Hello everyone.
Thank you for all the comments. Please keep commenting about the story and the best dialogue.
I know that all of you have a lot of doubts regarding Shivansh and Ridaan. All of them will be clarified as the story progresses.
Now with the next chapter.
…………………………………………………
Shivansh and Ragini came out of the temple with Ridaan in Ragini’s arms.
Shivansh: Ragini both of us will go to meet the clients. Chalo.
Ragini: Yeah Shivansh. Let’s go.
Shivansh: And what about Ridaan?
Ragini: He is coming with us. And that’s it. No more discussions.
Shivansh: Par..
Suddenly Ridaan starts crying.
Ragini starts trying to calm him.
Ragini: Ridaan shhh what happened beta?
She does different things to make him calm.
Shivansh: What happened to him? He is still crying even though he is in your arms.
Ragini: I think he isn’t comfortable with the new surroundings and the climate. I told you that both of us will stay back in Delhi. But you…
Shivansh: Ok meri maa. I am sorry. Aisa karte hain. You and Ridaan go to the hotel and take some rest. I will attend the meetings and come home.
Ragini: Ok this is better.
Shivansh: Chalo I will drop you.
Ragini: That is not required. Me and Ridaan will go by the taxi. You go and attend the meetings.
Shivansh: Ok there is no use of arguing with you. Take care. Bye.
Ragini: All the best.
Saying so Ragini leaves to the hotel with Ridaan and Shivansh goes to meet the clients.
Maheshwari Mansion
Laksh came back to the Maheshwari Mansion from the temple after he received a call from Sanskar telling him to come back home as soon as possible.
Sanky: Lucky good that you came back. Chalo we need to meet our new clients today.
Laksh: Bhai you very well know that I am not interested in all this business meetings and all. Right now my only focus is to…
Sanky: Find Ragini. Right Lucky? I can understand what you are going through Lucky. I know that you are doing all that you can do to find Ragini. And that’s the reason you went to the temple after an year only to pray that she comes back to your life.
Laksh: Bhai please..
Sanky: No Lucky. You are attending today’s meeting and I don’t want any other explanation.
Laksh decided to give up as he knew that there was no use arguing with Sanskar.
After sometime
Maheshwari Industries
Dp,Rp, Sanskar and Laksh were waiting for the new clients. Laksh was least interested in all this. He was continuously checking his watch as he had to meet the private employees whom he assigned the job of finding Ragini.
Suddenly the door opened and Shivansh came inside.
Sanskar: Hello Mr. Singhania. Pleasure to have you here. Welcome to Maheshwari Industries.
Shivansh: Thank you Mr.Maheshwari.
Laksh and Shivansh saw each other.
Shivansh: Aap yahan?
Sanskar: Do both of you know each other?
Shivansh: Yeah we met in the temple in the morning.
He extends his hand forward.
Shivansh: I am Shivansh Singhania.
Laksh shakes hands with him.
Laksh: Laksh, Laksh Maheshwari.
Dp: Come let’s start the meeting.
Through out the meeting Laksh was staring at his watch because he wanted to get out of this meeting and meet the detectives.
On the other side Shivansh was growing worried with every coming minute thinking how Ragini might be managing Ridaan all alone. He ordered his manager to look for a nanny to help Ragini take care of Ridaan till they were in Kolkata.
After the meeting ended,
Shivansh: I must say that the ideas you put forward are quite impressive. But being straight forward I have shortlisted another company also for this partnership. So I would like to meet them and then take my decision.
Dp: We can understand your perspective Mr.Singhania.
Shivansh: Thank you Sir. And I would be happy if you call me Shivansh. You are elder than me.
Dp: Ok beta. Then you better call us Uncle not sir.
Shivansh: Ok uncle.
Just then Shivansh’s phone starts ringing.
Shivansh: Please excuse me.
He goes to a corner of the room.
Shivansh: Hello Ragini.
Ragini: Hello Shivansh. Did you tell any lady named Sudha to come as a nanny for Ridaan?
Shivansh: Yeah Ragini. Did she come?
Ragini: Yeah but what’s the need of a
nanny. I can take care of Ridaan.
Shivansh: She is just going to help you take care of Ridaan. And no if’s and buts I am in the meeting. Call you later. Bye.
He came back to the Maheshwaris.
Sanskar: If you don’t mind, can we know the name of the other clients you are going to approach for this partnership?
Shivansh: Yeah sure. The Bundelas. Owners of Bundela group of Industries.
Dp: Oh we know them very well. Infact we worked with them in a collaboration for a project.
Suddenly a person knocked the door.
Person(to Dp): Sir, Mr Bundela is here to see you.
Dp: Send him in.
A man in his late 50’s came inside the room.
Dp: Welcome Mr.Bundela.
