Laksh: 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..

Ragini looked down at Khushi who was hugging her smiling..

Ragini's eyes welled up..

Khushi looked up at her: Maasi Maa aapko pata hai.. Mama aapko bohat yaad karti thi.. aur hamesha sad rehti thi.. hamse bhi baat ni karti thi.. lekin abh aap aa gaye ho na.. to hamari Mama khush rehne laghey ghi! Aap hamare sath raho ghe na Maasi Maa? Hame chod kar nehi jaao ghe na abh?

Ragini wasn't able to speak.. she looked at her with teary eyes..

Swara: Zubaan sai tum kuch bhi kehlo Ragini.. aankheein hamesha sach bolti hai..

Ragini looked at her and then at Khushi.. she backed off looking down..

Swara walked to her with determination: Bohat achey se jaanti hu apni choti behan ko.. aur mein kabhi yeh nehi maan sagti ki jisne is pure parivaar ke liye itna kuch kiya, voh itni selfish ho sagti hai ki apne hi parivaar ko aise chod kar chali jaaye.. bataao sach kya hai..

Ragini looked down: Hame kuch nehi bolna hai.

Swara held her elbow and shook her harshly making her look on: Bolna parey ga! Ragini kyu kiya tumne aisa?!

Ragini looked straight at her: Hamne jo bhi kiya khudki marzi se kiya!

Ragini removed Swara's hand from her elbow and looked away..

Swara was stunned as whole the family..

Laksh made a grimace..

Sujata: Chori tara dimaag to na hil gaya hai ke?! Tum aisa kaise kar sagti ho?!

Annapurna: Ragini paanch saal hamne tumari yaadon mai bitaaye hai.. yeh soch kar ki tum hamse hamesha hamesha ke liye dur chali gai ho.. Tumne hamare baare mai ek baar bhi nehi socha?

Ragini: Kyu sochte ham? Aur aapko hamari yaad kyu aai, aapki ladli beti Swara vapis aa to gai thi! Aur aap sab khush bhi the.. aur khush rahe ghe bhi.. ham aapki khushi mai dhakhal nehi dai ghe.. kyu ki ham jaa rahe hai! Ham yaha nehi ruke ghe!

With this she held Ragya's hand under the shocked eyes of everyone..

But just then Laksh pulled Ragya towards him and picked her up..

Laksh: Meri beti kahin bhi nehi jaaye ghi, Ragya mere paas hi rahe ghi.. Tum apna decision le sagti ho, lekin meri aur meri beti ki zindaghi ke sath khelne ka koi haq nehi hai tumara Ragini!

Ragini looked at him stunned..

Ragya looked at her and then at Laksh..

Ragini: Aap hamari beti ko hamse dur nehi kar sagte!

Laksh: Tumne 6 saal meri beti ko mujhse dur rakha hai Ragini! Voh yaad nehi hai kya?

Ragini: Lekin ham... - she stopped and looked down while tears fell from her eyes..

Adarsh looked at the guests and joined his hands: We are really sorry.. but it's a family matter.. if you please can excuse us...

The guest nodded and started to leave..

Sanskar went to mr. singhania: Sorry mr. Singhania... lekin..

Laksh cut him before he could say anything more: Inko sorry kyu bol rahe ho Bhai? Jisko kisi ki respect nehi karni aati unki respect karne ki zaroort nehi hai.. Instead inko maafi maangni chahi hai for how he treated my.. - he said a bit louder..

Laksh realized what he was saying and stopped... he looked away...

Ragini looked at him with teary eyes..

Swara: For how he treated my sister.. - she went towards mr. Singhania - Mr. Singhania it will be better for you, meri behan se abhi ke abhi maafi maangiye warna..

Mr. Singhania: Warna what?

Dp: Warna ham yeh deal cancel kar dai ghe.. aur aapko achi tarah pata hai ki sabse zyaada nuksaan aapka hi hoga...

Mr. Singhania looked at him angrily..

Dp: Mr. Singhania aisa karna acha to nehi lag raha.. lekin hamari beti ki baat hai.. - he looked at Ragini who looked down, Dp looked back at mr. Singhania - aapko maafi maangni hi hoghi..

Mr. Singhania looked at Ragini angrily.. but then he said: I am sorry..

Swara: Sunaai nehi diya..

Mr. Singhania: I said I am sorry.

Ragya: Abhi bhi sunaai nehi diya!

Mr. Singhania joined his hands in front of Ragini and said loudly: I am really sorry Ragini for how I treated you in these 5 years.

Ragya giggled while Ragini eyed her..

Mr. Singhania glared at everyone..

He angrily went away..

Shekhar held Sharmishta's hand: Chalo Mishti.. Bohat dekh liya yaha ka drama.. Maa.. - he looked at Dadi - chaliye..

He was about to take her away when Sharmishta removed her hand from his grip and almost ran to Ragini, who was standing there looking down, still..

Ragini slowly looked on to see Sharmishta standing in front of her..

Sharmishta placed an hand on Ragini's cheek and looked at her with teary eyes: 6 saal ke liye mene Swara se nafrat ki, yeh soch kar ki voh itni khudgaraz hai ki ham sabko chodne ke liye usko zyaada sochna nehi para.. lekin mein galat thi.. magar.. - she smiled a bit - vohi galti phirse nehi dohrane wali..

