Chapter 5

All the Maheshwari's left for Manali by train.

Once reached the place..

Laksh and Ragini, who was holding both Swe and Raksha's hands, came out of the train and as soon as Ragini put her foor down on the platform, on the other side Swara, who was drying her hair with a towel in her room, turned around as she felt like someone was calling her.. Swara ran to look out through the window... she looked down seeing everything calm: Aisa kyu lag raha hai.. jaise ki koi apna paas aa raha hai..

Meanwhile..

Ragini was feeling uneasy too.. she looked here and there..

Laksh noticed it and asked: Kya hua Ragini?

Ragini: Pata nehi Laksh.. aisa lag raha hai ki yahan kuch bohat zaroori hai hamara..

Sanskar heard her and said in between: Hai na.. meeting to zaroori hai..

Just then Ragini felt someone pulling her hand while walking.. it was Raksha..

Raksha: Mama Mama.. yeh vohi jagah hai na yaha bohat sari snow ghirti hai?

Ragini: haan baby... yaha bohat sari snow hoti hai..

Raksha: Iska matlab ham snowman banaye ghe na Mama?

Ragini: haan kyu nehi.. ham sab mil kr ek bada sa snowman banaye ghe..

Swe: Mein nehi khelu ghi snow ke sath... phir agar thand lag gai to shopping kaise jaye ghe?! Aur hame bohat sari shopping karni hai.. hai na Mom?!

Ragini laughed lightly: Bilkul.. ham apni dono princess ke liye nae nae khilone aur kapde lenghe!

The Maheshwari's came out of the train station.. there was snow all over on the road..

They were admiring the landscape when..

Uttara: Churiya!!! - she held Parineeta's elbow and indicated a stall of "churiya" (glass bangles) - Bhabhi chalo na... dekho kitni sundar hai!

Parineeta: Uttara abhi to ham aaye hai.. kall shopping karley ghe..

Swe pulled Ragini's hand: Mom mujhe bhi churiya chahi hai! Please Mom!

Ragini: Beta abhi..

Sujata: Arey le len do na chori ko churiya.. vaise bhi bohat hi sundar hai.. mein bhi dekh hi leti hu!

They went to the stall and started to look at the bangles..

Swe chose some of her size and asked to Ragini: Mom mujhe yeh chahi hai! Pehna do na!

Ragini smiled and knelt near her to make her wear the bangles..

Raksha was looking some bangles but they were not of her size... Laksh noticed it and went towards her: Arey beta.. aap yeh wali kyu dekh rahe ho... yeh to aapke chotey chotey hathoon mai nehi aaye ghi...

Raksha: Papa aap Mama ko yeh di jiye na... - she showed some red bangles to Laksh - Mama ko red color bohat pasand hai.. aap unhey gift karey ghe to unhey bohat asha laghey ga..

Laksh smiled and picked her up pulling her cheek softly: Agar ham dono unhey gift karey ghe to Mama ko zyaada asha laghey ga...

Raksha smiled and Laksh paid for the bangles..

After making Swe wear the bangles Ragini turned: Raksha aapne kya liya?

She saw Laksh putting Raksha, who was hiding something behind her back, on the ground and kneeling behind her.. Raksha innocently made a gesture to Ragini to ask her to come at her hight and Ragini curiously knelt in front of her..

Ragini: Haan beta kya hua?

Raksha: Mama aaj mene aur Papa ne aapke liye ek gift liya hai!

Ragini: Asha?.. dikhaye zara..

Raksha looked at Laksh with an innocent smile and took out the bangles.. Ragini's eyes brighted seeing them..

Raksha forwarded a hand: Mama hath do..

Ragini gave her the hand smiling... Laksh held the other hand of Raksha and both of them held the bangles and made Ragini wear them.. Ragini looked in Laksh's eyes and saw that also he was looking at her with a smile on his lips... Ragini looked again down smiling and blushing..

Swe was watching all this and got angry.. she turned and saw Sanskar talking at the phone... she angrily went towards him and pulled his jacket.. Sanskar noticed her and covered her phone with a hand saying: Swe important call hai.. aap apni Mom ke paas jao!

Swe: Nehi! Aap kyu nehi Mom ke paas jaatey?! Aap mere Dad ho to Mom chotey Papa ke sath kyu hamesha rehti hai?!

