Radhe Krishna

"No, she was not in room also and I am feeling so scared Jay" Sanskar said with heavy yet with scared voice. He might be devil in business world but he was very sensitive for his loved ones and most importantly in Swara's matter.

"Don't worry we will find her" Jay said in consoling but he knew it's not going to work as he was also feeling very scared and called Mark.

"Mark check all the security camera and find Swara where she went and ask our security to search for her" Jay said and cut the call.

"Sanskarrr" Jay whispered by seeing Sanskar who sat on near by sofa with thud. They were in the far corner of the hall so that no one could notice them and Jay sat beside him.

"Sanskar, nothing will happen to Swara. Don't think negatively, she will be here somewhere around. Be strong" Jay said in order to console him but he was also feeling scared for Swara. Arjun who saw them together with worried and tensed face, got confuse and he excused himself and came near them.

"Sanskar" Arjun called out his name. Sanskar got a shock as well as Jay. They lifted their head to see and Arjun got confuse by seeing their shocked face.

"Sanskar what happened? Is there something problem?" Arjun asked eyeing both of them and Sanskar was not in a state of mind to tell.

"Uncle, Woh...Swara is not finding anywhere" Jay said with low tone making Arjun shocked.

"What!" Arjun gasped in shock by listening him.
He stumbled in shock but Jay held him at the nick of time.

"Uncle, we will find her, don't worry" Jay said.

"No, I have to find my daughter, I can't loose her like last time" Arjun said with a panic while taking out his mobile, without wasting a second he called Vikram.

"Vikram, search every corner of the Mansion, Swara is not finding and also find suspicious person going out or incoming" Arjun said and cut the call.

"Sanskar, we can't sit here like this. We have to search for her" Jay said making Sanskar come into sense. They looked at the guest who were unaware of the situation and even other family members also.

"Don't tell anyone, they will worried and panic. Call Laksha and Adarsh, I will inform DP ji and Yash" Arjun said and moved towards DP.

They told all men in the family except ladies and they started to search all mansion. Sanskar got a call from Mark.

"Hello Mark, did you find?" Sanskar asked as soon as he received the call.

"Sir, we didn't find anyone suspecious but I found Mam was going towards back side of the kitchen, after that there is no CCTV sir" Mark said and before he told further Sanskar ran towards kitchen and followed by Jay.

"Arjun what happened? You look tensed?" Nandini asked him while keeping her hand on his shoulder from back as he was standing while shouting on call at the outside of the function hall. Nandini didn't find him so she came insearch of him. Arjun turned back and Nandini who was looking at him. He cut the call and looked at her for a sometime. He didn't want to lie to her because they would get angry if they come to know later. However it would have to reveal so he took a deep breath to reduce his tension.

"Swara is missing" Arjun said with heavy voice.

"What!" Nandini exclaimed in shock.

"Arjun, what are you saying?" Nandini asked him with choked voice while looking at him.

"Yes, she is nowhere to be seen. All are searching for her" Arjun said with heavy voice.

"You are telling me now when I asked you myself otherwise you wouldn't have told me right? How could you Arjun? She is not only your daughter. I want my daughter Arjun, I want my daughter safe and sound" Nandini said while holding his shirt collar in her fist tightly looking into his eyes and stream of tears started to flow from her eyes.

"Nandu, nothing will happen to our daughter. I promise you, I will bring her safely" Arjun said while holding her shoulder with assurance to find her.

Here guest were left and only family members were left in the hall. All ladies looked for men but they haven't found anyone. They saw Arjun and Nandini coming inside as she was crying.

"Maa, what happened? Why are you crying?" Ragini came near her as soon as she spotted them while entering.

Arjun looked at all who were looking at them with worried face.

"Swara is missing, all are searching" Arjun said and all gasped in shock.

"Papa, what are you saying?" Ragini asked him not believing her ears.

"Arjun ji, what are you saying? She was here before sometime" Radha asked him in shock and Arjun didn't say anything.

Another side Sanskar who went to kitchen side and came out from the back door of kitchen and looked everywhere but found no one.

"Swara, where are you?" He said in frustration and angry over himself for not being beside her. He ran his hands through his hairs in anger and frustration.

