Hello guys 👋👋👋

****

Sanskar is sitting in the mandap and doing puja. Ragini comes along with Jeevika and Nisha and sits beside him. He once looks at her and gets mesmerized. She is looking absolutely stunning in her red lehenga with maang teeka and nose pin. He forgot that he is doing puja and was just staring her. Ragini feeling his gaze looked at him. Their eyes meet making it an eyelock. Ragini's eyes showed happiness as this time she could see his love more than his pain.

Others who are looking at them smile happily. RagSan's eyelock gets disturbed due to pandit ji. Sanskar immediately looks away and get back to puja while Ragini smiles lightly. He might be angry, hurt with her but his love is always unconditional. He proved it every time. She became determined to gain him back. She is determined to get back her naughty, teasing Sanskar. She looked at her bhabhi who smiled and ensured her nodding her head. She smiled and nodded her head.

Pandit ji: Come forward for Kanyadhaan!

Jeevika and Viren look at eachother and move towards them. They both place Ragini's hand in Sanskar's hand when Pandit ji asked them to completing the ritual of Kanyadhaan. Viren's eyes turned teary. He wiped them away looking at the happiness in Ragini's eyes. Sanskar is looking down not wanting to getting lost in her. Ragini on the otherside is just staring him. Sanskar could feel her gaze but didn't look at her as he knows he will get lost in those beautiful eyes of her and would end up falling weak.

Ahana, Shravan, Vinay, Arjun and Nisha are standing there. Arjun is holding Nisha's hand while Nisha is supporting him. Yes he started moving on but seeing your love getting married is not easy. It did broke him but Nisha is the one he had beside him all the time.

Jeevika did Ghatbandan. Pandit ji asked them to stand for pheres. They both stood and Sanskar moves a bit towards her and just held her hand. Ragini looked at their joined hands and prayed to god to give her strength to make everything fine soon. They started taking pheres while all started showering flowers. Nisha looked at Arjun who is smiling looking at Ragini's happy face. He is showering flowers on them happily but his eyes does have tears. Once the pheres are done Nisha again held his hand and caressed it calming him. He just took her into his embrace which calmed him. Nisha smiled in his embrace still looking at RagSan.

Soon Sanskar adored Ragini's neck with mangalsoothr and foreline with Sindoor. Pandit ji declared them to be husband and wife. Arjun took a deep breathe and smiled at Nisha. Nisha came out of his embrace and held his hand.

Arjun: Thank You!

He said looking straight into her eyes. She frowned and made an angry face. He chuckled lightly seeing her.

Arjun: Ok give back my thank you.

He said forwarding his hand. She just hit his palm finally chuckling. He once again hugged her chuckling. She smiled. They both looked at RagSan holding eachother's hands. RagSan move towards Dp and took his blessings. Dp caressed Ragini's hair. She smiled at him warmly. They then moved towards nani and took her blessings. Then towards VirIka. Jeevika looked at them with teary eyes. Ragini hugged tight letting her tears flow.

Ragini: I promise will make everything fine soon.

She whispers in Jeevika's tears with teary eyes. Jeevika smiles. They break the hug. Viren is just looking at his princess who is now going away from him. Staying away from her is always painful for him. But she always have to go away from him twice for studies and now completely leaving him to her sasural. She is his everything and now when she is going away he is not able to handle it. He hugged her tight and both of them cried. After few minutes both of them break the hug and Viren wipes her tears. He kisses her forehead lovingly. Sanskar is all the time just looking away. Jeevika looks at him and holds his hand. He looks at her.

Jeevika: Atleast you can look at me.

Sanskar just looks at her. She feels bad but just hugs him. He hugs her back not wanting to hurt even more. Later they meet their friends.

Arjun: Congratulations Guys!

He says smiling. Ragini looks at him with teary eyes.

Arjun: Yaar Ginu why are you crying when I am happy?

Ragini sobs increase a bit. He takes her into his embrace and consoles her. Sanskar and Nisha just smile at them.

Ragini: I am sorry!

She whispers.

Arjun: (wiping her tears) Enough of these tears now. Stop blaming yourself now. Concentrate on making things normal.

He says to her. She nods yes.

Arjun: You are looking like a chudail!

Ragini: Teddyyyy!

She calls Viren. Arjun laughs and hits her head lightly. Ragini smiles.

Arjun: That's like my Ginu. You really look like chudail when you cry. I swear Sanskar will get scared. He is really very innocent. Don't scare him.

Sanskar frowns listening him.

