Laksh and sanskaar sat on the park bench looking at the sea. Both didnt talked and on their own thought.

Its been 1 month since ragini left and everything was changed in their life. Their parents were not the same any more,  A painful silence  always lingered around all of them. Adarsh bhaiyya was very strict, not like before,  he never been like this in the past and always supported them. Now he is not the same person, he made it clear that for him their parents is more important.

Laksh and sanskaar have no more time to spend as they will go to the office at morning. Its getting on their head sometimes, Paapa and chachaji shout on them when they do the same mistake again and again. They are behaving like both are their workers. Not at all them and adarsh bhaiyya,  The higher level staff of company are also very strict. It was  their parents who ordered them to do like that.

Sanskaar and swara have this guilty feelings surrounded them whenever they reminish the past... Both have insecure feelings,  they got everything and for that they made ragini a scape goat. Now after these many days ragini doesnt contacted them,  its like she forgot them completely.
The behaviour of daadi and daadaji were another reason.
When they first time go to baadi after 1 week of marriage,  its not the same. Daadi and daadaji not even greeted them instead silently gone inside their room.
Swara tried to talk but they are silent. Sanskaar know whatever their behaviour he cant blame because for them ragini is everything and no one can take her place.

Laksh didnt got the peace he wanted by sitting in the bench. He always blamed ragini for everything and now she is not there,  still he is not happy. Why?  He himself chosed kavya only to avenge ragini. Now everything were over and he didnt even got any happiness. His heart is not ready to accept kavya,  he dont even want to.spend time with her and somewere he know the work is helping him to escape from her. Kavya is not like ragini,  she didnt even care he came home on time. She doesnt care about anything related to him from dress to food.
When ragini was there,  whatever happened shd always prepared everything for him,  always waited for him to come.  He thought she will return mm like old time and waited days,  the truth is laksh maheswary is habituated with her. If its hate or love his world was surrounded with her. Everything is over and he know this time she will not return...

Laksh... Do you regret whatever you did to ragini in the past?  Sanskaar asked.

Why should i?  She was the one destroyed all of us and we all should be happy that she is gone.  I hope she will not return back.Laksh said,  his ego is not allowing him to accept the wrongs he done.

Sanskaar smiled. No laksh,  i regret whatever i done with her. Now i can understand her much more. She was right,   we all used her for our own benefit,  the truth was we know whatever we do she will be there and we used her weekness. Now it's over. She will not going to return this time,  ragini got a family who deserves her and i think she will also find a man there who love her unconditionally.

Laksh didnt replied and somewere it hurted him hearing that ragini loving someone else.........

Swara watched her parents whose silents made her uncomfortable. What is happening in their relationship,  she thought.

Sharmishta is sad and angry at the same time. Shekhar is not the same as before, he didnt talk much and always angry. She know what bothering him and it made her more irritated. She lost her patience and shouted,  shekhar.... what is your problem?  Why are you behaving like this and please tell me what wrong i did.

Shekhar sighed sharmishta.. please give me some peace..

Peace... i really know what is your problem,  you are hurt hearing janaki have another love! you are hurt hearing she was in love with another man all her life and you are nothing to janaki! Isnt it shekhar?  Why?  Why are you hurt when the women you loved was me.
