Another OS from my side, guys. Here, I'm gonna relate two rival countries, two beating hearts that belong to two different countries. I'm gonna merge two borders. Is love so weak that a mere border can decide its fate? Will love fall prey to the hatred and enmity between two countries? Can't two people from different countries fall in love with each other? Does love only have its limit to one country? This story is about two different rival nationalities, India-Pakistan and two people from these two countries.
Laksh Kohli (Because I'm a die hard Virat Kohli fan): The captain of Indian Cricket Team!
Ragini Abdullah Khan: A simple middle class Pakistani girl.
The story starts with the announcement of an Indo-Pak match in a stadium of Pakistan (sorry I don't know the name of any Pakistani stadium as I belong to India). The Indian Cricket Team has arrived Pakistan. Laksh Kohli is the captain of the team. After practicing for about 2 hours, Laksh thinks of going for an evening walk. As he reaches the lake side, he sees a very beautiful girl (with a hijaab) feeding the sparrows. He hides behind a tree and keeps staring at her. This girl is Ragini. She had tears in her eyes.
Ragini (to the birds, crying)- Humari gustaakhi kya hai? Ham jaante hai ki hamare Ammi aur Abbu ne hame janam nahi diya hai. Par hum toh unse apni jaan se bhi zyaada mohabbat karte hai na? Toh phir kyu? Kyu woh hume naukraani ki tarah rakhte hai? Kyu humare aur Choti (her sister) ke beech fark karte hai? Kyu? Kya khoon ka rishta hi sab kuch hota hai? Dil ke rishte koi maaine nahi rakhte? Kya mohabbat ki iss duniya mein koi keemat nahi?
Suddenly, she hears a voice talking from behind. This voice is of Laksh.
Laksh- Hai na! Pyaar ki toh iss duniya ko sabse zyaada zaroorat hai.
Ragini gets shocked to see Laksh. She stars stammering.
Ragini (stammering)- La...La...Laksh Kohli? Aa...Aap wahi Laksh...Laksh hai na? Ind...Indian team ke cap...cap...captain?
Laksh- Jee ha, main wahi Laksh hu. Par aap itna ghabra kyu rahi hai?
All of a sudden, Ragini faints and Laksh holds her before she could fall. Laksh sprinkles drops of water on her face to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes and gets shocked again.
Ragini- Matlab hum...hum khwaab nahi dekh rahe the. Aap...Aap hak...hakeeqat mein humare saamne hai. Hume laga hum...hum khwaab dekh rahe the!
Laksh laughs out loud.
Laksh- Jee nahi madam ji, aap sapna nahi dekh rahi thi. Main sach mein aapke saamne khada hu aur aap iss waqt meri baaho mein leti hui hai
Ragini feels embarrassed and immediately goes away from Laksh. She keeps looking down out of nervousness.
Ragini- Hume humari gustaakhi ke liye maaf kar dijiye, sir. Pata nahi kaise aapko dekh kar hum...hum beshosh ho gaye!
Laksh- Accha? Mujhe nahi pata tha ki Pakistan mein bhi mere fans hai.
Ragini- Arrey, aapko nahi pata sir, bohot si Pakistani ladkiya aapke peeche deewani hai. Bohot saari ladkiya apni almaari mein kitaabein kam aur aapki tasveerein zyaada rakhti hai.
Ragini was talking about herself but she doesn't tell Laksh that she is also a fan of him. Laksh, however, understands it by himself.
Laksh (raising an eyebrow)- Accha? Aur ye baat aapko kaise pata?
Ragini again gets nervous.
Ragini- Woh...Ummm hum...hum chalte hai. Ammi humari raah dekh rahi hogi ghar pe. Khuda Haafiz!
Laksh- Arrey, naam toh batati jaao apna!
Ragini doesn't say anything and runs away.
Laksh (to himself)- Chali gayi! Koi baat nahi, iska naam toh main pata karke hi rahoonga. Par kaise? Ek kaam karta hu, kal phir isi time iss jagah aata hu. Kya pata, kal phir dikh jaaye?
Laksh then smiles and goes back to his teammates.
Rohit (Sharma lol)- Yaar Lucky, kaha tha tu?
Laksh- Nahi yaar, bas thoda ghoomne gaya tha! Chal abhi practice continue karte hai.
Rohit- Haa chal!
Laksh and his team mates keep practicing really hard for the match. Next day, the same thing happened but Laksh's eyes constantly kept going to the clock. He was waiting for the clock to struck 4 P.M. As soon as the 4th hour started, Laksh went out in a hurry.
Laksh- Guys, aaj ke liye ho gaya! Baaki ka kal karenge.
Shikhar (Dhawan lol)- Lucky, tu pagla gaya hai kya? Bhool gaya, agle hafte match hai? Woh bhi Pakistan ke saath! Haar gaye toh lautne ke baad India wale khoon choos lenge humara.
Laksh- Wahi toh baat hai na, yaar! Ek cricketer ki life hi aisi hai. Kitni bhi koshish kar le, kitna bhi apna mooh haat tudwa le, kitne bhi matches jeet le, saala ek match haarne par apne hi log ghar par patthar phekne lag jaate hai!
Shikhar- Abb kya kar sakte hai, bhai? Log aise hi hai. Cricketers ko match jeetne par jitna pyaar, jitni respect milti hai, match haarne par utni hi gaaliya bhi milti hai! Khair, jo hoga dekhte hai. Tu jaa, jaha jaa raha tha!
Laksh looks at the time.
Laksh- Arrey haa yaar, main toh bhool hi gaya tha! Chal, baad mein milte hai.
Laksh goes to the lake side. He looks here and there but doesn't find Ragini. Thinking that she hadn't come to the lake side that day, Laksh decides to go when his eyes fall on someone praying namaaz behind the tree. A smile automatically comes to his lips on seeing Ragini. He walks towards her and keeps watching her silently with a smile while she keeps praying namaaz. After a while, Ragini opens her eyes and gets shocked to see Laksh standing in front of her.
Ragini- Aap? Aap phirse yaha?
Laksh gets nervous. He didn't know what to say.
Laksh (nervous)- Uhhh woh...woh main...actually woh main hawa khaane aaya tha! You know, lake side ki hawa taazi hoti hai.
Ragini laughs. She understands that Laksh is lying.
Ragini- Accha? Waise humara naam Ragini hai. Kal aapne poocha tha, par hum bata nahi paaye!
Laksh- Ragini? Par...Par tum toh Muslim ho na? Aur yeh naam toh Hindu lagta hai.
Ragini- Haa, pata hai! Shayad Ammi Abbu ko ye naam pasand aa gaya hoga. Waise aap ye hindu Muslim waali baatein maante hai?
Laksh- Haa? Oh come on! India mein bohot log Muslim hai. Mere bohot Muslim friends bhi hai. Main ye sab Hindu Muslim bakwaas baatein nahi maanta. Bas thoda ajeeb laga sunkar ki tumhara naam Ragini hai.
Ragini simply smiles on hearing this. After a while, she and Laksh sit on the cold green grass near the lake. They keep watching the beautiful lake.
