It was late in the evening Sanskar and Arjun were sitting in garden having evening coffee while talking about business things.

"Did you make arrangements?" Arjun asked him while sipping his coffee by looking at him.

"Yes papa, it's almost done" Sanskar said while lifting his head and looked at him.

"Papa" Saras came to while running towards him

"Champ slow, you will fall down" Sanskar told him with concern by seeing him running.

Saras came while smiling and extended his hands towards Sanskar to pick him up.

Sanskar picked him up and made him sit on his lap with smile and Saras smiled with grin.

"Where is Sanu?" Sanskar asked him by seeing him alone otherwise they always would have been together wherever they go.

"She is with Mumma as they were making rasagulla" Saras said while licking his lips with twinkling eyes. Sanskar and Arjun laughed out by seeing him excitement.

"Papa, can't we stay here today in Nanu's home?" Saras asked him while making puppy face with hopeful eyes. Sanskar looked at him not getting what to say and then at Arjun who was smiling at Saras with proud smile.

"Champ, you stay here with Mumma and I will come to pick you up tomorrow" Sanskar said with smile inorder to convince him.

"No, you also stay here with us" Saras said stubbornly while making puppy face.

"Sanskar, Saras is saying right! You stay here today. It's been ages since you came here and also we will get some time to spend with you all and also Swara will be happy. I know she won't stay here without you and moreover if she agreed then also we all know you can't stay away from Swara" Arjun said with teasing smile by remembering last time incident. Sanskar looked at Arjun with being embarrassed and then Saras who was looking at him with puppy eyes that he couldn't able to deny him.

"Ok" Sanskar said with a smile.

"Yeahh! I will tell Sanu and Mumma" Saras jumped from Sanskar's lap and ran inside to tell them excitedly. Sanskar and Arjun laughed at him.

"Papa, I will call home and inform them" Sanskar said and excused himself from there.

One week passed and tomorrow is a most important day for them. Sanskar was preparing surprise for Swara and Swara was planning something for Sanskar keeping it hidden from each other.

March 4 2028
At night 11.50 pm

Sanskar was doing some office work in his study that he didn't realise how much time has been passed and he was deeply engrossed in his work. Suddenly power cut off and Sanskar frowned by seeing that. He waited for back up system to switch on but got confused not switching on even after 5 minutes. He got up from sofa to call security and going to open the door but before that someone opened the door and standing while holding the cake in their hand with candle. Sanskar smiled by knowing that it was Swara.

"Swara" Sanskar said by seeing her face which was glowing in candle light. Swara smiled and came inside while holding cake. She placed the cake on table and looked at time in her mobile. She counted 10 seconds to 12 am and then turned towards Sanskar with smile.

March 5 2028

"Wish You Happy Birthday my dear Patidev" Swara wished him with bright smile on her face and Sanskar also smiled. Sanskar cupped her face and looked into her eyes.

"Whish You Happy Birthday my dear wifey" Sanskar also wished her back with smile. Suddenly room light switched on and all family members entered inside while cheering for them. Both looked towards them and smiled.

"See Bhabhi, you wished Bhai first so now you don't have any complain about that right?" Laksha said to her teasingly and Swara smiled shyly because she objected everyone to wish him first.

All wished them and they cut the cake and then fed them each other and all family members fed both of them and blessed both. At last they bid bye by saying good night and leaving them alone.

"Papa, Happy Birthday" Sanu wished him while jumping on him while wrapping her hands around his neck as she was standing on sofa and Sanskar hugged her who was standing beside her.

"Thank you princess" Sanskar said while kissing her cheeks and Sanu laughed by feeling ticklish.

"Papa, this is for you" Sanu gave him handmade birthday card.

"Mumma, Happy Birthday" Sanu wished her and gave her another handmade card.

"You made this?" Sanskar asked her with surprised.

"Yes but Aashi Didi helped me" Sanu said cutely making both smile.

Swara and Sanskar both opened the card and looked at each other being emotional. Their eyes welled up by seeing it as it was drawing of family picture. She drew Swara and Sanskar with Saras and Sanu. Sanskar looked at Swara and Swara blinked her eyes while nodding no. Sanskar hugged Sanu tightly being emotional.

"Thank you princess" Sanskar said with smiling through tears.

"Papa, Mumma Happy Birthday for both of you" Saras said by seeing them as he was waiting for to give his gift. Sanskar blinked his eyes to hide tears and broke the hug and then looked at Saras with smile.

"Thank you champ" Sanskar said while kissing his forehead lovingly.

"This is for both of you" Saras gave his gift. Swara took it with smile and unwrapped it and there was a photo frame. Swara looked at it and bright smile appeared on her lips by seeing it. She showed it to Sanskar and he also looked at him surprisingly yet emotionally.

"It's beautiful Champ" Sanskar said while side hugging him.

"How did you get these photo?" Sanskar asked him amusingly because it was photo which had taken during their outing in London. Swara and Sanskar with Saras and Sanu were playing and Arav had taken their photo without their knowledge.

"Arav Mamu sent it to Laksha chachu and he got me frame" Saras said making both overwhelmed with happiness.

"It's best birthday gift of my life which I have ever got. You both are precious more than anything" Sanskar said and hugged them by pulling in his embrace and then looked at Swara who was smiling at them. He extended his hand still hugging Saras. Swara also hugged them and they had group hug. Sanskar broke the hug and looked at them.

"Chalo, it's very late night. Let's go to sleep" Sanskar said making them stand on floor and four left towards their room.

At Morning

All got up early and did pooja(veneration) in house temple. Sujata and AP prepared sweets for Swara and Sanskar. Swara and Sanskar took blessings from all elders in home. Arjun and Nandini also joined them in the morning breakfast and wished them both.

