Jeene Ki Tammanah Hai (EP – 53)

Helllooooo Long Time Dears…..How have you been…….lets keep Hi Hellos for later and quickly jump into the story…….

ReCap: Sanskaar confesses his feelings to Swara

Swara felt pretty lifeless.Her dreams, to lie her life holding hands were now drowning. Tears drained

down her eyes. She sat down in her balcony, adjusting to the helplessness swallowing her life.She

lost him. Sanskaar, the love of her life…She did almost everything to rectify whatever went wrong on

her side, but alas…nothing worked

“What?? “She heard her brother screaming through phone. “ Oh My God , Laksh , What do we do

now??. Ayush was worried.

Swara stood behind the door and pierced her ear into her brother’s conversation with Laksh.

Meanwhile her Dadi came into the scene and stood near Ayush. As soon as Ayush cut the call, Dadi

inquired the details of his call.

“Dadi…. Bahot badi Ghadbat ho Gayi… After breaking his engagement with Shona, Sanskaar was

depressed. Laksh now called me and said that Sanskaar has messaged him something like “ I am

going to end it in Hoogli”, So Laksh is scared and is asking my help to find Sanskaar.” Ayush

explained.

Swara was petrified hearing about Sanskaar.

“Hey Maara Khattu Shyamji…. Jaldi Jao Ayush” Dadi pushed Ayush

“ Haan Dadi… I will Go. … Please make sure that Shona doesn’t hear anything about this.”Ayush said

as he sprinted towards the door.

Swara’s mind was clogged. She couldn’t think straight. So she quit thinking and ran towards her car

and drove.

—————————————–

As soon as she reached the the banks, she ran across, shouting Sanskaar’s name.Tears took no break

from her eyes. Her attention was caught somewhere, when she felt that something was drowning. She

lost all her breath.

“ SANSKAAAAR” She screamed and set her foot and jumped into the river, without thinking twice.

Once she touched the water , she remembered that ,she din’t know how to swim.She tried hard to

retain her breath and search for Sanskar. As she was loosing , She felt a clutch on her arm, and a

strong pull.She was out of the water and breathing.

She saw Sanskaar in front of her , gasping. Before she could fill her eyes with his face ,he landed a tight slap on her cheeks. She clutched her cheeks and looked at him in confusion…and pain.

“ Are You mad???” He screamed… “Don’t have value for your life….If something happens to you??

how will your family face it??? How could i bare it??” Swara looked at Sanskaar with shock

“I LOVE YOU DAMN IT” Sanskaar screamed and pulled into a hug….

Swara was totally clueless and heavily confused. But at that moment, she decided to take full

advantage of the position in which their body stood.

After a couple of moments Sanskaar released her and looked shy on his abrupt actions, trying to

hide his emotions. Swara had a twitch of smile on her lips and murmured. “ I dint come here to die…. I came to save you from dying…”

“ Excuse Me” Moments of confusion ran through Sanskaar’s face.

Swara explained the situations leading her to Hoogli, While Sanskaar gave a tip on how he happened to reach there. It din’t take them much to figure out who was responsible for this.

“ Searching for us ?? Anyone??” Ayush came in , along with Ragini and Laksh…

“ Whose idea was this??” Sanskaar asked in the most grim manner possible.

Ragini and Ayush comfortably pointed at Laksh. Laksh gave a puckish smile.

Sanskaar slowly paced towards Laksh and grabbed his collar. Ayush carefully escorted Ragini and Swara away from them.

“ You blo*dy Beggar” Sanskaar screamed and shook Laksh . “How dare you play such a game ??? If something happens to her??? You Know na she doesn’t know how to swim”

Laksh released himself from Sanskaar with great force. And slapped Sanskaar. That slap came major shock for Sanskaar and Swara. Before Sanskaar could recover, Laksh held him by his collar.

“You are concerned about Swara??? Now??” Laksh questioned Sanskaar.” You blo*dy dare to ask me questions??” Sanskaar was confused… wasn’t he supposed to be the victim of this scenario.

“ Laksh , please….” Swara shouted at Laksh. “ What are you doing.”

“ Oh you too Shut up” Laksh shot back..He caught Sanskaar by his elbow and walked towards Swara. He released her from Ayush and made her and Sanskaar together.

“How many years have you guys been secretly loving each other?” Laksh asked angrily .

