Hello Guys 👋👋👋

****

RagSan enter into the office when suddenly Ragini is pulled into a bone crushing hug by Karan.

Karan: (screams Happily) Congratulations Raguuu!

Ragini feels suffocated. Sanskar at once breaks the hug and rubs her back. He glares at Karan while rubbing Ragini's back. She coughs badly. Karan then gets worried and rushes to get water. He brings water and makes her drink.

Karan: I am so sorry Ragu. In excitement and happiness I didn't realise. I am sorry.

Sanskar: (angrily) Do hell with your sorry Karan. Look at her face. It has become all red and she has been continuously coughing.

Karan gets sad. Ragini holds Sanskar's hand calming him.

Ragini: Hey Karan it's ok. And thank you so muchhhhh.

She gives a hug to him this time dragging the last word the way he dragged her name.

Karan: (guilt) I am sorry!

She breaks the hug.

Ragini: It's ok Karan.

Karan looks at Sanskar while he looks away. Karan pouts at Ragini. She assures him through eyes. He nods. Sanskar holds Ragini's hand possessively and takes her from there still glaring Karan. He pouts and goes to work.

Ragini: Stop being so strict to him. He is just happy for me.

Sanskar: Yeah! Happy for you but crushes you like you are some paper.

Ragini: That's his way of showing happiness.

Sanskar: (whinnes) You always support him!

Ragini: (with disbelief) You are being so childish. Why are you always jealous of him?

Sanskar: I am not jealous.

He defends himself. Ragini raises her eyebrow. He pouts. Ragini laughs looking at him. She looks around and immediately kisses his cheek. Sanskar grins widely because of her act.

Ragini: Now let's go to work.

Sanskar: Yes and from today you will be only in this cabin. Not anywhere else.

Ragini: As if I stay in my cabin.

She states while he giggles. She goes to work in her cabin but he makes something or other excuse and asks her to come to his cabin. Finally making her to stay in his cabin. This is the daily routine. Ragini shakes her head in disbelief and gets settled in the couch. Both of them get into work.

*****

Sanskar: (giving juice to her) Here is your juice madam.

Ragini looks at the juice, then him and then at the time.

Ragini: It's just one hour I had the apple.

Sanskar: You should have something or the other for every one hour.

Ragini: Who told you this?

Sanskar: The Great Sanskar Maheshwari.

Ragini: The person who is not at all great!

She says rolling his eyes. Sanskar glares her. She takes the juice and has it without further talks. Sanskar gives good girl look. Ragini rolls her eyes again. She gets back to her work ignoring him. Sanskar looks at her with mouth open wide.

Sanskar: (sits beside her) You just can't ignore me like this.

Ragini keeps working. He pulls the file from her and keeps it away. Ragini looks away still ignoring him. He suddenly lifts her and makes her sit in his lap maiking her eyes wide. She looks at the door.

Sanskar: It's already locked.

Ragini frowns. She hits him. Sanskar pulls her towards him.

Sanskar: Tell me why are you ignoring me?

Ragini: Because you are irritating me.

Sanskar: (confused) Me? When?

Ragini: You don't know?

Sanskar shakes his head as no. Ragini glares him. Sanskar chuckles and pecks her lips. She looks at him with wide eyes. She pushes him a little.

Ragini: We are in office.

Sanskar: So?

Ragini: You are so shameless.

Sanskar: If I show shame near you how will the princess in your belly would have come?

Ragini: Aahhh! Shut up!

She says being irritated and was about to get up but Sanskar was fast and he doesn't let her to get up.

Ragini: Leave me you idiot!

Sanskar: You only told na I am idiot so I am not leaving as Idiots don't listen to their wife's words.

Ragini fumes.

Ragini: I hate you!

Sanskar: Really! I believed you!

Ragini gets fed up and pouts. Sanskar again pecks her. Ragini keeps her hands on her mouth hiding from him. He chuckles. He then kisses her hands on it. She hits her head as he isn't leaving her.

