ode 68
It’s morning…
Maheshwaris are packing things for leaving…
All are downstairs…
Annapurna “It’s such an irony… We don’t want you to leave but on the other hand,we can’t even stop you… But still I am saying… Plz stay back…”
Sharmishtha “Don’t say like this Annapurna ji… We have already been a burden… It’s our daughter’s sasural and we were staying here… Now plz… Don’t stop us…”
Annapurna “Why are you saying like this…. You are not Just bride’s mother… But of Groom’s as well…”
Sharmishtha “But still…”
Annapurna “Sharmishtha ji…”
Sharmishtha “ok…”
They hug…
DP “It will feel so empty without you all here… I am now habitual to have my evening tea with you and sharing the jokes and discussing on current topics…”
Shekhar “Think about me DP ji… You can still have Ramprasad ji with you but I will be all alone… Pissed between mother and wife…”
They laugh…
DP “Shshshshsh…. They will here…”
Shekhar “Oh… I forgot that they are also here… Thank you…”
They also hug…
Swara hugs Ragini…
Ragini “I will miss you so much Bhabhi… I wish that in next birth,we are made sisters rather than sister in law…
At least we can be together…”
Swara “Awwwww…. Ragu…. (She spreads her arm and they hug…) I will miss you too… And the most…”
Sanskar “Ya ya… As if I don’t exist… BTW…. Ragu… Don’t trust her… She is lying…”
Swara “Sanskar!!”
Ragini giggles…
Sanskar “What hihihihi….??? Swara Ragini is also lying…”
Ragini glares him…
Sanskar “No… Not totally… If she gets time from missing Lakshya then she will miss you…”
Ragini blushes hard…
Aisha “Stop it you guys… You will be away for just 2 days… Not 20 years…”
Swara “Where is Raisha??”
Aisha “She is with Rohit ji… Don’t know what has suddenly happened to her… She always calms down in his arms… May be he is child friendly that’s why…”
SwaRagSan smile and say together “Yaa may be…”
Aisha looks on “What???”
They all nod their head in no telling nothing…
Ragini looks towards the stairs….
Swara notices it and smiles…
Swara “MAA… Where is Bhai??? He will not sew them off??”
Annapurna “Must be coming lethargically… After all Ragini is going…”
Ragini blushes…
All laugh…
Lakshya comes down with the suitcase…
All look at him…
Annapurna “Lakshya!!! What is this?? Where are you going…”
Lakshya “Ma… I was thinking their house is newly renovated… They must face difficulty in arranging everything and setting it… It’s marriage house and we have to prepare for evening’s function after pooja… So I was thinking I will stay with them for 2 days…”
Annapurna glares him….
Swara laughs “Seriously Bhai??? You got only this reason…”
Lakshya “And they need help in decorations also…”
Annapurna signs no…
Lakshya then ask Sharmishtha… She is about to say when Sanskar speaks on his behalf “Bhai … House is fully furnished and pre decorated for marriage… We had already instructed the workers…”
Lakshya makes a face… Then he gives few more reasons to go with them but Everytime he gets disappointed…
All smile seeing his antics…
Sujata “Dekh lo jiji… Chora pehle se hi biwi ke pallu se bandh Gaya Hai… Jahan Ragini wahan Lakshya… Jab ki ab tak shadi bhi nai Hui Hai inki…”
Ragini blushes…
Annapurna “This is love Sujata… And I wish it grows strong with time… But for now Lakshya go and keep your suitcase back… You will be staying here only…”
He looks helplessly but then agrees…
Lakshya “At least I can drop them…”
Annapurna smiles and nods…
Lakshya “Thank God…”
He decides to rush out before anybody changes the decision… He does so… Everyone laughs seeing him…
Kavya “Wow… It will be so interesting… You will live there… I will live here…. We will behave like love birds before marriage… We will have fun…”
Ravish “No you won’t… (She looks at him) I told you na… I don’t know these dramas and all… I am not habituated to it…”
Kavya “Don’t worry I am there no… I will teach you everything…”
Ravish smiles and comes close to her….
She pushes him away “Shshshsh… What are you doing…. Everyone is here…”
He gives her a flying kiss and leaves….
She blushes…
In the car…
Lakshya is driving…. Sanskar is sitting beside him… Ragini is in the back seat with Dadi… Lakshya adjusts the mirror to see her… She also steals glances and signs Lakshya to concentrate on driving… Lakshya smiles and drives….
They reach Maheshwari Mansion….
adi gets emotional seeing the house…. She is happy as well to see it perfectly fine…
Shekhar “Come… Let us enter….”
