Hey everyone...

To be continued...

Swara opened her eyes and her eyes turned red due to tears. She instantly turned away her face and blinks so that tear may not fall. She wiped away her tear from corner of her eye then look down.

Pandit ji announced that pooja is complete after chanting some mantras. He told them to take blessing from God. Sanskar nods and helped swara. They closed their eyes in front of God idol , joining their hands.

Sanskar:( monologue) I know I m lying to my family and when they will know the truth they will be hurt but God, u also know why I m doing this. I and swara are not married ,yet we completed this pooja, please forgive us for that. Its wrong but I want to confess what I really felt. My heart didn't felt it wrong when I filled her hairline with sindoor.  Why? I don't have any answer for that. I said sorry because my mind was saying it's wrong but heart was against it.  I really got worried when I find her in pain. I can't see her like that . It was affecting me so much. Please make her fine soon.

He opened his eyes and turned his face at his side and find her with closed eyes. She was praying to God. He kept looking at her like moment Stop. He was mesmerized to see her innocent face, her closed eyes, her hair strands floating with air.

Sanskar:( monologue) I don't know what is it god? But with her ,I don't feel anything wrong. Everything feels so right.

Swara: ( monologue) what is this happening with me god? And why? Why can't I able to get some relief from these restlessness . I m finding myself getting more stuck in all this. I have done another wrong thing by doing this pooja when I know, this is not for me and sanskar. I tried to stop it but I don't have courage to tell them the truth and see them hurt. I m not able to understand what should I do? What is right ? Pls help me..

She opened her eyes and at her side to find him looking at her. 

Sanskar: shall we?
Swara gave  small nods and started to move when she winced in pain and stumbled. Sanskar immediately hold her before she fall. Swara hold his shoulder and look at him.
Sanskar:( get angry) have u gone mad? U r injured then why r u pulling stunt? I m here with u na?

Swara kept quiet looking at him continuously.
Sanskar : come now, I will help u.

Ap: thank God, pooja is done. I thought we have to cancel it because swara go hurt.

Sujatha: yes jiji.. swara, u r okay na?is it still paining much?

Swara: no mom, I m fine.

Sanskar heard it and he realised something. Laksh words "suppose someone is unable to climb up then what will happen to their pooja.."
The next moment, she got hurt. That means she did it purposely to avoid pooja. How can he ignore it. He was too worried for her to think anything. He didn't care about anything when he saw her squeezing her eyes in pain and holding her leg. He just couldn't see her in pain but it was done by her only. He thought may be she got injured accidentally. How can he miss that? She purposely step back when she was walking with him..He never thought she will do something like that. She hurt herself.

He looked at swara who was talking with sujatha and ap. He got too much angry and fist his hand to control his anger. He go to them.

Sanskar: mom, pooja completed na?
Sujatha: yes sanskar, it's done.
Sanskar: then I think we should leave now. Swara is injured and she needs rest now.
Rp: yes sanskar,u r right. we are leaving only.
Dp: ok pandit ji.. we will leave now.
Pandit ji nods and bless them.

Sanskar: shall we go swara?
Swara didn't noticed the anger in his voice.
Swara: ok..
Sanskar took her in his arm.
Swara look at him then say: sanskar, Its not paining much. I think I can walk now..
Sanskar: u already did what u thought. don't say or do anything more that turn worst for u.
Saying this he started walking .

Swara get confused with his sudden anger.
Swara: sanskar what happened? Why r u angry?
Sanskar: why? Do I need permission for that? Do u do everything after informing me?
Swara: sanskar? What r u talking about? I m not understanding?

Sanskar: but I understood everything. It's just, how stupid of me that I realised it late. And please don't say anything further swara because I won't be able control my anger more.

Swara kept silent. She was looking at him but he was looking forward , really in angry mood.

They near to their car. Laksh open the car door. Sanskar made her sit carefully, not hurting her. He go and sit in passenger seat with laksh on driving seat. Everyone gets in car and they started to go mm.

After sometime ,
They reached mm. Sanskar come inside their room taking swara in his arm. He made her half on the bed carefully , making her support with bedpost.

Swara: sanskar, I m sorry.. because of me.. u r getting problem. U had to carry me like this..

Sanskar: shut up swara! U r not any problem for me. Just get that in ur mind.

Swara: then why r u angry with me?

Sanskar: really?? u think I m angry because I had to help u.
Swara: that's what I want to know ?

(Sanskar Closed his eyes for a minute, trying to control anger then say) why did u do that? Why did u hurt urself?

Swara: sanskar..
Sanskar don't try to lie swara. I know u did it to stop pooja.

Swara: sanskar, we didn't have any choice so I just..
Sanskar: so u will hurt urself for that? And whether this plan didn't work ,or if it worked then also , still it was really worst idea. 
Don't try to do all this. See ,how much u got hurt. It was just a pooja . Swara, I can see anything but I can't see u getting hurt because of me. I just don't accept it. Think twice before doing like this again.

