Hi guys…chaitali here with a new update…it’s very long if i say…have patience to read it!
Part 5
Ragini’s bidai was done by sumi.After that when she was about to leave in the car,shekhar came and hugged her.Ragini didn’t respond.She just stood there.
“You did a favour to me beta…people say that the children r indebted to the parents…but u made me indebted to u.I bless u…you will be the happiest wife in the world.May God fulfil ur all wish.”he said holding her hand.
Ragini gave him a bitter smile.
Ragini:I have only one wish papa…will God fulfil that?
Shekhar:What wish?Tell me.
Ragini:Will God erase my past memory?
Shekhar was stunned hearing that.
Shekhar:Why?
Ragini:Because i will not be able to live in present if i have those memories!Those memories will always haunt me.
Shekhar:Which memories beta?
Before ragini could give an answer,sumi came in between.
Sumi:She is being late shekhar ji…let her go.
Shekhar nods.Sumi made her sit in the car.She talks to her through the window.
Sumi:Take care of urself beta…and this is ur phone.
She handed over the phone to her.But ragini gave it back.
Ragini:I will not be able to see his calls.I won’t take the phone with me mom.Keep it to u.
Sumi :Ok
Laksh comes and sit beside ragini leaving a good amount of distance between them.The car started to move.Ragini leaves her parents and her bittersweet memories and moves to an unknown destination.She didn’t know what was waiting for her there.
She closed her eyes.She knew that the person sitting beside her was watching her every movement.But she didn’t want to open her eyes and look at that side.She remembers her moments with sansker,his family.Recalling those memories suddenly made her breathless.Her breathing became irregular and her eyes opened automatically.
She was feeling trouble to inhale.Laksh noticed that.
“What happened ragini!?Are u okey??”he asked holding her by shoulder by one hand and rubbing her back by other hand.
She couldn’t answer as she was struggling to catch breath.
“Just breath ragini…try to inhale deeply…u will be fine.”laksh said worried.
He opened the glass of the car so that she can breathe in fresh air of outside.She starts to breathe normally.Once she catches her breath,she shrugged off the hands of laksh on her.Laksh offered her water bottle,but she refused to take and pushed it.Laksh understood that she didn’t want his help or his proximity.
He moved away from her on the seat.He stared at his side of the road.Rest of the journey passes like this…in silence.Laksh in one side of the seat and ragini in other.Both staring at their side of the road.

“Now tell me where will you go?I will drop u there.It’s not safe to roam in the road at night.”sansker tells swara once he is done with the parking of the car.
“Oh please….no need to be so great.I know the men like u!You try to take advantage of girls in the name of help!”swara said stubbornly.
Sansker was surprised hearing her answer.
Sansker:What!I just wanted to help u as u r alone and u r saying this!Okey fine!If u don’t want then why will i bother to help u?i will leave u here to get molested by the goons…bye!
He entered in the car and started the car.He stopped the car after going a little.
“How can i leave that girl here?If uttara or ragini were in this position and nobody helps them then how would i feel?I should make her understand that this place is not safe.
He watches through the mirror that two drunken people were approaching to swara.He started to get out to help swara but stops thinking of something.
“Not now…let that girl to suffer for some time.Then she will understand that this not the place for her.I will go before something bad happens.Now let me see what she does!”he thought
Here swara was standing alone and saw that two people looking at her with lust.She felt tensed and disgusted at the same time.
“Look what a hot item!”one man said.
“Our night will be amazing “the other said.
They came near swara and starts circling her.Swara was looking around for someone to help.But as it was late at night,there was very few people and they were far from them.
“Hey baby,let’s go to some proper place…we will have fun!”one man said to her.
The other man grabbed her hand.She struggles to release it but he was strong.She then bites his hand.The man screamed in pain.Swara took the chance and started to run.As sansker’s car was the only car present at that time,she ran to it and started to bang on the glass.Sansker lowered the glasses and raised his eyebrows at her.
Swara:Those people r behind me…pls do something!
Sansker:Yeah..i saw that.
