"Sanskar!!" Swara woke up from her sleep again. She was sweating hard. Her hands were trembling because of fear.

"Swara, you got a nightmare again?" Sanskar who heard her scream jerked and woke up. He held her hands assuring that he was with her.

"Swara, it has been almost 2 months. Why can't you come out of your fear?" Sanskar asked while rubbing her back. He took a glass of water and gave it to her. Swara gulped it in one go.

"I don't know Sanskar. I really don't know. That day, when I saw you lifelessly lying on the OT bed, I had lost my sense. And still, I was not able to live without fear of losing you, Sanskar." Swara broke down in his arms. Sanskar sighed and hugged her tightly.

"Swara, it's okay...I'm here, with you. I won't leave you ever, even if you wish too." Sanskar tried to console her. Swara was still shivering in his arms. That day has affected her so much that till now, she wasn't able to come out of it.

Swara ran from there without any destination. She reached outside devastated. Her face was pale and red.

"Swara?" She heard a very familiar voice and turned her heels to see the person. Her eyes were blurry because of a continuous sob. But still, she managed to identify the person, Sahil!

"Sahil..." Swara hugged him tightly and cried out. Sahil who came to know everything from news channel tried to console her.

"Sahil, he went..." Swara chocked.

"He can't leave you, Swara. Your love story hasn't even started yet. He can't leave you..." Sahil uttered. Swara who heard this broke the hug and looked straight into his eyes.

"How can you be so sure?" Swara asked like a child, who lost his favourite puppy.

"You are alive, Swara...neither your love..." Sahil muttered intensely. Swara who heard this turned her heels running towards the hospital.

Swara went inside the OT after getting permission from the doctor. She saw a lifeless Sanskar lying on the bed. His body was filled with different wires. His mouth was covered with an oxygen mask. The ECG machine, beside him was showing a straight line. And she knows the meaning of it.

Swara moved towards him. He was lying with closed eyes.

"Sans...Sanskar...ar..." Swara called him.

"Wake up, Sanskar. You can't leave me like this. Don't you want to hear, I love you from me? Don't want my forgiveness? Don't you want to live with me? Don't you?" Swara broke down and fell on the floor.

"Take it, Mr Maheshwari! I love you! I have loved you from the very beginning itself. You were my crush from school days. And then, I really don't know when you became my everything. You are the answer to my every question, Sanskar. You are the heartbeat of my heart." Swara sobbed.

"You can't do this to us. You deserve me, Sanskar. Only you deserve me! Noone would sacrifice his hardwork for someone. You gave me the CEO's post, right? Don't you want to see me settling on that chair?" Swara yelled.

"Sanskar, when I asked you to prove your love towards me...I didn't think that it would cost your life. You saved me by sacrificing your's." Swara said and stood up.

"I don't deserve you, Sanskar. I'm coming with you...Let's live together in heaven." Swara whispered and took a blade nearby.

"I love you, Sanskar. It was you, always." Swara whispered and brought the blade near to her wrist.

Suddenly she saw the electric cardiograph moving. It showed that Sanskar's heart was beating again. Swara looked at it shocked. Tears rolled through her eyes. She rushed and went to him throwing the blade away.

"Sanskar?" Swara held his hand and called his name. She saw his hands moving.

"Doctor..." Swara runs outside.

"My Sanskar is alive. His heart is beating. Please, look at him." Swara begged by folding his hands. Ram and Durga Prasad become shocked.

"Doctor, please check his pulse. Maybe she is right." Durga Prasad said on which the doctor nodded.

Swara stood there leaning on the wall. Arpita came forward and said, "Everything will be alright." Swara hugged tightly and cried.

"Mrs Maheshwari, it's a miracle!" The doctor came running and said. Everyone had hope in their face.

"He is alive. Now, out of danger. You can meet him after 4 hours." The doctor announced and walked away talking to the nurse.

"Swara, my Sanskar is alive. And it is because of you. I don't know, what you did to him inside the OT some moments ago. But you are an angel, Swara. You have given him a life. His heart is beating, only because of you." Ram Prasad hugged her and said.

"No, Papa. I haven't done anything. Everything has happened because of our faith in God." Swara broke the hug and said.

