Saathiya ~ Teri Meri Kahani (Shot 3)

Saathiya ~ Teri Meri Kahaani

Sorry for any mistakes or any inconveniences.

Shot 3:

“Why did Lakshya say thank you to me?” Swara thinks to herself as she works in the kitchen.

AP walks inside and sees Swara distraught.

“Swara, what happened? Are you okay?” AP asks, gaining Swara’s attention.

“Yes BadiMaa, I’m fine.” Swara smiles, avoiding the topic.

“Beta, is it possible if you to make rice tonight for dinner?” AP asks.

“Why are you asking her Jiji? You should order her, she’s the Bahu of this house isn’t she? So I’m sure she will be able to do anything!” Sujata interuppts and taunts Swara in some way, AP looks at Sujata.

“And I want Pav Bhaji, Daal and Vegetable Curry made too.” Sujata orders while looking at Swara.

“Sujata. . .”

“Badimaa, I will be able to do it, don’t worry.” Swara interrupts smiles at AP while Sujata rolls her eyes, walking away.

XX

Ragini and Karthik were walking back.

“So, what did they say?” Karthik asks.

“They said they will call me and let me now.” Ragini responds while thinking.

Soon a buzz from her phone disturbs her, she instantly glances at the screen and answers the call.

“Yes Swara. . .”

“Ragini, where are you? And what is Maa telling me? You left the house? But why and where are you now?” Swara concernedly asks from the other side.

“Swara, calm down. . . Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

“Ragini, if Maa didn’t tell me then I wouldn’t have found out, I’m such a careless sister, I didn’t even bother calling you.” Swara sadly utters.

“No Swara, you’re not a bad sister, if someone has to have the title then that’s me.”

“No Ragini, you’re. . . Anyways forget all this, have you found a place to stay at?” Swara asks, avoiding that topic so that it doesn’t bring bad memories.

“Yeah, I found a place.” Ragini says and looks at Karthik, who smiles at her.

“You’re out of the house and so is Lakshya. . .”

“What? But why?” Ragini slightly worries as she asks Swara, interrupting.

Swara tells Ragini everything that happened and Ragini is stunned.

“Bade Papa also warned all of us not to help him at all, but to he frank, he deserves this.”

“Swara. . .”

“Achcha Baba sorry but god knows where he must be wondering about. . . Okay, I have to go now but you better keep texting otherwise you know me na?” Swara says.

“Okay Swara, take care.” Ragini utters and disconnects the call.

Ragini was unsure why she is worrying too much, is it because she still feels for him despite the unfairness he had done with her? Or is it under humanity?

“I wonder where Lakshya is.” Ragini says in her mind and Karthik notices her worried face.

XX

Lakshya, who was sleeping on the bed sits up, yawning and scratching the back of his head.

All of a sudden, a thought popped in his mind and he rushed towards the door opening it and glancing up.

“Still a lock on the door? Where is she?” Lakshya mummers to himself and looks down, thinking.

“No Karthik, I don’t want to.” Ragini’s voice reaches Lakshya’s ears, making him look up and Ragini walks past with Karthik.

Lakshya moves back into the dark, hiding his face but watching.

Karthik holds Ragini’s hand and Ragini sighs.

“Here you go.” Karthik hands a plate of Pani Puri in her hand.

“See this Ragini, there’s 6 in here, 3 mine and 3 yours, challenge is fair, let’s see who finishes their one first.” Karthik explains and Ragini nods.

“On your marks, get set, go!” Karthik shouts and both grab onto the first one, putting in their mouth.

“What happened to you Lucky? Why does it affect you seeing them like this? It shouldn’t, Ragini isn’t anyone to you and get that in your brain! You don’t and shouldn’t care!” Lakshya sternly says to himself.

While swallowing, Ragini starts coughing.

“Ragini. . .” Karthik utters and glances around to find a water bottle.

Ragini touches her chest and continues coughing, Lakshya forwards the water bottle and Karthik looks at him, Ragini sees the bottle and without looking at her person, she starts drinking it.