Swara and Sanskar looked at each other, stole a glance and looked down.

“ HOW. MANY . YEARS??” Laksh shouted

Both of them were tight lipped.

“ Oh… nice Keep quiet now…You know what Aayush bhaiyya… The used to like each other from school days..” Laksh said to Aayush Bhaiyya.

Aayush was shocked and looked at Ragini who nodded positive in response.

“ Seriously Guys??” Ayush asked Swasan. Both of them slightly nodded.

“And the worst part is that they dint confess till today” Laksh said

“ I just told her now” Sanskaar raised his hand

“ Keep your mouth shut Sanskaar other wise i will whack you hard” Laksh warned

Ayush walked towards Swasan.

“What is this guys…you people are strong and smart individuals … Then why are you emotionally unstable… “ Aayush complained “ One grows suspicion about her friend’s wife and refuses to speak it out to them fearing that friend will be hurt and another breaks off engagement without thinking and gives moronic reasons like protecting her”

“ Aayush bhaiyya …” Swara interrupted “ Soumya manipulated me.. That’s why i couldn’t think straight” Swara justified

“ Ha she is right” Sanskar supported.

Aayush gave a ‘ they are impossible look’ to Laksh and Ragini and the next second he banged Swasan’s head hard.

Both Swara and Sanskaar writhed in pain

“Its not because Soumya manipulated you….its because you guys were fools. If you guys confessed your feelings earlier then things would have been better. “ Aayush complained. “ At least when your engagement was fixed you must have discussed your feelings. Then both of you would have got a space to keep your feelings, insecurities and misunderstandings”

“ Yup .. I too agree with you , Bhaiyya “ Laksh supported.

“ All thanks to Ragini for taking initiative to bringing you fools together” Aayush said smiling at Ragini. SwaSan looked at Ragini gratefully.

Ragini came forward facing Swasan and held Swara’s hands

“Swara… I am an orphan… I never had a properly bound family. We at orphanage pledged each other as our family just to keep us feel secured. It was strange for me to get married to big house like Maheshwari House. At that time even Laksh was not in good terms with me. It was Sanskaar, Maa and Paa who made me feel the warmth of a family. It was because of Sanskaar i got Laksh in my life.It was because of him I with the love of my life. Sanskaar was always a brother to me. So wanted the best in his life. That’s why i wanted you to be a part of our family… But technically I ruined it all…:”

“ No ragini… “ Swara denied. “It was because of my foolishness this got ruined”. Sanskaar too kept his hand on ragini’s hand and shook his head in negative.

“ No Ragini … You were never wrong” Aayush Bhaiyya said . “You did very well in uniting them … Even when these stubborn heads played denial” He hugged Ragini in a sweet way.

“ and I think we need to stop all these nonsense.” Laksh said. “ Guys… What is past is pat… so lets start it fresh….” Laksh pointed at SwaSan and said .” you guys… take your time and clear everything….. We have informed home and Ragini has kept your clothes in Sanskar’s car.. so change these wet clothes… and enjoy..”

“ What about my Car??” Swara asked in between her shy parade with Sanskar

“Where is your Key?” Ayush asked Swara

“ Oh My God… Bhaiyya I just lost my key…. In the river” Swara screamed

Everyone burst into laughing.

“ I have got spare key and i am taking your car home…so Go…” Aayush Bhaiyya prompted

“ And your Car??” Swara asked

“ I came with them… They picked me from home” … Aayush smirked

Ragini took Swara’s hand and kept it on Sanskar’s hand and said.. “My brother is all yours… forever sealed … Now Go”

Swara gave bone crushing hug to Ragini. Sanskar too joined them followed by Laksh and Ayush.

They released themselves from from the hug. SwaSan walked first towards Sanskar’s Car..

“ Guyss” Ragini called out… “ Do reach Swara’s home by 12 night.”

“ Ah I Forgot” Ayush said “ Do reach home by 12”

“ Why ?? Laksh asked…” you planning anything without me..”

“ Laksh… we are planning a surprise for them…” Ragini whispered

———————————————————–

Ragini was clever enough to exclude Laksh from planning the event. She had Papa to get a pseudo assignment for Laksh to avoid him from planning the event as this party is supposed to be a surprise to him too. Ragini coordinated with Aayush bhaiyya. He helped her with theme,decorations, gifts and family members.Phew… That was hell of an arrangement. Ragini was planning this event from months before.. But with the sudden turn of events she had to change location and the guest list.She was on her toe tip….fingers crossed….

