GUILT(RAGSAN FF) : Ishq Mubarak

G 1.09

"Ragu maa. We will meet Ansh na tomorrow. I want to give him choki" said Swara holding lollypop inside their room after dinner when Ragini was preparing the bed. Something flashed in her mind. She could see a small girl holding lollypop and sobbing then two boys fighting in blurred vision. She held her head. "Shona bacha" cried Ragini looking at Swara who was about to faint. She made Swara lie on bed and sat beside her caressing her hair. Tears started flowing from her eyes looking at Swara's condition. She kissed her forehead and went and stood near the window and looked at the sky and spoke "Dadda. See na Shona di's condition. I can't see her like this. Please tell bappa to heal her na soon" She wiped her tears and spoke with her bhayyu and dadda for some time and headed to her bed and slept caressing Swara's hair. Swara used to get flashes sometime. And it used to make her condition still worse and she had to bear severe headache due to it. Ragini could feel her pain and used to break down looking at her condition.

"Ansh" screamed Swara when she saw Ansh entering the park. Ragini saw in the direction and found Ansh waving his hand smiling and entering park. She saw someone entering a car behind him whose only back was visible and the car speeded. She guessed it to be Ansh's chachu. She smiled looking at him. "How is your Dadi Ansh?" asked Ragini caressing his hair. "She is fine Ragu dee. I take care of her tablets now. So that she won't forget" said Ansh smiling. "Good boy" said Ragini and kissed his forehead. "Why does she come out in such condition? Your dad or Chachu doesn't stop her?" asked Ragini concerned. "My papa and mumma both are with God ji. And chachu does not even talk when he is at home" said Ansh sadly. Ragini felt bad for his and Ananya's condition as they had only Anu to take care of them and his chachu was least bothered about his family. How can someone be so irresponsible she thought. "Take this" said Ragini giving the lollypop Swara brought for him to cheer him. "Thank you Ragu dee" said Ansh hugging her. "Thank Shona. She brought it for you" said Ragini. "Thank you Shona dee" he said hugging her. Swara who was pouting sadly said "You always love her more than me".

"I love you both equally" said Ansh.
They played forgetting the surrounding and enjoyed forgetting their pain. "Bye Ragu di. Bye shona di" said Ansh waving bye to Ragini and Swara as they headed back to their home. Sanskar saw Ragini exiting and drove to the park carefully so that she did not see him. He did not want her to distance herself from Ansh after knowing he is Ansh's chachu. Ansh had changed after he met Ragini. He was livelier and Sanskar did not wanted to snatch his only happiness.
"Ansh is so sweet na Ragu maa" said Swara happily. "Haa Shona bacha he is. We will meet him next Sunday" said Ragini caressing her hair as they were walking near their house. Sahil was watching them standing at distance. He looked at Swara. A tear dropped from his eye. He wiped it and got inside his car and drove off.

"So Mr. & Mrs. Gadodia. I called you here as Kishan's mom had complained that your daughter Ragini has hit him very badly. Look at his condition. At this age only she is behaving like this. Control her please. This is last warning" said the Principal showing Kishan who had band aid all over his face and bruises. Ragini who entered scared while entering Principal room fumed looking at Kishan. "He is telling lie" shouted Ragini. Shekar held her as she was ready to attack Kishan. Kishan got scared looking her approach. "Ragu behave" said Sumi. "Maa. He is telling lie. He hit bhayyu with the stone. That he did not tell. He tried snatching my choki, Bhayyu came to rescue me. This dog hit him with stone. You saw na how big wound bhayyu got. I will not leave him" shouted Ragini approaching Kishan dangerously.

He hid behind his mom. Shekar held her and lifted. She was not budging. She was shaking her hands trying to hit him. She even forgot where she was. "Kishan Is she saying true" asked Principal. "Wo ma'am..." he stumbled. "See I told na he is telling lie. I will not leave him" said Ragini trying to get out of Shekar's hold. "Relax Ragini. I'm speaking na" said Principal. "Tell me Kishan" she said turning to Kishan. He nodded his head lowering it. "See Mrs. Khanna. Fault is from your kid's side also. He initiated the fight. Is this what you teach to your kid. To bully the younger kids?" asked the Principal to Kishan's mom. "But that doesn't mean she beat my kid so badly" said Mrs. Khanna. "Whatever she did, she did in rage when she saw her brother bleeding. I will talk to her. But whatever your kid has done is unforgivable." she said. She showed her index finger to Kishan and said "This is last warning for you. If I get one more complaint I'm gonna suspend you from school. Now leave to your class" Kishan ran to his class. "You can leave Mrs. Khanna" she said looking at Kishan's mom. She huffed in anger and left from there. She turned to Shekar and Sumi and said "I'm sorry for what I said. I was not aware of whole truth. But Ragini you should not have hit him so badly beta" "Sorry ma'am. But how do you expect her to behave when her brother is beaten up" said Shekar. "I understand Mr. Gadodia. But this much anger is not good. You saw how she was behaving" she said. "I'm proud of my daughter. She is fighting for right thing" said Shekar hugging Ragini and left from there. Sumi hit her head and said "Sorry ma'am. I will talk to Ragini. Sorry from her side" and left from there. "Bye bacha. Now go to your class" said Shekar dropping Ragini down near her class. She kissed his cheek, waved bye and ran to her class. He got up and started walking. "Shekar don't encourage on wrong thing. This much stubbornness is not good" said Sumi. "Sumi. She did right. Now no more argument please. Let's leave." said Shekar. "Like dad, like daughter. She is your shadow. Just like you" said Sumi nodding her head. "And I'm proud of her" said Shekar. Sumi nodded her head in disbelief and left with him.

"Good morning Sir" said Ragini smiling looking at Sahil as she entered his cabin. He smiled at her nervously and lowered his head. Ragini felt it strange. Because so far Sahil never behaved like this with her. "Sir. Any problem" asked Ragini concerned. He was tensed. He looked at her and nodded his head. "Okay I will take your leave" said Ragini. He nodded his head still staring ground. He was confused. "Ragu ma. My baby sister" ringed in his ears. He wanted to ask Ragini about Swara but how to ask her. He cannot tell her the truth for the time being. He wanted to know why Swara was in such condition. It pained him. He closed his eyes frustrated and leaned back to his chair.
Ragini finished her client list and sent to Sanskar. After sending the file she looked at his cabin which was behind her.
