"Sara beta come, you will do pooja today. I will tell you how to arrange all things for pooja" Sujata said while moving towards house temple. Sara followed her silently without a word.

Both arranged everything for morning pooja with aarati taal till all will come and later all family members joined them and stood while folding their hands infront of God idol except Sanskar.

Riya and Ragini also joined them for morning aarati as except Ragini all left to Malhotra Mansion yesterday only along with Aashi as she wanted spend some time with her Nanu and Nani.

"Sara beta lit the diya" AP said to Sara while giving matchbox.

Sara lit the diya and stood while folding her hands infront of God idol.

"Aunty, Sara sings God bajana beautifully" Riya said by surprising everyone. Sara looked at her perplexed by her sudden demand.

"Then today Sara will sing Bajana"Sujata said making all smile as Sara gave nervous smile listening her.

"Sara beta, don't need to hesitate to sing, this is all your family so no one say anything to you however you sing" AP said with a small smile making Sara smile. Sara took short breathe and closed her eyes and started to sing God's bajana with her melodious voice.

Sanskar who was getting ready while combing his hairs stopped his hand where it was by listening beautiful voice of singing at the early morning in their mansion. He got surprised as well as got mesmerized by listening that melodious voice. He quickly combed his hairs and came out because he knew no one sings this much beautiful in his family. He came down and saw everyone standing infront of house temple. He slowly moved towards temple and got surprised seeing Sara who was singing but her back was facing him. He stood silently beside Laksha who was standing at the edge of second row. Laksha got surprised by seeing him at house temple because he was seeing him after long time as he stopped coming to pooja from long back.

Laksha smiled inwardly for seeing changes in Sanskar and felt happy for him. Sara finished bajana, AP and DP did aarati and followed by Sujata Ram, Adarsh Pari did aarati and it's turn for Sarsan.

"Sara beta, come" AP said while handling aarati plate to Sara as she didn't saw Sanskar still. Sara took it and her eyes searched for Sanskar automatically.

All felt sad because of not finding Sanskar as he stopped coming to morning aarati because he stopped in believing God after what happened to Jay.

"Bhai go, bhabhi is waiting" Laksha said in loud voice purposely to hear everyone. All turned back and got surprised as well as happy seeing him for morning aarati. Sara's heart was already beating fast by feeling his presence. She smiled inwardly seeing him as her eyes brighten up unknowingly by finding him.

Sanskar glared at him by saying loudly then he turned towards all.

"Sanskar it's good that you came. Come and do aarati, it's first time after your marriage and take blessings from God" Sujata told him. Sanskar looked at all who were looking at him already and he nodded his head and moved towards Sara.

Sara who was standing holding aarati looked towards Sanskar with brightness in her eyes. Sanskar stood beside her without saying anything as his heart was also thumping rapidly inside but he couldn't figure out why he was feeling like that so he avoided and stood silently but one thing he knew that it was because of Sara.

"Sara beta" AP called her and Sara looked at her and then at Sanskar.

She forwarded aarati plate to Sanskar with trembling hand as heart was beating fast by closeness of him who held plate with his both hands at another end. Sara looked at him with corner of her eyes then looked at God. Both did aarati together and all prayed God for their happy life and keep them together forever..

After aarati Sara gave sweet and took blessings from elders. All moved towards dining table to have morning breakfast.

"Sara, you are looking beautiful in this dress" Ragini said making her smile.

"Thank you Ragu" Sara saud with smile.

"Sara, I am going back today" Riya told Sara. Sara who turned to go towards kitchen stopped immediately.

"Today? Why ?" Sara asked with sad face.

"Yes Riya, what is so urgent that you need to go back early?" Ragini asked her while standing beside Sara.

"No, Sara and Ragini, next week there is fashion show so I have so much work, even our boss was not giving me permission to come here yesterday also but I begged her so much to get just for two day so I need to go back today by anyhow" Riya said with sad face.

Sara kept quite without saying anything.

"Don't be grumpy, I know you are angry but I can't do. You only sent me there right? I will come next month for one week" Riya tried to cheer her up. She made a sad pout whole loking at Sara's face.

Sara smiled becsuse she couldn't't keep her anger for long time and agreed to her.

"Thank you and love you so much" Riya hugged her tightly in happiness on which Sara also hugged her back with smile.

All moved towards dining table and sat on their respective chairs. Riya sat beside Ragini. Sara was going towards kitchen to bring all dish bowls but stopped by Sujata..

