Radhe Krishna
Let's start.....
Bose Mansion
Swara and Naira entered inside their mansion after coming from Maheswari Mansion.
"Baby, you will get fresh up, till then lunch will be ready" Swara said while removing her school bag.
"Sarala, arrange lunch on table" Swara said loudly standing in living hall to who was in kitchen.
"Let's go" Swara said with smile and both went to their room. After getting fresh up Swara and Naira was sitting around dining table. Swara served in plate and brought a morsel to feed Naira but she didn't open her mouth.
"Baby, aren't you hungry?" Swara asked her with soft tone by seeing her not opening her mouth.
"I had food in Aru's home" Naira said making Swara surprised.
"You had?" Swara asked her surprisingly.
"Yes, Aru's Choti Dadi fed me" Naira said with smiling brightly.
"Mumma, Aru's chachu is so nice and even all are so nice in their family. He brought us ice cream and Aru's Bua became my new friend" Naira was saying being excited which made Swara smile.
"So Naira baby had lunch already then what shall we do now?" Swara asked her while making her sit on table.
Naira looked at Swara who was sitting infront of her and looked beside food plate. She took food plate in her hand making Swara confuse. Swara was just observing her actions. Naira took morsel and extended her hand to feed Swara making her smile. Swara ate it making Naira smile.
"I know you didn't had lunch" Naira said and started to feed her making Swara overwhelm.
After lunch Swara brought her to room to make her sleep to get afternoon nap.
Naira was lying while keeping her head on Swara's lap who was half lying on bed and caressing Naira's hairs to make her get sleep.
"Mumma" Naira called Swara while tilting her head little. Swara looked down at Naira while coming out of her thoughts.
"Yes baby" Swara replied with smile by seeing her.
"Are you missing Papa?" Naira asked Swara out of blue making Swara confused. Swara thought how she got to know but smiled at her. She made Naira sit on her lap and started to caress her hairs slowly.
"No baby, why would I miss your Papa? He isn't too far to miss him, he is always with me and with you" Swara said with small smile and looked at Naira who lifted her head to look at Swara.
"Mumma, tell me about Papa?" Naira demanded her.
"About your Papa? Do you want to hear?" Swara asked her and
Naira shook her head with smile.
"One day is not enough to tell about your Papa. He is very kind, soft hearted, loving, caring, best friend, best husband and most importantly best life partner anyone could get" Swara drawn into her memory lane.
Flashback
"Swara.....Swara...." Vihaan was calling her name loudly while standing infront of mirror in their bed room.
"Ha Vihaan, I am coming" Swara shouted from kitchen and she hurriedly walked towards their bedroom with fast step.
"Ha Vihaan, I am here only, why are you shouting?" Swara asked him while entering inside.
"Where I am shouting? I am just calling my wife" Vihaan said making innocent face.
"You are shouting like some thief has entered in our house" Swara said while glaring at him.
"Now tell me why are you shouting like that?" Swara asked him while keeping her both hands on her waist while giving him look.
Vihaan showed neck tie infront of her while giving sheepish smile. Swara couldn't help but smile.
"You are such a kid Vihaan, even small kids know how to make the knot" Swara said while taking tie from his hand and stood infront of him to tie around his neck. She placed it around his neck and tying it. Vihaan pulled her by waist making Swara jerk.
"Vihaan" Swara glared at him making Vihaan look at her.
"Don't give me that look, you know I can't resist your charm when you are this much close to me and also I hardly gets a time to romance with you so don't spoil my mood now" Vihaan said while moving his face closure to her.
"Vihaan, you are getting late for office and I need to prepare your breakfast still" Swara said while placing her hand on his chest to stop him.
"I am having my breakfast, you are only disturbing only" Vihaan said with husky tone making Swara shiver in his arms but Swara was controlling herself as she knew it's not time for romance.
"Vihaan, you said you have an important foreign delicate meeting otherwise your boss will kill you" Swara said reminding Vihaan about his meeting for which he was preparing presentation at late night. Vihaan stopped and looked at her shockkngly.
"Shit!" Vihaan said and moved back to pack his stuffs but come back again and kissed her cheeks making Swara chuckle.
"Pack my lunch quickly, I will be there in two minutes" Vihaan said while stuffing his things in bag hurriedly.
Swara went out while shaking her head by seeing him. Sanskar was sitting at dining table and swallowing food in hurry.
"Vihaan eat slowly, your office won't go anywhere" Swara said by looking at him.
