Chapter 6
Once at the party , she felt all eyes' on her , She could hear hear random comment about herself , "That's Mrs Sanskaar Maheswari!" " oh my god she is soo beautiful" " is she pregnant?"
She was never someone who would get nervous but today she was , she felt her hands grow cold as she looked for her dupatta to hold on when she suddenly felt his arms wrapped around her waist holding her protectively
" i am here" he whispered against the hairs which covered her ears
He was still a mystery to her , she thought... he understood her nervousness when she said nothing to him and she was grateful
She cornered herself as she watched sanskaar talking his business associate , she was sure though he was talking to them his entire focus was on her
" so you're Mrs Maheswari!" She heard addressing to her
" yes i am" she replied confidently wondering who was the lady
"Oh maybe you dunno me, i am Ex Mrs Maheswari, Sanskaar's ex wife Kavita" She introduced herself arrogantly Swara felt
Swara was surprised at her attitude and arrogance but kept her calm
"Okay so?" Swara replied not being able to connect the pieces "honestly how is it supossed to bother me if she's sanskaar ex" she thought all puzzled
"you were soo much behind money that Sanskaar's gay status din't change your mind about marrying him" She taunted Swara giving her a clear view of what she was there for
"Ohhh now i get it , you know i was really confuse when you first initiated this conversation , you should be clear with your word" she chuckled at her shocked expression , it was sure she wasn't expecting swara to be as calm as she was being
"You know kavita don't mind but money isn't my need neither what i wish for and perhaps Sanskaar was gay to you , looking at your atire" she pointed towards her blinky suit and continued " but for me he's amazing infact awesome in bed" she wasn't expecting to say the last bit but perhaps the anger of someone else trying to show sanskaar down wasn't easily digested by her
"Cheap! thats all what sanskaar could get"
"Kavita why don't you try to go and get a life" she lifted her head and watched Sanskaar next to her
"Knight in shining armor to the rescue" was what played in her mind as she locked her eyes in his
He couldn't believe his ears when he heard whatever Swara told to kavita along of being proud he felt thankful , he rushed to her trying to convey her he's always here for her through his eyes
"Oh Sanskaar i missed my Friend" Their moment was broken by a third voice
"Karthik Not today, its a happy occasion , media and a lot of people are present here i don't want things to go dirty" He warned as Swara examined the man wondering who is he
" Oh c'mon dude , we're friend , heard your wife is pregnant??? do you know the father ? not you surely since you're gay"
She was stun at his word and felt her hands unconsciously move on her baby bump , first time she faced such a blame , she felt like to run away
" Karthik , you're talking about My wife here, not any other but Mrs Swara Sanskaar Maheswari, so you better mind your tongue and lay off , you are very well aware of my powers , it will take me just one second to ruin you dont force me" He was expecting to see these faces but he never thought because of him Swara's reputation will be questioned ...he turned to face her but found her nowhere to be seen , he felt like his soul leaving his body as he searched for Swara desperately
" i should have explained you Swara i will never forgive myself if something happens to you" he felt vulnerable that very instant he din't find her , her cheerful face flashing in his mind driving him more guilty When he saw her sitting on a bench out of the party venue , he rushed to her and heard her sobbing slowly
He sat besides her sighing relief , closing his eyes as if thanking God for returning her back , just when he was about to talk , he felt her leaning to him placing her head against his shoulder
She could face anything but her self respect reputation meant a lot to her , what if he start thinking its not his child , she slowly backed feeling all that fear engulfing her heart
she sobbed slowly against his shoulder as she felt his presence , again fearing he will misunderstand her
"Swara why are you crying" he gently patted her head soothing her slowly... on having no respond , he pulled her up cupping her cheeks
"Hey where's my fighter swaraa???" he tried to lighten her mood
"Do you doubt it's not your baby??" she finally broke her silence and expressed her fears shocking him , he knew she was affecting by Karthik's words but never ever he thought she will fear him misunderstanding her
"Swara are you mad Shona! i will never think that , i know no matter how bold you show you are but you are still purely kiddish and innocent" he flashed a smile at her siding his words
Perhaps he had some idea but his words surely calmed the turmoils she had within her ever since she heard that man's word
"One more Word Swara i told you i am not Gay there's no way i will ever doubt you or our baby" he said while placing on her curvy stomach relaxing her
"If you aint gay then why didn't you fight against it Sanskaar??" She leant back her head on his shoulder making herself comfortable , she just needed his warmth , thats all she knew , there was no awkwardness nothing , and he gladly hugged her keeping his hands on her little baby bump rubbing her stomach slowly
"Its a long Story Swara but i think i am ready to confide to you" he said thinking she deserves to know the truth
"i'm all at ear"
