Swaragini- Junooniyat!

Chapter1- His Love?

She dragged her lifeless body out from Maheshwari Mansion, everything comes to an end today. Today, she lost everything. When she thought that she'll finally able to get her love, her laksh back all of her Hope's died. She was exposed, the facade she was showing was revealed. The deeds she did just to get her love was now known by everyone and for everyone she become the black spot and unworthy and untrusting person, Why? Because, she crossed all her boundaries for getting Laksh. No one for a moment thought about the heights of her love, they just thought how low life person she is. Tears continuously flowed from her eyes stating her broken state, the darkness on the road reflected her at the moment with no hope of light. The wind touched her making her hair fly enhancing her face more. She can't even curse anyone but, herself . What would have happened if she never initiated all this? What if she never pushed her sister with the intention of killing her? What if instead of pretending to be happy for their marriage back then, why didn't she just backed off and cried infront of everyone telling how unfairly she was treated? But, one thing didn't changed from the moment she understands it. It was her LOVE. Shattered and Devastated was not the word to describe her at the moment, it's something unexplainable. When you hide something from world to save yourself and in the end the world knows it then, how'll you feel? Naked? Exposed? Guilty? Broken? Repenting? What's the exactly word to describe the uneasy feeling inside your heart. Heart? Which is now broken after hearing the person you love betraying your values would never be your's. He can't love you, the only think you'll be receiving from everyone now was HATE. Is this what you deserve? She reached baadi all shattered and walked lifelessly towards her room. She closed the door behind and walks towards bed throwing herself on bed crying all your heart out,"Maaaaaaa....... Ap Kahan hai? Maaaaaaaaaa", she shouted with tears continuously flowing from her eyes as she felt lonely and broken at the moment while on the other side, her family United. The room was dark like her soul, she rested her back on the bed and stared lifelessly at the particular place. She felt all of her moments fading away infront of her eyes, she forward her hand to hold it but, it vanished . She looked down while a sob escaped her mouth and she clucthed her mouth letting the tears flow at her fate.

Scene shift

Sanskar was standing near the stairs and was staring at particular place lost in his thoughts, "Bhai", laksh kept his hand on his shoulder breaking his trance. He turned and looked at him and smiled a little, "Laksh? You need anything?", He asked while Laksh nodded misty eyes, "Your Forgiveness", he utters while he looked on. Laksh holds his hand ,"I am sorry Bhai. I am sorry for not believing you and swara. I am sorry for hating and hitting you. I failed Bhai. I failed as a brother", Laksh utters as tear flows from his eyes , "Lucky!", Sanskar said as he hugged him instantly, "There is nothing to be sorry Lucky. It's good you realized , one day or other the truth was bound to come infront of everyone. Don't worry and don't be sorry, hmmm", Sanskar utters patting his back as they breaks the hug. Laksh wipes his tears looking down, "Swara will never forgive me Bhai", he utters while sanskar kept his hand on his shoulder,"And, why won't she?', he asked while laksh instantly looked at him. "Because, I didn't believed her", he utters guilty while sanskar shakes his head, "You Did! That's why you helped us in bringing the truth out. She'll forgive you for sure", sanskar utters nodding while laksh looked at him with hope in his eyes, "Really?", He asked and sanskar nodded. "Will you help me bringing swara back in my life?", Laksh asked forwarding his hand towards sanskar. Sanskar looked at him for a moment before keeping his hand on his and nodded and both smiled.

Scene shift

Swara was laying on her bed thinking about all the moments she spends with sanskar with a small smile playing on her lips, "It was not possible without you", she utters but, soon her smile vanished. "What are you thinking swara? Why are you thinking about him? You are getting divorced from him, don't forget?", She murmured to herself and closed her eyes letting all her thoughts away. She felt a shadow on her, she turned and get startled seeing ragini, "Ragini!", She shouted startled while ragini looks at her with tears flowing from her eyes. "What are are you doing here?", She asked as she turned on the lamp. "I didn't come here to hurt you", ragini utters in a low voice as she lowered her gaze. Swara looks at her for a minute and then hold her hand, "I didn't mean that ragini", she utters as she Pat's her hand. Ragini looked up and met her gaze,"I am sorry swara. I was so blind by my love for laksh that I failed to recognize your love for me. I am sorry swara. Hamein maaf kardo, please", ragini joined her palm infront of her and cries. "Ragini", swara holds her hand and nodded no with teary eyes, "I know ragini, I never wanted to make you suffer. All I want is to show right path to you and to let everyone's know the truth", swara utters while ragini looked at her. "Hamein maaf kardo", ragini utters while swara hugged her. "It's okay, ragini. I am happy as long as you realized your mistake", swara utters as they breaks the hug while, ragini holds her both hands, "I'll do anything swara. Anything to make you and Laksh together", ragini utters while swara looks on, she removed her hand and moves back. "What are you saying ragini?", Swara asked quizzical. "Wahi Jo ab hoga. Laksh hates me swara, he is yours", Ragini utters as she felt a pinged in her heart. "No! Laksh is yours Ragini", swara says as she turned her back on her while ragini sadistically smiled, "He was never mine in first place, swara", ragini mumbled as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What are you doing here?", Both get startled hearing Parvati voice. "Dadi Maa", ragini mumbled while Parvati walks and holds her shoulder angrily,"Are you here to hurt my grand daughter chori?", She asked while ragini looks on hurt. "Dadi", swara mumbled keeping a hand on her shoulder while Parvati stares angrily at her and drags her outside room, "Don't you dare to come near any of my family member, do you got that?", She snapped at ragini who bites her lips to prevent herself from crying. "Dadi, don't talk to her like that", swara utters as she glanced at ragini. "Stay away from her, swara. Who knows she might try to hurt you?", Parvati says gritting her teeths looking at ragini who looks down and runs from there not able to hear her. "Dadi", swara says while Parvati wipes her tears and looked at her, "Don't do this with her", she says while Parvati shook his head. "She is not my laado, swara. This is not my upbringing", Parvati says as tears rolled down her cheeks. "She is still your grand daughter and my sister Dadi. Just give her a chance", swara utters while Parvati looks on wiping her tears, "Sleep", she Pat's swara cheeks and goes.

