Swara flushes and ashamedly lowers her eyes down to the floor to avoid staring into those intense molten chocolate eyes.

Swara: (softly) ... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean to pry"

Sanskaar: (cutting her short) But you did.

Glancing up to see him, she watches him standing gallantly tall in the doorway, his intimidating appearance making her feel smaller than a mouse. Not knowing what else to say, she quietly says...

Swara: (sincerely) ... I'm..I'm really sorry Mr. Maheshwari...

A silent second passes by, to what feels like a century to Swara, as Sanskaar simply gazes at her with his piercing eyes before changing them over to Ragini who jumps on hearing his controlling voice.

Sanskaar: I brought Ananya her milk... Feed it to her. Then put her to sleep, I am sure she is tired from the long flight.

Ragini: J-Ji Bhaiya...

Ragini takes the bottle of milk from her brother's hand and swiftly takes Ananya out of Swara's arms who feels as if something is being ripped away of her by this. She makes a movement to protest but stills in her actions as she meets Sanskaar's steel gaze once more. She looks the other way and seconds later hears his retreating steps fading away...

**********************

The reason why Swara hadn't met Ananya Maheshwari, the jewel in the Maheshwari family, before was because she had gone along with her father to the States for his business contract. They stayed with Sanskaar Maheshwari's cousin, Adarsh and his wife Parineeta, where Ananya was looked after while Sanskaar attended to his business. From Annapurna she hears that Sanskaar Maheshwari never leaves off without Ananya anywhere and that he centers everything around her. Perhaps this was mainly due to Ananya being motherless or the personal experience Mr. Maheshwari had undergone himself when his wife had walked out on him and their daughter...

After her frightening encounter with Sanskaar Maheshwari, Swara kept her distance away from him for some time... but oddly found herself intrigued by him. He was a mystery to her and she wanted to crack the case. Why did his wife leave after all? And does it have anything to do with his attitude now? ... Swara does not blame him for what happened that day. It was wrong of her to pry and it was right of him to admonish her for it. But she couldn't ignore the strong urge in her to find out more about him and Ananya that only grows by the passing days...Surprisingly to herself, she wanted this more than she wanted to learn about her own identity...

***********************

"He hates me," she sappily moans while placing her head in Ragini's comforting lap. Ragini fondly strokes her hair while shooting down her conclusion.

Ragini: Don't be silly... Bhaiya doesn't hate you...

Swara: Oh please Ragini... you are his sister... You're required to say that... I know it's true.

Ragini merely giggles at her plight.

Ragini: He doesn't even say anything to you...

Swara: Which is exactly why I know he hates me... He always acts so aloof whenever I do get the chance to see him.

Ragini: (shrugs) That is just how Bhaiya is... Waise Swara, may I ask why you call Bhaiya Mr. Maheshwari? He is not that old you know... Just few years older...

Swara: Ragini, he is a very intimidating man... I feel if I call him by his first name he will eat my head... Nah, baba, nah... I am fine calling him Mr. Maheshwari...

Ragini giggles at her words and Swara quietly allows her friend to run her fingers through her hair for a few moments before she speaks up once more...

Swara: Ragini, main ek baath poochu?

Ragini: (smiles) Swara, your questions will kill me one day... Poocho.

Swara: ... Does Mr. Maheshwari's attitude have to do with his wife leaving him?

Ragini's fingers still in Swara's hair and Swara raises up to meet her eyes as she hears no response from her. However, Ragini looks away"refusing to make eye contact with her.

Ragini: Please, Swara, not this again...

Swara: Why not? ... It will explain a lot. And it will help me to understand Mr. Maheshwari better... Why is it that his wife left him and Ananya? ... If she was happy with them, why would she suddenly decide to leave?

Swara would not reveal to Ragini of the strange attraction she shares for the father-daughter duo, of the mystery surrounded by the woman who left them that she yearns to hear more about. The Maheshwari family does not speak about her (as if she doesn't exist), do not even mention a name, and it raises the query in her further.

Ragini remains silent but stares at Swara in a helpless manner. Her eyes switch over to the open door and she gets up from the bed to close it. Cautiously she locks it and turns back to look at a curious looking Swara. As she approaches Swara at the bed, Ragini warns her in a whisper...

Ragini: If I tell you, you mustn't tell anyone that I told you...

Swara: Of course not...

Ragini: I mean it, Swara. No one...Do not even make the mistake of slipping it to Sanskaar Bhaiya otherwise you will see the last of me...

Swara's query grows as she notes the seriousness in Ragini's tone. Is the matter so serious that it cannot even be discussed? Hastily Swara nods her head to show Ragini she understands. She takes her friend's hand in hers.

Swara: Ragini, you can trust me... Please believe me.

Ragini: I do Swara... It's just that... (sighs) ... I am only telling you because I know you will never let this subject drop... So might as well tell you to give me some peace...

Ragini joins Swara back onto the bed and takes a long pause before proceeding into telling Swara the much awaited truth she has been waiting for since the past week...

Ragini: ... It has been more than two years now since Sanskaar Bhaiya married her... 9 months of which his wife left him... They married in September... It was a simple wedding for only close relatives and friends... They were madly in love and everyone could see it as well... They knew each other for a very long time, since childhood even... Sanskaar Bhaiya left to America though for further studies and then later on to pursue his MBA"so they lost touch... When he came back, they bumped into each other in Mumbai since she moved there herself... So they patched off from where they left off things... and Sanskaar Bhaiya discovered that he was in love with her. It was some time later that he proposed and she happily agreed... Kavitha joined our family and brought along with her happiness... It only doubled when she gave Sanskaar Bhaiya and us our Anu... But a month later she suddenly just left... with no explanation. She took her things with her and we have never heard or seen from her since... Bhaiya was absolutely crushed... He hasn't been the same since then... We have tried countless of times to search for her, hired private investigators, contacted the police, but all to no success. She can be anywhere... And we know now that she will not come back.

Silence fills the room as Swara processes this given information into her. She speechlessly stares at Ragini who wipes away a tear that managed to fall and turns to look at her.

Ragini: So if you are wondering if Bhaiya's attitude now has anything to do with his past... Then yes, you are right... It has everything to do with it. To this day he is unable to let go of it and the fact that the woman who he loves left without any sort of explanation...

After a stilling pause, Swara places her hand over Ragini's"silently thanking her for informing her. Ragini clears her throat and hastily springs up from the bed, alarming Swara. She notes the tears in Ragini's eyes build.

Ragini: (hastily) I am going to go check up on lunch... You cannot trust Ramu kaka with the food all of the time"who knows what crazy idea has popped up in his head now... Come down for lunch in ten minutes, Swara...

Swara: Ji...

Swara doesn't bother to stop her, knowing that she wants to be left alone from the lame excuse given to her. Her mind reels from what she has learned and she can't help but feel sympathy towards Sanskaar Maheshwari. The man has gone through so much, the woman who he loves has left him"she cannot blame him for the man he has become. She hopes dearly from the bottom of her heart that he manages to find happiness and start his life afresh...with no trace of Kavitha in it.
