Sara got ready in heavy lehenga and Pari and Ragini made her hairstyle and light make as Sara didn't want to do heavy make up.

"Sara, is this necessary to wear this glass?" Ragini asked her while pointing towards glass which was Sara holding in her hand to wear.

"Ragu I can't see properly without this glass" Sara said making pout.

"I don't know how you manage this?" Ragini said making faces on which Sara chuckled while shaking her head.

"For that I have made some other arrangements"Ragini told and took out one small box.

"I am here only" Riya entered inside while smiling brightly. Sara got up and Riya jumped on her, both hugged each other happily.

"Why you took so much time to reach?" Sara asked in complaining tone.

"You know Kolkata traffic" Riya breathed out in sigh.

"You both get ready, I will just come" Pari said and went downstairs to check arrangements.

After getting ready trio sitting on bed.

Sara was looking nervous and little tensed. Both Riya and Ragini noticed her.

"Sara, what happened?" Riya asked her while keeping hand in shoulder.

"Don't know but feeling nervous" Sara told her while giving nervous look.

"Don't worry, it happens for every girl before marriage" Riya said while trying to make her comfort.

"Waise Sara you are looking gorgeous in this bridal dress" Ragini said making Sara smile.

"Yes Ragini, I never knew that Sara will look this much beautiful"Riya said while putting kajal behind her ear.

"Maasi" Aashi entered while banging door in happiness.

Sara and Ragini looked at her and smiled at her.

Aashi came near them.

"Maasi tell me how am I looking?Aashi asked Ragini while flounting her dress infront of them.

"You are looking like a princess" Ragini said kissing her cheeks.

"Didi, how am I looking?" She asked Sara while turning towards her.

"You are looking very beautiful" Sara said and kissed her another cheek.

"You are also looking very beautiful" Aashi said and kissed her both cheeks.

Aashi looked at Riya with questioning eyes.

"Aashi baby, she is a Riya didi, my friend" Sara said introducing her.

"Hi Aashi" Riya said while forwarding her hand with smile.

Aashi smiled and gave her hand.

"Aashi Adarsh Maheswari" Aashi said cutely while shaking her hand.

"Cute name like you" Riya said with smile while pinching her nose.

"I will go to chachu to see him" she ran to Sanskar's room.

"Wise Sara, I am getting chance to see our Jiju who has stolen thousands of girl's heart and handsome hunk and you are going to be wife whom every girl wished" Sara teased her. Sara looked down being shy.

"See Ragini, our Sara is blushing just listening about him then what will happen when she sees him directly?" Riya said while laughing at her.

"You are right Riya, Bhai is handsome who could easily fall for him but even though our Sara is not less than him who can steal everyone's heart easily by her pure heart" Ragini said sitting beside Sara.

Riya and Sara both smiled listening Ragini.

"You are right Ragini" Riya said while agreeing with Ragini.

Sanskar's room

"Chachu" Aashi entered while calling him.

Laksha and Sanskar turned towards her and she came near them.

"Chachu Didi is looking very beautiful" Aashi said while extending her hand to show him how much she was looking beautiful.

Laksha chuckled listening her and inreturn got angry glare from Sanskar so he shut his mouth by seeing angry glare.

"Chachu you are also looking beautiful" Aashi said to Sanskar with bright smile.

"Aashi princess, it's not beautiful,it's handsome" Laksha said while kneeling infront of her.

Aashi looked at him confusingly.

"Aashi princess,for girls we call beautiful and for boys we call handsome" Sanskar said making her understand.

"Ohh! then you are looking handsome" Aashi said while exclaiming in happiness.

Both smiled seeing her.

"Sanskar come, pandit ji calling you" Adarsh said while entering.

Trio went downstairs where Mantap was set.

Sanskar sat in Mandapa and started to do some rituals as per pandit ji was sayings.

After fifteen minutes.

"Call bride to Mantapa" Pandit ji told them.

"Ji Pandit ji" Radha said and went to bring Sara.

Guest room

Radha entered inside.

"Ragini beta pandit ji calling Sara" Radha said on which Ragini nodded and Radha covered her face with veil.

All moved towards downstairs.

Ragini and Riya were standing both sides of Sara and Radha was ahead of them.

Radha moved fastly and stood beside Yash.

Sara stepped at first steps while descending down.

Sanskar's heart started to beat fast with slow pace, for each second it was increase it's rate.
Even Sara also felt that her heart started to beat fast with each step while descending.

Sanskar kept his hand on his left chest to calm his fast beating heart.

"Bhai, look Bhabhi is coming" Laksha whispered in Sanskar's ear making Sanskar look at Laksha then towards stairs.

Sara clutched her lehenga in nervousness. By each step she was feeling nervous as well as her breath was getting heavy due continuous pounding of heart.

Sanskar looked above slowly by lifting his head. To his disappoint her head was covered with veil but he could feel his heart beat which was increasing by each step of her coming closure. Sara was also feeling the same. Each step towards him, she was feeling something unknown in her heart.

