Chapter 10
14 days after Rajat's truth came out
In SwaSan's room..
Swe was sitting in Sanskar's lap on the bed and both were looking to a frame which Sanskar was holding..
Swe: Dad.. Asli Mom ko yeh wedding gift pasand aayega na?
Dad: uski beti ne diya hai to zaroor aayega... let's check once again agar sab special log isme hai..
Swe nodded smiling and looked at the frame again.. it was a picture of all the Maheshwari's and Gadodia's: Dadi Maa, Dada ji, Nani Maa, Nana Ji – he indicated everyone and then happily came Ragini and Laksh – Mom Dad! – he then indicated Sanskar and Swara – Asli Mom Dad!... and mein aur Raksha bhi hai!!
Sanskar: hmm.. abh ham aapki asli Mom ko shaadi mai yehi de ghe.. is liye jaldi se chupalo!..
Just then Swara came in the room: kya chupana hai?
Swe immediately moved the frame behind her back: kuch nehi asli Mom..
Sanskar: Haan.. ham kya chupaye ghe?.. aur kyu?
Swara crossed her arms: really? To Swe apne pishey kya chupa rahi hai?..
Swe and Sanskar looked at each other gulping...
Swe slowly stood up and started to walk towards Swara: Asli Mom.. voh kya hai na... mein aur Papa ek cheez chupa rahe hai..
Swara: vohi to puch rahi hu.. kya?
Swe: voh... - she stood in front of Swara and after some seconds shouted – mein nehi batau ghi!!
And she ran away laughing taking the frame merged to her chest..
Sanskar: Arey Swe!..
Swara looked at him: kya kha kr badi hui hai haan?..
She then ran behind Swe laughing too and shouting: Beta batana to padega!
Swe kept running laughing in her childish way and holding tightly the frame and Swara was behind her..
Swara: Swe kab tak bhaago ghi!
Swe: Asli Mom aap zid mat karo.. mein nehi dikhau ghi!
They were running when suddenly Swe slipped and fell on the floor... the frame fell with her and its glass broke in many pieces..
Swara: Swe!!
She was about to go to her when Raksha came there running and knelt near her: Swe! Tum thik ho na?
Swe was sobbing..
Raksha: Swe tum ro kyu rehi ho? Chot laghi?
Swe showed her arm which was scratched crying a little..
Raksha: Tum mat ro.. ham Dadi Maa ke paas jaaye ghe.. voh tumara first aid karey ghi aur phir chot jaldi se thik ho jaye ghi!..
Swara was staring at them while Raksha helped Swe to stand up and put Swe's arm around her neck to give her support while walking..
Swara: kitni pyaari hai dono..
A voice said: bilkul Swaragini ki tarah..
Swara turned to see a smiling Ragini in front of her..
Ragini came near Swara while looking at Raksha and Swe: dono jitni bhi alag ho.. ek dusre se bohat pyaar karti hai.. kabhi sath mai larti hai.. kabhi sath mai hasti hai.. kabhi sath mai roti hai..
Swara: ham bhi hamesha aise hi sath mai sab karte the.. alag lekin sath mai.. jaise tum traditional sitar bhajati thi aur mein modern guitar.. dono kitne alag hai lekin ham sitar ke rag aur guitar kai sur mila daite the...
She looked at Ragini and a smile appeared on their faces..
Ragini: ham abhi sab ready krte hai!
She ran towards her room.. Swara was about to follow her when she saw the broken frame on the floor... she went towards it and bent down to Pick it up: oh.. to yeh chupa rahe the dad and beti.. – she chuckled and then called a servent..
The servent came..
Swara: yeh saaf kr ke ek nae frame mai photo daal daina...
And with this she went behind Ragini..
Meanwhile..
Annapurna was doing the first aid of Swe while she was still sobbing a bit..
Annapurna: kitni chot lag gai mere bacche ko..
Raksha, who was standing near Swe: par Swe bohat strong hai.. itni si chot se nehi darti.. hai na Swe?
