Ragini stood infront of the mirror and watched how she is again wearing a beautiful bridal dress. Her hand is filled with mehandi and her eyes widened with a smile,  still there is an unknown pain came to her. Why? There is no laksh name and why did she forgot?  Why the mehandi designer forgot to add his name?  She pushed away her thoughts and smiled herself. No.. i should be happy,  today i am going to marry the only man i loved,  that too with his own wish,  but her heart have this uncomfortable feelings filled.

She is alone and waited for the time to come soon, Then again that feeling came. Someone is watching her,  an illusion she getting for the past few days.

Ragini turned her head to see if anyone is at door but no. Like everytime this time too there is no one. She sighed and sat on the bed for her family to take her to the mandap.

Those eyeses watched her and their eyes have this longingness to get her. They hided behind the wall so that she didnt see them. A smile formed on their lips and then they walked through the corridor to the stairs and joined the people who are too came to attend her marriage.

Swara worriedly looked sanskaar and sanskaar shook his head. I dont know swara,  i dont know what to do! He cupped her face,  ragini is my friend... but still i am a little bit selfish and i want our marriage to happen without any problems. I cant wait more...

Swara nodded her head. I know..... When she knows the truth,  she will break down hearing the only person whom she want  never loved her. I am afraid she will go to the path she once left,  this time i am choosing my self sanskaar. I want you and thats all now my heart is filled with.

Sanskaar noddes. It will be difficult for ragini,  but once everything will be over we will support her and help to move on.

I know... this is what destiny stored for her. Laksh is never hers! she tried,  tried to snatch him and that story is ending.

Sanskaar sighed. We will have to go to her room now with others. I dont want any drama today. This day i want to remember forever as i am getting you my love.

Swara smiled. Me too..

Daadi and Daadaji is angry on laksh for whatever he said. Now when there only few hours left for marriage,  he is telling he doesnt want ragini and this is his punishment. Daadi want to break every relationship with maheswaries but she was stopped by swara and sanskaar..

Daadi... please for me,  more than that. Think about it,  if there will be another drama take place here how will you look infront of the society?  You will be taunted by saying your both grand daughters life are destroyed. This time we can tell them,  we are already backed away from ragini marriage and no problem with laksh marrying kavya. If we happily accept it,  we have to not face any taunts tomorrow.

Parvati thought about it and looked at daadaji. For both of them their name in the society is everything. Shekhar doesnt know what to do as his both daughters are on two sides. Finally they all decided to make ragini understand the situation and Allow the marriage to happen without any chaos.

Ragini sat on the bed thinking about the past few days. Why?  Why she have this feeling like someone is following her... She decided to tell laksh about it after marriage.

Then she heared the foot steps coming to her room. She looked on and saw maheswaries and gadodiyas..

Her smile widened,  swara... why are you with them? you are too a bride... go and wait on your room. She said and smirked at sanskaar,  Mr. Sanskaar maheswary... Dont follow swara everywere and go and stand downstairs.

He and swara looked at her with guilty face. That is when she noticed her grand parents and parents..  all are silent.  Not at all them maheswaries too. She is starting to ask why?  then her eyes stuck on laksh,  no... not laksh... the hand that is interwined with laksh. She looked at the face and saw a women around her age someone she never saw before.
