The story starts with the slap of Swara on Ragini's cheek.

"Swara what I have done?". Ragini was confused holding her cheek in pain. "Why you raised your hand on me?".

Swara fumes in anger. "Why? Are you really asking me why? You have created this mess, after your truth is out you haven't changed and you are still trying to destroy my life, with these fake honeymoon tickets of Laksh and me!". She shows her the paper, but Ragini shook her head. "No Swara, I...!".

"Bas {Enough}!". They all looked at AP, who had always supported Ragini, but not this time. "Ragini I never thought you would fall so low! How could you do this?". Ragini frighten the shouts were scaring her. "Maa!". She shows her palm. "Don't you dare to call me Maa! There is no relation between us!".

Ragini was devastated, the only support of her has made her alone again. "Nahi Maa {No Mom} don't say like this, I swear I haven't done anything!". She was pleading in front of everyone, but no one was ready to believe her. With a broken heart she left MM at the door entrance she rams with her shoulder on Laksh. He turns at her, but could only see her running away. But Ragini was crying bitterly.

I haven't done anything this time I'm innocent why don't they trust me? I come back to help Laksh to gain Swara's love I have no intentions to hurt them again. I want to make amends. She was running into the night far away from MM.

All family members were at MM they have informed them that Ragini has tried to ruin the marriage of SwaSan again with the fake honeymoon papers.

Laksh was fuming in anger he made a fist.
So Ragini you haven't changed I knew it, there was never an attempt of your to help me. You always were trying to defame Swara and make her thrown out of the house. Now see what destiny has done to you. You got thrown out and no one cares for you.

Laksh went up to his bedroom and lies on the bed not thinking of Ragini, as for him she is death. Ragini was roaming around on herself unknown that she is followed by someone.

It was late in the night and she had lost her track. Where I am?. She was looking around and saw a crossing, she moves forward and waited for a moment. Soon the cars were gone and she made her move, but then someone come from the back with a cloth filled with chloroform. The kidnapper places it on her mouth and being weak she couldn't fight back and falls unconscious.

The next morning

At MM all were ready for the breakfast and Laksh come down sitting on his regular place. "Laksh where is SHE?". Laksh looks at his mother. "Who?". AP glares at him. "Don't force me to take HER name!". Laksh nods. "Don't know where she is, she hasn't returned yet! Must be at Baadi, but I doubt that they would keep HER!". They all finished their food and somewhere far away a woman was lying unconscious on the cold ground of a hideout.

She was shivering and just a small ray of light shined on her. She was scared and frighten to hell. Laksh ji... please find me. She was crying alone on the ground, she just woke up and found herself caged and tied up with a rope on her legs and feet's.

The door to the cage opens and someone come in wearing a mask. "Oh beautiful...". The voice was male. He was smirking under the mask. "Good morning!". Ragini scared seeing him coming closer. "No!". She shook her head. "Please leave me!". She was begging.

"Please leave me! Please. I want to go home!".

The man come near her holding her face between his hand. "You will go home as soon as your family will pay the amount or else!". He took out a knife and placed it under her chin. "I will kill you!". He made himself clear and Ragini nods, but she knows it better no one would pay for her. "You were wearing heavy clothes and the jewellery was also real. Tell me your name!".

She shakes in fear and starts to stammer. "M...!". Her lips were shaking. "My name is Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari!". The kidnapper looked at his mobile phone and checked the family. "Rich Family!". He laughs and left from there and a scared Ragini was let alone again. They won't pay for me... 😭.

The Kidnapper wasn't alone, they were a group of 5. "I need a number this girl didn't had a mobile phone with her!". His partner nods and left from there.

At the office

Laksh was working on his files, when he received a call from an unknown ID. Who is this.... Ragini?!. His anger raised and blood starts to boil in his veins. He declines the call and switched off his mobile phone, if it is important they will call on his office number.

But nothing like that happened and Laksh reaches home with the other's. They all had their dinner and Laksh was in his room. He was doing some workout.

Just then his mobile phone rung as he had switched it on after reaching home. He looked at the screen and saw 20 miscalls he picked up the phone. "Hello Ragini I know it is you, what happen did you lost your track? Ruining the life's of other's?".

*Hahahaha*. A devilish laugh was to hear. "I'm not your wife Ragini, but she didn't lied you hate her and won't pay for her. I have been trying to call you since morning now listen to me. I have your wife! I will release her if you pay the amount xx.xxxx.xxx rps".

