Maheswari Mansion

Sanskar's sleep got disturbed due to sun rays. He turned lazily without opening his eyes and slide his hand on another side to find Swara but she was not there. He frowned not finding her and he opened his eyes lazily and then looked around the room to find her but she was nowhere to be seen. He sat up on bed while yawning and looked at the time as it's showing 8 am. He thought that she might be went downstairs. He got down from the bed and went to get fresh up. After 20 minutes he came outside after getting fresh up and saw his dress and necessary things were arranged neatly on sofa. Sanskar got ready in his black suit and looking handsome as usual. He came out from the closet and his eyes searched for Swara but didn't find her.

"Where she went? Still not showing her face to me. Is that work more important than her husband?" Sanskar murmured himself in annoyance and let out sign. He turned around by listening someone's presence.
Swara entered inside with Aarati Tal and smiled by seeing Sanskar.

"Where you went? I was searching you since I woke up and you are showing up now" Sanskar asked her with frown on his face.

"I went to temple with Maa in the early morning and you were sleeping so I didn't want to disturb you" Swara said standing before him and she put tilaka on his head and then fed him sweet. Swara put plate on table and took the tie from his hand which he was holding.

"I don't know how you became businessman that you don't know how to tie a simple tie" Swara asked him while putting tie around his neck. Sanskar pulled her through waist on which Swara landed on his chest just with jerk.

"Sanskarrrr" Swara said while glaring at him.

"When I have a beautiful wife like you then why should I do it myself and moreover when I am getting chance to romance with my wife so why should I bother to tie myself " Sanskar said while nuzzling his nose in her face.

"Sanskar anyone will come, door is open" Swara tried to come out from his hold and she was feeling difficult in his embrace as his touch was making her out of breathe.

"Let them see even they had done this before or will do in future. You already spoiled my morning by not showing your face, now don't ruin my remaining day. Just give me what I want now then I will go" Sanskar said while looking at her and going to kiss her.

Swara felt him coming near her face.

"Sanskar... door" Before she could say Sanskar claimed her lips in his and started to kiss softly. Slowly Sanskar moved inside the closet along with Swara as they were standing near the door of closet and he pinned her to the door of cupboard and deepen the kiss. Swara also started to respond to him by melting in his touch. They broke the kiss when they felt out of breath, both were panting heavily. They calmed bit after sometime and both looked at each other with a smile.

"I think now it will work for today" Swara said wiping lipstick mark on his lips with her saree pallu.

"You know you are making it hard for me to go office" Sanskar said bending towards her to kiss again. Swara pushed him back and rushed out of the closet.

"All are waiting for you downstairs so come fast, what will they think about us if we couldn't go at a time?" Swara said while stuffing his things in his bag.

"Are you not coming to office?" Sanskar asked her.

"No" Swara said and turned towards him.

"Why? I will miss you in office you know" Sanskar whined like a child while making sad face.

"I wanted to spend some time with Maa...please" Swara said in pleading tone while standing before him.

Sanskar smiled by seeing her innocent face.

"No need to ask, you can do anything. Enjoy your time with all and take care" He said and kissed her forehead leading to Swara smile and both went downstairs.

Sengupta Mansion

Shekhar's family and both Sengupta father and Son, all were sitting in living hall.

"Sharat do something before they do something for us" Rajat asked him in fear.

"Rajat calm down,they can't do anything because they don't have any evidence against us and moreover they don't know about me being involved in their accident so let me handle about this" Sharat tried to console Rajat.

"How can I be calm when they snatched everything from us. Fashion house, Mansion and Company also and now we are penniless. Sanskar Maheswari made us beggar in one day, I won't leave him" Rajat spatted out in anger and he was burning in anger on Sanskar and Arjun.

"Calm down Rajat, what's the use of killing Sanskar when we have a better option" Sharat said with smirk.

"Means?" Sahil asked him confusingly.

"His dear wife, he loves her so much. If anything happens to her then he will be broken completely not only he even Arjun also. His life reside inside his lovely daughters" Sharat said making all eyes wide and soon it turned into evil smirk.

Karma Office

Sanskar was working in his cabin and his mobile ring broke his silence and he looked for caller ID. He got happy by seeing the caller.

"Hello Arav, what a surprise? You are calling me after a long time" Sanskar asked with smile.

"What to do, little bit busy in college so didn't get a time to call you" Arav replied from London.

"On serious note, I have important information for you" Arav said in serious tone.

"What is that?" Sanskar asked him sensing his serious tone.

