Some spice in life is required and a little bit of nok jhok 😉for our couple as they are so shy but when there is silence then hearts call out and the feelings start to find their way to each others heart !!!
Later Ragini's inner desire to do something which she is passionate about comes knocking at her door.. she has always pushed it back and over the years never opens that part of her life '.Does she want to peruse what she left long back, will Anmol help her with it ? lets read along '.
[Next Morning]
The chirping birds sang a sweet song on the window which was half open and cool breeze as the season changed and leaves were falling on the lawn.
The winter sun had risen above the bed of trees to peep through into their room across the half opened window.
The rays of the sun fell its warmth on Anmol who was in deep sleep and his face.
The rays of the sun was more like a awake up alarm as no sooner he felt its heat and slowly opened his eyes. He looked outside the window as the glare of the sun fell on his face telling him its morning and this is your wake up call...
The top three buttons of his shirt were undone and his white vest was well exposed as her head rested on it to feel the Egyptian cotton texture ,he looked down Ragini was still holding on to him just as they had rested into each others arms past midnight. her warmth was enduring for him He remembered how beautiful she looked a change in her attire wearing that copper gown and he just couldn't get enough from complementing her. She has slowly started to like changes and liking his request. A smile on his face remembering last night and the dance, he ooked up at the roof and his eyes slowly wandered round the room to reach the crib and peeped to watch Arnav still asleep..Tracing his eyes back on his lovely wife,he heard Ragini's rhythmic breathing and turned to look at her, what he saw there took his breath away. She looked like a divine beauty in deep sleep.
Her silky soft hair covered her face so the sun hadn't fallen on her dusky face and disturbed her. Anmol noticed the curls of her hair was so smooth and silky that the soft breeze following the sun's warmth started to tickle her face. She was getting disturbed and feeling the breeze , Anmol with his index finger slowly pushed the curls behind her ears to let the rays fall on her and the breeze give her the natural wake up., but looks like last night was still in her mind and went back to her sleep.
It was a little short and she opened her eyes saw herself close to Anmol. She lifted head up and saw him looking at her, his gaze was still on her smooth dusky face. He placed his hands on hers which were resting to his left side and held them into a fold. He drew closer to her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead and she smiled with a beam of happiness.
"Good morning", came a soft voice as Anmol looked at her.
"Subha kab Hoyee pata hi nahi chala" she took a short yawn.
"Haa kal raat party mai mazaa ayya, thanks for wearing the gown.."
"Thanks kiss liye.. ,playing with his shirt button..., Apney tho kaha ki a change is good so I took that and for us...."
A smile left on both their faces, and Anmol gaze kept tracing her cheek bone and stopped at her beautiful lips and still holding her hand , which took a sudden release hearing a grunting noise from the crib..
"Lagtha hai Arnva utt raha hai ," lifting up her head and see movements in the crib..
"Nahi Ragini ," he is trying to just clear his nose to allow proper respiration, Dekthey hai .., he prompted her.
Arnav tried to get back to sleep, but looks like his breathing was troubling him and he started giving short coos which increased in successive intervals, leading to small cries..
"Apka beta hai humey zyada deer soney nahi dega ," she signed looking at the crib and back at Anmol and she sat up to leave when he held her hand..with a strong grip..her back was bare
"Kya hooa?? she turned to look at him..
Anmol got up and sat and snuggled close to her , she felt the shivers , didn't know what was going on as her eyes were still on the crib distracting her and what was Anmol doing?? she kept thinking....as his fingers traced her back ,through the satin material falling on her body and pulled her zipper to close it complete..
"Aab Jaoo he whispered as he completed his job.
Ragini finally understood his move and looked at him and said,?hanks he blinked his eyes to gesture a welcome.
Arnav's cries were accelerating as Ragini reached the crib.
She removed his blanket , his eyes were still shut and she lifted him and swayed him a little
Turning around , she walked near the bed and sat next to Anmol..
