Swaragini ff: Kahin Toh
CHAPTER 19
NEXT MORNING
Ragini very slowly opened her eyes as the sun rays hit her face just to see laksh who was looking at her while his head was supported by his elbow. Ragini smiled a little.
Ragini: laksh? Ap yun humay dekh rahay hain, kia soch rahay hain ap?
Her voice was like a melody to his ears, laksh placed his palm on her cheek
Laksh: dekh raha tha kai tum koi sapna nahi ho sach ho, hakikat ho
Ragini closed her eyes feeling shy: sapnay hakikat sai zada khoobsurat hotay hain
Laksh gently planted a kiss on her forehead and placed his head next to her closing his eyes too
"kabhi kabhi aisa hota hai
Jagay jagay koi sota hai
Bin chahy dil khota hai
Kahin aisa na hojaye"
Laksh held her hand: pichlay teen mahino ka har din tumhari soch kai sath, tumhaary ehsas mai hi guzra hai . magar agar aj ki hakikat tum ho ragini toh mujhay nahi lagta koi bhi sapna meri iss hakikat sai khubsurat hoga
"kab armaan machlein gai
Kisko hai yeh pata
Kab mausam badlein gai
Kisko hai yeh pata"
Ragini turned around and hugged laksh and he hugged her back feeling her close to him. he then left her and got out of bed while ragini got up in a sitting position. Laksh forward his hand towards her and ragini looked at him
Laksh: chalo aoo.. ready hojao then breakfast and then medicine
He smiled and ragini was touched by his care she took his hand
"pyar ho jata hai kaisay
Janay na dil tera"
she went to washroom to freshen up while laksh sighed in relief finally ragini was with him safe and secure and he was deeply, irrevocably in love with her. He smiled looking at the mirror, the last few months without her was like hell and today he was feeling so alive like he has got his strength back, his reason to live. Ragini came out wearing a purple saree her hairs were wet. Laksh looked at her and he was lost in her. Was the feeling which he was going through real? Ragini smiled back and then looked down. Laksh looked down too both of them were feeling shy and then both looked at each other together and smiled
"nazar say nazar milay
Toh dekhay gi ankhein sapna"
Ragini moved to the side as laksh stood beside her giving her a shy look and then entering the washroom
"jo yun koi sath chalay
Toh lagnay lagay ga apna"
IN KITCHEN
Swara and sanskaar were both wearing apron
Swara : sanskaar please tum jao yahan sai tum mera kaam aur barhao gai
Sanskaar smirked: nahi swara mai yahan sai kahi nahi janay wala mai toh tumhari help karon ga
Swara made a face and was about to go when sanskaar held her hand and pulled her towards him, swara dashed into his chest and sanskaar put his both arms around her waist
Swara was stunned and looked here and there trying to push him: sanskaar ki kar rahay ho? Yeh kitchen hai yahan yeh sab nahi chalta .. aur agar dadi nai dekh lia na toh phir said ant khao gai
Sanskaar smiled lookin at her face
Sanskaar: mai kia karon meri wife itni beautiful hai kai I can't control (and whispered) kahin bhi kabhi bhi ;)
Swara was about to say something but then she blushed and looked back at him
"baat jo barhay gi baat baat main
Khwab hi khwab hongay har raat mai"
Swara: acha ji?
She put her arm around his neck and sanskaar got startled seeing swara responding and that too in a kitchen
Sanskaar: hmmm
Swara came closer to his face: kahin bhi kuch bhi?
She asked while sanskaar smiled naughtily
"hoga jab pyar tujhay
Hoga na karar tujay
Tu yeh soch lai"
Sanskaar was ready to kiss her when swara suddenly threw flour on his face and ran around the stove counter and sanskaar was shocked
Sanskaar: swara you are gone
And he ran after her as swara laughed loudly, sanskaar tried to catch her but she was out of his reach so he threw the flour from around the counter. Swara stopped and laughed and sanskaar came to her and hugged her from behind
"aye ga paas kai jo dur hai
Maan ja kai hona yeh zaror hai"
Sanskaar: yahi charm miss karta tha mai meri swara ka charm. I love you mrs maheshwari
Swara closed her eyes as tears welled up in her eyes: I love you 2 sanskaar
"kai dil toh deewana hai
Kab yeh mana hai
Tu yeh soch lai"
AT dining table
Shekhar sat with his mom and dad, swara and sankaar sat on the opposite side and sharmishta came out of kitchen placing the plate on tables then she placed ragini's plate and remembered the previous days . swara looked at her
Swara: maa aj apki ragu apkay sath beth kai hi khana khaye gi
Sharmishta smiled: yeh ragu aur laksh kahan hain?