She planted a kiss on Ragini's forehead and then smiled at Ragini's stunned expression..

Sharmishta went back to Shekhar..

She looked at him and then went out of the venue followed by Shekhar and Dadi..

Laksh put down Ragya and held her hand.. he smiled a bit: Ghar chaley?

Ragya looked at him and then at Ragini..

Ragya went to Ragini dragging Laksh with her and held her hand too..

Ragya: Maa bhi hamare sath jaaye ghi.

Ragini and Laksh looked at each other..

Laksh: Agar aana chahe to aa jaye ghi.

With this he went out of the venue holding Ragya's hand who follwed him but kept looking at Ragini..

Everyone started to leave..

Sanskar picked up Khushi, who was still standing near Ragini..

Ragini looked at her..

Sanskar was about to follow the others when..

Khushi: Papa.. Maasi Maa hamare sath nehi aa rahi?

Sanskar looked at her and then at Ragini..

Swara came: Ragini hamare sath hi aaye ghi.

With this she held Ragini's hand and dragged her out..

Laksh was going to his car with Ragya in his arms..

Ragya: To phir sadu uncle.. aap mere sadu uncle nehi mere sadu papa ho?

Laksh smiled: Ji haan... aur yeh aapke sadu papa ki gaari..

He placed Ragya on the top of the car smiling..

Ragya looked at the car with big eyes: Wooow!! Yeh aapki car hai?!

Laksh: Aaj se yeh aapki bhi hai.. Aap jaha chaho ghe vaha yeh sadu Papa aapko le jaaye ghe!

Ragya giggled..

She looked on and a smile appeared on her face: Maa!!

Laksh turned around and saw Ragini coming with Swara, Sanskar and Khushi..

Laksh looked away..

Ragini went to Ragya and picked her in her arms..

Ragya: Maa Papa ki gaari dekha kitni bari hai!

Ragini smiled a bit.. she looked at Laksh who was looking the other way..

Swara: Ragini tum Ragya ko le kr gaari mai betho..

Ragini looked down and made Ragya sit in the car keeping to look at Laksh with a painful expression on her face..

Laksh, without looking at Ragini: Bhai.. mere wali gaari mai tum log chaley jaao.. mein tumari car sai aa jaau ga..

Ragini, who was about to get into the car, heard him adn felt hurt.. she shut her eyes and went to sit inside the car while her eyes welled up..

Swara: Laksh.. mein nehi maanti ki Ragini ko mere vapis aane sai itni problem thi... she cares about you and all of us.. I am sure koi na koi to vajah hai uske yeh behavior kai pishey.. tum uske sath acha nehi kar rahe..

Laksh looked at her angrily: Aur usne jo mere sath kiya?! Uska kya? Usne apni marzi se khudko aur Ragya ko mujhse dur rakha.. mein 5 saal ke liye tarpta raha, aur usko.. usko to koi parwah hi nehi hai meri!

Swara: Lekin Laksh..

Laksh: Bas Swara! Mujhe kuch nehi sun na hai!

With this he went away angrily..

Swara and Sanskar looked at each other helpless..

After a while..

Laksh took Ragya in front of RagLak's room... he opened the door..

Laksh: Aur jab tak aapka asli wala room ready nehi ho jaata.. yehi aapka room hoga!

A large smile appeared on Ragya's face.. she ran inside the room and went on the bed jumping on it cheerfully..

Ragya: Yeh room kitna bada hai! I love it Papa!!

Laksh smiled at her.. his eyes welled up a bit..

Ragya, who was still jumping, noticed his tears and stopped.. she got off from the bed and went towards him..

Ragya: Papa.. aap ro kyu rahe ho?..

Laksh immediately wiped his tears and shook his head: Kuch nehi..

He knelt at her level and held her little hands looking at her with teary eyes..

Ragya: To phit aapki aankhon mai yeh kyu hai?

She wiped his tears..

Laksh smiled: Aapko saamne paa kar itna khushi mil rahi hai ki khushi ke aansu hi aa gaye.. aapko pata hai.. abh ham sath mai itna time spend karey ghe, itni masti karey ghe.. ki jo panch saal ki duri baar de ghe..

Ragya giggled: Mere Papa itne bhi sadu nehi hai!

Laksh laughed between his tears and hugged Ragya tightly..

Ragini, who was standing at the door, saw them and a little smile came on her face... but tears kept making their way down from her eyes..

Ragini thought: Hame pata hai hamne galat kiya hai ek beti ko uske papa se alag rakh kar.. lekin hamari behan ki khushioon ke liye yeh zaroori tha.. 6 saalon mai Swara ke liye sabke dil mai galat femmyaan aur nafrat paida ho gai thi.. agar ham na jaate.. to shaid usko voh haq aur pyaar nehi milta jo abh mil raha hai..

Ragya's eyes went on Raksha and Swe with Ragini's wall sized photo.. she furrowed her eyebrows and broke the hug..

Ragya: Voh Maa ke sath kon hai?

Laksh turned to look at where she was indicating.. also Ragini looked there, and got surprised seeing the wall sized frame.. Tears fell on her cheeks..

