Thank u very much tournesol for this sweet cover page.
Rishab Luthra is walking along with his grand mother Bani Luthra to a temple.
Rishab:Dadi,you are getting tired by walking.Then why did you insist to take you to a distant temple?Travelling is so tiring for you.
Bani:It gives me happiness beta.You people go to various countries and enjoy.Then why can't I go to different temples to pray?
Rishab:Ok Dadi.I understood what you meant.
Rishab and Bani prayed in the temple.Suddenly their eyes fell on an old lady.Bani's face blossomed and walked towards her.
Rishab:Dadi...where are you going?
Rishab walked behind her.
Bani called that old lady happily:Vijaya!
Vijaya looked at her.
Vijaya was surprised:Bani!
They hugged each other.
Rishab:Vijaya dadi!
Bani:Exactly.My school friend Vijaya.We were neighbours once.Remember ..you used to play with her grand daughter Swastika.
Rishab:I remember Dadi.
Vijaya:This is...
Bani:This is Rishab.
Vijaya was surprised:Rishab!You have grown so big.
Rishab smiled.
Bani:Vijaya...have you come here alone?
Vijaya:No,Swastika is there with me.
Rishab's face blossomed.
Vijaya:I have only Swastika now.In an accident I lost my daughter and son in law.
Rishab and Bani were shocked.They became upset.
Bani:Destiny is so tragic sometimes.
Swastika came there with prasad.
Swastika:Nani...I brought prasad.
Bani and Rishab smiled at Swastika.
Vijaya:I will have prasad beta.First you see who they are.
Swastika looked at Bani and Rishab.
Swastika:Is this Bani dadi?
Bani:Exactly.You remembered me.Do you remember the boy who is standing next to me?
Swastika looked at Rishab.
Swastika remembered how she used to play with Rishab in childhood.She remembered little Rishab's spectacles.
She smiled and said:Seeing the spectacles,I understood that he is Rishab.
Rishab smiled:Small chashmish!
Swastika smiled:Big chashmish!
Bani and Vijaya laughed.
Vijaya:You both are still calling each other Chashmish.
Rishab:During childhood days we both called each other Chashmish because of the glasses we were wearing.Since she was smaller than me,I called her small chashmish.
Swastika:Since he was bigger than me,I called him big chashmish.
They smiled.
Rishab remembered Swastika's childhood look.
Rishab:Swastika is still wearing pink framed spectacles like she used to wear in childhood.
Swastika smiled.
Swastika:We can share and have prasad.
Swastika shared the prasad with them.
Bani and Vijaya were chatting.
Rishab:I feel happy to see you after a long time.
Swastika smiled:Me too Rishab.
Rishab:Did you ever think of me in these years?
She smiled.
Swastika:Did you think of me?
Rishab:Yes.I used to think of our childhood days.
Swastika:I also think of those days.
They smiled sweetly at each other.
Swastika:Those days were the best days of my life.I had everyone.But after that I lost good friends like you,Karan,Krithika and my parents also.
Swastika became very emotional.
Rishab became upset.
Rishab:Please try to forget the past and live happily.
Swastika:When I am scared about my present and future,how can I live happily?
Rishab:Why are you scared of your present and future?
Swastika:Leave it Rishab.I don't want to think of it and spoil the present moment.
Rishab:Ok.
Rishab thought:Is Swastika hiding something from me?
They stayed in the temple lodge.
The next day early morning they attended the temple puja.
Suddenly Swastika was shocked to see a person in the crowd.She ran towards Vijaya and hugged her.
Swastika:Nani...he has come here.He had traced us.I am scared.
Vijaya was shocked.
Rishab:Who are you scared of Swastika?
Vijaya:Prithvi.He is Swastika's stalker.He is obsessed with her.When Swastika rejected his marriage proposal,he began to trouble us.We complained to the police.But since he is rich,the police also did not take any action against him.Actually we came here to hide from him...to escape from him.He is a real terror.He gave us sleepless nights.But it seems that here also he came.
Rishab and Bani were shocked.
Swastika:He will go back taking me.
Vijaya became upset.
Vijaya saw Prithvi coming and got scared.
Vijaya:You hide somewhere Swastika.
Swastika ran and hid somewhere else.Suddenly she heard a laughter.She turned back and got shocked to see Prithvi.She got scared.
Prithvi:You thought that you can escape from me if you run away from your home town?That will never happen baby.My eyes will be always on you.I will always follow you.
Swastika got scared.
Swastika:Why are you doing this Prithvi?
Prithvi:You know why.Because I love you baby.I want you.
Swastika:This is not love.This is only your stubbornness to get me.
Prithvi:For me,this is love.So I want you.I will leave only with you.Don't try to stop me.
