"Sanskar?" Swara whispered to herself. Swara felt like Sanskar was there near to her. Her heart, bet like a drum.

Laksh was talking to someone over the phone. Lavanya was busy polishing her nails while humming a song. Arpita was laying on the floor, tired of everything.

Swara looked around everyone. Laksh and Lavanya were busy. Suddenly she felt a touch at her hands which were tied to the chair. Swara's chair was placed near the window in the hall.

With a jerk, Swara turned. She saw Sanskar standing outside the window, which was now open. Swara was so shocked to respond. Tears came from her pale face as she knew that Sanskar will put an end to this whole drama. Sanskar, who became so much emotional and angry by seeing Swara in that condition, signalled her to keep quiet.

"So Laksh, when we are gonna inform my Sanskar about them?" Lavanya asked when she was done with her nails.

"Maybe tomorrow or after. I won't let them track us, no matter what!" Laksh replied while disconnecting the call. Swara who heard this left out a giggle.

"You little girl, how dare you to giggle at me!" Laksh came and raised his hands to slap her. "I'm ready, you will be yours," Arpita declare so that Laksh won't harm Swara anymore, without looking at anyone.

"No, Arpita! You love Aryan..." Swara became shocked to hear what Arpita said.

"You can't stop me, Swara!" Arpita whispered looking at her floor with no emotions.

"I can stop you, can't I?" Every one searched for the fifth voice which echoed in the hall. They weren't stupid enough to not understand that rigid and husky voice belonged to the great Sanskar Maheshwari.

"What the hell! Sanskar?" Laksh was the first one to react. Sweat buds formed in his forehead. "Lavanya, I didn't expect this from you." Laksh went and took his gun.

"Bhai, trust me! It isn't me!" Even she was frightened by Sanskar's appearance.

"Tsk...tsk...Laksh! What you thought that, only you know to play the game?" Sanskar asked with his typical sarcasm. Laksh looked at him with a nervous smile.

"Sanskar, where is Aryan?" Arpita got up and asked. "I'm here." Aryan came inside the hall. Arpita went and hugged him tightly. Laksh, who saw this clenched his fits.

"Hands up, everyone!" Laksh said and shot at the air. Sanskar smirked at his act.

"Really? I have already informed Kolkata police about this. And if you go on harming us, it won't be a good thing for you!" Sanskar threatened Laksh.

Sanskar went and removed the chains from Swara's hand. Sanskar hugged Swara tightly. Swara reciprocated the hug hesitantly.

"I know it Laksh! When I came to know about your bloody hands on Aryan and Arpita's separation, I managed to install a GPS in my car. Also, for the security purpose of Arpita, I made Aryan wore her a chain, which had a tracking device." Sanskar disclosed it looking at Swara.

When Sanskar failed to track Laksh, he made a plan to install a GPS in his car. Also, he bought two chains in which there was a tracking device. Sanskar asked Aryan to make Arpita wore the chain.

When Sanskar gave the chain to Swara, she denied wearing that. If Swara had worn that chain, then today Arpita and Aryan won't be in trouble. Sanskar himself could have managed to rescue Swara from these monsters.

"No!! This isn't happening! Sanskar, I need you. I love you, Sanskar..." Lavanya pleaded in front of him. Sanskar, Arpita and Aryan looked at her shocked. They didn't expect this from her. They thought that she was doing this out of love towards her brother.

"Love? What are you blabbering, Lavanya? Are you drunk! Look, I know that you aren't well. But whatever you are blabbering is just nonsense!" Sanskar shouted immediately.

"No, Sanskar...I'm alright! I'm not insane. I have been loving you from my college days itself and was dreaming to have a happy life with you, Sanskar." Lavanya whispered silently.

"What are you even saying? You have been in love with him from college days itself. But you weren't in our college, right?" Aryan asked with a confused expression.

"I saw my Sanskar at a party. I fell for him at first sight itself. I started to dream of my life with him. I portrayed myself as his lover, girlfriend and wife! After completing my masters, I joined Maheshwari company hiding my identity, so I could get his attention. By manipulating Sanjay, I faked my records and passed my interview 4 years ago." Lavanya started to say.

"And that's when I came to know that my Sanskar was behind you. I used my influence and made the artificial documents about you. I wrote that you are a bitch and a drug addict. Bit still, he came and married you... " Lavanya run and held Swara's throat. Sanskar tried his maximum to release her from Lavanya's grip. But she clutched Swara more tightly. At last, Sanskar slapped Lavanya and she released the grip.

"You slapped me...that too for this bit-" Lavanya started to say ill about Swara. "Just a word against Swara. I'm gonna kill you with my bare hands!" Sanskar whispered dangerously to Lavanya.

Lavanya became sacred and stood away from Swara. Swara looked at Sanskar in horror. Now she got a clear idea about his behaviour towards her. She understood that he believed and judged her in the aspects of those fake documents.

"Enough of this drama!" Laksh said while pointing his gun towards Arpita. When everyone was busy in Sanskar-Lavanya talk, Laksh managed to drag Arpita into his clutches.

"No, Laksh!" Aryan cried out.

"Sorry, bro! If she can't be mine, then she can't be yours too. I'm gonna kill her." Laksh shouted making everyone fearful.

"You know what, Arpita...I have loved you always. In fact, I was in love with you even before this fool have proposed you. But I didn't confess my feelings thinking that you would embarrass me. You know, I was always an innocent and good boy in the college. And when I came to know that you and Aryan were officially a couple, I started to play my cards. I tried many ways to separate you. But everything was on vain." Laksh said venomously. 