Swe nodded while wiping her tears..
Suddenly the sound of a sitar is heard.. followed by the one of a guitar..
Raksha and Swe looked at each other..
An angelic voice is heard with the sitar..
"Sa ni ma ga
Ga re ni sa..
Aa .. aa. .
Aa.."
Another voice followed it with the guitar..
"Ni sa.. ni sa..
Sa ni da pa ma..
Ma pa da.. ni sa..
Ni sa.. ni sa.."
Raksha and Swe ran out of the room..
Annapurna smiled shaking her head..
Raksha and Swe came downstairs where Ragini and Swara were playing the sitar and guitar..
Raksha ran to sat in Ragini's lap while Swe went to hold the guitar with Swara..
Swara played her guitar kneeling in front of Swe.. Swe looked at her with lots of attention..
Ragini played the sitar smiling to the little Raksha who was staring at how Ragini was moving her hand sitting in her lap..
Swara passed the guitar to Swe who played it... and then Ragini did the same with Raksha...
Both Swaragini were teaching how to play the instruments to their daughter when Sanskar and Laksh came there clapping..
They stopped and looked at them..
Swe ran to Sanskar: Dad dad mene guitar play kiya!!
Raksha went to Laksh: aur Papa mene sitar bhajaya!
Laksh: yeh to bohat ashi baat hai! Celebration to banti hai na?..
Sanskar: So what about ice Cream party?!
Both Raksha and Swe shouted: Yayy!!
Laksh: chalo phir.. ice Cream parlor mai chaltey hai.. dair kis baat ki?
Raksha and Swe ran upstairs happily..
Sanskar: Tum dono bhi ready ho jaao jaldi se..
Ragini: nehi Sanskar.. aap bacchon kai sath jaaye... hamare liye ghar hi le aana.. mann nehi hai bahar jaane ka..
Swara: Haan.. mere liye bhi yaha hi le aana..
Sanskar and Laksh looked at each other and then sighed.. they shouted together: Lazy girls!!
And with this they ran upstairs too laughing and exchanging an hi5 while both Swara and Ragini threw some pillows on them from behind..
Later..
In SwaSan room..
Swara was sitting on the bed thinking about something when Sanskar came inside and put in front of her a cup of ice cream..
Swara looked on..
Sanskar: your favourite vanilla ice cream!...
Swara took it with a bitter smile..
Sanskar: Tumhe pata hai Swe ki bhi favourite ice cream vanilla hai!
Swara smiled looking down: mujhe kaise pata hoga.. itne saaloon ki yaadein mene khoi hai.. Swe ke liye mein uski Asli Mom to hu.. lekin usey Maa ka pyaar to Ragini ne hi diya hai na?... kya kabhi Swe mujhse utna hi pyaar kar paaye ghi jitna voh Ragini se karti hai?..
Sanskar looked down: I am sorry... meri vajah se..
Swara covered his mouth with a hand... he looked at her... she shook her head: Rajat ki vajah se.. halatoon ki vajah se.. tumari koi galti nehi hai..
Swara removed her hand from his mouth and Sanskar hugged her from side: Tumne Swe ki bohat yaadein khoi hai.. Haan.. par ham uske sath.. Raksha ke sath... itni masti karey ghe na ki aur bhi zyaada yaadein ham banaye ghe.. and about her likes and dislikes.. to voh puri apni Asli Mom par gai hai... bohat cute hai.. and bohat zyaada stubborn!
Swara broke the hug raising the cup of ice cream and was about to hit him when Sanskar covered himself with hands and said: pillow nehi hai! Chot lag jaye ghi!..
Swara looked at him... and then started to laugh..
Sanskar stared at her with a smile: aisi hi raho.. ashi lagti ho..
Swara hugged him: Kall hamari shaadi hai.. sab thik ho jayega na.. ham phirse ek ho jaye ghe.. hamesha ke liye..
Sanskar: sab thik ho jayega.. sab..
On the other side... in RagLak room..