She was brought to Mantapa and made to sit beside each other, all the while Sara was looking down.

Sanskar was feeling the same which he was feeling from 20 days.

"Why I am feeling the same which I was feeling since 20 days, suppose because of her, was I feeling this kind of feelings? Is she the one whom I felt something connection but I never met her before" Sanskar questioned in mind and turned towards Sara but she was looking down with covered head.

"both stand for pehra" Pandit ji announced.

"Someone will tie knot of them" Pandit ji told.

All started to look at each other as who should tie knot.

"Ragini you go and tie knot" Riya said to her.

"No Riya, you should go" Ragini said while looking at Sara who was looking down, her eyes were filled with tears but she blinked her eyes several times to stop tears like every girl, she was also wishing her parents would be with her but God didn't give her that fate.

"No Ragini, you are like elder sister to her, you go" Riya said while pushing towards Mantapa.

Ragini looked at her parents who nodded their head with smile. Ragini tied knot for them.

Sara felt happy by finding Ragini. She found true elder sister in her.
Both stood for pehras.

Sanskar forwarded his right hand little finger. Sara looked his hand for a second and held his little finger. Sara felt sudden current pass through her body by his touch. She started to get some flashes of girl and boy taking rounds holding each other hands and her head started to spin. She was going to fall but Ragini held her at the nick of time.

"Sara are you ok?" Ragini asked her who was standing behind her.

Sara came into sense and composed herself and nodded her head in yes, still her forehead was sweating badly by remembering what she felt before a minute.

Sanskar looked at her confusingly like what happened to her but listening Pandit ji, he looked straight. Sara looked at him lifting her head through veil. He passed by her and stood infront of her. Sara was staring him with still eyes, some blur images were coming infront of her like one boy and one girl holding their hands and standing around the fire.

Sanskar came infront of her and started to take rounds around the sacred fire(altar) Sara was just following him while staring him with absent minded, her vision was getting clear by passing each second with him.

Sara also moved ahead of Sanskar with absent minded and started to take round.

Seventh vow

"I promise to be with you for till my last breath as true soulmate". Girl completed her promise and turned towards Sanskar with smile on her face who was smiling at her already...

Slowly slowly Sara's vision got full clear. She saw girl's face who was smiling brightly at Sanskar. It's shocked her to the core because it's her only.

Both hugged each other..

"I love you Sanskar"

"I love you Swara"

"Swara" Sara whispered but it was audible to Sanskar.

Sanskar stopped listening her and he looked at her with shockingly but couldn't able to see her face.
He turned to side listening Laksha's voice.

They completed seven vows by promising to be with each other for eternity. All were showering them with flower petals. Sara came into sense after listening Pandit ji's voice and looked at Sanskar who was looking straight.

"Both sit for further rituals" Pandit ji told them.

Both sat down for further rituals.

"Please tie this Mangslsutra to bride"Padit ji said while giving Mangslsutra to Sanskar.

Sanskar took mangalasutra in his hand, turned towards Sara and brought Mangalasutra near around her neck. Sara felt her heart was beating with race as well as some kind of agitation. Zhe clutched her dress in her hands to control her heart beat. Sanskar tied Mangalasutra around her neck. Sara looked at him with tears in her eyes as she was feeling some kind of happiness and unknown emotions were emerging inside her. She felt it's real what was she seeing sometime time before in her vision. It was like she was seeing their marriage standing little far from them. She was feeling happines as well as emotional at that moment.

"Put Sindhoor on her head" Pandit ji told him.

Sanskar took pinch of Sindhoor through gold coin which he was holding between index finger and thumb. Ragini lifted Sara veil little to put Sindhoor and while Sara was looking down with closed eyes.

Sanskar looked at her who was looking down with closed eyes and he couldn't able to see her properly. Sanskar put vermillion on her middle partition of hairs and a drop of tear fell from her right corner of eyes feeling contented and feeling of becoming his.

"Marriage sampanna hua( completed successfully), you both are husband and wife now onwards" Pandit ji announced them.

"Please, you both take blessings from elders" Pandit said to them.

Both took blessings from Pandit ji and then moved towards AP and DP, Ram and Sujata, Radha and Yash. All youngsters hugged them and wished them for their happy married life, all the while Sara was looking down. She didn't dared to look at him. She was fighting for her innerself to find out the answer what she saw before.

Still Sanskar not able to see Sara's face properly as his heart wanted to see her once because his heart never felt this feelings for anyone but for her his heart was beating continuosly without break.

Suddenly Sanskar got a call from his PA Atul. He looked at all who looked at him inreturn and he excused himself and moved aside to talk.

"Yes Atul" Sanskar said after receiving call.

Atul told him something.

"Ok I will be there in 20 minutes" Sanskar said in serious tone and cut the call.

