Swaragini ff: Kahin Toh
CHAPTER 14
Swara was outside the party venue, waiting for her baba to park the car. Sanskaar came there and looked at swara . she was in a royal blue saree, sanskaar kept looking at her he was lost while swara ignored looking at him
Sanskaar: swara wo
Swara didn't let him complete and went inside the venue while sanskaar went after her. Swara was feeling uneasy today. She had a feeling something big is gonna happen today. She rubbed her hands and kept walking until she was near the hall. The cold breeze was making her feel something.
Laksh got up and moved towards ragini but ansh came in between and stopped laksh . while laksh said: ragini main laksh tumhara laksh
Ansh interrupted: enough mr laksh maheshwari don't cross your line. Mat bhuliye kai ap meri patni say baat kar rahay hain and her name is not ragini she is rachna kapoor.
Ragini's eyes was focused on laksh and how painful his expression got by hearing it . laksh holds ansh's collar and throw him side ways. He held ragini's hand
Laksh: ragini yeh kia keh raha hai.. isko bolo kai tum rachna nahi ho tum meri ragini ho? Meri best friend, mera pyar
All her life ragini wanted to hear this and when he was saying it she could not even reply. How cruel can be fate with them. Her eyes got tears.
Ansh stood up and came back holding laksh's collar while ragini put her hand on his shoulder making a disgusted face. She won't let this low life touch her laksh. While ansh pushed ragini and she faltered a bit. Laksh went mad seeing this and held ansh's collar again : how dare you? Wo biwi hai meri
Ansh pushed laksh too and ordered the guards: guardsss! Bahar nikalo isko..
Guards held laksh while he was out of control trying to go towards ragini. Ragini's mouth was open in shock and as she saw laksh struggling she turned around
Laksh shouted: raginiii... tum kuch bolti ku ni ho..
Her eyes had tears which flowed down from her cheeks and as soon as it touched her cheeks she wiped them.
Laksh: ragini main hoon tumhara laksh .. raginiii
The guards pushed him and laksh fell backwards while sanskaar held him supporting him and swara was standing beside sanskaar. Swara saw tears in laksh's eyes.
Laksh stood up and cried looking at sanskaar: bhai
And signaled them towards ragini. Swara moved a bit forwar and saw a girls back. Here ragini felt as if swara was near. Both swara and ragini together brought there hands up and put them on their necks feeling uneasy. Swara moved closer towards the girl. Sanskaar with laksh moved forward aswell. All the maheshwari's and gadodia's entered the venue to.. they saw swara going towards someone. Sharmishta was keenly noticing the girl, her heart was beating. Swara was just standing inches away from the girl. And ragini was getting dizzy with the feeling. Both of them were breathing heavily. Swara brought her hand up to pat the girls shoulder but before that ragini turned around seeing swara getting shocked. As swara faced ragini she put her hand on her mouth in shock. Immediately her eyes welled up with flood of tears. Ragini looked up from swara . bothe her families were standing in front of her. She would faint any moment. Every single person was shocked to the core. Sanskaar moved back not believing. Every word of swara came to his mind. Sharmishta smiled looking at ragini. Shekhar was astounded. Durga parsad looked at Annapurna as he called out her name : ragini
Both of them looked at laksh whose eyes were focused on ragini only.
Ansh thought: asli maza toh ab aye ga.
Swara's hands were trembling, she with her trembling hands touched her face, ragini's face was getting heat up. As swara touched her face she smiled as tears of happiness shed from her eyes. She looked at ragini's hand and remembered how they stood hand in hand before their parents to prevent them from durga parsad. That day they became swaragini. Swara held ragini's hand feeling the warmth. Ragini looked at ansh who was standing with an evil smirk. Swara hugged ragini suddenly as both their world rotated.
Swara was sobbing now and her sob could be heard by all: meri behen zinda hai meri ragini zinda hai.. meri behen meray sath hai
Swara said still hugging ragini, she touched the back of her hairs. ragini felt useless, both laksh and swara recognized her and all what she has to do is break there hearts. Ragini imagined the circumstances they lived in these past three months. Swara broke the hug and touched her cheeks smiling looking at her face. Sharmishta looked at shekhar and then saw swaragini together and smiled at both her daughters. Sharmishta went towards them and ragini in nervousness moved a little back. While sharmishta cupped her face and kissed her forehead
Sharmishta: ragu beta? Kahan thi? Aek baar bhi ni socha apni maa kai baray mai?
