CHAPTER: 09

Swara.

I could see darkness everywhere. I don't know, where I was. Then the realization hit me. I was in Sanskar's room. I tried to make a move. But alas! It hurts. I slept there itself not able to bear the pain.

Slowly light was coming out from the windows. I looked around. I became shocked. It wasn't Sanskar's room, but mine. How come I reached here? Yesterday's events came into my mind. I was lying on his marble floor. But, now--

Somehow I managed to get up from the bed. I looked into the mirror, for glimpsing my appearance. I could see a bandage on my forehead. Even, my hair smelled like an ointment. What was that? Who did put it on my forehead? Sanskar? Never! He was an animal. He can't pity someone. Then who?

I tried to walk. By taking baby steps, I reached the edge of the bed. But something gained my attention. It was a mobile phone. It wasn't mine. I'm sure, It was the person's who comforted me yesterday night. I took the phone and switched it on. Sanskar!! It was Sanskar's phone. I saw Aryan's and Sanskar's image as the profile photo. But, why did he even do these all things to me? He hates me, right? So he started pitying me. Great!

Why did he suddenly become bipolar? Yesterday, I understood, he doesn't have any humanity. Which person will harm a girl in the name of revenge. I'm not understanding a thing. Anyways, I will not fall on his trap. I know, how to take a stand. He could beat or slap me. But that won't stop me from voice outing my thoughts.

My trance got broke due to the banging of the door. I saw Sanskar entering the room. I looked at his and saw a blank expression. Huh! I don't care.

"Get ready. We are going to Kolkata. " He announced and I felt so happy. I shook my face. I didn't ask about his bipolar behaviour. Maybe I will get a good opportunity than this in the future.

I went into the bathroom and had a bath. After changing the clothes, I came outside. I saw, Sanskar sitting on the couch. He was doing something on the phone. For the first time, he didn't shout. I felt unknown happiness inside my heart. It's temporary, Swara! My mind warned.

Soon we boarded our flight. Both stood quite. After some time, I slept because of tiredness. Time fled away. We landed on Kolkata. I felt solace. We went to Maheshwari mansion.

"Swara-----" mom came running into me. She gave me a bear hug. I started to choke out. Oh my!

"Sujata, leave her! She is choking." Mom realised her grip when badi maa said those words. Everyone was smiling at mom's gesture.

"Swara!!! What happened to your forehead?" Oh no! Mom spotted the bandage. What am I supposed to say? Lie. Yes, I should lie.

"She slipped from the bathroom." It was Sanskar who spoke. I looked at him with disdain. He lied so easily as if he was prepared for this question.

"You should have to be careful, Swara!" Badi maa warned me. I smiled at her.

"Don't stress yourself, beta." Papa came forward. I took his blessings. I think badi papa wasn't at home. Otherwise, it would be him asking me all these things.

"Jiji, look at her! How thin she had become." Mom started her drama. I felt like to laugh loudly.

"Sujata, she was just away from us for a week. You are behaving like she was coming here after 2-3 years." Yeah! Mom is too much. What badi maa said was true.

"Still, she is my daughter. I need to be cautious about her health " Mom was all set to defend herself. I smiled at her.

"Sujju, let them enter inside." Papa requested to mom. This family is a full packet of fun and drama. I miss my home.

It was evening and everyone was having their tea. I sat beside mom. We were having a random talk.

"Papa, I need to say something," I said to papa. I need to talk to him. I want to pursue my future. I can't talk about it to my so-called husband. His family was my only choice.

"Wait, Swara. Before that, I have something for you." It was badi papa who spoke. I haven't seen him since I arrived. Thank God! Even he was here.

"This is for you. Open this and read from it here itself." Papa gave me an envelope. I opened it eagerly.

Oh my!! It was an appointment letter to join Maheshwari Group of Companies as a system manager. I looked at everyone startled.

"I have talked with Shekhar. He doesn't have any problem for you working in our company." Papa announced and I saw Sanskar looking me shocked. So he wasn't aware of this, I think.

"I hope, even you are comfortable with this." Yes! I'm hell comfortable. It's high time. I want to work now. And if I'm working in front of my so-called husband, he will understand my worth.

"Why would I even have a problem. I'm really happy and excited." I genuinely said. All of them became happy. Mom came and congratulated me first. She fed me, sweets.

I felt very much blessed. Here, I came to talk about the same thing. But, they surprised me by handing me an appointment letter over.

"Between, Swara, you were able to say something. What was that?" It was badi maa who asked that?

"I came to talk about working only." I happily said and everyone smiled. I thought to make a call to my mom. I hurriedly went to my room to take my phone.

I entered our room. I made a call to my mom. Huh!! Why did I even call her. Even she knows about it already. Yeah! Dad had discussed the same thing to her. She was happy for me, as I got such a sweet family.

"So madamji is flying high, right?" There comes my so-called husband. How much did I hate his sarcasm?

"Why shouldn't I? Don't I have that right also?" I mocked him. I could see him growling at him. I'm not afraid of him anymore. Yesterday, he saw the worst out of him.

"No, you don't have. Even if you want to breathe, you need to ask my permission. Did you get that? Mind you, you would be crying out because of this decision of yours. You want to work, right? I will show you the hell now." I looked at him. His face was blank. I wondered how could someone be this emotionless.

"I don't care! You can do whatever you want. Yes, if I speak or act the way you dislike, maybe you will slap me. But, I just don't care. I have had enough of your shit. I'm my dad's princess. I know to protect myself. I don't need any knight in shining armour." Now I'm confident. After meeting Sahil, I understood everything. He opened my eyes.

He came to me. I know, next moment my hairs will be pulled. But I'm really to fight.

"Sanskar bhai..." Uttara came into our room. Thank God! He gave me a sharp look and went with her. I sighed and sat on the couch.

I texted Sahil about my job. He was happy for you. I asked me to take care of myself. I felt fortunate for having him as my support.

"Swara, mom is calling you." I heard Uttara shouting from downstairs. I hurriedly went to the downstairs.

"Swara, tomorrow you will be going to your house. I know you miss your family. You can come back after some days." Badi maa said lovely. I felt like to cry. I hugged her.

"It was my idea. But look, someone else got the credits." I heard mom fake coughing.

I rushed and hugged her too. I love this lady standing in front of me very much. I thanked God for giving them. Maybe Sanskar hates me, but for his family, I'm like their daughter. I don't want anything more than that.
