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(hmm ab pata chalega madam ko ke ignore karneka matlab kya hai??👍🏼) ..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 (di still now its a very sad & serious story..but after reading ragini's reaction I cant conrtol myself but to laugh..how insecure she is🤣)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😳( oh ho anmol k chere pe bhi smile hai....😳)

The past ..mystrey unfolds....

The girl in his arms was laughing and crying at the same time , his heart squeezed and he could feel physical pain from it.He held her at Arm's length anda great sigh escaped from deep within him..and he said sweetly and gently..

pehle si lagti ho bachi si ...

and sweetly pulled her cheeks with twinkle is his eyes....

She kept looking at his face ,eyes searching something,,

but you have changed , the last decade made you even more handsome.....kya abhi bhi ladkiyon ka shikar kar lete ho apni aankhon se

Anmol chuckled.... what do you think? 😉

Suddenly she hugged him again ,it made her feel so secure , like a little girl she felt a sudden ease ,she felt as if a huge weight had shifted from her shoulders....

he is here ,he will take care of things.

ahmmmmm sabhi baatein darwaaze pe karogi..

bring him in , let him freshen up and then you talk

Varun uncle said with mock seriousness

They went inside the house , Anmol turned to Ana and said first I want to see Bua

pani to peelo beta varun said

uncle i came for bua...pehle wo..

Varun uncle had a light of respect for Anmol in his eyes.

Rano had heard the car arriving in driveway ,she was almost holding her breath, she had asked her helper to raise her bed so she was sitting up almost.

she had gotten her favorite shawl out and it covered her emaciated shoulders....

She heard quick footsteps on stairs and door opening..

in came the boy she had always adored...

he stopped in the doorway ,shocked to core to see her like this, he was rooted on spot , both watched each other for good 1 minute......

a hush had fallen in environment .....

then a small gesture from old woman broke everything...

2 trembling arms were raised with huge effort and

he just ran to the bed and held those hands in his hands,while sitting on side of bed and carefully hugged her....

she held him tightly ,he could hardly breathe and he was conscious how thin bua had become,she was practically a skeleton..

she broke the embrace and held his arms......and stared at him; her eyes noticing details of hsi face and she looked in his eyes and held his gaze with such raw emotion....

the tears were falling from her eyes ,suddenly a hand softly wiped those tears off and the voice which had always calmed her in past said

....main aa gaya hoon sab theek ho jayega...mujh pe bharosa rakhiye...

haan tum aa gaye ho abhi sakoon se mar sakoongi.....

and both of them sobbed their hearts out ......each fighting their inner demons...

both unaware of girl watching all this with anguish and pain , why was that pain there in her eyes???

it was dark outside now,anmol had been sitting beside rano bua who was sleeping now,he had been sitting there from last 4 hours , she kept holding his hand tightly....

Anmol khan kha lo....varun uncle said

he very slowly removed his hands from that soft grip,lovingly touched sleeping woman;s face and

gently fixing her blanket.

Varun uncle watched this with thoughtful silence....

I would need to use washroom first uncle...

yes yes sure beta......

here let me show you your room.

here is washroom we are downstairs

anmol nodded...

After dinner Anmol sat with uncle and discussed about Rano bua

uncle she wants to go to Missouri

she is asking me to take her

we need to ask about details and paper work involved,can you start now , he inquired from Ana too

Ana start getting things ready now, its her last will she wants to visit the place...........

To Anmol's horror her face went white and she swayed ;he stood up to steady her..

she nodded as if saying no I am fine...and said

finally ...........kya baat ki tum dono ne ..

finally she is agreeing to go back to india....

Batao anmol kaise kiya....please....

in 10 baras mein main taras gayi,Ma papa ke shradh ,tum se milne ki baat kuch bhi nahi mani wo...kuch bhi to nahi...she wailed..

then as if all strength had drained from her body ,she wearily sat down and nodded ..ok theek hai...

anmol kept looking at her for sometime ; then he said..

Ana we will talk later on this first please ask some one first thing in morning; we don't have much time.....

i need to make a call to my home,can i use phone ..

sure study mein jake kar lo....

nahi yahin bahar karta hoon...

ok..

she brought him a cordless phone and left him alone...

hello Ragini kaisee ho ...

aap theke hai na ,bua ji kaisee hai

as ok as she can be..

ghar pe sab theek hai na...

haan sab theek hi hai ,ek nayi museebat ho gayi hai ,Mummy ji pe jija ji ki shaadi ka bhoot sawaar ho gay hai, AAp jaldi se aa jaiye ..I need you

Kya Mrs Rajvansh na museebat ..uff..

