Hi

OS request

So it all starts with Laksh changed behaviour toward Ragini it is the night after SwaSan engagement...

Ragini comes into the room with Rasgulle as Laksh loves them at most.

Laksh was reading the VISA application form, when Ragini enters the room hiding the rasgulle behind her back.

Laksh was looking at her suspiciously...
Ragini didn't give him a proper look, she just sat on the bed with a cute smile. She was looking here and there 😊 which irritates him a lot.

Laksh looked at her, "Ragini what is it, why are you behaving so weird?"

Ragini smiles more, "close your eyes Laksh."

Laksh shook his head, "I don't want."

Ragini pouts, "you never do anything, when I ask you to do!"

Laksh saw her pout, which made him melt down. He took her hand, "Acha baba yeh loh {ok fine}." He closed his eyes on her request.

Ragini was still blushing as he was holding her hand, but with the other hand she forwarded the small bowl.

"Laksh ji now open your eyes."

Laksh took a deep breath and opens his eyes to see the bowl with Rasgulle.

Laksh smiles, his mouth become watery, "Rasgulle...?"

Ragini nods, "Haan you love them na. I hide them for you. Do you know Adarsh Bhaiya and Sanskaar both were eyeing on them, but I know how much you love them so I save them for you. Here eat!"

Laksh shook his head, "hmm no, I don't want."

Ragini smile faded, "what you don't want, but why?"

Laksh shrugs, "No I don't want! Hmm... Arrey baba wait, I was just joking. Aaaaa🤤." He opens his mouth.

Ragini was surprised, "Laksh ji do you want me to feed you?"

Laksh nods with open mouth.

Ragini took a Rasgulla in her hand amf feeds him.

Laksh was chewing it, "mhh." He hold her hand and eats it full, biting into Ragini's finger, "ouch!!" The bowl fall on the VISA documents.

Laksh widen his eyes, "shit I'm so sorry." He blows air on her finger.

Ragini smiles seeing his concern, "it's ok. You haven't done it initially."

Laksh smiles small. Ragini I won't go with you anywhere! No one can force me to accept you! I will try on my own.

Ragini took the papers, she tried to clean them with her shawl.

Laksh shook his head, "arrey Ragini leave it I will apply for new."

Ragini nods with a smile, that Laksh couldn't take off his eyes from her. She was looking deep in his eyes, he too was lost, but shared an eye lock.

A knock on the door broke their eye lock.

Ragini opens the door AP was standing there.

Laksh stood up, "Maa what happen?"

AP come in, "Laksh I wanted to inform you, that Ragini has signed on the property papers."

Laksh was shocked and confused, "what?"
Ragini bites on her tongue, "Haan woh, I forgot to tell you. Today I went to the lawyer and handover Papaji all the property back." She was scratching her head.

AP caresses her cheek, "Ragini you know there was no need for it."

Ragini shook her head, "No Maa it was needed, it all happens in bad and I want to forget it. I hope you too can forget it?"

AP smiles looking at her, "Haan Ragini I can forget it. Laksh take care of my daughter."

Ragini was smiling.

Laksh nods with a fake smile. Maa can forgetting, but I can't. I hate you, Ragini I will never forgive you!.

Ragini closed the door as soon as AP left, she comes back to Laksh., "Laksh ji woh honeymoon, where we will be go?"

He was lost in his thoughts.
I can't forgive you! You have humiliated my family! You wanted to blackface my mother, the one who gave you love and called you as her daughter!

Ragini touched his cheek, "Laksh?! Where are you lost?"

Laksh looked at her, "Nowhere, hmm let's sleep."

Ragini was playing nervously with her shawl, "hmm Laksh?! Woh..."

Laksh waited for her to complete the sentence, but nothing come from her, "what?!" He asked.

Ragini shook her head, "nothing!"

Laksh frowns, "Say maybe I can help."

Ragini turns her face with a blush. She lies on the bed next to him.

Laksh saw her blush and was continuously looking at her, his gaze was fixed on her she felt it and a shiver run down her spine.

Ragini didn't turned, "Laksh don't stare."

Laksh felt embarrassed 😳 he turns his face. "How you know?"

Ragini smiles, "I can sense you."

Laksh nods, "oh ok."

Laksh don't fall for her!

Ragini turns to him, she looks at him he too felt her gaze, he turns to her.

Ragini smiles., "see you turned to me."

Laksh nods with a smile. Oh man what is going on with me? I have to get ride off her, but how?

Ragini looks at him, "Kiya hua {what happen}?"

Laksh shook his head, "nothing, just sleep."

Ragini pouts, "I don't want."

Laksh confuses, "what why?"

Ragini looked into his eyes, "I'm not tired yet."

Laksh is confused, "Ragini please close your eyes and sleep."

Ragini pouts, "Laksh..."

Laksh looked at her, "Ragini what do you want?"