—————————————————-

Laksh had a hectic day after Swasan Milan. Ragini and Aayush bhaiyya was planning a party for SwaSan and he was supposed to help them. But suddenly Papa gave him a work at office. And that made his day hectic. He wrapped up all his official commitments and reached Swara’s house by 11:55.

“ Phew… That was close..” Laksh sighed.

Laksh examined Swara’s house from outside… It was quiet… The party mood dint catch up yet.. Maybe SwaSan dint reach back yet. The Gadodia mansion was an architect’s magic.. He was about to enter the house, but held his way as he heard a car reach the gate and that was Sanskar’s car. Sanskar parked the car and SwaSan came to Laksh. Both seemed beaming, smiling or whatever we can keep for a couple who are very much in love…. Laksh was happy… Finally his brother is hitched. Swasan hugged Laksh

“ What is it Inside??” Sanskar inquired

“ I dont know Yaar… Got held up at office…” Laksh replied. “Lets check out together.

Swara, sanskar and Laksh walked into Gadodia mansion.

The Hallway was lit but as they entered the Hall it was dark

“ why is this dark??” Swara was confused..” Maa… Papa…” Swara called out

Suddenly the lights went on with a “Surprise” Scream’

Laksh saw his family, Swara’s family, Their Rider Friends, Badi Maa, Ruchha and Amrita. His gaze then shifted to long hanging scroll reading Happy Birthday Sanskar and Laksh….

He looked at Sanskaar who was equally shocked as he was and a semi shocked Swara.

Ragini was slowly walked towards Laksh and held his hand. Laksh was a bit dazed and dint know how to react… Same was for Sanskaar. Ragini nodded at Swara prompting her to lead Sanskaar. Ragini and Swara bought Laksh and Sanskaar to their family and friends….

Everybody took turns to wish the boys on their birthday. SanLak was happy and equally surprised. Mishti Ma Bought two cakes.. Fruit cake for Sanskaar and a Blueberry cake for Laksh. The boys began to cut their respective cake. Laksh cut his cake and gave the first bite to Ragini. Ragini looked at Sujatha who was happily asking her to accept his cake. Ragini smiled warmly and took a bite from his cake. And took the piece from him and fed him. Laksh wiped the tears who showed up in his eyes and hugged Ragini tightly.

Ragini separated from him and smiled brightly at him and asked him to feed others. Sanskaar also finished his first round of feeding cake and came to Ragini to feed her.

—————————————

The Cake eating session and the cream spread was done… The party had a a line dividing youngsters and oldies. The oldies also two sides where papa and Shekhar uncle was talking business while the ladies were hearing out Annapurna about a proposal for Amrita.

While at the youngsters Sanskar was introducing Swara to Rider Friends .Ragini pulled Amrita and Rucha to a corner and asked them

“ Did you find out something on that guy who came and troubled Badi maa quoting my name” Ragini inquired

Rucha and Amrita looked at each other in a worried manner.

“ Ragini…. I think you should stop thinking about it as it is sorted…” rucha said

Ragini gave a confused look at Rucha..

“ See that man was a mad guy… He was the person who gave you to Badi Maa …. Now he wants you back….he mistakes u for a doll… Mental hospital people came and captured him” Ragini was not satisfied with the answer. And Rucha understood it

“ See Ragoo we misunderstood their conversation actually” Ammu Explained.

“ Guyss” Laksh called from behind “ Can I get my wife for a bit” He passed a request

———————————-

Laksh offered a fruit juice to Ragini… and made her seat on a sofa. She smiled at him and started sipping her juice..

“ I love you Raghu “ Laksh’s words caught Ragini off guard.

“ I love you too Laksh” Ragini reciprocated

“ I actually forgot about our Birthday as we stopped celebrating it after Uttara’s death…. But Today I feel happy with all these people who loves us around us…. Celebrating Us…” Laksh’s words underlined his gratefulness towards Ragini..

“ You both are our life and we will celebrate this every year from now on…” Ragini promised

“ and we have another surprise too…..” Ragini winked at Laksh

Laksh looked at Ragini “ Now what more???” Laksh asked with a smile acting as if he was tired…

“ Wait and see Hubby…..”Ragini smirked