Sanskar: Swe mene bola na important call hai! - he turned to talk again while Swe looked at him angrily crossing her arms.

Meanwhile Ragini kissed Raksha's forehead cupping her face: Apka gift hame bohat pasand aaya..

She stood up and Laksh went beside her whishpering in her ear: Vaise gift to meri taraf sai bhi tha.. lekin return gift sirf beti ko hi kyu mila?

Ragini slowly said: chup! - then she looked again at Raksha - Abh Mama aapko gift de sagti hai kya? Aapko konsi churiya pasand hai?

Raksha: Vohi jo aapko ashi laghey!

Ragini smiled and looked at the stall again.. after thinking a while she chose some little blue bangles and knelt to make Raksha wear them.. she held her hand and was about to put the bangles on Raksha's wrist when Swe came and held Ragini's hand: Mom mujhe bohat bhook lag rahi hai.. chalo na ghar chalte hai!!

Ragini: Ek minute beta ham bas..

But Swe interrupted her: Mom bohaatt bhook lag rahi hai.. chaliye na! - she dragged Ragini with her and Raksha's hand got removed from Ragini's one while the bangles fell from Ragini's grip and got broken..

Laksh saw Raksha looking at the broken bangles and then at Swe dragging Ragini with her... Laksh picked Raksha in his arms: Aap bura mat maan na... aapko pata hai na aapki behan thodi si ziddi hai.. lekin koi baat nehi.. aapko return gift mein de daita hu.

Raksha: Lekin Mama ne to return gift de diya!

Laksh: Konsa?

Raksha: Vohi jo aapko nehi diya... - Laksh furrowed his eyebrows.. Raksha smiled and planted a quick soft kiss on his forehead..

Laksh: Raksha ki bacchi! Papa ko tang kar rahi ho?..

Raksha chuckled and then held her little ears: Sorry..

Laksh smiled recalling how Ragini used to hold her ears to ask sorry..: Chalo.. ek aur kissi do to Papa maaf kardey ghe..

Raksha planted a quick kiss on his cheek and then Laksh followed Ragini and Swe with Raksha in his arms..

Later... in RagLak car..

Ragini was sitting next to Laksh while Swe and Raksha were on the back seats..

Raksha was glued to the window to admire the landscape..

Laksh: To princesses ko Manali kaisi lag rahi hai? Maza aa raha hai?

Raksha: Papa yeh bohat ashi jagah hai.. aapko pata hai yaha bohat sare mandir bhi hai!

Laksh: To kall mandir dekhne jaane ka plan hai?

Swe: Nehi! Ham kall mall jaaye ghe aur der sari shopping karey ghe! Mom ne promise kiya hai ki mujhe new dresses and toys le kr de ghi! Hai na Mom?

Ragini: Lekin baby kall to aapkey papa aur chotey papa ki meeting hai.. kall kaise jaaye ghe? Ham phir kabhi chaley jaye ghe na shopping karne sath sath.. kall ham aapki Dadi Maa, Badi Dadi Maa, Uttara Chachi aur Parineeta Chachi ke sath mandir jaate hai na..

Swe: Nehi Mom apne promise kiya tha ki ham mall jaaye ghe!

Ragini was about to say something when Laksh asked her: Ragini don't worry.. bacchey shopping karna chahte hai to mein tum teeno ko kall mall mai chod doonga meeting se pehle.. mandir phir kabhi chaley jaana..

Raksha: Haan Mama please maan jaye na!

Ragini: Tum baap betyiaan na.. thik hai! Ham kall mall chaley jaaye ghe!

Swe&Raksha: Yayy!

The next day..

Laksh dropped Ragini and the kids at the mall..

Laksh: Take care bacchon.. Mama ko tang mat karna aur khub sara maza karna... and Ragini.. mein 4.30 pm bhajey lene aa jau ga!

Laksh was giving recommendations to Ragini and the kids when a taxi passed near them...

It stopped some metres far from their car.. and Swara came out..

She paid the drive while Ragini held Raksha and Swe's hands and started to walk towards the mall...

Swara went towards the mall too...

The mall had two entering doors... Ragini led towards the front door talking with Raksha and Swe while Swara took the back one while talking on the phone..

As soon as both of Swaragini stepped inside the mall they stopped walking and talking... both Ragini and Swara felt something weird.. they put a hand on the chest feeling restless..

