“Rago ka…”I spelled but How did I addressed her as my sister that too when I am meeting her for the first time. But this touch why I felt that was very much close to my heart. I looked at Sanskar.
“Ragini ji is also your elder sister, Swara.”Sanskar said. That means, My dream … is it really my dream or my past? If she is my elder sister, then why didn’t she meet me in these years? What happened in my past?
“Swara…”That another voice … that sounds very familiar to me. I looked at the direction, It’s laksh , Sanskar’s brother. But, How could it be familiar to me? I feel that he is close to me. But How?
“It’s not the time for tears,Swara…”He said while wiping my tears and she hugged me sidely. I couldn’t understand my own feelings but the only thing I know There is a lot to know about myself.
“Still we are meeting after a long time, I have something for you. do you want this?” Laksh asked me by showing a carrot. Before I realize , I snatched that carrot.
“How do you know I love carrot? Even Sanskar always teases me that I should born as rabbit” I said and surprised on myself. How could I feel this much free while being with them?
“Oh my little brain! Let me eat this carrot first… then we will ask Sanskar”I said to myself.
***
I could see a lot of questions in her eyes. But , still she didn’t change a bit… the same childishness…
“I am sorry Swara” I apologized to my Swara virtually for staying away for these many years.
“Rago maa…”I heard Aadi’s voice and turned to the direction. I was very scared about his life when he started to addict on drugs. But now, everything will become fine. Even, he got what he longed…
“Aadi… Uttu…”I walked towards them while Uttara walked a bit backward. It really hurt me but I know I deserve it. I put a smile while Sathya came forward to me.
“Sathya… Sahil… she is your Dadi maa… He is your dadu… Aman bade papa… Nishu Bademaa..”Laksh started to introduce our family to our sons.
“Won’t you miss someone,laksh?”Amrit bhai entered with meenu bhabhi and his son.
The environment is filled with happiness, I wished this happiness will stay forever and I miss my …. Sahil
***
I walked towards the garden as I couldn’t see my rago hurt. I know my action should hurt her but I couldn’t help myself for not remembering my lucky’s struggles.
“Uttu…”It’s her voice only.
“Please leave from here,Rago. Otherwise , I would have hurt you.”I said being scared about my words.
“I know about my friend, uttu…”She replied.
“I am not only your friend, Rago… I am lucky’s sister also…”I retorted and started to leave before I would lose my words.
“he is also my life, Uttu…”Ragini said by helding my hand.
“then, why did you left your life to choose the hand of death? Why did you let him to go through a struggle between life and death?” Words left my mouth before I realize.
She left my hands in shock.
“Uttu…”Her words stacked .
“I have seen your painful state, rago. Even as a friend, though my heart tells me to support you, as a sister, I couldn’t Rago. Not only you, even my lucky thought that he lost his baby. He was in a thought that we trio died. Already he went through a lot of pain .When Sahil died, he even not in the state to recognize anything. He just needed you for his moral support. If sahil is your brother, couldn’t he a best friend… a brother.. a son alike to Lucky? More than me, you know their bond. Then, why did you leave my Lucky? Why did you leave him alone in that misery where you both have to support each other? You don’t know rago…”I struggled in my worst memories.
“I know Uttu… I know the pain which you gone through… when Amrit bhai told me about what laksh went through in these five years. The state of helplessness… I felt the same when I lost my sahil in the hand of death… even when I scared to lose Aadi in the hands of drugs… But I wouldn’t able to think anyother way at that time,Uttu… because I am selfish and blind in my love…”Her words gave me visualize some dimensions which I never thought of.
“I am not that much strong as what you think,Uttu… Though my pain hardened me… I was the same naive girl inside… I had the illusions and fear to lose my beloved ones… I witnessed my Sahil’s final struggle for his life… And I was there… his rago ka who had money , power but still I stood helpless not able to give his life back… just to witness his last breath…”She closed her eyes in pain and I know, I rekindled our worst memories which I never shouldn’t do.
“At that time, I thought Durga uncle was the culprit and Swara married to Sanskar. I didn’t want to lose Swara or Laksh in my revenge… I already messed up yours and Aadi’s life at that time. And the lie which I believed as truth, I couldn’t leave my hatred. I was scared Uttu that my hatred would let…”I held her by her shoulders while she swallowed her words.
I can’t see her pain . But, I don’t know how can I take her out of this.
