GUILT(RAGSAN FF) : Ishq Mubarak

G 1.32

"Maa this is so yummy" screeched Ansh as he tasted the kheer made by Ragini for her Rasoi ritual. Ragini smiled caressing his hair. "Really beta. It's very tasty. Take this is your nek" said Anu complimenting Ragini and gifted her Kangans. Ragini took her blessings and received the nek. Ragini turned her head to Sanskar. Anu and Ansh also looked at him waiting for his response. "What?" he asked annoyed as everyone was staring him. "Sanskar it's Ragini's Rasoi. You should gift her something" said Anu. "Why should I? I did not taste kheer only" said Sanskar casually. "Chachu taste it and give gift to maa" said Ansh forwarding the kheer. "Ansh I don't eat kheer don't you know." said Sanskar a bit strict. Ansh's face fell.

Ragini who observed it said "Is that the way to talk Mr. Maheshwari. At least for his sake taste it. It's my mistake, I should have asked maa before preparing" Sanskar got up from his chair and said "I have said you don't you try to be my wife" His heart pained to speak so rashly with Ragini but he has to do it to keep her away from himself, and from reminding her of that night. Ragini felt bad. Her pain was visible in her eyes. She could not control herself and headed to the room to hide her tears. Sanskar felt disgusted about himself. "Sanskar is that the way to behave. Why did you hurt her" asked Anu and went behind Ragini. Sanskar was lost not able to say anything. "I hate you chachu. You always hurt her" said Ansh and ran to Ragini sobbing. "Why should I feel bad for that stupid Maheshwari's words.

He was khadoos only. Idiot, monkey and...." said Ragini sobbing and wiping her tears. "And mandh budhi" completed Sanskar. "Ha wahi..." said Ragini pouting. She looked up when she realized it was Sanskar. She huffed and turned her face other side. Sanskar sat in front of her with the kheer bowl. Ragini observed him from corner of her eye. "Actually this kheer tastes like upma. How much salt have you put. I know you did it purposefully for me" said Sanskar with fake anger. Ragini turned swiftly and screamed "Stupid Maheshwari how can you blame me like that I gave you same kheer what I served everyone. Actually now I feel I should have put salt and given to you. No instead of salt I should have put chilli powder and all spices or better I should have put washing powder" Sanskar choked listening to her. "Now you came to know if I want to trouble you I have better ways which you can't even think of" said Ragini smirking. Sanskar gulped horrified. Ragini got up from the bed. Sanskar held her wrist and said "I was just joking. Sorry" Ragini cooled down a bit "Finally I heard sorry from Mr. Akdu's mouth. That's okay" said Ragini and twisted her lips a bit. Anu and Ansh watched them from the door where they were stopped by Sanskar when they came to cool Ragini. Ananya chuckled dragging their attention. Sanskar left Ragini's hand and stood up. Ragini neared Anu and lifted Ananya in her arms and drooled happy.

"Sanskar leave Ragini at her myka for pag phere rasam and bring her in the evening." said Anu. Sanskar looked at Ragini whose expression changed. "Maa let her be here. Why do..." said Sanskar but was cut in by Ragini who said "It's okay maa I will go on my own I have to get my luggage also" Anu turned to Ragini and said "It's rasam beta. From your house someone should come to take you but in such situation I feel let Sanskar take you there. Rasams are rasams beta hope your family understands. Shall I speak to your mom if you are hesitant" Ragini smiled weakly and said "Okay maa as you say" Anu signed Sanskar to take care of Ragini. He smiled weakly and complied. "Ansh come we will leave your school bus must be coming" said Anu calling Ansh. "And don't worry I will handle Ani for today" said Anu taking Ananya back caressing Ragini's cheek and left from there. Ragini looked at Sanskar and he signed let's leave. She followed him

"Arrey Ragini beta." said Saloni maasi when she spotted Ragini outside the gate where she was struggling to get inside. "Saloni maasi" said Ragini and hugged her. She felt like she is hugging her family member only and became emotional. Sanskar's lips pursed tight and he controlled his emotions looking at her pain. Saloni cupped her face and observed her Sindhoor filled hairline and mangalsutra hanging across her neck. "You got married?" asked Saloni shocked. "Maasi wo.." struggled Ragini. She was not finding ways to answer.