Ragini- Pata hai Laksh, hum kal yaha apni takleef baatne aaye the. Jab bhi hum iss taalaab (lake) ko dekhte hai na, toh mann ko bohot sukoon milta hai. Thodi der ke liye hi sahi, hum apni saari takleef bhool jaate hai. Aur yaha taalaab ke paas rone se kisi ko humare aasu bhi nahi dikhte. Yahi ek khaas baat hai iss taalaab ki.
Laksh- Iss taalaab ki ek aur khaas baat hai.
Ragini- Kaun si baat?
Laksh looks at Ragini and smiles.
Laksh- Iss taalaab ne hum dono ko milwaaya!
Ragini also looks at Laksh. They both start feeling an unknown bond growing between them. They start realising that both of the them are in love with each other but they were scared to say it. For the next 5 days, they keep meeting each other like this. Even during the practice hours, Laksh's eyes only keep waiting for the clock to struck 4. But mouths are given to speak, they say! This is indeed true. People start badmouthing about Ragini and Laksh's relationship. Even Ragini's parents (step parents) start questioning her.
Ragini's Ammi (angrily shouts)- Besharam! Sharam nahi aayi tujhe uss hindustani cricketer ke saath aapna mooh kaala karte hue? Arrey, mohabbat hi karni thi toh kisi Pakistani insaan se kar leti. Iss poore Pakistan mulk mein koi nahi mila tujhe? Poore mohalle mein naak kata di humari!
Ragini (crying)- Ammi, humari baat suniye! Haa ye hakeeqat hai ki hum Laksh se beintahaan mohabbat karte hai. Par khuda ke waaste humara yakeen kijiye Ammi, humare aur unke beech kuch nahi hai. Woh humse mohabbat nahi karte hai, Ammi!
Ragini's Ammi- Mohabbat nahi karta? Mohabbat nahi karta toh roz tujhse mulaqaat karne ke liye taalaab ke paas kyu aata hai woh? Kya takleef hai use? Kyu tujhse ek pal ki bhi judaai use bardaasht nahi hoti?
These words hit Ragini's brain. She keeps wondering if what her mother said was true.
Ragini (in mind)- Kya Ammi ki baatein hakeeqat hai? Kya Laksh hakeeqat mein humse mohabbat karte hai? Kya hum unke dil ki baat ko samajh nahi paaye?
Suddenly, Ragini's Abbu enters.
Ragini's Abbu- Kya ho raha hai ye sab? Zubeida (Ragini's mother), kya hai ye sab? Kyu khafa ho Ragini se? Kya gustaakhi ki hai isne?
Ragini's Ammi- Khafa na ho toh kya kare? Jaante hai, kya gul khilaaye hai aapki beti ne? Mohabbat karne ki gustaakhi ki hai isne. Aur woh bhi ek aise ladke se jiske saath iska koi bhawishya nahi hai. Hum toh pehle hi kehte the, ye ladki ek na ek din zaroor qayaamat laayegi!
Ragini's Abbu also gets angry.
Ragini's Abbu (angrily)- Kisse? Kisse mohabbat karne ki gustaakhi ki hai isne? Kaun hai woh nalaayak?
Ragini (crying)- Abbu, ek baar khuda ke liye humari baat sun lijiye!
Ragini's Abbu (shouts)- Chup! Hum tujhse baat nahi kar rahe hai. Zubeida, tum bataao! Kaun hai woh?
Ragini's Ammi- Laksh Kohli, Hindustani Cricket Team ka captain!
Ragini's father gets shocked.
Ragini's Abbu (shouts)- Kya? Laksh Kohli?
Ragini's father slaps her hard.
Ragini's Abbu- Besharam! Tujhe mohabbat karne ke liye koi aur nahi mila? Izzat bech khaayi tune humari!
He locks Ragini inside a room. Ragini keeps banging the door from inside.
Ragini (crying)- Abbu, humari baat suniye! Laksh humara intazaar kar rahe honge. Khuda ke liye, ek baar, bas ek baar hume unse milne dijiye. Ek aakhri baar hume unhe dekh lene dijiye, Abbu please! Ammi, aap samjaayiye na Abbu ko!
Ragini's father- Tujhe zara bhi sharam nahi aati? Abb bhi besharamo ki tarah keh rahi hai ki hum tujhe uss Laksh se milne ki ijaazat de! Tu toh paida hi buri kismat ke saath hui thi. Aate hi apne asli Ammi aur Abbu ko khaa gayi. Humne paala tujhe! Paal pos ke itna bada kiya, iss laayak banaya. Aur aaj? Aaj ye sila diya tune hume? Inshallah bohot jald tera nikaah hoga!
Ragini starts crying vigorously. On the other side, Laksh keeps waiting for her near the lake.
Laksh- Yaar 5 baj gaye, abb tak nahi aayi! Kab aayegi? Aaj tak toh kabhi itni late nahi hui. 2 din baad mera match hai. All the best wish karne bhi nahi aayegi kya? Kaha main use apne dil ki baat bataane wala tha aaj, woh toh aayi hi nahi! Par kyu? Woh theek toh hogi na?
After waiting for another hour, Laksh finally goes back to the hotel. Whole night, he keeps wondering why Ragini didn't come to meet him. Next day also, Ragini keeps crying inside her room. Laksh also was not being able to concentrate on his practice.
Rohit- Kya yaar, Lucky? Kal match hai aur tu aaj kahi aur khoya hua hai? Pitna hai kya Indians se? Haar gaye toh patthar padenge ghar pe, samjha?
Laksh- Ye political rivalry bohot gandi cheez hai, yaar. Inn sab ke beech phaste hai hum, hum cricketers! Haaro toh khud gaaliya khaao, jeeto toh opponents ko gaaliya khilaao! Matlab koi bhi haare koi bhi jeete, kisi na kisi team ko toh gaaliya padni hi hai
Out of frustration, Laksh punches the wall and Rohit gets shocked.
Rohit- Lucky, kya ho gaya hai tujhe? Khud ko kyu harm kar raha hai? Kal match hai! Kahi haat pe gehri chot lag gayi toh khelega kaise?
Laksh- Rohit, main zara aata hu. Tum log practice continue karo!
Rohit- Arrey, kaha jaa raha hai?
Laksh doesn't respond and walks to the lake side angrily. On the other side, Ragini was also dying to meet Laksh. She tries to convince her parents as much as possible but none of them agree to let her go. Having no option left, she jumps from the window and runs away to meet him. Laksh waits for her for a very long time. Assuming that she won't come, he starts to walk back to his hotel when suddenly, he hears someone's voice from behind. It was Ragini.
Ragini- Humse mulaqaat kiye bina hi chale jaayenge, Laksh?
Laksh turns around and sees Ragini. Both his and Ragini's eyes start to water. Laksh runs and hugs her very tightly.
Laksh (crying)- Ragini, tum kal kyu nahi aayi thi? Tumhe pata hai main kitna darr gaya tha? Jaan chali gayi thi meri!
Ragini (crying)- Bohot lambi kahaani hai, Laksh! Hum aana chahte hai, par nahi aa paaye. Humare Ammi Abbu ne hame aane nahi diya.
Laksh breaks the hug and cups her cheek.
Laksh- Kyu?
Ragini- Unhe lagta hai ki...ki hum ek doosre se mohabbat karte hai
Laksh- To kya nahi karte?
Ragini feels nervous.