“Being selfish in my love, I have chosen their existence over our pain. The moment he accepted to leave my hand , I clearly understand his level of pain. I wanted to embrace him to console him and myself… But, I didn’t Uttu… And the outcome… for whom I left from their life, one chose death to end her life while he put himself in the struggle between life and death while trying to save me from the pain about the truth. And still I regret my decision,Uttu. ”I hugged her by not able to see her pain.
“Leave the painful memories,Rago… We can’t change the past. As your friend… I want you to lead a happy life with my lucky. ”I said. She let a smile out.
“Sometimes, we can’t leave some memories Uttu. But I learned how to be happy along with those memories.And My lucky is here to keep our life filled with happiness…”She said in the confidence on her love.
***
“Uttu… maa is calling you”Sanskar entered suddenly in garden . I don’t know when did he come here.
Uttara left the garden while looking at me. I felt a bit relaxed after speaking with her though still we need to talk a lot. Her stand was correct and I know My decision was the worst decision which I have far made in my life.
“Don’t take her words wrongly,Ragini ji. Lucky is the most important person to her life…”Sanskar struggled with his words. That means he didn’t know about our conversation.
“ It’s just an anger ,Sanskar ji. The same anger even which you have on me for leaving Laksh at that time. But, Now it’s just an disappointment for her.”I said while he gave a surprised expression.
“we can’t change the past, Ragini ji. Yes, even I and Aman were anger on you. But Uttara’s justification made us think different. If I say my anger might vanished, it’s merely a lie.yet, It’s not the same now . I am happy for the present.”He said.
I just gave my smile as answer and started to leave.
“Ragini ji, I want to say something important. It’s about Laksh…”He said while looking around.
“Haan Sanskar ji”I said and signed him to say further.
***
I told her everything about Laksh’s guilt. I and Uttu can make him understand about our part. But,About Sahil, either Swara or ragini can deal with it. And, she have all the rights to know about Laksh.
“Ragini ji…”I spelled as she was lost in her world.
She wiped her tears. I felt guilty for always giving painful news .
“Don’t worry ,Sanskar ji. I know what I have to do now.He will not remain in that .”She said in a deep voice.
“And root is also need to be removed, Ragini ji. I mean about Suji’s maa murder. For that, you have to confront Dadi…”I said.
“is she still alive?”Her words … The hatred and anger in her words… It really scared me.
“Yes, she is still alive…”I said.
“Though she was behind our misery, she lived her as a caring women for more than 20 years. Though we know it’s fake, Papa and maa couldn’t see her struggle at this age. They helped her to come out of jail and still, they cares for her.”I said.
“Once we clear Laksh’s guilt about Sahil, you and Laksh have to meet her also.”I continued by observing her silence.
“I will,Sanskar ji…”She said and started to leave.
“One minute Ragini ji!”I said and tied a thread in her hand which maa tied me in the hope of my safety.
“This is the thread which maa gave me when I had to leave this house. She said that it will help me to stay strong. Now, you need this more than me.”I said .
“And you also like a sister to me,ragini ji. I always will be there to support you both as a brother.” I meant my words. I always felt that Kavya is like a sister to me now Ragini.
“Brother never addresses his sister with ‘ji’”She said with a smile of acceptance.
I replicated the smile.
***
I entered his room while Aman and Amrit bhai were treating him like a baby. I am happy atleast they left their cold war for now.
“Seems like, someone forget about me…” I said dramatically .
“uttu…”My Lucky whispered.
An awkward silence suddenly occupied the room. Aman and Amrit bhai left the room.
“I am sorry, Uttu.”Lucky muttered.
“For what?” I asked casually by sitting beside him.
“For not being a good brother to you.For gifting you the pain…”he said. I don’t know from where he get such a useless thought.
“when did you became not a good brother?” I asked in a playful tone.
“To accept you as my sister, I needed to see you nearby …”He stopped while I observed his body was shaking in that memory. That’s the phrase which I used in Ooty when I was exhausted in my struggle. I never imagined it’s effect will be this much in my lucky.
“Lucky… You are the best brother who puts my happiness first each and every time… yes, Those days, I struggled to get you back… you would have easily told me whatever you thought as truth… but you didn’t… you didn’t want to break our family as you put my happiness first… even after , we reunited you never shown any difference… At that time, I was a daughter of a person whom you thought as convict…”I said while lines shown in Laksh’s forehead. I observed I picked a wrong line.