"It's about Siya and Jay. I sent something to your mail and you can check it. It may become help for you, when you asked me to send any information if I get. When I was searching, by mistakenly I got proof from car dashboard camera" Arav said to him. Sanskar opened his mail in his system and saw mail from Arav.

"Its video" Sanskar said still being in call.

"Yes, you can check. I will call you later and I have class to take...bye" Arav said and cut the call.

Sanskar played the video and got shocked as well as anger started raise inside him with each second by watching the video, his hold tighten on the chair arm, he banged his hand on table as soon as video ended. He ran his hand through his hairs to calm his anger and frustration, his eyes became red in anger.

"Sanskar" suddenly Jay entered inside Sanskar's cabin by calling him.

Sanskar turned towards him. Jay got shocked by seeing him with red eyes and tears in his eyes.

"Sanskar what happened?" Jay asked with concern while coming near him.

Sanskar hugged him tightly when Jay came near him. Jay got baffled by this sudden hug of Sanskar as well his tears but he also hugged him back and started to rub his back.

"Sanskar what happened?" He asked him calmly with worried tone and tried to break the hug.

Jay broke the hug and looked at Sanskar who was avoiding his eyes and tries to be normal. Sanskar knew how much he hated himself for not protecting them, he almost lost Jay in that accident. Jay turned his face by holding his chin..

"What happened? I never saw you like this as per I know you, tell me what happened?" Jay asked him with concern.

Sanskar turned towards the system and played the video.
Jay also turned to see video. Jay stood their with blank face by watching the video. Sanskar kept his hand on his shoulder and Jay turned back not able to watch as his eyes filled with tears by seeing that scene. It's CCTV footage of where Siya was murdered and where Chirag tried to kill Jay.

"I will just come" saying this Jay rushed outside the Sanskar's cabin and he dashed with Riya who was coming in opposite direction to meet Sanskar for some work.

"Sorry" Jay without seeing her directly went towards the stairs with haste steps as say literally running.
Riya got confused by seeing him running without noticing her.

Sanskar also came behind him by being worry about him and he stopped by seeing Riya.

"Riya, where he went?" Sanskar asked her with worried face.

"Upstairs" Riya said pointing towards up.

"What happened? He was looking not ok" Riya said with confused as well worried about Jay.

Sanskar was going to say something but his PA came asking him about meeting which was going to start in five minutes.

"Riya, can you please go to Jay?" Sanskar asked her on which Riya was looking at him with confused as well nervous face.

"I will tell you later, just go to him and don't ask him anything at right now" Sanskar said in requesting tone.

"Don't worry Jiju, no need to request me. I will go to him and you go to meeting" Riya said with light smile.

"Thank you" Sanskar said and went with his PA..

Riya moved towards upstairs with nervous face. She came to terrace and searched for Jay and then saw him sitting on swing while bending his head with palmed face.

Riya came near him and looked at him who was covering his face with palms. Riya felt nervous and hesitation but gaining little courage, she sat beside him. She lifted her hand to put on his shoulder but took it back by remembering his anger.
Jay sensed someone's presence beside him and he lifted his head and saw Riya who was sitting beside him with worried face. Riya got more worried and concern by seeing red teary eyes and devastated state of him. Riya felt pain by seeing him in pain and Jay was just looking at her. Riya lifted her hand and put it on his one cheek and wiped his tears with her thumb. Jay couldn't able to control himself his emotions and hugged her tightly making Riya shock. He just needed someone's shoulder to lean and l share his pain at this moment. Stream of tears started to flow from his eyes. Riya was feeling nervous but now her first priority was Jay so without thinking anything she hugged him back and started to rub his back to make him calm.

"They killed her infront of my eyes and they killed her because of me. She died because of me" Jay was blaming himself and saying in between his cry.

"She died because of me, if she didn't have met me then she would have been alive. I killed her" Jay was blabbering as he was not in sense.

"No Jay, it's not because of you..." Riya tried to make him understand.

"No, it's because of me" Jay said while breaking the hug..

"No Jay, it's not because of you. They are her culprit, it's not you" Riya tried to calm him and broke the hug and then saw him who was crying.

"No Riya, you don't know, it's because of me. If she didn't...."he was in full out of sense. Riya was shocked by seeing him behaving out of sense, she was trying to calm him but he was not listening just blabbering the same thing.

Riya couldn't able to see him in that state so she slapped him hardly to make him come back to sense. Jay stopped and looked at Riya while keeping his one hand on his cheek.

