I never thought of a story from the point where most of RagSan writers have diverted the story that's when Sanskar's real intentions were discovered by Ragini. All thanks to my friend Nazu who suggested me this and I dedicate this story to her ?
Ragini closed the door and slid down holding her emotions and trying to control from breaking down crying bitterly. Her heart was feeling the pain which she had not felt in her life any time. She bit her hands in the process to kill that cry and sobs which were trying to leave her throat.
Jaane Wafa Hoke Bekarar Maine kiya tera intezar Par kabhi tune nahi yeh tab kaha Jo abb kaha Dil bebasi me chupke se rotha hai...
The seconds just passed not reducing her pain a bit also. She did not realize for what time she sat there blankly. Broken within.
“Lado” she heard her Dadi's voice followed by a knock and wiped her face squeezing those muscles on her cheek. She walked quickly to the washroom to get herself freshened up.
Wiping her face with towel she opened the door. “What took you so long Lado?” Dadi whined entering the room and Ragini just followed her.
Whatever her Dadi told just entered her ears but not the brain. She was looking at the ground and trying to control that flood developing inside her.
Every time her eye lashes fell Sanskar's painful face used to flash in her mind.
“Are you even listening?” her Dadi asked and she looked up at her Dadi. Dadi moved close to Ragini and noticed her swollen eyes.
“Lado. Were you crying? Why are your eyes swollen?” her Dadi asked concerned.
It is rightly said that one question from our loved ones just break us how much ever strong we act.
Ragini collapsed on her Dadi's shoulder. “What happened?” Parvati was worried.

Ragini just buried her head inside her Dadi's embrace. She did not knew how to hold these emotions.
“Maa” she whispered painfully. And it made Parvati's eyes moist. “Maa” she again painfully sobbed. Dadi guessed it that might be Ragini was missing her mother.
“Shhh” Parvati dragged Ragini and tried consoling her. Only if she knew the real reason. “Don't cry Dadi is there na?” Parvati kissed Ragini's forehead and a tear tripped her eye.
“Now get ready fast” Parvati caressed Ragini's cheek lovingly. “Why?” asked Ragini a bit confused.
“Rudr is coming with his parent as Pandit Ji has told he will see the muhurat for marriage today” and those words just made her already broken heart into more pieces.
She just stared her Dadi trying to understand the mortal world around you.
Dadi patted her cheek and walked out and Ragini just collapsed on the ground holding the bed for support. But it wasn't helping. Her heart was sinking repeatedly.
She buried her head and cried silently. That silence pricked her heart walls.
****.**** Rudr and his parent were sitting along with Dadi, Shekar and Sumi. The pandit was looking at the calendar to find the auspicious day. And Ragini was sitting staring the ground.
