry, hamare ghar ka maamla hai.. if you please can kindly excuse us..

The clients nodded and started to leave..

Dp: Beta.. sambhalo apne aap ko.. ham gungun ko kuch nehi hone dein ghe..

Ragini was still crying: Ham hamari gungun ke bina nehi jee sagte.. ham mar jaaye ghe..

Laksh: aur mera kia?..

Ragini looked up: ham iss sach kai sath ni jee saktay laksh kai humara bacha, hum dono ka... Humari beti zinda hai par humaray sath ni hai. Laksh apsay juri har cheez humaray jeenay ki waja hai. Humnay apko bohat pyar kia hai, khud sai bhi zada..

Laksh had tears.. he kissed her forehead: hum humari gungun ko dhondh laein gai ragini wo mil jaye gi tum apnay apko sambhalo

Ragini: mujhay meri beti chai kisi bhi keemat pai..

Laksh hugged her while she kept crying..

Later..

At the police station of Kolkata..

Swara and Sanskar were standing in a jail while Kavita was giving them the back and smirking..

Swara: Kavita ham tumhe kuch puch rahe hai! tumne hi to Mausi Ji ka murder kiya tha aur usi ke liye tumhe jail hui thi.. to phir Mausi..

But before he could say anything more Kavita started to laugh evily..

Swara and Sanskar looked at each other..

She turned and went towards Swara: Voh to sab hamara plan tha Swara.. tumhe phasane ke liye.. lekin voh kaam nehi kiya to kya.. Urvashi mausi to baazi maar gai!.. Abh apni beti ke bina Ragini jeete jeete mar jaaye ghi aur Ragini ke bina Swara..

She smirked showing a thumb down..

Swara slapped her hardly..

Swara: tumharay in sab plans ki waja sai urvashi maasi nai humay peechay sai dhoka diya hai. Kavitha agar ragini aur laksh ki beti na mili na toh mai tumhay choro ghi nehi!!!

She held Kavita's neck strangling it: Maar daalo ghi tumhe!! Acha nehi kiya tumne hamare sath!!

Snskaar tried to stop her and pulled her back holding her shoulders: Swara hosh mai aao! Iske sath time waste karne ka koi faida nehi hai.. chalo!

Kavitha: aray jao jao tum dono behno ki zindagi mai toh likha hi hai trapna toh tarpo!

Swara and Sanskar glared at her..

1 week later..

Every one were sad that they could not do anything to bring their grand child back. Everyone knew that urvashi is alive..

Annapurna, Dp and Sujata and Rp were sitting in the hall.. all had a sad expression on their face..

Sujata was crying loudly and Rp was trying to calm her down with his hands around her shoulders..

Rp: Sujata chup ho jaao.. sambhalo khudko..

Sujata: Arey kaise sambhalu? Itni khus thi mein jab mane pata chala ke Ragini ki bacchi huwi hai.. lekin ek pal, ek pal bhi voh khusi nehi theh rahi is ghar par!.. - she sobbed..

Annapurna: Kitne sapne dekhe the mene apne pota poti ke baare mai.. socha tha is ghar ko apni kilkaaryaan se bhar de ghe.. lekin is ghar mai to meri poti ke kadam bhi nehi pare.. aur sab bikhar gaya.. sab bikhar gaaya..

She cried too.

Dp: Ham aise haar nehi maan sagte hai. Maheshwari khandan ki pehli waris hai Gungun, hamari poti.. aur ham usko dhoondh kar hi rahe ghe!

Parineeta and Uttara were watching them from far..

Parineeta looked down crying: Sab hamari galti hai.. sab hamari galti.. agar gusse mai aa kar hamne itni nafrat na phelaai hoti is ghar mai.. to aaj yeh parivaar kitna khush hota.. lekin hamari badle ki aag ne sab kuch barbaad kar diya.. ek choti si bacchi ko bhi nehi choda..

Adarsh came and put a hand on her shoulder: Apne aap ko dosh daina band karo Parineeta.. jo hamari kismat mai likha tha.. voh hi hona tha..

