Maheshwari Mansion, Sanskar's room, same day of Sanskar's return, night after dinner. Sanskar, Sujatha, Uttara and Ram are present in the room.

Sanskar made Ram, Sujatha and Uttara to sit beside each other on bed and he sat on his knees in front of them on the floor. He took three of their hands and held them together.

"I am sorry for going away like that not saying anything to you." He said.

"I won't forgive you. You don't know how much I missed you!" Uttara said twisting her lips.

"I will make it up for it." Sanskar said smiling at his sister.

"I will make the list!" Uttara said grinning.

Sanskar chuckled and nodded. He then looked at his parents who are looking at him as if they are taking him into their whole brain as they still fear that he will leave them again.

"I know you still fear that I will leave the house again!" Sanskar spoke.

Ram and Sujatha shivered a bit and their eyes turned teary.

"Bhai!" Uttara called him with choking voice.

He looked at her but the reaction of his parents has effected him a lot. He once again looked at his parents.

"This time when I am leaving it's going to be with three of you!" He said.

Three of them looked shocked and confused at a time.

"I want to take all three of you along with me." Sanskar answered their unasked question.

Ram was about to speak but Sanskar spoke not letting him.

"I know you never wanted to go away from your brother and always wants to stay with him but I want you all to stay with me Dad." Sanskar said.

"Then you can stay here!" Ram said obviously.

"If I could I wouldn't have left earlier dad. I can't stay in this house. And I can't stay away from all three of you anymore dad. I had taken enough pain. Now I want what I want. That's all. And I want all four of us together with proper respect and honour. I know you have always ignored Bade papa's insults, Laksh's insults but I can't dad. Not just you all four of us have really less importance in this house. I don't want my father to stay anymore under someone's rules. I want my father to live his happy life. I want my mom not to always ask someone whenever she wants to cook something, I don't want my sister to think before she does something just because her bade papa would get angry." Sanskar spoke.

Ram looked at him lovingly so does Sujatha and Uttara.

"I agree to everything you spoke beta but does breaking the family gives you happiness?" Ram asked.

"I am not asking you to break the family dad. I am just asking you to come with me. Talk to them everyday through phone. I am not asking you to stop talking to them. But I am saying atleast we can be independent of our lives." Sanskar spoke.

Ram looked on.

"I promise I will give it a thought." Ram said caressing Sanskar's hair.

Sanskar smiled and nodded. He doesn't want to break the family too but he has to because it's high time. He felt it's needed for them. Also he had definitely added Ragini to his thoughts. Once he convince his family about Ragini, he would definitely get married to her. And it will be awkward to everybody and he doesn't want to face that one.

"And there is something else too!" Sanskar said.

"What is it bhai?" Uttara asked.

"I... I Love someone!" Sanskar said.

"Yayyy!" Sujatha screamed in happiness.

"I guess the reaction would change when you learn who the person is mom!" he said with doubt.

"Eh?" Sujatha looked questioning.

"Who is it Sanskar?" Ram asked holding his hand.

Sanskar sighed and took a deep breathe before he spoke.

"Ragini!" he said making three of them look shocked.

"Ragini? Laksh's ex wife?" Sujatha asked as she came out of her shock.

Sanskar nodded.

"Have you gone mad Sanskar? You know right she is Laksh's ex wife. You know she is a divorcee and that also of your brother's! And from when this is going? You are in Mumbai right? From where did this girl come?" Sujatha spoke angrily.

"Let's put everything aside mom. Divorcee? Am I not Divorcee too? That too of her sister!" Sanskar spoke.

"It's different..." Sujatha gets interrupted.

"No mom. It's not different. It's one and the same." Sanskar spoke.

"You know that girl did so much to our family!" Sujatha tried to strengthen her argument.

"Didn't the family do anything to her, especially me?" Sanskar argued back.

Sujatha stood from there and left not speaking a word. Sanskar sighed and looked at Ram and Uttara.

"Come sit here!" Ram asked Sanskar to sit beside him.

Sanskar sits beside him.

"Is Ragini and your love for her is the reason you wants us to come with you?" Ram asked.

"I don't want lie dad. It is one of the reasons but not the sole reason dad." Sanskar replied.

Ram nodded.

"You sure about Ragini?" Ram asked.

Sanskar smiled but there is pain in his eyes.

