Radhe Krishna

Sara was stuffing her things in her bag and Sanskar came out from the closet and saw Sara.

"Sara" Sanskar called her softly on which Sara stopped her hand  and turned towards him then looked at him while adjusting her glasses..

"If you don't have any work for tomorrow. Can you come with me to SR hospital Bhoomi Pooja? Woh Arjun Uncle.. I mean Mr. Raichand asked me to bring family also. If you come, they will feel good" Sanskar said while looking at Sara with expecting eyes.

Sara's felt goosebumps by listening Arjun's name. She stood there with shocking that she forgot about Arjun.

"Sara" Sanskar called her for not getting any response.
Sara came into sense and looked at him.

"Will you come?" Sanskar asked her again.
Sara nodded her head with little fake smile as she was lost in her thoughts.

"Thank you" Sanskar said and went out of the room after taking his bag.

Sara stood there while thinking about Arjun and Nandini, where they might have been all these years? In Mumbai or somewhere else? I need to find about them or they also got killed by those monsters. No no... it couldn't be happen. Sara don't think too much, just concentrate on work now then start your mission to search about them" She thought in her mind and went downstairs.

After having breakfast all went towards their working place.

Sengupta Industries

Sahil was working in his cabin. He heard knock on his cabin door and he asked to come in. Someone came inside the cabin and stood infront of Sahil as Sahil was facing his back to him.

Sahil turned towards him to see and got surprised to the opposite person.

"Chirag" Sahil got up from his chair and hugged him tightly in happiness.

"What a surprise Mr. Chirag Gadodia, you remembered us now?" Sahil asked him while breaking the hug.

"What to do, busy in production works" Chirag said while taking his seat opposite to Sahil.

"So when you came from Mumbai?" Sahil asked him while sitting on his chair.

"Just landed here directly from airport" Chirag told him.

"Oh that's cool" Sahil said while laughing.

"Ok tell me, how is going all business here?" Chirag asked him while playing with paper weight

Sahil face colour changed by listening him.

"What happened? Any problem" Chirag asked him while raising his one eyebrow.

"Nothing much but we lost big contract this time, it's all because of him. Evertime he is coming in our way like obstacle" Sahil said with gritted teeth while gripping paper weight in his hand.

"Who?" Chirag asked him with curiously.

"Sanskar Maheswari" Sahil said angrily.

"What?" Chirag asked him with little shock.

"Yes, do you know about him?" Sahil asked him by seeing Chirag's facial expression of being shocked and little bit fear could be seen in his eyes but soon changed into smirk.

"Yes, I know him pretty well from long time" Chirag said with smirk on his face while looking at Sahil.

"Means?" Sahil asked him confusingly.

"I will tell you later, now leave his matter to me and you don't take tension about him. I know how to deal with him" Chirag said with evil smirk while planning something in his mind.

"But be careful about him. You don't know what he can do if he gets know about us" Sahil said in little bit warning tone.

"You don't worry" Chirag said while laughing.

"By the where is Kavita?" Chirag asked him.

"Might be in office" Sahil said in his casual tone.

"Ok I will call her and meet you at night" Chirag said and went out after giving quick hug to Sahil.

"Something is missing about them" Sahil thought about him while staring his retreating figure.

Karma Office

Sara came out of the elevator and went to his cabin which was in 20 th floor.

"Can't he keep his cabin in this floor that I can see him easily whenever I want but now I have to go to 20 th floor to see him" Sara was coming murmuring herself and cursing Sanskar while making cute faces.

Suddenly she dashed with Ragini.

"Ahhh!" Sara winced little and started to rub her forehead.

"Are you ok ?" Ragini asked her concernly.

Sara looked at her and smiled at her.

"Yeah I am good" Sara replied.

"Madam, can't you walk properly with attention? By the way what were you thinking deeply that you lost in your thoughts?" Ragini asked her while  raising her eyebrow in questionable eyes.

"Nothing... just.." Sara said in  stammering with tight smile as she didn't know what to tell her. 

Ragini narrowed her eyes then mischievous smile appeared on her face realising something.

"I got it, you were thinking about Sanskar Bhai right?" Ragini said in teasing tone while little bending towards her face and Sara widen her eyes listening her.

