Maheswari Mansion

After having breakfast all men left to their respective work and all ladies of the house thought to do shopping of Ragini and Laksha's engagement and then men decided to join them later.

Maheswari Mansion
Evening

It's was 7 pm all returned home from shopping with their shopping bags and went to their respective rooms to get fresh up before dinner time.

Sanskar after getting fresh up, he was sitting on sofa while checking his mails and Swara was in washroom. Sanskar got a call from Mark.

"Ha Mark" Sanskar said as soon as he received the call.

"Sir it's Chirag Gadodia's number" Mark gave information about his recent call number.

"Are you sure?" Sanskar asked him again to confirm.

"Yes sir, it's 💯 cent sure" Mark said.

"Ok" Sanskar said and cut the call.

Sanskar sat there while lost in his thoughts that he didn't come to know when Swara has come and stood infront of him.

"Sanskar" Swara called him but he didn't reply.

"Sanskar" Swara shook him little for not getting any response. Sanskar brought into sense and looked at Swara who was looking at him with worried and concerned eyes.

"What happened? You look disturbed?" Swara sat beside him.

Sanskar looked at her and then took a short breath.

"Just thinking something, nothing serious" Sanskar said with a light smile.

"Are you sure? You are not hiding anything right?" Swara asked him again because she was not convinced.

"It's not me Swara, you are hiding something from me. What are you hiding from me? What did that Chirag said to you? I know you are hiding this because of me but don't do that. I don't want you fall in danger so please tell me" Sanskar thought in his mind.

"Sanskar" Swara called him again by seeing him lost again.

"Let's go, all must be waiting" Sanskar said and got up from the sofa. Swara thought to ask him later.

After having dinner all retired to their respective rooms as they were tired because of shoppings and all. Swara was sitting with Riya in her room while talking about random things.

"Riyu, how many days you both are going to be like this without confessing?" Swara asked her while setting her things in her cupboard.

"He already confessed" Riya said casually.

"What!" When?" Swara asked her with a wide eyes.

"When I got injury, I was almost lost my conscious but I could hear him little bit and he confessed that he loves me" Riya said with bright smile remembering his confession.
Swara saw her happy face which was glowing brightly in happiness which she rarely had seen on her face now days.

"Oh that's why madam is playing with him that you were sure about his love right?" Swara asked her with raised eyebrow.

"Yes, but that's not the reason" Riya said with a bright smile.

"Then?" Swara asked her confusingly.

"I know that he loves me but I am not sure about myself that should I believe his words or not. I want to believe him but my fears holding me back. I know he loved Siya and still Siya is in his hearts. I want to confirm what my place in his life Sara. I grew up like orphan and have no one except you. I want a life partner who stand by my side till my last breath. I am not asking for him to forget Siya and love me only but assurance that he doesn't leave my hand in situation. I know it's take time to come out of her thoughts to accept me and I am giving him a time to come conclusion about himself completely that does he ready to stay in relationship or not but that doesn't mean I am doubting his love but my heart is fear to get hurt Sara" Riya said and looked at Swara who was listening her.

"What if he shouldn't have confessed then?" Swara asked her with raised eyebrow.

"Don't know what would I have done. If I knew him that he would confess his love by seeing me dying then I wish I would have done before to listen those three words if it is for just minute before I die and I would have been happily died back then" Riya said with making Swara Angry.

"Riyaaa" both startled by hearing a loud sound from the door and turned back to see Jay who was standing there with red angry eyes.

"Bhai" Swara whispered by seeing him with a shock. Riya got scared by seeing him with angry red eyes, he just heard last conversation.

Jay came near them and he looked at Riya with intense firing eyes.

"Don't you dare to say that again" Jay said in warning tone by holding her shoulder tightly. Riya got scared by seeing red angry eyes with angry tone even Swara also got scared. Riya was feeling pain in her arms as Jay was holding her shoulder tightly.

"Bhai" Swara said while composing herself. Jay came into sense and looked at Swara then at Riya who has tears in her eyes due to pain.
Jay realised and removed his hands quickly.

"Sorry" Saying this he rushed out of the room and both were looking at his retreating figure of him.

"Riya" Swara put a hand on her shoulder and Riya came into sense and looked at Swara who was looking at her with concern.

"Are you ok?" Swara asked her as she observed Jay was holding her shoulder in tight grip.

"I am feeling inner pain than physical pain by seeing him Sara. I don't know how much I am capable to remove that fear from him and make him believe that he won't loose anyone. Did you see just by listening, how he reacted?" Riya said with teary eyes.

"Don't worry, I know he will overcome with his fear. I trust you that you can make him like before but I am too angry on you, don't talk about dying again. It's obvious that he got angry for listening you" Swara said while caressing her one cheek with fake anger and Riya gave a faint smile.