Swastika:No...
Prithvi:Yes baby..
Prithvi held her hand.Suddenly he was pushed down by someone.It was Rishab.Prithvi was shocked.
Rishab:She told you to leave her.So leave her.
Prithvi:Who are you to order me?I will not leave her.
Prithvi got up and held Swastika's hand.Rishab pushed him again and started beating him.
Rishab:I told you to leave her.But you can't obey me.So now even I can't leave you.
Rishab punched him a lot.
Police men came.
Police:What's happening here?Why are you punching him?
Swastika:Sir...this man was trying to abduct me.He punched him to save me.
The Sub Inspector pulled Prithvi up.
Police:Are you not ashamed to do this to a woman in a sacred place like a temple?
Rishab stared at Prithvi:This is not your home town.So you won't be able to buy Police with money and power.
Prithvi was silent.
The police men dragged him out of the temple.Bani and Vijaya were relieved.
Swastika:Thank you Rishab for saving me.
Rishab:We are friends.Then why are you thanking me?
Swastika smiled.
They returned to their respective lodge rooms.
Vijaya looked at Swastika and said:I am still worried for my Swastika.
Vijaya:I am scared whether Prithvi will come back.He is not someone who will accept his defeat.
Bani:Then you both come to our house.
Rishab:Yes.You both will be safe in our house.Prithvi won't be able to trace us.
Vijaya:But...
Bani:No buts.You both are coming and staying with us in the Luthra house.
Vjaya:Ok.We will come with you.
They smiled.
They reached the Luthra house.Karan,Krithika(Karan Rishab's sister),Mahesh-Rakhi(Bani's son and wife.They are Karan,Rishab and Krithika's parents) were surprised to see Bani and Swastika.
Krithika and Karan were excited.
Karan:Swastika,do you remember us?Though Krithika and I were also your friends,Rishab was your closest friend.So you remember only him?
Krithika:We were a gang.You can't forget us Swastika.
Swastika:I remember everyone and everything.I remember this area also.For some years I had stayed in the next house.
They smiled.
Vijaya:But it's sad that after we sold our house,the house got reconstructed and made into a shop.
Rakhi:By the way,how did you all meet each other?
Bani and Rishab explained everything.All were shocked.
Mahesh:Don't worry.You both can stay here.
They smiled.Karan's wife Preeta came.
Karan:This is my sweet heart...my wife Preeta.
Karan:Preeta...this is Swastika;our childhood friend and this is her Nani..Bani Nani.
Preeta:Ji Namaste!
Swastika thought:Karan is married.Is Rishab also married?
Swastika put the luggage in the room.Rishab came there.
Rishab:You can consider this as your own home.Be free and relaxed.
Swastika:This is a house where I played a lot with you.I have always considered this as my home.
Rishab smiled.
Rishab:But still you look scared and gloomy.
Swastika:I don't know why...I still feel insecure and scared.
Rishab:That day when you said that you were scared of present and future,I did not understand anything.But later I realized that you said like that because of Prithvi.Prithvi has gone away from your life.So you don't have to worry about your present and future.
Swastika:But still Prithvi is haunting me.
Rishab held her hand and said:You don't need to be scared Swastika.Your best friend Rishab is there with you.I assure you that I will protect you.
Swastika looked at him emotionally.
She thought:Rishab is still the same.I got my friend back.
Swastika:Thank you Rishab for supporting me.I missed this friendship.
She embraced him emotionally.Rishab caressed her emotionally.
Rishab,Karan,Krithika and Karan enjoyed a lot.
A car reached the compound of the Luthra house.A girl came out of the car.She ran towards Rishab and embraced him.Swastika was shocked.

Swastika and Rishab remember their childhood friendship.
Why is Swastika scared? What bothering her?
Prithvi got pushed back for now. But he will be back.
Who is that girl? Swastika will make her own assumptions.
Thank u very much Taahir,Coderlady,,Khwaishfan,Glitter_Goldie 4 the lovely comments.
A car reached the compound of the Luthra house.A girl came out of the car.She ran towards Rishab and embraced him.Swastika was shocked.
Rishab:Sherlyn...what are you doing?What will others think?
Sherlyn:Why are you so narrow minded Rishab?We are engaged.It's just a hug.Even a hug is making you uncomfortable.
Suddenly Rishab's eyes fell on Swastika.
Rishab:This is Sherlyn;my fiancee.
Swastika became dull.
Sherlyn saw Swastika.Swastika walked to her room.
Sherlyn:Who was that girl Rishab?
Rishab:She is Swastika;my childhood friend.She is staying here now.
Sherlyn was shocked.
Sherlyn:For how long will she be here?
Rishab:Maybe forever.
Sherlyn was shocked:What?