Laksh stood up and saw Ragini there..

Ragini walked towards the picture and slowly touched Raksha and then Swe's face... her heart was aching: Tumari behne hai Ragya.. Raksha.. aur Swe..

Ragya smiled: Behne?! Matlab friends!! Phir to yaha rehne mai bohat maza aaye ga!

Ragini turned: Voh nehi aaye ghi.. - her voice was trembling..

Laksh felt bad.. he looked down..

Ragya: Lekin kyu?

Ragini: Voh hame chod kar bohat dur chali gai hai.. jaha se voh chah kar bhi.. - she sobbed - kabhi vapis nehi aa sagti..

Ragya: This is unfair! Mujhse mil kar bhi nehi gai!

Ragini was looking at Swe and Raksha's photos sadly..

Laksh wiped his tears and sighed..

Laksh: Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?

Ragini returned in reality and turned at Laksh..

Ragini: Voh.. Ragya hamare bagair nehi soti..

Laksh looked at Ragya who nodded..

Laksh: To phir tum vaha sofe par so jaao, aur mein aur Ragya bed par so jaate hai.

Ragini eyed him..

Ragya: Haww... how rude Papa! Maa sofe par kyu soe ghi?!

Laksh: Kyu ki ham bed par soe ghe..

Ragini: Ham aur Ragya bed par soe ghe!

Laksh: Yeh mera kamra hai!

Ragini: Yeh hamara bhi kamra hai!

Laksh: Hai nehi tha!

Ragini: Abhi bhi hai!

Ragya hit her forehead with her palm: Offo! Stopppp!!

Laksh and Ragini stopped..

Ragya held Ragini's hand and dragged her on the left side of the bed.. she indicated Ragini to lie there..

Ragini smiled and looked at Laksh raising her eyebrows..

But just then Ragya went to Laksh and held his hand indicating him to lie on the right side!

Ragini and Laksh looked at each other with a stunned expressions..

Ragya went on the bed and lied on the center smiling: Lights off please!

Ragini and Laksh looked at her..

Ragya: Mene kaha lights off.. mujhe neend aa rahi hai!

She said a bit lower..

Ragini and Laksh immediately lied on their respective sides and Laksh switched off the lights..

Ragya closed her eyes smiling..

After some minutes..

Ragya opened an eye and looked first at Laksh and then at Ragini.. both were fallen asleep..

Ragya grabbed Ragini's hand and placed it on herself and then held Laksh's hand and put it on Ragini's one..

She again smiled and closed her eyes..

The next morning..

Ragya was sitting on the dining table holding a fork and a spoon..

Ragya: Maa jaldi breakfast laao! Bhook laghi hai!!

She shouted..

Just then Laksh came holding a plate with parantha: There is garma garm parantha for my little angel!

He placed it in front of Ragya..

Ragya looked at it and then at Laksh making a pout and shaking her head: No parantha!!

Ragini came with an omelette: Yeh parantha varantha nehi khati.. Sirf enligh breakfast.. bilkul aap par gai hai!

She laughed giving the omelette to Ragya..

Ragya: Lekin Maa ko parantha bohat pasand hai! Papa aap Maa ko parantha khilaaye na!

Laksh: Lekin baby yeh parantha to aap ke liye tha.

Ragya: Lekin mein paranthe khati nehi hu.. Maa khati hai!

Laksh and Ragini looked at each other.

Laksh looked away: Mein iske liye kuch nehi karne wala!

Ragini looked at him angrily: Hamne bhi aapse kuch nehi pucha hai!

Ragya put down the fork and the spoon and made a face: Offo! Aap dono mere Maa aur Papa ho! Aapko ek dusre ke friends hona chahi hai jaise sabke parents ek dusre ke friends hote hai!

Ragini: Koi zaroort nehi hai.. Ragya ham yaha sirf kuch hi dino ke liye aaye hai.. jab custody papers hame mil jaaye ghe to ham vapis London chaley jaaye ghe.

Laksh glared at her: Tum London vapis jaao ghi, Ragya mere paas rahe ghi!

Ragini: Ragya hamare bagair kahin nehi rahe ghi!

Ragya: Stop ittt!! - she shouted shutting her eyes and hitting her fists on the table..

Ragya looked at Ragini: Papa to sadu the lekin aap sadu Maa mai kabse turn hoghi?! Mujhe normal Maa Papa chahi hai!! - she said hitting her fists on the table again..

She stopped and stood up crossing her arms..

Ragya turned around: To thik hai.. Jab tak aap dono friends nehi ban jaate.. tab tak na mein kuch khau ghi, na piyu ghi.. aur na hi aapse baat karu ghi!

Ragini and Laksh looked at each other and then together went to Ragya putting respectevily an hand on her shoulders..

Ragini: Baby aise zidd nehi karte.. jaao jaa kar apna breakfast finish karo!

Ragya looked at her: Maa.. bohat bhook laghi hai.. - she made and angry face - lekin aapki vajah se I will not eat!

Laksh: Jaan lekin papa ke liye to kha li jiye..

Ragya looked at him: Agar aap Maa ko voh parantha khilaao ghe.. to I will eat..

She smiled..

Laksh looked at her and then at Ragini..

