And the song for this update is piya bawre by rahat fateh Ali khan ..do hear to get the right emotions of the update
Ragini stood at the entrance dressed in white kurti and jeans .a black and white color scarf draped around her neck.her hair left open.she had a different aura around her. A confident and strong aura.swara hugged her tight like her life dependents on her.
Ragini hugged her back . tears threatening to fall any moment.
Swara feets gave away. Taking ragini with her. They both kneeled down still in embrace
"Ragoo"
Ragini looked up to see their mother and dida standing there with tears. She nodded no
Dada and dadi came rushing hearing all commotion outside.
They were elated to see their ladoo too.
Ragini tried to calm swara down but that wouldn't work. All everyone could hear were swaras muffled voice.
"Shh shh swara .. Tum shan't nahi hogi toh humey samjh kaise ayega tum Kay keh rahi ho" said ragini her voice on verge of breaking.
Ragini once again dared to look up only to find her family staring back in disbelief .what caught her sole attention was a figure standing leaned against the pillar he looked defeated,lost and helpless.
Melmilap nazar ka dhoka her insaan hai mera akela
Sanskars eyes never broke away from swara and ragini.his eyes finally Mets ragini's and closed them looking away.
Ragini did see gratitude. Huh irony he was thankful for me being back of all the people. Her mind went back to his pleading messages everyday when she avoided his calls. Her soul was restless since the day she heard of her sister's accident. She wasn't able to concentrate on anything. Hell she herself got into minor accidents twice. She ran from places to keep her mind busy and not let herself fall weak. When she couldn't find any peace she Finally decided to let her demons free. And she landed herself at place where everything started her home.
Ragini was brought out of thoughts when shomi and dida helped both sisters up.
Shomi couldn't take eyes of ragini.
"Aey shonu Aisha chotu baccha banta hai..dekh na Teri ragini agayi.ab yeah kahan nahi jayegi.baandh ke rakh na use apne saath"
Swara murmured something like
"Isey ab kahan nahi Jane dongi"
"Haan Shona ..apni ragini ko is dafa main kahin Jane nahi dongi"
Shomi took both their hands and held them tight
"Ab humey andar chalna chahiye raat kafi hogayi aur..ra..ragini bhi thank gayi hogi"
Everyone walked towards gadodias house ragini and shomi looked back at sanskar who longingly looked towards parting figure of swara
Kyun ajnabi hain rahein, kyun chup hai aasmaan
Tooti hain kuch lakiren aur hum hain darmian aaa
Ragini got swara settled in her bed.whole family was surrounding them. They were spellbound seeing how easy ragini was around swara like nothing ever happened. Shomi looked at shekar and took his hand into hers.
.*********
Ragini was sleepless.she walked towards the terrace to get fresh air.she has been relieved when none asked her anything . she closed her eyes taking in the fresh air
"Thank you"
"Humey thank u kehne ki zarurat nahi..hum khud yahan aana chah rahe thay..par shayad WO himmat hi nahi juta paa rahe thay sabse aankh milane k liye..thank u sansakr"
She turned around to see him looking at her.
"Tum mujhe aise kyu dekh rahe ho?"
"Mujhe aaj tum me WO ladki nazar arahi hai Jo kisi se nahi darti Jo khud k liye jeeti hai aur sacchayi uski pehchan hai"
"In sabke liye zyada mehnat nahi karna padi sanskar ..I just had to find myself..and tadaa here I'm..ragini gadodia"
"Its soo good to see you back..aise lag raha hai humey humari dost wapis milgayi"
"Ahaan..not again sanskar..this time I want to find real frndship..not on basis of pity or charity "
"There is no pity or charity ragini.."
"There is no real friendship either sanskar"
"Okay I guess I should leave it to you..but remember Maine tumhe dil se dost mana hai"
Just then they heard cooing sound coming from behind.they turned to see shomi holding little angel in her hands trying to pacify her
"Sanskar ye maan hi nahi rahi hai"
Ragini's eyes turned to the little figure and she couldn't take her eyes off angel.sanskar took angel n tried to pacify her..
"Can I ?"
Asked ragini.
