Swara blabbered everything unknown of the fact that someone has already heard her standing outside and it was none other Sanskar who came following her ,giving excuse of water.. and when he heard her, it make him feel nothing but hell and guilty of his deeds..

He was facing her back but he know that she was crying.

"Sanskar" AP came there.
Sanskar came into his sense. Swara who get shocked , immediately composed herself and wipes her tears before AP could come and notice her.

AP: Sanskar, why are you standing here? Did u take water?

Sanskar: yeah maa, I was just..

AP: then go-to hall, everyone is there. And Swara...
She go inside kitchen.
AP: Swara...?
Swara turned around as usual hiding her tears and pain with fake mask of smiling face.
Swara: ji maa..
Sanskar look at her totally shocked and now she was like that nothing happened. But still tear marks were there.

AP also sees this.
AP: Swara? What happened beta? Were u crying?
Swara:( wipes her corner eyes) no maa, it's just like that.. something went into my eyes..

AP: ohh.. let me see..
Swara: no I m fine now..
AP: ok come out,what are u doing here?
Swara: I was preparing for lunch. U pls go, I will come after wards.

AP: Swara.. leave it na.. why do u always stress urself for work. Come..
Swara: maa pls, I m saying na, u go.
AP: you are really getting stubborn nowadays, never listen to me. ( See Sanskar) Sanskar, now u only say something to ur wife. I m too tired to make her understand anything.. come soon.

Swara gave her forced smile and AP left from there. She look at Sanskar who was already looking at her . Their eyes met, it was like there eyes were expressing each other's inner feelings and pain, guilt, longingness  . But their eyelock didn't stay longer as Swara immediately diverted her gaze and turned around as her eyes started to filled again.
She take some veggies from basket and started cutting.

Sanskar gathered some courage and call her: Swara..

Swara stopped cutting and her heart skip a beat listening her name from him. It wasn't out of anger or rudeness. For the first time she felt calmness when he take her name. She didn't made any moment for a minute ,but then she again started doing her work.

Sanskar: swara.. ( again called her)
Her tear fell from her eyes but She was like she in busy in work and just hummed.
Swara: hmm..
Sanskar: Swara, how r you? I ,I don't know what to say.., I was trying to talk to you since so many days and..

Swara:( pressed her lips to gulp her tears ) everything is fine here. And it's good u came back. See na, how much happy all family members are. They all were missing u so much.

Sanskar: Swara.. why u always bring family members in between, I m talking to u..

Swara:( as if she didn't hear him) do you want anything Sanskar ji ? If not ,then all are waiting for you in hall .

Sanskar: Swara ,at least listen to me..

Swara:( continued) You should be there with them and enjoy ur time. Not here with someone like me. Pls go.

Sanskar was getting angry now as he listen her and it reminds him " A GIRL LIKE ME ". secondly she wasn't ready to listen to him and just blabbering herself. He move toward her, held her arm and jerk her such that the knife fall from her hand and she fall on his chest.

Sanskar: SWARA LISTEN TO ME !! What are you.... ( Stopped looking into her eyes)
his eyes soften after looking at her face. She was looking scared in to his eyes. A fresh tear fell from her eye only to make him realize " how broken she was" or how much he broke her". Swara look at her hand that was on his chest and arm was held by him. Sanskar realize the hold and loosen his grip. Swara feared if he will shout at her again, she removed her hand from his chest immediately as if she had done some mistake.

Swara: sorry.. I I .. I .. m sorry. I m sorry.
She separated herself from him and started moving backward.

Swara: I m really sorry.. I m sorry.. ( not looking at him)
Saying this she rushed outside wiping her tears.
Sanskar closed his eyes in pain and frustration , he gripped his fist tight and punch hardly on the wall that it hurt but Sanskar didn't care at all. He also come out but didn't find Swara.

Sanskar: maa where is Swara?
Sujatha: see jiji, he is so desperate for his wife that he can't stand for a min without her ( laughs).

AP: if it was like that then why didn't he took her with him and why did he left her here these months..

Sanskar face fell as he remembered the situation few months ago. AP was just teasing her but only he knows the reality, why Swara denied to go with him .