"kya bebasi hai yeh, kya majbooriyan.."

Both looked around.. but then calmed themselves and started to walk again..

"Ham paas hai.. phir bhi kitni hai dooriyaan.."

Ragini was talking with Swe and Raksha and didn't notice Swara passing near her.. Swara was looking down as she was busy with her phone when she hit Ragini's shoulder with hers passing beside her..

Ragini stopped immediately..

Swara felt something but as soon as she turned to ask sorry Swe pulled Ragini's hand taking her attention and Swara saw only her back..

She raised her shoulders and Swaragini started to walk again.. both in the opposite directions..

"Milke bhi na mile, yeh hai kaisa bharam.."

Swara looked at some shoes in a shop window... on the glass there was Ragini's reflect while she was laughing with Swe and Raksha... but Swara didn't notice it and walked away from the shop window..

"Yeh hai tere karam, kabhi khushi kabhi gham.."

Later..

Ragini, Swe and Raksha were in a candy shop when Ragini bowed to Swe: Baby aap zara yaha counter me rukiye.. ham abhi aaye ok?.. aap hilna mat..

Swe nodded..

Ragini to the counter lady: Please aap hamari bacchi ka dihaan rakkhna.. ham abhi ek minute mai aaye...

Ragini held Raksha's hand and went with her to a pendant shop..

Here they bought a golden heart shaped pendant which can open...

Raksha was happily looking at it while Ragini was kneeling near her and was opening it to put inside a little picture of RagLak with Raksha..

Ragini made Raksha wear it: baby is pendent ko kabhi nehi utarna.. is tran Mama Papa hamesha apkey sath rahein ghe.. – she placed a hand on Raksha's cheek – beta yaad rakkhna.. zindaghi mai agar kuch bhi decision lena ho.. kuch bhi karna ho.. to is dil ki sun na.. – she placed a hand on raksha's chest – aur agar tab bhi koi raasta na mile to is dill ko zoor se pakdna – she held the pendent on Raksha's neck – aur aankhein band kr ke hame aur aapkey Papa ko yaad karna..har mushkil aasan ho jaye ghi..kyu ki ham aur aapke papa hamesha yaha rahe ghe..

Raksha: par Mama.. mere liye to aap aur papa yaha bhi – she indicated her heart – aur abh yaha bhi rehte hai – she indicated the pendent.. – hamesha..

Ragini smiled with wet eyes and hugged her..

On the other hand..

Swe was looking at the different candles.. she tasted one but then splitted it out.

Swe: yuckk! Yeh kitni gandi candy hai!

The counter lady gave her another candy but Swe threw it on the floor only after looking at it..

Counter lady: beta aap aisa nehi kar sagti.. mein aapko dusri dai daiti hu..

Swe: yeh sab bohat gandi hain. Aur mujhay koi pasand nehi aai..

Swe angrily was about to throw the candy on the counter lady's face when someone held her wrist and stopped her..

The someone came in front of Swe.. it was Swara: aapko tameez nehi hai?! Yeh koi tareeka hai baro sai baat karnay ka?

Swe: mein jaisay marzi baat karo. Inkay paas koi achi candy nehi hai aur mujhay bs best hi chai hai!

Swara: apkey parents kaha hain? Aise kis tran bol rai ho? Apko pata hai wo apsay kitni bari hain? Manners nehi hai aap mai?

Swara to counter lady: kiski bacchi hai?

Counter lady: ma'am iski Mom iski sister kai sath dusri shop mai gai hai.. ap fikar mat karein ill manage. ..

Swara looking at swe: itni choti si age mai itni batameez hai baray hokai kia karay gi? Aur kaisay maa baap hain, specially kaisi maa hai.. apni bachi ko tameez seekhana bhol gai!

Swe: aap meri mom ko kuch mat kahiye warna

Swara: agar tum meri beti hoti na toh iss batameezi pai kheench kai thapar marti. Behave yourself.

At this words Swe's eyes got filled with tears.. Swara felt her heart aching seeing her crying.. she was about to calm her but her phone rang..

On call: ma'am aek important news hai. Maheshwari family is in Manali.

Swara got stunned.. she went immediately out of the shop..

At the same time Ragini came with Raksha.. she saw Swe crying and got surprised.. Swe ran to hug her complaining: Mom us.. us gandi wali aunty ne mujhe daanta!

