Radhe Krishna

"What?" Arav shouted in shock and stood numb by hearing him.

"What did you say Sanskar?" Arav asked him holding his both shoulder.

Sanskar came into sense and looked at Arav with blank face.

"Sanskar say something" Arav shook him with shocking face as he couldn't able to believe what he heard just now.

Sanskar told him everything what happened on that day.
Arav got tears listening him.

"Why didn't you tell us anything?" Arav asked him with teary eyes .

"I wanted to catch culprit so I didn't disclose it" Sanskar said while palming his face.

"But as far as I know Siya also loved him so much then how could she do that?" Arav asked him confusingly not able to believe what Sanskar told.

"Even Siya was also with Jay on that day and even I talked with Jay through Siya's phone" Arav said further giving additional details to Sanskar.

"What did you do Sanskar?" Sanskar said himself while rubbing his fingers on his forehead.

"What happened Sanskar? What you did?Arav asked listening his words.

"I misunderstood Jay's words as he was saying further but couldn't.... I held Siya was responsible for Jay's condition" Sanskar said and sat with thud on near by bench in parking lot.

"I failed to understand them Arav. I am feeling guilty now for misunderstanding Siya as I couldn't become good friend to her as well as Jay" Sanskar said while bending his head in shame.

"Don't say like that Sanskar. You are best friend of Jay and best brother of Siya" Arav said making Sanskar feel more guilty. Sanskar looked at him with jerk ..

"Yes Sanskar, Siya never told you but she always used to tell us that you are like brother to her" Arav said while keeping his hand in his shoulder.
Both were sitting there.

"Sanskar did you get who did that?" Arav asked seeing silent Sanskar.

"No, I thought Siya must be did something so I was searching her like a fool without knowing the truth" Sanskar said with sad tone feeling guilty.

Arav kept his hand on his hands and Sanskar looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we will get his culprit and punish them surely" Arav said while giving assurance to Sanskar.

"I won't leave anyone Arav who was the reason behind that. They will see hell by Sanskar Maheswari" Sanskar said with gritted teeth while getting up from his seat.

"Do you need any help, I will be there for you" Arav said with small smile.

"Thank you" Sanskar said with sad smile.
Both talked for sometime.

"You came to London after so many days, why don't you come home?" Arav asked him.

"I will come some other time Arav. I have very important work now" Sanskar told him but Arav didn't listen to him, he forcefully took with him to his house.

Karma office

Sara was looking at time for lunch break by now and then as she badly wanted to talk with Ragini.

It's strikes at 1 pm, Sara immediately got up from her seat and rushed towards Ragini's cabin and barged into Ragini's cabin making Ragini startled.

"What the he....."She stopped seeing Sara and got surprised by seeing Sara who was panting little because of fast walk.

"Sara" Ragini asked and got up from her chair seeing her panting as she literally came there running.

"Sara come inside first and sit" Ragini said.

Sara moved inside slowly and sat on couch. Ragini gave her glass of water to drink and Sara gulped water in one go and kept it on table. Ragini also sat beside her.

"Now tell me, why you came by running? What's the matter" Ragini asked while looking at Sara's face.

Sara took deep breathe and told her about marriage proposal and looked at Ragini for her answer.
Ragini smiled listening her.

Ragini looked at her "Now tell me your opinion then I will tell you" Ragini asked her.

"I don't know what to do" Sara said nervously while bending her head down.

"First tell me, do you ready to marry Sanskar bhai?" Ragini asked her while making Sara look at her face.

Sara didn't know what to tell as she herself didn't know that she was ready or not so she kept quite.

"I got it that you are in confusion then next question, do you ready for marriage?" Ragini asked softly.
Sara looked at her immediately listening her.

"Sara I know, if you are thinking about Bhai then I will give you 100 cent sure, he is the best for you and also you are best for him. He is not what she shows himself. He is lovely person and loves his family and take care of everyone and can do anything for them whom he loves then think can't he do anything for his life partner? I am not saying you to accept him because he is my family but I saw him since birth" Ragini said looking at Sara's face who was looking at Ragini.

"Ok do you trust me right?"Ragini asked Sara.

"More than myself" Sara said with smile on which Ragini smiled brightly.