"I know, you loved him selflessly. May God bless you, dear." Durga Prasad blessed her.

4 hours! Swara walked here and there without drinking a glass of water. She was praying and distributing sweets to all. After a lot of sufferings, she was finally happy.

"Sahil, you were right! He can't leave me like this. He came back..." Swara screamed and hugged him. Sahil, who came back after making a call, became so delighted to hear the it.

"I knew it, Swara. Your love was true. There is no power which can win without the magic of love. And here, your love, your trust have won." Sahil whispered into her ears.

"Thankyou for everything." Swara genuinely thanked him.

"Oh god! Now I need to hear thanks from my sister! Huh!" Sahil sighed dramatically. Swara who heard this giggled.

"Swara, come. You haven't had the food, yet. Now come and eat something." Arpita walked to them and said.

"What? You hadn't eaten anything?" Sahil freaked out. Swara gave him a million megavolt smile. "No, no...I'm not going to fall for it. Go and have your food, Swara. And yeah, Arpita...if she makes any drama, call me. I have my own ways to make her eat!" Sahil declared smirking.

"You know what? I hate you!" Swara yelled and went cursing him. Sahil chuckled and sat on the chair nearby checking the mails.

"Mr Maheshwari, Mrs Maheshwari, you can see him now." The doctor came and announced.

"Swara, you know Sujata isn't well...So you can meet him first. I and Ram will be coming only after talking with the doctor about Sujata." Durga Prasad said on which Swara nodded.

Swara opened the door and took baby steps. Her heart was beating so fast. Her hands were trembling. She knows, she was going to meet her Sanskar. And she was afraid of his response. She saw Sanskar sitting on the bed looking outside.

"Sans...Sanskar..." Her soft voice echoed his ears. He turned his head and looked at her intensely.

"Swara, are you alright?" Sanskar tried to get out of the bed.

"Sanskar, it's you, who isn't alright!" Swara went to him and held his arms.

"What was the need for saving me taking the bullets your own?" Swara asked him.

"Swara, I can't imagine the rest of my life without you. I can't even see you getting hurt. That's why I pushed and took the bullets." Sanskar explained, looking at her lovely.

"Yes, I asked you to prove your love towards me! But that doesn't mean that you should risk your life!" Swara yelled. Sanskar left a chuckle out.

"Swara, for me, it's you...so it doesn't matter if I love or di-" Sanskar laughed and said. "Don't! You can't leave me, Sanskar. You have become my everything. You are the only answer to my every prayer." Swara hugged him tightly.

"I love you, Senorita." Sanskar broke the hug and said kissing her hand.

"In your arms is where I truly belong, Sanskar. I love you too..." Swara said sealing her lips with him.

They kissed. Their kiss told a different kind of story. There was love, pain, hurt, loneliness and passion. Their tongue rolled into each other's corner. It became a wild one.

"Is it hot here or it is just you?" Sanskar whispered after breaking the kiss. Swara blushed and gave him a peck at his forehead.

"Ooye, first you kissed me. And now, pecked my forehead. Are you trying to steal the duty of a boyfriend?" Sanskar asked raising his eyebrow.

"There is no boyfriend-girlfriend in a relationship, okay! Also, you are my husband, not any boyfriend." Swara yelled.

"So, did you forgive me? If not, I'm ready to beg your forgiveness, again!" Sanskar asked.

"I did! When I saw you lying on my lap with blood, I forgive you. When I saw you lying lifelessly on the bed, I forgive you. When I realised that I can't live without you, I forgive you." Swara mumbled emotionally.

"Swara, don't forgive me because of sympathy. I don't deserve you." Sanskar said and a tear rolled from his eyes.

"Really? So you think that I forgave you out of sympathy? Also, you are saying that you don't deserve me?" Swara glared at him. "Mr Maheshwari, no one deserves me more than you. No one can love me like you. Your love was perfect. Yes, you have behaved like a jerk. But, everyone needs a second chance and you won in that. No matter what happens, people are tend to move on. And we will too." Swara explained to him.

"Swara, you are a blessing," Sanskar said and hugged her again.

