Radhe Krishna

He stood up by seeing Sara who was coming towards dining table. Shock would be an understatement for Sanskar. Arav got confused by seeing Sanskar's change of expression and then he turned back to see Sara who was coming. Sara who felt something stopped and looked up to see Sanskar who was staring at her with shocked expression. His breathe stopped by seeing her infront of him.
Sara felt something unknown feeling inside her heart by seeing him, her heart beat started to beat with fast rate by seeing him. She also stood in the middle of way by seeing him, both were staring each other. Sanskar with love, passion, longness, happy with all mixed emotions. Sara felt unknown emotions were raising inside her which she couldn't know herself.

"Sanskar" Arav called him but he was too shock to react. Arav shook him again to bring him back to present.

Sanskar looked at him and then Sara who was staring at Sanskar with different kind emotions inside her.

"Sanskar, she is my sister Sara whom I told you earlier" Arav said introducing Sara. Sara came near them still not breaking the eye contact.

"Sara, he is Sanskar" Arav said to Sara while showing Sanskar.

"Hi" Sara said with a light smile.

Sanskar kept staring at her because he couldn't believe his eyes that he was seeing his Swara in real.

"Sanskar what happened?" Arav asked him while shaking him again.

"Ha...ii" Sanskar said with difficulty because words were not coming from his mouth in the happiness yet in shock by seeing Swara all alive infront of him. A huge lump formed in his throat to say anything.

Sara moved towards Sanu with confusion by seeing him as well as herself and picked her up in her embrace and started to console her who was crying.

"Bhai, you carry on, I will just come" Sara said by feeling awkward in  situation. She went towards kitchen where Arohi was working. Sanskar kept staring at her retreating figure.

"Papa we are done, we are going to play" Druv said and ran towards hall along with Saras to play.

"Sanskar, what happened? Is there something wrong with you?" Arav asked him with concern. Sanskar sat on chair with thud, his eyes filled tears, he kept his palm on his mouth to stop making sound. He was feeling ecstatic at this moment and didn't know how to express his feelings by seeing his love, his life infront of him but at the same time he got confused why didn't she recognise him.
Arav was getting worried by seeing him.

"Sanskar, you are making me worry, tell me what happened suddenly?" Arav asked him while keeping his hand on his one shoulder with worry and tension.

"Swara" Sanskar could just able to utter these words.

"Swara" Arav asked him confusingly.

"What are saying Sanskar" Arav asked him again not getting what he was trying to say.

"She is my Swara" Sanskar said making Arav shock.

"What?" Arav said in loud voice with shock and he couldn't believe his eyes what he just heard.

Sanskar wiped his tears which was rolling down on his cheeks already.

"I want to talk with her" Sanskar got up and was going towards Sara where she went but stopped by feeling hand on his wrist. He turned and looked at hand which was holding by Arav's hand and then he gave confused look to Arav by seeing him holding

"It's not a correct time to talk with her Sanskar" Arav said with calm tone making Sanskar confuse.

"Means? She is my wife Arav. You know how...." He couldn't able to say anything further.

"I know Sanskar how much you suffered and she also but now you can't talk with her at this moment" Arav said with serious tone.

"Why?" Sanskar asked him in defeated tone with painful eyes.

"She doesn't remember her past, she forgot everything Sanskar. If you go to her and tell her that you are her husband, do you know what will happen if she tries remember her past?" Arav asked him seriously and Sanskar looked at him confusingly.

"It will bring risk to her life Sanskar" Arav said while calming himself. Sanskar got shock by listening him and Arav composed himself.

"Come with me" He asked him and dragged him to their home garden and then both sat on bench. Sanskar was sitting silently without asking anything and Arav was thinking to how to start.

"We came to Mumbai for some survey with our students in Western ghats. Arav started to tell the story..

I and my team came Mumbai for some survey in western ghats. We were resting near by river in the forest where we got Sara who was lying on the banks of river and she was severely injured on her head and some scratches on her body. We checked her pulse that she was breathing, she couldn't get heavy injury anywhere because she fell into water. We immediately admitted her near by hospital. Doctor told us that her condition was very critical and chances of survival was very rare so asked us to decide if you want, you could admit her in big hospital or you could take her to home. I thought to shift her to London because we were returning to London back on the next day and we couldn't stay there with our team for long. We informed police that we were shifting her to London hospital. I gave them my contact if anyone could have asked about her by chance. I thought to wait some more time till police trace about her family but no one was able to take her responsibility. I couldn't think anything at that moment and I took her with me here and then admitted her here in hospital but then also her condition was in very critical and moreover she was three months pregnant on that time, luckily her reproductive organ was not damaged and baby was safe. She got severe injury on her head only so she went into coma after two days. I didn't know what to do, just hoping that one day she will wake up.

