Her voice is the rhythm of shiva's damarukam. Her voice is the music in saraswati devi's veena. Her voice is the reflection of the sounds of sacred rivers of ganga Yamuna and saraswati. Her voice is purest of the pure. Her voice sooths the pain. Her voice gives the strength. Her voice has the power..!!!

Ragini..!!

This name suits for that girl who has music in her throat.

That baby is given this name...

Ragini, a royal princess of that royal family. She is the only heir. That only village is ruled by these kings still after independence who also run factories and other business. Her life was made only the life dedicated to the walls of palace. She was never permitted out due to security reasons.

One day, she listens to the melodious heart melting music from the mountains which are near to her. Her feet start moving involuntarily to the direction of the music which is coming.

She listens to the music. A music which is mesmerizing her heart. Awakening her soul.

She walks.. she keeps walking in search of that music.

Her footsteps become eager to catch that source of music. Her eyes are growing eager to see the musician who is playing that music.

The anklets sounds on her legs was dancing along with his flute music.

That music was tempting.. clearing her sorrows and giving her a pleasure of being a music lover.

As the river flow, in those mountains that music was reflecting each and every corner making all ears to get stick to it.

She reaches. She reaches the man who is playing that music with a flute. He has called her heart.

Her anklets sounds distracts his ears. He stops the music and turns back.

They look each other. Their eyes are locked in the eternal bliss of unknown emotion. Their hearts pumped a rage of passion.

He is turned to be Laksh.

Laksh looks at her from top to bottom who is standing in the rich gagra.

'who are you?' she asks.

'I'm prince Laksh, from Maheswari royal family. May I know, who is this princess?'

Ragini smiles gently,

'The princess of this land'

She says and turns to run back.

'hey, stop..' he shouts.

But, she was running away. Then Laksh takes out his flute again to start the music. Ragini stops listening to that music. His music ties her legs magically. Laksh was playing the music and comes near her. Ragini was stuck there itself. She was getting mesmerized to listening to the music.

Laksh comes near her and stops the music. He whispers in her ears,

"Do you love music this much Princess?"

"Yes, love it. More than anything." Ragini says.

"That's why, your name has music.... Ragini'"

Ragini smiles looking at him.

'Can I hear the same music everyday?' she asks.

'Sure Princess' Laksh bends his head before her.

Ragini smiles..

Their friendship starts with music. Their relation is bond by music. Music is the soul for both of them.

Laksh plays the music from the valley of those mountains.. Ragini listens to it from her fort sitting at her window..

She takes steps and dances to that melodious flute music and her anklets sounds reflect in that fort.

The sounds of music and anklets inter mix giving a rhythmic tone which reflects in that valley.

And, hence slowly the passion among them grows...

One day, Laksh sends his passionate message from the vibes of that flute... and it touches Ragini's heart. Only she can understand the fire in that desire. Automatically, her feet runs to catch the music. She reaches him who is standing there waiting to embrace in his love.

Ragini runs and hugs him tightly burying her soul into his.

"I love you Prince"

"And, I accept it Princess"

They exchange their promises of love.

Laksh cups her face in his vast hands and moves her chin near to his lips to make a contact of his lips on hers.

They exchange their hearts along with the kiss of approval. And, their wishes are accepted by their parents.. they decide to make them together with marriage.

Meanwhile, one day.. Dusta happens to see Ragini. And fell in love with her. He asks her to marry him. Ragini's only answer,

"Ragini belongs to the man who cares for people. Not to the one who harms people like you..!"

"If you are rejecting me bcz of this people...!!" Dusta fumes and turns each and every person in that village as a soul.

They are not alive and not dead.

"Look at your lifeless kingdom now Princess..!!" Dusta laughs.

Ragini looks at her kingdom where people are lying down as corps. And, they are roaming as white forms.

'Princess, save us..!! Save us..!!" their tones make her grief. The tones of their agony touch her heart and make her nervous. She can't the take pain of her kingdom.

Yes, she has to save her people..!!

Ragini then remembers about the power within her. By birth, she has mystic powers of curing any one with her soothing voice. She remains unaffected with any magical charms because of her birth power.

Ragini stands in centre of her kingdom in a mandap.(stage) from where, whole kingdom can listen to her voice.

She starts singing,

"The sun has raised to clean dark..."

Dusta and his men just then comes to attack Ragini to stop her effort to save those people.

A man is about to throw a sword on her, but that sword falls down with blow of other sword. It's Laksh who has did it.

Ragini smiles looking at him. Laksh blinks his eyes in smile to continue singing.

Ragini continues...

"The cool breeze has blown to drive away sorrow..."

Laksh was fighting with those men to save Ragini. But, a sharp knife suddenly shoots towards Laksh and pierces through his chest.

Laksh falls down dropping his sword lifelessly on ground.

The song in Ragini's throat stops looking at him.

"Laksh..!!" she shouts and runs to him,

but... Dusta throws a dagger at her which stabs into her back.

Ragini falls down looking at Laksh with her unclosed eyes.

Their hands are a inch apart without meeting each other.

"Die you princess..!! Die you prince..!! This kingdom.. stay un alive forever..!!" shouts Dusta madly.

"Princess..!! Save us. Save us.." words still keep roaming in her soul.

Her soul remembers only these words...

That soul travels into new life...

Who again has born as Ragini..! 

And, the kingdom has remained forever non living. The people as souls remained like that, just waiting for her arrival.

