"who....who is this?'

"I told you, you will regret it...."sanskar whispered in her ear, making her freeze in her posture.

"What happened....cat caught your tongue."sanskar asked in a mocking tone.swara tried to kick back on his legs but sanskar moves his leg back, saving his leg.swara tried again to free her arms with full might and she was successfully free. she turned toward him and was going to kick his manhood when sanskar holds her leg and pulled her close and locked her arms behind her in such a way that she was not able to move a single muscle.

"These small tricks which you learned in high school will not work on my kitten."sanskar said in a soft chuckling tone. swara was feeling his hot breath falling on her forehead but she was not able to see his face because of the darkness.

"How...how did you come out from the cell?.."swara managed to ask while her heart was throbbing inside her chest.sanskar laughed in response. there was something in his laugh which made her cringe in an unknown fear.

"Are you regretting now?...."sanskar asked in a mocking tone, after controlling his laugh.

"I don't regret saving my grandfather..."swara said in a strong voice and wriggled to free herself.

"you are the granddaughter of that old fogy....aren't you?"sanskar said, moving his face down. swara's eyes widened, feeling his breath fanning her face but she was not able to see his face because of the darkness.

"it was nice to meet you, I will come again little kitten!...."sanskar whispered over her lips, leaves her arms slowly, and steps back.swara sighed in relief but she again felt his warm body against her.

"And don't tell that old fogy about my arrival..."

"huh!...."swara asked in a confused tone,sanskar turns and leaves.

"Why do you think I will not tell grandpa......what do you think of yourself?"swara said angrily after a second but he was gone. Lights come the next instant, and swara closes her eyes because of sudden lights entering her eyes. she slowly opens her eyes and looks around and found no one.

*************************

MORNING

"thank God!... I have morning shifts from tomorrow." kavya said in relief after seeing next week's schedule.

"what the hell!... I again got night shifts."swara said in an annoyed voice.

"I got the evening shift on weekends....how will I do party? who made this schedule I will bang his head"kavita said angrily.

"Seriously! I just did night shifts for 15 days now again...."swara said while shaking her head urns and walking toward the exit door.

"What happened to her mood?..."kavita hits her elbow to kavya. she shrugged and both quickly turned and matches Swara's slow pace.

"what's wrong swara....you are lost somewhere today, "kavya asked her.

"Nothing..."swara said while shaking her head. Kavita holds her left arm and kavya holds her right arm.

"spit out everything....right now,"both said in unison. Swara tells them everything with a worried face.

"Swara don't take tension...tell grandpa about it, he will handle him." kavya said in assuring tone.

"I don't care about him, bastards like him come daily in my life, whenever grandpa takes high profile case, then jerks like him always try to harm me to blackmail grandpa..."swara said angrily.

"then why are you worried?..." kavya asked in a confused tone.

"if grandpa came to know about this then he will send me abroad again...just like he did 10 years before. I don't want to go abroad again."swara said and cursed her faith badly.

"don't think about it so much, whenever you think about something so much you fall sick always...so please don't," Kavita said in an uncaring tone. kavya also nodded. swara shuffles her hair worriedly.

"off!....go home, sleep for a few hours then be ready till evening...." kavya said to her.

"why?..."swara asked with confused eyes.

"I know how to lighten up your mood..." kavya said with a smile. swara released a sigh and nodded.

"my arms..."swara said and signed toward her arms which were still held by them. both giggled and left her. Swara goes toward her red mini cooper car which had black outlines. she sits inside and starts the car. she reached home after 20 minutes and shook her head seeing the house locked.

She opens the door and directly goes to her room which was upstairs and gets fresh. after getting fresh she came down and was going toward the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

"look like grandpa came...."swra said to herself and goes to open the door. she gets surprised to see a electrician.

"How may I help you?..."

"Is this IG daandayal's house?...' the man asked in a respective tone.

"yes..."swara said while nodding her head.

"I am here to check the wiring of the house...." he said in the same tone. Swara remembered that her grandfather was telling her that there was sparking in the house.

"okay please come..."swara said and moved to the side. he entered inside and starts looking around. Swara again goes toward the kitchen and starts preparing breakfast.

"where are you going?..."swara asked, seeing the man going upstairs.

"ma'am I have checked everything here...everything is fine here, maybe there is a problem witthe h second storey's wiring."

"okay..."swara said and man goes upstairs

AFTER 15 MINUTES

"ma'am i checked everything and changed wiring also...there will be no problem now."

"wait i will bring your fee...."swara said,wipes her hands and goes upstairs.after sometime she comes down with money but man was nowhere.