Ragini: Do whatever you want to do.

She says removing her hands. Sanskar smiles at her irritated face and kisses her forehead.

Sanskar: For today it is enough. Tomorrow I will irritate you again. The next installment.

Ragini: (with open mouth) Installment!

Sanskar chuckles and nods yes. She pouts. Sanskar about to peck her again but she keeps her hand before he could. This time he pouts. Ragini giggles.

Sanskar: Chalo let's work.

Ragini: It was you who was the cause for the delay of work.

Sanskar: Yeah I know. You don't need to taunt.

Ragini pushes him and gets up from his lap being irritated for his behaviour. She starts working while Sanskar chuckles. He also gets back to work smiling at his cute wife.

***

Ragini is coming out of the kitchen holding a tray with two tea mugs.

Swara: (suddenly screams loudly) BHABHIIII

Ragini jerks and the tray she is holding falls down making the tea mugs break. All the others who are in their rooms come out running getting scared that what happened to Ragini. Ragini is looking at Swara confused. Sanskar runs to Ragini and Ansh follows him.

Sanskar: (worried) Jaan what happened?

Ragini looks at him confused.

Ansh: Chachi what happened? Why did you shout?

Swara is looking down.

Laksh: Swara speak something for god sake!

Ragini: (confused) What happened Shona? Why did you scream?

She speaks finally. Sanskar sighs in releief and takes Ragini into his embrace.

Swara: Sorry! I screamed because bhabhi was doing work.

Laksh hits her head as soon as she said that.

Laksh: Behave wise Swara! You just scared everyone.

Swara: I am sorry!

Laksh was about to shout at her again but Ragini signs him no. So he stops and goes away from there glaring Swara. All sigh in relief seeing Ragini all fine. Sanskar takes Ansh into his arms and holds Ragini's before moving back to the room. They go back to the room while Swara stands there scolding herself for behaving stupid.

****

Sanskar: (holding Ragini in his embrace while Ansh is also in his lap) I was scared.

Ragini holds his palm and caresses it calming him.

Ragini: I went blank for few seconds hearing her scream. It's ok everything is fine.

Sanskar nods and pulls both of them more into his embrace. They hear a door knock. Ansh gets up from Sanskar's lap and runs to open the door. He opens the door to see Swara holding the tray with two tea mugs. He moves a side and let's her in. She moves inside looking down. RagSan look at her while Ragini smiles. She moves to her and takes the tray.

Ragini: Thank you Shona!

Swara: I am sorry bhabhi.

Ragini laughs and caresses her hair.

Ragini: It's ok Shona.

Swara: I didn't do it intentionally. It just happened as soon as I saw you working. I am sorry.

Sanskar: Shona it's ok. Next time be careful. Don't scare all of us.

Swara nods yes and turns to see Ansh standing there keeping his both hands on his waist. She holds her ears looking at him. He lifts his hands asking her to lift her. She lifts him in her arms.

Ansh: (kisses her cheek) I Love You chachi.

Swara: (smiling happily) I Love You too Ansh.

Ansh jumps from her arms and runs to Sanskar again sitting in his lap. Swara smiles and goes from there. Ragini closes the door. She sits beside Sanskar and takes the tea mug.

Sanskar: Pagal!

Says Sanskar shaking his head. Ragini laughs. She suddenly realises something.

Ragini: Lucky! He will definitely scold her.

She was about to go Sanskar holds her hand.

Sanskar: He won't. You already asked him not to.

Ragini nods and sits back.

Ansh: (looking at Sanskar) Papa!

Sanskar: (looks at him) Haan baby!

Ansh: My friends are saying that when the baby comes you all will love it more than me. Is it true? You will not love me like now?

He asks with cute teary eyes. Ragini just keeps looking at him. Sanskar wipes Ansh's tears.

Sanskar: Baby tell me whom you love more? Me or Mumma?

