Chapter 2
Ragini and Neha enter Neha's house. Neha at the door calls out "Ma...Ma dekhiye toh koun aaya hai." Neha's mom comes out of the kitchen saying "Koun aaya hai?" she looks up and sees Ragini standing there. Neha's mom has a smile on her face and says "Ragini?" she quickly walks up to her and gives her a tight hug as she says "Ragini, kaisi hai beta?" they break the hug. "Kahaan rehti aaj kal? Pehle toh bohut aati thi, aaj kal aati hi nahin. Kya hua?" Ragini smiles and says "aunty bas woh aane ka waqt hi nahin mila, aap bhi nahin aayi...neha ki sagaai hogayi, aur aap humein aaj bata rahi hai, jab shaadi ko ek hafta reh gaya." Neha's mom says "Kya karoon beta, sab itna jaldi hogaya ki kya bataun." Neha says "ab saari baatein darwaze pe hi karego?" Neha's mom says "arrey main toh bhool hi gayi. Andar aa ragini."
Ragini and Neha ented, neha tells ragini to get comfortable while she'll put her baggage in the room. Neha's mom says "Ragini tu baith main zara gas pe daal rakh ke aayi thi, main abhi aati hoon. Araam se baith." Ragini says "Aunty main aapki madat karti hoon." Neha's mom tells her to take a seat, while ragini insists to not to be so formal with her, neha's mom gives in and both go to the kitchen, Ragini begins to help neha's mom with the cooking. Neha's mom says "aur ragini, ghar mein sab kaise hai?" Ragini says "Sab theek hai aunty...neha ki shaadi ki khabar sunke sab bohut khush huye." Neha's mom says "acha tujhe bhi ladke waale dekhne aaye the na? kya kaha unhone?" Ragini's smile fades away and is in thoughts. Neha's mom looks at Ragini and says "Kya hua Ragini?" Ragini comes to her senses and says "huh? Kuch kaha aapne?" Neha's mom looks on at her and says "sab theek toh hai na Ragini?" Ragini nods looking unsure. "toh phir bata, ladke waalo ne kya kaha?" Ragini says "jab unhe pata chala ki main anaath hoon, unhone...mana kardiya." Neha's mom looks upset and says "woh ladka tere kaabil nahi tha ragini. Tu mujhe bata, kaisa ladka chahiye tujhe, main dhund ke laungi tere liye." Ragini smiles unwantingly. Neha's mom says "Arrey sharmao mat, mujhe batao." Ragini is about to say something "Main batati hoon." Interrupts neha, both ragini and neha's mom turns around to look at neha. Nha walks in the kitchen and says "Main Ragini ki pasand achi tarah se jaanti hoon." Ragini says "acha? Toh bata meri choice kya hai?" Neha says "tujhe aisa ladka chahiye jot ere mann ki har baat jaan jaaye, jisse dekh kar puri duniya ruk jaaye, maangne par woh jaan bhi dede." Ragini smiles. "Aur tujhe itna pyaar kare ki teri zindagi mein gham ke liye koi jagah na bache." Ragini's smiles fades. "Right?" Ragini smiles and says "Aisa iss duniya mein koi nahi hai Neha, aur agar hai, toh woh mere naseeb mein nahi." Ragini walks away. Neha thinks, and goes after Ragini. neha's mom also feels sad.
Ragini is sitting in the room; neha comes in the room and says "Ragini kya matlab ki tere liye nahin bana hai?" Ragini looks a neha and says "Zindagi ko apne marzi nahi jiya jaa sakta hai neha. Aise ladke sirf filmo aur kitabo mein hote hai, haqeeqat mein nahin." Neha says "Hote hai, aur dekhna teri zindagi mein aisa hi ladka aayega, aur bohut jald. Samjhi." Ragini smiles. Neha says "ab neeche chalein? kaafi tayaariya karni hai..sangeet hai aaj." Ragini nods.
It's evening and everyone is busy preparing for it. Neha's nani arrives and sees ragini there. She goes to ragini and says "Arrey Ragini." Ragini looks at her and says "Namaste nani." Neha's nani says "Tujhe kisne bulaya?" Ragini says "Ji?" neha sees this and says "arrey Ragini aaja mehndi lagaale." Ragini hesitatntly nods as she smiles. Nani makes a weird face and says "bhagwaan shaadi tak sab theek rahe." Nani too leaves.