Ragini: Ragya!

Ragya: Maa! - she looked at Laksh with a sad face - Papa bhook laghi hai..

Laksh faked a laughter: But baby aapki Maa aur mein friends hi to hai..

Ragya: To phir chalo na! Maa ko parantha khilaaye! I am waiting!

Laksh sighed.. then moved his hand to indicate Ragini to come on the table..

Ragini and Laksh went to sit and Laksh took the parantha.. he took a piece of it and raised his hand towards Ragini hezitantely..

Ragini, who was looking down, looked on and her eyes met those of Laksh..

He fed her keeping to look in her eyes..

Laksh kept feeding Ragini.. both were lost in a deep eyelock..

Laksh recalled Ragini feeding her with the rasgulla..

Also Ragini remembered the moment..

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

Ghere hain ab hume yaadein behisaab.."

Suddenly Ragya giggled..

Ragini and Laksh returned in reality and both looked here and there feeling a bit awkward..

Ragini stood up and went away looking down...

Laksh looked at her from behind..

Ragya went to him and sat near him: Papa.. mein breakfast to kar loonghi.. lekin abh aapko ek aur chota sa kaam karna parey ga.. phir hi mein aapse baat karu ghi..

Laksh looked at her confused..

Ragya: Friends ek dusre ko gift karte hote hai na?.. Aapko bhi Maa ko gift daina parey ga!

She smiled at Laksh's expression..

Ragya: Aap bohat funny dikh rahe ho!

She laughed..

Laksh smiled at her innocence..

Laksh: Chalo phir.. shopping karne chaley?

Ragya screamt in excitment: Yayy!! You are the best papa!

She hugged him..

On the other side..

Ragini was walking in the corridor grumpfing: Sabke sab bigde huwe hai.. Ragya to abh hamari sunti bhi nehi hai!

Suddenly she stopped walking.. she stepped a little back going in front of the door of a room..

Ragini furrowed her eyebrows and opened the door slowly.. she peeked inside..

Khushi was holding a little doll and was talking to her sitting on the bed: Dolly tumhe pata hai, Kall hamari Maasi Maa vapis aa gai! Hamne unsey ache se baat nehi ki.. lekin hame voh bohat pasand aai! Voh bohat beautiful hai! Magar pata nehi kyu, Chote Papa un par chilla rahe the.. Ham dono mil kar pray karey ghe, ki Maasi Maa aur chote papa ke bich sab thik ho jaaye..

Ragini made an aww face... her eyes welled up..

Khushi: Dolly ham Maasi Maa se milne chaley?! Lekin tumare yeh kaprey badalne parey ghe.. Massi Maa itne saalon baad aai hai.. aise thori na jaaye ghe!

Ragini looked at her with teary eyes and a painful expression..

Khushi got up and looked around.. she saw a little box placed on a shelf..

Khushi: Yeh to bohat upar hai..

She looked around again and saw a stool.. she smiled and went to take it..

She put it in front of the shelf and got on it.. she raised her hand trying to reach the little box.. but invain...

Khushi tip toed..

Ragini was about to step inside to help her when..

Suddenly Khushi's foot slipped and she fell from the stool.. she fell on the floor hitting her chest and head with it..

She screamt loudly..

Ragini immediately stepped towards her raising an hand: Khush.. - but she stopped as she saw Khushi's forehead had started to bleed..

Ragini covered her mouth with an hand..

Khushi was crying and screamt: Mama!

Ragini was about to run to her but stopped..

She thought something looking down and immediately ran out of the room..

She was running and tears were falling down from her eyes when suddenly she dashed into Swara and Sanskar..

Swara: Ragini sambhal kar!

Ragini looked at her with a crying face: Swara! Khushi.. - she indicated the room.. - khushi ko chot lag gai hai voh bohat ro rahi hai! Usey hospital le kar jaana hoga! Khun beh raha hai!! - she said sobbing..

Swara and Sanskar looked at each other with big eyes and then faslty ran in the room shouting Khushi's name..

Ragini covered her mouth with both her hands shutting her eyes and crying..

Swara and Sanskar came in the room and got shocked seeing Khushi lying on the floor unconscious and blood near head..

Sanskar: Khushi!!

Swara and Sanskar rushed to Khushi and Sanskar held her in his arms making her turn..

He got shocked seeing the injury on her forehead..

Sanskar to Swara: Swara jaldi se driver ko bolo gaari nikaale! Hame Khushi ko hospital le kr jaana hoga!

Swara nodded and immediately stood up running out of the room..

Sanskar was hell worried... he picked up Khushi and waked out of the room as fast as he could..

After a while..

At hospital..

Swara and Sanskar were waiting in front of the ward worried..

Just then the doctor came out of the ward..

Swara and Sanskar rushed to him..

Swara: Doctor Khushi kaisi hai? Voh thik to hai na?

Doctor: Dekhiye.. gabraane ki koi baat nehi hai.. but she had a blood loss so we have to give her blood..

Swara: Haan to doctor mera khoon le li jiye... I am her mother, the blood group should match.. lekin please hamari bacchi ko kuch nehi hona chahi hai!

Sanskar: Aap mera bhi dekh li jiye doctor.. lekin please jaldi ki jiye..

