Guys,

This is an emotional one, don't expect romance here and please be with me.
So let's begin.

********

"Tomorrow's game will be my last game. I am resigning from the post of captain and also retiring from the game" Laksh announced in the press conference.

Everyone present there were utter shocked. His passion for the game is known to everyone, and to retire at the age of 27, that too when he is in the form, is unbelievable. All were all looking at him as if he is an alien. Who would not?

The reporters bombarded him with questions.

Laksh: Guys, I know you have so many questions, but I am not going to answer any of them today. I will, tomorrow.

He smiled at them all and left the place.

Everyone who heard this was shocked and sad. All had only one question in their mind. What led him to this decision??

MM:

Uttara watched Laksh's press conference on TV. She rushed to the hall and called everyone excitedly.

Everyone other than Ap came there.

Suj: Uttara what happened that you are shouting at the top of your voice?

Men: Mom you won't believe it, I am soooooooooooo happy.

She turned Pari around.

Adarsh: (Irritated) Will you please say?

Utt: (happily) Laksh Bhaiya is retiring tomorrow.

"WHAT??" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Utt: Yeah, he announced in the press conference.

They were all very happy, happy that the tension they were holding till now just left them.

Dp: Now I want him to come back home.

Utt: With your daughter in law.

Dp, who was happy till then appeared disturbed. He was upset, angry and fumed.

Ap: (Coming in, angrily) Don't you dare to speak of that girl in the house.

San: But Badi Ma,

Ap: Don't forget Sanskar, Laksh is in this state just because of her.

Adarsh laughed sarcastically.

Ad: So finally, you agreed it Ma, that she is responsible for his state?? But do you know what it means?

Suj: Adarsh doesn't forget that he left this house because of that girl.

Swa: No Mom, Laksh didn't leave the house because of Ragini.

Part: To the truth be told, your other sons, daughter and daughters-in-law are staying here because of her. If not for her, I would not have stayed in this house after what you all did to her.

The youngsters looked angrily at the elders. It is not that they don't respect their elders. They do, but they all love Ragini as their sister and they couldn't accept the insult she faced.

San: But don't expect Laksh to take it lightly, if ever he comes to know it, forgets his coming back 'he will never forgive you all.

Ap and Suji fumed and went from there.

Ad: Papa what happened to you, can't you at least,

Before he could complete the sentence, Dp too left the hall.

Ad: Papa,

Pari: Leave it Adarsh Ji, but what happened that Laksh changed his decision?

Uth: (excitedly) Guys, do you think that, that Ragini got a promotion?

Swa: Promotion? But she has only 18 months experience right, then how can she be promoted, and we are talking about Laksh, right?

Other four clapped their hand on their head.

San: (sighs) Meri Ma, she was not talking about her job. She was asking if she is promoted as the first wife from the second wife.

"But Bhaiya, I am his second wife na" Ragini stated when Adarsh was angry on Laksh for not taking her for her friend's marriage.

It was one month after Raglak's marriage; Ragini, Parish, Swasan and Uthara were sitting and talking and Uthara causally asked Ragini about her friend's wedding.

All expect Swara: WHAT?

Swara was still digesting what she said.

Ragini laughs.

Swa: Ragini you are laughing? Are you saying that Lakah is cheating on you?

"Shut up Swara," the five said in unison.

San: But Ragini what are you saying?

Rag: I am saying that for your brother, his game is his first wife. He loves it as his soul mate, wife, take cares as his child and respects as his parent.

She smiles and others sigh.

San: So what about siblings?

Rag: What?

San: Na, you said about wife, parents, kids, and then siblings?

Rag: Sanskar!!!

Uth: I hope that you get promoted soon.

Rag: I don't want to.

"But we want," the five said in unison.

FB end
********

They smiled remembering that incident.

Ad: I just hope you are saying truth Uthara.

Part: Oh hello, stop predictions, call her.

Ad: Yeah.

He calls her.

Ragini was sitting in front of the TV. She had watched his press conference and was thinking about it. Whatever happened appeared to be so unreal even in dreams, she is not able to believe all these. She was staring at the TV, and her phone rang.

Rag: Oops!

She sighed seeing it is Adarsh's,

Rag: Bhaiya, that I, I am sorry that I didn't call,

Ad: Stop your explanation and tell us what happened.

Rag: (excitedly) I got promoted.

They all screamed in happiness. Ragini felt like her eardrums broke.

Rag: Ouch!!

Utt: Oops, sorry Bhabhi, (excitedly) but, but Bhabhi, are you, are you saying the truth?

Rag: Yes.

She told them everything. All the six of them became emotional by the time she finished talking, none were in a position to speak.

After a few seconds:

Ad: I must really thank Neil.

Other four agreed.

They were so happy for their sister, they always wanted this.

Swa: So Ragini, when are you coming back home?

Ragini's face fell.

Others glared Swara.

Swa: I am sorry Ragini.

Ragini sighs.

Rag: Laksh is really angry, I don't know,

San: Of course he would be.

Pari: You calmed us, but Laksh,

Rag: I know bhabhi, but, anyway how is Ma, Papa and all

They sigh, she understood, she became upset again.

Rag: Ok then, guys, take care, I will call you later.

She cuts the call and looked at a pic, it was a pic of the six of them. She caressed it. She was always alone from childhood, ever thought her parents loved and cared for her very much but she still carved for a sibling. After her marriage, she got everyone, an elder brother, elder sister, younger brother and younger sister. She smiled at the pic.

She looked at another pic, it was of Raglak with Dp, Ap, RP, suji, Shekar and Janki, taken on raglak's engagement.

She had tears in her eyes remembering all those happy moments. Now all elders, including her dad is angry on her. She smiled sadly.

"Will you guys forgive me at least now??". She asked with tears in her eyes.

*******

Done with the first part. Sorry that there was so raglak.

How do you find it? Confusing??

Why is Laksh resigning??

Why is his family happy about it??

Why are elders angry on Ragini??

Why are youngsters angry with elders??

Why raglak left MM??

So many questions right, you will get answers in upcoming parts.

Thanks for reading.