"And that's when I started to use my hypnotism skills. When I came to know that, Sanskar has some feelings towards Swara who was Arpita's best friend, I used Swara as the first prey. I tried to create a rift between the four of you. I hypnotised and framed Swara as a characterless girl in front of Swara. I gave drugs and made her impression appearance in front of Sanskar nasty and terrible." Swara looked at him stunned. So, he used her...Swara's mind became blank.

"And that worked out. Sanskar started disliking Swara. And then, my next plan was to separate Aryan and Arpita. Even without my knowledge, Varun became a victim. He helped me without knowing anything. And it became successful. Aryan doubted Arpita's love. But still, luck wasn't with me. I came to know that Arpita was pregnant with Aryan's child. And I understood that she was going to announce that news to Aryan." Arpita looked at him controlling her tears. Aryan was looking at the ground with regret. 

"But even before Arpita could reach Aryan, I went and hypnotised him and gave a drug to him. Everything Aryan said on that day was because of the effects of drugs. And they broke up forever. I faked my sympathy to Arpita and forced her to do the abortion. After, I helped her to build her career in London. Everything went well. Arpita with the help of my counselling was almost back into the normal. But on that day, this little go called and asked her about Aryan. After that, Arpita started to reminisce about the past. I tried to the maximum to stop her from coming into India, but she did." Arpita was crying.

"That's why I planned something big. At first, I wanted to get rid of this little girl. I informed Lavanya, who was madly in love with Sanskar about trapping Swara. But I never thought that her plan will be this blunder!" Laksh confessed his deads without any shame or regret. Everyone stood there stunned. Swara looked at Sanskar without showing any emotions. A tear slipped from Sanskar's eyes.

"You bloody..." Arpita was the first one to react. She slapped around Laksh's face tightly by struggling in his clutches. Her face showed hate and regret.

"You..." Arpita was dragged by Lavanya who got hyper angry while seeing her slapping Laksh.

"Leave her, Lavanya," Swara ordered looking at her.

"Don't block my way. I'm gonna-" Lavanya tried to threaten Swara.

"You are not going to do anything," Swara said with an attitude.

"Lavanya, do you really think that Laksh is helping you?" Aryan asked suddenly. Lavanya looked her him confused. They had had enough of everything.

"He was just using you for his won benefits. Try to look at his deeds!" Aryan tried to manipulate Lavanya against Laksh. Lavanya suddenly turned and looked at Laksh who stood their nervously.

"Do you know what, he was trying to frame you and escape from India with Arpita," Sanskar confessed the truth on which everyone looked at him shocked. Even Aryan wasn't aware of it.

"Here's are the proofs..." Sanskar started to play some audios.

"Hello, it's me Laksh Rajput. I'm going to murder Mrs Swara Maheshwari tonight. I need your small help. I don't want any police case or issues related to it. Even if anything comes, make some fake proofs and frame that crazy Lavanya." The voice message ended.

Lavanya looked at him shocked. Yes, she was obsessed with Sanskar, but her sisterly love towards Laksh was true. And that's why she risked her own life and faked every document about Swara. But now, she wasn't able to think anything. Her heart ached.

"Is this true, bhai?" Lavanya broke down.

"No...dont trust him, Lavanya?" Laksh tried to lie again.

Laksh was the real monster. He planned everything from London only. He thought to get married to Arpita somehow by convincing her. But that's when Swara's phone came and Arpita went again to the past. That triggered Laksh like anything. He made a plan to murder Swara. He knew that Aryan was in comma and Sanskar hated Swara. So it was easy for him to kill her without anyone's knowledge. He thought that after killing Swara, he could live a happy life with Arpita.

He also planned to get rid of Lavanya too. Once, Lavanya had blackmailed to expose Laksh when Sanskar got married to Swara. But Laksha somehow controlled the situation by using his manipulative words. And then he found a solution for that too. He made a plan to frame Lavanya along with the Swara's murder case.

"How could I trust you? You have said that you loved Arpita more than anything. But then, now you tried to kill her in front of my eyes. How could I trust you, bhai?" Lavanya questioned him? Laksh got triggered.

Laksh took his gun without anything and shoot Lavanya at her chest. Everyone gasped looking at the scene happened in front of him.

"Lavanya..." Swara came running and held her.

"I'm so- sorry, Swa-ra. For-give me if you ca- can. I got punish- shment for my dee-ds..." Lavanya apologised while breathing heavily.

"Let's take her to the hospital," Arpita said and held Lavanya's hand giving a disgusting look to, who was dragged by the police.

Sanskar has already informed police about the location. And when they came, they heard the sound of a shot. They saw, Laksh holding the gun and Lavanya lying on the floor in a pool of blood. They arrested him immediately.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"She is out of danger." The doctor came and announced. Sanskar and Arpita sighed in relief. They saw Aryan and Swara sitting on the bench looking at the ground.

"Swara, Aryan...Lavanya is out of danger." Arpita chirped.

"Arpita, go and help Swara to get bandaged. I have already informed the doctor about her wounds." Sanskar instructed Arpita in which she nodded and took Swara.

"Did you contact the police station?" Aryan asked Sanskar who was looking at the phone.

"Yes, I have asked them for Laksh. At first, they hesitated, but then gave permission." Sanskar said proudly by a smirk.

"So, now what's remaining?" Aryan asked him.

"The punishment," Sanskar said with a wicked smile.

How's it?

Guys, as I promised I will be updating the chapter every day. But I'm not at all sure about the time schedule. I write when I get a mood. That's why it's happening.

So, what do you think about Laksh? He shot his own blood...

So, you guys still need to punish Lavanya or not. As it's said, remorse and regret is the biggest punishment anyone could get, I really don't want to make Lavanya suffer more. She was obsessed with Sanskar. She was a mentally unstable woman too. But still, Laksh used her for his selfish motive. She got betrayed by her own blood too..

I need my reader's opinion about it.