Ragini: danta?

She looked at the counter lady: kisnay danta hamari Swe ko? Ham usko yahan apky paas chor kai gai thi na. Aisay kaisay koi bhi hamari beti ko dant sakta hai?

Counter lady: madam apki daughter thori rude horai thi toh..

Ragini: rude horai thi toh kia? Koi bhi usko dantay ga. Mujhy abhi isi wakt uss lady sai milna hai unki himat kaisay hui!

Ragini to swe: baby ap chup hojao mom agai hai na. Mom us aunty ko dantein ghi..

Ragini went out of the shop to find who scolded Swe.. but till then Swara was already near the main door..

Later..

Laksh came to take Ragini and the kids and in the car Ragini told him what happened..

Laksh put an arm around Ragini's shoulders: don't worry Ragini... it's ok.. dekho.. usne Swe par hath to nehi uthaya na.. aur thoda sa daanta hi to hai..

Ragini: Laksh swe bacchi hai! Us sai galti ho gai aur us lady ne itna daanta!

Laksh: Ragini relax.. voh konsa roz aa kr Swe ko daantne wali hai.. vaha bol diya hoga kuch aur phir apne raaste chali gai.. tum bhi abh fiqar mat karo.. dekho. . Abh tak to Swe khud is haste ko bhool gai hoghi..

Ragini nodded but not so convinced..

At swara's place..

Swara came in her room and angrily opened a drawer.. she took some photos.. her and sanskar's photos.. she threw them on the ground in rage and lighted a match.. she Burned all the pictures..

Swara: bs sanskaar ab bohat hogya ab bohat jald har raaz sai parda uthay ga aur phir dekhtay hn kai kaun barbaad hoga. Aj mai iss kabil hoon kai apnay liye apni behan keliye sabkai liye larr sako. Mai arai hoon bohat jald..

The next morning.. in Maheshwari's rest house:

Sanskar decided to take Raksha and Swe out and was going towards the door talking with them..

Swe: Dad! Dad! Aaj ham kaha jaaye ghe?

Sanskar: Aaj ham Manali ka famous street food khane jaaye ghe..

Raksha: Bade Papa Mama hamare sath kyu nehi aa rahi?

Sanskar: kyu ki aaj.. – He knelt near her holding her hands – aap aapke Bade Papa ke sath masti karey ghe..

Just then Ragini came: Sanskar are you sure aap akele hi bacchon ke sath chaley jaaye ghe?

Sanskar stood up looking at the other side: Tumne hi to bola tha.. mujhe bacchon ko zyaada time dena chahi hai..

Saying this he held Swe and Raksha's hands and went away..

Ragini looked at them from behind feeling restless..

After a while.. in Sanskar's car:

Swe shouted: Dad mujhe voh chahi hai!! – she indicated a stall of street food..

Sanskar stopped the car: bacchon aap yaha rahi hai.. mein abhi le kr aata hu..

He went out of the car..

Sanskar was waiting for the food to be ready when three men came near his car without making noise..

They fastly opened the car's doors .. Raksha and Swe got scared but before they could scream the men covered their mouths with hands and took them out of the car.. they ran away with Raksha and Swe who were trying to scream..

Sanskar came back with two plates.. he put them on the car roof and opened the door: Bacchon chal.. – He saw the car empty.. Sanskar got shocked – Swe! Raksha!

He looked around..

Sanskar: Swe! Raksha!! - He didn't receive any response..

Sanskar ran here and there looking for Raksha and Swe and shouting their names.. He asked to some people: Apne choti choti do bacchyion ko dekha? Us ghadi sai nikalte hue? 6 saal ki?..

No one could help him..

Sanskar passed a hand on his hair worried..

Later..

Sanskar came back at the rest house and saw Ragini roaming here and there..

Ragini saw him and ruined towards him: Sanskar asha hua aap vapis aa gaye.. mann mai ajeeb sa darr tha.. Laksh keh rahe the ki bacchon sai zyaada dair tak dur nehi rahi na is liye.. lekin Swe or Raksha hai kaha?..

Sanskar kept to look down..

She looked behind of Sanskar calling: Raksha?! Swe?! Sanskar kaha hai yeh dono?.. – she shouted again – Swe?! Raksha?!

The family came in the hall hearing Ragini's voice..

