Hola! Before you move ahead, the tiny star is waiting for your gentle touch ;) Let it glow :D 

Bold Italics - Flash backs

Just Italics - Voices from the past

"Mmmmmm!" Ragini took in the aroma as Ritika stood next to her staring "Seriously? Di?"

"Come on Ritzi!" Ragini exclaimed "It's pav bhaji, you gotta wait for some time besides it's not like some ambani of yours is gonna be missed. It's just a blind date!"

"Yeah" she scoffed "I hope he's not blind or you guys would make the best couple. A blind and a mental, you know I pity him."

"Hahaha" Ragini flipped her hair "The guy who gets Ragini would be the luckiest in the world, lakho mai ek!"

"Nope" Ritika shook her head "He'll be the finest guy, with no ability to hurt you a inch but keep you the happiest in the world. It's like you're just about to look at the pav bhaji stall and he'll be standing ready with the plate."

Ragini chuckled "I wish you weren't my sister but some guy. I would have married you the instant!"

"I wish you had your eyes wide open for the guy whose waiting right inside the car anxiously for us, he's getting late but still waiting."

"Sanskar?" 

Ritika nodded "Isn't it obvious Di?"

"What?"

They stared at Sanskar seated inside his car working on something on his laptop while talking on the bluetooth at the same time "See he has so much to work and still he's there, he's always there for you."

"Correction" she took the plate from the guy and sat on the seat "For us, he has time for both of us."

She took a small piece and forwarded the morsel to Ritika who ate it as Ragini stared at her for opinion she gave a thumbsup and she teared another piece of the bread "Infact Ritzi, he has canceled many important stuff for you, remember when you wanted to attend the late night party and then when you fell ill he even canceled his US trip."

"Knock knock you Idiot" she literally knocked on Ragini's forehead making her frown "He came for the party with me cos he din't want you worrying about your little sister. He canceled the US trip so that he could be there with you to help you and support you. Cos after all you worry so much that even my illness gets scared of you at times."

Ragini ate happily as Ritika smiled seeing her thus, suddenly Ragini started waving her hand in front of her mouth. Before Ritika could get water someone already gave her as she drank hurriedly he chuckled.

"Kuch bhukkad log I tell you" Sanskar snaked his arm around Ritika's shoulder "From where did Uncle aunty buy this antique piece? I mean baathe ithni teekhi krti hai pr ek mirchi kya khaali madam ki halath toh dekho! (All she does is talk so much but a little spice and now look at her.)"

Ragini twisted her lips "Now that your pav bhaji cravings are done shall we?"

She nodded and as he left Ritika stared at Ragini who asked "What?" and Ritika shrugged "What did I say?"

"Ritzi, he's my best friend and that's it. I love Tarun."

"O yeah? Then where is he now?"

"It's love Ritzi not some GPS- "

"Where is he whenever you have wanted him Di?" she shrugged "I mean, your even more blind then this blind date."

Someone knocked on the car window bringing Ragini's attention back to present "Yea?" her lips curved up when Ritika waved her two favorite flavors in front of her mango and chocolate.

She could never finish a single ice-cream let alone be eating two but then just one flavor would be unfair for her ice-cream cravings after all. So since childhood, they had two ice cream's and shared it together.

She got out of the car "Which one?" her smile fell down and she grabbed one mindlessly "I miss the old us."

"You do? I thought your new big sister was too much of a amazing sister for you" Ritika bit her lower lip staring at Ragini who had a bite of the mango kulfi 

"Who are you two sisters plotting on again?"

Sanskar leaned on the car having his ice cream "I hope it's not against me, a handsome man whose so naive like me deserves innocence and happy life" he pouted at the duo and they giggled.

Ragini was about to have another bite, Ritika forwarded her chocolate chip kulfi "I might not be all the loving sister like her, but then log badalte hai rishte nahi."

Ragini exchanged the kulfi and Sanskar scoffed "Why exchange when you've got money to buy another?"

Before Ragini could reply Sanskar showed her his palm, he kept his small tub of ice cream and turned to them "It's not exchange Sanskar" his voice made both the girls eyes go wide "It's called sharing you know sharing" he flipped his hypothetical long hair and the sisters exchanged glances.

"Lucky Bhai!" the whole water splashed on Sanskar while Lakshya hid behind the sister's who burst out into hysterics now.

Lakshya smiled innocently at Sanskar while Lavanya gave a sheepish smile too "I love you Sanskar Bhai."

"Aww, come here let me hug you" he chased her as she ran, Ritika turned around "Oh, Mango!" he grabbed the kulfi from her hand and took a bite.

"Hawww, I din't even have a bite!"

"Aww, you didn't?" she shook her head and he took a bigger bite "Your bad, cos I don't share food."

"Jerk!" she stamped her foot and sat inside the car as he smiled shaking his head.

"That's mine you Idiot!"

"It is? But then there's no Swara written anywhere here?"

"Lucky! Give it to me!"

"Mmmm!"

"I hate you!"

"I love you... " he whispered and Ragini kept her hand on his shoulder "You fine?"

He nodded "Yup, just some memories."

He walked towards the drivers seat and she smiled "Thinking of me?" Sanskar whispered to her ear his hands snaked around her hips and her eyes widened "Sanskar your brother doesn't know!"

She tried to  free herself but his hold was stronger "So what, he can know now" his head rested on her shoulder as the drivers seat opened and Lakshya's head popped up "I know everything honewali Bhabhi, Lucky's too smart you see."