Sanskaar: maa ap bethiye shaid unko aj anay maid air hosakti hai
Dada ji coughed and swara looked at sanskaar going and sitting beside him whispering
Swara: besharmi ki bhi hadh hoti hai sanskaar
Sanskaar hided his laugh: abhi meri besharmi dekhi hi kahan hai
STAIRS
Ragini stood on the top of the stairs, she was still weak to walk that much, laksh came from behind and stood beside her trying to hook his watch. Ragini smiled and helped him . ragini was looking at his wrist and laksh was looking at ragini smiling , her hairs were touching his face. Ragini looked at laksh as he was lost looking at her . ragini looked the other way
Ragini: ehum ehum
Laksh came back to his senses and started to fix his hairs while ragini tried not to laugh
Ragini: chalein
As she was about to go, laksh stopped her by holding her hand
Ragini: kia howa laksh
Instead of replying laksh bend a little and swooped ragini in his arms
"teray liye hi jiya mai
Khud ko joy u dai diya hai"
Ragini was stunned as laksh started to go down through the stairs. Both of them were looking at each other as laksh descended the stairs
"teri wafa nai mujhko sambhala
Saray ghumo ko dil sai nikala"
As they came down, ragini was still in his arms
Ragini: laksh humay neechay utariye please
Laksh put her down and cupped her face
Laksh: meray hotay vay ab tumhay kisi problem ko face nahi karna paray ga ragini
"teray sath mera hai naseeb jura
Tujhay pakay adhora na raha"
Laksh: ku kai main hoon ab
Ragini hugged him: humay yakeen nahi ata kai jis khwab ko humnay dekha tha wo aj ap sach kar rahay hain.. humay darr lagta hai laksh kahin yeh khubsurat zindagi humsay kisi nai cheen li toh? Hum toh larr bhi ni saktay
Laksh kissed her head: tumhara laksh hai na tumharay sath, tumhay larnay ki zarorat ni paray gi. Aur madam apki behna bhi toh hain . meray baray bhai ki patni swara sanskaar maheshwari. Unki jaan basti hai tumay so chill. Laksh nai apna luck tumhay da dia hai
Both of them smiled
Finally they were together
"ku ki tum hi ho"
A month later
AT MAHESHWARI MANSION
Swasan and raglak were back to maheshwari mansion and everything seemed so good and alright. Both sisters lighted the house much to the pleasure of everyone but sujata was very unhappy with swara and never accepted her from heart but she was quite because of her son sanskaar. She just needed a way to get rid of swara which seemed impossible. Durga parsad maheshwari the man of words started to take ragini as his own daughter when he saw that laksh's life revolved around ragini. Annapurna treated both swaragini equally as her daughters. And knew that they were the reason of the happiness. She has never seen her family so happy .
Laksh was ready to go to office when he saw ragini placing the flowers in the vase. She played with them and laksh smile looking at her cuteness. She was the essence of his life. sanskaar came from back home from office and tapped laksh's shoulder and laksh looked at him
Sanskaar smirking : lucky wo teri hi biwi hai. Filhal ja bade papa has called you
Laksh looked back at ragini as he went
Sanskaar came down to ragini: ragini
Ragini stood up and smiled
Sanskaar: swara kidhar hai
Ragini teased him : ku sanskaar aisa kia kaam hai?
Sanskaar: not you ragini
Ragini hided her smile: acha acha jayee swara apnay kamray mai hai
Sanskaar smiled and went to his room as he opened the door he saw swara trying to wear a saree
Sanskaar burst out laughing
Swara turned around : sanskaar ismay hasnay ki kia baat hai?
