"Swara?!?" all gets shocked.
"What the hell, Swara! Why did you do this?" Lakshya asked fuming in anger.
She folded her arms around her chest and looked away.
"How could you... you have to answer me!" he had a stern voice.
"Lakshya, just because you are my sister's boyfriend, that doesn't mean you will talk to me like that!" she said pointing him.
"Really, Swara?" he gave her an 'unbelievable' look. "our relation was never just that I am your sister's boy friend or you were my brother's girlfriend, our bond was much deeper. And you know that!"
"Whatever!"
"I am your sister, Swara." Ragini said almost crying. "How can you do this to me?"
"Its better you shut up, Ragini!" Swara she said in a low yet stern voice. "you never did our duty as a sister!"
"Are you crazy, Swara?" she almost yelled. "You were always my first priority, important than anyone else. And you..."
"Wrong, Ragini" Swara cut her. "Your first priority was always Lakshya, it was never me. Two years before, you were the reason of our separation. Because Lakshya's mom never liked you. You were NEVER her choice. And because of you, Sanskaar left me. And today, when its time for reunion, you happily accepted Lakshya but never told me once, to go back to Sanskaar. Did you? No! Your first priority was always Lakshya, Ragini. Always!"
"I never knew you think like this about me, Swara. For heaven sake, I am your sister. I will never do injustice with you. I always wanted your happiness. We were planning for your marriage in this dais only. Swara, if I love Lakshya, than I love you too. If I can't live without him, than not without you also. You know it, right?" Ragini asked with tears in eyes.
"Swara, I can't believe you did all this." Lakshya said in a disappointed tone. "Tell me one thing. What would you get by breaking our marriage? By separating us? Come on, speak up! You know what? You don't deserve to be sister."
"I am ashamed of you, Swara!" Ragini said tensed.
"Enough guys!" Sanskaar yelled at them. "Enough is enough. Now stop it you two!"
"Sanskaar..." Lakshya began.
"No, Lakshya." He cut him. "I will tell you the reason."
"Sanskaar.!" Swara tried to stop him.
"Swara, don't." he warned. "I can' take it more."
"You promised me!"
"To hell with that promise! You don't care of your self-respect, but I do. I cant see your insult in pen eyes. Why don't you just tell them the truth?"
"What are you saying, Sanskaar?" Ragini asked confused.
"I am telling the truth, Ragini! Don't take me wrong, but why can't you just differentiate your sister's truth and lie? You were proud of her one day and now you say, you are ashamed of her? And Lakshya you, you always wanted a sister like her, right? And today you are saying, she doesn't deserve to be one? Come on guys, grow up! I am not saying, kill your happiness for us, but at least don't think that, we can be against your love." Exclaimed Sanskaar.
"What do you mean, bro?" lakshya asked.
"Ask her!" Sanskaar replied pointing towards his mother.
Yes. She forced Swara to do this. She told her she will make Ragini's life hell if she married Lakshya. Ans Swara can't spoil her sister's life, so she decided to save Ragini and leave Sanskaar. This was the reason why she pretended to hate Sanskaar and hurt him. But guess what? He heard Swara and his mom's conversations before marriage. She was asking her to stop this marriage at any cost.
Flashback
"I can't do this, she is very happy!" begged swara.
"Think again, she will cry all her life!" Sujata warned. "Last time Sanskaar did this for me, now your turn."
She left. Swara turned and found sanskaar near the window. He came in.
"That's why you behaved weird?" he asked.
"Why didn't you tell me, she was the reason of our separation?" she questioned back.
His eyes filled with tears.
"I was helpless, Swara. I had to do what she said."
"Helpless?"
Flashback ends.
"I am not her real son." Sanskaar stated.
Everyone gets shocked.
6 months later
Delhi
7:30 AM
"I am ready. Where is the breakfast?" he shouted sitting on the dining table.
"Just 2 minutes." She shouted back from the kitchen.
He opened the newspaper and started reading. Just when he finished the first line, someone dragged it from her and folded it.
"Lakshya, how many times have I told you no work on breakfast table?"
"Swara, you are late this time. Come on, give me food. I am craving!" he said arranging the plates.
She smiled and served sitting beside him.
"I will late from office today. Don't wait for me." He said while eating.
She glared at him.
"What?" he asked.
"It's the third time this week." She said in a stern voice.
He smiled at her.
"You know I am workaholic,"
"Yeah..." she whispered.
"I will leave. Take care." He said and left. Swara closed the door.
Mumbai
7: 52 AM
"Where is my wallet?" he asked.
She handed him his wallet.
"My hanky?"
She handed.
"And file?"
She opened the cupboard and gave him
He sighed.
"You are a star, Ragini!" he praised.
"Sanskaar, what will happen of you without me?" she asked.
"Genuinely, I don't know!" he smiled.
She shook her head on him.
"Anyways, should I pack your lunch?" she asked.
"No. I have a lunch meeting today." He replied.
They had breakfast together. Sanskaar got up from the chair and picked his suitcase.
"Bye!" he said and Ragini glared at him.
He bites his tongue and went to temple. He joined his hands in front of god and closed his eyes. He prays for a while. It was Ragini's order that he must pray before leaving the house. He smiled at her when finished. She waved a good bye and he left.
