Radhe Krishna

Karma Office

All team members gathered at conference hall.

Sara and Ragini also joined along with Karan and waiting for Sanskar and Arjun.

Suddenly room door opened by getting all attention, Sanskar entered followed by Atul and then Arjun with Akash. Sanskar sat on head chair and Arjun settled beside him.

Sanskar stood up to explain about further procedures about Hospital constructions and suddenly Arjun's sight went towards Sara who was looking at Sanskar, actually not looking but staring him with small smile on her lips while rotating pen in her hand. No one noticed her as all were busy in listening but Sara was somewhere then she turned towards her right side and saw Arjun who was looking at her raised and teasing smile.
Sara felt embarrassed by getting caught by her Dad, she quickly turned front while bending her head. Arjun shook his head with light smile by seeing her antics.

About an hour of meeting, Sanskar finished by giving instructions and assigning work to everyone. All left to their respective work except Sanskar, Arjun, Ragini, Karan and Atul and Akash.

"Akash, you go, I will come in some minutes" Arjun said to his PA on which Akash nodded his head and left the conference hall.

After giving small smile to Karan and Ragini, Arjun went with Sanskar to Sanskar's cabin. Ragini and Karan moved towards their respective work.

Sanskar and Arjun were discussing something and sudden knock came on Sanskar's cabin. Sanskar asked to come in and Jay entered inside with holding one file.

"Sanskar I.." he was going to say further but stopped seeing Arjun.
Jay came near Sanskar.

"Jay, he Mr. Arjun Raichand, our new project owner and partner also" Sanskar said on which Jay looked at Arjun.

"Hello Sir, Jay Singhania, Singhania Fashion House MD" Jay introduced while forwarding his hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Singhania" Arjun said while shaking his hand back with professional smile.

"My pleasure sir" Jay said while giving light smile.

Jay turned towards Sanskar and Sanskar saw files in Jay's hand then  looked at him lifting his head.

"Is there anything important?" Sanskar asked on which Jay took deep sign.

"Nothing, it's just some old business contracts of before accident. They still haven't completed so got angry over them for their carelessness. How cloud they be this much irresponsible about work?" Jay said in frustrating tone by even forgetting that someone was there in room except Sanskar.

Sanskar looked Jay then Arjun who was sitting silently checking his mobile.

"Who is that?" Sanskar asked calmly after taking short breathe.

"I don't know about them completely because I was in London on that time so you know, my company legal adviser was handling my business, he only had given this contract to them. Its some Shekhar Gadodia and his son Rajat Gadodia. They did contract with our company to run fashion house but they haven't settled amount back which we have invested. I don't know what they were doing all these years" Jay said in his frustrated voice. Arjun instantly lifted his head by listening him. Even Sanskar also felt that he heard this name somewhere before..
Arjun felt numb and sweat beads started to form on his forehead in fear of remembering past. He quickly wiped his sweat before anyone could see but Jay saw him wiping his sweat. He got confused by seeing him because AC was on in room then how could someone swart in low temperature.

"Sanskar, you carry on, I have an urgent work and I have forgotten in the meeting" Arjun got up from his seat and shook hands with him with forced smile and went out hurriedly. Jay was looking at his retreating figure and Sanskar saw him looking at door only the way he went.

"Jay what happened?" Sanskar asked him with questionable eyes.
Jay turned towards him and sat on chair.

"Nothing, why he was sweating in this cold temperature? Is he afraid or fear of something?" Jay said and looked at Sanskar who was in deep thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Jay asked him by seeing him lost somewhere.

"Does he know about them?" Sanskar asked him still being in his thoughts.

"Whom?" Jay asked with raised eyebrow.

"You told before sometime about Mr. Gadodia" Sanskar said and looked at Jay with calm face.

"Might be, he was normal but when he heard their name, he was looking somewhat disturbed and fear in his eyes" Jay put his words which he observed from Arjun.

"There is something about them Jay and about my dream girl whom name was also Swara Gadodia" Sanskar said while looking at file which has their name.

