Hello guys 👋👋👋

***

It's Jeevika's bidaayi time. Sanskar is trying as much as he could that he doesn't cry. He doesn't want to send Jeevika crying but with smile on his face. His Di ma is going to start the most important phase of her life and he wants to support her with smile but not with tears.

Jeevika is crying hugging Dp. Ragini's eyes are also filled with tears and Arjun is consoling her.

Dp: (with teary eyes) Shh... Jeevika beta. Enough. You aren't going anywhere. You will be in this city. Just ten minutes distance if we use car. You can come at any time and meet me. Calm down.

He keeps consoling her but she continues crying. Dp looks at Sanskar helplessly. Sanskar just assures him with eyes. They let her cry for few minutes. She calms down after few minutes and breaks the hug.

Dp: (cups her face and wiping her tears) Feeling better?

Jeevika nods yes. Dp kisses her forehead.

Dp: Take care.

Jeevika: You too!

Dp nods. He signs her towards Sanskar. She nods. He is looking otherside as he wasn't able to control looking his Di ma crying. She moves towards him and make him look towards her. He gulps hardly and smiles at her. She kisses his forehead lovingly.

Jeevika: Take care!

Sanskar nods and smiles abit more trying to control his cry. He kisses her forehead. He takes her hand and gives to Viren. He looks at Viren and Viren assures him through eyes. Soon they get settled in the car and drive off. Ragini looked at Sanskar before leaving and went as Arjun was holding her hand. She wants to be with him but she couldn't as there are rituals after reaching to GM.

***

All the post wedding rituals are done. Everybody are in their rooms. Ragini sneaks out of her room. She is still in the same attire which she wore at the time of marriage. She signs Nisha to enter into the car and drives away.

Nisha: Hope nobody saw you!

Ragini: Don't worry nobody saw me.

They reach a park.

Nisha: How are you so sure that he will be here?

Ragini: (smiles) Because I know him.

Nisha smiles.

Ragini: You go home and make sure nobody gets doubt.

Nisha: Don't worry! I will manage. Call me when you reach home.

Ragini nods. She runs into the park and sees Sanskar who is sitting on a bench looking blankly. She sighs and moves towards him. She sits beside him. He who sensed her just turns and hugs her tight. Ragini hugs him back and in next second she felt him burst into cry. Her eyes turned teary. She lets him cry in her embrace for sometime. Her eyes too flow with tears along with his. After few minutes when he felt better he broke the hug and looked at her. He wipes her tears and kisses her forehead.

Sanskar: (wiping his tears and joining his forehead with hers) Thank you Sweetheart!

Ragini fake glares him. He chuckles.

Sanskar: You are the best thing that had happened to me.

Ragini smiles happily.

Sanskar: I never thought I would be sending Di ma away from me. But when you got the Jiju's proposal I don't know why I felt he would be the one for my di ma. I felt he will keep her happy always no matter what. I felt he will stay with her in any situation. That is when I started accepting that she will go away from me in few days. I know she is going just few minutes away from our house but it felt like I am going far from her. I will miss her I will miss her every second. You know I don't know ma as she left us as soon as hse gave birth to me. It was always di ma who showed me the love of mother. That is the reason I call her di ma. She is more than ma to me. I will give my life if she asks me to do. I... (He chokes) I don't know how I will be living without her.

His eyes flow again while Ragini hugs him again. He breaks the hug.

Sanskar: Will you promise me something?

Ragini nods.

Sanskar: Please take care of her. Please!

Ragini keeps her hand on his and nods.

Ragini: I Promise!

Sanskar smiles. He moves a bit away from her and keeps his head in her lap laying on the bench. Ragini caresses his hair while he held her hand tight. Ragini could sense there is something else that is bothering him but not Jeevika's bidaayi. It's been happening from few days that he is disturbed but is not sharing it with anyone. She tried many times to find out but he always smiled shaking his head as nothing and asked her not to think about it.

Ragini: Sanskar!

Sanskar: (who is playing with her fingers) Hmm...

Ragini: Just remember one thing whenever you need someone to share something I am always there for you.

Sanskar: (smiles and kisses the back of her palm) I know.

Ragini: I Love You!

Sanskar: I Love You too Sweetheart!

Ragini bends and kisses his forehead while he closes his eyes feeling her love. He gets up from her lap.

Sanskar: It's very late. Let's go.

Ragini hugs him.

Ragini: No let's stay for some more time.

He smiles and hugs her back. Both stay like that for some more time. Sanskar held her protectively. Ragini could differentiate his grip. It was tight and more possessive compared to few days back.

Ragini: Hmm... May I ask something?

Sanskar: You don't need permission.

Ragini: Are you scared due to something?

Sanskar looks at her blankly but his grip tightened around her. Ragini could feel it. He is lost. Lost somewhere.

Ragini: (shakes him) Sanskar!

He comes into the senses.

Sanskar: Haan... What happened?

Ragini sighs and shakes her head as nothing. She hugs him tight. Sanskar kisses her head.

Ragini: (in mind) Why are you hiding it to yourself? Just share it with me. Let us find the solution to your problem together please.

Sanskar: Let's go now. You are tired and I am tired as well.

Ragini nods.

Sanskar: How did you come?

Ragini: I came with Nisha. But she went back as I asked her to manage at home. You know Nani might get tensed if she gets to know that I am not at home. She will spoil Teddy and Bhabhi's special time.

Sanskar: (nods) I will drop you then.

Ragini nods. They get settled in the car and drives off. Soon he drops her and leaves from there.