Lakshya looks at her with tenderness rather than anger.

A song starts playing as loud as possible. Reaching everyone’s ears.

*Teri kaali ankhiyon se jind meri jaage
Dhadkan se tej daudu, sapno se aagey*

Lakshya looses himself into Ragini’s face while Ragini finishes drinking water, she inhales deep breathes.

*Ab jaan lutt jaaye, ye jahaan chhut jaaye
Sang pyaar rahe, main rahun na rahun*

“Thank. . .” She stops half way as her eyes meet his.

*Sajda tera sajda*

Ragini looks at Lakshya and Lakshya looks at her.

*Din reain karoon na hi chain karoon
Sajda tera sajda
Rak vaar karoon meri jaan lut doon*

The music stops.
“Amrita! Are you deaf?! Why have you put the volume up this loud?!” A woman shouts.

“Thank you.” Karthik thanks Lakshya, bringing him back to reality, Ragini also avoids eye contact.

Lakshya walks away without uttering anything and Ragini sees him walking inside the house.

“Lakshya stays here?” Ragini asks herself and then Karthik grabs her attention.

“Forget this Ragini, you take rest.” Ragini nods and starts walking towards her house.

“What is wrong with you Ragini? Just move on, he can’t affect you anymore.” Ragini says to herself while climbing the stairs.

“Lakshya. . . Why? Why are you showing softness? She’s not worth it, have you forgotten what she did with you? She ruined your life and snatched the love of your life from you! Though I don’t feel anything for Swara but now the drama is finished. I don’t need to act and feel attached her!” Lakshya asks himself frustratedly, giving up and running his hand through his hair.

It was a while, Lakshya was hungry and soon he hears a knock on the door. He walks towards the door and opens it.

A boy yet again hands him a bag and runs off, Lakshya smiles seeing a containers. He closes the door and walks towards the bed, he sits down and takes the container out, opening it and seeing different food. His mouth becomes watery, he couldn’t resist and takes a bite of the Biryani.

“Yummm.” He closes his eyes and satisfies his hunger.

He continues eating, forgetting everything and focusing on the food. Just then realisation hits him and his face stiffens and smile fades.

“This tastes different from what I ate earlier. . . It taste like Ragini’s handmade food.” Lakshya says to himself after completing the whole food.

***Flashback***

“Lakshya ji, taste this and tell me how it is made.” Ragini says while standing near Lakshya with a plate of Biryani in her hand.

“Not now Ragini, later.” Lakshya says as he’s too busy typing on the laptop.

“Lakshya Ji, please taste it. . .” Ragini innocently pouts and Lakshya sighs, looking up at her.

“Ragini, can’t you see I’m doing some important stuff.”

“Yes, I can see very clearly how important it is.” Ragini utters as she looks at the laptop screen, seeing Lakshya playing games.

“Then? Why are you disturbing.” Lakshya responds, turning back to the screen, continuing playing games.

“Lakshya. . .” DP’s voice reaches Lakshya’s ears, making him fiddle and jump. He quickly opens up an presentation slide, pretending that he’s working.

DP walks inside, seeing Lakshya on the laptop and then looks at Ragini.

“Has he actually been doing work or just playing around?” DP asks Ragini, who looks at DP.

Lakshya looks up at Ragini with pleading eyes while Ragini looks at him.

Ragini controls her laugh and shakes her head positively, responding to DP’s question.

“Papa Ji, he was just telling me how he is going to present the presentation tomorrow.” Ragini lies and looks at DP, DP then walks forward, glancing at the laptop screen.

“Hmmm, where’s Mehta and Sons file?” DP asks and Lakshya turns to him, looking at him.

“That’s with Bhai, he’s working on it.” Lakshya responds and DP nods, walking out.

“Ahem Ahem!” Ragini coughs, drawing Lakshya’s attention.

“Ragini Ragini Ragini!” Lakshya says happily, standing up and smiling at her.

“Thank you, you saved me.” Lakshya thanks and she forwards the plate.