"Vihaan, can you ask your boss two days leave on next week?" Swara asked him. Vihaan looked at her confusingly.
"Leave? Did you plan to go somewhere?" Vihaan asked her while checking his mobile.
"God! What should I tell him?" Swara mumbled herself.
"Did you say something?" Vihaan asked her while looking up.
"No actually, my friends are coming home from Delhi so they wanted to meet you" Swara said with tight smile.
"College?" Vihaan asked her with scrunched eyebrow.
"I mean my UG college not from Bangalore" Swara gave clarification.
"Ok I will apply for leave" Vihaan said getting from his seat. He hanged his bag on shoulder and came near Swara.
"Take care, call me after your college. I will come to pick you up" Vihaan said and kissed her forehead lovingly.
"Ok, take care and have lunch on time" Swara said with smile.
"Ok, bye" Vihaan bid bye to Swara and went to his office. Swara also got ready for her college as she was in last year of Fashion Designing Degree. She wanted to become Fashion Designer so Vihaan supported her to pursue her study after marriage also.
Flashback ends
She came out of her memory when she heard her mobile was ringing. She quickly received by seeing Naira sleeping as it was from Ragini.

"Sir, I have sent agenda to all company and Sengupta company is taking responsibility of the event venue and rest of the things as they sent mail about the event venue" Ruhi informed him.
"Did you posted about event conducting date and time in company website?" Sanskar asked her.
"Yes" Ruhi said.
"How many register did we get till now?" Sanskar asked her while looking up from his file.
"Around 100 within two hours" Ruhi said.
"When it will reach 300, you can close registration immediately" Sanskar told her.
"Ok" Ruhi said
"Anything else Sanskar?" Ruhi asked him.
"No, just do it and bring register hard copy list later" Sanskar told her at last.
"Ok sir" Ruhi said and went out.
At evening
Maheswari Mansion
All were sitting around dining table having evening snacks and tea. Today Sanskar also joined them which made all surprised as well as happy.
"Jiji, Naira's mother is such young and beautiful. No one could able to tell that she is a mother of five year old girl" Sujata said to Annapurna who was sipping her evening tea and male were busy in their business talks.
"Yes Chachi ji, even I thought she must be her sister but Naira calling her as Mom made me surprise" Parineeta said while joining their conversation.
"Yes Mom, she is very beautiful and kind also. I want my babhi like this, beautiful, caring, loving, understanding...." Uttara said making all chuckle but Sujata looked at Sanskar who was talking with Adarsh even Annapurna also looked at her who was gazing at her son with upset look. Annapurna placed her hand on Sujata's shoulder and pressed it to comfort her.
"Don't worry, soon he will get one who will fill his life with colours" Annapurna said comforting words to Sujata with smile in return Sujata also gave smile but Annapurna knew it as it was not genuine.
At midnight
Sanskar's room
Sanskar was murmuring something in his sleep and sweating badly like he was dreaming something horrible.
"Noooo" Sanskar woke up while shouting and sweat beads were dripping from his forehead. He looked around to find no one and immediately switched on side table lamp. He got down from the bed and poured water in glass and gulped in one go while trying to calm himself. Then only he heard knock on door and got to know that it must be Laksha as their rooms were beside each other.
He opened the door quickly because he knew that if he got another second then Laksha will wake up whole house by his banging on door.
Sanskar opened his door and found worried Laksha at door. Laksha looked at Sanskar's face and got to know that he had another nightmare.
Laksha entered inside when Sanskar moved side to let him enter and closed door behind.
"Another nightmare?" Laksha asked him while moving towards sofa.
"Hmm"Sanskar just hummed.
"It's been 5 years Bhai you are having nightmare like this. I will take appointment with Dr. Mathur for tomorrow. You are going there with me, that's it" Laksha said his final decision.
"No Lucky, there is no use of going there" Sanskar said refusing.
"Why? Is it feel good like this to wake up at midnight? I didn't tell anyone about this except Arav Bhai but if all in family comes to know one day then what will you answer to them?" Laksha questioned him with raised eyebrow.
"I don't know, I can't forget that horrible accident Lucky and I just can't. I couldn't able to do anything to save him on that time and moreover I couldn't able to see his face for the last time. Still that guilt was hunting me. I don't know where his family is?, I tried to search but couldn't find her. At least by finding her, I want to lessen my guilt but no! By having all this power and everything, I couldn't able to find his only family. I feel helpless Lucky and above that I couldn't gather my emotions when I thought about him" Sanskar said and palmed his face in both hands by feeling helpless.
