Part 4
Kolkata 2011
It was a full moon night...The stars were shining down...yet everything was dark and depressing. She was walking down the lane with the bag in her hand. The gravity of the situation hitting her hard. She had no clue what she would be doing or where she would be going. Her parents had disowned her that evening...because of the supposed crime that she had committed. She wanted to meet Swara once...but she knew it was impossible. She had seen the hatred in Sanskar's eyes for her...The pain in his eyes...the pain of a father for his unborn dead child. She was worried for Swara. If only she could tell them what the child meant to her.
Lost in her thoughts she walked down...when suddenly the honking of a car woke her up from her trance. A sense of panic gripped her...A killer was still in the house...One who had killed an innocent, unborn child...but what could she do. She was helpless.
Then suddenly the fear turned into anger and then hatred. Nobody actually trusted her. Some baseless proofs and she was stamped a criminal...she looked at the stars...the pent up emotions gave way...For an hour...maybe two or three...she forgot everything...and cried...and cried...and cried...but promising herself that after this...she would never cry again...because there were no tears left. This was a fight for her existence against all odds. If life was harsh on her...she would give it back...she had to...
Mumbai 2016
She was coming back from the studio when she got a call from the housekeeper that a gentleman had come to meet her who refused to reveal his identity. Ragini was used to producers and music arrangers who would come to meet her often not revealing their identity...but today she was feeling weird and uncomfortable. She blamed it on her packed schedule. She did not exactly want to meet this unknown person. She wanted to spend some time with Sargam...poor girl...she was missing her mother's care...but there was no other way out. Things are always difficult for a single mother.
She entered the living room of her apartment...even in the dim light...she recognised his outline...
when she agreed for the interview. ..she knew somewhere in her heart that this was a possibility...but..
He came towards her...she froze there like a statue
"Long time Ragini...how are you doing?"...he asked in a calm voice, but she could sense his eagerness
"Come to the point Mr Maheshwari...I probably know why you have come here...but I want you to tell me that"...she said coldly...steeling her heart and wiping any emotions
"Okay..."...He said...she looked straight at his eyes..."Ragini...is Sargam my daughter?"
Something broke in her yet again...
"Mr Maheshwari...you have the audacity to ask me this question?...5 years back you hurt my self respect...and you have managed to do that again...somehow you never trusted me...not then...not now"
"But Ragini..."...he started
Ignoring him...she continued..."Can you even think this child could be anybody else's?...I had loved you once...as much as I hate you now...and this hatred keeps me going in life...I never...ever felt the need of loving anybody ever again"...
To be cont'd...
