Read the plot!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It was the next morning, the sun rays fall over the bed on their faces, it was Laksh, who woke up first.

His gaze fall on Ragini, the woman he has once liked as his friend, then started to use her. But he tried many times to explain her that he doesn't love her. Swara never let him, then why she had come in between them?

Damn it, what I have done? She asked for love and I took her... no. Why I did this? I never wanted to do this, she made me cry yesterday. Her each word pained me, it felt like millions of small knifes are creating scratches on my stonewall heart.

His thoughts were disturbed by Ragini, she was in a hugging position and opens her eyes to find herself in the embrace of them she loves. Ragini looked at, she saw his lost face, he wasn't holding her, but she was holding him close.

Ragini lowers her gaze, she felt like a burden on him. She moves and sat on the bed showing him her bare back.

Oh no what had happened I asked for just one moment, he gave it me. Yet he isn't happy, why would he? He never loved me. I have dragged myself in his life, but at least I could feel the love once. I'm not upset I'm happy and I full fulfil my promise.

Ragini looked at her back, she saw him looking lost into the room, he turned too and was back facing her, his eyes weren't moving neither his eyelids blinks, she just watched him through the mirror opposite to him.

Ragini closed her eyes, just to open them again. She was looking for something to cover herself. She found the shirt of the last night, she had got from Laksh, she wore it and vanished to the washroom.

Ragini was still holding the shirt of Laksh. I don't think he will miss it. I will put it in my back before he will get to know about it. Haan.

Ragini opens the door of the washroom, Laksh has changed his position, he was now sitting on the bed. His bare back was visible and the scratches Ragini has given him as well. He looked up and saw her, she hides the shirt and rushes to her bag. Without wasting the time she put the shirt in and come to him.

The trolley in one hand, Laksh was looking at her. Is she mad? Did she really think I would let her go now? I can't, not after the last night.

"Laksh?" She calls him and get him out of his trance. He looked at her emotionless.

Ragini saw his face expression, nothing. She still smiles, "I have promised you to leave the house in the next morning. I know what I have done is unforgivable, I still hope you might forgive me someday." She took off her nuptial chain and hold it in front of Laksh.

"I always thought not to take it off, but it was never mine, like you."

Those word were hurting, both.

Laksh stood up holding the bed sheet in hands, he wrapped it around his hips and glares at her with anger. The nuptial chain was in his hand now, he looked at it.

(Consider him as shirtless)

"Ragini if you think I would let you go away from here after the last night, then you are wrong. We might not in love, at least not the way you wish. But I have gone that far with you now I can't let you go. You will stay here." He took her hand and gave her the nuptial chain back.

Ragini shook her head, "No Laksh, that is not your fault. What had happened we..." she looked at him, "I mean I'm not hurt or upset about it. I will leave as I have promised you. Let me do this."

Laksh could t believe it, "you want to leave?" He said in anger, "fine go, but where do you want to go? Baadi, where no one loves! Or to your aunt place, who is here creating more problems than needed! Tell me where you will be staying?" Ragini was numb, she couldn't answer him. "You will stay here that is finale." He said leaving for the washroom to take a shower.

After awhile Laksh come out in full clothes, he was looking around the room. Damn it! Where the hell is she?

Laksh couldn't find the back and thought she might have left. He come down in anger and heard a taunt.

"Jiji this chori is good for nothing. I asked for water and look she spread it on me..." Sujata was complaining about Ragini.

"Chachi ji it was a mistake, I stumbled over my feet I'm sorry." Ragini had lowered her gaze and Sujata left to change her clothes.

Laksh slowly sat on his seat, the food was served by Pari and Ragini together. Her Malkin attire was gone, she was behaving like a normal woman, she used to be before.

It was a hectic day Laksh got a project as he wanted to distract himself, they were all talking about SwaSan wedding.

[Note: Kavitha left after knowing SwaSan love each other]

Laksh was sitting on his chair at his bedroom, Ragini come in, she had come with a tray.

"Laksh, here you can choose what you like, as I have no idea about you. You know I always thought to know you the best, but I was wrong and blind. Today because of me and my selfish behaviour your love is going to marry your brother. I know you can't neither will you forgive me for this created mess. But still I want to help you to forget, which is nearly impossible as she will stay here with us, like me." She lowers her gaze again not meeting him.

