The past unveiled
Ragini was so restless about Anmol.He had not called her since that one time,when he hurriedly cut off the phone.she knew he was very busy there in Canada .Yet she missed his presence around her and house.How she missed his sweet smiling face ,his ever helping attitude .she sighed and suddenly phone rang , her heart skipped a beat
it was from his assistant Rita .
Hello Mrs Rajvansh
hello Rita kaisee ho
Anmol sir had sent a email to me,he informed me that he will be unavailable to communicate electronically for sometime ,he told you to wait until he comes back.
hmm kuch bataya when is he coming back
no ma'am nothing on that .
Ragini was suddenly very angry ..she threw the towel she was holding in her hand .He has time to write a email to his assistant while he cant call me and say hello for 1 minute...
itna bhi kya busy hua
she sat down on bed ,then suddenly she thought he must have communicated about business that too Rajvansh business, she felt a pang of guilt in her mind.
It was dusk by the time Anmol and Ana reached the car.Both were breathing heavy, Anmol was picking bua on such steep path while Ana pushed bua's wheel chair back .they had tried walking bua in wheel chair but it was too risky...
he gently lowered bua in back seat , she held his arm and said
thanks beta..
bhagwaan hamesha khush rakhe ,u brought me here , neither I nor my God will ever forget your gesture....
Ana sat beside her in back seat
Anmol started the engine
beta bus ek min ruk jao let me look for one last time...Ana don't you feel your mom and dad are watching us and your fufaji too
both women smiled and cried at same time,remembering some light family momments..
Finlay Anmol drove them to their Havel with heavy heart.the site of crash had affected him even more this time, he had visited it in past,last time was when he and Ragini had finally committed to each other few months back..yet today it brought such sad emotion inside him,
Bua's body did not take kindly to this whole hassle of traveling from Canada and now this car ride
finally she was breathing heavy,in pain and very disoriented at times due to lack of oxygen
they had arranged for portable oxygen cylinder and she had received her daily max dose for morphine as well.
both Anmol and Ana sat on a small twin sofa in bua's room and started their vigil.
Ana was crying silently,suddenly a hand slipped behind her shoulder and squeezed it gently ,and he pulled her close .
lets talk he said......
tell me what you feel about accident Ana,its time you spill it out,let that poison out ...
All i recall is the bright lights ahead,wipers ruining at full speed and suddenly we seem to be traveling on bumpy roads then i just felt door opened beside me,car banged ..i can never forget Granny's last words Anmol..
did she say something ..
she said beta anmol ka khayaal rakhna...😭
yet i couldn't ,bua did not let me...
Anmol swallowed those unshed tears and nodded silently. both sat in front of fire for long .
Finally Rano was able to concentrate again.She was lying in her bed ,she could hear soft voices o f Anmol and Ana from sofa across the room .She started to think of that fateful day. How she had felt a nervousness on that road , unknown fear was gripping her mind ,but her husband was holding her in his comforting way and she had dozed of ,when she suddenly got thrown out of the car .Ironic she thought ,due to her pregnancy she had not put seat belt on,so it saved her life,she was thrown out while rest just smashed into deep valley and finished in one fire ball.she did not see the fireball but the rescue group had mentioned it in their report.
she reflected how she had woken up in hospital ,a sudden sense of loss had gripped her,her eyes had stooped at a boy sitting there,swollen eye lids,nervous and he seem to have grown up from last time she had seen him. he saw her and came forward and said bua ji ..kaisee hain
beta kaise aur main kahaan hoon...
Bua ji wo ,she could see he was fighting tears ,he was broken yet he was trying to be brave.
Suddenly he grabbed her hands and said with such intensity ...MAin hoon aur hamesha rahoonga aap ke liye....yeh kabhi mat sochna ke aap akeli hain...a shiver had run down her spine then..
She thought she was not fair to him at all in all these years..she realized because of her own mistakes and bitterness; he had another battle ahead of him ,He would have to fight for Ana and also try to salvage his own marriage.she reflected how he had told her the other day ,he talked about his wife and kid .Such a big heart he has she thought ..to love some one's else's child as your own needs really big heart.
Ana was now sleeping on the sofa.Anmol stood up and went on to check on bua ,she was also sleeping ,though he could see dried tears from her eyes . He stood beside her bed and got transformed into another time.
Anmol chod use do mujhe...
Na bua pehle batao why are you knitting pink booties.what if it is a boy , bua showed mock anger.
shaitaan kahin ka do mujhe , i need to finish them and fufaji had come to sit beside her and said sweetly Nahi beta hum ko to beti hi chahiye.....
Such sweet were those times he thought.....He remembered a rescue group from near by army camp was dispatched immediately after accident.Ana was found on a rocky cliff not far from accident scene ,her legs were completely broken . Bua was the only one who had fallen off by force of door opening as luckily she had not locked her door and was not wearing seat belt ,but she lost her baby in this fall.Her brother's car had gotten stuck on a tree top down the valley so they had some hopes there ,but no by the time commandos reached the car they found his brother dead from broken neck and sister from severed blood vessel.His grandma was only one who was brought to hospital in critical condition ,she regained consciousness briefly as if just to tell him to take care of Ana.She asked about his dad and he couldn't lie to a dying woman ,but he was hesitant still .she somehow sensed it and told him one day you will find love and happiness beta...jsut keep your heart open and try to be a nice human being .