"hmmm...eversince i learnt the meaning of love i defined it as kavita , while being in college and the elder heir of Maheswaris many girls were smitten by me but i liked Kavita" She interupted
"smitten by you???" She snickered at him
"Get serious Swara" he scolded her
"fine fine , am gonna zip it "he smiled at her cute antics
"So yes many girls were smitten at me i never paid attention to the, not that i was being rude or whatever but Kavita was all what i wanted , but bade papa and mom never agreed , they dint like Kavita since they believe she is a gold digger yet i went against all and married her seven years back..." He took a pause as he remmembered those days but continued as he felt her fingers on his encouraging him to continue
"you know things were real good between us until Lakshya made a mistake in signing deals , Lakshya was new to business field and quite irresponsible , in that he lost Bade papa's major shares , i knew he would lose bade papa's trust if he finds about it so i signed all my shares on his name and said i lost my shares, after that Kavita's behavior changed towards me i often asked her what went wrong but she would just turn me down and leave , after that i received a divorce noticed , she said she din't want to stay with me , i begged her for the sake of our love but she said i was not the sanskaar she love anymore , obviously i was broke those days , then one fine day i read in the newspaper she said she left me because i was gay , when i confronted her about it i learned , she did it all on karthik's behalf , he would accept her only if she would give such a statement"
"arghh , what is this Karthik's problem and you why din't you fight against it" she pouted still puzzled
"Karthik did all of this because of his sister Tanya who ...commited ..suicide following to my wedding to kavita" he stammered leaving her at his confession
"i could fight against Kavita's word but before that i was engulf by the guilt of a girl harming herself because of me, i barely knew tanya , i never led her to believe i love her or anything , i dunno why did she do that , but after kavita it was sure i wasn't into girls or anything so there was no use of fighting against it , i accepted all quietly as the punishment of a girl losing her life because of me" she straightened herself looking at him , she could feel his pain in his voice
"you're soo wrong
Sanskaar , you weren't just punishing yourself but your family , did you ever see badi ma and mom whenever people called you gay infront of them...Ever imagined the pain and humiliation they felt????... i dont say what happened to that girl was right , it was terribly wrong but at the same time it wasn't your fault , as you said you barely knew her then how can you hold yourself guilty for something that din't happen because of you at all , by holding yourself guilty you are just giving a raise to Karthik's madness and that witch kavita's wickedness" he couldnt help but notice how she took kavita's name with displease but at the same time he felt guilty knowing he punished his family along with himself and now even Swara is paying the price
"i am sorry Swara because of my silence all suffered now even you" he bowed his head in guilt infront of her
"You can't do anything about it Sanskaar but i can" she was back being Swara and right now his sadness pained her
"like what??
"Get up and follow me" she pulled him to a media filled area , whispering close to his lips , "sorry but i have to do this"
As he opened his lips to ask her why, he felt her lips crushed against his , She wrapped her arms around his neck pushing her lips harder against his , she could hear crowd around them and tried to pull away as her target was fulfilled but he refused to let her away , he pushed his tongue between her lips kissing her full mouth , mere feeling the gentle touch of her lips drove him mad , he cared the least about the surrounding or why she kissed him but right now his lips were feeling contented against hers
He broke the kiss on hearing his name being Quoted as the best businessman of the year
"Sanskaar go" she whispered smilingly placing her forehead against his
"not alone" saying so he walked to the stage with her besides him
"Goodevening ladies and gentleman i have been receiving this award since last few years but neither i came to receive it nor to thanks for the honor you guys have been giving to me, but today i will do it both and the reason is here,my Beautiful wife Swara Sanskaar Maheswari the girl who gave my life a new direction and my unborn child who is already lucky for his dad"
His every word touched her to the bottom of her heart , he said she and their child gave his life a new direction
"Mrs Maheswari You have an amazing dressing sense" she got commented by a lady
" Thank you , Sanskar gifted it to me , you know when our husband buy something for us good or bad we are ought to look beautiful in it" she was sure kavita was near ,heard her and might be already fuming
She fell asleep in the car when they reached home , he admired her sleeping face and thought it wont be right to wake her up , he got off opening the car for her and slowly yet gently picked the bridal way making sure she wouldn't wake up , he injured his finger while closing the car door and noticed her discomfort as he shouted 'ouch' , he bowed down his lips on her forehead kissing her gently
He was unknown to the fact they were being watched by someone who felt relief
"Lakshya!! now i am sure too Sanskaar is definitely the right choice for Swara" she hugged her husband feeling confident
