SOULMATES
He's datasaaangg
"Hey baby.. We're going to yuks' mom.. Ayoo" the man was busy carrying and joking with the child.
"Hey lady, what'd you like to name her?"
"Spirit"
"Hmm not bad"
"Spirit.. Your mother gave you Rohit's name, do you like him, baby?"
The baby laughed and smiled.
"Look at her lady, she smiled that means she likes the name"
Ragini nodded.
"You look like Rohit" Ragini said.
This time the man immediately turned his head, the smile on his lips suddenly disappeared.
"Spirit? So Rohit's not the name for this baby? That's what you're saying because you think of me as Rohit?"
Ragini nodded.
"Yes.. You look like Rohit, but it doesn't matter if I give that name to my son"
The man was still staring in disbelief.
"Thank you for helping me"
The man smiled very sweetly.
"Hm.. I can't bear to let you cross the road like that, I'm sorry for accidentally pushing your body to make you startle and then faint"
Ragini frowned, trying to remember the incident.
"It wasn't your fault"
"Oh yes.. Where's husband? I forgot to tell him that his hero was born"
The man pulled his cell phone out of his pants pocket.
"Say! What's his cell phone number, let me call him"
Ragini was still silent, she turned her eyes instead. His tears suddenly flowed, he controlled his emotions due to the tightness inside his chest.
"Hey.. What's wrong, miss? Didn't you memorize your husband's cell number?"
The man asked again with his pitying face.
Ragini turned her head, she shook her head. The man raised his eyebrows because he did not understand Ragini's intentions.
"I don't have a husband" she said slowly.
The man did not expect, he immediately approached Ragini and patted her shoulder slowly.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't know it"
Ragini nodded.
"You're separated?" tanyanya.
"Yes.. The god separated me from him until we were separated by a different world"
"World different? Holy shit"
Ragini smiled stiffly.
"Here give me my son"
Ragini stretched out her hand, the man slowly moved the baby he needed back to his mother's side.
Ragini kissed her little whiz, the baby smiled and laughed. Ragini smiled bitterly, because her baby was very similar to Laksh.
"Where are you staying, miss?"
"On Baadi.."
"God! You two live in Baadi? Can't! That's your baby's squalid neighborhood, why don't you just stay in a decent house? Did your husband not leave your house or any possessions? Uppss sorry if I'm sassy"
Ragini just smiled.
"I just want to be independent and work on my own ability"
The man smiled.
"Master.. You haven't taken care of his administration" said a nurse who had just come to them.
The man patted his forehead.
"God! Sorry sister, I forgot. Alright.. I'll take care of it soon"
But when the man wanted to step outside, he came back to Ragini.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"I'm Ratan" he said confidently, raising one eyebrow.
Ragini held back her laughter.
"God.. You didn't even ask me my name but I confidently introduced my name, ckck"
Ragini just chuckled.
Ratan's eyes turned to the tiny baby in Ragini's arms.
"Little baby.. Uncle stay a while, bye bye" he whispered slowly.
Ratan left Ragini to administer his administration. Ragini stared at Ratan's back slowly away.
"After I tried as hard as I could to forget you, but God sent back the exact face of you Rohit, why is God so happy to play with my destiny?"
Ragini closed her eyes, she turned her head back towards her little baby who had fallen asleep comfortably.
"Your baby has been born Laksh, your son has been born, you take it easy I will keep my promise to keep your son"
***
Laksh who was asleep suddenly woke up. Wiping his face and squeezing his head hair. His eyes were still fixed on Ragini's silk mangal necklace wrapped around her wrist.
"Where are you Ragini? Have you given birth to my son? I miss you so much" he said slowly.
Laksh stared up at the ceiling of his sewage cell. She looked at him softly, she was really suffering because the Gods had always made her suffer.
"There's a letter for you, Laksh" said one warden loudly.
The warden gave a letter to Laksh through the iron bars. Laksh.
He slowly started opening it.
"Who is this from?" muttered.
"Ragini" he said slowly.
Laksh developed a smile on his lips as he read the name of the sender.
"Finally after all this time you sent me a letter"
Laksh slowly opened a letter from his ex-wife.
"Hey Laksh.. How are you doing? I'm sorry if I haven't been there all this time, I don't know why it's still so hard for me to meet you. Because every time I see you, I seem to remember Rohit's body lying stiff. I lost my love, because of you. And I can't accept any of that. I'm really angry and hate you so much because you didn't say it in the beginning, you chose to shut up and marry me but you're hiding a big secret that hurts me so much, forget it's Laksh. What I want to talk about right now is.. Yes Laksh.. I gave birth to your son, yesterday I gave birth to him. Fortunately there was a man who was willing to help me that time. You know Laksh he helped me and paid for your son's entire delivery. He's a very handsome boy, I can't deny he does look a lot like you. His face really inherits your handsome face, but I hope his attitude and nature are different. I don't want my son to grow up to be a killer like you, he's been in my womb for long enough and I won't let him know who his real father is. I don't want him to be sad when he finds out his real father was a convicted murderer and a criminal. I don't want him insulted by his friends later. So I'm sorry if I'll tell him that his father is a dead Rohit, not you. I made a decision and it was right for me. And you know Laksh.. The man who helped me was very similar in face to Ratan, as if they were twins. I'm sure God deliberately presented him in my life to take Rohit's place. God is so good to me and to you I hope God will also give you happiness later, this I give you a photo of your little hero, I hope he can be your encouragement in serving the punishment for what you have done. Don't you ever look for me and my son again when you're free. I don't want your dark past to have a bad impact on the development of Rohit, my son. Yes I gave him the name Rohit, it was purposely done to remember the people I love so much. I hope you understand Laksh"
Ragini's...
Laksh dropped himself, he held his tight hold while reading the contents of the letter written by Ragini. Really shone his life.
"Why Gods? Why don't you give me happiness? Why?"
Laksh shouted and continued to cry.
She then looked at the photo of her petite hotshot, she smiled and kissed the photo.
"You're so handsome, son. Please take care of your mother"
Laksh hugged the photo of his son tightly, his heart feeling very sore.
His life was really dark.
***
"You just come back to my house" Ratan said as he helped Ragini pack up to get home from the hospital.
Ragini furrowed her brows.
"You take it easy Ragini, I still have a mother and a sister. You don't have to think about it, I'll explain it to them"
Ragini was still silent and unmoved.
"What's Ragini? What are you thinking?"
Ragini shook her head quickly.
"Are you sure that your mother and sister can accept me and my son living in your house?"
Ratan touched Ragini's shoulder.
"You take it easy, rather than you living in such a shabby neighborhood you better come with me, ayoo"
Ratan pulls Ragini's arm. Ragini looked at Ratan's hand and pulled his arm.
"Sorry.. I'm sorry"
Ragini smiled, and Ratan smiled as she saw Ragini smiling.
'Why do I feel that if my love comes back, through Ratan I can see the smile that I so long for, what does all this mean Rohit? Did you intentionally tell God to send Ratan to take care of me?' inner Ragini.
Ragini was still smiling looking at Ratan who was joking with the tiny baby.