He tried remembering granny's last words and reflected somehow he failed Ana. he wowed to himself that he will make Ana happy once again,make her live for herself..
he decided not to sleep tonight....He remembered how bua had become such a different person Post recovery ,Ana's finances were mess as her Dad had done some shady deals,so Anmol had to take care of finances .He was grieving for a sister who could never get married , A brother who never grew up to be a man to handle this vast business empire ,a father who never saw him finally married and settled .
Yet the resolve to help bua and Ana had kept him going,his dad's business shares had regained its lost value in just 6 months.The youth was over before it even started ,it was time for responsibilities and he had grown up in one single day.
Bua had blamed his family for her ruin, she had created a huge scene at the cremation.But she had to swallow pride and get help from him.Finally once Ana was fully recover and they were in states ,she got her chance.Anmol had asked her if he could marry Ana in next 3 years .She had gone so still at his request ,he remembered and then she had vanished without trace, he tried finding them, but all his letters inquiries went in vain and then suddenly he had gotten side tracked with tornado that hit his life in form of Ranvir. .
Bua was pretending to be asleep..she remembered the rage she had felt on learning about Veer's autopsy report. he was drinking and that action had snuffed so many lives before time..
She remembered how she had build the anger around her as a defense coating,she had seen Ana's struggle to get back to walking ,she had witnessed Anmol's enormous contribution and effort,yet that ice had not cracked.Her heart was locked inside a ice sheath ,no amount of warmth and love from Anmol could melt it.
her neice's hollow existence had not weakened her rissolve to severe all ties with Anmol ,neither did those letters he wrote to her on her old address.She had made sure those letters got forwarded to her ,she had never given Ana her letters ,yet she lkept them safe . ,may be her conscious knew she was wrong..That ice had finally melted after she got diagnosed with terminal cancer.
She realized now how wrong she was in keeping him away,he was now so far out of Ana's reach .She felt she had failed her children,her family . She struggled to get up Anmol came forward from darkness to help her.Beta jao Ana ko le ao...
soon Bua was seeking forgiveness .from Ana
beta i was selfish , i kept you away from him , I ruined your life, I failed to understand your love for him, i was selfish , i ruined chance of happiness for 2 of you, now please beta support him ,he loves Ragini ,so you love her too,support him.Both you and i caused him enough grief,its now time to bring happiness to him,beta support him ok..
Ana was in freeze ..Ragini Ragini Ragini....anmol ki biwi....biwi biwi biwi,,,
3 hrs later..
Anmol and Ana were sitting on same sofa they had sat before,this time Ana felt no warmth ,
she listened to anmol's story .In low light his face was not visible fully but she could still see the softness whenever he mentioned Ragini and Tammy's name.He told her how he was forced to marry Ragini .He told her about anguish and 6 years of bleak existence.He mentioned about vasu and how it hurt him that she has still not accepted him as son of the house. he told her about his insecurities ,how he felt deep down that Ragini loved Ranvir still.she listened,nodding at appropriate time ,thinking ,her expressions blank......
suddenly the moment was broken with a cough from bua's room..both ran ..............forgetting their discussion...
Rano felt as if someone was sitting on her chest ..she couldn't breathe,she gasped for breath,her hands frantically searching for water...suddenly she felt as if all pain had ended ,she felt as if she was floating in air,she could see Anmol and Ana shaking someone frantically .....it seemed like her own bed..who was there..suddenly she looked up,she saw her beloved Ashok ,smiling at her, a light guided her and then she looked down and saw ANmol was hugging Ana tightly ,she smiled ,she knew Ana was safe ,she knew she had done her job,now she could be at peace once again...............
2 days later....
Anmol had gone to do further arrangements,Ana was in trance all these hours.
ring........ring..........
suddenly she was woken from the dream...
Hello .same voice ragini thought,she almost dropped her phone off..
hello yes how can i help you ..hello
.ji sorry i was trying to call my husband, i must have gotten wrong number
Ragini mumbled
no came a dry voice ,it is his phone..
ji ..
I am Ana ,he forgot his phone here
Where are you ragini said
Missouri of course Ana said dryly
call back in one hour ,he will be back....................
Ragini sat on the sofa with thud
she had been missing Anmol like anything in last few days..
so out of blue she had decided to call his cell phone knowing it will go on voice mail directly as he was not in India....she just wanted to hear his soothing voice to calm her down.answering machine message would be enough to soothe her frazzled nerves she had thought.
instead she was facing her worst night mare.
tears were threatening to fall
anmol is in India
he never went to Canada
he lied to me
he is in masourie..she hugged a pillow to her stomach,she felt as if she had fallen of a roller coaster.......
how long she sat like this she couldn't understand....
suddenly her phone rang..
yes ragini you called Ana said you were calling
haan maine kiya aur yeh kya hai anmol...yeh sab kya hai..
which bua of yours is sick,you liar ..i don't want to speak to you ever again..
you went to meet your girlfriend she threw her phone across the room...
it smashed to ground in a metallic heap...
anmol stared at the phone..
2 days since bua had died,he had not even thought of anyone ,he was so busy..
then suddenly a hint of smile came on his face.......
Ragini so you are a woman after all😳
