Radhe Krishna

Let's start....

Sanskar entered inside with bang as still he was boiling with anger and frustration not getting what to do at right now. He took out his mobile to call but stopped by seeing time as it was midnight. He texted Karl to find about that number and then he threw his mobile on bed in frustration. He ruffled his hairs being angry over himself for feeling helpless at this time. He was not understanding why she holds so much affect on him, just he couldn't able to bear any harm or danger near her. After hearing about Swara's condition, his blood started to boil at the same time he wanted to kill him whoever that was, he wanted to embrace and make her feel safe but he was helpless to do. For a second he thought to run to her and embrace her to protect from this evil world. He looked at the time again and wished, this night would pass soon so that he could do something for her.

He threw himself on bed half lying and kept staring at ceiling with blank face.

"Swara, who are you actually? Why I am feeling very desperate to see you and talk with you? Why my heart always wants to see you since the day I saw you first time at award function. I got heart broken by knowing that you are married at the same time I felt your pain by knowing that you lost your family and raising Naira alone. I don't know why but I felt so connected to Naira at first time by seeing her in Arush's school without knowing that she is your daughter. No one disturbed me like you do. No one held this much affect on me as you have. Yes, my heart fell for you at first sight only which I kept ignoring. Day by day you started to occupy my whole mind and heart without my knowledge. I don't know why but I felt we met before. My heart wants to see you and talk with you but how and but with what relation? Who are you actually Swara? I went through your background  inorder to find truth about your family so that I can pacify my heart which was very desperate to know about what connection do we have but I got nothing there except you were staying in Bangalore for 6 years and you lost your husband 5 years back but nothing about him. Why my life became so much complicated which I am not understanding at right now. One side I am desperate for you and another side my nightmares which I have never experienced, don't know why I am having those nightmares which was telling me another unknown story of my life which was stopping me from to talking with you" Sanskar was thinking about his life. He didn't know when he drifted into sleep and woke up by hearing continuous knock sound on his door. He lazily opened his eyes and felt burning sensation due to lack of sleep. He opened with difficulty by hearing continuous knock. He went to open the door and found Uttara on doorstep.

"Bhai, Mom asked you to come down soon" Uttara told while giving him coffee mug and ran downstairs again without waiting for his reply.
Sanskar closed door and kept coffee mug on table and went to get fresh up. He came out from the washroom after having bath and called Karl still wearing his dress for pooja which Sujata had given yesterday only.
Karl received Sanskar's call in one ring only.

"Karl, I sent one number at night and find out about him. I need every information about him within an hour at any cost" Sanskar ordered him in his bossy tone and cut the call without waiting for reply. He wore his clothes and came out from his walk in closet after getting fully ready with white Kurta and paijam. He stuffed his mobile in his pocket and went downstairs.

Bose Mansion

Swara woke up by feeling tap on her shoulder and opened her eyes lazily while turning. She opened it completely and looked at the person who was standing beside the bed with hands over her chest and looking at  Swara.

"Baby you woke up? Sorry I don't know how I slept till now" Swara said and got down from the bed hurriedly.

"When you woke up?" Swara asked while tying her hairs.

"One hour before" Naira told her

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Swara asked still finding something to tie her hairs.

"I know you must be tired because of office that's why you slept otherwise you wouldn't, that's why I didn't wake you up. Infact I was giving company to buddy leaving you to sleep some more time" Naira said with bright smile making Swara's heart flutter with her cuteness and care. She picked her up and made her stood on bed and kissed her forehead lovingly and in return Naira kissed her both cheeks making Swara smile.

"Come I will make you get fresh up" Swara said and Naira shook her head while moving back.

"Swala, buddy and I got fresh up already. I came to call you for breakfast as I am feeling hungry" Naira said while showing her tummy which made Swara laugh.

"Ok, give me five minutes, I will be there" Swara said and rushed to washroom. She stood infront of wash basin while staring at herself in the mirror and her red eyes were showing lack of sleep. She didn't wanted to make her daughter upset by showing her sadness. Again fresh tears came out from her eyes by the thought of night call and fear gripped in her heart that when would he be calling again.