Everyone is getting their mehndi done, besides Ragini. Neha says "Ragini tub hi mehndi lagale na." Ragini smiles. Nani interrupts "Haan Ragini beta lagaale mehndi, pata nahi tujhe shaadi ki mehndi lagegi bhi ke nahin...kitne ladko ne toh mana kardiya hai tujhe." Ragini gets upset.
Neha's mom comes and says "arrey ladkiyon tum sab chup kun baithi ho? Gaana baajana nahi hoga kya?" Neha smiles and says "arrey ma, ragini ke siwai or koun iss shaadi mein rounak laa sakta hai?" Neha's mom smiles and ragini is surprised. Neha says "Ragini, tu bohut acha gaati hai, please aaj mere liye gaa na. aur woh waala gaana ga jot u bachpan mein gaati thi." Ragini refuses that she cannot sing. Nani says "arrey neha beta, kya keh rahi ho? Ragini ko aisa koi gaana aata bhi hai jismein shaadi ki khushiya shaamil ho aur apne babul se bichadne ka gham bhi. Asia gaana jisse sunke aankhein bhar aaye. Ab isse aisa gaana kahaan se aata hoga?" Neha says "Nani please." Nani says "theek hai nahin bolti main...eh chori tujhe jo gaana aata hai gaa, main kuch nahin bolungi." Neha says "ab toh tujhe gaana hi hoga ragini. Nani ko batade kit u kitna acha gaati hai."
The dholki begins to play'ragini is in a delmma wether to sing or not. Neha signal to her to start singing. Ragini smiles and begins to sing "Sabki baraatein aayi doli tub hi laana, dulhan bnaake humko raja ji le jaana, chaha tha maine socha tha maine, kya kay the armaan dil nadaan ke. Aankhon mein tarey naache, aankhon mein taarey naache, ghungat you uthaana. Phir humko dheere dheere bahon mein chupaana. Sabki baraatein aayi." Ragini is pulled away by a few girls to dance. She too begins to dance. "Apno se juda, main hoti huyi, kuch hasti huyi, kuch roti huyi. Jab chodungi babul ki gali, tumre aangan aaungi chali. Jab tan man se teri banungi, gori baiya meri dharna hole se...mehndi waale haathon ki, chudi khankaana. Phir haule haule mujhko baahon mein chupana. Sabki baraatein aayi doli tu bhi laana, dulhan banaake humko raja ji le jaana. Sabki baraatein aayi." Ragini ha stears in her eyes. Neha comforts her. Ragini wipes away her tears. Everyone begins to clap. Neha's mom says "Wah Ragini, kitna pyaara gaana gaya tune...sach aankhein bhar aayi." Ragini smiles, she sees that one of the light stand is about to fall on neha, so she pushes her away. Everyone is shocked to see this. nani says "Mujhe laga tha ki iss ladki ke yahaan rehne se kuch na kuch kharaab zaroor hoga. Dekha kya hogaya." Everyone begins to talk about ragini. Ragini is in tears. Hearing this neha is unable to stay quiet and she says "nani main theek hoon, aur ismein ragini ki kya galati hai? Aapko toh uska shukriya adaa karna chahiye, usne meri jaan bachayi hai, aur aap ula ussi pe ilzaam laga rahi hai?" Ragini is crying, she says "Neha" neha turns around, ragini signals her not t say anything. Neha's quietens down. Ragini goes to nani and folds her hands in front her. She says "Nani ji, mujhe maaf kar dijiye. Agar aapko aisa lagta hai ki mere yahaan rehne se kuch ashubh hota hai toh, main chali jaati hoon. Main waada karti hoon, ki neha ki shaadi ka ek bhi function mein aap mujhe nahi dekhengi." Nani looks the other way. Ragini looks at everyone, neha's mom is in tears, including neha.
Ragini goes upstairs and gets her things and comes down. Neha says "Ragini tu kahin nahi jaayegi." Ragini slisghtly shakes her head and indicates her to let her go. Neha refuses to move away. Nani says "Neha agar yeh ladki yahaan rukegi, toh main nahin rukungi." Neha is shocked. Ragini indicates her to let her go. Neha unwantingly let's go off ragini, and ragini leaves from there, leaving neha in tears.