After having breakfast Swara and Sanskar came back to room.

"Swara take this and get ready quickly, we are going somewhere" Sanskar said by giving her one cover packet.

"Going somewhere?" Swara asked him confusingly.

"Yes" Sanskar said with smile while taking his suits.

"Where are we going?" Swara asked him while coming near him who was texting someone in his mobile.

"It's surprise" Sanskar said lifting his head and smiled at her but Swara looked at him with narrow eyes.

"Go fast" Sanskar said immediately by seeing her who was going to ask further.

"Ok" Swara didn't ask further because she knew he won't tell how much she pestered him.

Swara took packet and went to get ready. Sanskar asked Sujata to take Saras and Sanu with them. Sanskar got ready in black tuxedo with latest model Rolex watch on his left hand and combed his hair by applying gel. He looked into mirror and smiled by seeing himself.

"Perfect" He said while spraying perfume.

He looked at time as it was showing 10 am and was waiting for Swara to come out from closet.

"Swara come fast, we are getting late" Sanskar called her from outside.

"Ha Sanskar coming" Swara said while coming out from the closet. Sanskar's breath hitched in his lungs by seeing beauty infront of him. She was looking devine in that saree which was perfectly suited her. It was light sky blue and yellow combination design saree with stone and embroidery work on it. She wore simple matching jewellery with it and it was looking elegant on her. Totally she was looking very beautiful in that saree and smile was making her more beautiful. Swara lifted her head as she was adjusting saree plates and looked at Sanskar who was looking smoking hot in his new style. Both had beautiful eye lock which was disturbed by Sanskar's mobile ringtone. Sanskar cursed the caller who called him at the most important moment. Swara looked down while blushing and Sanskar received and cut the call after talking. He came near Swara who was taking her clutch and mobile. Sanskar stood behind her making her breath heavy by his presence. He bent little from back making her body stiff by feeling his hot breath on her neck.

"You are looking gorgeous" Sanskar whispered huskily making her cheeks red. Swara composed herself quickly and turned towards him and smiled.

"You are looking more handsome today so keep your distance from witches ok?" Swara said in warning tone.

"Why?" Sanskar asked her with smirk by understanding her warning.

Swara looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Why means? If they try to drool on you. Not try but definitely they will by seeing you and today you are looking more handsome like other day" Swara said while twitching her nose.

"You trust me right?" Sanskar asked her while looking into her eyes intensively which has immense love for him.

"More than anyone" Swara said with smile while looking deep into his eyes with love who was looking at her with same love in his eyes.

"Then why are you saying like this?" Sanskar asked her with raised eyebrow.

"Mr. Patidev, I know my husband is Shriramchandra but I don't trust that witches" Swara said and pecked his lips making him shock but soon it turned into mischievous smile. She was going to turn to take her bag but Sanskar pulled her through waist and caged her in his arms. Swara looked at him with jerk and glared at him.

"Sanskar, what are you doing? We are getting late right?" Swara asked him with wide eyes by guessing his next move and started to wiggle go get out from his clutch but Sanskar was holding her firmly.

"Yes, but I don't want to go without getting what I wanted and already you provoked me by seducing" Sanskar said while tucking her front hairs behind her ear. He leaned towards her face making Swara's heart beat raced and Swara was going to protest but Sanskar kissed her making her mouth shut. He started to kiss her slowly yet sensuously and his right hand moved towards her neck pulling her more and left hand was holding her firmly through waist. Swara held his shoulder tightly for support so that she couldn't fall. She also started to respond to his kiss. They broke the kiss out of air and joined their forehead while panting heavily.

"Happy Birthday" Both said in unison and looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Both came downstairs after getting ready and Swara looked around to find anyone as she felt confuse by feeling silence but found no one.

"Sanskar, where are all?" Swara asked him confusingly by feeling dead silence in mansion.

"They went to temple" Sanskar lied because he can't reveal his surprise to her.

"All?" Swara asked him by looking at him suspiciously.

"Arreh Yaar! how much question will you ask? Yes, they all went to temple and now we are getting late come" Sanskar said dragging her towards door without giving her chance to ask further. Swara signed and sent with him. Sanskar was driving car himself and Swara was sitting beside him.

"Sanskar, Sanu and Saras?" Swara asked him with concern and worried for them as she didn't see them after breakfast.

"Don't worry, they are with Mom and Dad" Sanskar said in assuring tone with smile. Swara felt relief by listening him and after 30 minutes of travel Sanskar took U-turn and started to drive in sub path way. At little far away from main road. Swara saw a big building and decorated beautifully with flowers and moreover so many people's were gathering there. Sanskar entered inside the gate making Swara confused yet curious. She saw people and media were gathering there and then looked at family members who were present there already. Swara looked at Sanskar with questionable eyes and Sanskar smiled by seeing her reaction.

"You will get to know in some minutes" Sanskar said and stopped the car at one side. Both got down from the car and Sanskar gave car key to security to park car. Swara looked around to guess the place. It was three story big building with marvelous architecture. Swara was looking the building with wondering eyes. She looked above and her eyes widen by seeing something on wall. She instantly looked at Sanskar with shocked yet surprised eyes. Hey eyes welled up by seeing her dream which was standing infront of her.

"Sanskar, this..." Swara said being emotional.

"Yes, your dream music academy" Sanskar said while wrapping his arms around her shoulder with bright smile.

"This name?" Swara asked him again by seeing the name as remembered saying him once.

"Combination of Saras and Sanam, Sargam. SARGAM MUSIC ACADEMY" Sanskar said with smile making Swara ecstatic.

