Hello Guys 👋👋👋

*****

Ansh: (dragging Sanskar along with him) Papa chalooo fast.

Sanskar: Baby atleast tell me where are we going?

Ansh stops and places his both hands on his waist. He frowns and starts speaking.

Ansh: Papa we are going na. Why are you so hurry to know? Please be a good boy and come with me.

Sanskar looks at his son with wide eyes and open mouth. This boy has gone so much on his brother. He shook his head in disbelief and walked along with his son without question anything after his extraordinary answer.

Soon they reach the terrace which is completely dark.

Sanskar: (confused) Why are we here baby?

As soon as he asked the question the lights got on. Ragini is standing beside him with same confused look. They both look around to see the whole terrace beautifully decorated and the whole family standing there with smile on their faces.

All: (in union) Happy anniversary!

RagSan smile whole heartedly looking at their family who planned the surprise in just a small span. Both the marriages got completed and RagSan got involved in the works to complete after the marriage. In this span both the new brides and grooms made everything that is possible to them for this lovely couple.

Ansh runs towards them and Sanskar lifts him in his arms.

Ansh: (kissing Sanskar's cheek) Happy anniversary papa.

Sanskar: Thank you baby.

Ansh looks at Ragini and signs her to come near. She smiles and goes near while he kisses her cheek.

Ansh: Happy anniversary Mumma.

Ragini: (cups his face and kisses his forehead) Thank you Chotu.

Laksh: Cake cutting time special couple.

He gives the knife to Ragini. Sanskar holds her hand and both cut the cake making everyone clap for them. RagSan feed eachother first and then to Ansh for which he pouts making them chuckle and apply cream on either of his cheeks.

Ansh: (whinnes) Mummaaaa Papaaa

Sanskar: Aww... You look more cute now baby.

Ansh pouts making all laugh at his cuteness. They have some family time getting blessings from the elders and greetings from the youngsters along with Ansh's cuteness.

Sujatha: Ok now it's time to get back to the other things. Swara, Uttara come with me. Ram you take Laksh and....

She continues instructing the works to all except for RagSan. Ansh runs to his room to change as per the order of his dadi.

RagSan are still standing there watching the moon with their hands intertwined. Ragini moves towards him and hugs him keeping her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. Sanskar is also hugging her tight closing his eyes.

Both of them travel into the memory lane of that morning when Sanskar told her that they aren't getting married.

@flashback

Ragini: (cupping his face) Will you give me something which I want?

Sanskar: (holding her hand which is on his cheek) Except for accepting for marriage.

Ragini: (with teary eyes) I want your help to forget everything about...

She stops as the lump formed in her throat. Sanskar looks at her painfully and pulls her into a tight hug. She is crying profusely and speaking in between her sobs.

Ragini: (speaking in between her sobs) Please help me Sanskar. Please. I just want to forget everything. It's been one year we both got married but still those memories haunt me. I don't want them please. I... I feel helpless. You showered all the love, tried a lot to get me back from those memories... But..... (She hiccups) but still why they aren't leaving me. It's becoming unbearable... I don't want to live...

Sanskar closes her mouth.

Sanskar: (joins his forehead with her forehead tears trip from his eyes) Please don't say that. Please...

Ragini: (helplessly) Please help me... Only you can take away my pain.

Sanskar nods.

Sanskar: I promise. I will look for all the possibilities to remove the pain completely from you.

Ragini: (suddenly) Make me yours.

Sanskar looks at her shocked.

Ragini: Only that can help me Sanskar. Everything related to him will be forgotten by your love. (with tears rolling from her eyes) Please.

Sanskar keeps looking at her eyes. He could see how much pain she is going through. This is the pain which he always want to remove but that wasn't possible. Yes she is happy that she is getting all the love which she didn't from childhood. The most loving husband beside her trying all the ways to keep her happy but the pain which is making her week are those moments which still haunt her. She is feeling unbearable. Today after Sanskar's decision of not getting married just made her to burst out everything. She always knew that he is her cure. She finally made her mind that she has to get out of those haunting moments and not to suppress them and share with him now atlast.

Sanskar: (letting his tears flow still joining his forehead with her) Atlast... Atlast you are ready to share your pain. It took one whole year for you to trust me isn't it?

Ragini: (with tears flowing and nodding no) I trust you from the time I met you but I always want to suppress them but now I am not able to bear them. Your love is making me week. I want it to be my strength. For that I should let all the pains away. I know only you can help me. Will you?

She asks innocently looking at him. He closes his eyes letting the tears flow and nods yes looking into her eyes.

Sanskar: I will. I will remove all the pain. It's my promise.

Ragini hugs him and cries in his embrace making Sanskar also cry along with her. Both of them hug eachother tight and cry letting their emotions.

@flashback ends.

Sanskar: (breaking the silence) You really want to?

Ragini: (looking painfully at him from his embrace) Please.

Sanskar kisses her forehead and nods yes. He again hugs her and sighs.

Sanskar: Let's go inside. It's getting cold here.