Sujatha: jiji don't tease him, see his face fell totally. You also know Swara couldn't go due to her work.
AP: I know, I was just pulling his leg. Your wife is in garden with Uttara. But firstly u go and fresh n up, then meet her. She will not run away.. ( laughs)

Sanskar:( monologue)that only I fear maa, she will go away from me. But I can't let that happen. I will never let her go. She became my life now. I will do anything for her and seek forgiveness from her. I can't change those times ,in which she only got hurt by me and felt pain but I promise I will give her so much happiness that she will forget those pain. I won't let tears fall from her eyes anymore ,she will have only a smile on her face.

Thinking all this Sanskar left to his room. But as he entered, again he felt sad. Everything was still the same, still in that position in which it was. Swara's bags were still in the corner behind cupboard. It was like Swara never touched or used his belongings even in his absence. Then something strike his mind, he immediately go to balcony and sees mattress still there ,that means Swara still sleep there in balcony.
He closed his eyes feeling disgusting on himself and gripped his fist tight. Do he even have any right to ask forgiveness?

Then he heard Uttara voice.. he look down in he garden where Uttara was sitting with Swara and she was massaging her head.

Uttara: are u feeling better now bhabhi? You know bhabhi, my hand is having some magic, you will see how ur headache will go soon..

Swara:(trying to stop her) arey uttara, why r u doing this? I said na ,I m fine..

Uttara: bhabhi, can't u sit quiet, u remember when last time I was having headache how u massaged, then let me do it . U know what, Uttara Maheshwari never take anyone's favour.. hahahaha...

Swara was smiling till now but then she remembered
" SANSKAR MAHESHWARI DON'T NEED ANYONE'S FAVOUR , I CAN HANDLE IT MYSELF.."
Her face fell suddenly.

Sanskar who was watching all this ,sees her expression changed and got what she was thinking.

Uttara: bhabhi, what happened? Did I say something wrong?

Swara composed herself and Immediately nods no.

Swara: no Uttara, I m fine. J was just thinking something else. Waise Uttara, u r gone so naughty day by day..

Uttara: hawwwe, bhabhi what r u saying I m too simple and innocent girl..

Swara:( smile) haan haan , I know.. but I like u the way u r Uttara.
Uttara: but u know bhabhi,u r the best bhabhi in this world. I just love u. U always understand me and there to support me. U r simple but still sometime I feel there's a lot of things inside u. U handle everything so easily, handle this whole house, everyone's need. But you never let us know what's your need, what's your choice?

Swara ( smiled) my need is u, this family, their happiness. When I see you happy, family Happy.. my heart feel good. And everyone love me, do you think I need anything else?

Uttara: then too bhabhi, there must be some dream which u want to fulfill..? Don't u have any?

Swara:( lost) there was a dream, but now there's nothing.

Uttara: ( confused) what?

Swara: nothing, leave it. I don't have any dream. ( Lied)
( Monologue) I have already sacrificed my dream for my love.

Uttara: but bhabhi..

Swara: Uttara, I m happy in what I have. I don't want anything else. Acha , leave all this ,you say why didn't you go college today..

Uttara: bhabhi, today is off.

Swara: that u told to family members, and it was lie. Now say why u skipped college today.

Uttara: bhabhi, hmm... Ok . So listen ,today that kadoos principal is going to give lecture whole day and I don't want to listen his boring lecture so I skipped it.. you know that Buddha...

Swara:( shocked) Uttara, he is your principal..
Uttara: leave it na bhabhi, he is such a frog. You know last time..

Uttara was telling her story and Swara started laughing listening the names she was giving to principal.
Sanskar sees her laughing first time and his heart skipped a beat. She was looking the most beautiful girl. He couldn't stop himself from admiring her and unknowingly smile appeared on his lips.
Then only Swara sees Sanskar who was standing in balcony. Her laugh faded and Sanskar notice it. She immediately diverted her gaze.

Swara: Uttara.. let's go inside now. I have..

Uttara: some work.. I know. Always!!

Swara: Uttara.. come let's go. U know na..

Uttara: arey haan, how can I forget.. Bhai also came na, we have to prepare lunch na.. come, I will help u and I m not listening anything else. Let's go bhabhi..

She hold her hand and drag her inside. Swara for once lift her eyes and look at him. Then go inside.

After sometime:

Sanskar get fresh n up and go downstairs. Everyone were there on the dinning table for lunch.

Dp: arey Sanskar, come beta have lunch.
Sanskar look for Swara but didn't find her. He came and take his seat beside Laksh.
Laksh sign him " what happened".
Sanskar nods nothing. Then only he see Swara coming out of kitchen with Uttara taking a bowl in her hand. She keep it on table.