"Sara beta, where are you going?" Sujata asked her by seeing her going towards kitchen.

"Mom woh..going to bring dish bowl" Sara replied in low voice.

"That workers will do, now you come and sit with us" Sujata ordered her in her strict voice. For a minute Sara got
a scared by hearing her strict tone then she nodded her head and came with slow steps towards dining table and moved towards empty chair beside Riya.

"Sara, where are you going? Your chair is here" Pari said while pointing towards empty chair beside Sanskar with teasing smile on her lips. Sara got shock and her eyes become widen by listening her as mere thought of sitting beside him and even Sanskar also startled but didn't show it out and maintained his calm posture like everyday. Sara mentally scolding for herself. Riya, Ragini and Laksha were giggling and trying to control their laugh for seeing Sara's face by pressing their lips tightly not to laugh out loud infront of elders.

"Yes Sara beta, sit beside Sanskar" Ap told the same with smile.

Sara without option moved towards Sanskar, even her heart was raising erratically by his presence, she pulled chair slowly and sat beside him without looking at him while trying to calm her heart. Sanskar was just sitting with normal face.

"Laksha, what happened? Why are you laughing?" DP asked him with serious face.

Laksha kept quite immediately listening his serious voice.

"It is really amazing to see both of them" Ragini whispered to Riya while bending towards Riya.

"Yes, it's really fun to see Sara and worthless expression of her when she was sitting beside her rude and khadoos boss now her husband" Riya giggled imagining her facial expression.

"Shhh..."Ragini shushed her and all started to have breakfast silently but two souls were feeling something in their hearts it's none other than Sara and Sanskar. They were feeling unknown happiness and peace in their heart but both were unknown of that feelings.

Maid served Kheer to all.

Sanskar's eyes brighten up unknowingly by seeing his favourite kheer.

"Wow kheer, Bhai your favourite" Laksha said with beaming eyes by seeing kheer.

"It's made by Sara only as first rasoi" Ap said while surprising Sanskar but he didn't turned to look Sara but Sara was looking nervous for all reaction.

"Wow Sara, you prepared Sanskar's favourite only" Pari teased her.

Sara's cheeks become red in shy that she bent her head down not able meet anyone's eyes.

"Pari" Ap called fir teasing Sara.

"Sanskar Bhai, taste kheer and tell how is it?" Ragini said while taking spoon of kheer in her hand.
Sanskar took a spoon of kheer and put it in his mouth but he stopped.....Sara was just waiting for his reply and all tasted the kheer.

"Wow Sara beta, its taste good. I never had this tasty khee beforer" Ap said with smile after tasting the sweet.

"Wow bhabhi...ummm...it's superb" Laksha exclaimed while relishing kheer in his mouth.
All praised her for her kheer.

"Sanskar, don't you say anything to Sara?" Adarsh asked him in teasing way on which Sanskar looked at him with not now look but Adarsh ignored him.

Actually he was urge feeling to praise who made this much tasteful kheer because he never tasted this much taste kheer in his life but he stopped himself to say anything infront all.

All were looking for his reply with eager eyes and ears.

"It's good" Sanskar replied in normal plain tone. All signed seeing this but kept quite.

Sara felt Happy just by that one word compliment as she didn't expect to praise her more but one word from his mouth was enough for her. She smiled listening him and all started to have kheer as they knew about him as he hardly talks at dining table except Aashi but yesterday she went with her Nana and Nani to Malhotra Mansion. All gave her gift and money for the first rasoi ritual and blessed her with happily. Sanskar was silently observing everything with his corner of eyes but didn't say anything. Sara looked at Sanskar with her corner of eyes but felt disappointed seeing him eating calmly. She signed and moved towards kitchen but Sujata noticed her sad face and thought to talk with her later.

After finishing their breakfast all men moved towards living hall to get their office bag to leave for Maheshwari industries where as Sanskar looked at time and hurriedly went towards his room to get ready for office. He went inside the closet and took out his light blue shirt and navy blue coat with navy blue tie. He got ready in that suit and quickly tied his watch on his left wrist and sprayed his favourite perfume and moved towards his bed and kept his Mac and charger in his bag and kept his mobile in his pocket after that he came downstairs where as Ragini was waiting for Sanskar. Today she was going with Sanskar because she didn't bring her car here.

Sara was standing there bidding bye to Riya.

"Riya beta take care yourself "Ap said with smile.