Arav turned towards Sanskar who was looking at him shockingly.

"Doctor told us that if she doesn't wake up then it will harm babies. She was carrying twins" Arav said with sad chuckle and Sanskar was just staring at him blankly.

"Luckily she woke up after a month but she has forgotten her whole memory. We couldn't able to find her family or husband because she completely forgot everything. We tried to know if anyone came in search of her in Mumbai but got nothing. She was in very shock by knowing the truth that she couldn't identity herself and moreover she was pregnant. I and Arohi did a lot of effort to bring her normal because she was not able to bear the shock and also pregnancy news was making her go crazy. She became normal, she tried to become normal for the sake of her babies which was growing inside her. We brought her to our home that she denied at first but Arohi and me forced her to live with us for some days till she got her family and she became my sister for whom I was craving for. She gave birth to Saras and Sanu. She forgot her pain by seeing their smiling face. Later after a year I suggested her to join college to mingle with everyone because I couldn't see her to sit in home alone by thinking about which she has forgotten but she asked me to join to do master. I recommend her in college to do master because she didn't remember what she has learnt. After two years she joined our college as a assistant lecturer and now here she is" Arav finished telling whole story. Both kept silent after that as Sanskar was in deep thoughts.

"If she couldn't remember then her name and babies name which we decided to keep it on our music academy...how?" Sanskar asked him after breaking the silence.

"She just remembered her name which always ringing in her memory so she thought it must be her name and babies name" Arav stopped for a while looking at him and then continued.

"About babies name, she was murmuring these names in her sleep. We asked her about these names but she told that she doesn't remember but might be her heart knew that answer so she kept these both names for them" Arav said with sad chuckle.
Sanskar kept quiet as he didn't know what to say at this moment after listening how much she suffered without him.

"Sanskar" Arav called him after thinking something.

"Hmm" Sanskar turned towards him.

"Why didn't you search Swara, if you have searched her properly near by places then you might have got information about her" Arav asked him confusingly because it's true that if they enquired near by hospital then they would have got information about her surely.

Sanskar let out sad chuckle by listening him and making Arav confuse.

"I went into coma after the accident and woke up after 6 moths. When I woke up from the coma I asked first thing family about Swara, they told that she was dead. I couldn't ask more by knowing that she left me alone to suffer but even I didn't new that God didn't only betray me but also kept my kids away from me. I am only happy about him that he kept her safe somewhere and my kids also. He tested us again by separating and also punished my kids by separating us" Sanskar said and closed his eyes in pain.

"I think they also thought that Swara was dead because by seeing the height no one could thought that anyone could survive when they fall from and moreover they didn't want you to stay in pain for searching about her for your whole life so they told you that she was dead" Arav said by understanding family's concern.

"Might be but I knew that my Swara is alive because my heart still beats for her, see again it brought me to her only" Sanskar said with sad smile.

"Papa" Druv was running towards Arav.

"Mamu" Saras was running behind Druv to reach Arav first.

"Champ slow" Arav shouted loudly by seeing them running fastly.

"Mumma" Saras shouted in pain as he stumbled water pipe in garden.

"Champ/Saras" Arav and Sanskar shouted both by seeing him falling down. Sanskar immediately rushed towards him and picked up him in his embrace while kneeling down on grass and made him sit on his lap. Arav also came near them with Druv in his arms.

Sanskar checked his both legs as if there was any wounds or not but there was not any wounds luckily because it was grass.

"Champ, are you ok?" Sanskar asked him with worry and concern.

Saras nodded his head in no cutely with little scare. Sanskar hugged him tightly while embracing him fully in his chest. He was feeling his son for the first time which he missed in these four years. Saras was not understanding but kept quiet. Arav smiled by seeing father son. Sanskar broke the hug and kissed Saras all over the face lovingly and again hugged him.