The doctor nodded: Aaye mere sath..

He went inside the nearby ward calling a nurse and Swara and Sanskar followed him..

On the other side..

Laksh and Ragya were walking in the bazar..

Ragya was looking around all excited: Wow Papa yaha to bohat si cheezein hai! Maa ke liye kya kharide?!

Laksh: Aapne kuch nehi laina?

Ragya: Ham tab hi kuch lein ghe jab Maa hamare sath aaye ghi.. matlab jab aap aur Maa phirse achey friends ban jaaye ghe..

Laksh smiled shaking his head at her stubborness..

Suddenly Ragya stopped indicating a stall of "churiyan" (glass bangles)..

Ragya: Papa voh dekhiye!

She ran to the stall admiring the coloured bangles..

Laksh: Arey Ragya ruko..

He went to the stall too..

Ragya picked some red bangles and showed them to Laksh: Papa yeh Maa par kitne achey laghe ghe na?!

Laksh looked at the bangles.. his smile disappeared..

He recalled Raksha showing him some red bangles to give to Ragini when they went to Manali..

"Papa aap Mama ko yeh di jiye na... Mama ko red color bohat pasand hai.. aap unhey gift karey ghe to unhey bohat acha laghey ga.."

Laksh's eyes welled up with tears..

He looked away to wipe the corner of his eyes and then looked back at Ragya smiling a bit and nodding..

Meanwhile..

Swara and Sanskar came out of the ward looking down..

They sat on the bench in front of Khushi's wards.. they had a stunned expression on their faces..

Sanskar: Yeh kaise ho sagta hai.. na hi tumara blood group Khushi se match karta hai.. na hi mera..

Swara: Khushi ka blood group A+ hai.. jabki ham dono ka 0 hai.. so.. how can it be possible..

Sanskar sighed passing his hands on his hair..

Just then the doctor came and said: mr and mrs. Maheshwari?

Sanskar and Swara stood up looking at him: Ji?

Doctor: Hame Khushi ka matching blood mil gaya hai aur hamne usko khoon chara bhi diya hai.. don't worry, she is fine.. yeh kuch tests hai we had to do to check if she is all right..

Sanskar and Swara sighed for relief..

Sanskar took the papers from the doctor...

Swara joined her hands and prayed to thank the God and was about to say something to the doctor looking on again when her eyes went on the papers Sanskar was holding...

She slowly took them from Sanskar and read the tests...

Her expression was changing in a shocked one..

Swara: Yeh... yeh kaise ho sagta hai?!

She looked at the doctor stunned..

Swara: Na Sanskar na hi mera dna Khushi se milta hai.. how is it possible?!

Sanskar got shocked: What are you saying Swara?!

He took the tests and read them.. he is shocked to read the negative result of Khushi's DNA test..

Sanskar looked at the doctor: Yeh kya hai doctor!? Swara ki delivery to isi hospital mai hui thi to how is this possible!?

The doctor was looking here and there nervous: Voh.. voh..

Sanskar: Doctor you have to say it clearly! Khushi ka dna ham dono mai se kisi se bhi nehi milta hai.. lekin Khushi to hamari hi beti hai.. to..

The doctor snatched the papers from Sanskar's hands and gave him the other papers he was holding..

Doctor: Jo hamne tests kiye yeh hai... yeh papers aapke liye nehi the..

Swara: Doctor.. you have to answer us! Nehi to.. nehi to I will file a case on you, because this is a serious matter.. and agar aap nehi bata sagte ki yeh sab kya hai.. to police ki karwaai hi bataaye ghi!

She warned him..

Doctor: Voh.. voh.. Dna isn't matching because.. - he took a deep breath - Khushi isn't your daughter..

Swara and Sanskar got shocked.. they looked at each other not believing on what they were hearing..

Swara let herself fall on the bench, shattered..

She looked down with big eyes: Agar Khushi hamari beti nehi hai.. to.. kiski beti hai Khushi?

She thought a lot..

Sanskar: A+ to hamari family mai sirf.. Laksh ka hai..

Swara got shocked.. she looked at Sanskar and then at the doctor..

Swara stood up and showed a finger to the doctor: Doctor.. sach sach bataaye yeh sab kya hai.. Khushi aur Laksh ka khoon kaise match kar sagta hai? Meri delivery to yaha hi hui thi to phir..

Doctor: Aapki delivery yahi hui thi lekin..

Flashback..

5 years ago..

There was darkness in the ward..

Swara was lying unconscious after the delivery..

A nurse came and picked the little baby boy from the crib near her.. he had closed eyes..

Just then the doctor came there too..

Doctor: He has died..

Someone came ahed from behind the doctor..

It's revealed to be Ragini who was holding a little baby girl..

Ragini placed her in the coat delicately..

Ragini caressed the little cheek of the baby: Aaj hamne do judwa bacchyoon ko janam diya.. unme se ek.. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari ki beti kehlaye ghi..

Ragini looked at Swara and smiled a bit while tears kept making their way: ham jaante hain tum hamse kahin zyaada achi Maa bano ghi..

Flashback ends..

Swara and Sanskar were shocked..

Swara fell on her knees heart broken..

She was stunned..