Swara:What!U saw that and sit here idle?Why didn’t u do something? What kind of man u r??
Sansker:As far as i remember,u called me as a man who takes advantage of a lonely girl!Don’t u remember that?
Swara:So u r doing this to take revenge?How cheap man u r!
She looks at the direction of the man.They were close.She became tensed.
Swara:Do something …they r very bad people!
Sansker:First say sorry for ur previous words and then say “please”then i will think about helping u.
Swara looked to the men.They were almost in her touching distance.
Swara:Okey fine!Sorry for that…and please help me!
Sansker:Ye hui na baat!
He came out of the car and stood infront of swara hiding her from the goons.
goon 1:Oye..don’t try to be hero!Leave her to us!
Sansker:I am not ur employee darling!So i will not obey ur ordars.Now go from here before i call the police.
Goon 2:U will not listen like this?
Then they both grabs sansker from both sides.Sansker manages to release from one of them by giving kick.But the other one grabbed his collers and tried to punch him.As sansker tried to release from him,his shirt stripped.Sansker took a look at his shirt,amd looked at the goon.
“That was my favourite shirt moron!”sansker said before punching him directly on his nose.His nose started to bleed and he started to run being afraid.
The other goon who was lying on the floor after getting the kick,grabbed sansker by neck from back.He tried to get him off but he was strong at his neck.Swara was watching this fight all the time.As sansker was being defeated,she searched something to help him.She found a stick on the road and took it.She stood on front of sansker and the goon with that stick on the hand.
“Arre…what r u waiting for??Hit him!”sansker shouted seeing confusion in her eyes.
Swara shouted,”Jai matadi!”and hit the goon on his head with that stick!
The goon fell on the road senseless.Sansker looked at her amusingly.
Sansker:Not bad!U r talented lady mastan!
Swara:Saw that?At last i had to save u!
Then she looked at the goon who was falling on the ground without any movements.She panicked.
“Is he dead?Why isn’t he moving? “she asked
Sansker:No..he is not dead…he just fainted.
“No…i think he is dead..oh my God!I killed him…now police will come arrest me!No…i don’t want to go to jail!”she cried out.
Due to shock her head sstarted to spin and she started to lose her sense.Sansker noticed that and shouted.
“No no..don’t faint on me!”
But too late.She already passed out.Sansker just saved her from falling on her face to the ground.
“What to do with her now?She fainted!And i don’t even know her name rather that address!Where will i drop her?I can’t leave her here too!”sansker thought.
“Only one thing i can do now…let me take her with me.This is the only way left!I will be there alone in the flat.So there will be nobody asking any ques.”he thought again.
So he carried her to the car and drove to his destination.Once he reached there he pulled the break.
***
Here the driver pulled the break as the raglak car reached the maheswari mansion.Laksh came out of the car and opened the door for ragini.He offered her hand to her but she ignored it and came out by herself.She looked at the mansion.It was decorated like a bride.But there was no charm on the faces of the people standing in front of the mansion.
Ap welcomed ragini by doing her aarti.Then she entered the house by kicking the rice pot and leaving her foot marks on the floor.
Parinita took her to her room.It was decorated with flowers and candles as it was supposed to be the first night of the newly married couple.
“This is ur room from now.Laksh will be coming within a while.If u need anything,then ask me.The last room on the left is ours.”pari told.
She took ragini’s hand and squeezed it.
“Everything will be fine!Laksh is a good man….and we r like ur family.Just have patience”she told with a assuring smile.
Ragini just nodded barely.Parinita left the room.Ragini looked at the room.The decoration made her angry and irritated.She started to destroy all the the decoration like insane people.She was screaming and pulling out the flowers decorating the bed.She throw the lighted candles on the floor.
“Sab jhuta…no meaning of all this!No meaning of this marriage “she screamed but words came out like a whisper.
She slowly fell on the floor leaning against the wall.She buried her face on her lap and wrapped her hand around her knees and started crying.