Bundela: Hello Dp ji. (Then he looks at Shivansh) Oh Mr Singhania, hello. Good to see you here. But aap yahan?
Shivansh: Mr Bundela I came to speak about the partnership with the Maheshwaris. I was going to call you to talk and finalize about our meeting.
Dp: Please sit Mr.Bundela. And tell us kaise aana hua?
Bundela: I came here to invite you to the party at my house tonight.
Rp: Sorry Mr Bundela but we are going to Howrah today in the evening. Actually Bhaisa’s friend has suffered from a heart attack.
Bundela: Oh that’s ok Rp. But what about the kids. Laksh and Sanskar why don’t you come over?
Sanskar: Sure uncle. We will be there.
Laksh: Bhai..
Sanskar glared at Laksh telling him not to speak.
Bundela: Mr Shivansh, please join us in the party. We can discuss about the partnership also.
Shivansh: Yeah sure.
Bundela: And please do bring your family with you.
Shivansh: Definitely.
Bundela: Ok then I will message you the address of the venue to you as well as Sanskar.
Shivansh: Thank you.
Mr Bundela left after greeting everyone there.
Sanky: Did you come with your family to Kolkata?
Shivansh: Yeah with my wife and my son.
Sanskar: What? You have a son. I can’t believe it.
Shivansh starts smiling.
Shivansh: He is just three months old.
Sanky: Oh alright.
Shivansh: Let’s meet at the party. Bye uncle. Bye Sanskar. Bye Laksh.
As soon as Shivansh left, Laksh shouted on Sanskar.
Laksh: What was the need to tell them that I will also come. I don’t want to go to any party.
Sanky: Lucky. Enough of it. You are coming to the party. And how many days do you want to keep yourself indulged in your pain. Come out of it. You are coming.
Laksh helplessly nodded.
Night
Outside the party venue
Swasan,Laksh and Uttara have entered the venue when Mr. Bundela came and greeted them.
Laksh was wearing a blue color jacket with a pair of jeans. He wore a white shirt and a black tie.
Sanskar introduced Swara and Uttara to Mr Bundela.
Mr. Bundela: Please come. And here you go. Please wear these masks. It’s going to be a masquerade party.
Swasan and Uttara picked up their masks whereas Laksh stood there uninterested.
Sanky: Lucky go and pick a mask.
Laksh randomly chose a black colored mask.
And they went inside.
After sometime Shivansh, Ragini and Ridaan came to the venue. Sudha, Ridaan’s nanny also came with them.
They received a warm welcome from the Bundelas.
Shivansh introduced Ragini and Ridaan to the Bundelas.
Ragini was wearing a peach color georgette saree with a black colored velvet blouse with floral design on it with gold color.
Ragini picked up a blue color mask with silver work on it and white feathers.
Shivansh picked up a maroon color mask.
Ridaan was peacefully sleeping in Ragini’s arms.They entered the party and some soft music started playing. The lights in the
room were dim.
Swasan were already dancing
Shivansh came to Ragini and forwarded his hand to her.
Shivansh: Can I dance with us Mrs. Singhania?
Ragini: Shivansh, Ridaan…
Shivansh lifted Ridaan slowly from her arms and handed him to Sudha.
He took Ragini’s hand and both of them headed to the dancing area.
Meanwhile
Uttara: Laksh bhai. Chalo na let’s dance.
Laksh: No Uttara.
Uttara: Please Bhai.
Laksh couldn’t say a no to his baby sister anymore and both of them also went to the dancing area.
Swasan, Ragini-Shiv, Laksh-Uttara kept dancing to the slow music and Raglak couldn’t see each other due to the masks and darkness. Only a small spotlight was flashing on the dancing floor.
Suddenly the music changed. And all the men twirled their partners. And in this process everyone’s partners got exchanged.
Ragini twirled and her hands fell on the chest of a man wearing a black mask. That was none other than Laksh.
But both of them didn’t know that the person they were dancing was none other than the person whom they love the most.
Janam janam janam saath chalna yunhi
Kasam tumhe kasam aake milna yahin
Ek jaan hai bhale do badan ho judaa
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida
Meri subah ho tumhi aur tumhi shaam ho
Tum dard ho tum hi aaraam ho
Meri duaaon se aati hai bas ye sadaa
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida
Aha ha ha o…
Meri hoke humesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna alvida
Teri baahon mein hai mere dono jahaan
Tu rahe jidhar meri jannat wahin
Jal rahi agan hai jo ye do tarfa
Na bujhe kabhi meri mannat yahi
Tu meri aarzu, main teri aashiqui
Tu meri shayari, main teri mausiqi
Talab talab talab bas teri hai mujhe
Nason mein tu nasha banke ghulna yunhi
Meri mohabbat ka karna tu haq ye adaa
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna
Kabhi na kehna Alvida…
Ragini and Laksh were completely drowned in each other’s eyes. Both of them were getting the vibes that the other person was very close to their heart but
were unable to understand the feeling.
