"Sanskar wait.. give him sometime." Swara said assuringly.
" But swara, he..." Sanskar was saying when Arav interupt.
" Swara is saying right, Sanskar. He will be fine. May be, he would think to talk to her once Or anything" Arav said.

Sanskar nods.

Laksh go out of restaurant when he saw her again. She was starting her scooty.  He suddenly feels angry. He immediately go to her and took out the keys.

Tanya get confused and look up to see him. She thought to talk casually. She smiled at him fakely.

" Hi Laksh" Tanya said.
" Hi Tanya, How are you?" Laksh asked plainly.
" Good, how are you?" Tanya asked with small smile.
" Just a bit surprised because I wasn't expecting to see you again neither I wanted to." Laksh said in rude tone.

Riya who was talking on phone and came out. She disconnected the call and then find Laksh.

" What is he doing here? Everyone is inside only na? I should call him." She thought.

" I was.." Tanya was about to say something to laksh when both heard Riya.

" Laksh" Riya said confusingly. She was coming toward them.
Laksh turned around to see her. Tanya also see her.

" Laksh, what are you doing here? ( Noticed Tanya) oh, you both were talking I guess. That's ok. I m..." Riya said smilingly.

"No Riya, I was going inside only. Anyway, meet Tanya, my old friend (said in sarcastic tone but Riya didn't noticed) and tanya, this is Riya.. My Finance.." laksh said with smile and wrapped his arm around her shoulder in side hug.

Riya get shocked. She looked at him with wide eyes.

" Laksh, wh..." Riya was about to say something but then only she felt him tapping his finger on her shoulder so she didn't say anything. She just smiled awkwardly and nods.

Tanya look at Riya. She face expression turned pale as she heard she is his fiance. She tried to compose herself and smile.

" Congratulations. I m happy for you. You both look good together." Tanya.

" Thank you." Riya said with fake smile as Laksh didn't say anything , trying to read her expression.

"My keys please. I need to go." Tanya said looking at him.
Laksh  give it to her. Tanya took it.

" Bye Tanya.." Riya said.
" Bye." Tanya said. She started her scooty and go from there. After going a bit far, her eyes turned teary. She sighed and wipes tears and go.

After watching her gone. Riya hits his hand.
" Now, will you tell me.. what was that?" Riya asked him.

" What the hell was that!!" Both heard Arav.
They turned around to find him. 

After paying bills they come out of restaurant when they saw Riya with Laksh and Tanya too. Then only they heard laksh introducing Riya as his fiance. Arav's mouth open wide in shock. He was about to go to them but sanskar and Alok stopped him.

" What was that haan!! She is my fiance not yours." Arav said pulling Riya toward himself hugging her sideway.

" I just said.  I m not marrying Riya. You don't need to be jealous of me." Laksh said rolling his eyes.

" But laksh, why did you lie to her? And sorry but you guys didn't look like friends!" Riya said.

" She is the same girl " Arav said.
Riya look at Arav and he nods.

" But why did you lie to her laksh?" Sanskar asked.

"I was just telling her that I am not affected by her and I m moved on from her." Laksh said.

" For that you got my fiance only." Arav said with fake angry voice.

" Arav..." Riya said.
" Fine" Arav said.

" Anyway, I think we should leave now." Sanskar said.

Everyone nods. Swara thinks something. Sanskar called her. She nods nothing and they go to their car.

Night:
Laksh room:

Sanskar came inside room and find him standing in balcony.

" You are still thinking about her?" Sanskar asked.

" What to do? I could never took out from my mind and heart." Laksh said with sad chuckle.

"You get affected with her. I could see that." Sanskar said.
" I know and I can't deny that." Laksh.
" How she came here? Why don't you try to talk to her once?" Sanskar asked.
" It's not use to talk bhai and what should I talk. There was nothing ever, she never felt for me. Just played with my feelings."laksh said.

" Till when you will be like this?"sanskar asked.

" I don't know."Laksh replies.

" Just give yourself a chance laksh. You can't spend whole life like this. I never wanted to force you but till you won't try and decide what do you want to do then nothing will be fine." Sanskar said keeping his hand on his shoulder.