Uttara: Haan Bhabhi.. yeh sab Urvashi massi ne kiya hai.. aap ki koi galti nehi hai.. dukh to bas isi baat ka hai.. ki ham hamari gungun ke liye kuch kar bhi nehi paa rahe.. aur Ragini bhabhi to.. jaise sirf saans hi le rahi hai.. jee nehi rahi..

They looked down sadly..

Swara, who was standing there, heard them and felt miserable..

She turned around and was about to go when she dashed into Sanskar..

Swara looked at him: Sanskar.. - she couldn't control herself and hugged him crying – Sanskar sab bikhar raha hai.. meri behan itni tarap rahi hai aur mein chah kar bhi kuch nehi kar paa rahi.. hamare sath hi aisa kyu ho raha hai.. Kya jaise Kavita ne bola.. hamri kismat mai sirf tarpna hi likha hai?

Sanskar tried to calm her down: Swara don't cry.. bharosa rakho.. sab thik ho jaayega.. Gungun mil jaye ghi.. jald..

Swara kept crying..

In RagLak's room..

Ragini was sitting on the bed looking at the photo of a baby with teary eyes and caressing it..

She just lives.

Everyday she thought about their daughter..

A tear skipped from Ragini's eye..

And Laksh suffered seeing her that way..

Laksh peeked out from the half closed door of the room.. a tear skipped from his eye..

Ragini's laughter echoed in his ears..

He shut his eyes as tears fell from them.. and Ragini's smiling face came in front of him..

He wiped his tears and went towards her..

He sat near her and looked at her for a little while Ragini kept staring at the photo of the little baby..

After a while Laksh said: Ache insaano ke sath kabhi bura nehi hota Ragini..

Ragini, without removing her eyes from the photo: Hamare sath.. bura ho raha hai.. ham ache nehi hai kya Laksh?

Laksh looked at her feeling miserable..

It was true: his love and everything related to him had an huge impact on ragini.

Later..

Ragini was standing near the window looking at the sky when laksh put a hand on her shoulder.. she turned and he showed her a rose, ragini without a smile took it.. laksh took out another from his pocket

'Pal doo pal ki ku hai zindagi

Iss pyar ko hai, sadiyan kafi nahin'

Ragini took it as well and went towards the bed sitting on it, laksh sat in front of her on his knees and signaled ragini to smile, her eyes filled up again. Laksh took another rose and forwarded it, ragini took it.

'Toh khuda sai maang lu, mohlat mai aek nayi

Rehna hai bas yahan, ab dur tujhsay jana nahin'

She stood up to go and laksh hugged her from behind touching his nose on her cheek, he remembered uttara's function night when he hugged her the same way..

'Jo tu mera humdard hai

Suhana har dard hai'

Ragini cried and looked at him and he took out another flower and this time she smiled a bit..

'Teri muskurahatein hain, takat meri

Mujhko inhi sai umeed mili'

He kissed her cheeks on her tears, cupping her face and wiping her tears saying a no from his head.. ragini hugged him..

'Chahay karay koi sitam yeh jahan

Inmai hi hai sada hifazat meri'

He held her hand and took her to the dressing table showing her image in the mirror, she was in a simple saree without anything except her mangalsutra and sindoor.

There was a picture placed on the dressing of raglak's wedding .

Both of them remembered their wedding and smiled..

'Zindagani bari khoobsurat hui

Jannat ab aur kia hogi kahin'

He took out a borla and placed it on her head setting it. Ragini saw him with immense love, he sat beside and took out a new box, ragini saw it curiously. He opened it and showed two diamond bangles.

He kissed her both wrists and make her wear them

'Suhana har dard hai

Jo tu mera humdard hai'

Ragini stood up: laksh ap humaray liye itna mat keejay

Laksh: shhhh mera bacha yeh mai tumharay liye nahin balkay apnay liye kar raha hoon, woh kia hai na yeh jo tumhari smile hai na..

Ragini smiled a bit.

Laksh: haan yahi wali, ismay meri jaan basti hai..

Ragini looked down she was blushing a bit..

Laksh adored her: jo kho dia hai wo toh shaid ni lakay dai sakta but i promise ragini we are going to have tons of babies. Raglak ki pyaar ki nishanian..

