New York,U.S.A.
Swara's POV
16 years have passed by since me and Sanskaar left the house.It feels as if it was just today.I have no qualms about the decision taken by Sanskaar.Yes miss the family members but living with Ragini an her whims and all the surrounding her was more of exhausting.Mom and Dad were more than supportive of this decision.I still remember what Mom said to me the day me and Sanskaar were leaving for U.S.-Kabhi aapne upar ye bojh mat lena Swara ke ye ghar thare wajah se toota hai,Ye ghar ussi din toot gaya tha jab ye Laksh Ragini se shaadi karke aya tha."Ragini" the one mention of my sister brings back all the memories I don't wish to bring back. Yes I talk to Ragini when I talk to everybody else but that is only for the sake of Pari bhabhi.She is like a elder sister to me and I just cannot disobey her.I talk to Ragini for the sake of talking,I bolt at every chance.I have not forgiven her for the stunts she and maasi had pulled during my and Sanskaar's wedding.Dadi manipulative nature had taken my mother's life as well.Ma passed away almost immediately after me and Sanskaar came to U.S.Baba was broken and so were Dida and Dadi's relationship.Dida had moved to Canada with my masi and cousin.After coming here we got the 2 most biggest joys of our life-Rohan and Gayatri.Sanskaar wanted a girl and I wanted a boy but god gave me both together.Mom was ecstatic when she heard that I wa pregnant.She stayed with me like my own mother would have stayed with me for all 9 months.Took care of me and even today she gangs up with me against Sanskaar. Sanskaar often says-Mere parents mere nai rahe Swara,you stole them from me 😆😆.
As Swara was lost in her own thinking world Sanskaar slowly gave her a kiss on her cheek.
Swara-Sanskaar hum living room mai hai bedroom mei nahi.Tumhare do 14 saal ke bacche hai.Kuch to sharam karo.
Sanskaar-Swara mai aapni biwi ke saath romance kar raha hoon,woh padosi ki Mrs James ke ssath nai.Aur wase bhi mere bache mujhe romance karte dekhe ge to you know uture mei kuch sikhege.
Swara-Mrs James ke saath romance karke to batao phir mai dekhti hu.
Rohan enters hearing their parents conversation.
Rohan-Haww dad aap Mrs James ke saath romance kar rahe the.Aapki choice itni old kaise ho gayi.It seems as if umar ka asar hai.
Sanskaar-Rohan are you calling me old ???
Rohan-Nope dad mai aapko old kase keh sakta hu meri pocket money band ho jaye.😆😆
Gayatri-Oh I see Mom and "Bodyguard" are teaming up against my dad.dad donot worry mei aapko support karugi.
Rohan-Gayu mai tujhse bada hu.
Gayatri-Tum mujhse sirf 3 mins bade ho Rohan.Aur wase bhi koi pahad nai toda hai tumne.😆😆.
Sanskaar-Shona agar aab in dono ko nai roka toh yaha Nuclear War ho jayegi.
Swara-Ok ok tum dono bas karo chalo brakfast ready hai kar lete hai.Ladna band karo chalo.
Rohan-Mom hum lad nai rahe hai.Yeh mera aur Gayatri ka bhai-behen wala pyaar hai.Dad aur Uttara bua bhi toh ladte hai.
Gayatri-Yes momsie chill.
Sanskaar-Ok enough chilling ho gayi now lest eat guys.
This was the way Swara and Sanskaar' morning started.At they loved every bit of it.They knew these things donot last very long.After children donot stay small forever.When their parents used to say it they did not believe it happens with you -you start to believe it.Swara suddenly happened to look at calendar and noticed the date -8th June.It was Sahrmistha's barsi.She hated that day.-
Gayatri looked at her and noticed her looking at calendar and realized that next day would be her nani's barsi.She knew her Mom absolutely hated that day.And even more strange Ragini Chachi used to call every year on this date but mom never talks to her. She never asked Swara or Sanskaar anything because she knew if her parents were hiding anything from her maybe it was for her own good.-
Rohan on the other hand absolutely despised Ragini chachi.Few years back Vivaan bhai had told him what had conspired between Ragini and Swara and what Ragini had done in the house.He had confirmed this with his parents and their silence confirmed everything.Of course Gayu did not knew anything about it.She did nt even know that Ragini was just their Chachi but also their Masi.
