Let's begin.....

Maya was searching for the file which had the legal rights taken for the current project. Today was the important. Sanskar is supposed to give the presentation himself. This was going to be the huge deal for which he was working really very hard.
If it gone to some wrong hands, it would be a great trouble someone might use it to destroy Sanskar.

Ragini noticed her:Any problem?
Maya:it never happened with me. Even you saw I have placed the legal papers on the locker. How could it just go somewhere?
Ragini also joins her to look for it.
Maya:I think I should check the cc camera. And investigate it.. But the program will start in 5 minutes.
Ragini:don't worry.. This papers are needed at the end of the program. So we have time.
Maya:okay Ragini you manage here.. And please inform Sanskar about this.
Ragini nods while Maya goes to check on CC camera. And Sheena was watching them over a long distance and she found out that her plan is working out. Now she had a backup plan as well to full defame Ragini's character as she watched something over her phone.

While on the other side...

Sanskar was giving the final look at presentation before it starts and Vikas was standing behind him and giving him whatsoever documents he asks for!
Sanskar:everything's perfect?
Vikas:yes Sir.
Sanskar:how did your proposal go?
Vikas:more than I expected.
Sanskar:great.
Vikas:i am curious how did you stay yesterday without any work?
Sanskar passed him a look.
Vikas:associates are here.
He wanted to escape this situation.

Vikas sees Ragini:Hey Ragini...
Ragini sees him and smiles.
Sanskar:you used to call her mam..
Vikas interrupts:that's before. Now she is a colleague cum friend to me.
Ragini:I actually wanted to tell you something sir..
She watched the investors talking and enjoying the snacks.
Ragini:actually maya mam told me to inform you. Sanskar nods as he found the matter was serious.
Ragini:legal papers were missing.
Sanskar:what?!!
Ragini:Maya mam is investigating. I think someone intentionally misplaced it because those papers were in the locker.
Vikas:I'll go and check.
Sanskar placed his palm on to his eyes:this can't be...
Ragini:I know it's a difficult hour but you have to manage in your own way.
Sanskar:but it has all the legal rights of government for this project.. Again I can't go get the same. It was really...
Ragini:I know... But you can't lose to the one who wanted your downfall. Consider this as a test to yourself.
Sanskar looks at her.
Ragini:all the best.

On the other side maya checked the footage to find a girls all olcovered with scarf and entering the room and moves out taking the file.
Maya was rewinding and watching it again and again to see who it could be since it wasn't clear.
Maya's assistant:it's Ragini's outfit. She wore the same on Saturday.
Maya looks on.
Sheena enters the scene:I knew this was supposed to happen today or tomorrow. After all what can be expected on the employee who have done this earliest as well at the khanna industries.
Maya looks at her:i think there's a misunderstanding.
Sheena:I know you won't believe me. Ask Ragini herself that why was she thrown out of her previous company?
Vikas stood shocked behind.
And he looks at Ragini beside him.

Maya looks at Ragini:Ragini..
Ragini just looks other side, it was nothing new.
Vikas looks at the video, he knew the conflict between Sheena and Ragini. But the evidence seemed pretty unclear. Before anything his boss's reputation and his hard work mattered to him, no matter who the culprit was!!!

Ragini:I did not do this, and about my previous....
Sheena interrupts :well, it seems you are expert in doing this. I knew this on the very first day itself you gonna betray us. Just say that why we're you thrown out of the previous job? Just because you messed with their legal paper.
Before Ragini could say.
Sheena :say yes or no.
Ragini moved to maya:yes, trust me it was all a mis....
Maya:Ragini I trusted you, but I am feeling betrayed.
Vikas:previous job has nothing to do here. It was all a misunderstanding. Before blaming anyone here. The matter was where are the papers. That's the most important thing that depends on all the day and nights hard work of my boss.
He just spoke in a neutral way because he never seen Ragini in a positive side also because Sanskar had changed a lot but she never recognised it or better say acting unseen. So he didn't wanted to support her having a personal grudge for not considering his feelings.

