GUILT(RAGSAN FF) : Ishq Mubarak

G 1.27

"Come" said Sanskar forwarding his hand to come out of the car as they reached the beach. Ragini stepped out of the car holding his hand. They neared the sea and Ragini stood dipping her legs in the sea water and closed her eyes feeling the tickling sensation. Sanskar looked at her calm face. He clicked her photo from his phone. Ragini opened her eyes and looked at him confused and asked "What are you doing?" Sanskar who was looking at the picture in his phone lifted his head and said "From tomorrow you will become Ms. Rapid Fire again so just want to capture this beautiful time" Ragini smiled at his childish behavior and nodded her head in disbelief. "If I could give him happiness for a small time also I don't think I should back off" thought Ragini. She walked a bit back and bent and took some drops of sea water and splashed it on Sanskar. "Fish. What the hell Ragini" screamed Sanskar as the water drops touched his face. Ragini laughed looking at his annoyed face. Sanskar smiled looking at her. "Wait I will not leave you" said Sanskar. He kept his phone back in his pocket and took some water droplets and splashed it on her face and started laughing. Ragini opened her mouth shocked. "You... I will not leave you" said Ragini and splashed some more water. They kept playing like that in water for sometime and Sanskar chased her and lifted her holding her waist. "Sanskar. Put me down" screamed Ragini shocked. "No ways" said Sanskar. "Please" said Ragini and he melted and brought her down slowly. "You stupid Maheshwari" said Ragini chasing him back.
"Kulfi" screeched Ragini. "No. You will catch cold" said Sanskar. Ragini pouted and said "I thought we are on a date. Here tho you are not letting me eat also" "Fine"said Sanskar giving up. "Bhayya do kulfi" said Ragini to the vendor. "Take" said Ragini handing one kulfi to Sanskar. He took it and started tasting it. Ragini tasted it and closed her eyes enjoying the cooling sensation and sweet taste and smiled widely. Sanskar smiled looking at her. "Why don't you live your life the way you want Ragini. It is so blissful to watch you enjoy your life. You deserve all the happiness in the world" thought Sanskar lost in her beautiful calm face. "I want to capture each second of this time. Don't know I will ever have it again or not" They walked eating Kulfi.
"What?" asked Ragini looking at him. Sanskar came back to world and smiled nodding his head. "You are mad" said Ragini. "And you are beautiful" said Sanskar. Ragini looked at him and they had a brief eye-lock. Sanskar neared her and cupped her face. Ragini's cheek turned crimson and she lowered her eyes feeling shy due to his intense gaze. His face neared her face and Ragini felt difficult to breath. "Ragini" said Sanskar. She looked into his eyes. He kissed her forehead. Ragini closed her eyes and lost herself in his touch.

"Done" said Sanskar keeping the small flag on the sand castle they made together. "Yippie" screached Ragini looking at it. "Come will collect some sea shells" said Sanskar dragging her holding her hand. They collected some sea shells. The setting sun was enjoying their childish acts as it was dipping down the sea. "Why do we collect sea shells " asked Ragini. Sanskar picked a colorful seashell happy and said "I don't know about others but I collect them and store them in a box and name the box with the date. So that I can remember the date always" Ragini smiled at his answer. "And moreover I want to cherish this day as best day of my life in memories" he said meeting Ragini's eyes with his love filled eyes. A tear escaped from Ragini's eye feeling his love. "Why are you hurting yourself so much" said Ragini with painful eyes. "Because I love you. You give me pain or happiness I will always love you" said Sanskar smiling with twinkling eyes. "But I will never love you back Sanskar" His name looked so beautiful in her voice. His smile widened and he said "My love is very strong Ms. Gadodia. I don't need your confession. I know you love me" Ragini lowered her eyes not able to meet his eyes which were speaking only truth. "And I also know you will never accept it. But I cannot stop loving you just because you cannot accept it. I know why you cannot accept it. I don't have any regret due to it also" said Sanskar as a tear dropped from his eye. Ragini looked at him again. She was about to hug him but stopped her approach. "At least live your life like you want to live for today" Sanskar's words echoed in her heart and she hugged him encircling her hands around his stomach and rested her head on his chest. He encircled his hands around her shoulder and placed his chin on her head and enjoyed the cool evening breeze. Two souls never wanted to depart from each other. And the orange sun delighted them. "Life is very short to hold the grudges and regrets Ragini. I know you cannot come out of it immediately. But I will wait all my life for that moment" thought Sanskar. He kissed her hair. "My heart wants to forget everything and forgive you Sanskar but whenever that horrible night comes in my mind I can't listen to my heart in any case. I love you. I love you a lot. But I cannot accept it. Not now not ever. I want to give you pain but I cannot tolerate your pain. I can't run away from your love" thought Ragini. She closed her eyes tightly and held his shirt tightly as she felt his lips touching her hair.
"Come let's leave. Its getting dark" said Sanskar dragging her out of the hug and holding her hand. Ragini tightened her grip on his palm looking at him following him. Sanskar felt her grip and smiled and walked.
