Part 31
Ragini went to her room and was crying her heart out'.she wanted to tell her mom that she loved Ranvir but the looks that her mom gave seemed kind of unusual'it felt like she already knew about Ranvir and her'..maybe she didn't and it must be just Ragini imagining that her mom knew everything'..she brushed off her thoughts and wiped her tears and decided that she'll go and talk to her mom about Ranvir.
She was slowly walking downstairs when she heard her parents talking'..Ragini tiptoed towards their room and the voices were getting a little louder'..she stood there and listened.
Prakashchandji was mad that Kaushaliya took the decision of fixing their daughters marriage to someone without consulting him'if not asking''he turned n said'''."Kaushaliyaji'.yeh aapne achcha nahi kiya'.aapne mujhse bina pooche bina salah kiye Ragini ka rishta Shishir se kaise pakka kar diya."
Kaushaliya tried to make him understand'."meri baat suniye ji'.aisa karna bahut zaroori tha'.aap jaante nahi maine khud apne seene per kaise pathar rakh kar yeh faisla liya hai'..aur aap khud sonchiye kya maine kabhi aapse bina pooche kuch faisla liya hai ???"
Prakashchandji becomes furious and asks'.."kabhi nahi kiya toh aaj aisa kya ho gaya ke aapne hamein iss faisle mein shamil karna zaroori nahi samjha?"
Kaushaliya comes nad stands infront of him n says'."agar aaj aisa kuch hua hai toh uski koi thos wajah bhi hogi na ji'..aur waise bhi Shishir aur uske parivaar mein kya kharabi hai??....aap khud bhi toh un logo ko bahut pasand karte hai."
Prakashchandji tried to control his emotions and says'."hum pasand karte hai Kaushaliya ji unhe'..lekin Ragini ka kya'..aapne yeh faisla lene se pehle usse poocha'ke usse yeh rishta pasand bhi hai ya nahi'.usse Shishirji pasand bhi hai ya nahi??"
Kaushaliya suddenly remembered her confrontation with Vasu and says'."Ragini ko Shishirji pasand hai'.aur agar nahi bhi hote toh hum uske maa baap hai'.voh kya hamara kehna nahi maanti'..hum uska bura toh nahi chahenge na."
It was the limit for Prakashchand'.he held Kaushaliya's arms n shook her n asked'."Kaushaliyaji'.aakhir aisa kya ho gaya ke aap Ragini ki shaadi jald se jald karne ke peeche padi hai'..aakhir aisi kya baat hai ke aap sab kuch bhool kar iss rishte ke peeche padi hai??"
Now even Ragini was curious'.as to why her mom was so adamant about this rishta'.Kaushaliya made up her mind that its time to tell her husband the truth'..she went and stood by the window and said'.."humne agar yeh rishta jald se jald nahi kiya toh Ragini aur Ranvir ke beech ki yeh nazdikiya kahi pyar ka mod na lele'..aur yehi baat hai jo mian nahi hone dena chahti."
Prakashchand was surprised hearing about Ranvir and Ragini'.he politely asked'."agar Ragini Ranvir ko pasand karti hai toh usme bura kya hai??"
Kaushaliya turns to face Prakashchand n says firmly'.."pehle agar mujhe unki nazdeekiya khatakti thi'.toh uski wajah kuch aur thi'.lekin ab''ab main yeh Ranvir aur ragini ka rishta bilkul nahi hone dena chahti kyunki'..kyunki Vasundharaji bhi aisa nahi chahti."
Prakashchand was shocked'..he asks'.."Vasundharaji??"
Kaushaliya started crying and in a very heavy tone she says'"haan Vasundharaji'..aap jaante nahi unhone mujhe mandir bulakar'.Ragini aur hamare parivaar ke bare mein kaisa bura bhala kaha hai'..voh main aapko bata bhi nahi sakti''aisi kaun si maa hogi...'jo chahegi ke uski beti aise ghar mein jaaye jaha uski hamesha bezzati ho'.jaha uski saas hamesha yeh samjhe ke usne uske bte ko phaas kar shaadi ki hai''main yeh kabhi bardaasht nahi kar paaongi ji'..nahi kar paaongi."
Kaushaliya cries hard and Prakashchand ji comes and puts his hand on her shoulder and she hugs him tight and cries even more'.n says''"usse achcha toh yeh hai ke voh Shishirji se shaadi kar le''aur phir kya hoga''thode din voh apne pyar ko yaad karegi'..uska gham karegi'..phir apni grahasti ko savaarne mein sab bhool jaayegi''aur Shishirji bhi toh usse itna pyar karte hai'..mujhe yakeen hai ke voh usse bahut khush rakhenge''.main ek maa hoon ji'.main apni beti ka bura toh nahi chahungi na."
Prakashchand was shocked and speechless'.he cudnt think of anything as he cudnt believe his ears that Vasundharaji had said all this....he just hugged kaushaliya and tried to calm her down.
It was the same with Ragini'.she was shocked to learn that'Vasundhara was not okay with this relationship'.she wondered if Ranvir had already talked to her about it''and maybe that's why she reacted that way''she decides to talk to him.