She comes close to him, her hand was resting on his chest. "Laksh may I sleep her?"

Laksh looks at her, "you want to sleep here on my chest?"

Ragini nods.

"okay, but don't talk!"

Ragini nods, she rested her head on his chest and fall asleep. Laksh was sleeping too, both shared the night.

On the next morning Laksh woke up and felt the emptiness, "Ragini?!"

He calls for her, but she didn't response. Laksh was a bit annoyed, but he went to the washroom and freshen up. He wore his clothes and comes down.

"Ragini?!" He shouts again.

All were sitting in the hall waiting for Laksh.

Laksh saw them, "Maa where is Ragini?"
AP looked at him with a red and teary eyes.

"Yehlo Laksh sign kar diya usne {here Laksh she sign on them}." She throw the paper on him.

Laksh was confused, "what is this Maa?"

AP fumes, "you don't know?"

Laksh shook his head, he opens the document and read it, "divorce? She signs on Divorce paper, but why?"

AP slapped him.

Laksh hold his cheek for a moment, "Maa!! I really don't know! Just look at them. I didn't sign them nor I have asked the lawyer to prepare some! I know you all have forgiven her, but I couldn't. But it doesn't mean, that I will divorce her. I'm not that stoned heartened I know she loves me dearly and she would do everything to gain my love. I want to make her suffer, but not divorce her absolutely not after."

All looked at him, "Maa I never asked her to give me divorce!"

AP cries, "but she has gone now and we don't know where she is."

Laksh was looking at everyone's face, "you all think, that I asked her right! But I didn't! I will find her and asked her why?"

Sanskaar stood up, "Laksh where will you look for her?"

Laksh thought for a moment, "I don't know maybe Baadi?"

Sans shook his head, "I already talked to Swara she isn't in Baadi."

Laksh made a fist holding the divorce papers in his hand, "woh phir se dhooka deh behti mujhe sirf mujhe hi nahi hum saab ko! {Again she betrayed me in fact all of us}!"

AP shook her head, "Laksh I don't know anything, I want my daughter back!"

Laksh nods and leaves the house. He searched for her everywhere, but there was no sign of her.

Laksh hits with his palm on the steering-wheel. "Ragini kahan ho tum {where are you?}"

Ragini was moving on in her life she knows how much she tries, Laksh would never accept her. She is/was ready to leave him. She signs on the divorce paper, she made them by herself.

Ragini didn't know much, but she knew where to go. She already talk to her aunt with her she is moving.

Ragini's aunt Urvashi, "Ragini are you sure you are doing the right thing?"

Ragini nods, "haan Mausi I'm sure, there is no place for me in his heart or their house. I want to leave everything behind me."

Laksh wasn't sure, where to look for her, but everywhere where he looked for her she wasn't there.

Laksh was restless, his nights went in drinking and his days in searching.

Maheshwari was celebrating the wedding of SwaSan, but the pain, which only Laksh could feel was ignored by everyone.

Laksh was in his room. He was looking at the picture of Ragini and him. He took the selfie before the engagement of SwaSan.

Where are you Ragini? I have been looking for you for months now, but I couldn't find you! I know I have done many mistakes, but I never asked you for divorce! All are angry on me! No one talks to me! Ragini I don't want to talk to anyone besides you! Come home!.

He was crying, missing her badly.

Haan Ragini I know you must be hating me, but I tried to accept you, Somehow deep in my heart I had accepted you long time ago, but I couldn't accept it! I was blind in anger!

He was drinking, it has become his habit, as he wants to forget the pain, he falls asleep.

On the other side there was a small house

Ragini was sitting on the chair with her small baby bump, she knew she is pregnant and she was about to tell him the night she left, but she was scared and she had made her mind to leave him. Now she was almost at the delivery point.

Ragini was talking to the unborn child, "Mera Baacha I'm here with you, you don't worry I will always be on your side."

Urvashi looked at her, "Ragini you here? You should be inside the house not here at the garden anything can happen."

Ragini took a deep breath, "aunty please the doctor said I need fresh air, it is nothing wrong in it."

Urvashi nods unwillingly, "Kaki saa called me she asked again if I know where you are."

Ragini's smile faded, "you didn't told Daadi, right?"

Urvashi caresses her cheek, "No I didn't told her. You don't worry you are save her."

Ragini stood up. She wants to go inside, when her pain starts, "Aaaahhh 😖."

Urvashi was scared, but also prepared, "Ragini! oh no it's your labour pain, let's go."

Ragini shouts in pain, "Maa!!!!"

AP couldn't sleep it was as if someone was calling her, she woke up in sweat.

"Laksh!!"

Laksh half drunken half sleeping state.

AP enters his room, "Laksh!!! Uff itni Sharaab {so much alcohol}."

She wakes him Laksh!
"Laksh! Laksh please get up!!!"

Laksh opens his eyes, "Maa you here?!"

