banner by me😃 PART 1 She unlocked the door and as soon as she stepped outside her home her eyes fell on her dadi maa may be she was performing her morning prayer...she tried to give her a heart warming smile but her dadi maa looked at her with hatered before looking away...she then looked towards the woman who is her maa, she unlike her dadi maa smiled at her but this time she couldn't return it back and then her baba and dada ji came in her view they starred at her helplessly while she just sighed inwardly showing nothing and turned to lock the door before leaving
She made her way outside badi, wearing a green kurti which reached her thighs and tides and a shawl around her shoulder to save her from the chilling morning... she was about to call out for a rikshaw when a car came in her view, stopping just beside her and then came out Sanskar and Swara from the car much to her please, she smiled inwardly as it's been long she last met them 'how are you ragini?' Asked swara approaching her and she realized that this is not going right 'I am good swara...it's good to see you both.. I am sorry I have to go office...bye' she said altogether to not to drag this little unintentional meeting and turned to go but was stopped yet again 'ragini...will you mind if we drop you..actually we were going there only' sanskar said, she turned and gave them a smile ' thank you but no need to lie sanskar and I can go myself, I am habitual so It's not a problem at all and now will you please ex cuse me? ' she answered and they sighed
'Ragini we want to drop you...let's just not argue, you let us drop you and we won't waste your time' 'you are always this stubborn swara... fine, I will come but i am agreeing only because i am getting late and you two aren't making anything better for me... ' she replied receiving a wide smile from her and then they left making their way towards her office...
'How is sunny?' Ragini asked 'he is good... will be start schooling from next month and yeah he miss you a lot' she answered and Ragini chuckled 'like really... he had hardly met me no wait he never met me actually and I don't think that I even exist for him' she said as a matter of fact 'ragini just because you wanted to stay away from us doesn't means we stayed away from our ragini...sunny knows very well about her ragini massi and also wish to meet you soon..' swara replied wiping away the painful smile from ragini's lips forcing her to look out in the window...
'Ragini how about we plan a holiday? It's been so long since you accompanied us anywhere?...actually very long... just you, swara , me and sunny' sanskar asked 'you will also get a chance to be with sunny' he added but met with silence in reply
'Good idea sanskar...I accompany you and then one more life will become miserable because of me...sunny Is a kid...let him stay happy and not come near me..I can only give pain to people in return of their love for me so it's better to stay away from him and everyone sanskar...' she said painfully and they choosed to remain quite in response 'oh we have reached ...stop here thank you' she said a moment later and sanskar stopped the car 'thank you for dropping me and please next time I won't give in...you both know that how much happy everyone are with me not being a part of their lives...let it be this way only please I don't want to hurt anyone anymore' 'you aren't doing anything like that ragini' 'you can't guarantee swara...' 'ragini yo...' 'swara I have choosed this life for me...this is my punishment for hurting him, for hurting everyone...let it be like this...good bye and please stay away from me' she said at the end and walked away and soon disappeared behind the doors
'Sanskar she should know that she don't deserve this...she has suffered more than she should had...' swara said helplessly and sanskar just patted her shoulder trying to console her knowing that he can't help her too

Ragini starred at the ceiling as her mind traveled back to her past when everything got over
She remembered how laksh pretended to forget everything and move on with her, how he took her signatures on the divorce paper and taking away everything from her threw her out of his life... she was broken beyond repair, the only person for whom she turned against the world, for whom she played with her sister's life, for whom she forgot everyone else, for whom she turned a stranger to her innocent soul, the same person broke her
But this time she didn't stood up to fight back in fact she accepted defeat and returned to baadi... for weeks she was like a lifeless person having nothing in life but slowly yet strongly she took a decision, of her punishment, she sat back and counted her infinite mistakes of past and not knowing how to overcome them she came to an overall conclusion... no one deserves a person like her, not as a daughter, sister or wife then what's the need to impose such relations over anyone
She packed her bags to leave baadi but shomi and swara's continuous pleads forced her to stop and thus she just shifted to dida's house but a promise was made that no one from them neither the maheshwiri family will be in contact with her and reluctantly they agreed but sometimes she herself let go of that promise having un urge to see her family, mostly when it's swara who approach her
She was out of her thoughts with the ring of telephone...silently thanking the other person for breaking her revive she picked up the call 'hello Malik Construction' she greeted in her professional way not letting anyone get even a slightest of idea that she was a lost bird a while ago
'Hello...can I speak to Mr.Malik' the other person requested and she gasped...this voice seemed damned familiar, no actually it's him, she can recognize his voice now also even after these five years
'Can I know who is it speaking? ' she asked hoping against hope that it isn't him
'It's Mr.Laksh Maheshwiri... I and Mr.Malik were going to discuss the deal for which I came to Kolkata so I just need to fix the meeting for it' he explained and after getting it confirmed that it's him she just lost herself in his voice, feeling slightly content after what felt like ages... her eyes turning wet as a tear rolled down her cheek
'Uhh you there mam?' She heard him and suddenly realization dawned upon her ... the reality of today hit her and she took a deep breath
'Oh yes I am Mr.Maheshwiri...so it's just that Mr.Malik is a little bit busy and thus I can't connect you to him for now, I will inform him about your call and of course as soon as he will be aware about it, we will give you a call for further discussion...I hope I am sounding clear? ' she said and asked at the end not trusting her voice but still she was surprised that how she handled her emotions in check
'Well I am convinced...I will be waiting for the call by the way can I know who are you?' He asked at the end
'I am Mr.Malik's PA Ragini' she replied not trying to sound unprofessional at any cost
'Just Ragini?' Was his next question
'Yes...Just Ragini Sir...Good Bye, have a good day' was her reply before she disconnected the call
Sighing she closed her eyes and placed her head at the back of her chair so he is back into city, but didn't he told her once that he will never come back here...let it be ragini, it doesn't matter what he is doing here and of course why he didn't followed what he promised, it doesn't just matter at all...what matters is that he is some no one to you now just like others...just be stuck there
'Ragini' she was called.. she opened her eyes and looked up to meet her boss concern gaze upon her... Samar Malik, her boss, in his late twenties was one successful business man of India currently managing everything from Kolkata but his vast business was spread across the world...
'yes samar' she answered still lost 'are you ohkay? You seem quite lost... you need a day off?' He asked and she nodded a no straightaway 'no no samar...I am fine..no need for that' 'but you don't seem like that' he spat back concerned 'nothing...I promise, it's just a severe memory that came out of nowhere...trust me I am ohkay and yeah I just got a call from some Mr.maheshwiri who was asking for us to set up a meeting with him for some business' she said changing the topic and was happy that he let the other discussion go
'Oh yes laksh...we met in a conference meeting last year in delhi...as we had a great time we decided now to come with a good business deal to know other better...and he is quite dedicating too...hard working man you see...so yes call him and set our meeting for tomorrow 2 p.m..' he ordered 'yes boss' she answered seriously 'you again going there?' he commented with a raised eye brow and she chuckled 'not at all samar...it's just comes out of habbit at time of work you see...ignore that please' she said with a genious smile and he smiled back 'ignored then' he said before making his way back to his cabin... her smiled was wiped away as he disappeared behind the doors and she taking her own good time finally decided to do the work she was assigned with... Laksh which was...