Ragini was putting some clothes in the wardrobe hummering "moh moh ke dhaaghey": ... tu hoga zara pagal jo mujhko hai chuna.. kaise tumne ankaha.. ankaha sab suna..
Suddenly Laksh came there and hugged her from behind.. He put his chin on her shoulder and whishpered coming closer to her ear: Pagal to hu.. tumare pyaar mai..
Ragini closed her eyes and turned... she merged her head with Laksh's forehead..
Laksh closed his eyes too: you know Ragini... kabhi kabhi zindaghi mai aise chote chote pal aate hai jisme zindaghi tham jaati hai.. aur jeene ka ehsaas hota hai..
Ragini smiled: puri zindaghi aise hi bitaye ghe to..
Laksh: to?..
Ragini: to hamari ice cream pigal jaye ghi..
Laksh opened her eyes as Ragini started to laugh recomposing and running to take her ice cream cup which Laksh left on the bed..
Laksh: this is not done! Mein badla loonga!
Ragini looked at her ice cream with a sad cute expression: already le to liya.. yeh kya Laksh.. only one flavour?.. at least 2 to hone chahi hai the..
Laksh sat near her and put a hand on her cheek: aww mera baccha... bohat asha kiya mene!..
Just then Raksha came in the room: Mama Papa hamesha aisa hi kartey hai.. hamare liye bhi only one flavour order kiya tha..
Ragini: asha? Koi baat nehi baby.. yaha aao ham ice cream share karey ghe!
Raksha happily went to her and sat in her lap... Ragini started to feed her with ice cream while taking one spoon after her..
Laksh: Haan Haan.. share karo ice cream.. aur ho jaao apni Mama jaise moti.. dekhna dono hi Maa Beti kaise phull jaye ghi!
Ragini and Raksha looked at each other and then both turned to Laksh with an angry expression..
Ragini held Laksh's hand and put the empty cup of ice cream on it.. then she held Raksha's hand and both went to the washroom locking themselves..
Raksha shouted from inside: Agar ham aapko itne hi mote lagte hai to raho akele!
Ragini: Haan! Aur agar koi puchey to bolna ki Maa Beti ko gaali di thi!
Laksh stood up and went to stand in front of the locked door of the washroom: what? lekin mene gaali kab di?!
Raksha from inside: Aapne hame moti bola!
Laksh knocked at the door: Baby ho gai Papa se galti.. sorry na... Ragini tum to Bacchi mat bano!
Inside the washroom, Raksha and Ragini crossed their arms making a face..
Laksh kept the hand on the door: Sweerhearts please maaf kardo.. aaghey se pakka kuch nehi bolu ga..
Ragini and Raksha looked at each other..
Laksh: Sweethearts please... sorry..
Ragini opened the door of the washroom still with a serious expression followed by Raksha..
Ragini: sorry se kaam nehi chaley ga..
Laksh raised an eyebrow..
Ragini and Raksha went slowly near the bed and took a pillow respectively... then went near Laksh and suddenly both started to hit him..
Laksh tried to cover himself with hands: Arey this is not fair! Dono mere pishey pad gaye!..
Ragini and Raksha kept hitting him laughing when Laksh tried to ran on the bed... but Ragini and Raksha got on the bed too..
Laksh: bas bas bas! Promise aaghey se aisa kuch nehi bolu ga!
Ragini and Raksha looked at each other... and then slowly a smile appeared on their faces.. they put down the pillows and both lied near Laksh ... Ragini placed her head on his right arm while Raksha on the left one and he hugged both of them: my queen and my princess..
Raksha&Ragini: our king..
The three slowly closed their eyes..
The next day..
It was SwaSan wedding day..
In SwaSan room Ragini was making Swara ready...
She put the red dupatta on Swara's head..
Ragini: yad hai aek baar tumnay humay dulhan kai joray mai sajaya tha aur aj wo mauka humay mila hai. Iss baar jo tum dulhan bano ghi toh har uss khushi ko jiyo ghi jo tumnay ni ji..
