Thank you sooooo much friends…! ‘Hope you all remember me and my story’ *eyes closed*

Recap: Ragsan sweet moments

The refreshing morning

Sanskar brought coffee to others when the train stopped at a station. Ragini passed the glass to Swara and Harsha… “Diya… Roshik… get up” Ragini woke up them… Preethi stretched her hands while yawning and looked her surrounding with single eye. Harsha admired her through corner of his eyes while drinking coffee. Ragini made Roshik drink milk while Sanky made Diya drink Complan.

Time passed… Ragsan is playing with their children while Swara and Preethi were gossiping. Preethi shifted her gaze and found Harsha taking selfie with weird faces. Preethi suppressed her laugh seeing his funny faces while Swara asked what? And she gestured to see her bro. Swara too laughed at his postures. “solrenu thappa eduthukada… un annan panradu avanukey konjam over ah terila? (don’t mistake me… your brother is showing scene…)” Preethi said. “haan you are right… when I takes selfie he teases me now he is takes too many selfies” said Swara.

“Guys get fresh up… just one more station to reach the destination” Sanky said and others nodded in yes. Swara helped Diya and Roshik to wash their face… on the other side Sanky trying to say something to Ragini. “Sanky… why your face looks like ginger ate monkey?” “voh… that we are going to village… so… don’t leave your hair open… can plait it?” Sanky said with hesitation. She hit her forehead by her palms. “Sanky you need not to hesitate… you are my husband… you can order me… got it?” she said while Sanky kept his index finger on his chin and said “how can I order my boss?” she smiled at him and pulled his cheeks.

Preethi is coming towards her seat after fresh up and stood like a statue behind Harsha… her eyes popped out when she saw Harsha admiring her pictures… she recalled the scene when he was taking selfies and realised that he was just pretend to take selfie but in real he was taking her pictures. Harsha sensed someone’s presence in his back and stunned when he turned. He gulped in fear to see Preethi fuming.

Ragini looked adorable in plaited hair… Sanskar smiled at her and forwarded his right hand which carries Jasmine… she blushed and turned letting him to place by his own. “How dare you to take my pictures without my permission you…” Preethi neared him and he stepped back… She pinned him to wall and tried to snatch the phone from his hand. Both were close to each other that they can feel other’s heartbeat. They apart in fracture of second when Ragsan came there… “Why you both are giving thief caught look? Any matter?” Sanky questioned.

“voh nothing…” said scared Harsha… “What? Nothing???” Preethi said while Harsha pleaded to her not to tell anything through his eyes. “What’s the matter Preethi… tell me” Ragini asked and Preethi replied, “He…” Harsha closed his eyes tight. “He is not leaving window seat to me” Preethi said bringing back Harsha’s heartbeat. He took sigh of relief while Ragsan shook their head in impossible. All sat silently…

All had their breakfast and the destination came near so took the luggage in hands… Sanky get down from the train… Sanky forwarded his hand… Ragini took deep breath and worshipped god for a second and placed her hand on his then printed her soft feet on sand of her in laws. Ragini lifted Roshik in her arms and Sanky lifted Diya… Harsha get down followed by Preethi… Swara got down with some hesitation and composed with smile.

They hired a cab and started to move towards the village… Greenish fields gave evergreen welcome to them with waves of well grew trees… colourful fields of flowers danced in chill breeze… with the first trip itself Ragini and others except Sanskar and Preethi fall for the treasured Tamilnadu… their cab stopped in front of a villa which had both traditional and modern touch… the house was filled with some close relatives… ladies were gossiping by making a gang and gents were discussing about what to plant next and some other things related to agriculture… children were playing happily… a small girl noticed the cab and looked inside deeply

“Hey Asra… what are you looking inside the car? Who is there?” asked Aarthi and Adithya… they neared her as they didn’t get any response from her… Aarthi was about to place her hand on Asra’s shoulder but jerked as Asra screamed “Chithapa vandachiiiiiii (chacha came)” Sujatha and Annapoorna’s face curved wide smile and came out of the house while Parvathi and Parineetha turned and noticed the cab as they were already gossiping outside.

Sanskar forwarded his steps and Annapoorna caressed his face and he took blessings from Parvathi and then Annapoorna then bent in front of Sujatha but she moved backward. “Maa…” he uttered while she turned her face and said, “poda… pesada… Amma va pirinji irukom nu kavalaye illala… nanga lam irukomngaradu unaku gyabagam irukuma illa irukada… appo appo vandu pathutu pona enna? Varrada paaru aadiku oru naal ammavasai ku oru naal… poda po… angaye irunduko…”

(Don’t talk to me… being far from your mother never affects you na… will you get rememberance about us or not? You comes here very rarely… get lost… stay there only) tears escaped from her eyes irresistibly and hits him slightly… he hugs her tight and she drops all her depression in her lovely son’s hug.

“pulla vandadum avana kangadichita… muthala avana ulla kupdu apram unga Amma Paiyan paasatha ella pozhiya lam… (With his entry itself you scared him… first call him inside later you can show your mother and son love scene)” said Parvathi with stern smile. Just then they heard the car door sound and fixed their focus on car.

Ragini get down from the car with her kids on the other side Swara and Harsha get down from the car… “This is…” Parineetha and Sujatha pointed at Ragini and tried to remember something… Ragsan looked at each other horrified… Sanskar was sweating profusely… “I saw her somewhere” Parineetha said and Annapoorna agreed with her. “Yes right… I saw you at temple when I came to Mumbai right?” Sujatha asked with smile as she found. Ragsan took sigh of relief.

