Laksh and mr. Singhania were sitting at Singhania's villa hall..

Laksh signed a paper and stood up followed by mr. Singhania..

Mr. Singhania: So mr. Maheshwari.. the deal is finalized..

They two shook their hands..

Laksh: Mr. Singhania abh sirf final signatures baaki hai.. aur uske liye aapko Kolkatta aana parey ga..

Mr. Singhania: Yes.. I was thinking you can stay some days more here and then we can leave for India together..

Laksh: I am sorry mr singhania.. I have a very important meeting in line.. so I have to go to Kolkatta today itself..

Mr. Singhania: I can understand.. but I can't let you go without having lunch together.. khaana kha kar hi jaana..

Laksh: But mr. singhania..

Mr. singhania: I insist mr. Maheshwari..

Laksh sighed smiling and nodded..

In the kitchen..

Ragini was making the lunch hurrily when a servent came there..

Ragini: Surbhi yeh ready hai.. aap le jaa sagte hai..

Surbhi: Ji Didi..

With this she took some dishes and went out of the kitchen..

Laksh and mr. Singhania were sitting on the dining table..

Surbhi served them the dishes..

Laksh had the first bite and furrowed his eyebrows eating as he felt like Ragini made them..

Flashback..

Laksh was working on the laptop in the room when Ragini came there with food..

She sat near Laksh and gave him the plate with food: Break ka time ho gaaya Laksh!

Laksh looked at her smiling: Arey wah.. biwi ji ko pata hota hai kab mujhe bhook lagti hai aur khaane ki zaroort parti hai..

Ragini giggled and put her elbow on his shoulder: khaana bhi biwi Ji ne hi banaaya hai..

Laksh chuckled and had a bite of the food..

He made a face: Eww!! Ragini yeh kya bana diya!!

Ragini made a sad face: Acha nehi bana hai kya?

Laksh shouted putting the plate on the nightstand: Bilkul bhi nehi! I was working since a lot, I was tired and tum mujhe yeh khaana de rahi ho??

Ragini started to sob looking down..

Laksh's angry expression changed: aww mera baccha..

He hugged her to calm her down: Arey meri bholi bhali biwi ji I was just joking.. - he held her hands and kissed them - You are the best cook in the world!

Ragini looked at him still sobbing a bit: Mazak tha?

Laksh nodded laughing: Haan baccha sirf mazak hi tha..

Ragini wiped her tears and held the pillow starting to beat Laksh with it..

Ragini: Aapko pata ham kitna darr gaye the! Hamne socha aapko sach mai hamare hathoon ka khaana nehi pasand! Aap bohat bure hai!!

Laksh tried to cover himself with his hands laughing: Arey sorry jaan.. maaf bhi kardo!

Flashback ends..

Laksh to mr. Singhania: Mr. Singhania.. yeh khaana kisne banaaya?

Mr. Singhania: Just a maid.. kya phirse koi gadbad kardi usne?

Laksh shook his head: Nehi bilkul nehi.. bohat acha bana hai..

He stood up: Abh mein chalta hu.. Flight ka time ho raha hai..

Mr. Singhania stood up too and shook his hand: It was a pleasure to meet you mr. Maheshwari..

Laksh smiled a bit: The pleasure was mine..

With this he took his bag and went towards the door.. he stopped and closed his eyes as a painful expression came on his face thinking: Itna bhi bura nehi tha ki tum mujhe chod kar hi chali jaao..

He opened his eyes and started to walk again..

Just then Ragini came out of the kitchen..

Laksh went out of the huose..

He was about to go away when he saw Ragya in the garden playing with mr. Singhania's children... a smile appeared on his face..

Laksh: Ragya! - He called her.

Ragya turned at him and smiled too.. She became happy and ran to Laksh.. she hugged him..

Ragya: Sadu uncle!!

Laksh hugged her back.. he knelt to her level..

Ragya: Aap yaha kya kar rahe ho?

Laksh: mr. Singhania hai na? Unke sath ek kaam tha..

Ragya chuckled putting a hand on her mouth: Voh to aapse bhi zyaada sadu hai!

