love is life....
Ana..
Anmol ran after her, and caught up with her just outside guest bedroom..., she tried to pull away from his hold......
whole family had followed Anmol and everyone was watching ,with visible shock on their faces.
He pulled Ana close and she jerked forward and looked in his eyes..She saw tears ,hurt, confusion, she felt as if he was as alone as her, he pulled her close ..and she clung to his neck
The pain and emotion of that hug affected everyone who was watching..
Vasundhra asked everyone to leave, she was very affected by this girl's loss ,Inderjit had told her whole story, despite her hatred she couldn't't help but feel sorry for Anmol too. 
Ragini went forward but suddenly her eyes met with Anmol's ; he had opened his eyes, still hugging Ana close he silently gestured her to leave...
Ragini turned to leave, she felt humiliated but what pained her was that look,
She was tossing and turning in her bed, on her side empty pillow was eating her, Anmol had not come to bed yet, in fact he had not even eaten dinner with family, instead he had asked for a tray for him and Ana.
She turned and saw clock shone 2 Am ,she remembered how she had gone to give milk, she had gotten so curious ke she had gone herself, to her horror Ana had taken milk tray from her and closed door on her face ,she tried not to think of other girl's swollen eyes ,woman in her was getting very agitated. she did not want to feel compassion for the other girl ;After all Anmol belonged to her first ,then someone else
Suddenly door opened and Anmol came slowly into the room, he moved carefully ,not making any noise and lay very very still . the curtains were open and moon was shining across the open curtains.Something made him turn and his eyes met Ragini's.
He was emotionally so drained he decided to ignore that questioning look in her eyes,
He sighed deeply and said kyun soyi nahi abhi takshe kept staring
Ragini please go to sleep, i am tired and I have no desire to answer any questions.
Ragini had had enough ,she threw her blanket away and sat up with a jerk, she hit the button of side lamp with such force that there was a thud along with flood of light in the room...
Anmol tried to focus ,He covered his eyes with his arm and said Ragini please turn of the light, i have head ache....
Kya kya kaha aapne....
sar dard aur us gair aurat ke band kamre mein 2 baje tak baith ke, you are daring to tell me your head hurts...
Anmol was suddenly still , he held his breath unconsciously.
gair aurat ,band kamrawords echoed like sound cannons and he sat up too
he grabbed her arms tightly and said kya kahan tumne....his voice was trembling with rage..
Gair aurat ..pagal ho gayi ho kya....don't you have any compassion, you feel bad for a stray dog too, yet you had no decency to even console the poor girl, you did not even bother to ask me or her what we had gone though, what we lost ...his voice suddenly lost all its anger,instead it was laced with unshed tears.... Ragini's expressions changed,suddenly her own childhood came flashing in front of her eyes,anmol saw and he saw tears falling ,he let go of her arms and said wearily That girl sat on piano after a decade or even more than a decade, she sang a song on my birthday.....so full of life, she and my sister sang
Tum jiyo hazaron saal song for me...
The laughter, the joy and all was lost forever in something which I could have e prevented. Do you understand how it makes me feel. How i wish I had not gotten consumed by impulse and asked veer to drive the car...She is my responsibility Ragini and I love her a lot, so you better learn to show some respect too.
Ragini was now beyond any reason ,she got up, refusing to feel sorry for him or Ana, went on to stand by the window...she stared at moon for few timeless moments ,then she turned ,moonlight was making her look ethereal
Her enormous eyes spoke to his soul , he got up spell bound ,he tried to reach upto her ,suddenly spell was broken by her,she was saying something,he tried concentrating ..
Haan dukh to sirf aap ne hi dekha hai na..
I have lost people too,people whom i loved much more thna my own life
But i don't use this as reason to humiliate others..
And if she is that sad why is she giving me smirky looks,why did she behave so rudely with me ,she demanded
Listen he reached her in 2 strides and said..
Leave her alone, You don't understand ,you don't know......
Why is that because she is more beautiful than me came a anguished response....
Ragini ragini o ragini anmol moved forward and pulled her in his arms, he kissed top of her forehead and inhaled deeply...