Jay came into his room and ran his hands through his hairs in frustration and anger on himself by shouting and hurting Riya.

"Jay, can't you control your anger. Don't you know she fears of your anger though you scared her again" Jay scolded himself while palming his face. He drank full glass of water to calm his nerves.

He sat on sofa with closed eyes while resting his head on back of sofa.
He heard a knock on door and Jay opened his eyes instantly and composed himself and then asked to come in.

Swara entered inside with water jug.

"Swara you,come" Jay said with a light smile. Swara came inside and kept the jug on side table and then settled on bed facing Jay. Jay looked at her with apologetically.

"Swara, I am sorry. Actually I got angry unknowingly by listening her so I didn't know what came in my mind that I shouted..." Jay said with slow tone with sorry face.

"It's ok Bhai, I can understand your fear but if you live with fear for every moment like this then you won't be able to find happiness Bhai. I am not saying danger won't come if we have a fear to get hurt but we should be strong to face enough not like a fear for each second what happens to our loved ones. Instead of that we should determine to protect them not to fear for anything. I know you love Riya but don't show your fear on her in the form of anger. Just keep your fear aside and then enjoy the present moment then you can say how you feel. Yes, one last request, don't get angry like this, seriously for a minute I got a scared seeing you and haa confess your love before she changes her mind" Swara said went out while laughing. Jay chuckled listening her then became silent and started to think what Swara has said now..

It's true that he fears for his loved ones that anyone will harm them that's why he got angry on listening death world. He already lost his family and his love now whom he started to love is also talking on death so he got angry naturally.

Swasan room

Sanskar was waiting for Swara as he wanted to confront her by anyhow because he didn't want her to get hurt by any means or from anyone especially from that Sengupta and Gadodias. If it's of someone else matter he would have been wait till Swara tell herself but it's Chirag Gadodia. He has very well image of him so he couldn't take any chance that Chirag could harm his family or Swara so he needes to know what he told Swara or did he threatened her? He knew that Chirag must have threatened her with something.

He got a call from Mark and he received the call and then came into balcony while talking.

"Yes" Sanskar said.

"Sir, we got some information about Sengupta" Mark said with professional tone and he gave a information what he got to know.
Sanskar got angry and fisted his hand to control his anger while gritting teeth.

"Mark do as I say ok?"Sanskar said with dead serious voice.
He told him something and cut the call. He was standing with holding rails and closing his eyes while thinking deeply. He came into sense when he heard balcony door opening sound and it's Swara who came into room after bidding bye to Jay and  looked for Sanskar but she didn't find him in room so she thought to check balcony and saw him standing while facing his back to door.
Sanskar opened his eyes and composed himself and then turned around to see Swara. His eyes softened and felt relief by seeing her infront of his eyes. Swara came near him.

"Sanskar, what are you doing here alone? I thought you were sleeping" Swara asked him with a smile. Sanskar just pulled her through waist and caged her in his arms. Swara landed on his chest with sudden pull and then kept her both hands on his chest and looked at him by lifting her head.

"Why are you asking when you know very well that I can't sleep without you?" Sanskar said while removing her hairs from her face and looked down at her.
Swara was just gazing at him with loved filled eyes.

"I don't know what I have done so good thing in my life that I got you as a my love, my life partner, my soulmate and my everything" Swara said while cupping his left cheek. Sanskar held her hand which was on his cheek and brought it near his lips still holding her in his arms and placed a soft kiss on back of her hand.

"No, I am very lucky get you as a my life partner" Sanskar said looking into her eyes.

Both were gazing at each other lovingly.
Sanskar wanted to ask her but he stayed silent not knowing how to ask her and ruin this beautiful moment. Though he couldn't kept quiet knowing his wife was putting herself in danger and see her getting hurt.

"Swara" He called her softly on which Swara looked at him who was looking at her with some worried, tensed eyes and Swara looked at him confusingly.

"Will you answer me truthfully if I ask you something?" Sanskar asked her and Swara became more confused by listening him, still she nodded her head in yes.

"What is bothering you? Are you hiding something from me?" Sanskar asked her making Swara shock. She looked at him shockingly but soon composed herself before he noticed her but he was watching her every reaction.

"I know you don't hide anything from me on purposely but if you have hid then it would have hurt me more than you Swara, if it's small or big but don't do that. If you share with us then we can find solution but if you hide this from everyone then it would hurt more everyone later when they comes to know" Sanskar said. Swara was looking at him with shockingly as her face colour drained out by listening him that he got to know that what she was hiding and Sanskar read her eyes.