Swara stood up and turned to her: meri sabsay bari khushi meri behan hai mera parivaar hai. Itnay saalo baad tumhay paya tha ragini phir juda hogye aur ab phir mil gaye. Swaragini toh hamesha sath thay hain aur rahein gai..
Ragini hugged Swara with teary eyes: Hamne tumhe bohat miss kiya in 6 saaloon mai... phirse aisa kabhi mat karna... ham tumare bina nehi reh sagtey... tum, Laksh, Swe, Raksha, yeh parivaar hi to mera sab kuch ho..
Swara closed her eyes: Arey pagli... mein kahi nehi jaane wali aur tum bhi nehi... abh to hamesha ham sath hi rahe ghe!
Just then Swe and Raksha came there... both were wearing a red lehenga with a green pallu matching to Ragini's saree..
Swe: Asli Mom jaldi karo... Dad wait kar rahe hai!..
She held Swara and Ragini's hand while Raksha grabbed Ragini's too and the four went out of the room..
They came downstairs where all the Gadodias and the Maheshwaris were gathered around the mandap..
Sanskar was already sat on the mandap... he looked at his bride coming downstairs..
Raksha and Swe made Swara sit near Sanskar while Ragini went to stand beside Laksh..
The rituals of the wedding started..
Pandit: Abh var vadu pheroon ke liye khadey ho jaaye..
Swara and Sanskar stood up..
While they were taking the 7 vows all were showering flowers on them... also Raksha and Swe were happily throwing the petals..
Ragini and Laksh looked at each other smiling and then turned to shower flowers on Swara and Sanskar again..
After the 7 vows, Sanskar and Swara sat down again..
Pandit ji: Aaj se aap dono pati patni... vadu ki maang bhar kr aur mangalsutra pehna kr shaadi sampuran ki jiye..
Annapurna gave sindur's box to Sanskar who took a chutki of it and filled Swara's maang..
Ragini looked at Laksh who was happily witnessing the wedding... she placed her head on his shoulder: ap iss tran hastY howay hi achay lagtay hain. Apki hasi ko dekhtay hain na toh dunia kai sabsay khushnaeeb insan banjatay hain hum...
Laksh looked at her... they share an eyelock..
Later... in the kitchen..
Someone, whose only back is showed, came inside from the window and took out a packet of powder from his pocket.. he added the powder to two glasses of milkshake in front of him..
On the other hand..
Parineeta received a message from Rajat.. she read it: "Bhabhi come in the parking area right now."
Parineeta: abh isko kya musibat hai!..
She looked at Swara&Sanskar taking blessing from elders.. she slowly went out of the house without anyone to notice her..
In the parking area..
Parineeta went to Rajat: kya hai?
Rajat: parineeta bhabhi apnay kuch socha kai meri iss ghar mai wapisi kaisay ho gi?
Parineeta: uttara toh baat ki toh hai par itna asan ni hai humnay swara ko dur rakha tha wo bhi chai saal. Kuch wakt toh lagay ga. Aur swara maan bhi jaye magar ragini ni manay gi uski bari behan ko dukh phonchaya uski bachiyo ko kidnap kia. Wo itni asani sai ni manay gi. Swara kai balidaan apny pyar ko laiky hotay hain hamesha sai magar ragini kai balidaan apny parivaar ko laiky hotay hai toh wakt lagay ga.
Rajat shouted madly: kitna wakt???
Meanwhile.. inside the MM..
Uttara: jaldi Sab yaha aa jao! Family photo time!!
Swe: Yayy! Asli Mom Dad... aap sath mai khade hoghe...
Raksha stood between Ragini and Laksh holding their hands and made them stand near Swe, who was next to SwaSan... Ragini put her hand on the back of both Swe and Raksha... Laksh noticed it and put his hand on the one Ragini kept on Raksha's back.. she looked at him who smiled..
Outside..