"Swara, where are you lost?" Sanskar asked being confused.

"Nowhere, Sanskar. I just thought about that day." Swara replied hugging him.

"Acchaa...now sleep. You know, tomorrow morning we have to do many things. You can't keep on thinking about that day, okay!" Sanskar ordered. Swara smiled and slept cuddling him.

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

"Swara, wake up! You can't be lazy..." Sanskar tried to wake Swara up. Nowadays, Swara was too much lazy. Or Swara was enjoying Sanskar's love and attention. Every day, Sanskar will wake up and gave her the coffee. Then, he will prepare breakfast and will serve Swara. And Swara will eat it like eternal.

Swara and Sanskar were in London for their honeymoon. And Swara used to make Sanskar run behind her back. Even though she had a fear of losing him after that incident, in front of Sanskar, she used to fake a smile like she was okay. But Swara was his love. And he knows her better than anyone. For distracting and assuring her, Sanskar used to stay flirting with her. He made her feel special.

Sanskar had even consulted a psychologist regarding Swara's condition. The psychologist assured him that she will overcome this situation with his support and encouragement. And this made him relaxed.

"Swara, your phone is vibrating. At least, wake up for answering it." Sanskar took the phone and gave her.

"Hey, bro! What's up?" It was Sahil. He too was residing in London with Vansh.

"Babydoll, how are you?" Sahil chirped.

"Bro, I'm fine...and yeah, today I and Sanskar are going for the wedding shopping along with Arpita and Aryan. If you want, you can accompany us." Yes, Sahil and Vansh were getting married finally. And Aryan and Arpita too were in London for attending their wedding function. It was truly a moment of happiness.

"Vansh has already designed the suits for us. Now, that monkey Veer is pending. You guys can take him with you." Sahil stated as a matter of fact.

"Yeye...then I will call Veer bro and tell about the shopping. And yeah, I really need to slap your lover, Vansh. How could he even neglect my wish saying that he can't design cloth for me as his hands will only knit for his love! Huh!" Swara angrily announced. Sahil laughed hard at her over the phone.

"Hey, Sahil...how are you?" Sanskar snatched the phone and asked.

"Hey, Sanskar..I'm good, bro! Happily getting married in a week." Sahil sighed dramatically. Sanskar chuckled.

"You are lucky bro. You have got a life partner who will take care of you. But poor me, look at your sister...still in bed only. And too drinking the coffee even without brushing her teeth. Yuck!" Sanskar made a disgusting face and said. Swara who heard it made faces and drunk the coffee in a go.

"Arree... it's you, who made her like this. Who asked you to take care of her like a baby. That's why naa, she became super lazy ultra max pro." Sahil giggled and replied.

"It's my fate, Sahil..." Sanskar sighed and wiped his fake tears dramatically.

"Oh, God! Both of you are so dramatic. I'm disconnecting the call, bye!" Swara grabbed the phone and disconnected.

"And you, Mrs Maheshwari, I will show you! Wait and watch!" Swara challenged him and got up from the bed.

"Have some shame, Swara. There is nothing in you, that I haven't seen. And now, you really want to show me everything?! control yourself as we need to go shopping." Sanskar shook his head. Swara who heard this become so red in colour.

"Stop blushing. And go and brush your teeth. Huh!" Sanskar yelled. Swara glared at him and walked away. Sanskar who saw her retreating figure giggled.

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

"Rajat, how is it?" Swara ramp walked around and asked. Sanskar who saw this clenched his fists. Aryan and Arpita giggled seeing them.

Swara, Sanskar, Aryan, Arpita, Veer came for the wedding shopping. And Swara was angry from Sanskar because he kept on mocking and teasing her on the way. So, for paying back, Swara run into Rajat, when she saw him at the same shopping mall. Now, Sanskar was really trying to control his anger and jealousy in front of them. He was pretending like he doesn't care.

"Sweetheart, you know...you look beautiful and extra hot in every dress." Rajat complimented her. Swara smirked at Sanskar.

"Then, I will take this dress. Thank-, " Swara saw a girl approaching Sanskar and hugging him. "-you so much, Rajat." Swara walked towards them. She saw Sanskar talking to the girl happily.