"I got to know who called you. It's not difficult for me to know what he told to you but I would prefer to listen it from you only" Sanskar said making Swara guilty. She bent her head down by feeling guilty and shame on herself by not trusting him and believing him and tears slipped out from her eyes.
Sanskar lifted her head by his fingers and looked at her who was closing her eyes and silent tears were streaming out from her eyes.

"Swara" Sanskar called her softly and Swara opened her eyes by listening her name. He wiped her tears with his thumb.

"Are you not angry on me?" Swara asked him on which Sanskar smiled.

"No, why should I get angry on you? It's just I was worried for you that you would get hurt" Sanskar said making Swara feel his love for her. She instantly hugged and started to cry vigerously. Sanskar tried to break the hug but she didn't as she was holding his t-shirt tightly in her fist.

"Swara" he forcefully broke hug and cupped her face.

"Why are you crying?" Sanskar asked her softly.

"I am sorry" She slowly whispered in-between her cry.

"Why are you saying sorry? You didn't did any big crime or mistake to ask sorry" Sanskar said while wiping her tears which was running on her cheek continuously.

"I am sorry for lying to you on that day. I told that my friend called me but it's Chirag Gadodia. I was afraid for you. I know you wouldn't have sit silently by knowing in anger and then he would have done something with you like he did to Bhai and Siya. I was afraid for your life. He said that he will kill if you don't stop this revenge. I don't want to loose you again Sanskar like last time. If something happens to you then I will...."before she said something Sanskar captured her lips and started to kiss her. Swara could sense his anger in that kiss. She just let him do whatever he wants because she knew that she was at fault this time. Sanskar broke the kiss after sometime and looked at her while joining his forehead with her.

"Don't ever say that again. I will die before you do if something's happens to you. You know this heart beats only for you and this heart also stops it's beats with you when you will leave this world" Sanskar said on which Swara kept finger on his lips and nodded no. Sanskar hugged her and Swara also hugged him back.

"I am sorry, I won't do anything again" Swara mumbled slowly against his chest. Sanskar tightened his grip on her and both were standing silently still being in each other embrace while listening each other heartbeats.

"Sanskar" Swara called him slowly on which Sanskar looked down who lifted her head to see him.

"Can you do something for me?" Swara asked him with a hopeful eyes.
Sanskar stared at her face for a minute.

"You don't need to ask my permission, your wish is my command" Sanskar said with a chuckle. Swara smiled faintly by listening him.
Sanskar saw her smile and thought that something was serious so he broke the hug.

"What is it Swara?" Sanskar asked her and Swara looked at him.

"Can't you stop this revenge here only. I don't want anyone to get hurt in the process of making them get punishment. We all already suffered without each other and now if something happens to them? I know they are not good and they try to hurt anyone of us if we keep intruding in their matter...please" Swara said in requesting tone.

"Are you fearing for them?"Sanskar asked her.

"No Sanskar, I am not fearing for them but I am fearing for our family and for us. I don't want anyone of us fall in danger because of them. Please let it be, we are happy now. Please I don't want to ruin this happy family like last time" Swara said while caressing his one cheek as her eyes were teary. Sanskar was looking at her that he could feel her how much she was scared of loosing anyone in family. He closed his eyes while taking breath and then opened again and then he cupped her face.

"Ok, for you, I can do anything. This is a small wish of you then can't I agree for this. Ok I won't involve in their business...happy?" Sanskar said with a smile and Swara's face brighten by listening him.

"Thank you" Swara said while kissing his both palms which was on her cheek and Sanskar also smiled by seeing her happy face.

15 March 2023
Maheswari Mansion.

Like this days were passed and it was the day of Raglak engagement. Sanskar discussed with Jay and Arjun about this. He asked them don't do anything for sometime till marriage happened. He promised Swara that he won't do anything but how could he leave them like free bird when they killed many souls and also he can't do injustice with Jay for killing Siya and unborn baby. Sometimes he thought to leave all this revenge but he can't when he saw his best friend in hospital bed for threevyears. Swara suffering alone without parents though he didn't know before but he could feel being orphan without anyone's love and care. How could he leave them to enjoy their life who was the reason for their sufferings? He knew that Swara was scared of them as she doesn't want to loose anyone whom she got after long time. In these days Jay was trying his best to pacify Riya but she was adamant not to melt easily for his tricks so she was giving him a hard time and enjoying his irritated face.