"Then say yes for marriage. I know it's difficult for you to accept suddenly but trust me it will be the best decision of your life" Ragini tried to make her understand. Even she didn't want to force her for this relation as she wanted Sara to accept her whole heartedly without anyone's pressure.

Sara thought for sometime and looked at Ragini who was looking at her with hopeful eyes "Ok, I will say for this relation" Sara said with smile while holding her hands.

"Really?" Ragini asked in disbelief.

"Yes" Sara said with smile.

"You are taking this decesion in haste right?"Ragini asked her again to confirm.

"No, I am ready for this marriage. I don't know about Sanskar sir but I believe you all that you always wish me for the best" Sara said with pleasant smile.

Ragini hugged her in happiness and Sara also hugged her back..

"I am happy for you" Ragini said while breaking the hug.

"Did you see Sanskar Bhai and talked with him?" Ragini asked after a while thinking on which Sara nodded her head in no nervously.

"What you didn't see him yet?"Ragini asked her in little shock with wide eyes.

Sara nodded her head in no while biting her inner cheeks in shy.
Ragini saw her shy face and smiled.

"Ok, do you want to talk with him?" Ragini asked her.
Sara looked at her and held her hands in her hands.

"I trust you Ragini. You always wish best for me so need ask further. I am ready for marriage but...." She was going to say further but stopped. She didn't want it to be grand marriage as couldn't ask them directly because they were rich people and they were doing their only son's marriage and also he was famous personality in society.

"But what Sara?" Ragini asked her seeing her face.

"Nothing" Sara said while trying to divert the topic but Ragini asked her again.

"I want a simple marriage" Sara said in nervousness.

"Even Bhai also wants simple marriage" Ragini said with smile and chuckled seeing Sara's facial reaction. Sara looked at her and smiled at her.

Both talked for while having lunch and left to their respective work.

Sara told her to talk with Shanti Maa about this as well as Maheswaris to inform her decision.
Ragini agreed with happily.

London

Sanskar called his PA Atul.

"Atul book ticket to Kolkata today only" Sanskar told him.

"Sir, you told that you want to stay here till Thursday" Atul replied from other side

"Do what I said Atul" Sanskar said in his bossy tone.

"Ok sir" Atul got scare listening his cold tone.

Sanskar called someone and talked something with them and cut the call then called Arav to tell something.

Kolkata

At evening

After dropping Sara, Ragini came to Maheswari Mansion.
She entered inside and looked for anyone.

"Maasi" Aashi squealed in joy seeing her and ran towards her by getting down from dining table.

"Aashi baby" Ragini smiled brightly seeing her and hugged her tightly while kneeling down.

Ragini picked her up in her arms and moved towards dining table where everyone was having evening snacks.

"Aree Ragini beta, you came alone. Where is Karan?" Ap asked her while coming from kitchen with tea tray.

"No Maa, Bhai has some work so I came alone and I want to tell you something that's why I came directly from office" Ragini said while making Aashi sit on dining table.

"Ragini beta How is Yash and Radha Bhabhi?" DP asked her with smile.

"They are fine Papa" Ragini replied with smile while sitting beside Pari on chair.

"Maa, Suju Mom..."Ragini called them on which both looked at her.

Ragini took short breathe and looked at them "Sara agreed to marry Bhai" Ragini said making everyone jump in happiness and joy.

"Really? You are saying true?" Sujata was the one who asked first as she couldn't able to believe what she heard.

"Yes Mom, but she just wants simple marriage" Ragini said with smile.

"We don't have problem in that, only matter, our son is marrying that's enough for us" Sujata said with in full enthusiasm.

"Jiji, we need to prepare and shopping for marriage" Sujata said getting from her seat in excitement.

"Sujata, still time is there to prepare, first you calm down" Ap said making her sit again while chuckling.
All chuckled seeing her.

"We are happy beta. Ram inform our family pandit ji to come home tomorrow" DP said while turning towards Ram.

"Ji Bhaisa" Ram said in agreeing.

"Maa, first we have to talk with orphanage care taker about this" Ragini informed them about what Sara told in office.

"Yes, we forgot that in happiness. We will go and inform them about this" AP said while looking towards DP on who nodded his head in yes.

