Hey guys back with next part. Thank you so much for your support.

***********

Swara: (shocked) What!!!! Are you serious Lucky? I was just out of station for two days and you did these all. At least you would have tell me once about your plan. But no you just made him engaged to someone as Ragini di has a son. But didn't you atleast think may be she must be having any reason to be as his mother or she is doing for someone else.

Laksh: (angry) Shut up Shona. Do you think I did not enquiry about her and did this to my brother. For god sake he is my brother and do you think I will spoil his life.

Swara: (folding her hands across her chest) oh really! Then what did you get to know about her?

Laksh: I got to know that he is her son... her own son...

Swara: (shocked) but she... She doesn't look like married.

Laksh: I know but... (He stops)

Screen shifts to Sanskar's cabin.

Sanskar is in his cabin trying to the concentrate on the work but could not. His mind is filled with all the incidents happened in the morning. He is really disturbed with the happenings of the day. He is sitting holding his head. At that time he hears a sweet soothing voice. His lips curve into a smile.

Sanskar: yes come in Ragini (says he looking at the file to avoid himself getting lost in her)

Ragini comes inside and starts asking doubts showing a file. Sanskar with a lot of difficulty keeps telling her but he did not even glance at her once.

Ragini is speaking but suddenly she started to cough. Sanskar immediately looks at her and gives her a glass of water. Ragini's eyes became teary due to continuous coughing. Sanskar slowly wipes her tears being lost in her. Ragini looks at him and they both get lost in eyelock.

Sanskar could depict the pain in her eyes. He just wants to be the one who removes that pain from her eyes. He wants to see himself in her eyes. He wants to see only happiness in her eyes. Whereas Ragini found something for her in his eyes which she could not figure out.

Their eyelock gets disturbed by the ring of Sanskar's phone. Sanskar averts his eyes from her and takes the call. After call they get back to their work.

But Sanskar most of the time gets lost in her beautiful face.

Sanskar: (suddenly) Will you be my friend?

Ragini: (looks at him shocked) What!

Sanskar: Will.You.Be.My.Friend?

Ragini looks at him with wide eyes.

Ragini: sir

Sankar: uff Ragini it is just a simple question and you are shocked for it. Actually I generally speak to everyone friendly in office. But I found that you are not comfortable with me on your first day. So I was professional and now I thought we can be friends so asked you. If you aren't comfortable then it is ok.

Sanskar made a sad face and started doing work again while Ragini forwarded her hand.

Sanskar looked at her hand and then at her.

Ragini: (with her cute smile) Friends?

Sanskar smiles happily and joined his hand with her and they both shook their hands making a new relationship 'Friendship'.

At that time SwaLak come there and open the door with a bang making both RagSan startle and look in that direction.

SwaLak look at their joined hands and look at eachother.

Sanskar leaves her hand and smiles at them. Laksh looks at him questioningly while Sanskar nods no.

Laksh: bhai we need to talk

Sanskar: ha Lucky say

Laksh: (looking at Ragini) it is personal.

Ragini understands and just went from there.

Laksh was about to speak something but again Sanskar's phone rang.

Sanskar: (in phone) What now... Ok... I will be there.

Sanskar: Lucky we will talk later now I need to go for a meeting in XYZ restaurant.

Laksh: but bhai.

Sanskar: (taking some files) Lucky go and inform Ragini that we need to leave within 5 minutes go.

Laksh looks at Swara and they both sigh. Laksh goes from there to inform Ragini.

After few minutes RagSan leave to meeting.

Swara: Lucky we need to tell Sanky about it.

Laksh nods thoughtfully.

@flashback

Laksh: I know but... (He stops as he is interrupted by some voice)

Voice: 'HER HUSBAND IS NO MORE'

Swara gasped hearing it and looks at Karan who is the one interrupted Laksh.

Karan: yes Swara she is a Widow. And you know what she is living only for Ansh. He is her son. But I am not understanding why you both are suddenly asking about her and discussing about her.

Swara: umm.... Nothing Karan just Laksh told me that yesterday her son came but she never spoke about him na so.

Karan: She never speaks about her family with anyone except they are very close and connected.

Laksh: Can I ask you something?

Karan nods.

Laksh: how did her husband... ?

Karan holds his fist tight controlling his anger.

Karan: (controlling his anger) umm... I should leave now. I have some work.

Saying he leaves from there.

Swara: (suspiciously) There is something Lucky which he is hiding.

Laksh: (thoughtfully) but for now I only want bhai to be away from her because he has to move on Shona. He can't be sticking to her. And that will be possible only in the way I did. Now do you agree why did I do so?

Swara: sorry Lucky. You should have told me before only na.

Laksh: I was about to say but Karan came and told and before also I was about to say but you were busy yelling at me.

Swara bites her tongue and holds her ears making sorry face and Laksh nods his head in disbelief.

Laksh: chalo let us see whether bhai is fine or not.

Swara nods and they come to Sanskar's cabin.

@flashback ends.

Laksh: (in mind) Why bhai seems to be happy when we enter his cabin?

Swara shakes him and he comes out of his thoughts.

Swara: What are you thinking?

Laksh nods nothing and they go back to work.

**********

RagSan completed their meeting and came out. Ragini saw missed calls of Mohit and called him.

Ragini: Sorry Mohit I was in meeting so I did not pick the call.

Mohit: It's ok di and I called you to inform that driver also cannot go to bring Ansh. You only go and bring him from school.

Ragini looks at the watch and then says ok.

Sanskar: Chalo chalo I am giving you a small treat on the occasion of our new friendship.

Ragini looks at him with a fake smile. Sanskar finds something is wrong.

Sanskar: (holds her hand) Ragini is everything fine?

