This story is gift for sami TAHA2020for her birthday 😁
The one which was on her wish list!
Sami guess which one!!

Based on a true incident..
Something might be offensive but be patient!
3 or 5 chapters!

Let's begin......

It was the Mehendi function of Ragini.
Girl was applying mehendi on her and some of ladies were singing and few were dancing celebrating the happiness.

Ragini sharma,a pharmacist.only daughter of janki.their dad left them when Ragini was born.her mom is deaf and dumb and her dad expected for a boy baby but when he found it was girl.so he left them.janki who was already depressed about her physical conditions.she covered herself in the corners of the home and Raman, janki's younger brother looked after them.they are a middle class family.

Ragini smiles at Raman when he saw her.he smiles back and walks out.he was pretty happy thinking that now there would be someone with Ragini always.
Someone places their hand on his shoulder.it was Ishita his wife.
Ishita:Raman...
He turns to her and smiles:Ragini looks so happy right!
Ishita nods with a smile.

Raman:if didi...
Ishita smiles:i spoke to her Raman.she would attend the function.
Raman looks at her not believing her words.lady who kept herself inside the 4 walls for 27 years...
Ishita:how can a mother not attend her daughter's wedding?
Raman smiles:Ragini would be so happy..
Ishita:let it be a surprise for her..

Just then his phone rings and he sees it was from the groom's brother.
Ishita:phir se?we have arranged everything according to them only then again?
Ram signs her to be silent then he picks the call.
Groom's brother:Hello Raman bhaai sahaab how's the function going on?

While on the other side Ragini smiles seeing Pawan written in her palm with big letters.
She adores it.
A lady:seeing the groom's name only our bride is blushing.
All teases her and Ragini blushed.
And they make her sit in the middle and dance around.
Ragini smiles.

Raman:Now..i cannot arrange for that huge amount!
Groom's brother:Think again bhai sahaab it's for your niece only.actually Pawan is settling in Bombay and it's a beautiful home and your niece would be happy there.don't think this a dowry but this is just a credit for sometime only Pawan will return you back.
Raman was sweating:but 5 lakhs..
Ishita nods in no.
Groom's brother: haan we have to pay in advance tomorrow only!

While Ragini shows her mehendi to Her mother.Who smiles and caresses her face and kisses forehead.
Ragini takes janki out of the room and everyone there just smiles.

Raman:but i am really sorry I can't arrange this huge amount for tomorrow.
Groom's brother:that you should have thought before fixing the relation with our family right. We have our standards.
Raman:okay.. i need sometime.
Groom's brother:you only have time till tomorrow. Day after is the wedding.
Raman:but please try to understand us also..
Groom's brother:it was been 6 month since the wedding is fixed and how much we have to understand?listen Raman ji whatever it is..it's for Your niece only!
Raman:in sometime i will call you back.
He disconnects the call.

Ishita: don't be an educated fool Raman,they are demanding the dowry in this way.at first they want gold coins for the bharaathi's and now this..each of the decorations and everything was according to them.even Ragini couldn't even have a freedom to buy her wish outfits and you are still bending.after all this you think Ragini would be happy after marriage?
Raman: it's nothing like that,nowadays it's normal.Pawan is a good guy!
Ishita:Raman this is wrong!
Raman:wait..is it because Ragini is my niece?my sister's daughter..she is nothing to you right!
Ishita looks at him in disbelief:you think about me like that?
Raman turns his face.
Ishita:Ragini was small when i came marrying you. I love her as my kids and you think about me like that?
Raman:i don't have time to listen to you this..
Ishita:okay I won't say anything. But one you would make Ragini to be drenched in her own tears. As you couldn't fix your sister's life what can i expect from you that you will fix your niece's life?
Raman storms out.

Ragini was standing in her room balcony over a video call with pawan.
Pawan:You are looking so pretty Ragini.
Ragini looks at Raman who sat inside the car and drove off.
She looks confused of what happened to Raman that suddenly..he seems to be in tension!

Pawan:Ragini where are you lost?
She smiles and nods in no:no where..so how's everyone at home?

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

While on the other side..
Avantika: what's this Sanskar?
She folds the clothes and takes the wet towel from the bed.

And Sanskar was combing the hair.
Avantika:you are grown up now don't be so childish now!
Sanskar:mom i am not childish but it happens in urgency.
Avantika nods her head:okay.
Sanskar moves and he returns in same speed and hugs her :love you mom.agar aap nahi hoti tho mera kya hota!
Avantika: don't you get tired by repeating the same dialogue everytime?
Harish entering inside:exactly.
Sanskar:okay i am getting late..i have to go pick your daughter and son-in-law or else your daughter will go mad.
Harish:khabardaar if you say one word against my daughter!
Sanskar:like you have only daughters!
Harish:Yeah..