"Come into your sense Jay, it's not your fault and it's not because of you, it's not because of you. Leave that guilt that she died because of you. You have no fault in that, they are her culprit. They will get their punishment for their deeds. Forget it,  it's not your fault. Come out of your guilt please" Riya said while trying to make him understand. She cupped his face with her both hands and Jay looked at her who was looking at him with worry, concern, care for him. Jay hugged her in defeat and Riya also hugged him back.

"It's not my fault right?" Jay asked her like a small kid.

"No, it's not your fault" Riya said with smile while rubbing his back. She was also in tears by seeing him in pain.

"It's not you fault Jay. She won't be happy by seeing you like this, blaming yourself for her death. She always wished your happiness and your smile but you are crying and making your life more hard yourself. Please don't feel guilt over her death. You want her to be happy right then you should try to be happy then only she gets peace by seeing your smile. I know you will punish her culprits. I trust you" Riya said with soothing words to ease his pain.

After sometime Jay became calm and then he realised his position. He quickly parted away from her.

"Sorry" Jay said avoiding his eye contact.

"Are you ok now?" Riya asked him with concern by seeing him who was turning another side and not to make it awkward for both of them.

"Yeah I am ok. Thank you, I should go" saying this stood up and rushed out from there before Riya could react.

Riya kept looking at his retreating figure.

"I know you still couldn't forget that incident and feeling guilty for whatever happened. I can understand how much pain you are going through by loosing that person whom you loved once. I don't know how it feels because I don't have anyone to know about except Sara but I will try my best to erase your pain from your life and try to fill with happiness, just give a second chance to your life Jay and don't fall into darkness forever" Riya said in her mind then she went downstairs wiping her tears from corner of her eyes.

Sanskar's cabin..

"Atul come to my cabin" Sanskar asked his PA as soon as meeting got over.

Atul entered inside after getting permission from Sanskar and stood infront of Sanskar.

"Yes sir" Atul said.

"Find everything about Sengupta if it's family or business, everything I want on my table tomorrow morning" Sanskar ordered him.

"Yes sir, anything else sir?" Atul asked him.

"No, just this one. I will tell you later for next work" Sanskar said still working in his system.

"Sure sir" Atul went out.

Sanskar took his mobile and called Mark.

"Mark, tell our men to keep eyes on Gadodia and Sengupta. I want every information about their each step" Sanskar ordered him in his professional tone.

"Yes sir" Mark replied to him in professional tone.

Sanskar kept his mobile and closed his eyes while resting his head back on chair.
He opened his eyes by listening mobile ringing and looked for caller ID and a small smile appeared on his lips by seeing caller ID in this hectic day which always make him feel rekax.

He receives the call and answered.

"Hello Patidev, why you took so long time to receive?" Swara asked him in her strict tone.

"No, I was just thinking something so got late to receive...sorry" Sanskar said in apologetic tone.

"Ok I forgave you, now tell me did you have lunch?" Swara asked him.
Sanskar looked at the time as it was showing half past 1 pm.

"No, now I am going to have. You had your lunch?" Sanskar asked her back.

"Yes I had" Swara replied from another side.

"You know I am missing you so much here" Sanskar said teasingly.

"Ohh! it's been just 3 hours that you went to office" Swara asked him with raised eyebrow.

"Yes, I don't want to stay away from you even for a second" Sanskar said while making sad face.

"Don't make that face. I will come from tomorrow even I don't want to stay away from you" Swara said with a smile.

"Now have your lunch and come home soon" Swara said.

"Ok Madam, bye take care...love you" Sanskar said with a smile.

"Love you too" Swara said while kissing the mobile on which Sanskar laughed out and hung up the call.

Sanskar heard another knock on his door.

"Come in" Sanskar said.

Mark entered inside with cover in his hand.

"Sir" Mark forwarded cover to Sanskar.

"What is this?" Sanskar took and opened the cover.

He got shock by seeing the photos inside the cover and his hold tighten on the photo in anger. His jaws thickened by remembering Swara's unconscious body inside the lift but he composed himself.

"I got it from entrance CCTV camera on the day of Mam's accident sir. I checked another CCTV camera, it's confirm sir" Mark said in his professional tone.

"Ok you can leave now" Sanskar asked him.

"Get ready Ms. Kavita, enjoy your day, just today only. Tomorrow onwards you can enjoy your day in jail" Sanskar said with gritted teeth while watching her pic which he was holding.