Parineeta: mujhay thora wakt doo mai kuch karti hoon
Rajat: apsay kuch ni hoga bhabhi ji. Mai sarko pai khwar horaha hoon aur maheshwari parivaar khushiyo mai jhoomay ga? Wo dono behnein chain ki saans laein gi? Aisa mujhy manzoor nehi!
Parineeta a bit tensed: matlab kia hai? Kia kiya hai tumnay?
Rajat: wo rakhsha aur swe ragini ki jaan hai na? Akhir pala hai usnay dono ko. Behen ki bachi ko apni bachi sai zada mamta dii mohabaat dii. Aur ragini swara ki jaan hai toh bas aek teer sai bohat nishanay laga diye hain maine...
Parineeta: saaf saaf bolo?
Rajat evilly smiled..
On the other side...
Ragini and Swara brought 2 glasses of milkshake to Swe and Raksha..
Ragini: and here is Swe's favourite mango milkshake!
Swara forwarded one to Swe and Ragini to Raksha but Raksha didnt hold it: Mama hame nehi peena..
Swe, who was about to have it, stopped: Mom agar Raksha nehi piye ghi to I wont too.. – she gave it back to Swara..
Ragini knelt near Raksha; Baby aap to Mama ki jaan ho.. aap Mama ki baat nehi maano ghi? Swe apki bari behan hai na toh bari behn toh maa saman hoti hai na bas usky liye peelo..
Laksh: ragini nehi peena toh kyu force kar rahi ho?..
Annapurna and Dp came there and took the glasses from Ragini and Swara..
Annapurna knelt near Raksha while Dp went to Swe..
Annapurna: hamari Raksha kyu nehi leghi milkshake... usko to pata hai ki Swe ka favourite hai aur Swe ke liye itna to kar sagti hai.. meri Raksha bohat samjhdar hai usko force karney ki zaroort nehi hai... voh khud peele gli!
Dp: Haan aur Swe ka to favourite hai hi! Kyu beta? Hamari bacchyaan bado ki baat nehi taalti.. voh apni Dada Dadi ke liye piye ghi... hai na?..
Annapurna and Dp made Raksha and Swe have the milkshake..
Swara to ragini: mai shaid swe ko aisa kabhi na bna paati jaisa tumnay bnaya hai. Manti hoon wo zidi hai batameez bhi hai, magar uska dil bohat saaf hai bilku tumhari tran ehsaa hojata hai na toh foran dosro ka sochti hai. Inn chai saalo mai jo jo pal maine swe kai sath khoye hn wo sab jeena chahti hoo. Jo tumnay kiya hai wo sab kaha karpatay hn. Raksha ko sideline karkai swe ko pyar diya..
Ragini: swe mai humay hamesha tum dikhi swara. Tumsai juri koi bhi cheez humara liye bohat khaas hai. Akhir bari behan ho humari. Maa ki tran sambhala danta sath rahi. Swe toh phir bhi tumhari bachi thi. Aur hum swe aur raksha sai aek hi jitna pyar kartay hain...
Swara: tum dekhna ab mai raksha ko kitna bigarti hoon!
Here...
Parineeta: tum pagal hogye ho?? Mai swara aur ragini ko tarpana chahti thi manti hoon . Swe aur rakhsha ko kidnap bhi isiliye kiya tha takay tumhay paisay milay aur ragini tarpai magar kisi ki jaan laina? Aur wo bhi choti si massoom bachiyan? Tum unky milkshake mai zehar kaisay mila saktay ho?
Patineeta shouted..
Rajat: bhabhi yeh natak band keejay!
Parineeta pushed rajat and ran inside.. where..
Raksha and Swe had started to cough a lot..
A tensed Ragini stepped towards them: Swe! Raksha! – she went near them and patted on their backs kneeling down – kya hua bacchoon?.. itni khansi kyu aa rahi hai..
Swara knelt near the two too but assured Ragini: Ragini tension mat lo.. kuch nehi hai..
Ragini got up and went to hold a jug of water when Parineeta ran inside huffing as she ran a lot..