"Shhhh!" Sara looked here and there to check as someone was near or not.

"Ragini.. tum bhi na.. you start wherever" She said in low voice while glaring her.

Ragini laughed out seeing her.
Both were going towards their working place and Kavita was coming from opposite side. Both stood there by seeing her even Kavita also and Kavita smirked seeing Sara but didn't say anything because of Ragini. Ragini got angry seeing her and she was going to say something but Sara held her hand tightly and signed her to keep quite. Kavita went from there by giving last glance to both of them.

"I wanted to wipe that smirk on her face by punching on her face seriously" Ragini said in anger and left to her cabin by stamping her foot while giving fake angry glare to Sara and Sara smiled seeing her childish act.

At Night

After having dinner all retired to their respective rooms and Sanskar went to his room after visiting Jay.
In kitchen Sara and Sujata were were left in the kitchen as Sujata was instructing workers about tomorrow menu. Sara thought something and gained little courage that should she ask her or not? After leaving all workers Sujata turned towards Sara and before Sujata say something Sara opened her mouth.

"Mom" Sara called her softly.

Sujata smiled at her while coming near Sara who was standing near kitchen slab.

"Yes beta" Sujata replied.

"Can I ask you something if you don't mind?" Sara said in low tone with little bit hesitation that she knew it that it would hurt her to ask about  but she wanted to know what happened after that?

"You don't need to ask permission beta, you can ask anything" Sujata said with little smile while cleaning keeping things in refrigerator.

"Mom, you didn't tell me about your family" Sara asked while looking at her Sujata. Sujata's hand stopped in middle and her face colour changed into pale and her eyes filled with tears. Sara got concern seeing her who stood like a statue.

"Mom I am sorry, if I hurt you by my question" Sara said by feeling guilty.

Sujata wiped her tears and smiled at her faintly.."No beta, why are you asking sorry, it's just that I remembered someone that's why I got tears in my eyes" Sujata said with sad smile.

"Whom you remembered?" Sara asked her to know further or say to hear from her.

Sujata took a deep breathe and looked at her by leaving her work.

"Me and my brother, he is my world and everything. Our parents died in accident when we were small as I was just 15 and he was 12. None of our relatives came to help us, it was God grace that we have roof to stay as our parents built it on their own. We were middle class family but also our parents left some of assets to lead normal life so we don't face problem to live. We completed our study by doing part time job in some shops. I completed degree in BCA and started to do job in small company and my brother completed engineering in computer science. After that he went to Mumbai that he got offer from one of big company. First he was reluctant to go by leaving me alone but I forced him to go. It was good untill one year, he used to call me daily. One day he told me about a girl whom he fell in love with her. I was happy to listen because I want his happiness only. He told that he would bring her to Bangalore to meet me. After two months, one day I got a call that both died in car accident" Sujata finished as silent tears were flowing from her eyes. Sara got tears also by listening her.

"Did you know who was she?" Sara asked her.

"No I didn't get to see her. I asked him to show her picture but he told that he will directly bring her to me and it was surprise but I didn't know that he will give me that much big surprise" Sujata said as her voice choked with pain of loosing loved ones.

"After that what happens?" Sara asked curiously.

"After that I went to Mumbai and his friend told  me that they were in the same car and it fell from cliff and blasted so we couldn't .. get ..their body" Sujata said with heavy voice, Sara side hugged her to comfort her.

"Then I came back to Bangalore as I felt I lost everything a reason to live. Like this month passed then one day Ram ji saw me in our company where I used to work as he came go Bangalore on some business purposes. He liked me and proposed me to marry him, at first I was hesitated because they are rich but me, one simple middle class girl. His family also came to visit me and gave time to think. After a lot of thinking, I agreed because when I was thinking that I left with nothing beside me that  me but God gave me someone for whom I can live. Life was going smooth but pain of loosing him was always in my heart. Sometimes it started disturb me untill Sanskar born. My happiness has no bounds after seeing him like I felt my brother born again from my womb, that's why I kept his name only for him so that I don't feel my brother left me anywhere. Everytime I see Sanskar it reminds me of him, that same face, same character, that same naughtiness and everything is same like him. I didn't feel that I lost my brother. I was happy by seeing him infront my eyes untill he went to London for his master's degree as I was reluctant to send him but everyone forced me to agree. After lot of convince I agreed, he came after two years later but he was changed person, that his smiling face turned into serious, he forgot to smile and his prank, his naughtiness and everything disappeared from his life. This every corner of house is still waiting for that old Sanskar who would make this house alive by his voice" Sujata said and wiped her corner of eyes as one year dropped from her eyes.

