Hello guys 👋👋👋

***

Ansh: Papa listen na.

Sanskar who is surfing his phone looks at him.

Ansh: Please na download that game for me in your phone.

Sanskar: No baby. That is not a good game. If you want let us go out and play some basketball.

Ansh pouts but nods as he is very good boy. Sanskar and Ansh go out of the house and start playing basketball. Suddenly the ball is being snatched by Laksh.

Laksh: (dribbling the ball) You both cheaters playing yourselves.

Ansh: (snatching the ball and dribbling) You said don't disturb me.

He shows tongue still dribbling. Sanskar takes the ball from Ansh and makes a basket. Ansh pouts.

Ansh: Next will be mine.

He challenges.

Laksh: Not easy champ.

Ansh keeps dribbling without giving any heed to him. Finally he does a basket. He jumps in happiness.

Ansh: (immitating Laksh) Not easy champ.

SanLak laugh looking at him. Ansh hears Swara calling him and runs inside. SanLak continues playing.

Laksh: Two more days you really think the case will get solved bhai?

Sanskar: Don't know Lucky. But I am getting frustrated with all these things.

He looks at the guards who are guarding the house.

Sanskar: Don't know how many days should we tolerate them.

Laksh: (making a basket) Hope to get freedom soon.

Sanskar takes the napkin from the bench and wipes his face.

Sanskar: Shall we plan something for tomorrow?

Laksh: With these guards around us? No please. It's better we stay home and do something.

Sanskar nods. His phone rings. He huffs listening the otherside.

Sanskar: You are playing with me, aren't you Rohan?

Rohan: It's not that Sanskar. The person is missing from ten days. I enquired all around his house premises.

Sanskar: I don't care anything. You have last ten days. If you can, you do otherwise I will hire someone else.

He cuts the call being frustrated.

Laksh: No clue?

Sanskar nods no.

Sanskar: The person is missing from ten days it seems. But he got a picture. He would send it to me.

His phone beeps. They sees the picture.

Sanskar: I don't even know who he is.

Laksh: Why do they want to kill you?

Sanskar shrugs his shoulders. He calls to Rohan and informs him that he doesn't even know that person. SanLak sigh and go inside as Ragini and Swara are calling them inside.

****

A man slaps another man.

Man1: Were you sleeping till they reach you? I went to trip for two months and you spoiled everything.

Man2: Sir I didn't know that he hired a private detective. I made sure he doesn't get any clues but that detective turned out from nowhere and found out.

Man1: Shut Up! Don't go out from here till I say. I should do something to this Sanskar Maheshwari. He is getting head ache to me. First that deal then this land. I can't loose more.

He throws the vase angrily and goes from there.

*****

Sanskar: Ji ma'am your king is at your service

Sanskar says in a flirty manner as soon as he enters inside the house.

Ram: (impressive look) Not bad. Slowly you are proving that you have my genes.

Ragini blushes while all others laugh at Sanskar's making faces. Ragini passes his coffee mug. He takes it from her with smile.

Sanskar: Dad Lucky and Me were thinking to plan something for tomorrow. Let us have some refreshing family time.

Ram: Good idea. So what did you guys think?

Laksh: Family picnic.

Sujatha: With guards?

She asks sarcastically.

Laksh: Mom picnic in our garden.

Ram: Something different. We can have a tent and some games. What say champ?

He asks looking at Ansh.

Ansh: (with excited eyes) We will play?

Ram nods.

Ansh: Yayyy! We will play.

Sanskar: So plan is on.

Ansh jumps on him and hugs him. All smile at them.

****

Sanskar: (holding Ragini in his embrace) What are you thinking?

Ragini moves close to him keeping her head on his chest.

Ragini: You are hiding something from me.

Sanskar: You think so?

Ragini nods.

Sanskar: Then you are right.

Ragini: (looking up from his embrace) Then tell me.

Sanskar: (kissing her forehead) Will tell you when time comes.

Ragini: Why?

Sanskar: Now it is not the right time.

Ragini sighs and nods ok.

Sanskar: Weren't you the one who wanted to watch this movie. Then why are you thinking something instead of concentrating on it?

Ragini: I don't want to watch it anymore. Switch it off.

