Raglak os: Challenges of Life!

As always I am late! But still I have posted this os… It has more drama and some romances only!! I hope will like it…So here is the story…

The os starts when Kavya stabbed Ragini and Ragini was saved but having high fever; Laksh taking care of Ragini the whole night and next day he proposed her but still Ragini left the situation to her parents. Now,
At Baadi, people were watching the chaos infront of Gaddodia’s house. Both Gaddodia and Maheshwari family were present. Ragini left the decision to her elders. Laksh falls on Shekhar’s feet and asked the hands of Ragini for his lifelong.
Laksh: Uncle Please! Please hear me uncle! I really love Ragini. I realized my mistakes and also found my love for Ragini uncle. I had always loved Ragini but it’s because of my impulsiveness I couldn’t get it. Now I realized that I could not live without Ragini. I realized that I am nothing without Ragini and her love. I really love her. Uncle I am begging u for ur daughter’s hand. Please uncle! Trust me uncle! One chance…only one chance uncle please. I will prove my love for Ragini uncle Please!! (He turned to Ragini with teary eyes and said) Ragini say naa that I love u. I know u can see my love through my eyes. Please Ragini I need u back to my life. Please say to uncle. Please!! (Ragini turned away her eyes and left her tears out. Laksh was hurt but still he didn’t give up. He turned to Shekhar and said) Uncle Please!! Only once….only once trusts me!! Please! I can prove my love…please uncle!!
Shekhar took a deep breath and looked at Ragini. Ragini gave him a pleading look but immediately covered it and looked at the floor. Shekhar understood Ragini’s feelings and decision. He made Laksh to stand. Laksh looked at him with hopeful and pleading eyes. But Shekhar gave him a straight look.
Shekhar: So u r trying to say that u love my daughter and u wanted us to trust u again and u can prove ur love. Am I right Laksh?

Laksh nodded immediately and looked at him with hope. Shekhar let out a sigh and said: So u know my daughter’s decision that only we can take the final decision. (Laksh nodded again with tears. Shekhar closed and opened his eyes and said) So it’s my duty to take correct decision for my daughter’s life, correct? (Laksh nodded again.) I know my daughter’s feelings. She still loves u but she didn’t want to come back to u without her parents’ and elders’ permission. (Laksh looked at Ragini with painful eyes and Ragini looked at him with loving eyes but broke her eye contact and looked at the floor whereas Laksh still looked at her. Shekhar continued.) Do u want to know my decision and feelings?? (Laksh immediately turned to Shekhar and nodded yes.) My decision is I don’t want to push my Ragini to u once again because I have lost the trust on u. (Laksh was shattered and becomes heartbroken. He was about to say something but Shekhar interrupted.) But I can see the love and care for my Ragini in ur eyes. (Laksh was surprised; Shekhar continued) But lose is lose. I can’t get back the lost trust on u. (Laksh looked pleadingly) Unless… (Laksh looked at him with hope and looked at him eagerly) Unless u will do what I say and prove ur love and get back my trust on u.
Laksh gets very happy and said ‘sure uncle I can do anything. Tell me what should I do?’ Shekhar looked straight into his eyes.
Shekhar: Laksh Maheshwari! By erasing the name ‘Maheshwari’, I want a personality as ‘Laksh’ only ‘Laksh’ without the family background. Can u understand? (Not only Laksh but all were confused and Laksh shook his head in ‘NO’.) Ok I can explain u in detail. U has to live a life as a middle class man without ur family’s support both financially and lawfully and only as ‘Laksh’. U has to create ur own identity in this cruel and challenging world. U has to show ur abilities to the world only as ‘Laksh’ and not as ‘Laksh Maheshwari’. U can do any jobs but u should get money by earning truthfully and honestly. Ur investment can be given by anyone except ur family members. U has to prove me that u can stand on ur own leg and can support my Ragini in all ways. U can take ur time for ur success. But the time I can give u is six months. U should prove me that u can live in this world without any support also u should prove that only u can keep my daughter happy. So, ready for the challenge Laksh?