"RAGINI WO MILKSHAKE BACHO KO MAT DAINA. Usmai.... USMAY RAJAT NAI ZEHAR MILAYA HAI"
Everyone got shocked..
Ragini faltered a bit and the jug fell off from her hand...
Swara looked at the kids..
Ragini had a flash of Annapurna and Dp making Raksha and Swe drink the milkshake..
"Mama mujhy ni peena"
"Mom agar raksha ni piye ki toh i wont too"
Both rakswe voices echoed in her ears.
Rakswe got up from chairs calling together..
'Mama'
'Mom'
Their breathing got slow and both collapsed on the floor...
Everyone except Ragini who wasnt able to move, rushed around them.
Swara: sanskaar kuch karo . Doctor ko bulao? Meri beti... Raksha beta utho.
Laksh: rakshu baby . My sweetheart .. Baby papa ki baat suno. Swe ... Swe utho dad ki awaz suno!
Swara looked back at Ragini who was still at her place.
Adarsh: inki saansein ruk chuki hain..
Swara shook her head and shouts: NAHINNNNNNNN
Laksh: raksha? Swe?
He called out..
Sanskaar: swe i know dad have been so bad apko kabhi time ni diya apsay kabhi theek sai baat ni ki but ab apli real mom agai hai na uthoo bacha.. We will play ap jis cheez pai hath rakho gi ill give you...
Parineeta hid her face in Adarsh's chest: Ham bohat late ho gaye... Adarsh ham.. – she sobbed..
Sharmishta almost fell down... Shekhar supported her..
Dadi was shattered... she covered her mouth with both of her hands: He mera Khatushaam Ji..
Sujata: Yeh na ho saghe... yeh koi bura Sapna hai.. nehi yeh na ho saghe.. – she covered her ears shaking her head..
Annapurna: He Bhagwan.. yeh mere hathoon konsa paap karva diya..
Dp, Rp Uttara, Adarsh... everyone were crying..
Ragini came towards them sitting on the floor..
With tears welling up in her eyes but not falling, she touched raksha's hair and looked at her closed eyes...
She touched Swe's cheeks.. .
Ragini: shhhhh meri betiyan soo rai hain. Ap toh jantay hain na laksh kitni mushkil sai soti hain yeh.
Ragini: Swara swe ko bas meri lori hi pasand ati hai
Swara sobbing: ragini swe raksha dono humay chor kai chali gai hain..
Ragini shook her head taking both raksha and swe in her arms hugging them tightly thats when a tear fall off from her eyes...
Ragini: meri raksha , swe.... Utho na beta mama ko tung mat karo. Swe mom bol rai hain wo naraz hojanay wali hain..
She cried..
Ragini: khelien gi bhi ni..
Ragini cried loudly realising that both her daughters have gone.
She placed raksha down as lightly as she could and laksh held raksha while she was still hugging swe tightly and crying...
ONE DAY LATER
GRAVEYARD
Everyone are crying loudly wearing White clothes...
Two graves are open. And raksha and swe are on stretcher covered with white clothes ..
Laksh was kneeling near them lifeless..
Swara is on her knees crying loudly and Sharmishta is hugging her.
Swara: mujhay toh kuch din naseeb bhi nk howay apni beti kai sath maa.. Main raksha kai sath bhi khel ni pai.
Sanskaar looked at other side and cries..
Ragini came with two dolls in her hands and went to Rakswe... she placed a doll near Swe and kissed her forehead..
Laksh looked on..
Ragini: swe baby mom hamesha apky sath hain darna mat baby apko kuch ni hoga ap aek achi jaga ja rai ho.
Ragini turned towards Raksha but before she could place her doll Laksh grabbed her hand..
Laksh recalled all the time Swe hurted Raksha and Ragini took Swe's side... how Ragini slapped Raksha when Swe was crying saying that Raksha broke her toy... how Ragini stood with Swe when she tore Raksha's marksheet..
Laksh looking down: swe ko doll dai dii na.. Hogya farz pora aek maa ka ab chali jao yahan sai...
