Hello guys 👋👋👋

****

Ragini is ready in green colour lehenga. Its her mehendi. Jeevika comes to her and looks at her.

Jeevika: Wow Ragu you look so beautiful!

Ragini doesn't even look at her. From the day of Sangeeth she isn't speaking to Jeevika. Jeevika has tried a lot to make her understand but Ragini is adamant to not to listen to her. Jeevika sits beside Ragini. Ragini was about to move away from her but Jeevika holds her hand not letting her to go. Ragini just sits there still not looking at her. Jeevika sighs.

Jeevika: (Holding Ragini's face and turning her towards her) Ragu one chance to explain please!

Hearing the words 'one chance' Ragini looked at Jeevika. She just nods as she knows what getting one chance means. She is craving for that one chance from Sanskar.

Jeevika: Don't you want both of you to be like before?

Ragini looks down and nods.

Jeevika: That is what I am trying to do Ragu. Every decision of mine is to get both of you together. He needs you and you need him. Both of your pain can be removed by only you both. I know I am taking a wrong way everytime but you both are so stubborn that I had opt that way. It pains me more for portraying myself selfish. Yes I am selfish. I want both my babu and my Ragu happy together. If I have to give even my life to make them happy then I will.

Ragini: (shocked and with teary eyes) Bhabhi!

She immediately hugs Jeevika.

Ragini: Please don't speak about death. I can't lose the mother I got after many years.

She sobs in Jeevika's embrace. Jeevika smiles with teary eyes.

Jeevika: (breaking the hug) Shh... Calm down.

Ragini composes herself while Jeevika wipes her tears.

Jeevika: Trust me everything will become fine.

Ragini: (painfully) But it's paining him more.

Jeevika: (painfully) I know but for making everything fine it is the only way I got. Aren't we the reason of his pain from the beginning?

Ragini: And I want us only to be his cure!

Jeevika: I had started becoming his cure. Now it's your turn.

Jeevika says putting her hand on her baby bump.

Jeevika: You know I am very thankfull to the baby. Atleast for this baby he is trying to be normal with me. And I will definitely get his forgiveness in this process.

Ragini: You are hurting him more than trying to gain forgiveness bhabhi.

Ragini states the fact.

Jeevika: (looks down) I know. But I didn't get any other way to make him agree for dance. Because it was the most important step to make both of you close.

Ragini sighs. She hugs Jeevika.

Ragini: I am sorry bhabhi.

Jeevika: You are not at fault Ragu!

Ragini breaks the hug.

Jeevika: We need to go. Everybody are waiting.

Ragini nods. They both move outside. Viren sees both of them and moves towards them. He cups Ragini's face and kisses her forehead lovingly. She smiles at him.

Viren: Everything will be fine very soon. It's this Doraemon's promise to his Nobitha!

Ragini smiles with teary eyes and nods. Jeevika smiles at them.

Viren: (keeping his hands around Ragini's shoulders) For now lets make your Sanskar's name on your hand. Let's see how much he loves you.

Ragini: He loves me unconditionally Teddy!

She says with teary eyes. VirIka smile at her and nod yes as they know how much he loves her even after what all happened.

Viren: I agree Princess. He loves not just you but his di ma too unconditionally. He might be angry but never forgets to prove how much he loves you both.

Jeevika hugs his hand.

Jeevika: May be that is why it was us who had broken his heart.

Viren hugs both of them and consoles them. He breaks the hug and wipes both of their tears.

Viren: Please no more tears. I will also cry along with you then instead of Mehendi we have to do Crying function.

Jeevika and Ragini looks at Viren giving 'its not at all funny' look. Viren huffs.

Viren: You both are soo mean!

Ragini and Jeevika giggle and hug him. He smiles. Soon they make Ragini sit near the Mehendi designers and they apply Mehendi for her. Nisha starts dancing along with few other guests. Soon the mehendi gets over and all the guests leave. Ragini is sitting in her room and looking at her mehendi which is very bright.

Nisha: Aww Ragu even Mehendi proves that jiju loves you a lot!

Ragini smiles looking at her.

Ragini: I think even Ajju loves you a lot.