"Ji aunty" Riya said and took blessings from elders. They all liked her free nature and care, love for Sara.

At the same time Sanskar was descending stairs in his office suit hurriedly. Sara turned in that direction feeling his presence and her heart stopped it's beat by seeing him in that suit. He was looking most handsome in that suit and Sara was just looking at him without blinking her eyes. Riya and Ragini looked at her and smiled.
Riya nudged her to bring back to earth. Sara felt embarassed infront of them and bent her head down in shy as her cheeks become red because she knew that tey would start teasing for surely.

"Oh our Sara is falling in love with her hubby" Riya whispered in her ear teasingly. Sara's eyes shot up immediately and glared at Riya with fake anger , till then Sanskar reached down and standing at middle of living hall. He took blessings from his mothers and already all men left to Maheswari Industries.

"Sara, won't you come to office?" Ragini asked unknowingly as even she didn't know they would allow or not but she has strong gut that they never restricted anyone in their family for doing anything what they desired for.

Sara's face fell off listening her and even Sanskar stopped in his track listening her. Ragini looked at Sara's face and then Sanskar's face but he was facing his back to them.

Ap and Sujata looked at each other and then at Sanskar.

Sara was standing quietly not knowing what to answer as she badly wanted to work and help orphanage but she thought that this family wouldn't allow her to work so she kept quite without replying.

"Sanskar" Sujata called him on which Sanskar turned towards them.

"Mom, I don't have any problem with that if she wanted to work, it's her choice to work or not" Sanskar said with blank face but Sara's face bright up listening him as well as Ragini's. He went out after glancing at them.

"Sara beta, today you take rest and go whenever you want to go" Sujata said while caressing her hairs with love.

"Yes Sara, Suju Mom is saying correct. Now bye, Bhai will go leaving me here only if I don't go quickly. bye take care" giving quick hug to Riya and Sara she ran outside with jet speed.

Riya also left after bidding bye to Sara.
Sara was standing with Ap, Sujata and Pari in hall.

"Sara beta, come with me" Sujata took Sara with her to her room by holding her hand. Ap and Pari left to their respective rooms.

Sujata brought Sara to her room and made her sit on bed. Sara looked at room while gazing everything, it was a beautiful big room with cream colour walls and navy blue colour curtains. Sujata opened her wardrobe and took out some sarees and jewellery boxes out and put it on rectangular table infront of her.

Sara was loking at all with wide and adorable eyes as all were beautifull sarees with simple work and silk sarees.

Sujata took out some silk sarees in her hands and caressed them softly with her hands.

"Sara beta, take this" she said while placing sarees in her hands which were put on her lap.

Sara looked at her surprisingly because those all sarees which she has never seen around anywhere in Kolkata and it's all old model but beautiful sarees which she liked them at first sight only.

Sara looked at Sujata whose eyes became teary seeing all those things.

"Mom" Sara called her slowly with concern and worry in her voice.

Sujata looked at her and wiped her tears which was at corner of her eyes.

"These sarees I brought 25 years back for someone but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to give these sarees but seeing you I felt like I got her back in the form of you so I am giving you. Will you accept it right?" Sujata asked with hopeful eyes.

"Of course Mom" Sara said with bright smile as she was feeling on high by seeing their love for her which she craved from childhood. Sujata smiled brightly listening her.

Sujata took all jewelry boxes and placed over sarees. Sara was looking at her shockingly a well as with wide eyes seeing beautiful neck pieces and earings as well as waist chain, gold bangles.
Sara looked at Sujata with wide eyes on which Sujata chuckled seeing her shocked face.

"These all are for you only. I brought it for Sanskar's wife so I am giving you now" Sujata said and sat infront of her.

Sara kept all things on bed carefully and turned towards Sujata who was looking at her with soft eyes and smile on her face.

Sujata held her both palms in her both plams and looked at Sara with smile.

"I know, this marriage happened hurriedly and you didn't get a time to think about your life as well as your life partner and future also but I am assuring you one thing that my son is gem he never leave your hand in middle who trust him and loves him. I know, now you must be feeling bad because of his behaviour of ignorance but he has golden heart which has full of love and care for his loved ones but that's he stopped showing it out. I don't know what happened to him three years back in London. After coming back from London he was changed completely from chirpy, talkative, who spread happiness in every corner of this house by his nature turned into this hard, angry, rude, and talk very rarely that too necessary words. He stopped sharing his problems and sorrow with anyone even got involved in his work with 24 hours. Sometimes even he didn't cared about his health and fell sick. Now days I am seeing him changing little bit and I have full trust on you that you will bring my old Sanskar who used to make everyone smile by his harmless pranks in home and irritating his siblings but don't get disappoint by his behaviour but be patient. I know he never trust anyone easily especially any girl but he married you that means he started to change little bit. I could say one thing at this time, don't get angry on us for doing this injustice to you because I know you hurt by my son's behaviour. I know somewhere I became selfish for my son" Sujata said with teary eyes as one drop escaped from her eyes.

