Upto Chance (Tejran)

Part 40

Three months passed by in a blur, each day packed with moments of joy, laughter, and bustling preparations. Ragini and Anditha were deep in discussion, finalizing details for Arjun and Dhara's upcoming wedding. The date had been set—two months from now—and excitement buzzed through the Rajvansh household.

In the meantime, Swara had given birth to a healthy baby boy. She and Sanskar had moved out of the Maheshwari house, a decision that had been met with its fair share of drama but ultimately brought peace to everyone involved.

As for Ragini and Karanveer, they were living some of the best days of their lives. Their bond had only grown stronger, filled with shared smiles, playful banter, and moments of quiet understanding.

At dinner one evening, Arjun brought up an important reminder. "You two do realize your wedding anniversary is coming up, right?"

Ragini and Karanveer exchanged wide-eyed looks, both realizing they had completely forgotten about it.

"Why don't you plan a small vacation?" Mihir suggested casually.

Manvi chimed in, "Exactly! You two didn't even go for a honeymoon. This is the perfect chance."

"But there's Arjun's wedding preparations..." Ragini began, her voice trailing off.

"The wedding is two months away, and we have plenty of time. Decide on a place you'd like to visit," Anditha urged with a reassuring smile.

Dadaji added with a chuckle, "My granddaughter-in-law deserves a vacation. Don't overthink it."

Karanveer nodded. "We'll discuss and finalize it," he concluded, squeezing Ragini's hand gently under the table.

After dinner, as everyone retreated to their rooms, Anditha stopped by Dadaji's room to give him his medicines.

"Time passes so quickly," Dadaji said with a wistful smile, adjusting his shawl.

"Indeed," Anditha replied. "Who would have thought, a year ago, that Karanveer would be married, Arjun engaged, and Manvi in a relationship?" She laughed softly, the memory of a past conversation with Dadaji surfacing in her mind.

"You were right," she added, her voice warm with gratitude. "With time and the right support, everyone finds their happiness."

Dadaji nodded, a satisfied smile lighting up his face. "And when that happens, there's no greater joy."

Flashback

Dadaji sat calmly in his favorite armchair, watching Anditha's with a serene expression.

"I just don't understand why you're so insistent on this marriage," Anditha said, her voice tinged with frustration. "Ragini has been married before. What's to say she will be able to move on with Karanveer? I'm worried for him. He deserves a good life partner."

Dadaji sighed, understanding her concerns. "Anditha, I know you're worried. But Ragini is a good girl. Yes, she has been hurt deeply by her past, but that doesn't mean she can't move forward."

"But, Papa ji, she loved him," Anditha protested. "She was badly hurt by the person she loved. How can we be sure that she'll be able to open her heart again? And what if Karanveer ends up getting hurt in all this?"

Dadaji leaned forward, his eyes reflecting his wisdom. "Anditha, everyone deserves a second chance at happiness. Ragini's past shouldn't define her future. She's a strong woman, and I believe she can find happiness with Karanveer."

Anditha shook her head, still unconvinced. "But what about Karanveer... What if this marriage doesn't work out? What if they can't connect because of her past?"