The feel of known hands and when the comfort zone had reached, Arnav finally woke up and looked at Ragini and gave his morning smile, Anmol clicked his fingers to draw his attention and Arnav's started kicking his legs and playing with Anmol's fingers..
"Kafi jaldi bada ho raha hai Arnav, haina Ragini observing him carefully..
"Hmm, Lag tho yahi raha hai she rested her head on his shoulder as they were enjoying with him..
The door pushed opened ,Mama , papa came Tammy running '
She sat on Anmol's lap and started playing with Arnav..
something suddenly caught her attention.
"Arrey Mama aap gown mai hi soo gaye..., she looked at Ragini followed by Anmol , papa
Apney dress nahi badley , aur yeah red color nishaan kaisa hai ??" she notices it and started touching the lipstick mark.
Looking at it he..."Who beta... ", trying to distract her and pulling her closer and looking at Ragini who had a smile on her face to cover up, "Achha aaj ka kya plan hai aaj tho chutti hai na apki, so whats the plan"
"Papa aaj I have a play date with my friend, Khushi ko bhi anna hai, " she was narrating about how her friend has a small doll castle and she has asked her to come and bring her barbies also.
"Tammy chalo jaldi say tayaar ho jaoo, Ragini instructed as she got up herself to change Arnav's diaper, and getting ready to do the daily errands..
"Mai thu aur thodi deer so ungaa.. I am off today stretching his arms and feeling most of the king size bed.. started to snuggle back under the jaipuri comforter.
Tammy was still around with him and talking till Ragini gave her a final call ...when she spotted the duo still engrossed in converation.
"Papa aap soo jayeye , I will come back from the play date and then you help me with my homework, its a small project .."
"Sure sweetheart, aab jaldi say u get ready and mama will drop you Anmol pushed her out,and started to unbotton his shirt, remembering Tammy's question looking at the stain ,causing him to smile , he discarded his shirt in the laundry basket and walked to the washroom to get ready ..
Ragini meanwhile got Tammy ready and Khushi also came with her barbie doll...
Anmol came out of the shower and took out a casual A&F(Abercrombie & Fitch)) shirt and his track pant and after brushing up his hair he walked out of the room to get caught by the little girls..
"Arrey bachha party all set..You must be excited about your playdate, Chalo give me my gift he said pointing to his cheeks and waiting for a peck.
The girls kissed him and they all went down to the living room...
Ragini was ready to drop them of , Arnav was also very excited to go for a ride...
Guddi came running to them and was a little worried...Didi, Mujhey na apni kaki say milna hai kya mai aaj waha reh jaoo , who mujhey yaad kar rahi hai
"Ha ha kyun nahi vaisay bhi mai market say hokar bachon ko chod nay wali hoon, I will drop you off and then go drop the kids she said placing her hand on Guddi's shoulder
"Thanks didi " , and as they leave Anmol tells them to have fun and he'll see them later waving good bye..
It was past midday and there was silence in the living room..Placing his foot on the recliner Anmol opened his laptop and the browser came up on the screen.
Yahoo page was loaded and as usual Anmol was about to click to check his mail which something caught his eyes, TODAY December 25th , Whats on your mind?
Something special for your wife..
1. A Date 2. Recipe 3. Dress
Resting his elbow on the arm rest , and his chin on his palm, he smiled to himself ,somthing was running through his head and he got back.
He started looking for something and quickly goggled for it.. After a few iterations, he finally found what he was browsing for. He saved the page for future reference and clicked the print command and sent the stuff for printing to the wireless printer which was in the study.
He didn't know what would be the outcome but he was quite excited to give it a shot ,as today was a day of relaxation and something on his mind thanks to Yahoo and their ideas...As he walked to the study stood by the door , a smile was on his face and a thought , Ragini would be back in a while and what more than to give her a surprise and then the printer's beep brought him out of his thoughts. He quickly got to it, picked up the warm paper that still had wet ink and made his way out of the room....and reading the document carefully but getting distracted on and off by some melodious music running on the radio as he entered the kitchen.