Saras giggled by feeling ticklish because of his kiss. Sanskar broke the hug and got up from the floor while picking up Saras in his embrace. He made sit him on bench and kneeled infront of him.
He cupped his face and kept looking at his features. He is same like Sanskar, nose, lips and everything he went on Sanskar. Saras was just gazing at Sanskar with his chocolate brown eyes. Sanskar smiled by seeing him and kissed his forehead lovingly. He was feeling something which he couldn't express at this moment by feeling the feeling of being father. He never expected this that he has two children whom he could call as his.

"Uncle" Saras called him.

"Call me Dad or Papa" Sanskar said with a smile while caressing his one cheek. He wanted to listen calling him Papa. He was very desperate to listen since he came to know that they were his kids. Saras eyes became wide by listening him..

"Really! you are my papa" Saras asked him with happiness yet excitement.

"Yes" Sanskar said while smiling brightly.

"Then why didn't you tell me before when you came to our home?" Saras asked him innocently.

Sanskar was tongue tied by listening him because he didn't know what to answer when he didn't have any idea that he would meet them like this unexpectedly.

"Your Mumma forgot me and doesn't remember about me that's why I didn't tell you" Sanskar said in the hope of making him understand in simple way.

"How could she forget you?" Saras asked him confusingly not understanding in his tiny brain.

"Your Mumma met with an accident before you born so she forgot about me but don't worry soon she will remember me" Sanskar said with a smile.

"Then we can live together when Mumma will remember about you?" Saras asked him with excitement while jumping from the bench.

"Then I will tell Mumma that you are my papa and then she will remember you" Saras turned to run inside to tell Swara with excitement not thinking anything.

"Champ" Sanskar held him at the nick of time before he messed up everything.

"Champ, you won't tell Mumma anything" Sanskar told him calmly making Saras confuse.

"Champ, I will make Mumma remember me, till then you won't ask Mumma about me. Moreover you won't call me papa infront of your Mumma. You can call me when we are in alone" Sanskar tried to make him understand.

"Why won't I call you papa?" He asked him innocently.

Sanskar slapped himself mentally not knowing how to make him understand.

"Because she will get angry on me again if you call me infront of her, do you want she to get angry on me more?" Sanskar asked him while making sad face.

"No" Saras said while shaking his head.

"Then be a good boy and listen to me, don't tell anything to Mumma whatever happened here. Promise?" Sanskar said while forwarding his hand.

Saras looked at him then at his hand. He couldn't understand why he was telling but he didn't want his Mumma to get angry on his papa at this moment when he got his papa finally.

"Promise" Saras said with a bright smile while keeping his tiny palm on Sanskar's palm. Sanskar and Arav smiled and Sanskar pulled him in his embrace and Saras also wrapped his arms around Sanskar's neck with happiness.

"Sanskar what will you do now?" Arav asked him worriedly because they couldn't reveal truth infront of Swara at now. They first need to know about her health condition before telling about her past that her mind was able to take this truth or not and moreover they didn't want to put her life in risk.

"I will take slow steps to make her remember, Arav. I am happy that she is alive with safe and sound, that's most important at now for me" Sanskar said while tightening his grip on Saras and kissed him above his hairs.

"Surely, she will remember you all, I have that hope by seeing your love" Arav said with smile and assurance. Sanskar just gave him smile and four went inside and then saw Arohi and Swara was coming out from the kitchen with Sanu in Swara's arms, Saras was in Sanskar's arm. Sanskar stopped in his track and stood while looking at Swara who was giggling with Sanu while saying something. A smile formed on his lips also his eyes filled with tears by seeing this beautiful view and also paining not being part of that beautiful view but he was happy at least he could see them. Sara turned towards door by feeling constant gaze on her, saw Arav and Sanskar and also got more surprise by seeing Saras in Sanskar's arm because Saras didn't get attached with anyone easily and here he was sticking with Sanskar like glue whom he just met him before half an hour.

"Papa" Saras whispered near Sanskar's ear making him look at him.

Sanskar looked at him questioningly.

"What should I call you infront of Mumma?" Saras asked making Sanskar wonder. He looked at his with amusement by seeing him so understandable.

"You can call me whatever but not papa" Sanskar said in low voice with a smile. Saras thought for a minute.

"Ok I will call you buddy" Saras said making Sanskar smile.

"Ok done" Sanskar said with a smile. Swara was wondering what they were talking and smiling with each other.
Arav moved towards Swara and Arohi and he made Druv stand on floor.