“Leave all this… get this in your dumb mind… No one don’t have rights to point our relationship even you. Moreover, Uttu and…”I eagerly looked at his eyes.
“Lucky are meant to be together…”He completed with a smile.
“I want a promise,Lucky.”I asked.
“I promise Uttu , I will keep my Sahi always happy.”He said before I ask.
I just let a smile out and held his hand. I wish to speak a lot but my tongue betrayed me. I only know that I get my Lucky and rago both .
“Finally, you made me a cry baby like you.”I said while wiping my tears.
“My papa is not a cry baby.”The voice made both of us turn. He is there , just infront of me like a fighter cock as his father.
I laughed at his pose while he just pouted then sat on my lucky’s lap.
“Papa, tell her that you are not a cry baby”he said while my hands raised to caress his face. he is so near to me.
I don’t know when I made him sit on my lap.
“She is your Uttara maa… my sister.”Laksh introduced me while he turned his face to look at me.
“Uttu maa..”He asked while I just nodded. He kissed my cheeks then He slowly transferred himself to Laksh’s lap and made lucky busy with him. I take my hands back which are raised to hold him.
I know I can’t stop him. Though a thought to keep him with me urges in my heart, I know I can’t do that. I , myself , gave him to my lucky at that time and I don’t regret that decision. He will held my lucky’s hand forever as his son. I know it’s injustice to my Aadi. we will be in pain and atone for my action lifelong as How we were in pain by seeing our son for the first time as son of ragini and Laksh. But, My Lucky will be happy even my son will be happy and I won’t let any disturbance in their life which they restarted after a long struggle and pain.
I slowly came outside and saw Aadi who was busy in playing with Sathya.
“They both forget the surrounding once they started to play…”Rago said.
Yes… it’s true. Sathya is his medicine for all his pain. The pain which I gave to him… which dadi gave to him…
“Sathya is his healer… “I said unconsciously and then hid all my emotions. She might be come just now.
***
I entered my room . I know Swara would have a lot of questions about Ragini and her family. But…
“Suji, let’s see tom and jerry. Today, everyone busy with your Laksh chachu. Even your Sanskar chachu don’t have any time. I won’t speak with him today” She said to Suji who was playing Ammu bhai’s son Shyam aka babu while switching on the TV.
“Previously, you said the same. But you spoke with Sanskar chachu at that day itself”Suji said.
“But this time…”She started while I interrupted.
“Swara…”I interrupted before she gave any word.
She turned her face.
“Always make me weak just by his eyes…Swara! don’t see his eyes.”She said to herself while I just chuckled.
“Suji! Have you broken anything?”I lied to Suji while she widened her eyes in shock.
“No…”She nodded her head .
“then, why did your maa searching you?”I acted like thinking while she was petrified by my act.
“Chachu ! But I didn’t do anything…”Suji said innocently.
“Ok Do one thing. you and Shyam go to Laksh chachu’s room and hide there…”I said with a serious expression.
“But I don’t about laksh chachu…”She said.
“he is very good. Only he can save you now.. Go…”I said and ensured both reached Laksh’s room then I returned to my room after locking my room from inside.
“why did you suddenly lied to Suji?”Swara asked me by crossing her hand.
“To romance with my cute Pondati(wife)!”I said while embracing her in my hug. She lightly kicked my abdomen.
“Kalla! “She murmured.
“yes.. your kalla”I answered.
“hmm! Sanskar, I never asked about my past. now I want to know about my past. But it doesn’t meant that I don’t trust you. There are a lot of questions which breaks my mind.”I saw tears in her eyes for the first time in our marriage life.
“Swara…”I tried to pacify her but she is even not ready to hear my words. She was mentally absent.
“I will tell you about Ragini and laksh and their relationship with you. Don’t stress yourself”I held her by her shoulder and made her sit on bed.
“Is it the dream about the family-is it really a dream or true? And Who is Sahil? Why did I think suddenly about missing him instead of you? what is the relationship I had with him? is he my brother? if I have a sister , what about my parents?”She asked continuously. I can’t see her state. I scared… I am always scared about this moment.
“Swara… relax., I will tell you. But your sadness is not good for our baby.”I pointed our baby’s health which made her a bit conscious.
“ Whatever I know far, you had a wonderful parents,Swara and Ragini, a wonderful sister and Sahil, a best brother to you. Before seven years, Laksh left our house in a misunderstanding. He end up with meeting your family which even established into a relationship. Your parents made Ragini and Laksh married as they both love eachother.”I said.
