The Next Morning:

Swara felt loss of warmth and she moved her hand on his right side to hold onto her husband but the bed side felt empty. She opened her tired eyes that was still somewhere red only to find her husband was talking to someone on his phone while getting ready standing in front of dressing table. She sees the sunlight has illuminated their room and then her eyes went towards table clock. She got shocked to see it was 8:30 a.m. already. And here comes another taunt from Gayatri. She wasn't feeling well but somewhat better. So, she thought to take shower. She might feel good. She got up from bed and taking her clothes she made her way toward washroom.

"Yeah, mail the presentation to Laksh. He will approve it. And get everything ready for the meeting... Yeah, ok." Sanskar ordered someone on the phone while looking at Swara who get inside Washroom and disconnected the call.

After getting fresh n up and a quick shower, Swara came out in blue Saree. Her hair was wet. She sees Sanskar doing something in his laptop sitting on couch.

"Good morning Sanskar." She wishes him with smile but somewhat tired. He looked at her and came to her.

"Morning Swara. " He said with smile.

"How are you feeling now? Shall we go to see the doctor?" He asked cupping her face.

Swara nodded no at him with smile and said that she is okay.

"I am fine Sanskar. Just need some rest. And I am Sorry I got late. Why didn't you wake me up? Just give me five minutes, I will come with your breakfast." Swara said and was about to go but he held her.

"Swara, You are not getting out of the room today. Just stay here and take rest." Sanskar said.

"But Sanskar, why..." Swara tried to say but he interrupted.

"No, I said something and you have to listen to me. Although I didn't want to leave you alone and go to office but bade papa had asked me to attend a meeting today. I had already said okay to him. Everything is done and I need to be there for the project approval." Sanskar said apologetically.

"It's ok Sanskar. I understand that. Don't stop your work because of me. I m really feeling better now. I have told you everything so I m feeling light. Don't worry." Swara said with assurance.

"Hmm ok, I will wrap up the meeting asap and come back. Till then you will take care yourself and if you feel any discomfort just call me. " Sanskar said.

Swara nodded.

"I am really alright and sitting in this room I will get bored na? Then why..?" Swara tried to say but Sanskar interrupted.

"You also know why am I telling you this? Then why do you need to question me?" Sanskar asked. He didn't want Gayatri or Sujatha's words taunt her again for something.

"Sanskar I.." Swara tried to say but he said.

"Fine then! I will cancel the meeting and I am here to look after you. You look weak and tired and if I asked you something, you are gonna defy that. No need to do any work. We have enough servants in this house to do works. I don't want to see your health affected. " Sanskar said angrily a bit.

Swara sighed and nodded.

"No, I didn't mean that. Okay, I agree. I will not do anything and take rest." Swara said taking a sigh as she didn't want him to go with bad mood.

Sanskar was looking at her intently.

"I promise. " Swara said and hold his hand.

Sanskar nodded and calmed down.

"Don't you dare to stress yourself because of stupid things. I will set everything alright when I come back." Sanskar said.

Swara was confused.

"What?" Swara asked.

"Will tell you when I will be back. Till then take rest." Sanskar said.

He received a call. It was Laksh.

"Yes Laksh, I am coming. Just wait." Sanskar said taking the call.

Swara gave him his bag putting the laptop inside. He takes it.

"Bye, see you." He kissed her forehead.

"Bye Sanskar, but have something before meeting. Don't starve yourself." Swara said with smile and he nodded before going outside the room.

Coming downstairs, he sees Uttara. It's her holidays in college. He calls her.

"Good morning bhai." Uttara said and hugged him. He also wished her morning and said.

"Uttara, I m in hurry for a meeting. Will you do something for me?" Sanskar said.

"You just need to tell me bhai. I will do anything." Uttara chirped.

"Swara is not well. Can you look after herself till I come back?" Sanskar asked.

"What? What happened to Bhabhi? Is she okay? Should we call the doctor?" Uttara asked worriedly.

"Hey, hey, Uttara bacha calm down. She is fine. Just stressed out. She also needs rest but she doesn't understand. She take care of others but she forget about herself. You just take care of her and don't let her work or rather not let her step out of her room, hmm?" Sanskar said.

"Yes, you are right bhai. She never care for herself. Don't worry bhai, I will see how she can be careless. I will take care of her. You just don't worry. I am not going to move away from bhabhi for a minute." Uttara said smilingly.

"Did she have her breakfast?" Uttara asked.

"No, ask kaka to..." Sanskar was about to say but Uttara again said.

"Don't you worry Bhai, I am there na. I will just take her breakfast. You go and attend your meeting without any tension.. I will let you know if anything goes wrong." Uttara said and immediately went to kitchen.

Sanskar smiled looking at her and went out.

Uttara made something light for Swara and made her way directly to Swara and Sanskar's room.

.....

Whole days passed, maheshwari came to know that Swara was not well obviously from Uttara. They came to see her but she assured them that she is better. Except Sujatha and Gayatri. Gayatri made faces while Sujatha didn't feel nice when Gayatri talk ill about Swara. What's her fault if she is not well? She actually forget about herself in household and music academy thing. She asked to Annapurna about Swara but didn't go to her. Ragini spent sometime with Swara. And with Rakshit, Swara felt nice. Uttara didn't move away from Swara for whole days. Finally it was evening around 5 when Sanskar came back after finishing the meeting. He went straight to his room only to find Swara laughing on what Uttara was saying. He felt somewhat better. But he was determined to talk some sense to his mom and Bua ji as he had decided last night.