She says signing towards Nisha's mehendi. Nisha looks at her hand and smiles. She has seen lots of changes in Arjun and it completely shows that he has moved on. He has started giving place to her in his heart. She felt lucky to be his last love though not the first one.

Ragini: (hugs Nisha) I am more happy now for you both.

Nisha smiles. They break the hug.

Nisha: Now chalo lets go to bed. Tomorrow is haldi.

Ragini: Before that lets give bhabhi some juice. She is not taking care of herself.

Nisha nods. They both moves towards kitchen and makes some juice. They move towards VirIka room to see Jeevika sitting with sad pout while Viren is doing something in his phone.

Ragini: (frowning) Bhabhi what happened?

Jeevika: Ragu I want to have ice cream but this man is denying and doing his work.

Nisha: Too bad bhai. Too bad. How can you deny your pregnant wife's craving?

Ragini: Right Nishu. Teddy you are very bad.

Viren: Hello bhabhi ki chamchis shut up. It is almost midnight now. If she has ice cream she will fall sick. And for your kind information it is her babu who has denied to not to get her ice cream.

Nisha: What? But why did jiju say that?

Ragini: And how did he get to know?

Jeevika smiles sheepishly.

Viren: Ask you pyaari bhabhi!

He says rolling his eyes. Ragini and Nisha look at Jeevika who is smiling sheepishly. They chuckle looking at her as she was looking so cute.

Ragini: (chuckling) What did you do?

Jeevika: I was asking him to get ice cream but he is saying five minutes five minutes. So I got irritated and called Sanskar. I asked him to get me one but he gave me a big lecture of how I get ill if I have ice cream at night and also denied Viren to get me one. So your brother is happily enjoying with his work.

She says glaring Viren.

Viren: So who is at fault?

All the other three: You!

Viren: (shocked) Haawww... You guys are so mean! If she would have had patience of five minutes by now she would be having ice cream. It was her who called him and finally got nothing.

He says glaring them. Jeevika pouts. Ragini and Nisha look at Jeevika helplessly. At that time Viren's phone ring. He frowns and takes the call. He immediately rushes towards the door and the other three also follow him looking him going unusually. Viren opens the door to see Sanskar with a bag.

Viren: Weren't you denying?

Sanskar: I read that we shouldn't let pregnant woman crave.

He says normally. Jeevika squeals happily and pulls the bag from Viren. She hugs Sanskar tight.

Jeevika: Thank you babu! I Love You!

Sanskar smiles a little hugging her. He kisses her forehead making her smile.

Sanskar: You go have it I will leave now.

Jeevika nods and goes from there. Ragini was jusy staring him all the time lovingly. He woke up in the midnight and went to get ice cream for his di ma and came all the way to even give her the ice cream.

Sanskar: (to Viren) Make sure she doesn't have much. It will make her ill which is not good for her and her baby too.

Viren smiles and nods.

Sanskar: I will leave now. Good night Mr. Gadodia!

He says and was about to leave but stops listening Viren.

Viren: Atleast you can address me as Jiju!

He says pain evident in his voice.

Sanskar: Do you deserve it?

He asks straight looking into his eyes. Viren smiles sadly and nods. Sanskar goes from there. Ragini hugs Viren.

Ragini: He isn't address his di ma only as di ma Teddy. Do you expect him to address you as jiju?

Viren nods. Sanskar has not addressed Jeevika as di ma from that day. He has been addressing her as Mrs. Gododia. She was hurt but she let it go as she knows that how much he is hurt. She knows that the day when he will call her di ma again is near. So she is being happy the way he is atleast showing his love and care for her not bothering other things because she didn't expected him to start caring and showing his love this soon.

Viren: (taking away the bowl of ice cream) Jeevika its enough now. You will fall ill.

Jeevika pouts. Viren glares her and she nods ok.

Nisha: I am going to empty this!

She says serving herself.

Jeevika: Oye its my Ragu's favourite!

Ragini looks at her.

Nisha: Bhabhi Ragini has stopped having ice cream since the time she felt Jiju betrayed her.

Ragini just looks down. VirIka didn't know this. They get shocked hearing it.