Ragini hit laksh on his shoulder and hid her face in both her hands. Laksh admired her, ragini hugged him..

Laksh: i love you

Ragini: i love you too..

The next day..

All in the Maheshwari's Mansion courtyard were busy in making arrangements for Ganesh Pooja..

Ragini was sitting on the floor in front of the main door while making "rangoli" with coloured powder..

She was lost in her thoughts without any expression on her face when Laksh came there and sat near her: bohat sundar..

Ragini looked at the rangoli putting aside her hair strand and by this a bit of color got on her cheek as her hands were full of it: Sach?

Laksh stared at her: Mein Rangoli ki nehi.. – he touched her cheek with a finger taking a bit of color and then touched her nose – tumari baat kar raha tha..

Ragini smiled a bit: Laksh aap bhi na..

She took a diya and lighted it to put it in the center of the rangoli.. but just then the flame trembled and both Ragini and Laksh immediately surroanded the diya with their hands..

They looked at each other.. Laksh smiled..

Swara, who saw the scene, furrowed her eyebrows feeling uneasy.. she fastly ran to Ragini without thinking much and hugged her..

Ragini was stunned.. she looked at Laksh hugging Swara back.. he was confused too..

Ragini: kya hua Swara?..

Swara: pata nehi Ragini.. ajeeb sa feel ho raha hai.. jaise kuch bohat bura hone wala hai..

Just then Sanskar came: Swara, Ragini, Laksh.. bahar aa jaao.. Maa, Baba aur Dadi Maa bhi aa chuke hai.. aur pooja bhi shuru hone wali hai..

Swara and Ragini broke the hug and nodded..

They went outside and saw Sharmishta, Dadi and Shekhar there..

SwaRagini: Maa.. - they immediately went to hug her sideways..

Sharmishta smiled putting her hands on their cheeks..

Sharmishta: kaisi hai meri bacchyaan?..

Ragini: vaisi hi jaise mr. gadodia chod kr ghe - she glared at Shekhar who looked down, while her eyes welled up again..

Laksh came to take blessings from Sharmishta and Dadi Maa and greeted Shekhar joining his hands but looking away..

Laksh went to Ragini and wiped her tears hugging her before she could cry again..

Shekhar and Dadi looked at each other..

Out of the Maheshwari Mansion gate, a lady was holding a baby whose neck was adorned by a ganpati locket, the baby was in pink colour blanket and crying out loud.

On the other side..

Pandit Ji called everyone for morning pooja in front of a ganpati idol placed in the courtyard: Pooja arambh karne ka same aa gaaya hai..

Everybody gathered around the idol..

The pandit handed over the thaal to Annapurna and Dp who started to do the aarti of ganpati's idol, followed by Sujata and Rp, and then Sharmishta and Shekhar who passed the thaal to Parineeta and Adarsh..

Swara and Sanskar held the thaal and did the aarti..

Swara closed her eyes: Bappa ji, mann mai ajeeb sa darr hai lekin aap par vishwas hai.. Meri behan ko kuch mat hone daina..

She opened her eyes and SwaSan forwarded the thaal to Ragini and Laksh..

Ragini closed her eyes praying in her heart: Ganpati ji hamari bacchi ki raksha karna.. voh jaha bhi ho, us par apni kirpa banaai rakkhna..

Laksh looked at her and then at the idol: Mein apse bas meri Ragini ki khushi maangna chahta hu.. uski har khwahish puri karna..

Meanwhile..

The lady handed over the baby to a goon, the camera focused and it is revealed to be urvashi..

Urvashi: ab tum iss bachi ko smuggle kar saktay ho.

Goon nooded..

Urvashi: jab yeh bachi iss shehar iss mulk sai bohat dur chali jaye toh mujhay btana zaror meray dil ko thandak milni chai kai jinho nai humay itha bazat kia usi ghar kai khoon kai sath yeh haal hoga.

Urvashi touched the baby cheeks smirking: aek dum meri laado jaisi hai par kia karu laado ny bhi mujhay ni samjha.

The baby held urvashi's hand and cries loudly..

At the same time, both Laksh and Ragini felt their heart pinching while doing the pooja..

Urvashi harshly took her finger out of babies grip while the baby cried loudly..

