"Swara, aren't you ready yet? Come fast, beta." Swara heard Ranjini Singhania's voice outside her room. It was Aryan's and Arpita's wedding today.

"I'm coming, aunty," Swara shouted.

"Beta, we are moving to the auditorium. Make yourself comfortable and come fast." Ranjini Singhania said and walked away.

Swara looked at her reflection in the mirror. There were black circles around her eyes as she didn't slept last night. Her face was pale and weak. She was tired. Why not... she received one of the biggest shock and surprise of her life. Her love, her husband, her Sanskar...confessed his feelings towards her. And she believed him for the very first time.

Swara had always dreamt of a happy married life. But her dreams were so short-lived when she came to know, Sanskar was playing with her life. But even before she could start hating him, she realised that she had fallen in love with him deeply. Now, she wasn't able to hate or loath him. When Sanskar confessed his feelings, for a moment Swara felt happy. But at the very next moment, reality hit her.

Bitch...bitch...His voice echoed her ears. She felt vulnerable. One side, her love reciprocated her feelings. But on the other side, it costed her self respect. She was in a dilemma. Her heart and mind were making her weak and shaky.

She can never forgive him. She could never accept him even though she loves him more than anyone else in this world. For her, self-respect and self-esteem matter a lot. She wasn't a feminist, but a humanist. She was ready to give up everything, not self respect.

Swara kept on looking at the mirror until she heard a knock on the door. She stood and walked towards the door opening it. She saw Aryan's maternal cousin, Vansh Kapoor.

Vansh was a handsome munda. His parents were settled in Banglore. He was Ranjini Singhania's brother, Rakesh Kapoor's son. Vansh was a very lovable boy. He was loved by all. When he came to attend the wedding, he got a sister in the form of Swara. Swara and Vansh became good friends. He was a designer.

"Swara, come..." Vansh yelled. Swara faked and smile saying, "Yes, bro...I'm coming."

"Swara, are you alright? You are looking so tired." He looked really worried about her. 

"Bro, you know naa...its my brother's marriage, so of course I will be tired, right?" Swara chirped fakely. Vansh sighed and shook his head.

"Where is Sanskar?" Vansh asked and every colour of Swara's face dried. Last night's incidents flashed through her mind.

"I'm here..." They turned at a rigid and husky voice. Sanskar stood there like a Greek God in disguise. His eyes were fixed only on his wife. Swara's voice got glued by seeing him.

"It's good that you came, Sanskar. I'm going to the auditorium. You can come along with Swara in the car." Vansh announced and walked away. Now, Swara and Sanskar stood there alone.

"Swa-" Sanskar uttered her name. "Not here, Mr Maheshwari." She harshly replied and moved away leaving a guilty Sanskar behind.

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

"Swara, please listen to me once..." Swara was dragged by Sanskar when she was walking to the mandap's direction. Swara jerked his hand away from her arm.

"I don't have anything to listen to! Last night, you showed your true colours by kissing me without my consent!" Swara yelled.

"Swara, it was a mistake. I was drunk..." Sanskar tried to explain his situation. Swara's heart pained when he called their first kiss as a mistake.

"Swara, please...listen to me once...only once..." Sanskar broke down and stood on his knees. Swara got shocked by his gesture and said, "Don't create a scene here...Okay, fine...I will give you 15 minutes. Say whatever you want!" Swara declared and stood there without showing any emotions on her face. But her heart was yearning for hearing his confession once more.

"Swara, I'm sorry...I know a sorry won't change anything. I really regret everything I said and did the other day. You were right; I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please give me another chance. Everyone deserves a chance at redemption. I am sorry, sorry, sorry. I know I married you for my own selfishness. I'm the world’s worst partner. I’m sorry for lashing out and hurting you. I’m sorry for being a jerk." Sanskar apologised sincerely. Swara looked everywhere, but not him.

"The only thing I can think right now is how stupid I've been. I managed to hurt the feelings of the only person that I love more than everything else in this world. I am terribly sorry, and I wish that one day you can forgive me. Please, Swara...I'm ready for any punishments. All I need is a chance." He gathered courage and continued.  

"Swara, do you really think, I could really marry any random girl for my vengeance? No...never! It was always you for me. I don't know whether you will believe me, but I can't stop myself from confessing my feelings to you. From the college itself, that introvert Sanskar was highly attracted to the Swara Gadodia. I was never into Nita. You are my first love and will be forever. It's just that I took more time to realise my feelings." Sanskar looked at her eyes and said.

"The wind has blown and has tried all it could to keep us apart. But the more it blew its fury, the more close we draw towards each other. I love you, and nothing can be far from this most assured truth." Sanskar confessed his feelings. Swara stood there stunned. Of course, she was shocked and perplexed.

"Really? And you want me to believe your lies again?" Swara faked a sarcastic smile and asked. She knew everything he said was from the bottom of his heart. But still, she can't accept him.

"Swara...please, don't mock my feelings. You can say anything and everything, but don't insult my love towards you." Sanskar whispered coherently.