"Arrey lagtha hai guddi nay radio band nahi kiya, its good it will keep me busy as I start my work around here.. he said while placing the paper on the center island.
He read the instructions on how to make aloo paratha once again before he proceeded to gather all ingredients he would need.
First things first, boil the potatoes. Anmol peals the potatoes makes a few slices and places them in a microwaveable bowl of water and keep them in the microwave ,sets 15 minutes and hits start button..While they are being boiled, he would prepare the dough, he thought. Next he read how to prepare the dough. And he read it again. And again. The thought of messing his hands in the flour was driving him crazy, But then he was determined to make it happen as the thought had stuck on him ever since he decided to do something for Ragini ..But now that he was all by himself, and had promised himself to bring the task to completion, he had to knead the dough himself.
[Meanwhile]
Ragini who has return after dropping of the kids walks in with Arnav who seemed to be quite tired by the trip and needs a feed and a good long nap..She looks around and notices that Anmol is not there in the living room..
"Lagtha hai yeah room mai hai, ya study mai, aur lunch time bhi ho raha hai, Arnav ko jaldi say sulakey I must complete other work.talking to herself she went up the flight of stairs to the room.
Much to her surprise Anmol wasn't there in the room and she quickly sat down to nurse Arnav and then sang her soft lullaby to put him to sleep...and she walked out with the monitor in her hand and slowly closing the door behind her.
[Meanwhile In the kitchen]
Anmol looked around to look for the ingredients he would need to make the dough when something caught his attention. Bright light was shining into his eyes blinding him. He looked around the kitchen and there it was......the sun's rays coming into the kitchen from one of the huge windows falling on her stone embellished bracelet were reflecting back in his direction. He moved a bit to get away from the light and saw her standing at the door of the kitchen..smiling.
At first he was elated to see her, but soon he was embarrassed that she had seen him working around the kitchen. It wasn't the first time she saw him in the kitchen, but then he knew that she knew it was his first time preparing something in full swing. She walked towards him, pulling her pallu around her waist and tucking it firmly to the other side.
"Kya kar rehay hai aap, Main kuch madad karoon?"
"Ah, nahi Ragini. Main khud kar loonga. Waise tum kafi jaldi aa gaye?"
"Main....main woh....", the document caught her attention and she picked it up to read...Arnav bahut roney laga aur tak gaya tha tho wapas aa gayee"
she kept walking and was just about a feet from him.
Pulling her closer to him by tugging on her hand, he enveloped his arms around her completely. "Kya hua. Mere bina ek pal nahi reh sakti?" His eyes were shining bright. It wasn't anything different from what his heart experienced on seeing her.
[Radio voice- aur aab apko kuch romatic numbers sunayengay.. I hope you will like it , Ek Ajnabi saa... by Asha Bhosley and Adnan Sami]
"Waise aap yahan kar kya rahe hain?" she said breaking the trance they had gone into. She was sure someone would just come in or Arnav would start to wake up was keeping an eye on them. There would always be some disturbance when they would always find themselves lost in each other's eyes or until someone came and brought them out of their reverie. But today it seemed complete silence...only the two of them and the voice over the radio was engulfing the surrounding.
[Radio playing
Ek ajnabi sa ehsaas dil ko satayeHe moved closer to her ear and whispered in a husky voice "Tumhare liye aloo paratha banane ki koshish kar raha hoon, recipe jo tumharey haat mai hai !!"
She was touched....truly touched. Tears started welling in her eyes. He had already done so much for her, yet he was never tired of pleasing her more...and more...and even more. She awed at the man that stood in front of her, the man she started to open her heart out again to ,start feeling happy again, the man she learned to care for....
She didn't know tears had started to make a trail down her cheek until he kissed away the tear drop. There was something about the way he kissed, that sent shivers down her spine. She closed her eyes and her head fell back. She had never felt this way before, and though her face was fast enveloped in a blanket of heat, her cheek felt cool. That's when she realized he had placed a wet kiss on her cheek.