Shekhar forwarded his hand for shake whereas everyone was standing with shocked and surprised face. But Laksh gives a determined look and looked at Ragini with the same determination. Ragini was already in shock and she shook her head in no. But Laksh nodded to her and shook his hand with Shekhar.

Laksh (in determined tone): Challenge accepted uncle. I will win back ur trust and my love, ur daughter, Ragini. I will make her as Ragini Laksh! Only Laksh!! No Maheshwari!!

Shekhar gave him a last look and said: Ur time starts from now Laksh. All the best!
He entered into the house without listening any words from Maheshwari family and his family members. He closed the door leaving Maheshwari family outside frozen. But Laksh was seriously thinking. All surrounded him and said to get away from this challenge as it is really very difficult job. But Laksh was not listening anything. At last he heard ‘forget Ragini’. This made his blood to boil and looked at his family with rage.

Laksh: STOP IT! I can’t forget Ragini because she is my soul and I have a strong faith and trust on my love. I can succeed in this. Let me do this. It not only gets back my love and everyone’s trust, it also give the will that I can face anything and stand on my own legs and support my family. Please believe me! I can do this. I am not going to try but going to win this. Because I need to get back my Ragini.

All looked at him with proud and surprise. But Laksh didn’t look at anyone. He took out his mobile and removed all his accessories and hand over it to his family.

Laksh: I am now going away from u all as a Laksh without anything but I will return to u all with everything. Please bless me and trust me! It’s the energy for me.

His family nodded at him and gave him a last hug with thumbs up for his challenge. At that Dida came and stood before Laksh.

Dida: Laksh! For a man, house, food and clothes r the needs and must. I am technically not ur family and at present a stranger to u. So I can help u right? I am helping u by giving my house to u for rent. But I don’t want ur rent now, I can get back once u get a job and have money. Okk!!
Laksh looked at her with teary and grateful eyes and folded his hands in ‘thank u’. But she removed it and hugged him and blessed him. Then everyone had left. Dida stayed in first floor and Laksh in ground floor. Laksh was sitting on the corridor and thinking for what job he can do. He doesn’t have his certificates as it was got by his education which was sponsored by his family. So he doesn’t want to use that. So he could not even get a loan. He was thinking to start a new business but he needs an investment. So he was thinking of money at that time his friend Omi came. He came there because Sanskar asked him to be helpful at this condition. By seeing Omi, Laksh gets hope. With the help of Omi, he contacted his friends and people who were known to him. But no one were ready to invest their on him. This made Laksh worry and weak. Like this the whole day had went for Laksh. These were all seen by Ragini from her terrace. Seeing his struggle, her eyes become teary and heart was broken. She didn’t show it to anyone. She didn’t have her food as Laksh didn’t have anything from the morning. She had saw his tired and failure face while entering to the Dida’s house. This made Ragini to feel hurt, painful and guilt. She couldn’t sleep the whole night thinking about him.
Next early morning, at in-house temple,

Ragini was praying for Laksh and took arthi to the tulsi plant. While she was doing it she saw Dida’s house door was opening. Laksh came out and looked at Ragini. He had a tired face but still after seeing her face in the morning he got a new energy and smiled at her. But Ragini looked at him with painful eyes as she knows how much he was struggling yesterday. She also worried about what he was going to do today. They had a small eyelock but Laksh broke it and was about to move but Ragini called him.
Ragini: Laksh!
Laksh felt very happy to hear her voice and turned to her smiling happily and said: Yes Ragini!!
Ragini goes and stood infront of him. She gave him the 2 laddoos which was in the plate as Prasad and asked him to have it. Laksh took it and was about to have it but forwarded it to Ragini. Ragini looked at him confused.
Laksh: I know that u also didn’t have anything from yesterday. First u have this and I too have it.

