"That was my Bhai Ragini"
Laksh's eyes were filled with tears now.....Ragini realized this person whom Laksh claimed to be his Bhai holds a special place in his heart..
"Bhai???....but lucky.....you never told me anything about your Bhai...I mean .....I never knew anything.....and why did he lock himself in that room .....and also what were you and Chachi telling him......why would he hurt himself...."...ragini kept throwing her questions without giving Laksh a chance to answer her
"Ragu....my sanskaar Bhai was never like this .....he was the happiest and the most loving person .....he loved his family to the moon and back ...ohh...God I miss my Bhai so much...but now...".... saying this Laksh burst into a fresh round of tears, ragini was also in tears seeing her husband crying like a baby and hugged him to console him.
"But what happened to Sanskaar Bhai Laksh...."... listening to Ragini's question he went back to the memory lane were his Bhai was the light of the house who has now submerged himself into deep darkness from where return is impossible.Laksh looked at Ragini as he spoke
" Ragu... Sanskaar Bhai was barely 6 months older to me ...but he always behaved....like he was way older to me .....he was my partner in crime when it came to annoy maa and Chachi ji....and he was like dad to me when ever I did a mistake ........he was the brightest kid....and was loved by all...In the house....not a day would arrive where Bhai.. wouldn't make the family proud....but one incident changed him completely....one incident...where he lost his reason to live... hadn't it been for a promise he gave my Bhai would have already killed himself.."...Laksh cried thinking his brother's condition
"What incident lucky.....maybe...we can do something to help sanskaar Bhai???..."... ragini trailed off as she saw Laksh nodding no helplessly.."No one can help him ragu....what he has lost cannot be brought back...".. listening to this ragini looked confused towards Laksh.. while Laksh just smiled at her and asked her " have you ever seen unconditional true love....one such love in which nothing matters other than each other's well being in which one can happily sacrifice yourself only if it kept your loved ones safe.....that was the love that swara and Sanskaar had between them..."
Laksh smiled as he recalled the most beautiful years of his life....with his Bhai and swara
" Swara.....??".....ragini gave a questioning look to Laksh.
"Yes swara bhabi... sanskaar Bhai wife...his love....he lived for his swara....swara was not only bhai's wife ragu....she was his life....his entire world revolved around her."
Laksh told with a sad smile..
" Lucky but where is bhabi now... I didn't see her all this while when I was here ....where is she ??" Ragini asked not knowing the storm of emotions she just brought in Laksh.....While Laksh stared to a distant point and started telling her what swara meant in all of their lives
Flashback (4 years back )
There was a huge building with a title of Maheshwari and sons Co...there was complete silence in the office and people were working with complete dedication.. when a man man enters dressed in all black and wishes everyone with a smile..and walks to his cabin whereSANSKAAR MAHESHWARI
CEO , MAHESHWARI AND SONSwas written in all glory , he sat down and called the receptionist and told her to send all the candidates for the post of marketing and sales manager to come to his cabin...
While in mean time a girl was murmuring to herself.. while parking her scooty " what is this Shona. ...your again late for interview ......who told you to binge watch all the Harry Potter movies within a night...huh ....God save me ... I really need this job...🙏🙏..."
She walks to the receptionist and told her that she came for the interview for the post of marketing and sales manager... while the receptionist gave her a kind smile and guided her to sanskaar's cabin...she entered the cabin with a knock and nervously looked around the room ....not finding anyone...she was going to turn around and go back to the waiting area when Laksh barged into the cabin .... shouting.." Bhai ....Bhai.....where are you....huh....where did you go....huh ....Bhai....I need ur help Bhai ...." He was cut off by a calm voice filled with mirth" Now what did you do lucky !!!!😂😂😂"
" Huh...Bhai...you said you will find a manager for the marketing department today...but there is no one there .... it's becoming very difficult for me to see both accounts and marketing.....do something Bhai before I die because of working so much ...." Laksh replied melodramatically for which he earned a slap from sanskaar on the back of his head ...in their own playful banter they forgot about a innocent soul looking at them with her big big eyes amused to see them behaving like kids in the office .....before Laksh could retort to the smack he earned from sanskaar ..his eyes spotted the nervous girl looking at them....and he signalled Sanskaar the same.
Sanskaar looked at her with a smile ...and asked her " What are you doing here ??are you lost ?? Do your parents work here ??"
Listening to his questions swara looked at herself and then to Sanskaar and then to Laksh and again back to herself..and nervously replied" I am 20 years old
.....a....and ..I...I...came here for .....j...job..that.. manager for marketing ....wala ....post ..."..seeing her so nervous Laksh decided to befriend her so that she becomes free with at least one of them..." I didn't know that I looked so scary ....I mean bhai...is khadoos the world knows it but ....me 😱😱😱" which earned him another smack from sanskaar...while the girl laughed whole heartdly.... unknown of the fact that two pairs of eyes were admiring her laugh with a soft smile....soon sanskaar cleared his throat and brought back the three of them back to the situation they were in " umm.....if u had come for the interview your time of arrival was 8:30 ....and it's already 9:00 now ....you are late for the interview ....how do I expect you to come to office and do your assigned works on time..." Swara was in tears listening to this she thought that she lost this job as well ....she went down on her knees and sat in front of sanskaar folded her hands and cried " please ....pl....please give ...m....me this ... J...job....I promise I'll....be ...on time.....please 😭😭"
Sanskaar was shocked seeing her crying this way ...for some reason his heart felt immense pain on seeing her tears...he moved back and made her stand and told her to sit on the chair and took her file where all her certificates where present...he looked impressed by her scores and looked towards her who was now looking down....and with a soft smile asked her ..." What's your name??" ...while Laksh looked at him with a shocked face as sanskaar hates late comers and grinned like a Cheshire cat . ... looking at both of them ....and thinking to himself" yeah!!!! I finally got my cute bhabhi ....omg she is so innocent...only she can handle my Bhai....yes.... yes....have to tell this to maa....and Chachi ji "...he came out of his happy world when sanskaar snapped his.. fingers in front of laksh's face ...and glared at him.." So what do think Laksh???...."..
" What Bhai?!?!...think what ?!?!" Laksh asked perplexed..." Huh .....Laksh do you even know what's happening around you....huh....useless...fellow.....I was asking what do you think about swara taking...the post of marketing and sales manager??"
" Hain....Bhai... Who swara??"....Laksh still remained confused...while swara giggled listening to Laksh....and Sanskaar glared at Laksh...and spoke with gritted teeth" Lucky her name is Swara Bose."
" ohhh...Bhai...you should have told this before"....as realisation dawned on Laksh... earning sanskaar's another deadly glare...making Laksh run from there " Welcome to Maheshwari and sons swara!!!"******************************************