Ragini- La...Laksh, hum...hum yaha bas aapko kal ke khel ke liye shubhkaamnayein dene aaye the. Kya pata aaj ke baad humari kabhi mulaqaat ho bhi paaye ya nahi. Hum abb chalte hai, khuda haafiz!
Ragini had tears in her eyes. She was about to go when Laksh holds her hand from behind.
Laksh- Tumne mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya. Kya tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti?
Ragini- Kuch sawaalo ka koi jawaab nahi hota, Laksh!
Laksh leaves her wrist.
Laksh- Theek hai. Tum jaana chahti ho na? Jaao! Lekin ek baad yaad rakhna, aaj agar tum mere sawaal ka jawaab diye bina yaha se gayi na, toh tumhari kasam main kal ka match nahi khelunga!
Ragini turns around and looks at Laksh, shocked.
Laksh- Uske baad kya hoga ye toh tumhe pata hi hai na? Mere khud ke desh waale mujhse nafrat karne lagenge. Indian government mujhe deshdrohi banakar phaasi pe chadha degi. Mere khud ke log mujhe maar daalenge! Kya tum aisa chahti ho, Ragini? Tum chahti ho ki main marr jau?
Ragini gets scared and puts her finger on Laksh's lips.
Ragini (with teary eyes)- Khuda ke waaste aisa mat kahiye, Laksh! Hum aisa kabhi nahi chaahenge ki humari wajah se ya kisi bhi wajah se aapko ek kharoch tak aaye. Aapko kuch hua toh hum marr jaayenge!
Laksh- Aisa kyu? Kyu Ragini, kyu? Kyu mera itna khyaal hai tumhe? Meri maut ke khyaal se kyu kaanp uthti ho tum? Kyu itna darrti ho mujhe khone se?
Ragini doesn't respond. She keeps looking down and crying silently. Laksh holds her arms tightly and pulls her close.
Laksh (shouts)- Jawaab do, Ragini! Kyu itna darrti ho mujhe khone se? Kyu?
Ragini (shouts while crying)- Kyuki hum aapse beintahaan mohabbat karte hai, Laksh!
Laksh leaves Ragini's arms and she kneels down on the ground, crying.
Ragini- Haa Laksh, haa! Hum aapse beintahaan mohabbat karte hai par humari iss dastaan~e~mohabbat ka koi anjaam nahi hai, Laksh. Chaliye aaj hum bhi kehte hai ki hume aapse mohabbat hai, abb kya? Abb aage kya hoga, Laksh? Humara bhavishya kya hai? Aap humse nikaah karenge? Nahi na? Karna chahe bhi toh kaise karenge? Aap Hindustani hai aur hum Pakistani.
Laksh- So what, Ragini? Kya fark padta hai usse? Ye meri galti toh nahi hai na ki tum Pakistani ho aur main Indian! India aur Pakistan alag ho gaye toh isme meri kya galti? Tum Pakistan mein paida hui aur main India mein toh isme meri kya galti? Mujhe kis baat ki saza de rahi ho tum, Ragini?
Ragini- Samajhne ki koshish kijiye, Laksh! Humara ek hona namumkin hai. Aap Indian team ke captain na hote tab bhi baat alag thi. Tab bhi thode bohot chances the ki hum ek ho jaaye. Par abb toh bilkul nahi. Aapko pata hai hum ek hue toh kya hoga? Gazab ho jaayega, Laksh! Qayaamat aa jaayegi! International Cricket Council aap par ban laga degi. Aapko cricket khelne se rok diya jaayega. Aapka career barbaad ho jaayega, Laksh. Samajhne ki koshish kijiye. Hum ek nahi ho sakte, samjhe aap? Hum ek nahi ho sakte!
Laksh- Cricketer banke waise bhi kya ukhaad liya maine? Match jeete toh pyaar, match haare toh maar! Paise, izzat, daulat, shauhrat ye sab bhale hi mila ho, par ek cricketer ki zindagi ka koi bharosa nahi. Aaj match jeete toh log pooja karenge, phir kal badkismati se haar gaye, toh wahi log chappal se maarne ki baatein karenge. Cricket tumse zyaada important nahi hai, Ragini. Agar ICC mujhe nikaalti hai, agar mujhpe ban lagta hai, agar mujhe khelne se rok diya jaata hai toh koi problem nahi. Mujhe manzoor hai! Par mujhe tumse juda hona manzoor nahi, Ragini. Team se nikaalte hai toh nikaalne do. Mujhe koi parwa nahi.
Ragini- Laksh, aap samajh nahi rahe hai!
Laksh- Tum nahi samajh rahi ho, Ragini. Ye border, ye dushmani mujhe samajh aati hai par mere dil ko nahi! Dimaag ko bhale hi samjha du par dil ko kaise samjhau? Use kaise samjhau ki jis ladki ke liye woh dhadakta hai, woh Pakistani hai? Kaun samjhayega mere dil ko? Aur kaise? Theek hai! Kal main match ke baad tumhara stadium ke baahar intazaar karunga. Agar tum aayi toh main samjhunga ke tum mere saath chalne ko tayyar ho aur agar nahi aayi toh...
Ragini- Toh...?
Laksh- Toh main yahi isi taalaab (points towards the lake) mein koodkar apni jaan de dunga!
Ragini- Khuda ke waaste aisa mat kahiye, Laksh! Aapko kuch bhi hua toh hum marr jaayenge.
Laksh- Agar mujhe dukhi dekh kar tumhe dard hota hai, toh kyu dukh deti ho mujhe? Kyu khudko dard deti ho mujhe dard dekar?
Ragini runs away crying. Laksh also starts crying. Next day, India loses the match due to Laksh's negligence. He was too distracted to concentrate on the match. His teammates start blaming him for the defeat.
Rohit- Teri wajah se haar gaye aaj, Lucky! Socha hai abb India jaake kya hoga? Khoon choos lenge log humara!
Laksh- Rohit, please yaar! Mera already mood bohot kharab hai, aur upset mat kar.
Rohit- Ho kya gaya hai yaar tujhe? Koi daaru waaru peeke aaya hai kya? Pakistan se haare hai hum log! Koi doosri country hoti tab bhi baat alag thi. Par Pakistan se haare hum. Abb tak toh India mein logo ne humare putle jaalana shuru bhi kar diya hoga. Tere ghar pe toh pakka patthar phekenge! Aur toh aur tujhe captaincy se bhi hata denge abb, samjha?
Laksh- Pakistan hi kyu, yaar? Matlab aisi dushmani sirf India aur Pakistan ke beech hi kyu? Kyu dono countries aapas mein miljul kar nahi reh sakte? Kyu ek doosre ka khoon peene par tule hai dono desh? Milta kya hai dono countries ki government ko aise jhagde karake? Political power ke liye ye saale ministers innocent logo ka istamaal karte hai. Agar aaj ye jhagde na hote toh meri Ragini...
Rohit- Kaun Ragini?
Laksh doesn't say anything.
Rohit- Lucky, main kuch pooch raha hu. Jawaab de! Kaun hai ye Ragini? Accha abb main samjha, tu roz shaam ko iss Ragini se milne jaata tha. Tujhe usse pyaar ho gaya hai, right? Ek Pakistani ladki se pyaar kar baitha tu! Aur usi ke wajah se hum ye match haare hai. Bas ek baar hum India pohoch jaaye, uske baad main teri complain karta hu ICC mein.