"She don't deserve anyone's forgiveness mishti", shehkar said as his hand turned into a fist. "We can't neglect her shehkar, she is our daughter", sharmishta says keeping her hand on his shoulder while he shook his head. "Papa", their head turned towards ragini who was standing holding milk glass in her hand and forwarded it to him. Shehkar looked at her," Did you add poision in it to kill me?", He asked and ragini looked at him wide-eyed. "Papa", ragini utters feeling a lump form in her throat as her heart break into pieces. "Shehkar", sharmishta raised her voice a bit while shehkar chuckled," who knows she might try to kill her father when she already kidnapped her mother and also leave her sister to die?", Shehkar gives her a look. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stumbled, her heart emits fire as she clucthed the glass in her tightly, she gulps the milk staring right into her father's eye and kept it on table. She turned her back on him and walks away. Shehkar looks away while sharmishta eyes turned moisty staring at her retreating figure, "don't treat her like this", she utters. "She deserved that", shehkar told in a strict tone and walks away while sharmishta sighs.

She slides down on stairs outside her home as she felt emotions bubbling inside her, "you don't deserve anyone's love", she remembered laksh words and everyone's behavior with her. She covered her face with her palm and cried bitterly on her misery. Why did she choose this? Why? She started at the sky and looked at the star studded sky. "I lost everything and everyone. What should I do now? ", She utters helplessly crying at her fate. Everyone's word stabbed her heart thousands time, only if she realized that all her deeds will have this end. She would haven't dared to choose this path.

She looked at herself in the mirror clad in green color saree. She looked at the mangalsutra and Vermillion infront of her, her eyes turned misty remembering his words and her heart pained. "I am still yours", she mumbled as she picks up the mangalsutra and tied it around her neck and then fill her hairline with Vermillion and a tear dropped her eye. She inhaled a sharp breath as she kept pallu on her head and walks out. She stands infront of the Tulsi plant and sings melodious Aarthi praying. Everyone's comes out hearing her voice and looked on. Sharmishta smiled while shehkar and Parvati shared a glance and closed the window. Swara also comes out and stands besides her mother. She finished praying and looked at them with a small smile. She walks towards them and gives them Aarthi and then she moves inside house and looked at shehkar, Parvati and deendayal. She walked inside and stands infront of Parvati first holding thaal, "I told you to stay away from my family, didn't you hurt?", Parvati said angrily while ragini looks at her with hurt filled eyes. "Dadi Maa", she mumbles while Parvati glared her, "Margai thari Dadi Maa", Parvati shouted moving from there while she shut her eyes painfully as tears rolled down her eyes. She opened her eyes wiping her tears and inhaled a sharp breath plastering a smile across her face and moved towards shehkar,"Papa", she utters forwarding the thaal and looked at him with hope in her eyes. Shehkar looked at her and turned his face away, "Don't show me your face", he utters and goes from there neglecting her while she looked at his retreating figure with moisty eyes. She shook her head gulping the lump on her throat and moves towards deendayal and bents to take his blessing but, he moves away. She looked up at him while he looked away. She pressed her lips tightly as she stands and looked at him,"Dada Ji Hum....", He walks away before heading her. Tears rolled down her cheeks feeling hurt. She kept the thaali on the table and rushed towards exit, she stopped spotting Durga Prasad at door. She looked at him and joined her palm infront of him, Dp looked at her and sighs while she walks away bending her head hiding her tears.

"Maa, Look DP Ji is here", Shehkar said in a loud voice with a small smile as he spots Dp. He joined his palm and so, as Dp as they get seated in hall. Sanskar entered and took everyone's blessings, he looked at swara who just walks in and took Dp blessing who blessed her whole heatedly. "You here? Something important?", Shehkar asked as sharmishta kept the refreshments. Dp nodded as he forwarded the envelope, "it's swara, sanskar and Laksh, ragini's divorce papers", he utters while swara glanced at sanskar instantly hearing it who looked at her and blinks. "Both of them have signed it , it'll be good if swara and ragini will also do that", Dp utters as shehkar and Parvati shared a glance. Swara felt hurt knowing sanskar signed those papers.    Didn't he felt hurt while signing those?

"Swara beta, are you sure you want this? ", Shehkar asked as he looked at swara who looks at him. "I mean there is no chance of laksh and ragini relationship but, your's", he was cut off by swara, "I want divorce papa", she told while she felt hurt herself saying this. Shehkar nodded giving up and forwarded the papers while swara looked at sanskar and signed it. "Ragini?", Dp asked while sanskar looks at everyone. "She'll sign these too, don't worry", shehkar says assuring while Dp nodded. Sanskar signs swara as she handed the papers back. Swara looked at him with questioning eyes as he points towards outside, "Excuse me!", Sanskar excused and goes out and after a while swara follows.