“But why in such a young age?even Laksh wouldn’t be matured at that time. And, Rago ka, she must be in her college.”Swara said. Her change in emotions and curiosity make me to feel a chill in my spine.
“I don’t know the reason,Swara. Soon, After their marriage, your parents died in a accident. And, Laksh and Ragini took care of you and Sahil. Uttara went there to convince Laksh. After year of struggle,Laksh convinced to return . But , Our fate was not that much good,Swara. They end up with an accident in which we thought that uttara and Ragini were died. Laksh lost his memory. And we didn’t anything about you and Sahil at that time. When we searched about you both, you already left the place which you lived. After two years, you joined in our company. Though Laksh couldn’t recognize you , you both end up as friends which I envied most and happy about a lot.we love each other and end up as a couple. But in a accident, we lost Sahil and Laksh’s condition worsened as he hallucinated that he was responsible for that accident, you lost your memory. Then, we got back Ragini and Uttara. Ragini left with Laksh to cure him but there is a not single day left in her life without thinking about you.”I lied half while she started to sob badly.
Her sobs increased as cry while I hugged her. She is broken… yes,she is broken even if she don’t remember her memories… I let her cry which she didn’t do on the day of Sahil’s death… to mourn for her deceased family members… to mourn for her losses… to … to reduce her pain…
She fall asleep while crying and I made her lay on bed comfortably. Sun already set while darkness spread in the sky .
“I wish you shouldn’t remember your memories atleast in this situation,Swara.”I muttered.
***
There was a little girl who slowly peeping in our room with a small boy in her hand and hid nearby the cup board. I walked towards her .
“Shhh!”She signed.
“why are you hiding here?”I whispered.
“My maa is searching us…”She whispered.
“who is your maa?”I whispered again while she facepalmed herself.
“Don’t you know my maa? Nishu hei meri maa…”She announced in a low voice. Is she Nishu bhabhi’s daughter? but she is not less than cracker like my Sahil.
I gave a smile to her while Laksh and Sahil stood beside me.
“Babu..!”Laksh whispered and took the boy in his hands… I have seen this boy before… Haan! He is Amrit bhai’s son.
“Maa… who is she?”Sahil asked.
“She is your didi! And her name is…”I stammered.
“Suji…”She said while giving her cute smile.
His eyes widened in surprise as hers. The smile in her face which told me that she is happy to get a new brother while Babu looked all of us questioningly.
“So, Now tell me why did you hide for your maa?”I asked.
“Sanskar chachu told me that I broke something. For that, my maa is searching me.”She said.
“But I didn’t break anything today” She pouted and I smiled at her expression.
“Ok, Let’s do onething. You didn’t break anything today. Pakka naa?”I asked while she nodded.
“we shouldn’t fear for the wrong which we never did.Let’s go to maa…”I said while she nodded no .
“you don’t know about my maa. She is a tiger .Even Papa becomes cat infront of her.”She said while I chuckled at her visualization.
“if your maa is tiger, my maa is a lioness…”Sahil said.
“So both of your maa are not humans…”A new voice interrupted .
“meenu bhabhi…”I muttered her name while seeing her smiling face.
“Badimaa…”Sahil and Suji pouted at the same time which made us chuckle .
“Mum..ma…”Babu climbed down from Laksh and then ran towards Meenu bhabhi.
“Bhabhi… let’s meet Nishu bhabhi to finalize Suji’s case…”I winked at her and took Suji in my hand while she nodded no.
In Kitchen,
Annu maa, Nishu bhabhi and then Uttara were preparing dinner.
“Rago beta, I already told you that you shouldn’t work in kitchen today. “Annu maa said as my first rasoi will be tomorrow.
“haan Annu maa… but we took a case for which Nishu bhabhi has to judge… hei naa Suji..”I said while Suji nodded positively after a bit hesitation.
“which case?”Nishu bhabhi asked me while switching off the mixie.
“Suji didi didn’t break anything But Sanskar badepapa told her that she broke something .”Sahil announced.
“And She was scared for that.”I said while Suji hid behind me.
“This Sanskar…”Nishu bhabhi smiled at her thought .
Nishu bhabhi just smiled and walked towards Suji.
“Maa, I will come soon…”Nishu bhabhi said and left with Suji.
