Radhe Krishna

She is incandescent.
Just like the first time I saw her,
those vast and fervent eyes
took me by surprise,
because in them I realize a
reflection of my own soul.
She is my weakness,
chink in my armour.
My undoing.

At office

Sanskar was sitting resting his head on back seat closing his eyes with deep thoughts of something, obviously it's about Swara only. He heard knock on his door and he opened his eyes and made himself presentable...

"Come in" Sanskar said in bossy tone.

Laksha entered inside. Sanskar signed by seeing him. Laksha saw his face and got to know that something was bothering him. He came near and sat infront of him.

"You in my office?" Sanskar asked him confusingly because he couldn't come leaving his patient at the evening time.

"Ha, Ragini with Swara in your house so I need to pic up her and I thought that why don't we go home together" Laksha said

"Hmm" Sanskar replied with absent minded.

"Sanskar, what happened? You look so disturbed?" Laksha asked him with concern.

Sanskar looked at him for second and averted his gaze and got up from his seat and moved towards glass wall while looking outside. Laksha waited hik to tell, what was bothering him.

"About Swara" He said fixing while looking at far away.

"Swara? What happened to her? Is she all right?" Laksha asked him worriedly by seeing his brother sad face.

"You know, how was our marriage happen? I know she didn't love me on that time although she agreed to marry me. I thought she will fall for me gradually. As expectation she has fallen for me but she didn't confess me still. I am thinking something was bothering her but she didn't want to share with me. I don't know the reason why she is not ready to share with me. Till now I was thinking that first she needed time but now I don't think it's about only time. Did you observed her, always she lost herself somewhere. She was not in presence of mind" Sanskar told him what he was feeling and turned towards Laksha who was listening him carefully.

"Because of trust Sanskar? Laksha said smiling.

"Trust? I trust her completely Lucky" Sanskar replied with frown by listening him.

"No, I didn't tell about your trust about her" Laksha said

"I didn't get you" Sanskar asked him with confusion not understanding completely.

Laksha came near him stood infront of him.
"You trust her but she thought that you don't trust her enough to share her problems" Laksha said while looking at Sanskar who was in dilemma for not understanding anything.

"I mean, first you make sure her that you trust her completely then she will share problems with you" Listening this Sanskar face brighten up like 400 volt bulb. Sansjar hugged Laksha in happiness.

"Thank you so much, you solved my problem" Sanskar broke the hug .
Laksha smiled seeing his brother happy face .

"Shall we go? Otherwise Hitler will kill me surely" Laksha said while remembering Ragini. Sanskar glared at him by calling Ragini as Hitler.

"I will tell her Lucky so stop calling her" Sanskar said warning tone. Laksha made faces by listening him.
Sanskar and Laksha both left the office and came home. They entered the hall and saw them all were sitting at living hall while talking.

"Hello everyone" Laksha greeted them while coming inside. Sanskar silently went and sat beside his father.Laksha also sat beside Ragini who was sitting beside Swara...

Maid brought tea for all and they were talking with laughing for Laksha's silly jokes.

"Sanskar Swara, we have decided something" Annapurna said with smile looking at DP who also blinked his eyes with assurance. Sanskar and Swara looked at each other with confused face. Ragini and Laksha also looking at them with confusion

"What is that Maa?" Sanskar asked her with confused face.

"We were not present at your wedding so we thought to arrange reception party for you both, what would you both say?" Annapurna asked them.

Sanskar and Swara looked at each other then all family members. They don't know what to tell...

"You both decide then tell us, no need of hurry. We just told you our opinion" DP said with small smile.

"Ok Maa, Maa I will come after changing" He got up from seat and went to his room. Swara was seeing his retreating figure.

"Swara you also go to him" He may need your help. Swara who also wanted this got happy and went behind him. AP smiled by seeing her desperation.

"Maa, do you really think it will work? Ragini asked her with doubt.

"Yes, of course I am 💯 sure" Annapurna said with small smile in determination face.

"Badi Maa, we have to work hard to bring them together" Laksha said while looking at AP.

"It's better, you don't do anything" Ragini said making faces by remembering him how he spoiled of their friends date.

"Oyee, I didn't do anything. I just tried to make him jealous by saying him as her boyfriend so he can confess but I didn't think it will ruin
like that" Laksha said with frown

"Instead of confession they started to fight" Ragini started to laugh by telling his story to AP and DP. Laksha made annoyed face by listening her and laughing at him.

"Ragini stop it yaar" Laksha whined like child with puppy eyes. Ragini stopped her laugh by seeing his face.

Here in Swasan room...
Sanskar was taking out his night wears and Swara came behind him. Sanskar sensed her presence and turned towards her.

"Sanskar how was your day?" Swara asked him with smile and started to take out his cloth.