Urvashi: Le jaao isey!

The goon took away the baby who kept crying..

On the other hand..

Maheshwari family was busy with the guests when dhol wale came with few ladies whose faces were covered..

There was loud noise in the whole mansion everybody was dancing.

Swara was feeling uneasy and keeping her eye on ragini to see if she is fine..

She was following Ragini trying to walk in the crowd when suddenly she dashed into Sanskar..

Sanskar: Swara kya huwa? itni pareshan kyu lag rahi ho? is everything Ok?

Swara: Sanskar pata nehi, bohat darr lag raha ki kuch galat na ho jaaye.. mujhe Ragini ki bohat chinta ho rahi hai.. mujhe uske paas rehna hai bas!

She looked at Ragini taking a tray and going inside the house.. Swara was about to go inside when Uttara pulled her in the middle of the crowd to dance..

Meanwhile..

Ragini was come in the kitchen and was putting the juice in the glasses when her phone rang.. she picked it up..

Ragini: hello?

Lady: jiji khush nahin hain laado!..

Ragini was shocked and her mouth was hung open while her eyes were welled up with tears.. she, with great difficulty said: maasi?

Urvashi: theek pehchana. Hum jantay hain keh tum sab jantay ho keh hum zinda hain aur tumhari beti bhi humaray paas hain..

Ragini covered her mouth and cried.. she couldn't form words: maasi please ..... - She was sammering - maasi humay humari bachi dai doo please hum vada kartay hain kai hum koi police complain ni karein gai paka.. Bs humari beti lauta doo..

Urvashi: bola tha na laado swara ka sath dai gi toh khoon kai ansoo roye gi..

Ragini: maasi humari beti..

Urvashi: bohat pyari hai bilkul teray jaisi hai wohi ankhein wohi gaal. Aur har wakt roti rehti hai..

Ragini shut her eyes feeling the pain..

Ragini sobbed and shouted: maasi hum hath jortay hain please humay humari beti kahan hai bta doo maasi..

Urvashi: bachi toh humnay beech dii hai laado, bs kuchi waqt mai wo tujsay bohat dur chali jaye hi..

Ragini faltered a bit and the tray fell down.. all the glasses got broken in many pieces..

Ragini: beech dii? Ap aisa kaisay karsakti hain maasi wo humari beti hai aur ap uskai sath? Wo kitni choti hai maasi!

Urvashi laughed evily: bs yahi tarap dekhna chahtay thay. Teri beti ko kuchi dair mai ganpati Ji ke mandir kai peechay walay ghaati sai lai jaein gai bacha sakti ho toh bacha lo.

Ragini sobbed: maasi..

But the phone was cut..

Ragini looked here and there covering her mouth with her hand.. she was sweating and tears were continuosly falling from her eyes..

She wiped her face trying to calm herself down and then ran out of the kitchen..

She came out of the house and looked around..

There were so many people dancing and throwing colors in the air, so much noise of the dhols that Ragini wasnt able to see any of the family member..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Swara, Sanskar, Sujata and Rp were dancing in the middle, Parineeta and Adarsh were a little far from them while DP, Annapurna, Sharmishta, Shekhar and Dadi were on the other side..

Ragini was trying to get in the crowd to find one of them..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

She tried to make her way but someone pushed her..

Ragini shouted: Swaraaaa!!

But there was a lot of noise..

Swara stopped dancing feeling something but then Sanskar held her hand and she started to dance again..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Ragini looked around and saw Laksh.. she raised her hand and called him to get his attention..

She was crying but Laksh couldn't see her due to the crowd..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Ragini sobbed and turned running towards the gate of the MM..

As she is going out, Swara turned towards the gate..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

But just then someone threw red color powder in the air and no one saw Ragini going away..

She reached in the empty road and kept running as fast as she could..

"Jwaala si chalti hai aankhon mein jiske bhi

Dil mein tera naam hai.."

She was running with bare feet.. all she knew was that she had to save her daughter..

"Parwaah hi kya uska aarambh kaisa hai aur kaisa parinaam hai"

The sun was shining but Ragini kept running..

