Two days later. All are home as it is Sunday. Sanskar is feeding Ragini her breakfast who is making faces. He doesn't have an option other than feeding her forcefully. VirIka, Dp and Nani are happy looking at them. Ragini is grinning in mind as it was her plan to make him feed her.

Sanskar: (in mind) Don't know how I fall for this kiddo!

Thinking he shakes his head in disbelief.

Sanskar: I am going to practise. Tomorrow I have a concert.

He says wiping her mouth.

Ragini: (pouts) But it's Sunday!

Sanskar: So?

Ragini: It's a holiday.

She says grinning. Sanskar shakes his head in disbelief forwarding her medicines. Her fever is not completely down.

Sanskar: Go to sleep after half an hour. Jiju if she doesn't listen call me. I will come immediately.

Ragini: If you will come then I will not listen only!

She says grinning. All chuckle while Sanskar shakes his head. He moves towards the door when Nisha....

Nisha: Bhooo!

He looks at her with bored expression. Arjun laughs at that. Sanskar hugs Arjun smiling.

Nisha: (pouting) So mean!

Sanskar: Now I am scared!

He says looking at her with scared expression. Arjun laughs hifing with Sanskar. Nisha stamps her foot and moves inside. Arjun and Sanskar chuckle.

Sanskar: Finally remembered her. I think last time you came was when you returned from Nisha's house.

Arjun: Trying to fulfill my girl's demands.

He says chuckling. Sanskar shakes his head.

Sanskar: Chalo.

Arjun nods with smile and they go inside.

Ragini: You didn't go?

She asks with grin. Sanskar chuckles.

Nisha: You were going somewhere?

Sanskar: Practise!

Arjun: (sits beside Ragini) So madam fever gone?

Ragini pouts and shakes her head as no.

Arjun: Went to hospital again?

Sanskar: Appointment is in the evening Arjun.

Arjun nods ok.

Ragini: And why did you remember me today?

She asks with frown looking at Arjun and Nisha. She twists her lips. Nisha hugs her.

Nisha: I missed you!

Ragini: Jhooti! If you have Ajju beside you, you don't remember anybody!

She twists her lips again. Nisha looks at Arjun who smiles seeing her. She smiles seeing his loving gaze.

Ragini: See... See now also you both are romancing with your eyes.

They both avert their eyes making everybody laugh. Sanskar's phone rings.

Sanskar: (takes the call) I am coming now don't start your lecture please Ahana!

He says before Ahana can say something. She huffs and cuts the call.

Sanskar: Guys I need to leave. Will catch you later.

They nod with smile.

Sanskar: And you go to sleep after few minutes. No excuses.

He says strictly to Ragini. She pouts and nods ok. He bids bye to them and leaves.

Two days passed. Ragini is making her hair standing in front of the dressing table. She is fine now. Now she is getting ready for the party which Sanskar has asked her for. It's been organised by one of their clients for finishing the project successfully. Sanskar enters the room looking at his phone.

Sanskar: Ragini are you ready?

He asks still looking into the phone.

Ragini: hmm...

She says still in the thoughts that are running in her mind. Sanskar looks up and his eyes pop out seeing her all gorgeous in the black backless dress. His breath struck.

Sanskar: (murmurs) She is planning to kill me with her looks.

He instantly moves towards her and turns her towards him. Ragini looks confused. He checks her from top to bottom. He moves her hair a little and checks something. He looks around and takes the sindhoor box. He immediately fills her foreline with a bit more amount of sindhoor making sure it is visible.

Sanskar: From now remember if you are not wearing your mangalsoothr put sindhoor a bit dark.

Ragini looks at him without blinking her eyes. He looks away and goes from there asking her to come fast. Ragini grins seeing his possessive nature.

Ragini: (looking at herself in mirror) He is POSSESSIVE!

She dances all around the room happily. He calls her again. She immediately runs taking her phone.

They get settled in the car. Sanskar controls himself not to get lost in her while driving. Ragini smiles observing him, from corner of her eyes, who is stealing glances of her.

Sanskar: (in mind) Concentrate Sanskar. Concentrate on driving. And you stupid heart stop beating so fast. I am still angry on her!