"What it is sanskar?", She asked as she looked at him with hope. "There is somewhere we have to go", he told while she looks on confused, "Where?", She asked. "Just come", he told and they left.

"Why are we here sanskar?", Swara asked as they come back to the same place from where it's all started. "Just come", he said walking towards the bridge while she followed him confused. She stopped as she spots laksh standing at the bridge. Sanskar turned and looked at her, "Come", he told while swara walked towards him half hearted. "Swara!", Laksh eyes lits up seeing swara who comes and stands infront of him. "Why did you bring me here?", She asked looking at sanskar. "I told him", laksh answered her question and looked at her. "Lak...", She was cut off by him. "Not today!", He stopped showing his palm. "Today, I'll speak and you'll listen", he told while swara looks on. Sanskar moves a little far from there and glanced around until his eyes caught something. Laksh bent on his knees making swara eyes widen, "I am sorry swara, I am sorry for not trusting you, for not trusting our love", he told as his eyes turned teary as he looks at her and holds her hand. "I know I am not even deserve this forgiveness but, please forgive me and give me a chance", he told while swara looks at him. "Please, Swara give me a chance. Give my love a chance. Please, come back to me. I can't live without you. I love you, swara. Please", laksh utters as tears rolled down his eyes while swara looks on dazed hearing him and moves back. "Laksh", she said bewildered. "What are you saying laksh?", She utters in disbelief. Sanskar looks at them and walks towards them. Laksh stands and holds her shoulder, "I know swara I did a mistake but, please give me a chance atleast", he said with teary eyes while swara shook her head, "I forgive you laksh", he smiled hearing her but, her next words instantly makes it fell, "but, there is nothing between us nor it can ever be", she told while laksh looks on. "Don't say like that swara. I love you", he said while swara holds his hands, "Try to understand laksh you are ragini....", Before she could complete he cuts her," Ragini? Oh, so it's because of ragini. That damn girl destroyed everything", laksh shouted. "Laksh!", Sanskar shouted while swara looks on. "It's not because of ragini or anyone's else. You are her husband remember that", she told . "I was. I signed those divorce papers freeing myself from this unwanted relation" laksh told with a hint of anger in his tone. "Even if it then also nothing can happen between us", swara told and turned her back on him,"I am going", she told and starts walking while laksh was about to go after her when sanskar holds his hand and stopped her, "Sanskar! She is going. She didn't give me a chance", laksh said while tears rolled down his eyes. "Lucky!  Do you trust me?", Sanskar asked as he stared at him while laksh looks at him for a moment and nodded while sanskar smiled and Pat's his shoulder and looks on while laksh stared at the way swara vanished. "I'll not leave you Ragini", he thinks in his head as he clench his fist.

She cried resting her back on the pillar staring at the idol, her eyes were swollen and puffy and her whole face red, "Why can't they give me one chance? Just one chance!", She mumbled as tears didn't stopped from once. Her heart felt heavy and the tears didn't helped instead add more misery to her broken heart. A hand appears infront of her, she looked at the handkerchief and then, at the owner of it. Her eyes turned more red as she turned her head other side wiping her tears, "Do you love him?", He asked while she snapped her eyes at him angrily. "Do you come here to see me crying or to add salt on wounds, Sanskar?", She asked glaring him while he sits on his knees infront of her. "I am here to help", he told her in serious tone while she smirked snatching the handkerchief and wiping her tears, "What are you doing here?", She asked. "Laksh wanted to meet swara. So, was doing that", he told while her eyes turned misty again and she looked on hurt pressing her lips tightly, "They didn't reunites, If that's what you thinking", he told while she looks at him with questioning eyes. "Do you love him?", He asked her again looking directly into her eyes while, she looks on, "As, if you don't know", she grits her teeth wiping her tears which rolled down as, he was the only person who told her to choose this path initially. "Do you want him back?", He asked as she looked at him not able to get his words.

"What do you mean?", She asked as she stared at him. "Do you want laksh in your life again, or not?", Sanskar repeated as he looks at her while, she looks at him for a moment. "I'll help you", he told before hearing her reply, she looked on shocked hearing him. "What?", She asked in disebelief ,while sanskar nodded as he now sits comfortably infront of her. "Yes! I'll help you in getting Laksh back", sanskar told while ragini sarcastically smiled, "After snatching him, you want to help me, interesting!', she told while he looks on. "Why? Are you planning another revenge game and want to manipulate me into it?", She asked sarcastically smiling while he shook his head smiling, "Maybe! Or, maybe not. I am just doing it for getting my love back", he told while ragini looks at him. "For swara?", She asked and he nodded. "Now, tell me do you want my help or not?", He asked as he forwarded his hand. Ragini looks at him for a moment before her eyes replaced the hurt and was replaced by determined. She nodded keeping her hand on his while he smiled. "Thank you...... Dupattte wali dost", he utters while she looks on.

Ragini signed the divorce papers with heavy heart and gives it back to shehkar who was standing infront of her. He looked at the papers in his hand and then at her, he nodded as he turned to go when ragini holds his hand, "Papa, please!", She utters in a low voice . Shehkar removed her hand not looking at her, "You should have thought it before destroying it with your bare hands ragini", shehkar utters with disappointment as he walks away while ragini falls on her knees, "one chance, please", she meekly utters when swara kept her hand on her shoulder, she turned and looked at her, "Swara!", She says as she hugged her. "Please, forgive me", she utters while swara breaks the hug as she makes her stand and takes her with her. "I forgive you!", She told while ragini looked at her with lit up eyes,"Really?", She asked while swara nodded wiping her tears. "Laksh?", Ragini mumbled looking at swara who looks at her, "There is nothing left between us, ragini", swara utters while ragini holds her hand pleading,"Then give me laksh. If laksh forgive me and accept me back then everything will become fine, swara please", ragini says pleading while swara looks at her and kept her hand on her," He will be yours", swara utters while ragini looks on and smiled with tears in her eyes.

