Kolkata

It's been nearly 15 days Sanskar got discharged from the hospital and taking rest in home. He was recovered but doctor told him not to do any hard work which make him stress and he could walk freely as his hand cast was removed. All family members were happy by seeing his fast recovery. Sara took great care of him in all these days making everyone feel proud of her and overwhelm.

Sanskar was getting ready in his casuals and Sara came there with Aarati plate.

"Sanskar" Sara called him while coming inside. Sanskar came out from the closet with full ready in casuals.
Sara came near him and put tika on his forehead and fed him sweet then only she noticed him with ready to go out.

"Are you going somewhere?" Sara asked him.

"Yes, I have some work so I need to go" Sanskar said while taking his mobile and wallet from drawer.

"Sanskar, I told you no work for another two days still you are going..." Sara said with disbelief by seeing her stubborn workaholic husband. In these days she allowed him to do office work on the condition that he should do only one hour daily.

Sanskar turned towards her after stuffing his mobile and wallet in his pocket and then held her through both shoulder on which Sara looked at him with cute angry face and again looked down while making puffed cheek. Sanskar smiled seeing her cute angry face and lifted her chin by his index finger.

"I am not going to do any work. I am going to meet Arjun Papa as I have some work with him" Sanskar said softly.

"Papa" Sara said as her twinkled eyes and face brighten up listening Arjun's name.

"Yes" Sanskar said with smile.

"Then I want to see both of them, take me with you" Sara said with excitement.

"No, I am not going to home. I am going to SR office. I will bring Maa, Papa both home if they are free or I will take you there only but not now" Sanskar said with soft tone to make her understand. Sara looked at him with sad face.

"Don't make such faces, you know I can't able to go by seeing your face like this. I want you to send me with smile" Sanskar said.

"Will you take me tomorrow promise?" Sara asked him.

"Promise"Sanskar said with smile.
Sara smiled brightly listening him even Sanskar also smiled and he kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Bye tc, I will be back soon" Sanskar said and went out of the room.

Sara also went downstairs to keep Aarati plate in house temple.

SR office

Arjun was working in his cabin and he heard knock on his door.

"Come in" Arjun said.

Sanskar entered after getting permission and Arjun looked at him.

"Sanskar you?" Arjun said surprisingly and got up from his seat.

Sanskar came near him and took his blessings.

"How are you my boy now?" Arjun asked him while hugging him.

"I am all perfect when I am having home doctor with me by 24 hours" Sanskar said while breaking the hug while chuckling.

"That's true. I think now also she restricted you to come out right? Arjun said while laughing.

"Yes, I convinced her that I am going to Papa's office then only she allowed me" Sanskar said while laughing with him.

"That's cool...come" Arjun said while moving towards coach.

Both sat on couch comfortably.

Arjun took intercom "Bring two black coffee" He looked at Sanskar who was looking nervous like how to ask him..

"I would have come there if you want to meet me. Why you came here this far?" Arjun asked him.

"No Papa, actually I want to talk with you personally so I came alone" Sanskar said.

"Ok tell me, is everything ok?" Arjun asked him with concern.

"Yes Papa, everything is fine but?" Sanskar was saying but stopped.

"But what Sanskar?" Arjun asked with bit concern.

"I want to ask you so many questions but don't know where to ask?" Sanskar said hesitantly.

"Don't need to feel hesitation, you can ask me anything freely like best friend" Arjun said with smile and Sanskar felt relief by listening him.

Sanskar took deep breath and looked at Arjun.

"Papa, I want to know what happened after Swara death? I mean your sister" Sanskar asked him directly making Arjun shocked. Arjun looked at him with shock on his face as well as past incident started to come infront of his eyes. His forehead started to sweat just by the remembering the past. Sanskar got worried by seeing him sweating profusely..

"Papa" Sanskar sat beside him and held his shoulder. He quickly poured water in glass and gave him. Arjun drank full glass in one ago and he felt some relief.

"Papa, are you ok?" Sanskar asked him with concern.

Arjun nodded his head in yes.

"Papa, I am sorry. I didn't know it will bring your past wound again" Sanskar said apologetically.

"No Sanskar, it becomes past when we forget that but we didn't forget anything. It never became easy for us to forget what happened then " Arjun said and got up from coach. Then suddenly he realised something and looked at Sanskar with doubtfully.

"How did you know about this? Did Sara said about this?" Arjun asked him doubtfully.

"I remembered everything Papa" Sanskar said with sad smile.

Arjun got tears by listening him and hugged him tightly.