"left without getting paid..."swara said in confused tone,seeing door half open.

"maybe grandpa had already paid him..."swara muttered to herself while closing the door.

"work is done king!....."The man said on mobile who was standing outside the house.sanskar cuts the call without saying something and hit a key button on laptop and its screen gets illuminated with a lot of small square boxes which were showing every single corner of gadodia house.

Sanskar clicks on one square box in which swara was shown and its screen gets enlarged.sanskar lays back on chair with such ease that he had all the time to sit like that stare at swara.she was arranging breakfast on table when door gets open and daandayal enters inside.Few lines formed on sanskar's forehead,seeing him.

"is this the time to come home?..."swara asked while glaring at her grandfather.

"you always crash on bed after coming.what happened today?..."daandayal asked and smiled seeing breakfast ready on table.

"you know that i learn from my mistakes and yesterday i released that skipping breakfast is not good at all..."swara said while remembering her unsuccessful attempts to come out from sanskar's grip.

"that's good...."he said and sits on head seat.swara also seats on side chair and serves food to daandayal.

"why did you send the guards back?....i am very upset from you because of that.i told you its not safe for you still you send them back."

"you are upset from me?..."swara asked with one raised eyebrow while applying butter on bread with knife.

"shouldn't i?...you are becoming disobedient day by day"he glares at her.

"i am double upset from you..."swara said in anger filled voice,while pointing knife toward him.

"what did i do?..."daandayal asked while moving her hand down and glares at her.

"because you are becoming careless from my side day by day....why didn't you tell me that bastard is out from cell but leave that....even after knowing the fact you left me alone at night,how can you be so careless."

"i did send guards for your security but you send them back..."

"your good for nothing guards came so late....but leave that when that psychotic jerk make you captive in your own headquarter when all policemen were there then what your four guards would have done huh?"swara said while putting butter on bread in furious way.daandayal opens his mouth to say something but swara cut him between.

"you know leave all this just tell me why don't you take my advises seriously?...."

"which advice?.."

"how many times i told you,there is only one way to end crimes.....E-N-C-O-U-N-T-E-R......do you know what this word is,its encounter why didn't you shot him when he was behind bars."swara said and again points knife toward him.

"what's the use of doing encounter?...he will die and someone else will take his place but crime don't stop like this therefore we have to follow law....if he will get punishment according to government's law then its a lesson for others."daandayal said in soft yet serious tone and didn't forgot to move her hand down.

"oooooh! you want to create history for whole India......'TALE OF VERY HONEST POLICE-OFFICER AND PSYCHOTIC BASTARD' but let me tell you during this battle,innocent people like us die."swara said while keeping hand on her chest.

"and i don't want to die so soon....i have so many unfulfilled dreams."swara said in horrified tone.

"i think i should start fulfilling them....don't know when i will..."swara said and moves her hand on her neck like cutting it and acted to die by throwing her head to side and sticking her tongue out on side of her lips.

daandayal chuckled at her antics and sanskar just smiled.

"dreams?..."daandayal asked with one raised brows.sanskar's eyes turned curious also.

"yes!...give me your credit card,i will go for shopping tomorrow"swara said in firm voice,making daandayal laugh loudly while sanskar just starred at her innocent face.

"what's so funny?..."swara narrowed her eyes at her grandfather.he controls his laugh,takes out his wallet and slides his credit card toward her.

"thank you grandpa...."swara gets happy,jumps from her seat and hugs him.

"its means i am not grounded anymore?..."swara asked with twinkling eyes.

"no you are still grounded...its just for tomorrow because your dream of doing shopping is very important."daandayal said while chuckling.

"it is important..."swara said and punched him on shoulder.he kisses on her head and swara gets straight.

"now i am going for sleep because in evening kavita and kavya is coming and we are going for party..."swara said excitedly.

"no parties....don't forget you are still grounded."daandayal said in serious tone.

"please grandpa!..."swara said sweetly.daanadayl shook his head.

"but its kavita's birthday....she asked with so much love,please grandpa."swara said while batting her eyelashes and making most innocent face of the world.daanadayl sighed and nodded.swara exclaimed happily and runs toward her room.daandayal shook his head and sanskar closes the laptop.

"where were you hiding her till now?..."

*********************************

EVENING

"you have become more gorgeous now...."daandayal complimented kavya while she blushed.she was wearing royal blue pencil dress which was backless.

"thank you uncle..."

"how am i looking?..."swara asked after stepping down from stairs and twriled in front of her grandfather with bright smile.she was wearing a black short dress with lace work.it was backless till half of her waist and was reaching down from knees.she had done a smokey make up on eyes and natural pink lipstick on lips.she made her hair curled and had kept them on side.