"It's good, you tell how was your day?" Sanskar asked her while taking his cloths from her hand.

"It's good. I enjoyed with Ragini company today. She is such nice friend" Swara said smilingly.
Sanskar smiled back at her by seeing her happy face.

"Ok, I will change and come" Sanskar said while showing his cloths.

"Oh, ya sorry, you go" Swara said while hitting her forehead with smile and moved aside to let him go.

Sanskar went to washroom to change and Swara went downstairs to see kitchen works.

At night Swara was waiting for Sanskar in room as he didn't come till now as it was showing time 11.45 pm. She was impatiently waiting for him. Suddenly beep sound heard by Swara's mobile. She opened her mobile message inbox and it was from Sanskar.

Message

" Come to terrace "

"Why he is calling me to terrace at this time? What is he doing there? Anyway I have to go" Swara said and went to terrace and opened the terrace door and it was all dark. She felt scared little bit by seeing dark and felt scare for Sanskar as something would have happened.

"Sanskar" Swara called him slowly but no response from other side.

"Sanskar" Swara called him little bit loudly this time.

Suddenly light got switched on. She doumfounded by the scene infront of her. It's beautifully decorated by red yellow and white colour lights and red roses and white roses, her favourite white orchids, pink tulips, at the centre table and two chairs and cake was placed on it. She was looking decoration and all with twinkling eyes. She came forward and saw the cake and there was written as Happy Birthday Swara on it.

"Happy Birthday my dear wifey" Sanskar said while coming from behind and stood beside her.
Swara looked at him with surprised and her eyes were filled with tears and a smile was on her lips.

"Hey why are you crying? I didn't make arrangements to see you cry" Sanskar said while cupping her face with his both hands.
Swara held his hand which was on her cheeks.

"Kyu karte hai mujhase itna Pyaar...( Why you love me this much)"
she asked him with small smile being emotional.
Sanskar smiled at her and wiped her unshed tears.

"Don't know but my heart wanted to love you so I loved you and love you and always will love you forever" Sanskar said joining his forehead with her.

"Come and cut the cake" Sanskar said while looking at her.
Swara nodded her head and both moved towards table.
Swara cut the cake and she fed him and he also fed her back.

"Take this, this is your birthday gift" He said giving her gift box. Swara took it from his hand with smile.

"Shall I open it now?" She asked him cutely.

"Ok, your wish" Sanskar said while shrugging his shoulders.

Swara opened the box and looked at with surprised and happy look. It was beautiful red saree with white stones on its border, it was looking beautiful and elegant. Swara caressed it and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips by seeing it.

"How is it?" Sandkar asked her by looking at her with curiously.

"It's beautiful Sanskar. Thank you" Swara said with bright smile by feeling blessed.
He gave her another small gift box.
Swara looked at him confusingly.

"Take it, my last gift for you. I know it's nothing for you but it's most important for me, each and everything you related is most important to me. I know you don't love me, it's nothing that I can't stop you loving you. I know something is bothering you but you don't want to share with me. I am feeling like looser infront of you as I didn't gain that much trust to share your problems with me. I know you don't want to live here so I will give freedom to you. We are the first couple who is getting apart from each other on Valentine's day. You don't have to force yourself in this relation. Don't think I am doing any favour, it's just I want your happiness. I just wanted to make this day as memorable so" Sanskar said being emotional and words are not coming from his throat. He was feeling hurt to say this. The thought of letting her go was ripping his heart from his body. He was feeling so many emotions inside as if his soul was going away from him leaving him alone. He was controlling his tears not to break down infront of her.
Swara rooted in her place by listening him as he was sending her far away from him that too forever. Tears started to flow from her eyes silently. She looked at him who was looking at down. She knew he was trying to control his tears.

"Swara you can't fall weak, you can't loose him. You have to confess him otherwise you loose your love forever" Swara's mind warned her.

Swara held his hands in her both hands. Sanskar looked at in her eyes which was showing something for him.

"I want to say something for you" She said looking into his eyes who was staring at her eyes already. She was feeling nervous, how to tell him, scare for his reaction and fear for loosing him.

"On that day I told you about my friend story" Swara said while looking at him and Sanskar nodded his headyes in yes.

"Actually she did sucide" Swara said with low tone while looking at him.

"What?" He exclaimed in shock.

"It's my childhood friend and my brother's love. He ditched her making her pregnant and she did sucide because of betrayal" She was choking while saying this to him, tears were flowing from her eyes. She looked at him.

"Who was that bastard?" Sanskar asked her with anger and fisted his palm to control his anger. He was getting angry by listening this and wanted to kill him who did this to another girl. Swara saw his eyes which were red in anger. She pressed his hands and Sanskar looked at her and his eyes softened by seeing her face.

"Do you want to know who is he?" Swara asked him.