"Once you choose to decide girl or boy name so I kept combination of both" Sanskar said while looking at the name plate.

"You never fail to astonish me right?" Swara said while smiling brightly as her eyes welled up by feeling his love.

"Might God had listened our confusion to choose one name to keep on academy in that time. That's why he blessed us two precious gems in the form of Saras and Sanu so that we couldn't get confuse go keep the name" Sanskar said while eyeing the name with smile but there was hidden pain. Swara looked at his smiling face but she knew hidden pain behind that smiling face.

"Yes, they are!" Swara said while looking at him and squeezed his palms which she was holding in her hands. Sanskar looked at her with smile.

"Come, all are waiting for us" Sanskar said with smile and they moved towards where all were present there and waiting for Swara and Sanskar.

"Papa" Saras and Sanu came running towards them when they spotted them coming near. Both picked each one and moved towards door.

Media was also present there and clicking their photos and also making videos. Sanskar gave her scissor to cut ribbon and Swara smiled and also held his hand with her. Both cut the ribbon while inaugurating the music academy. Sanskar showed whole building to everyone and classrooms, instruments, technical room, office and staff room every corner of the academy. Everything was beautifully designed and constructed. Swara felt proud of her Architecture husband. Family members also felt proud and congratulated them and after that they came back to home.

At evening

Family members only kept small celebration for them as Sanskar and Swara refused to keep big party. So they decided to celebrate with only family members so everyone was gathered in Maheswari Mansion including Malhotra also.

Swara and Sanskar cut the cake and fed them all. They enjoyed the evening party and kids were very happy by seeing this.

At night

After having dinner. Sanskar was sitting in room while checking his mails in Mac. Swara entered inside the room and looked at Sanskar who was deeply engrossed in his work.

"Sanskar" Swara called him while coming near him.

"Take this and get ready fast. We are going out" Swara said while giving him one cover pack which she bought already for him. Sanskar looked at her confusingly like what she was saying and he looked at time as it was showing 9 pm.

"Swara, are you ok?" Sanskar asked her doubtfully by seeing her that she was asking him get ready at this hour.

"I am perfectly alright. Now don't ask so many questions. Do what I said?" Swara said in ordering tone while keeping her hands on her waist while giving him look.

Sanskar was going to say but she showed her hand while showing him to go. Sanskar silently went inside by grabbing the pack before she burst out on him. Swara chuckled by seeing his expression and then she went to get ready. Sanskar came out after getting in ready in white shirt and blue jeans looking dashing as always. He was looking different in this casuals like other day because he always wore suits only. But today Swara wanted to see him in different look so she purchased this casuals for him. Sanskar looked himself in mirror and smiled by remembering Swara's crazy idea and also it made him remember about college days. Swara came out after getting ready in wine red colour with white flower single strips floral frock till her knees with free hairs looking beautiful yet simple. Sanskar's heart skipped it's beat by seeing her. He was seeing her after many years wearing modern yet traditional dress. Sanskar kept staring at her being lost in her. Swara came near him and waved her hand by seeing him being lost. Sanskar was brought into sense and looked at Swara who was giving him 'where are you look'

"You know you are doing injustice with me?" Sanskar said to her in complaining tone making her looked at him with confused yet not understanding.

"Injustice? What I did now?" Swara asked him being confused.

"I am in romantic mood at now but you are taking me out at this hour. Don't you feel it injustice with me?" Sanskar said while pulling her towards him through waist and making her look at him with jerk. Swara widen her eyes because door was kept open.

"Sanskar, door is open" Swara said in whispering tone with wide eyes and tried to come out of his embrace.

"Let them see, we are not doing anything different. We are doing what all do in bedroom" Sanskar said with naughty smile.

"You shameless, there are small kids in the home" Swara said smacking his chest and came out from his embrace and grabbed her mobile immediately.

"Let's go" Swara said while dragging him out and Sanskar frowned by seeing it but went with her.

"Swara, kids?" Sanskar asked her because they don't sleep without them.

"I told them already and they slept with Mom and Dad like good kids not like her father who is naughty and stubborn" Swara said while wearing jeans jacket and making Sanskar more confuse that what was she planing at this hour.

Both came out after informing Sujata. Sanskar was going towards his car but stopped by Swara and Sanskar looked at her confusingly.

Swara moved towards another car which has open roof and sat in driving seat making Sanskar surprise as well as wondering what was his wife upto today. Swara asked him to sit and Sanskar sat in passenger seat.

"Swara, where we are going?" Sanskar asked her again not able hold his curiosity. Sanskar looked back and found his security cars.

"Don't worry, they will be with us. I don't want to take risk like last time by going alone" Swara said without realising but Sanskar's face colour changed by listening her and looked away by averting her gaze and then only Swara realised what she told.

"Sanskar look at me" Swara said and turned his face towards her by one hand.

"Sanskar I am sorry. I didn't realise what I was telling. It's not yours or anyone's fault. I told you already that forget about that. I know it will take time but..." Swara was going to say further but Sanskar held her hand.

"I forgot it already but some situation make us remember our sufferings" Sanskar said with sad smile by holding her left hand in his palms.

"I am sorry" Swara said apologetically for making him remember about past.

"Don't be sorry. I don't want to ryin our day so let's go" Sanskar said with smile while placing soft kiss on her knuckles. Swara smiled in return and started the car. Both were feeling cold breeze along the night empty road which was hitting their face making them feel relax and get peace. Both were enjoying the night ride while talking about random things.

After 30 minutes of drive Swara took another route which seemed lonely place without people.

"Swara, where are we going?" Sanskar asked her by looking around as it was surrounded by darkness as there was no street lights and lamps.

