Jeene Ki Tammanah Hai

EP - 16 - Forgiving and Forgetting

"Ragini is MY WIFE" Laksh declared

He felt fine after telling it out. It was very difficult for him to be in a situation where his wife was called as his brother's wife. He can't even dream of such a situation. He couldn't stand Ragini's teary eyes, Sanky's shock and his parents' helplessness when Bua maa called Ragini, Sanky's wife. They all were relieved when he told it out...He was the right person to have cleared this confusion.

But, when he looked into his Bua Maa's eyes.....He was broken again. She stared at him with a disbelief in her eyes. Tears rolled down her eyes

"Laksh.., you are joking right??" she pleaded him with her eyes "You are angry with your Bua Maa for staying away from you for a long time, so you are just punishing me na??.His Bua Maa took his hands and squeezed them for confirmation

"No Bua Maa...." Laksh whispered. " Ragini is my Wife"

Bua Maa dropped his hands slowly and walked into her room, slowly in silence. Laksh' eyes met Kavya's , brimming with tears. She took her bag and walked behind Bua Maa. Laksh was heartbroken to see his Bua Maa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks...its been two weeks after Bua Maa's arrival. Everyone was back normal. But Laksh... was not. Bua Maa did not talk to Laksh. She cleverly avoided all the situations during which had to confront him. She talked to everyone expect Laksh , Sanky, Sujatha , Ram and Ragini. Bua Maa treated Viren , Adharsh and Omkara like how she treats Laksh, Joked with them, went for shopping, fed them... Laksh was literally jealous, But he never regretted his actions. He knew that whatever he did was right. But it was just that situations was bit crack

It was a Maha Aarti in their Family temple on that day. Everyone in Maheshwari family was going to the temple. Laksh was in his room ,getting ready for the day in an off white sherwani. He was not happy. His mind was full of Bua Maa .All he wanted was a chance to apologise and win back his Bua Maa.

"Laksh.......Laksh.....Laksh, Laksh , Laksh......"Ragini came running to his room, on reaching near him , she slightly slipped. Laksh got her on time and straightened her. Things slightly changed between Laksh and Ragini. He became bit more amiable to her that she started behaving to him without any fear .....exactly like how she behaves with Sanky. Laksh enjoyed it but he kept a strict yet friendly image in front of her. He became approachable to her but made it sure that he never gave hopes to her.

"Sambhalke Ragini...."He said strictly. Ragini was heavily panting

"Aram se ..."Laksh said slowly

"Laksh.....Do you know what??" Ragini said keeping up the enthusiasm in her words

"what??" Laksh asked confused

"Bua Maa is not well" She said with a million dollar smile. This irked Laksh.

"What is this Ragini?? Bua Maa is not well and you are smiling like an idiot..........Let me go and check on her" He slightly pushed Ragini and started moving.

"Aaa Haa ...Luckyji....Zara Suniye Tho.....why are you in a hurry??"Ragini caught Laksh's hand....Laksh looked at her raising an eyebrow. "I know you are confused...Just listen to me" She made Laksh sit on their bed

"Just spit it out Ragini" Laksh was restless.

"Ok ... Ok... When I went to Dadi maa's room to keep the Prasad I saw Bua Maa there. She told Dadi Maa that she is not well , so she won't go for Maha Aarti" Ragini said and looked at Laksh