Laksh- Dekh Rohit, tujhe jo karna hai, kar le! Team se nikalwana hai toh nikalwa de. Par please, thodi der mujhe akela chodd de!
Laksh goes out of the stadium waiting for Ragini. Laksh keeps waiting for an hour but Ragini doesn't come.
Laksh (to himself)- Nahi aayi na tum? Prove ho gaya Ragini, ki main tumhare liye kuch matter hi nahi karta. Isliye toh mujhe marne ke liye chodd diya tumne. Koi baat nahi! Abb agar zindagi mein tum nahi, toh ye zindagi bhi nahi.
Laksh slowly walks towards the lake side to attempt suicide but Ragini comes running and hugs him from behind. Both Ragini and Laksh start crying.
Laksh- Ra..Ragini, tum aa gayi?
Ragini- Kaise nahi aate? Mohabbat jo karte hai aapse!
Laksh turns around to face Ragini. He cups her cheek and kisses her on her forehead.
Laksh- Ragini, kya tum mere saath mere desh chalogi? Kya tum Mrs. Ragini Laksh Kohli banogi?
Ragini nods with tears of happiness. Laksh's teammates refuse to let him go with them if he takes Ragini so he decides to book another two tickets for himself and Ragini. After reaching India, they get married and this becomes a very big issue for both Laksh and his career. ICC decides to put a ban on his career. Even the media makes it a public issue. The CEO of ICC comes to Laksh's place to meet him. He knocks the door and Ragini opens it. The CEO gets shocked to see a girl wearing a hijaab in Laksh's house.
Ragini- Jee, aap kaun?
CEO- Laksh hai ghar pe?
Ragini- Jee woh naha rahe hai. Aap aayiye na!
Laksh comes and speaks from behind.
Laksh- Kaun hai, Ragini?
Laksh sees the CEO.
Laksh- Arrey sir, aap? Aayiye na! Aap baahar kyu khade hai?
Laksh (to Ragini)- Ragini, ye ICC ke CEO hai, Mr. Aniruddh Desai.
Laksh (To the CEO)- Aur sir, yeh...Yeh meri wife hai, Mrs. Ragini Laksh Kohli.
CEO- Oh, toh ye hai woh! Ye hai saare fasaad ki jadd. Yahi hai woh jisne poore desh mein dange kara rakhe hai.
Laksh gets a little angry to hear this.
Laksh- Sir, Please aap...
But Ragini holds and presses his wrist a little to stop him from speaking.
Ragini- Assalam~U~Waalekum (I'm sorry if I spelt it wrong. I'm not Muslim actually)!
The CEO looks at her angrily but doesn't say anything rude.
CEO- Namaste!
Ragini- Sir, aap baithiye na! Hum abhi chaai lekar aate hai aapke liye.
The CEO- Koi zaroorat nahi! Main yaha chaai peene nahi aaya hu. Main yaha Laksh ko ye bataane aaya hu ki abb uska ICC ke saath koi connection nahi hai. ICC use boycott karti hai.
Laksh feels hurt to hear this but he keeps quiet. Ragini could understand his pain. She gives a bitter smile to the CEO.
Ragini- Sir, bura mat maaniyega par kya ham aapse ek sawaal pooche?
CEO- Poocho!
Ragini- Jawaab mein sirf sach hi boliyega!
CEO- Theek hai.
Ragini- Kya aapne kabhi kisise sacche dil se mohabbat ki hai?
CEO- Ye kaisa sawaal hai?
Laksh (to Ragini)- Ragini, ye kya kar rahi ho tum?
Ragini (to Laksh)- Laksh please, hume mat rokiye!
Ragini (To the CEO)- Sir, batayiye na! Kiya hai kabhi aapne kisise sacche dil se mohabbat?
The CEO starts going back to his past where he had once fallen in love with a lower caste girl but couldn't marry her due to family issues. Both the families were against their relationship. The girl later commits suicide.
The CEO- Haa, ki hai! Jaan se zyaada pyaar kiya hai maine usse.
Ragini- Kya aap dono ka nikaah hua?
CEO- Nahi, hamari families nahi maani.
Ragini- Tab aapko kaisa laga tha, sir? Aaj bhi wahi ho raha hai. Fark bas itna hai ki aapki jagah Laksh hai aur uss ladki ki jagah hum. Aap apne pariwaar ki zid ko maan gaye aur Laksh ne apne dil ki suni. Sir, hum aapse poochte hai, kya Laksh ne kuch galat kiya? Unki gustaakhi bas itni hai ki unhe ek Pakistani ladki se mohabbat hui. Aaj agar hum Pakistani na hokar New York ya London se hote, tab shayad ye sab nahi hota. Tab shayad Laksh ko khelne se nahi roka jaata! Laksh ki zindagi bas isliye rok di gayi kyuki unki begum Pakistani hai. Humne bhi unhe samjhane ki bohot koshish ki thi sir, par woh nahi maane. Unhone humse kaha ki dil ke paas dimaag nahi hota. Dimaag ko bhale hi samjha de, dil ko kaise samjhayenge?
The CEO starts crying. Ragini's words remind him of his lost love. He used to say the same thing to his girl when she tried to make him understand that they're not made for each other. The CEO was the older version of Laksh.
CEO (crying)- Maine bhi bohot pyaar kiya tha usse. Par uss waqt mujhme himmat nahi thi duniya ke khilaaf jaane ki, duniya ke khilaaf jaakar use apnaane ki! Bohot darrta tha main! Usne meri wajah se apni jaan le li. Aur aaj, aaj Laksh ko apne pyaar ke liye ladta dekh mujhe aisa lag raha hai jaise maano main khud apne pyaar ke liye lad raha hu. Main nahi kar paaya toh kya hua? Kam se kam Laksh mein toh itni himmat hai ki woh apne pyaar ke liye duniya se lad sake.
The CEO comes to Ragini. Ragini touches his feet and he blesses her.
CEO- Ragini beta, mujhe maaf kar dena! Main nafrat ki aag mein jal gaya tha. Nafrat ke alaawa kuch dikh hi nahi raha tha mujhe.
Ragini- Sir, aap maafi maang ke please hume sharminda mat kijiye!
The CEO then goes to Laksh and Laksh also touches his feet. The CEO pats Laksh's shoulder.
CEO- I'm proud of you, Laksh! Tumhe koi ICC se boycott nahi karega. Tum India ke liye khelte aaye ho, aur aage bhi khelte rahoge, as a captain! Aur haa, Ragini bohot acchi ladki hai. Tum bohot lucky ho!
Laksh looks at Ragini and smiles. Ragini smiles back.
Laksh- Thank you, sir!
The CEO then goes and RagLak hug each other.
Laksh- Thank you, Ragini. Agar aaj tum nahi hoti, toh shayad aaj ke baad main kabhi stadium tak jaa hi nahi paata!
Ragini- Apni begum ko shukriya bolenge, Laksh? Jaayiye hum aapse khafa hai!
Laksh laughs and kisses her forehead.
Laksh- Humari begum humse khafa ho gayi? Chaliye begum, zara aapka mood theek karte hai.
