Swara was humming a song while getting ready in the dressing room. She turned as she heard washroom door opening sound.

Her eye left wide open to see shirtless Sanskar. He was wiping his wet hairs with the towel hanged around his neck.

"I didn't see anything."

She turned towards mirror tightly closing her eyes.

Her shriek earned his attention. She was standing facing mirror with closed eyes, clutching her top's edges in her fist biting her lower lips.

It was treat for his eyes.

He moved towards her back to bend till her ear.

"I don't mind if you see anything."

She could feel his hot breath as well as manly cologne.

She gulped heavily when her back brushed over his chest.

"You know what, we should start watching adult movies instead of Disney Movies."

Her eyes left open wide that her eyeballs would come out from their sockets anytime.

"You are the cutest, my Frozen" he kissed her temple still keeping his eyes on her reflection.

Swara felt his fingers brushing over her waist. She felt butterflies in her stomach with their proximity.

Sanskar was enjoying her flummoxed state.

"Breakfast.... Breakfast is ready." She turned in swift moment and ran outside with jet speed leaving crazily laughing Sanskar behind.

"Rohan, is everything done? Did you weigh Ma and Papa's bags?" Swara was firing questions at her brother. Next day, her parents were going to board the flight to Canada.

Sanskar observed Swara, happiness was oozing out from her face.

It was night, Swara was ready to sleep. She talked to her brother and instructed her parents about their upcoming journey.

Though her parents were upset with her and were not on much talking terms, they had decided to talk to their daughter face to face.

Over the days, their anger has reduced looking at their daughters excitement for their trip.

They have overheard conversation between their kids about Sanskar.

'Is she really in love with him? She is happy what else we need? But how can we trust such a boy for our daughter?' These thoughts used to linger around their minds.

It was just one more day and her parents will be with her, just the thought of living with them was enough for her to fly high in the sky of her dreamland.

"I will give you call in morning just before Ma and Papa leaves."

Both brother and sister cut their call.

"Thank you Kanhaji." Swara smiled brightly.

Sanskar was standing at the doorstep and was observing her facial antics.

"You came back. Done with your meetings?" She asked.

"Yep" he kept his Mac in his laptop bag.

Sanskar took comforter and pillow and started moving towards couch.

"Sanskar you should not sleep on couch. It is giving you back pain." She had seen him stretching his back lot these days.

"Its ok Swara."

"Can I sleep on...?"

"No. You are not sleeping on couch." He answered even before she complete her question

"Sanskar either you are sleeping on bed or I am going in other room." She gave him ultimatum.

"Blackmailing me. Not bad Mrs. Maheshwari." He sat in front of her on bed.

She just rolled her eyes.

"Sanskar please sleep on the bed. Period."

He slide beside her. He saw her back and turned to her.

"I did not know you have already started watching adult movies. That's bad, we could have watched together. It will be helpful for both of us when we will make love." He drew circles around her shoulders pressing his lips.

She turned to him hitting his hand.

He pulled her in swift movement and she landed on his chest.

Swara kept her head on his arm feeling blessed.

He immediately engulfed her in his embrace caressing her hairs.

'Me and Sanskar... I am sure we will have happy marriage. Thank you Kanhaji for bringing him in my life. I love him a lot. More than my own life.' Her wide open eyes were dreaming about their blissful future. Small smile was playing on her lips.

Sanskar held her palm which was on his chest.

'This is heaven, holding you in my embrace close to my heart. No other feeling can give me this much peace.' He kissed her hairs.

'I just want to hold you for forever. Just be with me Swara.'

'I promise, I will never hurt you.'

He was silent but his heart was content.

'Why is she so silent today?' He saw her engrossed in her thoughts.

'She is chatterbox.'

'What happened to her?'

'She was jumping with happiness but then she suddenly became silent.'

'What happened to her?' Her silence was increasing his confusion.

'Did I make any mistake?'

'Is she hurt over something?'

'Am I the reason behind her silence?'

'Ohh shit?' He closed his eyes with realization.

"Swara, I am sorry. I did not mean it." His unsured voice broke her revere.

"What are you saying?" She raised her head to look in his eyes.

"I mean, I said... I know, you need time. So just ignore what I said."

"What are you saying? I am lost."

Swara stared in his eyes she realized he was mentioning about their recent conversation.

"I am really sorry. It is more than enough for me when you are just in front of my eyes. I don't want anything else. Just don't misunderstand me."

"Come on Sanskar. You were just teasing me. It's totally fine."

"So you are not mad at me?" He asked innocently.

"Why will I be mad at you?"

"I just thought." He looked at other side. 'I just don't want you to misunderstand me. I should be careful, I should not hurt you with my words and actions.'

"You don't need to think so much. You just need to be yourself Sanskar." She cupped his face. He and his insecurities.

"I still don't understand how you read my mind." He rolled his eyes.

She chuckled.

"Sanskar marriage is beautiful relation which goes with all ups and downs. We as couple, we will also have our share of conflicts, arguments, disagreements."

His hold over her shoulder automatically got tightened.

She smiled looking at his possessiveness.

"But, it's up to any couple how long they drag it. We will make sure to sort them out. If one is falling; other will hold on. That's called togetherness."

He kept on looking at her serene face. He kissed her forehead when his heart filled with her assurance.

"Your parents will accept us right?"