"Sara, Sanskar is staying here with us for some days" Arav said making Swara's heart beat went up, already she was feeling unknown pull towards him since she heard his name now he was going to stay here that too in this house. It was something she couldn't deny or accept. She nodded her head with little nervous smile. Sanu was staring Sanskar and Saras who were talking something with each other while smiling.

"Sara, can you make two cup of coffee for both of us? I want to have your handmade coffee" Arav asked her making Swara and Arohi confuse.

"Sure Bhai" Sara said with a smile and was going to turn to go kitchen but stopped.

"Swara" Sanskar called her making her went numb, that name started to ring in her mind as soon as he called her, same voice and same name. Sanskar realised what he did.

"Sorry Ms. Sara" Sanskar said immediately and Swara looked at him quickly composing herself.

"If you don't mind I would like to have tea" Sanskar said making all wonder. I would prefer tea over coffee" Sanskar said while smiling at her. Swara's heart skipped by seeing his charming smile, her heart started flutter just by listening his voice and now his smile which was making her feel which she never felt before. She shrugged her feeling aside and went inside making Sanu sit on sofa.

Arohi was looking at trio because she has strong feeling that something was going here. Arav knew that daily Sara would make coffee for them, by knowing that Arav asked her handmade coffee again, this thought was making her got suspicious about them.

"Arav" Arohi called him making him turned towards her.

"What's going on here?" Arohi asked Arav with raised eyebrow while folding her hands over her chest.

Arav looked at Sanskar who blinked his eyes to tell him the truth.

"Champ, you take Saras and Sanu to your room and play there" Arav said with soft tone.

"Ok papa" Druv said took both Saras and Sanu to his playing room.

Arav took deep breath while closing his eyes and then opened it.

"Sara is Sanskar's wife" Arav said making Arohi hell shocked.

"What?" Arohi said in loud voice unbelievably and her eyes moved towards Sanskar to confirm the truth that 'is it true or not' what she was hearing.

"Yes, she is my wife Swara" Sanskar said making her to believe that what she heard was right.

"How? She?" Arohi barely asked him in shock.

"Arav will tell you later but not now" Sankar said while signing Arohi to look back where Swara was coming with tea and coffee. Trio kept quiet before she notice them and settled on sofa.
Arav and Sanskar sat beside each other and Arohi and Swara sat opposite to Arav and Sanskar. Arohi served both coffee and tea to Arav and Sanskar respectively. Sara took her tea and started to sip.

"Sanskar, why didn't Jay come?" Arav asked him while dragging him in talk because he was giving a try to make Swara remember that if he told about family it might be possible to remember her little about her past.

"You know, Riya is pregnant so she needs Jay more than anyone" Sanskar said while turning towards Arav. Swara was just sipping her tea with unknown feeling which she was feeling at right now by listening each name, she was feeling that she heard about this name also.

"How is all in home? Sujata aunty and Ram uncle?" Arav was purposely asking him. Sanskar looked at confusingly, Arav blinked his eyes and Sanskar got that why he was asking him about them again and agAin when he enquired about them already.

"Mom and Dad are fine but Nandini Maa and Arjun Papa were not ok since she left us" Sanskar said while glancing at Swara with sad look. Swara felt something stirred in her heart by listening their name. Her body straighten up by listening their name but soon she composed by herself before anyone notice.

"What is Laksha's daughter name? She is very talkative" Arav asked him again by remembering her as she once talked with him in call.

"Swaranshi, yes indeed she is very talkative like her father" Sanskar said while smile by remembering her antics.

"But in everything she is like her bade Papa in ordering everyone and loved by everyone" Arav said while laughing.
Sanskar just gave warm smile by listening him. Swara was feeling uneasy by listening their talk and started to feel pain in her head when she tried to remember their name.
Swara held her head in her palm and pressure it to reduce her pain.

"Sara what happened?" Arohi asked her worriedly by seeing her holding her head.
Sara lifted her head and smiled fakely because not to make them worry.

"Just little headache Bhabhi, I just need rest" Sara said with fake smile.

Sanskar got worried by seeing her face expression becayse he just came to know by her face expression that she was feeling severe pain in her head.

"Should I call doctor?" Arav asked her worriedly.

"No Bhai, I am fine, it's just little headache" Sara said.

"Ok you go to room and take rest, I will wake you up at dinner time" Arohi said with a concern. Sanskar was just looking at her with worried, concern and tensed expression on his face and Swara nodded her head and left to her room.