[Radio continues--
nazrein bichade pehre laga de
She quickly pulled herself together and said "Aata main bana deti hoon" as she released his grip around her waist. He let go of her then...smilingly. She went to the counter, pulled out a huge bowl from the cabinet under and put some flour into it. Pouring a little water, she started to knead the dough when she felt his hard chest against her back. He slowly slide rubbing his arms against hers, bringing his hand into the bowl he said close to her ear "Mujhe bhi seekhna hai, kabhi banaya nahi...its my first try.. Sikha do Ragini..."
The way he spoke to her, something triggered in her inside. She found herself slowly drifting away....away from her surrounding and state of mind.. Everything was phasing out..their surrounding, the flour, the air, the sun. And when his hand met hers inside the bowl, she felt a nudge that completely threw out any remaining awareness of their current state. All she could register was his touch.
Her head fell back against his chest. Seeing how affected she was, he started playing with her watery-flour-dipped fingers and entwined his with them. Her chest was heaving with the arousal which didn't help him keep calm. His other hand went slowly around her waist while her's snaked around his head.
Their hands in the bowl kept clutching into one another. He brought his lips to touch her nape, but then stopped a little close to blow air near her ear. A moan escaped her lips and he flicked her ear lobe in a wet kiss.
"Anmol aap kya kar rahey ho, Apko seekna tha na , Koi aa jayega she softly advised
"Shhhh...Koi nahi hai ya aaj, na Guddi, na Bacchey, aur bhiyya tho bahar gaye hai and you said na he will pick up kids.. he softly responded moving her hair aside..to make room for himself....
"lekin Arnav utt jayega... Naa suno idhar sirf radio ki awaaz hai no other disturbance just some soft romantic song is playing ..you and mee..
[Radio playing-- Shaayadi yahi pyaar hai...]
ye mulaqatein yeh teri ankheinRagini's excuses weren't working at this moment, she knew she couldn't do much....
Her back arched when she felt his lips on her nape and she dug her head even harder on his shoulder. His warm hand seeped through her exposed skin and engulfed her waist ,tracking the end and invariably removed her kamarband ,slowly and seductively....and it followed on the floor with a tinkle sound, Ragini could feel her heart pace rise as the hand traced her belly button(navel), he was getting to one of her sensitive part, started traveling up her belly and further up. Another moan escaped as she closed her eyes and his fingers were playing its tune, his touch was harder as his it went upwards when he reached her blouse line and then again his touch became as light as a teasing feather when his fingers trailed her neckline.
[Radio playing--Ek ajnabi sa ehsaas dil ko sataye
His lightly dough dipped hand had traveled up her wrist and forearm and was about to make its way to her shoulder when the phone rang and rudely brought them back to....sense making parathas, but still....not leaving her gaze...
"Phone baaj raha hai", she blinked
"Bajnay do.., mera nahi ha!" he reverted back..
"Its mine and I need to take it", and picked it up leaving a mark of atta on his face with her hands.
The call broke his precious moment with Ragini.
"Daamn why does phone have to ring at most inconvenient times..uff",he said ,but there was laughter in his voice. Still standing right there he felt she smeared something on his face during that spur of the moment and was checking it out smiling...
Smiling and moving her hair behind her ear she placed it to speak..
"Ji Ji yes you can come by at 5 pm and I will be at home.. she answered as she finished making the dough...
"Chaliye aap waha dinning table pay baitiyee I will quickly make parathas for you.." she turned him around
"Na Ragini yeah mera kaam tha, I was planning to make some lunch for you.." he stopped.
"Na .."Ragini said . "aap jao yahaan se...",trying to gently push him away.
"Aglee bar you can make with full concentration and no distraction..." she turned him back and asked him to leave ..
she held his waist to turn him and push him out ..