Lakshya happily picks the spoon up and starts eating the Biryani on the plate.

“Wow Ragini, this is amazing! Yummm!” Lakshya compliments and continues eating it.

Ragini smiles seeing him enjoying and eating.

“Ummmmmmmahh!” He kisses Ragini’s cheek as he’s pleased with her food.

Ragini gets shocked and blinks at him but he is too busy eating the food, Ragini then releases a small smile while looking at Lakshya.

***End of Flashback***

Ragini was roaming around, forward and back in hunger.

“I never expected to see Lakshya here and like this. Has the food reached him?” Ragini says to herself.

Mr Sharma’s wife had given few of the food ingredients to Ragini to cook for herself, but only she knows why she gave it away to Lakshya.

(I wouldn’t have, I would’ve filled my tummy first ? But I guess Ragini still loves Lakshya ? We need to get her over him ?)

She hears a knock, that brings her out of her thoughts and she walks forward, opening the door.

She is surprised to see Swara with a bag.

“Swara, you? How did you find my address?” Ragini asks confusingly.

“Tan Tan Tan!” Swara responds while waving her phone.

Ragini understands and shakes her head.

“You actually tried the tracking app, does it work?”

“Of course it did, that’s why I’m here.” Swara smiles and walks inside, Ragini follows.

“How are everyone?” Ragini asks and Swara turns towards her.

“They’re all fine and I brought you food.” Swara says and starts opening the bag after placing it on the table.

“Food.” Ragini happily says after inhaling the aroma of the food.

“Yes food, now quickly come and eat it before it turns could.” Swara says and starts opening the tiffins.

X

“I think I should say thank you to her.” Lakshya says and stands up, confidently sure that it was Ragini who had given this food to him.

Lakshya walks forward but a phone call stops him, he looks at the caller ID and rolls his eyes, picking it up.

“Hello?” Lakshya answers.

“Swara haven’t sent you food again did she?” The person on the other side asks.

“No she didn’t.” Lakshya responds.

“Where are you anyways?”

“I’m at the old old old old house of your. . .” Before Lakshya could complete the phone disconnects.

Lakshya sighs as he looks at the blank screen of his phone.

XX

“Ji, the dinner’s ready!” AP interrupts DP and DP instantly disconnects the call, facing AP.

“Annapurna! Couldn’t you knock before coming in?!” DP angrily utters as he eyes her and walks out.

“What happened to Ji?” AP confusingly asks herself with DP’s sudden behaviour.

XX

“Wah Swara, what magic do you have in your hands, love it.” Ragini expresses as she takes a bite of the food in front of her.

“Bas Bas! I honestly miss your food, my food is nothing compared to yours.”

Before Ragini could respond, the door knock interrupts.

“I’ll see.” Swara offers and stands up, walking towards the door.

She opens the door and sees Lakshya standing at the door. Both look at each other.

“You?! What are you doing here?!” Swara angrily shouts, hearing Swara, Ragini looks to the side and is surprised seeing Lakshya. 

“I came here to say Thank You.” Lakshya answers back while looking at Swara.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you saying Thank You in the first place?” Swara lashes out, confused and angry.

XX

“Oh My God! This means Bhaisaa. . .” Sujata shockingly says as she walks down, not believing what she had either heard or witnessed.

As she walks towards the step, she sees DP, RP, Sanskaar and AP heading towards the exit of MM, confusion surrounds her but she decides to simply follow.

XX

“Are you actually high or something?” Lakshya confusingly asks while looking at Swara.

“No, I’m sure you are.” Swara retorts and Ragini stands up, walking towards the two.

“Why the hell are you acting strange?! You. . . You’re helping me and now showing cold behaviour face to face?”

“I’m and helping you? What! When! How?!”

Lakshya takes his phone out and unlocks it, pressing on something and turning the screen towards Swara so she could see. Swara grabs it as she rolls her eyes and looks at the screen, reading ‘her’ message.

As she reads it, her eyes widen in shock and she looks up at Lakshya.

