Life partner… SS… Part 7

Ragini’s pov… (the day when sanskar realized)
It’s been 3 days… I don’t know where is shona… My baby… Yes she is my baby… I brought up her… Shomi ma left us after giving her birth… I fed her… Makes her sleep… For the first time she is so far from me… What’s her fault if she is not normal… Fault was mine… She became like this for me… I am the reason…
Laksh didn’t came since 3 days… I am waiting for him… One news… Just one news of my baby… Please god keep her safe… I took our photo from side table and cares her face…

Suddenly laksh storms in the room… I look at him with hopeful eyes… He comes in front of me…
Laksh (happy tears) : ragu… I have found doll…
I: where… Where is she… Why didn’t you take her…
Laksh : sanskar left her in srirampur mental asylum… We just got the information… We have to go there…
‘srirampur mental asylum ‘ i whisper this… And the black past comes in front of my eyes… My heart skips a bit…
Pov ends… Flashbacks…
A girl around 18 coming from school in bicycle… She is paddling with fulforce… She looks at something… She stops her cycle with break…
She looks a the huge car… Ambulance type… From a small window 2 small hands are extended… And crying face of a little girl shown…
‘ di… ‘ the small girl said between her crying…
‘ shona ‘ the girl whisper… She comes in sense and shouts’ hey stop ‘…

She starts to follow the car with her bicycle only… But She again stops with jerk seeing her grandmother in front of her guarding her…
Ragini : dadima… Please go away…
But dadi smirks and holds her hand and starts to drag her…
Dadi: chal lado…
Ragini : ma who were they… Why they took shona…
Dadima (while dragging in the big hall) : they took her at her right place… In mental asylum… No need to worry…
Ragini just shocked and numb…
She jerks her hand and push her… Dadima falls on sofa…
Ragini : ???how dare you to send my daughter there… Whom you ask before sending her…
Dadima : have you gone nuts… She is your step sister lado… Who snatch…
Ragini (shows her hand) : ✋ stop there… I don’t want any damn explanation.. For you i lost my 2nd mother also… Now you want to snatch my shona… My baby… Listen mrs parbati gadodia. . She is my baby.. I brought up her… And just stay away from her… Tell me which hospital…
Dadima was numb… Ragini took a knife from fruit basket and hold on her wrist.. : tell me dadima or i will cut my hand …
Parbati (scared) : srirampur mental asylum…
Ragini takes car keys and rush there. .

Ragini enters in the hospital : shona… Baby… Where are you… Look your di came… Shonaaa…
She shouts looking here and there and walking in the corridor… Ragini goes to head office…
Ragini : swara gadodia… Which room??
Head doctor gives her a annoying look… : look… It’s not visiting hou…
Before he complete ragini slaps on the table…
Ragini : i asked which room..???(shouts top of her voice)…
Doctor : look girl…
Ragini : Ragini… Ragini gadodia… Elder daughter of Shekhar gadodia… Just tell me or i will ask papa to buy this asylum and kick you out…
All knows Shekhar gadodia is very ruthless business man lives in delhi…
The man gulps in fear…
Ragini : speak up…
The man immediately calls some nurses… Ragini goes with the nurse and came to a room…
Ragini shocked to unconscious little swara of only 8 years… Some deep blue marks either sides of her temple…
Ragini : what is this… What did you all do with her…
Nurse : wo mam… Parbati mam told us to give her shock therapy… So… And she was not listening any… Thing
Ragini takes back : are you all insane… You apply shock therapy for this child… How could you do this…
She cried and took swara in lap… She picks up her… And turns to them…
Ragini : if she doesn’t become same as earlier again…. I will finish you all… ??
She says with blood shot eyes and left…
At home…
Ragini : if you ever try to do this things again i will kill myself dadima… And i mean it…
She goes to her room carrying swara…
Swara was so afraid… She becomes normal after 3 mnths only for ragini…
Fb ends…
Laksh shook Ragini : ragu what happened…
Ragini looks at laksh and holds his hand : we have to go right now… If anything happens to her… It’s already been 3 days she is there… ???
Please chalo laksh…
Laksh : ok i will go… You stay here…
Ragini : no no please… I wanna go please…
Laksh looks at her restless fearful teary eyes… And nodes in yes… Both goes to hospital…
Some nurses and staff recognized ragini… Laksh ask the head about swara…
Head : swara??? (he starts to shiver)… Yyyyou also came to find her (he gulps in fear and stammers)…
Raglak looks at each other…