Sanskar moves and pulls her from her plait of his sister uthra:come fast ...
Uthra winces:zombie!
Sanskar passes her a look:first look at yourself in mirror!

After sometime..

Sanskar returns with his elder sister Geet and brother-in-law Maan.
Talking for sometime all along with family.
Geet hits his arm:each time i come,i come with thought that at least this time hum ladki dekhne jayege.
Maan controls his laughter and she sees him:what?
Maan: actually it's not because you want to see your brother married but you have to show the attitude..
A girl interrupts:as a badi nanad.
Maan:exactly sami!
Sami,is the PG of their home.
Geet:shut up you both..
Sami:But Sanky bro what's the problem,my degree is coming to end so i thought at least before that i would see your marriage!

Sanskar: let's all of us see your marriage here at our home.
Sami was like 😒:i don't want to get married.
Geet:are you sure?
Sami:that doesn't mean that i am going for sanyas.i am so young now!
And all laughs.

Harish points sanskar:see your friend Ajith...he is having 2 kids.

Harish:oh then see vinay..he is having a daughter.
Sanskar:he got married when were studying itself.
Harish:what about Soham..?
Sanskar:that stupid was blinded with love.
Avantika:then Arijit!
Sanskar:mom you too..
Avantika smiles:because i feel i should see your wife now.
Sanskar:Arijit...was...
He was trying to search a reason..
Sami:he isn't elder either he married while studying neither he was blinded with love totally arranged marriage!
Sanskar:you know what husband and wife become meme material.highly wife rules on her husband.
Maan:agreed.
Geet:what agreed?
Maan:i was joking as he said joke!
Sanskar: actually wife is a meme material..

Sanskar:oh stop...but I won't marry until my this thought doesn't change am sure you don't want a world war in your house!
Uthra:but bhaiyya dad told me that he will design my dress for your wedding with sabyasachi.
Harish scratch his forehead as he just lied and uthra just staying on one word!
Sanskar hits her head: Sabyasachi...as if you are the daughter of Ambani.
Uthra:Dad!!
Harish:you will get sabyasachi dress only..
Sami bending to him:how uncle?
Harish mutters:i am praying sanskar doesn't marry only not until uthra forgets it!
Sami:haww!!
Avantika who heard him hits on his arm: Harish!
Harish smiles sheepishly!

Sanskar:and calm down all of you.do you all believe in fate?
All looks at him and nods.
Sanskar: it would happen when written on it's own!
Geet:do you eat food?
Sanskar:what type of question is this?
Geet imitates him:what type of question is this?to eat food if you keep on fate food won't land in front of you for that you should cook!
Sanskar smiles:why cooking?order on zomato!
Geet:crack piece
Sami:Then order something on zomato now i am already starving!
Sanskar:bhooki kahin ki!

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

Raman enquires with the bank to arrange the amount but he couldn't since he already had the Loans in his name which he took to arrange for the wedding.

While on the other side..
Ragini realises the Ishita was not in mood.she wasn't smiling at all.
She takes Ishita inside the room.
Ragini:what happened mami?
Ishita smiles:what?
Ragini:mamu was..i mean i saw him did something happen?
Ishita:nothing like that..you know there's few arrangements..

Raman calls pawan's brother:is it okay if i arrange after some days.
Pawan's brother:no..i mean we have to give advance.
Raman:but..
Pawan's brother:so you doubt us..i told you it's for your niece only and you have to arrange it.you know Pawan have got many good relations but i don't him to feel regretted so i hope you understand already one side of Ragini's background...her father's story so still we accepted.i know that you have looked for many relation for your niece and for this reason one relation also didn't fix and if you couldn't help us with this much i am sorry to say..but..
Raman:no no...i would..try..
Pawan:no trying but you have or else....

Raman was tensed and he couldn't control with tears he moved and he tried to contact all of his family and friends for help. Not realising that it was wrong, his niece would never be happy with such a relation.

And nobody helped him with the amount..
And he had now only hope with a person who could help him with the amount...
He dials a number with a heavy heart as he never did something like this but for Ragini he wanted to do it.

While on the other side..
Sanskar's phone rings.
Sami sees the phone:Sanky bro.. some "Raman bhaai" is calling you.
Sanskar:oh shit.. today it was his niece wedding.
Geet:go go attend everyone's wedding.
Sanskar signs her to be silent and picks the call:Sorry bhaai actually didi and jiju were coming today so I couldn't attend..
Raman:Sanskar...
Sanskar:what happened, everything fine?
Raman: don't take me wrong..
Sanskar:wait let's meet and talk..i feel you are not fine.tell me where are you i will come!

To be continued.......

So how's it?