And, the two hearts stopped without connecting their love...

Flash back End.

Ragini and Laksh are sitting on a dining table in their house. Ragini was holding a cup of coffee without drinking it. Laksh was silently looking out of window. They both have remembered their past, after that mesmerizing kiss of them in that forest. The past has come into their mind as a flash.

That's why Ragini used to listen to Laksh's music mesmerized in music acedamy. That's why she used to feel she has a past relation with Laksh. That's why she has realized that she loves music this much. That's the mystery of her dreams...

That's why she has fallen for him. That's why she has started loving him so easily. It has not started just now. But, many years ago..!

Ragini sighs keeping the coffee cup aside. Laksh looks at her.

"I will sing the song Laksh. I will make them free." Ragini says, Laksh smiles at her.

Laksh:: Ragini, did you really think that I will kill you??

Ragini looks at him.

Lak:: if you have really loved me, you would not have misunderstood me. I said them like that to avoid doubt that I was helping you to reach village..!! 

Ragini gets tears,

"What should I do Laksh?? When i know half truth? If I wouldn't have really loved you, I wouldn't have returned back..!!"

Ragini closes her eyes tightly to control her tears. Laksh feels sad and comes aside to her.

"Ragini, sorry.." he says patting her shoulder. Ragini suddenly hugs him surprising.

"I have to say sorry Laksh."

Laksh was patting her back,

"Ragini, yes.. I'm a magician. But, I have turned as a magician for you..!!"

Ragini breaks the hug and looks at him amazed.

Laksh: My father has left his life to save you. Do you know that? Your parents did ever tell you that??

Ragini bends her head in confusion.

Laksh goes aside and rubs his tears. She goes near him and she puts her hand on his shoulder.

Ragini: please tell me everything clearly Laksh. I can't understand you.

Then Laksh tells her all story.

"Annapurna doesn't know that Durga Prasad is a magician. But both are married thirty years back. Laksh is born after their five years of married life. After three years Ragini is born. As soon as she is born, magician Dusta and Durga Prasad(Simhanath) comes to know that she is born again. Then itself Annapurna comes to know that he is a magician, and she goes away from him taking away Laksh.

When Dusta men come to kill the baby, Simhanath comes and saves her. In that fight he is killed. Knowing that, Annapurna cries a lot. Later she bought up Laksh on herself. When Laksh is 15 years, he comes to know about all the story from his mother.

Annapurna before dying, "Son, you have to fulfill your father's incomplete wish. I never wanted to see you as a magician. But, to identify that girl and to protect her, you have to learn magic. You have to save her and take her to that village. You should never use magic for other purposes than this..." says Annapurna and dies.

To fulfill his father's mission, and to fulfill his mother's wish, Laksh has to turn as a magician.

Laksh tells this past.

Rag:: but Laksh, why your father has turned a magician? Why he decided to help that village?

Lak:: father was a disciple magician dusta. But, he has turned positive after seeing agony of those souls. That's why he has decided to help. And, fortunately I have become his son in this next life. That's why his mission has become my mission. I got a easy way to take revenge from Magician Dusta.

Laksh says in a smirk.

Ragini looks on...

Laksh holds his black cloths which are kept on a box.

"I knew all this previous life many years back itself. I have inherited some powers from my father. And, I have started the practice in black magic from my 15 years of age. Not just a practice, it's a horrifying practice."

Laksh slides his hand on his shirt buttons, and those tear away exposing his chest where he has so many cut and burn marks.

Ragini shocks looking at them.

Laksh says in a smirk.. "I have even fainted many times due to uncontrollable power..!!"

A fb flash is shown, when Laksh trying to chant a charm and falling down in pain.

Ragini gets tears imagining it.

Rag:: why you have to do all this Laksh?? Why were you not normal??

Lak:: To protect you Ragini. Only a magician can oppose a magician. If I need to save you from Dusta, I have to learn this. That's why, I have turned myself as a magician.. of this black magic..!!!

A thunder strikes outside. He holds the iron rod of window.

"Everyone who knew about me, are afraid of me..!!" Laksh says in smirk who's eyes turned red horrifying. His nervous bulge all thorough his muscles.

Ragini wipes her tears.

Rag:: I don't want to see you like this Laksh. I want you to be normal. Let's start a fresh life. I want a good life with you. You are my husband..!

Laksh closes his eyes. His nervous become normal.

Lak:: Ragini, I have never loved you. This marriage, this love drama was all to save you and keep you far from that Dusta.

Ragini shocks with his words.

Rag:: don't lie. Why did you kiss me if you didn't love me?? Laksh, this was started many years back...!!

Lak:: it was then Ragini. Not now. I don't have any feelings for you now. My vision is only for this mission. You can't live happily with a magician like me.

Ragini shouts,

"Why did you come into my life then??? Why did you create feelings to me..?? You traitor..!! You are a liar..!! I know you love me..!!! Don't say our love as purpose..!! I hate you..!!"

Ragini shouts in tears and runs back.

Laksh turns back who has tears in his eyes.

"Ragini.." he calls...

But, Ragini runs into her room and closes the doors. Ragini leans to the doors crying and then understands why Laksh has avoided all these days.

"Ragini, open the door. We should talk..!!" Laksh knocks the door from out.

Ragini wipes her tears and falls on bed crying.

Suddenly, the doors get opened which she has bolted. Ragini looks at them shocked..!