"I am sorry, I couldn't able to protect you both then. I wouldn't have left you both there. If I wouldn't have left to New York then I wouldn't have lost you both" Arjun said while breaking the hug as his eyes welled up by remembering them.

"Papa, please no tears. I can't see you like this, if your daughter came to know that I made you cry then she will eat me alive" Sanskar said while laughing and Arjun smiled by listening him.

"Yes true, she is the same Swara now also" Arjun said by remembering Sara.

"Did Sara know about that you remembered past?" Arjun asked him..

"No Papa, I didn't. I don't know if she could believe it or not? So I am just waiting for her to remember" Sanskar said on which Arjun looked at him with disbelief.

"She remembered everything Sanskar" Arjun said making Sanskar shock as well as happy. Sanskar's eyes welled up by listening him.

"When?" Sanskar asked him with heavy voice as huge lump formed in his throat.

"Week after your marriage" Arjun said.

"Then why didn't she tell me anything? I was waiting for this moment only for long time" Sanskar said after composing himself.

"She wanted you to remember but she didn't know that you also remembered past and I think you both didn't talk about this matter right?" Arjun asked him doubtfully.

"Yes Papa, we didn't talk with each other about that matter. Once I asked Sara about your changed address but she told me to tell at right time. That's it I didn't ask further" Sanskar said remembering office conversation between Sara and him.

"Papa, what happened after that?" Sanskar asked him again as he couldn't able hold himself asking.

Arjun closed his eyes in pain and took deep breath then opened his eyes.
Arjun told him everything what happened after that.
Arjun finished and looked at Sanskar who has tears in his eyes by listening him.

"I didn't know that you both gone through so much pain" Sanskar said with sad tone. Arjun just smiled sadly.

"Does Sara know about this?" Sanskar asked him.

"No she doesn't know about this. I don't want anyone know about this matter especially both Ragini and Sara. They ruined happy family just for their greed, if they would have asked then I would have given them all my property happily but instead of that they chose to ruin my happy family" Arjun said painfully.

Sanskar kept his hand on his shoulder to console him.

"I am ok Sanskar. Now I have everything most importantly, you both came back to us again. I don't want anything than this happy family" Arjun said with smile while caressing his head.

"No Papa, I won't leave them live peacefully who ruined us, who separated children from their parents and made them suffer, who made Sara to suffer alone in orphanage all these years. I will show them real hell how it feels" Sanskar said angrily while gritting his teeth.

"No Sanskar, if they come to know about us then I don't know what they will do again. I don't want to loose you all again, after so many years I got you all back....please" Arjun said in pleading tone.

"Papa, don't you want them to suffer who ruined your happy family? Who killed innocent people just for their greed. Now also their greed haven't reduced a bit. They are doing wrong things one by one and also teaching their children to do wrong things" Sanskar said remembering something.

"Means...what they have done now?" Arjun asked confusingly.

"They tried to kill Jay Singhania to get contract two years back" Sanskar said making Arjun shock.

"Yes Papa, I thought they tried to kill because of jealousy over him for Siya but matter was different Papa. He is the sole owner of Singhania Company so they tried to win contract which Jay's company won so they tried to kill him to get that contract" Sanskar said with red angry face..

"Sanskar do you think they will sit quiet after knowing about us?" Arjun asked after thinking bit..

"Who will give them a chance to do anything Papa?" Sanskar said with smirk.

"Means?" Arjun asked him by getting puzzle by his words.

"Already first step of their destruction has accomplished Papa" Sanskar said about the loosing fashion house and about go on bankrupt if they don't settle amount to bank within one month. Arjun got surprised by listening him..

"I didn't know that you are a step ahead of everyone" Arjun said proudly with light smile.

"What's next step?" Arjun asked him by getting serious.

"To coming infront of the world from your hidden identify. They made your life as non existence by killing you and made into hide like a coward. Now it's time to show that Arjun Gadodia is alive who rules business world in all over the world" Sanskar said on which Arjun looked at him like seriously.

"Yes Papa, if we provoke them then only we can able to take next step to destroy them" Sanskar said while thinking next step.

"Ok, then what about Sara and Ragini?" Arjun asked him on which Sanskar turned towards him.

"Even I am thinking the right time you to introduce both of them as your daughters and you to come infront of the world" Sanskar said while thinking deeply.

"Why don't it day after tomorrow?" Arjun suggested him.

"Day after tomorrow?" Sanskar asked him confusingly.

"It's Sara's 25 th birthday" Arjun said with smile.

"What an irony Papa" Sanskar said with sad smile.

"What happened Sanskar?" Arjun asked him with wiggled eyebrow..