Her hands turned into a fist as tears rolled down her eyes seeing their ignorant behavior, she looked at her bleeding hand and felt hurt knowing no one's care for her. Shehkar and Parvati acts like they didn't cared as she knelt infront of them picking up the shattered vase. She tried everything to seek their forgiveness in these two days but, nothing work's. Only sharmishta and swara are those who talks to her little but, still she felt incomplete and hurt. She saw laksh today who come to ask for swara forgiveness, she felt seeing hatred in his eyes for her. She even divorced him for the sake of her love and he still didn't spare her a look except of hatred which she felt in his eyes the moment when swara denied. He left from here disappointed and hurt. She throws the broken pieces of vase on dustbin and looked at her hand, she opens the taps and kept it under it. She winced feeling the pain and tightly pressed her lips in a thin line, she wipes her wound and applied the ointment. She wipes her tears as her phone ringed, she shut her eyes tightly seeing the caller ID and sighs before picking it up, "How are you?", He asked while she grits her teeth, "Why do you always ask this question as if you are not aware how I am?", She replied him and continued, "Do you feel nice hearing in how bad and broken state I am?", She shouts at him, sanskar shut his eyes taking a deep breath, "there is nothing like that", he retorted while she sarcastically smiled with teary eyes, "You know that I am always on your side", she heard his voice and couldn't help but, laugh. "Seriously? From when? Last time, I remember you weren't there to support me when I needed you the most and instead you exposed me infront of everyone and also left in middle once you were done with your game" ,she snapped at him while he sighs shaking his head, "it wouldn't have happened in the first place, if you have listened to me and stopped in the time where I tried to stopped you", he told while she smirked, "Did laksh come?", He asked changing the topic while heart stings remembering his hate gaze and she hummed pressing her lips tightly. "Rag....", She cuts the call before hearing him and sobs, "No one is with me, even you", she utters as she inhaled a deep breath and wipes her tears. Her phone ringed again and she looked at it, she kept it on bed and stands moving out. She left the baadi and walks on road unaware of the storm heading her way. She was moving lost in her own thoughts when a van stopped infront of her and in the next moment vanished in thin air.

"Shehkar, it's been late. Ragini didn't come back yet", sharmishta utters worriedly glancing at the clock. "She would be somewhere near here only", shehkar told in a non caring tone while sharmishta looks on, "And, what if she really is in some problem", sharmishta said in a loud voice making him stop for a moment. He looked at her and sighs, "I am sure she is doing it deliberately only to make us forgive us", shehkar says while sharmishta looked at him in disbelief, "If she wanted she could have done something long back. Not trying to take  everyone's forgiveness while pleading, you can't be this much ignorant to your own blood", sharmishta said as her heart sunk fearing something unsual. "Maaa.... Maaa", swara rushed in tensed, "Did you find her?", Sharmishta asked and swara shook her head, "But, someone said they last saw her going towards the mandir. I also went their but, she was Nowhere to be found", swara utters while shehkar stands hearing her and just then Parvati and deendayal walked in. "Sharmishta Bahu!", Parvati called her out but, stopped seeing her tensed faces. "What's happening here?", She asked sensing something wrong. "Ragini is missing from morning Dadi", swara utters making them shock. "What?", Parvati and deendayal shouts. "Maari Laado!", Parvati gasped as tears rolled down her cheeks. "What are you doing here Shehkar? Go and find ragini", deendayal said while shehkar looks at him, "I thought she was.....", He was cut off by Parvati, "Shehkar go and find our laado. Whatever she did, she is still our child. What if something? No! No", fear errupt in her heart as she cried. "Go now", she shouted and he nodded leaving while everyone's prayed for her safety.

He moved from street to street and place to place to find her, he didn't left a spot where he had a feel he could get her. Soon the minutes turned into hours and guilt occupied in each and everyone's heart for neglecting her for too long. They could have expressed their anger, slapped her, shout at her but, shouldn't ignore her like they did as if she don't exist. He went to police station and launched a complain of her missing as the sky starts painting into blue. The night passed as a havoc in Gadodia's house. Shehkar reached his home in morning found everyone sleepless and distressed, "Laado?", Parvati rushed to his son who looked down hiding his tears. Tears flows from everyone's eyes, "I told you shehkar! I told you to not ignore her! Now, see", sharmishta shouted at him with tears in her eyes while swara consoled her mother.

"The police said that she could have been kidnapped and is there anyone who could do that?", Shehkar repeated what he heard as he pressed his forehead with his palm while swara looks on hearing him. "Papa", shehkar looked at him while she inhaled a deep breath.