Maya:but I want to know.
Vikas:let boss clear this.
Maya:i am her boss so she meant to give explanation to me. Not Sanskar.
Vikas:but you need to wait for him.
Maya turns to Ragini:tell me Ragini if in previous job....
Ragini's short temper always came up at a crucial point:yes.. I was thrown out because of that...
Sheena just pushed her:see finally she revealed.
Maya felt disgusted of half truth and fully instigated by Sheena.
Vikas:calm down. This is not the time to fight or a blame game. Now just think how to come up with a solution... Please head up to the auditorium.
He turns to Ragini:Ragini.. Stay, no matter what. Okay?
She didn't reply.
While Sheena was instigating Maya more with some of dramatic skills.
Vikas moved from there.

Here Sanskar gave the presentation. All the way his eyes were looking for vikas.
Vikas enters.

Ragini:I have not done anything. Even the previous time I was framed.
Maya:I surely wanted to believe you but not anymore. At this moment I am firing you from the Job. Wait here until the matter gets investigated.
Sheena:I hope we don't have to involve police.
Ragini looks at her.
Maya moves out.

Once the presentation was finished.
Vikas moved to him and said in a low tone:it's a mess. You have to push the date of signing the contract.
Sanskar nods.
He gets into the talks with the investors.

Sheena smiles folding her arms on to her chest:check and mate buddy.
Ragini looks at her shocked:you did it.
Sheena:how's the surprise dude?
Ragini:you betrayed and framing it on me.
Sheena:Mr. ANANT is waiting for you to take up the job. And he would return the papers if you resign.
Ragini looks on.

And she looks at Anant who came there with maya.
Anant passed the papers to maya:yes, it's true Ragini gave it to me. But now I feared of legal action like really what if I get caught. So I just came to return.
Ragini:what? Just stop this non sense alright.
Anant:you have given this to me to defame Sanskar.
Ragini:this is not true. I have not.......
Maya asks the guards to take her.
Anant:I have returnedthis right. Don't involve police now and let her go.
While he quickly passed a smile to Sheena and she smirks in return.

Guards leave her.

Sheena:between they are in the relationship. That's why it made her ditch her boyfriend and later she got married and even ditched him for him. Today she proved true love exist. Helping him in his revenge.

Ragini sees the glass of water there. All she good do was grab the glass and slashed it on Anant. Which he didn't expected at all.
Ragini just didn't know how to justify herself.
This was all shot by a journalist.

Ragini just walked away.
Anant followed her.

**************************************

Anant holds her wrist:Ragini listen...
Ragini pushed him:what was all that...
Anant:Ragini i know i did wrong but i had no other option to free you from Sanskar.
Ragini:who asked you to free? Didn't I tell you that our relation is in between us we would watch it over. Then why did you interfere. And you also got involved with Sheena to ruin me.
Anant:because I wanted you.
Ragini:what?
Anant:I cannot see Sanskar with you. Or I can't see any other guy with you. That's w...
Ragini slapped him.
She just turned other side:why didn't I listen to Sanskar? Now you just didn't let anything that I could face him. He would also not trust me. Just don't show me your face. Get lost!
Anant didn't expect that this would end this way.

She was so confused whether to justify with Sanskar or not. Her usual character was that it was very uninteresting topic like justifying herself.
If she did, would he believe her?
Her inner voice had a very quick reply "No, he wouldn't!"

"Maheshwari's legal terms were in trouble" it was the new breaking news.

Sanskar just pushed all the things from the table breaking them.
Sanskar was fully disturbed and irritated.

Maya:I am sorry Sanskar.. I trusted Ragini so much in this matter.
Vikas informed him about all this after the investors went. Now his phone was constantly flashing their caller ID's.

Ragini stood outside his cabin she could listen the noise. All she feared was facing him. For the first time ever in her life she feared that someone would go away from her life. That particular person would not trust her like everyone else. This workaholic would choose the web of lies instead of her truth where she had no evidence to prove. But still she want to give it a try, that she don't regret later.

He just pinched bridge of his nose.
Maya:I have punished Ragini.
Vikas just mutters:you will just regret for it.
He just looks at Sanskar's rising anger.
Sheena:she is totally a money minded. Looks for her benefits. Helping her bloody lover she joined hands with him to ruin us sir. You should just not leave her.
Vikas scratched his hair.

"enough" Sanskar startled everyone with shout and anger.
Sanskar:Not a word against My Wife.
While Maya and Sheena looks shocked with some other employees.

That's when Ragini opens the door of the cabin. She wanted to justify herself to Sanskar but she went speechless and blank.
While Sheena feared and started to sweat after the revelation.