"Sanskar, we will check CCTV ourselves and come" Jay said and both were going but suddenly Sanskar's eyes caught the store room door which was half opened and he rushed towards the store room.

"Sanskar" Jay shouted by seeing him running towards another side and also followed him. Sanskar barged inside the store room and his breath stopped by seeing the seen.

"Swaraaaaa" He shouted loudly and ran toward her who was lying on the ground unconsciously. He sat on his kneel and kept her head on his lap.

"Swara, open your eyes" Sanskar said while patting her cheeks but she was not responding.

"Sanskar, first take her out from here" Jay said and called Arjun.

Sanskar picked up her in his arms and rushed outside towards the hall. He brought her in the hall where everyone was standing with worried and tensed.

"Swara" Nandini rushed towards her. Sanskar made her lie on the sofa. Nandini kneeled beside her on knees and checked her pulse.

"We have to take her to hospital, her pulse rate is very low" Nandini said while getting up hurriedly.

"Sanskar pick her up quickly" Nandini said.
Sanskar picked her up in his arms and rushed outside followed by Nandini. Others also followed them except Pari, Uttara because Aashi would be alone in the mansion if they also went.

Within 10 minutes they reached the Sunshine hospital. Swara was taken into ICU. Sanskar stood looking Swara through glass window as he was dying by seeing her lifeless body. He sat on near by chair with a thud as tears started to run through his cheeks which he was holding from long time.

"Bhai" Laksha whispered seeing him. All turned towards Sanskar who was sitting while palming his face in both hands and trying not to cry infront off all but couldn't, a sobb escaped from his mouth. Sujata sat beside him and hugged him. Sanskar hugged her and burst out into cry. Sujata started to rub his calm him.

"She will be fine, nothing will happen to her, Sanskar" Sujata said with a soothing words. All felt bad for him and praying for Swara. Nandini and Yash were inside the ICU. Arjun was standing silently while resting his head on wall near by ICU.

"Every time, why she only Mom? Can't she deserve some happiness?" Sanskar asked her sobbing little. Sujata broke the hug and looked at him and then wiped his tears.

"No Sanskar, she deserves more happiness that's why God is testing your love so that your love will become strong and no one could break up" Sujata said while cupping his face. Sanskar stared at her face for sometime to believe what she said was true.

ICU door opened and Yash came out while removing Mask.
Sanskar got up and all rushed towards him.

"Yash,how is she?"Arjun asked him with desperate tone.

"Thank God! Sanskar found her little early otherwise we wouldn't have able to save her. Someone injected her adenosine drug to stop her heart beat. Now we injected amiodarone to bring her pulse to normal but we have to keep her under observation for 24 hours to make sure her heart beat comes to stable condition" Yash said making all took relief sign. Sanskar's breath returned back by listening him that Swara is now fine, still some fear was inside his heart untill she woke up.

"Uncle, can I see her?" Sanskar asked him in requesting tone. Yash looked at him who was looking devastated due to excess crying.

"Sure, but don't disturb her" Yash said on which Sanskar nodded his head in yes. Yash moved to his cabin to fresh up. Sanskar entered inside with fast beating heart and saw Swara who was lying on bed with so many machines  were attached to her which were monitoring her heart beat. Nandini saw him who was sitting beside Swara and got up by seeing Sanskar and came near him who was staring Swara.

"Don't worry, she will be fine" Nandini said while caressing his one cheek with a weak smile and went out by giving them privacy. She came out and saw everyone who were standing near the door. Arjun saw her coming out and looked at her.
She looked at him and blinked her eyes.

"She will get conscious by morning. I think it's very late, you all should go home. I will be here with her" Nandini said while looking at all tired face because of function and all.

"Maa, you also go with them. I will be here" Ragini said.

"No, only one person can stay here so you all ho home and come morning" Nandini tried to convince them.

"I think we all should go, Sanskar will be here. I know he can't come leaving Swara at this moment" Jay said while looking Sanskar through glass window.
All agreed to him finally and moved towards their car leaving security guards at the outside of ICU.
Nandini saw Arjun who was looking faraway while in deep thinking.

"Arjun" Nandini called him while keeping her hand on his shoulder.
He looked at her by turning his head.