"Jey chori or iski nautanki", sujata murmured looking at the police infront of her, "Mai bolrhi hon jeeji jey ragini khud hi kahi Jake chup gai hogi haan. Pakri Jo gai hai", sujata said while Annupurna glared her shushing her up. "I am sorry Durga prasad ji but, it's a matter of ragini life and since swara said", shehkar was cut off by laksh, "how can swara said that it's one of us behind her missing shehkar uncle? Tell her, we are not rgaini but, Maheshwari's", laksh snapped and shut his mouth after seeing dp glare, "it's okay shehkar ji, we understand. We are ready for corporation", Durga Prasad utters and shehkar folds his hand infront of everyone. Sanskar defends the stairs and looked on confused seeing the police, "what's happening here?", He asked looking around. "Ragini is missing", laksh utters gritting his teeth while sanskar looks on shocked," What? From when?", He asked as he walks forward. "Tharay ko ki hai choray jab se gayab ho wo", sujata utters unable to keep her mouth shut when rp glared her. "And, the police is doubting us behind her missing", laksh completes annoyingly while sanskar looks on. "We'll cooperate", sanskar utters while laksh throws his hand in air, "great. Just great", he utters pissed off as he walks away while everyone looks on.

Somewhere, in an underground abundant basement. She layed their lifeless, her hands were tied behind her back and her legs was tied with rope with a pole. Her state was mess and her forhead was bleeding too. The sun rays hits her face making her councious, she flapped her lashes adjusting in the light. She felt weakness on her body and pain on her head. She looked around and found herself in unfamiliar place, panicked shoot through her body as she tried to gets up and mumbled something. She cried helplessly as she tried to sit and look around. Her heartbeat faster and all she could think of was WHY? She remembers how she lost her councious after dragging inside a van. Realization strucked her and she looks on shocked realizing it's been a day since she is here. Will everyone is finding her? Did they think about her? Are they worried for her? She couldn't help but, think and cried which she could in the moment. Her body pained badly as tears streamed down helplessly, she tried to shout  "Maaaaaa.......Papaaaaaaaa.....Dadi Maaaaaaa.... Kahan hai ap log... Hamein dar lagrha hai", she shouted as her eyes land on the small ventilator from where the light was coming in the basement. She looked around to find some sharp objects but, found none. She tried to stand near  the ventilator to look up but, couldn't as her legs were tied and fall straight on ground. Tears streams down her eyes when she tried to twisted her hands hurting her wrist.

"Ra...gi....ni", her eyes widen in shock hearing her name with unfamiliar voice. She shouted as the voices grew louder making her trembled in fear. She shook her head as she crawled backwards when her eyes caught someone staring down at her wearing red mask and red shawl. Her eyes widen and her skin crawled up and tears streams down as she shakes her body making sound. The person throws a piece of bread from the ventilator and vanished. She helplessly looked at the piece of bread and then at her condition. She closed her eyes laying her body on ground.

"Have you seen her?"
"No!"

They roamed helplessly from one place to another showing her picture. Swara, Laksh, Sanskar, Adarsh and Shehkar were roaming around everyone showing her picture while DP was taking care of other things. Sharmishta and Parvat was at Maheshwari Mansion on Durga Prasad persistence until they find ragini. Everyone was truly tensed for her except sujata and Laksh who thought it as of another drama of her.

"I am done and tired", laksh says giving up while sanskar glanced at him. "Lucky! If you really want swara na then do this", sanskar says glaring him while laksh frowns . "Okay!", He said uninterested. "You said they saw her near mandir, right?", Sanskar asked swara who nodded looking around. He kept his hand on his waist as he looked around kneely until his eyes caught something, "Found it", he utters as he rushed towards the other side of road, "there is CCTV camera, if we get it's footage then we can get something", he told to shehkar who nodded and informed police. "They said it isn't working.", shhekar replied while sanskar looks on, "tell them to check everything personally", sanskar told and he nodded talking.

At MM,

Everyone stands in the hall as sanskar goes and put a CD is DVD player, he moves back and stands with everyone along with Gadodia's. He pressed the remote and the television turned on. Everyone's looks on as they found Ragini walking on the road alone and lost, "Laado", Parvati mutters looking at her through the screen with moisty eyes while Ap consoled her. Ragini was walking lost when suddenly a white van comes infront of her and drags her inside and droves away in seconds. Everyone's looks on shocked, "Ragini", sharmishta shouts her name while everyone looks on dazed not being able to say anything. Tears gushed down in Gadodia's eyes helplessly as they looks on along with Annupurna and Parineeta who felt bad. "Wo log maari laado uthakr legaye shehkar, kathe Gaye wo log. Kaha hai laado. Kesi hai?", Parvati cried while sharmishta and annupurna consoled her. "We need to post her posters throughout the city If anyone saw they'll inform us and also they are finding this number plate van", sanskar utters as everyone looks at him. "Lucky. Bhai", he looked at adarsh and Laksh who nodded and went away with him. "Don't worry shehkar ji, we'll find her soon", Dp says as shehkar nodded teary eyed. Everyone felt bad even though Ragini deceived them but, they all have spend a quality time with her and don't want anything bad happen to her. They all moved towards temple and prayed for her.

"Let.me.go, please", ragini murmured half councious. She was weak. She tried to keep her eyes opened but, it didn't helped because of weakness in her body. She was feeling terrible pain on her forhead and her whole body was numb. Tears were flowing helplessly from her eyes and she was scared, "Please, Forgive me. Please, Help me", she murmured with closed eyes and cried.

"We have distributed the pamphlets and as well give her posters, somebody will might contact us", adarsh says as looks at everyone. Sharmishta , Parvati and swara kept crying while everyone else were consoling them. "I'll not behave bad with her. Just give her back", Parvati mutters crying. "Kaki sa, I think you all should stay here until we find ragini", Annupurna says and Dp nodded. "Annupurna is right", Dp says. "No! No! Dp ji. You are already helping us alot", shehkar says misty eyes. "Please, shehkar ji. Ragini is still like a daughter to us. Please, stay", Dp says. Swara looks at Sanskar who was lost in his own thoughts with unreadable expressions.

