Hello guys 👋👋👋
How are you all?

****

It's been two days Dadi came there. Ragini is all confused about the behavior of her family towards dadi. Laksh already warned her not to allow Ansh near dadi and also asked her to be careful. Sanskar is all silent from these two days. Sujatha is also keeping an eye on both Ragini and Ansh to make sure that they both don't come infront of dadi.

RagSanLak and Ram came home from office and got settled on the couch being tired. As soon as they sat Ansh, who heard the car sound, came running and sat in Sanskar's lap. Sanskar smiles and kisses his forehead.

Sanskar: Baby had dinner?

Ansh nods yes. Sanskar smiles. Sujatha comes with water and sits with them. At that time dadi came out of her room which made Laksh to get up from the couch immediately. He immediately moves to Sanskar, took Ansh from him.

Laksh: Champ let us play video game.

Ansh giggles and nods yes.

Laksh: (while going inside) Mom send my dinner to my room. And bhabhi go to your room.

Laksh didn't talk to Sanskar from the day dadi entered their house. Sanskar sighs listening to Laksh and gets up. He looks at Ragini who nods and gets up from couch to move towards their room.

Sujatha: Ram I will bring your food also to our room. You might be tired go fresh up.

Ram just nods and goes.

Dadi: (taunting) Wow... In these ten years you successfully made my both grandsons against me. Good work.

Sujatha: Your grandsons are not any puppets Ma ji. They know whom they should trust and whom they shouldn't.

Dadi: You are raising your voice also... Is it because of your so called daughter in law?

Sujatha: Here comes the point. I was thinking till now you didn't speak anything about Ragini. If you are thinking to instigate me against Ragini and trying to make me like you then I am telling you, it's waste of time. I was for few days a little bit like you. But it was your son who actually made me realise that I am becoming like you. Thank God that I didn't start domestic violence or I didn't taunt that pure soul. I just gave a silent treatment. Now she isn't any bahu for me but she is my daughter. And a mother will never ever think to hurt her daughter.

Dadi: Great! You made your daughter in law as a daughter. Let me also see how much time the love for your so called daughter exists in your heart!

Sujatha just smiles and was about to move when she saw Ragini coming down the stairs. She heard their talks and she got a little bit of what they are talking.

Sujatha: Ragu you want something.

Ragini: Ma I forgot my phone.

Sujatha nods. She stands there till Ragini takes her phone. Ragini while going stops and looks at Sujatha.

Sujatha: (while caressing her hair) What happened beta?

Ragini just hugged her tightly and left from there. Sujatha looks at her confused but goes from there giving a last look to dadi.

Dadi fumes and goes back to her room.

In RagSan room

Sanskar came out after freshing.

Ragini: (looking at Sanskar) Sanskar will you tell me something?

Sanskar: If it is about dadi I don't want to talk.

Ragini: (holding his hand) Sanskar I belong to this family. I just want to know about it.

Sanskar: (cups her face) Jaan not now. I will tell you some other day please.

Ragini sighs and nods. Sanskar smiles and pulls her towards him through her waist. Ragini smiles and encircles her hands around his neck. He touches her forehead with his forehead.

Sanskar: You look tired.

Ragini moves away and glares him.

Ragini: (glaring him) Go and do your work... I always look tired for you.

Sanskar chuckles and pulls her towards him again.

Ragini: Why are you laughing now?

Sanskar: I was just teasing you. Waise you look beautiful in blue.

Ragini smiles.

Ragini: (again encircling her hands around Sanksar's neck) Let us go out now. We will take Laksh and Ansh also. In this time you can sort out with Laksh.

Sanskar: (with sad face) He won't talk to me. He is angry on me for that day.

Ragini: But we can't give up without trying.

Sanskar nods.

Sanskar: After dinner.

Ragini smiles. Sujatha calls Ragini so she goes. She comes back with dinner for RagSanLak.

Ragini: Sanskar chalo. Let us go to Lucky's room.