Saying this he feeds her lovingly. Ragini looked at him with pure love and caring eyes. They both thus finished their breakfast lovingly feeding each other. Before going out Laksh gave a wink and a small flying kiss to Ragini. Ragini immediately blushed and looked down. Laksh smiled and went away. Ragini keeps looking at his disappearing image.
Like that few weeks passed but still he didn’t get a permanent and good job. He was struggling very hard for his daily expenses Ragini was feeling very bad for him. She could not see him struggling like this. However Laksh just crossed those struggles and hardships only by believing himself and his love.
One day, Ragini went with a man to a nearby café. It was quite famous café. At that time a waiter came to take their order. Ragini was hell shocked to see Laksh as a waiter there. Even Laksh didn’t expect Ragini to find about his job and he also couldn’t see Ragini another man. He understood that Ragini’s family has started searching groom again. Ragini felt deeply hurt and angry. She closed her fits to control her tears and anger. The man who came with Ragini was speaking something but Ragini was not at all listening. Her mind was fixed on the image of Laksh dressed as a waiter. Her blood boiled thinking about it. At that time she felt a shake on her body. She came to reality and saw that man had called her ‘Ragini!’ But Ragini absent mindedly said, ‘Haan Laksh!’ That man chuckled and said ‘Ragini! I am Rana, ur future fiancé. Not Laksh!’ Ragini was embarrassed but Rana cracked a joke and made her to smile but it was actually a fake smile. As soon as they had their coffee and was about to go home, Ragini said she can go by herself. So Rana left from there waving a bye to him. Now her face changes red in anger and rushed inside and saw Laksh taking the empty tea cups and plates from a table. Ragini gritted her teeth and pulled his arms. Laksh was shocked.
Ragini yelled: What r u doing Laksh?
Laksh looked around and found that everyone is watching them. But Ragini holds his jaw and made him to look at her rage eyes. Laksh gulped and looked away to avoid her eye contact but Ragini was not going to give up easily. She made him to look at her again but this time he asked permission from his owner and rushed out from there with her. After coming out through back door, Ragini pinned him on the wall and looked at him with the same emotions.
Ragini in a very low and dangerous tone: What r u thinking that u r doing? R u a great Mahan? U can do anything for ur love? Huh? Stupid! Idiot! Pagal! Really u r a mad person! (Her eyes become teary.) Understand Laksh! U r not mine I am not urs. We can’t be one in this birth. Stop doing these stupid things Laksh. Go back to ur family and move on. Don’t think of me or our past. It’s just a past. We can’t dream our future only with our past Laksh. Please, leave this job. It really hurts me to see u like this! Please Laksh.

All the while Laksh was looking at her teary and rage eyes with calm and love. When Ragini ended what she was saying with crying, he hugged her tightly and she too hugged him back. After a while, they broke their hug and Laksh cupped her face.
Laksh: Ragini! Can u see me kissing or loving another women other than u. (Ragini’s eyes widens in shock and immediately her face gives a hurt and angry look but she shook her head and bends it. Laksh lifted her face with her chin.) And I also know that u want to be the only woman in my life forever. Likewise Ragini I too feel the same. We know what we both were feeling so no need to hide ur feelings. It’s completely useless. I can get what u r saying by just looking into ur eyes Ragini. (He holds her shoulder in a firm grip.) U r only mine Ragini and I am only urs. I know that ur family is looking matches for u. They can see matches, engage u to them, celebrate sangeet, haldi, mehendi function but the marriage happens only with this Laksh. Only with Laksh, Ragini! Don’t worry about me. Look! I am really going through many hardships but these were all nothing infront of ur love for me Ragini. I really love u Ragini. Please don’t say ‘move on without u’ again Ragini. It hurts here (He shows his chest.) I will become the Laksh who can do anything and face any problems and support his family and stands on his own leg. Ragini please believe me. I can do it Ragini and I want u too to trust me Ragini. Please. Will u?
Ragini nodded her head in yes and looked at him lovingly. Laksh brought his face near to her. Ragini too looked into his eyes and becomes closer to her. Their lips met. They kissed each other passionately. They broke their kiss and looked each other with all their love. Laksh said “I love u Ragini” and pecked her lips. Ragini smiled and said “I love u too Laksh” and pecked his lips. They both smiled slyly and merged their forehead. Finally Laksh gave a small kiss on her forehead and waved her bye by giving her an assured look and hug. Ragini started to trust Laksh and prayed for his success.

