Everyone is guessing about Swara's realization and confession. So I decided to have my own take on how I want the conversation to play out. Although I am highly confused about the order of spoilers and upcoming sequences so I have deciphered my own. In the OS all the four go to the temple where Swara meets Salman and he tells her about love. After that they come home and when Swara is leaving , Laksh cuts himself where Swara tends to him. This OS will play out from here. And also the conversation between Laksh and Sanskaar about the later brainwashing Swara happened after KC. I hope you all will like it. Do tell me , it encourages me to write more. Please ignore the spelling or grammatical errors, I have not edited it. I am not really happy with this piece of mine but I hope that you all will like it
Ragini came rushing near the stairs in a moment of panic. Was she really worried or just acting even God himself will never be able to tell.
Downstairs in the hall, another story was going on. Swara had decided to return to Badi for good. Only if she knew there was no good in it.
She stood there masking her emotions behind her impassive face. When small she was really fascinated by clowns. There colourful masks behind which they hid their real faces.
"Why do they hide their faces Maa ?" She used to ask her mother and the reply she got was something far out of reach of a mere child. "Maybe hiding their faces, emotions is what helps them. But its no good hiding it." Swara never understood the depth in those sentences. But today as she stood reliving her memories, she found this particular one describing her in the current scenario.
She thought to herself that how even she has became a clown and her life a circus. She hid her feelings when her sister betrayed her, she hid them when Laksh left her and now she is hiding them. Wearing a mask , a mask of indifference she had made her life a circus. Her mother has said correctly, hiding emotions is no good.
She looked up to see the face she has grown to adore in these last days. He was standing there, staring at her like no one else mattered. She knew he was sad. She knew he was hurt. She knew he did not want her to leave. After all he loved her. Loved her with his life.
"Let those tears fall Sanskaar. Tell me you don't want me to leave. Please become selfish for once in your life and I promise I will stay. Stop me Sanskaar. I don't know why I want to say this when I am still confused about my heart but I know for once that it wants to stay. Stop me please. "Swara thought to herself silently, praying that Sanskaar will understand.
To say Sanskaar was broken will be understatement. He was feeling like he was losing his life. His light. His hope. His everything. All his life he has lost everyone who was close to him. His family, Laksh, Kavita, and now even Swara. He did not know if will survive losing her. He wanted to stop her , felt like someone was urging him .
Before anyone could have pondered more over their thoughts a voice jerked them to reality. Ragini was standing upstairs and the words she spoke froze everyone.
" Maa, Papa please come fast , Laksh had slit his wrist." she was crying helplessly.
Everyone rushed upstairs as Swara reached their first. Laksh was lying there with blooding gushing out of his wrist. It hurt Swara to see him like this. She did not love him, but the care was still there. He was her friend once, her love once. She quickly did his first-aid as slowly everyone started leaving.
Sanskaar stood there silently in a corner as he always do, observing the scene being played out infront of him. Ragini was looking at Swara with pure hatred as Swara was busy tending to Laksh who was mesmerized by her.
This is what Sanskaar was best at. Observing people, understanding situations around him. The people around him never realize that he is still there, he stands in a corner deciphering the world and when he speaks everyone listens. But right now he was at loss of words. It was clear to him that the crazy Ragini was back and Laksh will be following her footsteps if not stopped but it was Swara , beacause of whom he has became a silent spectator.
Sanskaar has seen her ghostly-pale face when she heard what Laksh has did. He has seen her concern when she rushed inside the room and at present he could clearly see how much she cared for his brother.
" Maybe she still loves him. And if she does she should go back to him." were Sanskaar's immediate thoughts as he remembered what Laksh has accused him off.
"You brainwashed her into leaving me. You love her. But remember she only loves me. She is mine and will always be." Sanskaar had not pondered over it a lot because it was a daily routine of Laksh but seeing them today, it felt like the world has shifted from beneath his feet.
"Swara. I knew you love me. I cannot live without you. See what I did today. Come back to me Swara and we can again be happy. Please" laksh asked Swara.
Laksh was not going to lose her. Swara was his. No brother of his can take her away from. He has became the second version of his wife without even knowing. He was just a pawn on her chess board. She knew how to play her games and she was going to demolish her sister's kingdom using the traitor in her army.
Swara became silent hearing Laksh's words. He has become crazy enough to slit his veins so that would accept him. He was forcing her to love him back and she did not want to. This was not love. This was obsession.
" Love is trust Swara. It is about letting go. Doing that makes the one you love happy. Love is not selfish. If the person loves you he will do everything for your happiness, even leaving you if you love someone else. Think about it Swara and then take your decision. Yoy would not want to lose the right one." The famed actor has told these words to Swara and as she sat there analyzing those words, everything became crystal clear to hear. She has finally found the right one.