Kolkatta,West Bengal
India.
Maheshwari Mansion.
Dinner was being served by the servants.Everybody was sitting when DP as his everyday routine glanced at the 2 empty seats of Swara and Sanskaar.16 years ago he had judged two girls wrong.One who he had thought to be juvenile,brash,illegitimate bengali girl made this house feel alive again.Brought happiness to his house.And the one he thought was from orthodox,simple,marwari girl destroyed his house,his son.From that he had learned never to judge people from their clothes.As dinner was being served AP asked Laksh
AP-Laksh kal tum Sharmistha ji ki barsi puja mei ja rahe ho na jo Shekhar ji ne rahkhi hai.
Laksh-Haa maa mai jaa raha hoo.Par ma aap Swara aur Papa ko samjha ye na ki woh Ragini ko bhi is puja mai baithne de.Aakhir woh bhi unki beti thi.16 saal ho chuke hai is baat ko.Kitna khichege.Rohan aur Gayatri ko bhi kabhi India nahi bheja oonhone.Pari bhabhi aap samjhyi Swara ko woh aapki ek bhi nai talti.
Pari-Laksh mei Swara aur kuch samja sakti hu par ye uski maa ke baat hai.Woh jo decide karegi wo final no questions asked.Aur rahi baat Rohan aur Gayatri ki India aane ki toh woh unki maa hai Laksh.
Sujata-Laksh Pari sahi keh rahi hai.Shona maa hai unki jaanti hai kya sahi hai,kya galat (Eyeing Ragini) aur kon galat hai.Agar usne tai kar liya ke woh dono aathe na aavege toh yaha na aavege.Aur sach poocho to mai bhi khilaaf hoo unke yaha aane se.
Lash-Chahi Ragini unki Masi hai
Sujata-Laksh rishto ke baare mei maare ko na sikha.Aur waise bhi bache yaha aavege toh sawaal karege.Sanskaar aur Swara kya jawaab dege oonhe.14 saal ke do baccho ke jawab dena,bada karna koi aasan baat nai hai.Par tujhe aur Ragini ko ye baat samajh nai aayege.To tu rehne de.
Ragni heard the lst sentence and tears welled up her eyes.AP tried to stop Sujata but it was too late.This was something no one spoke of.Ragini and Laksh di not have any kids.While Ragini had tried to commit suicide some damage had been caused to her Uterus which resulted in this complication.Ragini and Laksh considered Vivaan,Gayatri and Rohan as their own children.But Vivaan was more close to Swara because she could understand her problems and give her solution.She did not make a big hulla-bulla out of it.When Vivaan had suggested to DP that he wanted to take medical Ragini had commented as to he should go in business as he was the only son of the family.To which Vivaan had sharply commented that he did not believe in this girls and boys thing and had told her that some day Gayatri wold run this business as she had Sanskaar's gene and he was 150 % sure of that.Hearing that RP and Sujata were immensely proud of their grand daughter.Vivaan hated her old thinking and considered it medieval.Rohan and Gayatri were not in India and truth to be told Swara kept them at hands distance from Ragini.
DP-Bas Laksh bohot behes ho gayi.Parineeta sahi keh rahi hai.Sharmishta ji ke saath jo kuch bhi hua woh galat tha.Uske liye ahi na kahi zimmedar Ragini bhi hai.Aur Swara ka faisla aantim faisla hoga.
Laksh-To theek hai mai khud Swara se baat karooga.
Adarsh-Laksh tu rehne de.Sab ke decisions ko respect karna seekh.Woh Shona ki maa thi.Uski takleef kam nai kar skta to kamse kam badha mat.Ragini samajaho iss kuch yaar.
Ragini-Lakshji rehne dijye jab hamari behen hame dil se maaf karega tabhi hum us pooja mei shamil hoge.Kal aap chale jayega .
