Dear readers,
A big big thank you for your love and appreciation towards this series. I want to take this opportunity to apologize for not responding to each and every comment. The warmth and love through your comments mean a lot. They inspire and encourage me to write more.
There was a request to update as a whole as opposed to bits. There is a reason why I update in bits. Knowing that you all are waiting for me to complete chapter, pushes me to find time to write. If I were to wait until I complete a chapter then update, my updates would be very few and far inbetween.
The best I can offer is to wait until the word 'incomplete' is taken off from the title.
Apologies in advance, no pms.
Swara races into the study, a grin on her face, ignoring the shocked look on Aadarsh's and sanskar's face, who were seated on the sattee, she looks for a place to hide, saying, "don't mind me." Moving the chair from the desk, Swara quickly crawls under the desk, dragging the chair back in position. She quickly looks around, satisfied that she cannot be seen. Looking out through the the small gap between the desk and chair, Swara whispers loudly, "stop staring at the desk. You will give me away."
Shaking his head in disbelief, Sanskar turns to Aadarsh, his eyes silently asking, "do you know what is going on?" Aadarsh shrugs his shoulders, gesturing, "no idea." Curious and slightly concerned, Sanskar takes a step towards the desk, "don't you dare take another step," Swara whispers furiously, " forget you saw me. do what you were doing before," she whispers hurriedly.
Sanskar sits down, clears his throat and continues discussing business with Aadarsh, "I have revised the manufacturing costs..." Unable to ignore his wife, he turns back to the desk and asks, "what are you doing under the table?" Rolling her eyes, Swara whispers, "duh! Can't you see I am hiding." "Why? From whom?", Sanskar asks, confused. Sighing, Swara whispers, "I am hiding from Arjun." Aadarsh sits up, exclaims, "my son! Why?" "We are playing hide and seek," Swara explains. "He is five years old," Sanskar exclaims. "And your point is?", Swara asks drily. "No point," Sanskar mutters more to himself. Turning to Aadarsh, his gaze filled with amazement as he tries to comprehend what his wife just told him. Grinning, Aadarsh mouths, "welcome to married life." "Thank you," Sanskar mouths back.
Arjun opens the door to the study, looks around, seeing his father, he walks up to him, asking, "dad have you seen chachi?" Smiling Sanskar replies, "no we haven't," as he points at the desk, whispering, "under the desk." Racing to the desk, Arjun pushes the chair slightly, shrieks in excitement, crawls under the desk, grinning as he grabs hold of Swara, chanting excitedly, "I caught you... I caught you..." Laughing, Swara pulls him for a quick kiss and hug, saying, "you have to touch the special wall."
Shrieking as he pulls away from the hug, Arjun quickly crawls out from under the desk... Swara following suit closely. Seeing Swara stride towards the door, he stops and turns towards his father. "Go... Run... To the special wall." Aadarsh says, grinning. Shaking his head, he says, "chachi is bigger than me. She will get there first." Placing the file on the coffee table, laughing, Sanskar says, "no she won't... Come on" and races after Swara.
Grabbing Swara by the waist from behind, lifting her off her feet, twirling her as he says laughing, "Arjun hurry up... I've got your chachi." Curious to see what Sanskar was going to do, Aadarsh had followed him until the door. Staring in disbelief, he breaks into a grin and tells his son, "hurry up." Excited Arjun runs to his father, grabs his hand and together they run out. Aadarsh asks his son, "Arjun where is the special wall?"
Twisting her head to the side, Swara sees Arjun point towards the wall that is inches away from her as Aadarsh grabs his son and races towards the special wall. Renewing her efforts Swara tries to touch the wall, calling out, "let go of me. This is not fair." Laughing Sanskar swings her around, mindful that she does not touch the wall. Touching the wall, Arjun screams in excitment, "out. Out. Chachi is out. My turn to hide."
Releasing Swara carefully, Sanskar grins, says, "my work is done." Swara grabs his arm, stopping him, smiling she says, "u wish. since you were so accommodating. It is only fair that Arjun and I hide and you looks for us." Turning to Arjun she says, "what say Arjun... Should chacha join us." Happy, Arjun says "yes and daddy too."
To Aadarsh surprise, Sanskar didint need much convincing. Closing his eyes, he leans on the special wall and starts counting from one to hundred. Seeing Parineeta by the stairs, Swara calls out, "Parineeta, join us. Hide and seek. Sanskar's turn to find us." Surprised, Parineeta looks at Sanskar who is counting aloud, turns to her husband, who smiles reassuringly and says "come, let us hide."
Walking slowly towards the sofa, Sanskar says in a booming voice, "I can see you." Arjun squeals, laughing he comes out from behind the sofa and races towards the special wall. Laughing Sanskar follows him, mock running after him. Sujata stands by the pillar near her bedroom door. Her eyes watering with unshed tears as she watches her son run around the house, filled with laughter. Seeing Sujata emotional, Anapurna walks up to Sujata, places her hand on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly, says emotionally, "can you believe, that is our Sanskar." Sujata places her hand on Anapurna's, tears fall, she says, "jiji, he has come back to us." Nodding, holding her tears in check, Anapurna says, "yes he has."
Swara seeing the special wall undefended, comes out of her hiding place, racing towards it. Sanskar seeing her, races after her, calling out, "gotcha," as he grabs her by her waist. "No... No...," Swara says laughing , trying to get him to release her. Screaming, "Arjun help... Arjun... Help." Arjun runs towards them and says, "chachi what should I do", all excited. "Grab his leg... Grab his leg..." Swara says as she twists and turns. Sanskar looks down at his feet, tiny hands trying to hold on to his leg, says, "Arjun, I just helped you." Grinning, Arjun replies, "I am in chachi's team."
Shaking his head in disbelief, careful not to hurt Arjun, his focus no longer entirely on Swara. Swara seeing an opportunity slips out of Sanskar's hold and races to touch the wall. Arjun lets go of Sanskar's leg and races to his chachi, both grinning, ear to earns they hi five one another. Smiling, Sanskar asks teasingly, "what spell did you cast?" Teasing back, Swara replies, "the same one I cast on you." "Why you..." Sanskar says as he chases after Swara... No idea as to what he would do once he caught her.
Laksh stands by the entrance, frozen, his heart breaking to tiny pieces as he watches Sanskar lift Swara off her feet, twirling her around, his heart aching, "that should have been me." Seeing his mum and choti maa, he walks up to them, unobserved.
Watching Sanskar laugh carelessly, Anapurna says a silent thank you to God, happy that her husband's decision had a positive effect this time. Sujata smiles as she watches Swara and Sanskar, her heart light, the apprehension she had over their relationship gone as she silently thanks Swara for coming into her son's life. Closing her eyes, she adds quickly, "thank you God for sending Swara."
Anapurna notices an angry and hurt Laksh walk towards her. She looks ahead of him... To Swara and Sanskar... Swara in his arms as they laugh away... Then back at her son... His expression stony. Without a word she steps away from Sujata, turns and walks away towards her room. "Mum," Laksh calls out, hastening his steps, adding, "wait up. I want to talk to you." Anapurna stops, turns to her son and says, "sure... Join me in my room," and continues walking to her room.
Read your comments... Glad that our reactions match... This is one chapter I have laughed as I write.
I was planning to add quite a bit to this chapter, however several comments have suggested that this chappy is perfect. I don't want to mess with it, hence shall continue in part 8