"Hmm, tell his name. I will give him punishment that in his dream also he can never touch another girl" Sanskar said with full determination.
Swara was staring into his eyes.

"It's your cousin only" Saying this Swara closed her eyes and one drop of tear escaped from her eyes. She opened her eyes not listening anything from Sandksr. She looked at him who was standing like a statue. He guessed already it must be Babu only but now it became true..

"Sanskar" She called him but he was not lost somewhere.

"Sanskar" She shook him little bit and Sanskar came into sense.

"Ha" He looked at her..

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Sanskar asked her

Swara looked down not able to see his eyes. Sanskar lifted her head through her chin by his finger.

"Why?" He asked her with disappoint tone, inside his blood was boiling by listening Babu's name.

"Because I thought you don't believe my words. I was scared to loose you if you didn't believe me. I... thought you....." Her words stuck in her throat only and tears were flowing from her eyes uncontrollably. Sanskar pulled her towards him and hugged her tightly, he has tears in his eyes. She was crying vigorously in his embrace. He rubbed her back to calm her and he broke the hug after sometime and wiped her tears. He cupped her both cheeks with his thumb.

"Swara" He called her softly. She looked at him lifting her eyes.

"You have understood me this much only? Sanskar asked her

Swara nodded no while shaking her head. She was controlling her tears by pressing her lips.

"Then why?" Sanskar asked her softly again.

"Swara I didn't love you just for namesake. I loved you to live with you lifelong till my last breath. I love you with my all heart, his heart only beats for you, most importantly I trust you then how could you think that I don't believe you? Trust is the base of every relation but I failed to gain your trust and not understanding your pain. I am sorry" He said feeling hurt not able to understand her pain. His eyes were moist and tears threatened to fall from his eyes. Swara hugged him tightly. Tears started to flow from both of their eyes.

"Don't say like this Sanskar. I trust you but I was scared to loose you by saying truth about him to family then they would have thought that I broke your family. I don't want to loose another person in my life. I lost so much in my life already. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you" Swara confessed finally.
Sanskar got shock by listening her last word. He broke the hug immediately. He didn't give heed to other things except last word.

"What did you say?" Sanskar asked her with hopeful eyes while holding her through shoulders.

Swara looked down feeling shy. Sanskar lifted her face.

"Swara look at me and say those words" Sanskar said while looking at her. Swara looked in his eyes which was showing immense love for her

"I LOVE YOU. I love so much" Swara said with blushed face.

"I love you too" Sanskar said while looking at her  Swara hugged him tightly while placing her head on his chest and even Sanskar also hugged her back.

"Please don't let me go away from you. I can't live without you" Swara said while tightening his grip on his shirt.

"Never, even I can't live without you" He kissed her hairs above the head. Both were feeling happy, peace, heaven in each other embrace. After 10 minutes both broke the hug. Sanskar wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. Swara closed her eyes by feeling his love.

Sanskar gave gift box which was kept in table.

"Open it" Sanskar said
Swara opened the box and looked at him unbelievably. Sanskar smiled at her.

"Shall I?" Sanskar asked her with hoping eyes. Swara nodded her head with smile.
Sanskar sat on one his knees and forward his hand to her.
Swara put her leg on his thigh. Sanskar tied anklets on her ankle and kissed it softly. Swara was smiling with tears in her eyes by feeling his unconditional love and feeling blessed having husband like him..

Sanskar got up and Sanskar jerked with sudden shock by feeling lips on his rough lips. Swara pulled him more while kissing him. Sanskar was standing numb with sudden shock. Swara bite his lower lips for not getting response from him. Sanskar came into sense and started to response her. Swara held his shoulder for support. Sanskar's one hand on her waist and one hand on her back of her hairs. Soft kiss turned into passionate kiss, both were pouring their love, desire, passion in that kiss and feeling heaven. After some minutes both broke the kiss out of air and both were breathing heavily to catch their breathe. Both joined their foreheads.

"Happy Valentine's Day" Both said in unison and laughed with full heartedly feeling contented.

"Happy Birthday My dear Wifey" Sanskar said once again.

"Thank you, it's best birthday of my life" She said and hugged him again.

"Sanskar, how did you arrange this all?" Swara asked him with surprised eyes.

"When you were busy in kitchen. I know you love me but something was bothering you and not sharing with me so I thought why not play with you" He said with smirk. Swara broke the hug.

"What did you say?" She asked him with little angry and shock.
Sanskar gulped his saliva by seeing his little angry bird.

"Then what should I do? I just told you to give you freedom" He saud making sad puppy eyes. Swara melted by seeing his sad face.

" Sorry" Swara held her both ears and said cutely.
Sanskar removed her hands and nodded no. Both were smiling and it was showing in their eyes how much happy they were.
Sanskar hugged her again.

To be continued...

Love ♥️