Swara: Ragini ki beti meray samny thi aur panch saal tk maine usay parayo ki tran bartao kiya..

Tears rolled on her cheeks..

Suddenly she felt two little hands on her cheeks wiping her tears..

Swara looked on and saw Khushi in front of her..

Khushi: Mama aap mat roye.. ham bilkul thik hai..

Swara sobbed..

She suddenly hugged her as tightly as she could.. for the first time..

Sanskar knelt down too and put an hand on Swara's shoulder and one on Khushi's back..

Khushi was immensly happy: her mother was hugging her for the first time ever..

Later..

Swara and Sanskar came back at MM..

Whole the family was there.. also Ragya and Laksh were returned..

They saw Swara and Sanskar with Khushi coming downstairs..

Ragini sighed seeing Khushi..

Swara noticed her..

Swara: dont worry ragini khushi theek hai..

Sujata: shukar hai bhagwan ka.. mari poti sehi salamat hai..

swara: par hairat ki baat pta hai kia hai? khushi ka khoon mujhsy match ni karta

ragini got nervous

swara: aur toh aur sanskaar ka bhi ni karta. tum janti ho ku ragini?

All looked at her confused..

Ragini was looking down..

Laksh: what's the matter Swara? Bhai?

swara: ragini agar tumhay mera yahan ana bother karta tha toh tumnay aisa ku kia?

ragini: humnay kuch ni kia swara yeh tum kia bol rai ho..

swara: khushi ka blood group A+ hai jo kai iss ghar mai..

she looked at laksh

laksh: mera hai?

he looked at khushi

ragini: haan toh kbhi kbhi blood match ni karta ismay kaunsi bari baat hai..

swara: blood group toh match ni kia sath hi sath dna bhi ni karta ragini ismay toh bari baat hai na!

ragini moved back.

All got shocked..

Dp: yeh tum kya bol rahi ho Swara?

Sujata: chori taare ko apni baat ka andaaza bhi hai?!

swara: ji Maa.. hame sab kuch pata chal gaya hai.. – she looked at Laksh - laksh ragini nai panch saal pehlay twins ko janam dia aur.. – she looked down - mera baby toh paida hotay hi marr gaya tha.. thats why ragini nai khushi mujhy dai dii aur khud ragya kai sath chali gai..

Annapurna and Sujata covered their mouth..

All were shocked..

Laksh looked at Ragini stunned..

Ragini was looking down..

Laksh: kya yeh sach hai Ragini?

Ragini: voh.. voh..

Laksh went to her and shook her Harshly shouting: Ragini mein tumse kuch puch raha hu! Kya yeh sach hai?

Ragini shut her eyes.. she slowly nodded..

Laksh removed his hands from her stunned..

Ragini looked at him with a crying face.. she stepped ahed and was about to put a hand on his cheek: par Laksh ham..

But before she could say anything Laksh stepped back..

Ragini looked at him stunned..

Laksh, grtting his teeth and looking down: how dare you?..

He looked at Ragini and shouted: How dare you Ragini?!!! Itni sari khushyaan, itne saare rishtey, itna sab kuch tumne mujhse dur rakha, 5 saal ke liye mujhe tarapne ke liye choda!

Ragini: Laksh please hame samjhne ki koshish ki jiye..

Laksh: Kya samjhu?! Ragini kabhi tumne mere baare mai socha hai? You always did whatever you wanted! Aur kya kya chupaaya hai?! Bolo!

Ragini shook her head crying: Nehi Laksh hamari baat to suniye..

But Laksh just ran upstairs angrily without listening her..

Ragini was about to go behind her but Swara held her wrist: Kuch dair ke liye usey akela chor do.. he needs time..

Ragini cried shutting her eyes..

Annapurna: Ragini mujhe pata hai tumne jo kuch bhi kiya Swara ke liye kiya.. lekin is sabse Laksh ko bohat taqleef paunchi hai.. usne 5 saal ke liye na kisi se ache se baat ki.. na jiya hai voh.. sirf tumari yaadein aur apne kaam mai khoya rehta tha..

Ragini looked down..

After a while..

Laksh was in his room angrily looking out of the window..

He recalled Sanskar's words..

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

His eyes became teary remembering how he kept distance from Khushi every time when she tried to come closer to him..

Laksh: yeh tumne acha nehi kiya Ragini..

He was looking at the sky when suddenly he felt someone was pulling his shirt..

He looked down and saw Khushi holding a tray with lunch..

Khushi: Chote papa aapne subha se kuch nehi khaya.. thora sa le li jiye na.. then i promise ham aapko phirse disturb nehi karey ghe..

Laksh looked at her with teary eyes.. He knelt down and held the tray from her hands putting it aside..

He placed an hand on Khushi's cheek and then hugged her tightly..

Khushi smiled hugging him back.. but just then she heard him sobbing..

She broke the hug and looked at him confused: Aap ro rahe ho?.. kyu? Rote ni hai..

She wiped his tears..

Laksh smiled a bit between them..

Khushi took the plate with food and started to feed Laksh with her little hands while he was looking at her with wet eyes..

Ragini peeked out from the door and saw them.. tears fell from her eyes..

Just then she felt an hand on her shoulder.. she immediately turned to see Swara in front of her..