Ragini : where is she tell me…
Head: look… We discharged her today afternoon only… Her husband took her…
He wipes his sweat… Suddenly raglak heard sound of police van… Raglak comes out… Laksh goes to police officers…
Laksh : sir what happened…
Police : oh mr maheshwary you here??
Laksh : han wo my sister in law is admitted here… But why you…
Ragini sees police are taking nurses and staffs by beating… She also goes to laksh…
Police : don’t you know… These are inhuman… They used to sell mentally unstable girls… And also give them drugs… If anyone try to elope they use shock therapy also…
Ragini shouts no and clutch laksh’s hand…
Laksh : ragu don’t worry… Nothing will happen to doll… She will be fine…
Ragini :lllaaakssh… Shona… She…
Ragini can’t say anything… Police comes with the head… Laksh hold his collar…
Laksh : tell me what did you do with swara… Tell me…
Head : i am telling truth her husband took her today afternoon only…
Ragini looks at laksh… Laksh beats him… Police stops her…
Police : sir we Will make him tell the truth… Please leave…
Ragini cries miserably… But suddenly she feels pain in her stomach…She shouts… And after sometime she faints… Laksh Immediately takes her to hospital…
At hospital…
Doctor : what is this mr maheshwary… She is not even 1 week pregnant and she is taking so much stress… If she continues this then i am. Sorry to say you both will loose your child… Make her happy… Give her what she want.. She should be happy and stress free… She is not even eating properly… We are admitting her for today… Tomorrow we will live her…
Laksh sits on floor witg thud… He is so helpless… What will he do… Nothing is in his hand… He cries…

Next day…
Ragini all numb… Laksh tells her everything but she has no effect… Laksh cries…
Ragini’s pov…
I know i am pregnant… The day we got the news laksh was so happy… He was dancing like a child… I never thought to have my own baby… When i saw swara with sanskar happily i thought to concentrate in my own life… My laksh… We takes our relationship forward… Everything was so perfect… But everything messed up… How can be i kepp myself happy… My shona is my daughter… How could i neglect my child for another child who have not even born… I know baby… I am doing wrong with you… Your mamma is very bad… But what can i do baby… You tell na… What can i do… But i will try to give you same attention… I promise i will eat properly… But how Can be i happy…
It’s almost 6 pm…
Laksh and i came from hospital… Laksh didn’t tell maheshwarys anything… He just informed that they will not return home at night… As soon as we enter house… We saw some guests… Umm who is she… Kavita right??… Han i saw her before also…
Sujata: this is our elder son and his wife… Laksh Ragini…
We greet them with fake smile…
Sujata: they came for sanskar… We have fixed sanskar’s merriage with kavita…
I felt disgusted… I look at everyone… Papaji and ma bent their head…
Laksh : ma… Papa… We made a decision… We will not live here anymore… And we will leave today itself…
Saying this without giving any chance to speak anyone laksh drags me to the upstairs…
I was sitting all numb… Laksh was packing our stuffs… I saw he is crying… His eyes and nose is red… I went to him and stopped him doing packing…
Laksh cries hugging me…
Laksh : i am sorry Ragini… I never know my family is so heartless…
I don’t know what to say… For the 1st of my life i am feeling like i am bounded from all side… Someone caged me in a small room… There is no door… Nothing…
We finish our packing and was about to go downstairs but shocked to see sanskar’s out brust… A ray hope came…did that bustard head doctor say truth??
Pov ends…
Sanskar : mom for you… For you… I was so happy… Yes i agree i married her for bhai… I can’t see him in that state… I thought swara is the reason of his Pain… If i take her away… He will be happy… And i succeed… But i can’t realize when swara mix with my life…
He looks towards raglak…
Sanskar runs to him…
Sanskar : bhai… I told you na time will never stop for anyone… All will move on… But bhai… My time stopped… Swara’s memory chasing me everywhere… That room… I can’t stay there… Every corner of that room is filled with swara’s memory… Bhai this 3 days… There is not any single second that i didn’t think about her… I was so happy mom… I totally forgot that i have to leave her oneday… If you didn’t remind me… Toh shayed i never ever leave her… But i left her… I thought she is nothing to me… But the fact is in this one month she became everything for me… And i lost her… With this hand i kill her trust… She is hating me now…

