PART TWO
Aaya wo fir najar ese Bat chidne lagi firse
Aakho me chubhta kal ka dhua
Hal tera na hamsa hai
Iss Khushi me kyu gam sa hai
Basnne laga kyu fir wo jaha
Wo jaha dur jisse gaye the nikal
Firse yado ne kar di hai jaise pehel
Lamha beeta hua Dil dukhata raha
Khamakha bevajah khwab bunta raha
She stopped at the moment she saw him. She was stunned to find him there. She didn't expect him there. Her face was reflecting so many emotions... surprise, shock and much more. Everything happened five years back flashed before her eyes once again.
FLASHBACK:
"Swara, are you really serious? He never loved you. He was just with you for revenge, his revenge. Yes, he did come into your life, but only to destroy you, only to punish you; I am amazed how come you couldn't see his real intentions. In his entire life he had loved only one girl and that's me, for me he can do anything, any damn thing, could even spoil your whole life and that's what he is doing. The upcoming event is your biggest opportunity na, he will turn it into a disaster, you and your singing career will be finished. And leave that career thing aside...you know what's more bad? You didn't believe in love and trust right...see Sanskar had made you both to love and trust him...and now he will leave you...to hate love again...THAT IS YOUR PUNISHMENT".
Swara was shocked to hear all this from Kavita. Swara was about to slap her for the nonsense she was uttering but the last sentence she heard from Kavita tied her hand to herself. Swara was an introvert person. She hardly opened up to anyone. Sanskar was the only person who knew about Swara's trust issue because she told him about them. How does Kavita come to know about this?... Sanskar told her? So many questions were ringing in Swara's mind and she decided to get answer to her every question.
"Why are you telling me all this now? You are his love right...then what made you betray him and be true to me?? And moreover what made you think that I will doubt him and will believe you?" Swara who wasn't even come out of the shock by listening about the truth of the person she loved more than her life but she had to get her answers.
"Swara Swara Swara ", Kavita said mockingly to her . "Tum bhi na Swara, kyu aur kaise kar leti ho tum us par itna bharosa...I feel so sorry for you girl ...Well fine then let me show you something after which I don't think you will be in state to ask anything else "...Kavita took out her phone from her bag and played some audio recording ...
"Kavita ...I won't leave her ...at any cost ...mai uski zindagi barbad kardunga ...uske vajah se mere PYAR ne jitna bhi suffer kiya hai na usse kahi jada usko karna padega ...I will finish her ...I will fake love with her ...will fake a relationship with her and eventually will left her with nothing "
Hearing all this tears brimmed in Swara's eyes, but she somehow held herself from breaking down.
"Maine tumhara esa kya bigada tha Kavita?", Swara asked her still trying to be calm.
"Now you came to the point ...You remember that inter college competition held in Mumbai? Before 2 months...when you weren't in this college... That was meant to be win by me ...NOT BY YOU", Kavita shouted at her revealing her aggression and fury after losing. "Kavita ne kabhi haarna nahi seekha aur tumhare vajah se... ". Swara looked at her in utter disbelief, just because she won that competition and couldn't win by Kavita ...all this just because of that...
"And about Sanskar... as I told you before also ...he loves me so much that he can destroy anyone's life who will dare to upset me" Kavita continued again.
THAT'S IT... Swara couldn't take it anymore and she ran away from there.
She reached her home and broke down. She fell down on her knees, "Kyu Kyu Kyu ? Why did you do this? I loved you more than my life and you ...you were just faking everything ...every damn thing just because your girlfriend couldn't win that competition ... JUST BECAUSE OF ONE COMPETITION". She cried out loudly not being able to tolerate the pain anymore. She started throwing everything around her in anger and hurt. At that day she left delhi forever without meeting anyone, without talking to anyone.
FLASHBACK ENDS:
Anger was visible on her face. Sanskar's happiness had no bounds .At last, Finally he found her .Now he can tell her everything, he can tell her that he loves her only .He was about to take a step towards her but the sight in front of him held his legs right there.
A cute little girl around 4 years old came and hugged Swara by her knees.
"Mumma" .
Hearing that girl calling Swara MUMMA, Sanskar's heart broke into million pieces. He was shattered beyond limits. Though after what he did to her, he did know he should be punished and he was even ready for any punishment from her ...but in this way ...NO ...He thought in his mind, "MUMMA , matlab Swara ne shadi karli??".