Laksh: Aap aisa kyu bol rahe ho?

Ragya: Maa unke liye kaam karti hai aur voh daant te rehte hai! I don't like him! Aap Maa se miley ghe?

Laksh: Baccha abh to mujhe jaana hoga.. India vapis jaa raha hu na, to flight ka time ho raha hai.. lekin I promise.. agli baar jab aau ga to aapse phirse milne aau ga, ok?

Ragini nodded smiling again: Aur Maa bhi aein ghi!

Laksh: Aur Papa? Voh nehi aein gai?

Ragya became sad.. she looked down..

Ragya: Papa pata nehi kaha hai..

Laksh felt sad and hugged her: Aww mera baccha.. - he stopped realizing what he said..

ragya: sadu uncle agar ap smile karna start kardaein gai na toh ill not call you sadu!

Laksh laughed and kissed her forehead cupping her little face..

He stood up saying: Abh mein chalta hu.. Aap apna aur apki Maa ka khayal rakkhna!

Ragya nodded moving her head in a childish way..

Laksh turned around and started to go away..

He looked back moving his face a bit as he was feeling like he is going away from someone very dear..

A taxi came there and Laksh sat on it..

Just then Ragini came in the garden..

The taxi went..

Ragya went to Ragini: Maa aap ek second pehle nehi aa sagte the?! Sadu uncle yaha the!

Ragini got confused: Sadu uncle??

Ragya: Mere ek bohat achey friend hai.. bilkul mere jaise.. he is handsome, dashing and has style.. meri tarah!

She raised the collar of her jacket..

Ragini was amused..

Ragya: Aur aapko pata hai.. Sadu uncle ne mujhe "aww mera baccha" bulaaya!

Ragini got a bit taken aback remembering Laksh cupping her face and saying "aww mera baccha".. but then she shook her head thinking: yeh nehi ho sagta..

On the other side..

At MM:

Swara was in the kitchen, cutting vegetables.. she had no expression on her face..

Sujata came there and went to Swara..

Sujata: chori tu yaha ke kar rahi hai, voh Khusi ki teacher ka phone aaya tha.. voh tare se milna chahti hai..

Swara sighed putting down the knife: Mom please aap chali jayee.. mujhe ghar mai bohat kaam hai..

With this she went out of the kitchen..

Sujata: Arey chori sun to..

Sujata looked at her from behind with a sad expression: Aisa lagta hai jaise itehas phirse dora raha hai.. Pehle Sanskar ne Swe ko dihaan nehi diya.. aur abh Swara Khusi ke sath aisa kar rahi hai..

She sobbed..

Sujata wiped the tears which were rolling down from her eyes..

Sujata: maare ko Ragini, Raksha aur Swe ki bar din yaad aati hai..

She cried..

LONDON

Ragini was about to go away from Singhania's Mansion when mr. Singhania came there..

Mr. Singhania: Ragini!

Ragini turned: Ji?

Mr. Singhania: Ek deal ke liye mujhe Kolkata jaana hoga.. and you have to come with me, bacchon ka khayal rakkhne ke liye..

Ragini was shocked.. she shook her head stepping back: N..nehi.. nehi.. ham Kolkata n..ehi jaa sagte..

She looked down..

Mr. Singhania: Mein tumse puch nehi raha hai.. It's an order! Aur agar tum India nehi aana chahti.. to aaghe se yaha aane ki bhi zaroort nehi hai!

Ragini's eyes welled up: Lekin Sir.. hamari majboori hai.. ham Kolkata nehi jaa sagte.. please.. – she joined her hands begging him..

Mr. Singhania: You have to come or else you will be fired. The decision is yours.

Ragini looked down and shut her eyes slowly nodding..

On the other side..

Laksh came back home.. he entered in the hall..

Khushi, who was coming downstairs, saw him and a smile appeared on her face: Chote Papa!

She ran to Laksh but he backed out: Khushi, mein bohat thak gaya hu aur bohat kaam hai.. tum jaa kar khelo..

Khushi made a sad face and went away looking down..