Sanskar cries sitting on ground…
Ragini slowly goes to sanskar…
Ragini : do you know… Where is she…
Sanskar looks at her… And nodes in yes…
Ragini : where…
Sanskar : she is waiting for you bhabi… Please chaliye…
Ragini looks at laksh and laksh nodes…
Laksh : sanskar… Jaldi chal…
Sanskar and raglak left… Where sujata fumes in anger…
Ragini (in car) : shona thik h na??
Sanskar cries : no bhabi… She is not… They tortured her so much… I am sorry bhabi… Please forgive me…
Ragini turns…
Both comes outside a small flat… Sanskar ring the bell… Door opened… Raglak amused to see dolly…
Dolly : Ragini.
Sanskar : dolly didi… Swara… Did she wake up??
Dolly nodes silently…
Ragini : where is shona…
Dolly takes ragini and laksh to a room… The room is fully messed up… Dolls and tedies are on floor… But swara is no where to be seen…
Sanskar : shona… Dolly didi… Where is she…
Ragini straight goes to the study table and bends down… She smiles with tears… Seeing scared shona… Under the table totally blenched in fear and not looking at her at all… She was turning her head towards the wall…
Ragini : shona…
She touched her…
Swara : no no… No… Don… Don’t beat me…
She buried herself in the wall more…
Ragini (pulls her arm) : shona… Shona… Don’t… Look It’s me… Your di… Shona bachcha…
Swara slightly looks at her…
Ragini extends her hand…
Swara comes out quickly and throw her self in ragini… And cries hard…
She was holding her tightly like a child hold her mother being scared…
Ragini : shona… Bachcha sssshhh… Don’t… Don’t cry… I am here na… Please don’t cry…
Swara slightly departs… She looks at her di… Ragini kiss her all over her face… She sees same blue marks on her either side of the temple… She looks at her carefully… Some burn marks on hand like burn of cigarettes… Deep red marks on her wrists and ankles… She is so shocked… A deep cut on her neck which is now bandaged… It’s clear someone pull her mangalsutra and gold chain that’s why that mark… She shockingly looks at Sanskar… Swara who was looking at her di… She follows her gaze and looks at sanskar… She makes a fearful face… She was pale as a ghost… She hugs Ragini tightly and… Shouts…
Swara : no… No… Please… Don’t take me… Bohot dard hota h… Please… Don’t take me there…
Ragini shocked: shona… No one will beat you… I am here na… Kya hua bolo… Shona bachcha.. Who will take you…
Swara points her finger to sanskar still buried her face in Ragini…
Swara : he… He will… Take me…
All looks at sanskar… Sanskar was seeing swara with teary eyes… He was crying… He runs to her and sits in front of her…

Sanskar : Princess… Shona… I will not take you anywhere…
Swara : nei nei… And tries to go towards ragini more… Not wanting to see him or being touched…
Sanskar cries : i am sorry… Shona… Please…
He cries… But swara was not effected… She holds ragini tightly and pushing her to go away from sanskar…
Ragini (speaks up) : please go sanskar… She is not well… She needs rest… And try to not come to her… It will detoriate her condition…
Sanskar bends her head and cries…
She stands up… And looks at swara with love… His eyes were pleading to see her face once… He close his eyes and about to leave the room..
Ragini : sanskar… I will never forgive you… Don’t come near swara again…
Sanskar looks at her with shock… While Ragini was seeing her with blood shot eyes…
Sanskar nodes in no…
Ragini :Laksh take your bhai… Shona needs rest… And go shift our luggage at our old house… We will live there..
Sanskar : nei.. Nei bhabi… Please…
Ragini (shouts) : laksh go…
Laksh goes towards swara and sits in front of her… He cares her hair and kissed her head… And looks at her painful teary eyes… Then goes to sanskar and drags him out of the room…
Sanskar : no… No bhai… Please… Make understand bhabi please… I will never do this again bhai… I can’t live without her bhai… How could i live… Please bhai…
Laksh stops and looks at him…
Sanskar falls on his feet…
Sanskar : please bhai… Please…
Laksh cant say anything… He loves his brother a lot… He can see the pain and love of sanskar… But he also notice the injuries of swara… Is this really pardonable…