Laksh carries Ragini in his arms and takes her to his bedroom. Ragini blushes and then finally, they consummate their marriage. After that, Laksh becomes a very good captain and wins almost all matches with the support of his wife, MRS. RAGINI LAKSH KOHLI.
~THE END~
Laksh Kohli (Because I'm a die hard Virat Kohli fan): The captain of Indian Cricket Team!
Ragini Abdullah Khan: A simple middle class Pakistani girl.
The story starts with the announcement of an Indo-Pak match in a stadium of Pakistan (sorry I don't know the name of any Pakistani stadium as I belong to India). The Indian Cricket Team has arrived Pakistan. Laksh Kohli is the captain of the team. After practicing for about 2 hours, Laksh thinks of going for an evening walk. As he reaches the lake side, he sees a very beautiful girl (with a hijaab) feeding the sparrows. He hides behind a tree and keeps staring at her. This girl is Ragini. She had tears in her eyes.
Ragini (to the birds, crying)- Humari gustaakhi kya hai? Ham jaante hai ki hamare Ammi aur Abbu ne hame janam nahi diya hai. Par hum toh unse apni jaan se bhi zyaada mohabbat karte hai na? Toh phir kyu? Kyu woh hume naukraani ki tarah rakhte hai? Kyu humare aur Choti (her sister) ke beech fark karte hai? Kyu? Kya khoon ka rishta hi sab kuch hota hai? Dil ke rishte koi maaine nahi rakhte? Kya mohabbat ki iss duniya mein koi keemat nahi?
Suddenly, she hears a voice talking from behind. This voice is of Laksh.
Laksh- Hai na! Pyaar ki toh iss duniya ko sabse zyaada zaroorat hai.
Ragini gets shocked to see Laksh. She stars stammering.
Ragini (stammering)- La...La...Laksh Kohli? Aa...Aap wahi Laksh...Laksh hai na? Ind...Indian team ke cap...cap...captain?
Laksh- Jee ha, main wahi Laksh hu. Par aap itna ghabra kyu rahi hai?
All of a sudden, Ragini faints and Laksh holds her before she could fall. Laksh sprinkles drops of water on her face to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes and gets shocked again.
Ragini- Matlab hum...hum khwaab nahi dekh rahe the. Aap...Aap hak...hakeeqat mein humare saamne hai. Hume laga hum...hum khwaab dekh rahe the!
Laksh laughs out loud.
Laksh- Jee nahi madam ji, aap sapna nahi dekh rahi thi. Main sach mein aapke saamne khada hu aur aap iss waqt meri baaho mein leti hui hai
Ragini feels embarrassed and immediately goes away from Laksh. She keeps looking down out of nervousness.
Ragini- Hume humari gustaakhi ke liye maaf kar dijiye, sir. Pata nahi kaise aapko dekh kar hum...hum beshosh ho gaye!
Laksh- Accha? Mujhe nahi pata tha ki Pakistan mein bhi mere fans hai.
Ragini- Arrey, aapko nahi pata sir, bohot si Pakistani ladkiya aapke peeche deewani hai. Bohot saari ladkiya apni almaari mein kitaabein kam aur aapki tasveerein zyaada rakhti hai.
Ragini was talking about herself but she doesn't tell Laksh that she is also a fan of him. Laksh, however, understands it by himself.
Laksh (raising an eyebrow)- Accha? Aur ye baat aapko kaise pata?
Ragini again gets nervous.
Ragini- Woh...Ummm hum...hum chalte hai. Ammi humari raah dekh rahi hogi ghar pe. Khuda Haafiz!
Laksh- Arrey, naam toh batati jaao apna!
Ragini doesn't say anything and runs away.
Laksh (to himself)- Chali gayi! Koi baat nahi, iska naam toh main pata karke hi rahoonga. Par kaise? Ek kaam karta hu, kal phir isi time iss jagah aata hu. Kya pata, kal phir dikh jaaye?
Laksh then smiles and goes back to his teammates.
Rohit (Sharma lol)- Yaar Lucky, kaha tha tu?
Laksh- Nahi yaar, bas thoda ghoomne gaya tha! Chal abhi practice continue karte hai.
Rohit- Haa chal!
Laksh and his team mates keep practicing really hard for the match. Next day, the same thing happened but Laksh's eyes constantly kept going to the clock. He was waiting for the clock to struck 4 P.M. As soon as the 4th hour started, Laksh went out in a hurry.
Laksh- Guys, aaj ke liye ho gaya! Baaki ka kal karenge.
Shikhar (Dhawan lol)- Lucky, tu pagla gaya hai kya? Bhool gaya, agle hafte match hai? Woh bhi Pakistan ke saath! Haar gaye toh lautne ke baad India wale khoon choos lenge humara.
Laksh- Wahi toh baat hai na, yaar! Ek cricketer ki life hi aisi hai. Kitni bhi koshish kar le, kitna bhi apna mooh haat tudwa le, kitne bhi matches jeet le, saala ek match haarne par apne hi log ghar par patthar phekne lag jaate hai!
Shikhar- Abb kya kar sakte hai, bhai? Log aise hi hai. Cricketers ko match jeetne par jitna pyaar, jitni respect milti hai, match haarne par utni hi gaaliya bhi milti hai! Khair, jo hoga dekhte hai. Tu jaa, jaha jaa raha tha!
Laksh looks at the time.
Laksh- Arrey haa yaar, main toh bhool hi gaya tha! Chal, baad mein milte hai.
Laksh goes to the lake side. He looks here and there but doesn't find Ragini. Thinking that she hadn't come to the lake side that day, Laksh decides to go when his eyes fall on someone praying namaaz behind the tree. A smile automatically comes to his lips on seeing Ragini. He walks towards her and keeps watching her silently with a smile while she keeps praying namaaz. After a while, Ragini opens her eyes and gets shocked to see Laksh standing in front of her.
Ragini- Aap? Aap phirse yaha?
Laksh gets nervous. He didn't know what to say.
Laksh (nervous)- Uhhh woh...woh main...actually woh main hawa khaane aaya tha! You know, lake side ki hawa taazi hoti hai.
Ragini laughs. She understands that Laksh is lying.
Ragini- Accha? Waise humara naam Ragini hai. Kal aapne poocha tha, par hum bata nahi paaye!
Laksh- Ragini? Par...Par tum toh Muslim ho na? Aur yeh naam toh Hindu lagta hai.
Ragini- Haa, pata hai! Shayad Ammi Abbu ko ye naam pasand aa gaya hoga. Waise aap ye hindu Muslim waali baatein maante hai?
Laksh- Haa? Oh come on! India mein bohot log Muslim hai. Mere bohot Muslim friends bhi hai. Main ye sab Hindu Muslim bakwaas baatein nahi maanta. Bas thoda ajeeb laga sunkar ki tumhara naam Ragini hai.
Ragini simply smiles on hearing this. After a while, she and Laksh sit on the cold green grass near the lake. They keep watching the beautiful lake.
Ragini- Pata hai Laksh, hum kal yaha apni takleef baatne aaye the. Jab bhi hum iss taalaab (lake) ko dekhte hai na, toh mann ko bohot sukoon milta hai. Thodi der ke liye hi sahi, hum apni saari takleef bhool jaate hai. Aur yaha taalaab ke paas rone se kisi ko humare aasu bhi nahi dikhte. Yahi ek khaas baat hai iss taalaab ki.
