it was almost 9 pm..Sanskar entered in house with a small packet in his hand but he stopped as he saw Swara and Ragini talking..
he looked around.. after having dinner everybody has already left to their respective rooms
he couldn't hear anything but with Swara expressions he could understand that Ragini again tried something to trouble her..
R: Swara, it's been more than a month.. you should already accept your defeat and stop fooling around..
S: and how many times i need to tell you that i will expose you no matter what..
R: even if you do, you won't get anything..you want to keep pretending that you belong to this family.. keep doing that..
but i'm telling you this for your own good...leave this house.. because now there is nothing you can have...
S: you think i want something from this house or this family..??
she chuckled and turned to leave.. Ragini stopped her placing her hand on shoulder..
Swara turned back to her..
if you are talking about Lakshya..you are mistaken...
she was about to leave again...
R: Lakshay!...??? she raised her brow..
he has moved on... so should you...she said a bit louder enough to make Sanskaar hear her..
Swara froze on her place for a moment..but she controlled herself and looked at her..
R: Lakshya doesn't love you anymore.. he has moved on...
he moved our relation forward.. our marriage..we are unified now...
"he doesn't love you Swara... not anymore..."she lied..
now it's your choice.. you still want to stay in this house and continuing this fake marriage or you want to leave...
but remember one thing.. Lakshay, his family, this house..?? they were never yours.. and they will never be...
Sanskar came forward pretending he didn't listen them..
SA: arey Swara! what are you doing with her.. let's go.. i brought you something...
R: ah! now your fake husband is here.. don't you guys get tired of all this over acting..
Ragini...!
Swara was feeling weak.. her knees were melting but she tried to stay stronger in front of Ragini..
leave her alone.. Sanskar looked at Ragini and said with a clam voice...
she scoffed...
R: take care of her.. guess she needs you right now..
Sanskar: I SAID LEAVE RIGHT NOW!!! he shouted
Ragini shivered for a moment but left from there with a smirk on her face..
Swara! Sanskar held her shoulder and called her name..
you're okay...?
yeah!. what will happen to me..?
whatever she said.. you don't think about it..
i don't even care about it Sanskaar.. why would i care..?
let's go..you said you brought me something.. show me... she said smiling and grabbed the packet from his hand...
Sanskaar turned and glared at Ragini.. she left to her room...
and he followed Swara.. calling her name...Swara!
Ragini got furious seeing her like that... how can't she get affected...??
- - - - -
In SwaSan's room...
Swara, listen to me..! Sanskar called her again.. but she just went into their room..
Sanskar came inside and closed the door...(as in the serial.. why do they never lock it...?)
Swara was about to open the packet.. but he stopped her holding her wrist and made her turn...
her eyes were moist but she was trying hard not cry..
are you okay? you know she is lying..hmm?
what will happen to me Sanskar.. 'course i'm fine..
and i don't care about what they do or don't..
let me see what you brought for me..her voice almost choked but she controlled.
Sanskar didn't say anything as he knew she was hurt and he didn't want to hurt her more asking same thing again and again..
she opened the packet.. and then looked at him..
it was a beautiful pair of earrings.. traditional and with green stone work.. (sorry, i'm bad in defining these things)..
Sanskar ye?
haan.. wo tumhare meri wajah se toot gaye the na... (don't get wrong ideas..*wink*)
par Sanskar, iski jaroorat nahi thi..
tumhe pasand nahi aaye kya?
nahi...
he looked at her with a pale face...
no. i mean.. bahut achchhe hai...thank you.. she smiled..
wo kal meri wajah se tumhe chot bhi aayi thi.. to uske liye..
she looked at him and raised her brows slightly...
he took two chocolates out from the pocket of his jacket...
she smiled and nodded in yes..
he gave one chocolate to her.. and opened the wrapper of another one for himself..
she snatched it from him..didn't you say you brought these for me..
he looked at her in awe..she kept her chocolates on her table..and walked towards her cupboard..
she was about to keep the earrings in her cupboard.. but stopped when he called her name..
Swara! pahan kar nahi dekhogi..he knew she wasn't in god mood.. but he wanted to divert her mind from what ragini said..
kal.. for sure.. she smiled but he looked a bit sad..
i-i mean.. abhi to night suit pe pata nahi chalega..
he scoffed and nodded...and was about to go and get change
Sanskar?
hmm?
dinner?
nahi.. bhookh nahi hai..
kyun?
bas aise hi..
thoda sa le aau..
he nodded in no.. tum so jao.. aaj bahut thak gaya hoon.. bas change kar ke aata hoon..
she nodded in yes..
he came back after a few minutes..Swara went to her bed... Sanskar took a pillow, switched off the lights and lied down on sofa..
but sleep was far away from their eyes..
it's already been more than 2 months.. but they still couldn't expose Ragini in front of Maheshwari Family..they were losing hope upto some extent
and whatever Ragini said today.. it did hurt Swara a lot..
he saw her teary eyes.. but why is she not telling this to me.. why she kept saying that she is okay..
almost 30 minutes passed..he kept looking at her and couldn't sleep
she was lying facing her back towards him.. and he could see how she was hugging her pillow tight..
it was all quiet in the room.. but inside them.. it was stormy and horrified feeling then they ever had..