“Annu maa… let me help you …”I pleased but she just smiled and nodded in disagreement.
“Wait until tomorrow! Now, we are here…”Meenu bhabhi and Uttara said and started to work along with Annu maa after sending me out.
I just smiled. I am not feeling new here… I am feeling some connectivity with everyone here… But, I don’t know why…
Sathya and Aadi were busy now even I don’t have any place once they both joined. Well, let’s go to the terrace.

Author’s POV
“For How many days,Are you going to keep this cold behavior towards me Aman?” Amrit asked him finally after gathering his courage. It’s a lie if he say that he don’t know about Aman’s questions… or Aman’s feelings… He knew. He was scared to confront or confess.
“So, Finally you are here after broking your silence for long…. 5 years.Don’t you know, Ammu?”Aman asked with a glare. Amrit just stared at the darkness in far as he couldn’t meet Aman’s eyes.
“How this sky is fully covered by Dark , even Our relationship was started in the dark pages of our life Ammu… The days when we spent our days as beggars”Aman reminded about their horrible past.
“But it’s not going to end with this darkness…”Amrit replied in a sudden yet strong voice.
Aman let a sarcastic smile out.
“I wonder who certified you as psychiatrist… or were you buy the degree with money?”Aman asked sarcastically.
Amrit looked at him surprisingly about Aman’s sarcastic tone.
“ you might not seen the depth of darkness… But you know, I have seen the depth of darkness… I have started my life there only… I had grown up in a environment where crimes were casual… Even, I killed that person whom snatched innocent kids life for their happy life when we were escaping… “Aman stopped as Amrit interrupted.
“Reopening the past dark pages will give us immense pain… “Amrit said while his eyes pleaded to stop .
“Those dark pages helds the truth … The truth that My hand are not new for dirt… But , yours… you were new to the darkness… if you couldn’t handle the intensity of darkness , why didn’t you let me step in? why did you stop me ?“Aman asked furiously as the suppressed anger of five years went out.
“Because I can’t let you lose in that darkness again… Still,I regret for the things which I made you to do.”Amrit retorted then regretted in the same tone.
“but, you decided to lose yourself… isn’t it?”Aman asked while Amrit kept silent.
“I thought everything will be ok when I got back to my family… when I married my Nishu again… But, you decided to gift me your life… (remained silent for a second) It’s not only because of the relationship you have with Dadi by your birth… even you never taken her as your dadi… it’s a lie that everyone believed by your words… But, There were a lot of ways to expose her, why did you choose this , Ammu?”Aman asked.
“Trust and Selfishness …”Amrit spelled while deprived in thoughts which made knots in Aman’s forehead.
“Those dark pages also helds the element of trust… The ray of hope and happiness which you gave me even in that darkness….The trust I have on you that you would save me from those leeches… And, you did that by everytime even it’s risked your life… We again met in the darkness while you were desperately searching a path of light to came out of that darkness… you trusted me blindly … you even kidnapped Sanskar for my words… Though you know I am hiding the things, you never asked me… you trusted me but I … Though I know that she was the culprit, I couldn’t expose her… I didn’t know which stopped me … But , I did that… I hid that truth… I thought that would be the best punishment for me to betray you. and Later I realized I hid the truth just for my selfishness… Though I didn’t acknowledge her, The world would acknowledge me as her grandson… “Amrit stopped.
“It’s not selfishness, it’s cowardness Ammu”Aman spelled.
“You didn’t care about world. you worried that I would acknowledge you as her grandson… you worried about our family which would do the same … In simple, you lost the trust on us… And the cowardness raised in your heart because of that”Aman expressed his pain while Amrit kept silence again as that was a hard hitting truth.
“Our friendship is based on mutual trust, Ammu. And, It can’t long as same as before without it’s base. Yes, our relationship can’t end . But, That coldness is your punishment for losing the trust… for broking our friendship… “Aman said then started to leave but stopped by seeing Ragini infront of them.
Ragini cleared her throat.
“I accidentally heard your convo and I know I can’t justify based on your convo. But , I know one thing jethji, you will regret this decision forever in your life whenever you lookback in future.”Ragini said in a calm voice yet in a determinate tone.