Laksh- Iss taalaab ki ek aur khaas baat hai.
Ragini- Kaun si baat?
Laksh looks at Ragini and smiles.
Laksh- Iss taalaab ne hum dono ko milwaaya!
Ragini also looks at Laksh. They both start feeling an unknown bond growing between them. They start realising that both of the them are in love with each other but they were scared to say it. For the next 5 days, they keep meeting each other like this. Even during the practice hours, Laksh's eyes only keep waiting for the clock to struck 4. But mouths are given to speak, they say! This is indeed true. People start badmouthing about Ragini and Laksh's relationship. Even Ragini's parents (step parents) start questioning her.
Ragini's Ammi (angrily shouts)- Besharam! Sharam nahi aayi tujhe uss hindustani cricketer ke saath aapna mooh kaala karte hue? Arrey, mohabbat hi karni thi toh kisi Pakistani insaan se kar leti. Iss poore Pakistan mulk mein koi nahi mila tujhe? Poore mohalle mein naak kata di humari!
Ragini (crying)- Ammi, humari baat suniye! Haa ye hakeeqat hai ki hum Laksh se beintahaan mohabbat karte hai. Par khuda ke waaste humara yakeen kijiye Ammi, humare aur unke beech kuch nahi hai. Woh humse mohabbat nahi karte hai, Ammi!
Ragini's Ammi- Mohabbat nahi karta? Mohabbat nahi karta toh roz tujhse mulaqaat karne ke liye taalaab ke paas kyu aata hai woh? Kya takleef hai use? Kyu tujhse ek pal ki bhi judaai use bardaasht nahi hoti?
These words hit Ragini's brain. She keeps wondering if what her mother said was true.
Ragini (in mind)- Kya Ammi ki baatein hakeeqat hai? Kya Laksh hakeeqat mein humse mohabbat karte hai? Kya hum unke dil ki baat ko samajh nahi paaye?
Suddenly, Ragini's Abbu enters.
Ragini's Abbu- Kya ho raha hai ye sab? Zubeida (Ragini's mother), kya hai ye sab? Kyu khafa ho Ragini se? Kya gustaakhi ki hai isne?
Ragini's Ammi- Khafa na ho toh kya kare? Jaante hai, kya gul khilaaye hai aapki beti ne? Mohabbat karne ki gustaakhi ki hai isne. Aur woh bhi ek aise ladke se jiske saath iska koi bhawishya nahi hai. Hum toh pehle hi kehte the, ye ladki ek na ek din zaroor qayaamat laayegi!
Ragini's Abbu also gets angry.
Ragini's Abbu (angrily)- Kisse? Kisse mohabbat karne ki gustaakhi ki hai isne? Kaun hai woh nalaayak?
Ragini (crying)- Abbu, ek baar khuda ke liye humari baat sun lijiye!
Ragini's Abbu (shouts)- Chup! Hum tujhse baat nahi kar rahe hai. Zubeida, tum bataao! Kaun hai woh?
Ragini's Ammi- Laksh Kohli, Hindustani Cricket Team ka captain!
Ragini's father gets shocked.
Ragini's Abbu (shouts)- Kya? Laksh Kohli?
Ragini's father slaps her hard.
Ragini's Abbu- Besharam! Tujhe mohabbat karne ke liye koi aur nahi mila? Izzat bech khaayi tune humari!
He locks Ragini inside a room. Ragini keeps banging the door from inside.
Ragini (crying)- Abbu, humari baat suniye! Laksh humara intazaar kar rahe honge. Khuda ke liye, ek baar, bas ek baar hume unse milne dijiye. Ek aakhri baar hume unhe dekh lene dijiye, Abbu please! Ammi, aap samjaayiye na Abbu ko!
Ragini's father- Tujhe zara bhi sharam nahi aati? Abb bhi besharamo ki tarah keh rahi hai ki hum tujhe uss Laksh se milne ki ijaazat de! Tu toh paida hi buri kismat ke saath hui thi. Aate hi apne asli Ammi aur Abbu ko khaa gayi. Humne paala tujhe! Paal pos ke itna bada kiya, iss laayak banaya. Aur aaj? Aaj ye sila diya tune hume? Inshallah bohot jald tera nikaah hoga!
Ragini starts crying vigorously. On the other side, Laksh keeps waiting for her near the lake.
Laksh- Yaar 5 baj gaye, abb tak nahi aayi! Kab aayegi? Aaj tak toh kabhi itni late nahi hui. 2 din baad mera match hai. All the best wish karne bhi nahi aayegi kya? Kaha main use apne dil ki baat bataane wala tha aaj, woh toh aayi hi nahi! Par kyu? Woh theek toh hogi na?
After waiting for another hour, Laksh finally goes back to the hotel. Whole night, he keeps wondering why Ragini didn't come to meet him. Next day also, Ragini keeps crying inside her room. Laksh also was not being able to concentrate on his practice.
Rohit- Kya yaar, Lucky? Kal match hai aur tu aaj kahi aur khoya hua hai? Pitna hai kya Indians se? Haar gaye toh patthar padenge ghar pe, samjha?
Laksh- Ye political rivalry bohot gandi cheez hai, yaar. Inn sab ke beech phaste hai hum, hum cricketers! Haaro toh khud gaaliya khaao, jeeto toh opponents ko gaaliya khilaao! Matlab koi bhi haare koi bhi jeete, kisi na kisi team ko toh gaaliya padni hi hai
Out of frustration, Laksh punches the wall and Rohit gets shocked.
Rohit- Lucky, kya ho gaya hai tujhe? Khud ko kyu harm kar raha hai? Kal match hai! Kahi haat pe gehri chot lag gayi toh khelega kaise?
Laksh- Rohit, main zara aata hu. Tum log practice continue karo!
Rohit- Arrey, kaha jaa raha hai?
Laksh doesn't respond and walks to the lake side angrily. On the other side, Ragini was also dying to meet Laksh. She tries to convince her parents as much as possible but none of them agree to let her go. Having no option left, she jumps from the window and runs away to meet him. Laksh waits for her for a very long time. Assuming that she won't come, he starts to walk back to his hotel when suddenly, he hears someone's voice from behind. It was Ragini.
Ragini- Humse mulaqaat kiye bina hi chale jaayenge, Laksh?
Laksh turns around and sees Ragini. Both his and Ragini's eyes start to water. Laksh runs and hugs her very tightly.
Laksh (crying)- Ragini, tum kal kyu nahi aayi thi? Tumhe pata hai main kitna darr gaya tha? Jaan chali gayi thi meri!
Ragini (crying)- Bohot lambi kahaani hai, Laksh! Hum aana chahte hai, par nahi aa paaye. Humare Ammi Abbu ne hame aane nahi diya.
Laksh breaks the hug and cups her cheek.
Laksh- Kyu?
Ragini- Unhe lagta hai ki...ki hum ek doosre se mohabbat karte hai
Laksh- To kya nahi karte?
Ragini feels nervous.
Ragini- La...Laksh, hum...hum yaha bas aapko kal ke khel ke liye shubhkaamnayein dene aaye the. Kya pata aaj ke baad humari kabhi mulaqaat ho bhi paaye ya nahi. Hum abb chalte hai, khuda haafiz!