Handing over the first-aid kit to Ragini, she left the room without a single word. Ragini looked at her with a bemused expression. But Swara was oblivious to these things. She was feeling happy, joyous and what not. She silently to her room, Sanskaar's room without a word , very well aware of the footsteps following her.
Sanskaar had been expecting an answer. He thought that Swara will say yes but her weird behavior had agaun left him speechless. He followed her as she entered their room, with curiosity to find some answers.
Swara turned to look at him. Her eyes were glistening. She looked happy. She was about to say something when Sanskaar started blabbering.
" Go back to him Swara. I know he loves you. And you also love. It was so evident today. I don't want to be the stone in your way. Give him a chance. He is my brother. I know he will keep you happy."
Swara looked at him with a shock. What the hell was he saying. Sanskaar would never ask her to do so. What just happened to him.
" Do not worry about Ragini. She can be managed. Give him a chance Swara and I will talk to everyone in the family. Yesterday when Laksh told me that you will love him only, I should have believed him. He looked so broken. Maybe he was right that I am reason that you are not going back to him..."
Swara did not listen to his blabber any further. Sanskaar's behaviour was clear to her now. Laksh had made him do so. Laksh deserved a piece of her mind. When she has cleary told him that she did not love him then why was this boy not ready to listen. But right now she had more important matter in her hands and that was to make Sanskaar shut up.
She swiftly kept her finger over his mouth and said
"Shut up Sanskaar. I am not even listening to you."
" But Swara..."
" I said quiet. Stop speaking for God's sake. Here I want to tell you something and you are busy in persuading me to go back to your brother. Get one thing in your head, I am never ever going back to him. "
Sanskaar had immediately shut his mouth. Swara was looking at him like she would eat him up right now. He has misjudged her. Swara looked at him , straight into his eye ,inter twinning her fingers with his. Sanskaar felt shivers running down his body. He was suddenly at loss of words. Again. This girl will make him go crazy one day. She was looking at him with those doe eyes, which were filled with love. Love ?
" Now listen to me Sanskaar. I will speak and you will listen."
Sanskaar nodded his head like an obedient child.
" Today when we went to the temple, I met someone there. That person made me realize what love is. Love is beautiful Sanskaar. It gives you a sense of being complete , being safe, being happy. Love is never forced Sanskaar. You are asking me to love Laksh? What he has his obsession not love. You have showed me what love is, you have showed me how to love."
Sanskaar felt like melting. He felt stupid. How could he believe Laksh ? This girl standing infront of him was his everything. And the words she was speaking was giving him hope, that he never had.
" Where are you going with this Swara? " Sanskaar asked her. She was dangerously close to him. Only inches apart. Sanskaar felt like he would lose his control. Bringing her arms around his neck, she lowered him to look straight into his eyes.
" What I mean Sanskaar, is that your love has overpowered my pain. Your love has cured my heart Sanskaar. It had brought together all the pieces that went missing somewhere. Your selfless care, love has forced me into giving in. You gave me so much love that I have been forced into loving you. I was not able to stop myself. Your little activities, your jokes, your support, your unshaking trust has just made me fall more deeply and madly in love with you. I love you Sanskaar, I always will."
" Swara are you..."
" Sure? I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I am a fool to have not realized it before."
" But Swara why me ?..."
" Now don't start those typical ramblings like I am not good for you, you deserve better and blah blah. You are my husband Sanskaar. The one I have given my heart and soul soul. Its goodthat Ragini married Laksh otherwise I would never have had you. You are the best thing thats ever happened to me. I am not going anywhere or leaving you. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life."
" I am glad to have you in my life for forever. I love you Swara, I love you a lot."
Sanskaar hugged her tightly, hiding his face in her hair. This girl has changed his life. She had melted the his stone heart and given him hopes. Maybe the old Sanskaar will never be back but this one was no more the ice cold person who has changed the course of everyone's life just using his brain. He has finally melted, for her, beacuse of her. Because Some people are worth melting for.
A pair of eyes watched the scene from outside their window. He was seething in anger. She had left him amd his brother has betrayed her . He wanted revenge. If he was not happy then they will also be not happy. He will destroy their kingdom and he had wicked partner to help him. They were the King and Queen of one side of the chess board and he was no more the pawn. He was now the King of his side with a Queen already crowned. Oh, this game will be fun.
That night brought peace with it. But well our dear old couch was feeling jealous and cold for it has lost its warmth to the much larger and comfortable bed just like Laksh has lost Swara to Sanskaar. Two people slept there, intertwined with each other for the fates had brought them together and Aphrodite loved their love story. Nobody was going to separate them for the kingdoms forged with fire of pain, love and care have always been impenetrable. Finally their world was complete. Finally the nomads have found their home.
P.S. I did not stretch the swara laksh scene because I did not want too and had no idea of what to write. Iam-in-love asked me to write one with happy ending so here it is.