Ansh looks confused.

Ansh: Both!

Sanskar: No choose one!

Ansh keeps looking at both RagSan. He pouts.

Sanskar: When you couldn't choose between your Mumma papa you think Mumma papa will choose one among their children.

Ansh slowly understand what his papa said and grins happily. He hugs his papa tight.

Ansh: I Love You papa!

Sanskar: (hugs Ansh) I Love you too baby.

Ansh: They were all saying lies.

He pouts.

Sanskar: Umm... Let me explain what they are saying. See when baby comes it will not know anything. It won't be even able to speak to anyone. So there should be someone or the other always to take care of it. They should take extra care. In all this you may feel ignored and less loved. But the truth is they have to look after baby and they know that their elder child has become big and will manage things without them. Their elder child will understand them. But the love they have for both of them will be equal same as you have for your Mumma and papa.

Sanskar stops and looks at his son who is listening everything with lots of interest. Ragini looks at Sanskar lovingly.

Ansh: (hugs him) I Love You papa. I will also help Mumma and you in taking care of princess.

Sanskar: (smiles and teasingly)  You will change her diaper when she does potty?

Ansh makes an yuck face and pouts.

Sanskar: But she can't do it herself. So it should be either Mumma or me who has to change. As you also want to help us you will change hain na?

Ansh pouts. RagSan laugh looking at him. Sanskar pulls his cheeks.

Sansakr: My cute baby. You can help us to make Princess calm when she is crying. You can tell her lots of stories. You can teach her. You can make her smile when she is upset. You can protect her. You can help her to learn how to protect herself. You can prank her but never let others prank her. You can tease her, fight with her but again become friends with her. You can do many more things with her. You will enjoy these all things in different stages of life.

Ansh's eyes shine hearing all these.

Ansh: It will be so much fun. We both will do lots of masti. I will love her soo much that I will be her favourite.

Sanskar nods smiling happily seeing him all excited. Ansh keeps talking about what all he will do with his sister.

Sanskar: Baby enough now! If you plan everything now you will forget them when time comes we will plan.

Ansh pouts.

Ansh: Ok. I am going to play with Rusty!

Saying he jumps from bed and runs out of the room. Sanskar smiles at him and looks at Ragini who is looking at him lovingly.

Sanskar: What?

Ragini: (hugs him) I Love You!

Sanskar: I Love You too jaan!

Ragini smiles in his embrace and cuddles into him.

Ragini: I am sleepy! Good night!

Saying she closes her eyes staying in his embrace. He tries to break her hug.

Sanskar: Ragini no. You can't do it. You have to have food, medicines and then sleep.

Ragini ignores him. Sanskar frowns.

Sanskar: Don't talk to me then!

Ragini: I am pregnant and you are getting mood swings! Isn't it something crazy?

She says still being in his embrace.

Sanskar: What to do? When your pregnant wife doesn't demand anything it should be you who should have mood swings.

Ragini laughs hearing him.

Sanskar: No sleeping. Ten minutes we will have out dinner and sleep.

Ragini pouts and nods ok. Sanskar smiles

****

Ragini: (angrily) You can't do this to me Sanskar.

Sanskar: (smirking) You think I can't?

Ragini pouts and slowly tears flow from her eyes. Sanskar sighs and sits beside her.

Sanskar: Jaan listen na!

Ragini looks away and goes from there. She goes to Ram Sujatha room. Sanskar follows her.

Ragini: (with choking voice) Maa...

Sujatha who is giving medicines to Ram looks at her. She gets worried seeing her crying face. She immediately moves towards her cups her face.

Sujatha: Ragu beta what happened?

Ragini: (with crying voice) Ma your son is so bad. He always keep ordering me. He is asking me to not to come to office everyday but only when necessary. Why is he doing like this to me?

Sujatha looks at Sanskar. Now Ragini is at the end of fifth month. So Sanskar wants her to take rest. Because if she works she always stresses herself.