She closes the laptop. She cuddles into him closing her eyes. Sanskar also closes his eyes taking her in his embrace. Ragini slept listening to his heart beat but he couldn't sleep. His peace went away from the time he got to know that the case is complicated. He couldn't understand why that person wants to kill him. Sanskar feels restless. He slowly comes out of her embrace and moves towards the balcony. He takes a deep breathe. He looks at the moon and keeps staring it.

Ragini who was missing his warmth opens her eyes and finds him missing. She looks around and finds him standing in balcony. She moves towards him and hugs him from back. Sanskar smiles feeling her embrace. He takes her palm and kisses it.

Ragini: This is the reason I asked you to share. You will feel light.

Sanskar breaks the hug and brings her front of him. He takes her in his embrace.

Sanskar: You be like this in my arms. I will become fine.

Ragini: Why are you so stubborn?

Sanskar: (shrugging his shoulders) Manufacturing defect.

Ragini laughs listening her answer. He smiles looking at her laugh. He cups her face. She stops laughing and looks into his eyes. She slowly closes her eyes. He moves towards her and places his lips on hers. They both get lost in their kiss showing their love for eachother. They break the kiss when they feel difficult to breathe. He lifts her in his arms and takes her to the bed. Makes her lay on the bed and screen blurs.

*****

Ragini is looking at the toys Ansh has.

Ragini: Chotu where is the ring?

Ansh: There only Mumma.

He says wearing his socks. Ragini turns towards him.

Ragini: Why are you wearing this socks now?

Ansh: We are going to picnic na.

Ragini: For picnic you will wear shoes. Why not slippers? They are more comfortable.

Ansh: But I want to wear these.

Ragini: Ok ok. But I didn't find the ring.

Ansh moves towards the cupboard and takes the ring outside.

Ragini: Oh its here only.

Ansh: But why this one?

Ragini: We will play. It will be fun.

Ansh grins and they move outside to see a tent set. All are in the casuals. The floor mat, with some snacks and all set like a picnic. Mohit and Uttara are also there.

Swara: I forgot juice jug. I will get it.

Ragini: Shona wait I will get it.

Sanskar: Oh..oh.. wait Shona you go. And Mrs. Sanskar come here.

Swara goes from there. Soon they start playing something or the other enjoying a lot. Ansh is the one who is enjoying the most. He is running and Rusty all the time back of him wagging it's tail. Everybody enjoys happily.

Swara: Let us play some dumbsharads.

Ansh jumps in excitement.

Ansh: First me!

All nod and they make into two teams. Everybody is doing when it is Sanskar's turn. He pulls Ragini and acts like Sharukh and Kajol in Kuch kuch hota hain. Ansh guesses it.

They are enjoying happily. Suddenly Rusty starts barking. Ansh takes it in his arms and caresses it but still concentrates on the game. Ragini who is looking around finds something unusual in Rusty. She looks the side Rusty is barking at, the opposite building. Her eyes widened when she realised a man is aiming at someone with the gun. She looked around to see a lazer light falling on Sanskar.

Ragini: (shocked and shouts) Sanskaarrr!

She pushes him aside making the bullet miss. All get shocked seeing the scenario. The police who are as security heard her scream and came there running.

Ragini is checking Sanskar with teary eyes.

Sanskar: Jaan... Jaan... Relax I am fine. It missed.

Laksh talks to security and they run that way to find the person.

Ragini hugs Sanskar and sobs in his embrace. Ram and Sujatha also look worried.

Ragini: (sobbing) Let's go inside.

Laksh takes Ansh in his arms who is scared. They all go inside.

Sanskar makes Ragini sit and gives her water. Laksh is consoling Ansh who is crying. Sanskar moves towards him and takes him into his arms and sits beside Ragini who immediately moves into his embrace.

Sanskar: Shh...shhh... Nothing to worry. I am fine.

A police comes inside. Laksh moves towards him.

Laksh: Did you find him?

Police: Yes sir. Don't worry we will get the information soon.

Laksh sighs and nods ok.

Laksh: They got him.

Sanskar nods. Ragini and Ansh are still in Sanskar's embrace being scared. Sanskar looks at Rusty who is sitting near his legs. He signs Laksh. Laksh takes it and caresses it.
