It's been one week since Swara is missing. Ragini and Laksh together filed a complaint in police station. Everyday they go and ask for any update regarding the case. All they get was a negative response. Ragini is feeling restless. While on the other side Swara is getting everything she needs in that room. She also had got television to watch. But she is also wondering about why was she kidnapped and why was she being treated as a queen by giving all the facilities. If she wants to ask all the questions to someone also she has none to answer. She gets food from a smallest door on one of the walls which has a door on both the sides and she can't escape from that place even if she tries. She tried a lot by banging the door but all she got was no response. She had been left with only one option, that is, to wait for someone to come and say the reason for kidnapping her.

Ragini looked at Laksh who came out of police station like every day and shook his head as no.

"Laksh I was thinking to hire a private detective. If someone had kidnapped her they must have even asked for something in return. But we got no call. I don't know why I feel she isn't well. May be something must has happened to her. Atleast private detective would help." Ragini said.

Laksh who was staring her listening to her sighed and looked around to see Sanskar walking on the road alone.

"Bhai!" Laksh screamed and ran behind him but it was too late Sanskar got hit by a car and fell down injuring his head and also falling unconscious.

Ragini who followed Laksh also reached there while Laksh immediately moved towards Sanskar. He saw Sanskar unconscious and glared at the person who was driving. He was about to go fight with the person but Ragini held his hand.

"Now Sanskar is important!" Ragini said and pulled him towards Sanskar.

Laksh immediately took Sanskar into his arms and rushed towards hospital in his car. He was tensed to hell seeing Sanskar in that position.

"He is fine don't worry!" Doctor said as he came out of the ward after treating Sanskar.

"Thank You doctor!" Laksh said.

They then went inside as doctor told them that they can meet Sanskar. Laksh sat beside Sanskar holding his hand while Ragini just sat silently watching Laksh's worry and love for Sanskar. She sighed.

"Lucky!" Sanskar said as he opened his eyes.

Laksh hugged him tight.

"Bhai why did you go on to the road when I told many times not to go alone on to the road?" Laksh asked a bit angrily.

Sanskar smiled a little making RagLak confused.

"Lucky I am fine!" Sanskar said.

Laksh's eyes widened realising that Sanskar has actually got fine. Ragini's reaction was same.

"Bhai you are actually fine!" Laksh stated still in shock.

Sanskar nodded. Laksh immediately hugged him tight. Sanskar smiled closing his eyes as he remembered that he finally planned to get back to normal. He had decided to tell everyone everything once Laksh admits his feeling for Ragini and both of them get back to normal. But for that he has to become a proper cupid and he had to get to normal. So he had decided to get himself into an accident which was actually made by one of his men. Thank fully Ragini has saved his man other wise Laksh would have killed him by now for Sanskar's condition.

"You are fine!" Ragini said making both Laksh and Sanskar look at her.

Laksh broke the hug looking at her.

"You are FINE!" Ragini screamed happily and hugged him tight making Sanskar and Laksh shocked and surprised of her reaction.

Ragini broke the hug.

"You don't know how happy I am Sanskar. Damn! Now you also can help us in finding Swara. I can have lots of fun with you. I will revenge you for all the tortures you had shown me when you aren't well. I am going to torture you triple times." Ragini spoke excited.

Sanskar and Laksh still looked shocked of the way she spoke. Sanskar chuckled finally.

"I will gladly take the revenge." Sanskar said shaking his head.

Laksh shook his head.

"I will get your discharge papers bhai." He said and left.

By the time he returned he saw Ragini and Sanskar laughing and giving hi-fi to each other. Laksh frowned. He suddenly didn't like the friendship between Sanskar and Ragini. She is laughing and teasing Sanskar.

"She never did that with me!" he whispered.

He felt angry. He moved to them and stood beside them but both of them are busy still talking and giggling.

"Ragini Dadi called and asked you to come home as early as possible." He lied to her.

"But..." Ragini tried to argue but Sanskar spoke.

"You go home Ragini. We will meet tomorrow. I should anyway go home and meet everyone. Mom will be very happy seeing me back." Sanskar spoke.

Ragini nodded. She bid bye and left from there as Laksh has to take Sanskar home she went home alone. Laksh felt angry but kept quiet as he didn't understand why was he even angry on their friendship.

****

Everybody are pampering Sanskar while he is in his own thoughts. He is reminiscing the day he had taken Dadi in his plan.

@flashback

It was the day of Ragini's accident. Sanskar was in hospital as he wanted to check on Ragini. Besides that he was so angry on his stupid brother who is just ignoring the fact that he actually likes Ragini and still kept chanting that he loves Swara which is just his stubbornness and attraction towards Swara. He is completely ignoring the actual person who is his real love. He named it as just friendship. Now there he is punishing himself beating with the whip. Sanskar could only feel helpless and also worried for Ragini. So he just came to make sure himself that she is fine. He screamed at nurse due to her carelessness when she has to connect the drip properly but got busy in talking in phone. He forgot his surroundings in the fear of Ragini's life. That's when he saw Dadi standing there shocked. He sighed. He sat there signing Dadi to sit on the chair. Dadi glaring him sat there. He told everything to her and how he got to know that Laksh was innocent. He then told her how he actually noticed that Laksh had feelings for Ragini but not Swara but his ignorance towards his feelings and stubbornness he isn't realising it. How he is thinking to make RagLak one. Dadi immediately said she is with him and will help him in everything to make sure RagLak one. Thanks to God that Ragini wasn't conscious at that time.

"Even if I have to do something to that Bengalan's grand daughter I will do just to make sure that my Laadoo gets her love, Laksh." Dadi said.