Sanskar was so angry that he did not realise her presence.Since His back was faced to her.
Sanskar: when I have personally appointed her to the job then who are you fire her or humiliate her..? She don't have to make money by bringing down her husband. She have the ability to earn that on her own.Mind it!
She was feeling too emotional that she protested with tears. She did not wanted to end up with tears. In her entire life someone really took a stand for her. All this feels Dream but this wasn't.

His anger was not over yet.
Sanskar:deal gayi bhaad Mein. All I want to know is where is Ragini?
All looks at her.
Ragini just bent her head and she closed the door. She could not stand there. She moved.

Sanskar:I would myself investigate this matter to prove you wrong, but by then I want you two to apologise to Ragini and your resignation as well.
Sanskar:vikas.
He quickly moved.
Sanskar:set my meeting with Anant soon.
He nods.
He storms out.
He was never been angry like this. The atmosphere got so silent that everyone even resisted to move an inch.

*************************************

By now Ragini was all over the news.
Ragini literally walked and sits on the swing near a beach.
She literally ended up crying.
She hated crying but she can't help herself.
When someone just pushed the swing.
And she turned and sees Ragana.
Ragini:you what are you doing here?
She immediately wiped her tears.
And Ragana sits on another swing:loser. I came to see how devasted you look. So I should party now because the result was more than expected. Congrats to me.
Ragini just looks other side.
Ragana:you are the hot topic of the city between.
Ragini:just get lost I have no enough courage to listen to you.
Ragana:no my dear step sister. I want to watch you.

Ragana just forwarded candies:do you want some?
Checking out no response from her.
Ragana:okay I will have it. For you as well.
She looks at Ragini who was sitting there.
Ragana:between don't consider me that bad. After all this I knew I will find here. And always you come here when you are hurt.
Ragini looks at her.
Ragana:I owe you a favour. For hiding my whereabouts when you knew where I was on the day of wedding.
Ragini looks at her:despite that you let me get married.
Ragana:despite that you did not tell the truth.
Ragini:I knew that you were into Aarav.
Ragana stretched her lips:I never thought I will say this to you ever.. But Thank you!
Ragini:who wants that. Because of you I had to face the lot of humiliation. I still regret for hiding the truth which cost me a lot. Trust me I am still paying for it.
Ragana laughs:sorry.. But this seems funny. Really my thoughts were funny whenever I imagined you being with the freaking Maheshwari.
Ragini glared her:he literally... A freaking Maheshwari.
Ragana:yup the same Maheshwari, for whom you are crying now.
Ragini:shut up. As long as today's trouble doesn't affect I am happy that finally i am away from him.(she remembers his words) I can't say that as well. (her tone turned like baby)
Ragana:you shut up. Your These colourful lies are worst in colour actually. You know how picky I am about the colours.
She just strecked her arms literally yawning:admit it or not you literally fell so hard for the freaking Maheshwari.
She looks at Ragini raising her eye brows: isn't it?
Ragini:why are you becoming angel of love all of a sudden?!
Ragana:because I don't want to feel guilty.
Ragini swings a little.
Ragana:opponents should be equally strong. There shouldn't be guilt, sympathy, empathy etc...
Ragini smiles nodding her head:so you came here to comfort me.
Ragana:why would I? No I just came to make the accounts equal. Nothing else.
She looks other side and smiles.
Ragana:and one more thing freaking Maheshwari is getting extra freaked searching.
Ragini:just shut up. I did not wanted this...
Ragana:oh really? You were very fast with that creepy viraj. You wanted to marry him. But this poor guy changed himself for you. This is not fair. I am on team freaking Maheshwari.
Ragini stood to go.

Ragana:All the best Step Sister. Just keep in mind that your one decision can change lot of things. Then just don't say you are alone etc etc etc.
Ragini:hey give my candies.
She literally grabbed candies from Ragana and moved.
Ragini:Thank you for the candies step sister.
Ragana:remember this doesn't mean we are friends. We are the foes.
Ragini being annoyed but turns moving backward:I want to tell that guy Aarav that he had better choices in life. May be next time whenever get the chance.
Ragana threw stones as if shooing away dogs:hash.. Hak.. Shoo.. Shoo..

To be continued....

So how's it?