Ragini nods and both of them goes to their room. As RagSan were also about to get married their room was also decorated beautifully for their special night. RagSan look at the whole room. It was decorated so beautifully.

Sanskar: Help me in removing these.

Ragini: But why? It's so beautiful.

Sanskar nods no and moves towards the bed. But Ragini holds his hand.

Ragini: (with puppy face) Please please.

Sanskar: I feel suffocated with this smell Jaan. So...

Ragini immediately nods ok. They both started cleaning the bed. While cleaning Ragini stands on the bed to remove the flowers which are hanging above the bed. While removing them she stumbles, before she could fall Sanskar holds her but misses his balance and falls on the bed Ragini being on his top. Ragini laughs due to the incident while Sanskar gets lost in her laugh. He tucks her hair that is distubring his view behind her ear which makes Ragini to stop laughing and look at him.

They both get lost in eachother's eyes. While staring his eyes fall on her lips which she is torturing with her teeth. His hand moves towards her cheek cupping her face. He rubs his thumb on her lips making her lips torture free. Ragini keeps staring in his eyes while Sanskar moves slowly towards her lips. Ragini also moves forward and soon both their lips meet. 

They both kiss passionately showing love for eachother and trying to remove the pain. A tear dropped from Ragini's eye making Sanskar to break the kiss immediately. He gets worried and about to speak but Ragini kisses him again. He gets aback but responds to her kiss. Once they feel difficulty in breathing they break the kiss.

Ragini joins her forehead with his and speaks with teary eyes.

Ragini: Please!

Sanskar looks at her still in dilemma. He wants to remove her pain but this way he isn't convinced. He is scared that he will also give pain to her. He loves her but not her body. This is the fact which Ragini also knows. That is why she could trust and believe that he could remeove all her pain.

Ragini keeps staring him waiting for his reply. He immediately turns coming on her. He kisses her forehead.

Sanskar: (cupping her face) I Love You Jaan but not your....

Ragini stops him closing his mouth. She nods no with moist eyes. She cups his face and kisses his forehead and blinks her eyes saying that she trusts him. Sanskar's heart flutter and he again places his lips on her.... Scene blurs....

*****

Ragini is staring Sanskar lovingly who is sleeping peacefully keeping her in his embrace.

Ragini: (in mind) You are an angel in my life Sanskar. I couldn't thank god enough for sending you in my life. The way you made sure of every particular thing while making me yours shows how much you Love Me. The way you tried your best to not to remind of his... (stops as she completely wants to forget those now) I don't know why God has written my fate like this but the only thing I don't complain about my fate is you being in my life. I am the luckiest to get the most selfless person in my life. Thank you for everything you gave me. Thank you for making me yours and making me feel that now I am completely yours. Now there is no past, no pain, nothing. Everything is only you and your love. I promise I will love you till eternity and make sure to always keep you happy no matter what. I Love You my Swamy.

Thinking she smiles a bit as a tear escapes her eye. Sanskar moves in his sleep and slowly opens his eyes. His eyes fell on her tear. He gets worried.

Sanskar: (cupping her face and worried) Ragini Are you fine? Did I hurt you? (Guilt) I am so sorry.

Ragini keeps looking at him lovingly. She hugs him tight making him surprised.

Ragini: Sanskar Maheshwari can never hurt his Jaan Ragini Sanskar Maheshwari. He couldn't think of it even in his dreams.

Sanskar sighs in relief that she is fine. He hugs her back and kisses her head.

Ragini: Sanskar...

Sanskar: (breaking the hug and looking at her) Hmm?

Ragini: (staring him lovingly) Why do you love me so much?

Sanskar smiles. He joins his forehead with hers.

Sanskar: You answer me to the same question first then I will answer.

Ragini: (pouts) This is cheating. I asked first.

Sanskar: (pecks her pout) So you only answer first.

Ragini twists her lips. Sanskar sticks his tongue out. Ragini frowns.

Ragini: Ansh has taught you these all hain na?

Sanskar laughs. He pinches her nose.

Ragini: Say na.

Sanskar: I don't have any reason.

Ragini: Why?

Sanskar: Love is something we do without any reason and without any expectation. This is what I believe.

Ragini looks at him lovingly. His words always surprised her. Sanskar is staring into her eyes with a smile. The pain which he had seen all these days vanished. He felt that some magic has happened in their life that now all he could see was love, innocence and happiness.

Sanskar: (taking her into his embrace) I Love You.

Ragini: (giggling) I know

Sanskar chuckles.

Sanskar: (pulling her more into him) Enough of talking Mrs. Maheshwari get some rest.

Ragini: (trying to come out of his grip) No it's time to wake up.

Sanskar: (holding her tight) I am not going to leave you. Just close your eyes and sleep like a good wife. You can wake after one hour.

Ragini: but...

Sanskar: (interrupting her) Statue.

Ragini stops her words.

Sanskar: If you argue with me now you have to take leave from office. Think wisely wifey one hour sleep or whole day home.

Ragini pouts. She closes her eyes keeping her head on his chest. Sanskar taps her head and slowly both drift into sleep.