"Dharti ambar sitaare hai

Usski nazaare utaarein

Darr bhi uss se dara re

Jiski rakhwaliya re karta saaya tera.."

On the other side..

At Mm..

All were still dancing and the dhols were still playing..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Suddenly Swara dashed into a lady whose veil got off..

Swara: I am s...

She got shocked to see Urvashi maasi.. both looked at each other with anger..

Swara: Aap?!

Urvashi smirked: Tumhe kya laga.. tumari zindaghi barbaad kiye bina hi chaley jaaye ghe?.. Afsoos to bas is baat ka hai ki Laado ne bhi tumara sath diya.. aur uske sath bhi bura karna para..

Swara looked at her with rage in her eyes and slapped her hardly..

The dhols wale stopped and all who were dancing stopped too..

Both Maheshwaris and Gadodias got shocked to see Urvashi there..

Swara shouted: Gungun kaha hai massi?! Kaha le kar gaye hai aap hamari gungun ko?!

Annapurna went to her too: Urvashi tumhe batana hi hoga hamari poti kaha hai?!

Urvashi looked away smirking and crossing her arms but Sujata held her elbow and shook her harshly: Sunaai nehi daita ke?! Bol hamari Gungun kaha hai, nehi to pichli baar to nehi mari thi par is baar maare hathoon sai mar jaao ghi!

Sharmishta: Haan Urvashi.. abh bohat hua.. chup chaap bataado Gungun kaha hai, varna acha nehi hoga!

Urvashi just ignored all..

Laksh was looking around as he noticed that Ragini wasn't there... he went inside the house looking for her and shouting her name: Ragini!.. Ragini!!

He looked everywhere but there was no sign of Ragini..

He passed a hand on his hair getting tensed..

He returned in the courtyard and went towards Swara, who was still asking to Urvashi about Gungun's whereabout..

He interrupted her: Swara, Ragini ko dekha kya?

Swara saw him and got confused: Laksh kya hua?

Laksh: Ragini kahi nehi hai!

Everyone got alert hearing this...

Sharmishta: Aise kaise nehi mil rahi Ragini!? Voh to tumare sath thi na?!

Laksh: Pooja tak mere sath thi lekin phir..

Urvashi chuckled..

Laksh looked at her stunned.. he glared at her: Kya kiya hai aapne meri Ragini ke sath?!! Bolo warna mujhse bura koi nehi hoga!

Urvashi: laado toh apni beti ko bachanay gai hai.. kia naam hai uska.. haan..gungun ko. Par bacha paye gi ya ni yeh toh humay ni pata..

Laksh and all got shocked..

Sharmishta held Urvashi's arm making her turn and slapped her hardly..

Urvashi put an hand on her cheek looking at her angrily..

Sharmishta: tumhay sharam ani chai urvashi tum kitna gir chuki ho. Btao meri ragini kaha hai

Urvashi: aek thapar uss din mara tha jiska anjam mai maine sabko yeh saza dii aur ab yeh jo thapar mara hai iska hisab bhi hoga!

She took the phone and dialled somewhere..

Urvashi: haan urvashi bol rahay hain. Bachi ko smuggle mat karo , balkay abhi uski maa waha uss bachi ko bachanay aa rahi hai.. - she looked at the Maheshwaris and Gadodias smirking - bachi aur uski maa dono ko maar daalo!

Everyone got shocked..

Swara snatched the phone from urvashi: dekho tum aisa kuch ni karo gai!

But the line had cut down..

Urvashi started to laugh evily..

Laksh faltered a bit, stunned..

Just then police came and arrested Urvashi who kept laughing: Mujhe jail bhijvaa kar Ragini aur uski beti Gungun nehi bach paaye ghi!! Maar daale ghe un dono Maa beti ko! Tum sab kabhi khush nehi reh paaye ghe! Kabhi nehi!!

The police took her away..

Laksh was still stunned: Mein Ragini ko dhoondne jaa raha hai! Meri Ragini aur meri beti ko kuch nehi hoga.. mein unhe kuch nehi hona doonga!

Sanskar put a hand on his shoulder: Mein tumare sath chalta hu Lucky..

Swara went towards them too: Mein bhi.. Ragini aur Gungun ko kuch nehi hoga!

