Episode 48:
The sun rose bringing in a new morning in our Ragini, Sanskar , Swara , Raj and Laksh’s life.
“ Ragini…close your alarm , I am getting up…stop it…Ragini…” Swara spoke up in her sleep trying hard to reach the side table to switch off the phone alarm herself , she couldn’t , knowing how punctual Ragini was angered her further , “ Ragini stop it…this much loud…is it something special today?” Swara was surely angry.
“ Swara, I know you won’t get up and try to sleep again so I am increasing its sound, get up on time in my absence haan…” Ragini’s words came from within the phone , hearing it Swara got up in a second and looked at it , her eyes wide open.
She hit her head with her hand and switched off the alarm herself , “ She is not here dumbo..” She reminded herself.
“ Wait..how she got my phone’s password…Ragu ki Bachi…I’ll just call her” Swara thought angrily, she was about to dial the number when she heard continous bangings on her room door.
“ What? Who’s there at this time?” She thought angrily as she got down from the bed and opened the door.
“ Swara..thankfully you opened the door..come fast…” Her friend , Ankita said , she sounded rather tensed and this worried Swara too.
“ Where?” Swara asked staring at her face with her eyebrows raised , her usual way of asking a question.
“ Just come…” Anikta dragged her in her night suit only.

Ragini slowly opened her eyes , it was her usual time of waking up, she tried raising her head , she couldn’t , she averted her eyes here and there confused , realization struck her , Her head was on Sanskar’s shoulder and his head on her’s. Slowly she held his head and moved it as delicately as she could , she would’t disturb his sleep at the end…getting her head aside she placed Sanskar’s head on her shoulder. He was still sleeping peacefully , content with his life whatever the condition maybe. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes as she couldn’t rotate her face, a small smile climbed up her face as she saw his face, his innocence which she always adored, “ What I did? My Yesterday’s behaviour , Sanskar was so worried…I actually made him cry…but why did he cry?” Ragini thought to herself tensed.
She knew the reason , she very much knew it but she just tried to run away from reality, run away from the reality that he loved her.
She shrugged the thoughts off her brain for sometime as she kept looking at Sanskar sleeping by her side, his head on her shoulder , her smile widened with time.
**
“ Ragini…” Sanskar lowered his eyes as he looked at her suddenly getting up from his sleep ,he was embarrassed realising he was sleeping on her shoulder.
“ Sanskar…I am hungry…if you are done with your sleep , lets go and eat something…” She said biting her lower lip ignoring his embarrassed voice , she wanted to make him smile because he was the one who cried because of her yesterday.
Sanskar’s lips curved into an unknown smile , “ Grandma’s hungry…” He ran out saying as Ragini was left with her mouth wide open , finally she closed her mouth and stamped her foot hard on the bus’s floor and then walked out , The bus had been at halt at a Dhaba from past half hour.
**
“ Kolkata…but why?” Sujata asked Laksh who was walking out holding a small bag, he had just answered her previous question asking as to where he was going and now arrived the next question.
“ For a special Mission…” He said with his usual cute smile , he so loved to smile.
“ Laksh…straight answer…” Sujata became the stern mother.
“ Secret…” Laksh ran out taking his car keys while Sujata was left yelling at him to atleast tell her some more information about his trip to Kolkata.
**
“ Ankita…where are you taking me yaar?” Swara was surely angry on being taken somewhere in night suit.
“ Here…” Ankita stopped in the middle of collage ground , many students were standing there ahead of Swara forming a crowd.
“ Swara has come..” Ankita screamed , Swara turned to face her confused while Ankita pointed towards the Terrace of collage building visible from the ground , As Swara saw what she did , her eyes widened.
“ Raaaajjjjjjjj…” Swara ran in front while the crowd gave her way , they knew only she was the wanted one there , they all were standing out of nowhere.
She reached as close to the building as she could, “ Raj…what are you doing on the Terrace? You know na we are forbid to go there and that too on the edge…” She literally screamed.
“ Swara…” Raj said smiling.
“ Raj…first answer me…” Swara asked sternly , this guy was crazy , she knew it.
“ Ok…come here…I’ll tell you..” He said with a wide smile , Swara squinted her eyes in anger , was it an order or a deal?
“ I’ll not come… you come down and tell me everything…” She knew hers was an order for sure.
“ Swara…are you mad , from past 1 hour he is scaring us that he’ll do suicide if we don’t call you and now you…Princi is also out…what if he does something…” Ankita said placing a hand on Swara’s shoulder , shock was truly very much less a word to describe what Swara was feeling.
“ What…Raj , you are mad , come down…now or else..I’ll not leave you…how dare you say you’ll do suicide…Raj…” Swara was screaming from below.
“ I’ll jump if you don’t come up now Swara..” Raj said in a serious tone.
“ Stop this dirty joke of yours Raj..” Even the thought of loosing Raj scared Swara.