Sanskar nods. They move to his room to find him playing with Ansh and laughing along with him.

Ragini: It's dinner time Lucky.

Laksh: Two minutes bhabhi.

Ragini: I am hungry.

Laksh stops immediately. He comes to have dinner leaving the game in middle. Ansh whines. Ragini gives him a look for which he pouts and sits in Sanskar's lap.

Ansh: Papa see na. Chachu came in middle of the game.

Laksh: Champ Mumma is hungry. We should not make her wait.

Ansh nods. He hugs Sanskar.

Ragini: Lucky after dinner let us go out.

Laksh: No bhabhi you guys carry on.

Ragini: Please na Lucky... Please for me... Please.

Laksh couldn't deny and nods yes. Ragini shows thumbs up to Sanskar secretly but Laksh saw it. He smiles a little and continues with his dinner.

Once they completed their dinner they come down.

Laksh: I will inform ma and come.

Before he could go he saw Sujatha coming.

Laksh: Mom... We are going out for sometime.

Sujatha: Don't be late. Enjoy.

They all smile at her and go out. Ansh is jumping and running all the way till the car. They all smile looking at him. They enter into car. As soon as they enter Ansh starts shouting.

Ansh: Ice cream... Ice cream... Ice cream.

Sanskar: Ok Ok Ok don't shout. We are going there only.

They reach a place where few ice cream hawkers are there. They get down while Ragini takes Ansh signing Sanskar to talk to Laksh. Laksh was about to go but Sanskar holds his hand. Laksh keeps looking front while Sanskar's eyes turn teary. It was the first time they didn't talk for two days. They never had a fight till now.

Sanskar: (choking voice) Now you don't even want to see my face?

Laksh closes his eyes letting his tears flow. He immediately turns towards Sanskar and hugs him tight.

Sanskar: I am sorry

Laksh: (nodding no) I am sorry bhai. I know I over reacted. I am sorry.

Sanskar: No you didn't over react. I was only wrong. After what all she did to mom but still I Love her. I don't understand why can't I hate her.

Laksh: Because you were always more close to her from childhood. I was always mumma's boy. But you always had her support in everything. May be she loved you truly atleast without any fakeness or acting. But bhai I am really sorry. I was just worried about bhabhi. She has become a second mom for me and I could not think her suffering.

Sanskar: (kisses Laksh's forehead and childishly) If Ragini is your second mom I am your second dad.

Laksh smiles and nods yes. What Sanskar said is true. Yes Laksh always felt that Sanskar as his second father. Sanskar was always possessive for Laksh. The five years difference between two of them has made Sanskar more protective towards Laksh. He used to be always around Laksh even in school making sure nobody messes with him. Many of the Laksh's friends get scared of Sanskar even now.

Laksh: (chuckling) My Friends get scared of you even now.

Sanskar: Means should I keep seeing when they are troubling my Lucky? Huh idiots always used to trouble you. You were so innocent then but now you became so naughty huh.

Laksh: Hello you made me that. Who asked you to pamper me?

Sanskar: You are my one and only brother. You used to be so cute that I couldn't resist to pamper you.

Laksh: (Hugs Sanskar) I Love You bhai. Please we will never fight again. It was very hard for me to be far from you.

Sanskar: I promise I will never fight with you again.

Laksh: Now buy an ice cream for me.

Sanskar: Now you are a grown up. You have to buy for yourself.

Laksh glares him. Sanskar chuckles and nods yes.

They move towards Ragini and Ansh who are already having their second ice cream. Ragini smiles looking at both SanLak.

They start having ice cream and walking on the road.

Sanskar: When is your convocation Lucky?

Laksh: Next week bhai.

Sanskar: So now you will completely concentrate on the business.

Laksh nods.

Ragini: I am driving now.

Ragini immediately hops into the driving seat while the other three get settled in the car. Ragini takes the car towards Agarwal Mansion making SanLak look confused while Ansh is grinning but stops and acts like he doesn't know anything.

