Workaholic & His Replaced Bride

25)Confession Audio

Ram passes flowers to Ragini.
Ragana was standing beside Ragini and Ragini passed it to her.
Ragana gave her a look.
Ram:get well soon.
Sanskar was standing there at some distance.
Ram:this shouldn't have happened.
He stretched his lips as if he was grieving for a long times and tried his best to show his condolences.
Ram:I really wish we could have stopped it.
Ragana felt so annoyed and irritated seeing him as if she would puke.
In return Ragini had nothing to say in reply since she really know this was nothing but a drama.
Ram:sanskar's would come in anytime. From early morning she is doing prayers and feeding the poor for safety. I really feel so sad for her because from the time she knew about your condition she was been disturbed and crying on her own. Because keeping our past misunderstanding between us, you are precious to us, you are precious to Sanskar. You are our elder daughter-in-law.
Ragan turned to Sanskar, as much she knew him. He was very quick to capture this but right now did he get really convinced with overacting or better say 5 rupee acting.
Sanskar was silent. While Ragana waited for his interruption which can't go unamusing or humorless.

Mahima entered inside and literally moved to Ragini caressing her head:How are you beta?I really can't say how happy I am to see you back. I am really really glad.
Sanskar was silently watching them and Ragini just looks at her.
Ragana sees him again, he really looked convinced.
Ragini literally felt like if she was stuck in some typical daily soap.
Ragini smiled a bit in return nodding her head.
Mahima tied a thread on Ragini's wrist :this will protect you from all the evil. Dekh na tum Pehle jaise theek ho jaogi.
Herself:I wish you just get bedridden.
Ragana:yes aunty.. She will be okay like before. In fact stronger and smarter than before. Isn't it jeeja ji?
Sanskar:mom dad..
Both looks at him.
Sanskar:Visiting time is over. I think you should go back home. Let me drop you till the car.
.

.
.
He opens the car door for his mother.
Mahima:Sanskar you look so pale. You should get some rest son.
She waited him to reply. But he continued being silent.
Ram:Sanskar have meals on time.
Mahima :Sanskar why are you silent?
Sanskar :I am very tired. You guys should go back.
He moves inside.

*****************************************

Ragini looks at her physiotherapist,Parth.who just passed her a smile with a quick blinking of his eyes.
He was literally helping her bending her legs. Sanskar was standing there reading her new reports which had lots of improvements. In between watches parth. Who making her to some slight exercise.
Ragini stares at Sanskar after seeing Parth who was writing something on the file.
She smiled automatically watching Sanskar.
Sanskar gets a calls and he moved out.
While Ragini who leaning on to the bed literally moved sitting straight following him.
Parth laughs.
She looks at him:what?
Parth:sorry.
Ragini:tell me if there is a joke.
Though she was embrassed but still portrayed her strong image.
Parth:sorry.

Later..

Vikas :boss it's been few days I think your laptop, files, presentation, office and meeting are missing you I think.
Sanskar passed him a look while looking over a project file which Vikas got.
Vikas:ahm. I was saying there are lot of pending works.
Sanskar signs on the file and passes to him:and the important one is firing you.
He moves. While vikas followed him:boss I didn't mean it. I was making mood.
Sanskar smiles nodding his head as he stepped inside the room.
Ragini sees him smiling and herself:he looks so handsome while smiling.
Her heart really fluttered and she could feel the goosebumps all over her body..

Sanskar:would you like to eat something special today. As doctor took up the restriction of foods.
Ragini nods.
Sanskar:what?
Ragini:why you so handsome mahn...
Sanskar:huh?

She realised what she told.. And she sees vikas behind him:vikas. You are really handsome I mean it.
Vikas:what really?
Ragini nods like a kid.
Sanskar just looks on:tell vikas whatever you want?
He moves out muttering:since he is so handsome.

Vikas moves in sits pulling out the chair:you really think I am handsome.
Ragini bends a bit to see Sanskar whom she could see through window moving away:of course.

After sometime..
Ragini was eating pastry.
Ragana:you need to learn manners.
Ragana plays the recording button in the phone
Ragini:what?
Ragana:that freaking dude is doing everything he could for you but you seem untouched. Better say ungrateful.
Ragini was silent for a moment:it's not that I am ungrateful.
Ragana:I am sure if you tell him you started to feel for him than he would be really very happy.
Ragini:but how can I? After disrespecting him so many times. If I tell him this then I would really be a gold digger. I don't want to fall low in front of him. Look at my misery, I ditched him so many times that I am ashamed now to face him. I can't even tell him that I really like him. That I don't bother to see anything or anyone if he is near me.
Ragana controls her smile:you should at least try...
Ragini:I don't want to..
Ragana :so you gonna hang him for a long time.
Ragini:no.. I think I should just leave before any unusual things happen.
Ragana plays the audio:before you leave let me send this to Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari.
Ragini looks on and she heard her words.
Ragini tries to grab the phone from her.
Ragana plays with her since she can't stand.
Ragana laughs:ab aayega na maza

Ragini:I was just being serious but I think I trusted you..
Ragana just laughs:okay sent.. Now he will see...
She literally ran out.
Ragini shouts:Ragana...
And she winced and tries to hold her back:arghh... What will I do now..?
She cries:I can't even runaway.
She pulls the bed sheet covering from head to toe.

Sanskar was having a small meeting near his car with his team.
Sanskar:you guys can go on with the project. Harsh you can take the lead.
While they nods:if you need anything go to Vikas anytime.
Vikas nods:and about Texas project boss? It's been delayed for too long now.
Sanskar thinks for sometime:you do it.
Vikas:huh? Me?
Sanskar:yeah.. Any other doubts?
All nods in no.
He moves.

He stops seeing Ragana.
She smiles.
While he gets confused.
Ragana:okay I heard Ragini would be discharged within 2 days.
Sanskar :yeah..
Ragana:I will take her with me.. Okay. Done. Bye.
She literally ran to her car.
While Sanskar looks on. She didn't give a chance for him to speak.
He moves in taking up his phone.
He sees the text from unknown number(Ragana)
It was the audio and 3 heart emoji in it.
He moves to room ignoring it. He thought it to be some spam.

Ragini sees him. She was really embarrassed.
But seeing him it didn't seem he heard it.
Ragini:umm... Did vikas go?
Sanskar looks on. He left out a breath:yes.. Should I call him?
Ragini:no no..
She sees him looking over his phone.
Ragini:can you please give me your phone. Just a moment.
Sanskar looks on. And he forwards it to her.
She smiles and was about to grab it.. His phone rings.
Sanskar:uh.. 2 minutes..
He receives the call. While she got worried.

And office colleagues just came there to visit Ragini and he literally forgot her asking his phone.

Later he placed dinner for her.
Ragini:your phone..
Sanskar:ah..
He takes out his phone and sees battery dead.
Sanskar:I think I forgot to charge.
He plugs it to the charger.
Sanskar:anything important.
She nods in no. And continues to eat her dinner:you too eat.
He found her sad:what happened? Any discomfort? You can tell me.
Ragini:no I am just tired sitting inside this hospital room.

After charging his phone for 10 minutes. He gives her phone.
She sends the audio to her number and then deletes it.
And herself:why did she send heart?

Sanskar:what's so important you wanna look on my phone?
Ragini current affairs news. I literally exhausted my data.
Sanskar smiles:you know here you have wifi service.
Ragini:oh oh.. Yeah I forgot about it.
Sanskar:yup it seems like if you wanna see if I have affair than current affairs.
She felt like eating a sour lemon.
Sanskar :chill.. I was joking.

To be continued.....