"Our both date of birth on the same day"Sanskar said and Arjun looked at him with is it really true.

"Yes Papa, it's true" Sanskar said with a light smile.

"Then leave this matter to me. I will arrange everything and you just enjoy your time with your wife now" Arjun said with bright smile.

"Papa, she asking to accompany with me but I told her that I will bring you both home. If I go alone then she doen't leave me live in peace" Sanskar said while laughing by remembering her cute angry face.

"You don't worry, I will talk with her. You go home and take rest and you need more energy to fight with them" Arjun said while laughing with him.

"Ok Papa, Jay also coming back to Kolkata. I will inform you after discussing about plan with him" Sanskar said finally.

"Ok,but be careful about them" Arjun said with concern.

"Ok Papa don't worry. I will take care of it" Sanskar said with smile.

"Papa, I will take your leave now" Sanskar said while looking at time, it's been three hours when he left home.

"Ok, take care yourself" Arjun said on which Sanskar smiled and after bidding bye to Arjun he left somewhere.

Sara was pacing here and there in room by looking at clock for each minute as She was worried about Sanskar, it's been four hours since he went to meet her father. She called Arjun but he told that Sanskar had left office long back so Sara got worried as he didn't come home yet. She tried to call him but he was not receiving and she called Mark to know about Sanskar's whereabouts but he told that Sanskar went alone.

Sara again called Arjun for not able to hold herself worrying about him. Since accident she was more tensed about him because somewhere she had doubt that someone was trying to kill Sanskar. Sanskar was too conscious about everything then how could suddenly car break got failed but she didn't shared her worry with him about seeing his health condition.

"Papa, he is still not home" Sara said with worried tone. Arjun signed by seeing his daughter.

"Don't worry Swara, I will ask Vikram to look after him and I will keep calling him...ok?" Arjun said inorder to calm his worried daughter.

"Ok Papa" Sara said with sad tone and cut the call. She sat on bed with keeping her chin on her knees while looking at room door.

Suddenly room door opened with crack sound making Sara alert. She looked at door and found Sanskar who was closing door. She got down from the bed hurriedly and ran towards him. Sanskar who was turning towards Sara felt sudden push from front and going to fall because of sudden impact but balanced himself and looked down to found Sara who was hugging him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders protectively and he felt Sara's grip tightened around him.

"Sara, what happened?" He asked her softly while caressing her hairs but she didn't reply.
Sanskar tried to broke the hug but she tightened her grip around him again. Sanskar got worried by seeing her silent so he forcefully broke the hug.

"Sara look at me" Sanskar said softly while holding her shoulders as Sara was looking down.

Sanskar lifted her chin up by his index finger.

"Sara look at me" Sanskar said in pleading tone by not getting any reply.
Sara looked at him by lifting her eyes and drop of tears fell from her eyes making Sanskar got more worry by seeing her teary eyes. He immediately held her face in his both palms.

"Sara, what happened? Why are you crying? You are making me get scared. Pease say something" Sanskar asked her worriedly. Listening him Sara couldn't control herself, hugged him tightly again and started to cry vigorously. Sanskar couldn't understand what happened to her suddenly and he felt more worried by seeing her but now his first priority was to make her calm so he also hugged her back and started to rub her back to calm her. After 5 minutes Sara stopped her cry and just sobbing in his embrace. Sanskar brought her near bed and made her sit on his lap then he poured water in glass and gave it to her.

"Drink this first" Sanskar said while giving glass. Sara took it and drank it silently. Sanskar kept glass on table and looked at her whose eyes became red puffy due to crying. He wiped her tears with his both thumb.

"Now tell me what happened? Why are you crying? Is anyone said something to you?" Sanskar asked her softly while caressing her one cheek with his left hand and Sara nodded her head in negative.

"Then?" Sanskar asked her confusingly.

"I got afraid for you as you were not yet home. I tried to call so many times to your mobile but you didn't receive and also you went alone. I don't want to loose you again" Sara said in-between her hiccups.

Sanskar hugged her and started to caress her to pacify her.

"Sorry, I kept it silent that's why I didn't see. I promise I don't do this again and you don't need to get scare or afraid for me as nothing is going to happen to me till you are with me" Sanskar said while looking into her eyes.

"Don't do this again. I can't live without you if anything happens to you, I will die Sanskar" Sara said while sniffing and Sanskar kept his finger her lips by listening her death word.

"Don't say that word again infront of me. Even I can't live without you. This Sanskar is nothing without Swara" Sanskar said while joining his forehead with her.

"I love you" Both said in unison and both looked at each other and then smiled.

