Rhythm of Life – Tune 40 (RagSan)

Thank you sooooo much Friends

Recap: Life back to normal

That was lovely morning….. Sparkling sunlight glitters through the white snow dangling on corner of grass. Chill breeze hits Sanskar who is holding hot coffee cup and admiring the wonderful sight of surroundings. While sipping coffee the vapour flew up. Suddenly something steal his glance…. He was awestruck to see the scene. Ragini came out of dressing room with ravishing red colour saree, left her wet hair open and water drops slipping to floor. She dried her hair with towel and made the water drops strike Sanky’s face making him come out of his trace.

She is wearing beautiful stoned yet matching stead. She was struggling to tie her necklace while Sanky came closer to her. He tucked her hair in one corner by sliding her back and she felt his touch and closed her eyes while taking deep breath. He tied the necklace and rested his chin on her shoulder. He wrapped his hands around her belly and said, “My Jungli bili looks adorable in this saree” “Is it?” he saw Ragini lifting her single eye brow through mirror. He smiled and made her turn then applied vermillion on hairline. She felt happy and hugged him but looked down as her tummy is big so she was unable to hug straight.

“till now didn’t born now onwards started disturbing our romance” Sanky thought to himself and hugged her from side. Then asked Ragini to eat food. “haan we can eat but now we are getting late… we have to go to Aryan and Aradya’s home as they arranged pooja for Karvachauth virath” Ragini diverted the topic. He nodded his head in disbelief and headed towards parking slot while she smiled and locked the home. Both travelled to border of Mumbai city where Aryan’s home is.

Aradya, Raina, Shivanya, Shesha too wore red colour saree and lehangas and looked breath taking. While the boys wore somewhat similar colour shervanis and looked handsome as usual. Girls made one group and gossiping while boys do the same by making another group. Just then Ragsan get down from car. Aryan and Aradya welcomed them and hugged. Ragini went to girl’s group and Sanky was taken to boys group. Both waved “Hi” no response they got. Everyone turned their face to different directions.

“what happened guys?” Sanky asked while Ragini asked, “why are you all not talking?” “Shesha you said till now you didn’t visited Aradya’s home right? Lets go I’ll show you” Shivanya said and took her from there leaving Ragini disappointed. On the other side “Aham does the same along with Yuvi leaving Sanky. Ragsan looked each other with their sad faces. “Raina…” Ragini called up “haan Shivu coming” she too left Ragini without paying any heed. Ragini was verge of cry… Sanky came towards her. “Ragini lets go… here no one wants to talk with us… there is no meaning to be here with whom doesn’t understand our situation” he told with anger.

“hey guys I invited you all to enjoy together but all are….” Arayn spoke up. “more over Ragini is pregnant we should keep her happy” Aradya told. All bent their gaze in guilt. “we are sorry for not coming to Yuvi&Shesha and Aham&Raina marriage….. Please listen what we try to say” Sanky explained what all the problems happened in those days due to Vibha. All were shocked especially girls as they don’t know about Vibha. Everyone apologised and smile started to appear on their face and all shared group hug.

“hello if everyone completed your scene tell her to eat…. She is being adamant in keeping fast today… at this condition… advise her ya” Sanky told about Ragini’s fast. “what? Are you mad Ragini?” Raina reacted. “haan you likes to keep fast for your husband but what about your unborn baby?” Shivanya said while “you should be take more care of you baby than Sanskar” Shesha completed the sentence. “you can keep fast rest of your life… but not this time” Aradya told. “haan girls are right… you should not keep fast this year” boys stated.

“offo why are you not understanding me? just one day… nothing will happen… more over this is my first Karvachauth… other don’t know how curious I’m. but Raina… you know na… from school days I was excited about my first karvachauth… you too taking their side… whoever whatever say… I’ll keep fast that’s final” Ragini completed her point. “ok fine… do whatever you want to do… I’m not ready to argue with you anymore” Sanky said in irritated tone and left from there.

Girls all were talking just then heavy fragrance of tasty food… everyone breathed in and looked here and there to find from where the aroma is coming. Their eyes got widen when they saw all the boys bringing food plate and arranging on dinning table of Aradya’s home. the big dinning table was filled with food plates…. Aradya cant take her eyes out of plate which is looking colourful. Shivanya was lost in fragrance and taking breath continuously.