Ragini is walking on he streets in tears. She reaches hom after some time and knocks on the door. PC and Kaushi wake up. PC says "Itni raat gaye koun ho sakta hai?" Kaushi says "Pata nahi ji...chalkar dekhte hain." PC and kaushi go to open the door vinu also comes down. He opens the door and sees Ragini standing there. Vinu says "Ragini? tu? Itni raat gaye? tut oh neha ke saath rehne waali thin a ek hafte ke liye?" Ragini is in tears. She hugs vinu, vinu says "Ragini? bache kya hua? Tu...tu ro kyun rahi hai? Andar aa." Vinu takes Ragini inside. PC gets worried seeing ragini in tears and rushes to her. Kaushi is curious aswell. Vinu says "Ma, zaraa ragini ke liye paani le aao please." Kaushi nods and brings water for ragini. Pc offers Ragini water. Ragini drinks a bit of it and puts it on the table. PC says "Beta kya hua? Tu ro kyun rahi hai?" Ragini tells PC and Vinu about what happened at neha's sangeet. PC and Vinu get angry about it, vinu is about to go to neha's place, but ragini holds his hand and indicates him not to go. Vinu says "Ragini, main sab kuch brdaasht kar sakta hoon, par tujhpe koi ungli uthaaye, yeh hargiz bardaasht nahin karunga main. Meri toh yeh baat samajh nahi aa rahi ki, agar koi anaath hai toh kya uski galati hai? Ab ragini ke ma baap usse sadak pe marne ke liye chod gaye, toh kya ismein iski galati hai? Sab yeh toh dekhte hai ki yeh anaath hai, par yeh koi nahi dekhta ki ismein achaaiyan kya hai. Jo sanskaar mujh mein hai, woh hi ragini mein hai. Maine kabhi ragini ko apne se alag nahi samjha, apni sakhi behan se zyada pyaar kiya hai isse, toh log kyun nahi samajhte yeh baat?" Pc says "Shaant ho ja vinu beta, yeh baatein yahaan ke log nahi samajhte, inki soch bohut hi chotti hai. Aur hum logo se kya keh sakte hai, jab humaare hi ghar mein ragini ko paray maana jaa raha hai." PC looks at Kaushi, kaushi looks down, malti makes a face. PC says "chal beta ragini apne kamre mein chal." Vinu and PC take ragini to her room. Malti says "maa ji bauji ne aapko itne kuch suna diya, aur aap chup rahi?" Kaushi looks at malti and walks off. Malti says "arrey wah! Iss ghar mein koi tv serial se kam drama nahi hai." She smiles.
It's morning; ragini is standing by the window, thinking about the sangeet. PC comes there and says 'Ragini?" Ragini is in deep thoughts. Pc goes behind her and places his hand on her shoulder and once again calls her name. Ragini snaps out of her thoughts and turns to see who was behind her. Ragini says "Bauji aap? Aap kab aaye?" Pc smiles and says "Bas abhi abhi. Kya soch rahi thi beta?" Ragini shakes her head and says "Kuch nahi bauji." PC says "Main jaanta hoon Ragini kal jo sangeet mein hua usse tujhe bohut dukh pohuncha hai, par agar tu aise udaas rahegi toh tere bauji ko bilkul bhi acha nahi lagega." Ragini looks at PC. "Tu humesha hasti huyi achi lagti hai." Ragini fakes a smile. "Chal beta neeche chal ke naashta karle." Ragini says "Bauji mujhe bhook nahi hai." Pc says "Aise kaise bhook nahi hai? Chal." Ragini says "Please Bauji." Pc looks on at Ragini and says "theek hai, toh main bhi tab hi khaunga jab tu khaayegi." Ragini is surprised and says "Nahin bauji, aap...acha theek hai chaliye." Pc smiles. both leave downstairs.
Kaushi is serving, she feels a little dizzy. Ragini notices that Kaushi is looking really pale and does not look okay. Ragini says "Ma, aap theek toh hai na?" Kaushi says "Main...main theek hoon." Pc says 'Mujhe aapki tabiyat kuch theek nahi lag rahi." Ragini says "Ma aap baithiye." Ragini makes her sit on the chair, she feels that Kaushi's body temperature is high and says 'arre ma, aapko toh bohut tex bhukaar hai." Pc says "Bhukaar?" Kaushi says "Main theek hoon." Kaushi gets up, ragini and PC tell her to rest, but kaushi does not listen, she is walking towards the kitchen, but she blacks out and falls on the ground.
PC and Ragini are shocked to see Kaushi fall on the floor
Precap: Ragini is taking care of kaushi.😊