"No Mom, don't say like that. Why should I get angry when you have given me this beautiful family, all love and care for me which I deprived from birth then what could I expect more than this? and about your son,  even I don't know the reason behind this change because I don't know about your son anything but I promise you mom, I will try to know about him and tryp to bring your old son back to you again" Sara said with assuring smile and her grip on her hands tightened.

Sujata smiled and kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Ha one more thing, you can go to office because I know you love to work, in other way, you will get to know more about your husband and also get more time to spend with him" Sujata said while caressing her cheek with smile. Sara's cheeks become tomato red listening her, she bent her head down in shy.
Sara nodded her head with little smile.

"Come, I will help you to take this to your room" Sujata said while getting up from bed and started to collect all sarees and jewellery boxes.

Both came to Sarsan room. Sujata helped her to arrange everything in closet. Sara got amazed as well as dumbfounded by seeing variety of branded things which she didn't know their names also suits, perfumes, watches, ties everything was arranged neatly.

Sujata looked at Sara's dress which have just simple selwar and simple sarees not much anything else. Sujata wondered about her as there was no more dress to arrange in closet only few dresses.

"Sara, we are going for shopping today and get ready" Sujata said turning towards her.

"Mom, shopping?" Sara asked confusingly as well as nervousness because if they ask her to buy anything then she didn't have so much money to buy anything that too their taste which all branded and classy, it's too costly to afford for her.

"Ha shopping" Sujata said in firm tone and went out to her room to get ready.

"What should I do now? I don't have so much money to buy anything, what to do?" She started to rub her forehead in tension (poor innocent Sara thinking about money but she must have forgotten that her husband is billionaire😄)

"Shall I ask Ragini?" She thought for a minute..."No, she already brought so much for me, its not good to ask" Sara started to pace in her room.

"Whatever happens, I will see that later, now I don't have any choice to deny" taking long breathe she went to get ready.

Karma Office.

Sanskar was working in his cabin. He got a call from receptionist that someone has came to meet him. Sanskar told her to send him after knowing about who has came.

After 5 minutes his cabin door was knocked and he told them to come in.

Sanskar got up from his chair by seeing the person and came out from his table.

The opposite person smiled seeing Sanskar and came towards him with bright smile on his face.

"Hello Sir" Sanskar said and going to bent but opposite person just hugged him tightly. Sanskar also reciprocated with small smile.

"How are you Sanskar" Opposite person asked him while breaking the hug.

"I am fine Sir, how is aunty?" Sanskar asked about Nandini.

"Yes, she is absolutely fine and asked me to bring you home" Arjun said while laughing little.

"Definitely sir" Sanskar said with little smile.

"Please take your seat sir" Sanskar said moving toward his chair by telling him to sit.

Both sat their respective chairs and Sanskar looked at him.

"Sir, when we are going to start the construction of hospital" Sanskar asked Arjun.

"Even I thought to start as soon as possible" Arjun told him while loking at him.

"Have you finished it's pre construction works and all?" Arjun asked him.

"Yes sir, I have finished everything, just I was about to ask you then only you came here yourself" Sanskar replied him.

"Ok how about Sunday? Today is Friday. Day after tomorrow is a good day"Arjun asked his opinion.

Sanskar thought for a moment and said ok.

"Ok sir, I will be there on time" Sanskar said with light smile.

"Ok soon we will meet there"Arjun said and got up from his chair and gave handshake and left the cabin.

Sanskar was loking at his way that he went out.
"I don't know what connection we have but whenever I saw him I felt some close attachment with him like we used to have earlier but I am seeing him now only then how is it possible? But one thing I got confirm that I can trust them" He thought in his mind and resumed his work.

Arjun came out of his cabin and moving towards elevator. Ragini was coming from opposite side of the Arjun as she was talking on call by holding in one hand and holding files in another hand.

Suddenly she dashed with Arjun and her mobile, files all fell on the floor.