All the boys sat and started to eat… “mmmm varey va… kya taste?” said Aham while sipping the food and saliva secreted in raina’s mouth. “perfect level of spicy… apt masala… magical hands… equals to the tasty food like this” Yuvi said while eating by one hand and joining index and thumb finger of other hand to mention superb. Shesha looked with long wont he give single sip of the tasty food. “wow… really every girls should learn cooking from whom cooked this” said while taking sip. Ragini glared him and left from there, girls also followed her.

Aradya said, devils….. here we are keeping fast for that dumbo but they are eating in front of us. Haan tonight they have… Shesha said while gritting her teeth. “haan I’ll teach good lesson” Shivanya glared boys who is far from them. “haan haan today we should show their place” Raina said for her count. “offo girls don’t talk about those stupids… we are fasting… we should not loose our temper or else we will get more hungry… ok tell me is there any good news?” Ragini asked with smiling face.

“voh…” Shivanya blushed. All girls widened their eyes with broad smile on face. Raina asked “how many months?” Shesha replied “she is three months” while Shivanya became crimson red due to blush. Ragini noticed Aradya who also have blush on face and asked “what about you Aru?” “voh… symptoms hai… but not confirmed yet” she said while biting her lower lip. “Awwww….” Girls reacted. They passed the day by random talks and cursing their beloved husbands.

That was night… girls are eagerly waiting with pooja plate in hand for moon. Boys too came near to them while the girls shot dagger through eyes but smiled when moon came as they want to complete their fast by their hands only. After seeing smile on their wives face boys face too glowed. All girl stood around the water tank which was beautifully decorated. They poured Ganga jal (Holi water) which they had in small pot, in the tank where is the reflection of moon. Then Ragini glanced the moon through netted plate, then she looked at Sanskar…. Both shared sweet eye lock.

Aradya, Raina, Shivanya and Shesha too done the same with their respective husbands. All the love birds lost them in their beloved ones eyes. Then one by one made their love drink Ganga jal and fed them sweet. All girls looked each other with smiling face and took deep breath as they completed their first Karvachauth successfully. “haan still why are you all standing like statue… lets get in and have your dinner” Sanky said and rushed in while others looked him suspiciously.

All girls settled in dinning table. Sanky too about to sit but boys stopped him. “hey… already we ate in front of them… so to cool their mood we have to serve them by our own hands… where are you sitting? Come and serve” Rithick said while Sanky’s face went to pale. He stood from chair and took one of the bowl to serve. Except Ragini other girls stared their husbands serving them lovingly and treated them worst than waiter to take revenge.

Sanky served chapatti on her plate and about to pour gravy she showed her palm as stop, he was puzzled. She told him to sit next to her and poured gravy herself and pushed the plate in front of Sanky and nodded him to eat. He gave a confused look while she again ordered to eat. He took big big sip and ate fast… she was amused to see his fast. Soon others too notice him and asked “Ragini… he already ate na… now why are you letting him to eat?” Raina asked. “he lied… he didn’t ate” Ragini replied while Sanky coughed and spitted the food at her statement.

“what are you saying bhabhi?” Yuvi asked. “he is not the person who eats fast… I fed him when he was hungry but then too he didn’t ate in this much speed… if he eats in this speed then he must be with empty tummy from morning” Ragini gave the information. Sanky gulped in and remained “he took food to sip but when Ragini left the place he excused and spitted the food in sink. His so called friends didn’t noticed him that he didn’t ate because they were in heavy hungry as their wives didn’t cooked in morning for fast” he rubbed his back of the head in embarrassment while boys got killer look from their wives. All parted to their homes after finishing dinner.

On the way (in car)

Sanky is driving while Ragini rested her head on Sanky’s shoulder. He looked at her and caressed her hair by single hand. She clutched his and while he stopped the car at corner of the road. He turn towards her and asked what? She smiled yet her eyes formed layer of tear. I know you cant tolerate your hungry for ten minutes too… while cooking you will rush me up… but today you didn’t ate anything… that too to accompany me… tears licked her cheeks. “offo… you too cant skip your food for single time but you kept fast that too for my long life and in this condition… he pointed her tummy… then how can I eat?” he said while wiping her tears.

She hold his both hands and kissed his palms while his lips curved a smile. He made eye contact with her and kissed and forehead and made her burry in his chest. “Sanky… you and me are romancing… but what about others condition?” she looked at him while both burst into laughter.