“And all those letter you sent! Are you for real? Do you have a memory loss condition?!” Lakshya irritatedly responds and Swara turns to Ragini.

“Ragini, I didn’t write this nor I sent him any letter.” Swara tells and Lakshya looks at her.

“And don’t tell me that you didn’t send the food as well.” Lakshya sarcastically exclaims and Swara looks at him.

“I didn’t.” Swara honestly responds and Lakshya eyes her confusingly.
“How would I know where Bade Papa was born and why will I be helping you in the first place?!” Swara adds and hands Lakshya his phone back.

“I knew it, why will a selfish woman help me in the first place!” Lakshya says and starts thinking.

“What did you say?!” Swara asks as she glares at Lakshya.

Ragini also looks at him in disbelief.

“I said I knew a Kamini woman like you wouldn’t send me food!” Lakshya loudly says as he eyes Swara.

“You fell low and now you’re calling me Kamini?! I have no actual interest in even helping you after what you had done to my sister!” Swara shouts as she glares at Lakshya.

“And what she done wasn’t anything?! You all frickin blame ME?! But no one actually sees what she had did!” Lakshya shouts and Ragini looks at him while Swara glares at him.

He looks at the two with slight chuckle.

“This was your plan wasn’t it?! Couldn’t get the small one so went to the big one to. . .” Lakshya utters but before he could complete, he receives an tight slap across his face which turns his head to the side.

He could feel the stinging sensation on his cheek, he looked up to only see Ragini standing in front of Swara and Swara looking at Ragini, who was looking at Lakshya with an confident anger.

“Get out! I have no places for cheap thinkers like you!” Ragini says and moves Swara away, closing the door on Lakshya’s face.

Lakshya was stunned, he never expected this action from Ragini.

X

“Ragini, I’m proud of you.” Swara says and hugs Ragini. Ragini hugs her back with slight guilt but then controls her emotions as what she did was nothing compared to what he had said.

“Swara, I’m sorry.” Ragini softly utters, hugging her sister tight and Swara understands which sorry she meant.

“No Ragini, no more sorries or I’ll stop talking to you.” Swara says and breaks the hug.

Ragini looks at her with faint smile and Swara cups her face.

“I’ll need to leave now but do call me if you need anything.” Ragini nods as Swara joins the side of her head with Ragini’s.

(Swaraginiiii!! ?)

X

Lakshya enters his house, angry and thinking of what actually is happening.

“If Swara isn’t helping me then who is? And why in the name of Swara?! And how dare Ragini slap me?!” Lakshya asks himself, putting his head down and running his hands through his hair, thinking as hard as he could and unable to get over the slap he had gotten by Ragini.

X

After a while, Swara walks down with the bag with a small smile on her face, humming a tune but stops as she senses someone in front of her. It was DP, Sujata, AP, RP and Sanskaar.

“Are they here to meet Ragini?” Swara asks herself in her mind, giving a small faint smile.

“Sh. . .” Swara utters, in order to guide them to Ragini but gets interrupted.

“We never expected this from you Swara.” DP utters, looking at her in disbelief while Swara is confused.

Swara looks at Sanskaar and Sanskaar looks at her.

“Swara, why?” RP questions, drawing her attention towards him and she noticed him staring at the bag.

Sujata looks at DP and shakes her head in disbelief.

Upon hearing the sound, Lakshya opens his door, drawing everyone’s attention towards him. AP controlled herself as she clenched her Pallu.

Swara then starts thinking, “Lakshya said I was helping him when I wasn’t and now they’re here, something is wrong.” Swara is now sure something is very wrong as she looks at the DP, RP, Sujata, AP and Sanskaar.

Lakshya glances at everyone, knowing what exactly was going on in their minds.

“If you’re thinking she came for me then you’re totally wrong, who loves me enough to actually come to me and give me food?! She’s here for your favourite and more loved person. . . Ragini!” Lakshya irritatedly reveals, walking back inside the house while all were surprised.

Ragini was also disturbed by the sound so she steps out of her house and looks down, DP, RP, AP, Sujata and Sanskaar look up, seeing Ragini.