Laksh laughs. *Hahaha*. "Oh Wow I have to admit. Wow she planned her own kidnap. Wow!". He claps on his hands. "You know whatever she paid you for the act and fake call I will pay you the double. Keep her away from me!". He cuts the call and went to take a shower.

The kidnapper went to Ragini. "He really hates you a lot, but don't worry I will find a way to get the money from them!". He caresses her cheek and she irks and hits his hand away. "Don't touch me!". She shouts at him and he left the cage.

The goons were talking about their next step, how to get the money from the Maheshwari's.

It was the third day and no one saw Ragini or hear of her. "Laksh have you asked at Baadi?". Laksh shook his head. "She is fine, I got a joking call of her...". He shook his head in disbelief. How low will you fall Ragini?.

Laksh was going to a meeting. When a white van stopped in front of him.

They abducted him and dragged him into the van. "Call the boss we have him!". The driver of the van made the call as the other two were holding Laksh tight. "Leave me! Who are you?". They smirked at him. "You are the unlucky man of that unfortunate woman Ragini. We are her kidnappers!". They were all wearing masked and Laksh was confused. They hit him on his head and he falls unconscious.

It was late in the night and DP fumes in anger. "What the hell!". He placed the receiver back on the phone. "DP ji what happen?". DP looks at his wife. "Your son has missed the meeting. Wasn't it him begging for it. Now see we lost the deal!". AP was shocked. "What? But where is he then?". She asked him and DP shook his head. "I tried to call him, but his mobile is switched off!". He left in anger and AP tried further. But even she couldn't reach him.

Laksh woke up and found himself tied up with ropes on a chair. He was trying to release himself and struggles to find a way out of his misery. Damn it where I am and what they said. I'm the unlucky husband of the unfortunate woman Ragini. So this is all her plan. Ragini wants money from the family. Middle class woman. His anger raised and he struggles more with his hands and found the rope loosing the tightness. He was jumping on the chair to make himself fall, with the hope the chair will break with force. But his noises get the attention of the goons.

They come and hold him back. "So you want to runaway without your wife?". They all laughed. "Leave me and I will show you what I can do!". The head of the group. "Oh you have no idea what we will do if your family won't pay!". He hold Laksh collar and pushes him into the cage. He falls on the ground and Ragini couldn't see much as the less light of the cage.

She was adjusting her view when she saw him. "Laksh!". She crawls to him. "Laksh!". She shakes him seeing his wounded head. "What happen? Why is he here?". The kidnappers laugh. *Hahaha*. "He is here because he doesn't wanted to pay for your rescue, but he wanted to pay me double to keep you away from him! You know I will do both!". Laksh head was paining he gains his consciousness back and saw her. "Ragini?!". He sat up and looked at her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and saw her hands and feet's tied up. He turns to the kidnappers. "What the hell?! I thought she is your boss! She had paid for my kidnap to get the money!".

The goons shook their heads. "No! We have kidnapped her, but you weren't ready to pay for her so we kidnapped you too!". Laksh looked at her. "Are you okay?". He asked her and she didn't answer him.

"Oh mister I just told her your offer of double amount if I keep her away from you!".

Laksh looses his grip on her. "Ragini I...?!". Laksh glares at the goons. "Fine make your call and say you have us! They will pay for us!".

The kidnappers shook their heads. "No! No! No!". He shook his finger. "I will get the amount for your kidnap and the amount of her beauty! She will be sold to the highest paying one! When is the next selling?". He asked his partners, who told him in the next 3 days.

"Seeing your hate I know she isn't used. Untouched! This means a lot of money!". Ragini scares and crawls back to the wall to hide herself. "Don't touch me!". She was crying and her voice was broken completely. "Oh Mister Kidnapper! For your kind information she is my wife and I have used her several times there is not a spot I left! I hate her so I made her pay for it!". (No bashing about the dignity fact) Laksh stood up in struggle. "She is of no use! You better call my father and say you have his son and DIL. And ask for your amount!".

The kidnapper pushes Laksh on the ground. "I don't trust you!". Laksh glares at him. "Why would I lie? Please I did it!". He said in anger and confidence. He again stood up. "Just say to my father how much you want he will pay you out!". The kidnappers looked at each other and Laksh starts the fight with them.

Laksh got beaten up by them Ragini was shouting. "Leave him!". She tries to stood up but falls backwards taking support from the wall. Laksh saw that. "Ragini!". He was pushed towards her and the goon who got his punch come with a leather whip. "You will pay for it!".

The goon starts to beat him with the whip. "No!". Ragini was shocked and shouting at them to stop. She pushes herself from the wall and lies over him. "Aaahh!".