Sanskar could not believe that Ragini will go upto any extent to make Swara feel weak and broken..
and today she was quite successful in her doings..
he saw Swara turning to another side so he closed his eyes..and opened them back after a few seconds when he heard a sob..
she was lying in her blanket all cuddled... his heart wrenched seeing her like this.. he got up and sat on the couch..
he saw her hiding her face in pillow and crying.. so he won't hear her sobs..
he knew even if he will go to her she will pretend that she didn't cry.. so he couldn't dare to get up from couch..
(something like their first night scene)
even though they were friends.. even though they were married.. still he felt that he had no rights...
but he couldn't ignore it anymore when she finally broke down and he heard her choke..
she was shattered.. she needed him..
he got up and walked towards her..he could see her pale yet beautiful face in the moonlight coming from their front window..
Swara!
she got scared as she heard her name..she immediately wiped her tears..kept her pillow aside and sat..
h- haan Sanskar.. kuchh chahiye??..she looked at him..and was about to switch on the table lamp..but he stopped her..
tum ro rahi ho.. he said with concern..
nahi- nahi.. main?? kahan?..
itni raat mein tum ye puchhne uthe ho..she scoffed..
tumhe mujh se jhooth bolne ki jaroorat nahi hai Swara...
meri taraf dekho...he sat beside her and said..
she couldn't lift her gaze
Ragini ne jo bhi kaha...
main bilkul theek hoon Sanskar.. she cut him in between..
i'm sorry.. tumhari neend disturb ho gayi..
tumhe aise dekh kar main kaise so sakta hoon Swara...
she ignored him..so jao sanskar.. she said and slipped back in her blanket..
she closed her eyes and covered her mouth in her hand to control her sobs..
seeing her like that Sanskar couldn't move from here..
a lone tear escaped from his eye hearing her sobs..
he placed his hand gently on his shoulder.. she knew he didn't leave.. she didn't want him to.. he always supported her but today...she just didn't know if she could share with him what she is going through with..
she wanted to rush from this house.. wanted to go to her mom and dida..and cry her heart out.. how everyone she trusted betrayed him..
except Sanskar no one was here who could understand her pain...but she couldn't even ask for a hug from him..
she couldn't tell him that she is feeling defeated inside..
Swara! it's just me..he held her shoulder and composed her...
she knew if she will tell him..he will listen..but still she didn't say anything..
Sanskar patted on her shoulder... if you want to talk.. i'm right here..
he was about to get up..when she called him without turning her face..
Sanskar?
he stayed mum..
will you always by my side..? her voice choked..
i will...
his heart wrenched seeing her in such state..
she held his hand the one holding her shoulder..
Lakshya ne aisa kyun kiya Sanskar..? usne mere saath aisa kyun kiya...? she broke down..clutching her pillow tight.. she cried her heart out..
tears rolled down from Sanskar's eyes..
Swara.. he whispered her name..
he lied down beside her (not in same blanket)..and hugged her from back...she placed her head on his biceps.. and he hugged her entwining their fingers in front..
Ragini ne laksh ko pane ke liye mere saath jo kiya wo kiya.. magar Laksh ne mujhe tod diya Sanskar..she cuddled in his arms (still facing her back towards him) and he held her close to his heart...
Laksh ne mujhe tod diya..
Ssshhh!!! Ssshhh!! Swara.. shant ho jao..
usne mujhe andar tak tod diya...
Sanskar caressed her head and tried to make her calm...
usne pyaar kiya to bharosa bhi to karna chahiye tha na...she choked..
karna chahiye tha na...?
hmm.. hmmm.. he caressed her hairs...karna chahiye tha... Sanskar said and held her close...
Ragini ke bholepan ke saamne usne mere pyaar ka majaak bana diya...
Sanskar nodded in no.. and tried to make her calm..
meri baat suno swara...
wo aisa kaise kar sakta hai...
Swara! meri baat suno...!!!
he made her turn...and look into his eyes..
tum bhi trust karo us par... lucky tum se pyaar karta hai.. ragini se nahi..
she clutched his tshirt in her small fists.. tears rolled down from her eyes...
ab nahi karta.. she nodded in no...
in 2 mahino mein ek baar bhi usne mera ya tumhara bharosa nahi karna chaha.. humari baat nahi sunni chahi..
wo mera sach janna hi nahi chahta.. ya shayad ragini ki massomiyat use itni sachchi lag rahi hai.. ki wo mera pyaar dekhna hi nahi chahta...
mujhe sach mein darr lag raha hai sanskar...mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai...she buried.. her face in his chest and cried..
maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki...
Sanskar tried to make her listen to him but she was vulnerable at the moment..
Ssshhh!!!...he patted on her head gently and caressed her hairs..
his tshirt was drenched in her tears.. and he could feel every bit of her pain..
she cried for whole night hugging him...
and he kept pacifying her...
she had lots of things buried in her heart.. she needed to cry all her heart out... Sanskar didn't stop her but also didn't let her lose herself..
in last two months she pretended to be strong but today she said everything to him...
she shared it with him how broken she feels every single day.. how much it is difficult for her to say them together like that and this family raising a finger on her character and SwaSan's relations..
it was almost 4 am...
after a lots of efforts finally he made her sleep...but he himself couldn't.. he knew that Ragini was a big liar and she will do anything to break the remaining trust lakshya and swara have on each other..he looked at Swara..
her eyes were red and swollen.. her face turned all pale..
he was worried what if whatever she said was true...Lakshya, I won't forgive you for this...he thought..