Ragini: laksh?
Laksh looked at her: mein tumhari shakal ni dekhna chahta! Kaisi maa ho tum? Kaisi? Raksha ny itna kaha kai usko wo milkshake ni peena magar ku kai swe ko pasand hai tumnay usko pilwaya. Zabardasti!!
He shouted..
Ragini was shocked ..
Laksh: agr tum zabardasti na karti toh meri beti meray paas hoti! – he tighted the Grip on her wrist..
Ragini: laksh wo humari betiyan hain. Hum dono ki..
Laksh: nehi ragini nehi.. . Masoom raksha kai bachpan kai chai saal tumnay swe ki zidd mai bita diye. Swe sanskaar aur swara ki beti hai. Tum aek achi maa nehi ho ragini. Isliye tumhay koi haq ni banta yahan rehnay ka. Kam se kam aj kai din toh fark na karti.. apni beti ko pehlay wakt daiti..
He started to drag Ragini upstairs while all stood up looking at them... Ragini was just looking back at Raksha who was lying beside Swe..
Swara ran to Laksh: Laksh! Yeh kya kar rahe ho?!
She tried to free Ragini's hand from Laksh's grab... but no use... he slightly pushed Swara away and took Ragini out of the door..
Ragini: laksh humay aek baar. Bs aek baar apni raksha ko toh dekhnay deejay!
Without listening her, he pushed her out of the Maheshwari's Mansion gate..
Laksh: mein tumhari shakal bhi ni dekhna chahta!
He closed the gate on Ragini's face..
Swara came there running and shouted: laksh kia kar rahy ho darwaza kholo!!
Laksh: dont interfere swara!..
He straightly looked at Ragini standing behind the bars of the gate...
Later..
The wind was blowing hard... the sky was full of dark clouds as a big storm was about to come...
Ragini was walking lifeless in the highway shattered..
"Kise poochu..
Hai aisa kyu?
Bejubaan saa ye jahaan hai.."
Ragini stopped as she saw a man and a woman helping their daughters to come out from the bus.. She sobbed recalling Swe and Raksha kissing her cheeks before going on the school bus..
"Khushi ke pal
Kahaan dhoondu?
Benishaan sa waqt bhi yahaan hai.."
The smile among her tears, appeared recalling Rakswe, disappeared as Laksh's voice echoed in her mind: "Mein tumari shakal bhi nehi dekhna chahta!"
"Jaane kitne labon pe gile hain
Zindagi se kayi faasle hain.."
Flashes of Raksha and Swe collapsing on the floor... of their closed eyes... followed by Laksh throwing her out of the house.. came in front of her..
"Paseejte hai sapne kyun aankhon mein
Lakeere jab chhoote inn haathon se yun bewajah.."
She broke down falling on her knees lifeless and let out a loud crie that the wind made echo in the air..
"Jo bheji thi dua
Woh jaake aasmaan se yun takra gayi
Ki aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa.."
She slowly looked at the sky as Swe and Raksha's smiling faces appeared on it... she looked down helpless... when she felt two little hands wiping her silent tears... she looked on to see Raksha standing in front of her: Mama mat ro na... ham aapko aise nehi dekh sagtey...
Ragini smiled still crying and raised a hand to touch Raksha... when she disappeared... and with her also Ragini's smile..
"Saanson ne kahaan rukh mod liya
Koi raah nazar mein naa aaye.."
Just then two little hands covered her eyes... she turned and saw Swe angrily looking at her: chup Mom! Aap roe ghe to sab boley ghe ki Swe ki Mom rondu hai! And you know Mom... I can't see you crying!
Ragini nodded and moved to hug her... when she also left..
"Dhadkan ne kahaan dil chhod diya
Kahaan chhode in jismon ne saaye.."
Ragini's lips trembled... she looked down.. her eyes went on the doll she was still holding..
"Yehi baar baar sochta hoon tanha main yahaan..
Mere saath-saath chal raha hai yaadon ka dhuaan.."