Laksh had closed his eyes. "Ragini!". She was in pain bearing the whip. Laksh tried to push her away, but she lies over him like a rock. "Ragini have you gone mad?!". He somehow managed it to keep her underneath him. He was bearing it again. "Laksh?". She was crying seeing him in pain. "Because of your foolish behaviour she had to bear the pain. Another hero act and I will kill you in front of her eyes! And what I will do with her I don't need to explain!". Laksh glares at him.

"Don't you dare to touch my wife. I will kill you!". He warns the goons, who left the cage laughing.

Laksh felt the pain on his back, but he lies next to Ragini on his back staring at the ceiling. "Less light? You are afraid of darkness!". She too was staring at the ceiling tears were rolling down her cheeks. She turns her face toward him. "Laksh?!". Her hand was shaking but she wipes his tears away. Laksh looked at her. "I'm sorry! I thought it's your game!". He hold her hand on his cheek.

Ragini sniffs. She had struggle to speak. "Even I told them, no one will believe it, they won't pay for me. As no one would miss me!". Laksh lowers his gaze. "I'm very sorry!". He thought about her, how she was trying to stand and falls backwards. Laksh moans in pain. "Aah!". He took his energy and sit on the ground he bend over her legs and saw her injury. "Ragini your feet, it's swollen! How this happen?". He took his hanky and head bandage. "They bandaged me, but not you?". Ragini kept quiet. She couldn't tell him that this pain is elder than her kidnap.

Laksh was searching for something to stabilise her wound. He found some old wood sticks he broke them in to small parts and placed them on her feet. Just then the door opens and Laksh stood in front of Ragini as a shield. The goons pull him away. "What are you doing?".

"Caring of the wound you have done on her!". Laksh shouts and the goon lifts her. "Leave her!". The goon smirks and pulls her out. "No, Ragini!". They bind him tight and left with Ragini.

Ragini was scared. "Please let me go back to my Laksh. He needs me!". She was trying to release herself. But the goon smirks. "If you want to see him alive again you will do as I say!". Ragini frighten. "What?". The goon smirks.

Ragini come back Laksh was trying to remove the chain of his leg. Damn it. The door opens and Ragini was pushed inside the cage. Laksh hold her before she could hurt herself more. "Ragini!".

Ragini was shaking. "Laksh!". She looked at him and cups his face. "They didn't hurt you further?". Laksh shook his head. "No!". He saw her clothes and state. "What they did to you?". He asked in a dangerous tone. Ragini gulps. "Nothing!". She shook her head and shows her feet. She got a bandage and the goon come in. "Mr. Laksh Maheshwari. I know you hate your wife, but playing with her dignity... this was something I couldn't believe. We went to meet a doctor and what a result I got! You can guess it, right! Nice try to save her, but she will be sold soon!". She scares and Laksh hold her tight. "Don't you dare!".

They left them alone. Ragini was crying and Laksh kept her close. He was trying to find an escape way, but he couldn't see much. Ragini found her voice. "Laksh you leave as soon as they pay. Don't stay here! Don't try to get me out of here! Please promise me to forget about this. Say them all I kidnapped you!". She took off his shirt and applied ointment on his wound. "Aaahh!".

Ragini cries. "I'm sorry! But I agree to the check up to get the ointment for you!". She cries while applying it. Laksh felt helpless. He made a fist. "Ragini we have to get out of this place! What have you seen outside these four walls?". Ragini looked at him. "Jungle!". Laksh hits with the fist on the ground. "Damn it where the hell are we?". Ragini couldn't say it as she doesn't know it. "Laksh sleep!". He wore his shirt with her help and she made him lie with his head on her lap. Ragini was caressing his head and still crying. The teardrops of her fall on his face. Ragini I'm so sorry if I had taken the call serious you wouldn't be in this situation. I have to save you at any cost.

He saw her earrings. "Ragini!". She looks at him. "Haan?".

Laksh moves with his hand toward her. He places his hand on her cheek and further behind her ear and removes the earring. "Shh". He had the fear they could hear them or watch them. He has to act smartly.

He sat straightly and made her lie on his lap. "Try to open the chain of my feet". He whispers into her ear. Ragini nods. She took the earring and lies on his lap with empty ear down.

Ragini took the top of the earring and tries to move it in the key slot of the chain. She did it noiseless and Laksh caresses her head. Ragini stopped looking at him. He never caresses her head like this, but Laksh had closed his eyes and was resting his head on the wall. She continued with it and both heard a click.

