Hey guys back with next part. Thank you so much for the votes, comments and silent readers as well.

Sanskar's sleep gets disturbed due to sun's rays. He wakes and goes to get ready. He is getting ready when Laksh entered into his room without knocking.

Sanskar: (glaring him) idiot when will you learn manners?

Laksh: (giggling) Why should I?

Sanskar shakes his head with disbelief.

Laksh: (suspiciously) bhai you seem to be so happy.

Sanskar: (grinning) Yes very happy.

Laksh: And may I know why you are very happy?

Sanskar: (shrugging his shoulders) just like that.

Laksh: bhai say na

Sanskar: ok fine. Today afternoon Ansh will come to office and I am taking half day off as there are no meetings in the afternoon, Ansh and me are going outing. I did not meet him yesterday also I am missing him alot. (he says grinning widely)

Laksh's expressions turned serious. He gets lost in his thoughts.

Sanskar: oye Where are you?

Laksh: huh here only.

Sanskar: ok chalo let us have breakfast.

Laksh nods and Sanskar goes down happily.

Laksh: (in mind) from one week I am trying to keep him away from them but it is not working. He is seeing some or other time and going to meet Ansh and spending time with both Ansh and Ragini. He is getting more attached to them. If this continues it will be difficult for bhai to move on in his life. No I can't let my bhai's life spoil. I should do something. Think Lucky think.

His thoughts get disturbed by Sanskar's call.

Laksh: (shouts) coming bhai.

Saying he goes to have break fast.

**************

Sanskar is doing work along with Ragini.

Sanskar: Ragini where is XYZ file?

Ragini: on my desk sir, let me bring it.

Sanskar nods and continues his work. While Ragini goes to bring the file.

At that time Rashi comes to office and asks the receptionist about Sanskar.

Receptionist: Ma'am can I know your name please?

Before Rashi could answer Laksh comes there.

Laksh: arey bhabhi what a surprise!

Rashi turns and smiles at Laksh.

Rashi: hi Laksh. I am going this way so thought to meet Sanskar and go. You know na we never talked to each other alone so...

Laksh: oho bhabhi you don't need to hesitate chalo let me take you to bhai.

Rashi smiles and they both walk towards Sanskar's cabin. When they are going Swara called Laksh.

Laksh: umm bhabhi one minute (he looks around and finds Ragini going towards Sanskar's cabin) Ragini (he calls her name making her shocked because he never calls her with her name except di)

Ragini looks at him shocked and confused and walks towards him.

Ragini: yes Laksh

Laksh: can you please guide her (points towards Rashi) I mean bhabhi to bhai's cabin?

Listening to the word Bhabhi she gets even more shocked and felt a ting of pain in her heart but immediately composed herself and nods ok.

Laksh: bhabhi you go with her. I hope bhai gets surprised and happy seeing you here.

Rashi smiles at him and follows Ragini. Ragini just walks with absent mind. Her heart don't know why is paining a lot. They reach his cabin and Ragini asks permission.

Sanskar: (doing his work in laptop) what made you to take so much time Ragini?

Rashi: (smiles) hmm actually she is helping me.

Listening to some new voice Sanskar raised his head and what he saw made him shocked is understatement. He just looked at her without blinking his eyes in bewilderment. In this whole week he was very happy actually forgetting about her. And today again she appeared in front of him remembering him that he is engaged to someone whom he hardly knows only name that too not remembered properly.

Ragini: sir file (she gives the file and goes out of his cabin by excusing herself)

Sanskar: (fake smiles) you here...?

Rashi: (smiles) umm... can I sit?

Sanskar: oh... so sorry please sit down.

Rashi smiles and sits.

Rashi: actually we never spoke to each other so just thought to spend sometime with you so that we would know each other. If you are free shall we go outside...

Sanskar: (hesitantly) actually... I...

Laksh barges into the cabin making a huge sound earning Sanskar's glare.

Laksh: (ignoring his glare) of course bhabhi you both go out... Here I will manage... No problem.

Sanskar shoots daggers on Laksh while he avoids to look at Sanskar.

Laksh: (looking at Rashi) and ha bhabhi just now mom called me and told that you both have dinner to night and come home. Till then NO ENTRY.

Rashi: hahaha ok Laksh...

Laksh: not Laksh you can call me Lucky.

Rashi: (smiles) ok Lucky.