"gorgeous!..."kavya said with smile.

"go change your dress right now..."daandayal said in no nonsense tone.swara's mouth gets open a little at that.

"uncle she is not a kid any more....and we will be late"kavya said and sign swara not to change.

"No i will change...just five minute."swara said with sweet smile.kavya closed her eyes when swara turned and went upstairs.after 10 minutes she again comes out and stands in front of him.

Kavya pressed her lips and looked at daandayal's face expressions.swara was wearing white short dress which was exactly till her knees and it was strapless.it was fitted to her like second skin.

"i told you to wear less revealing clothes...."daandayal glares at her.

"should i go and change?.."swara asked innocently.

"off course...GO!"daandayal said and swara nodded.

After 5 minutes she again came out wearing black dress.it was strapless short dress,reaching just above her knees and it was backless deep down till her waist.

"you didn't like this one also?...should i go and change?i have plenty of time."swara asked with both raised eyebrows.kavya keeps hand on mouth to stop her loud laughter.

"don't use my tricks on me?..go wear the first one,it was much better than all these."daaandayal gave her his best death glare.swara smiles triumphantly turned and went toward her room.

"why does he forget i am his granddaughter..."swara said while shaking her head while going toward her room.she comes out from room after 10 minutes.she steps down from stiars saw kavita talking with daandayal.

"happy birthday dear..."daandayal wished kavita.swara's eyes widened after hearing that.

"who's birthday?..."kavita asked confusingly.swara opens her clutch quickly,takes out a ballpoint.she closed her one eye,bites her tongue between morals while aiming at kavita and throw it with full force.

"Bingo!...."swara said happily as ballpoint hit kavita's head as she was facing opposite side to swara.she turned and looked at swara while rubbing her head.swara showed her eyes.

"oh! i see...off course its my birthday,thank you so much for letting swara come with us."kavita quickly understands.swara smiles,goes and stands beside kavita.she throw daggers at her.

*******************************

NIGHT CLUB

"you are also going to drink with us..."kavya said to swara in warning when waiter put their drinks on table.kavya picks up a shot and offers to swara.

"grandpa will kill me if i went home drunk...."swara shaking her head side to side and pushes her hand back.

"let her be...she is still a kid"kavita said while mocking at her.

"you are boring...."kavya makes face and drinks vodka in one gulp.swara rolls her eyes at her friends comment.kavita and kavya finishes their shot and went to dance floor.swara keeps hand at her palm while keeping elbow joint on table and start looking at her friends.she laughed after seeing them dancing like crazy as they were totally drunk by now.

Meanwhile a waiter comes there and offers her red wine glass.swara looks at him confusingly.

"ma'am this is for you..."he said obediently.

"thank you but i don't drink...."swara refused with small smile.

"ma'am it is rose berry bliss(cocktail)...."he said in same tone.swara reluctantly picks up glass.

"who send this?..."swara asked after picking up but waiter turned and left without answering her.

"Aish! waiters are so rude here...."swara muttered to herself.

"should i drink it or not...."swara asked from herself while looking at drink.

"i am thirsty..."swara said,shrugged her shoulders and takes one sip.Exact at that lights went out.swara looks around,there was small golden lights were emitting out from long bar counter and tables and light blue lights were coming out from dance floor and a round disco ball were spreading dim rainbow colors light everywhere.Except that everything was dark but music was still on peak.Everyone hooted at the romantic atmosphere.

"not bad..someone spend a lot money on this club."swara said in impressed tone and takes another sip.

"swara come....let's have some fun."kavita comes toward her and tried to drag her but swara shook her head vigorously.

"i don't know how to dance..."

"what do you think,everyone here is professional dancer....no one is,you just have move your body according to beat."kavita said in scolding tone and drags her forcefully to dance floor.

Swara stands akwardly between her crazy friends who were trying their best to crack the beautiful floor.

"poor floor!..."swara muttered,feeling pity for it.

"can i go now?.."swara asked in pleading voice.

"therefore i told you to have a drink...."kavya glares at her.

"thank you..."swara said and started walking toward her table.she kept on striking with different people because it was dark and very small light was coming out from floor.when she was going to step down from floor,she pulled back in strong grip.

"who?..."swara asked in shocked voice.her heart beat increased to fast speed when the person slides his arms around her waist like caging her.

"when there is darkness then understand its me...."sanskar whispered in her ear as his lips touched her ear lobe.swara's eyes widened after hearing his voice.