Maheswari Mansion
At night

Jay was working in his room but he was not at all concentrating on his work. He got frustrated and pushed the laptop aside and then ran his hands through his hairs to calm himself.

Suddenly he heard knock on his door and he composed himself and took short breath to calm his nerves and then asked to come in. Sanskar entered inside and saw him sitting with frustrated face. Jay tried to be normal but Sanskar knew him better than anyone. Sanskar came inside after closing the door and settled infront of him on bed.

"Are you ok?" Sanskar asked him with calm face but inside he was worried about him.

"Nothing happened to me. I am ok, it's work stress" Jay tired to lie but he didn't know that his best friend would catch him within a second that he was lying or not. No one could understand Jay better than Sanskar.
Sanskar stared at him as he didn't say anything. Jay got that he couldn't lie infront of him anymore.

"I am just disturbed, I can't concentrate on anything" Jay said with sign.

"I know you are thinking about that video...." Sanskar asked him.

"Not about that, it's just I don't know what was happening to me" Jay said with confused as well as unsure tone.

"Don't take stress about anything too much, it's about today's video then just leave it on me. I will take of care them" Sanskar said on which Jay looked at him.

"No it's not like that, about taking stress, I am fine" Jay replied quickly.

"Then?" Sanskar asked him.

Jay felt nervous as well as in dilemma that what to say and how to explain.

"It's about Riya" Sanskar said on which Jay looked at him with wide eyes.
Sanskar got confirm about it, he just guessed it but it turned out to be true.

"What Riya? no nothing like that" Jay said with avoiding his eye contact.

"What I said that you are reacting like this, is there something between you two?" Sanskar asked him while raising his one eyebrow as inside he was smiling that he knew it's about Riya only.

"Jay look at me" Sanskar said turning him towards himself.

"I am not forcing or imposing my opinion on you but one thing, just give second chance to yourself. I know you loves Siya still though life doesn't stop for anyone if they left us or go away. I am not saying you to forget Siya and marry someone else. Siya always will be in your heart as a special person, it's just that think about everyone who loves you and wants you to be happy in your life. I am not going to give long lecture as you already know and mature enough to take your life's decision, it's totally up to you and think wisely" Sanskar said and got up from the bed and then went out by saying good night leaving Jay in deep thoughts.

Sanskar entered inside his room and saw Swara who was closing her eyes while sitting on bed with head resting on bedpost and waiting for Sanskar. She opened her eyes by listening door closing sound.

"You didn't sleep yet?" Sanskar asked her while coming near bed.

"I was waiting for you" Swara said with smile.

"It's already late, let's sleep" Sanskar said while lying on bed. Swara also lied beside him and put her head on his chest and Sanskar wrapped his hand around her shoulder holding her securely in his embrace. Sanskar switched off the table lamp and just moon light was coming inside though glass wall through white curtains. Swara looked at him by lifting her head little.

"Sanskar, was something happened in office?" Swara asked him by feeling his silence and also he was in deep thoughts. Sanskar lowered his eyes and saw Swara who was looking at him desperately for answer.

"Nothing, just thinking about Jay" Sanskar said the truth because he didn't want to lie or hide anything from her.

"What happened to Bhai? He was fine right?" Swara asked him while sitting beside him still being in his embrace as Sanskar sat while resting his head to bedpost.

"No, he is not ok, today we got CCTV footage of accident where both were attacked" Sanskar was going to say further but Swara interrupted him.

"You showed him the footage" Swara asked him with unbelievable tone.

"Yes, he came inside when I was watching so I couldn't able to hide it from him" Sanskar said apologetically.

"Sanskar" Swara glared at him while sitting infront of him by facing him.

"Swara listen to me first" Sanskar asked her with calm tone by seeing her angry glare.

"Matter is not about that video" Sanskar said while looking at her face.

"Then?" Swara asked him confusingly.

"He is running away from his feelings. He is scared to accept his feeling and fear to fall in love again like if he loves again then he will loose it. He is scared to give second chance to his himself because he is too scare to loose his loved once" Sanskar said what was bothering Jay.

"It's about Riya right?" Swara asked him and Sanskar nodded his head in yes.

"She loves him Sanskar but she is too scare of his anger to confess" Swara said with chuckle by remembering Riya's words.

"I think we should do something that he can realise his feelings for Riya" Swara said in thoughtful voice.

"How?" Sanskar asked her.

"Leave it on me, I will do. You don't take tension about Bhai. I am here na, I will see how many days he can stay away from his feelings?" Swara said while smirking and Sanskar thought that his wife had something big plan in her mind.

