Part-8
The first thing that happened in the morning was the return of the family members. Durga Prasad and Annapurna were very much worried. Durga Prasad made arrangements to repair the room. Sujatha was happy that swara faced a mishap like that. She hated swara more than anything.
They heard car honks. Laksh was on his feet. But maintained his posture. He was yearning to see swara. She came with dida, somi and sanskaar. Annapurna and Durgaprasad welcomed them. they were relieved to see her alright.
Dp: "we are really sorry, that swara had to undergo this sharmista ji. I am really unsure of how this happened in the first place."
Somi: "no need to ask for sorry durga Prasad ji, anyways she is alright now. That is more than enough for me. and now that I have left her here, we shall leave."
Ap: "sharmista ji, if u don't mind, u can take swara with you. She has gone through this incident. She might want to spend some time with you both. She can stay there and take rest for some days. After marriage, she hasn't gone there."
Somi: "thank u Annapurna ji, we ll take swara with us."
Laksh was worried that he might not be able to see swara for some days. He wanted to know how she was doing from her mouth. He wanted to ask her a lot of questions, but the situation was otherwise. She would leave any moment now. He was frustrated. His eyes wandered over to her hand wearing the ring.
Swara was feeling good that she would spend some time at badi but worried at the same time that she wouldn't be able to keep an eye on ragini. She was trying to avoid herself from looking over for laksh. She hurried her home from side to go home.
Ragini was irritated that swara was getting attention. At that same time, she was looking for any opportunity to go see her dadi.
Sanskaar was also feeling disheartened at the fact that swara would not be here at MM. he went over to swara.
Swara side cornered him. Sanskaar was kind of feeling glad that she was going to say something to him in private.
S: "sanskaar, I won't be back for 2 days. So don't forget to keep an eye on ragini okay. She might come up with any plan that I am not around so always keep an eye on her." sanskaar rolled his eyes.
Sa: "really? So this is what u wanted to tell me?! "
S: "yes, do I have to tell something else?" with a blank look.
Sanskaar didn't know what to answer as he too was unsure abt what he was expecting from her.
Sa: "leave it, take care of urself okay. Don't do anything clumsy and end up in trouble again." with a stern look.
Swara started to laugh at this.
S: "oh my, u sound more like a granny when u say it. Bye"
Sa: "bye."
Sanskaar was glad that he was able to make her laugh.
When she turned this way, she saw laksh standing and her laugh ceased.
When she saw him, she was reminded of night's proximity.
She was looking at him and he was also looking at her. She turned her glance away, to avoid awkwardness.
She then left with her mother and dida. Laksh and sanskaar were both watching her leave.
Laksh was still thinking of a way to speak to her. He then stuck upon an idea after she left. He felt that his idea was not a right one but still he wanted to do it.
He went to his mother and said "ma, ragini also hasn't gone to her mother's house ever since the marriage. She too would be missing her dadi."
Ap: "sorry laksh, I didn't think of it that way. Poor girl, she would have felt bad."
She called over ragini.
Ap: "ragini, u also go to ur dadi's home and rest for 2 days. It would be good for u. sorry dear, I didn't think before. Laksh only reminded me that."
Ragini was overjoyed when she heard that. So she found a way to meet dadi. And the fact that laksh had suggested that made her feel great. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled lightly at her and looked away.
She came down with her bag after 30 mins. Laksh offered to drop her on his way to office. She was happy with his gesture.
He felt sorry for her as he was faking his intentions with her. His only intention was to meet swara.