"Mark, You can stop at first gate" pSwara said and cut the call making Sanskar look at her.

Both security cars stopped at first gate only and Swara's car started to move in narrow pathway. Sanskar looked around find anything but found nothing as it was surrounded by green trees on both side of pathway.

Swara stopped the car and turned towards Sanskar who was trying to identify the place in his mobile.

"No need to search in GPS. You will get to know in some minutes, come" Swara said with chuckle and opened her side door. Sanskar also got down from the car while signing. Swara came beside him and held his hand by entwining. Sanskar looked at her with smile and gripped it tightly.

"Come" Swara said and both started to move. Suddenly lights switched on both sides of the pathway when they took first step together. Sanskar got surprised and looked at Swara with amusement. She smiled and eyed to him move further.
Lights got switched on along the pathway as how they started to move further. Whole pathway was decorated by small light chains making it look beautiful. Sanskar was looking at Swara who was smiling and her face was glowing more in light. Sanskar couldn't asked God for nothing than her smile. Soon they reached the the place and stopped.

"Here is your surprise" Swara said while smiling and Sanskar looked at her and then looked around to find his surprise.

Swara counted three and lights switched on. It was farmhouse which was beautifully decorated by lights.

"Let's go inside" Swara said and held his hand and both moved inside.

"Whose farmhouse is this?" Sanskar asked her by looking around as it has beautiful interior as well as exterior.

"This is Papa's farmhouse" Swara said with smile.
Swara took him upper floor and opened the room door to find, it was a big hall with all furniture like family gathering hall. Swara put her jacket on coach and lead him to balcony and opened the balcony door. Sanskar looked at Swara with wide eyes by seeing the beautiful decoration. It was decorated by colourful lights and lamps and flowers making it look beautiful and elegant. There was a table in the middle and two chairs around the table. Sanskar was smiling by seeing his wife's effort to make him happy.

"I know it's not big surprise what you have given me today but one thing I know that it will make you happy" Swara said turning towards him with smile.

"You don't need to do anything special to make me happy. I am happiest person when you are with me. There is nothing which gives me happiness other than your this smile" Sanskar said cupping her face while looking into her eyes and Swara smiled by listening him.

"Come" Swara took him towards table and there was a small box which was covered with lid. Swara opened it and there was a small cake.

"Happy Birthday my love" It was written on it.

Swara gave him knife to cut it. Sanskar held her hand with him and both cut the cake together and then fed them each other.

"When did you arrange all this?" Sanskar asked her while looking around.

"When we went to Papa's home last week" Swara said with smile and Sanskar also smiled in pleasure.

"May I have the pleasure to dance with my King?" Swara asked while extending her right hand towards him with lovingly. Sanskar smiled and gave his hand and pulled her towards him as a result Swara landed on his chest.

Swara put her both hands on his chest and Sanskar held her through waist. Pleasant music was playing in the background. Both were dancing romantically. Sanskar was gazing into her eyes with love, passion, care, affection, desire. Swara also looking into his eyes with immense love in her eyes for him. Both were deeply engrossed in each other. Sanskar pulled her more and their face was inch apart and he leaned towards her trembling lips which was inviting him to claim. Swara who sensed him also closed her eyes in anticipation. Sanskar without second placed his rough lips on her soft lips. He started to kiss her slowly yet sensuously. His one hand moved towards her neck and one hand was holding her through waist. Swara clutched his shoulder tightly for support and also responding him back. Slow kiss turned into passionate kiss as both were pouring their love, desire, longingness everything in that kiss. Sanskar deepened the kiss as Swara also. Swara was loosing herself in his embrace and felt weak in her legs. She clutched his shoulder tightly so that she couldn't fall and Sanskar held her firmly by sending her. Both broke the kiss the after sometime and joined their forehead while panting heavily to catch the breath. Both looked at each other with smile and Sanskar pulled her more close and placed soft kiss on her forehead. Swara closed her eyes in bliss. Sanskar cupped her face and kissed her closed eyes making Swara to open her eyes and then looked at him. Sanskar then kissed her nose tip making Swara blush and then Swara turned herself facing her back to him not able to look into his eyes in shy. Sanskar chuckled by seeing her blushing face. Sanskar back hugged her and removed her hairs at one side and thrn placed a soft kiss on her open shoulder. Swara's breath hitched in her lungs by feeling his lips on her soft skin as shiver ran through her spine. She clutched her dress in her hands to control arising sensation in her body and shivered under his touch. Sanskar then placed soft kiss on her neck and a soft moan escaped from her mouth by feeling his sweet torture. Swara clutched his hands which was on her belly. Sanskar made her turn towards him and Swara was looking down with red cheeks. Sanskar made her look at him and both were having beautiful eyelock. Sanskar cupped her face while looking at her with soft, love, passion, desire filled eyes.

"May I have have the pleasure to make you mine?" Sanskar asked her with hopeful eyes.

"You don't need to ask Sanskar. I am always yours only" Swara said with smile while wrapping her hands around his neck. Sanskar picked her in his arms and moved inside without breaking the eyelock. He placed her on bed and came above her not putting weight on her. He looked at her who was looking at him only with desirous look. Sanskar started to place lingering kisses all over her face and then he came down, he kissed her jawline making her clutch bedsheet tightly by feeling sensation in her body. Sanskar felt her shiver and entwined their palm with hers and started to kiss on her neck then her cleavage. Sanskar switched off the bed lamp and then they both got busy in their work making it a beautiful memory of their union.