"Teek hai Teek hai I'll see next time ", he laughed turning to her his hands up in surrendering gesture and turned to look at Ragini for one last time before he went, as always his heart skipped a beat looking at her animated expressions....and then he looked at her and gave her a full smile and turned to walk away and suddenly stopped her kamarband had fallen on floor..... he turned to look at Ragini but she was busy ........he bent and picked up the jewel..he felt it in his hands he smiled and slipped it in his pocket and left... to the dinning area, waiting for hot parathas '
[A while later]
"Tammy Khushi how was your playdate...,asked Anmol who greeted them in the living room
"We had fun daddy..., I am so tired aur aab mera project bhi hai na !! she made a sad expression.
"No worries sweetheart Mai hoon na u go upstairs I'll come and help you" Anmol assured her.
"Anmol some people have come from the Sanstha , Who Ragini say milna chahathey hai Alkeh welcomed them.
"Yes Ragini, Ragini kaha ho tum he called
"I am coming and she quickly rushed down the stairs..
Anmol spoke a little with them and then left to Tammy's room
The members talk about the welfare of the sanstha and how things are running.. Ragini is very pleased by the developments and she says she would do everything to help out.
"Madam humary Sanstha ki yearly celebration hai aur this year is special one so we would like if you could give a performance on some nice traditional theme. It will be held at the Agra convention center. There will be a few kids performing and an act also." one of the members proposed to Ragini.
"Ji actually mainay classical dance karna chod diya , and I am really busy now to plan and perform in such a short time, actually I cannot make any commitments, Sorry to disappoint you.." Ragini was reluctant as she spoke.
"Please madam humey pata hai aap bahut achha dance karthi hai , you are so talented for our people give one performance on member went to her and requested once again..
"Sorry Mai issmay I cannot... Ragini is stuck to her word..
Anmol who hears all this while coming down the stairs, looks at Ragini and asks her to give it a thought..She was getting annoyed with him also but kept her calm...
Still Ragini is not willing to listen and she also tells the members to plan something else for the celebration..
Anmol who is also witnessing this heated debate/ argument and Ragini non cooperation, assures the members that she will defiantly help with this celebration and he will convince her and she herself will call and let you know..
Shaking hands with Anmol and thanking him, they leave Rajvansh mansion.
As they leave Ragini also starts to leave Anmol grabs her hand and she stops..
The grab was soo strong and she was trying to let go of herself..
Anmol with his soft voice says" Ruko Ragini !! Kya Kar Rahi hai Aap, why don't you want to help with the celebration. Dance tho apkey rooh mai basa hai... You love to dance , I know it been a while and this is an opportunity for you to perform..., kya problem hai
"Nahi Anmol essi koi baat nahi, Tamanna kay exams aa rahey hai , aur next weeks say tests hai, she needs my attention, my family comes first...aur itney saalon say I haven't done any performance in front of an audience, pata nahi kar paoongi ya nahi, ghar ki baat alag hai apko bhi pata hai na..."
"O Ragini , sweetheart, bas itnisee baat hai,Mai Tammy ko sikha doonga, and she is a bright student, she knows her work.. dekho yeah saab mujh pay chod do.. I will handle Tammy, you should dance and give a beautiful performance , OK", he cups her faces while expressing his thought.
Removing his hand from her face she places her hand on his, "Apko lagtha hai I can do it anmol, I didn't want to disappointment lekin its a commitment na thats why.."
"I am sure Ragini you can , aur mai hoon na tumharey saat .. It will be great trust me.."
Gunni just walks in and hears all this conversation...
"Chachi kya mai aapkey saat stage pay perform kar sakthei hoon?Actually I have a performance in college in one months time so I wanted to learn some steps for folk dance , please chachi ".
"Ha ha Gunni tum aur Ragini perform karogey ", Anmol assured.. and he took Ragini's hand and placed it on Gunni's and he clubbed both of them and said one!!"
They all smiled ,
"Anmol aap bhi na , dekha Gunni Koi apkey Chachu say seekey he knows how to win a women's heart....she looked at him and gave her his signature special grin.
"So tho hai Chachi.." Gunni laughed
[Preview : He stood watching her during the final practice , the grace she had was just a treat to his eyes..]
