After completing his work Harsha went to his room only to find Deepak sitting on his bed and in deep thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Harsha asked sitting on the bed next to him.

["I want something but you won't give me that."] Deepak typed it and showed it to him.

"Didn't I give you everything you asked?" Harsha asked him leaning on his pillow. Deepak crawled towards him and sat on his knees.

["I want her."] Harsha frowned and looked at Deepak.

"Her? Who her?" Deepak also frowned and puffed his cheeks.

["Ragini. I want Ragini."] Harsha smiled a little.

"Why?" He asked controlling his smile.

["I will make her my mother. And then she will be with me forever".] Harsha was shocked to read that.

"You know I don't want you to get hurt and that's why I am not getting married."  Harsha tried to make Deepak understand it. Deepak shakes his head in 'No'. Suddenly he took his tab and typed something in it and showed it to Harsha.

["Let's make a deal?"] Deepak said. Harsha looked at Deepak and finds that he is very determined to get Ragini.

"Deal? Ok, tell me what you will give. As far as I know, I am the one who gives you what you want. You tell me, what can you give me?" Harsha smirked asking that. Seeing that his son is giving much pressure on his little brain Harsha sighed.

"Don't give your brain too much pressure. Think carefully before you ask something. And go to your room I need to sleep." Harsha waved his hand at Deepak. Deepak pouted and left the room.

Seeing his son showing some emotions now Harsha felt happy. So he decided to make Ragini his 'mom'. He slept peacefully with a smile on his face.

The next day Ragini again went on the search for a job as a music teacher and the house. Time passed and her every move was informed to Harsha. Harsha, on the other side, waiting for Ragini's information. He called the investigator.

"Sir." The person on the other side of the phone answered.

"When will I get her information, Amar?" Harsha asked in a cold tone. His patience is decreasing.

"Sir, I got only the basic information and I was about to mail you the information. Sorry for the delay sir." Amar replied apologetically.

"It's ok. Mail it immediately." Saying that Harsha hung up.

Harsha opened the mail right after he got it. He stared at her image for a while. He dont knows but he did feel something.

Ragini was serving the customers and was near the counter. Right then Harsha entered and his breath hitched seeing her directly.

Ragin hears the bell ringing and welcomes them without seeing their face. Harsha goes and sits near a table. Ragin went near Harsha to take his order.

"How can i help you, sir?" Ragini asked politely.

"I would like to have a Black Coffee that's it," Harsha replied by observing her.

Her voice, her face everything about her is screaming innocence. Buy the question he had was is she innocent as she appears?

Ragini gets him his coffee when she is returning he calls her.

"Miss. Ragini Gadodia," Harsha calls her with her full name. She stopped in her trace and her heartbeat increases rapidly.

"Well, I have something to discuss with you," Harsha says as he saw her not moving.

"I...I think you got the wr... the wrong person." Ragini's status while speaking. Harsha smiles listing to her stuttering voice.

"No. I am sure that you are Ragini Gadodia. As you were the one who saved my son Deepak two days ago." As soon as she hears Deepak's name she turns and faces Harsha. It was her first time seeing his face.

"What do you want from me?" Ragini asked gripping the tray.

"Well please take a seat. I need to talk to you about something important." Harsha gestures to Ragini to sit on the chair opposite him. Ragini sits nervously.

"You see Miss. Ragini Gado..." Ragini cuts him in the middle.

"Just Ragini," Ragini says.

"Ok, Miss. Ragini, I am Harsha Rajvansh, Deepak's father.  I think you know them as they came here yesterday." Ragini nodded her head.

"My son didn't speak or smile wholeheartedly for the past two years. But for the past two days, he started to smile and laugh openly and I came to know that you are the reason for his smile. All want is to see my son normally like other children. So I am here to propose to you for the marriage." As soon as Harsha finished Ragini looked at him in utter shock.

"Excuse me? Marriage? Seriously. I know it will be very hard for children to go through that trauma, but why should I marry you for him." Ragini couldn't understand and is cant coup her mind with what he just said.

"I think you didn't understand properly I'll repeat. I want to marry you. And I want Deepak to have a mom who will love him..." Before Harsha could continue Ragini stands up.

"Listen, sir, I have already experienced an unwanted marriage. I have already been an unwanted bride. So please for god sake leave me. I dont want to be bound in any type of unwanted things anymore." Saying that Ragini turned to leave.

"You ran away from your family right?" Harsha spoke leaning back on his chair. Ragini stopped in her trace and turned to him immediately. And Harsha gave her a small smile.