Sharmishtha is about to enter when she recalls the previous incident of blast and stops in her way…. Ragini notices it…. She goes to her and keeps her hand on her shoulder…
Ragini “MAA…. Nothing wrong will happen this time…. Trust me…”
Sharmishtha nods and smiles…
All smile…
They enter their house….
They loved the interiors and the new look of the house….
Dadi “Everything is the result of your hard work before this house…”
Ragini “Yes Dadi… Bhai and papa have worked very hard for this…”
Sanskar “Ragini,there is a third person also involved… (She looks at him… He looks at Lakshya) Lakshya Bhai…”
She smiles seeing him… She thought to run to him and hug really tightly then kissing him…. But she stopped herself from doing so as she becomes conscious of her surrounding….
Lakshya smiles back…
Dadi “Pandit jee must be coming to do the Pooja…. Everything is prepared…. Go all of you and get fresh…. After Pooja,We have to prepare for Mehandi and Sangeet also….”
They nod…
Ragini goes to her room…. Lakshya follows her… She keeps her things in its place… Lakshya follows her and staring her all the while…
She looks at him and smiles… He also smiles and stares her all the way following her…
Ragini “What???”
Lakshya “Nothing”
Ragini continues her work…. He continues his….
Ragini again looks at him “What???”
Lakshya “Jee bhar ke dekh rha Hoon tumhe…. Phir I will not be able to meet you for few moments… But ufff…. Your looks… Kitna bhi dekh loon (He pulls her in her arms) Mann hi nai bharta…”
They touch each other’s forehead with their’s…
Ragini “Mr. Kapoor srf 2 days more… Uske baad you can see me all your life…”
Lakshya “After that I won’t let anyone take you away from me… Not even God… He also has to kneel down before my love for you… And if he doesn’t I will make him do so…”
Ragini “Itna pyaar….!!!”
Lakshya “Nai…. Isse bhi Jada…. Ye to srf 0.001% Hai”
Ragini blushes…
Lakshya “Ragini… There’s no one now… Ab to bol do….”
Ragini “Lakshya!!! You start anywhere and anytime…”
Lakshya “Ragini…. I have earned that right… Say na…”
Ragini “Ok… Fine… I…”
Lakshya “No no no no stop”
Ragini looks on…
Lakshya “Ragini plz don’t start your I… I…. I…. Wala recording fir se… Start and end it in a second… Ok???”
Ragini nods…
Lakshya smiles…
Ragini “Lakshya I Lo—”
Lakshya’s phone rings… They get interrupted….
He sees the screen and gets shocked…
Lakshya “This is limit…. I am sure there is a transmitter fit in either you or me…”
Ragini is clueless….
Lakshya “Or she must be learning some planchette or something like that…”
Ragini asks the matter… He shows her the screen… She laughs out loud…. It shows SWARA CALLING….
Lakshya receives the call “Tumhe Kya sapna AATA Hai ki main apni hone wali biwi ke sath romance Kar rha Hoon…. Everytime you become kabab me haddi…”
On the other hand,it’s Annapurna calling from her phone “Lakshya!!! Think before you speak… There can be someone else calling from someone else’s phone…”
Lakshya (shocked) “MAA… You… Sorry…”
Ragini widens her eyes and blushes… Her cheeks turn red…
Lakshya sees her smiles…. He pulls her towards him while talking on phone… Ragini buries her face in his chest… He Tightens his grip on her…
Annapurna “I knew it that once you will go, then you won’t return… Come back soon…”
Lakshya ” yes maa… I will…. Ok…”
They cut the phone…
Lakshya “Choro I love you… I will say I love you…. I LOVE YOU…”
Ragini “I Lo—”
Lakshya puts his finger on her lips… He caresses her lips… She closes her eyes by his touch…
He leans in to kiss her… They are about to kiss when they hear a cough,a knock and the sound of “I swear that we didn’t see anything” simultaneously…
They separate from each other blushing hard… It’s Ravish, Aisha and Sanskar standing on the door…
Ragini is turning more and more red…
Lakshya too…
Ravish “I just came to inform something but…”
Sanskar “Another film was going on here….” He smiles teasingly…
Aisha “Guys we are here for official work…”
Ragini hears this comes to her role of a Chief…
Ravish “Ragini… Tomorrow is hearing… We have to present the best case… Kabir shall not be spared…”
Aisha turns upset and teary….
Sanskar “Don’t worry… Nothing will go wrong tomorrow…. Ragini has a proof by which he will be clean bold… And that will definitely lead to his death sentence…”
Ragini “And everybody will be at peace and will get their happiness…”
She smiles looking at Aisha which goes unnoticed by all…
Precap:
RagLak, Ravish-Kavya Mehandi and Sangeet function….