March 6 2028
Raichand Farmhouse
At morning

Swara woke up by feeling disturbed due to sun rays which was falling on her face through glass wall. Swara tried to hide but felt hand on her waist and lifted her head above to see Sanskar who was holding her firmly through waist then she looked at down as their naked body which were touching each other made her blush by remembering yesterday beautiful night. She looked above to see Sanskar who was sleeping peacefully. Swara extended her hand towards bed side table and took remote to cover the blinder so that his sleep couldn't get disturb. She then looked at his silky hairs which were falling on his forehead making him look hot. Then her gaze went towards his sharp nose then his pink lips which were made her gulp saliva. She pecked his lips not able to control her urge to kiss him. Then she caressed his forehead lovingly and placed soft kiss there. She kept staring at him for some time and was going to get up but pulled by a pair of hands and she landed on his chest with jerk.

"This is not fair Mrs. Maheswari, taking advantage of your sleeping husband" Sanskar said mischievously while removing her hairs from her face and looked at her who was seeing him with wide eyes and shocked face, soon it changed into naughty smile.

"Ha tho, I have a legal right, you know" Swara said while twitching her nose while making cute face.

"You know I couldn't able to resist when you make this cute pout" Sanskar said pecking her lips. Swara hit his chest and tried to get up but Sanskar again pulled her.

"Give me my morning dose then I will leave you" Sanskar said while tracing his finger on her face sensuously making Swara breath heavily.

"Sanskar kids must be waiting, let's go home" Swara said looking at time.

"They won't remember us if they are with their Dadu and Dadi. They are good kids so they will understand that their parents also need some privacy. Now just give your attention to your poor husband who was earning for you" Sanskar said and leaned towards her lips. Before Swara could protest Sanskar claimed her lips and they got busy in their work. After two hours they got up and got ready to go to home.

They reached home at 11 am and entered inside to see kids were playing in living hall and ladies were busy in kitchen work as all men left to their office already.

"You both has come" Sujata asked them while coming towards them.

"Papa" Both Sanu and Saras came toward them while running.

Sanskar picked them up in his arms.

"Sanskar, are you going to office?" Sujata asked him.

"Yes Mom" Sanskar said while turning towards them and Swara looked at her confusingly because why she was asking him today out of nowhere.

"Then come home early at evening as your bade Papa wanted to talk with everyone about an important matter" Sujata said

"Important matter?" Sanskar asked her confusingly.

"Yes, you will get to know in the evening" Sujata said with smile and went inside leaving behind confused Swara and Sanskar. Both went to their room while thinking about that important matter. Sanskar went to office after that and Swara got busy with other ladies by helping them in house hold work.

It was evening time, all men came early from office as they were told and having tea and coffee at dining table. All were present their except kids.

"Sanskar" DP called him while placing his coffee cup on table and turned towards him.

"Yes Bade Papa" Sanskar said while lifting his head.

"We wanted to talk with you about Uttara's marriage as alliance came for Uttara from our business partner Aravind Ghosh's son Manav Ghosh so I and Ram wanted to discuss with you all first that's why we called everyone" DP said while looking at Sanskar.

"What is there to ask me Bade Papa? If Uttara is ready for this marriage then we don't have any problem. We just want her happiness nothing else. If she is happy with this marriage then we will also be happy" Sanskar said with smile while eyeing Swara who blinked her eyes with smile.

"Uttara" DP turned towards her who was looking down and fidgetting her fingers in nervousness. Uttara lifted her head by listening DP voice.

"Uttara, before we agree, we want to know that do you like or love anyone anyone? Tell us beta we will talk with him" DP asked making everyone shocked yet surprised because they never thought that he would ask this question but they were happy.

"What? Why everyone looking at me like that? I am not a father like who becomes Hitler in their children's love story" DP said while eyeing everyone. Everyone looked at each other by listening him and pressed their lips not to laugh.

"Nothing like that Bade Papa, it's just that we were surprised because you never talk about all these things so" Sanskar said with small grin and all chuckled by listening him. Uttara looked at all who were looking at her only with expecting eyes to know her answer and then looked at DP.

"No Bade Papa. I don't love anyone even I didn't have any time for that. I will marry whom you everyone choose" Uttara lied by looking at DP because she didn't want to make them upset but still her heart was not agreeing wigh her. She was in deep thoughts thinking about someone.

"But yesterday someone came to us and told that he loves you" DP said with serious tone making Uttara shocked and all surprised. Uttara looked at him with still eyes as her heart raced with fast beat.

"Who?" Uttara asked with low tone in shock because as she per she doesn't know anyone like that who proposed their love to her or marry her. DP looked at all who were looking at him for to say the boy name. But one name was ringing in Uttara's mind though she doesn't love him still she wished that boy would be him only.

"Karan Malhotra. He came to us yesterday and told us about his wish to marry you. Even Yash and Radha also told that they wanted you as their daughter in law. We all know about them and even Karan also" DP said with soft tone while looking at Uttara. Uttara was numb not able to believe herself what she heard at just now. She bent her head shyness by listening about Karan. She was thinking about him only since she heard about marriage.

"You don't have any pressure Uttara as you are free to choose. If it's ok from you then we are happy, if it's not ok then also we are happy. We left decision on you and you can take how much time as you want. Think wisely and tell us your decision" RP said to her with smile while giving sign of approval for her both decision of yes or no as a responsible and loving father.

Uttara nodded her head in yes that she would think and tell her decision.

"Yes one more thing, we are keeping Holi function on day after tomorrow. Adarsh, Sanskar and Laksha look after the arrangements for everything and invite guest" DP said and all nodded their head in yes. DP and RP left towards their study room.

"Uttara, Karan is very good and he will keep you happy.  Like your bade Papa told, the decision is upto you. " Sujata said while caressing her hairs lovingly and Uttara smiled by listening her.