"What?" Jay shouted in loud voice on which Sanskar closed his eyes in annoying.

"Jay, why are you shouting?" He said irritatedly.

"You didn't tell me about your dream girl name is Swara Gadodia?" Jay asked him with bit accused tone.

"Sorry, you were not well so I didn't want to bother you that's why I didn't tell you anything" Sanskar said apologetic tone.

"Now, care to explain" Jay asked him and folded his hands over his chest all set to listen him...

Sanskar told him about what he remembered from his dream.

Jay was listening him with wide eyes and open mouth in amusement like he was seeing some love story with interesting scenes.

Sanskar looked at him with narrowed eyes after finishing his words.

"Jay" he called him but Jay didn't respond to him.

"Jay" this time he called out with little bit loud on which Jay came into sense..

"Where you lost? I was calling you from long time" Sanskar said with bit annoying tone.

"Nowhere, just in your love story which you were telling to me" Jay said with sheepish smile.

Sanskar glared at him "I was not telling you love story for your enjoyment. I was telling about Gadodia family idiot" Sanskar said in irritated tone.

"Ok ok cool down bro, why are you getting hyper" Jay said while trying to make him calm who was glaring at him.

Sanskar avoided him and started to read Gadodia file.

"Jay, ask your PA to collect all information about them" Sanskar said and looked at Jay who was sitting while keeping his chin on hand which was put on table and looking at Sanskar keenly.

Sanskar looked at him like 'what the hell' look.

Jay say straight by seeing his angry glare..

"Don't look at me like that I am not going to be afraid of your angry glare like all whom gets fears just by your one look" Jay said giving his most innocent look on which Sanskar looked at him with narrow eyes.

"Leave all that, I will see you later and first do that or I will tell my men to search" Sanskar said in ordering tone.

"No bro, I will do that" Jay said while giving him tight smile and got up from the chair.

"Yeah, what about this file. Shall I send them notice?" Jay asked him.

"Wait for two more days then I will tell you, is it ok for you?" Sanskar asked him.

"Till now you have looked after my every business and all in my absence and maintaining its position in business world which might not be possible for me to do it if I was fine and now you are asking for my permission?" Jay said with sad smile.

Sanskar saw his face which had pain.

"It's nothing like Jay, I was just...." Sanskar was cut off by Jay.

"It's ok, I am leaving this project matter on you" Jay said with smile and left the cabin.

Sanskar looked at his retreating figure and closed his eyes to relax himself while leaning back on chair.

"Why haven't I come to know about this project? Did I shown irresponsibility in this work? How could I miss about this contract?" Sanskar thought in his mind.

Here after coming out from the Sanskar's cabin, Arjun came 18 th floor as he wanted to meet Sara.

"Excuse me" He called Receptionist.

"Yes sir, how can I help you?" Receptionist said with polite smile.

"Can I meet Sara? Arjun asked her.

"And you?" Receptionist asked him.

"Arjun Raichand" Arjun said.

"Wait a meet sir, I will call her" Receptionist said and took intercom to call.

"Sir, you can wait in waiting room and she is coming " Receptionist said.

"Thank you" Arjun said and left to waiting room.

Sara came towards waiting room with bright smile on her.

She entered inside with bright smile and Arjun turned towards her while listening door opening sound.

Sara ran into his arms, Arjun hugged her back while smiling.

"How are you beta?" Arjun asked while caressing her one cheek.

"You only see" Sara said while spreading her arms while smiling brightly.

Arjun got emotional seeing her as it reminds him of Swara. He blinked his eyes to control his tears.

I am going home so thought to meet you once so came here" Arjun said with smile.

"Even I wanted to talk with you and ask you so much but I don't have your number and I can't ask Sanskar or Ragini" Sara said with pout.

"Ok take this" Arjun said while forwarding his visiting card.

Sara took with smile.

"Ok call me anytime, it's not safe to talk longer time here, bye take care yourself and Sanskar also" Arjun said and gave side quick hug to her and went out.