Ragini walks down with slight nervousness and stands besides Swara, folding her hand, greeting them.

Lakshya, who was inside reflects on his own words as he looks at the box of containers.

“Who loves me enough to actually come and give me food?” Ragini’s food was flashing in his mind but soon was interrupted as soon as he remembers Ragini’s slap which raises anger in him.

“Bade Papa, I was telling you that Swara was here for another reason and that she could never go against your decision.” Sanskaar says to which DP feels slightly embarrassed.

DP walks away without saying anything.

“Sorry.” RP apologises and leaves.

Sujata follows and AP walks towards Ragini.

“Take care of yourself.” AP says and walks away.

“Madam Ji and Dupatte wali Dost meeting without me?” Sanskaar raises his eyebrows looking at two, making them slightly giggle.

“I think we should leave now.” Swara says and Sanskaar agrees.

Ragini waves as the two walk away, seeing them gone, Ragini turns to then side but her feet twists and she falls onto the floor.

“Ahhh!” She hisses in pain and Lakshya, who sees her as his door wasn’t closed stands up, walking forward.

“Ragini, are you okay?” Karthik asks, bending down and Lakshya stops his footsteps.

“Yeah I’m. . . Ahhh!” Ragini utters as she tried to get up but it failed as he ankle was paining.

“How are you gunna walk up? I’m sorry but. . .” Karthik utters and picks her up in his arm, shocking her and Lakshya.

“I needed to do this.” Karthik completes, walking up with her.

Lakshya looks away.

***Flashback***

“Ragini!” Lakshya chases Ragini but Ragini runs, while rushing up the stairs, her ankle twists and she falls down.

“Ahhh!” Lakshya instantly reaches her and bends down, holding her.

“Ragini, are you okay?” Lakshya asks with slight concern.

“Lakshya, it hurts.” Ragini complains with a small pout.

Lakshya, who looks at her, picks her up in his arm shocking her.

“Laksh. . .”
“Shhhh!” Lakshya interrupts, hushing her.

He then carries Ragini while AP and Sujata see this and give Lakshya a teasing smile while Ragini feels slightly embarrassed.

He places her on the bed as soon as reaching the room and bends down.

“Ragini, look into my eyes.” Lakshya says and Ragini looks at him.

She looses herself into his eyes and he quickly twists her feet.

“Ahh!” Ragini jumps and Lakshya stands up, making Ragini stand. Ragini moves her feet and isn’t feeling pain anymore.

“Thank you Lakshya.” Ragini happily hugs him and he hugs her back with a faint smile.

***End of Flashback***

“Why is it affecting me? I shouldn’t care, I don’t love her.” Lakshya stops himself and takes his steps backwards, moving away.

XX

Sujata, Swara, Sanskaar, RP, DP and AP walk inside the Maheshwari Mansion while Sujata looks at DP, unable to forget what she had heard or saw.

Sujata slowly walks upstairs.

***Sujata’s Flashback***

While walking past DP’s room, she heard him secretly talking so she stands near the window, listening.

(Ready to know DP’s secret? ?)

“Ji Parvati Ji, I am grateful to you and will never forget your favour.” DP utters and Sujata is stunned.

“Yes Parvati Ji, I have thrown Lakshya out of the house so that he could have time to think-over his decision and I haven’t found out who that person is that is filling Lakshya’s ears.”

Sujata was confused, she saw AP walking up the stairs and moves away.

“So this means Bhaisa and Parvati Ji are planning something together?!” Sujata gasps as she rushes away and into her room.

“I need to find out. . .” Sujata’s last words before she had closed her door.

***End of Sujata’s Flashback***

“I need to confront Bhaisaa, what plan has he made with Parvati Ji?” Sujata says to herself and is now determined to find out.

XX

“Now I understand this game. . . I’m sure that in the name of Swara, the person is doing this. . . And I know exactly why.” Lakshya says to himself confidently and feeling like a fool to fall into that person’s trap as now that person’s motive has clearly come forth.

