Laksh stood up wiping his tears.. Swara and Sanskar got up too..

Swara was about to say something when..

Laksh in a painful tune: tumsay kia nafrat karon swara? Oh sorry mujhay lagta hai kai jab meri yaadein ni thi na jo rishta tab qaim howa tha na hum dono kai beech wohi best hai swara BHABHI.

Swara: laksh meri baat suno..

Laksh showed his hand to her to stop: aj mai bolu ga aur tum aur yeh sara parivaar sunay ga!

He went towards the stairs and turned towards the whole family: mein, Laksh Maheshwari, iss parivaar ka chota beta. Chota aur useless - he cried..

Sanskaar looked at his brother and held swara's hand..

Laksh: ap logo nai meray liye aek larki pasand ki theek kia. Par mujhay Laksh ke liye nehi, balkay Lucky ke liye koi chahi hai tha... Jabkai asli pehchan laksh hai, wo laksh jo zindagi apnay hisab sai jeena chahta hai aur iss baat keliye usko lucky ban ne ki zarorat to nehi thi, magar ap sabki waja sai mujhay lucky ban na para!

He pointed towards dp, who looked down, and everyone..

Annapurna shook her head covering her mouth with her hand and crying... Sujata put a hand on her shoulder crying too.. Parineeta placed her hand on the other shoulder of Annapurna and shutted her eyes..

Laksh: maine apki pasand ko thukraya bohat galat kia. Ragini ko thukraya. Maine kaha mujhy kisi aur sai shadi karni hai.. ap log maan gaye? Socha kai ragini bhi maan jaaye gi?

He shouted: PAR WO KYU MANTI? Pyar karti thi wo mujsy?

Laksh: usnay mujh tak phonchnay keliye galat rastay apnaye, kyu apnaye yeh toh hum sab jantay hi hain.

He looked at Sanskar who looked down..

Laksh: par jiski waja sai apnaye wo sudhar gaya aur aek jhatkay mai hum sab bhool bhi gaye. Par jo meray liye galat bani . galtian ap sabki zuban pai hamesha rahi... Mere sar pai junoon tha aur maine bhi galtian ki, bohat ki, par wo sab bhi bhula dii gai. Lekin ragini nai jo kia wo koi ni bhola..

Swara covered her mouth and cried loudly..

Laksh: ab kyu ro rai ho swara bhabhi? Jaan sai zada pyar karti ho apni behan sai janta hoon magar hamesha usay sawal karti ho uspai yakeen ni kia? Wo kehti rahi aek baar mera intezar karlo magar tumny usay ghar sai nikal dia? Bezat kia? Rulaya? Takleef dii?

Swara: I AM SORRY - she said loudly - BOHAT BURI BEHAN HOON MAI BOHAT BURI ...

Sanskaar: swara sabsay galtian hoti hain..

Laksh: wah bhai . Sabsay hoti hai toh ragini ki galtian bhi bhula daitay na? Kia yeh kafi ni hai usnay iss parivaar ko bachaya swara ko bachaya mujhay bachaya? Apni zindagi bhi almost gava dii thi? Tera sath dia bhai aek ni kai baar..

No one was able to say a word..

Annapurna came towards laksh and was about to touch him when laksh backed off..

Laksh: pyar karta hoon mai usay. Jis wakt yeh realise kia tha na kai mai hi bewakoof tha jo apni kismat sai apni takdeer sai bhag raha tha bs usi wakt sai dilo jaan sai chaha hai usay. Uss ragini ko jisay ap sabnay bexat kia . Aur aj.. – he sobbed – aaj meri ragini ko mein yaad bhi nehi hoon...

He broked down and bowed his head down shutting his eyes but then he looked at everyone gritting his teeth: agar ragini mujhsay dur chali gai na toh mai khud say dur chala jao ga isliye ap sab dua keejay kai meri ragini mujhay wapis mil jaye

He stood up and came towards swara: aur tumsay nafrat ni karsakta ku kai ragini apni bari behan sai bohat pyar karti hai bohat. Aur jisay wo pyar karti hai mai usay nafrat ni karsakta...

With that he ran out..

Later..

A taxi stopped out of Ragini's hostel..

Shekhar, who was sitting on front seat, ordered without even looking at Ragini, who was sitting on backseat with Dadi: Jaao, apna samaan pack karlo.. ham baadi jaa rahe hai.

Ragini: Papa.. voh kapre chat par hai.. ham.. ham.. 15 minutes mai pack.. – she was scared..

Shekhar straightly said: 15 minutes hai. Jaao.

Ragini looked down: Maaf kar dijiye Papa..

Shekhar: Suna nehi kya kaha?! Jaao abhi ke abhi aur jaldi vapas aao samaan le kr!

Ragini got out of the taxi crying and ran inside the hostel..

Shekhar took out his phone and called the pandit: Pandit ji, kall shaam ko larke walo ko ghar bulva di jiyega.. ham sagaai ke liye muhrat acha hai na?

Dadi looked at him..

When Shekhar cut the call she scolded him: Ya tu acha na kr ra hai Shekhar.. bohat bada paap hai!