Here in Ranvir's room'..Ranvir is standing by the window and remembering Ragini's embarrassed face when she was all wet and he smiled on the thought of her in his arms for that short while'..Still smiling with a sparkle in his eyes Ranvir shook his head and looked down and then he felt someone's footsteps'.he turned to look and it was Vasu.
Vasu knew why Ranvir was smiling and she was not able to swallow the fact that Ranvir could love a girl like Ragini'.who is not equal in his status, in his looks, in his etiquettes'..but still he found something amusing about her to had fallen head over heels for her'..she smiled when Ranvir came near her'..and very politely said''"Ranvir hum tumse ek favor chahte hai"
Ranvir like always very charmingly asked'."yes mom'.kahiye na."
Vasu smiled cunningly and said'."humne Alekh ke liye kuch top physicians ko bulaya tha bahut requests karke'.per hamein bahut zaroori kaam aa gaya hai jo hum agar nahi gaye toh bahut mushkil ho jaayegi'..kya tum plz Alekh ko lekar jaoge??"
Ranvir said politely'"main zaroor jaata mom'per bhabhi hai na'.aur bhabhi ke rehte Alekh bhaiyya ko kisiki zaroorat nahi padegi."
Vasu says immediately'."haan Sadhna ko bhi le kar jaao'..pata nahi unn doctors ko dekh kar Alekh kaise react karega'..toh tum rahoge toh sadhna ko himmat rahegi Alekh ko sambhaalne mein."
Ranvir also feels that its true'.otherwise it'll be too much for sadhna bhabhi'.so he agrees'."ok mom'aap kehti hai toh main bhi chala jaata hoon'.toh phir main abhi tayyar ho ker aaya."
Ranvir goes into the washroom to get ready and here Vasu thinks that she had achieved two things in one shot'..she had got Alekh to see the doctor coz she knew Alekh wud not have listened to her but he wud listen to Sadhna and Ranvir'.so now she can relax that the top doctors can take a look at him''and then it was the best opportunity for her to get Ranvir's attention away from Ragini as much as she can'..If he'll stay away then he'll not think of her'..and now she'll have to think of more of these excuses to get Ranvir busy.
She took a relieved breath and smiled in herself for her achievement and was about to leave the room when Ranvir's phone rings'..Vasu's heart skipped a beat as she saw Anamika's name on the caller ID'..she was about to pick it up when she hears Ranvir coming out'..Vasu immediately cuts the phone and puts it on mute''Ranvir after he's all ready to leave looks around the room as though he forgot something'..and then Vasu asks'"kya hua Ranvir??? Kya doondh rahe ho??"
Ranvir still looking around says'."kuch nahi mom'.bas voh mera phone nahi dikh raha."
Vasu deliberately hands him her phone and says'"ohh yeh lo'yeh raha'..ok ab chalo varna deir ho jaayegi."
Ranvir takes the phone and without even looking at it'.keeps it in his pocket and leaves.
After Ranvir left'Vasu was thinking of doing something about Ragini when Ranvir's phone in her hand rings again'..and it again shows Anamika's name on it'.Vasu gets furious and she picks up the phone and Ragini on the other end starts talking'.."Hello Ranvir'..mujhe aapse bahut zaroori baat karni hai''voh'.."
She was still in the middle of her sentence when Vasu interrupts n says'."kya batana chahti ho Ranvir ko tum'..ke kaise uski maa ne tumhe aur tumahare parivaar ko apni aukaat dikhayi hai'.yehi shikayat karne ke liye jab se phone kiye jaa rahi thi na??.....hamare bte ko phaans kar apne ishaaro per nachaane ka jo tumne plan banaya tha'..jab usse nakaam hota hua dekha toh Ranvir ko apna rona sunana chah rahi thi??"
Ragini was shocked and stunned by Vasu's tone'.she was quiet the whole time n only the tears were rolling down her cheek'.with a very heavy voice'.she says'."nahi auntyji'aap mujhe galat samajh rahi hai'.main aisa kuch bhi'."
Vasu bursts with anger n says'."tumhara inn sab cheezon ke peeche kya matlab hai hum achchi tarah se jaante hain'.hamare bte ko phaans kar itne bade gharaane mein shaadi karke aane ka jo tumne khaab dekha hai hum usko kabhi pura nahi hone denge'.tumhari aukaat dekhi hai'.arre tumhara status phir bhi hum ignore kar lete'.per tumhari surat dekhi hai aaine mein kabhi??? Pata nahi kya jaadoo tona kar diya hai hamare bte per jo usse tumhari badsurat si shakal nazar hi nahi aati'..per um tumhe apne bte ki zindagi tabah karne kabhi nahi denge'..aur tumne agar aisi koshish bhi ki toh hum tumhare parivaar ko sadak per laa denge'..samjhi tum'..ab dobara hamare bte ko contact karne ki koshish bhi mat karna'.varna keh dete hai'achcha nahi hoga Ragini."
Vasu cuts the phone without listening to Ragini's plea'and here Ragini cries hard hiding her face in the pillow'.remembering Ranvir's embrace she hugs the pillow tight.