Ragini: It used to remind me of him and his betrayal so decided to leave it.

Jeevika: Now you know he didn't then you can have.

Ragini: No bhabhi I will have it once I get his forgiveness.

Viren was surprised as for Ragini nothing else used to matter except ice cream but the love she had for Sanskar has even let her leave ice cream. It showed how much Sanskar matters to her. Ragini leaves from there to her room. Nisha also follows her. Viren assures Jeevika and they go to their room to sleep.

Next day Jeevika and Viren enter MM as its haldi time. Sanskar is denying Ahana to remove his shirt.

Ahana: Sanskar shut up and remove the shirt.

Sanskar: Listen Ahana I am only for my Ragini. You have Karan enjoy with him.

Ahana: Oh hello you stay for your Ragini only. Who wants you? But its your haldi and you have to remove it.

Jeevika who heard them smiles especially for the words 'My Ragini' from Sanskar. Viren also felt happy may be it was in the heat of moment he said it but those are the words which he had in his heart.

Sanskar: I won't. Do whatever you want!

Ahana: (irritated) Uncle where did you get him from? Such an annoying person he is!

Everybody are just enjoying their nokhjokh as they know once Jeevika comes she will make him remove and he will instantly agree to her. If he didn't agree also she will have her ways to get that removed. So they were just enjoying the show.

Sanskar: I came from my mom's womb just like you came from aunty's womb. Dumb girl!

Ahana: Youuu! You just called me dumb. You are only dumb, Idiot, stupid.

Sanskar: Chi chi see your language. I pity Karan.

Ahana: (irritated) Ahhh! Why do you always bring Karan in between us?

Sanskar: Because he is the one who has to bear you life long. Poor he.

He makes a fake pity face.

Ahana holds the bowl of haldi angrily and about to put completely on him but Viren runs to her and stops her taking the bowl away. Jeevika relaxes.

Jeevika: Thank god Viren acted fast otherwise you would have filled him with whole haldi Ahana.

Ahana: Can I beat him with something please? Urghhh! I hate you so much!

Sanskar: I hate you too!

He says with irritated face.

Jeevika: Time up!

Ahana stamps her foot while Sanskar shows his tongue to her.

Jeevika: Babu take off your shirt.

Sanskar: (shocked) Whattt! Nooo I will not. I cannot and I won't!

He says adamantly. Jeevika looks at Vinay and Shravan. They both nod yes and in next second Sanskar is shirtless. He screams loudly covering himself making everybody laugh.

Jeevika: (laughing) Babu stop it now. We asked you to just remove your shirt. Not more than that.

Sanskar pouts. Jeevika laughs and pulls his cheek.

Jeevika: Dad we can start the rasam.

Sujatha: Then start it why are you asking bhai sa?

Jeevika: Because it will be dad who will apply first.

Dp: No Beta you do first.

Jeevika: No you are going to do it first.

All are turning their heads from one side to anotherside while Dp and Jeevika are arguing who will apply first.

Sanskar: Stooppp!

He screams. Both of them stop.

Sanskar: You have two minutes time. Decide who will do it first. If you guys still continue the argument I will go away. Think yourself.

He warns them. Jeevika pleads Dp through eyes and finally he agrees. He applies Haldi to Sanskar first. Sanskar smiles. Then Jeevika applies. Later Viren and all follows them.

Dp: Why?

Jeevika: Because you are his dad and you have the whole right.

Dp: You are his di ma.

Jeevika: Who didn't had trust on her babu!

Jeevika says smiling at Sanskar who is whinning at Ahana who has applied his whole face even after his lots of denial.

Jeevika: (looks at Dp) You stood with him and trusted him no matter what dad. I don't deserve it. If we were like before I wouldn't have given you the chance to apply haldi first to my babu. But now I feel I don't deserve.

Dp looks on listening her. She moves from there to Viren who is laughing looking Sanskar who is whinning at his friends.

Jeevika: We need to leave.

Viren nods. Jeevika takes the shagun haldi and they both go to GM for Ragini's haldi. Ragini's haldi goes calm. Soon her haldi also gets completed.