Sanskar nodded and handed her angel
Her eyes glistening at the little baby.
"Mumma ka baby bilkul mumma jaisa hai..bilkul humari pari jaisi"
"Hey...meri angel mere jaisi hai..hai na Maa?"stated sanskar
Shomi nodded in agreement. They three had tears in there eyes. But after a long tym it was tears of happiness
" kya hum aaj isey apne saath rakh sakte hai ?"
"Par raggu..Shona"
Ragini nodded in understanding.
"I guess till my princess wakes up.I will have my angel all for myself" he took angel who was smiling at nothing in particular
"Sanskar isey andar le jayo thand badd gayi hai "
Sanskar animatedly started talking to angel who in return giggled
"She will come back around..soon" said ragini
Piya baware
Kaisi hai agan - (Piya baware)
Paniyon se bhi - (Piya baware)
Hoti hai jalan
Sanskar stopped in his tracks and smiled "usi umeed par pe toh hum jee rahey hai..hai na angel"he walked away towards his room..his swaras room
" Maa"
"Ragu tu ab bhi naraz hai apni Maa se?"
"Nahi Maa hum aapse naraz nahi..srf aap WO insaan hai jisne humpar bharosa kiya..hum aapse baat isiliye nhi karte thay taki hum kamzor na hojaye"
"Sab bharosa karte hai ragini.."
"Maa farak padta hai... Bahut late ho chuki ..we should sleep..and I have few emails to send.gud night"
Ragini walked away
*****
"Tum soyi nahi ab tak?"
"Tum bhi toh nahi soyi..ragini..come sit"
Ragini sat across swara on bed
"Do you know dadi and dida are best friends in town..Maa baba are love birds like always..badi shines and maheshwaris are our good friends now" swara chuckled at her own words
"Swara? Tum ye humey kyu bata rahi ho?"
"Kyunki ragini tum 3 months se gayab thi..you didn't even bother to check me ..when I was lifeless.and you thought u are going to get a easy way out?no ragini I've waited for u everyday..I was waiting to talk to you..for you to be around our family when they were silently weeping for my immobility and praying for my life.how could you ragini ..how could you leave our family to fight their own battle.how could you thought you could fight those demons alone..Maine sanskar se baar baar request taki tumse baat karwa de..but WO bhi dheet tumhari promise se Jo bandha tha...look ragini where we are now." She had tears rolling down her faces..so engrossed in her pain she didn't notice ..she actually talked about sanskar..her wait for ragini.
Ragini hugged her tight
"I didn't knew swara..I didn't knew ..humare ek faisla humey is raah pe le aayega.I promise you I will never do DAT again..all those mistakes I've done in past.m never going to leave you alone"
Ragini realised and was happy that swara remembered sanskar .she had to share this big news with sanskar.
**********
Next morning
Sanskar was feeding angel when ragini came running towards him.panting heavily
"Sanskar"
"Ragini ..?what's wrong ? Swara ? Swara thik hai na ?any panic attack ?"
Ragini nodded no still trying to calm her panting
"I..have..a ..news.."
"Tell me already ragini" sanskar was restless
"U have to give me angel for the day"
"What ko kind of deal is that?"
"Still don't trust me ?"
"Nonsense !of course I trust u...but..she "
"Swara remembers u"
"I don't think angel..wHAT?"
She nodded yes
And told him her last night conversation with swara
Sanskar couldn't believe his ears
"Are you sure ? Swara actually took my name..she talked about me not letting you talk to her.. O yes this happened the same day I left for Delhi and accident"
"Sanskar she is coming back ..she just needs a little more time"
"Thank you ragini..thank you so very much ...I knew..u are her cure"
They both had unshed tears in there eyes
"Anything for my best friend?" She winked at him
"So angel is mine today" she took angel in her arms
"Keep in mind she isn't easy"
"So is swara ..I have a good experience ..more than you"
They both chuckled.
"So then I guess I should finally go see work in person"
"That you have to ..go go Mr.workaholic"
He walked outsides with smile on his face .
Swara was again being her cranky self all thanks to dream she couldn't understand
Swara was throwing her things around
"Shona..."