"Do you know the reason for his change of behaviour?" Sara asked her with amuse by listening about Sanskar.

"I don't know exact reason but after coming to India he told that Jay died in an accident, he is his best friend and son to me like Sanskar. We thought, that was the reason he was changed" Sujata said making Sara confuse.

"But Jay" Sara was saying further but Sujata only answered.

"Yes, this Jay only. He was coma in for three years, one week before only he got concious and back to home. We were angry on Sanskar for hiding this matter, he told that he had reason, we don't know what was the reason but he started to hate girls after coming from London that he refused to marry anyone. After so much pressuring, he agreed to marry you that's why he was behaving rudely with you at beginning but now I am seeing him, he is changing little day by day all because of you" Sujata said with teary smile on her face while caressing Sara's cheek. Sara smiled little and hugged her.

"Don't worry Mom, I am giving you 100% sure that you will get your old Sanskar back, just wait for little time" Sara said while breaking the hug in assurance tone.

"I trust you beta" Sujata said and kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Ok Mom, it's getting late good night" Sara wished her and going to her room but stopped listening Sujata's voice.

"Sara beta, please can you place this in Jay's room, guest room" Sujata said forwarding water jug.

"Sure Mom" Sara said with smile. She took water jug and left towards guest room which was in first floor.

Guest Room

Sara stood infront of guest room and knocked. After getting permission, she entered inside and saw Jay who was sitting on bed while reading some novel book.

Jay smiled at her by seeing Sara. Sara also smiled back at him.

"How is your leg now, Bhai?" Sara asked him with concern while giving warm smile.

"May I call you Bhai right?" Sara asked him with little hesitant because she didn't get it what to call him as he was not familiar to her like all family members. She was meeting him first time.

"I love to hear Bhai from you as I don't have sister before but now Uttara and then you. Yeah my leg is now fine, just need little bit exercise then it will be perfectly fine" Jay said with smile.

"It will be fine soon, don't worry" She said while keeping water jug on side table.

Jay smiled hearing her.

"I am Jay, Sanskar's best friend" Jay introduced himself.

"Hmm I am ..." Sara was going to say but cut in middle by Jay.

"Sara Sanskar Maheswari, I know" Jay said while smiling brightly.

Sara smiled by listening her full name as it sounds good to hear.

"Ok Bhai, it's getting late, you sleep. Good night" Sara said and turned to go but stopped and turned back towards Jay. Ge also looked at her with confused face.

"Do you want anything?" He asked her by seeing her stopping.

"Hmm, If you don't mind can I ask you something?" Sara asked him with bit hesitation.

"It's about Sanskar right?" Jay asked with smile on which Sara nodded her head in yes.

"You can I ask anything about him, I will tell whatever I know about him" Jay said with assurance tone.

"Hmmm..Do you know the reason for Sanskar's change of behaviour as Mom told me that he was changed man after coming back from London so I asked you, you might have known about that" Sara asked him hesitantly while fidgeting her fingers in nervous.

"Even I wouldn't have idea about his change of behaviour but got to know from family members, later came to know about his changed behaviour" Jay said with sad tone and looked at Sara who was listening keenly.
Jay told her about Siya and how he held Siya responsible for his condition and felt guilty about him and last but after knowing about Sia's death. He realised, his mistake that he misunderstood the situation but he didn't tell her that someone was tried to kill them. He told that both met with an accident as he didn't want make anyone hurt or scare.

Jay completed his talk and took deep breathe to control his emotions and looked at Sara who was looking at him with shocked expression.

"I am sorry, I didn't know that by asking this question I would wake up past wound and get you pain" Sara said in apologetic voice.