"She will be fine" Nandini said while looking at him. She knew what he was going through by seeing her on hospital bed again. He looked tough outside but he is very sensitive when it's comes to his daughters. He lost so much in life already and now no more ready to loose anyone.
Arjun didn't say anything just hugged her. Nandini also hugged him back and Arjun looked Swara through glass window.

Inside Sanskar came near her bed and sat on near by chair. He looked at her face which was looking pale. He remembered sometime before her face was beaming with happiness,  bright smile and that blushing face but now all glow has drained out from her face.

He looked at her hand which was connected to drips. He slowly held her hand in his hand and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles then he bent towards her little and kissed her forehead.

"Please wake up soon. I can't see you like this" Sanskar whispered against her forehead and again sat on chair while staring at her.

Maheswari Mansion

All came home and retired to their respective rooms. Arjun and Jay along with Laksha and Adarsh entered into monitoring room where Mark and Vikram were present along with some guards.

Arjun entered inside with furiously and even Jay was looking like volcano which would erupt at any time.

"Vikram did you find anyone suspecious who entered inside the Mansion?" Arjun asked him with authoritative tone.

"Sir, no one found any suspecious in any CCTV camera but Mam was going with one child towards Kitchen. They reached kitchen, after that don't know what happened because there was no CCTV there" Mark said.

All checked the CCTV till Swara reached kitchen and entered, after that there was no footage.

"Shit" Arjun banged the table in anger and frustration.

"I know it's that Gadodia and Sengupta's work, otherwise who has dare to mess with us?" Arjun said with a frustration and anger while running his hands through his hairs.

"Papa please calm down, we will find them surely. First we have to wait for Bhabhi to wake up then she might be tell us what happened there" Laksha said trying to calm him.

"How could I be sit silent untill she wakes up? they have tried to hurt her again. They knew she is precious for everyone here, that's why they were trying to hurt her so that they can broke us through her for what we have did. I won't sit quietly by seeing them hurting our family. They have to pay for their sins, first I want Swara to wake up then I will see them" Arjun said and barged out of the room.

"Bhai" Laksha called Jay who was standing looking at CCTV footage. He turned towards Laksha with a blank mind.

"Bhai it's very late, you should rest. We will talk in the morning" Laksha said calmly.

Jay nodded silently and all trio went outside and then moved towards their respective room.

Jay was going to his room by passing guest room but stopped seeing the guest room lights which was on. He thought to knock but before that door opened little as it was not locked. Jay entered inside and roamed his eyes to find Riya but she was not there in the room. He got confused and checked the washroom but there also she was not there. He thought for a minute and moved towards to terrace.

Laksha entered inside his room and locked the room. He was going towards his cupboard but stopped by seeing figure who was standing in the balcony. He got confused that who must be at this hour in his room. He slowly moved towards the balcony door and saw the figure, it's Ragini who was standing while facing her back towards door.

"Ragu" Laksha called slowly and moved towards her. Laksha came beside her and kept hand in her shoulder. He got shock when Ragini hugged him tightly and started to cry. He also hugged her back and started rub her back. For a minute he got startled by seeing her crying incoherently but later got to know that how much she shows strong outside but inside she is still a little girl who is very sensitive and shy.

"Ragu, it's enough. How much will you cry? If  Bhabhi got to know that I made you cry then she won't let me marry you definitely" Laksha tried to cheer her up.

Laksha broke the hug and wiped her tears with his thumb.

"She will be fine, tomorrow you will see her fit and fine" Laksha said while cupping her face.

"I don't know how I got so attached with her so much in this three months but she became a part of me. When I got to know that she is my sister then my love has increased for her. I never faced any problems in my life but she faced so much then why God is doing this to her. Can't she deserve some happiness?" Ragini said with a choked voice.

"I have never felt like this, for a minute my breath got stopped by seeing her in lifeless body. She brought happiness in this house and made Bhai like before how he used to be happy and Jay Bhai. Because of her, he also decided to move on in his life. She brought a lost happiness to this house. Because of her I got my parents back and another family. I don't want to loose her Lucky" She said in-between her cries and Laksha hugged her again.