Laksh saw at her and then to the tray, it had one glass and 4 bottles. Orange juice, water, milk and alcohol. Ragini had turned away, she went to washroom and comes out wearing the shirt he had given her.

Laksh took the glass and filled it with water. He  switched on the desk lamp that she can sleep, what he didn't saw were the papers she had signed.

It was the next morning Ragini woke up as usually early, she stretches her arms and yawns. She saw him sleeping on the bed next to her. A smile forms on her face, since her truth was out he had kept the distance, but now he might change.

Ragini bend over, she was scared still she kisses his forehead, "good morning Laksh ji." It was a whisper and she left to change.

All were downstairs when Laksh come too, he could sleep longer as he was exhausted and no one tried to wake him.

All were staring at her, Ragini, she was holding the paper of the property in her hands. She had signed them and named everything back to DP.

AP stood up, "Ragini what kind of game are you now playing with us?"

Ragini handovers DP the property back, "nothing Maa."

AP shows her palm, "I'm not your mother. You won't call me Maa anymore."

Ragini nods, "okay aunty." Her voice was calm, but Laksh could feel the pain through her eyes.

A week has passed and Ragini was trying to find her place.

The family was avoiding her, no one wanted to forgive her neither did she asked for forgiveness. The only forgiveness she was seeking of was from Laksh.

They have decided to meet the Gadodias to complete the talks about SwaSan marriage.

[Note: No RagLak marriage]

Laksh was looking at Ragini, "are you jealous? What will you do now?" He has seen the tears in her eyes.

Ragini shook her head, "No Laksh, it's nothing like this. I was thinking, if just..." her words were broken by the call of the other's.

"Laksh the engagement is now!" Adarsh said and RagLak come to them.

They were again alone, "what happened, you again gonna ruin a wedding?" He was checking his coat to find his mobile phone.

"No Laksh, I'm not jealous or unhappy. I'm just wondering what would have happened if my unconditional love for you, would let me go just for a moment. Just think you would be married with Swara. Sanskaar's revenge never took place, as he found his Kavitha. Then today it would me sitting there on the couch being selected by a groom, maybe this time of my choice. Who knows? Then I would be a bride, wanted not forced."

Ragini left him standing there, he smiles looking at her.

The preparation were taking place MM was looking like a bride. Guest were arriving and the family was waiting. It was the Dance function.

Sanskaar looked at Laksh, "lucky I wanted to talk to you. If you don't mind would you give me 2 minuets?"

Laksh looked at him, "Haan say what is your problem?"

Sanskaar couldn't meet his gaze, "Laksh I'm... sorry but I don't trust her, she might creat a problem. Since this aunt has come back of Ragini bad things are happening."

Laksh made a fist, "enough. She isn't doing anything. Just look she has decorated the hall and is trying to find her place in this house. Don't blame her for something she hasn't done. If you have a prove I'm ready to see it, but don't accuse her with false allegations."

Sanskaar lowers his gaze, "Sorry!"

Laksh left from there, he was working on his smartphone, the project he had got from DP has been selected. Now Laksh has to represent his work in another country. He was excited and happy at the same time there was a fear what they might do with Ragini, if he leaves her alone.

Just then SwaRagini come down all were praising them, but Ragini was looking for the one.

Where is Laksh?

All pulled Swara to the stage, they had asked her to dance with Sanskaar, as the wedding couple.

Ragini was searching for Laksh only, she was serving the drinks and foods to everyone, when she was stopped.

"Ragini what are you doing? You are the owner not a servant." Her aunt Urvashi taunts her.

Ragini lowers her gaze, "Maasi please, I'm the younger daughter-in-law of this house, I'm fulfilling my duty. Please don't stop my way."

She left and Laksh smiles. I knew it Ragini isn't with her, she should leave and I hope Ragini's words will make it happen soon.

The lights went off and all were looking at the dance floor. SwaSan and PariSh were dancing, many were asking about RagLak, but Ragini was keeping herself busy with the hosting of the guests.

Laksh didn't mind it, he wasn't interested in dancing, but AP requested him, "Laksh many are asking. I don't want them to think there is a problem with you."

Laksh looked at her, "but there is a problem."

AP made a fist, "Laksh, then leave her."

Laksh shook his head, "you have the problem. They are asking for us only, because you have made her to say aunty to you. Instead of Maa." Laksh wird's were true, Ragini was changing back to her former self, but no one was giving her the feeling of acceptance.