All his anger drained ,all thoughts now on comforting his beloved Ragini
Ragini I am your husband, we are married, I love you ,she has nothing how can you feel this way for her.
seeing Ragini crying ,his heart turned and,she tried to resist yet he hugged her and said softly.Ragini please we belong together but i have a responsibility please help me ,he bent and traced her tear with his finger,he held that teardrop and said softly
Trust me Ragini i am urs sirf tumhara Anmol ,
She was looking in his eyes,he held her gaze ,she knew she was melting fast,lost in his eyes....she was drowning ,she saw his expressions change, he was gazing intently at her lips ,he shifted and soon she was facing him,her back to wards window
He cupped her face softly and she closed her eyes ,he blew air softly on her closed eyes ,then his finger traced her lips, her lips opened unconsciously ,inviting and he bent his head.................
Ragini woke up at first dawn ,she looked at anmol sleeping beside her and she blushed ,she tried to recall what happened last night ,how they ended up here and what time they slept.but she felt strangely relaxed,he was her body and soul....
Tumhara sirf tumhara he had said .she smiled shyly and suddenly she saw he was awake and looking at her with complete devotion ..
Kaisee ho ab
Theek aur aap
Main bhi
Ok listen please take Ana to shops today , get a dress or 2 for her,and for yourself too ok,sweety ..
She nodded happily
Take guni also
Ji
I Will try to come too from office
Yes yes
Ok now lets get ready..
I Will use guest Washroom,we got so late last night,he said with twinkle in his eye...
She blushed and said
Aap bhi na..
And rushed to wards washroom.
Half an hour later anmol was hurrying to his room,in bath rob ,freshly scrubbed ,he looked like a Greek god.
He failed to see Ana waving to him to get his attention
She had no choice but to follow him,she did not want to wake up whole house ,when she reached his bed room door ,she hesitated for a second but door was open and she called softly anmol ragini..
She walked in and came to stand still.......
Few minutes earlier...
Ragini was late and she was trying to dry her hair ,she was humming a romantic tune ,Anmol had rushed in from guest wash room and saw her ,he stood for good 2 minutes and then he went and stood behind ragini softly,she stilled towel mid air when she felt some one grabbed her waist and dig his chin in her shoulder ............
Delicious..yummy..
Kya she laughed
Your shampoo..it smells of green apples...
Tayaar ho jao she said with mock seriousness ..
Ana made a sound of despair ,but she controlled herself and got out of the room ,5 minutes later a very well controlled serious girl knocked on Anmol's bedroom ,excuse me
Oh Ana aao he moved forward leaving Ragini with loss of warmth ,
Ragini will take you to shops and in eevning we will go vsiit Taj mahal
Anmol what will I buy ,no its my treat sweetie..
Ragini will buy you something from us ,I will try to join ok..
Hmmm ok
She smiled at Ragini too,her eyes were dull,they had no twinkle ,Ragini felt a sorry for her earlier outburst .
I will go and get kids ready and left....
Afternoon...
Ana yeh wala dekho please ana di nahi yeh wala..
Tammy was constantly touching diffrent cloth materials..
Guni inko kuch khila do ..
School se seedha yahin aane ki zid kar li..
But mom we have to see what aan di buys....
Anything will look good on you...guin said sweetly aap lelo
Chachu bhi aate honge..
Ana and Ragini were left alone with saleslady..
Ragini saw a dark maroon salwar kameez with Punjabi embroidery ,she pointed Ana wo dekho na.
Nahi Ragini I like this and picked a shimmering anarkali suit in baby pink with silver work..
The dress was lit in artificial light , Ragini loved it but she knew she could never carry such color with her complexion..
Ana was watching closely, she bent and said softly..
Yeh wala ....it is An mol's fav color, she threw a challenging glance at Ragini
Ragini was at loss of words, she realized she did not even know what was anmol;'s favorite color.
Oh no it ws indeed pink, she had once brought him a pink shirt too she remembered...
Wah what a dress came a excited voice, acha so ladies have you brought whole market yet..
Kahaan abhi tak ek bhi dress final nahi ki hai ..came a response from weary sales lady
Ana you will look so good in this......remember you wore blue on day you were able to walk again
Haan and you had brought it for me ,
Yes came a nostalgic response...
Ragini and sales lady exchanged glances .
Madam wo Maroon wala asked sales lady
No no Ana you look good in pastels only said Anmol
Did you buy something Ragini ..
No she said
Mujhe nahi chahiye..
Ana smiled knowingly .......................