"Ok Mom, I will tell my decision tomorrow" Uttara said with light smile.

At night

Swara made Sanu and Saras sleep who were tired by playing slept early. Swara was waiting for Sanskar as he was in study. Swara heard knock on door and got confused by thinking who must be at door at this hour because if it was Sanskar then he won't knock. She looked at time as it was showing 11 pm. She went and opened the door to see Uttara was standing with nervous smile.

"Uttara" Swara said while looking at her with surprised eyes.

"Bhabhi Woh Bhai...." Uttara asked about Sanskar with nervous tone.

"First come inside" Swara said letting her inside. Uttara entered inside and looked for Sanskar.

"He is in study" Swara said and looked at Uttara who was fidgeting her fingers in nervousness.

"Do you want to say something?" Swara asked her by observing her nervousness.

"Woh Bhabhi, I want to talk with Bhai so came here" Uttara said while giving nervous smile.

"You can wait here or if you have any urgent then you can go to his study" Swara told her.

"No Bhabhi, I will wait here as I want to talk with you both" Uttara said and Swara looked at her with confused face but didn't ask and then asked her to sit till Sanskar comes. At the same time Sanskar entered inside and turned to look at both who were standing. Both looked at Sanskar who was looking at them with raised eyebrow.

"I think Bhabhi and Nanand planning something against me right?" Sanskar joked about them.

"Sanskar" Swara glared at him by eyeing Saras and Sanu. Sanskar said sorry while mouthing as he didn't realise that both were sleeping so he said in loud voice.

"Sanskar, Uttara want to talk with us" Swara said in low tone. Sanskar looked at Uttara who was looking at him with nervousness which was written all over her face. He nodded his head and closed the door and then trio went to balcony. Sanskar came after closing balcony door and came near them.

"Say Uttu, what you want to say?" Sanskar said while looking at her.

"Bhai, about marriage, I wanted to know your decision so came to ask you" Uttara said with nervous tone while fidgeting her fingers still. Sanskar looked at Swara who blinked her eyes.

Sanskar came near Uttara and wrapped his arms around her shoulder with affectionate and then made her sit on chair. He also settled down on chair himself which was infront of her then held her palms in his and looked at her with smile.

"Why are you feeling nervous to talk with me?" Sanskar asked her with smile.

"Nothing like that Bhai, it's just...." Uttara replied immediately but kept silent what to say further.

"Uttara, first tell me, are you ready for marriage or not? Because if you are not ready then we won't ask anything from you because your happiness mattes to us more than anything" Sanskar asked her softly while pressing her hand in assurance.

"Bhai, I am ready for marriage but bit nervous" Uttara said. Swara and Sanskar smiled by listening her.

"It happens before marriage Uttara. After marriage everything will be fine" Swara said while sitting beside her on another chair and caressed her hairs with smile.

"About Karan, we all know about him very well that how much he loves family, and everyone. I know he loves you from long time and I saw love for you in his eyes whenever you are around him but he is little bit shy in all these things that's why he didn't dare to propose you in the fear of rejection. I am sure he will keep you happy. I am not saying this because he is my best friend or family member but genuinely he is best man anyone could get. I won't pressurise you for anything. You are mature enough to take decision yourself but take it from heart and it will always give right answer" Sanskar said with assured smile.

"You already knew about him thst he loves Uttara?" Swara asked him while whispering near his ear.

"Yes! I knew it from beginning but kept silent because I thought he will confess himself to Uttara but I didn't knew he will directly ask Papa. Idiot! he spoiled my plan as I wanted to play my brother role in his love story and enjoy but he did oppoiste" Sanskar said with annoy. Swara laughed out by listening him but kept quiet by seeing Sanskar's glare.

"I don't know what will he do by the time of Sanu's marriage?" Swara thought in her mind by shaking her head with chuckle.

"I know Bhai, you all will choose best person for me. I don't have any doubt in that but I wanted to ask your opinion. I know Karan from childhood as a friend. I don't know about him as a life partner but one thing sure that he is best person anyone could get and also I know he will keep me happy" Uttara said with smile making Sanskar overwhelmed.

"Our happiness lies in your happiness Uttu. If you are happy with this marriage then we will be happy. I am sure he will keep you happy otherwise he should face who is this Sanskar Maheswari not his best friend only Sanskar" Sanskar said with attitude making both chuckle

"Sanskar you..." Swara glared at him while smacking his shoulder.

"What? I said truth only" Sanskar said with attitude look.

"Thank you Bhai. Yes from my side" Uttara said and hugged Sanskar while hiding her face in his chest by feeling shyness.
Sanskar hugged her back while laughing and started to caress her hairs. Swara smiled by seeing them. Sanskar broke the hug and held her through shoulder.

"Uttara, if you want you can talk with Karan. No need to hurry" Sanskar said softly with concern.

"No need Bhai, I like him but love I don't know but I have some feeling about him and I feel secure with his presence" Uttara said with bent head as her cheeks became red in shyness by remembering Karan. Swara and Sanskar looked at each other with smile.

"I am happy for you both" Sanskar said while caressing her hair lovingly.

"Ok Bhai, Bhabhi good night" Uttara said after breaking the hug and left to her room.

"I didn't knew that my husband can do observing others other than his office work" Swara said with naughty smile.

"Means? I don't know anything except office work?" Sanskar asked her with raised eyes while looking at Swara.

"When I said like that? I said my husband is very smart and he can do anything" Swara said with tight smile while wrapping her hands around his neck.

"That is the power of your husband madam" Sanskar said with proud smile and both burst into laughter.

At morning

It was a Holi day all got ready in white dress and children were jumping in happiness and excitement to play Holi. Sara and Sanu were very excited to play Holi because it's their first Holi.