She was extremly tensed too..

Dp: Adarsh gaari nikaalo! Jaldi!

Adarsh nodded and went to take out the car..

Sharmishta and Shekhar looked at each other worried for their daughters..

Sujata was crying: Yeh ke ho raha hai.. voh bhi Ganpati Ji ki pooja ke din itna bura kaise ho sagta hai..

Sharmishta looked at her and then ran in front of the Ganpati's idol.. she joined her hands and praid out loud: Agar aap hain Bhagwan to aaj meri Ragini ka sath daina! Usko kuch mat hone daina! Kuch mat hone daina.. - she cried while Dadi tried to support her..

The Pandit played the golden horn..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Here Ragini was still running without slippers..

"Ho...

Teri bhakti ka vardaan hai

Jo kamaaye woh dhanwaan hai

Bin kinare ki kashti hai woh

Deva, Tujhse jo anjaan hai.."

She reached the mandir and went inside.. she looked at Ganpati's idol and joined her hands begging while crying: Please hame hamari beti sai milwa di jiye..

"Yun tto mooshak sawari teri

Sab pe hai pehredaari teri.."

Here the baby was placed on the floor of a dark place and was crying loudly..

Some goons were coming towards the house were she was kept..

"Paap ki aandhiyaan na kaha.."

Ragini wiped her tears touching the feet of the ganpati's idol and then started to run out of the mandir again..

"Kabhi jyoti na haari teri.."

Laksh was in the car with Sanskar, Swara and Sharmishta.. he was driving as fast as he could while all were looking out for Ragini..

Sharmishta was praying..

"Apni taqdeer ka woh, khud sikander huaa re

Bhool ke yeh jahaan re, kiski silien ya haare..

Sath paaya tera hey"

The screen freezed in three: On one side Ragini was coming out of the mandir, on the other Laksh and the family were in the car almost near the mandir and at the center Gungun was still in the house behind of the mandir crying loudly..

"Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha..

Deva Shree Ganesha.."

Laksh's car was about to come near the mandir when suddenly it got a lot of windy and the crowd of people carrying an idol of Ganpati passed in front of them..

At the same time Ragini crossed them from the other side..

The people of the group were shouting..

"Ganpati Bappa Moreya!

Ganpati Bappa Moreya!!"

Laksh was looking for them to go in the mandir impatiently thinking about Ragini and their daughter..

As soon as the group passed, Laksh started the car again, going away without noticing Ragini who was going behind the mandir..

Few goons took also the same path behind her..

"Hare ram hare ram, ram ram hare hare..

hare krrishna hare krrishna, krrishna krrishna hare hare!!"

Ragini ran to the old house behind the mandir and her heart beats were rising..

She went to the door and then opened it, she was crying and panting at the same time..

As she opened the door, she saw HER there..

Her daughter.. her and Laksh's Gungun.. placed on the floor.. she was crying so much..

There was complete silence... jsut the wind was blowing..

Ragini put both her hands on her mouth covering it, finally she was few steps away from her daughter..

'Kia bebaasi hai yeh

Kia majboriyan'

Ragini moved towards her daughter who was crying and her eyes sparkled with tears.

'Hum paas hain phir bhi

Kitni hai duriyan'

The baby's eyes got bigger as ragini sat on her knees and her face was just two inches away from the baby's.. both of their eyes were same.

'Jism tu jaan mein..

Teri pehchaan mein..'

Ragini with trembling hands took her daughter in her arms and engulfed her in a hug Crying loudly..

'Mil kar bhi.. na mile..

Yeh hai kaisa bharam..'

Ragini: humari gungun, humari beti..

'Yeh hai tere karam..

Kabhi khushi kabhi gham..

Na judaa honghe ham..

Kabhi khushi kabhi gham..'

She saw her and gungun's ganpati chain and ragini's mangalsutra got entangled. Ragini cried seeing her locket in her daughter's neck

Flashback:

Ragini was setting her bed sheet when sharmishta came in..

Sharmishta: ragu tu yahan hain? Beta mai tujhy kabsay dhondh rai hoon.

Ragini smiled: ku maa kuch kaam tha?