Nisha: Innocent and Jiju? Hahaha good joke.

Ragini: He is really innocent.

Ragini says looking at Sanskar while looks away controlling his smile. Arjun chuckles.

Viren: Guys its time for Bidayi!

Viren says coming towards them. RagSan get down the stage.

Sanskar: Nishaaa my shoesss!

He says annoyed as he knows only she can do it. He looks at his friends angrily. They smile sheepishly. Nisha laughs moving towards them.

Nisha: (forwarding her hand) Gift!

Sanskar: Arjun can you please come here?

Arjun moves towards him confused. All the others also look confused. Sanskar holds Arjun's hand and keeps in Nisha's hand.

Sanskar: Take your gift. Give my shoes.

Nisha: Hello he is already mine. Give me a proper gift.

Arjun smiles hearing her. Sanskar couldn't help but smile hearing her. He looks at Arjun who is also smiling.

Sanskar: Ok tell me what you want?

Nisha: You will be taking the responsibility of being my brother in my marriage!

Sanskar smiles brightly and nods yes. Nisha jumps and hugs.

Nisha: Thank You Jiju!

All smile at her.

Sanskar: Now give me shoes.

Nisha: Nah another gift!

Sanskar: (rolling his eyes) If you want take my whole property but give me shoes meri ma!

All laugh hearing him.

Nisha: I don't want your property but I want a week leave!

Sanskar: Take ten days.

Nisha grins. She immediately gives him shoes while all laugh at them. Sanskar hits his own head.

Ahana: Someone who can irritate him!

Shravan and Vinay giggles. Sanskar glares her.

Ahana: I am not scared of you.

Sanskar: Stop wandering with Nisha. You are also becoming like her.

Nisha and Ahana hifies with eachother.

Arjun: Guys I think its enough of masti. They need to leave. They have other rituals to do after reaching there.

Jeevika: Someone who can talk sensible.

Sanskar: I also agree!

He says glaring his friends and Nisha. Nisha shows her tongue to him while he hits his head. All laugh again and finally start the bidaayi rasam. Ragini looks at Nani.

Ragini: (with choking voice) Now nobody will irritate you.

She says and pouts. Nani looks at her with teary eyes and hugs her.

Nani: Be strong!

She whispers. Ragini nods and breaks the hug. Then she looks at her Santha kaki who always made sure to make her favourite food. She hugs her and cries. Santha kaki wishes her good luck. She then looks at Viren. Viren smiles with teary eyes. She hugs him and cries again. He wipes his tears that flow and lets her cry for sometime so that she gets relaxed. Once he felt she is not crying anymore he breaks the hug. He wipes her tears and kisses her forehead. He takes her hand gives the hand to Sanskar. Sanskar holds her hand and looks at him as if saying that he will take care. Ragini then hugs Jeevika.

They then get settled in the car and leave to MM.

Ragini keeps looking outside. Sanskar is still holding her hand. Ragini looks inside the car and puts her head on Sanskar's shoulder. He says nothing and just keeps looking the road. Ragini also doesn't say anything. After few minutes Sanskar could feel his shoulder wet. He fists his other hand tight controlling himself not to show that he is effected. Soon they reach MM.

Jeevika, Viren, Nisha and Arjun also came there for remaining rituals. Jeevika is already there with the aarthi taal. She does their aarthi and Ragini enters inside kicking the rice pot and putting her legs in red water leaving her foot prints. Sanskar is all silent and doing everything. They are asked to settle down for ring searching ceremony.

Arjun: I am going to take Sanskar's side. I will make sure this chudail don't cheat.

RagSan didn't react.

Nisha: Oye you can't call my friend as Chudail.

Arjun: What should I call a chudail instead of chudail?

Viren: Arjun shut up!

They both become silent. Soon Sujatha gets a big bowl with milk and drops a ring in it.

Jeevika: So basically who wins the competition is said that person will rule the other.

Arjun: That is what I am saying I want Sanskar to win.

Sanskar looks at him with raised eyebrow. Arjun chuckles.

Arjun: I am serious man!

Sanskar shakes his head in disbelief.

Jeevika: So ready one, two, three go!

Both RagSan put their hand. Sanskar just puts his hand and does nothing except moving it in the same place. Ragini keeps looking down and finding it. She finds and looks towards Sanskar's hand which is just acting to move but he is not searching. She intentionally throws the ring to his side and he gets it. He looks at Ragini who is still acting as searching and throws that side. Ragini again feels the ring. She looks up at him while he is again just moving his hand. Ragini again does the same. Sanskar looks at her and again throws it to her... Jeevika who is observing that smiles covering her mouth while others are just fighting and cheering.