Sara came out with Arjun and after giving smile to Sara, he went towards elevator. Sara was looking at his retreating figure with smile and looked at her hand which has his visiting card. She took deep breathe and turned to go to working place but stopped in her place being shocked to see opposite person.

"Bhai" Sara whispered his name being in shock.

Jay was standing opposite to her while folding his hands over his chest with questioning eye.

"Bha..i ...you.. he..re?" Sara said in low tone while stammering.

"Come with me" Jay didn't say anything just asked her to follow him. He went to his cabin and asked his PA not to allow anyone untill he will say.
Sara entered following Jay.

He stood near glass window of his cabin and turned toward her.

Sara who was fidgeting her fingers in nervousness looked at him by feeling his gaze.

"Bhai...wohh" She wasn't getting how to srart and explain about her relationship with Arjun.

"Sara, I considered you as my little sister and just need answer. Do you know Mr. Raichand? I am not doubting on you or Mr. Raichand but some unanswered questions are entangled with each other so if I want to get clear answer then I need to know everything" Jay said with calm tone.

Sara took deep breathe as she also knew that by hiding things, it woulf become more complicated so she decided to answer his all questions above that she has trust on him.

"Ask me what you wanted. I will answer Bhai" Sara said with light smile.

Jay got amused listening her as well as seeing her smiling face, he thought for a second, did he make anything wrong by asking her?.

"Do you know Mr. Raichand from before this SR project?" Jay asked her.

"No" Sara said with smile and Jay was going to ask further but stopped as Sara continued.

"After meeting him I came to know that he is my father" Sara said with heavy voice as one tear escaped from her corner of eyes.

"What?" Jay said with astonishment by listening her.

"Yes, we met an accident 25 years back and in that accident we all lost each other. My sister and me separated from our parents. I was lying on river shore so orphanage warden with children who came to picnic, saw me and admitted hospital and gave complaint to police but no one came for asking me so they took me to their orphanage as I was one year old on that time. I hadn't remember anything so grew up as orphan but two days back only I got to know when we went to their home by this" She said while showing pendent which was in her neck.

"From this only I got to know that they are my parents. Me and my sister had same pendent on each others neck. I don't know where is she and how does she doing?" Sara said choked voice as her throat got dry to say further.

Jay couldn't see her crying as he felt bad listening her story so came near to console but hesitate to touch her. By gaining little courage, he kept handand on her shoulder who was crying silently while pressing her lips.

"Sara" Jay called her softly on which
Sara got alert listening her name. She quickly wiped her tears and turned towards Jay.

"Sanskar knows about this?" Jay asked her.

"No Bhai, no one knows except Papa, Maa, and now you" Sara said.

"Bhai, I have request, please don't tell Sanskar anything now" Sara asked him with requesting tone.

Jay looked at her with questionable yet confused face.

"I know, he has full right to know about me but I have reason not to disclose about our relation to the world. Please do one a favour and don't tell anyone about this" Sara requested while folding her hands Infront of Jay.

Jay quickly held her hands and nodded no.

"Ok, I won't tell but it's better when yourself tell him before knowing from anyone else" Jay said while taking sign.

"Ok Bhai, you don't worry, I will tell him myself" Sara said while giving assurance.

"Ok, take care and don't worry, you will get your sister also soon" Jay said with smile on which Swar gave small smile.

"Ok Bhai, I will take a leave" Sara said and left the cabin.

"I know Sara, you are hiding so many things inside you and struggling alone but it will become easy for you when you get support from Sanskar also by sharing your problem" Jay said in mind by remembering when she fainted in stress.

Sara came to her work place, sat down on her chair and took water bottle, drank water to calm her mind and then she leaned back on her chair with closed eyes.

After few minutes she opened her eyes with jerk.

"No this can't be true" She quickly got up from her chair and ran towards Ragini's cabin.

Sara entered inside after knocking door.