Sharmishta: teri nani nai teray liye dekh kia bheja hai

She showed her ganpati locket

Ragini: yeh kitna sundar hai

Sharmishta made her wear it: sundar bhi hai aur aisay bhagwan ka ashirwad hamesha teray sath rahay ga

Ragini hugged sharmishta: i love you maa.

FLASHBACK ENDS:

Ragini's tear fell on gungun's face and she smiled making a baby's voice . Ragini kissed gungun's face non stop

Ragini in a baby's way: apko pata hai apki mama nai apko kitna miss kia. Ab apko khud sai kbhi dur ni honay daein gi kabhi ni.

Ragini got up with gungun in her arms she was about to go when she heard goons coming inside.

Ragini ran and hid behind a cupboard..

Goon: bachi yahan ni hain

Goon2: iska matlab uski maa ko bachi mil gai hai!

Ragini looked at gungun whose head was on ragini's shoulder, she held her more tightly..

Goon3: par humay toh order hain kai maa beti dono ko maar daina hai!

Ragini's eyes got bigger she was scared, she looked at gungun and placed her finger on her lips showing her not to make sound as if she would understand and gungun did understand. Both mother daughter were peeking through the cupboard with big eyes.

Goon4: chalo dhondhooo!!!

They went out...

And ragini came out with gungun in her arms sighing: humay jaldi ghar phonchna hoga.

She smiled at gungun who smiled back: papa apka wait kar rahay hain wo bohat khush hojaein gai .

She ran out and as the wind was blowing loud, gungun started to cry. The goons were near and they saw ragini..

Goon: woh rahi pakrooo

Ragini saw them and ran towards the jungle gungun was crying loudly.

The goon started to follow them..

Goon: Bachni nehi chahi hai! Pakdo Maa beti ko!!

They ran behind Ragini who was gone in the jungle with Gungun..

After a while..

Laksh with the Maheshwaris and the Gadodias came in the house behind the mandir.

Police was with them too..

Officer: Urvashi ne yehi jagah bataai hai, hope jaisa unho ne kaha vaisa kuch na ho.. hame dair na ho gai ho..

Laksh ran inside the house opening the door harshly: Ragini!!

But he is shattered as no one was there..

He scratched the back of his head while his eyes welled up..

Sharmishta covered her mouth with her hand crying..

All were shocked..

Officer: Mujhe lagta hai..

But before he could say anything Laksh grabbed his collar: Kuch nehi huwa hai meri Ragini aur meri beti ko! Kuch karo warna agar Ragini ko kuch bhi huwa.. to mein sab kuch jala doonga!! - he shouted!

Swara was stunned too.. when she saw Ragini's earing on the floor.. she picked it: Ragini ka earing?! Iska matlab voh yaha kahi aas paas hi hai!..

She looked at Laksh who looked at the earing..

Meanwhile..

Ragini was running and running as fastly as she could.. she could hear the goons shouting behind her...

Ragini hid behind a tree and hugged Gungun tightly shutting her eyes..

Ragini: wo log humay pakar laein gai... Hum kia karein..

She opened her eyes and saw some bushes, and cried.. She placed gungun on them and covered her with leaves..

Ragini: humay yeh karna hoga beta. I hope ap apnay papa tak phonch jao ghi..

She toof off the bangles Laksh gave her the previous day and placed them on gungun, she kissed her forehead..

Ragini touched her sindoor and imprinted it on gungun's forehead and got up running the other way

A goon saw her: Waha rehi! Pakdo usko!

The goons ran after her.

Laksh with police and family came in the jungle, he went aside while the others were looking for Ragini.. he felt so helpless that he couldnt find her wife and daughter..

He hit the tree with a fist and his hand started to bleed..

Just the opposite of the tree gungun was placed under the leaves..

Swara cried hugging sanskaar: meri behan kaha hai sanskaar uska kuch pata ku ni chal raha.

Gungun was shown sleeping under the leaves and laksh was standing with his hand on the tree..

'Paas hain dur hain

Kitnay majboor hain'

On the other side..

The goons reached Ragini and held her while she tried to free herself: Chodo hame!..

Goon1: Lekin yeh to sirf bacchi ki maa hai, beti nehi hai iske paas!

