Jeene Ki Tammanah Hai

EP - 58 - Promises

"Whose idea was this?? " Sujatha Maa pretended to be calm.

All of them pointed  at Ragini, mercilessly. 

Sujatha slowly  took her steps towards Ragini and Sanskar,  who stood guilty, bowing their head down. The groom Gang tried to maintain their composure, but they were miserably  failing to do so.Ram and Annapurna were laughing continuously. It was a semi judgement day in Sanskar's bedroom.

Sujatha caught Ragini's and Sanskar's ear and twisted.Both of them screamed in pain.

"How dare you people play such a prank?" Sujatha twisted more with each word. " What would have happened  if someone else found out about Sanskar being in the function".

Apparently, Sujatha noticed a mehendi wali wearing Ragini's saree and clicked up a doubt in her mind.Her doubt turned into reality when she saw Sanskar's shoe under the saree. Sujatha panicked and tried her best to end the function as soon as possible. Sujatha shuddered thinking about her position and the consequences if Sanskar was caught  by elders.

"Maa….it was not my mistake" Ragini tried to clean her hands. "This guy was over acting".

"Arrey wah Raghu Rani….Now I am the culprit ! ". Sanskar tried to defend himself….."You are the one who gave me the saree and encouraged  an innocent soul like me to commit such a heinous crime"

"Oh really…" Ragini shot back. "Who was whining  like a kid… Maa..I want to see Swara… I want to attend the function…. And all Haa…. Who in the world would wear the saree above ankle and expose their canvas shoes? ….leave it...who the fool would wear canvas under saree? ...i wonder who gave you the medical degree without basic common sense."

"Shut it...both of you." Sujatha screamed  at Ragini and Sanskar. Sanskar tried to open his mouth in defense, but stopped himself,  fearing Sujatha's outburst.

"Is that the problem here,  Ragini…?? "Sujatha questioned. "As in how bad was Sanskar  to cover up his crime??... i am talking about how this act of yours would have resulted,  if Swara's parents or your grandparents  would have seen Sanskar in the function???.... and above all that, rituals also matter ….i told you both that Sanskaar shouldn't see Swara till tomorrow  night at mandap!". 

Ragini shook her head in defence.. " Don't worry about that Maa...Sanky din't lift his veil...so they both din't see each others face.." Ragini said innocently, to which Sanskar nodded in agreement. Sujatha slapped her forehead in defeat.

" Haa..Mausi...you have to give him a thumbs up for that…." Kunal came in support. "He followed your rules  that diligently…he even kissed Swara with the veil on...Hain Na Sanskar.? "

Sujatha  covered her mouth in shock.Sanskar was petrified with the revelation. Except Kunal,  who was trying to grasp the vivid expressions given to his statement, Rest of the gang burst into laughter.Amrita comically  closed Aarti and Pinky's ears.

"Yaar Kunal….." Laksh buried his face on Kunal's shoulders and continued  laughing. " You are a legend".

Sanskar picked up a pillow and threw it on Kunal's face.

"Kya yaar Sanskar!" Kunal was taken aback  by Sanskar's action. "I was helping you".

"This is how you help me…Saale.." Sanskar chased Kunal around his bed. " You are not a Don...You are a Donkey"

"Sujatha….Your son is your carbon Copy". Ramprasad said..

" Haan Ram..Do you remember  how Sujji came to your bedroom to see you two days before marriage..? " Annapurana said, giggling. Little did she know that couple of young gazes were glueing up on them