Laksh opens his eyes slowly. "Shh Ragini, we have to be very silent!". Ragini nods and shows on something. Laksh follow her gaze there was a small hatchway. He smiles. "Run As fast as you can and don't you dare to turn back!". He warns her. "They can't sell you when you are not there". He lifts her, but she shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere without you". Laksh shook his head. "Ragini this is too small for me, but you will fit in! Come I will lift you!". Ragini widen her eyes. "Laksh I'm not going without you". Laksh was scared they might hear them. "Fine, but your feet is hurt not mine! Let me help you!".

Ragini took Laksh help and was crawling out of the hatchway. She looked at her back waiting for him. Laksh shook his head. "Oh that is a bad plan!". He moves back and takes a run-up. He jumps on time to take support from the wall and Ragini pulls him out. Both were free. But this was heard by the goons.

Ragini scares. Laksh took her hand and starts to run with her into the jungle. "Aahh!". She was having the pain on her feet. Laksh hold her. He lifts her in his embrace and runs with her. This was exhausting him and taking a lot of his energy, but they could move further into the jungle.

Laksh shambles and both fall into the dark forest. Ragini was feeling the weight of Laksh on her, he stood up and hold her hand. He lifts her and carries her again. "Sorry you didn't get hurt much or?". He was out of his breath and runs further without turning back.

Laksh couldn't run anymore. "Laksh I can walk by myself, please let's take rest here. I'm sure they won't find us, we are too deep in the jungle!". Laksh nods and found a thick bush side. Both hide behind it. Laksh sat down an keeps her behind him. "Ragini Shh! No noise!".

Ragini saw him. Why is he doing this now?. He is hurting himself to save me? Why?.

Laksh keeps her close. As he heard a rustle. Ragini clutches her hands on his clothes. She hides her face on his chest, Laksh smiles. She is...?

Again a rustle, Laksh looks out of their hideout and saw villagers. Who come for a hunt. "Ragini I think there is a village nearby, but if the goons know this place they might go there first. Maybe we should stay here the night!". Ragini agrees to him and both fall asleep into each other's embrace.

The next morning arrived and both were lost in each other. Laksh was holding her protectively while Ragini was resting her head on his chest and cuddling him if there is no tomorrow.

The sun rays were shining on their faces both felt the heat and got disturbed from their peaceful sleep. Ragini looked at him. "Laksh can you walk?". She saw his knee which had bleed last night. "Haan Ragini I can I'm fine what about you?". He cups her face. She nods with a smile. "Even I can walk!". Both stood up and made their way. Laksh had remembered the way the villagers were coming and leaving.

Both were very careful not trusting anyone, they were secretly watching the villagers. They all seemed to be unaware of the goons. "Laksh maybe we can go there!". Laksh nods. "Haan it Looks safe!". They entered the village and were looking devastated.

At MM the fear increased they have called the police as Laksh was missing for more than one day and this is now a police case.

"So you think your DIL Ragini, has kidnapped your son, Laksh, her own husband?". The inspector asked and the family nods.

"Yes, only she can do that. No one else would be so obsessed with him, she had tried to kill me to marry him. She is doing everything to destroy my life just to get him!". Swara said in anger and all agreed to her.

The inspector took their statements and left from MM to start a search operation.

RagLak were safe in the village. "Beta come and have some food, you both look like if you hadn't eaten anything for many days!".

Ragini smiles. "Aunty Laksh ji can't eat spicy food. If you don't mind I will prepare something for him. I know what he likes". The elder woman agrees and let her use the stove. Laksh got clothes to wear and told the villagers about the goons. "Keep your daughters safe. They are ready to sell them without thinking twice!". The elder men's were angry. "They are here nearby and we didn't know that, don't worry Beta we will keep you safe and inform your family. There is a highway you can get a lift from there easily!". Laksh smiles with a nod. "Baba where are we?".

They looked at him. "Beta you are in Kalidan!". Laksh was shocked. "What?". They drove us so far.

Ragini come with food and serves them all. Her leg hasn't healed yet. And she was again the same caring Ragini she used to be. Laksh was looking at her only. They all had their food.

Laksh was waiting for Ragini who come in changed clothes.

She was in veil and Laksh in traditional clothes as well. Both were direct to the highway and the villagers kept them safe as they told them.

"Ragini did you eat something?". He asked her as he could hear her stomach rumble. Ragini lowered her head and shook it. Laksh fumes. "Ragini, how can you be so careless!". A truck come with the license plate of Calcutta. They stopped the truck at the resting area and asked for a lift.

