Namaskaram 🙏

*****

Ragini is sitting with pout in the passenger seat which is beside the driving seat. She is once again blindfolded.

Ragini: You are so mean Sanskar. You again blindfolded me.

She pouts. Sanskar smiles and continues his driving.

Ragini: From this moment I Hate Surprises!

She says.

Sanskar: Acha! Let me take U-Turn then!

He says smirking.

Ragini: (Hurriedly) No no! Not this one. From next time!

She says with pout. Sanskar bursts out into laughter listening her. 

Ragini: Laugh! Laugh as much as you want to. Even my time will come Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari.

Sanskar: Aww… I am scared Sweetheart!

He laughs. Ragini twists her lips and turns other side. He stops the car finally making Ragini sigh.

Ragini: (sighing) Finally!

Sanskar chuckles. He moves towards her getting down the car and helps her to get down.

Ragini: Atleast now remove this irritating thing na. Please!

Sanskar: You waited this much time can’t you wait two more minutes?

He asks her walking holding her protectively. Ragini pouts. He stops at one place.

Sanskar: Ready?

He whispers in her ear. She nods excited. He removes the blindfold and she slowly opens her eyes. Her lips broke into smile. Sanskar smiles back hugging her.

Sanskar: So finally I could fulfil your wish.

Ragini: Thank You so much Sanskar! You still remember it.

Sanskar: Ofcourse I remember. The first time when we came here you weren’t satisfied. You wanted us to have a candle light dinner under the moon light with the waves touching our feet but due to time constraints we had to leave that time just with your favourite ice-cream. But now we have so much time. We can stay till morning. So enjoy the fullest.

Ragini is smiling ear to ear seeing the beautiful view. It was the same place where he proposed her.

Ragini: But how did you arrange it in such a less time?

Sanskar: I have been planning this since ten days. Finally day before yesterday they said okay. I planned to apologize you here and settle down everything but yesterday everything happened and we sorted.

Ragini nods smiling still looking the beautiful view while Sanskar is staring her back hugging her.

Ragini: This is so beautiful Sanskar. Thank You so much!

She thanks him again. Sanskar is just looking at her.

Sanskar: I Love You!

Ragini: (looks at him) I Love You too!

Both their faces are not leaving the smiles.

Sanskar: Aren’t you hungry?

Ragini nods yes. Sanskar breaks the hug and forwards his hand. She places her hand on his smiling happily.

Sanskar: Let’s go!

Ragini nods. They both start moving towards the table that’s when Ragini noticed something.

Ragini: One chair? Where will you sit then?

She asks with smirk. Sanskar shakes his head.

Sanskar: Will show you!

Saying he sits on the chair and pulls her into his lap.

Sanskar: Problem solved!

Ragini chuckles and puts her hands around his neck joining their foreheads.

Ragini: It’s all your plan to romance with me. Isn’t it?

Sanskar: Wow! Great! You are really intelligent Sweetheart! You should get a noble prize for this!

He says teasingly. Ragini pouts and hits his chest.

Ragini: Husband shouldn’t tease his wife!

Sanskar: From where do you get such rules? You used to say boyfriend shouldn’t tease girlfriend and now husband shouldn’t tease wife. Who is teaching you all these?

Ragini: I don’t need someone to teach me. I know everything.

She flips her hair with attitude. Sanskar laughs seeing her cute face. He pulls her cheek.

Sanskar: My cutest Sweetheart!

Ragini grins.

Sanskar: You are comfortable here?

He asks indicating her sitting in his lap.

Ragini: (putting her head on his chest) 1000%

Sanskar smiles.

Sanskar: Then let’s have dinner.

Ragini nods. She serves the food in the plate while Sanskar keeps staring her.

Ragini: (while serving) How much you will stare me?

Sanskar: (smiles) The more I stare you the more I want to. You have a problem?

Ragini forwards a morsel to him shaking her head. Sanskar smiles and takes the morsel. He then feeds her. They complete their dinner. Once done Ragini starts searching for something on the table. Sanskar smirks as he knows that she can search only for ice cream and nothing other than that. And he also knows that there is no ice cream.

Sanskar: (acting confused) What are you searching for Sweetheart?

Ragini looks at him and pouts. Sanskar chuckles.

Sanskar: No more ice cream today Mrs. Sanskar. You had a lot since morning.

Ragini: (puppy face) One Last please!

Sanskar shakes his head as no. Ragini pouts and gets up from his lap. She moves away from there showing that she is angry. Sanskar smiles and follows her. She stands at one place showing her back to him by folding her hands to her chest. The cool sea water are touching her legs and going back playing with her. Sanskar moves towards her and back hugs her. She struggles and moves out of his embrace.

Sanskar: Arey!

He again moves towards her and back hugs her. She wriggles but this time he doesn’t let her go. She smirks and stamps his leg lightly. He leaves her wincing in pain. She smiles teasingly and moves again. He huffs and again moves towards her. She is still showing her back to him. He stands back of her and thinks for few seconds then immediately starts tickling her making her laugh.

Ragini: Sanskar stop… stop… st…hahaha…stop…

She speaks in between her laughs while Sanskar continues tickling.

Sanskar: Say that you aren’t angry on me.

He smirks still tickling her. Ragini is about to fall but he holds her through waist and pulls her towards him. Ragini beats his chest playfully. Sanskar chuckles.

Sanskar: (cups her face) I don’t want to take any risk about your health Sweetheart. Already you ate so much of ice cream since morning.

Ragini is staring him lovingly.

Sanskar: Still angry?

