Part 5
Its been around a week since sanskar's accident, Swara has been taking care of him, showering him with all the love. In the dinning table, swara had to feed Sanskar for first 2-3 days as his right elbow pained a lot not allowing to eat properly. The family had a bit of discomfort witnessing so much live on the table, but , they loved their swasan. Laksh's heart broke into pieces, he felt bruised and shattered every time he saw love for Sanskar in shona's eyes. He couldn't do anything to get her back in his life. Annapurna always kept an eye on Laksh. She didn't want Laksh to spoil anything. Ragini on the other hand, admired swasan but seeing laksh's state she felt bad. She decided to do something for Laksh.
In swasan room
Swara was cleaning their photos. She was staring at a photo that they has taken during their 1st marriage anniversary. She moved her hand on the photo and smiled.
Swara's thoughts - Sanskar you came in my life and made me alive again. Thank you Sanskar.
Swara...Swara...came in ragini calling Swara... Swara kept the photo in its place and turned to face ragini.she smiled at ragini and asked- yes ragini. What happened?
Ragini hesitated but she remembered laksh's state and continued- Swara, I want to talk to you about Laksh.Swara was shocked, how come she knew about me and Laksh? Before Swara could say something -
What do you want to talk about lucky - came sanskar's voice from behind. Ragini and Swara looked at Sanskar and then back at each other. Ragini didn't want to talk anything about swalak in front of Sanskar. She was afraid it might spoil swasan's relationship.
Ragini...what do you want to talk about Laksh? Asked Sanskar again.
I...I came to ask you guys if you have planned anything for laksh's party? Swara understood ragini's hesitation. Sanskar moved his hand over his hair and said - god! Yes, I have been planning for bade papa and ma's anniversary and completely forgot about laksh's birthday that is on Saturday. Its just 2 days from today. He looked at swaragini and said
We have to make a plan and celebrate laksh's birthday just the way he likes. Fun, music, party, just like Lucky's style.and I want you guys to help me. Swaragini nodded with a smile.
Ragini left the room. She felt a sigh of relief after leaving swasan room, she was frightened of the result of Sanskar coming to know of swalak. She knew swasan were adorable. But, she loved Laksh and she could go to any limit to bring a smile on his face. Her eyes were moist now.
In the days to follow, swasan and ragini were planning for laksh's birthday. The other members of the family also helped them.Laksh kind of realized that something was going on but he was too involved in his own inner turmoil to think about anything that was going on.
Laksh opened the door and he was surprised to see the room all lit up with candles and roses. Laksh was happy seeing the arrangement. Just then Swara came dressed in a red saree, her hair open and that little touch of make up made her look like an angle. Laksh was mesmerized by her beauty. Laksh was so lost in her beauty he forgot to notice the cake that Swara was holding.
Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you...happy birthday to dear Laksh...happy birthday to you. Swara placed the cake on the table and went to take Laksh who was still in his place. She took.laksh's hand and took him near the table and handed over the knife. Laksh kept looking at her in awe. She signed him to make a wish and blow of the candles
Laksh closed his eyes and wished for his shona. I want to see her by my side always.keep our love blooming in our hearts forever. He then blew the candles. He asked Swara to hold his hand as he cut the cake, his favorite fruit cake and fed it to her. Swara took a piece of kiwi from the cake and fed it to him. Laksh then played some music and asked Swara for dance, she nodded and held his hand. Swalak had a close dance. Laksh was just stating at her and Swara tried to read his eyes.
What happened Laksh?
Shona...I never expected.. I mean...he looked around the room and continued... I mean thanks shona...its really my best birthday till now. Thank you so much.
Swara smiled and said - Laksh I am happy that you are happy. That's all I want, to see you smiling. And they embraced in a hug.
Just then the rays on sun fell on his face, waking him up. He turned the other side and his hand fell on the photo . Laksh felt his sleep disturbed and he got up to find himself in MM. He looked on both the sides, took the photo in his hand, hey shona, good morning. And a smile crept on his lips .
Ragini came in and she was happy to see Laksh all smiling.
Laksh, you seem very happy. That's good. After all its your special day. Laksh looked at her in a confused expression. Ragini forwarded her hand for a handshake and wished - happy birthday Laksh.
Laksh smile and took her hand- thanks ragini.
Get ready and come down we are all waiting for you.ragini left the room and Laksh left to get a shower.Laksh while in shower was thinking about the dream and thought - it wasn't a dream shona. It wasn't. It was the way we celebrated my birthday 3 years ago.I remember those days shona. Before my birthday, you had told your family about us andthey had not agreed to our rrelationship and you chose me over them. Ma(Annapurna) when I told her about us, she had said she would talk to papa and that she needed time. That was a difficult time for us and do you remember what I had promised you shona- to be by you, come what may. To love you all my life . And shona I love you. I do. That was the best day of my life, u can't ever forget the day we loved each other and became one.
Laksh came out from his shower got ready and leftto join everyone in the hall. The entire family wished him. The eelders blessed him and they all did the morning aarti. Then came the time to give the birthday boy gifts.
Ragini gave Laksh a watch which Laksh wore at that moment itself and thanked her for the sweet gesture. Ragini felt happy seeing laksh smiling. Uttara gave him a card made of paper quiling. Laksh gave her a side hug and kissed her forehead. Parineeta fed him the gajar ka halwa that she had made. Laksh said- that's the sweetest gift bhabhi and they all smiled. Sanskar said he would give the gift at the party in the evening. Swara came forward and handed him something, very nicely gift wrapped. In it was a tag - from Swara. Laksh looked at it and smiled at her. He went on to open the gift and was shocked and surprised at the same time.
He showed the gift to everyone. Everyone liked Swara's gift. Sanskar in appreciation said - thanks Swara. I am happy.
If you are happy, your Swara is happy as well.
Annapurna was proud of Swara, after everything that swalak had been through Swara had kept respect of their family and gifted Laksh something so precious.
Laksh went to his room and hung the painting of him and Sanskar, the brothers together with their arms around each others shoulder all similng. The picture was taken at the airport before Laksh leaving 3 years back. The painting looked so lively and it was signed as Swara.