"Thank god maa..mujhe mere cheez nahi milte..jaise main yahan rehti hi nahi thi"
"Shonaa..tum dhoondh kya rahi ho ?"
"Maa..where is my guitar ?"
"Shona...WO guitar..."
"WO repair k liye diya tha tumne yaad hai ..uske strings toot gayi thi" lied shekar
"Perfect!I don't even remember doing such thing"
"Shona bhool gayi hogayi"
"Aise toh main bahut kuch bhool gayi hogi Jo bahut important ho"
"Shona aisa nahi hai ..agar bhool bhi gayi toh yaad ajayega..." Said shekar
"Baba..mujhe inn baaton sakt nafrat hoti hai..agar main kabhi kuch bhi yaad nahi kar payi toh?'
" nahi shona..aisa nahi kehte.."
"Kehne se kya hota hai maa? When in reality I don't even know what is going around my life..."
"Shonay"
"Anyways I guess dida k ghar par mere kuch books hai ..main wohi le aati hoon"
"Shona main le aata hoon na "
"No baba I can do that..if nothing else I could help myself"
She walked away
"Shekar...sanskar hai wahan...and last night she reacted weird"
Shomi tried stopping her
"Shona ..maa k ghar tumhara kuch saman nahi hai..maa me saara saman store room main shift kardiya"
"Store room why ? That is my room ..my home"
"Shona him jabse yahan shift huwe tab se.."
"Tabse what maa ? You all ppl thought its useless to keep a half dead persons belongings .."
"Shona aisa nahi hai babu..maa ne PG rakha hua hai"
"Wow fantastic"
"Shona maa akeli hogayi thi"
"Maa..no explanations please.."
"And whoever that PG is have to get out of my room.."
She half walked half ran towards her old room
To throw away his things
"This annoying fragnance gives me migraine.. He must have kept my room like all those stupid bachelors keep ..unclean and mess"
She was shocked to see a clean and tidy room and not a thing out of place..
"He needs to get out!"
"Par kyu shonu?" Asked dida
Sanskar came back to get his laptop ,was surprised seeing swara in his room.
She heard little voices.turned to see little angel crying in baby cot..ragini was nearby
Swara walked towards baby her heart filled with unknown emotions
Zindgi hum tujhe kaha dhoonde
An kahe lafzon ka pata puchain
Dono ankhin band kar k tujhe ko dekhin
Tears rolled down her eyes the moment she saw angel. And she couldn't hold them any longer
She sat in corner of the bed and took the baby in her arms ..she cuddled her ..kissed her..embraced her..her tears never stopped
Sanskar was happy seeing this ..which he dreamt everyday.
Baby was equally happy..she held onto swaras little finger with all her strength
"S..swara?"
Their little moment was broken
"Ye baby ?"
She asked ragini never taking her eyes off baby
"Ye humari beti hai" replied sanskar who walked towards swara
Swara looked at him perplexed
"I mean meri beti"
"Tu..tumhari bb..beti?"
He nodded yes
Swara kissed her on her forehead and put her back in her cot..who wasn't ready to leave swaras hand...she somehow managed to get out of her grip
And walked out silently.she stopped at the door
"U can stay here"
And walked away..
ragini ran behind her
Sanskar took crying angel in her arms trying to pacify her
"She shh shhj mera strong baccha..mumma ne pyar kiya na .."
Swara walked towards her room followed by ragini
"Swara?"
"Why ragini why?"
Swara broke down completely..the strength she was showing all these days seemed to shattered..and a little baby had done that
"Swara.." Ragini ran to her side
"I don't know..where I belong..but m sure I'm wanted somewhere else..this pain in my heart doesn't go away..its killing me every day.aur WO baby bhi mujhe bahut akeli dekhi ragini..I can somewhere relate to her..like I have known her forever"
"Sw..swara tumhe aise lag raha ..after all you love babies"
"No ragini...I don't know..but for the first time since I woke up ..I felt peace kyu ragini ?"
"Swara...maybe because like everyone she didn't see with those eyes of concern but love ?"
"Ragini will you help me please?"
"Haan swara.."
"Please freed me of this pain...this pain is shooting my heart.."