He asks as she isn’t speaking anything. Ragini cups his face and starts moving towards him. Sanskar looks confused but when he realised what might happen next his heart started beating fast. He closes his eyes. He also moves towards her. Ragini closes her eyes as soon as their lips meet. They pour the whole love they had for eachother in their first ever kiss. A lone tear escapes Sanskar’s eye which Ragini wipes still kissing him. Once they felt they are lack of breathe they break the kiss joining their foreheads panting heavily.

Sanskar: I Love You!

Ragini: I Love You too Sanskar!

He just hugs her tight keeping her in his embrace. Ragini caresses his back.

Ragini: I promise Sanskar there will never be any situation where we have to stay away from each other. I promise I will not leave you till my last breath. This time I will not break my promise.

Sanskar’s eyes drop tears. He wipes them away and breaks the hug. He cups her face and kisses her forehead lovingly.

Sanskar: Let’s not talk about past anymore. It’s only about our future.

Ragini smiles and nods yes. Sanskar smiles seeing her smile.

Ragini: (forwarding her hand) Will you come on a walk with me Mr. Maheshwari?

Sanskar smiles and puts his hand on hers. They both start walking holding each other’s hand in the moon light letting the waves touch their hands.

Ragini: I wanted us to do lots of things as boyfriend and girlfriend. But all those went unfulfilled.

She pouts. Sanskar looks at her.

Sanskar: Like?

Ragini: Like... Going out at night without anybody’s knowledge.

Sanskar: That was how I proposed you Pagal!

Ragini: No no no. We both weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend then. You took me to propose. So it didn’t get fulfilled.

Sanskar chuckles.

Sanskar: Then?

Ragini: Go to a tour secretely.

Sanskar: Everything secretely. Did you think jiju will say no to our relation?

Ragini: No I didn’t think so but Nani. She won’t send us alone anywhere before marriage. It would be adventurous.

She smiles sheepishly. Sanskar laughs and nods. 

Sanskar: Then?

Ragini: Kiss here! The way we did few minutes ago.

She says with slight blush. Sanskar smiles.

Sanskar: Got fulfilled. Two things got fulfilled unknowingly. One left. Next.

Ragini giggles.

Ragini: Steal ice cream and run away.

Sanskar: (immediately leaves her hand and looking at her shocked) Seriously!

Ragini nods giggling. Sanskar shakes no continuously.

Sanskar: This will never get fulfilled not in this life.

Ragini looks at him pouting.

Ragini: You are so mean!

Saying she hugs his hand.

Sanskar: Say next!

Ragini: I won’t!

She says angrily.

Sanskar: Arey! Say na!

Ragini: Huh! Only one is left. That is sleep on the top of the car on a hill top in your embrace.

Sanskar: What kind of wishes are these yaar?

Ragini: They are cute na! I know!

She says grinning. Sanskar chuckles.

Sanskar: So let’s make a wish list. First one to come out at night secretely. I fulfilled today because nobody knows that we are out.

Ragini grins and nods yes.

Sanskar: Second one is tour. Let’s go to honeymoon without telling anyone.

He winks at her. She laughs and nods okay. He smiles.

Sanskar: Third one is kiss! That you yourself fulfilled.

Ragini blushes and nods. Sanskar laughs.

Sanskar: Stealing! This I can’t assure you!

He warns her. She twists her lips. He chuckles.

Sanskar: Last one we can go even now. It’s your wish to stay here or to get the next wish fulfilled.

Ragini: (excited) Let’s go then.

Sanskar smiles.

Sanskar: (pulling her towards him) I also have a wish.

Ragini: Really! Tell me.

He takes her into his arms in bridal style.

Sanskar: To carry my Sweetheart in my arms as much as I can. I will keep carrying you till I become old and my hands lose the strength to carry you.

Ragini: (innocently) Even if I become thrice of the weight I am now?

Sanskar: Are you planning to?

Ragini nods yes muffling her laugh.

Sanskar: Then I guess I should increase my Gym time. You become five times also I will carry you.

Ragini smiles brightly and kisses his cheek tight. They reach the car. He places her in the car and takes himself the driving seat.

Sanskar: So ready?

Ragini nods yes vigorously. He starts driving. Soon they reach the place where Sanskar went on the day of the revelation of truth. He stops the car and they both gets down.

Ragini: (looking around) Wowww… this place is so beautiful Sanskar!

Sanskar smiles.

Sanskar: I know! This place is so peaceful too.

Ragini nods.

Ragini: Let’s go up.

She says looking at the car top excited. Sanskar nods. He helps her to climb the car top and then himself gets on it. Ragini lays and widens her arms asking Sanskar to join her. He smiles and lays beside her. He takes her into his embrace putting her head on his chest. She smiles hearing his heart beat.

Ragini: How do you know this place?

Sanskar: In college four of us bunked the college one day just to have a long drive. At that time we found it. From then this has become our favourite place. We come here whenever we are low. Infact I was here on the day I got to know the truth.

Ragini clutches his shirt tight and just hums. Sanskar caresses her hair.

Ragini is staring the moon laying on Sanskar's chest while he is staring her glowing face. Both of them missed being in each other’s embrace. They stayed silent hearing the sounds of insects around and their heart beats. The sound of calm wind felt like a soothing music. The cool breeze is hitting their bodies making them feel fresh. Both of them fell asleep staring their respective moons (Ragini, the moon in the sky and Sanskar,  his personal moon, Ragini!)

****

The first sun rays hit them disturbing their peaceful sleep. Both of them open their eyes at a time to see each other. Both of them smile happily.

Both: (in union) Good morning!

Both of them chuckle and Ragini hugs him.

Sanskar: Let’s go home now.

Ragini nods. They get down and Sanskar drives back while Ragini keeps speaking about how she spent in US in those two years and about her friends there. Sanskar keeps listening everything keenly because he doesn’t want to feel that he doesn’t know any particular part of her life. He wants to know everything, every bit of her life.
