Jeene Ki Tammanah Hai

EP - 25 - Happy Birthday Ragini

Sanskaar was packing his clothes…. They will come back the next day… But Sanky was really confused about his wardrobe. After all it was his Ragu Rani’s Birthday Party …. He had to look the best….He kept his gift aside. He had a hard time choosing it for her… Raghu left earlier that day…She dint mention about her birthday to them. They too played along as if they were unaware of it….
He went to his parents room. Papa was packing his and Maa’s clothes. Maa was counting the gifts , which she prepared for her friends at orphanage.
“Maa….Not done yet?? We are getting late….if you going to be like this we will reach there after the Party” Sanky complained…” Papa…. Please tell her na..” Ram showed a helpless expression as a reply to Sanky
“Shut up Sanky….” Sujata shouted…..“Don’t confuse me….I am losing my count….Aggggh…. now I will have to count again” Sujatha started to count the gifts again
“Sanky Beta….I will get her….You go and check out for your Lucky….”Ram said
“Okay Papa……But Please get the woman ready fast” Sanky warned
“Sanskaaaaar” Sujatha screamed “Why are you messing up with my count….I am going to kill you”
Sanky left the place before Sujatha would eat him alive…..

Laksh was done packing and was ready in a white shirt and blue jeans, when Sanky came to fetch him…..Laksh had a small box in his hand. He was smiling lovingly on seeing that box

“Is that your gift??Sanky’s words startled Lucky. He smiled at Sanky warmly

“Yup…It is….one of the gifts…..”Lucky said …gloating

“Did you Design it ?” Sanky could easily guess what was in the box, After all he was Lucky’s elder brother by ten minutes. Lucky , apart from being a pro-businessman , was an ace painter and designer. Painting was his passion, which he left for being a Maheshwari heir…..But occasionally , he used to design outfits and ornaments for Uttara and his friend under his secret Brand name ‘Luckyz’ ….But everything came to an halt after Uttara’s death…..Sanky earlier felt that Lucky will take up designing after his marriage with Kavya…..But that too went wrong.

“Yes………After a long time….”Lucky told with a hidden pride in his tone. Sanky was relieved….Ragoo was able to bring back the real Lucky out…

“But Lucky…..don’t you think that Ragoo would be craving for your love than all these things” Sanky asked….in a rather pitiful tone

Lucky smiled warmly an went to Sanky. And gently held his shoulders…”You were right…..My  Elder brother by ten minutes…..I was not able to resist her….her innocence…her smile and her love…..I won’t care about the useless people anymore…I understood that what I should care about is Ragini and her love….nothing else……”Lucky’s eyes spoke out his sincerity….Sanky was on cloud nine.

“So…..Will you confess your feeling to her??” Sanky extended his curiosity

“hmmmmmm….That I will do……But you will have to put a word in front of your Ragoo Rani to accept this stupid small brother by ten minutes of yours….”Laksh winked his eye

“Anything For You” Sanky dragged his brother into a tight bone breaking hug…..He was the  most happiest person on the Earth….Until his Mom came there

“Arreyy…. Sanky…. You were screaming on me …. that I am late and now you are playing bro- bro here…”Sujatha mimicked a sweet voice . Sanky and Lucky smiled at her “ GET GOING BOYS” She screamed and started to leave…..

“ Ha Lucky,” Sujatha turned “ Here is Ragoo’s Mangalsutra…..Panditji gave me after Pooja, make her wear it “ Sujatha left after handing over the Mangalsutra….Lucky looked at it and smiled

They reached the orphanage by 11 o clock at night…. It was very quite and bit dark there…. And the gates were closed. Sanky and Lucky had no much memories about this place as they came there only twice  …that too when they were little. Sanky pulled out his phone and dialled a number