"Then prove it, Mr Maheshwari!" Swara uttered. Sanskar looked at her confused. By seeing his confused face Swara said, "Prove your love towards me! And yeah, about your punishment...if you truly loves me, then your biggest punishment will be staying away from me, right? So stay away from me. We will be together by the physique, but not by heart!" Swara harshly said and moved away from Sanskar.

Sanskar stood there and smiled. Yes, he was all ready to woo his ladylove, without knowing that she was already his.

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

Aryan and Arpita were taking seven promises in the mandap. Sanskar looked at Swara intensely while all the time. He was looking at her like he himself was promising her all, again.

"Arpita, now you are married to Aryan. No more hurdles in your life. So try to celebrate each and every littlemoments together. Be his knight in shining armour." Swaraadvisedd an Arpita who was going towards Aryan's room.

"I know, Swara. You don't have to worry about our married life. But, you should look at Sanskar. I know, both of you aren't in good terms..." Arpita said knowing the conflict between them.

The marriage was over. Swara and Sanskar thought to stay in the Singhania mansion itself. Swara slept in her room. Sanskar wasn't with her.

It was midnight and everyone was sleeping in their room. Suddenly Swara heard a knock at her doors. She woke up and went to open the door.

"Vansh? You here?" It was Vansh.

"Sorry for disturbing you, Swara. But I really need to say you something. I will be going back to Banglore tomorrow morning. So, I can't talk about this to you tomorrow." Vansh explained and got inside her room.

"Okay, chill bro..." Swara shook her head and said.

"I love someone, Swara!" Vansh confessed suddenly making Swara jump from her place. Till now they have shared everything, but not about relationships. 

"Who's that lucky girl?" Swara teased him.

"That's not girl, but boy," Vansh whispered and Swara became still. She wasn't expecting this from him.

"Please, don't judge me..." Vansh pleaded. Swara came and hugged him. She knew his pain. She has seen her brother, Sahil like this. 

"Do you know, Sahil Sengupta...the raising businessman?" Vansh asked. Swara pushed him with a jerk and stood numb. Tears came from her eyes. Her mind went blank.

"You love, Sa- Sahil?" Swara asked being shocked. Vansh nodded his head. Swara jumped and hugged him more tightly when she saw his response. Swara was really looking for someone who could cure Sahil. And now, Vansh himself was saying this to her.

"Thank you, thank you so much...Vansh..." Swara was so happy for them. She knew Vansh was a good boy. So she didn't have any problem with them getting together. 

"Swara, why are you so happy? Do you know him? Also...you know I'm a gay. I don't know whether-" Vansh hesitated and said. "He is my bro. I will talk with him. Don't worry. Also, he won't judge you." Swara happily said. Vansh sighed and looked at her heartily. Swara was really delighted today.

"I'm so happy to get you as a sister, Swara." Vansh truthfully said. Swara hugged him again. At last, her Sahil got someone. Swara was all ready to knit a plan for uniting them.

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

After bidding bye to everyone Swara and Sanskar drove back to the Maheshwari mansion. It was afternoon.

Sanskar lowered the volume of the FM radio and said, " You are looking hot, wifey."

Swara looked at him while rising an eyebrow and said, "Stop flirting with me, Mr Maheshwari!"

"What can I do? My wifey is so beautiful and sexy... I can't help it!" Sanskar replied while winking his eyes. Swara fumed in anger and increased the volume of FM radio.

"Look, you are fuming in anger. And that's why I called you as hot. And yes, I'm not an asanskari type." Sanskar acted innocence. Swara hide her smile at his antics. 

Soon they reached the mansion. Sujata came with an arthi plate. Sanskar sighed at his mother's antics.

"Mom! What was the need for all this? You have seen us yesterday..." Swara said while seeing all the arrangements of welcoming them.

"Yes, we have seen you at the wedding. But still, you weren't in the house for almost a week. So, it's necessary. Every evil eye should get away." Sujata replied like a typical Indian mother. Swara rolled her eyes.

"Yes, mom...Every evil eye should run away from my wifey." Sanskar took Sujata's side.

"Aww...how romantic..." Durga Prasad commented. Annapurna murmured something looking at Durga Prasad. Everyone laughed at them.

"Now, come inside..." Sujata ordered after finishing the rituals.

"Papa, I have heard that those Khanna's are behind us," Sanskar said after entering the mansion. Ram was seated on the sofa, relaxing.

"Sanskar, you have just come here. Go and take rest." Sujata warned him.

"No, Mom...the matter is something serious. Those Khanna's are planning something for us. You know naa...Papa and badipapa had gone to Mumbai for cracking a deal. Actually,  that deal was finalised for Khanna's. But by seeing our presentation, we got it.  So, Khanna's are at huge lose." Sanskar explained the situation to Sujata. Swara heard everything carefully.

"Sanskar is right, Sujata. Khanna's won't leave us. I have asked Vishal to tighten the family security." Durga Prasad alarmed.

"Swara beta, if you want you can go and stay at your maikha," Annapurna said after thinking for a while.

"No..." It was Sanskar who shouted. Uttara giggled at him. Sanskar only had a very little time to woo his love. How could he even allow Swara to go and stay at Gadodia mansion?

"No, badimaa...i cant leave you at this situation. Let's face it together." Swara assured everyone. They smiled at her.
