" I don't need any justification Swara! You always do what you want! You played that cutting your wrist game, you never thought what your Sanskar will feel! You took Bade Papa sign just like that! Never felt to tell about it to me! You got to know about Adrash bhai kidnapping Chotu, but you never felt to let me know about it! Why Swara? Don't I deserve to know all these!"
Swara held Sanskar arms as she tried to calm him down- No Sanskar! Esa nahi hai! You are not understanding! Sanskar I know that mein tumhe bohot pareshan karta hu! Mein tumse kabhi kabhi bohot kuch chupa thi hu...but mein bolna chahti thi! About chotu...lekin ragini ne mujhe mana kia...ki agar adhrash bhaiya chotu ko hurt karne ki koshish kare toh...
Sanskar put his hand on his forehead as he feels totally frustrated - Swara...Swara! Tum...you know what! Tumhari ek hi problem hai...har cheez tum akele solve karne ki koshish karti ho! You could have give me a hint at least! Kuch toh bata dia hota...warna aj ye din dekhna nahi parta hume!
Swara in tears - Sanskar tum mujhe...tumhe lagta hai iss sabki waja mein hu?
Sanskar sighs- Swara...i am not blaming you! But...tumhari galtiyo ko toh mein nazar andaz nahi kar sakti! Mein janti hu tum galat nahi thi! Par tumhe mujhe batana chahiye tha na? Adhrash bhaiya almost successful hogya tha sabkuch apne naam karwane keliya! Woh toh bas end mauke...
Before the conversation goes further, Sanskar mobile started ringing.
Sanskar received the call- Hello! Yeah just a minute! No Sir esa bilkul nahi hai... okay Sir! I am just coming!
As he cut the phone, Sanskar hurriedly took a file and started to go out when Swara called him- Sanskar! Kaha ja rahe ho?
Sanskar looked at her from side- Urgent Call Hai! Mujhe Lucknow jana hai!
And he started to walk out of the room when Swara said sadly- Mujhe bye bhi nahi kahoge?
Sanskar turned around and glared at Swara- Swara please! Tum nahi janti tum aur ragini ne kitni bari musibat kardi!
Saying this he left the room. Swara kept looking at the door from where he left with tears beaming in eyes.
Swara whispers- I am sorry Sanskar! Mujhe se Naraz maat raho please!
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
Swara wiped off her tears from her cheeks as she remembered that moment...the last time she met with her Sanskar! She waited for hours and days...but Sanskar didn't appear at the door from where he left!
Swara started to weep once again as she cursed her fate and herself as she realised...her one mistake made everything wrong just wrong !
She laid on the floor not caring about her injury as she cried all the night like the other nights. She didn't realise when she fell asleep on the floor admist of crying.
*********
Just like other day morning happened, Sun rose and ray of light passed through the curtain entering the room.
Swara flickered her eyes in her sleep. The tears on her cheeks were already dried up. The ray of light touched her eyelids disturbing her sleep. Something was different! She felt...
Swara opened her eyes slowly as she blinked twice to shoo off the sleep.
Swara slowly turned aside and looked at the small portrait of Sanskar on the bed side table and smiled - Good Morning Sanskar!
She misses waking up in Sanskar 's arms in the morning. She sighs sadly. And suddenly realisation hit her.
She looked around quickly and realised she was sleeping on the bed.
Just then all the flashes of last night came to her. All she remembered after last night incident, she limped to her room, cried and cried , then slept on the floor.
As far she remember she didn't even walk towards the bed then how she landed here!
Swara sat up on the bed with a jerk. Suddenly she realised , something is touching her feet!
She slowly removed the blanket from her feet and got shocked to the core. One of her feet was bandaged partially while in other foot a small plaster was sticked on her thumb finger.
Who the hell did first aid to her ! And she didn't even realise? What the heck is happening! Who came to her room last night!
********
" Mr Malothra! I have already told you! You will get 50 percent profit out of whole deal! And still you are hesitating to sign the papers! Very bad! But I understand Salo purana rishta hai...upar se a very loyal secretary! But Jab Mein Keh Rahi hu Apko 50 percent profit milega matlab milega! Bas app mujhe woh papers sign karde! I need to dissociate the Karma Company from Maheswaris and Sons company very soon! App kar rahe na sign?"- A man in black tee speaks facing his back towards the mirror.
" Good! Hoping for a good news by tomorrow! Good bye!"
As soon as the call was cut the man spoke to himself - I will get the Karma Company Back! Soon! And The Game will start...
*******
Swara was highly confused about who actually tied bandage in her foot. Just as she was lost in her thoughts...someone knocked the door making her come out of her thoughts.
It was Uttara who spoke from outside of closed door- Bhabhi...Apko...Ragini Bhabhi niche bula rahe hai!
Swara stammered nervously - Ha...woh mein abhi ready hoke ati hu!
Uttara- Okay Bhabhi! By the way, I hope apka feet abhi thik hai!
Swara smiled inwardly, Uttara is only person present in the house who still shows genuine concern about her.