"None knows about the pain I went through when I saw her with Lucky dad. None knows how much I Love her dad. None knows my pain. It was like I was dying every second seeing her running behind Lucky but not even having a clue that there is someone else who is dying to get just a glance of her. I am not blaming her dad. It was me who had taken a stupid decision to let her go being blind of my revenge. But when I realised, it was too late. She had become someone else's. Every second I have cursed myself for taking a stupid decision and also for admiring and loving the person who is my brother's wife. I had felt even disgusted of myself for seeing my brother's wife with even love filled eyes. But dad when everything got spoiled and Laksh had done a big mistake of betraying her I wanted to be her solace, peace everything. She asked me to go away from her and I went away respecting her decision. That's when life has given me a second chance dad. I was adamant to not to leave the chance. I had sufficed every bit of pain inside me, smiled in front of her, hid my love for her, made sure every second that I make her feel that I will stay with her every second of her life till last breathe, make her feel my love, make her trust me was the biggest exam I had went through. After passing that exam all I want now was a peaceful life with her, with my family. Nothing else. I was never sure about anything before dad. It was her I am sure and will be forever sure about." Sanskar spoke his heart out to his father.

Ram heard everything patiently and then caressed his son's hair.

"I am with you. Ragini is really a good girl. It was the circumstances that had made her like that. I know you were one of those reasons. Now all the past is not important for me. Your happiness and your future is what I want and is important to me. If you want me to I will go talk to Shekhar ji and their family." Ram said.

Sanskar smiled.

"Thank You Dad! Only after mom understands this. I will talk to her again tomorrow. I will explain her. She is angry now." Sanskar spoke.

Ram smiled and nodded.

"And bhai!" Uttara spoke and moved towards him to sit beside him.

"I am also with you. I always loved Ragini bhabhi even if she had done wrong things to us. She was the cutest then and I hope she is same now!" Uttara said excited.

Sanskar smiled and side hugged her.

"Thank You my little devil!" he said kissing her forehead.

"Don't know she must want something from you!" Ram teased Uttara.

Uttara looked at him with cute anger while Sanskar chuckled.

"Even if she wants I will give her everything dad." Sanskar spoke hugging Uttara to his chest and kissing her head this time lovingly.

Uttara grinned while hugging him. Ram smiled at his children.

Swara looked around waiting for Sahil at the music academy. She came there lying to Dadi that she has important work at the academy as dadi had strictly denied Sahil and Swara to meet till their engagement. Suddenly her phone beeped. She looked at the phone and her hand stopped a moment before she open the text.

"Who is that person who stopped my express?" Sahil asked from behind.

Swara looked at him.

"Sanskar!" she said.

"So?" He asked.

"This is the first time he texted after that day Sahil!" She said.

"So?" He asked.

"It didn't make any difference now!" she said smiling happily.

Sahil smiled while she just hugged him. He hugged her back satisfied and happy that she has moved on with him.

"You are the best!" she said looking at him.

"That I know!" he said with fake proudness on his face making her laugh.

"Chalo see what he wants now!" Sahil said.

"It must be about Ragini. He is here too!" she said while opening the text and showing it to Sahil.

He nodded.

"I will talk later. Anyways why did you ask me to meet you?" she asked.

And he took her from there as he planned a surprise for her.

****

"Raguuuuuuu!" Swara screamed as she entered home happily.

She hugged Ragini tight as she saw her in her room.

"Woah! Woah! What happened my sister?" Ragini asked.

"Guess what!? Sahil proposed me with a ring today finally!" Swara said happy and excited.

"Eh? Didn't he propose you earlier?" Ragini asked confused.

"He didn't ask me for marriage yaar. I told you, he directly asked papa... I mean he directly came with his parents and asked papa for permission for marrying me." Swara explained.

Ragini looked confused.

"What's the difference?" Ragini asked confused.

"Aww... my cute, innocent Ragu is back!" Swara pulled Ragini's cheeks.

Ragini shook her head seeing her.

"Acha leave about me. I was thinking let's go to temple. Get freshen up fast!" Swara pushed Ragini into the washroom.

Ragini hit her head and got freshen up.

"Wow Ragu! Chudidar after many months!" Swara said.

She wore a Chudidar and a braid just like the Ragini in the initial episodes of the show.

Ragini smiled.