Water droplets fall on her face, she opens her eyes as water touched her lips,"Paa...ni", she murmured as she opens her mouth to drink the water. "Paa..ni", she says as she tried to sits. Her eyes fall on the ventilator and a person face covered with mask and red shawl was throwing water from the ventilator, she drinks the water and looked at the figure, "Who... Are you?", She shouted as the person throws the bottle inside on her head and she winced. "Please, take me out. Please, help me", she shouted helplessly as she tried to release herself. "I am hungry", she murmured as her eyes fall on the bread piece. She looks down and cried. "Ra...gi...ni", she again heard unfamiliar voice echoing near her making her heartbeat race fast and scaring her. "Who are you????? Let me gooo", she shouted helplessly as she tried to release her hands but, hurted her wrist. A sobs escaped her mouth as she cried, "Hamein dar lagrha hai.... Please", she murmured and Suddenly the door wide opened which she didn't know exist. A tall figure in dark walked in ,"Who....Who .....are you?", She murmured as fear errupt in her heart. Her eyes widen seeing the red mask face and the red shawl, the person moves towards her while she tried to moves back being scared,"Let....me.....go", she murmured crying and the person stopped. Her eyes widen seeing the knife in his hands. "No! No! Don't kill me please..... Don't kill me", she shouted as the person moves towards her and covered her face with his palm, her eyes widen in shock as she flapped her eyes to keep it open, she felt her vision blurry and drowsiness overtooking her senses.

It's night and everyone was sitting tensed, whole day passed and there was no sign of ragini. It's been 39 hours since she is missing and there is no trace of her. Shehkar phone beeped 'SMS'. He taps and his eyes widen seeing the message, "Ragini", he shouted standing while everyone's looked at him. "What happened papa? Where is ragini?", Swara asked instantly. "Someone send me a location from private number", shehkar utters dazed while everyone looks on. "Let's inform police and move", Dp utters while everyone nods. "Send me the location, I'll call laksh", sanskar utters while shehkar nodded. "I'll also come with you all, please", swara uttered. "Let her come", Dp says as shehkar was about to deny her. Sanskar called laksh, "Damn, where the hell is this lucky", he murmured as they all rushed out while everyone prayed.

She was laying there unconscious. Her hands were tied and so as her mouth. Her face was pale and lots of all its color, moonlight was falling on her face in between the trees.

"Ragini"
"Ragini"

Everyone reached the forest along with police and scattered around to find her shouting her name. Fear was crawling their hearts and all they were doing was praying for her well being.

Sanskar moves to other side looking around and shouting her name, he stumbled hitting the rock and rolled on ground falling down. "Damn", he hissed hurting his back as he sits and dusted his hand. He stands holding his back when his eyes fall on the unconscious figure laying. "Ragini", he shouted her name loudly and rushed towards her. Everyone's come hearing his voice and was shocked seeing her state. "Ragini", Swara, Shehkar and Do shouted as sanskar Pat's her cheeks. "Open your eyes, Ragini!", He Pat's her cheeks worriedly. "Ragini beta", Shehkar caressed her hair's with tear flowing from his eyes. "Let's take her home", Durga Prasad said while everyone nodded. "Ragini", Laksh reached there and was shocked seeing her. Swara looks at him teary eyed, "Is she okay?", He asked while sanskar picks her up in the bridal style and they all rushed from there.

"She is weak and there is deficiency of water because she didn't eat or drink from many hours. I have given her injection, she'll be conscious soon", The doctor told and Dp, Shehkar, Laksh and Sanskar nodded hearing him. Ladies were inside laksh room with Ragini who was unconscious. Parvati caressed her hair's with teary eyed while sharmishta was holding her hand with teary eyes. Her heartbeat rose up and down fastly as she twitched her eyes tightly, "No! No!", She murmured in her sleep as sweat beads formed in her forhead. "Ragini", they mumbled tensed. "Don't kill me. Don't kill me, please. No.....Maaaaa....... Noooo...... Papa........ Save me...... Bachao hamein...... Hamein mat marna.... Let me go...... Nooo Nooooo ", she shouted unconscious as her mind played the scenes, she jerked in her state while everyone looks shocked seeing her. "Laadooo.... Ragini" , they tried to wake her up from her nightmare while her shout grew louder and rest of the people rushed inside the room and was shocked seeing her state.

"Noooooooooooooo", she shouts opening her eyes with a jerk and sits, her breaths hyperventilate as she clutches her head, "No", she mumbled as tears rolled down her eyes. "Laado", she heard familiar voice and opens her eyes finding herself in a familiar place. Sharmishta caressed her hair's with tears flowing from her eyes, she looked at everyone with blank expressions. "Hum....hum zinda hai", she mumbled while Parvati hugged her, "Laaadooo..... My child ", she cried while ragini shut her eyes tightly as she cried hysterically. "Paani....paani", she mumbled and sanskar rushed outside bringing water for her. Sharmishta makes her drink water caressing her hairs. She holds her head in between her palm and cried, "Where were you Ragini?", Shehkar asked teary eyed as he Pat's her back. She didn't reply and kept crying as Parvati engulfed in a hug. A shoot through her head and she shouts loudly holding her head, "I......I ", she hiccuped as she felt her eyelashes heavy and soon darkness took over her. "Ragini?", They shouted scared as she faints in Parvati lap. "Laado.... Ki huwa maari laado ko?", Parvati shouts as sharmishta throws water on her face but, she didn't wake up. "Doctor gives her injection, she is weak. Make her eat something when she woke up", Dp says and everyone nodded. Everyone's felt bad looking at her even sujata , she thought that she was pretending but, now seeing her she realized she is really traumatized. Swara looks at her with teary eyed as she stands, "Let her rest", she told and everyone nodded. "I'll stay with her", sharmishta and Parvati told and everyone agreed moving out.