"Oh sorry sir, I am very sorry" Ragini apologized and started to collect all files while sitting on her knees. Arjun also started to collect papers and after collecting all both stood up.

Arjun gave all papers to her.

"Thank you sir and sorry I didn't see you that mistake was mine as I was talking in call " Ragini said with little smile.

"It's ok beta, no problem" Arjun said with a smile and after seeing her for a second, he moved towards elevator.
Ragini turned and looked at Arjun who was going towards elevator.

"He is such a nice person" Ragini thought and moved towards Sanskar's cabin.

Shopping Mall

Sara and Sujata with Pari came to shopping mall. All trio moved towards ladies section and Sara was just following silently.

Sujata came towards saree section and asked sales boy to show designer saree.

Sales boy started to show so many variety colour and designs sarees.

"Sara beta select which you like" Sujata asked her and Sara looked at her shockingly.

"Mom..woh..."Sara tried to protest but Sujata cut off her in middle.

"I won't hear anything, now chup chap select. Pari beta help her" Sujata ordered Sara with strict tone.

"Sara, you don't get another chance to shop with Chachi. She rarely comes to shopping so don't make her get angry" Pari whispered in Sara's ear on which Sara widen her eyes in surprise as well amusingly.

Sara nodded her head in yes and selected one saree.

"Mom, this one" Sara gave one simple saree to Sujata and Sujata signed seeing her..

"This girl na, I don't know what to do with her" Sujata muttering herself and started to select sarees. She alomost selected 20 designer and causal sarees and then moved towards Selwar dress. She only selected so many variety dresses with the help of Pari and after buying other necessary things Sujata came to counter. Sara's eyes got bulge seeing so many shopping bags.

"Mom this much?" Sara was trying to say further but kept quite by seeing Sujata's glare and Pari chuckled seeing this.

After shopping trio came out from the shopping mall as it's already 5.30 pm in the evening. Trio were coming from the shopping, on the way Sara saw temple in which she met Sujata second time. Sara turned towards Sujata.

"Mom, if you don't mind, can we go to temple. Today is Friday so, I want to lit diya" Sara said in bit hesitantly as she was fear to ask her because in mall she has seen Sujata's angry glare. It's not at all angry as Sujata just asked in strict tone to make Sara agree but Sara thought that she got angry.

Sujata also looked out of window it's near temple only.

"Driver, stop the car" Sujata told driver to stop and turned towards Sara.

"Why are you getting hesitate to ask me?" Sujata asked her with a small smile while caressing her one cheek.

"Woh.. I thought you will get angry" Sara said with feeble voice.

"Why you thought like that?" Sujata asked raising her one eyebrow.

"Woh..in ...mall" Sara was not getting how to say.

Sujata smiled seeing her "I was not angry on you. I said in strict voice to make you agree as you were reluctant to buy so I faked my anger. Don't get hesitate to ask me anything, you can ask anything anyone in our family" Sujata said with smile on which Sara nodded her head while smiling happily.

"Now come" Sujata said and opened the door of her side. Guard opened the Sara's side door and Pari also got down from the car. Trio headed towards temple followed by guards. Guards stopped by door only because Sujata told them to wait there only. Trio ladies moved inside and lit the diya and stood infront of God.

"God ... I never asked you anything after he left me alone but for now I am asking you to please keep my son and daughter together and bless them for their happy life" Sujata prayed while folding her hands infront of God with closed eyes.

"Please God, keep my family always safe and happy. They are showing their love and care for this orphan making her their daughter in law. I don't have anything to ask more than this" Sara prayed silently to God.

After praying trio came out and descended the stairs.

"Mom, you wait here.. I nee to tie this thread to that tree" Sara said while pointing towards one tree.

"Ok beta, we will sit here, come soon" Sujata said and sat by near bench.

Sara moved towards Peepul tree to tie thread which she brought.

She tied thread and was coming back but suddenly someone dashed her because of opposite person saree tripped in her leg and going to fall but at the nick of time Sara held her.

"Thank God!" Opposite person took relief sign finding herself safe and sound.

"Thank y......" She was going to say further but her words stucked in her throat in shock. She stood stunning, shock would be written all over her face.

"Are you ok aunty?" Sara asked her with concern but opposite person didn't reply as she was in full of shock.

"Aunty" Sara called her again not getting any response.

Opposite person looked at her with tears in her eyes after coming into sense and nodded her head in yes. Sara smiled and moved towards Sujata and Pari.