"Now get up and wash your face, if anyone sees you then I don't know what will they to me by making you cry again" Sanskar said dramatically making scared face. Sara laughed out  by seeing him even Sanskar also smiled seeing her smiling face.

"That's like my girl" Sanskar said kissed her forehead.

It was evening all were having nice time while enjoying evening tea, coffee with snacks. Elders were busy in talking about business talks and youngsters were teasing and pulling each others legs. Aashi was sitting on lap of her favourite Chachi Sara while blabbering something about her school to Sara who was listening her with more interestingly with making faces and all were admiring their bond.

Suddenly Sara's face turned into bright happy face by listening someone's voice. She turned towards door and found Riya was standing with bright smile. Sara got up while making Aashi sit on sofa.

"Riyu" Sara said with bright smile and happiness was clearly evident on her face by seeing her after a month. Sara came towards her with fast step and both hugged each other tightly.
All smiled by seeing them.

"Jay" Sanskar whispered with surprisingly by seeing Jay behind Riya. He came near them and hugged Jay.

"You didn't inform me?" Sanskar asked him with surprised tone.

Sara also looked at him by breaking the hug.

"Bhai" Sara said with surprised by seeing him.

"How are you both?" Jay asked her while side hugging her.

"We both are fine Bhai" Sara replied with bright smile

"How are you Jiju?" Riya asked Sanskar with smile.

"I am perfectly fine Riya" Sanskar said with a warm smile.

"You both come inside" Sara said while moving with them. They met everyone and took elders blessings. They were busy in talking with each other forgeting little soul who was looking at them with desperate eyes to get their attention.

Jay looked at Aashi who was sitting while folding her hands over her chest with puffed cheek. Jay smiled and came near him and kneeled infront of her.

"Why my doll is sitting with angry face? doesn't she talk with me?" Jay asked her with smile and Aashi turned her face to another side.

"Oh I got it, my doll is angry with me for not meeting her before going to Mumbai right?" Jay said while making sorry face.

"I am sorry, I won't do this again" Jay said holding his ears.

"Aashi baby don't forgive him so easily" Riya said while sitting beside her. Jay looked at her with a baffle and later glared at her but Riya ignored him and ll were looking at them only. Sara and Sanskar looked at each other with a known smile.

"Ok, if you don't want to forgive me then leave it. I will give all chocolates to someone else which I brought for you" Jay said while getting up and Aashi's face got brighten up by listening chocolates name.

"No no, I am not angry on you. I want all chocolates for me" Aashi said while standing on sofa making everyone laugh at her. Jay picked her in his arms, kissed her cheeks lovingly and gave a winning look at Riya. Riya turned her face to other side by giving him stern look.

"Come doll, I will give you all chocolates" Saying this he went to his room along with Aashi.

"Riya beta you must be tired by travel, take rest" Sujata said while coming near her.

"Wait a minute, how come you both came together? Did you both come together from Mumbai?" Sara asked her while looking at her questioningly with teasing smile on her face.

Riya glared at her by asking such a question infront of all. She looked at all with nervous smile who were looking at them like what was going on.

"Sara, leave her now, you will ask question later. First let her take rest as she must be tired" Sanskar said while dragging her.

"Ramu kaka take her luggage to guest room" Sanskar said to house worker.

Riya gave a look like I will see you later. Sara pressed her lips not laugh by seeing her angry face and Riya went to guest room to get fresh up.

It was night after post dinner, all youngsters were gathering at backyard garden and enjoying the time with each other and even Ragini and Karan also came there. Aashi was sleeping and all elders were left to their room leaving youngsters.

Adarsh Pari, Ragini Laksha, Sara Sanskar, Uttara and Karan all took their seats on mattress which was placed around the bone fire. Lastly Jay and Riya left out and both looked at each other where to sit. They couldn't sit anyone's beside like acting gooseberry between them. Jay looked at Riya but Riya gave him angry glare and settled beside Sara who was sitting at end. Jay also sat beside Adarsh who was sitting at another edge of the circle. Sara and Sanskar chuckled by seeing their cat fight through eyes..

"Bhai, you didn't tell me how you both came together?" Sara asked Jay making Jay startled with her sudden question.

Jay looked at her and then at Riya.

"Umm Sara, actually we both met at plain only. I didn't know she was coming today only" Jay said with tight smile and Sanskar looked at him 'oh really'

"Even I didn't know that he was coming today otherwise I wouldn't have boarded the plain if I knew it earlier" Riya said while looking Sarsan.

"Even I was not interested to come with you" Jay said while glaring at her.