Shekhar: Maa apni beti ki khushi chaana kis taraf se paap hai?

Dadi: shekhar tu achay sai janta hai laado laksh sai pyar karti hai, patni hai wa ki aur toh aur unka..

Shekhar cut her immediately: maa purani baatein mat dhorao.

MM

Sharmishta wiped swara's tears: Shona jaane ka waqt aa gaya hai.. hame Rago ko vapis laana hai..

Swara nodded and went to Sanskar.. she held his hand in both her hands and then looked at all: jana zarori hai magar iss baar lauton gi toh apni ragini kai sath lauton ghi.. – she looked at Sanskar back – Ragini ke liye ateet ko dhorana zaroori hai na..

Sanskaar smiled nodding: intezar karon ga..

They hugged each other.

Swara took her mangalsutra from her pocket and gave it to sanskaar putting it in his fist and then closing it.

Swara: suhag ki nishani apne suhag ko de rahi hu.. sambhal kr rakkhna..

Sanskar: hamesha apne paas rakhu ga..

Swara smiled a bit and then went to Annapurna.. she bowed down to touch her feet and Annapurna blessed her: Mujhe pura bharosa hai.. jab tum vapis aao ghi to hamari khushyaan, hamari Ragini ke sath hoghi.

Swara took blessings from Dp, Rp and Sujata too.

Sujata: chori vapas aana to dono behne sath honi chahi hai mein keh rahi hu! Is ghar ka sab kuch bikhar gaya hai.. Laksh bapis aa gaya.. abh to mujhe hamari Ragini bhi ghar mai chahi hai.. bas!

Swara smiled.. she was about to go away when..

Parineeta: Swara..

Swara turned around.. Parineeta joined her hands looking down: Hamari galtyoon ko sudharne ke liye tumhe itna sab kuch karna pad raha hai..

Swara went to her and put her hands on Parineeta's hands.. she shook her head smiling a bit and then went to Sharmishta...

Swara and Sharmishta held each other's hands and went out of the Maheshwari's Mansion..

Hostel Roof

Ragini came on the roof and cried uncontrollably breaking down recalling how shekhar slapped her twice.

Ragini: pata ni itna bura ku lag raha hai humay.

Laksh who was standing behind the wall saw ragini and raised his hand towards her to wipe her tears but then he made a fist and banged it in a wall: ab samjh mai aya kai bina yaadon kai bhi tum itni jaani pehchani ku lagti, tum say dil ka rishta hai jo na meray tornay pai toota na kisi aur kai..

A tear skipped through his eyes as he started to walk towards her, ragini saw him and stood up.. both were looking at each other's face.

Laksh took another step towards her..

'Tumko dekh kai

Yu lagta hai

Koi bichra khwab aya hai'

Ragini looked into his eyes which had tears in them and her eyes welled up again, she could feel his pain.

Laksh's eyes were stuck on her face, the emptiness and the void through this one year by staying apart was now filling up. He was in front of his life.

'Barso lambi raat sai guzray

Subah ka jhonka

Laut aya hai'

Laksh's heart beat raced more as he was coming more closer to her, ragini was unmoved his charm was weakening her and she didn't knew why. Laksh stood just an inch away from her and both if them can hear their heart beats. Laksh suddenly raised his hand and brought it closer yo her face, his hand was shaking, he touched her forehead and ragini closed her eyes with his touch

'Bohat dair jaagi

Bohat dur aai'

Laksh closed his eyes and tears skipped up, yet so close but helplessly too far from each other. Laksh made a fist of his other hand to control himself.

'Khwab nai na chori

Meri kalaiiiii'

Ragini opened her eyes to see his face too close to hers. She gulp down due to the closeness.

Both of their faces were heated up from crying. Silence were doing more than words.

Ragini: L ... Laksh

She called him

And the the next she know was him hugging her..

'Kabsay meri saans ruki thi

Mujhay saans aai'

Laksh hugged her too tight to dicover the distance of 1 and half year which they were apart. Laksh's hand touched her back and his tears fell on her back, ragini brought her hands up and she didn't knew why but she as doing as her heart said. She was about to hug him back but stopped

'Saans mai teri

Saans mili toh

Mujhay saans aai'

She moved back looking at his face while he cried like a little boy..

Laksh: you can't

She touched his cheek and he felt her touch as she wiped his tears which pained her. She shook her head and was about to speak when..

Shekhar:RAGINIIIIIIII NEECHAY AAOOOO.

He called her and ragini brought her trance of being weak . She moved back as laksh raised his hand towards her. She took her duppata from the wire and ran away..

Laksh: tum apnay laksh ko nahi bhool sakti ragini. You can't..

Later..

Shekhar with Ragini and Dadi and Sharmishta with Swara entered in baadi..

They stepped in the courtyard and then looked at each other..

But then they went towards their respective homes..

On the other hand..

Laksh returned to Maheshwari's Mansion.. he went to his room..

He stood in the middle and looked around.. Ragini's laughter echoed in his mind.. and her voice..

