The test.....ishq ka imtihaan...
The darkness was slowly disappearing and dawn was breaking from east.Banks of jamuna were getting alive with chirpy birds singing tales of today .
Anmol stirred in his sleep,light seeping through his eyelids ,forcing him to try opening them slowly,he was still in a slumber .He forced them to open and tried turning to his side in the process.Suddenly he realized that he was not able to move his left arm ,he tried moving it a bit more forcefully and at same time turned to look at the reason of all this and he stilled in the process.
He saw the word's most beautiful hand covering his arm, It brought a rush of emotion into his his chest and constricted it so hard that he could feel the physical pain from it.She looked like a angel who finally got a chance to rest, a angel who was constantly spreading happiness to others''She was sleeping deeply in sitting position ,cheek resting on bed and breathing evenly in deep sleep.He knew how hard it was to sleep in such a uncomfortable position.He turned to his side and slowly removed her hand ,hir fingers lingering there for a second as he savored the feeling of being so close to her.He looked at her for good 2 minutes,and it felt like eternity and he could go on and on just like that
Then slowly he bent forward and held his breath for a second while sweetly moving her hair to one side,they were covering her face partially .She stirred and he continued to arrange her hair away from her face with a soft expression on his face,his eyes saying their story so openly,so full of love. To a onlooker this sceen would look like magic and one can say if this is not love then what is it.This very moment is what people call love and complete devotion.
Then very gently Anmol shook Ragini's shoulder
Utho Ragini utho subha ho gayi(jago jago jago subha ho gayi...........😊)
She opened her sleepy eyes and looked into heaven, Depth of Anmol's soul was reflecting in those eyes.She kept looking unable to move her eyes away .Then suddenly those lips moved and he softly said those 3 words..
Main theek hoon(diaap bhi nah!😡😡 mujhe laga three mgical words I LOVE U😳😳😳) -- those 3 simple words conveyed much more than a passionate declaration of love could ever do. She did not feel uncomfortable at all, the whole atmosphere was magical. it was their moment .Instead she took the very hand that had shook her awake few seconds ago and held up to it to pull herself up on the side of the bed. Her action brought them much closer, all she needed was to to lean towards side a little bit and she would be in world's most secure place ,his arms''😳😳
The hand was just a touch warm not burning like last night she breathed a sigh of thanks and looked on to his face, it was little flushed ,her forehead had two vertical lines of slight frown and she let go of his hand to sit more comfortably on bed. Her one leg was folded underneath her while other one was on floor and she faced him. He was sitting up too and his blanket still covering his legs. He moved one of his arms behind her and sat there savoring the moment . His arm was not touching her yet it was doing something to her senses, and he tilted himself sideways to look intently into her eyes. She took her hand to touch his forehead ,he was not fully ok ,yet she knew she couldn't stop him from going to work today ,she dropped that hand and rested it on the bed and he covered it with his free hand and she pressed herself back into that arm .Both sat there without talking, forgetting or you can say ignoring what happened last night ,just living in the moment and enjoying the dawn break and its promises of a new day. Both thinking different things about each other ,yet also knowing that path ahead was rough,full of twists and turns and unknown storms. But it was enough for now
Bang what was that sound, both just jumped and then laughed. It was the Alarm clock, so finally it was indeed time to wake up. Ragini went up to it to shut it off and came back.Anmol was now standing up getting ready to go freshen up. She came up to him and softly subha ho gayi hai tayaar ho jaeye ..main bhi fresh ho jaun
She turned to move and he held her hand softly and said haan Ragini subha to ho gayi gai magar safar to abhi shuru hua hai⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'.. hai na👏👏
She covered his hand with hers and reassured him with a gesture worth million words..she just pressed into that hand and then nodded softly as if promising to be with him on that path.