Sanskaar threw the file on the bed coming close to her
Sanskaar: agar saree nahi pehni jati toh ku pehnti ho? You look beautiful in what you wear
Swara wore her pallu and placed it properly: that is because I want to impress your mother
Sanskaar looked at her lovingly and kissed her head
Sanskaar: yeh efforts mat karo jaan
Swara: sanskaar mai chahti hoon kai wo bhi humsay khush hoon. Hum dono khush hain par wo maa hain
Sanskaar: kash maa dekh pati kai tum kia ho.
Swara arched her eyebrow: kia hoo mai?
She was curious. Sanskaar grabbed her waist putting his hand on it: tum mer jaan ho, meri dhakan ho. You are a magician
Swara: aur
Sanskaar: aur I love you like anything
Swara: kavita sai bi zada
Sanskaar suddenly left her and was still by her question .
Swara: I am sorry sanskaar wo galti sai mu sai nikal gaya.. please sanskaar
He turned around
Sanskaar: haan kavita sai bhi zada
She was stunned
Sanskaar: kavita kai pyar nai mujhsy galat karwaya .. aur tumaharay pyar nai toh aek tareekay sai dobara jeena seekhaya aur bhi khud keliye nahi dosron keliye.. kavita aur tumhara koi muqabla nahi swara..wo aj jahan kahin bhi hogi bohat khush hogi yeh dekh kai that I have got my life
He hugged her and she hugged him back passionately
Swara: itna pyar kartay ho mujsy?
Sanskaar: bohat karta hoon. Don't ever leave me..
RAGLAK ROOM
Ragini was setting her dressing table when her phone ringed she went to side table and looked at the mobile screen which was flashing
"laksh calling"
Ragini smiled whole-heartedly and receive the call
Ragini: ji laksh?
Laksh: itna time ku laga? Are you okay? Tabiat theek hai na
Ragini: ji laksh bilkul theek hai
Laksh: paka? Medicine lit hi na?
Ragini smiled: laksh subah apnay hi toh khilai thi.

Ragini was shy: ji I miss you and I love you
Laksh: hayeee
Ragini cut the call and turned around to see laksh standing at the door
Ragini: laksh ap?
Ragini moved ahead and laksh came to her picking her up and revolving
Ragini: laksh ap yeh kia kar rahay hain.. humay neechay utariyeee laksh please
Ragini was smiling and laksh was immensely happy and revolving with ragini in his arm
He put her down : kaisa laga surprise?
Ragini: laksh apko kia hogya hai?
Laksh: tumsay pyar...
He acted to fall on her while she supported him
Laksh: chichi swara ko jadugarni kehti hain. I guess unhay tumhay kehna chai.. tumhaary ilawa kuch nazar ni ata.. hasi bhi tum, nami bhi tum, asmaan bhi tum aur zameen bhi tum
Ragini turned around to go : laksh ap pagal hogye hain
Laksh came before her: tumharay pyar mai..
Ragini: acha ap itni jaldi wapis ku agaye?
Laksh: aek file reh gait hi and by the way kia aek pati apni patni sai milnay ni asakta?
Ragini smiled while she grabbed the file and gave it to him and pushed him towards the door
Ragini: chaliyee ab nikliyee jayee bas hogya
Laksh stopped and kissed her cheek while running. Ragini touched her cheek and smiled..
If beautiful life meant this , a sister who can give her life, a family who looks after her happiness and a husband who was her life. then she was scared if she lost any of them . few tears skipped through her eyes...
NEXT WEEK

Ragini: acha baba yeh lo
She returned her phone . suddenly ragini's phone started to ring and both of them looked at her phone swara ran and grabbed it as it was still ringing
Swara : ab laksh ki caal hai na ni uthanay doon gi..

She demanded looking at both laksh and sanskaar
Laksh an sanskaar looked at each other . they were losing their senses thinking if anything happened to ragini or swara
Dadi: shekhar manay pehlay hi kaha tha kai apni dono bachiyon ko na bhej yahan par tanay mana nahi ab dekh mari potiyon ko kuch hogya na toh dekh laina...
Annapurna : ap aisay mat kahiye wo humari bhi kuch lagti hain..