Sanskar got ready with white kurta and payzam. He was setting his hairs and Swara entered inside with Aarati taal. She came near him by seeing him and stood infront of making him look at her. Swara put tika on his forehead and fed him sweet. Sanskar took Sindhoor and applied on hairline making Swara smiled. Swara was going but Sanskar held her hand and pulled her little.

"Where are you going mam?" Sanskar asked her with mischievous smile as she was looking beautiful in white with pink border saree. Swara looked at him with confused face.

Sanskar pulled her and held her through waist by his left hand. Swara lifted her hand little as she was holding Aarti plate so that it couldn't hurt him.

"Sanskar, what are you doing?" Swara asked him while looking back at the door.

"Madam today is Holi so how can I leave you without applying colours" Sanskar said while taking colour in his hand which was kept in the plate on table. Swara looked at him and both were looking at each other. Sanskar took colour and applied to her one cheek and then another cheek. Swara was just gazing at him with immense love for him. Swara lifted her body little by standing on her toes and held his shoulder tightly for support. Sanskar was just looking at her only that what she was going to do. She brought her face near his face and slowly rubbed her cheek to his cheek making Sanskar shock yet surprised. He smiled by seeing his wife's bold act. Swara rubbed her another cheek with his another cheek as applying colours to him.

"Happy Holi" She whispered in his ear with naughty smile. Sanskar was gazing at her lovingly being lost in her and he leaned towards her and was going to kiss her but before that Saras and Sanu entered inside while calling them. Swara pulled herself from his embrace and stood while composing herself.

"Mumma, Papa" Both came near them while running. Sanskar smiled at them and made them stand on couch by lifting them so that they could reach his height.

Saras applied colour to Sanskar and Sanu to Swara then Sanu to Sanskar and Saras to Swara respectively.

"Happy Holi Papa and Mumma" Both wished them.
Sanskar and Swara also applied colours to them and hugged them wishing back. After that all family did breakfast and went to garden to play Holi where arrangements were made. Guest started to arrive slowly and Malhotra's also joined them.

They were sitting in the living hall of Maheswari's.

"Yash, we are ready to give our daughter hand to Karan" DP said making Yash and Radha happy. Karan was on cloud nine by listening them, he was feeling very happy and then he looked at Uttara who was standing while bending her head down.

"Karan beta" DP called him and Karan moved towards him and then bend to take blessings from him but DP hugged him instead.

"We know you since childhood and there is nothing to ask about you. We all know that you will keep her happy still we will request you that please keep her happy and if she did any mistake then please forgive her" RP said to him.

"Uncle, you don't need to request for anything. I know it's my responsibility to keep her happy. And about mistake, there is no way that she will make mistake because she is mature than me in everything. This much I know about her. I love her uncle and I will keep her happy" Karan said while eyeing Uttara.

"If not then I will be killed by her brother surely" Karan said while eyeing Sanskar who raised his eyes at him and all chuckled by listening him.

"Uttara beta come here" RP called her. Uttara looked at her father and came near with slow step and stood infront of him.

RP took her hands and Karan's. Then placed Uttara's hand on his hands.

"We are giving our precious thing in your hand and it's your responsibility to protect it and keep it safe" RP said while looking at Karan.

"I will protect her always and keep he safe" Karan said with assuring smile.

"Ok we will call Pandit ji tomorrow and talk about their engagement and marriage date" DP said to all and all agreed to them. All celebrated Holi with double happiness.

At night

Sanskar was standing in balcony while gazing at full moon and kids were sleeping. Swara entered room with water jug after winding up all kitchen works and looked for Sanskar but didn't find him in room then she saw balcony door which was kept opened. She kept water jug on table and moved towards balcony. She came to balcony and saw Sanskar who was standing while facing back to her. She stood behind him and placed her hand on his shoulder. Sanskar who felt Swara's presence pulled her by holding her hand which was on his shoulder. He hugged her wrapping his left hand around her shoulder by sideway.

"What are you thinking by standing here alone?" Swara asked him while gazing at moon. Sanskar looked at her and even Swara also turned towards him.

"Our journey" Sanskar said with smile and Swara looked at him.

"I never thought that we were connected by fate. I even hadn't slightest idea that we had such love story in past life and will become one in this life. But unknowingly destiny brought us together and made us soulmate then again made us apart. Tough still we are together by overcoming everything. I was just remembering our days still I couldn't believe that you are with me and beside me after these years suffering without each other. I am just praying God that don't separate us anymore if any hardship comes" Sanskar said with far away look.

"I am always with you Sanskar. If you are not with me then I won't be here Sanskar. We are two body one soul. We are connected by soul that's why we are standing here today together. No one can separate us even death also" Swara said with smile and suddenly she felt hand on her mouth and then looked above to see Sanskar who kept his hand while looking at her intensively or say glint of anger.

"Don't talk about death again. Just remember that this Sanskar won't exist without his Swara. My life resides in you Swara" Sanskar said while looking at her intensively.

"There is no Swara without Sanskar. How many births we take, this Swara will be yours only. Our love will never end in this live only. It will bring us together in every birth also. I am proud of our love Sanskar that they brought us together this birth also" Swara said with smile while holding his hand in her palms.

"I love you" Swara said with smile.

"I love you too" Sanskar said with smile and pulled her by capturing her lips into passionate kiss.

"Thank you so much for everyone" Saras said with light smile and came down where his family was sitting.

At night

Saras was standing in his parents room and infront of their big photo with being lost in some past memory.

Flashback

Swara was lying on hospital bed and Sanskar was sitting beside her with being lost. He was holding Swara hand in his hands while embracing in his embrace.