Suddenly she turned and said I know you have some really important stuff to do , but please please come home on time and rest. (anmol...... aapni bwi ki baat suna karo😊)
He nodded and smiled to himself'.😳
Anmol was sitting in the office deep in thought. He had instructed his PA to not bother him at any cost unless it was a family emergency or anything.He had called Ragini earlier and told her not to wait for his dinner as he was busy. It was late in the day about 7 pm and it was twilight already soon it will be pitch dark as he stared outside his office window. Hid door was swung open and he was taken aback in surprise .In came Vasundhra Rajvansh with a file in her hand,she was holding her pallu and her cleopetra style hairstyle and eye makeup always irked him . It reminded him of her love for complete control over everyone and everything.Irritaion flashed through his eyes and he stood up more out of habit of respecting elders.
Yes Mrs Rajwansh what can I do for you he said.Vasundhra stared at him for few seconds with her head tilted sideways. Her eyes reflected her anger and restlessness.He stared at her for few seconds waiting for her answer .His USB key fell off and he turned to pick it up from the ground , suddenly the file hit him on forehead leaving him in such sharp rage that the sudden pain from impact was forgotten by him . The papers from file were flying across the room as vasu the royal highness had left door open and it was typical windy October evening. Yet he controlled himself and straightened. The redness was spreading across his forehead and he was completely unaware of that .Instead he looked intently at vasu and pressed the intercom button.Yes sir came a crisp and very professional voiceCome in now rita he said with such calm tone that his Pa had a rare moment of nervousness. She slowly walked in and saw mess in the room.Yes come in rita and can you please help me pick up the papers (arre mujhe bula liya hota...😳😳😛paper kya sab kuch saf kar deti..........😉😆),together they picked them ignoring vasu .who was now trembling in rage .She hated it when people ignored her, and Anmol knew this .So this time he had decided to make vasu taste her own medicine.He gave all the pages to PA who arranged them with ones she picked to get the file together back again , he pointed to PA to pass the file to vasu and sat down to look at his computer screen once again . He looked up and briefly said you can leave now ladies, I really need to finish this tonight.Rita was breathing sigh of relief,she could sense the Atmosphere inside. It was so thick with tension that one could cut it with knife. Vau lunged at anmol and held him by his collar ,Poor rita on verge of leaving was rooted to spot in fear.How dare you dismiss me..i am the owner while you are caretaker ,understand never forget this she yelled. Anmol counted till ten and tried to control the urge to shake her away .He reminded Rita of that deep sea which keeps quiet at surface always yet so many storms were hidden inside its depth. The day that storm surfaced out it blew everything away. She felt anmol was like that today on verge of a rare surge.Suddenly he told her softly Mrs rajvansh let me go(dekha................... ragini ho yah phir vasu koi bhi anmol ko chorna nahi chata😉😆) the seriousness and bone chilling tone in his voice made even vasu shudder with unknown fear.She let him go but continued glaring at him.What did you just say Mrs rajvansh . I may be the caretaker but I have full control of your destiny and that contract we have'..Vasu turned pale and kept quiet . Then she yelled remember one thing Anmol Sareen you are not ranvir and you can never be my and ragini's ranvir😡😡 .A knife went through anmol's whole body and he couldn't bear it any more😭 .atmosphere of room was making it impossible to breathe. He tugged at his tie and cast it off and undid top few buttons .Yet it did not help .He did not even grab his car keys and left everything there and just left. He started to walk very fast and went outside. Cold air hit him in chest and made it even more harder to breathe, he broke into a run and ran for about half hour in random direction.