That’s why she didn’t notice when one of the lighted candles she threw on the floor,fell on her suitcase catching fire.She didn’t saw while her suitcase was burning.Fire might catch on the whole room if laksh didn’t come on time and noticed that.
He was shocked to see that scene.Ragini was sitting with face buried on her lap in one corner of the room as the suitcase was on fire here.
“Oh shit!”he murmured before running to the washroom for water.
He came out with the bucket full of water and poured it on the fire.Ragini looked up sensing the movement on the room.She saw laksh pouring water on her burning suitcase to cool it.At last the fire blew off.Laksh let out the breath he was holding till now.He was panting due to the tension and the work.He looked over ragini who was looking at him as nothing was getting on her head.
He ran a hand on his hair and slowly sat beside ragini.
Laksh:It could risk ur life!Thanks God i came in time,or else the whole room would be on fire,and seeing u i feel u wouldn’t even bother to move even if the fire burnt ur body!
He sighed in frustration finding no word from ragini.
Laksh:Ragini,i am talking to u!Say something! Don’t act like a living dead.I understand ur situation but life doesn’t end here!
Ragini looked at him with painful eyes before talking.
Ragini:Yes..my life ended today!Yeah i am a living dead!You can’t understand my situation and u never will!Because u don’t know anything about my life!
Laksh:I know u were not married on ur wish!Neither did i!We both r facing the same situation.We should have some understanding…we may develop our relationship with time!
Ragini:Did u love my sister?
Laksh looked at her eyes at that ques and quickly looked away.
Laksh:I don’t know!She didn’t give me the chance to realise that.
Ragini:Then u can never understand my situation.And me and u r not in same condition in this marriage.
Laksh couldn’t understand the meaning of her words.Ragini got up from there and went to the bed.She lied down in that bridal dress facing back to laksh.
Laksh also got up.He headed to the door but stopped there.
“If u need anything or face any problem here then call me.I am in the room adjacent to urs.And pls don’t do something which may hurt u!
Ragini didn’t reply or didn’t show any movement so laksh couldn’t understand if she has heard him or not!He sighed and went to his room.

@mumbai
Sansker came out of the car and carried swara to his apartment.He made her lay down on the bed of one room.
“Now she is safe here.When she will get sense in the morning i will ask about her address.”he thought.
He then went to his room and took out his phone to call ragini.He called her number twice but she didn’t answer.He looked at the time,it was 12:45 at night.
“May be she is sleeping.She must be very exhausted.After all it was her sister’s wedding!I will call her tomorrow.”he thought.
He messaged her,”I have reached mumbai safely.Call me when you wake up”
He looked at her picture which she sent him tonight before going to sleep.
Next morning
Swara woke up and was surprised to see herself in an unknown room.What was she doing there?Who brought her here?What did they do to her?Wait!Did they kidnap her?
“Aaaahhhh”she started to scream on her full voice.
Sansker came running to her room listening her ear piercing voice.
“Kya hua?”he asked being shocked.
Swara:You!!!That means my doubt was right!You kidnapped me!!Why??I said u na…i am orfan like cinderala…uncle aunty will not give u a penny for kidnapping me…mujhe jaane do pls..
Sansker:Chuupp!!
He shouted on her.Swara stopped her blabbering.
Sansker:If u stop then only i can tell u what happened! Kabse bole jaa rahe ho!Like u were never going to stop!Listen i didn’t kidnap u!
Swara:Now i understand…u took me here to take advantage of me!Wait!!
She looked around and found a vase.She took it and pointed it to sansker.
Swara:Don’t dare to come near me otherwise i will smash ur head!
Sansker:Arre bapre!You r really lady mastaan!Where wwas ll this courage when u fainted? Listen i have no intention to take advantage of u because i am one girl’s man…and i have my one girl.
Swara:I fainted?
Sansker:Yes..seeing that goon senseless…u also fainted due to fear of police.I didn’t even know ur name or address…so i took u here.
Swara:Ohh
Sansker:Now if u r done with ur dtama then give me ur address…i will drop u there.
Swara:I have no address!
Sansker looks at her with confusion.Swara just looks on.