He pouts mentally. They reach the venue. They get down and start moving. When they are walking towards the party area Sanskar holds her hand suddenly. She looks at the hands and smiles brightly. She moves close to him and walks beside him. Sanskar smiles feeling her move close to him.

They enter the party and get mingled with others. Sanskar introduces Ragini to the client's wife and she keeps gossipping with Ragini. Somebody calls Sanskar so he goes from there excusing himself. Ragini gets irritated of the woman's gossips but she keeps smiling whenever she has to and looking around for Sanskar.

Mrs. Mehra: Oho so much in love with your husband! Heard that you are newly married!

Ragini: (smiles) Yes less than two months.

Mrs. Mehra: Aww... You both look so cute as a couple.

Ragini smiles. Mrs. Mehra continues her praisings on RagSan as a couple. On the other side Sanskar is talking to Mr. Mehra when Mr. Mehra's daughter comes towards them.

Riya: May I have a honour to dance with you Mr. Handsome?

She asks looking at Sanskar.

Sanskar: (smiling) I am so sorry Miss. Riya!

Riya: Oh come on don't be a spoilsport. It's just one dance.

Sanskar was about to deny again but Mr. Mehra also asks him to go on. He still was about to deny but Riya holds his hand and drags him without letting him speak. He tries alot to come out of her clutches but she already got them on to the stage by putting his hands around her waist and holding him through shoulders. He sighs and dances not wanting to make scene infront of all.

Ragini who is talking to Mrs. Mehra looks at Sanskar and Riya.

Mrs. Mehra: Aww my daughter! Hayee they look cute. Cha! If he isn't married and my daughter is not engaged I would ask his hand for my daughter!

Ragini burns in jealousy. She moves from there still looking at Sanskar who is now smiling at something which Riya spoke.

Ragini: (murmurs) Few minutes ago she was calling him and me as cute couple. Now she is calling him and her daughter as cute couple. Cute! My foot! Only Sanskar and me are cute!

She looks at Sanskar now who is laughing along with Riya who is also laughing. She burns and looks otherside. She is now standing at the drink counter. She just takes the drink near to her and gulps it in one go still looking at Sanskar and Riya. She sees Sanskar speaking something to Riya bending to her ears. She takes another glass and gulps it again. She again gets back to Sanskar and Riya who are dancing gracefully. She gulps another glass. Finally the song gets over. Sanskar and Riya gets down the stage.

Ragini feels her vision blur. She sits on the chair there holding her head which started to spin. Here Sanskar places Riya's hand in her fiance's hand who is glaring her for dancing with Sanskar but not with him. She teases her fiance who whinnes making Sanskar laugh. He wishes congratulations on their marriage which is going to happen next week and moves from there searching for Ragini. He looks for Mrs. Mehra but finds her with someone. He frowns and looks around and finds her nowhere. He gets worried suddenly and starts searching her moving all the possible ways when suddenly he hears her voice from the garden area.

Ragini: (drunk and hiccups) one... (Hiccup) Two... (Hiccup) Three...

She is swayimg while counting the starts standing in the garden. Sanskar's eyes widened in shock. He immediately runs towards her.

Sanskar: Ragini!

Ragini who is lost in counting the stars jerk and stumbles but Sanskar holds her before she could fall. He sighs seeing her safe in his arms. Ragini looks at his face without blinking.

Ragini: (drunk voice) Who are you?

Sanskar: (making her straight) Ragini it's me Sanskar!

Ragini: (hiccups) Sanskar! (Hiccups) Your name is also Sanskar! Woww... That's so exciting. (She hiccups) Two persons with same name!

Sanskar: (confused to himself) What's so exciting if two persons have same name! She has drunk alot it seems. Don't know how she got drunk!

He gets worried and looks above but didn't find her.

Sanskar: (worried) Oh No!

He starts running again looking for her when he sees her walking stumbling on the road. Thank god it is late in the night and it is isolated. He immediately rushes towards her and holds her hand.

Sanskar: Ragini stop!

She stops and looks at him.