Ragini had tears in her eyes. She was about to go when Laksh holds her hand from behind.
Laksh- Tumne mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya. Kya tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti?
Ragini- Kuch sawaalo ka koi jawaab nahi hota, Laksh!
Laksh leaves her wrist.
Laksh- Theek hai. Tum jaana chahti ho na? Jaao! Lekin ek baad yaad rakhna, aaj agar tum mere sawaal ka jawaab diye bina yaha se gayi na, toh tumhari kasam main kal ka match nahi khelunga!
Ragini turns around and looks at Laksh, shocked.
Laksh- Uske baad kya hoga ye toh tumhe pata hi hai na? Mere khud ke desh waale mujhse nafrat karne lagenge. Indian government mujhe deshdrohi banakar phaasi pe chadha degi. Mere khud ke log mujhe maar daalenge! Kya tum aisa chahti ho, Ragini? Tum chahti ho ki main marr jau?
Ragini gets scared and puts her finger on Laksh's lips.
Ragini (with teary eyes)- Khuda ke waaste aisa mat kahiye, Laksh! Hum aisa kabhi nahi chaahenge ki humari wajah se ya kisi bhi wajah se aapko ek kharoch tak aaye. Aapko kuch hua toh hum marr jaayenge!
Laksh- Aisa kyu? Kyu Ragini, kyu? Kyu mera itna khyaal hai tumhe? Meri maut ke khyaal se kyu kaanp uthti ho tum? Kyu itna darrti ho mujhe khone se?
Ragini doesn't respond. She keeps looking down and crying silently. Laksh holds her arms tightly and pulls her close.
Laksh (shouts)- Jawaab do, Ragini! Kyu itna darrti ho mujhe khone se? Kyu?
Ragini (shouts while crying)- Kyuki hum aapse beintahaan mohabbat karte hai, Laksh!
Laksh leaves Ragini's arms and she kneels down on the ground, crying.
Ragini- Haa Laksh, haa! Hum aapse beintahaan mohabbat karte hai par humari iss dastaan~e~mohabbat ka koi anjaam nahi hai, Laksh. Chaliye aaj hum bhi kehte hai ki hume aapse mohabbat hai, abb kya? Abb aage kya hoga, Laksh? Humara bhavishya kya hai? Aap humse nikaah karenge? Nahi na? Karna chahe bhi toh kaise karenge? Aap Hindustani hai aur hum Pakistani.
Laksh- So what, Ragini? Kya fark padta hai usse? Ye meri galti toh nahi hai na ki tum Pakistani ho aur main Indian! India aur Pakistan alag ho gaye toh isme meri kya galti? Tum Pakistan mein paida hui aur main India mein toh isme meri kya galti? Mujhe kis baat ki saza de rahi ho tum, Ragini?
Ragini- Samajhne ki koshish kijiye, Laksh! Humara ek hona namumkin hai. Aap Indian team ke captain na hote tab bhi baat alag thi. Tab bhi thode bohot chances the ki hum ek ho jaaye. Par abb toh bilkul nahi. Aapko pata hai hum ek hue toh kya hoga? Gazab ho jaayega, Laksh! Qayaamat aa jaayegi! International Cricket Council aap par ban laga degi. Aapko cricket khelne se rok diya jaayega. Aapka career barbaad ho jaayega, Laksh. Samajhne ki koshish kijiye. Hum ek nahi ho sakte, samjhe aap? Hum ek nahi ho sakte!
Laksh- Cricketer banke waise bhi kya ukhaad liya maine? Match jeete toh pyaar, match haare toh maar! Paise, izzat, daulat, shauhrat ye sab bhale hi mila ho, par ek cricketer ki zindagi ka koi bharosa nahi. Aaj match jeete toh log pooja karenge, phir kal badkismati se haar gaye, toh wahi log chappal se maarne ki baatein karenge. Cricket tumse zyaada important nahi hai, Ragini. Agar ICC mujhe nikaalti hai, agar mujhpe ban lagta hai, agar mujhe khelne se rok diya jaata hai toh koi problem nahi. Mujhe manzoor hai! Par mujhe tumse juda hona manzoor nahi, Ragini. Team se nikaalte hai toh nikaalne do. Mujhe koi parwa nahi.
Ragini- Laksh, aap samajh nahi rahe hai!
Laksh- Tum nahi samajh rahi ho, Ragini. Ye border, ye dushmani mujhe samajh aati hai par mere dil ko nahi! Dimaag ko bhale hi samjha du par dil ko kaise samjhau? Use kaise samjhau ki jis ladki ke liye woh dhadakta hai, woh Pakistani hai? Kaun samjhayega mere dil ko? Aur kaise? Theek hai! Kal main match ke baad tumhara stadium ke baahar intazaar karunga. Agar tum aayi toh main samjhunga ke tum mere saath chalne ko tayyar ho aur agar nahi aayi toh...
Ragini- Toh...?
Laksh- Toh main yahi isi taalaab (points towards the lake) mein koodkar apni jaan de dunga!
Ragini- Khuda ke waaste aisa mat kahiye, Laksh! Aapko kuch bhi hua toh hum marr jaayenge.
Laksh- Agar mujhe dukhi dekh kar tumhe dard hota hai, toh kyu dukh deti ho mujhe? Kyu khudko dard deti ho mujhe dard dekar?
Ragini runs away crying. Laksh also starts crying. Next day, India loses the match due to Laksh's negligence. He was too distracted to concentrate on the match. His teammates start blaming him for the defeat.
Rohit- Teri wajah se haar gaye aaj, Lucky! Socha hai abb India jaake kya hoga? Khoon choos lenge log humara!
Laksh- Rohit, please yaar! Mera already mood bohot kharab hai, aur upset mat kar.
Rohit- Ho kya gaya hai yaar tujhe? Koi daaru waaru peeke aaya hai kya? Pakistan se haare hai hum log! Koi doosri country hoti tab bhi baat alag thi. Par Pakistan se haare hum. Abb tak toh India mein logo ne humare putle jaalana shuru bhi kar diya hoga. Tere ghar pe toh pakka patthar phekenge! Aur toh aur tujhe captaincy se bhi hata denge abb, samjha?
Laksh- Pakistan hi kyu, yaar? Matlab aisi dushmani sirf India aur Pakistan ke beech hi kyu? Kyu dono countries aapas mein miljul kar nahi reh sakte? Kyu ek doosre ka khoon peene par tule hai dono desh? Milta kya hai dono countries ki government ko aise jhagde karake? Political power ke liye ye saale ministers innocent logo ka istamaal karte hai. Agar aaj ye jhagde na hote toh meri Ragini...
Rohit- Kaun Ragini?
Laksh doesn't say anything.
Rohit- Lucky, main kuch pooch raha hu. Jawaab de! Kaun hai ye Ragini? Accha abb main samjha, tu roz shaam ko iss Ragini se milne jaata tha. Tujhe usse pyaar ho gaya hai, right? Ek Pakistani ladki se pyaar kar baitha tu! Aur usi ke wajah se hum ye match haare hai. Bas ek baar hum India pohoch jaaye, uske baad main teri complain karta hu ICC mein.
Laksh- Dekh Rohit, tujhe jo karna hai, kar le! Team se nikalwana hai toh nikalwa de. Par please, thodi der mujhe akela chodd de!