"Shall we go?" Swara asked.

Ragini nodded.

"Ragu let's go that side!" Swara pulled her after they did darshan of god in the temple towards the bridge near the temple.

As soon as they reached near the bridge Ragini saw a familiar figure. Her eyes glowed as she saw him standing there facing towards his back. She looked at Swara who smiled and shrugged her shoulders. She just ran towards him and hugged from behind. He smiled as he felt her arms around him. He held her hand and kissed it. He then broke the hug and turned to her. She again hugged him.

"I missed you!" she whispered.

He smiled as he observed her wearing a Chudidar than her words.

"You wore a Chudidar!" he stated.

She frowned and broke the hug.

"I missed you too my Cutie pie!" he said pulling her cheeks for which she grinned.

"So you wore this just for me?" he asked grabbing the edge of her dupatta.

Ragini smiled and nodded.

"Aww!" he pocked her nose smiling happily.

"You could have directly texted me to meet you. I would have. Why Swara and all?" Ragini shook her head.

"Then you wouldn't be as happy as you are now!" he said shrugging.

Ragini smiled shaking her head. They hear a throat clearing sound taking both of their attention. Ragini turned and looked at the person and all she could do was gulp. Sanskar looked on.

"What are you doing here Sanskar?" Sujatha asked seeing at them seriously.

"Mom..." he gets interrupted.

"Why are you here with this girl?" Sujatha asked glaring Ragini.

Ragini felt sad and looked down.

"She even forgot the manners of taking blessing from her Saasu Ma!" Sujatha said.

Ragini's eyes widened and she immediately looked at Sujatha. She is glaring her. Ragini looked at Sanskar who is smiling at her. She immediately turned towards Sujatha and took blessings from her. Sujatha smiled brightly and blessed her happily. Ragini looked at her and was actually surprised of the smile on her face. She called herself as Saasu Ma. Means she accepted her. How? Ragini thought.

"Whenever you want us to talk to your family we will come to your house and talk about your marriage!" Sujatha said cupping Ragini's face lovingly.

"Okay aunty!" Ragini said smiling lightly.

"Mom!" Sujatha said caressing her hair.

Ragini smiled brightly and nodded.

"Okay Mom!" Said Ragini and hugged her tight.

"Thank You!" she whispered in her ear making Sujatha tap her back with smile.

"Chalo I will leave now. You both spend some time and come back." Sujatha said as she broke the hug and looked at Sanskar.

Sanskar nodded with smile to his mother and Sujatha left. While leaving she gave a formal smile to Swara as she did it to her. Swara moved towards RagSan who are smiling at each other staring happily.

"Sorry to disturb love birds." Swara said.

"Third wheel!" Sanskar intentionally commented.

Swara rolled her eyes.

"Yeah!" Swara said sarcastically.

Sanskar just ignored her.

"Sweetheart you also go home. Dadi must be waiting for you already. We will meet tomorrow!" Sanskar said.

"Yeah! The works would start tomorrow. And everybody will know about you in my life!" Ragini said worried.

Sanskar held her hand and nodded assuring her.

"I told you if there is any problem also Swara is there na to make cunning plans!" Sanskar said eyeing Swara.

Swara fumed.

"Thank God that you are my sister's love. Otherwise I would have pushed you into this river by now!" Swara said.

"Guys you were friends earlier, weren't you?" Ragini asked in disbelief.

"In dreams!" Both of them said at a time and glared each other.

"Is this going to happen always whenever you face off?" Ragini asked in worry.

"Aww My Ragu, this is our way of friendship. You stop getting worried for everything!" Swara said side hugging her.

Ragini looked at Sanskar and he nodded assuring her. She sighed and nodded.

"Bye! Take care!" he said cupping her face and kissing her forehead.

Ragini smiled and nodded. Swara smiled seeing her sister's happy smile. That smile reflected the happiness for which she actually craved.

'It would have been amazing if Sanskar and Sahil came into our lives earlier!' Swara thought.

She shook her head off not thinking about the past any more and smiling at the cute romance RagSan are involved in. Ragini is pouting and not leaving his hand shaking her head while Sanskar is convincing her to go home.

"Romance done? Shall we go?" Swara asked.

Ragini huffed finally leaving his hand and left after bidding bye to him again. Sanskar smiled at the way she went.