Ragini: Swara..

She hugged her crying..

Ragini: Swara hamare sath hi aisa kyu hota hai.. jab bhi ham kisi ke liye kuch acha karne jaate hai sab hame galat samjhte hai.. aisa kyu Swara.. ham itne bure hai ki koi hame samjhta hi nehi hai?!

She cried loudly..

Swara: Lekin meri choti behan itni badi kabse hoghi ki meri khushi ke liye khudka sab kuch tyaag kar kr mujhse hi dur chali gai?..

She broke the hug and looked at Ragini who was still sobbing.. Swara cupped Ragini's face..

Swara: kuch saal pehle tumne Laksh ko paane ke liye mere khilaaf gai.. Aur abh.. mere liye hi tum Laksh se dur chali gai.. itni bari qurbaani daine ki himmat kaha se aai?

She said with a crying voice..

Ragini looked down..

Swara smiled a bit: Kall Khushi aur Ragya ka birthday hai.. Mere liye ek aur chota sa kaam kardo.. I want to see my sister happy with her family..

With this she was about to go when..

Ragini: Ek vadaa karo ghi?

Swara looked at her: Kya?

Ragini: Khushi ko apni beti ki tarah hi rakho ghi.. usko Maa ka pyaar do ghi na?

Swara smiled: Paanch saal mai jitna us se dur rahi.. us se kahin zyaada pyaar karu ghi.. jaan se bhi zyaada importance doonghi meri Ragu ke khoon ko.

Ragini smiled..

Swara went away while Ragini thought about her words..

The next day..

Ragya and Khushi's birthday celebrations were going on..

Many kids were running here and there in the hall of Maheshwari's Mansion..

Khushi was introducing her friends to Ragya who was all excited..

All the Maheshwaris and Gadodias were present there..

Suddenly lights went off..

All looked around confused when..

A spotlight showed Ragini on the top of the stairs..

She was wearing a red and golden saree with her hair left open..

Everyone looked at her confused..

Swara smiled..

Laksh looked at Ragini furrowing his eyes..

Ragini started to come downstairs..

Ragini: Zindaghi ne hamesha hamare sath khela hai.. Ek choti si duniya thi hamari.. Papa aur Dadi ke sath.. phir aapne hamari zindaghi mai kadam rakhe.. Aapke sath hamne itna gehra rishta jor diya ki baaki sab rishtey bhool kar, ham sirf aapke khwaabo mai khoe rehte the.. aur voh khwaab pura karne ke liye hamne sab rishtey tor diye.. Hamari behan ka dil dukhaaya.. bohat galat kiya..

Swara's eyes welled up but she immediately wiped her tear and looked at Ragini smiling..

Ragini: Taqdeer ne hamare pyaar ki dor is tarah khichi thi ki voh sirf hamare hathoon mai reh gai thi.. Jiske sath yeh dor juri thi, usne isko torne ki bohat koshish ki.. lekin kismat se bhi koi bhaag sagta hai kya? Kahin baar ham ghire, kahin baar hamara dil tora gaya.. hamare pyaar ko to log pagalpan kehte the.. – she laughed a bit while tears were making their way.. Laksh's eyes welled up too..

Ragini came downstairs: Kya karti.. aapke pyaar mai aise deewani ho gai thi ki zamane ko bhool hi gai thi.. Zindaghi mai sirf aapka pyaar hi maanga tha.. aur akhir kar, mushkil sai hi sehi, voh mil hi gaya.. aur aapke pyaar ke sath, bohat sari khushyaan bhi.. magar voh zyaada dair tak ni tiki..

She looked down sadly..

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath..

Ragini: hmm.. moh moh ke dhaaagheeyyy..

Laksh looked at her stunned.. Ragini smiled a bit and looked at him..

Ragini: Yeh moh moh ke dhaage.. Teri ungliyon se ja uljhe..

Laksh recalled the party in which he sang this song for her..

Ragini: Koi toh toh na laage.. Kis tarah girah ye suljhe..

She kept walking towards Laksh..

Ragini: Hai rom rom iktaara.. Jo baadalon mein se guzre..

Swara placed her head on Sanskar's shoulder looking at Ragini and Laksh coming closer to each other..

Raginj: Yeh moh moh ke dhaage.. Teri ungliyon se ja uljhe.. Koi toh toh na laage.. Kis tarah girah ye suljhe

Ragini came in front of Laksh: Kya aapko lagta hai ki hamara pyaar itna hi kamzoor tha ki ek pal mai voh mohabbat ki dor ham chod de? Kya abh aap hamari sab galtyoon ki itni bada saza de ghe? Hamse itni narazghi hai? Pyaar to janam janam ka rishta hai na?.. itni aasani se badal jayega?

Tears were coming out from Laksh's eyes too.. he shook his head..

Ragini knelt down and raised an hand towards Laksh.. she looked at him with teary eyes: To phir yeh hath phirse pakad li jiye?..

Everyone smiled..

Laksh looked at Ragini..

Ragini held her ears still sitting on her knee: Maaf kar di jiye..

Laksh smiled while tears made their way on his cheeks..

He knelt down too hugging Ragini tightly..

They were finally covering the distance between them created in 5 years..