Ragini hugged her tight
Diya kyun jale kaisi hai agan
Paniyon se bhi hoti hai jalan
Sanskar was at the door listening to their convo.
He felt helpless like never before,he wanted to go there take his swara in his arms,he wanted to freed her from any pain ..but this time he couldn't do anything
"Sanskar"
He turned to meet eyes his bade maa
He hugged her tight
"I cannot do this..we cannot do this..apka beta haar gaya "
"Sanskar..humare beta kabhi nahi haar sakta.."
"Maa usey itne dard main nahi dekh sakta..I should go away from her..we should go away."
"Sanskar usey kuch yaad nahi par uske dil toh tum dono k liye hi dhadhak raha hai..aise mod par akela kar dog I use ..WO pehle hi bahut dard main hai..dard sehne k liye akela chod dogey ..WO kho jayega ..toot jayegi"
"Maa..Maine kya galathi ki thi ...mujhe mera sab cheen gaya ? Meri puri zindagi yunn bhikar gayi...use itni takleef kyu?"
"Takleef main toh tum bhi toh ho sanskar" said shomi
Sanskar turned away trying to wipe away his traitorous tears
"Kab take chupaoge apna dard? "
"Jab take kam nhi hojata" sanskar replied and walked away
He walked towards terrace.he started watering plants. And then started digging soil.
Ishq da mantar pathar kar de
Miti bhara samandr ker de
Hijr di kali raat te mahi
Tamana ban k akhi bhar de
Tears rolled down his eyes.he broke down. The sanskar maheshawari who had hidden his tears pain all these days was broken beyond amends.all the pain he had been hiding all these days drowned him
***********
Two days passed with swara trying to figure out her life. This time she opted to shut herself away. She didn't come out of her room in fear of bumping into another person who can bring out her pain and insecurities which she tries hard to hide.most important she feared bumping into two person who brought her nothing but unknown feeling in her heart.sanskar tried being away from her as well seeing how she broke down seeing them. It wasn't easy for him stay around her yet stay away
Waqat ki har se nahin haare
Jeet ker lamhoon se nahin jeete
Lehrin chalti jain aur kinare sochein
Shaam kyun dhale kaisi hai agan
Paniyon se bhi koti hai jalan
At night sanskar was on terrace thinking about the day.
Her tears..her pleads was all he could think
"Uhmm"
He turned to the voice ..was surprised seeing swara there
She looked at him without blinking
"Swara him tumhari shawl le aatey hai" ragini broke the silence
Swara nodded at her
"Hi"
"Hi" replied sanskar
"M sorry"
"Sorry kyu?"
"Because i wanted to throw u out of this badi"
"Ohh its okay .."
Swara moved towards the chairs and sat on one
"Sit..." She pointed towards the next chair
"I couldnt stand for longer time...u would possibly know me by now..m the famous swara who was a vegetable for three months"
"Ahh well I dunno such person..but I do know of a person who fought big battle and have these brave battle scars"
"Ahhh..you have way with words..Mr..?"
"Sanskar"
Her heartbeat were erratic. This meeting was was her idea she requested ragini to he'll ..now she can't back out.she prepared her mind now there is no turning back. Swara gadodia never quits.
"Sanskar?"
"Well okay a proper introduction..myself swara Bose gadodia"she brought her hand forward
Swara introducing herself with her maiden name pricked his heart
" myself sanskar"he took her hand
Shiver ran down her spine.. She instantly took her hand back
Kyun ajnabi hai rahein
Kyun chup hai aasmaan
"Just sanskar?"
"Yes just sanskar...why is this beautiful lady not going to accept a man without his surname?"
They both chuckled
"U know..u are the only person who haven't spoke to me like m a fragile China piece which could break with one word said wrong..I liked that about you"
"U are fragile but strong type of fragile I guess"
"Ahh enough about my bravery..which actually I didn't do anything to deserve though..so wat do u do just sanskar?"
"Well m a businessman new to the city"
"Ohh the workaholic types..nice"
"And wat do you do miss swara?"
