Dear Diary,
I had to stop this argument before it got any further as we all know who malti bhabi is really like. I took him outside and was talking to him when Ragini walked towards us asking him his name. I noticed some nervousness on his face when Ragini asked him to tell his name. He tried making excuses but we both felt we had seen him before. I was still thinking when the manager showed up informing me that this waiter didn't work for him. I was shocked; a stranger was at our party. It got me angry, when I asked him about what he was doing in the party when he isn't a waiter, he tried running away but I got a hold of him; I couldn't let him get away like this of course. I had a hold on his face when his fake beard came in my hands. It was Tarun, sakshi's ex boyfriend. What was he doing in the party? Sakshi arrived and tried to explain to Tarun to leave her alone as everything was over between the two. I asked Sakshi if Tarun was the one that sent goons the other day, she nodded. I could've beaten him, but Ragini stopped me. Ragini wanted to call the police, but sakshi stopped us. I somehow don't feel convinced; I don't know why, yet I quietly listened.Tarun was about to leave when he said that he won't annoy her anymore, but still I warned him to stay away from her or else it won't be good for him. Ragini assures Sakshi that everything would be fine and we went inside. Ma ji was making preparations to leave home; they took Sakshi along with them as they wanted to fulfil the wedding rituals. We were going to visit Kaushalya nivas tomorrow anyways, as it was Raksha bandhan.
I was in Tammy's room talking to khushi and tammy, when Ragini walked in asking them to sleep as they had to wake up early, but they wanted ragini to sing them to sleep. I felt Ragini got upset when tammy mentioned about sakshi coming here as khushi's mom and then khushi would spend her time with her. Of course this wasn't the truth; we all lived under one roof. I explained to the kids that they will take turns and perhaps once here and there I can sing them to sleep I was preparing myself to sing when I felt a smile appear on Ragini's gloomy face, just what I wanted. Aalekh bhaiya also came in saying that Ragini sings the best lullaby. Obviously I know I am not much of a singer, yet anything to make bring a smile on Ragini's face.
Ragini was singing the lullaby, but I knew she was upset. My eyes naturally came on her to read her face. She stopped singing when the kids fell asleep. I knew Ragini was crying, she was upset because Khushi may not give Ragini the same importance like she has given her until now. I walked over to her and very softly held on to her arms. I saw those tears that pierced through my heart, I wanted to wipe them, this time nothing stopped me. I couldn't see tears in Ragini's eyes, as I felt her pain. Ragini looked away perhaps fearing that I would see her pain, I am sure she wasn't uncomfortable this time, she was trying to hide her pain from me. I indicated her to smile as I wanted to see her smiling only. She did smile slightly just to convince me, but I knew she was hurt. She watched the kids sleep. I asked her if we should go as it was late, Ragini and I left the room leaving the kids to sleep.
I was sleeping on the couch when I felt someone awake. I opened my eyes to see Ragini, she was all ready. I got up thinking i slept in, but Ragini told me it was 6 am only. I asked her how come she was awake so early. She told me that it was Raksha bandhan today, so she has to go to Kaushalya Niwas. She sat infront of the mirror to get ready, but i quietly gazed at her through the mirror. She was looking gorgeous and fresh. Her skin was glowing. There was a knock on the door, I placed my blanket back on the bed and opened the door. Tammy and khushi had woken up, that too really early. Ragini was surprised to see them up so early aswell. But they had woken up early because they had to go to over to Kaushalya niwas for Rakhsha bandhan.
Ragini was tidying up the room, while I was sitting on the bed with khushi and tammy. The kids showed me their Rakhi's and asked me to choose which one was the best. Of course how could I choose one? Both were the best. So I asked them about Vinu bhaiya's Rakhi. Ragini had bought a simply Rakhi for bhaiya. I just told them kavya's Rakhi was better that Vineet bhaiya's. Ragini explained to the kids that what matters is the love between the brother and sister, not the design of the rakhi and the gifts. It was a happy moment we had. I told the kids to bring some mithai for me aswell and not have it all themselves. Ragini was Happy and so were the kids. What more could I want?
We arrived at the Kaushalya niwas to give Sakshi her neg for the wedding aswell as for Rakhi. Kavya asked too many questions about the money we gave to sakshi and he mentioned that it's always the girls that have the advantage it didn't matter if it was rakhi or the wedding. I agreed. I had to leave for the office. Ma ji aksed me to stay but I couldn't as I had work to do. Anyways I was a son to them, I could come anytime. I looked at Ragini to see if her expressions changed or not, but no she was smiling. I told ma ji to take care of Ragini until I come. I just gazed at her until she looked at me with a smiling face.
Bauji and Vineet bhaiya arrived; I greeted them and left immediately as there was a lot to do for the sangeet this evening. Hope everything goes well tonight.