"Don't worry Bhai, one day you will find her. I know my brother who will do anything for his loved ones" Laksha said sitting beside him and held his shoulder to give comfort.
Sanskar looked at him while tilting his head little.
"I am loosing that hope day by day Lucky that I will find her one day. I searched her with my ability all over India still I couldn't get to know where she is?" Sanskar said while resting his head on sofa back being exhausted.
"Don't blame yourself Bhai. It's not easy work to find someone when you just know her name but nothing else" Laksha said inorder to encourage him.
Laksha looked at his brother who was suffering inside alone but he couldn't able to help him but just watching.
"God, please help my brother to come out of his guilt and live in peace" Laksha prayed in his mind.
After sometime Laksha went to his room. Sanskar came into balcony as he couldn't able to sleep after that. He was standing at balcony while holding rail and gazing at starry night in chilled night.
"Where are you Shona?" Sanskar mumbled looking at night sky.
Next day
Bose Mansion
"Baby wake up quickly, don't you want to go to school?" Swara was waking up her daughter who was showing tantrums to get up.
"Ok you sleep then don't blame me later not waking you up. Me and your buddy planned to go on shopping and eat ice cream and visit Nani and Nanu's home after your school but you don't want to go school then it's cancel" Swara said and turned to go.
"No Swala, I woke up, see" Naira said immediately while sitting on bed making Swara chuckle inside and pressed her lips not to laugh by seeing her antics. She knew how to wake up her daughter.
"That's my good girl" Swara said picking her in her arms and moved towards washroom to give her bath.
Swara and Naira reached school and both got down from the car. Swara came near Naira's side and bent little to match her height.
"Complete all tiffin box and be a good girl. I will come to pick you up after school" Swara said while cupping her cheeks with smile.
"Ok Swala" Naira said while smiling brightly.
"Take care" Swara said kissing her forehead.
"Naira" Both turned by hearing someone calling and found them as it was Arush. He came running towards them and behind them Parineeta was calling him as he was running fastly.
"Arush beta slow" Swara said by seeing him running. Arush came near them and smiled at them.
"Arush beta, don't run like this, you will get hurt if you fall down" Swara said with concern till then Pari also reached them.
Swara stood up and smiled at Pari.
"Hello Swara" Pari greeted her with pleasant smile.
"Hello Mrs. Maheswari" Swara greeted her back with smile.
"We are not any business partners that you are calling me formally. You can call me by name or Di(sister). I love to hear that" Pari said while laughing making Swara smiled back.
"Thank you Di" Swara said giving pleasant smile.
"Naira baby, you are getting late and go inside" Swara said looking down to her daughter.
"Ok Mumma" Naira said with bright smile and signed her to bend down. Swara bent down to meet her match. Naira kissed her cheeks making Swara smile.
"Bye Mumma, bye Aunty"Arush said bidding bye to both of them and held Naira's hand and went inside.
"Ok Pari Di, I am getting late for office,we will catch up some other time. I need to hurry" Swara said while seeing her watch.
"Ok Swara, come home with Naira. Last time you went hurriedly without proper talk" Pari said in complaining tone.
"Sorry, actually I was busy on that day, that's why I went hurriedly but next time I will come with Naira definitely by making some time" Swara said apologitically.
"Ok Bye" Swara said bidding her leave. She sat inside her car and drove away.
It was around 5 pm. Ragini, Sharmishta, Swara and Naira went to shopping as Swara promised to Naira. They were in jewellery section and choosing chain for Naira.
Swara, Ragini and Sharmishta were busy in selecting jewellery for Naira that they didn't give attention to Naira who was sitting on sofa.
"Baby" Swara turned to see as she was holding one small neck chain but didn't find her. Swara looked around and found her no where. She got scared not finding her.
"Naira" Swara called out for her loudly worriedly while leaving that chain on table and rushed to look for her even Ragini and Sharmishta got scared not finding her.
"Naira..Nairaaa..." Swara called her while running around as she was panicking in fear that something would have happened to her.
"Swara calm down, she must here only" Ragini said by seeing her panicking.
"You go on that side, I will search on this side" Ragini said while trying to make her calm as tears threatens to call from her eyes. Swara nodded her head and rushed towards that direction but stopped by seeing Naira moving towards one particular direction.