Laksh: bhai what are you waiting for go na.

Sanskar looks at him and just walks out of his cabin. He is walking when suddenly Rashi held his hand and started walking along with him. He felt uncomfortable but he could not say anything. Laksh smiles looking at them and shows thumps up to Rashi who looked at him and smiled.

Laksh: (in mind) good idea Lucky. Now due to this he would be away from them and also will get to know about his fiance with whom he has to stay life long. Thank god that bhabhi only called and asked me whether he would agree to go with her. Because of her only I got this idea and executed it perfectly. I am sorry bhai I am doing this only for you. I am really sorry.

Here Ragini looks at Rashi and Sanskar who are walking out hand in hand. Sanskar is just walking blankly while Rashi is smiling happily. She felt something in her heart but just removed her thoughts and started working.

Karan came to her.

Ragini: (then remembered about Ansh who was supposed to come there) Oh God Karan I forgot you please inform driver to take Ansh home. Sir went out with his fiance.

Karan: fiance?

Ragini: ha you also don't know?

Karan: nope

Laksh: (who comes there says) he got engaged just a week ago Karan.

Karan: oh ok. Ok Ragu I will inform driver. When is your mobile going to come back after repair?

Ragini: Mohit told he will get a new one. Idiot I asked him to get it repaired but he ordered a new one.

Karan: (smiles) did he ever listened to you?

Ragini glares him.

Karan: ok chalo let us have lunch.

Ragini nods yes and goes along with Karan.

Laksh: (in mind) sorry di. I don't know why I am not comfortable to be with you like before. May be bhai's love towards you is making me to stay away from you.

Laksh sighs and goes to Swara who is working and they both go to have lunch.

Here Sanskar is just sitting with Rashi with fake smile in a restaurant.

Rashi is asking him something and he just answers through one word or just nodding his head with fake smile.

Rashi: umm Sanskar aren't you comfortable with me?

Sanskar: (looks at her) umm... No it is not like that. Actually I speak less and we are still new to each other na so....

Rashi: (smiles and holds his hand which is on the table) you don't need to feel so Sanskar. We both are going to be together life long...

Sanskar gets lost listening to the words "We both are going to be together life long" which pierced his heart a lot. He felt pain in his heart thinking that Ragini cannot be in his life and she is already married. His eyes turned teary but he immediately turned his head to other side and wiped them.

Rashi: Sanskar are you ok?

Sanskar: umm Actually a little head ache.

Rashi: (worried) oh then come we will go back home. You need rest.

Sanskar just nods his head and they start to go home.

Rashi: I will drive Sanskar you are not well na.

Sanskar: no it is ok... I will manage.

Rashi: are you sure?

Sanskar nods yes and he drives the car.

After few minutes they reach home and Rashi meets Sujatha who is very happy seeing her son and to be daughter in law together. But does she know how much her son is suffering due to the turmoil caused in his heart and brain. He is getting restless day by day.

Sanskar excuses himself and goes to his room. He sits on the bed leaning to the bed post and closes his eyes. Ragini playing with Ansh appears in front of his eyes. Their laughter keeps echoing in his ears making him to smile.

********

Ragini completes her work and goes back home. Ansh immediately runs to her and she lifts him in her arms and he kisses her cheek. They both go to Ragini's room and get settled on the bed.

Ansh: I missed you mumma.

Ragini: Aww... Even I missed you my chotu. Tell me did you have your milk.

Ansh nods yes.

Ragini: oh god today my chotu became so good boy.

Ansh: mumma I am always good boy (he pouts)

Ragini chuckles and kisses his cheek.

Ragini: yes my chotu is always a good boy.

Ansh: mumma why didn't buddy come to school. He said he will take me out na.

Ragini: (looked at him and thought what to say) hmm... His friend came to meet him after many days. So he went with her.

Ansh: but I am missing him (he pouts)

Ragini: chotu he has to spend his time with his friends na. He met you day before yesterday he will come again when he is free... You should not say so. He has his own life na.

Ansh: (sadly) it means I am not important to him.

Voice: who said you aren't important to me?

Ansh: (immediately turns back happily) buddy

Sanskar: you are important to me than any other person in my life.

Ansh runs to him while Sanskar lifts him in his arms.