Ragini: (smiles) You again! Aww you are following me to protect me. You are sooo good just like my husband! You know his name is also Sanskar. I think whoever is named as Sanskar are good. My husband is also sooooo goodddd. He is soooooo handsome. He is soooooo cute. He loves me sooooooooo much! You know how much?

She asks looking at him. He shakes as no.

Ragini: How many stars are there in the sky?

Sanskar looks confused. He was about to speak but Ragini only speaks.

Ragini: Infinite! Means my Sanskar also loves me like infinity! His love never gets reduced. But...

She stops getting sad suddenly. Sanskar is just listening her words looking her lovingly and walking along with her holding her carefully. He looks at her sad face.

Sanskar: But?

He asks as he wants her to speak everything now. He knows she will speak everything she wants to in the effect of alcohol. She neither tried to speak her heart out nor he let her speak. He thought may be this is something which will let her heart. Ragini blinks her eyes twice.

Ragini: (poutd) But he is angry with me now. He is veryyyy angry. Did you see someone who loves in anger too?

She asks pointing him. Sanskar doesn't say anything.

Ragini: I know you didn't see. But my Sanskar loves even in anger. Even his anger shows how much he loves me. You know why is he angry on me?

Sanskar again doesn't say anything.

Ragini: (hitting her head) How will you know? I will only tell you. Because of me only. I didn't trust him. I am so bad that I made him far from his di ma in whom his life lies. I am very bad no?

Sanskar shakes his head as no.

Ragini: You are lieing. I am bad if you accept or not. That is why I didn't trust him. I hurt him so much. He is right. He should be veryyy angry on me. But you know now his anger got reduced a little. He is so sweet that he forgave his di ma too. He is so sweet that he is getting ready to forgive me too. I also promised myself I will never distrust him. I will always love him like he does. I am very lucky to get him.

Sanskar: How do you know he is going to forgive you?

Sanskar asks looking at her face that is shining in moon light.

Ragini: (smiles) Because he is my Sanskar! He cannot be angry on me for much time. I am his life.

Sanskar smiled hearing her answer.

Ragini: But now I am angry!

She says making a cute angry face. Sanskar looks confused.

Ragini: He is an idiot danced with that chudail. How dare he? I am veryyyy angry on him. He should ask sorry then only I will forgive him.

Sanskar smiles seeing her jealous face.

Sanskar: Don't worry he will ask sorry and also get you your favourite icecream.

Ragini: (sad face) I don't eat ice cream any more. I stopped eating ice cream since the day I thought he cheated me. It always reminds me of him. Now also I am not eating as a punishment to myself for not trusting my Sanskar. I deserve no ice cream in this whole life. I hate myself for not trusting him and hurting him.

She says as her eyes flow with tears. Sanskar was dumbstruck listening her. The girl who cannot stay away from ice cream even for a day has not ate it since more than two and half years just because it reminds her of him. Now she is punishing herself for not trusting him. He knows how much she loves ice cream. But she sacrificed it just for him. His eyes are also teary. He looks at her who is feeling dizzy. He lifts her in his arms while she fell asleep as soon as she is in his arms.

Sanskar moves towards the car and places her in the passenger seat. He bends and fastens her seat belt and looks at her face.

Sanskar: Your Sanskar is going to forgive you soon. And he is also going to feed you your favourite ice cream. Get ready for the love again sweetheart. Once I return from the music trip next week you will get the surprise.

He bends and kisses her forehead.

Sanskar: I Love You sweetheart!

He says looking at her calm face. He smiles and moves back. He closes the door and moves towards the driving seat. He gets in to the car and starts driving smiling and frequently taking glance of her.

Sanskar: (shaking his head) You were jealous that I danced with her!

He chuckles lightly but then his eyes turn teary.

Sanskar: How did you survive without ice cream all these years sweetheart? It's hurting me the most getting to know about it. I promise you that you will get all the ice cream to compensate all these months.

He chuckles. He stops the car and gets down once they reached the home. He picks her in his arms and takes her to the room. He makes her lay on the bed and goes to change. He changes and lays down beside her staring her. Today he himself takes her into his embrace and closes his eyes smiling at his girl who snuggled into him in sleep.

*****