Swara's attention was caught by the little one who was hugging her. She lifted her up and went towards her home ignoring Sanskar completely as if she didn't even see him.
Swara did put her daughter down and took out the keys from her bag. Opening the lock they both went inside the house. She was about to turn the door off but Sanskar kept his hand on the door so that Swara could not close it.
"Swara please, Mujhe tumse bat karni hai ", Sanskar asked in a pleading tone . His eyes were reflecting how badly he wanted to talk to her. They were reflecting the pain...pain of hurting her, guilt...guilt of breaking her trust and much more.
"Excuse me? ... sorry but I don't know you and I don't talk to strangers ... so please you better leave from here", Swara replied in a stern tone not looking in his eyes and tried to close the door.
But Sanskar pushed the door little, "Swara please ek bar meri bat to sun lo ", Sanskar was trying hard to talk to her but she wasn't ready to listen.
Before she could answer him back her gaze went to her back where she found her daughter clutching her saree and pulling it a little bit asking, "Mumma , ye uncle kaun hai ?" Her daughter questioned Swara about Sanskar in her cute childish voice. Her little eyes were reflecting the curiosity by seeing a new person talking to her mumma.
Swara bent down to her daughter's length and placed her hand on her cheek, "Koi nahi hai Jiyana , mumma nahi janti inhe , and don't call him uncle". Swara was trying to make her daughter understand that she don't know the person and Jiyana should not call him uncle.
Swara stood up and turned back to Sanskar, " Why are you still standing here ?I guess I made myself very clear that I don't know you ...If you didn't understand in first place then I am repeating again ...I DONT KNOW YOU ...NOW LEAVE". She said emphasising on she doesn't know him. Her tone was becoming more rude now. Swara was trying her best not to shout as her daughter was standing there and she didn't want her to witness all this.
Sanskar glanced at Jiyana for a moment and pulled Swara outside of her home. By one hand he closed the door a bit so that Jiyana could not hear them.
"Swara please , I know I know tum bohot gussa ho ...lekin please ek chance to do justify karne ka ? 5 sal pehle bhi tum bina kuch bole chali gayi thi ...pagalo ki tarah dhoond raha hu mai tumhe pichle 5 salo se", Sanskar was now becoming restless , after 5 years ...5 damn years he had found her and she is not ready to even recognise him. He was having hard time with himself.
Swara jerked his hand making her hand free from his hold. Disgust, hurt, anger everything was visible in her eyes. One thing that Sanskar couldn't see in her eyes was Hatred - he tried reading her eyes but he didn't find hatred for himself in her eyes. So does that mean she still love him? Sanskar was having hard time with himself.
"Ok fine ... look Sanskar mujhe tumse koi bat nahi karni ...5 sal pahle jo hona tha ho gaya ...mujhe na hi uss bare me tumse kuch sunna hai aur na hi kuch kehna hai ... meri beti andar mera intezar kar rahi hai and I don't want her get a slightest idea about this ...tum jao yaha se ", Swara turned back to the door . A lone tear rolled down her cheek. Seeing him after these many years, it was hard for her too to control herself from breaking down. She was on the verge of falling apart but still somehow holding herself for her daughter's sake.
"Thik hai ... Tum bat karna nahi chahti aur mai bat kiye bina reh nahi sakta , tum jab tak meri bat sun nahi leti mai yaha se kahi nahi jane wala ", Sanskar told her in his firm voice. His determination was reflecting in his voice. He had waited for this moment only, he was searching for this like a mad from past 5 years and finally when he had found her, he won't give up at any cost.
Tears rolled down Swara's cheeks. She closed the door entering inside without turning back at him. "Mumma, kya hua, aap kyu ro rahe ho ", Jiyana asked Swara noticing that her mumma was crying.
Swara immediately wiped off her tears and picked Jiyana and went towards dining table. Placing her on the dining table, "Kuch nahi Jiyana , wo mumma ke eyes me kachra chala gaya tha na bas isliye".
"Mumma idhar aaao", little Jiyana signalled Swara to come near her.. Swara was unable to understand what was Jiyana upto,"Mumma jaldi ",
Swara sat on the chair. Jiyana kept her little palm below Swara's eyes and started blowing air in her eyes.
Swara was awestruck seeing her daughter's love and care for her. She immediately embraced her in her arms cuddling Jiyana close to her and their whole day went like this.
