The Maheshwari women are at Baadi for Ragini and Laksh Paghphera rasaam.

Pari has covered Laksh with the cotton on his clothes with this Ragini starts to remove them by her hands...

Laksh wasn't sure, I don't know what I'm doing here. I know it is a ritual, but for what? A marriage I did in anger. A decision I took and destroyed an innocent life. Ragini's life, whom I can't fill with love, because I love someone else. Gosh what is happing here? I need a sign, but what kind of sign. I married her by my own. She didn't forced me. No Swara runaway. All blamed her, she is my friend, how could I let her suffer for someone else deeds? Ragini I can't promise you much, but one thing is sure, I will be the best friend of yours.

Ragini was taking the cottons from his sherwani, when she comes closer both had an intense eye lock...

Laksh couldn't sort the inner turmoil,
what is this feeling? It is wrong, but yet I liked it very much, her closeness feels right, but my mind says 'no'. My heart is confused, What should I believe?

The first part of the ritual ended. It was now Laksh turn to remove the cottons from Ragini. The families were teasing them, but they didn't care...

Laksh starts with his part of the ritual, with hesitation he removes the cottons he wasn't much interested, but yet he was trying his best to keep the family happy.

Ragini could sense it, I know Laksh you are not happy with me neither with the wedding, but please trust me what I did was for your betterment. Swara never loved you! Honestly I'm not even sure if you have ever loved her.. cause if you would have... then you wouldn't have married me, right?

Laksh felt a current passing through his body, what is this feeling as soon as I touched her I felt a current passing through my veins. Her shyness is always present, yet she is there by my side to support me on my toughness time.

The next ritual starts, where the groom and bride has to search for the ring. It is said that, who finds the ring is the 'boss' in the relationship.

Pari smiles, "think my Brother-in-law will win this one."

Uttara shook her head, "No way, Bhabhi is gonna win this."

Pari lifts an eyebrow, "acha {really} let's see."

Laksh was more than disinterested, how many rituals I have to take on me? What kind of meaning have they, none.

Ragini saw into his face, those eyes which shows her that this meant nothing to him, what is this,Laksh isn't even interested in all of this. How can we have a fair play, when he isn't playing?! Oh.

AP claps in her hands, "wah my Daughter-in-law will rule over my son."

They all laughed...

The next ritual start in which Ragini has to place her hand in vermilion water and place them on the wall. Laksh was just a viewer of this ritual.

Daadi smiles, "Ladoo here right here you have to place your hands to leave your prints."

Ragini nods with a smile.

Just after Ragini places her hands on the wall and left the print they heard a noise.

They all looked outside the door...

Laksh made a move, but was hold back by AP, "Laksh you can't leave in the middle like this." It was a clear warning.

Laksh shook his head, "Maa we finished, right? This was the last ritual she had to do. Daadi was about to call as for food, let me check what is going on there."

The noises increase and all come out.

Laksh got a shock, what the hell, no this can't be true how could she, no how could they do this to me?

Ragini looked at them, "Swara Sanskaar what is this? You got married?" She was as shocked as the others were.

Sanskaar looked at her, "haan we got married do you have a problem?"

Ragini shook her head, "no Sanskaar, but she is your brother's love, how?"

Swara shocked, "what Ragini, Laksh was my love too! So how?"

Ragini was determined, "before he was your love he was mine! I haven't snatched him away he married me by his own wish."

Swara glares at her, haan after pushing me into the river. "Ragini please don't talk on this matter as it is not connected to you."

Laksh shook his head, "Swara why you married Sanskaar? How will... how we will live under one roof?"

Swara took a deep breath, "I will live with my husband under one roof. You don't worry we have a bedroom."

Laksh was hurt and felt disgusted, "How can you..?"

Swara rolls her eyes, "I don't need to explain you anything Mr. Lakshya Maheshwari. You have married another woman on our wedding date, she pushed me. She only, she was the reason why I couldn't attend our wedding."

Laksh shows his palm, "don't blame her! She is the only true friend I have. At least she didn't left my side. She didn't went to my brother anf married him."

Sanskaar made a fist, "Laksh mind your tongue she is my wife and your Bhabhi."

Laksh world was breaking apart. His so called love had just married his brother. Why? Why she did this? Does she wants to hurt me more?What I did wrong to her? Was it a crime that I fall in love with her? I never thought she would hurt me this way... choosing a way like this is like someone stabs you into your back million of times. Even if Ragini has done anything like this, she never betrayed me.

Laksh was broken his heart was broken.

Ragini places a hand on his shoulder. "Laksh... please control yourself."

Laksh nodded at her, they left from there to MM.

Sujata did the arthi of SwaSan and made them come in.

AP couldn't believe it either, "Sanskaar how could you do this?! Marry the woman, who left your brother waiting at the mandap?"

Sanskaar stopped her, "baadi maa Swara is now my wife and what happened happens for good. You got your wish, Ragini."

RagLak were in their bedroom.

Laksh was sitting there silently, Swara I can't see you like this with my brother?! Why you did this? Do you want to hurt me that much?! Wasn't it enough for you, leaving me alone at the mandap. I was devastated. But Ragini cheered me up. Giving me hopes that you might be back anytime. Why would she do that, when she knew you won't come back? You come back, but it was too late I made my decision. Still not sure if it was the right one. But yes I haven't done it to hurt anyone I did it to save us from humiliation.

Ragini couldn't bear his state, she too falls weak and cries.

Why, Laksh why? Why does she still effects you? Doesn't my love matter to you? Is my love that weak? I have done a crime, but just to protect you. I knew she doesn't love you, but I do! I love you madly. Call my love obsession I don't care, but seeing you like this hurt me even more. You know your pain is my pain! Your happiness is my happiness. Please Laksh try to forget her and move on. I know it isn't easy, but if she had loved you, Would she have married your brother just like this? No, then? Please Laksh, look at me once and you will find only love, for You.

SwaSan were in their bedroom... 🙈🙈🙉🙉.

Laksh was completely broken.. 💔.