"Naira baby" Swara called her little loudly and Naira stopped by hearing her voice and turned back. Swara walked with fast step and engulfed her in her tight embrace making sure that she is safe with her. After a minute she broke the hug and looked at her.
"Where you were going? Don't you know Mumma got scared not finding you? Baby, Don't do like this again, Mumma can't live without you" Swara said as she was almost on verge of crying sometime before.
"No Mumma, I won't go anywhere leaving you" Naira said looking at Swara while touching her face.
"I am going to meet Aru" Naira said innocently making Swara confused.
"Arush, why will he come? He is in his home. We will go to their home if you want to meet him" Swara said while cupping her face.
"No, he is here only" Naira said while shaking her head.
"Where?" Swara asked her while looking around.
"There" Naira pointed towards at particular direction where Maheswari ladies were standing near jewellery counter at another side. Swara also saw them. She called Ragini to inform about Naira and picked up Naira in her arms. Ragini and Sharmishta also joined her.
"Buddy, you scared us" Ragini said with relief sign by seeing her safe.
"Sorry" Naira said cutely making all smile.
"Let's go to meet your best friend" Swara said with smile and Naira shook her head with bright smile.
"Aru" Naira called him as she comes near them. Arush and others also turned by listening Naira's voice.
"Naira" Arush got happy and excited by seeing Naira. Swara put Naira down.
"Swara" Pari said with surprised eyes by seeing her.
"Namaste" Swara folded her hands to greet Annapurna and Sujata.
"Namaste beta" Annapurna greeted her back with warm smile but Sujata was looking something rather than someone. Swara also followed her gaze and found Sharmishta whom Sujata was staring even Sharmishta also.
"Shomi, you here?" Sujata asked her surprisingly yet shockingly by seeing her.
"Sujata" Sharmishta said with surprised tone as well as happiness.
Both hugged each other making all confused and surprised.
"It's been 10 years, we met. How are you?" Sujata asked her after breaking hug.
"Yes, it's been 10 years. See yourself only how I am" Sharmishta said while laughing.
"When you came to Kolkata?" Sujata asked her.
"It's been 3 months" Sharmishta said making Sujata surprised as well as angry.
"It's been 3 months but you didn't care to meet me or contact me?" Sujata asked her with fake anger.
"Sorry, actually I lost your contact and I don't know where you live so" Sharmishta was finding reason to escape from her anger.
"Mom, you got your friend after long time and getting angry on her already?" Uttara asked her mother by interrupting them.
"Ok, ok I won't get angry" Sujata said while making face by listening her daughter.
"She is my daughter Ragini" Sharmishta said while showing Ragini to Sujata.
"She had grown up now. She was very small when I had seen her last time" Sujata said while caressing her one cheek making Ragini smile.
"She is..." Sharmishta was interrupted by Sujata
"We know her. She is Swara, Naira's mother" Sujata said while looking at Swara with smile.
"And my second daughter" Sharmishta said making Swara and Ragini smiled contently by hearing her.
Sujata looked at her confusing even other Maheswari ladies.
"Blood relation is not necessary to become daughter" Sharmishta said understanding their confused face.
"Yes, you are right" Sujata said with smile by feeling happy by hearing her.
"Jiji, She is my college classmate and my close friend Sharmishta Gadodia" Sujata said introducing Sharmishta to Annapurna.
"Namaste" Sharmishta folded her hands infront of Annapurna with smile.
"Namaste" Annapurna greeted her back with pleasant smile.
"She is Parineeta, Our eldest son Adarsh's wife and Arush's mother" Sujata said while introducing Parineeta.
"Namaste Aunty" Parineeta said while folding her hands with smile.
"Namaste beta" Sharmishta also smiled back at her.
"She is Uttara" Sujata said introducing Uttara to her.
"Namaste Aunty" Uttara said with folded hands.
"Namaste beta" Sharmishta greeted her back.
"And he is Arush, our home happiness" Sujata said while caressing his hairs while looking down who was standing with Naira.
"I am very happy by meeting you after long time. You all are coming to our home today"Sujata said in ordering tone.
"No Sujata, we will come some other time. It's already going to night soon and we have plenty of things to do shopping as on next Monday Naira's birthday" Sharmishta said while denying.
"What! Next Monday Naira's birthday even my brother's birthday also on same day" Uttara said being excited.
"Ok, you do your shopping but don't forget to come home and also bring both of them with you. I know they won't come unless they don't have any work" Sujata said while laughing and looked at Swara and Ragini.
