This is a short, unplanned insert after Chapter 44 because MusicAddict and CogitoErgoSum had set their hearts on knowing how Swara was 'punished'.
Insert Chapter 44a
Swara was begging for mercy.
"Sorry, sorry, let me go... I won't do it again!" She was doubled up on the bed, racked with giggles, muffled shrieks and futile attempts at escape. Sanskaar had discovered many delicious things about her last night but one, in particular, brought a gleam to his eyes: Swara was ticklish.
He let her have her breath back. But even as she panted, she had one wary eye out for his hands. He could be relentless!
"How can you scream like this, Swara? Is this any way for a Maheshwari bahu to behave?" he asked her piously.
"Achcha?!" she asked, roused to ire. First he made her laugh so much, the sound must've echoed through the house to even reach Ghanshaam and Kamla in the kitchen... and then he had the gall to question her bahuness!
She scrambled up and managed to pin him down - succeeding mainly due to the fact that she took him completely by surprise.
"There! Serves you right!" she said, triumphantly.
"Err..." he said.
"You said something?" she asked him haughtily.
"Tum mere upar ho, Swara," he said carefully.
"Yes, and wrestling rules ke hisaab se haar gaye tum, samjhe?" she asked.
"Aisi haar toh kismatwalon ko milti hai, Swara!" He was biting back a grin.
"Hmm?" she frowned down at him.
"A well-stacked, smoking hot Bengali babe is lying on top of me... how is this a defeat exactly?" he asked reasonably.
She scrambled off him hastily, blushing red. "You... you are just.. just..." she cast her mind for a suitable adjective but couldn't find one... "just... a very bad person!"
"And you... Shona," he said, sitting up and pushing her hair off her embarrassed face, "...are adorable!"
She was pouting now, throwing dark glances at him. He pulled her onto his lap, his fingers stroking the bare skin between her cropped T shirt and her harem pants... "We're on the same side, baby..." he said, his lips inches from hers, "I win if you win and you win when I do... and Swara? I like to win!"
"I'm beginning to like it too..." whispered Swara and closed the gap.
