Part 7
Next morning at MM
The sun rays through the glasses, crossing the curtains fell on laksh's face. He felt disturbed and turned the other side. He slept for what felt like a long slumber and got up after a while. His head felt so heavy as if someone had hit him with a hammer. Just then Sanskar walked in with a glass and gave it Laksh.
What's this bhai?
Its lemon and salt water, will help you with the hangover.
Laksh held his forehead and said -
God! Its hurting a lot. He took the glass from Sanskar and thanked him.
Get ready lucky, I will see you in the office.
Oh, yes. We have to discuss the terms of partnership. I will be there at 10.30 with ragini.
Sanskar nodded and left a hungover Laksh behind.
Swasan room
When Sanskar reached his room, he found the blankets neatly folded and kept. The curtains were open for the sun rays to light up the room. He could hear the shower on and he knew Swara was up. After about 15 minutes Swara came out dressed on a simple outfit and water dripping from her hair. She found Sanskar staring at the big photo that was hung just above their king size bed. She held Sanskar from behind. Sanskar smiled and placed his hand on her that was lying on his chest.
What are you looking at?
Sanskar held swara's hand and pulled her in front of him. Swara was just staring at her husband. Sanskar looked at the photo and then looked at Swara. He smiled.
Swara, you have come to learn to love me.
Swara was surprised at sanskar's statement.
She hugged Sanskar, her head resting on his chest.
I am sorry Sanskar. I am troubling you so much. I am really sorry.
Sanskar held her tight, his chin resting on her head. He caressed her hair and said -
That day Swara, that day when I took those 7 vowswith you, i now know what they mean. And I take a vow today to fulfil all the promises I have made to you. I promise to keep your happiness above mine. I know I asked a lot from you these days, and you didn't mind at all. I know its so tough for you to face Laksh everyday, I am sorry Swara.
Swara still I'm sanskar's arm said-
Sanskar, you are a very nice guy. And I am the luckiest girl to have found a life partner like you. You accepted me, taught me to smile, laugh, live and love all over again. And I promise you Sanskar to give you all the happiness. After a while swasan parted and just smiled at each other. Sanskar got ready and left for his office. Ragini and Laksh left for the office as well.
In the office Sanskar tried hard to concentrate on his job but his mind was occupied with previous night events
" Swara, my shona...loves you Sanskar...my shona loves you" kept ringing in sanskar's ears. He closed his eyes and remembered the very first time when he met swara -
**flashback **
2.5 years back
Kolkata
Sanskar was in a hospital that was run by the Maheshwari Trust. He was there to attend the management meeting and Dp had asked him to attend the meeting on behalf of him. Sanskar was on his way when he heard the nurses talking -
She isnt speaking at all.
May be, she couldn't bear the trauma.
As the nurses left Sanskar went inside the room. He found a girl, she was in the hospital gown and she was sleeping on the bed facing the other side. The room was having a strange silence and he could feel a sense of pain behind the silence. He left the room and before going ahead, he turned back once to look at the room. The room had a sign board of "pregnancy ward 1". That was his Swara. The very first time he met her.
His thoughts were broken by ragya as they came in to discuss about the partnership for the new venture. Laksh and ragini took the vacant seat opposite Sanskar and Laksh began to read the clauses of the agreement. While reading, Laksh looked at Sanskar and ragini to find them lost. He waved his hand in front of them, but they were Stoll lost in their own world.
Guys- Laksh called and Sanskar and ragini looked at Laksh..
Finally! Where were you both lost. I am sure you guys didn't listen to any of what I said. Right?
Sanskar said- sorry lucky, can we discuss this later?
Yea sure bhai. I will leave the papers here. You read it when you get time. Ragya left from there. Sanskar called Swara. After a couple of rings she answered the call.
Hello...
Hello Swara, what are you doing?
Nothing much...just like that...
You are busy painting right?
Swara felt happy that Sanskar knew her so well. Yes
And what are you painting this time?
You will know soon.
Okay. I will meet you at home.take care.
Listen Sanskar..
Yea Swara.
I love you..
I love you too... And with this Sanskar disconnected the call. He was now in the right frame of mind, so he took the papers left by Laksh and went through them..
Ragya left the office early and Laksh took her to see Kolkata. After a lot of shopping, sightseeing and Kolkata delicacies they left for MM. Ragini all the while was thinking about Laksh. How he came to her life. Laksh joined their firm in Australia as a trainee And his skill and caliber soon had him as the VP of their company. Her Dad was very fond of Laksh and appreciated his business skill and intelligence. Gradually Laksh took her as his friend but by then she was already in love with him. When Laksh disclosed about him and Swara, her heart broke to pieces but her love for Laksh didn't decrease. With every passing day she was falling for him more. Her thoughts were broken as the car stopped all of a sudden and she looked at Laksh.
Laksh smiled at her and said, we reached home.
I love you Laksh...I love you. That's all she said, and left from there.
Laksh was too shocked to utter a word. He got down from the car and saw ragini running to her room.