"Abh yeh hath ham kabhi nehi chode ghe"

"Aaj ham is duniya ke sabse khush insaan hai"

"Hame yehi zindaghi to chahi hai thi"

Laksh broke down on his knees and screamt: RAGINIIIIIIIII!!!

He cried loudly..

Someone put a hand on his shoulder.. he looked up and saw Sanskar standing in front of him..

Sanskar knelt down in front of him and Laksh immediately hugged him crying; Mein Ragini ke bina nehi jee sagta Bhai.. I need her! Meri zindaghi uske bina kuch nehi hai.. mein mar jau ga Ragini ke bina Bhai.. I just need her.. I just need her.. – he closed his eyes sobbing..

Sanskar tried to calm him down: jaise Laksh Ragini ke bina adhoora hai vaise Ragini Laksh ke bina adhoori hai.. voh vapis aaye ghi.. apne Laksh ke paas aaye ghi.. voh bhi tumse zyaada dair ke liye dur nehi reh sagti..

Laksh: voh aaye ghi bhai? – he asked like a child..

Sanskar: aana hoga usey.. aana hi hoga..

Laksh closed his eyes again.. he badly needed her to come back.. everything was nothing without her..

The next morning..

Swara got up hearing Sharmishta's voice singing aarti..

Sue went out and saw her doing aarti of the Tulsi in the courtyard of the baadi..

"Om jai jagdish hare..

Swami jai jagdish hare..

Bhagt jano ke sankat chashan mai dur kare.."

Swara recalled the old days when Sharmishta used to do like this every morning..

She smiled: Abh Ragini vapas aa gai hai to Maa ko bhi vapis aana hi tha..

Just then she saw Ragini coming out too with the thaali for pooja..

Ragini came near Sharmishta and did aarti with her..

"Maat pita tum mere..

charan gau mein kiske..

Swami charan gau mein kiske"

Sharmishta looked at her and smiled.. both together sang..

"Om jai jagdish hare.."

Ragini looked at Sharmishta with a smile..

Sharmishta got very happy and was about to touch Ragini's head when..

Shekhar: Ragini!!

Ragini turned around scared..

Shekhar: is aurat ke paas jaane ki koi zaroort nehi hai! Jaao college ke liye tayaar ho jaao!

Ragini: lekin Papa..

Shekhar: Abh to meri baat mat taalo!

Ragini cried and ran inside Gadodia's house..

Sharmishta looked down hurt controlling her tears..

Swara came beside her and put a hand on her shoulder.. she looked at Shrkhar : baba..

Shekhar: jab tak ragini ki zindagi ka faisla ni hojata mai iss rishtay ko ni manta..

Swara: usay kia hoga? Ap hi meray baba hain meri maa kai pati. Ragini aur mujhmai apka khoon hai. Iss baat ko ap manein ya na manein koi badal ni sakta. Aur dosri baat na ap maa sai ragini ko alag kar sakty hain aur na hi mujhsay meri behan ko

Shekhar glared at her and angrily went away..

At the same time Dadi came out.. she looked at Shekhar going inside the home and then at Swara and Sharmishta..

She shook her head and then went towards the two..

Sharmishta and Swara looked at Dadi and then both hugged her sideways while Dadi kept an hand on Swara's cheek and one on Sharmishta's..

Swara: Dadi i missed you!

Dadi: mare ko bhi tari bohat yaad aai.. lekin abh ham sab sath hai na.. khatusham ki kirpa se sab thik ho jayega..

She then looked at Sharmishta: Shekhar ki baaton ko zyaada dil pai mat laina.. Accident to Ragini aur Laksh ka hua tha lekin dimaag wa ka hil gaya.. lekin jaise Laksh abh thik ho gaya na, Ragini aur yeh bhi thik ho jayega..

She laughed lightly with Swara and Sharmishta who hugged her again..

After a while..

Ragini was about to go to college when Shekhar stopped her at the door and said: Shaam ko larke wale aa rahe hai.. same par vapas aa jaana..

Ragini felt her heart pinching and breaking down but she just nodded looking down..

She went out thinking: baba ko pura haq hai humari zindagi kai faislay lainay ka phir hum itnay dukhi ku hai. Ku humay shadi ki baat sunkai itni takleef hoi?

MM

Laksh wore a white jacket black T shirt and blue jeans.. he tied his brown band and looked into the mirror..

Laksh: tumhay yad ajaye ga ragini don't worry mai tumhay khud sai dur nahi janay du ga . Inhi kapro mai main pehli baar tumsay milnay tumhari academy aya tha. And you looked so cute, tabh bhi bhenji thi par ab meri ho.

He smiled with enthusiasm when swara called him..

Swara: laksh tum ready ho?

Laksh: haan aur tum?

Swara: mai bhi

Laksh: good academy mai miltay hain.

Laksh raised his collar : miss ragini gadodia oh sorry mrs ragini laksh maheshwari apky pati pareshwar apko lainay arahay hain. Maza aye ga jab tum phirse meray pyar mai paro gi.

He smiled..

Episode ends.

Precap: kis hadh tak jaye ga laksh ka pyar?

Jan nay keliye parhiye rahay gi sada yahan pyar ki woh dastaan
