Prologue :
Swara Bose walked aimless on the road with no clear destination, her mind was filled with the event that transpired few minutes ago . The fact she was betrayed once again by some one she trusted made her question everything.
When she woke up in a hospital a month ago after being in coma for two weeks, with no memory on how she got there, she panicked until Sahil the person who saved her explained to her that she was washed away from a river near his house .
The doctors had explained to her that she must have fallen from a cliff and got hurt, they believed she tried to take her life but when she couldn't remember how she fell ,they ran few more tests and told her she has forgotten some of her recent memories on further test they concluded she lost about a year worth of memories.
The doctors advised two days of bed rest before travelling back to her home and Swara had no choice but to accept the orders . And later that night she woke up with a fragment of memory , and saw the face of the man who fired his gun pointed towards her .
When she reached home she realized her life had been turned upside down during the one year as her mom was married to her neighbour and she gained herself a sister , she was happy for her mom and delighted about her few family until she saw him again the man who tried to kill her .
When she screamed he was the one who tried to kill her ,no one believed her. Not even her mom and they all said it was because she lost her memory . And she found the real reason few days later when she stumbled upon their marriage photo and just like that her life fell apart .
Her family were on his side. She knew he tried to kill her but they refused to believe her ,claimed that he loved her .
Every day of her life felt like a year after that, Until she met him , Kissan the man who made her laugh . She trusted him way too much and today she found out he was her husband disguising himself as someone else. In the shock she slapped him and walked away not willing to trust anyone else.
She walked and walked aimlessly on the buzzing road. She ignored the calls from her sister and her best friend Sahil continuously. She was not in the mind frame to answer their calls.
She forgot memories not because she wanted too but everyone is playing games with her because of that. She couldn't trust anyone and no one seems to be on her side except Sahil the man who saved her life .
She trusted Kissan , how can she except that behind that innocent mask was Sanskar her husband,the guy who tried to kill her. She had enough of games and betrayals from everyone.
She stopped on her tracks and wiped her tears, finally made up her mind on what to do next and changed direction and walked to her destination.
_____________________________________________________________
Sanskar Maheshwari stood rooted on the very same spot, the world seemed to be slipping away from his grasp. He tried everything to make her understand that he didnt kill her, he even went as far to disguise himself to the person called Kissan so that he can be near her and make her trust him enough that she wont think of him as her killer.
But even that plan failed miserably today and his wife the love of his life had just declared she wants divorce and walked off. The word divorce brought back so many painful memories. Just when he thought he will never have to hear the cruel word there it was staring right back at his face. He felt so lost at the moment.
But if there is one thing Sanskar Maheshwari wont do is give up. And he will definitely not give up on his wife . He knew he have to act fast before he loses her completely. It took him few minutes to come up with another plan and he hoped it will work this time and he walked towards his destination.
Swara entered his house , her mind replayed how she was forced to stay in his house, her sister married his cousin and since she was pregnant she asked Swara to stay with her ,she couldn't ignore her sister request hence agreed to stay in his house .
But he kept invading her privacy that she lashed back at him, which in turn made him leave the house so she could stay, her heart felt bad about it till an hour. He didn't leave her in peace like she believed just disguised himself and kept intruding on her life , Which brought in the anger back again .
It was because of that Swara decided she can no longer stay in his house , she politely informed everyone in that house about what happened and why she wont be staying in this house anymore.
She waited for everyone reactions once she finished telling the entire incident. From the look of Sujatha Aunty face who was Sanskar Mom,it seemed she was angry that she slapped her son, Ragini her sister was crying, Lakshya Ragini's husband looked like he knew about this beforehand and Pari the eldest daughter in law looked like she hated the very fact she was still in that house.
Swara couldn't seem to dechiper anyone else thoughts as their faces didnt have any reactions. Then Durga Prasad Maheshwari,Lakshya's father spoke up
" Swara beta , i ask your forgiveness for my son Sanskar, He should not have done that. And i understand your decision but remember this house is always open for you . As you will always be Beti of this house" the voice of Durga Prasad Maheshwari echoed in the house .
And Swara felt like she had heard it before. But now is not the time to dwell on it, he said it okay to leave and so she left before he comes back.
Then she found Ragini's husband on a call ,and she realized he was talking to Sanskar. Her sister followed her back to the room intent on changing her mind .
Swara packed as fast as she could , hoping to leave soon . All the awhile trying to ignore her sister constant request to change her decision, she didnt like hurting her but she cant live there anymore.
" Swara trust me, i didnt know Kissan is Sanskar. Believe me i had no idea about it. Please dont go I need you here with me " her sister voice made her waver for a second but she couldnt do it. She won't be played by everyone because she doesn't remember
" I know Ragini, ofcourse that guy wont tell you about his evil plan after all he knows you are my sister. But no i cant stay here any longer. " Swara answered back trying to calm her sister down .
" My bhai didnt tell Ragini because she was your sister , he didnt want you to get hurt by the fact your sister hid it from you. I know you don't have your memory Swara.
But please before knowing everything dont assume my bhai was wrong. He did it just to make you trust him ,so you wont think of him as a murderer ,he was going to reveal everything by himself soon ."Lakshya spoke up in defence of his cousin . Swara also noticed her sister glaring at her husband for keeping it from her .
" You can keep believing your Bhai is innocent but dont expect me too. I clearly remember him pulling the trigger at me, After the way he betrayed me by acting as kissan. He will be the last person i will ever trust in the world" Swara spoke up and with that statement she walked out of the house.
Leaving behind her sister who was crying in her husband's arms. She reached her home ,the place she is familiar with.
She walked straight upto dida house but then remembered she doesn't live there anymore as her mom moved after her marriage . She was about to walk to her new house when she found a hand on her shoulder.
She turned back to look at the owner of the hand and found it to be Sahil. He seemed to have been worried about her, hence waited outside her house as she didnt answer her call.
She apologized for not trusting him when he had told her how Kissan and Sanskar were one and the same few days ago and he seemed to be gracious enough to forgive her.
" Can you come with me for awhile, i need to show you something" Sahil asked her.
Swara was too tired so she denied his request and tried to postpone it . But he kept insisting that it will only take a hour that she agreed after all the guy did save her life
She was about to leave with him when she heard a singing voice from her dida house, not just any singing voice but the voice of Kissan.
Nope not Kissan ,Sanskar her mind corrected. All plans was forgotten. She rushed and walked into Didi house to find Sanskar not looking anything like Kissan she was very familiar with, he was back to his real self with no disguises .
With out his long hair and the colorful dress he looked like Sanskar the man who haunts her dreams and she wondered how such small alteration made her believe he was different person .
It was because the man before her was confident with himself while kissan felt like the total opposite and she noticed that fact he was seated on her couch as if he owned the house and was playing his guitar while singing a soft tune that pulled her towards him .
She wanted it to be an hallucination. But from the look of pure hatred on Sahil face. It seemed to be real and swara knew the fight was for from over . She will not relent she promised herself as she stepped inside the house to face him .
" What are you still doing here ?" Swara screamed at him ,granted in her naivety she let Kissan stay here but after what happened she was furious that be still was staying in her dida house .
" I was waiting you and I am here to offer you a deal , Divorce from me with no condition except one " Sanskar answered back and saw the words registered in her mind and Sanskar fervently hoped his plan would work because losing her was not an option