“ I am not joking , let me just come down and tell you..” Raj said as he moved further towards the edge , Swara’s eyes grew wide with his each step.
“ I am coming…” She said just in time while a huge smile climbed up on Raj’s serious face , Swara ran up as fast as she could, Raj was her friend , infact best friend and maybe someone special too.
**
Swara’s fragile hands banged the closed door of Terrace like anything , Raj had left the edge of the Terrace and so the show for students was over , they all left to their classrooms , Raj opened the door as he gave a huge smile to Swara, “ Wait…” He said slowly and held a cloth infront of her eyes , then he tied it on her eyes while Swara let him do what he was doing without resisting , she wanted to know what he was up to.
“ Now come..” Raj held Swara’s hand and took her inside walking as slowly as he could , Swara just followed him.
“ Raj , now what is this , listen just tell me what you were doing , after that I’ll tell you whats the result of messing up with Swara…Swara Gadodia…” She said in her usual Swara style , things were upto brim now , Raj remained quite as he slowly made her sit on a chair , Swara could only feel it.
“ Listen do anything to me later , for the time , just sit here and open it after 2 minutes…” He left her hand and walked somewhere.
“ Raj…Raj…” Swara kept saying confused , she heard some tunes from somewhere…she opened the cloth tied on her eyes.
There he was standing in front of her with a guitar in his hand and his back turned to her , she heard the sweet and slow tunes from the guitar as she turned her eyes around , Ballons of white and red colour were scattered around in the most beautiful way possible , ribbons of the same colour were tied on walls and table kept their , the table had a vase with roses filled in it…A smile automatically seemed to climb up her lips.
O…
Aaja aaja dil ke gaaon
Raahein dekhe koi
Jaagegi phir kismat sohne
Jaagegi phir kismat sohne
Thi ab tak jo soyi…
The voice pulled Swara out of her trance as she was looking around , Raj turned with a pretty smile , he came towards her and placed the guitar on the table, then he started dancing around Swara as he sang .
Hua chaaron ore shehnaai shor
Tu meri ore chal nikla
Chadhi prem lor, O dil ke chor
Kar meri bhor, ab mukh dikhla
Raanjhanaa hua main tera
Kaun tere bin mera
Rounaqein tumhi se meri
Kaun tere bin mera
Tera hai chaar chuphera
Kaun tere bin mera
O.. kaun tere bin mera
Swara turned around as she smiled seeing him dance , she rotated along with him as he rotated while dancing around her smiling.
Hua chaaron ore shehnaai shor
Tu meri ore ab chal nikla
Chadhi prem lor, O dil ke chor
Kar meri bhor, ab mukh dikhla
Tan thirke thirke
Man behke behke
Tera kehke kehke khudko
Mere dil ki baat jaane qaaynaat
Tere dil ki khabar bas mujhko (x2)
He pointed to her while singing and dancing , then he held her hand and they both together started dancing to the beats of the song enjoying the time they were spending together.
Aaana baatein pyaar ki laana
Aana thoda pyaar jataana
Raanjhanaa hua main tera…
Kaun tere bin mera
O.. kaun tere bin mera
Rang bikhra bikhra
Sab nikhra nikhra
Jaayein jidhar jidhar ye naina
Mujhe khud pe naaz
Hua pagla aaj
Raha apne hi bas hoon main naa (x2)
Aana mujhe bas kar lena
Aana jaa has kar lena
Hua chaaron ore shehnaai shor
Tu meri ore chal nikla
Chadhi prem lor, O dil ke chor
Kar meri bhor, ab mukh dikhla
Raanjhanaa hua main tera
Kaun tere bin mera
Rounaqein tumhi se meri
Kaun tere bin mera
Tera hai chaar chuphera
O.. kaun tere bin mera
Swara was smiling as she was dancing with him , she didn’t knew why they were dancing but yes they were and she was enjoying it to the fullest , she loved Raj’s company…alot.
Hua chaaron ore shehnaai shor
Tu meri ore chal nikla
Chadhi prem lor, O dil ke chor
Kar meri bhor, ab mukh dikhla..
As Raj stopped singing , he left Swara’s hand , took a rose from the vase in an instant and sat on his knees , “you know people admire stars at night but i have got that pleasure to admire one in the morning too , will my star always help me to admire stars in the morning too??” Swara’s eyes widened as she heard him.
“ This was by what you planned to propose your love na?”
Raj smiled and took out the Big Letter he kept under the table , “ Swara that day you didn’t realize but who can be my star other than you? I love you…Yes , I love you a lot…Gradually living in your friendship , I didn’t realize when I fell for you…Your smile brought smile on my face , your tears brought tears on my face and yes , not to forget , you are my Star…My Love…My Star…” He said with innocence in his voice as he still offered her the Rose and Letter , Swara kept looking at him as tear drops accumulated her eyes…