Few more days passed. Dadi blackmailed Ragini and Shekhar and does Ragini’s engagement with Rana. Even though Ragini felt sad and depressed she convinced herself strong with Laksh’s words…that her marriage will be with Laksh only!! So she prepared herself and puts ring in Rana’s finger. At that night, Laksh came to know about this sudden engagement and feels bad. He said to himself that he should increase his speed level. He was standing on the terrace and looking at the moon. At that time, Ragini came and back hugged him. She tried to control her tears but she couldn’t infront of Laksh. Laksh broke her back hug and shook his head in no and gives a kiss on her forehead saying everything will be alright. Ragini nodded her head and gave him her best smile. Laksh too smiled back at her. His eyes suddenly fall on the engagement ring and his smile vanishes. He felt jealous but he was helpless. He turned back to control his anger and jealousy. Ragini understood this and made him to turn. She removed her engagement ring and gave it to Laksh while he looked at her confused. She then shows him a ring which he had put on her finger at his first engagement. Laksh was amazed to see it. She smiled at him. Laksh got to know what she was planning. She took his hand and slid that ring to him and Laksh in turn slid that Rana’s ring to her. Laksh grinned at her which made Ragini to laugh! At that time they heard some footsteps. So Ragini ran and hide behind the bushy plants. While Laksh made sure Ragini was hiding safely and turned to look at who was coming. It was Shekhar. After looking at Laksh, Shekhar turns to leave.
Laksh looking at the moon said: Ragini!
Ragini who was watching the scene was scared and cursed Laksh under her breath whereas Shekhar was surprised and looked around to see if Ragini was there. But Ragini had hided more into the plants so Shekhar couldn’t find her. Laksh repeated again ‘Ragini’ while looking at the moon. Shekhar looked at him confused. He turned to move but,
Laksh said: If we look at the moon when we are alone, we can see our loved ones through it. (Shekhar left out a breath and just looked at the moon. Laksh said) Can u see Janaki maa there uncle? (Both Shekhar and Ragini were shocked.)
Shekhar with confused look said: What?

Laksh looked at Shekhar and said: Uncle shall I say a thing? U has loved Sharmistha maa but ur true love is Janaki maa! (Shekhar was even more shocked to hear it whereas Ragini was frozen at her place. Laksh continued.) Yes uncle. U had loved Sharmistha maa really but when u get to know the reality that u could not unite with her, ur love for her had died at that time. (Shekhar felt angry hearing it while Ragini was looking at Laksh with wide eyes.) When u have married Janaki maa and moved on with her, u started to love her. But because of our bad luck she had died within few years of urs’ marriage. (Ragini’s eyes become teary and Shekhar stood numb. Laksh continued.) Uncle if u had loved Sharmistha maa really and truly, u would have married her fighting ur parents or at least u would have married her after Janaki maa’s death. But u didn’t. Instead u have faced the reality and accepted Janaki maa as ur life partner and started to move on. Due to some accident she had passed away; but still u haven’t moved on and raised Ragini as a single parent. And only because of Swaragini u have married Sharmistha maa. If they haven’t decide to unite u both, would u have thought of marrying Sharmistha maa. (Shekhar looks down like thinking deeply whereas Ragini was looking at Laksh like she had realized what he was trying to say. Laksh finally said.) Ur true love is Janaki maa. If u want proof then ask ur heart and it will answer u uncle.
Shekhar just looked Laksh with uncertain emotions and goes from there. Ragini comes from her hiding place and gave him a confused look with teary eyes. Laksh clears hose tears and cupped her face and looked into her eyes.
Laksh: I was just saying him what is true love. I was feeling this from the start when we all have met at first time, but I could say it by now. Is there anything wrong in my thoughts or sayings Ragini?
Ragini with grateful and proud look shook her head in no and hugged him tightly. At that they heard dadi calling Ragini. Ragini broke the hug and was about to go but Laksh pulled her and hugged her and said in Ragini’s voice: Ji dadi maa, I will come in 15 minutes. Dadi replied ok.
Ragini looked at Laksh with disbelief while Laksh grinned and winked at her saying: I have many talents inside me Ragini. If u want I can show them every night after our marriage. Ragini’s face turned red and she hit him on his chest.
Laksh: Ragini I wanted to say u something. (Ragini nodded and Laksh continued) I was promoted to accountant and manager in that café Ragini. (He said with happy face. Ragini was surprised and felt very happy and asked him how? Laksh replied.)