"Jiji, I will inform Sanskar and ask him about when he is coming?" Sujata said and ran towards her room to call Sanskar.
All laughed seeing out by seeing her excitement.
After talking for sometime Ragini left to her home.

London

Sanskar was packing his things in bag to get ready to leave for India.

His mobile started to ring and he looked at caller ID it was from Sujata.
He received the call with small smile.

"Hello Sanskar" Sujata called loudly from that side.

"Mom slowly, you will make me deaf by your shout" Sanskar said with frown.

"Achha leave all that, when you are coming back?" She asked him in eager.

"Mom, what happened?" Sanskar asked her in confusion as he already told them that he would be coming back on Thursday and also he could feel something different in her voice like eagerness and excitement.

"Nothing, you tell me when you are coming? I need to say you something" Sujata said ignoring his questions.

"Now say what you want to tell me" Sanskar asked her again.

"Not now, after coming India. Now tell me when you are coming back?" Sujata asked him without giving chance to him speak anything.

"Tomorrow morning, I will be there" Sanskar said after taking deep breathe.

"Ok" saying this she cut the call before Sanskar say something anything..

Sanskar stared at mobile screen for a sometime and he signed by seeing his crazy mother.
He packed all his things and left to airport.

Jan 17 2023
Kolkata

Sanskar landed at Kolkata airport and came out from airport where his car was waiting for him to pick up.

Sanskar sat in car and car moved towards Maheswari Mansion. He reached home within 40 minutes and entered inside. He saw Pandit ji was sitting on one sofa and all other family elders were sitting opposite to him. Sanskar got confused by seeing Pandit ji but he silently moved towards stairs. Sujata saw him coming inside.

"Sanskar" Sujata called him with bright smile and got up from from sofa and moved towards him.
Sanskar stopped and looked towards them.

"Sanskar, when you came?" Sujata asked concernly while standing infront of him.

"Now only, I will get fresh up and come" Sanskar said with light smile while glancing at all.

"Ok come soon, we all are waiting for you" Sujata said with smile while caressing his one cheek.

Sanskar got confused why they all were waiting for him but nodded his head in yes and moved towards his room.

After getting fresh up Sanskar came down. DP told him to sit beside him and Sanskar followed his words silently but he was still in confusion about home environment.

"Pandit ji, he is the groom who is going to marry" DP said making Sanskar shocked. He looked at his mothers with jerk and shocked face.

"DP ji, if you give me both of them Kundali then I will check and tell about their matching" Pandit told them.

Sujata looked at AP not getting what to tell about this. As they knew Sara's Kundali not known to anyone so AP assured her through eyes.

"Pandit ji, actually we don't know about bride Kundali and it's not necessary for us, we believe in God as he made their pair in heaven. You see only auspicious day for marriage" Ap said with politely while smiling.

Pandit ji nodded his head and looked for auspicious day.

"After two days it is auspicious day. This day will come every 25 years only, you can do marriage on this day otherwise another day after month" pandit ji told them while lifting his head from his book after calculating.

"No, we will do after two days only" Sujata said quickly before anyone say.

"Sujata"....Ap glared her with fake anger.

"Sorry Jiji but month is too far so I told after two days is the best and it's also more auspicious" Sujata told with low tone.

"Ji, what you say?" Ap asked DP.

"Sanskar, what do you say?" DP asked Sanskar while turning towards him.

"As you all say Bade Papa" Sanskar said with light smile as he still in shock with sudden marriage. He told his mother's to select but didn't have little idea that they were too much fast than he expected. But he was happy because he trust his mother's choice, it would be best for him always.

"Pandit ji then we will prepare for wedding. It will be in our mansion only" DP said final decesion.

"Ji Durga ji, I will take leave now" Pandit ji said while getting up from his seat.

"Namaste" All folded their hands and Pandit ji left.

All the while Sanskar was sitting silently without word.

"Sanskar I told Ragini to send girl photo" Ap told Sanskar.

Sanskar looked at them and came near his two mothers and hugged tem wrapping his both hands around their neck "No need Maa, I know you have selected best for me. I will see on marriage day only" Sanskar said with smile while breaking the hug. For the first time after two and half year he was smiling from heart.

"Bhai at least don't you want to know who is the girl?" Laksha asked him teasingly.

Sanskar glared at him. Laksha sealed his mouth seeing his glare.