Sujatha sees the bowl.
Sujatha: wow, you made kheer, it smell delicious.
Uttara: mom, why u get overexcited..?
Rp: she is like that only beta..
And laughed. Sujatha make fake angry face.

Swara started serving everyone, Uttara also help her. Swara served sujatha, and keep the bowl on the table.

Sujatha: Swara ,u didn't served Sanskar?
Swara look at Sanskar for once then say: Chachi ji, he don't like kheer..
Sujatha: oh yeah.. leave it , I will eat.
Sanskar gets disappointed. He actually want to taste it.
Sanskar: no.. actually I want to eat.
AP: but you don't like it na Sanskar?
Swara was confused.
Sanskar: yeah, but I should try it once na..
Saying this he took the bowl and serve himself. While other were surprised yet shocked.
Sanskar feels her gaze and look at her but she look other side.

AP: Swara ,u also sit.
Uttara: haan bhabhi, come sit.. I m toh very hungry. And today u will sit with Bhai, Hain na mom.

Sujatha: haan ,haan.. Swara sit.

Swara: but Chachi ji.. I will serve na..
Uttara: we will do it ourselves. You sit.
Before Swara could do something and try to stop her ,Uttara drag her and made her sit beside Sanskar.

As usual Swara didn't look at him. She started eating, Sanskar taste kheer and it was actually really tasty.

Sanskar: it's really tasty.. ( said looking at Swara)
Sujatha gave teasing smile to AP. AP also smiled. Swara heard him and was surprised.

Uttara: why not? After all bhabhi made it with so much love , hai na bhabhi?
Swara just passed fake smile.

Dp: ok ok, leave all that. Sanskar ,Laksh as u both come back from successful trip and our business is going to expand, me and ram has decided to keep a party tonight.

Uttara: wow .. party!!
All smile at her excitement.
Rp: hmm, so everyone get ready on time and yeah ,invite if there's anyone left.

After lunch. All were in hall discussing about party. Then Sanskar leave from there saying he is tired and want to take rest but stop in his track and say.

Sanskar: Swara, could u pls come ,I want to talk something important.

AP: u go Swara beta, we will handle it.
Swara nods and followed Sanskar silently but she got scared what he wanna talk but then something strike her mind and she smiled sadly. How can she forget that.

Sanskar came inside and Swara also come. Sanskar close the door. He turned around only to see Swara taking out something from her bag.

Sanskar: Swara, actually I ..

Swara: yeah, one min Sanskar ji..

She take out some papers from bag and come to him.
Swara: here it is, you wanted to ask about this only na?
Sanskar got confused. He took the papers and read it.

Swara: I have transferred that land on ur name , now u sign on it then u can...

Sanskar get shocked to see this. He has totally forgotten about this and he don't want that.

Sanskar: Swara but I..

Swara:you can check the papers for ur satisfaction. And I have signed on it too. U won't have any problem to claim it.. now it's all urs.

Sanskar: Swara, just a minute listen to me...

Uttara: Swara bhabhi..
( Uttara came Calling her name and knock on door).

Swara go to the door and open it.
Uttara: bhabhi, I hope I didn't disturb you but I need ur help.. pls pls..

Swara: it's ok Uttara, come let's go..

Uttara take Swara with her. Sanskar stand there still and sees the paper in his hand.
This is what he wanted few months back, for this only he tried to spoil her life. For this only, he betrayed her ,broke her heart. He should be Happy na, after all it's his WIN, he have won and now he can divorce her ,he will be all free from this unwanted relationship . This is what he thought few months back but unfortunately now things have totally changed, he is fallen for her, this is not his win. He is on the verge of loosing her. Once he wasn't ready to listen to her, not even wanted her around himself and now she pushed herself so away from him like she don't even have hope to be loved by him. What changed in her? Nothing, she was still the same like she was two months before, she talked too less . That too when it's important ,only to get a rude reply. She never have eye contact with him while talking And now also she don't. She was still suffering for his mistakes. Will he ever able to fix her broken heart for which he is only responsible..

Evening:
It was time to party. Sanskar was in room getting ready for party but still lost in his thoughts. He was waiting for Swara but she didn't came till now. All the time she was busy with family members as usual avoiding him. There was a time when he feel it's nice that she will not come near him in anyway but now it's feel hurt. To be avoided by someone whom u love. Then what about her feeling? What she felt since the time she came in this house?
Sanskar adjust his black charcoal suit looking in the mirror. Then only he felt two hands wrapped around his chest,like someone hugging him from back.
" Swara" he whispered.