Lakshya angrily hits his hand on the wall, shaking his head in disbelief to what he had thought and what that person had done.

X

Karthik places Ragini down on the bed.

“Thank you.” Ragini thanks and Karthik looks at her.

“Stay right here, I’ll go get the doctor.” Karthik says and walks out before Ragini could stop him.

XX

Dinner was finished and DP walks towards his room, Sujata follows.

“Bhaisaa.” Sujata utters and stops him.

DP turns and looks at Sujata.

“Good night.” Sujata wishes and walks away, not able to have the courage to ask him questions.

As Sujata walks away, DP eyes her confusingly.

DP then enters his room and shuts the door, turning to the side and thinking of the past.

***DP’s Flashback***

DP was unhappy with Swara marrying Lakshya, he never liked Swara beforehand but the only reason why he agreed for their marriage was because the property shares were on Lakshya’s name and DP could never allow that to happen thus he agreed for Swara and Lakshya’s marriage and went for the proposal.

Lakshya had signed the papers without reading them as he was too happy.

DP had tried his best to stop the wedding, he sent the goons to kidnap Swara but they kidnapped Ragini instead. After hearing the girls voice to be Ragini, he tells them to throw her out and they did, then after that Sanskaar’s goons come to kidnap her.

His work became easier after things started to happen with Swara, like the drug incident and all.

But to his unfortunate the marriage didn’t break so he had one option and that was Parvati.

He had called Parvati one day before the wedding.

“I don’t want Swara to become my daughter-in-law, do anything but just get rid of that Bengalan!” DP says secretly and Parvati agrees.

“Only on one condition. . . If you make Ragini Lakshya’s wife?” Parvati puts forth an condition.

“I’ll rather have her than Swara.” DP agrees and disconnects the call.

Then after that, Parvati started planning.

While hiding behind the Tree, it was DP who had called her and she told him his work was done.

DP then happily accepted Ragini as his Bahu as per the deal but Swara came again to ruin his life as Sanskaar’s wife and DP couldn’t take it so he called Parvati.

Parvati then guided Ragini how to behave and what to do with Swara.

But the day Swara exposed Ragini, everything fell out of place so Parvati suggested DP to name the property on Ragini’s name and DP did that but Ragini rejected.

Then DP thought everything will be better after Kavita came but his secret had come forth too.

Then after Swara fixed everything, DP still didn’t like the fact that she’s a Maheshwari but he’s much happier she isn’t HIS daughter-in-law.

After Ragini left the house, DP was walking past until he heard Lakshya and someone talking and before DP could see, that someone disappeared.

DP then made the decision of making Lakshya exit the house and returned an cancelled document of his and Ragini’s divorce papers.

***End of DP’s Flashback***

“I don’t mind Swara but I don’t like her and I can’t let myself be exposed.” DP says as he looks at the window, staring outside.

(Why not few scene of RagLak.)

XX

Ragini was sleeping after the doctor had left, he told her have complete bed rest but Lakshya had that one thing that forced him to go to Ragini and he isn’t sure what it is.

So he opened the door as the door was locked form the outside and had entered, he glanced around and saw Ragini sleeping.

He slowly took footsteps towards her and bent down, he then put the blanket up and touched her feet, twisting it. She jerked up, feeling the pain and glances around, not witnessing anyone.

“Ouch.” Ragini sighs half asleep and feels her foot perfectly fine.

“Lakshya. . .” She softly whispers which Lakshya hears, who had slid under the bed after seeing Ragini’s movement.

“She slapped you but still you’re here, why Lucky? Why?” He asks himself in his mind and puts his head down, giving up.

End of Shot 3, oh no!! This isn’t the last shot, urghhh! These mystery people have took up the whole space, finally one of them is out!!! It’s DP who talks to Parvati secretly, you see, both of them don’t like Swara and DP had to do something to get rid of her. . . Now left to expose is the other person who is helping Lakshya, need to think of something to get rid of that person ?

Shot 3 isn’t the last shot ?