Sanskar, who saw what happened, went to Laksh..

Sanskar: Lucky.. Tumne kabhi Khushi se achi tarah baat bhi nehi ki.. phir bhi voh tumse itna pyaar karti hai.. I really can't understand the connection..

Laksh: rehne do Bhai.. yeh rishton sai mai dur rehna chahta hoon ku kai yeh hamesha dard hi latay hain..

He looked at ragini and rakhswe wall sized picture and went to his room..

The next day..

Ragini, Ragya and mr. Singhania with his kids reached Kolkata..

Ragini came out of the airport and looked around.. her eyes welled up and she closed them feeling the breeze blowing on the city..

She recalled her and Swara's first jugalbandi, Laksh meeting her in the park of music academy, hugging Sharmishta and Swara together.. flashes of some past moments came in front of her.. how she hid on the terrace of baadi with Laksh, shaking hands with Laksh on the hill of Kolkata, their marriage..

(Swara: "gini swaragini ab hum sath hain")

(Laksh: "I love you Ragini..")

Suddenly Ragya's voice took her in reality..

Ragya: Offo Maa! Aap phirse rone lag gai?! Kitni baar bolu beautiful log rote hue achey nehi lagte!

Ragini smiled a bit while tears were still making their way..

(Raksha: "Mama ap bohat pretty ho par rote howay bilkul pretty nehi lagti. Mat ro mama.. "

Swe: "Mom aap please mat roiye na... I can't see you crying..." )

Ragini: Beta bas kuch yaadein hai jo saamne aa rahi hai..

Mr. Singhania: Ham sidha hotel jaaye ghe.. Tum bacchon ko room mai le jaana.. mene hotel mai venue book kiya hai for the event.. vaha clients aa jaye ghe.. So i will go straight there and then we will leave today itself.

Ragini nodded and held Ragya and the kids hands.. she looked at the sky and thought: ek din ki hi baat hai.. phir ham vapis London chale hi jaaye ghe..

She looked down..

Later..

The event in the hotel was going on and all the Maheshwaris and Gadodias were there.. Laksh was talking to mr. Singhania..

Meanwhile..

Ragya was in the garden of the hotel and was playing with few kids.. she was so excited and was jumping around..

Ragini was watching her from the window smiling..

Kid: Chalo race karte hai!!

Ragya chuckled: You will loose!

Kid: Laghi bet?!

Ragya: Ok! Agar mein jeeti to you guys have to give me 500 rupees!

Ragini heard her and shook her head: bilkul apne baap pai gai hai! Koi ujar kyu na jaaye, bet pai bet!

Ragya and the kids took their position..

Kid: 1, 2, 3!!

They started to run..

They ran till the outside of the hotel and Ragya won..

She smiled rubbing her nose with her fist..

Ragini came there while Ragya brought ahed her hand towards the kids who gave her the money and went away..

Ragini went to Ragya: Baby aapko pata hai bet lagana kitni buri baat hai?!

ragya: maa ap itni tension ku laiti ho. buri baat ni hai bas fun hai..

Ragini: aur agar ap race haar jati toh hum toh apko 500 na daitay phir ap unko kaisay samjhati?

ragya smiled: maa its ragya! i have plan aur mujhy race mai toh ap bhi ni hara sakti!

Ragya ran inside the hotel laughing and Ragini was behind her..

Ragini: abhi btati hoon!

Ragya kept running and went inside the venue where the event was going on..

Laksh and everyone were still there..

Ragini came there and stopped at the entrance before stepping inside.. she looked down feeling something strange but then she shook her head and ran inside the venue looking for Ragya.

Swara suddenly flinched a bit and turned around.. her eyes were became bigger: Aisa kyu lag raha hai jaise Ragini yahi kahi hai..

She looked around..

Ragya was still running laughing.. she looked behind to see if Ragini was there but suddenly dashed into someone.. she turned and looked a little up seeing Annapurna and Dp standing in front of her..

Ragya showed her teeth: Aap gussa mat hona.. kabhi kabhi hota hai..

She giggled.. Annapurna and Dp smiled at her naughtiness..