"Yes, surely, I will bring them" Sharmishta said while laughing.
They bid bye to each other family and went to their respective shopping.
Swara and Ragini were moving behind Sharmishta slowly as Sharmishta was moving ahead with Naira in her arms.
"Do you know who are they?" Ragini asked her with low tone while bending little towards Swara.
"Of course, who doesn't know about Maheswari's in this Kolkata infact all India knows them" Swara said with is it a question to ask look.
"Even I know that but other than business world?" Ragini asked her with hoping tone.
"Yes" Swara replied turning little towards her.
"How?" Ragini asked her curiously with narrowing her eyes.
"Arush is Naira's friend that's why I got to know about them" Swara said and Ragini hit her forehead making Swara look at her like what!.
"They are Laksha's family" Ragini told her.
"What?" Swara shouted in loud tone making Sharmishta and Naira stop and looked back at them.
"Swara beta, what happened?" Sharmishta asked her worriedly.
"No Maa, nothing" Swara said with a grin and looked at Ragini who was giggling herself while closing her mouth. Sharmishta shook her head and moved forward.
"But they..." Swara was cut in by Ragini.
"Still they don't know about us" Ragini said while chuckling by seeing Swara's reaction.
"Sujata aunty and Shomi Maa both are friends so it becomes very easy for you to tell about your love" Swara said.
"Yes, you are right. I was thinking how to tell them but now it reduced half of my burden" Ragini said with relief sign and Swara shook her head with small smile.
Next Day

Swara entered inside after getting permission.
"Mam, this is the pamphlet they sent to every company who are participating in this contest" Siya gave complete information about the contest and put pamphlet infront of Swara.
Swara heard everything with patience and then took out the pamphlet which was on table.

"Karma Fashion House" Swara repeat the name while reading it.
"Yes Mam, you are right! They are only about whom you are thinking, no. 01 Fashion Industry in India. Its head quarters in Kolkata only. CEO is Mr. Sanskar Maheswari" Siya told her by reading Swara's face.
"Sanskar Maheswari.."Swara whispered that name again but felt something by hearing that name.
"And another one Mr. Sahil Sengupta, CEO of Sengupta Fashion House" Siya finished and looked at Swara who was looking at her.
"Mam, did I say something wrong?" Siya asked her with nervous by seeing Swara's bit puzzled reaction.
"What did you say about his name?" Swara asked pamphlate to confirm that did she heard it wrong or right?
"Sahil Sengupta" Siya said while looking at her.
"I heard this name before somewhere but where?" Swara started to think.
"Mam, everything is ok?" Siya asked her seeing her Swara being lost.
"Ha" Swara looked at her coming into sense.
"Mam, if we win this competation then we will get a opportunity to work with Karma or Sengupta. It's depends on winner whichever company they can choose" Siya told her.

"Swara Bose
Naira Fashion House"
"Swara Bose" A small smile crept on his lips unknowingly just by mentioning her name. A heart catching smiling face of Swara passed infront of his eyes making Sanskar heart beat raise.
"Why do I feel like something unknown whenever I see her or remembering her. My heart beat started to raise just by mentioning her name. I never felt like this for anyone but for her, I feel like I know her for ages and my heart wants to look at her again and again whenever she is near me. Why I am feeling like this?" Sanskar was in his own thought.
He closed his eyes while resting his head on chair but opened immediately by hearing door knock. He sat straight and composed himself.
"Come in" Sanskar said giving permission to enter.
Ruhi entered inside with files in her hand.
"Sir, we need to attend meeting which is arranged in Sengupta Fashion House regarding about upcoming contest arrangements discussion. Mr. Sengupta told that he wanted to talk about celebrity to promote contest" Ruhi informed and looked at Sanskar who was thinking deeply.
"Sir" Ruhi called him little loudly by seeing him being lost.

Pari took the receiver with confused face because definitely it was not from her parents as they would have called her to her mobile. Bring confused she replied
"Hello" Pari said
"Hello Pari Di, it's Swara talking" Swara said from another side.
"Ohh! Swara, I was thinking who would be calling at this hour. How are you and Naira?" Pari asked her with smile.
But it got everyone's attention and more importantly Sanskar whose ear became sharp by the mentioning of her name and so many thoughts were started to run in his mind that is it Swara about whom he saw or someone else and if she was then how his family knew her? Even Laksha was also looking at Pari by listening Swara's name as well as curious like Sanskar. Sanskar looked at Pari who was talking with Swara.
