His devoting Wife - RagLak (on Hold until Target)

Chapter four

Hi

Recap: Laksh care for his granny, Ansh smalltalk with Ragini in Hindi. Laksh horse riding with Ansh, Rohan and Ragini.

Laksh looked at his grandpa, "Daada who is she?"

Sneha laughs snarky, "Laksh she is just a maid or a caretaker."

Ansh pouts, "caretaker? then why isn't she here taking care of me by feeding me with her soft hands?" He was looking at the bread in his hand and the small size it it, "how will I eat now?"

Laksh laughs, "just turn I will feed you."

Ansh looked at him and his big hands, "I don't think it will be as good as she did it, but fine Aah!" He opens his mouth and Laksh fed him.

Ansh was disappointed, "so ugly hands, her are so soft." He took his plate and stood up, "mummy feed me." He said rushed to Pari.

Daada was angry, "she isn't just a caretaker or a maid. She is...? You know she entered our life after we sent Laksh abroad for his higher studies."

Vikas nodded, "you adopted her?" He was disappointed too. Another mouth to fill with money. I don't want to share the property there are already so many.

Daada shook his head, "no, nothing like this." He looked at Laksh and smiles, "you know how difficult it was to live without? You had become our habit, to play with you, feed you even to make you smile or your weird demands, we were missing it all."

Laksh smiles, "Daada even I missed each moment with you and Daadi, but you sent me away." He said with an upset face.

Daada agreed, "it was necessary. Today you are a well educated man, while she just went to school till her 3rd grade."

Adarsh was confused, "wait! What you mean, she just attend school till her 3rd standard, why?"

Ansh was listening to everything. Oh yes, Ragini can't speak English. I have to inform them.

"Bhai it would make sense, we were outside and she was only speaking in Hindi, there she confessed to Ansh that she has no knowledge about English." Laksh said before Ansh could react.

I'm such a good boy, I didn't speak with a filler mouth, it's okay that Chachu told them. But she told it me.

AP smiles, "she is very caring even know she rushed upstairs to Maa." She looked up to get a sight from her.

DP looked at his father, "what is papa, is there more?"

Daada smiles, "she is an angel."

Ansh and Laksh smiles, "what she did?" They asked in union and looked at each other.

He is like me... both thought.

Daada took a deep breath.

"Shori Daadi Maa, mujhe dheer hogayi {I got late}, humna Babu ko khana kilarahe thain {I was feeding Babu}." She bend down to the bed end and took the massaging oil in her hands, she rubs the oils between her palms and applied it on the legs of Daadi.

"Aapko pata hai, Aaj humne goray ki safaari ki {Do you know, today I got a horse ride}. Babu ke Chachu ne karwayi, par hum daar gaye lehkin woh buura nahi mane {The uncle of Babu let me, but I got scared yet he didn't become angry or annoyed by me}." Ragini was happily smiling and massaging the legs.

"Laksh you were six years old, when we sent you away. She was not even born, she was living in her mother's womb." They all looked at him, "what?"

Laksh was counting her age, "daada you sent me away, I returned home for a short time eight years back, that time I was 18 years old, now I'm 26 years old that means she is 18 years old?"

"Chachu do you need some classes in maths? I think he isn't 18, but maybe 19 years old." Ansh said, "count the womb time. Maa said I took nine months to come."

Daada laughs, "that boy is smarter than you. Haan she is 19 years old. But just turned."

"Fine you met her for the first time in the womb of her mother, then where is she?" Laksh asked and Daada lowers his gaze, "she is no more. Actually, Ragini's mother came to the village, when she was in her 8t month of pregnancy. Her husband died due to some circumstances, she had no one and was looking for a work. We gave her a shelter and looked after her, she wanted to give us something back and started to keep the household. We tried a lot to explain her not to do this, but the woman had self respect." He was smiling happily.

"So she is a maid!" Vikas asked and Daadi frowns, "I said she isn't." He scold him taking another deep breath, "we looked after them, we sent Ragini to school just as long as her mother was alive."

Laksh got confused, "why you stopped Daada?"

Daada shook his head, "when I sent you abroad for your studies then why would I stop her. She was in the 2nd standard, when her mother was doing the household. She was in the garden, we didn't saw it and she never told us, but she was ill and suffered from a heart attack in her young age." He had difficulties to speak.

Laksh crawls to his grandfather, "Daadi drink." He gave him a glass filled with water.

Daada drunk it, "I feel responsible for her death. I couldn't stop her neither I could get through to her." He puts the glass down.

"Then you know I grow your granny grow elder. Ragini was at school I was on the field, when your grandma suffered from a heart attack. Ragini just reached home and saw her. The picture of her mother marked her mind. She stopped attending school and stayed here to look after her. I tried a lot to explain, but she didn't listened to me. Even now she calls me Malik, I have told her many times I'm not her boss I'm her grandfather."

Ansh stood up, "Big Daada you know I can understand you. She is determined it."

Laksh looked at him, "what? No, she isn't."

Ansh stood there with his hands on his hips, "yes, she is. Just think she behaves like her mother with self respect."

Laksh huts with his palm on his forehead, "okay. She is." Ansh smirk victoriously.

"Okay why don't you give her the house to look after, you and Daadi should stay with us in the city. There she will get the best treatment for her stage." Laksh said it what everyone, okay almost everyone thought.

Sneha and Vikas looked at each other.

Daada smiles, "I knew you would say that, but Laksh this is my life I can't leave it."

Laksh shook his head, "not forever. Just as long as Daadi's treatment takes time."

"I will think about it." Daada said, Ragini comes down.

"Babu?" She looked around and found him standing there, "woh kiya karrahe ho {what are you doing there}?"

Ansh smiles, he took his plate and sat next to her again. She continued to feed him with her hands.

It was late in the night, Laksh was looking out of the window. Damn it is so beautiful and relaxing. I don't want to go now I remember why I never wanted to leave.