Laksh, who was talking to few guests, saw Ragya with Annapurna and Dp... a large smile came on his face, he became happy seeing Ragya there..

He went towards her to meet her but just then she ran away..

Laksh: Arey..

He went behind her..

Also Ragini, who was coming from the opposite side of Laksh, was looking for Ragya among the crowd..

Laksh made his way among the people and walked ahed while Ragini turned a bit to look around keeping to walk...

Suddenly they dashed into each other..

Laksh: I am so..

He stopped as he looked on and saw Ragini in front of him..

Ragini was too stunned to see Laksh there..

The camera rounded around them while they kept looking at each other..

"Zindaghi le ke aai hai beete din ki kitaab..

Ghere hain ab hume yaadein behisaab.."

Laksh: Ragini..

The name sounded as an echo to Swara, who was talking to some guests with Sanskar..

She immediately turned..

Her eyes got bigger and teary as she saw Ragini.. Sanskar looked at her stunned too..

Sharmishta held Shekhar's hand as she heard "Ragini".. they looked at each other and then turned seeing Ragini in front of them..

Sharmishta covered her mouth with both her hands as she sobbed and her eyes welled up seeing her daughter...

Dadi, who was near Sharmishta and Shekhar, looked at where their eyes got still, and got shocked..

Dadi: Laado..

Annapurna, Dp, Sujata and Rp looked on.. they got shocked too..

Uttara, who saw Ragini too, held Parineeta's elbow and looked at Ragini.. Parineeta saw Ragini too... she covered her mouth with an hand and then looked at Adarsh, who was standing near her and was stunned too..

Laksh wasn't able to believe at his eyes.. tears came out of his eyes and made their way down.. he covered his mouth in shock and then smiled... but words weren't coming out of his mouth..

"Tere liye ham hain jiye.. har aanso piye..

Tere liye ham hain jiye.. honthoon ko siye.."

He touched Ragini's face to know if she was real..

Once he realized Ragini was REALLY in front of her.. he closed his eyes and smiled while tears were still falling down on his cheek..

"Dil mai magar jalte rahe.. chahat ke diye..

Tere liye.. tere liye.."

Ragini's eyes welled up too.. but she was helpless.. she looked at Swara with teary eyes..

Suddenly Ragya came and stood between both.. she looked at them and smiled..

ragya: Maa yehi toh hain sadu uncle!

Ragini and Laksh looked at her shocked.. Laksh looked at Ragini..

All were stunned..

Ragya: aur sadu uncle yeh hain meri Maa!

Laksh looked at Ragya and remembered Ragini's call before the blast..

Flashback..

Laksh on the phone with Ragini: 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..

Flashback ends..

Laksh looked at Ragini with wet eyes..

Mr. Singhania came there..

He went to Ragini angrily and shouted holding her elbow and making her look at him: Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?! Mene tumse saaf saaf bola tha bacchon ke sath room mai raho!! So why did you come here?!! Paanch saal sai tumhe thora support kya kar diya tum to apni marzi se kahin bhi aa jaati ho!!

He pushed her..

Laksh stabilised her... and looked at mr. Singhania with anger in his eyes..

He slapped mr. Singhania hardly: HOW DARE YOU TO SPEAK HER IN THIS WAY?!!! SHE IS MY WIFE!!

Mr. singhania looked at him and then at Ragini shocked..

Ragini was crying..

Swara ran to her and immediately hugged her crying: Ragini tum kaha thi itne saal!.. tumhe pata nehi mein tumare bina kaise reh rahi thi.. har pal tumari yaadon mai mar rahi thi.. yeh soch kar ki tum.. tum mujhe chod kar hamesha ke liye chali gai..

She sobbed still hugging Ragini..

Ragini shut her eyes crying but didn't hug her back..

Swara broke the hug and put a hand on Ragini's cheek..

Sharmishta went to Ragini and looked at her with teary eyes.. Swara stepped back to leave space for Sharmishta who went in front of Ragini and cupped her face..

Sharmishta spoke with a crying voice: Meri Rago..

She hugged Ragini tightly..