It was time to close the shop. I was just checking if everything was in their correct place at that time I noticed something was hidden by the accountant. He moves aside and I go there and checked the details, I was shocked when I found that the accountant was cheating the owner. So I immediately reported about his act to the owner and he saw all my proof and dismissed him away and appreciated me for my work. I was about to go but he asked whether I have studied about accountancy, I said about my qualification. He asked my certificates but I said it was lost and was about to go. He called me and said that he trusts me and asks me to be the accountant and also the manager of that café.
He completed saying it, Ragini was so happy that she kissed all over his face and pecked his lips saying: I *kiss* love *kiss* you *kiss*!! Laksh gave her a million dollar smile which Ragini returned with a passionate kiss on his lips. Laksh was happy that his Ragini was happy. Ragini was happy as Laksh got some good thing in turn of his hard works.
Some days passed. Laksh’s loyalty and honesty towards his work made his owner (Krishna Mehra) to amaze and surprise. Krishna Mehra was the ex owner of Mehra groups of companies. As he had no heir he transferred his shares to his brother’s son Rana Mehra and made him as the king of his empire as he wanted to spend his rest of the life with his wife and that café. Now after looking at Laksh, he started to treat him as his son. He gets to know about Laksh’s life and decides to support him. He contacted Rana and made Laksh to work in his company and Laksh’s real talent was shown to everyone. He shows his growth gradually. His honesty, dedication and hard work made every worker to amaze. He started his own business with the help of Mehra’s investments. It was already 5 months. And Laksh became the top most developing business man in the world. Meanwhile, the marriage preparation of Ragini and Rana was going on. During all rituals, Swasan and Rana trick the family members and made Laksh to be in the place of Rana. (Rana knows about Raglak’s love from the day he saw them kissing backside of café. After seeing Laksh’s hard works, he decided to help them to get together.) Thus in every ritual Raglak were the bride and groom. Finally, the marriage day comes.
But Ragini and Rana were sitting in the mandap as a plan of Ragini, Laksh, Rana, Harish, Swara, Sanskar, Omi, Dida, Sharmistha and Ragini’s Dada. Laksh entered the Baadi in his own car and comes in his white sherwani with red pajamas and red turban on his head. Everyone (actually Shekhar and Dadi) was surprised to see Laksh there. Maheshwari family too came there. Laksh stood before Shekhar and said,
Laksh: Uncle! As u said, I have completed ur challenge. Now I am standing on my own legs. I am well known to everyone only as Laksh and not as ‘Laksh Maheshwari’. Without any support from my family, I have become success uncle. I have proved myself that I can and only I can keep Ragini happy in this world. I am here for her hands uncle.
Saying this he forwarded his hand. Ragini looked at Laksh with complete happiness, she was about to stand up but before that.
Dadi: But u hasn’t got back the trust on u Laksh.
Everyone was shocked to hear it. Laksh looked Shekhar with confused eyes. By the time, Rana stood up and came infront of Shekhar.