Screen shifted to other pairs

Shivanya was removing her jewels while Rithick entered the room with smiling face
Yuvi hugged Shesha from back
Raina turned to Aham who is hugging her from back
Aradya glared Aryan and took pillow which was near on bed and started to beat…. He was roaming all over room and she continuously beating.
Raina punched Aham on stomach and gave killer look

Shesha turned towards Yuvi and stared with love filled eyes… she pinned him on wall and caressed seductively while he had broad smile on his face… she came closer to his cheek… he closed his eyes as he gonna get a lovely kiss… suddenly winced in pain when Shesha bite his cheek and glaring him.
Rithick was complimenting Shivanya’s face shining like the bright full moon… he was about to hug her but she pushed him and thrown out to balcony and closed the glassed door and said, “my face is glowing like moon na… so stare the moon in my thought”
All boys kept both hands on cheeks with dull face and cursing their idiot friend.

Another fine day

Ragini is sitting on bed by extended her legs and resting in back of cot. “Jungliiiii…” Sanky called out but no response. He came to bed room and found Ragini who was immersed herself in reading play “Othello” he widened his eyes to see the play name and snatched the book from her hand. “hey why you snatched it? cant you see I’m reading?” she sain in annoyed tone.

“hey look… you are pregnant… in this time you should read books like Ramayan and Mahabharat… but I never suggested you that… but what is the need to read the Tragedy story?” he asked while she replied “look… haan… it may be tragedy but I’m not reading any tragic scenes… just reading bed chamber scene… how cute… Othello was about to kill Desdimona but see how lost himself in her beauty… that’s the power of love… in final also dead while kissing his beloved wife and continued journey in heaven” with attitude yet expressing love of the play.

“hey you shouldn’t read any tragic story that’s final… if you want to read… go to Wattpad or Telly updates… there is lots of good stories. You can read Is this love? Or When your crush finally kisses you, A friend request, Two enemies or story stars with the game….. “haan f you want you can read My love for you will never change, Love is blind, Swaragya the beginning, You have completed me or The rival that stole my heart” Harsha said while entering into house. “not only this…. Rocks vs Royals, Frustrations-Friendship-Forgiveness, Bhezhubaan ishq, Love strings or Betrayer…. This is also good” Swara said who entered following Harsha.

“haan Revenge to love, My heart is with you, Jab love hua, pavani akka ff name and You this time also fabulous…. You know in You this time the protagonist too pregnant like you” Sanky said with the smiling face. “Awwww this many lovely stories? Sure I’ll read don’t worry my darling hubby” she said while pulling Sanky’s cheeks while Swasha faked a cough and giggled. All chatted for times then immersed themselves in their duty.

Days started to pass…. Months passed like week… it was starting of Ninth month…. Sanky took very good care of her… whole apartment treated Ragini like their own daughter. Daily Sanky massaged her legs and provided juice and foods at proper time. Simply to say he took care of her like a small child.

Elegant Evening

Ragini was heading towards pooja room but was stopped by Sanky, “where are you going?” “why? Cant you see? One is holding aarthi plate where will the person go? Going to pooja room only” said with attitude. “ohh while doing pooja will you remove bindi?” he said pointing head forehead. She kept hand on forehead and sensed then said, “I pasted a sticker bindi… but it fell down what can I do for that” He shook his head in disbelief and left from there.

“without uttering a word he went out…. Is he irked?” she thought to herself after lighting diya in pooja room. She stared at the clock which shows 6:30pm. Just then heard door opening sound and turned towards the entrance where Sanky is removing his slippers. He came straight to her and handed Liquid bindi. She stared at him. “look this won’t fall down… use this daily afterwards” he said in dominative tone.

She stared the bindi… Janaki… where is your bindi? Shekar asked while she replied ‘offo’ it fell down. He placed liquid bindi in her hands and said I don’t want any silly explanation like this… use this afterwards. Janaki smiled a bit to see his behaviour while RK and Ragini (age nearly 9) giggled. ‘Haan maa when you paste bindi then you looks like goddess’ RK said. That’s my son shekar put his arm around his shoulder and patted. Ragini kissed her parents cheek while they too kissed and said I love you beta… RK pouted then whom loves me? I love you bhaiya… Ragini said and gave bone crushing hug to him. The scene flashed on her mind and tears escaped from her eyes.

“What happened Ragini?” she nodded in nothing. he hugged her from side and wondered what happened to her? Is she…

Screen freezes with side hugging pose of Ragsan.