"Why I am feeling this much weak Vihaan which I have never felt. But I am feeling helpless and scared for Naira that someone will snatch her from me like you snatched by God. I don't know who was that person but fear gripped in my heart that he would do something for Naira. I don't know what to do? Why you left me alone Vihaan? I don't know how to protect my daughter without you. Till now I have faced so many problems and reached here by facing ups and downs but now just one call from unknown person made my life upside down. What should I now?" Tears were flowing from her eyes continuously.

"You are crying like a coward Swara. You are not my Swara whom I knew. You are my strong and brave girl who fights with every problem in her life. You have reached this position while facing everything alone and protected our daughter. Now you became weak just by one unknown person call. This is not my Swara" Vihaan's figure said which appeared in mirror making Swara look at him.

"You are not weak Swara, I m always with you and Naira. I never went anywhere leaving you both. You will always find me beside with you, always" Vihaan's reflection told making Swara smile.

"No, I won't cry for some jerk. I need to be strong for Naira so that no one could harm her. I will be strong and brave as before how you have thought me Vihaan. I won't let anything happen to our daughter" Swara wiped her tears with determination to face any obstacles in her life and protect herself and her daughter from evil.

Swara came down after getting ready and went towards dining table where Ragini and Naira was waiting for her. Swara smiled at Ragini who was looking at her with concerned eyes. Swara blinked her eyes with small smile making Ragini bit relief.

Swara started to feed Naira who was telling about something and very excited to go Arush's home.

"Ragini, Maheswari's invited me to pooja in their home" Swara said while turning towards her.

"Hmm Mom just told me that Sujata aunty invited Mom also" Ragini told her making Swara smile.

"Are you going?" Ragini asked her while lifting her head from food plate.

"Hmm, we are going" Swara looked at Naira who was looking at Swara only that what would she say? as she was hearing their conversation with keen ears. Naira jumped in happiness by listening her.

"Are you sure?" Ragini asked her again to confirm.

"Yes, I don't want to upset her because of me" Swara said and blinked her eyes with assurance.

"Then we can go together. Mom and Dad will join us there only" Ragini told and Swara nodded her head in agreement.

"Ragini, don't tell about yesterday unknown call to Maa, Papa" Swara requested her.

"Ok but not now, if anything become serious then I will tell definitely" Ragini told her like final decision.

"Ok" Swara signed while agreeing with her because she knew she wouldn't listen anyone.

"Get ready soon, we need to be there for pooja" Ragini said while gulping juice quickly.

"Pooja or someone who personally requested to be there early?" Swara teased her.

"Swara" Ragini glared at her but small tint of blush formed on her cheeks making Swara laugh more.

"Swala why are you laughing looking at buddy?" Naira asked her innocently not understanding their conversation.

"Nothing baby, you finish this quickly and get ready" Swara said while feeding her last morsel.

Maheswari Mansion

Sanskar came downstairs after getting ready where everyone having breakfast.

"You have come finally" Sujata let out relief sign by seeing her son.

"Come, have breakfast quickly. Guest will be coming soon. We have left so much things to prepare still and priest will reach any time" Sujata said while moving towards dining table. Sanskar silently followed his mother without a word.

"Good morning Bhai" Laksha wished him while showing his full teeth making Sanskar rolled his eyes.

"Why am I feeling like you are very excited about something today?" Sanskar asked him while taking his seat beside Laksha.

"Yes Bhai, guess what?" Laksha whispered to Sanskar.
Sanskar narrowed his eyes at him.

"Don't tell me Ragini will be coming to our home" Sanskar told while pouring water in his glass.

"You are right Bhai and Swara also" Laksha said with grin making Sanskar choke water and started to cough badly making all worry.

"Bhai" Laksha started to rub his back to sooth.

"Sanskar, drink slow. What's hurry for you today?" Sujata asked him while coming near him.

"Are you ok?" Sujata asked him with concern while rubbing his back.

"I am fine Mom" Sanskar said with assured tone. Sujata served him plate and went to her place.
Laksha looked at him apologetically.
Sanskar blinked his eyes by saying that it's ok.