"Yes Sanskar, don't you wan to know about her?" Adarsh asked this time.

"Bhai you also....I said I want to know her on marriage day only" Sanskar said with frown.

"At least name Bhai?" Laksha said again with grin on his face as he wanted to tease Sanskar.

"Lucky" Sanskar was glaring him but it didn't affect him.

"If you want or not but I want to tell about my friend, her name is Sara" Laksha ran out while shouting her name before Sanskar do anything.

Sanskar stopped in his track listening her name as his heart started beat fast with race just listening her name. Sanskar felt some unknown connection by listening that name.

He came into sense listening Ram's voice.

"Sanskar" Ram called him.

"Yes Dad" Sanskar came towards him.

"Are you happy for this marriage?" Ram asked while caressing his one cheek. Sanskar eyes filled with tears listening him, more than his marriage matter he was feeling bad for all these years avoiding them. His eyes filled with tears seeing their love towards him. In these years he missed them so much in his guilt, now his heart earning for their love again.

"Yes Dad" Sanskar barely whispered.

Ram saw his tears and got panic seeing his tears.

"Sanskar what happens?Ram asked wiping his tears. Sanskar held his hand which was on his cheek.

"Nothing papa, just missed you" Sanskar hugged him tightly and wrapped his both hands around his shoulder and closed his eyes to control his tears. Ram also hugged him back and started to rub his back. After so many days he was feeling his father's embrace and love.

All saw them and smiled seeing father son. Sujata smiled in tears by seeing her son coming back to his original form.

Sanskar broke the hug and wiped his corner of eye.

"I am getting for office, I will go" Saying this he ran out from there to escape from this awkward situation. If he stayed for there one minute, his brothers would tease him surely.

He came out from door and sat in car and Alex was in passenger seat.

Sanskar reached office and got down from the car and he moved inside followed by Alex.

He got in the lift and Alex was going to press 20 floor but Sanskar told him to stop at 18 th floor.

Lift door opened at 18 th floor.

"Sir 18 th floor" Alex called him. Sanskar looked at door opening and came out from the lift.

He knew his mother's selected this Sara only. His heart was urging to see her once but his mind was not ready to see her.

He was battling with himself to see or not. He moved towards working cabins in the name of inspection.

He was moving with slow steps while checking every table. All got surprised as well as shock but they dipped their head in system seeing him as they feared of him. Sanskar came near one working table which was empty. He looked for name plate which was written as Sara.

Sanskar called floor Receptionist.

"Why she didn't come now?" Sanskar asked receptionist in his authorative voice.

"Sir, She took leave today" She informed him.

Sanskar got disappointed listening her but didn't show out. He nodded his head and moved towards lift.

Sunshine orphanage

Ap called her yesterday night to stay at orphanage today as they were coming to talk with Shanti Maa.
Sara called Ragini to take leave and she granted happily.

Sara was waiting for them as she already informed Shanti Maa about them. She also got happy for her.

Maheswaries reached orphanage with Shagun except Sanskar.

They talked with Shanti Maa about marriage.

"I am very happy for her. She is going to be daughter in law of such big family which she always wanted from childhood" Shanti Maa said while looking at Sara with smile.

All smiled listening her. Sara was standing while bending her head down.

"We are lucky to get a daughter like her" Sujata said with a smile.

"Aunty if you give permission shall I take her to my home till marriage" Ragini asked making all surprised.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Yes I need to do shopping and all so I am taking her to my home as I am elder sister so I have that right" She said while looking at Adarsh and Laksha's face who was looking at her with wide eyes.

"Sure beta, you can take her with you" Shanti Maa told her.

Ragini and all got happy. Sara gave bright smile to her.

After talking all, Sara packed her all things and came out from the orphanage. Her eyes filled with tears by seeing orphanage. All children started to cry seeing her going out from this orphanage.

Sara kneeled down infront of children and hugged them tightly while crying.

"Didi, you won't come here again" one boy asked her.

"No Chintu, I will come to see you all every week" She said while wiping his tears.

"Pinky promise?" Chintu asked her with hoping eyes.

"Yes Pinky promise" Sara said while laughing little by seeing their happy face.

After sometime by convincing them, she left with Ragini to her home.