"Hey it's ok, nothing is in our hand, it's over already" Jay said with faint smile.

"Do you still miss her?" Sara asked him with concern.

"Yes always" Jay said while wiping his corner of eye as one tear escaped from that.

"I know how it hurts when we lost someone infront of our eyes" Sara said while remembering past.

Jay looked at her turning towards her confusingly but Sara gave him fake smile.

"Ok bye it's too late, you take rest and good night" Sara said in return Jay also wished her back. Sara left to her room while thinking about Sujata and Jay's talk.

She entered inside and saw Sanskar who was coming inside from balcony.

"Where you went? I thought you would be here as it's late " Sanskar asked her with concern but its more than concern, he was worried not finding her in room.

"Woh I was talking with Mom and went to keep water jug in guest room for Jay Bhai as Mom asked " Sara said with low voice while bending her head little.

"Ohh ok, it's already lat, come and sleep. Tomorrow we need to leave early" Sanskar said while going towards his bed side.

Sara nodded her head in yes and went to her side of bed to sleep. Sara was lost in her thoughts and this was noticed by Sanskar but he kept quite as he didn't know how to ask her what was bothering her.

Sanskar lied on bed and Sara also lied on bed while staring ceiling only and Sanskar looked at her.

"Sara" Sanskar called her softly seeing her lost as he couldn't hold himself from asking her.
Sara looked at him while turning towards him.

"Are you ok?" He asked her with concern eyes.  

"Yes, I am fine" Sara replied and looked at him confusingly.

"Then why are you looking worried?" He asked her.

"Nothing just thinking about tomorrow" She lied to him.

"There is nothing to worry about that, I will be there with you" Sanskar said with little smile as he didn't know himself that he was caring about her so much.

Sara smiled at him lightly on which Sanskar's heart skilled seeing her that innocent smile of her which made his heart flutter.

"You told that it's SR Hospital project, you are doing with partnership. Who is that other partner?" Sara asked him with little hesitant because she thought she was asking so much to him that he wouldn't like to talk or share anything with anyone but to her surprise she answered. She asked to know about it more.

"Mr. Arjun Raichand" Sanskar said in casual tone.

"What is the full name of SR" Sara asked him again as she badly wanted to know about him since when he told about Arjun.

"Even I also don't know exactly but I think it's on the name of Swara because he once told that he had sister name Swara" Sanskar said in his deep voice and he drifted into his thoughts because of mention of Swara that same name only making him disturb everywhere.

Sara got shocked listening him as she couldn't able to believe that Arjun is alive and also in the same city.
She looked at Sanskar who was in deep thoughts.

"Do you know his wife name by chance?" Sara asked him to get confirm still not able to believe that what she heard was true.

Sanskar looked at her who was looking at him with emotional eyes and as tears were forming in her eyes.

"I think it's Nandini Raichand" Sanskar told her by remembering.

"What happened? Do you know about them?" Sanskar asked seeing her face reaction because her eyes were showing some unknown happiness and it's became teary just by listening about them.

"No.. nothing....just asked out of curiosity" Sara said while stammering little as her voice was not coming out from her mouth in happiness as well as in happiness of listening about them being alive..

Sanskar was looking at her only to find anything. Sara turned towards other side while facing her back to Sanskar.

She couldn't hold herself so she silently got up from bed and went to washroom. Sanskar was looking at her behaviour confusingly. He wanted to ask her but stayed back. Sara came inside the washroom and burst out cry, she was crying in happiness and smiling with tears.

"They are alive. I can't wait to see them tomorrow" Sara smiled through tears. After sometime, she wiped her tears and washed her face after composing herself and came out of closet then lied on her side of bed. Sanskar who was closing his eyes opened and looked at her who was sleeping with closed eyes.
He felt worried by seeing her going inside washroom all of sudden as he got that she knew about them because of her facial expression but couldn't predict what relation she had with them. He was waiting her to come out. He looked at her who was coming out from the closet with red puffy eyes and he got concern that what happened to her? And why she was crying? Before he could ask anything she lied on bed and closed her eyes.
Sanskar kept looking at her sleeping figure with an unknown feelings which was raising in his heart day by day.