AP nods, "Laksh I feel like Ragini is calling me! You found a trace?"

Laksh shook his head, "No Maa I didn't."

AP hold her hand near her heart, "I have a bad feeling, she is in pain."

Laksh looked at her. "Maa even I'm in pain, but you are all ignoring it as if I don't exist. If Ragini would be here she would console me she always did."

AP thought, it is right they all ignored him. She left the room with a lowered head.

Laksh took a shower 🚿 the water drops got mixing with his tears.

Laksh was looking dull, he got a call.
A miss-call from Urvashi aunt.

Laksh calls her back, but she didn't pick up.

Laksh got tensed. What if Ragini is with her and she lied to us?

Laksh sat in his car and drove to Urvashi, he drove the whole night, while trying to call her several times, but she never picks up.

Laksh finally reached her place. But there was no one, he asked the nearby neighbours, but no one was ready to talk to him.

Laksh tension increases, he senses her she was somewhere near.

A memory strickes his mind.

Ragini was looking at him, "you can sense me too!"

Laksh smiles, "haan Ragini I can sense you."

He was driving and driving till his heartbeat 💗 increases he was parking in front of a hospital.

He felt her, he sense her, she was here.
He asked at the reception, "Ragini?"

The nurse shook her head, "sorry, but we can't tell you, if you are not related to patient."

Laksh frowns, "I'm Lakshya Maheshwari and my wife is Ragini Gadodia Lakshya Maheshwari.

The nurse checked again, "You wife is in the OT."

Laksh scared, "what, why what happen to her?"

The nurse checked it, "there were some complications during her delivery."

Laksh blinks his eyes, he couldn't believe his ears, "delivery?! Where is she now and how is the baby?"

The nurse didn't say anything Urvashi comes there.

"Laksh beta, you here."

Laksh got angry. He hold her tight, "Where is she?!"

Urvashi struggles to release her hand, she her head and starts to cry.

Laksh felt a pain, "phir se dhooka {another betrayal}."

The doctor come, We need the blood of the father."

Laksh heard it, "what why?"

The doctor looked at him, are you the father? the child is weak and needs blood."

Laksh nods, "yes I'm the father."

They took Laksh inside the ward. Laksh told them about his alcohol consume.

The doctor asked him, "when you drunk last?"

Laksh looked at him, "last night!"

The doctor nods, "ok."

They took his blood.

"Woh Ragini?"

The doctor smiles, "she is unconscious, but fine. You don't worry."

Laksh releases a breath of relief.

He stayed their with her the whole night holding her hand, the tiny fingers one finger of him was equal to her hand.

Laksh was talking to her, "How should we call you?"

Ragini hears his voice, the voice she was seeking to hear for months, "Lak... Lakisha."

Laksh didn't looked at Ragini, "hmm Lakisha nice name."

Laksh stood up, "Ragini?" He went to her and hold her tight.

Ragini smiles, "Laksh, you here?"

Laksh nods, "Haan finally I found you, you both!"

Ragini smiles, "sorry."

Laksh nods, "yes you should be!"

He kisses her forehead and lied next to her.

A few days later Laksh come home with the new member of Maheshwari and an old member, Ragini.

AP hugs her tight, "Ragini!! Meri baachi... where have you been all this time. Didn't you thought about us once?"

Ragini was ashamed, she lowered her gaze.

*woahhan 😢👶*.

They all heard it.

All saw the baby in Laksh arm, "Lakisha." He said.

Laksh and Ragini went to their bedroom. Laksh hasn't changed anything. Ragini and he didn't talked much since they met again.

Ragini took Lakisha and feeds.

Laksh was admiring her then his anger raised, "you left me, giving me divorce. What were you thinking?!"

Ragini looked at him, I was thinking to give you a new life."

Laksh laughs sarcastically, "you wanted what? Did you ever thought about the new life you were carrying inside your womb?"

Ragini lowered her head, "I'm sorry."

Laksh shook his head, "a sorry won't heal the wounds you gave me."

Ragini fumes, "Mister even I suffered pain. Just look at her."

Laksh comes next to her, "That is not fair. Trump card for you."

Ragini smiles, "Haan she is."

Laksh made her lie on the bed, "you take rest."

Ragini nods.

He took Lakisha and places her carefully in the cradle. He had called Sanskaar to arranged it.

Laksh was looking at her, "Dhooka diya hai. Main maaf nahi karne wala tha, lehkin tumhe dehke mere ghussa chala gaya. {She betrayed me. I wasn't ready to forgive her, but looking at you my anger vanished}."

He kisses her small hands and gave her a smile.

He stood up and looked at the bed. Ragini was admiring him.

He comes to the bed, "aren't you sleeping yet?"

Ragini shook her head, Laksh I want to sleep here," pointing on Laksh chest.

Laksh lies next to her. He made her sleep on his chest. Holding her close till the rest of his life.
