Sanskar opened his eyes and found Ragini sleeping like a small kid and he could not help but admire her more. He felt the sunlight falling over her face directly. He slowly lifted her head a bit so that he can drag his shoulder. It sure had become numb but he did not mind. He placed Ragini’s head gently back on the pillow and she moved a bit in her sleep. He patted her shoulder a bit so that she doesn’t wake up and kissed her forehead while she smiled with her closed eyes. He moved out of the bed…

Shekar was in his own world when Sumi placed the tray in front of him. He moved his eyes and realized that he was in his thoughts. “Are you okay?” Sumi asked concerned. “How  can a father be okay Sumi whose two daughters are going through so much. One is adamant arguing her love is right and the other adamant to protect her sister. What has happened to our kids?” he looked at her helplessly. “Shona is thinking she will save Ragini staying in Maheshwari Mansion. But from whom is she trying to save her sister. She is in her…

****Past***** Sumi’s eyes dropped more tears as she looked at her kids. They were facing the opposite but crying equally. It squeezed her heart more. “Sumi” she heard that soothing voice. “Everything will be alright” Shekar assured her and she hugged him. “Promise?” she asked and Shekar tightened his hold on her shoulder. “Promise” he kissed her forehead. “Maa” little Vikram spoke and she came out of the hug and knelt in front of him. “What happened to Bacha and Lado?” he asked innocently. “They are fine baby. Just some injections and they will be alright” Sumi kissed his forehead.…

Laksh’s hand just touched the bag when he heard Shekar’s voice from the other side. “Laksh” Shekar spoke. Laksh brought himself out of the car and closed the door so that it locks itself. The Kalash appeared out of it but Laksh had passed the car. “Baba. You had the medicines?” he asked. “Haa. I was about to go to sleep” Shekar replied. “Okay. Sleep well. I will be there in some time” Laksh disconnected the call and walked forward to reach his car. He drove his car to reach the guest house of the hospital where he and Shekar…

*Words in bold and italics are flashback The doctor injected Ragini and Sanskar squeezed his eyes not able to look at it. The doctor closed his kit and was ready to leave. He looked at the curios faces of Rawat family member and gave them a formal smile. “Nothing  to worry. This kind of things are normal in pregnancy” his words shocked everyone except one. Sanskar stood numb. “Thank you doctor” Kishan took the kit and helped the doctor to move out of RagSan room. All waited for Sanskar’s response. But he was just staring at Ragini blankly. “Oh my…

Ragini ran to her room. She was shivering and her face was brimmed with tears. She controlled the pain in her throat and walked inside to reach her husband. “Sanskar” she said and looked at him. His calm face made her stop herself. She sat in front of him covering her mouth and stopped herself from bursting into a bitter cry. She looked at him helplessly and closed her eyes as tight as much she could to control the pain. The nerve on her side head grew and made it difficult for her to even breath. She swallowed hard and…

Avantika was all worried. She looked at the red light on the operation theater. “Maa” she heard Ragini’s voice and turned in that direction. “Thank God you came” Avantika hugged Ragini. “Where is Yohan?” asked she. “He is inside” she said worry just increasing on her face. “Ohho who let him go inside maa. You know he will scare her more” Ragini caressed her forehead. “You ladies just need reason to worry is it?” Sanskar who came there held Ragini’s both the shoulders and made her sat on the chair. “And it is not good for your health to worry…

When Ragini was in her sleep still just some minutes away from waking up she had this strange feeling. ‘It will be a dream’ she spoke in her mind. She will soon here the chime of Mandir bells and that aroma of freshly lit incense sticks will reach her nostrils. And her mother’s shrill calling her name will be just a minute away now. It wasn’t easy for her to believe what happened yesterday. It was too unreal. “Ragini” she heard a soft mumble. Her eyes drifted near knitting her eye brows. She wasn’t sure she heard that voice. “Ragini”…

Sumi was busy arranging Vikram’s room. “Yeh ladka bhi na. Hope Sriti comes home soon. I can’t handle this more” she murmured while she arranged the bed sheets. “Maa” that word and the voice made her feel more alive suddenly. She stopped her work and stood numb. A tear tripped her eye fearing may be it was just her dream. She did not wanted her heart to break again like every time she feels she heard her voice but she was never really there. She did not had the courage to face it. Vikram held her shoulders and she jerked…
