Part E
Saying so she broke down and was about to fall when someone held her. She looked at that person to find Swara. Swara followed ragini as she was weak and knowing that the news of laksh will break her. So she followed her but got the shock of her life after hearing raginis prayer. She was about to protest but then a nurse came and informed them that laksh has woken up and is asking for ragini. Ragini wiped her tears out while swara was about to say something but was interrupted by ragini.
Ragini : no swara, i have made my decision.
Saying so she left to meet laksh for the last time leaving behind a confused Swara. She went behind ragini to help her walk after composing herself.
Ragini was standing beside laksh holding his hand smiling as he, even being a little unconscious he was looking for her. He was calling for her and no one else. She kissed him on the lips. While he murmured "i love you" which brought ragini to tears. She wiped them so that they don't fall in laksh.
Ragini : i love you too..
.
And always remember "just because we cannot be together, doesn't mean i will stop loving you. I will always love you."
She kissed his forehead and left leaving behind a a little conscious and confused laksh..
.

Everyone looked at ragini with hurt. She was staying away from the man she loves so that he can live. But suddenly arjun got furious he took fast steps towards ragini and held her shoulders tightly.
Arjun : are you in your right senses?
Are you freaking high on something?
Ragini : bhaiiii....
Arjun : you are going to ruin your life for such a petty thing.
Ragini : bhaii... Its not a petty thing. I made a promise to god and I cannot break it.
Arjun : what? Why?
Ragini : because it got me my love back. If staying away from him will keep him alive i am ready to do so. Better to know that he is somewhere living his than to know that he is no more.
Sanskar : and do you think that he is alive now.?
Ragini : at least he is breathing.
Sanskar : for the sake of you. He still lives in hope that one day you will return to him.
Ragini : and get him killed.
Voice : your absence is killing me bachha. Without you I die every day and that to for a thousand times.
Ragini : lakshhh...
She could not look at him and especially after knowing that he knows the truth. That she did this all for him. That she still loves him and always will.
Laksh came and held her hand and then made her turn towards him. He cupped her face
Laksh: with you i can face every situation. Together we can come over all the problems. But just don't marry him.
Arjun : yes ragu. Please.
Ragini : i can't. I don't want to.
She got herself out from lakshs hold.
Kavita : are you blind ragini? He is standing right here. Right in front of you.
Kavya: he is broken. He is miserable, can't you see.?
Sanskar : don't break him more that he gets hard to mend up.
Arjun : exactly, how can you leave him like this? Take a look at him. Don't you feel anything.?
Ragini : bhai!!!
What do you know about how i am feeling. How am i feeling knowing that i can never have the man who holds mt heart my soul. Do you think i am feel happy. Wearing this bridal dress, for the man I never felt for. Do you think that I am able to live with myself knowing that the man i love will and can never be mine. Do you think that i am happy!
She broke down completely and the three souls who were silent in all this process finally spoke up.
Swara : guys please leave her. Don't stress her more.
Purvi : yes arjun. Don't. Look at the poor soul she is already broken.
Arjun looked at her confused
Laksh : di is right. Don't stress her more just let her be.
He came towards ragini made her stand and gave her a forehead kiss.
Laksh : goodbye.
Ragini looked at him confused wasn't he going to fight for her. Wasn't he going to ask her to stay. She slapped herself mentally "this is what you wanted right?"
Laksh : i am tired of fighting for you. Tired of running behind you. I spent my whole year behind you, just so i can convince you to accept me. But it all went in vain. I wont come to you, not until you ask me to, you want me to. And until you fight for me.
Saying so he left while everyone kept looking at his retreating figure.
Everyone wiped out their tears and kept a straight face while ragini kept looking at laksh who cannot be seen any longer.
Ragini(murmuring) : i love you laksh.
Laksh (murmuring) : i love you ragini.
Arjun held raginis shoulder and nudged her to walk. While she looked at him sadly. He just smiled and nodded in no. To let everything go.
Ragini : i didn't know you liked Laksh so much! (smiling amidst her tears)
Arjun : i always did. The spark and happiness you have in your eyes when you are around him, makes me happy. Knowing that my sister is loved by someone, so much.
Ragini : i really love him bhai.
Arjun: then go get him. Think about it like that he is alive so that he can be with you. And that is why god has kept him alive.
Purvi: ya right. Like you always say, that you come in pair. "you want one, you take both".
Swara : and that is why he is alive, so that he can be with you. So that you both can complete each other. Maybe it was all written in the destiny.
Kavita : that you two have a happy ending with each other.
Ragini was now really confused, she wanted to run to laksh and kiss him and live with him forever but what about everyone here?
Arjun: don't worry about everyone, I'll handle them. Its about your life dont ruin it for someone else's happiness. And especially for the people who don't really matter.
Ragini now knew what to do. But..
Sanskar : and just so you know, there is a car waiting for you at the entrance. So you two can leave from here.
She smiled at everyone. They have reached the mandap. The priest was chanting and here raginis heartbeat was increasing. She got on the mandap and looked at everyone. There stood her family signing her to walk out and her friends telling her that they will help her.
She remembered her family telling her that they are ready to be the parents of "run away bride" her best friend telling her that she will be her run away partner in crime. Then she finally saw a distraught figured outside the door looking at her with tear filled eyes. He gave her a last look and left without saying anything.
She wanted him to take an objection, to stop this marriage. But why will he? She made herself pretty clear that she wasn't interested. But she also knew that if she wants she can have him back in her life as he will always wait for her. She took a deep and left out a heavy sigh on realising that they were asked to do rounds, her family and friends praying that she walks off.