Ragini was serving each and everyone, when a man come and asked her, "Wow I didn't thought maids could look so hot."

A tight slap on the cheek of the man, "I'm a woman not a piece of a showroom that you are glaring at me like this. Don't you dare to talk to me or any other woman again if you don't know the value to respect them. By the way I'm not a maid I'm the younger daughter-in-law of this house Mrs. Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari note it down and don't you dare to come in my way again."

There was the fire, she was a mix of the old and new Ragini. She knows how to behave and how to protect herself. The man left the venue without uttering another word.

Ragini shook her head in anger, she was murmuring things, but no one could hear her.

The evening ended like it started with a bang.

Days went RagLak didn't talked to each other, but both tried to understand the other one.

Ragini was supporting him in his work, she never interrupted or asked for time. She gave him the space to breath. Laksh didn't interfered in her life either, he gave her the freedom to choose the right things for herself.

There was a silent understanding between them unspoken words were kept in their hearts.

Weeks have passed the wedding come.

SwaSan wedding took place and the whole Mansion was filled even that guy was there again. Ragini fumes seeing him, but he didn't said anything neither did he behaved wrong. She gave him a chance.

The bride couple was sitting on the stage seats. PariSh were dancing for them, like Uttara. She had performed with her friends a dance sequence.

Ragini was smiling looking at them, Laksh come from the back, "Ragini?"

Ragini looked at him, "Laksh you wait here."

He was confused, as she had called him all of a sudden and now she left. The music was one and Ragini starts to dance and sing. First Laksh was stoned and confused, but then even he shakes his hips.

RagLak were showing maturity and grace, but then Ragini shook her head. She stopped and hold her temple. The moment she was to fall Laksh hold her on time, "Ragini!" He shouts and everyone come to her.

Laksh lifts her, "Someone should call a doctor." He said and carried her up to their bedroom.

The wedding took a sudden end and the doctor arrived with the news of Ragini's pregnancy.

Laksh couldn't believe it. Just one moment and all got changed. We don't know what the future brings, we never do what is written in our destiny how much responsibility can we take in our own hands? Ragini you are not alone, I'm there and I won't leave you.

Laksh was alone with Ragini, he had placed his hand on her belly, how much he wished to kiss it, but he didn't.

Ragini woke up, she had the feeling for long time, but she was scared of his reaction. Seeing his happy face makes her happy and relief.

"Laksh, if you want you can come closer?" She said and he looked at her.

He kisses his palm and placed it on her belly, "Baacha I will love you a lot. You have to get use of this voice. I'm your papa, Lakshya Maheshwari. He bend down he rested his hand on her belly over his hand he rested his cheek.

Ragini understood his love for the unborn life inside her. She didn't mind it, but there was a small hope. Someday you might love me too, please Laksh don't think I have done anything to you to gain a child forcefully. You hold me that night and sealed my lips. She immediately wipes the tears away and smiles hearing his talks to the child.

"Papa will stay here, someone else will do the presentation my Baacha needs me."

Ragini shook her head, "Laksh please. Don't do that, you have worked so hard on this project you can't give it to someone else. Please I can look after the child, I promise you nothing will happen to your Baacha."

Laksh didn't liked the fact to leave, but the time had come. He was happy he could postponed it for two weeks, so he had some time to spent with his unborn child.

Ragini daily slept in his shirt and Laksh fumes, "Ragini give me the shirt, I don't know what you have with it, but it is a matching shirt to my suit I need it. Give it me."

Ragini pouts, "Laksh I haven't washed it yet."

Laksh shook his head, "I will wash it there, just give it to me."

Ragini went to the washroom, she picked the shirt and gave it to him. Laksh had packed everything, he went to the washroom to take a shower. He comes out 👇 and bend down.

"Baacha Papa will return soon, you don't worry everyone will love you and care for you." He kisses his palm and then placed it on her belly.

Ragini looked at him. I told him many times he can kiss you Baacha, but that would mean he will kiss me and that is something he doesn't want. I'm sorry, because of me you are not getting the full love of your papa, but he does love you the most.

Laksh stood up, "Ragini you won't do anything if something happens you will call me immediately did you understand?"

Ragini nods, "Haan Laksh I know. Have a save flight and journey. Come soon!"

