Three days later,

Sujatha behaviour with Swara has suddenly changed a lot. She became rude now. swara was not able to understand what happened to her. She tried to talk a no. of times but she would only hear short answers or rude reply. Swara felt so hurt because of this and on the top of that Gayatri was making it worse. Annapurna would favour her when she is around. No one knew exactly what's happening as it didn't happen in front of them. Ragini felt something wrong with Gayatri and Sujatha behaviour and Asked swara but Swara assured her that everything is fine. Neither Swara let anyone know about it. Not even Sanskar. One side, she was already trying to tell about her medical reports to Sanskar and other side Sujatha and Gayatri's behaviour. It was getting more suffocating for her.

It was night around 9:30 p m. Everyone has retired to their room. Sanskar has some work so he informed Swara that he will be late a bit and told her to have dinner with everyone but as usual she denied and said she will wait for him. After making everyone have dinner, Swara helped Ragini and Uttara in kitchen and then all went back to their rooms.

Guest room:
Sujatha was pacing to and fro from her place while Gayatri was sitting on couch near window.

"Sujatha, calm down. Sit and relax." Gaytri said.

"No Gayatri jiji, you don't know. Sanskar will never understand this. He will never agree for this. He loves Swara very much. And what about Swara?" Sujatha said being restless.

"Arey, how will he deny? I will also see. You are his mother and we are his elders. He will have to listen to us. And about Love, he will understand with time that whatever decision we are taking is for him only. That Swara, just forget about her. It's all happening because of her. It's good that you came to know about her infertility. Otherwise, God knows till when she has decided to hide from everyone." Gayatri said.

Listening to her, Sujatha sat beside her on couch lost in her thoughts.

Flashback,

Two days back, It was afternoon, when Sujatha got a call from Sanskar asking for some file that was kept in his cupboard. As Swara was in music school, he asked Sujatha to give it to driver and he will bring that to office. Sujatha said okay and She went to their room. Checking for that particular file, she mistakenly open Swara's side cupboard and was about to shut it when she saw a file there at one side. But what caught her attention was hospital name. She got confused and take it out. She opened it and reading the reports, she was shocked and angry too that Swara hide such an important and sensitive thing from everyone. She remembered how Gayatri pointed it that may be Swara is infertile and now it was truth.

Sujatha was very angry. She put the report back and taking the file from Sanskar cupboard she went out.

That evening, she was waiting for Swara to come and confront her but before that she told everything to Gayatri and she stopped her.

"What will you ask her? And what will she answer? This will do nothing Sujatha. The damage has already been done. She is married to Sanskar." Gayatri said.

"But I can't sit like this jiji. She has done wrong hiding this and may be Sanskar also don't know about it." Sujatha said.

"I am sure, he doesn't know otherwise he would have left her till now." Gayatri said making faces.

"No jiji, Sanskar won't leave her." Sujatha said.

"Then make him do that." Gayatri said.

Sujatha was confused.

"There is no use to talk to Swara. Just make Sanskar understand and we will find a better girl for him. He will leave Swara himself once he will understand what we are doing is better for him. If he can marry Swara because you all pressurized him then he can marry other girl too. I am saying things are still in your hand." Gayatri said in manipulating way.

Sujatha listen to her but didn't say anything.

Flashback ends...

"Swara has already done enough but now we have to do something for our son Sanskar. We can't let him tied with a girl like her who can't even give him happiness of being a father. I told you na there's no use of talking or confronting that girl. We must think about our son. She hide such a big thing from us and we will suffer because of her. How can we let our son suffer? No!!" Gayatri said.

"But jiji, I don't think anyone will support this. Forget about Sanskar, Annapurna jiji, bhaisa and Ram ji.. they all will never.." Sujatha tried to say but she interrupted her.

"Don't think much, once they will know the truth they will also understand it. In all this only Swara is wrong. " Gayatri said.

Sujatha was in deep thought. She was not able to understand what's happening. It's right or wrong. Everything happening is confusing her. One side she was angry on Swara for hiding this. Then other side, she was thinking about Sanskar. This is not hidden from anyone how much Sanskar loves Swara. She was somehow taking frustration out on Swara nowadays but she can't deny that she feel bad for being rude to her. Swara has always been polite to everyone.

"You don't worry about anything Sujatha. See this, (showing a photo in her phone) She is a very nice girl and my friends daughter. She is traditional and well mannered girl. Also from well reputed family. She will be perfect for this family and Sanskar also."Gayatri said.

Sujatha face expression turned more anxious. She gave her phone back thinking what to do.

"Firstly we will make them meet each other. I am thinking to call Nithya here only for some days. She has already seen Sanskar somewhere in public appearance and she likes him also. Things will be easy. I know Sanskar might make it difficult but Sanskar will have to listen to us and you will see. After all it's not only about him, it's about Maheshwari's reputation. And that Swara, I will handle that girl swara and her family. Such a bad omen she is for this family. Sanskar will divorce her and marry Nithya." Gayatri kept on blabbering and then she saw Sujatha lost in her thoughts.

She held her hand and say.

"Don't worry Sujatha. Everything will be fine." Gayatri said assuringly.

Sujatha passed a forced smile.

"Ji, you please go to sleep. I will also see Ram ji medicine and all." Sujatha divert the topic because it was making her feel more restless.

"Yeah, we will talk in morning." Gayatri said.