Ragini came forward… “Maa, Paati… this is Ragini…” Sanky introduced her and she bent down to take blessing… Sujatha and Annapoorna blessed with their whole heart but Parvathi blessed with disgust as she found black beads (Mangalsutra) on her neck which indicates she is Marwadi. “This is Swara and Harsha… brother and sister of Ragini” Sanky introduced indicating them. Parvathi’s face glowed when she noticed a girl in back of Harsha… with naughty smile she asked, “Sanskar who is this girl?” pointing Preethi.

“Paati (grand maa) this is my friend Preethi… all are came here for Uttra’s marriage” Sanky concluded while Sujatha and others were happy that their son brought a girl to his home… new ray of hope raised that Preethi can make Sanky agree to marriage. “Sanskar you said Preethi is your friend but you didn’t uttered about Harsha and Ragini?” Parineetha
questioned. “She is…” Sanky was about to say something but Ragini interrupted and said, “naangalam pakathu vitukaaranga (we are his neighbours)” Sanky looked at her confused but she gave assured look.

“ohhh unaku tamil ellam teriyuma? (you even know tamil?)” Sujatha asked surprisingly. “haan I know completely… but Swara and Harsha knows only to understand and also able to talk somewhat… they don’t know to read as they learned Tamil from watching movies” Ragini explained with cute smiley face.

“vituku vandavangala ulla kupdama vasallaye thanga veka poringala? (did you all planned to make the guest rest on door steps itself?” Annapoorna questioned and called them inside. “adadey Sanskar… epo vanda (when you came?)” Parameshwar asked with smiley face. “ipo dan thatha (just now grand paa)” he replied. “varenu oru vaartha sollirunda station ku vandi anupirupen la? (If you informed us then I’d send car to station na?” asked RamPrasad. “haan you’ll but if I informed earlier then I’d miss this million dollar smile of my family na?” he said with most cute smile on his face while pulling Parameshwar and Parvathi’s cheek.

“Anna… (Bro)” screamed Uttra with lots of happiness and indulge in bone crushing hug with Sanky… he caressed her hair and broke the hug… “kalyanam pannikira aalavku en kutty thangachi valandacha? (My small sister grown up to age of marriage?” he asked in teasing tone with wide smile while she blushed hard and hide herself behind Sujatha… “Maa paaru vandaudaney kindal panna start pannitan… (Maa look at him… just now he came but started teasing)” she complained like a small kid.

“China pulla mari complain panra unakellam kalyanama nu avanuku shock… apdi dana Anna? (He is just wondering that the small kid who is complaining to mom till date getting married? Am I right bro?)” Laksh asked while entering the hall. “Hey Laksh… epdi iruka? (How are you?)” “Hot and handsome as always” he replied in cool manner. “Ok ok you all can continue your rubbish talks but first arrange rooms to the guest” Durga Prasad ordered while Laksh and Adharsh nodded.

Adharsh opened the door of guest house which is back side to Sanskar’s house… they were directed to their rooms… Swara was struggling to handle her and Harsha’s luggage and about to skid but laksh saved her by holding her shoulder… both shared a intense eye lock… their heart started to beat fast… “i… I’m… fine” she said stammering while he took of his hands but looked deep into her eyes where she avoids the eye contact with him.

“ivan anga padika ponadu vela paakuradulam pathadunu anda oor aalungalalam yean kutitu vandrukan?” Durga Prasad stated… “Whatever they are… now they are our guest… our culture is hospitalizing enemies too so just be cool” said Annapoorna. “Yes she is right… hoping they won’t cause any troubles” Pravathi shook her head and others agreed.

Diya and Roshik who were seemed invisible due to their silence now started to dance on bed as now they acquainted with the place. Diya… Roshik… behave yourself” Ragini shouted at them just then Adharsh said, “let them enjoy… after all this is the first time they are coming to their granny’s home… just go with the flow… destiny will be with you” he spoke optimistic.

“Preethi…” Harsha called out. “mmm what?” she asked while turning towards him. “Thank you soooo much” he greeted while she gave confused look. “I mean thanks for not telling the photo matter to di…” he thanked.

“mmm actually our first meeting was not good but your behaviour doesn’t hurt me… I was just hurt by physically otherwise I was fine… you know why? While narrating the story itself I wondered at your character… you are not a blood related brother to Ragini but you stays besides with her in all her hardships… that’s really adorable… you both shares such a amazing bond… if I complaint you also that won’t affect your relationship because it’s really strong… but there will be guilt to you both… you’ll regret that you made your sister bend in front of other and she will worry that she failed to guide his brother… I don’t want that… that’s why I didn’t utter anything” she said with a smiling face.

He was amused at her statement and said “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t take those pictures… I’ll delete it right now” he said and about to delete the pictures but Preethi stopped him hurriedly “no nooooo” he looked at her confused. “Though you took it without my permission you captured wonderfully… I never thought that I’ll be this much beautiful… those innocent actions… I’m just wondering is it me? Can you send me those pictures?” she asked innocently.

“Why not? But for that I need your number” he said while blinking his single eye. She blushed a bit and gave her number then left from there… Harsha smiled like a manic to see her number.

Screen freezes with smiling face of Harsha