"One minute laksh", swara holds his hand and drags him out with her. "Swara", laksh says and they stands in the corridor. "What is it, swara?", Laksh asked as he tried to hold her hand while she moves back. "Why did you do this to her?", She asked glaring at laksh who looks on quizzical. "Who?", Laksh asked. "Why did you kidnapped ragini?", Swara shouted making him shocked. "Wh....whaaaat ....are you saying swara?", He asked as sweat beads formed on his forehead and he looks other side keeping his hand on his waist. "How can you even think like that?", He utters while swara holds his shoulder making him turn," Really? Then, how do you know that we were there when we clearly didn't told you", she asked glaring him while he looks at her. "Sanskar told me", he said removing her hand. "Really? But, sanskar clearly mentioned that your phone isn't reachable then, how come he informed you when he was with us all the time", she asked gritting her teeths while he lacks of word. He shut his eyes frustrated, "Yes! Yes! It was me who kidnapped her", he shouted pulling his hairs. "It was me, Soo?", He asked while swara looks on disbelief. "I can't believe it that you'll stoop this much low", she utters disgusted. "Really? I haven't low as much as she is..you should be glad that I didn't killed her for destroying my life because I didn't want my hands to get dirty by her filthy blood", he utters and in the next moment a slap land across his cheeks and he looked on shock," How could you even think like that laksh?', swara shouted holding his collar. "She snatched you from me", he shouted while swara pushed him and looks on disbelief. "I can't believe it. I seriously can't.", She holds her head, "Just go away laksh, go away from my sight before I told everyone about your deed... Just go", she shouted as tears rolled down her cheeks. Laksh looks at her for a minute and walks away. A person is shown hiding behind a pillar heading their talks.

Sujata walks lost in her thoughts playing with the end of her saree tensed, she bumped into sanskar and looks at him. "Maa, where are you going?", He asked as he looked at her. "Wo....wo", sujata stammers while sanskar looks on. "You alright?", He asked and sujata nodded tensed. "I was tensed about Ragini", she told while sanskar gives her 'Are you serious?' look. "Maa? What happened to you? Some hour's back you were telling that she was acting and now", he asked as he looked at her cloesly. "She was kidnapped by someone", sujata mumbles while sanskar looks at her, "what's wrong?' he asked while sujata shook her head. " I think swara only kidnapped her", sujata utters while sanskar looks on shocked, "What?", He asked while sujata nodded gulping. "Haan choray... Yeh us Bengali chori ka hi kartha dharta hai.....Mai bol rhi hon tharay sa... Bhagwan ka shukr tum dono ki talaq hogai", sujata says folding her hand while sanskar looks at her in disbelief and walks away gritting his teeth.

Two days passed, ragini was back at baadi and everyone treated her well. They forgive her and give her a chance, she was still traumatized and also Maheshwari's come to visit her once a day except laksh. She was disappointed and hurt, police was searching for the culprit and there is no one she could put on blame as she didn't saw the person face or anything. "Do you need anything, ragu?", Sharmishta asked patting her cheeks while ragini weakly smiled nodding no. "Laado, yehle yeh pehen le tharay ko buri Nazar se bachayega", Parvati walks in with red thread and tied it around her hand. Ragini weakly smiled with moisty eyes as she looks at her. She was glad that atleast this incident gives her back her family atleast. She wished she could get laksh back soon too.

At MM

"I have decided to marry swara", sanskar told loudly looking at the Maheshwari's who looked on dazed hearing him. "Pagal hogya hai ki choray?", Sujata shouts while sanskar sighs, "Maa, I want to start over with swara", sanskar told as he glanced at laksh who clenched his teeth and his hand turned into a fist. "Sanskar? Are you sure?', Dp asked him and he nodded,"Yes! Bade papa, I have talked with swara. She is also ready to give our relation a chance", sanskar told while sujata holds her forhead, "Tharay talaq ko abi din hi kitne hue hai choray Jo tujhe wo Maas maachi wali chori Mari bahu banani hai. Dekh sanskar Mai tharay ko keh deti hon Mai us Bengali chori ko Mari bahu nai banaogi maray ko koi b chalegi ragini Tak maarhi bahu ban sakay hai par wo swara nahi", sujata says and walked away angrily while everyone's looks on. "Okay! We'll go to Gadodia's house to ask for swara hand", Dp told and sanskar smiled. Laksh clenched his fist as he angrily looks at him and storms away. Annupurna looked at the way he went worriedly, sanskar walked towards her and kept his hand on her shoulder, "He'll be alright, Maa", he told while annupurna shook her head, "Yesterday, he comes home after getting beaten up by roadisde goons and now, he goes all angrily. I am scared , what if he do something in anger?", She utters tensed while sanskar Pat's her shoulder, "He'll be fine, Badi Maa. Don't worry", Sanskar assured her blinking his eyes while she looks on.