"Ahh just swara is fine..well a student..who is away from her studies from long time" she chuckled
"I heard you sing"
"Well talks in this badi moves fast..yes..I do sing..me and my sister ragini we both sing..she is into classical music..me in modern day music"
"Ohh..one fine day I sure want hear that"
"Sure sure..hopefully when my throat and broken body agrees...so u live here with family?"
"Yes...my family..me and my daughter"
"Just you two? What about your wife? M sure your daughter is not more than 1 month "
"She is three months + she is a premature baby"
"Ohhh that's why she too small and fragile.."
"Well my wife she isn't with us ...now"
"Oh..m sorry for your l.."
"She is very much alive.." He said defensively
Swara looked apologetically towards sanskar
"M sorry for my slip..but why doesn't she lives with you guys..your daughter is too small to be away from her mother..don't tell me you guys are separated or something..because that will be too harsh on that little soul and her mother as well"swara was angry at thought of being brought up by single parent she had dealt with same fate..and she doesn't want same to fall on the little soul she fell in love with
" no we are not separated..it just ..she is ..lost..."replied sanskar sadly
"Lost. How can a grown up lady can get lost ..she isn't an infant to get lost and not come back"
"She is lost..she cannot contact us neither can we..but I do know she will come back around .she has to"
"Did you guys fought or something?"
"No we are very happily in love couple ..if you intend to ask that..its just ..fate I guess"
"Too easy for you to blame it on fate" she sighed
"So what's her name ?"
"Sss..sur..."
"Wow beautiful name... Did she loved music"
"Yes she loves music"
"What's your daughters name?"
"We haven't decided one...I guess her mum did thought of one..since she isn't around we call her angel for now..when her mum is back we can give her a proper name"
"Angel is a nice name..and yes her mum must have thought of a Nice name for her...and you know what I think ..you love her a lot ..I can't wait to meet her..u talk as if she is right in front of you...u actually make me believe in eternal love"
They were interrupted by ragini who joined them
"Ragini ..I know u know him already still a proper introduction from my side..this just sanskar..our neighbour.. And this ragini my sister"
"Nice meeting you just sanskar" smiled ragini."
"Pleasure is all mine miss ragini"
"Wow aren't u a charmer just sanskar..u just got my shy sister to talk and smile at someone" she smiled
"If you say so ..I take is as compliment swara.."
"That was meant to be a compliment just sanskar"
"Where is angel?I hope she isn't alone"
"Of course not..this badi and people are like family they have taken turns to pamper my baby. They never leave her alone..she is safe hands..for now she is with di...shobha aunty and parvati aunty"
"Ohhh..she is in safe hands..and to inform you beforehand ..you baby is going learn marwadi and Bengali culture pretty soon " ragini and swara chuckled
"Well that is a win win situation I want my angel to learn both cultures equally like her mom" he said looking at nothing in specific and smiling
"Ohh your wife is a Bengali ..sounds nice.." She did saw his expressions changed a little whenever his wife is mentioned she tried changing the subject
"Wow ragini ..I didn't knew badi people have taken interest in gardening I see. Many new and healthy plants here"
" swara..,sanskar does all t gardening"
"Wow sanskar you are brilliant ..this place looks beautiful and serene...just like old days when we used to destress ourselves..carbon dioxide in oxygen out" she said smilinlike reliving old days
Sanskar and ragini were shocked. They looked at each other in astonishment..they couldn't rejoice neither react at anything ..but they were more than amused...her memories knock in ,in weirdest moments
Swara looked confused..and also questioning herself.sanskar signalled ragini to distract her
"Saw..swara..chali na humey bahut neend aarahi hai..aur him tumhare begair chale toh Hume neend bhi nahi ayegi"
"Ragini" swara looked perplexed at ragini
"Haan swara come one chaloo..aur tumhe pata hai papa me aaj milk cake banaye hai..agar tumhe interest nahi hai toh.."
"I guess Hume chalna chahiye ..bye "it was hard for both of them say bye..bye brought too many memories for sanskar and too many questions for swara
Tooti hain kuch lakiren
Aur hum hain darmian aaa
Piya baware kaisi hai agan, piya baware
Paniyon se bhi koti hai jalan
They both walked away
Swara looked back at sanskar who was looking at her with a smile that spoke thousand emotions