Sujatha: Sanskar what is all this? Why are you always troubling my daughter? If you do like this I will send her to Mohit. He is already eating my brain to send her there.

Ragini: (wiping her tears) Yes ma I will go there. I don't want to stay with this man.

She looks at Sanskar and twists her lips. Sanskar is looking everything normally.

Sanskar: (calls Mohit) Hello Mohit! Your di wants to come there. You come and take her.

All looked at him shocked. But Sanskar has his own plans. He is just acting to bring her to the correct path as he knows she doesn't want to go. Ragini starts crying loudly as well as dramatically.

Ragini: He became so heatless ma. He is even ready to send me. He doesn't have any problem if I go there.

Ram is muffling his laugh. Sujatha is already smiling at these all things. Sanskar shakes his head in disbelief.

Sanskar: You wanted to go and I am fulfilling your wish. Now with this also you have problem. This is so mean!

Ragini: (fuming) Mean! You are so mean! Not me. You always want to order me. I Hate You!

She goes from there glaring him.

Ram: Here she is right Sanskar. You always order her.

Sanskar: Papa this is too much. I always explain her first but she doesn't budge for which I have to order. That is when she comes to the path.

Sujatha: Leave all this. Tell me why are you denying her to come to office?

Sanskar: Ma you know her. She is stressing herself alot. She cannot lay down there and has to sit all the time. Her legs started getting swell. Now at this time she has to take care of herself.

Ram: Then sit with her and explain her. Instead you are ordering her.

Sanskar: (glaring his father) You think I didn't do that.

Ram: I will speak her.

Sanskar nods. Ram moves towards RagSan room. He moves towards Ragini who is packing her clothes angrily murmuring to herself.

Ram: Ragu beta!

Ragini stops and looks at him. He calls her to sit beside him on the couch. She goes and sits beside him.

Ram: How are you feeling?

Ragini: (confused) What happened to me papa? I am all fine. Just now you saw me.

Ram: Yes! But Sanskar is telling that you have swelling for your legs. Are they paining?

Ragini: (smiles) No papa. Sanskar massaged my legs. I am fine now.

Ram: You really want to go?

Ragini pouts and shakes her head.

Ragini: But your son wants me to go.

She says glaring Sanskar who is standing at the door. He smiles.

Ram: Beta he is saying for your good. Try to understand. You go to office whenever necessary. For now take rest as you need rest the most.

Ragini looks at the baby bump and then Ram. He nods yes. She pouts and nods ok. Sanskar opens his eyes wide.

Sanskar: Wasn't I explaining in the same way? You did so much drama.

Ragini looks at Ram pouting.

Ram: Idiot shut up.

Ragini shows her tongue to Sanskar. Ram caresses her hair.

Ram: So you aren't going!

Ragini shakes her head as no vigorously. Ram smiles. He kisses her forehead and goes glaring Sanskar. Sanskar looks at Ragini in disbelief. He huffs and goes to balcony. Ragini grins and follows him. She hugs him from back.

Ragini: Cholly!

Sanskar: (acting to be confused) Which language?

Ragini: Ragini's language!

She says giggling. Sanskar smiles shaking his head in disbelief. He holds her hands and brings her front. He hugs her from back keeping his chin on her shoulder.

Sanskar: I didn't even call Mohit.

Ragini: (opens her mouth wide) Cheater!

Sanskar laughs. He kisses her cheek tightly. Ragini pouts.

Ragini: I am irritating you alot na.

She asks looking at him.

Sanskar: Hmm... But I am enjoying. These moments are special.

Ragini: At the time of Ansh the swings are even more. I used to shout at Mohit for every small thing. I used to wake him every night!

She says smiling remembering those moments which were always special to her. Sanskar looks at her and smiles even more. This is the first thing she shared happily about her past. Sanskar kept staring her face lovingly which is glowing under the moon light while she shared the most beautiful memories of her life with the beautiful smile on her face.