Swara: sanskar, I m sorry but.. I wasn't getting anything to do . I thought if this could stop us from doing wrong then..

Sanskar: swara, u could have lied also na.. what was the need to do it?

Swara: how much I lie sanskar, every single time.. I m lying to this family. It is just not right. And today because of lies only u had to apply sindoor in my hairline sanskar.. I just tried to stop that situation but couldn't.

Sanskar immediately cups her face with his both hand and said controlling his and anger and a bit sad voice, looking into her eyes.

Sanskar: but not on cost of hurting urself swara? Don't do that ever. I felt like I will get mad when I see u in pain.

Swara look at him. She thought he was angry but actually he was hurt, sad. Was it really because of her ? The way he was holding her face and looking at her saying everything, how much concerned he is for her. There was something more which she couldn't really understand.

Swara put her hand over his on her face say:  I m fine. Don't worry sanskar,  please. Now it's not paining also.

Sanskar: just never do that again.
Swara: I won't.. I promise.

Sanskar: let me see it, I will apply ointment.
Swara: no sanskar, i will do that.

Sanskar look at her but didn't said anything. He open the drawer and took out the ointment and sit near her leg. He moved up her saree a bit. He saw her ankle swelled up. He look at her as she lied that she is fine.

Sanskar: this is what u say fine?

Swara looked down as she doesn't have the answer.
Sanskar didn't anything further and apply ointment carefully not hurting her. Then he take out a tablet and give it to her with water.

Sanskar: take it. It will subside pain.
Swara nods . She took tablet and drink water.

Sanskar: now take rest.

Swara nods.

Night:

Swara woke up. She didn't see anyone in room. Then see the time, it was 8:30 p.m. her eyes open wide.. she slept for more than 6 hours, may be due to medicine affect. She sees her ankle, swelling became much low.it wasn't paining much so She slowly put her leg down and get up from bed with support. She didn't felt much pain. It was subsided. She smiled thinking how sanskar took care of her , so thanks to him. She find herself still in saree that she wore in morning. She didn't change .  She walks slowly and go to cupboard.
" Bhabhi, u woke up?" Uttara said coming inside.
" How r u feeling now?"she asked.
Swara: I m better now.
Uttara: bhai, just went downstairs as badi maa called him so he told me to be with u till u wake up.
Swara: it's ok. U can go now.
Uttara: are u sure? Do u need anything?
Swara: no , thank you.
Uttara: ok bhabhi, and yeah..mom strictly told u not to come downstairs. She will send ur and Bhai dinner in room only.
Swara: ok..
Uttara: take care bhabhi.
Swara nods. Uttara leave.
She take out her clothes then go to Washroom.
She hanged her cloth. And turned around to wash her face.
She look at her face then her eyes snapped at her hairline that was filled with vermilion. She remembered everything again. She closed her eyes as She got flashes of how sanskar filled her hairline, how he took her in his arm, his concern for her in his eyes, a different emotion that she couldn't read in his eyes, the way he hold her face gently,.
Her mind shift to the thought of other moments of their closeness, the dance, hugging her from back and nuzzling in her hair, their eyelock,his breathe falling over her face and the way she was loosing herself closing her eyes, the moment when they were almost going to kiss each other..

" Stop it please!! Stop it! " She screamed to herself and opened her eyes with jerk. She open the water tap and washed her face and then look up.
She closed her eyes again but this time in pain.
" I can't let it happen, I can't do that.. He Loves Someone Else"  She whispered to herself in broken voice and a tear slide down her from her eyes mixing up with water on her face.

Sanskar come inside room and didn't find swara. He checked in balcony to see her but she wasn't there and come inside then only washroom door opened. He saw swara coming out ,changed in her night suit. She was walking slowly and lost in her thoughts and didn't noticed him.

Sanskar: how r u feeling now?
She jerked out of her thoughts and look at him. She immediately covered her face with forceful smile and said.

Swara: I m fine now. It's not paining much. Thank you.
Sanskar: ok , but don't stress on ur wound much and take rest.

Then only sujatha came with a maid to give them dinner.
Maid put dinner on the table and go. Sujatha go to swara. She asked if she is fine or not? Swara smiled assuring her that she is fine. Sujatha pats her face and told her to have dinner and take medicine and take rest.

Swara nods. Then sujatha go.
Swasan have dinner. Sanskar talked to her . Swara just hmmed absent mindly. After that they laid on the bed to sleep but sleep was yet again far away from their eyes. They were facing back to each other.

Screen splits on their faces lost in their thoughts.

That's all for today's episode. Will be back soon with next. Till then, take care.. bye everyone.