"Sanskar and Laksha you will look after arrangements and guests need and food" Durgaprasad told them.

"Ok Bade Papa/ Dad" Sanskar and Laksha agreed to him.

"Dadu, Naira is coming to our home. I will introduce her to you" Arush told Durgaprasad with excited tone making all smile.

"Of course, we all are waiting to meet your best friend" Durgaprasad said with small smile.

"Papa, where is chocolates I asked you? I want them before she comes" Arush demanded from his father.

"Champ, first finish your breakfast. I kept it in room and will give you after breakfast" Adarsh said while looking at his over dominating son.

"Ok" Arush said in chirpy tone and started to have his breakfast.

"Uttara, Ruhi will be coming so..." Sanskar was cut in by Uttara.

"Don't worry Bhai, I will take care of her" Uttara completed him giving him broad smile and Sanskar gave small smile while nodding his head.

"Bhai, did you plan to talk with Swara?" Laksha asked him in whispering tone.

"No" Sanskar answered nonchalantly.

"No means?" Laksha asked him with scrunched eyebrow with are you serious look.

"Lucky, just finish your breakfast, we have so much things to look after" Sanskar said giving him serious look.

"You are missing golden chance Bhai" Laksha mumbled himself.

"What are you both whispering?" Sujata asked them with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing Chachi, just asking about something related to office work" Laksha gave lame excuse making Sujata look at him with are you serious look because Laksha never discuss or talk about business when he was in home that too when family was gathering. Laksha dig his face in food plate to avoid further questions from his over detective Chachi. Sanskar chuckled inwardly by seeing him. They finished breakfast and retired to look after their assigned work.

11. 30 am

All preparations for pooja have done smoothly and guests were arriving one by one and Durgaprasad and Ramprasad was welcoming guest.

Sanskar who was standing near his Badepapa and his Dad again and again looking at door. Laksha who was observing since long time chuckled knowing the reason for his brother desperation.

"Bhai, they will reach soon, don't worry" Laksha said with chuckle.

"I am not waiting for her" Sanskar replied instantly while glaring at Laksha.

"Did I mention that it was Swara?" Laksha asked back with teasing.

Sanskar glared at him and was saying something back but stopped as his mobile started to ring. He took out his mobile as it was Karl.
He excused himself and came back to his room to talk with Karl.

"Hello Karl, did you trace the number?" Sanskar asked him  impatiently.

"Sir, we traced it but it was on the name of dead person and someone using this number with the identity of dead man. We couldn't able to know who exactly using this number now. If he called again then we can trace him" Karl informed him making Sanskar get angry l.
Sanskar ruffled his hairs in frustration not able to get him.

"Ok, you try to search who was using now and inform me if you get anything" Sanskar ordered him and cut the call.

"I won't leave him whoever he is and wherever he hides, I will find him no matter what!" Sanskar promised himself and took deep breathe to calm his racing heart.

He came out from his room and stood near balcony over looking down at the guest who were coming but his eyes were searching for something or say someone. He looked at the time as it was almost 12 pm.

His eyes got widen immediately by seeing Shekhar Gadodia and Sharmishta Gadodia because he knew they were Ragini's parents so he thought that Swara must be with them but to his disappointment there were no other people except both of them. He looked at his mother and father who were hugging Sharmishta and Shekhar respectively. He guessed it that they must be known each other.

"I am very happy that you finally came to our home" Sujata said while breaking the hug.

"How could I reject you?" Sharmishta said while laughing.

"Shekhar, I didn't know that you are here finally? Sujata told me that she has surprise for me but I didn't knew that it's you only" Ramprasad exclaimed in happiness and looked at Sujata who was smiling at them.

Ramprasad introduced Shekhar to Durgaprasad and Adarsh who were standing there. Laksha was looking here and there for Ragini who was nowhere to be seen till now.

"Shomi, where is your daughter?" Sujata asked her finally while looking behind them.

"She is coming with Swara" Sharmishta told her.

"Ok, you come inside" Sujata said and brought her inside.

"Whom are you waiting with so much impatiently?" Adarsh asked him with raised eyebrow who was looking at main door with so much desperation.

