Till eternity Part 12
One day Ramesh comes back late.
P:Where were you?
Ram:I went to my house to ask those people to leave the house.But its difficult for them to leave the house now.
P:You did'nt want that house to be vacant.But now why are you asking them to leave?
Ram:Because i thought of shifting to my house.
P:What?Are you mad?After snatching my property from me you are trying to dominate over me?Are you not ashamed?
Ram:No.The day after tomorrow we are shifting to a small house.I'm giving this house for rent.
Priya is shocked:No,i won't come.
Ram:Ok,but where will you go when the new people come?
P:You cheat!
Ram:I threw my house and job for you.Since the office is the result of your father's sweat,i'm not throwing that job.Like i promised your dad,i will take care of his business.
Since there is no other option Priya shifts to the new house with Ramesh.But to the shock,it's near to Maya and Jeev's house.
P:Inorder to put me down only you brought me to a small house ..that also near to Maya's house.
Ram:Priya...only the life inside the house determines the size of the house.Anyways..let us visit them.They don't know that we are their new neighbours.
P:No,i'm not coming.That Maya will try to make fun of me.
Ram:Ok,then i will go alone.
When Ramesh goes there,they get surprised to know that he and Priya are their new neighbours.
Maya can't believe that Priya has come to stay in that small house.
M:Why did'nt you bring Priyaji?
Ramesh keeps silent.
M:She may not be interested.Right?
J:Maya..don't talk unnecessarily.
M:I'm not talking unnecessarily.Because of her only Ragini didi left that house.She was so upset about leaving that house.
Maya's words strike Ramesh.
After reaching home Ramesh goes near Priya immediately.
Ram:If i ask you something you should tell me the truth.Ragini bhabhi left our house by herself or you made her leave the house?
Priya is petrified for a moment.
P:That liar Maya must have lied to you.
Ramesh raises his voice:Stop lying and tell me the truth.Don't try to make me a fool again.I can understand things.
P:Ok then hear.Yes,i only complelled her indirectly to leave the house to avoid the rumours about your relationship with her.
Ramesh slaps her.
Ram:You feared whether you will lose me if bhabhi is with us.Ragini bhabhi is like my mother.You tore her heart.God will punish you.
P:I don't care if God punishes me.She was a bit too free with you.I did'nt like it.So i punished her.For that only i spread the false news.
Ram:False news?What is that?
P:No letter about Anmol bhaiyya's death had come.I simply lied.
Ramesh becomes really angry.
Ram:So Anmol bhaiyya is alive?
P:I don't know.Since there is no news about him,i just guessed that he is no more.
Ram:You are very cruel.How did you born for a nice couple?
Priya loses her control and bursts into tears.
Ram:Poor bhabhi.We don't know if Anmol bhaiyya is alive or not.But if he comes back bhabhi will be so happy.
Ramesh keeps avoiding Priya.That hurts her a lot.
Ramesh dresses up.
P:Are you going anywhere?
Ram:Yes,to visit Ragini bhabhi.
P:Can i come with you.I want to see Ragini bhabhi.
Ram:Why?You tortured her enough.Still you are not satisfied?
Priya's eyes are full of tears.
P:Ramesh..please..i understand my mistakes now.
Ram:Don't do any drama again.I don't want such scenes to be enacted here.
Priya cries.
Ram:Ok.Come with me.
She tries to smile with tears in her eyes.
Ramesh and Priya enter Ragini's compound.
Ragini can't believe her eyes.
The eyes of Ramesh and Ragini are wet.
R:Ramesh..Priya..
Ram:Bhabhi..can we come inside?
R:Why are you asking like this?
Ram:We are strangers for you now no.You are not even visiting us.
Ragini does'nt know what to say.
Priya's eyes also become wet.
P:Not because bhabhi considers us as strangers,but she considers us her dear ones...she wants us to be happy.That's why she did'nt visit us.
Ragini finds calmness in Priya.
Ram:But Bhabhi..if you thought i will be happy and peaceful in your absense,you were wrong.
R:Come inside.My parents and Bal have gone out.
They come inside.
Sweta comes.Though Priya recognises her,RAmesh does'nt recognise her.
R:This is Sweta.She is studying for fashion designing.She is very close to us now.
S:Hi..
Ram:Hi..i'm..
S:I can guess.Ramesh and Priya.Right?Ragini didi always tell about you both.
They smile.
Ragini goes to the kitchen to make tea for them.Sweta comes to the kitchen to help her.
S:Didi..i heard that Priya has caused a lot of problems in your life.Then how are you able to be so sweet to her?
R:Priya has never troubled you.What you have heard are just rumours.
Priya overhears it with tears.She thinks:I tore the heart of such a nice lady.Should i tell her that there came o letter about Anmol bhaiyya's death.But if he is not alive,again she will be shattered.It's better not to tell the truth.
Sweta tells the truth about Anmol to everyone else other than Ragini.All are crying because of happiness.
Savitri:i don't know how to be thankful to you and your family.
S:No need of thanks.It's our pleasure.We will surprise Ragini didi by showing Anmol on her birthday.We shall celebrate her birthday in our house.
Maya tells Jeev:Jeev..we should gift a sindoor dabba to Ragini didi on her birthday.
He smiles.
Sweta tells celebrating Ragini's birthday in her house.
R:Celebration?No need.I'm not uncomfortable with that.
S:No excuse.On your birthday we all will go to my house.That's final.
Without Ragini could say anything Sweta goes.
Ragini thinks about her last birthday..
Anmol whispers to her 'Happy birthday' while she is sleeping.
She opens her eyes with a smile.
R:I forgot that today is my birthday.
A:You always think about other's happiness and celebrate other's birthday.So you forgot your birthday.
He gives a maroonish red saree.
A:My birthday gift for you.
R:Wow!I love maroonish red sarees.Thank you Anmolji.I'm lucky to have the best husband with me.
He smiles:You are the best wife too.
They both smile.
She wears the maroonish red saree and stands before Anmol.He is bowled over by her looks.He can't take his eyes off her.

Ragini becomes shy.
A:You look like a Goddess Ragini.
She blushes.
Anmol takes her to a beautiful hotel.Near the pool Anmol's friends welcome them.
They sing the birthday song:Happy birthday Ragini..
She whispers to Anmol:What was the need of throwing a party here?
A:Because i want my wife's birthday to be special.
She smiles.
They give her a bouquet.
R:Thankyou.
Friends:You both are a magical couple.
They smile.

Their friends play the song 'Pee loon tere neelay neelay nainon se shabnam
Pee loon tere geelay geelay hoto ki sargam
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere bin jee nahi lagda, tere bin jee nahi sakda
Tujhpe hai haare maine vaare do jahan, kurbaan, meharbaan, ke main toh kurbaan
Sun le zara, tera kurbaan...'{Once upon a time in Mumbai}.
Anmol Ragini sway their bodies to the soft romantic song.