It was evening time, all house was decorated with colourful flowers,  lights and family members. They decided to do engagement in Maheswari Mansion only. All mens were attending the guest and they have invited only trustworthy people and close friends. They already knew that Sengupta's and Gadodia's would try to do something so in precaution they just invited close friends and family members. Mansion was surrounded by all security guards and CCTV. Only invited press reporters were allowed. Sanskar arranged all security as he knew they would try to do something. They didn't do anything till now because they were seeking perfect opportunity so that they could execute their plan. He didn't tell this to Arjun or elders in home only Sanskar and Jay only knew this.
All youngsters were making Laksha and Ragini ready in their respective rooms. Swara was ready in red designer plain saree with matching silver earrings looking gorgeous. Ragini was ready in black colour gown looking beautiful. Riya was ready in red gown, looking gorgeous. Sanskar was in black suit looking as always smoking handsome, Laksha was ready in pink shirt with blue coat looking handsome. Jay was ready in black shirt and maroon coat looking handsome.

"Jay Bhai, did you talk with Riya?" Laksha asked him who was sitting on sofa while using his mobile lazily.

"Yes but she is still angry on me" Jay said while lifting his head lazily making sad pout. Sanskar was chuckling himself by listening him. He knew that Riya was irritating him purposely.

"Do you think she will accept your love?" Laksha asked him thoughtfully.

"Why? What is less in me? I am well settled, handsome, loves her so much then what else does she need to accept me?" Jay said while boasting about himself with attitude. Sanskar and Laksha pressed their lips not to laugh by listening him and Jay saw them and frowned.

"You can laugh, what was funny in this? I said truth" Jay said with annoying.

Both burst into laughter.

"Nothing funny Jay. You are perfect in everything but do you know why she is angry on you?" Sanskar asked after controlling his laugh.

"Because I ignored her all these days so she is taking revenge of that" Jay said making faces.

"No" Sanskar said on which Jay looked at him questioningly. Sanskar became serious.

"Because of your anger. She is testing your patience" Sanskar said making Jay wonder. He stared at Sanskar and Sanskar came near him after adjusting Laksha's broach on his coat.

"You know in all these I came to know about her one thing that she looks very tough from outside but she is very soft from inside. She doesn't show anyone her emotions if it's pain or happiness. She shows that she is strong but she is craving for love, care and strong support for her life. She is trying to find that in you because she wants to assure herself that you don't leave her and go someday because she still thinks that you are living in the memory of Siya. So she was insecure about that. She loves you but afraid to confess because of her insecurity" Sanskar said.

"No Sanskar I am very sure about my decision" Jay said with a determination.

"Think wisely before taking further step. Do you ready or not because once you confessed your feeling for her and bind in relation then you have no chance to back off. If you  hurt her and makes her cry then you will see the worst of me for hurting my sister" Sanskar said with a attitude making Jay's jaw drop by listening my sister.

"When she became your sister?" Jay asked him with a open mouth.

"From the day when she entered this house" Sanskar said making Jay smile.

"I will never hurt her and not allow anyone to hurt her. I will keep her happy, this is my promise" Jay said while holding Sanskar's hand and Sanskar smiled.

"Oh hello, here engagement is mine but you both are making it emotional drama" Laksha said with frown and both laughed listening him.

"Laksha" AP and Sujata entered inside.

"Yes Maa" Laksha said while turning towards door where both women were standing with bright smile on their face.

"Aaa my sons are looking handsome today" Sujata said while taking nazar of trio.

"Chachi, we are always handsome" Laksha said dramatically.

"Ha ha we know" AP said while laughing.

"Come down soon, guest has arrived already" AP said and went down. Trio left downstairs after them.

Another side Swara and Riya were making Ragini ready.

"Chachi" Aashi entered inside while calling Swara.
Swara turned back and saw Aashi standing behind her and smiled at her.

"Aashi baby, you are looking very beautiful" Swara said while picking her in his arms and kissed her both cheeks.

"Mumma made me ready, how am I looking?" Aashi said cutely.

"You are looking very beautiful" Swara said again with a smile making Aashi smile brightly.

"Chachi, you are also looking very beautiful" Aashi said while kissing her one cheek.

"Only chachi?" Riya asked her while making fake sad face.

"Di, you also looking very beautiful. Jay uncle will go flat on you" Aashi said making trio shock and wide their eyes. Riya's cheeks turned into red by listening her.

"Why?" Riya asked her while composing herself.

"You don't know, he always stares at you whenever you are around him. I think he likes you. Today you are looking more beautiful" Aashi said making trio amused by listening that when she observed all this.

"You naughty girl, where you learnt all these talks?" Swara asked her.

"I listened Lucky chachu and Jay uncle talking" Aashi said making Riya's cheeks more red in shyness.

"This Lucky na, I will see him later. He was talking these talks infront of kid" Ragini said with gritted teeth.

"Ragini" Pari entered inside.

"Mumma" Aashi called her by seeing her entering inside and got down from Swara.

"All are waiting downstairs, you all come fast" Pari said to them and she picked up Aashi in her arms and went downstairs..