"Don't worry, she will be ok by tomorrow. We never loose her. I promise to you that, we all will protect her" Laksha said in soothing words while rubbing her back.

Ragini felt some relief by his talk. She broke the hug and looked at Laksha who was looking at her.

"Thank you" Ragini said with a little smile.

"No need to say thank you and sorry. Now we are half husband and wife so there is no differences between us. I always with you in every step of your life like a true life partner. Now give me a smile, don't worry Bhabhi will be fine as all love and blessings with her then how she will go leaving us" Laksha said on which Ragini smiled luttle and Laksha kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Go and sleep, we will go to hospital tomorrow" Laksha said and Ragini nodded her head and then went to her room.

Here Jay came into terrace and saw Riya who was standing while gazing at stars.
He stepped towards her and stood behind her. Riya sensed someone behind her but she didn't turned back.
Jay pulled her through elbow and hugged her tightly.

"You can cry Riya" Jay said while stroking her hairs. Riya who was controlling her tears burst into loud cry. She started to cry vigorously and Jay stood while caressing her back to sooth her pain.

"I hate her Jay....I hate her....I have never seen my parents face who they were and how they looks. My only family whom I considered with my true heart is Sara. She brought a smile on face from the day when she entered into my life then she became my best friend. Everyone knows that she is timid and shy, introvert type girl and I had to protect her but they didn't know that how much she is strong mentally more than me that she used to give me comfort whenever I needed. I got happy when she got married to Sanskar Bhai because I have strong belief that she will get all happiness which she deprived, not she only got loving family but me also got this loving family because of her. Now I got you because of her and everything was well until today but now see what happened? Might God didn't want her to be happy with her family that's why he is giving her this pain. I never knew the pain of loosing someone but now I am feeling how this must felt when we are at edge of loosing someone. I don't want to loose her Jay. How could she think of giving pain to everyone by leaving, doesn't she show some mercy on us?" Riya asked him in childish way while sobbing.

"We will punish her when she gets fine" Jay said with a sad chuckle.

"Calm down Riya, how much will you cry? I think you will make our children also cry baby" Jay said while trying to cheer her up.

Riya broke the hug and looked at him with a angry glare.

"I am not cry baby ok" Riya said with cute angry glare and then she realised something..

"What did you say? Our children?" Riya said with wide eyes and open mouth and then started to hit him...

"You idiot, we just engaged and you went so far" Riya said while hitting him. Jay held her hand and pulled her himself and caged her in his arms.

"Be like this always, this suits you not this crying baby" Jay said while caressing her one cheek. Riya kept just staring at him and he was consoling her and looking strong but she knew how much he was scared for Swara. She might not be a sister by blood but he accepted her a sister with his whole heart.

"Don't worry too much, she will be fine" Jay said while understanding her inner turmoil. Riya gave a faint smile while nodding her head.

"Come, it's very cold here" Jay said while removing his hands from her waist and both went downstairs.

Sengupta Mansion

Kavita knock at Rajat room door and Rajat asked her to come inside. Kavita closed the door and moved towards Rajat.

"What happened? Did you do?" Rajat asked her while getting up from sofa and came towards her desperately.

"Perfectly, she doesn't have a 1% chance to survive" Kavita said with wicked smile on her face

"That's good, what he think of himself that he can do anything right?  He brought us on road because of her only. If she doesn't exist on this world then what will he do?" Rajat said while laughing with victorious smile.

"You did best Kavi" Chirag who was sitting on sofa said with a smirk.

"They didn't learn a lesson for messing with us even when they lost his friend lover, now his wife" Chirag said with pure hate.

"Bhai, don't worry, I think they won't come near us because of what happened today. They need whole life to digest this truth of Swara's death" Kavita said.

"Are you sure you checked her that she was dead?" Rajat asked her to confirm his doubt.

"Don't worry Dad, I have given her high doze so that no one can save because they need minimum 30 minutes to search her in whole mansion , till then she won't have a breath" Kavita said being proud of herself.

"You did good job today" Rajat said while patting her shoulder.

"Did anyone see you? If anyone saw you then he will dig a grave for us surely" Rajat asked her with scaring for inside.

