Humsafar (On Hold)

Yeh dooriyan

Ragini's home....

"Ragini... Ragini...."

Ragini came outside her room and got irked seeing Lakshya.

"Why the hell are you shouting?"

"Where is my daughter?"

He clutched Ragini from her shoulder.

"How dare you keep my daughter away from me all these years? I was unknown to the fact that I have a daughter for five freaking years. Now when I have met her, she is in such a bad condition."

"Mera bas chalta to main tumhe kabhi uske paas ane hi nahi deti."

Lakshya released her from his hold in a jerk and she was about to fall.

"Hey. Behave Mr. Maheshwari. She is the mother of your daughter... for God's sake!!!"

"This is our personal matter. Just stay out of it."

"Just leave it Siddhant. He won't understand. He never understood."

Just then Aradhya came running in the hallway. Anushka came chasing her.

"Aru... Aru... Wait. Just finish your lunch first then we would go out."

She spots Lakshya and stops.

"Aradhya come with me. You are going to go to your father's house."

Lakshya held Aradhya's hand.

"Okay, papa."

She held Ragini's hand.

"Come, mumma. We have to go to papa's house."

"My daughter won't leave without me. She will stay with me."

Lakshya came near Ragini.

"I can't come again and again to your house for Aradhya. She is my responsibility now. So it would be better if she stays at my house. If you are really concerned about our daughter's health then it shouldn't be a problem for you. You can come with us but only for Aradhya."

Ragini nodded.

"I'll just pack some of our clothes."

"There's no need. We can buy new ones."

"Papa. So we would go shopping?"

"Yes, beta."

Lakshya makes Aradhya sit on the front seat in the car while he sits on the driver's seat. Ragini was bidding adieu to Anushka and Siddhant. Lakshya was waiting for Ragini.

"Ragini, take care of yourself. And please don't get angry on Lakshya. He has come for Aradhya. Just once try to..."

"Ragini, just stay away from Lakshya. From what I saw today, he has accumulated so much hatred for you. Take care of yourself."

Ragini went and sat on the back seat in the car. Anushka gave an angry look to Siddhant.

"Siddhant, why did you say that to her? Amidst all these misunderstandings, I know that their love will find its way. I have seen love for each other in their eyes. People have tried very hard to separate them but still their heart beats for each other."

Siddhant smiles.

"Anushka, you are always like this. Finding love in the most difficult situations."

"Mumma. Come and sit besides papa. I have seen that everyone's mumma and papa always sit at front in the car."

Lakshya sees at Ragini through the rear view mirror and Raglak have an eyelock. Ragini comes and sits in the front seat and makes Aradhya sit on her lap.

Maheshwari Mansion....

Lakshya, Ragini and Aradhya enter the hallway. Swara is the first one to spot them.

"Sanskar.... Ragini..."

Sanskar turned to look at Swara and then spotted Raglak. She rushed through the stairs. Sanskar held her from her shoulders.

"Swara, sambhal ke. You are pregnant. Tum baar baar kyun bhul jati ho?"

She came near Ragini.

"Ragini. What are you and Aradhya doing here?"

"Swara, aren't you happy to see your sister?"

"Lakshya. I'm not at all happy to see my sister and my niece with you."

"You knew about them? You knew about Aradhya? You knew that I have a daughter?"

"Yes, Lucky. We knew."

"Kaisi behen ho...." Lakshya was shouting at Swara.

"Papa. Please don't scold Maasi and Chachu."

Lakshya looked at the frightened face of his daughter and he forgot all his anger. He smiled at her.

"Come, Aradhya. I'll show you the garden. We can play there."

Aradhya got excited. Lakshya lifted her in his hands and took her outside the house.