Ragini looked at her. Her heart was dying every second. She was helpless
Sharmishta: itni naraz thi apni maa sai kai humsay dur chali gai? Itna bura maan lia kai teray papa nai tujhay thapar mara tha? Beta mujhay bata kai toh dekhti tujhay jo karna hota mai teri manti. Tujhay laksh kai sath ni jana tha mat jati..
Laksh looked at sharmishta and then to ragini
Sharmishta: ab tu agai hai na ab kabhi bhi apni maa ko chor kai mat jana .. na swara ko. Kisi ko bhi ab mai tujjhay khud sai dur ni honay doon gi beta
She hugged ragini again .
Ansh thought: time to enter
He moved towards them, held swara's arm and pushed her towards sanskaar while swara fell on sanskaar and he held her.
Sanskaar was angry: mr kapoor apni limits mai rahiye.
He went towards him and was about to punch him when ragini came in between and sanskaar stopped immediately , ansh put his hand on ragini's shoulder and made her stand out of his way.. he went closer to sanskaar
Ansh: limits mai ap sab log rahiye . yeh kia ragini ragini lagaya howa hai? She is not ragini but my wife rachna kapoor.
This shocked everyone. Swara looked at ragini straightaway . sharmishta couldn't believe her ears.
Ansh: kitni baar btao .yeh baa tab likh kai doon toh samjh aye ga .. yeh ragini nahi hai .
Swara :kaun rachna? Kiski wife? Yeh meri behen hai ragini laksh maheshwari . laksh ki patni hai yeh ..
Swara came towards them.
Swara : ragini bolo na .. tum btao isay, sabko kai tum koi rachna ni ho balkay humari ragini meri ragini
Swara held ragini hand, ragini freed them which astonished swara.
Ragini looked down and shook her head
Swara : yeh jhoot bol rai hai
Swara said confidently straightaway looking at ragini's face, she was not nave not to recognize her sister
Ansh shouted : enough now
Durga parsad came down: mr kapoor! Apni awaz ko thora neecha rakhiye
Ansh faced durga parsad he was waiting for this moment: awaz unkay samnay neechay ki jati hai jinki koi hasiyat ho koi aukat ho
Sanskaar became mad after hearing this and held his collar: ansh kapoor apni hadh mai raho. Agar maine apni sharafat chordi na toh phir yahan kia hoga wo mujhay bhi nahi pata
Durga parsad: sanskaar usay choro
Sanskaar left his collar and backed off
Swara : ragini tum kuch bolti ku ni ho kuch bolo
Laksh came towards ragini: ragini idhar dekho.. tumhay meray sath nahi rehna mat raho par ab aur nahi ragini. Please boldo kai tum ragini ho please ragini
Swara : yeh kuch bol ku nahi rai ?
Swara said crying
Ansh held ragini's hand: ku kai meri rachna bachpan sai bol nahi sakti .
Sharmishta covered her mouth.
Laksh shook his head, this was a nightmare. This can't be true, ragini's voice echoed in his head the way she called his name "laksh" . swara remembered all the music competitions in which they both participated and ragini used to sing beautifully.
Ansh: yahi sabsay bara proof hai that she is rachna . am I clear?
Swara: bol nahi sakti ya kisi kai darr ki waja sai bol nai rai? Kia sabot hai apkay paas kai yeh ragini nahi hai?
Ansh ordered his servant to bring something and handed the papers to him
Ansh: yeh meray aur rachna kai wedding papers hain.. pichlay saal we got married .
He gave the papers to sanskaar who looked at it, it had ragini's picture with rachna's name on it . even ragini was shocked by it. Laksh couldn't believe his heart was not ready to believe.
Ansh: a bap log khud jaein gai ya meray guards ap logo ko nikal kai phenk daein.
Shekhar looked at ragini for the one last time and held sharmishta's hand taking her out while she kept saying that this was their daughter.
Sanskaar took swara with him while swara kept looking back at ragini. She knew that she was ragini her sister.. and she will come back to take her soon.