Laksh nods, he smiles looking at the belly and left.

After so long it was the first night both were separate from each other.

Laksh had reached the hotel, he checked the time and shook his head. I can't call her it's too late she must be sleeping. He took out the shirt and smell on it.

Previously

Ragini fumes in anger. It was late in the night and she couldn't sleep properly. She felt uncomfortable and suffocated not having him around or his fragrance. She had changed the pillows and was cuddling it, but couldn't replace him. She went to the washroom with a shirt of him, "chi it's washed, I don't like it."

She throws away and turns to open the door, she saw his recently worn shirt hanging on a hook. She smiles and took it, after wearing it she falls asleep in minutes.

Time was passing by Laksh had to stay abroad for two months, his project was successful and he had to stay longer for the contract dealing.

Laksh was happy, "finally in back." He said and all looked at him, he had reached and was smiling like a mad one.

Ragini was upstairs sleeping, since she reached the fifth month she feels more exhausted and sleepy. She was lying on the bed, wearing the shirt.

Laksh come in, he placed the bag carefully on the ground not to make a noise. He took off his shoes and come on the bed. He hugs her from the back and falls asleep next to her.

Ragini woke up and felt his arms around her belly, she smiles. Baacha look Papa is back. Ragini turns to see his face, she was desperately waiting for his return now he is back and all her burdens are gone. She cups his face and moves towards his lips, her thumbs were stroking them, but her lips were seeking for them. It is the moment he is sleeping I could steal it, but what if he finds out later. He will be very angry on me. No, I will wait.

She moves closer to him and rested her head on his chest, she closed her eyes and was feeling the paradise.

There was Laksh seeking for the love of the child on the other side there was Ragini seeking for the love of Laksh, both don't talk much to each other and if they do it's about the child only.

Ragini was in labour pain, Laksh took her to the hospital, she was in the 8th month. Laksh was tensed so was Ragini, "Laksh don't worry," she was breathing heavily, "nothing will happen to your Baacha. It will come soon." She was taking into the Operation Theater.

No one was there, Laksh doesn't wanted it. As their concern were fake.

The delivery was taking a lot of time, Laksh was tensed. He was looking at the watch. 6 hours this is not good. How much pain can she bear?

The doctor come out, Laksh releases a smile, "Mr. Maheshwari I'm sorry we are doing our best..."

Laksh was numb....

All has changed in a fraction of seconds, there was a sound of a cry, the voice was loud, but painful, he wished to hold it after seeing it, but he can't it's NOT his.

Laksh was looking at her, she couldn't meet his gaze, "Ragini?" He hold her hand, but she removes his and felt an emptiness which can't be filled again.

Laksh didn't said much, "He was a death birth."

Ragini looked at him, "he?" Her eyes moisturised and the tears were rolling down her cheek, her lips were shaking her heart was paining.

Laksh nods, "yes, it was a boy. Please take rest. You will be discharged tomorrow. I have to..." tears were rolling down his cheeks. "Bury him."
(Sorry if I'm wrong, but I once's heard that children got buried under the earth not burnt like the adults)

Ragini turns her face away, crying her heart out, while Laksh left to do the last rite of their child.

RagLak were both home, there was a silence, they had turned completely muted. Ragini has closed herself from the outer world, whereas Laksh was trying to get through to her.

Her unexpected lost has broken her, how much she tried to have something of her own, she could give unconditional love to it, but destiny hasn't written love for her permanently, she should feel it only for moments.

The family members haven't changed their view on Ragini was still the same, they haven't forgotten her deeds nor forgiven her.

"She is paying for her wrong deeds Laksh, I never understood why you moved on with her, when you never loved her. Leave her nothing is ruined yet." It was his mother, who told him this.

Laksh shook his head, "if you would have given her the needed support she wouldn't have closed herself in the room. And about which deeds are you talking, the child was ours for deeds too. Don't forget I'm equal in this matter. And I'm not weak to leave her in this moment did you understand." He left in anger.

Ragini heard it, "Laksh your mother is right. It died because of my deeds, you just took your revenge, but I have started it. I'm the culprit not you, I'm responsible for the death of our child. Your Baacha." She was leaving the room.

"Ragini you better find the way back here or else... where are you going?" He asked her.

"Hospital to remove the thread of the stitches," she was lost.