[A few days later]
Regular practices went by as a daily routine, Ragini was finishing her daily chores and then took her time to practice . Props were all decided and they went once to the convention center to okey the final stage set.
Anmol was busy helping Tammy prepare for her tests and she was content with Anmol's quick tips and she promised that she will complete the paper and get good scores..
Anmol and Ragini wouldn't get much time to talk other than discussing about the arrangement and he informing about Tammy's preparation.
Night would be tiring and they would just get their share of sleep to get back their energy and break for the following day.
Ragini would also give her all her wishes after she finished with her practice spend time with Tammy and make sure she was feeling good with her absence and her preparation with her papa was giving her all the boost..
A final rehearsal practice was needed. Ragini and Gunni decided to practice at home since they were quite content with the stage and the props and the costumes...
Gunni went to college and got back a little early that day and Ragini also finished the daily errands , fed Arnav and after his nap he was ready to go for a walk so Guddi took care of that responsibility and freed Ragini to give her complete concentration for the reherashal
Anmol also got back a little early that day as he had to teach Tammy a few important theories for her test and making sure she got the concepts well and he had prepared a mock test for her.
Anmol walked into Tammy's room and gave her a hug and inquired about her test for that day..
"Papa it was awesome... I answered all the questions and checked and submitted it properly.
Khushi nay bhi achha answer kiya.."
"Great !! Aab lets prepare for the last one which is tomorrow ...Kal ka din bahut important hai na and then you are done.." "Apki mama ko bhi kal performance dena hai and she must be busy.."
"Ha papa I am also so excited to watch her perform on stage .. aur gunni didi bhi perform kar rahi hai..., When I grow up like Gunni didi I will also perform with mama..."
"Hahhaa.. yes yes sure bachha you will, aab pheley hum kal kay exam kay liye prepare karthey hai lets go....", and they walk down to the study...
Sitting down at the study table, Anmol pulls up chair and hands over a question paper to her..
"Chalo dekhao apna sheet, Carefully look at it socho ki tum exam hall mai ho aur teacher apko paper deti hai, just like your previous ones",
"Ha papa its like a mock test na u said, Ki I do pretend and you will check my answers.."
she said pulling a pencil from the pencil stand.
[Meanwhile in Gunni's room]
Ragini enters the room and sees pairs of Ghungaroos on the bed..
She sits on the couch .. She puts her feet up and looking at the ghungaroo . She feels the bells the rough texture the brass coating..its been years since she went on stage , but now her confidence level has boosted and she knows with Anmol by her side she can do it.. coming back to the spot she wears one of them and then lifts her other foot and puts the other ghungaroos and stands up.
Gunni also enters the room and she sees Ragini , her eyes were moist but she avoid her glances , but Gunni comes up and asks her what happened... Ragini explains that its been a while since she had danced and today she is doing the final rehersal... and... Gunni assure her that everything will be fine..
She hits one of her feet against the other to hear the chan chan sound of the
ghungaroo...
She felt nice to hear the sound of the ghungaroo which was lost somewhere.
Gunni asks her again " Chachi kaisa lag raha hai !! Accha na"
Ragini nodded...
Now getting back to business they start their practice...
Gunni takes the remote and switches the track...
The first part of the performance belong to Gunni.. They were dancing on a traditional folk Rajasthani song..
[The song chosen is from the movie Lamhe]
Marey hiran nay mai bagai si kataar rey
Moriay nachey re adiraat ma....
Gunni starts her portion and she performs gracefully..The movements synchronize with the song and the hands flow in the rhythmic motion . Ragini corrects some of her steps as her toes weren't pointing straight and her hands were a little loose at the elbow..
She gave a few iterations and then she was perfect.
[Meanwhile in the study]
"Tammy good job aab I will give you 30 mintues time , so aap apna paper finish kar lo", he instructed.
"Papa I will do it aap bhi apna kaam karlo",
Anmol remembered that his laptop was lying in the room and he needed to send a few emails before tomorrows board meeting.