His breath heavy ,both hands on sides and half bent anmol stood on banks of jamuna , he could see taj mahal from it ,night was close to full moon but partially covered with clouds ,he looked at outline of taj mahal suddenly Taj was lit like a dream then it was pitch dark,it was lightening and clouds had become thick. He turned towards the road and started walking again ,rain started to pur on him and he kept walking towards home, alone lsot and deep in thought. His heart and short-lived happiness crushed by vasundhra rajvansh.He realized without telling Ragini what happened that fate full day 6 years ago he couldn't even think of moving on with her towards the new dawn.It was 2 o clock when he reached home, he must have walked good 6-7 kms and he was drenched and chilled to bone ,he saw the gates of the mansion and a weary sigh escaped from him. He entered inside shocking the watchman and reached inside. He went slowly to his room to take his clothes trying not to make floor so wet.Ragini was sitting on the sofa when he waled in hearing the foot steps she turned on the light .Her hand covered her mouth in shock when she saw anmol. He looked like a lost child she ran to him saying kya hua aap ko'all other thoughts escaped her mind except one to comfort him. She shook him Tammy ke papa'.ky a huaKahahn the bheege kyun ho itne You forgot phone at work only Rita told me that mummy ji was being rude to you.He opened his mouth and said Ragini baad mein please I need to get out of these if I want to save Mr rajvansh from tax messOh acha''.haan aap kapde badloShe rushed to pull out his light baby blue kurta pyajama ,it was her favorite, she realized she unconsciously pulled this one for him and blushed. Then shocking her head and telling herself to get her head examined, s he gave him those and a towel. he went into washroom and took a hot shower and changed. he came out and Ragini was waiting with hot milk.Ragini you should have gone to bed.i told you I was busyNahi anmol what did mummy ji say to you.Jaane do na ragini what can she say which she hasn't said in pastShe said phir bhi Rita was worried about you poor girl called me saying Bhabhi you need to find him ASAp but kahaan jati ghar ke sab kaam aur bachon ko chod keHe stared at her for few minutes the rain had finaly done the damage he knew he was going to be very very sick for next few days.A voice spoke from insideIts now or never AnmolHe sat on very sofa ragini was sitting on earlier and broke down sobbing, ragini was shocked and she went to console him. He kept crying about his failed attempts to make vasu understand ,and now indu will suffer as he was stupid enough to get drenched in rain and tax file wont be finished on time.She took his face in her both hands and said ..Jaane do na'you have to be better rest will all fall in place by itself. Bus we need your presence 'Anmol looked at her and he kept staring'Kya hua ragini said, what are you looking for'..nothing and then he closed his eyes and sat back into sofa inhaling deeply. she kept gazing at him 'so touchedSuddenly his eyes shot open and at same time the she had turned on the radio remembering yesterday when both of them had glimpsed magic in garden.Another rare melody was playing'..She kept staring at him ..Jaane kya dhoondti rehti hain yeh aankhein mujh meinRaakh ke dher mein shoal hai na chingari hai'.The song started to play in his mind while he kept looking at her too'. Both lost in their own thoughts'Zindagi hans ke guzarti to bahut acha tha'Kher hans ke na sahi ro ke guzar jaayegiRaakh barbaad mohabat ki bacha rakhi haiBaar baar usko jo cheda to bikhar jayegiJaane kya dhoondti rehti hain yeh'.Anmol ran for radio and switched it off, he couldn't bear it any more(aap to anmol ko mar hi daloge lagta hai😭😭😭)Ragini why am I still alive why, he closed distance between them and grabbed her handsYeh kya keh rahe hain aap'(even I cant brea this😭😭)Kyun mujhe maut nahi aayi us din kyun 'And he grabbed her and hugged her..tightlyShe was shocked for a second and then she gave in and hugged him back,more like consoling a child,he was burring hot'.She said you are not well lie down please.Let me say it todayOtherwise I will dieBauji say don't break your promise to Ranvir but ragini I cant live and breathe if I ddi not tell you..Ragini was confusedWhat are you saying ,you are fulfilling his promises , you are living this thankless and unhappy life just to fulfill his promises..No ragini he cried his voice trembling and hoarse'.He saved me ragini I should have been the one to die ,who needed me no one, I had lost everyone in car accident ,but he risked his life to save me Ragini he pushed me away but couldn't get away in time from land slide. He was helping me to run away from land slide,if I had not slowed him down he would be alive and you would be happy.😭😭😭😭😭Not living the life like a widow still in her heart .😭😭He broke the hug and shook her why ragini why why 'why so many promises from some one who has to live that hell every day and night'why why..he said..Ragini was in shock and disbelief she stepped back from him in shock😭😭Anmol saw her and he knew he had lost her now.. he moved his hand towards her but she did not see it, her eyes blurry with tears and turned back to get away from this'..and bumped into shocked figure of vasundhra Rajvansh''.