“Getting a friend who are more than a sibling… Everyone won’t get that boon, Jeth ji. And about Ammu bhai’s decision, it’s completely wrong but not that cowardness which you meant. Because here , you are not the sole victim. It’s our family… Laksh lost his real parents while everyone thought Uttu was dead and my Laksh’s life turned like a pendulum between life and death. That pain is stronger … much stronger than any other feeling. Because that pain affects your beloved one. And, there is a probability for that fear to become true.”Ragini gave a moment of silence then continued.
“ That decision which you have taken, it’s not only a punishment for Ammu bhai even it’s for you . One day, when you realize my point, when you think that reasons were void infront of your friendship, you may regret but you might not get a chance to get what you lost. Because, we never know what will happen by next day. And Still, I can see your concern for Ammu bhai in your eyes. Leave the past jeth ji. Otherwise,both of your present will occupy by Darkness which even don’t let you enjoy the life’s small happiness. And forgive me for interrupting and if I said anything wrong.”Ragini said and climbed down but stopped by seeing Uttara.
Uttara signed her to come Garden both sat on the garden bench.
“They both are so lucky to get each other…”Ragini said by reminding Aman and Amrit’s convo.
“Yes, their friendship…”Uttara smiled.
“I read an story about a princess Uttara… I felt that was so real… Her story was similar to them… A warrior princess and a prince who treated her as his sister…”Ragini started to share about her past life which she thought as her illusion and lied as story as she didn’t want Uttara to worry..
After few minutes,
Ragini was telling about the suicide part then stopped by hearing Uttara’s sob.
“Uttu…”Ragini worried by seeing tears in Uttara’s eyes.
“Nothing Rago. That was so emotional… But, Are you getting these illusions frequently and recently?” Uttara asked being worried.
“No… It’s just on that day…”Ragini’s face covered with sadness as she lost her sahil on next day.
“what do you think about the prince?” a voice asked from behind.
“kavya…”Uttara surprised to see kavya there while Ragini gave a friendly smile.
“Prince had an unconditional love for the princess as his sister and for his wife. He knows about her anger… he knows princess love for her siblings… he knows she won’t forgive people for killing her parents and for trying to kill her siblings even those people were his father and grandmother… she won’t be calm until she kills them… until she ensures her siblings safety even if it’s ask her life… His wife’s decisions would be same as her sister… he was scared to lose his love and the princess both as the opponent side were very strong… he knows once the princess knows the truth, she would declare a war… but she was not enough in ready state to declare a war as some corrupted people there inside of her palace… he kept princess thinking and pride first …he decided to hide the things and play… And in Last, he had lost his loved ones miserably and even in that state, he tried to ensure Princess’s life. In that also, he lost… A sacrifice went wrong which shouldn’t be… The minute princess mistrusted prince and her love… the death of everlasted hope and trust which she had on her love and prince created a havoc in Princess’s heart… The pain of seeing her sister nearly dead bed which she remembered …which boosted the unbearable pain emerged in her heart converted into uncontrollable fire of anger in which she lost her life as she couldn’t let prince or her lover to be prey for her anger … “A long tears escaped from her eyes while her mind remembered the sacred thread which was given by Sanskar.
“The unconditional love between them , it lasted forever even when she died… she remembered prince’s concern… she heard her love’s words that he did everything for her … The trust and hope got alive in her heart when fire started to occupy her body… she cursed the god why she deserved such an end… for what karma… Then, her mind pointed the injustice which she did to her own brother… the identity she snatched from him in last … the rights she forced him to sacrifice because of her love for her cousin brother… her heart urged to apologize… but she couldn’t … she observed that her Aadi was laying next to her with Uttara…she slowly closed her eyes by remorsing…”Ragini muttered Rajkumari Ragini’s last minute thoughts.
A long silence occupied the space.
“Rago maa…/Mumma” Aadi and Sathya called Ragini while Sathya climbed up on bench and then wiped Ragini’s tears.
“maa, why are you crying?”Sathya asked while looking at others.
“Nothing Sathya, Just a dust went inside my eyes…”Ragini said while giving a smile.
Uttara and Kavya came out of their thoughts.
“Never ever read such stories…”Uttara said then walked towards Aadi by wiping her tears.
Aadi looked at them questioningly then surprised to see Kavya there.
“Kavya…!”Aadi muttered while Kavya hugged him tightly as it’s not an illusion or story to her as she needed a shoulder to compose herself.
“Rago told us a horrible story. That’s why we all are got emotional . but, I felt that one very real”Uttara said.
“Maa… Dadi maa is calling you for dinner…”Sathya conveyed the message in between.