Laksh look at him and hugged him.

" I will bhai.." laksh said.

Swara who came to Laksh's room to ask about Sanskar, heard everything. She goes out of room thinking something.

Swasan room:

Swara changed in her night gown and came near dressing table immersed in her thoughts when she felt a pair of hand wrapped around them. She smiled and look up to him.

" So what's my wify thinking?" Sanskar asked looking at her through mirror.
" Sanskar, I was thinking about Laksh. Don't you think he should talk to that girl , Tanya once?" She said.

" Hmm I know. But it's not good to force him either. I talked to him. I hope he think something that will be better for him." Sanskar said.

" Hmm.. you are right." swara turned around and said with smile.

He kissed her forhead and she hugged him leading him to smile and hug her back.

Next day:

Swara went to same restaurant. She look for Tanya and then find her. She goes to her.

" Excuse me?" Swara says.
Tanya turned around and look at her with questionably.
" Tanya Sachdev, right?" Swara asked.
" Yes but I don't remember I know You or not." Tanya said.
" I m Swara Maheshwari, Laksh's Bhabhi." Swara said with smile.

Then Tanya remember she saw her last night but she didn't remember because she was concentrated on Laksh only.

" Oh, Hello. " Tanya greet her with smile.
"I want to talk to you about something. Can we?" Swara asked.

Tanya got idea what she want to talk but she nods.
" Ok, You please have seat. I will just come." Tanya said.
Swara nods. She go and take seat.

After a couple of minutes Tanya came there.
" See Tanya, I know you must have guessed it already that I know about you and Laksh. But it was a little unbelievable that a girl can fake her love just for a bet. That's why I wanted to talk to you because I don't fix opinion just by listening but it's not that I don't trust Laksh also. It's just that it may be some misunderstanding also. So can you tell me what exactly happened.

" Why do you want to know? What's done is done. There's no way to correct it. It's too late." Tanya said.

"You are right. Nothing can be undone because it's life not any movie. Still I want to know. And don't worry Laksh didn't send me To talk to you. Neither he will come to know if you don't want. So please tell me."

Tanya look at her then nods.
" Even though I know it's can't change anything still I will tell you. May be I will feel better." Tanya said then continued..

"Laksh was two year senior to me when I joined University. I remember my first day when I saw him and got attracted toward him in just that moment. He was my first ever crush because before that I never gave a look to any guy. I was crazy and bubbly type girl but when comes to him, my all bubbliness and confidence used to fly in air. with passing day, I came to know  that it wasn't just crush, something more than that. I thought few times to tell him my feelings but I stopped everytime thinking.. what if he reject and everyone will make fun of me. It would have been going like this only untill One day, I was playing truth and dare in my hostel with my friends. and then it was my turn, they give dare to me that make Laksh say that he loves me because he was really popular in university but he never gave heed to any girl. That's what I really liked about him. What should I have told them that I only have crush on him. He might not even know me. But then I thought, if he will say he loves me then I can also easily confess. I should atleast try. I can't just supress my feelings like that. So, I said ok but I knew it in my Heart That I was doing it for myself ,not for any dare. I was really happy. From next day, I gathered some courage and started talking to him. I really hesitate and got nervous so much just standing in front of him but he always made me comfortable. With passing day, we met more oftenly, spent time together. I realised that I was totally fallen for him. It's been so many days, I felt that somewhere he also likes me. So, I thought whether he confess or not  I will tell him my feelings because I didn't want to hold it more. But that day only he confessed.
" I love you Tanya." he said  all of sudden, just after dropping me hostel.
I was so happy that I couldn't say a word. But I wanted to confess too. Before I could say..
" You don't need to say now only. You can take your time. May be I know your feelings too but I wanna hear it from you so you can think then say. " He said with smile and left from there.
I was so. Happy that day. I told my friends that he confessed. But then they told me that I have completed the dare. My face expression changed reminding it but It was all for me.. not for any dare. I told them. They felt happy for me and told me confess tomorrow. I smiled. I was so excited to tell him then I got call from india. That my dad health was not good so I needed to go to India. My flight was booked and I was ready to go. then I remembered about laksh. I don't wanted him to know about dare thing from someone else. I trusted my friends but still I didn't felt good like something bad going to happen. I was at airport already so, I called him as I wanted to meet him before leaving. But his phone was out of coverage area then my phone was also switched off due to battery dead. I couldn't go to his Flat also because my flight timings. Everything was going so wrong then I decided to leave a letter for him.
I wrote everything about the dare and  asked forgiveness from him. I also expressed my feelings for him telling him to wait for me and I will be back soon. I gave letter to my friend Sayesha and told her to give him.
I reached india next day and thought to call him but my phone was stolen. Still I went home. Dad was really not good. I lived in india for someday, taking care of him but I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Laksh. whether He will forgive me or not. Deep inside I was feeling He will forgive me Because I knew him. He was really good at heart. I didn't remember his no. Also neither any of my friends because my phone was lost. Laksh wasn't so active on social medias also, only one or two platforms so, I tried to reach him through but I couldn't got his account. I was confused.
After some days, dad was ok but still doctor told him to away from stress. He forced me to go back to London for study. I wasn't ready but he forced so I went. But I was also happy to meet Laksh finally. It was his convocation programme. I was little late. I saw him getting his degree.
After that, I go to him happily and I wanted to hug him but what he said gave me shock.