The window slid down and Ritika nodded "Smart enough to steal peoples kulfi's, your brother should be in jail jeeju!"

"You both" Sanskar finally let her go and she sighed but then he got some money from his jacket's pocket and started waving them round round thrice "Aisehi bulate raho, sach hojaega bohot jald!"

"Bhai your so turning into chachi" Lakshya chuckled as Sanskar gave the money to Ragini and she frowned as he said "Isse sindoor aur mangalsutra khareed lena mere naam ka."

Ragini cocked her brow up as Ritika replied "What's the use of buying it of your name? When big sister doesn't even have the guts to say I love Sanskar Maheshwari in front of strangers?"

"Don't put idea's in his head you devil!" Ragini scolded Ritika.

"Am I Jeeju?" she pouted and Sanskar turned to Ragini "Don't you dare scold my saalisahiba, you phattu!"

"Haww" Lavanya exclaimed "My Bhabhi's not a phattu!"

"Exactly!" Ragini crossed her arms over her chest as Sanskar leaned to her "Then say it."

"Say what?"

"Let it be Ragini" Sanskar shook his head turning towards the other car "Tumse na hopaega!"

"Hun?"

"Ritika, I think you should handover the bet money to lucky. Your sister would- "

"Everyone" Ragini balance herself on the front top of Sanskar's car "I want to tell everyone something" and Sanskar rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

The people gathered around while a few vehicles stopped "I ... " Ragini gulped in nervously as the wind blew her hair curls "I Ragini... I ... "

"Ragini" he shut the car door and rushed in front of the car "Get down."

She gazed into his eyes 

"Di, look into his eyes once 

and you'll find all the strength to your fears, 

happiness to your sadness, 

love to your emptiness 

and faith to your broken trust... 

Your knight in shining armour... "

"What are you staring at?"

"I Love you Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari... " Sanskar glared at a few bikers who oggled at Ragini "Yes! I so do" she stamped her foot on the car repeating louder "I LOVE YOU SANSKAR MAHESHWARI, I SO SO SO MUCH LOVE YOU!"

He turned around shocked, his jaw hung open while their eyes met there was a role reversal this time. Her eyes reflected happiness while his had tears, his lips curved up as Lavanya hugged him tightly "Aww, look at you Bhai!"

He chuckled as Ragini jumped down the car "I'm not afraid anymore, I'm the fearless Ragini, the lioness who fell in love with a monkey" she pouted cutely as Ritika tapped on her shoulder.

"Yes little sister?"

"I believe you realize now who is your true knight in the shining armour Di?"

She nodded "Yes little sister, he has always been... " she held Ritika's hand as Lavanya held Sanskar "You know you might be the first hero who actually cried when the heroine admitted she loved you."

"Is it bad?"

"No ways, actually I'm just bummed thinking is Swara Bhabhi really Laksh's forever." She turned towards Lakshya "When is she making you cry? I want payback, it's high time you start being emotional and not a heartless jerk!"

He smiled nervously as those voices hit again "Everyone!"

"Oh, so is Miss Swara trying to prove something?"

"Huh!"

"Okay, listen I'm not going to stop you alright if that's what your thinking?"

"Everybody, I... "

"Yes, she!"

"Mr. Gadhalal Maheshwari, I love you."

"You!"

He heard her giggle and repeat louder this time "YES, I LOVE YOU MR. GADHALAL MAHESHWARI, I LOVE YOU!"

"Lo, Bhabhi ka naam kya lelia aap toh unke sapno mai hi khoo gye?"

He brushed his hair smiling weakly "I think we should leave."

Lavanya held Sanskar's arm "I'm toh going with my heroine Bhai today" and Sanskar rolled his eyes at her "Come on Pushpa, I hate tears but you kinda look cute!"

In the car, "You fine?" he turned to Ritika who seemed a bit worried "Asks who? The girl who tried to hit me with a pan?"

"Be serious Lakshya, life isn't always funny."

"Why do you care Ritika? The last I remember is you hating me and suggesting Swara to run off from our wedding, then why now?"

"Cos I don't want you to have an accident again and get back your past memories. I don't want you to remember how horrible you were. How you- " she paused realizing what she was about to say.

Maheshwari Mansion,

"LAKSHYA!" Swara sat up sweating profusely as she heard the noise downstairs she rushed out of her bed.

"Naah chore, you guys took so much time I thought you were buying the whole shop or something" Sujatha exclaimed checking the bags "Mom, I just dropped Ragini home."

"Yeah" Lavanya wiped her fake tears and Sanskar glared at her "You know chachi, dropping Ragini was the most heart wrenching thing. Bhai.. " he shook his head "I already miss her so much."

"Even I do, you know chori she comes with so much happiness and when shes gone this house feels like it has lost it's light and charm."

"You know chachi" Lavanya turned to excited "I think we should do something to keep her here forever! What say?"

Sanskar rested his head on Annapurna's lap who caressed his hair lovingly, as her eyes were on her mischievous daughter "I know where your going chori but her parents won't agree."

"Why not?" she sat up straight "I Lavanya Maheshwari can make anyone agree these are toh just uncle aunty, infact they will be the first ones to do that knowing that jerk ass wont ever return."

"Lavanya!" Annapurna warned and she pouted "What Maa? Don't Lavanya me okay, he is a jerk and I hated him from start. My Bhai is the one who was supposed to get- "

They heard something fall and someone screamed "Maa!"