Jeevika: Guys this won't complete now. Leave the game.

She says stopping everyone. All look at her being confused. RagSan avoids looking at her as they understood she got what they are doing.

Shravan: But why di?

Jeevika: You won't understand. So chachi leave it. Lets take Ragini to the room.

Nisha: (squeals) Another gift time!

All laugh at her. Sanskar shakes his head and moves outside as his phone rings. He is talking in the phone when he finds Arjun beside him. He smiles at him and continues his talks in the phone. Once done he looks at Arjun. Arjun smiles.

Arjun: Can we talk?

Sanskar nods.

Arjun: Just want to ask you to try to give a chance to her. I know you are more broken seeing her like that but you have every damn right to be angry with her. Her pain is nothing when compared to your pain but now you both are tied forever. You have to live with her whole life. You can't live like this forever right?

Sanskar: I know Arjun and I swear I am trying all the ways to overcome every pain but its not easy. You just stand in my place and think for just few seconds. But as you said now we both are tied forever I am sure we will be fine very soon.

Arjun hugs him.

Arjun: Take Care!

Sanskar: You too!

They both smile at eachother.

Sanskar: What about you then?

Arjun: (looks at him and smiles) Going to meet Nisha's family tomorrow.

Sanskar: (surprised) This is unexpected.

Arjun: (smiles) She has magic man. She has brought me out of grief just like that and I am sure I am going to fall for her head over heals.

Sanskar: I am happy for you. So this was the reason she was asking leave for a week.

Arjun chuckles and nods yes.

Sanskar: Such a drama queen she is.

He shakes his head in disbelief.

Arjun: That is the reason they both became best friends.

Sanskar: True!

Both of them laugh. They hear Jeevika calling Sanskar.

Arjun: Chalo get ready for emptying pockets this time for real. She isn't going to leave the chance.

Sanskar laughs followed by Arjun. They move inside. As soon as he went inside he is captivated by Nisha, Jeevika and Ahana.

Sanskar: What?

Ahana: Gifts!

Sanskar: (rolling his eyes) Leave me I will get them.

Ahana: No I don't trust you!

Sanskar hits his head.

Sanskar: Dad!

Dp smiles and nods. He moves inside his room and gets three gifts. Sanskar gives each for one. Jeevika hugs him.

Jeevika: Thank You Babu!

Sanskar smiles. Nisha and Ahana are already busy in opening and seeing the gift. They scream happily and hug him. He shakes his head in disbelief.

Sujatha: Girls let him go now.

They leave him.

Jeevika: Babu go she is waiting.

Sanskar: I will get a very important call in few minutes. I need to attend it. Once done I will go.

Jeevika: But...

Sanskar: Its really important!

He says interrupting her. Jeevika sighs and nods.

Jeevika: Ok we are leaving. You go as soon as possible.

Sanskar nods. All leave bidding bye. Everybody go to bed telling Sanskar to go as soon as possible. Here Ragini is sitting on the bed waiting for Sanskar. She keeps looking at the door waiting for him to come.

Sanskar takes his car and goes from there once he made sure that everybody went to their rooms. He reaches their music room and takes his guitar. He sits on the chair and starts playing it closing his eyes. He reminces all the moments with Ragini. Their first meet, The growth of their friendship, His confession, her leaving him, Truth, and everyother moment he had with her. He keeps playing closing his eyes not realsing that he had cut to his fingers and blood is flowing. His eyes are also flowing without his knowledge. He kept playing untill the string of the guitar breaks. He opens his eyes slowly and looks at the guitar. He sees blood drops and looks at his hand. He looks at it blankly and keeps the guitar aside and moves to the small cupboard. He opens the cupboard and takes the first aid box. He sits on the small couch which they had arranged to chill there whenever they feel to. He takes the cotton and antiseptic and cleans his fingers. He is just doing everything blankly. He band aids his fingers and looks at the guitar. He gets up and goes towards the guitar and cleans the blood drops on it. He keeps it back and moves back to the couch. He lays down on it and keeps staring the ceiling letting his tears flow. He didn't even try to wipe them. Slowly sleep occupied him and he goes into sleep.

On the otherside Ragini is leaning to the bed post with her same marriage attire looking at the room door waiting for his arrival. Her eyes are betraying her to stay open due to the tiredness of the rituals. She slowly drifts into sleep still sitting leaning to the bed post.