Swara- Yes Uttara! I am fine..Tum tension maat lo!
Uttara smiled and left from there.
Swara sighed as she put her one foot on the floor and slowly put pressure and winced in pain- Oucchhh! Ah...
Inspite of the pain Swara got up holding the side table.
She slowly limped towards the bathroom.
********
Everyone was in chirpy mood in dining table today.
Sujata was feeling excited for some weird reason- Jiji Mein toh kehti hu ki bhaisa ko ek bohot bari party deni chahiye iss khuski ki mauke pe! Bohot mahino baad kuch acha hua!
DP chuckled slightly as he said- Profit toh hote rehte hai! Isme nya kya hai? Issi baat pe party koi matlab naahi banta!
AP- Nahi jeee...Kafi arse baad hume ek achi khabar mili hai! Humara company phirse No 1 pe agya! Mithayi toh banti hai phir party kiu na sahi!
Just then they heard a voice - Aammm...Ragini Tum...Tum Mujhe khi..kilaoge!
Ragini holding Sanskar from should while Laksh walking by the other side of Sanskar - Ha Sanskar Aj app humare haat mein khayenge! Khush??
Sanskar nodded his head quickly - Hmm...Hmmm...Hume Kheer khana hai!
Sujata smiled seeing her son while became sad at same time - Sanskar mein thare liya kheer bana lati hu! Tu athe bhet!
Ragini made Sanskar sit in the dining table.
Sanskar looked happily all around gleefully.
Just then Swara started to descend downstairs slowly. Swara looked at the dining table and found everyone busy like other days. Swara smiled. Just then her eyes fell on Sanskar who was doing weird antics and Swara found it cute. She smiled at herself seeing him. Swara slowly went downstairs, as she heard Sanskar saying impatiently - Mom...Kh...Kheeer! Kheer Do!
Sujata quickly - ha mein bana raha hu thare liye kheer! Tu aram se bhet athe!
Sanskar turned more impatient - No...No..Mujhe abhi..abhi chahiye! Mujhe kheer chahiye!
Sujata got scared seeing Sanskar getting impatient , she tried to calm him down- Ha thare liye bana raha hu mein kheer!
Swara thought to interrupt seeing such condition of Sanskar - Mein bana deti hu kheer Sanskar keliye!
Every member present at that moment noticed her for first time and moved their attention from Sanskar to her.
Sujata gave an annoying look.
Before anyone could react, Sanskar jumped of his seat and started screaming - No...No...Chudail! Chudail mar...mardalegi mujhe...hhhmmm...Chudail! No...
Ragini quickly held Sanskar hands as she said- Nahi Sanskar kuch nahi hoga! Woh...Chudail nahi hai! App shant hojayeya!
Swara became upset seeing such reaction from Sanskar.
Sujata looked at Swara angrily - Thare ko problem kya hai chori? Koi Jarurat na hai kheer banane keliye! Mein khud banalungi kheer apne chore keliye!
Swara looked at Sanskar who was still behaving slight wild...
[FLASHBACK]
It has been 3 hours since Sanskar went for Lucknow. He must be on the way by now. But she did expected a single call from him. But maybe he is way too angry to call her. Swara sighed as she sat on her bed feeling dejected. She knows well her husband can't remain angry with her for long time.
Just then an idea hit her!
What if she surprises him by a mini dinner date to cool down his anger a bit and will ask forgiveness again from him by then. He will be happy to get beautiful date from her when he comes home tomorrow.
Next day, it had been near 24 hours but Sanskar didn't even message her, forget about calling!
But she didn't loose hope...when he will come home she will do everything to make him understand.
By night she arranged a beautiful candle night dinner and informed everyone in the house that she won't eat dinner with them as she will eat dinner with her Sanskar when he comes home. She made his favourite kheer and decorated it with dry fruits.
She was happily waiting for him...
And the clock stuck 12 o clock midnight. But he still hasn't arrive...
According to Bade Papa Sanskar would be here by 11 at night as he informed him so.
Swara thought he must be got in jam or left late from Lucknow...
But things got more tensed when it became 2:00 am already but Sanskar didn't come.
Swara had already fall asleep keeping her head on sofa by waiting for him.
She became worried suddenly as she saw it 2 at night. And everyone was fast asleep and Sanskar still didn't come.
Something was not right Swara felt...
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
Swara came back to present as Ragini clicked her fingers in front of her eyes.
Ragini questions - Kya hua? Yeha khare kiu ho? Jao bheto ! Nashta karte hai...
Swara nodded in denial - bhukh nahi hai!
Saying so Swara left from there leaving confused sad Ragini.
Swara ascending upstairs leaving the hall room when she felt someone was watching her. She slowly turned around and looked downwards. Her eyes fell on Sanskar with whom Laksh was trying to play some kidish game.
Swara smiled sadly, turned around and went upstairs.
Precap-
Swara is arranging Sanskar's bedroom...when suddenly she hears a low ringing tone of phone ringing in the room from somewhere.