" Finally Tanya Sachdev is here. Wait.... Any Another dare?.. Couldn't you come one day later, atleast few moments later so that I could atleast leave from here peacefully." He said.

" Laksh, I.. I know that was a dare but.." I tried to say but he didn't listen .

" That only I wanted to listen from your mouth. I couldn't believe it after reading that letter. Well, I must say you are a great actress Ms. Tanya. You don't love me and I told you I love you, so your dare is completed." He said rudely in sarcastic tone and just leave from t here

I tried to stop him a lot  but he didn't listen. I was really confused. I asked forgiveness in that letter and also confessed that I love him then why did he say that I don't love him. I went to my hostel to ask Sayesha about it. And then I face the bitter reality of my friend whom I trusted. She told that she changed the letter. She was very good in copying others handwriting and she wrote another letter. She showed the letter I had given, was still with her. I was Shocked, how can she do this but she told that she did it because she didn't got her love because of me. I remembered that guy liked me. He purposed me but I rejected him. I was really angry on her but I didn't wanted to waste my time on that stupid girl. I just rushed from there to Laksh flat with that letter. But I didn't found anyone there. I asked from neighbours and came to know that he left that evening only. I was broken. I didn't had any way to connect him. I didn't knew his address. Days passed, I tried to reach him with every possible ways but couldn't succeed.
After two three months, I got news that my dad condition again deteriorated. I came Back to India leaving my exams but couldn't Save him. Later, I came to know that he had business stress since some day as he took A huge loan. So everything, bank balance, property, company all go in that loan settlement. I had nothing to do because my degree wasn't completed. Who could have gave me job so I worked in cafe and collected money and I got admission here in kolkata. Then I moved from Mumbai and came to Kolkata with my one friend. I got work in this restaurant. Now, I just do my work and earn just enough to pay my expenditure and complete my degree."

Tanya completed saying everything. Her eyes got wet and tear escaped from her eyes but she wipes it and then look at swara who was sad for her after listening everything. She wasn't wrong. It was just a misunderstanding that kept her and Laksh away from each other.

" Anyway, I m really very happy for Laksh. He is going to marry. Riya is really nice girl. It feels so peace to see him happy in his life. I thought to ask forgiveness from him and tell him everything when I will meet him but  now, it's no use to tell him anything. He had moved on and forgotten everything. It's good only.. anyway." Tanya said with sad smile.

Swara feels so bad for her. It wasn't just right. She hold Her hand.

" Tanya...." Swara said.
" No,. It's ok. I m fine." Tanya said looking at her.

" He is not getting married Tanya. He still loves you." Swara. Said.

Tanya get shocked.

" What?" Tanya said in mere whisper unbelievably.