Ragini hesitatingly nods her head as yes. And was about to move towards the car but Sanskar doesn't leave her hand.

Sanskar: I thought you really felt me as your friend.

Ragini: No Sir I really feel you as my friend.

Sanskar: Then why are you hesitating to tell me what is disturbing you?

Ragini: woh I need to pick Ansh from school in half an hour but (hesitatingly) you...were...saying about...treat...

Sanskar smiles a little.

Sanskar: let us celebrate our friendship with my little buddy champ.

Ragini looks at him with wide eyes.

Sanskar: What!!! he is senior to you as my Friend and I did not gave a treat so both treats at a time. (Excitedly) Chalo now we are getting late he will be waiting for us. And I am excited for our treat that too with two best friends.

Ragini smiles and nods ok while he just drags her. Ragini till now did not even notice that he is holding her hand. They get settled in the car. Sanskar started the car, he is grinning widely. He forgot all the happenings from morning. Now he only wants to spend sometime with RagAnsh and he is not bothering anything. It is giving him peace and that is what all he needed after what all happened in just two days of time.

Ragini is lost in his care which he showed just a few minutes before when she is worried for Ansh.

They reach Ansh's school and get down and wait for him to come out of the school.

Sanskar: (impatiently) when will he come yaar?

Ragini: Sir still there is 5minutes for the bell.

Sanskar nods his head. After five minutes bell rings and Ansh comes out wearing his small bag on his shoulder and a water bottle around his neck. Sanskar looks at him and he smiles widely. Ansh looks at them and immediately runs to them. Ragini smiles seeing him. Ansh runs to Sanskar and he immediately lifts him and twirls him.

Sanskar: hey champ (he shows his hand for hi-fi)

Ansh: hey buddy (he hifies)

Sanskar: (excitedly) you know what champ today I got a new friend.

Ansh: really who is he?

Sanskar: it is not he champ it is she. And it is your mumma. We both became best friends.

Ansh: but I am your best friend na (he pouts)

Sanskar: (smiles and pulls his cheeks) Aww... You are cho cute. Yes you are my best friend and even your mumma is also my best friend.

Ansh: (grinning) means our best friend is same person yay!!!!

Sanskar: hahaha... Chalo let us have ice cream.

Ansh: (making his eyes big) ice cream!! (In Sanskar's ear) What if mumma scolds?

Sanskar: (whispers back in his ear) Will she?

Ansh nods. Sanskar taps his chin in a thinking manner. Ragini is looking at them by narrowing her eyes.

Ragini: What are you both whispering?

SanAnsh look at each other and then at Ragini and nods no.

Sanskar: ok Ragini chalo we need to go.

Ragini nods and they again settle in the car.

Ansh starts speaking about his school. And Sanskar is listening to him patiently and talking with him forgetting Ragini. Both are just in their world and Ragini is just listening to both of them.

Sanskar stops the car when they reached. He comes down and lifts Ansh in his arms and walks along with Ragini. Ansh keeps on speaking while Sanskar keeps listening.

Ragini: oh god how much you speak chotu?

Ansh pouts while Sanskar giggles. They three enjoy there forgetting all the pains of their life for sometime.

Sanskar: now ice cream time.

Ragini: no sir Ansh gets cold very easily. So please no ice cream.

Ansh: (puppy dog eyes) mumma please just one please.

Ragini: no chotu you will get cold.

Sanskar: come on Ragini only one he will be fine.

Ansh: ha mumma please (keeps his most possible puppy face)

Ragini looks at him and melts. She nods yes and Ansh squeals making RagSan laugh.

*********

Sanskar drops them at Agarwal mansion.

Ragini: sir please come in.

Sanskar: no Ragini it's fine.

Ragini: no sir I insist.

Sanskar: (sighs and smiles) fine.

He parks the car. But he is feeling heavy in his heart as that now he should face Ragini's husband. His eyes become moist but he controls by taking a deep breath. He slowly walks inside the house.

Ragini: please have a seat sir.

Sanskar sits on the couch and Ansh jumps on him and sits in his lap. Sanskar smiles and caresses his hair. He looks around the house as Ragini went into kitchen.

Ragini: (while coming outside the kitchen) Chotu go change and come.

Ansh nods and immediately runs to his room.

Sanskar: (clearing his throat) umm... Ragini... Where is your husband?

Ragini looks at him shocked and her eyes become red due to pain, anger and hatred. Sanskar looks at her and understood that something is wrong.

Sanskar: umm Ragini... Did I ask something wrong?

Ragini composes herself and was about to speak but stops seeing Ansh coming there. Sanskar looks at him and smiles. Ansh again runs towards him and sits in his lap. They both start talking again. Ansh brings some games and Sanskar enjoys playing with Ansh. He forgot the time till he got a phone call from Laksh asking him where he is?

Sanskar: oh god!!! I did not look the time. Ok Champ I need to leave now. Will meet you other day again.

Ansh: (sadly) I will miss you buddy.

Sanskar: (kisses his forehead) miss you too Champ. Bye

Ansh kisses his cheek and bids bye. Sanskar bids bye to Ragini and leaves. As soon as Sanskar leaves UttMoh enter. Ansh runs to Mohit and starts saying him everything what he did from the evening.

Mohit: Oh god! You did a lot today. Aren't you tired?

Ansh nods yes.

Ragini: chalo then have dinner and sleep now. Come on.

Ansh nods and they go to have dinner. And sleep.

**********

Sanskar goes home happily but his happiness disappears as soon as he sees Rashi's family. His face becomes pale remembering the incidents again. He fake smiles and excuses himself and goes to his room to fresh and falls on the bed. He keeps staring at the ceiling while his eyes are flowing continuously thinking about his love. He slowly doses off thinking about Ragini and Ansh.