Rana: Uncle! I know everything about Raglak. I also know about ur challenge to Laksh. I supported him as I saw his sufferings to get back his love. I trusted him completely. Not only me, my Bade papa (Looking at Harish Mehra who had came there after Laksh and said) also trusted him completely. Because of the trust we got a hard worker like Laksh which made our pride to go worldwide. Now I am asking from the Laksh’s side for Ragini’s hand. U may be confused about my words. But uncle, I just acted like Ragini’s fiancé these days because I don’t want u to fix someone for Ragini which will complicate the things more. Please uncle. Trust Laksh and their love uncle please!
Shekhar looked at Rana with shock while Rana looked at him with hopeful and pleading eyes. Swasan too came on Laksh’s side along with Sharmistha, Dida and Dada. Everyone said that they believed and trusted Laksh’s love on Ragini so only they helped him to get back Ragini. Shekhar got to know about their doings and stood there without any expressions in his face whereas dadi was fuming in anger. But all the while Ragini was still sitting on the mandap praying to god and crying inside her heart. Shekhar looked at Ragini and goes to her. Ragini stood up slowly while Laksh looks on.
Shekhar cupped Ragini’s face: Do u trust him Ragini? Do u still love Laksh?
Ragini doesn’t know what to say but still she could understand that if she kept numb at this moment then it will be the greatest mistake in her life. So she nodded her head looking into Shekhar’s eyes and said: I love him papa and I trust him (looking at Laksh) as much as I trust u papa. (Shekhar kissed on her forehead and turned to Laksh. He took Ragini’s hand and placed it on Laksh’s. Everyone was surprised as well as happy.)
Shekhar: I have already started to trust u Laksh. I had a hope that u will definitely complete this challenge only when u love my Ragini. Now u have proved that with ur love and u had get back the trust on u. I am proud of u Laksh. I am allowing u to hold my daughter’s hand throughout ur lifetime but if I get to know that u r doing anything against ur love or against Ragini then u have to face my anger first Laksh. I hope u get that.
Laksh smiled genuinely at him and said ‘I promise’! Raglak’s marriage was completed. They were really happy at last they got their love. Shekhar felt a flower on him he turned around and found an image of Janaki smiling at him. Shekhar remembered Laksh’s words and smiled. He looked back at Laksh with a proud look and happy face. As Laksh promised, he had returned to MM with everything also their happiness. At last the problems were solved.
At night, Laksh entered into his decorated room where Ragini was standing on the balcony. After closing the door he jumped on the bed saying ‘Oh god! How much I missed this room and my bed!!’ Saying this he hugged his pillow and showered it with kisses. Ragini laughed looking at her husband’s antics. But the tables turn around as Laksh looked Ragini with an intense look which made her to blush. He came infront of Ragini and back hugged her. While hugging and kissing and nuzzling her back Laksh whispered ‘Finally, I got u Ragini’. He smiled saying it but Ragini turned and looked into Laksh’s eyes. She said ‘Not u Laksh! Got us!!’ Laksh frown his eyebrows and looked at Ragini with confusion. She took Laksh’s hand and placed it on her belly and said ‘Ready for next challenge?’ Laksh looked at her amused. Ragini continued ‘to become a great father?’ Laksh’s happiness was boundless. He kissed Ragini passionately and Ragini immediately responded him with same passion. He finally hugged her tightly and said ‘Ragini!! U r my happiness. Really…I can do anything even conquer this whole world if u r just beside me Ragini. I….I..I love u Ragini!! I love u so much.” Ragini said “I..(shook her head in no and continued) We love u too Laksh”. Laksh smiled and hugged her more tightly. The screen blurred and at last Raglak’s marriage photo is shown.
HAPPY ENDING!