"Who wanted to come with Khadoos boss" Riya murmured under her breath but Jay and Sara heard it. Jay's mouth open wide listening him as a Khadoos and Sara started laugh. All turned towards her by listening her laughing sound.

"Me Khadoos?" Jay asked her unbelievably.

"Yes, you only Khadoos then who else is here" Riya said while pointing towards him.

"Guys stop it, you are fighting like small kids" Sanskar said by stopping them.

"I will see you later" Jay said with glare and Riya also glared at him with a same intensity.

Sanskar looked at all and thought that it was a correct time to tell them as all were present here except elders.

"Attention guys" Sanskar said gaining everyone's heed.

"I want say something so I found its right moment to discuss with you all" Sanskar said while looking at all. All were looking at him only with curious eyes like what he was going to say.
He looked at Sara with a smile and then turned towards all even Sara was confused by seeing his smile.

"Arjun Papa arranged party on day after tomorrow and also thought to introduce you both of them as their daughters and also our marriage reception" Sanskar said making all surprise and confuse. Jay understood their plan but Sara looked at him suspiciously and all with happy. Ragini looked at him with a surprise as well as nervousness. Laksha looked at her nervous face and then held her hand which was on mattress so he kept his hand on her on which she looked at him with a fake smile. Laksha assured her through his eyes that everything would be ok. Ragini was nervous because she accepted them but still there was more gap between them and her. Now this announcement was making her bit nervous.

Sara looked at her nervous face then understood the reason for her nervousness.

"Sanskar day after tomorrow...?" Adarsh said remembering as it's Sanskar's birthday.

"What bhai day after tomorrow..?" Sanskar asked him giving nervous smile and nodded his head not to tell him infront of all and even Sara observed it but kept quiet.

"Days after tomorrow it's Bhai's birthday" Uttara blurted out infront all. Laksha hit her head who was sitting beside her. Adarsh and Jay hit their forehead and then only Uttara realised it later and bit her tongue.

"Sorry, I think I spoiled the surprise" Uttara said making sorry face.

"Nothing surprise Uttara, there is another important matter" Sanskar said with light smile and looked at Sara who was looking at him with surprise as well as questionable eyes that what was another matter.

"Bhabhi, when is your birthday?" Uttara asked her on which Sanskar bit his forehead for her stupidness.

"Oh till now I didn't know but I forgot to ask from Maa Papa" Sara said with light smile. Sanskar signed that it's best surprise to give her that she also doesn't know about her birthday.

"Ragu, I forgot to ask about your birthday" Sara said getting Ragini's attention even Sanskar's also but he felt afraid about something.

"It's on November" Ragini said making Sara confuse.

"Are you sure it's November?" Sara asked her again to get confirm and Sanskar was looking at them with tensed face.

"Yes Sara, Maa told me it's November only" Ragini said.

"Why is there anything wrong about that?" Ragini asked by seeing Sara's confused face.

"No no Ragini, I just asked" Sara said while giving fake smile. Sanskar sqeezed her hand and looked at her with a smile but Sara gave him fake smile which Sanskar understood that she got that something was wrong about it and her parents were hiding something from her but she didn't know that Sanskar knew about the real truth.

"Also surprise is waiting for you" Sanskar said to Sara making all curious.

"Surprise?" Riya asked him on which Sanskar smiled and nodded his head in yes.

"Then we are going shopping tomorrow for party" Pari said bringing heart attack for mens.

"Yes, you all do shopping and call us after your shopping then we will come to pick up you all" Adarsh said while giving tight smile while remembering the horrible scene of carrying their bags and also sitting on couch waiting for them for hours.

"I know Adarsh your plan so nothing will going to work with us. You all are coming with us tomorrow for shopping" Pari said while glaring Adarsh and all chuckled by listening her.

"Ok it's getting late, we should leave now....Good night to all" Sanskar said while getting up because he saw Sara became quiet so he didn't want to anyone question her at this moment so he said bye and went inside.

He came inside his room with Sara and closed the door.

"Sara, what happened? Why are you quiet?" Sanskar asked her holding her shoulder.
Sara looked at him and then thought to ask Arjun first then tell Sanskar. But Sanskar knew her inner turmoil but he couldn't help with it at this moment and make her get more pain by knowing the truth.

"Nothing, just thinking about party as I am feeling nervous about that" Sara said diverting the topic and Sanskar smiled at her lame excuse.

"Nothing to feel nervous, I will be with you and Maa Papa even everyone with you so now don't take tension, just sleep" Sanskar said and Sara smiled by listening him and nodded her head in yes. After changing their dress they slept in each other embrace peacefully.