Rishab told her everything.
Sherlyn was shocked.
Sherlyn:By the way Rishab.I will be staying here for a month as dad has gone to London for the business trip.
Rishab was surprised.
Preeta got irritated hearing this and went to her room.Karan followed her.
Karan:What is this baby doll?Sherlyn is our guest.You just walked away without minding her.
Preeta:I am thinking how I will tolerate her for one month.
Karan:Why you don't like Sherlyn?
Preeta:I don't know why Karan.I don't find her good enough for Rishabji.
Karan:You jelled with Swastika so fast.But till now you could not accept Sherlyn.
Preeta:Swastika is a nice girl.But Sherlyn is arrogant and snobbish.
Karan:Anyway she is Rishab's future wife.You don't show any disinterest towards her.
Preeta:Ok.Like always I will pretend that I like her.
Karan:Ya...
Rishab went near Swastika.
Rishab:I have a gift for you.
Rishab gifted her a puppy.Swastika was surprised.
Swastika:So cute!
Rishab:In childhood you loved puppies.That's why I bought this for you.
Swastika was so excited that she embraced Rishab.
Swastika:You are the best Rishab.
He smiled.
Rishab:Now you enjoy with your new friend.
They both giggled.
Sherlyn who saw this became dull.
Swastika started playing with the puppy.Rishab watched it with a smile.Sherlyn noticed this.
Later Sherlyn went to Rishab's room.
Rishab:Yes Sherlyn...
Sherlyn:Rishab...Swastika hugged you which I did'nt like at all.
Rishab:Sherlyn!
Sherlyn:Why did you let her hug you Rishab?
Rishab:What do you mean Sherlyn?
Sherlyn:I mean..you never liked me hugging you.But you did'nt mind Swastika hugging you.What is the meaning of this?
Rishab:Swastika is my friend.It was just a friendly hug.
Sherlyn:I don't know Rishab.It did not seem to be a friendly hug to me.
Rishab:Then your eyes have some problem.
Sherlyn:Rishab!
Rishab:Sherlyn..please don't fight over this silly thing.
Sherlyn:It may be silly for you,but not for me.I don't like anyone hugging you.It should not be repeated.
She walked out of the room.Rishab became dull.
Rishab:Sherlyn is right on her place.But Swastika's hug was pure and innocent.I did not find it wrong.
Swastika was in the kitchen.
Bani came there.
Bani:Swastika,there is a sweet box in the cupboard.Can you please take it and give it to me?
Swastika:Ok dadi.
Swastika took the sweet box and gave it to Bani.Bani became very happy.
Bani:Thank you Swastika.
Bani walked to the dining room and began to eat sweets.Suddenly Rishab came and held her hand.
Rishab:No Dadi.You can't eat this.You are diabetic.
Bani became dull.
Swastika was shocked:Dadi is diabetic?
Sherlyn:Dadi,who gave you the sweet box?
Bani:Swastika.
Sherlyn:How careless are you Swastika?You don't want Bani dadi to be healthy?Why did you give her the sweet box?
Vijaya became upset.
Vijaya:I am apologizing on behalf of Swastika.
Swastika was very sad.
Swastika:I am sorry.I did not know that Bani dadi was diabetic.If I had known it,I would not have given the sweets to Dadi.
Sherlyn:You are lying.
Swastika's eyes were in tears.
Rishab:We all know that Swastika.So you don't worry.
Swastika was relieved as Rishab trusts her.
Sherlyn got angry seeing Rishab believing Swastika.
Bani:Sherlyn,please don't blame Swastika.She is innocent.I only asked her to take the sweet box and give it to me.
Preeta:Sherlyn,did you hear what Bani dadi say?So don't blame anyone without knowing the truth.Rishab:You are right Preetaji.We should not blame anyone without knowing the truth.
Sherlyn became irritated.
She thought:All are on Swastika's side.What magic did she do on them?
Rishab brought a cover of dresses and gave it to Swastika.
Rishab:Swastika,these are some clothes for you.You can wear them.
Swastika was surprised:Thank you Rishab.
Rishab:See the clothes first.I don't know whether you will like them.
Swastika looked at the clothes and said:They look very pretty.
Rishab smiled:I was tensed whether you will like them.Now I am relieved.
Swastika smiled.
Sherlyn was burning with anger.Swastika went to her room.Sherlyn went near Rishab angrily.
Sherlyn:Rishab,till now you have not bought any dress for me though i am your fiancee.But you bought dresses for Swastika.
Rishab:Oh Sherlyn...Swastika just ran away from her home town with a few clothes.She does'nt have enough clothes to wear.That's why I bought clothes for her.Please don't make it an issue.