Later,
"Sanskar no, please listen to me. Don't do this." Swara pleads him holding his hand.

"Swara, I m not asking you. I m telling you that I m doing this. come on." Sanskar said and holding her hand he started to leave but Swara again stopped him.

"Sanskar let it be please. Please don't. Please stop." Swara tried to stop him.

"No Swara." Sanskar denied to stopped

"Sanskar please, You are being impulsive. Ju.. just calm your anger. I don't want this. Please... I don't want any rift in this family. I never want you to choose between me and..." Swara shook her head while saying this.

"I know what I am doing. Being a son, I care for this family and being your husband, I care for you and I know what to do. I can't see my wife in pain. Do you know what I go through to see you broken? It hurts me equally. If anyone's having problem with mine and your relationship then they will have to say it in front of me. I also need to know who the hell they are to take our life's decision?" Sanskar said sternly.

"But Sanskar please try to understand..." Swara kept pleading but he pulled her to himself and just ask her.

"Just one question Swara, do you believe me?" Sanskar asked Looking directly into her eyes.

Swara stopped for a second and looking into her eyes she nodded at him. She looked worried as she didn't want him to do something that affect the family and everyone relations. He was determined to confront.

"Then just let me do it and you are coming with me." Sanskar said and held her hand firmly before walking out of the room.

"But Sanskar.." She tried to say when he gave her a look turning back and that was enough to let her work stuck in middle.

Everyone was in hall. It was evening so they were having quality time. Laksh also just came out of room with Ragini and Rakshit.

Sanskar kept walking along with Swara who was continuously whispering Sanskar to stop but he didn't listen to her. He didn't lose hold from her hand. Everyone sees Sanskar walking downstairs with serious expression with Swara who looked somewhat nervous. They were confused. While Gayatri made faces looking at Swara.

Sanskar came and stood right in the middle of hall where everyone was sitting. Swara stopped just behind him like hiding from the situation that she is gonna face now.

"What happened Sanskar? Everything is fine?" Ram asked looking at Sanskar.

Sanskar didn't say anything and looked at Sujatha.

"Yeah, Sanskar? What's wrong? And Swara, are you feeling better now, beta?" Durgaprasad asked.

Swara gave a light nod with forced smile and looked up at Sanskar who was maintaining hard expression. His eyes was focussed in particular direction where Gayatri was sitting with Sujatha.

"I want to talk something important." Sanskar said in serious tone.

Swara squeezed his hand tight with last hope that he will stop. He looked at her for once as if telling her that he is not gonna stop and then look at everyone.

"What happened, Sanskar?" Annapurna asked as he understood that there might be something serious looking at Sanskar.

"Badi maa, I won't beat around bushes. I am Just coming straight to the point. I came to know that suddenly, out of nowhere mom has started having problems with mine and Swara's relationship. Rather she doesn't want Swara in this house and in my life anymore, right mom?" Sanskar said straight and looked at Sujatha.

Everyone were shocked hearing this. So was Sujatha.

"What?" Annapurna said in shock and looked at Sujatha.

"Sujatha, is he saying right?" Annapurna asked to which Sujatha looked down.

"What happened mom? What have changed you that you don't like her presence anymore? What has she done to you that she is not the same swara you used to love?" He asked Sujatha.

Sujatha didn't answer anything. She knew it was coming when Sanskar will come to know all this. Sujatha looked at Swara who was looking down now.

"What? You will say that she tried to instigate me against you? No mom, your daughter in law is too stubborn to reveal her pain. I had to force her to reveal that the reason was you." Sanskar said when he saw her looking at Swara.

Everyone was confused what's happening and why will sanskar accuse Sujatha for something serious. Why will Sujatha do anything against Swara?

"Sanskar, say clearly. What do you want to say?" Annapurna asked looking at him.

Sanskar chuckled a bit and say.

"Badi maa, Mom wants that I divorce Swara and marry some other girl. Infact, she has even found a girl for me. Right mom?" Sanskar said hurtfully.

Sujatha was silent but she could see the pain in his eyes when he was saying. He was hurt to see his mom will do something like this.

"What?" Annapurna could merely whisper.

Ragini, Laksh and Uttara were shocked along with Ram and Durgaprasad. Gayatri has straight expression. Laksh asked Uttara to take Rakshit inside. She nodded and went from there.

"Answer me Mom." Sanskar said.

"Why? Why she should answer? Why don't you ask your wife yourself who has filled your ears against Sujatha and who knows against everyone? If your wife can talk against us to you then can't she explain the reason behind doing all this? She should also reveal her truth na? If she would have been good enough for you then why will a mother think about her child re-marriage? So, what's wrong she thought? She is mother and wanted to see you happy in your life. That's why she decided it. Ask you wife, why? You came here to question Sujatha because you are still living in illusion. You are unaware of her truth." Gayatri said in taunting way leading Sanskar getting angrier.

Listening to her Swara tried to remove her hand from his hold but he didn't loose her hold a bit.

"I am talking to mom. Not you bua ji." Sanskar said calmly but he sounded more stern and warning in his tone.

"Really? Watch his tone Sujatha. I told you na, this girl will make him against us and see. It's happening. You are under her spell that's why you are taking her side. You are blinded by her. Sanskar, you don't even know that YOUR WIFE IS INFERTILE!!" Gayatri said venomously leading Swara to squeeze her eyes shut. Sanskar gripped her hand with hard expression on his face.