"Swara..." Rajat called her and came on her way.

"What? Go to hell!" Swara pushed him aside and moved to Sanskar leaving a confused Rajat behind. Arpita who saw this laughed hard.

"So, Neelam...what are you doing here?" Sanskar asked the girl who just came and hugged him.

"Just random shopping. You know my craze for dresses, right?" Neelam laughed.

"Oh yeah! How can I forget that? I have walked behind you holding those bundles, right." Sanskar chuckled and said. Swara made faces coming to them.

"Hey, I'm Swara, Sanskar's wife."  Swara pushed Sanskar and came in between their conversation.

"Hey, I'm Neelam, Sanskar's long lost friend." Neelam smiled and shook hands with her. Swara reciprocated a fake smile. When it comes to Sanskar, Swara is very possessive.

"But I haven't seen you in college. Didn't you studied with Aryan and Sanskar?" Swara asked out of nowhere.

"No, Swara. Actually, I and Sanskar did the internship together. That's how we became friends." Neelam explained. Swara nodded and glared at him. Sanskar pushed her and held Neelam's arms.

"Come on, Neelam. Today it's from my side." Sanskar dragged her and went to buy her some clothes.

Swara fumed and walked to Aryan for complaining.

"Aryan, your brother isn't playing fair enough. How dare he ignore me!" Swara faked wept.

"Swara, that was fair enough. You played with Rajat. And he, with Neelam. So it isn't unfair." Arpita explained.

"No, Arpi...how can you forget that he mocked and teased me about my clumsiness and laziness throughout our journey." Swara fake cried to gain Aryan's attention.

"I will talk with him, Swara." Aryan consoled her. Arpita shook her head annoyed. Swara smirked at her.

"Sanskar, shall we go? It's already night." Aryan went to Sanskar and asked. Sanskar looked at Neelam, who made a pout.

"Woh...Aryan, I can't make it. Actually, I and Neelam have planned for having dinner together." Sanskar said on which Swara grinned her teeth.

"Sanskar, please come here naa..." Swara dragged him in sugar-coated voice.

"I know, why you are behaving like this. But still, I haven't gone for a dinner date or something like that with Rajat. So mind you, if you hang out with that makeup witch, I swear, you won't be entering our room for a month! So, think about it." Swara warned in a very dangerous way and moved away. Sanskar stood there scratching his head.

"Neelam, I'm sorry! Let's make it some other day. Actually, I have an important video conference to attend. So, we will be taking a leave first." Sanskar lied. Swara had a winning smile on her face.

"Okay, then. Never mind! Bye, guys..." Neelam bid and bye and went from there.

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

"Ms Blackmailing queen, stop there," Sanskar called Swara out, who was walking to their room.

"What!?" Swara turned her heals and asked raising an eyebrow.

"What was that, Swara?" Sanskar held her arms and pulled her towards him. Swara tried to push him away. But his grip was so strong for her tiny hands.

"Swara, how could you even walk in a sexy way in front of that moron?" Sanskar accused her. Swara smirked at him.

"Why do you care? Aren't you on to hang out with that makeup witch?" Swara crossed him. Sanskar glared at her.

"See, both the act are pole apart. I was just trying to make you realize your mistake." Sanskar held her more closely and whispered.

"And now, it's the time for punishment." Sanskar sealed his lips with hers. Swara tried to resist him. But then, surrender in front of his passion. He took his tongue exploring each corner of hers. He tasted her lips like a hungry lion. After some minutes, Sanskar released his lip from her's, still holding her. Swara's face was too redden to act at that moment.

"Swara, I hope this punishment was worthy. And yeah, if you want this more, I'm ready." Sanskar shamelessly whispered against her heavy breathing.

"Sanskar..." Swara moaned as he kissed her jawline. He smirked at his effect on her. Sanskar snaked his hands on her belly giving them butterflies inside.

But unfortunately, their moment was interfered by a call. Sanskar cursed the person and answered the call, still holding Swara in his clutches.

"Hello, Mr Khurana." Sanskar greeted the person. Swara who took this an opportunity, pecked Sanskar on his lips. Sanskar glared at her for the act. Swara unbuttoned his shirt. Then, she caressed his abs making him groan.