At Baadi

Happiness washed over everyone's faces after hearing DP. Ragini holds swara who was smiling brightly lowering her gaze, her eyes met sanskar who was looking at her already. "I'll be glad if swara marries sanskar", shehkar utters with enthusiasm while everyone smiled. "I'll bring sweets for everyone", sharmishta utters walking towards kitchen.

"Ragini!", Everyone's head turned towards the door and they found laksh standing . "Laksh?", Ragini mutters with moisty eyes seeing him while everyone looks on. "Laksh? What are you doing here?", Dp asked as he stands while laksh walks in looking at ragini. "I am here for important work, papa", he told while everyone's looked at him confused. Laksh walks towards ragini and looked at swara who looks at him confused, he forwarded his hand and holds ragini hand making her shocked, "Laksh", she murmured as he looks at her, "Will you marry me?", He asked making everyone shocked.

"Laksh? What are you saying?", AP asked. "Papa, you asked me na whether I want to give ragini another chance or not, I have decided to give ragini and mine relationship another chance. So, tell me ragini, will you marry me?", He asked looking at ragini who looked on dazed hearing her. Her heartbeat fast as tears flows from her eyes rapidly, she looks at everyone's faces, shehkar blinks at her making her smile brightly and she nodded clutching her mouth happily. Laksh smiled hugging her and breaks the hug and looked at everyone, "I think no one will have problem with this", he told looking at everyone and then at sanskar who looks at him. Swara looks on confused. "I think it's not one but, two marriages shehkar ji", Dp told with a smile and everyone nodded happily. Swara tried to talk with Laksh but, didn't get the chance as Ap comes and blessed both of the sister's. Soon they fixed the date of marriage and everyone's started preparing. Ragini was beyond happy, she never thought she'll get another chance from laksh. She can't thank ALMIGHTY more and more for it. Other side, Swara had realized her feelings for sanskar but, was tensed for laksh. She didn't get the chance to talk with him after the dates was fixed. How can he give her a chance when he hates her to extent? She can't even shares her worries with anyone because no one knows about his deed.

They get ready cladding in bridal attire and covered their faces with a veil, they were nervous yet happy. Everyone was finally happy after going through a rough phase on their lives except sujata who still didn't accept swara as her daughter-in-law. Baadi was decorated and the groom was already present cladding in mehroon  and blue colors sherwanis. The bride's walked in and sits with their respective grooms. The marriage rituals begins as the priest starts chanting mantra's. Their heartbeats faster with each taking pehra as they stepped closer to their new lives. They filled their hairline and tried mangalsutra around their neck finally declaring as each other's life partners. Everyone smiled with happy tears throwing the rose petals on the newly Weds. Ragini kept her hand on her chest with a smile, "Thank you for giving me my love", she mumbled as a happy tear leaked her eye.

"Laksh", she looks on confused hearing her sisters dazed voice. "Laksh?", She mumbled as she holds her veil to have a view. Her eyes widen and her heart dropped on her chest, "Laksh?', she mumbled shocked seeing laksh standing beside her sister. Her hands trembled as she turned to her side to look at her groom, she gulped as she removed his sehra from his face and gasped loudly, "Sanskar?", She utters in shocked. "Yes! Mrs.Sanskar", her eyes widen in shock and she moved back shaking her head. "What?', she shouted. "What is happening here?", Durga Prasad shouts in shock. "I'll tell you bade papa", everyone's head turned towards sanskar who moved forward, "We married whom we are supposed to get married", he utters making everyone confused. "What are you saying saanskar? Me and you are supposed to get married", swara shouts unable to believe what's happening. "No!", Sanskar shook his head. "You and Laksh was supposed to marry each other because you both loves each other", he told as he turned his towards ragini and he smiled looking at her, "And, I was supposed to marry the person I love and that's...... RAGINI", He told making everyone shocked. Ragini looked on bewildered hearing him and shook his head as tears rolled down her cheeks as so, as swara, "No.... Noooo...... You.... You said you'll help me..... You said you'll help me because you wants your love", Ragini shouted as she holds her head. "Yes! And, my love is only you", sanskar told making her dazed. "This can't happen.... This can't", she shouted. " You didn't asked me for my consent", swara mumbles with tears streaming down her cheeks feeling the betrayal she went through. "Because, I know you love laksh and because of ragini you wasn't ready to accept him back. I had to do it for you as a friend and for my brother and also, for myself as I realized I can't let go my love", sanskar utters truthfully while ragini clucthed her head. "You loved me", swara mumbles as she looked at him while Sanskar smiled, "I never did, swara. I told that time because I wanted laksh to move on from you and accept ragini. I would have never do all this if ragini haven't choose that path", he told while ragini looks at him angrily and she rushed towards him holding his collar, "How could you do this to me? How could you? You promised you'll help me getting back with Laksh? Is this your promise?", She shouted angrily shaking him while sanskar holds her hand, "Sorry! Ragini. For you, I had to do it and I also promised laksh to get him back his love. I couldn't do that , I couldn't repeat the mistake which you and me did earlier", he told while ragini pushed him, "Nooooooo.... noooooo.... This can't happen.... I can't marry you.... You can't be my husband.... I don't love you", she shouted when he holds her shoulder and drags her closer, "But, I Do. You are my love. I love you", he told her intensely while she looks at him in his eyes, her heartbeat stopped seeing in those intense, "No, you can't", she mumbled as her head feels heavy , she battled her eyelashes as darkness took her and she fainted in his arms unable to believe the truth.