Ragini hugged the doll tightly crying her heart out..
"Jo bheji thi duaa
Woh jaake aasmaan se yun takra gayi
Ki aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa..."
Meanwhile..
Swara shouted: Nehi Laksh nehi! You can't understand! Bohat himmat chahi hai kisi aur ke bacchey ko apne khoon se pehle rakkhne ki! ... Raksha swe ki marnay ka kasoor rajat hai meri behan ni! Aray maine toh bas janam diya tha swe ko. Ragini nai pala hai. Maine aek beti khoi hai aur usnay doo betiyan khoi hain tum aisay kaisay karsakty ho laksh! Uske gham mai uska sath dene ki bhajaye tumne usey bheghar kar diya...
Laksh closed her eyes while tears fell down.. he fell on his knees: Mujhe nehi pata mujhe kya ho gaya... mujhe bas meri beti ki band aankhein nazar aai... mujhe nehi pata... nehi pata..
Swara knelt near him and put a hand on his shoulder: Bring her back home... she needs you..
Laksh looked at her: kaise... kis mu se..
Swara gave him the phone: Try once... she will understand..
Laksh took it and wiped his tears.. he called Ragini...
Here Ragini received the call and without even looking at the phone she picked it up, still sitting on the highway..
Laksh with the phone on speaker: Ragini?..
Hearing his voice Ragini immediately spoke: Laksh... Laksh hame maaf kardo.. please Laksh... ham bure nehi the Laksh... halaat bure the.. please Laksh..
Laksh: Ragini mein jaanta hu... and I am sorry... mein tumhe samjh nehi paaya.. but you know na Ragini... I love you..
Swara smiled with teary eyes..
Ragini said in a breath: I love you too..
Laksh stood up: Ragini tum fiqar mat karo... hamari Raksha and Swe vapis aaye ghi... ham usey vapis laaye ghe.. hamara pyaar vapis laayega hamari betyoon ko.. voh hamari dono diloon mai rehti hai..hamari betyaan hai..
Ragini: Laksh...
Laksh: Haan Ragini?..
Ragini: hamari betyaan vapis aane wali hai...
Laksh: kya?..
Ragini: Laksh.. I am pregnent..
Both Swara and Laksh looked at each other as a smile appeared on their faces..
Laksh: Ragini tum kaha ho?! Mein abhi tumhe laine aata hu!
Ragini looked around: Laksh ham highway mai...
Suddenly the sound of a big blast is heard with a loud scream of Ragini..
Swara and Laksh looked on..
Swara took the phone from Laksh hands: Ragini! Ragini kya hua?!..
Laksh backed off stunned as he started to sweat..
Few days later..
Sujata put a Garland around Ragini's big smiling picture and both on her each side there were Raksha and Swe's pictures with garlands..
Sujata looked at them with teary eyes: kya ho gaya hai is ghar ko..kiski nazar lag gai..
Swara was sitting beside the dining table on the floor while hugging a frame without any expression..
In RagLak's room..
Laksh sat on the bed looking at a picture of Ragini with Raksha and Swe in his wallet..
'Maafi toh maangnay daiti mujhay'
After some days..
A lady with gungath hid beside the wall of Maheshwari's Mansion's gate.. she removed the gungath.. it was Ragini...
She saw whole the family in the garden and Swara serving tea to all..
Swara sadly turned after serving it... Sanskar came to her and put a hand on her shoulder... she looked at Laksh who was coming outside from the house...
Swara went to him and put a hand on his shoulder... he nodded..
Ragini thought looking at all this:agar aj hum wapis chalay gaye toh swara kabhi bhi apni jaga wapis ni bna paye gi. Agay hi usnay chai saal khi diye. Humnay toh raksha aur swe ko pyar diya sab diya swara ki toh kuch naseeb na howa...
She wiped her tears..
"Humay maaf kardeejaga par yeh zarori hai"
She looked at swara and then at laksh and then turned around going away..
5 years later...