****

A girl is shown getting ready and another girl is sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Girl 1 angrily throws water on the girl who is sleeping. Girl 2 wakes up with jerk and looks at the Girl 1 who is glaring her. She gulps and looks at the time.

Girl 2: (gulping) Umm... Ragu I am so sorry. Will get ready in five minutes.

Says girl 2 revealing Girl 1 to be Ragini.

Ragini: (seriously) 5 minutes. You have just five minutes Nisha. One second late you will see the worst side of me.

Nisha gulps and runs into the washroom. She comes out of washroom getting ready in five minutes and looks at Ragini who is staring blankly at something. Her eyes move towards the thing and she sighs looking at the ring which Ragini is playing with her hands.

Nisha: You still have time Ragini. Just think about it.

Ragini: Everything is decided. Nothing is there to think anymore.

She says keeping the ring in the box and keeping it safely in the cupboard.

Nisha: But as a friend infact best friend I am telling you, you are taking a wrong decision.

Ragini ignores her and goes out of the room.

Nisha: (to herself) Why don't you understand Ragini? I am sure it was a misunderstanding. But you are not ready to accept. He can never do that. He will die instead but will never do that.

She sighs and goes out as she heard the car horn sound. Ragini is driving the car when she got phone. She takes the call through car bluetooth.

Ragini: Hi Teddy!

Viren: Tell me the date of your last day college there. I will book your flight princess.

Ragini: I will inform you till evening. Don't forget to book for Nisha too.

Viren: No need to say that. I will do it.

Jeevika pulls the phone.

Jeevika: And don't forget to think about Arjun's proposal Ragu.

Ragini: (gulps) Yes bhabhi.

Jeevika: Bye take care.

Ragini cuts the call. She stops th car aside and signs Nisha to drive. Nisha sighs and gets into the driving seat. Ragini sits in the passenger seat and closes her eyes.

@flashback of two years ago

Ragini is in her room with bulged eyes. Her bags are packed. She got all ready to go to US for her MBA. She opened her phone and is staring at Sanskar's picture with teary eyes. She closes her eyes and let's her tears flow. She opens her eyes and clicks Delete. She closes her mouth and cries uncontrollably. She holds a vase and throws it angrily.

Ragini: (angrily whispers) I HATE YOU Sanskar. I HATE YOU!

At that time she heard Arjun's voice. She immediately rushed to washroom and washes her face. She comes out and rushes towards the hall. She looks Arjun who is looking at her smiling. He holds her hand and brings her to the middle of the hall. VirIka are also looking dull with bulged eyes. Nani is standing there with red eyes due to crying. Ragini's eyes are also dull. Nisha came down to the hall. She looked everything confused. Suddenly Arjun sat on his knees forwarding a ring to Ragini. All gasp. Viren knew this would come but he didn't feel this is the correct time. He wants to stop but it is too late.

Arjun: I know you must have understood what I am going to tell you. You are going to go away from here for two long years and I don't want to take any risk by hiding my feelings from you anymore. From the time I got to know the meaning of Love it was always you whom I dreamt to be my love. I hid it from you all this while because I don't want to disturb your studies. Not only that you are too innocent to think about this all. Now as you have become very mature and also thought alot about your Teddy I felt I need to tell you my feelings. I will tell you directly I LOVE YOU Ragini. I Love you so much. You don't need to hurry. You can think and reply me after returning from US. I will wait for your reply. But keep this ring with you. If you feel I am the one for you, you can ask me to adore your that beautiful finger. Its completely your wish. I will never force you. But yes It will take time for me to digest your rejection if you are going to reject me. All I want to assure you and also get assured by you is our friendship which should remain same irrespective of your answer.

He stops and keeps looking at Ragini who is staring him without moving. Ragini finally comes to senses.

Ragini: (with teary eyes) I.... I need time.

Arjun: I already told you to reply me after your return.

Ragini nods. She forwards her hand and takes the ring. Arjun stands up. Ragini fakes the smile. He extends his hands and she hugs him.

Arjun: I Love You!

She just hmms. She breaks the hug.

Ragini: You are coming to airport?

Arjun nods. Ragini nods and goes from there. Nisha who is looking everything with teary eyes runs from there to her room. She closes her room door and sits sliding the door. She looks at the picture of Arjun in her phone.

Nisha: I never knew this would be coming. Why couldn't I see your love for her all these days? Will miss you Arjun. Will miss you alot.

She presses block on his number.

Here Ragini keeps the ring box in her bag and moves out of the room holding her bag. Nisha also came out of the room. They gets settled in the car.

Ragini: (with blank face) Bye Bhayyu Bye Bhabhi!

Viren nods his head looking at her painfully while Jeevika is already crying.

Jeevika: (hugging Ragini) I am so sorry Ragu!

Ragini shakes her head as no. She wipes Jeevika's tears.

Ragini: You are not at fault bhabhi. Anyways take care of yourself and Bhayyu.

Jeevika: Take care of yourself too.

Viren: Think about Arjun!

Ragini nods. She looks at Arjun who is looking at her. She moves towards him and hugs him.

Arjun: Will miss you!

Ragini: Will miss you too Arjun!

Arjun: (frowns) Is this change because of my proposal?

Ragini nods no with fake smile.

Ragini: Just felt to call you like that.

Arjun: I didn't like it. Call me the way you always call me then go.

Ragini chuckles a bit.

Ragini: Bye Ajju!

He smiles widely and nods yes. Nisha all the way avoided him. She didn't even bid bye to him and left which he felt odd but brushed his thoughts.

@flashback ends when Nisha shakes Ragini.

Nisha: We are here Ragu.

Ragini nods and they go to college.