The song ended and both of them came back to their senses with the sound of the claps.
Ragini immediately left from the dancing floor. She went to see that Ridaan was crying. And Sudha was trying to calm him.
She took Ridaan into her arms. And tried to calm him.
Meanwhile Laksh was searching for Sanskar and he spotted him still in his mask and talking to someone. He went there.
Laksh: Bhai
Person: Hi Laksh.
Laksh understood that the person is Shivansh through his voice.
Laksh: Hi Shivansh.
Just then Swara and Uttara comes there. And Sanskar introduces both of them to Shivansh.
Sanskar: Shivansh you said that you came here with your wife and son. Where are they?
Shivansh: Just give me a minute. I will go and get them.
Meanwhile
Ridaan was crying and Ragini wasn’t trying to figure out what’s wrong with him.
Ragini(in mind): Maybe Ridaan is unable to recognize that I am here because of the mask.
She removed the mask and immediately took Ridaan into her arms. He immediately stopped crying. She kissed his cheek.
Shivansh: Ragini come I will introduce you to our clients.
Ragini: OK let’s go.
Saying so both of them went with Ridaan.
Swasan and Uttara were talking. Laksh was just listening to them. He was still thinking of what all happened on the
dance floor.
Just then Shivansh tapped his shoulder
and said “Hey buddy”.
Four of them turned back only to see the biggest shock of their life. For Laksh it was
like he was able to breathe properly after an year seeing his Ragini.
Shivansh: Ragini these are our clients with
whom we may get a chance of making a partnership.
Ragini gave him a mild smile and
forwarded her hand.
Laksh slowly removed his mask and Ragini got flabbergasted seeing him in front of her. Swasan and Uttara also removed their masks but Laksh and Ragini were lost in each other’s eyes.
They had a long painful eye lock.
Tere sang yaara
Khush rang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitara
O karam khudaya hai
Tujhe mujhse milaya hai
Tujhpe marke hi tho
Mujhe jeena aaya hai
O tere sang yaara
Khush rang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitara
O tere sang yaara
Khush-rang bahara
Main tera ho jaaun
Jo tu karde ishara
Kahin kisi bhi galli mein jaun main
Teri khushboo se takraun main
Har raat jo aata hai mujhe
Wo khwab tu
Tera mera milna dastoor hai
Tere hone se mujhmein noor hai
Main hoon suna sa ek aasma
Mehtaab tu
O karam khudaya hai
Tujhe maine jo paaya hai
Tujhpe mar ke hi toh
Mujhe jeena aaya hai
O tere sang yaara
Khush rang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitara
All their beautiful memories were flashing in front of their eyes.
Their eye lock was broken by Shivansh’s words.
Shivansh: So Ragini this is Laksh
Maheshwari. This is Sanskar Maheshwari,elder brother of Laksh. This is Swara wife of Sanskar and that’s Uttara
sister of Sanskar. And guys meet my wife Ragini Singhania and my son Ridaan.
The last line started resounding in Laksh’s ears. How can his Ragini be someone’s wife? How can she give such a big punishment for one mistake.
Suddenly
Mr Bundela: Shivansh can we discuss about the partnership?
Shivansh: Yeah sure. Ragini main abhi aaya.
Ragini just nodded her head. Her eyes
were filled with tears which were just about to fall down. And Laksh was also in a similar state. He was searching for her
since one year and when he found her she
is told as someone’s wife.
Ragini couldn’t fight with her tears anymore. She went away from there and
gave Ridaan to Sudha and informed her that she will be back in a minute.
She ran into the garden and started crying loudly. The person she always loved was in front of her. She saw him after an year. The sorrow and tears she kept inside herself since the past 1 year came out in the form of tears.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned her head to see Laksh standing there looking at her with so much of love and tears in his eyes.He helped
her to get up.
He moved his hand on her face. As he touched her the tears started falling down her eyes.
Abhi mujh mein kahin
Baaqi thodi si hai zindagi
Jagi dhadkan nayi
Jaana zinda hoon main toh abhi
Kuch aisi lagan iss lamhe mein hai
Ye lamha kahaan tha mera
Ab hai saamne
Issey chhoo loon zaraa
Mar jaaoon ya jee loon zaraa
Khushiyaan choom loon
Yaa ro loo’n zaraa
Mar jaaun ya jee loon zaraa
Ho o.. abhi mujh mein kahin
Baaqi thodi si hai zindagi
Laksh cupped her face and removed her tears with his thumb.
Laksh: This is truth na Ragini. You are not a dream again na.
Ragini couldn’t control her tears. She nodded no and burst out crying.
Laksh hugged her very tight in his arms as she will disappear once he leaves her. He started crying loudly.
