Next day morning,

Ragini is cooking in the kitchen, Laksh is in his room searching for his file while going through everything he finds making a mess out of the room. Not finding his file, comes out of the room anxiously. While coming down the stairs he looks at the elders sitting on the sofa then looks at Raksh who is playing in the hall and the paper boats? around him?..

"Raksh, what are you doing?", Laksh asks furiously still standing on the steps. Ragini comes out of the kitchen hearing his voice.

"Papa, see i made paper boats", says Raksh grinning while holding the beautiful crafted boats in his hands showing them to his dad not knowing that his father is furious.

"Where do you get those papers from?", asks Laksh still in the same tone while descending a step down.

"I...I...", Raksh holds his chin trying to remember "papa, i got it from the room, there were papers on the table", says when he remembers it finally.

"Did you ask anyone's permission?", he asks while stepping down the stairs further.

"Papa, I...", Raksh nods in No feeling guilt.

Before Laksh could descend a step down Ragini comes in between blocking him further showing her hand signing him to stop.

"Raksh, how did you get those papers?", asks Ragini turning towards Raksh.

"Mamma, I found those papers on the table in the room. Then i thought of making paper boats and play with them", replies Raksh still holding the paper boats in his hands.

"You should have asked permission before right? Those might be important papers? ", questions Raksh calmly.

"Sorry mammam i forgot to ask", Raksh utters feeling down.

"It's fine, say sorry to your papa", Ragini says reassuring Raksh.

Raksh nods in return, turning towards his dad, "sorry papa".

"Now pick up all those paper boats and give them to your papa", Ragini says while eyeing at the boats. Raksh nods at her and picks up everything.

"I am sorry papa, I won't do that again. Next time I will ask permission before doing anything", says Raksh while giving the boats in the hands of his dad. Laksh looks at him with open mouth.

Elders looks at Raksh in awe, Ragini feels proud listening to his last statement.

"Jiji, bhaisa(DP), did you see what he said at the last? His mom didn't asked him, but he said it on his own. Ragini brought him up really well", says Sujatha smiling.

"Haan sujatha, i agree with you", Replies Ap with proud smile on her face, which brings smile on Laksh's face as well.

Ragini kneels in front of Raksh feeling proud hugs him with wide smile on her face, kissing his forehead. Ruffles his hair getting up picks him in her arms "I will make you your favourite Maggie today. Let's go", she says happily.

Ragini could feel Laksh's gaze on them, still ignores him completely and heads towards the kitchen. Raksh jumps in excitement in her arms hugs and kisses her cheek. Ragini grins in return seeing her son's happiness.

"Annapurna, we made good decision by bringing her to our house as Laksh's wife and our daughter-in-law", Dp says with smile.

"That i completely agree", Laksh mutters not so loud enough, still elders could hear it and smiles.

"Haan ji, she really brought happiness to our house", Ap replies. Dp and Sujatha nods in return agreeing with her, sits on their places and continues with their chatting.

Laksh leaves to his room, sits on the sofa starts unfolding the papers one by one then looks at the boats sighing, thinks "my son never fails to increase my work load".
********************

In the evening,

RagLak's room, Ragini is sleeping on the sofa in half laying position feeling tired. Laksh, who just came back looks at her, sits on the same sofa, lifts her legs from the floor and makes them rest on his lap. Ragini sits immediately by seeing his actions and tries to take her legs back but Laksh holds them tight not letting free for her to move. She sighs seeing her efforts going in vain and lets him do whatever he wants.

"What was that in the morning?", he questions after seeing her sitting helpless.

"What did I do?", she asks innocently folding her arms, she knows what he is referring to 'the morning incident'.

"You already know what I am referring to", says Laksh glaring at her.

Dropping her antics, "Then what should I have done? You looked as if you will hit him any moment, in the morning", says looking into his eyes.

"Did you think I would hit our son?", he says this time folding his arms.

"How would I know what you are thinking in your mind?", she utters with hand under her chin looking at him innocently.