Ragini kept looking down..

Shekhar looked at them wiping his tears and smiling a bit..

Ragya was looking at them confused..

Annapurna came near Ragini too and put her hands on Ragini's shoulders looking at her from bottom to top..

Annapurna: Beta tum soch bhi nehi sagti tumhe zinda, sehi salamaat.. apni aankhon ke saamne dekh kar, mujhe kitni khushi mil rahi hai..

She smiled still crying..

Sujata nodded: Bilku sehi keh rahi hai Jiji.. abh hamari Ragini vapas aa gai hai.. to sab thik ho jayega..

She said happily while tears were still making their way..

All were too happy to see Ragini...

But she wasn't reacting.. she looked down and thought: Agar ham vapis aa gaye.. to rishtey aur halaat badal sagte hai..

She closed her eyes tightly to stop her tears and then looked on joining her hands in front of all: Abh hame chalna chahi hai..

Laksh couldn't believe..

Ragini held Ragya's hand and was about to go when..

laksh: tum zinda thi?

ragini with a straight face: apko aur sabko chor kai jana humara khudka faisla tha aur hum bohat khush bhi hain!

Swara stepped back flinching a bit.. Sanskar put his hands around her shoulders..

Sharmishta and Shekhar looked at each other shocked..

Sujata's eyes got bigger and she put a hand on Annapurna's arm who was looking at Ragini stunned..

Laksh: khush ho?

Ragini: bohat khush hain. ku kai humay humari qurbaniyo ka mila hi kia? humay humari hi betiyo ka gunehgar karar dai diya gaya. humaray jatay hi sab khush rehnay lagay. swara ne humari jaga lai lii. jab ap sbkay dil mai humari jaga ni hai toh humaray dil mai bhi ni hai!

All were stunned..

Swara: Ragini aisa kuch nehi hai..

Ragini: Aisa hi hai!

Annapurna, almost crying, held Ragini's shulders: Nehi beta.. aisa mat bolo.. tum hamari Ragini ho.. hamara parivaar tumare bina adhoora hai.. voh to bas halaat hi kuch aise the..

But before she could say anything more Ragini removed her hands from her shoulders..

Ragya looked at Ragini confused: maa yeh kaun hain sab?

Ragini was quite..

Laksh looked at Ragini: chup ku ho jawab doo usko kai kaun hain yeh sab log? kaun hoon mein?

Ragini: humay koi fark ni parta ab. bohat saal guzar chukay hain aur ham agay barh chukay hain. humay ab kisi ki parwa ni hai!

She said looking down with a serious face.

Laksh clapped: wah ragini wah! Mein yahan panch saal sai tarap raha hoon, maar raha hoon pal pal.. har pal tumhay yad karta hoon. aur tum agay barh chuki ho?

he shook her..

laksh: mai yeh soch soch kai keh tum is dunia mai ni ho tumharay paas anay ki duaein mangta hoon aur tumhay koi fark ni parta?

ragini: ni parta fark.

laksh: tumnay yeh dekhaya kai tum mar chuki ho? and HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY DAUGHTER STAY AWAY FROM ME???

ragini: ab in sab baaton ka koi faida ni hai laksh janay deejay humay!

laksh was stunned but than he harshly holds her arm: you will get the papers asap!

Ragini looked at him: divorce papers?

Laksh smiled: talak toh tab hota na jb koi rishta bacha hota. i am talking about CUSTODY PAPERS. tum jaisi selfish aurat keliye maine panch saal marnay ki khwaish ki hai. now its your turn. and jab tak koi faisla nehi hota meri beti meray paas rahay gi ab tum decide karlo keh tumhay kaha rehna hai!

he held ragya's hand..

ragya looked at him: papa..

Just then Khushi came from outside.. she saw Ragini there and a smile appeared on her face..

Khushi ran to Ragini and hugged her happily..

khushi: maasi maa!

Ragini was stunned..

She looked down at Khushi putting her hands on Khushi's back.. and then looked at all with a stunned expression..

Episode ends..

precap: kuch raaz aur bhi baaki hain..