Another goon came to Ragini adn slapped her: Kaha chupa kar rakha hai apni beti ko?!!

Ragini kept looking down without saying anything..

Goon: Dekho! Voh vaise bhi nehi bacchne wali! Is iye bata do, varna..

Ragini didn't say a word..

Goon: Isey maar daalo, bacchi ko baad mai dhoondh le ghe!

Ragini shut her eyes as a goon pointed the gun on her..

She remember her and Swara hugging Sharmishta, Laksh filling her maang and Gungun's baby smile..

At the same time...

Laksh cried and suddenly shouted closing his eyes: RAGINIIIII TUM KAHAN HO!!!

With his voice Gungun opened her little eyes waking up.. she slowly made a crying expression and then bursted out crying..

Laksh opened his eyes as he heard the baby crying and his heart became still. Swara looked up from sanskar's arms..

Swara: yeh toh bachay ki ronay ki awaz hai..

The family looked around with the police...

Gungun stopped crying...

Laksh stood just few steps away from where she was placed.

Suddenly the sun rays hit the diamond bangles and reflected on laksh's face..

Laksh covered his face with an hand and then looked at the source with a closed eye..

He recalled Ragini's ring reflection coming on his face..

He went to the bushes and sat down to see ragini's bangles placed on the leaves..

Laksh: yeh toh ragini kai hain..

He held the bangles and at the same time gungun held his fingers, laksh was shocked..

'Yeh moh moh ke dhagay

Teri ungliyo sai ja uljhay'

He recalled Ragini hugging him..

Whole the family came there running..

Laksh brushed away the leaves to see a baby placed under it..

Swara covered her mouth with her hand stunned..

He looked at ragini's bangles again and understood, laksh with tears in his eyes saw the baby's forehead had a kumkum on it..

Laksh : Gungun..

Gungun started to cry again and laksh was still.

Swara came ahead and brought ahed her arms holding gungun... she admired the baby caressing her small cheek while her eyes welled up for happiness..

She was just an angel.. just like Swara's Ragini..

Swara hugging Gungun..

Swara: meri ragini ki gungun, dekho sanskaar gungun mil gai hai!

Sanskar put a hand around her shoulders looking at the baby smiling with teary eyes..

Annapurna held Dp's arm looking at him with happiness filled eyes: Hamari poti..

Dp nodded smiling.. aso his eyes were wet for happiness..

Parineeta hugged Adarsh: Gungun mil gai Adarsh Ji.. Gungun mil gai..

Sharmishta went to Swara and held the little hand of Gungun kissing it and sobbing happily..

Sujata joined her hands praying to God: Ganpati Bappa Ji ki kirpa se sab thik ho raha hai..

Everybody were too happy, but gungun was still crying . Laksh saw her ganpati pendant and remembered that day on the road he met his own daughter. Laksh stood up and took gungun from swara and as soon as she comes in his arms she stopped crying.

Laksh gave a little smile: awww mera - he stopped for a bit but then said - bacha..

He lookedbove shouting: ragini??????

The goon was about to pull the trigger..

A shot is heard..

Ragini looked on stunned as the goon fell on the ground holding his leg and hissing for pain..

A police officer, who was standing aside, brought down the gun..

Ragini was shockingly looking at the goon on the ground while the others were trying to run...

She looked ahed and saw her whole family with the police... she smiled..

Ragini looked around and saw Laksh standing with Gungun in his arms.. Ragini covered her mouth with his hand crying for happiness..

Laksh looked on too... his eyes met those of his Ragini..

"Meri saanson mai tu hai samaaya..

Mera jeevan to hai tera saaya..

Teri pooja karu mein to har dham.."

Laksh came towards Ragini who ran to her hugging him tightly..

"Yeh hai tere karam..

Kabhi khushi kabhi gham..

Na judaa honghe ham..

Kabhi khushi kabhi gham.."

Swara placed her head on Sanskar's shoulder smiling looking at them.. All were happy..

From one hand laksh was holding Gungung who was smiling, and from the other, he was hugging Ragini..

Ragini kept an hand on the back of Laksh and with the other cupped Gungun's little face and smiled..

The trio hugged...

Episode ends..