"I don't know what happened to her, that day also she came early because of headache. I asked to call doctor but she denied" Arohi said with sign.

"Don't worry, I will tell her to see doctor once if it keeps repeating" Arav said with assurance.

Arav turned towards Sanskar who  lost somewhere.

"Sanskar" Arav shook him little which broke Sanskar's thought.

"I think she was trying to remember that's why it was hurting in her head" Sanskar said, Arav and Arohi looked at each other confusingly that they didn't get realised why it was paining.

"Yes, it might be because she never had headache like this since she came from hospital" Arohi said while thinking.

"I think it will be better to stop pressuring her mind because it may can put her life in danger if she tries to remember" Sanskar said looking at them.

"Arav I want to meet her doctor" Sanskar asked him while thinking something.

"Ok, I will take you tomorrow" Arav agreed to him.

Swara came into her room and sat on bed while thinking herself.

"What was happening to me, why was I feeling that I know them, and also I know Sanskar for long time but why don't I remember anything? If I knew him then he also must know me right? If he knew me then he would have recognised me? Ahhh...my head is going to burst by thinking over it. What should I do? Should I ask him directly or let it be? I don't know but my heart is pulling towards him since I saw him. I could feel something in his eyes whenever I see him, what was that? I think he is missing his wife. Sara you are becoming mad thinking about him. You are a mother of two kids, stop thinking about another man, it's not right" So many thoughts were running in her mind at now and she closed her eyes while leaning on bedpost.

At downstairs Arav and Sanskar were talking about random things while looking after trio kids who were playing in living hall.

"Are you going to tell family about Swara and kids?" Arav asked him by seeing him staring at his kids.

"I don't know" Sanskar said averting his gaze from children to Arav and Arav looked at him with puzzle.

"If I told them then they will be here next moment which I don't want because she doesn't remember anyone and moreover it will harm for her health. If I don't, then it will be unfair to them. I don't know what should I do? Even I don't know that she will remember past or not? Even I don't know how can I tell her truth? If I tell, then how will she react? Will she accept it in positive way or in negative? I am afraid Arav" Sanskar put it out his worries and anxious infront of Arav.

"Don't worry everything will be fine, just put your faith in your love. I am sure she will regain her memory till then don't tell family" Arav said while consoling him.

It was night, all were having dinner, Swara was sleeping so they didn't disturbed her. Arav was making Druv eat and Arohi was making Sanu eat and Sanskar was feeding Saras. Since he came to know that he is his father, he wanted to do all things by Sanskar only which Sanskar also loving it. He wanted to talk with Sanu but she was not coming near him but staring at him from far and now also she was doing the same. Sanskar looked at her with corner of his eyes and smiled by seeing her staring at duo who were feeding each other.

"Arohi, you take food to Sara room and I will make them sleep in Druv's room" Arav said to Arohi who was cleaning dining table with maid.

"Ok, you don't worry, I will make sure that she will her food" Arohi said with assurance.

"Where is Sanu's tablet?" Arav asked her and Sanskar's ears got straight listening him that he totally forgot about her having fever in the morning.

"Ohh sh!t, where is she?" Sanskar asked Arohi while looking around but couldn't find.

"She might be with Druv in his room" Arohi said while looking around.

"You can go and talk with her, Sanskar, she must be wanting to talk with you because I was observing her since you entered our home, she was looking at you only" Arohi said while laughing.

Sanskar gave a small smile and after wishing good night, he moved towards Druv's room.

Sanskar checked Druv's room but couldn't find them and after thinking a while he thought to check Swara's room so he was coming towards Swara's room to check her once because his heart couldn't stop not to see her but stopped by seeing the scene which brought smile on his face because Saras and Sanu were peeping inside the room to see if Swara waa awake or not. He came near them with slow steps not making sound.

"What are you doing both?" Sanskar asked them with low tone not to disturb inside person.

"Shhh! papa slow, Mumma will get up" Saras said while keeping his index finger on his lips making Sanskar chuckle. But Sanu Kept looking at Sanskar with her wide eyes by listening Saras calling him Papa.

"Papa" Sanu whispered slowly as her eyes filled with tears by remembering her yesterday school incident.
Sanskar saw her teary eyes and got worried and concern.

"Sanu" Sanskar whispered slowly with worry by seeing her teary eyes.

"You are my papa" Sanu asked him with low voice innocently making Sanskar's heart sunk in pain.