Sanskar: Arey my pyaari Devi where are you taking us?

Ragini: Mera Swami Sabar ka phal meeta hota hain.

Laksh chuckles listening to their talks. Soon Ragini reaches Agarwal Mansion and they all get down.

Laksh: Bhabhi why are we here?

Ragini: (irritated) I don't repeat same dialogue again.

Laksh pouts while SanAnsh giggle. They enter inside but everything is completely dark. SanLak look more confused.

Suddenly lights get on and balloons start blasting.

Ansh: (Shouts happily) Happy Birthday papa.

Sanskar widens his eyes realising that it's his birthday while Laksh hits head for forgetting it. This all mess has been created due to dadi.

Ansh: (pouting) Papa I wished you.

Sanskar: (smiles and kisses his forehead) Thank you so much baby.

Laksh moves towards him and hugs him crushing Ansh in between Laksh and Sanskar.

Laksh: Happy Birthday Bhai... I am so sorry I forgot it.

Ansh: (pushing Laksh) Chachu you are crushing me.

Laksh: Oye get down from my bhai I want to hug him.

Ansh twists his lips and hugs Sanskar making every one chuckle. Ragini takes Ansh while Laksh hugs Sanskar.

Laksh: I am sorry again bhai. Everything happened because of dadi.

Sanskar: Shh... Forget it.

Ragini: ahem ahem... Would I get a chance to wish my husband?

They all laugh while Laksh nods yes. He takes Ansh and goes from there leaving RagSan alone.

Ragini: Happy Birthday Swami.

Sanskar: (smiling) Thank you my Devi.

Ragini looks around and see all are busy in their work. She immediately pecks his lips making Sanskar widen his eyes. Ragini chuckles. She holds his hand and drags him near everyone.

Ansh: Papa I am sleepy. Cut the cake fast na. Please.

Sanskar nods and cuts the cake. He feeds Ansh first and then Ragini. He feeds everyone who are there including Karan.

Ragini: I thought of arranging at MM only. But the atmosphere there is not good. I know mom dad and dadi aren't there but I thought dadi's presence will spoil Laksh's mood. I don't want Laksh to miss his bhai's birthday. So I had to arrange it here.

Laksh: You did best bhabhi. I am angry on myself for forgetting bhai's birthday. You can atleast involve me in your plan na?

Ragini: Devar ji I think you forgot that you weren't talking to him from two days. I felt it will be good if I don't involve you.

Sanskar: Good you didn't involve him. In anger he would have spoiled your plan. Huh.

Laksh makes faces.

Sanskar: I think we should go now. Ansh is already sleeping.

He says looking at Ansh who is sleeping on the couch. They nod. Laksh takes Ansh in his arms and they bid bye to everyone before leaving.

In car

Laksh: (suddenly realising something) Bhai you know it's been ten months you both got married now.

RagSan look at eachother and share an eyelock. But Laksh clears his throat making them come back to earth as he don't want to risk their lives because Sanskar is driving. Ragini looks outside thinking about her life how it changed everything in the span of one year one month. From the time they both met for the first time to till date. What all changed in her life? Life has turned 360° for Ragini. She just felt blessed to have Sanksar in her and her son's life. While Sanskar is smiling remembering their first meet, his jealousy, her confession everything.

They reach MM. Sujatha is waiting in the hall for them. As soon as she saw them she rushed to Sanskar and hugged him wishing him. Ram also comes there and wishes him.

Sujatha: Ragu everything went according to plan?

Ragini smiles nodding yes. Yes Ragini informed about it to Sujatha before hand.

SanLak look at eachother and the daughter-mother duo who are always together from the time Sujatha accepted Ragini. They all bid good night and went to their rooms.

Sanskar hugs Ragini from back as soon as they reach their room. He kisses her cheek from back.

Sanskar: Thank you for everything Jaan.

Ragini smiles. He holds her hands and moves towards bed. They both lay on bed and sleep hugging eachother.