Ragini saw Sara with some worried and tension on her face.
She got up from her seat and came towards Sara who was panting little because of running.

"Sara, what happened? why you were running?" Ragini asked her and made her sit on couch.

Sara calmed herself and looked at Ragini who was looking at Sara with worried lines on her forehead.

"Nothing Ragini, just wanted to see you so came by running" Sara said with tight smile.

Ragini looked at her with narrowed eyes while getting suspicious about her behaviour.

"Tell the truth, why you came here by running. Just before an hour only you left my cabin" Ragini asked her with narrowed eyes.

Sara felt flabbergast by her as she didn't know what to say but she composed herself and gaining little bit courage, she ooked at her.

"Woh, I saw one gold chain in online and wanted to buy but I remembered your chair which is very beautiful so thought to order same like yours so came here to take that picture" Sara said in her one breath and let out relief breath after finishing her talk.

"For this you came here by running? You are unbelievable Sara" Ragini said while giving glare to her on which Sara smiled sheepishly.

Ragini took out her chain from her neck.

"Take this" Ragini said giving her chain in Sara's hand.

Sara looked at chain and turned the pendent to see 'SR' letters which have graved beautifully in middle of pendent. Sara got shocked but she didn't show it out and she looked at her.

"What is this SR?" Sara asked Ragini to confirm her doubt.

"I don't know but it was in my neck from when I was small. It was  brought by my grandparents for me as this was told by Mom when I asked her and I even asked about this letter but they also didn't know much so I didn't ask them again but I liked this chain as I felt connected so kept it with me only" Ragini said with smile.

Sara was sitting lost in her thoughts. Ragini saw her and shook her little to bring her from her thoughts.

"Where you lost?" Ragini asked her on which Sara nodded her head in no with fake smile.

She pretended to take picture of chain then return back to Ragini.

Sara hugged Ragini tightly. Ragini startled by sudden hug but hugged her back.

"Ok, you carry on, I will see you later" Sara said and got up from couch and went out hurriedly towards washroom.

She came inside washroom as no one was there so she locked door and stood infront mirror..

"Ragini is... my.. sist..er" words were not coming from her mouth in happiness. Happy tears started to flow from her eyes continuously.

"My sister is infront of me but I couldn't recognize her. I always felt some pull towards her because she is my sister, that's why she became so much close to my heart" She was crying in happiness.

"I have to inform Papa and Mama, they will be very happy by knowing this" She took out her mobile but stopped.

"No no not now, I will call him at night" She washed her face and after making herself presentable, she went out.

Maheswari Mansion
At night

Sara was standing at balcony while looking at full moon in dark sky. Sanskar was in study as she knew that he wouldn't come to room till 10.30 pm.
She looked at mobile screen which was showing 9.45 pm.

She pressed green button which was on saved number showing Papa.

After second ring Arjun received call.

"Hello Papa" Sara said in her chirpy yet in low tone as someone might heard her then it would be big problem for her.

"Hello Sara beta" Arjun replied from other side.

"Had your dinner?" Sara asked him.

"Yes just had with your Maa" Arjun said with smile.

"Where is Maa?" Swara asked about her mother.

"She is here only, talk with her as she is very eager to talk with you" Arjun said and handed over mobile to Nandini who was sitting beside him.

"Hello Sara, how are you?" Nandini asked her.

"Maa, I am fine and how are you ?" Sara asked her back.

"I am super happy after getting my daughters back" Nandini said while smiling brightly as happiness could be feel in her voice.

"Maa, put call on speaker" Sara said with little bit serious in her voice and Nandi did what Sara told.

"Papa Did you know that Ragini is my sister?" Sara asked with calm tone.

"Yes beta, the day before you came to our house, we got to know that Ragini is our lost daughter and about you, Nandini saw you in temple but you went out of our sight then we saw your photo in Malhotra's mansion so we came to know that you are Sanskar's wife" Arjun told her how they came to know about them.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Sara asked them with fake angry pout.