Adarsh asked laksh to move but he was not ready to move. He was glued to his place and his eyes were glued on ragini, as ansh put his arm around his ragini, laksh made a fist of his hand. Adarsh held laksh's hand and pulled him, laksh's eyes had that finality. Ragini was looking straight at laksh too.. it pained her to see him that way. Laksh made a face which showed "acha ni kia ragini but mai wapis aoo ga"
Ragini closed her eyes
Adarsh started to take laksh out while laksh eyes were focused on her only
"raste hain wohi
Hain wohi pay manzalein"
Ragini ignored looking at him and looked here and there.
"lekin hai aj bhi
Wo rokay sai faslay"
Laksh remembered the time when he went on his knees to propose her and she shouted out loud "hum apsay pyar kartay hain laksh" and today she was quite.
"pyar jot ha zindagi
Kho gaya janay kahan"
Ragini thought: I am sorry laksh humay maaf kardeejay par apki zindagi sai zada important humara sath nahi hai
Laksh thoughts: par tumhara sath hi toh meri zindagi hai ragini, aj tumhay dekh kai aisa lag raha hai kai meri jaan wapis agai hai
"reh gaye hain darmiyan
Dil kai kuch shikway gilay"
As laksh went from there ragini pushed ansh and ran towards her room, she cried loudly while she ran. Everything has been shattered .. she wanted to die now. She can't hurt swara, her maa and her laksh now. No one deserves this. Why her.. she want to live with her family. A normal life.
Ragini hid beind the window door and saw her families going, sharmishta wiped her tears looking back while shekhar took her to the car. She saw laksh as he sat in his car
"dil ko hai shak magar
Shaid hum phir milein"
He went and ragini broke down.
Sanskaar brought swara out and ragini saw them, swara freed her arm from his grip
Swara: wo shakhs jhoot bol raha hai, wo ragini hai mai janti hoon
Sanskaar: swara dekho he had the certificate jispay saaf likha hai kai wo rachna hai , zarori nahi kai aek shakal honay ka matlab ho kai wo humari ragini hai. Humari ragini iss dunia mai nahi rai. Shekhar baba aur laksh kai samnay
Swara: tumhari problem kia hai? Kal tak tum meri kahi hui baat pai believe nahi kar rahay thay aur aj dekh kai bhi tumhay yeh yakeen nahi ho raha ? bas hogya sanskaar mai ja rai hoon
Sanskaar: swara please meri baat toh suno apnay ghar chalo?
Swara : mujhay kuch nahi suna hai! Kaunsay ghar? Jahan meri behen kai baray mai yeh sab bola jata hai? Jab tu yeh nahi samjh saktay kai wo kia importance rakhti hai meri zindagi mai toh pyar kai daway kaisay kartay ho? Tum larkai yeh ku ni samjhatay kai aek nayee rishtay ki waja sai hum larkian puranay rishto ko nib hula sakti na hi unki ahmiat kum hoti hai. Meri family , meri behen kal bhi meray liye important thay aur aj bhi hain aur hamesha rahein gai, meri khushian hain unkay sath. Agar kuch badala hai na toh wo ho tum.
Sanskaar: swara yeh tum baat ko kahan sai kahan lai kay ja rai ho? Tum galat ho
Swara : galat sirf yeh rishta hai sirf yeh,. Aur jab tak ragini uss ghar mai wapis nahi ati tab tak mai bhi ni aoo gi. Agar tumahay problem hai toh jo karna chaho karo.
Swara went from there while sanskaar was exteremly hurt. Here ragini who witnessed it all was shocked..and thought : yeh swara apnay rishtay kai sath kia kar rahi hai? Wo sanskaar sai kitna pyar karti hai aur humaray liye yeh sab kar rai hai.. yeh theek ni hai .
Baadi
Durga parsad: wo ragini ni hain..
Swara : wo ragini hi hai bade papa. Ap yakeen ki jay mai janti hoon mera dil janta hai wo meri behen hai
Sharmishta: shona bilkul theek keh rai hai wo humari ragu hai
Dida smiled, Annapurna came towards sharmishta
Annapurna: sharmishta ji mai apko samjh sakti hoon par hum jitna jaldi iss baat ko accept karlaein utna acha hoga. Sabkay liye
She looked at laksh who was standing at the window as the wind touched his face he was getting more sure
Laksh: wo meri ragini hai
He announced
Everyone looked at him, swara smiled
Laksh: mai uskay ehsas ko pehchanta hoon. Mai janta hoon wo ragini hai
With that he went from there
Swara looking at sanskaar: jisko manna hai manay jisko nahi mana hai na manay
She also went from there.