He came near DP and RP where they were standing while talking with Yash.

"Dad, I got some urgent work so I need to go" He told them with serious face.

"Sanskar, you just got married now and what's the urgent work you got?" Sujata asked while coming from behind him.

"Mom, it's just half an hour work. If this isn't important, I wouldn't have to go but it's important. Please it's emergency" He said giving plain look but hidden pain.

"Ok Sanskar but come before it's getting dark" DP said in his authorative voice.

Sanskar nodded his head and moved towards his room hurriedly. He came down in five minutes after getting changed into casuals.

He ran out before anyone asked anything to him again. Alex followed him.

Ragini, Riya and Sara were standing at corner of hall.

"Pari beta, take Sara to Sanskar's room. She must be feeling tired. Sanskar will come in sometime"Ap told Pari.

"Ji Maa" Pari said and went towards Sara.

"Sara, come I will take you to your room" Pari said while holding her through shoulders.

"Di where Bhai went that much hurriedly?" Ragini asked while moving with her as she saw Sanskar was going out with some serious and tensed face.

"He got some urgent work so he went out, he will come in an hour" Pari told them.

Sara was just moving silently as her mind was around something else which she saw sometime before when Sanskar's hand touched her.

"What was happening to me? What I was seeing, is it true or not? What were those flashes? Is that me who was taking rounds with him? Then how it could be possible?" She was immersed in her thoughts and suddenly she tripped and going to fall but Riya held her at the nick of time who walking beside her.

"Sara, are you ok?" Pari asked with concern by seeing her.

"Ji didi" Sara gave light faint smile. She composed herself not to think about that now.

They stood infront of Sanskar's room and Ragini went downstairs because of Aashi, Riya also got a call at the same time.

"Sara you go inside, I will come in sometime after attending call" Riya said while picking up the call. Sara nodded her head silently.

Pari opened Sanskar's room door.

"Here is Sanskar's room, I mean now onwards it's going to be your room also" Pari said while entering inside.

Sara looked at big room. It's master bedroom with king size bed at middle and left side big couch and another side door to balcony as it was parted by glass wall. At front walk in closet. Sara was looking the room with awe. Pari chuckled by seeing her reaction.

"It's so beautiful didi ...hmm babhi" Sara looked at her.

"You can call me whatever you feel comfortable" Pari said while caressing her cheek lovingly.
Sara nodded her head with smile.

"Ha you must be tired so take some rest and change this dress into comfortable dress" Pari said and left the room.

Riya entered inside the room after talking in call.

"Sara is this room or some showroom? It's so beautiful" Riya said while looking around the room with wide and wondering eyes.

Sara chuckled by seeing her reaction.

"Sara, I got to know one thing about Jiju that he is neat freak" Riya said still wondering about the room.

"Sara" Ragini entered inside with Aashi.

"Sara didi" Aashi ran to her.

She climbed the bed and sat beside Sara who was sitting at the end of bed leaning her head on bed post.

"She is not your didi now, call her Chachi now onwards" Ragini said sitting infront her.

" Why?" Aashi asked innocentl not understanding.

"Because your Sara didi now got married to your Sanskar chachu so if you call Sanskar as chachu then you have to call your didi as Chachi right?" Ragini said while trying to make her understand.

"Ohh! then I will call her Chachi" Aashi said cutely making trio smile.

City Hospital Kolkata

Sanskar's car stopped at the entrance of city hospital where Atul was already waiting for him with other two guards.

Sanskar moved inside followed by Alex and Atul.

"Where?" Sanskar asked Atul in his bossy tone. 

"In room num 301 first floor ICU" Atul told him and Sanskar moved with fast pace.

Sanskar came near near ICU at first floor and stood infront of door and looked inside through glass window, his eyes filled with tears but he hided it wisely as he was doing this since two and half year. Bhe waited outside till doctor comes out.

After 5 minutes doctor came out from the ICU.

Sanskar moved towards him hurriedly.

"Doctor, how is he now?" Sanskar asked him impatiently.

"Mr. Maheswari, he came back to life by God grace. We all thought that he couldn't make it but your belief on him made him come to back to you. Now he is weak so it's take time to recover properly. You need to take care of him properly" Doctor told him about patients condition.

"Sure doctor"Sanskar said with light smile while taking relief sign.

"Doctor, can I see him now?" Sanskar asked him.

"Not now Mr. Maheswari. Now he is under sedation. When he will get conscious then you can meet him" Doctor told him.

"Thank you doctor" Sanskar said to him in gratitude tone. Doctor nodded his head with smile and excused himself.

Sanskar glanced at glass window once before going out.

"Atul inform me when he will get concious. I hava some work, I will come in sometime" Sanskar asked him on which Atul nodded his head in yes. Sanskar came out of the hospital followed by Alex and wore his glass and sat in his car.

"Driver take us to ACP office" Sanskar told driver.

Sanskar looked out of window and went into flashback.