"Saras, Sanu" Swara called him while extending her hands by seeing them. They came near her and held her hand in their hands as they were on the urge of cry but controlling not to cry infront of her. She looked for someone as her eyes were searching. Sanskar removed his hand and moved little by giving them space.

"Where is Swayam?" Swara asked Saras while looking behind him. Saras and Sanu also looked back to find but they couldn't find him. Family members were also present there. She was in last stage of brain tumor. They could have saved her but found out in later stage so doctor told that it's impossible to save her as tumor already spread everywhere.

A guy around 25 entered inside with slow step and Swara smiled by seeing him. She extended her hand towards him by seeing him. He couldn't able hold himself and ran towards her with tears in his eyes and hugged her tightly while sobbing in her embrace. Swara started to rub his back to make him calm.

"Swayam, why are you crying? I am not going anywhere that you are crying like a cry baby. My baby is strong and brave that he can manage everyone and don't cry like this" Swara said while cupping his face who was sobbing little. Swayam looked at her with still crying eyes.

"Saras, please take care of your papa and Brother" Swara said with low tone while smiling.

"Mom, don't talk like that, you are not going anywhere and you will only take care of us" Swayam said like a child while crying.

"I am not going anywhere leaving you all, it's just I am weak so can't able to look after you that's why I am telling him" Swara said while caressing his cheek lovingly. She signed him to bend little and kissed his forehead lovingly then Saras and Sanu.

All left the room after sometime by giving them privacy and Swara and Sanskar only left inside the room. Swara looked at Sanskar who was looking at her only with unsaid tears and words.

"Why are you not talking anything?" Swara asked him who was sitting beside her holding her in his embrace.

"You came to know before I say anything then what should I say now?" Sanskar said while giving her fake smile but he only knew what was going inside by seeing his love on death bed. He was thinking that could he able to live without her or live like normal person infront family? Could he be able handle everything without her?

"You know I am not scared for death but scared for leaving you behind. I wanted to live with you some more time but God didn't like us being together so he is calling me early but I want you to live for me and our children. They loves you more than me and you became their strength Sanskar. I know they will be broken after I left but please handle them. I know my Sanskar is stronger than anyone and he can han..dle... every..one" Swara was saying but suddenly she started to breath heavily and felt difficult to breath. Sanskar who was in tears by listening her words got panic by seeing her.

"Doctor.. doctor" He shouted by seeing her health deteriorating.

"San..skaarrr" Swara held his hand and nodded in no.

"Please take care of yourself and I.. lo......ve ...you" Sanskar heard beep sound and looked at Swara who was staring at him with smile on her face. Her hand slipped from his hand making him shock and Sanskar felt numb by seeing her. He kept looking at her who was in his embrace sleeping peacefully. After a minute Saras, Swayam entered with doctor and behind family. Doctor looked at Swara and then machine which were connected to her.

"Sorry Mr. Maheswari, She is no more" Doctor announced making all stunned. Saras and Swayam moved towards her with shaking legs and Saras stood beside Swara with blank face by staring at his mother and Swayam came near Sanskar, he couldn't believe that his mother left them. Sanu also entered while panting heavily as she came running and got shocked by seeing her mother. Swayam touched his father shoulder with trembling hands as tears were sliding from his eyes but he didn't found any movement in Sanskar.

"Papa" He called him with choked voice and he shook him little but he stunned by seeing Sanskar as his hand fell down lifelessly which was holding Swara.

"Papaaaa" Swayam shouted loudly while crying and even all looked at him with numb expression.

Flashback ends

Saras came out from his chain of thoughts and looked at their parents photo with teary eyes.

"Happy Birthday Maa, Papa and I miss you both so much" Saras said and a lone tear escaped from his eyes. A hand placed on his shoulder and Saras quickly wiped it but that person has seen already.

"Why are you hiding your tears Saras infront of me?" A woman around 32 years old said. Saras turned towards her with smile.

"It's nothing like that Kriti. It's just that I am missing them because today I am remembering them so much. Their last moment still fresh in my memory where they took their last breath in hospital bed. Along with Maa, Papa also left us making us alone. It's been three years they left this world and us. Even death also couldn't able to separate them being together. Their love never faded an inch untill they died even after death also their love became inspiration to us" Saras said with smile but tears in his eyes. Kriti pressed his hand inorder to sooth his pain by little as she knew she couldn't replace the loss completely by her words.

"Bhai" Riyaan came while calling him. Saras composed himself and turned towards him.

"Bhai, Bhabhi all are waiting downstairs" Riyaan said while looking both.

"Ok you go, I am coming" Saras said and Riyaan went down after nodding his head.

"You go, I will come after washing my face" Saras said to his wife Kriti and went to his room to get ready.
After sometime Saras came down where marriage was taking place. Yes it's marriage of Swayam Maheswari with his lady love Nyra Agerwal.
Saras came and stood in-between Sanu and Kriti. Kriti was standing with holding small boy in her hand. It was Saras and Kriti's two and half year son Sanskrit.

Swayam looked at Saras and Sanu who was smiling at him. Marriage got completed and they took everyone blessings. At last Swayam came towards his parents photo which was hanged in hall.

"Mom, Dad, see I am entering new phase of my life. Please bless us" Swayam said while looking at their smiling face and then turned towards Nyra who smiled at him by holding his hand and blinked her eyes in assurance.

Saras and Sanu came towards him and stood beside him while looking at Swasan photo.

"We love you so much and miss you too" Trio whispered which audible to each other only. Saras and Sanu hugged him sideways and smiled at him who in return gave small smile.

The loss
is immeasurable,
but so is the love
left behind.

THE END

Love ❤️

Prakruti ❤️