"We didn't get a time to tell you so  thought to tell you when you call me today" Arjun said apologetically.

"Does Ragini know about both of you being her parents? and Malhotra Uncle and Aunty?" Sara asked them.

"No beta, we didn't tell her but Yash and Radha know about this except them nobody know" Nandini said with sad tone.

"Why?" Sara asked them while getting confuse.

"We are afraid beta, I don't know how she will react after knowing this and I have another reason" Arjun said while taking deep suffering breathe.

"Don't worry Papa, she will be very happy I am sure and may I know the reason if you agree?" Sara asked him with bit hesitation.

"I will tell you some other day clearly not now in call. You don't take  tension about anything now and your Papa is here so he will make all things right. You enjoy your life with Sanskar which you couldn't able to do it before" Arjun said with deep hidden meaning but Sara understood his words meaning.

"Ok Papa, I will meet you both soon...good night...love you both" Sara said in her chirpy voice.

"Good night, love you too beta" Arjun and Nandini both said in unison.

They hung the call.

Sara looked at mobile screen which was having their marriage pic as wallpaper, she kisses it lovingly.

"You know how much happy I am now. I wanted to share with you but I can't" she made a cute pout and came near swing and sat there then looked at sky for moon but he was hidden behind dark clouds.

"I am very happy now Sanskar after getting all which I lost in my last birth but somewhere still I have fear of loosing you all again which I couldn't prefer at anytime. I will not allow anyone to harm my loved ones. I know Papa is hiding something from which I don't know but I can't force him to tell otherwise he will get to know that I got remember about my past in which I was his sister. Isn't it funny to call him Dad when he was my brother in my past but no but I am very happy to call him Papa than brother. That was past but now I am in present and I am very lucky to born again as his daughter only and call him Dad and feel their love and care. We lost 25 years but it's not too late now. In past life we didn't get time to spend our time together due to circumstances but in this birth I got lot of time to spend with him and Maa. In past I got to see her only but this time I got a time feel mother embrace which was lacked in past. I badly wanted you to remember our past Sanskar that our love also, you will remember. I wanted punish them whom we lost our lives and everything. I can leave this revenge if they did wrong with me but they harmed you also that I couldn't able to forget and forgive them. I will search about them and punish them, not alone but want you beside with me as a supporter" She said while caressing his face in photo.

She got up from the swing and looked at moon who was smiling at her brightly. Sara also smiled by seeing it.

"You know how much I love you!! I got to know that why I felt so happy whenever I see you and it makes me happy because......

Feb 25 1993
Mumbai

Sanskar was sleeping as it was half day so he came early from work and sleeping. Suddenly his phone started to ring, he avoided it but again it started to ring making loud sound.

He took mobile and after pressing green button he kept it on his ear while sleeping only.

"Hello, who is this?" He said in his sleepy tone with still closed eyes without seeing caller ID.

"Sanskar" Swara said from another side.

Sanskar sat on bed with jerk by listening her voice as his sleep flew away just by hearing her voice.
He looked at caller ID as it was showing Swara, he hit his forehead.

"Hello Swara" He replied after composing himself.

"Are you sleeping?" She asked him.

"No just doing something so didn't see caller ID" he lied to her because he caught by her but ready to accept and moreover if he said that he was sleeping then surely she would say bye to him. These things he got to know from her in these days that she doesn't like to disturb in their work.

"If you don't have any work, can you come with me outside and I wanted you to take somewhere" Swara said with requesting tone.

Sanskar looked at watch which was showing 10 pm at night.

"Are you sure, you want to go out at this time?" He asked confusingly.

"Yes" Swara said with chirpy voice.

"Ok tell me where should I come?" Sanskar asked her while getting down from the bed.

"Near your apartment gate" Swara said.

"What? you already here?" Sanskar asked her unbelievably.

"Yes, I called you from here. I know you will agree to come" Swara said with bright smile.

"Ok wait for two minutes, I will be there" Sanskar said with smile by hearing her and cut the call.