"Are you okay, Mr Maheshwari?" Mr Khurana who heard his groan asked concerned.

"Yes...yes..." Sanskar was highly sweating at her acts. Swara came closer to him kissing his abs, then jawlines.

"Can I call you later, Mr Khurana?" Sanskar who kept on glaring at Swara, finally asked him. After getting a positive response from Mr Khurana, Sanskar disconnected the call only to see, Swara running inside the guest room and closing the door.

"I really need a cold showe,." Sanskar muttered to himself.

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

"Congratulations, bro!" Swara hugged both her brothers after the wedding ceremony. Now, all of them were taking a family picture together.

"Swara, go and stand near to Sanskar..." Sahil said while taking a selfie. Swara flushed and walked near to Sanskar. Sanskar held Swara's belly tightly making her shiver at her place.

"Sanskar, everyone is looking at us. Please, leave me naa..." Swara whispered against his ears.

"Okay, I will-, " Swara looked at him surprised as he never agrees for something like this so quickly. "-leave you only if you peck me on my lips," Sanskar muttered romantically. Swara shook her head annoyed.

"Sanskar, you won't change, right?" Sanskar winked as an answer to her question.

"Ooye, Romeos, shall we take a snap if both of your romance session is over?" Veer asked by making faces. Aryan laughed loudly earning a heated glare from Sanskar. Arpita and Vansh giggled.

"Huh! Stop it yaar...Swara, ask your husband to behave." Sahil yelled at everyone. Swara pinched Sanskar making him jump from his place. Vansh snatched the camera from Sahil and declared, "I and Sahil will take a snap without anyone."

"No, bro! Leave everyone. Let's take one." Swara pushed Sanskar and came in front.

"Areey...So my biwi will take a photo without her handsome, sweet husband. Okay, fine!" Sanskar sighed and wiped his fake tears. Aryan gave him a punch as per Swara's order.

"Now, smile..." Veer yelled and everyone took and photo.

"Sanskar, my head is aching." Swara sat on the chair and called Sanskar who was busy talking to the guests.

"What happened, Swara? Is it hurting too much?" Sanskar asked as he saw Swara sitting on the chair massaging her forehead.

"No, it's okay." Swara managed to say. "Sanskar, let her take rest. Arpita, go with her." Aryan came and said. Sanskar nodded his head asking Arpita to take Swara with her.

"Sanskar..." Swara fainted when she stood to walk. Sanskar held her before she touched the ground. And took her in a bridal style walking to the room.

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

"How's my wife, doctor?" Sanskar jumped in front of the doctor as she came out from the room after checking Swara.

"Nothing to worry, Mr Maheshwari. She is 3 weeks pregnant." The doctor said on which Sanskar nodded.

"Okay, doc-, " Sanskar smiled and begin to thank the doctor. "-what? Pregnant?!" Sanskar who came into his sense screamed making everyone close their ears with cotton.

"Yes, Mr Maheshwari! Mrs Maheshwari is 3 weeks pregnant. And for a detailed checkup, you can consult a gynaecologist." The doctor informed him. Veer took the doctor with him.

"Bro, congrats bro..." Aryan and Vansh congratulated him. Arpita who stood with Swara inside her room came and hugged Sanskar tightly. Arpita smiled after breaking the hug. Sanskar reciprocated the smile and walked inside the room to meet Swara.

His face was sweating. He could sense his hands trembling along with his heart. After all, he was going to become a father, right? Now, he was the happiest person on this Earth. He saw Swara looking outside the window.

"Swara?" Sanskar called out. Swara who heard his soft, husky voice came running to him. Sanskar gave her a bone crashing hug.

"Sanskar, we...are...are...go-going to become...parents..." Swara chocked. She had tears in her eyes. Sanskar who was equally happy nodded and broke the hug.

"Thankyou for coming into my life, Swara. Now, thankyou for giving me the symbol of our love." Sanskar kissed her forehead. Swara wiped her tears and looked at Sanskar with so much love.

"I love you, Sanskar," Swara mumbled and hugged him again.

"I love you more..." Sanskar smiled and reciprocated the hug.