They thanked the villagers and told them to inform the police. Even they would do that.

RagLak were sitting at the back of the truck. Ragini was feeling weak and Laksh could sense it. "Ragini?". He pulls her close and made her eat the food. They got for their way home. "Just a few hours and we are back!". Ragini nods and eat from his hands. "Laksh you eat?". Laksh shook his head. "No, I got great food today!". He smiles at her and feeds her further. "You know you shouldn't have cooked and even if then not for the whole village. At least you should have eat something to gain the strength and energy!".

Ragini nods. "Next Time!". Laksh looked at her. "Next Time! Is there a next time to get kidnapped?". Ragini shrugs. "It can happen!". Laksh shook his head in disbelief. "You are just too much! Sometimes I wonder who you are!".

Ragini looked at him. "I'm Ragini Lakshya... I mean I'm Ragini Gadodia. You know soon we will be back. I don't know what had happen, but I swear I haven't exchanged any names on the booking reservations. I don't know which agency the booking took place!". Laksh thought about it and the way she helped him honestly to get Swara back. Laksh smiles.

He stopped her for talking further and made her eat the food. Soon they reached Calcutta and from there the police took them. As it was in every news channel. !Headline Mr. Lakshya Maheshwari is kidnapped by his wife Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari!.

RagLak were numb and were drove to MM.

AP and DP come and hugs him tight. "Laksh!". They caresses him and glares at Ragini with hate and anger. "What the hell is wrong? Do you even know what you did? She is innocent!". They all looked at him. "By now you all should know, she would never hurt me, because she loves me!". He shouts at them.

The police inspector come. "Mr. Maheshwari you want to say she didn't kidnapped you?".

Laksh nods with a weird expression. "She hasn't kidnapped me in the usual way we all know. We both got kidnapped by real goons, who sell women near the village behind the jungle of Kalidan!".

They told them everything.

The inspector nods and got the confirmation about a gang like they were described by RagLak.

AP felt bad blaming and accusing Ragini, but still the travel agency booking was roaming in her mind. "Maa we went to the agency too before we got caught by the police. They confirmed us they mixed up the names. Ragini hasn't done anything she is innocent like I said!".

They all looked at her, but she stayed there with lowered head. "Laksh the time has come!". She turns, but Laksh hold her hand. "Inspector I told you she didn't kidnapped me the usual way we know!". They all were confused so was Ragini, while struggling to free herself he pulls her close. "Ragini you have kidnapped my heart don't you wanna return it?".

"Because if you leave you will remain as the kidnapper of my heart! Stay here with me! As Mrs. Ragini Lakshya Maheshwari!".

Ragini was numb looking at him. "What? But Swara?". Laksh shook his head. "What is with her? She isn't in love with me, neither I have seen love in her eyes for me. But what I saw is a fearless and strong Ragini. Who bear the pain and fought for me. Not only this I have seen your changed back to the Ragini you used to be, but my anger had blended me I want to correct my mistake if you let me!".

Ragini was looking at him. She too had seen his change toward her and the way he carried her through the jungle and kept her save. He even lied to save her dignity. "Are you sure?". Laksh nods. "More than anything else in my life I'm sure about this decision. I had married you out of rage and let you suffer now I want to make you happy. By giving our marriage a real chance. Do you agree to stay with me?".

Ragini hugs him tight. "Haan Laksh!".

Laksh smiles. "Great then I would like to ask you here and now I'm front of everyone. RAGINI WOULD YOU MARRY ME AGAIN?".

The answer was yes.

Edited part:

Laksh looked at her. "I'm so sorry Ragini for everything what had happened. And I want you to know that nothing like this should happen ever again!".

He looked at the family. "Don't you all want to say something. Maa Swara?".

He hold Ragini's hand tight. AP come and asked for forgiveness. "I'm sorry Ragini, we... we misunderstood you and blamed you falsely. Please forgive us!".

Swara come with tearful eyes. "I'm very sorry Ragini, you had changed and I couldn't see it. I have just saw what I wanted and hurt you! Please forgive me, I will never hurt you again!".

Ragini looked at Laksh, the only one she ever wanted was with her she didn't care about the other's and was living with them in adjustment. Her life was based on Laksh only. She didn't tried to be the perfect DIL or Sister. She just wanted to be the perfect Kidnapper.

The kidnapper of his heart...

The marriage took place again this time with happiness and blessings of everyone.

It didn't took long and 9 months passed away like this...

RagLak were holding a cute little boy in their arms.

Raksh... their lifeline.
