The Unexpected

Continue from last...

Shekhar looked at them, "I haven't given him my approval for this alliance."

Laksh looked at him without fear, "well I haven't asked you." He completely turned to Shekhar to face him, "I, Laksh, would like to ask for Ragini's hand," he raised his hand showed his palm toward Shekhar, Laksh turned to Ragini, "Ragini would you like to marry me?"

Parvati fumed in anger, "Oye how dare you to ask her in front of us. We are the elders and you just can't ask her directly!"

Laksh frowned at her, "of course I can, she is an adult. She can vote, she has rights and she has an own mind. She can take a decision for her life, she doesn't need your permission for anything, she is an independent woman!"

"An independent woman or a foolish woman?"

Laksh made a fist in anger, "how dare you?" The voice of his father raised the already heated atmosphere in the hall, "who has asked for your opinion?"

"Don't forget you are here to ask for hand with my..."

Laksh shook his head, "I'm here as Laksh not Lakshya Maheshwari. As usually you have no idea what is going on, so please Mr. Durga Prasad Maheshwari stay out of this matter. It's non of your business!"

DP fumed in anger, his face expression changed and the redness on his cheek increased, being insulted like this in front of everyone, was something he had never expected.

"Laksh!"

"Yes, Laksh, only Laksh," he said determined not giving his father a chance to break his confidence.

"I don't care," Shekhar shouted, "she is still living under my roof, she will do what I will say her to do."

"Why Shekhar?" The familiar voice of Shamishtra gained everyone's attention, "why will she do what you will say?"

"Sumi leave it, they should do what they want," her mother tried to hold her back, but Sumi didn't listend.

"No Maa, Ragini has a right to decide whatever she wants in her life. I'm happy that she isn't like her father spineless, she fought for Laksh innocence and stood by his side, not like you Shekhar. You always hide behind your mother and do as she said, and look where it leads us. Janki never deserved what had happened, I'm not better than you, I stayed instead of leaving, but what you did was a crime. And now you are trying to do same with Ragini, like your mother did with you." Her heavy heart finally got relief from the burden she had carried for a long time.

Now it was like two sides of families, those who supported RagLak and those who were against RagLak.

"Oh Chori, why you are rushing, let me breath."

"Maa you are too much, Lucky Bhaiya is going to ask for Ragini's hand, do you really think I'm going to miss this, no way." Uttara entered the house and got a shock, "Baare Papa?"

Sujata entered the house with fear, "Bhai Sa, Baache hain {They are kids}," then her gaze fall on Laksh, "Lakshya!" She pinched his cheek, "Your mother is waiting outside, get her in."

Laksh shook his head, "no, if she wants she will come. I haven't called any of you, I'm surprised who has given the news to everyone," his gaze shifted from Omi to Uttara and then to Swara and Sanskaar, "privacy, is something we all should learn and respect."

"Lucky I don't know how Baare Papa got to know about it, must be from Dad I told him too to come and support you. By the way, he is also outside freaking scared like Baari Maa from Baare Papa."

"The speciality of DP Maheshwari to suppressed the freedom of his own family." Laksh said pointing out the truth everyone was thinking.

"Laksh please," Adarsh placed a hand on his shoulder, "you just focus on Ragini."