Ragya and Khushi clapped happily..

Swara saw them and started to clap too smiling followed by everyone..

Ragini and Laksh broke the hug..

Laksh cupped Ragini's face and wiped her tears..

He planted a kiss on Ragini's forehead..

Laksh: Ham mil kar ek nai khwaabon ki jannat sajaaye ghe.. pyaar ka ek nea sawera aayega.. aur is ghar mai sirf khushyaan hi khushyaan hoghi..

Ragini hugged him again crying loudly for happiness..

Laksh kissed on her head hugging her back..

Just then Ragya shouted: Maa! Papa! Hamara birthday hai! Thora smile kar ke celebrate kiya jaaye? Rote rote bhi koi khushyaan manaata hai?

Everyone laughed..

Ragini and Laksh broke the hug looking down and blushing..

Laksh stood up and offered his hand to Ragini.. Ragini held it and got up..

Ragya thought about something and her eyes brighted.. she ran upstairs..

After some minutes..

Ragini and Laksh were talking with Swara and Sanskar when Ragya came there.. she was hiding one hand

She tucked on Ragini's pallu..

Ragini looked at her: kya hua baby?

Ragya: Papa ne aapke liye ek gift liya tha.. vaise birthday is mine but I allow Papa to give the gift now..

Swara and Sanskar smiled while Ragini looked at Laksh confused

Laksh remembered the red bangles..

Ragya signed Ragini to come down.. and then did the same with Laksh..

Both Ragini and Laksh knelt near her..

Ragya showed the hand she was hiding till now..

Ragini got amazed seeing the red bangles.. she remembered Laksh and Raksha making her wear same bangles once.. and then she recalled how she broke them when she thought Laksh made Swara stay away from her with Sanskar..

She looked at Laksh who smiled..

Laksh to Ragya: Aap bhi pehnaye ghe?

Ragya nodded happily..

Laksh held Ragya's hands.. Ragya had the red bangles.. she held Ragini's hand.. and both Ragya and Laksh together made Ragini wear the bangles..

Today whole the family was truly happy..

Ragini and Laksh looked at each other with teary eyes..

"Shaam sawere dekhu tumko..

Kitna sundar roop hai.."

Uttara: Let's go now! It's cake time!!

Ragya: Yayy! Chalo Khushi! Cake kaat te hai!

Ragya ran to stand with Khushi in front of their cake..

Everyone went to stand behind them..

Laksh and Ragini held each other's hand and stood up going towards Ragya and Khushi together..

"Sang tumara thandi chaya..

Sari duniya dhoop hai.."

Swara: Bacchon abh jaldi se wish maango aur candles blow karo!

Khushi and Ragya closed their eyes and after a while both together blew on the candles..

"Mausam bhi rang badalte hai..

So deep nazar mai jalte hai.."

Ragya and Khushi together cut the cake while all the present clapped..

Ragya took a little piece of cake and turned towards RagLak, Khushi did the same turning towards SwaSan..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne.."

Ragini and Laksh knelt at Ragya's level and Ragya fed Ragini with the cake and then did the same with Laksh..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne"

Also Swara and Sanskar sat down and Khushi made them eat the cake..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne"

RagLak and SwaSan took respectevily a piece of cake.. and while Ragini and Laksh fed Ragya holding the piece together, also Swara and Sanskar fed Khushi with the piece they were holding..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne"

Khushi and Ragya exchanged their places and while Khushi went to feed RagLak, Ragya went to SwaSan..

Khushi and Ragya then took more cake.. Khushi went to give it to Sujata and Rp while Ragya went to Annapurna and Dp..

Ragini placed her head on Laksh's shoulder looking at them with a smile while they kept feeding also the rest of family..

"Saat samundar se bhi gehra..

Dekho apna pyaar hai"

Swara and Ragini looked at each other and smiled looking back at Khushi and Ragya who were feeding Sharmishta and Shekhar now..

Whole the family was laughing with whole heart that day.. truly happy..

"Is ghar mai har pal har din

Khushyoon ka sansar hai.."

Parineeta: Ek family photo ho jaaye?

Khushi and Ragya clapped happily jumping: Yayy!

Ragya ran to Ragini and Laksh, the latter picked her up while Ragini hugged both of them..

"Yeh jeevan acha lagta hai.."

Khushi went to Sanskar who picked her up.. Sanskar and Khushi looked at Swara who smiled and hugged them both..

"Yeh jeevan acha lagta hai.."

Sharmishta and Shekhar came between Swara and Ragini and Sharmishta put a hand on Ragini's head while Shekhar did the same with Swara..

Swara and Ragini both smiled..

"Har sapna saccha lagta hai.."

Dp and Annapurna stood near Laksh..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne.."

Sujata and Rp went near Swara and Sanskar..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne"

Parineeta and Adarsh came near Dp and Annapurna while Uttara went to Sujata and Rp..

"Jab tum aa jaate ho saamne"

Dadi went between Shekhar and Sharmishta and put a hand on their backs..

A photographer took their picture..

All had a true smile on their faces..

Ragini, who was hiding herself on Laksh's chest hugging him sideway, looked at him smiling.. Laksh, who had Ragya in his arms, looked down at her smiling back

THE END