He hold her hand and slowly pulled her in front. She was bowing her head down. He hold her face lovingly and made her look up into his eyes only to find it's filled with tears. He felt hurt. Her tears make him restless. His eyes also filled.
Sanskar: Swara,. I .. I am sorry..( chocking)
A tear fell from her eye, Sanskar immediately wiped it away .
Sanskar: Swara pls don't cry. I know I gave u so much pain.. but pls ,pls give me one chance, I promise I will rectify all my mistake pls swara. I m sorry Swara.. I didn't realize how precious u r to me, I didn't realize what u r to me.. and gave u so much pain. I m sorry Swara. I will bear any punishment u will give me but pls don't be away from me. I LOVE U SWARA.. I CANT LIVE WITHOUT U.

Swara listen these words and burst out crying. She immediately hug Sanskar and started crying clutching his suit in her tight fist. Sanskar also hugged her tightly, his one hand hold her waist and another was on her hair. He was also crying.

Sanskar: I m sorry Swara.. I m sorry.. I love you.

Swara( crying) I love u too Sanskar, I will die without u. I love u very much..

" Bhai" Laksh voice break him trance and bring him back to reality. Sanskar open his eyes only to realize it's his dream. Swara is not there. It's still the same situation as it was. He felt bad realizing it's dream. How much he wanted it be a reality.

Sanskar (monologue) it will happen soon Swara, I will confess my love soon.

Laksh: bhai, where are u lost?

Sanskar: nothing.
Laksh: have u talk to her?
Sanskar:( sad laughs) she is not even listening to me and talking to me properly.I don't know what to do Laksh.

Laksh: it's ok don't worry, everything will be fine.

Sanskar: I just hope..

Laksh: hmm, let's go now. It's time for party to start.
Sanskar nods and go with Laksh.
Guest started to come. They greet them and started talking casually. But Sanskar was looking for Swara,who was not seen anywhere.

Sanskar: maa, where is Swara?
AP: oh haan, she is with Uttara, she must be coming.
Sanskar: ok

Uttara room:
Uttara get ready in beautiful purple and white combination gown. Swara help her in getting ready and now Swara was getting ready. She didn't wanted to do much but AP gave her a saree and Uttara is helping her.

Swara: uttara, what's need of all this? Let it be na..
Uttara: because I want my bhabhi look best. Waise there is no competition of u but still, I m just applying little touch up. I already told u don't disturb me, it's my strict order.

Swara: yes Uttara ma'am.. ( smiled) but can I open my eyes now.
Uttara: no u can't.
Swara: ok..

After few min Uttara was done.
Uttara look at her and smiled.

Uttara: u know bhabhi, I should not say this but I m actually jealous of u, even i have only made u ready. You are looking so beautiful..

Swara: you don't need to be jealous Uttara Because u r really beautiful.. more than me. Now can I open my eyes.

Uttara: oh yeah sure bhabhi..

Swara stand up in front of mirror and open her eyes.

Swara saree

She was wearing red and black combination net saree. Her hair was curled and left open till her waist. She was wearing a earring and simple neck piece.. she wore few red Bangles in her hand, looking really adorable. She had applied sindoor and wore mangalsutra.

Swara: umm.. Uttara.. don't u think it's too much?

Uttara: bhabhi, I know u like to be simple but today is party in our house and u r Dil of Maheshwari family. There should be a grace and elegance of Maheshwari bahu ,right? And u r looking simple yet beautiful. you will see in today party how ,girls will come applying layers of make up.

Then sujatha call Uttara.
Uttara: yeah mom coming.. and bhabhi, ek min..

Swara: now what?
Uttara move her hair on one shoulder, resulting it to reveal her back as her blouse was having deep neck.

Uttara: acha let's go now.

Swara: u go, I m coming..

Uttara: ok.

Sujatha again call Uttara and she rushed out.
Uttara: coming mom..

Swara again look at herself. She closed her eyes and took a deep sigh. Again she had to put that fake mask on her face in front of everyone that she is happy. Again put that fake smile on her face and now he will be also there. She can't deny that his presence is enough to raise her heartbeat and she don't need any answer why he hold that power. She knows that she still love him. She is still craving for his love. She still want that he love her even after knowing that it will never happen. He will never love her..
She don't know till when she have to bear this pain, may be till she is alive.

She chuckled sadly at her own thoughts and composed herself. She walked out.