Laksh felt bad, she didn't found it important to tell him earlier or to ask him to accompany/ support her, "just come back." He said not looking into her face.

Ragini left in the hospital a nurse was looking after her, "Ma'am you are alone where is your husband?"

Ragini didn't liked the way the nurse was asking for Laksh, "why do you want to trap him?"

The nurse fumes, "Excuse me Ma'am, but you are mistaken it. I just wanted to talk to him, after what I heard I wanted to praise him."

The nurse left in anger and Ragini was numb, she couldn't understand it and waited for the doctor. Her stitches were removed.

"Doctor I would like to ask you something, may I?" Ragini was waiting for the reply. The doctor nods.

"What had happened, why it was a death birth?" Ragini asked and the doctor shook her head, "No Mrs. Maheshwari, it wasn't a death birth. Actually I come out of the OT to inform your husband..."

At the hospital on Ragini's delivery day

The doctor shook him, "Mr. Maheshwari I'm sorry but we are doing our best, but your wife lost the consciousness. You have to decide between your..."

"Ragini save my Wife there is no question on this topic. Just save her."
He broke down....

My child will pay for my deeds....

It took him just a moment to decided.

"Ma'am you Husband told to save you that is all we did." The doctor left and Ragini returned home.

She saw him sitting on the ground of the terrace, he was looking at the sunset, waiting for the night. There was no difference in his life.

The light turned into darkness, the smile turned into a cry and the dreams turned into nightmares.

His knees were angled and he had hugged them, resting his head on them.

Ragini places her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her, she bend down and sat next to him, his gaze followed each of her moves.

Laksh waited for long, he had lied and he knows she would find it out, "Sorry."

Ragini nods, "why? Just tell me why? You loved it."

Laksh smiles, "Haan I still love him, but I couldn't deny one fact."

Ragini looked deep into his eyes, they had a painful eye lock.

"What?" Her voice was broken, both were crying.

"Baacha will comeback but not my Ragini, who loves me the most. I might not be the husband you have wished for, but I always wished to have a wife like you. Who would support me and encourage me. Who will walk hand in hand with me, being my pillar. I failed and let our child die. But Ragini I could never let you go, I can't live without you anymore. I'm habitual to you, if I would have lost you then I would never been able to express my feelings for you, neither I could have loved the child of us, because my Baacha is in front of me."

Both cried in the arms of the other one....

The two were lying on the bed hugging each other.

"Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa!"

"Papa Papa Papa Papa Papa!"

RagLak open their eyes to see their love, "what? Can't you let Papa sleep a little bit with your mama?"

"No!!!!!!!"

Ragini looked around the room, "who wants to kiss me?"

"Me!!!!!!!"

*jumping jumping jumping*

Someone fall over Ragini, someone fall over Laksh, both got a kiss and both returned the kiss.

"Lakisha go Papa is coming in two minutes then we will play tea party."

"Yes!" Lakisha said and left.

Ragini was cuddling with, "Raksh you always do this, jealousy isn't good for health. Now go otherwise I won't sent your mother to wash you."

Raksh shows him his tongue, then he licks Ragini's cheek and left.

"Yuck!" Ragini pouts, but Laksh did the same on her other cheek. She hits him and he left.

Time has passed five years of their marriage life and two years of their parental life.

Ragini and Laksh never tried it again, both were scared to face a loss again, they had decided for an adoption and found a small orphanage.

Laksh saw the two years old girl and decided to adopt her, they got to know that she has a blood related brother. As their parents died in a car accident the family members have given them away. As soon as they got to know they even adopted the little boy, who was just a baby that time.

Raksh antics are completely same like Laksh, he is as mischief and naughty as Laksh. He is his role model.

Lakisha is the heart of Laksh, she gave him his Ragini back. Being a mother has changed her life completely. She was living again.

Both had left MM and broken the relationship with them as well as with Gadodia family.

The man, who once misbehaved with Ragini was and is a friend of Laksh, who has helped them to establish themselves.

A happy family was living in their happy life, forgetting the past sorrows, moving on with new created happiness.

"Laksh!"

Laksh was looking at her, "Haan Ragini, what happen?"

Ragini lowers her gaze, "Baacha?!"

Laksh looked at her, "Baacha!" He repeats and she nods.

Both were happy, the pregnancy went well and in the last they have completed their family with Prem.

The end....