Sanskar was in his room and trying to distract himself from thoughts of RagAnsh by doing office work. But all went in vain. He just closed his laptop and came out of his room. He just came out of his house without even bothering of Sujatha calling him continuously and directly reached Agarwal house to meet Ansh. And when he reached he found hall empty and asked Kamala kaki about Ansh and just rushes to Ragini's room and heard Ansh saying 'Is he not important to Sanskar' which made Sanskar's heart sink and felt a huge pain.

Sanskar: (hugging Ansh tightly in his arms) You are most important to me Ansh. No matter whoever comes in my life you will be always important to me.

Ansh: (innocently) really?

Sanskar: really (he kisses her forehead)

Ragini: (comes to them and takes Ansh from his hands) sir that can never be possible. You have your life and your family who will be important to you. We may be there or may not be there in your life tomorrow... But your family is always with you and they are important to you. And Ansh you go and complete your home work.

Ansh: but mumma...

Ragini: chup chap go and complete your home work.

Ansh silently goes from there silently with a sad face.

Ragini: sir do you have any work?

Sanskar: (angry for what Ragini spoke but still acts cool) No actually I came here to meet Ansh... But I think you don't want me to meet him. But still I am not going to go away from him and for your kind information he was, he is and he will be the most important person of my life. You like it or not but I will be meeting him and if Sanskar Maheshwari wants something he gets that whatever the consequences may be.

Saying this he just goes to Ansh's room. There he finds Ansh sitting on his study chair and crying leaning to the table. Sanskar's heart sink in pain and he immediately rushed to him and took him in his embrace.

Ansh: (between his sobs) you will... leave me and go?

Sanskar: (with teary eyes) never in my life.

Ansh: (forwarding his hand) promise.

Sanskar: (keeping his hand on Ansh's hand) Promise I will never leave you and go.

Ansh again hugs him tightly while Sanskar caresses his hair.

Ansh: do you know buddy I never saw my papa. i always miss him and whenever I ask mumma about papa she always scolds me. And after you became my buddy I never missed him. I love you so much... please don't leave me and go...

Sanskar: you never saw your papa?

Ansh nods no. This makes Sanskar lost in his thoughts. His thoughts break by Ansh.

Ansh: You will not leave me na.

Sanskar: I promised you right... I will never break my promise. I will never leave you. (He kisses his forehead) now stop crying see you became red red due to crying (he wipes his tears)

Ansh: red red?

Sanskar: ha see you became like a tomato (he shows Ansh in the mirror whose face became red due to crying)

Ansh: (pouts) I am not tomato.

Sanskar: (kissing his cheek) aww... You are a cute tomato...

Ansh: no no I am not tomato and I am not cute...boys don't look cute they look handsome.

Sanskar: no no you are cute.

Ansh: no I am not cute.

Sanskar: you are

Ansh: I am not.

Sanskar: you are not...

Ansh: yay!!! See you only told I am not cute...

Sanskar: hawww... I thought of tricking you and make you agree but you caught me.... My cute little champ.

Ansh: hahahaha... I am very intelligent...

Sanskar: hahahaha... You are indeed champ. Chalo complete your home work I have small work I will complete that and come back.

Ansh nods ok and Sanskar moves from there out of the room only to find Ragini standing there with teary eyes seeing Ansh crying. She thought of going inside but saw Sanskar talking to him and did not go as she knows he will make Ansh fine. Sanskar looks at her and holds her hand and just drags her into a room.

Mohit who just came home saw Sanskar dragging Ragini and immediately followed them but Sankar closed the door before he could enter.

Sanskar: now tell me Ragini where is your husband?

Ragini: (Fists her hand tightly) why should I say sir? Who are you to me?

Sanskar gets angry and he holds her through shoulder tightly and pins her to the wall.

Sanskar: I am no one to you.... May be you forgot that we became friends few days ago and I think friends have right to share. So tell me where is your husband? Why didn't Ansh see him till now?

Ragini: (in pain) sir you are hurting me.

Sanskar immediately releases her hands realising what he done but he looked at her with blood shot eyes.

Sanskar: tell me.

Ragini: He is no more (says she bending her head)

Sanskar stumbles back listening what she said... He just keeps looking at her while Ragini is standing there bending her head.

Ragini: (closing her eyes tightly making her tears flow through her cheeks) I...I killed him

This came as pikachu's thunderbolt for Sanskar that the whole world started turning around him.
