Hello guys.... Sorry for the late...

*****

Ragini is driving car and returning home when her phone rings. She stops her car aside and picks the call.

Ragini: Hello bandar!

Adi: Yaar where are you? Why didn't you reach home still? It's my mistake to leave you and come back.

Ragini: arey arey my express... Take a break... Breathe in breathe out... I am returning home. I was struck in traffic. So took another route. So don't worry I will be reaching soon.

Adi: (unbelievable expression) Don't tell me you are using those google maps again.

Ragini: Ofcourse. Don't you remember how we used to roam all over the Kolkata when we came here for the first time just with the help of google maps? And you should respect them ok. Say Google mata ki jai.

Adi: (irritated with her chanter) Shut up Chudail. Come fast. But don't drive fast. Be careful.

Ragini: Ji bandar ji. See you soon.

She hangs up the call. And starts driving again. At that time she sees some car and a man near the car. She frowns when she got the clear picture of the person.

She stops the car and horns. The person looks at her. She comes out of the car.

Ragini: What happened jija ji?

Sanskar: Thank god yaar Ragu I found you. Arey yaar my car stopped suddenly.

Ragini: Then what are you waiting for? Chalo get into the car. I will drop you and go back home.

Sanskar: (hesitatingly) umm... Actually... Wait a minute.

He goes towards his car while Ragini keeps looking at him. He opens the door and goes inside the car and brings Laksh who is semi conscious outside. Ragini looks at him and gasps in shock.

Sanskar makes him sit in the back seat.

Sanskar: I will drive.

Ragini just nods. She is completely in shock. She remembers how Laksh used to say that he hates alcohol and now seeing him in that condition her heart pained.

Ragini: (with difficulty) What...what happened... to him?

Sanskar: (smiling sadly) He is drunk. Don't know what happened but since six months it is his daily routine. He don't return home without being drunk. And everyday driver brings him home. But today driver is on leave so I went to pick him.

Sanskar wipes the tear which is about to escape from his eye.

Ragini turns towards window and wipes her tears. She keeps looking outside till they reach MM.

Sanskar: Ragu can you please drop him in his room. Third room in the upstairs. I will bring some buttermilk for him.

Ragini just nods and helps Laksh in walking in his semi conscious state. Her eyes start flowing while she walks towards his room. She makes him lay on the bed and removes his shoes. She covers him with the blanket. She was about to move but stops feeling a hold on her wrist.

Laksh: (in semi conscious state murmurs) Please bacha one chance. Let me apologize to you. Please.

Ragini sobs looking him in that condition.

Laksh: I Love you so much Ragini. Please forgive me please.

Ragini sits beside him. She caresses his forehead and looks at him with teary eyes.