Sujatha nodded and wishing her good night she went out of the room. Gayatri also turned off the light and went to sleep.

As Sujatha went away from there, someone came out of curtain who was standing behind it for so long and listening everything. It was none other than Swara. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. She was broken. She couldn't believe what she just heard. They want Sanskar to divorce her and marry some other girl. Gayatri's word didn't affected her more than Sujatha's silence. She always loved her like a daughter. And today she doesn't even want to look at her or think about her.

Unable to hold her tears, Swara immediately ran to her room. Nowadays, she was feeling exhausted and tired. Because she was stressing herself a lot and not having food properly. And now this, she wasn't able to understand why this all happening to her? What has she ever done to deserve this? Rushing inside, She just ran to balcony and slumped on the floor feeling powerless. Her all strength and patience gave up and she burst out crying. Thinking about everything, she couldn't hold herself anymore. What was her mistake in all this? She didn't choose this to happen with her. How can they think like that? How will she able to live without Sanskar. Although, she knew Sanskar will never leave her but a part of her was broken with mere thought of it. Him with someone else, his wife, his baby, his family.. was she being selfish for her love? Are they saying right? Since the time she came to know about her infertility, she was going through fear, stress and broken self but she never let it out in front of anyone. But for how long, she can hide. She knew the truth will be out but not like this. What will Sanskar do after knowing all this? What will this family think about her? Will they think like Gayatri or will agree with her?
She hugged her knees and kept crying.

Night around
11:45 p.m

Sanskar parked his car and came out only to see Laksh in his balcony was trying to make Rakshit sleep who was in no mood to sleep. Laksh had almost crying face and pleading him to sleep. Laksh sees Sanskar and nodded at him with Smile. While Sanskar gave him all the best look pointing towards Rakshit. Laksh again make crying face while Sanskar chuckled and went inside.
He was quite late and he was confused that Swara didn't call till now. But thought she must be busy with her music academy work. But as soon as he entered the room, opening the door. he was confused. The whole room was dark which was so unlike Swara. She don't like to live in darkness and she will never sleep without him. He turned on the light and didn't find her in room.

"Where is she?" He thought.

Placing the bag on table, he took out his blazer. He sees the balcony door was open and he went there only to find her sitting on chair silently.

"Here you are and I was thinking where did you go?" He said smiling and went to her but she seemed to be so lost to notice or hear him.

He got confused. She was looking at particular direction on the floor. Her eyes was glistening in full moon light and look puffy red. Did she cry? He was alarmed and then next second he saw a fresh tear trickled from her eyes and she blinked. He had never seen her wife like this. He has seen her crying but not broken the way she was looking now.

"Swara?" He called her name lovingly cupping her face gently.

As soon as she felt his touch, she came out of her reverie and looked up only to find Sanskar, who was looking at her with concern. She immediately got up and turned her face away from him.

"Swara, what happened?" Sanskar asked worriedly.

But all she did was to wipe her tears and turn around facing him with her best possible smile.

"Sanskar, you came finally. Ok, you.. you go and get fresh n up. I will just come with your dinner. Hmm?" Swara said and immediately try to go away but as soon as she passed by him she felt a tug on her hand as he held her wrist.

"I asked something Swara." Sanskar asked in serious tone now.

Swara closed her eyes and took a deep breathe. Turning around, she smiled at him.

"There's nothing Sanskar. Don't think much. You are already late. Let's have dinner." Swara said and turned around again to go but his hold didn't loose a bit.

"Till I don't get my answer, you are not free to go." Sanskar said looking at her back.

"I am telling you na Sanskar, there's nothing. I will just be back with dinner." Swara said.

"Swara? What's wrong?" He asked directly as he knows something must have happened.

Swara tried to make excuse this time that she has some work left in kitchen and she needs to go. She struggled to free his grip from her wrist but he didn't leave. Instead, he came in front of her making her look at him.

"I asked, what has happened Swara? I want truth." He repeated in dead serious tone.

"Don't do this. please Sanskar. Leave me." Swara plead him. Her eyes welled up but she blinked and try to hide it.

Sanskar got concerned and he left her hand. His hand immediately made its way to her face and cups her face lovingly.

"Swara?" He said with concern.

Swara turned her face away and she went inside the room and he followed her. Watching her leaving the room, he forcefully held her hand and pulled her to himself.

"Enough Swara. Why are you running away from me? What happened?" Sanskar asked being pissed off.

Swara tried to push him away placing her hand on his chest but he was way too strong for her petite form.

"Just leave me, please Sanskar. Why can't you understand?" Swara plead and trying to hold her cries.

"That's what I want to understand. I need to know why the hell did you cry damn it??" Sanskar asked loosing his calmness a bit.

Swara shudder a bit and then look at him. He was also looking at her with questioning eyes. More than that, he was restless for her.

"Okay, I will tell you. But firstly you will have to agree on what I will ask for." Swara said with stuttering tone.

"What?" He was confused.

"Yes, you promise me that you will do whatever I will ask for." Swara said looking down.

"What do you want Swara?" Sanskar asked her calmly.

He cups her face but she didn't look at him as her eyes already started betraying her yet again.

"Say Swara." Sanskar asked her when she didn't say anything.

Her lips got dried suddenly and she didn't know how to say this. But she forces herself somehow. Her mind screaming to her to let it out.

"I.. I want a divorce, Sanskar." She said in on go and closed her eyes.