Laksh goes out of the stadium waiting for Ragini. Laksh keeps waiting for an hour but Ragini doesn't come.
Laksh (to himself)- Nahi aayi na tum? Prove ho gaya Ragini, ki main tumhare liye kuch matter hi nahi karta. Isliye toh mujhe marne ke liye chodd diya tumne. Koi baat nahi! Abb agar zindagi mein tum nahi, toh ye zindagi bhi nahi.
Laksh slowly walks towards the lake side to attempt suicide but Ragini comes running and hugs him from behind. Both Ragini and Laksh start crying.
Laksh- Ra..Ragini, tum aa gayi?
Ragini- Kaise nahi aate? Mohabbat jo karte hai aapse!
Laksh turns around to face Ragini. He cups her cheek and kisses her on her forehead.
Laksh- Ragini, kya tum mere saath mere desh chalogi? Kya tum Mrs. Ragini Laksh Kohli banogi?
Ragini nods with tears of happiness. Laksh's teammates refuse to let him go with them if he takes Ragini so he decides to book another two tickets for himself and Ragini. After reaching India, they get married and this becomes a very big issue for both Laksh and his career. ICC decides to put a ban on his career. Even the media makes it a public issue. The CEO of ICC comes to Laksh's place to meet him. He knocks the door and Ragini opens it. The CEO gets shocked to see a girl wearing a hijaab in Laksh's house.
Ragini- Jee, aap kaun?
CEO- Laksh hai ghar pe?
Ragini- Jee woh naha rahe hai. Aap aayiye na!
Laksh comes and speaks from behind.
Laksh- Kaun hai, Ragini?
Laksh sees the CEO.
Laksh- Arrey sir, aap? Aayiye na! Aap baahar kyu khade hai?
Laksh (to Ragini)- Ragini, ye ICC ke CEO hai, Mr. Aniruddh Desai.
Laksh (To the CEO)- Aur sir, yeh...Yeh meri wife hai, Mrs. Ragini Laksh Kohli.
CEO- Oh, toh ye hai woh! Ye hai saare fasaad ki jadd. Yahi hai woh jisne poore desh mein dange kara rakhe hai.
Laksh gets a little angry to hear this.
Laksh- Sir, Please aap...
But Ragini holds and presses his wrist a little to stop him from speaking.
Ragini- Assalam~U~Waalekum (I'm sorry if I spelt it wrong. I'm not Muslim actually)!
The CEO looks at her angrily but doesn't say anything rude.
CEO- Namaste!
Ragini- Sir, aap baithiye na! Hum abhi chaai lekar aate hai aapke liye.
The CEO- Koi zaroorat nahi! Main yaha chaai peene nahi aaya hu. Main yaha Laksh ko ye bataane aaya hu ki abb uska ICC ke saath koi connection nahi hai. ICC use boycott karti hai.
Laksh feels hurt to hear this but he keeps quiet. Ragini could understand his pain. She gives a bitter smile to the CEO.
Ragini- Sir, bura mat maaniyega par kya ham aapse ek sawaal pooche?
CEO- Poocho!
Ragini- Jawaab mein sirf sach hi boliyega!
CEO- Theek hai.
Ragini- Kya aapne kabhi kisise sacche dil se mohabbat ki hai?
CEO- Ye kaisa sawaal hai?
Laksh (to Ragini)- Ragini, ye kya kar rahi ho tum?
Ragini (to Laksh)- Laksh please, hume mat rokiye!
Ragini (To the CEO)- Sir, batayiye na! Kiya hai kabhi aapne kisise sacche dil se mohabbat?
The CEO starts going back to his past where he had once fallen in love with a lower caste girl but couldn't marry her due to family issues. Both the families were against their relationship. The girl later commits suicide.
The CEO- Haa, ki hai! Jaan se zyaada pyaar kiya hai maine usse.
Ragini- Kya aap dono ka nikaah hua?
CEO- Nahi, hamari families nahi maani.
Ragini- Tab aapko kaisa laga tha, sir? Aaj bhi wahi ho raha hai. Fark bas itna hai ki aapki jagah Laksh hai aur uss ladki ki jagah hum. Aap apne pariwaar ki zid ko maan gaye aur Laksh ne apne dil ki suni. Sir, hum aapse poochte hai, kya Laksh ne kuch galat kiya? Unki gustaakhi bas itni hai ki unhe ek Pakistani ladki se mohabbat hui. Aaj agar hum Pakistani na hokar New York ya London se hote, tab shayad ye sab nahi hota. Tab shayad Laksh ko khelne se nahi roka jaata! Laksh ki zindagi bas isliye rok di gayi kyuki unki begum Pakistani hai. Humne bhi unhe samjhane ki bohot koshish ki thi sir, par woh nahi maane. Unhone humse kaha ki dil ke paas dimaag nahi hota. Dimaag ko bhale hi samjha de, dil ko kaise samjhayenge?
The CEO starts crying. Ragini's words remind him of his lost love. He used to say the same thing to his girl when she tried to make him understand that they're not made for each other. The CEO was the older version of Laksh.
CEO (crying)- Maine bhi bohot pyaar kiya tha usse. Par uss waqt mujhme himmat nahi thi duniya ke khilaaf jaane ki, duniya ke khilaaf jaakar use apnaane ki! Bohot darrta tha main! Usne meri wajah se apni jaan le li. Aur aaj, aaj Laksh ko apne pyaar ke liye ladta dekh mujhe aisa lag raha hai jaise maano main khud apne pyaar ke liye lad raha hu. Main nahi kar paaya toh kya hua? Kam se kam Laksh mein toh itni himmat hai ki woh apne pyaar ke liye duniya se lad sake.
The CEO comes to Ragini. Ragini touches his feet and he blesses her.
CEO- Ragini beta, mujhe maaf kar dena! Main nafrat ki aag mein jal gaya tha. Nafrat ke alaawa kuch dikh hi nahi raha tha mujhe.
Ragini- Sir, aap maafi maang ke please hume sharminda mat kijiye!
The CEO then goes to Laksh and Laksh also touches his feet. The CEO pats Laksh's shoulder.
CEO- I'm proud of you, Laksh! Tumhe koi ICC se boycott nahi karega. Tum India ke liye khelte aaye ho, aur aage bhi khelte rahoge, as a captain! Aur haa, Ragini bohot acchi ladki hai. Tum bohot lucky ho!
Laksh looks at Ragini and smiles. Ragini smiles back.
Laksh- Thank you, sir!
The CEO then goes and RagLak hug each other.
Laksh- Thank you, Ragini. Agar aaj tum nahi hoti, toh shayad aaj ke baad main kabhi stadium tak jaa hi nahi paata!
Ragini- Apni begum ko shukriya bolenge, Laksh? Jaayiye hum aapse khafa hai!
Laksh laughs and kisses her forehead.
Laksh- Humari begum humse khafa ho gayi? Chaliye begum, zara aapka mood theek karte hai.
Laksh carries Ragini in his arms and takes her to his bedroom. Ragini blushes and then finally, they consummate their marriage. After that, Laksh becomes a very good captain and wins almost all matches with the support of his wife, MRS. RAGINI LAKSH KOHLI.
~THE END~