"Yes they will"

"And what if they don't? Will you leave me?" He gulped heavily.

"No... I will convince them. I will convince them hard till the time they build trust on our togetherness. Once they knew you are my happiness and they get assurance that their daughter is in safe hands then they will automatically accept."

"I hope so soon."

She kissed his forehead.

Next morning, they both were doing breakfast when Swara had dialled her parents phone. They were on Mumbai airport completing all formalities for their departure.

"Shona, they said we got some upgrade. And now our tickets are of first class passengers." Reva was worried.

Anurag was still giving her silent treatment.

"First class?" Swara was confused. "No Ma, I booked economy class tickets. First Class is too expensive."

"I don't know. But they asked us to wait in Premium lounge."

"First class tickets" she mumbled to herself when her eyes landed on her husband who was finishing his breakfast with rapid speed.

She scrunched her eyes.

"Ma I guess your and Papa's name came in lottery so you have got this upgrade." She did not move her eyes from Sanskar.

She bid bye to her mother.

"You booked First Class tickets for my parents?"

"You only said it was lottery."

"Sanskar"

"Ok, I just upgraded them." She raised her eye brows.

"Come on Swara. It's 15 hours of journey. Those economy seats are shits. It's good they can have comfortable journey."

"Do you know how much it cost for one First Class ticket?"

"I don't know. Why should I know?"

Exactly... because you don't value money. They are around 10 thousand dollars per person."

"Ohh nice to know about this. By the way... what you will prefer your parents comfort or money?" His one question shushed her.

"Come on Swara, you don't need to worry about it when I am there." He held her hand.

"Hmm" she rolled her eyes.

But her heart filled with content feelings looking at his care towards her parents.

"I am still in two minds. Sanskar, I still feel Ma and Papa will not be comfortable here. I should take them to another apartment. They don't even know you and..."

"Unfortunately or fortunately, I am their son in law so what's the issue?" Over last couple of days Sanskar was managed to convince Swara to make her parents stay in his apartment only for next 2 months.

"And yes, let's apply for their residency so they can stay here for longer duration."

"Yes. I will get papers ready."

It was the time, Swara's parents landed in Toronto, She went to airport to receive them.

Sanskar had couple of important meetings so he could not join her but he made sure to send his security and the most loyal employee to help her.

"Roger see they are there" Swara jumped with happiness.

"Ma... Papa" She gave them bear hug.

Reva and Anurag also became emotional seeing their daughter after long time.

"Ma where are your bags?"

"Arre Shona, they said we will get bags directly in car."

"Roger" Swara turned.

"Don't worry Mam, their bags have already been reached to the car." Anurag and Reva were looking at him with wide open mouth.

'Perks being Mrs. Maheshwari.' She rolled her eyes.

Soon they reach to Sanskar's penthouse. Reva and Anurag were seeing everything with wide open eyes.

"Ma please come in. Papa you also."

"This is Julia Aunty." Swara gave formal introduction.

"So this is his house?" Anurag asked after initial talks.

"This is my house Papa."

"Hmm because of your contract marriage with him."

"Papa, I know I did mistake, but can you please accept us? We need your acceptance for this relation."

"You are staying with him what further acceptance you need?"

"Papa there were unforeseen circumstances which made me stay with him but this stay acted as booster for our relation." Anurag stared in his daugter's eyes. Those were shining with happiness but pleading for his acceptance.

"But he did contract marriage?" Reva asked.

"Ma, Sanskar had troubled childhood. He had seen worst marriage of his so called parents. He was raised by his grandparents. So, he did not used to believe on marriages. But he can't live without me, recently he has started accepting this bond."

"He does not trust marriage then how can we trust such a boy for you?" Anurag became concerned.

"Ma, Papa, me and Sanskar used to live in one room behind the closed doors on weekends but he neither touched me nor looked at me even though I was his on paper wife. Don't you think this is enough to trust his upbringing?"

"Give us some time Shona" Anurag agreed.

"We first want to meet him" Reva agreed with her husband. "Is he not at home?"

"No Ma, he has some important meeting so he will be little late today."

At the same time, Nikhil entered inside office building.

In morning he had received job interview letter from one IT company.

It did not take much time for Nikhil to understand the earlier company which had sponsored him was bogus and now to live here he needed to do some job.

His aunt and her family had asked him to maintain distance looking at his ex-financee becoming wife of most influential person. Of course, they were concerned about their family's future.

His only contact, Serena had disappeared in thin air.

Swara was way too out of reach for him.

Sanskar was messaging Swara about her parent's arrival when there was knock on the door.

"Yes, come in" He was back in his cold mode knowing well about the visitor.

Nikhil entered inside to see someone sitting on chair facing his back.

'Talk to you later Frozen' he hit send button before smirking.

"Nice to meet you Sir. This is Nikhil Chaturvedi here. I am here for..."

Sanskar turned his chair, "Is it really NICE for you to meet ME?" He scrunched his eyebrows.

"Let's see how much it is nice for you?" his cold voice gave shudders to Nikhil's spine.

He gulped heavily.

"Have a seat Mr. Nikhil" Nikhil did as he was ordered.

"What do you think you will hurt my most precious possession and I will let you go this easily?"

"Ohh come on"

"Swar..."

"Dare you take my wife's name? I will kill you right here."

"She is mine, only mine."