Sanskar nodded. They planned to show that Swara is bad in character by drugging her and proving her that she uses drugs. Thus they had been succeeded in proving that she uses drugs and also kidnapped her. They made a video in her intoxicated condition and circulated it just to prove that Swara is bad. Sanskar made sure she would be safe in a place where she can not even try to escape.

@flashback ends.

"Mom I am full stop stuffing into me now." Sanskar said and finally got out of his mother's clutches.

Sujatha getting the chance to see her son back to normal away from acting got more happy and was showering all the love. He saw Laksh in deep thoughts.

"Lucky come with me!" Sanskar dragged Laksh.

"What happened Lucky? Thinking about Swara?" Sanskar asked.

Laksh looked at Sanskar. He just shook his head.

"I am least interested in that bhai!" Laksh spoke forgetting that he shouldn't be saying that atleast not now.

"Means?" Sanskar asked acting confused.

"Ahh! Nothing bhai. I was thinking about hiring the private investigator. Ragini was saying in the morning." He said trying to cover it up.

"Oh!" Sanskar said.

That's when Sanskar's phone rang. Laksh looked at it and frowned.

"This?" Laksh asked.

"Mom gave me." Sanskar said.

"And who has your number?" Laksh asked.

"Ragini!" he said and took the call.

"Sanskar how are you feeling?" Ragini asked as soon as he took the call.

"How did you get his number?" Laksh asked as he snatched the phone from Sanskar.

"Can't you just let me talk to my friend peacefully?" Ragini asked annoyed.

"No!" Laksh said as annoyed as her.

Sanskar is enjoying Laksh's state.

"Lucky give me the phone." Sanskar pulled it back.

"Yes My Duppatta wala dost." Sanskar responded.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Good!" He said.

"Take care. I will meet you tomorrow then!" Ragini said.

"Okay! Anyways how did you get my number?" he asked looking at Laksh's glare.

"Sujatha aunty gave it. I called her to know about you then she told me about your phone." Ragini said.

"Yeah! She told me she got it few days ago as she wants to gift me when I get well. She didn't expect to see me well this soon too. She was screaming in joy." Sanskar said smiling.

"Haha I understand. Anyways Dadi ma is calling bye!" she said and cut the call once Sanskar bid bye.

Sanskar looked at Laksh smiling while he is frowning.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing!" Laksh said and left from there.

Sanskar chuckled seeing the annoyed Laksh.

*****

Laksh is moving to and fro in his room annoyed.

"From the time Sanskar bhai became fine she has been only talking to him. Laughing with him. She doesn't even remember that I exist in her life. All she does is talk, laugh and discuss with him. It was me who was with her from day one of Swara's missing but since yesterday all she does was talk, laugh or discuss with Sanskar about Swara. What does she think of herself? How can she forget me?" Laksh kept murmuring to himself all those things.

"Lucky!" Sanskar entered the room.

Laksh looked at him annoyed.

"What is it bhai?" He asked annoyed.

"Let's go!" Sanskar said.

"Where?" Laksh asked still annoyed.

"To meet Ragini!" Sanskar said.

"What? Now?" Laksh asked shocked.

"Yeah! I need to talk something important!" Sanskar said.

"What is it?" Laksh asked frowning.

"I will tell. Come!" Sanskar pulled Laksh.

All the way to Baadi Sanskar told nothing to Laksh even though Laksh kept asking him.

"Thank God you are here! Let's go!" Ragini said pulling Sanskar towards the car again when they reached outside the baadi where Ragini is waiting for them.

"Would you both say what is happening?" Laksh asked annoyed.

Both Ragini and Sanskar ignored him. Finally Sanskar stopped the car at an ice cream parlour that is open even at that late night.

"Yes!" Ragini said in excitement.

"I thought it will be closed!" Ragini sighed in relief as she ran towards the parlour.

Sanskar chuckled while Laksh looked more annoyed.

"This is the important work?" Laksh asked as they are sitting.

"Yes! Who asked you to come if you don't feel it to be important!" Ragini said annoyed just like him.

Sanskar controlled his laugh as he saw them annoyed. He got Laksh to make him even more annoyed. He could see the Jealous Laksh a lot in just few hours of his recovery. Ragini had been excited to see her best friend fine and she wanted to enjoy atleast for sometime as she knows she would be once again fallen into worry about Swara.

"Ragini doesn't like chocolate flavour!" Laksh said as he saw Sanskar got chocolate flavour for Ragini.

"Is it?" he asked looking at Ragini.

She pouted and nodded.

"Then tell me which one you like. I will replace it." Sanskar said.

Before Ragini could reply Laksh spoke.

"Butterscotch!" Laksh said.

Sanskar looked at Ragini and she nodded. He nodded and left to replace it.

"Atleast he knows her favourite ice cream flavour!" Sanskar spoke to himself smiling.

He also knows that she does not like that flavour but he wanted to test Laksh.

"Ragini aren't you worried for Swara anymore?" Laksh asked.

Ragini glared him.

"I am Laksh. Just because I am having ice cream doesn't mean I am not worried for my sister. All these days I am worried like hell... for once I wanted to celebrate Sanskar's recovery you judge my love for my sister!" Ragini spoke angrily and moved from there taking her ice cream from Sanskar.

"What did you do Lucky?" Sanskar asked.

Laksh looked at him but followed Ragini.

"Ragini I am not doubting your love for your sister. I am sorry if it sounded that way. I was just surprised to see you excited for ice cream at this late night. You never do that right?" Laksh asked.

"Yeah! Sanskar asked permission from dadi and promised her that he will drop me back safe." Ragini said smiling.

Laksh nodded with neutral expression.

****

"Bhai! Stay away from Ragini!" Laksh screamed at Sanskar after few days.

Sanskar looked at Laksh.

"Why Laksh?" Sanskar asked.

Laksh looked on...