"O yes I have some work too Achha I will go and fetch my laptop , Aap apna test likthey rehna", and he walked out of the room..
[Gunni's room]
Gunni starts the song back as they had paused to correct her steps...
Ragini starts her portion of the dance '
She takes the different mudra forms in the dance. The movements depict that of a peacock who is dancing in the desert in full grace and elegance..
morani baaga ma bole aadhi raatama
chhananachhan chudiyaan khanak gayi dekh saahibaan
chudiyaan khanak gayi haath ma
Ragini is engrossed in the music and Gunni stops to watch Ragini. Her movements and the hands playings his mudras leaves gunni speechless.. She sits on a chair and rests her chin on her palm and watches...
[meanwhile]
Anmol walks up to the stairway and catches the flight of stairs and stops at the landing...
Song is playing and he is liking the music, he knew that the practice was going on and wanted to avoid distracting Ragini or himself , but was too engrossed with the music and he walked up to Gunni's room
The door is slightly opened so Anmol opens it a little more and is watching his beautiful wife resting his head against the door .
He has abroad smile on his face.. Gunni calls him but he doesn't want to disturb and indicates Gunni not to distract her.. while Ragini is still busy dancing to the song
Gunni looks back and says " Chachu aoona ander!!" Anmol nods his head to say no, but Gunni asks him to come in and watch Ragini dancing so gracefully !!
Gunni's mobile was in vibration mode and she gets a call so she steps out making room for Anmol to come inside but he still stays away from Ragini's sight..
Ragini covering her face by burring her head in her elbow in synchronization with the song leaves Anmol with a grin on his face...Her hip movements seem so graceful that he kept seeing all her gestures which were dwelling well with the song
main to laaj ke maare, ho gayi pani pani
sab logon ne sun li meri prem kahani
munhase baat nikal gayi baat baat maa, baat baat ma
chhananachhan chudiyaan khanak gayi dekh saahibaan
Ragini is taking spins after spins dancing her heart out... , and in succession displaying her bangles which are worded with the lyrics...
jaane kaun ghadi main nikale saajan gharase
main ghunghat mein jaaun gayi kitane savan barasaae
meri pyaas na bujhi re barasaat maa, barasaat ma
chhananachhan chudiyaan khanak gayi dekh sahibaan ...
Her movements of hands and legs in coordination with the song is so graceful that it didn't seem she had ever left dancing, she was towards the end of the song and finishing of her last spin she lands placing her head against Anmol's chest , who stood against the wall watching her, and enjoyed it, she was so engrossed with the music ending with
suni sej pe saiyaan sari raat main jaagi
tere piichhe piichhe meri niind to bhaagi
mera chain bhi gaya re tere sath ma
chhananachhan chudiyaan khanak gayi dekh saahibaan ...
Breathing heavily Ragini still having her eyes shut and resting her her head on Anmol's chest she slowly opened her eyes, her heart was pacing fast, she looked up and realized that herself leaning against Anmol ..
A strong hand engulfed her as she was still resting her head, and whispered soft
"Ragini it was beautiful...I think you never left dancing.. Tumharey movements bahut graceful hi",
Freeing herself and looking into those intense eyes of Anmol she smiled shyly "Thanks!!"
The cool breeze from outside flows in blowing a few strands of hair covering Ragini's face..
This blocks his concentration on her and he lifts his hand and moves the stands from her face..
Anmol comes a little closer to her and tells her " Ragini apney ander talent hai ussay bahar nikaal na chachiye Apnay liye aur Hum saab kay liye.. I saw your immense pleasure in the art, you were full of life..."
"Ha Anmol I guess your right , you are such a support for me ", she puts her hand on his..
"Magar aap yaha kya kar rehey ho?, Tammy kidhar hai ?" she wondered since she knew he was suppose to teach her..
"O haa actually I was about to take the laptop from the room and go back to the study , lekin idhar ruk gaya!!, I better leave Tammy will be wondering where I went, tum practice continue karo..", and he kisses her forehead and leaves....
