I love you, Swara.

CHAPTER: 26

|•|

Sanskar.

Now, Laksh was out of our lives. I felt truly happy. Arpita and Aryan have suffered so much because of him. Now they could live a life without any misunderstandings or hurdles. But my heart ached thinking about Swara. I misunderstood her. I judged her wrong. I was guilty. I cursed myself for trusting Sanjay more than my own conscience. Now, the mistake was done, I can't help it. I sighed.

It would almost a week after. Everything was alright. Papa and badipapa managed to crack the deal. Mom and badimaa were back into the mansion. Even Swara started to attend office conferences regarding the new project. But what didn't changed was her behaviour towards me. Swara was ignoring and avoiding me like a plague. Maybe, now I need to face my karma.

I know whatever I did was a sin. In fact, I shouldn't have judged her character like that. I shouldn't have named her like that. I wish I could disappear from this world and make everything fine.

Now, everyone was seated for dinner. Swara was serving the food. Her face was pale and faint. Suddenly I became concerned about her health. What if, she wasnt taking the foods on time? What if, she was caught with some disease?

"Laksh Rajput gets arrested for his illegal drug business." The news was flashing everywhere. Swara looked at me shocked. I just smirked at her as a response.

"These kids naa..." I heard badipapa saying.

"It would be really painful to his family members," Papa said awfully. I ignored all of them and enjoyed eating the food which was prepared by Swara. I was a foodie. And now, my favourite dish was her handmade food. I won't admit it ever, but her dishes were mystic. I can never get tired of eating that.

"Sanskar, where is Sanjay? I heard that he resigned from our company." Papa asked me. Now, everyone's gaze were on me.

"I don't know. He just resigned by saying that his wife wasn't well." I lied. Swara looked at me and shook her head.

After eating dinner, I got up and washed my hands. Swara was taking the plates to the kitchen.

"Swara, come to the room," I announced and ascended the stairs. It was my last try. I know she won't avoid my words as everyone heard what I told her. So she was ought to come.

"What's wrong with you, Mr Maheshwari?" I heard Swara yelling at me. I smiled at her and closed the door.

"Swara, woh...I'm...I'm...so-sorry." I stammered. Swara looked at me with null emotions. I tried not to cry in front of her.

"Sorry? For what? I'm a drug addict, right? I'm a bitch, right? Mr Maheshwari, I sleep around boys. Why-" I got angry at her words. I pulled her towards me and looked deep into her eyes. I saw some hidden emotions inside it. 

"Another word, you are gonna see the worst inside of me," I warned her. Yes, I know I have been a jerk! But now, I understood my mistakes. Now, I won't give upon her. I will try my maximum to beg her pardon. 

"Really? But I have already seen it! Don't you remember, you have hit and slapped me? And what makes you worst than that?" Swara questioned. I lowered my head with shame.

"Swara, at that time, I was so lost in my so-called revenge. I failed to understand the right and wrong." I tried to start a conversation with her.

"Swara, please trust me..." I broke down. I saw Swara looking at me without any emotion.

"How could I trust you, Mr Maheshwari? You married me for completing your revenge! You married me because your friend asked you to make my life a living hell!" Swara shouted. I looked at her and cried.

"Yes, but now-" I tried to find an answer. "If you haven't found that, Laksh and Lavanya were behind everything, what would have you done? Just look at it, Mr Maheshwari..." Swara stated. I stood their speechless.

Yes, whatever she said was true. If we haven't found about Laksh and Lavanya, I would be still accusing and torturing her. My heart ached at the reality. What was I supposed to do?

"Swara, please... I will endure every punishment. Everyone deserves a second chance." I cried out. I know, I was behaving like a newborn. But I don't care because I was crying and begging in front of my legally wedded wife, Swara!

"Not just a word! Mr Sanskar Maheshwari, you ruined my life, you destroyed my dreams. But no, I won't give you any punishments. Because I'm tired of fighting. I have taken a decision for myself and I'm going to do that!"  Swara whispered dangerously. I looked at her confused.

She went and took some papers from the cupboard. I looked at it curiously. She came in front of me and said, "I need-" She threw the papers in front of me and pointed to the floating papers, "-divorce". I looked at her stunned. Divorce?

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

I kept on looking at the sky without blinking my eyes. How beautiful the moon was. How beautiful the stars were. How beautiful the entire universe was. Suddenly I thought about Swara's divorce proposal. My spirit was shrinking. I closed my eyes to ignore the turmoil happening inside my mind.

I don't know why but I wasn't able to relax after the encounter with her. My heart was trying to say something to me. My heart was conveying something. I know I don't love her. But still, there was something that was disturbing me. When she herself called her a bitch, I felt like the world stopped. I know, I have hurt her so much. I know, I have questioned her character. And I know, I'm worth for her punishment. If the divorce will give her everything, I'm ready for it.

I opened my eyes ans saw a smiling Swara at the sky. I looked into the sky deeply. Tears brimmed my eyes making my sight blurred. I wiped my tears and rubbed my eyes to see Swara. I stared at the sky without taking a blink. What if, Swara goes away from me if I blink? No Sanskar, you can't take the risk. I know that she doesn't love me. But the emotions arising inside me, whenever I see her, wasn't worth defining. It was only could be felt. I love her! The more I tried to ignore the fact, the more my heart squeezed me into a lost world. What have you done to me, Swara!

I got Aryan's call. I took it by a ring.

"What's up, my highness..." I faked a laugh and asked.

"Sanskar? Are you alright?" Shit! He sensed my fake laugh. "Nothing, I'm just tired, Aryan." I managed to lie.

"You can't lie to your mirror! You love her, right?" Aryan asked. I left out a hum.

"Say like a man!" Aryan yelled from the other side. "Yes, more than anyone else in this world," I replied intensely. I heard Aryan chuckling.

"Now what's so funny?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Nothing, bro! All you need to do is, to propose her." Aryan baba disclosed as if I don't know a thing about love!

"Really? Thanks for your advice. Now, get lost!" I shouted. "Wait, Wait...dont disconnect! Mine and Arpita's marriage is fixed. It's for 2 weeks." Aryan seriously said. I nodded my head and is disconnect the call.

"So Mr Maheshwari, what's your decision?" Suddenly Swara appeared from nowhere. I got stuck in her melodious voice.

"So it's your punishment to me?" I asked her immediately. "No, Mr Maheshwari, I can't punish you!" Swara said with some emotions which I wasn't able to understand.

"You hates me...so it's better for both of us," Swara stated. How much I wanted to scream I love you, Swara to this world. But somewhere my voice got glued.

"I will sign them," I said controlling my tears and rushed away from her. I could see many emotions flowing through her eyes. But why?

I got inside the washroom and looked at my reflection. Yes, she deserves a better life. She deserves a better husband. A better husband? My heart crushed at the thought. Swara, can't you give me a chance? I will prove myself. But I wasn't so courageous to go in front of her and ask again. I don't deserve her. I don't deserve the second chance too.

I came out of the room after washing my face. I saw Swara arranging the papers.

"So here you are, take it and sign," Swara ordered. I took the papers, but didn't found her signature on it.

"Where is your's?" I muttered. " I will sign it after you," Swara replied incoherently. I nodded and signed closing my eyes.

After signing, I gave the papers to her. Swara took and signed it without giving me a glance. It's done! I'm ruined, completely. Maybe it was my destiny. I rushed outside my room to avoid a break down in front of her.

So, Sanskar realised his feelings. And they signed a mutual divorce paper!