Annapurna: beta kya hua?

Ragini: Maa kuch nehi.. lagta hai ki Swe aur Raksha hame tang kr rahe hai is liye bahar nehi aa rahe.. Swe! Raksha! Beta bahar aa jao.. Mama baad mai khele ghi aapke sath..

Sanskar slowly said looking down: voh nehi aaye ghi..

Ragini turned towards him while everyone looked at him confused..

Laksh: Bhai tumara matlab kya hai? Raksha aur Swe to tumare sath gai thi na ?

Sanskar: voh.. voh mein Swe aur Raksha ko ghadi mai chod kr khane ke liye lene gaya.. lekin jab vapis ghadi mai aaya to..

Ragini came in front of Sanskar: to..

Sanskar: to Raksha aur Swe vaha nehi the..

All got shocked.. Parineeta looked at Rajat.. Ragini backed off bumping with Laksh who held her by shoulders..

Sujata: chore yeh kya ke raha hai?! Aise kaise choryiaan kahi chali gai!

Sanskar: mene sab jagah dekh liya... logo ko pucha.. lekin..

Ragini held his collar: Sanskar aap itne careless kaise ho sagte ho!! Hamne socha ki aap apni responsabilities ko to puri kartey ho lekin aap to!! Ap to hamari bacchyioon ka dihaan bhi nehi rakh paaye!

She left him stepping back: Hamari betyiaan.. kaha hoghi.. kis halat mai.. – Laksh tried to calm her hugging her.. He had teary eyes too..

Ragini cried: Laksh hame hamari betyiaan chahi hai!!.. Swe to hamare bina ek minute bhi nehi rehti hai aur Raksha kisi ajnabee ko dekh kr itna dar jaati hai! Voh hame bhula rahi hoghi! Hame unkey paas jaana hai! Hame hamari betyiaan chahi hai!

Laksh glared at Sanskar: yeh tumne asha nehi kiya Bhai.. itna irresponsable kaise ho sagta hai tu..

Sanskar kept looking down..

On the other hand..

The kidnappers were taking Raksha and Swe with them holding their shoulders tightly.. Raksha and Swe were crying loudly..

Man1: chup! Zyaada shor machaya na to dekh laina!

Raksha and Swe lowered their volume scared..

The kidnappers were discussing and apparently were waiting for someone when the one who was holding Swe screamt as Swe bit his hand..

He left Swe and she ran away.. the one who was holding Raksha left her seeing Swe running away..

Raksha ran away too but in the opposite direction of Swe..

Later..

In Maheshwari's rest house..

Ragini was sitting in the hall lifeless with the others while Laksh and Sanskar were talking to the police..

Just then Ragini heard: Mom!!!

Ragini immediately looked on and saw Swe standing at the door with some Police officers..

Ragini stood up: Swe.. – she ran towards her while Swe ran to hug Ragini..

Ragini hugged Swe tightly filling her head with kisses: Swe!.. hamari bacchi!..

She broke the hug and looked behind Swe... then at her: beta.. Raksha kaha hai?..

Swe didn't reply and hugged Ragini again crying loudly and sobbing..

Laksh went towards the officers who came with Swe and Ragini too walked towards them with Swe in her arms while trying to calm her..

Laksh: Sir. . Raksha kaha hai?

Officer: i am sorry mr. Maheshwari .. hame sirf yehi mili.. aur bacchi bohat dari hui thi is liye hame bata nehi paai ki kisne inko kidnap kiya tha aur kaha le kr gaye.. to ham sida unhey yaha le aaye..

Laksh and Ragini looked at each other worried.. tears were rolling down from Ragini's eyes who hid her face in Swe's shoulder..

Meanwhile..

Raksha was running away from the kidnappers and suddenly dashed into someone.. She looked up.. it was Swara.. Raksha hugged her around her waist crying..

Raksha: Mama ke paas jaana.. Mama ke paas jaana!

Swara knelt near her trying to calm her but Raksha hugged her tightly crying as she was scared..

Swara: kya hua beta? Aap itna ro kyu rahe ho?.. chup ho jaao beta..

She broke the hug and Raksha's pendant got entrangled with Swara's chain.. it got opened..

Episode ends with camera on RagLak&Raksha's picture in the pendant entrangled with Swara's chain..

Precap:

The return of Swara.