"I would never hit my son nor I ever will", he says with determination, continues. "Down there I was just acting just to scare Raksh, that's it. You know!", says twisting his lips.

"Whatever it is, as a mother it's my responsibility to stop the father from hitting his son. And here", bending backwards her hand reaches the table grabbing the book and keeping it in his hands, "It will help you learn how to raise a child".

"And as a father it's my responsibility to make my son understand his mistake without hitting", keeping the book, back on the table, "I don't need it anymore as I have already completed reading it. As you suggested I learnt a lot thanks to this book, and this too", he looks at her intensely, his arm around her knees over her saree pulls her closer, she falls on him from the force he pulled, her hand lands on his chest. Her face heats up when his slow deep breath falls on her cheek, she looks back at him with same intensity. Their hearts beating rhythmically.

He moves his face closer still looking into her eyes, pressing his lips on her's, when she doesn't open up he bites her lower lip punishing her for ignoring him in the morning, she parts her lips while moaning in pain, he smirks in return for getting what he wants. Feeling his smirk on her lips she pinches his chest, ignoring the pain which felt like an ant bite which didn't feel like pain at all, he claims her lower lip taking it all in, she responds in return claiming his upper lip. Her hand on his chest clutching his shirt, his hand on her nape, pulling closer. Both are lost in the kiss, exploring each other.

"Mamma", the sound from outside brings her back to her senses, as the sound gets louder and louder, she looks at their positions and pushes him away.

He mouths, "what?" wriggling his eyebrows.

"It's Raksh", she whispers while signaling him towards the door. Her eyes strays back at him then towards his hand. He looks at her then at his hands, he understands her and immediately takes off his arm, she pulls her legs away placing her feet back on the ground, scoots a little while adjusting herself, both calming down themselves.

As soon as Raksh enters, both greets him with smile.

"Mamma", Raksh calls out again, looks at his parents runs towards his mother ignoring his father. Ragini takes him making him sit in her lap, pecking his forehead and stroking his hairs.

"Raksh?", Laksh calls him sweetly.

"Hmm", Raksh replies still not looking at him and playing with Ragini's hands.

"Raksh, are you angry at me?", asks Laksh.

"No", Raksh says not glancing at him.

"Then why are you not looking at me?", Laksh whines.

"Just like that", Raksh replies shrugging his shoulders.

"Hmm, did I scare you in the morning?", asks Laksh. Raksh nods at him assertively.

"Are you angry at me?", he questions.

Raksh nods in No before replying, "how can I be angry at my papa!?", more like questioning back his father.

"Really?", asks while taking Raksh in his arms. "Are you scared of me then?"

"Hmm!", acts like thinking "a little", Raksh says while pointing through his fingers with slight smile on his lips.

"Dramebazz", Laksh smiles nodding his head and starts tickling him, Raksh laughing hard.

After a while, Raksh is still in his lap, sitting silently playing with his father's hands.

"I am sorry", Laksh says breaking the silence. "I shouldn't have gotten angry on you. And I promise I will never do that again".

"I am cholly too papa. I should have asked permission", says Raksh feeling down.

"Aww, when did my baccha grow up so big, saying sorry and all?", asks Laksh to make the situation feel light.

"Papa, I am already cho cho cho big, see", says Raksh while raising his hands above his head.

"Yeah right, It's me who missed to notice it", Laksh says cuddling Raksh in his arms and nuzzling his neck, Raksh laughs feeling ticklish.

Raksh looks at his mom beside him, calls her to move closer with his small hands cutely, "thank you mamma for teaching me", says while placing a kiss on her cheek while grinning.

"Yeah, thank you for teaching him", says Laksh and leans in to kiss her as well but gets stopped in the mid way when she places her hand on his mouth preventing it.

"Laksh, what are you doing? Raksh is watching", Ragini whispers still her hand on his mouth.

"Nothing wrong in kissing my wife!", he utters before kissing her hand. She takes her hand away, hitting his chest playfully while her cheeks flushing pink which makes him chuckle. Raksh who is watching everything grins from ear to ear.

Screen freezes on their smiling faces.