"Ok let's sleep, you have to see a big drama in office tomorrow" Sanskar said while lying on bed again.

"Drama?" Swara asked him confusingly.

"Yes, I will tell you in the morning. Now sleep I am getting sleep" Sanskar said pulling her and Swara fell on him with his sudden pull. Sanskar rolled over her and Swara looked at him shockingly as she didn't get know what just happened. Sanskar dig his face in her neck while nuzzling and started to give soft kisses. Swara's hold tightened on his back by feeling tickling sensation and his touch was making her loose her sense.

"Sanskar you said that you are sleepy" Swara teased him.

"Ahhh" Swara moaned a little as Sanskar bit her neck.

"Sanskarrr" Swara tried to say something but interrupted by him

"Shut up and let me do my work" Sanskar said in between his kiss.

"Who is stopping you, you only said that you are slee..."before Swara could complete Sanskar captured her lips making shut her mouth. Swara smiled in between the kiss by seeing his angry bird's desperate.

8 March 2023
Morning

Sanskar was sitting on sofa while typing something in his Mac. Swara came outside after getting ready in her office suit and she was wearing simple cotton plain kurta with leggings and one veil on her one side.
She left her hairs open with nuptial chain was adoring her neck and red sindoor on partition of hair which was giving more beauty to her.

"Sanskar" Swara came out from the walk in closet while calling his name. She came outside while tieing her watch. Sanskar looked upon by lifting his head from his Mac and felt awestruck by seeing his beautiful wife infront of him. His breath stopped in his lungs by seeing her in peach colour dress as she was looking more beautiful. Swara stood beside bed while stuffing her things in her bag like mobile, hanky, pen, files and other necessary things. She felt herself in back hug as Sanskar hugged her from back and nuzzled his face in her neck. Swara felt her breath hitched when his hot breath was fanning on her neck.

"Sanskar, what are you doing?" Swara asked him with great difficulty as he was hugging her back giving her tickling sensation in her stomach.

"You are looking more beautiful today so that I couldn't able to stop myself and thought to cancel going office today" Sanskar said and made her turned himself.
He was going to kiss her but Swara put hand in between them by stopping him and Sanskar looked at her with frown.

"We are getting late for office as you told we have a something important work in office and these things afterwards" Swara said while coming out from his embrace.

"You are too bad, you spoiled my mood" He said with angry pout and went towards his Mac, closed it and then kept it inside his office bag. He was going to take it but felt tug in his hand and looked above, found Swara who was holding his hand. She turned him towards himself and Sanskar was looking at her like what she was going to do.

Sanskar's eyes widen instantly feeling her lips on his lips as Swara started to kiss him. Sanskar smiled and started to kiss her back. After sometime they broke the kiss.

"Don't be gloomy" Swara said while wiping his lips with her duppata as her lipstick was on his lips.nSanskar smiled and kissed her forehead leading to Swara smile..
Both went downstairs to join. They were descending the stairs and Riya was also ahead of them little bit. Jay was standing beside the stairs waiting for Sanskar. Riya was looking at Jay who was doing something in his mobile. She was descending with absent minded and suddenly she slipped as she stepped on the edge of stairs.

"Ahhhh" She screened in fear and going to fall on the floor as she was near the end of the stairs.

"Riya" Swara also screamed and all turned towards the stairs by listening  shouting sound. Before she hit the ground a pair of hands were holding her through waist. She closed her eyes in fear and clutched his shirt in her fist tightly to hold her grip tight. She opened her eyes slowly not feeling any hurt or pain. She looked above and found Jay who was looking at her with worry and fear. He was looking in his mobile when he heard Riya's screem, he looked at her who was going to fall, without a second he rushed towards her and held her before she hit the ground. He was looking at her with scared eyes and as his breath hitched in his lungs by seeing her falling. He couldn't think anything other than Riya at this moment. Riya was looking at him with and found different feelings in his eyes, his eyes were showing fear and care but something different than these.

"Riya are you ok?" Swara asked her worried face while coming near her. Both came into sense and Jay made her stand.
Riya nodded her head in yes.

"Be careful while walking Ms. Riya" Jay said in his stern tone and left towards dining table.
Sanskar and Swara looked at him along with Riya.
Sanskar also followed him and Swara put a hand on Riya's shoulder. Riya turned towards her and gave faint smile. Swara blinked eyes in assurance that everything would be fine.