"No Dad, no one saw me. I went inside with one of female waiter ID and Swara has only seen my face. She only tells anyone if she survives from the death bed" Kavita said with a victorious smile.

Outside Sahil was standing with shocked expressed on his face. He was sweating in fear, he heard a foot steps and hurriedly moved towards his room. After Chirag went to his room and came out and then moved towards his father's room. He barged inside his father's study room.

"Dad" He barged inside while shouting with red angry face.
Sharat who was seeing some files looked up by listening loud sound of door opening.

"What happened Sahil?" Sharat asked him calmly while turning his files pages.

"Don't you know what Kavita did today?" Sahil asked him with anger.

"What she did?" He asked nonchalantly.

"You are asking as if you don't know. She injected Swara so that she can die. You all had decided to kill Sanskar not Swara right?" Sahil spatted in anger not able to digest the truth.

"Sahil calm down, I can understand you but do you think if we will kill him then she will be yours? No way, what will you do by getting her. So many girls are lining up for you" Shara said while trying to pacify his son.

"No Dad, I only want her. No one else, if anything happened to her then
I won't sit quietly" Saying this he barged out of the room.

Sharat sat down while signing for his son's stubbornness.

16 March 2023
Sunshine Hospital Kolkata

Swara wiggled her eyes to open then she slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times to get clear view and then looked around then came to know that she was in hospital. Her breath was in stable condition and she tried to move her hands but found tug on her hand and then looked down to find Sanskar was sleeping on bed while keeping his head on bed and holding her hand in his. Swara removed her oxygen mask and moved her right hand towards his face. He was looking very peaceful and calm in his sleep. She caressed his face slowly while admiring him. Sanskar scrunched his eyebrow feeling cold on his skin. He opened his eyes and looked at a hand which was on his face. He immediately got up and saw Swara who was smiling at him weakly.

"Swara" He got up and bent towards her and held her face in his both hands.

"Swara, are you alright?" He asked her not able to believe his eyes. He thought that he would lost her again.

"I am fine Sanskar" Swara said with a weak tone.

"Do you how much scared I was? How could you do this? Do you think if anything happens to you then I will live without you?" Sanskar said while looking at her with a teary eyes.

"Don't say like that, I won't go leaving you. Your love brought me back from death, we are meant to live longer" Swara said while caressing his face. Sanskar held her hand which was on his cheek and kissed it then only door opened and Yash and nurse came inside and then they checked her.

"How are you feeling now Sara beta?" Yash asked her.

"I am feeling better uncle" Swara replied with a weak smile as she still feels weak in her body..

"Sanskar, now she is out of danger but she has to stay here today and we will shift her to ward" Yash said while turning towards Sanskar and later they shifted her to normal ward.

Sanskar was making her to sit as Swara insisted him to sit. Suddenly they heard the knock on door and they asked them to come. Arjun, Nandini, Sujata, Ap and DP, RP entered inside.

"How are you feeling now beta?" DP asked her while caressing her hairs.

"I am feeling better Bade Papa" Swara said with a light smile.

"Get well soon" DP said with a smile and asked her about her health one by one. Swara looked for Arjun who was standing at the corner behind all.

"Papa" Swara called him and all turned back to see Arjun who was standing quietly since he entered inside.

"Why are you standing there? Won't you talk with me?" Swara asked him like a child.

Arjun couldn't control his emotions came near her and took her in tight hug, all smiled by seeing them.

"I am sorry, I couldn't protect you. I failed to keep you safe for this time also" He said as his eyes were filled with tears.

"No Papa, don't blame yourself. It's not you fault"Swara said while breaking the hug.

"It's their fault who tried to kill me, don't blame yourself for their sin" Swara tried to make him understand. Sanskar's face colour changed by listening her. Swara looked at Sanskar's direction who turned his face other side to avoid her eyes as soon as Swara saw him. Swara got confused by seeing him but ignore it that it might be something. After that all retired to their respective work except Sanskar and Jay. Riya and Ragini came also came there. They were talking and suddenly Riya remembered something.

"Sara do you know who injected you?" Riya asked her and Swara's face became blank by listening her. All turned towards her because they have forgotten this matter.
She looked at Sanskar who was looking at her with hidden fire in his eyes.