Ragini hold on ..

Yes Ana You wanted something...

wo Anmol bua ke doctor has come for visit,you want to discuss the plan with him

haan ya sure ,just give me 2 minutes here ok

acha...

haan Ragini kya keh rahi thee tum..

Ragini was shocked at surge of emotion gripping her ,at hearing that voice.Who was she ,he called her Ana,he had such concern in his voice .She forgot everything for a second.Why was he speaking in such a concerned tone to her .It seemed this unknown girl mattered a lot to him ..who is she

hello Ragini you there?? hello ..

she was startled and stammered haan main hoon .....wo...she mumbled

Ragini i need to go, I think what I am dealing with is very important right now. Talk to you later ok.Give my love to kids bye

he hurriedly cut off

Ragini wa ssurprised ,she started at the receiver for few seconds

then she went and sat on Anmol's study chair .she picked up a random file and saw his handwriting on some report..

she kept staring at the page, as if anmol had written a letter for her...she thought?

kaun thee wo...

kya aawaaz thi kitni kashish thee uski aawaaz mein

kya wo utni hi khoobsoorat bhi hai

kya anmol se..

kya anmol us se..

uff main bhi kya sochne baith gayi..

she went to kitchen with a resolve,but her mind kept drifting to that voice.....Anmol Anmol

Ana had came to Anmol so he could talk to the doctor and caught this name Ragini twice,who was she, he had a ring on his ring fingre, was he already married ,fate couldnt do this to her she thought and shivered at the thought.then she cleared her mind, right nwo she had tons to do..and set to sort things out.

All arangments were done and 3 days they were on a flight to Delhi with her aunt in the tow,Only Anmol could do such a challemnging job ,ana reflected.she was staring out of aircraft window....vast expense of horizon ................she tried to reflect ..on past 3 days..

Anmol had made peace with her Aunt .both had talked for a great deal.aunt refused to rest .

aunty did not let her come in when she spoke with Anmol......

Massourie.. 2 days later.

Bua aap ke liye mushkil hoga..came Anmol's concerned voice

na beta I feel my end is coming lets go today

Anmol carried Bua,she weighed little more than a child now.Ana in tow they went to The cloud end resort ..

they reached a secluded spot and watched distant peeks ..bua sat in her wheel chair ,tears falling from her eyes..her eyes were fixed on velly deep down.....may be trying to look for loved ones gone forever.

Ana chose to stand by edge of the trail..

while Anmol sat under a tree and closed his eyes....

it started to run as film again.....

the magical evening,the cake,laughter, grandma ,his brother Veer; sister Roma;

his father his teary eyedspeech about missing his beloved wife. little did he know that he too would meet her so soon

it was here on that fateful night anmol's 18th birthday was celebrated, everyone had partied and enjoyed ,Anmol was young and carefree he decided to go home on his newly gifted bike with his friend.

His dad did no tlike to drive in dark and they had not bothered the driver earlier as his dad and driver had to go to Dehhradoon in morning so driver needed rest..

Their close friends Mr and Mrs Chadda had come as well

Veer beta can you drive , bring Ana and Roma with you along with grandma

ji papa

I will come with your uncle

he remebered his dad sitting in front seat of his uncle's safari

in back seat Rano bua sat with her husband ,she had a glow on her face and she was finaly expecting a baby in 5 months or so...and ana's mom spoke ..beta i trust you more than Veer ..she sounded concerned.

aunty daro mat kuch nahi hoga let him drive, i will follow you on the bike....

he had not seen Veer drinking vodka earlier......

they all had driven slowly as it was very foggy and road was very trecherous, anmol and his friend followed both the cars on his new gleaming bike....

Veer is not driving properly his Friend mumbled....he had a shot of vodka yaar...

what??

but 1 hi tha...

are you sure...

suddenly from a hair pin turn he could see a truck coming from opposite side of road....why had his heart stopped beating for a second? so many other vehickles had passed them...

suddenly out of nowhere veer's car was in truck's way ,he tried correcting but smashed on side . to his horror he saw his uncle's car rear ending Veer's vehicle pushing it down the deep valley .it was pitch dark...all he could see was scream,metal and ball of fire thousands of feet down.

Everything happened in blink of eye...

truck driver stopped and ran to help..

it started to rain now..

I saw one person falling from the first car sahib ji he said...

he opend hsi eyes with a jolt...air was getting chily ,sun was setting

Ana turned ,Bua nodded

no one spoke on the way home...

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😳