Sherlyn:I can't believe it blindly Rishab.I feel that you love Swastika.That's why you bought clothes for her.
Rishab was shocked.
Rishab:Sherlyn!You are suspecting me?
Sherlyn:Yes.
Rishab was shocked.
Rishab:I love Swastika as a friend.You are misunderstanding me.
Sherlyn:Then tell me..do you love me?
Rishab became dull.
Sherlyn:Tell me Rishab.
Rishab:Sherlyn,ours is going to be an arranged marriage.So it takes time to fall in love.
Sherlyn:So you admitted that you don't love me.Why don't you admit that you don't love me because you love Swastika?
Rishab got angry.
Rishab:Enough Sherlyn.You are suspicious. I can't do anything about it.
Rishab walked away.Sherlyn was irritated.
Rishab was disturbed as Sherlyn suspected him.Karan and Preeta went near him.
Preeta:Rishabji...we know why you are upset.We heard your conversation with Sherlyn.
Rishab was shocked.He was embarrassed also.
Karan:But we trust you Rishab.
Preeta:Sherlyn is suspecting you now itself.Then after marriage what will be the condition?Why don't you break up with a suspicious fiancee like Sherlyn?
Rishab and Karan were shocked.
Karan:Preeta,has your brain damaged?Are you saying that Rishab should call off his engagement with Sherlyn?
Rishab:Preetaji,you only encouraged me to go ahead with Sherlyn's proposal.Now you are asking me to leave Sherlyn?
Preeta:I still feel guilty to ask you to accept Sherlyn's proposal.That time I did'nt know that Sherlyn's character would be like this.
Preeta held Rishab's hand and said:Please break this alliance Rishabji.Sherlyn does'nt suit you.
Rishab:Just because of one incident,how can I break up with Sherlyn?Fights happen in a relationship which is normal.Right?
Preeta became upset.
Preeta:But I find this fight abnormal.
Rishab:Preetaji,I know that you are worried for me.But don't worry.Everything will be alright.
Rishab said painfully:When a relationship breaks,it's painful.I don't want to go through that trauma.
Preeta felt sad.
Preeta nodded and went back to her room with Karan.
Preeta:I don't think that this relationship will work Karan.But Rishabji can't understand it.
Karan:You maybe over thinking Preeta.
Preeta:No Karan.I am damn sure that Sherlyn is not right for Rishabji.
Karan became upset.
Swastika slipped and was about to fall down.Suddenly Rishab held her by her waist.
Rishab:Are you alright Swastika?
Swastika:Yes.
Sherlyn saw them in this position and screamed:Rishab!
Rishab and Swastika looked at her.
Sherlyn:Finally you both are exposed.You both were having affair behind me without any shame.
Rishab-Swastika were shocked.
Rishab:Sherlyn,you are misunderstanding us.
Sherlyn:No.I saw it with my own eyes.
Swastika:I was about to fall down.That's why Rishab held me.
Sherlyn:Don't try to fool me.You both are cheaters.
All were upset hearing this.
Swastika:Please don't misunderstand Rishab.I will do anything to prove us innocent.
Sherlyn:Really?
Swastika:Yes.
Sherlyn:Then leave this house.If you leave,I will believe that you both are not in any affair.
All were shocked.
Swastika:Ok.Then I will leave with nani.
Vijaya became upset,so as the Luthras.
Rishab:Swastika...you don't need to go anywhere.Dadi and I brought you here to protect you.You are our responsibility.So you don't need to go anywhere hearing anyone's stupid order.
Sherlyn got angry.
Sherlyn:You are stopping Swastika from leaving as you can't live without her.
Rishab lost his control.
Rishab:Enough.Though others advised me to break up with you,I did'nt listen.But now I myself is taking this decision.Let us end this relationship.
All were shocked.Preeta smiled.
Swastika:Don't break this relationship because of me.
Rishab:You are not the reason Swastika.
Sherlyn:You are leaving me for this girl?
Rishab:Stop it Sherlyn.I am leaving you because without trust no relationship will work.
So it's better that we don't marry each other and spoil our lives.
Sherlyn was very angry.
Sherlyn:Don't think that by avoiding me you both can live happily.I will not leave you both.
All were shocked.
Sherlyn left angrily.
Swastika was crying.
Swastika:I am the reason for everything.
Rishab:Swastika,don't blame yourself.Actually I came here with a good news.But Sherlyn spoiled it.
Karan:What good news?
Rishab:I brought a marriage alliance for Swastika.I know the boy.He is nice.
All were surprised.Preeta and Swastika were shocked.
Vijaya was very happy:Really?
Rishab:Yes.I will show you the photograph.
Rishab showed the photograph to Swastika.
Rishab:Did you like him?Are you willing to marry him?