“I came to terrace for calling you to have dinner”Uttara facepalmed herself.
“Sathya , Go with Aadi and Uttu. Maa will come in five minutes after speaking with Kavya maasi.”Ragini said while Aadi and Uttara left confusedly along with Sathya.
“I don’t know how to thank you Kavya… But”Ragini folded her palms before while Kavya made it down.
“I did it because of my selfishness, Rago di… I wanted to take care of little sahil. So, I acted first then lived under the same roof with Laksh.”Kavya said while Ragini looked at her confusedly.
“Because little Sahil is my Aadi bhai’s son…”Kavya said and left the garden by leaving the frozen Ragini at garden.
A thunder in far took her to reality. She slowly walked inside the house.
“Sathya and Aadi went for handwash. They will come in two minutes…”Nishu said while Ragini just nodded and sat beside Laksh who were arranging food in Sahil’s plate.
Sanskar and Swara came down while Suji blocked his way.
“chachu…”Suji blinked her eyes innocently and signed him to down.
Sanskar kneeled beside Suji while Swara noticed a spark in Suji’s eyes.
“It’s not good. She is behaving extra sweetly with Sanskar.something is fishy…”Swara thought while Sanskar scream get her into reality.
Sanskar acted as paining as Suji tapped him very hard with her little fingers. Everyone laughed except Ragini who was watching Laksh and Sahil.
“It’s punishment for lying…”Suji turned and went towards her seat.
Sanskar let a smile out while Swara also smiled along with him. Both walked towards their respective seat.
Aadi came and sat beside Uttara while Sathya looked a seat for him. A seat was vacant and he occupied the central seat which was vacant after the Dadi’s truth exposed.
Everyone gasped a little while Dp , RagLak,Swasan and Ap were remained unaffected.
“Sathya, I made peas paratha for you. do you like it?”Annu asked while Dp signed everyone to eat.
Ap started to feed Sathya and Suji as she was in middle to both while Laksh fed Sahil.
“Sahil, won’t you eat today from your maa hands?.”Ragini said and then Laksh passed the plate to ragini.
Both their eyes were met for a moment and then broke again.
After the lunch, Amrit and Aadi got ready to leave to their house.
Ragini looked at Sahil who were busy in playing with Kavya.
“Aadi, Take Sahil with you. He is so happy for meeting Kavya. Even kavya want to spent time him.”Ragini said and gave Sahil’s hands to Aadi while Laksh held her by her shoulder.
Aadi and Uttara were looked at her questioningly then nodded by seeing Kavya.
Soon, they left then Ragini walked towards her room.
Laksh locked the room once she entered.
“Sahi!”Laksh spelled slowly while Ragini turned and struggled to tell the truth.
“I over heard your convo with Kavya when I came to call for dinner. And, She told me about this on this morning itself.”Laksh said while Ragini looked at him shockingly.
Laksh wiped the tears which rolled on her cheeks while she wiped the tear which formed in his eye corner .
Laksh embraced her in his hug.
“Maa… Papa…”Sathya spelled questioningly while his eyes searched Sahil whether he was standing behind his parents.
RagLak broke their hug then Ragini took Sathya in her hands.
The trio lay on bed while laksh and Ragini made Sathya in the center. Sathya started to sleep by holding their hands while tears were escaped from their closed eyes silently. Then, slowly lost themselves to sleep.
In Singhania’s house,
Uttara and Aadi left with Sahil to their room while Kavya locked her room. She ran towards the balcony and kneeled by seeing the room.
“She slowly closed her eyes by remorsing…”The words ringed in her ears while she broke down in tears.
“I am Sorry, rago di… I am sorry… I was blind in my love ” She muttered and lay on the cold floor of balcony. The coldness in the air… in the floor didn’t affect her as she even lost her self-consciousness in a deep regret… as even her tears couldn’t give her a temporary relief for her pains… her nerves tried to find a way to sort everything … to relieve them from their pains…
Precap:Last Episode (Part 1): Jab Ragini met Dadi…
A/N
Well! Finally, I am going to end. I don’t know how many… How much you liked this story. I don’t know whether the last episode will be a single part or double part. I think other than Amrit’s birth and Dadi, I have revealed most of the things even about Kavya’s curse, you all might have got the idea. If I left anything, please remind me in your comments. Till then, Sara is signing off.Merry Christmas in Advance.