Ragini was laying on bed and crying thinking of the incidents that had taken place today. The way laksh hugged her, then swara and then sharmishta, how everyone was seeing her, her baba was quite what affect has it been on him. she was devastated and closed her eyes as her eyes too hurt now from all the crying. Suddenly she heard
Laksh: mrs ragini laksh maheshwari samnay aoo
Ragini got up from the bed , she couldn't believe it, it was raining heavily she moved towards the balcony as ansh joined her too
Ansh: apnay apko control mai rakhna. You know I don't like bloodshed at all.
Ragini looked at him when another noise break her trance and she ran towards the balcony and ash followed her. Ragini went in rain on the balcony, good now her tears will go un-noticed. She saw laksh struggling from guards
Laksh: raginiii
Laksh saw her and smiled as he pushed the guard and warned: bas aek minute ..
He looked up
Laksh: here you are mrs maheshwari, apko pata hai apnay mujhay in teen mahino mai kitna tarpaya hai
Ragini cried
Laksh: par tumhay toh ana hi tha ragini.. I know tum meri ragini ho.. and no one can deny it
Ragini and ansh changed looks.
Laksh: tumhay kia laga koi bhi aira gaira mujhy kahay ga kai tum ragini nahi ho and I will believe? Kia mai tumhay itna hi janta hoon? Ya shaid tum mujhy ni jaan pai
Laksh said looking at ansh
Ansh held ragini hand tightly hurting her
Laksh: aur don't worry mai wapis aoon ga and I promise mai tumhay lai kay jaon gai because
He paused
Ragini held her breath
Laksh smiled looking down and then straight away looking at her , he sat on his knees the same way he did on that day, ragini couldn't believe
Laksh: because I love you ragini
He shouted
Laksh: mai bhi tumsay bohat pyar karta hoon bohat zada ... I love you
He stood up and started to move back still looking at her
Laksh: ill come soon..
He went and ragini moved to go when swara called her
Swara : raginiii
Ragini looked at ansh and pleaded him to let her go just once. He left her hand and said
Ansh: jao, but just remember tumharay kuch bhi reaction kafi kuch galt karsakta hai. Dada ji ko kuch hojaye toh? Even better agar laksh ki car mai bomb plant kara doon toh? Ya isi wakt tumhari behen swara ko marwa doon toh? Kisi ko pata bhi ni chalay ga.
Ragini dreaded this and went out in the rain facing swara. Swara smiled and came towards ragini
Swara : daro mat, bas sirf yeh dekhnay aye thy yakeen karnay aye thi kai tum ho?
Ragini apni behen ko itna paraya kardia kai tumhari zindagi mai jo ho raha hai tum mujhsy chupa rai ho? Bata kai toh dekho I promise tumhari sari mushkilein dur kardon gi. Ragini tum ni janti tumharay janay kai baad kia kiya howa hai.. maa unho nai toh jaisay apni zindagi rok dii ho.. baba apnay apko blame kartay hain, dadi maa toh chup hain. Aur laksh
Swara held ragini's hand
Swara: laksh nai pichlay teen mahinay mai aek lafz ni bola, wo har din tumharay dupattay kai sath betha rehta hai tumharay mangalsutra ko dekhta rehta hai. Usnay apni zindagi khatam karli thi jaisay par aj wo dobara bol para hai. Wo tumsay bohat pyar karta hai. Ragini please tum kuch bolo dekhna hum milkay sab mushkilein hal karein gai akhir hum behenein hain hum swaragini hain
Ragini with drawed her hand and swara was serious now
Swara: yeh bearish bhi tumharay ansoo chupa nahi sakti. Theek hai mat bolo kuch but jald hi mai yeh pata kara loon gi kai tum yeh sab kuc kar rai ho
She turned to go but then look back and held her hand : please ragini
But when she didn'r reacted so swara went
Ansh on phone: jahan dard hota hai wahan chot phoncha chukay hain par ab shuruh hota hai mout ka khel. Haan kal ki meeting kai baad you have to plant a bomb in sanskaar maheshwari's car
As ansh announced , ragini gasped hearing his conversation
Precap: sanskaar's life at stake