"No...no one Bhai" Laksha said while giving nervous smile. Adarsh shook his head with chuckle knowing that his little brother was up to something and left inside.

"Hi bro" Sanskar who was standing at balcony startled with sudden voice near his ear. Sanskar turned and glared at opposite person as it's none other than Arav.

"You got time now?" Sanskar asked him while giving him death glare.

"Sorry bro, I got emergency in hospital so I had to leave, you know I can't leave my patient" Arav said while giving sheepish smile.

"Where is my soon to be Bhabhi?" Arav asked him. Sanskar looked at him with questionable eyes.

"I mean Swara, Lucky told that she is coming today" Arav said with teasing smile.

"This Lucky, can't he keep his mouth shut for sometime." Sanskar cursed in his mind.

"Don't curse him. You know he is better than you that he told me everything unlike someone" Arav said making faces. Sanskar ignored him and started to look down or rather say at main door.

Arav who was standing beside him with bored expression, suddenly his face brighten up by seeing someone.

"Ruhi" Arav got double happy by seeing her with Uttara who were busy in arranging something.

Arav was going but Sanskar pulled him by holding his shirt. Arav frowned by seeing it.

"Don't disturb her now, first let pooja finish" Sanskar warned him.

"Khadoos!" Arav cursed him under his breathe. Arav stood while looking at Ruhi with dreamy eyes who was looking beautiful in baby pink simple saree with white border. Arav's heart skipped it's beat by seeing her smile on her face who was laughing with Uttara as Uttara was telling her something.

"Hayeee!" Arav kept his hand on his chest dramatically by seeing her smile.

"Drama King." Sanskar murmured by looking at him and chuckled later. 

Sanskar got bored not finding Swara and thought that she might not be coming. He opened his mobile to check any office mails.

"Hey, who is this another beauty?" Arav said not getting clear view of the person who was standing beside Ragini. Sanskar shook his head by listening him not knowing who was that.

"One is Ragini and Another one is..." Before Arav complete Sanskar turned in swift moment by listening him as he knew it must be Swara only. His guess was right, it's Swara only. His breath hitched in his throat by seeing devine beauty infront of him who was wrapped in simple yet elegant blue Kanchipuram silk saree with bun hairstyle and looking absolutely gorgeous and Sanskar lost in her smile who was smiling at Sujata and Pari who was welcoming her then his eyes went towards Naira who was got ready in traditional lehenga choli and looking beautiful and cute. Sanskar's heart filled with unknown peace just by seeing them both.

"She is Swara....." Arav stopped by seeing Sanskar who was staring and followed his gaze where his eyes fixated on Swara.

"You can't resist yourself right?" Arav asked him with chuckle by looking at him and got glare from Sanskar.

"Don't glare at me. I am telling truth only. How much you tried to ignore still you can't" Arav said while laughing.

"I thought you won't come but you came finally" Pari said while hugging Swara.

Swara smiled while hugging her back.
Ragini and Laksha were talking through eyes which was noticed unknowingly by Annapurna who was standing beside Sujata. She smiled inwardly by seeing her son.

"Come" Pari took both inside. Sujata and Annapurna went to arrange remaining things for pooja.

"Mumma, I will play with Aru" Naira asked Swara.

"Baby, here so many people are there, you will get lost" Swara told her softly.

"Mumaaa" Naira made crying face.

"Don't worry Swara, I will ask maid to look after them. Here they are safe so you don't need to worry" Pari told her with assurance.

"Aru, you play in our room and don't go anywhere" Pari told them.

"Kamala" Pari called one house maid.

"Yes Bhabhi ji" Kamala came while running towards her.

"You be with them and don't go anywhere leaving them alone" Pari ordered her and Kamala nodded her head and went behind the kids.

"Come" All entered inside the pooja hall.

"Papa ji" Pari called Durgaprasad who was talking with Ramprasad, Arav's father Arnav Singhania who was Sujata's brother. Shekhar and Adarsh was also standing beside them.

"She is Swara, Naira's mother" Pari said while showing Swara to them.

"Namaste uncle" Swara folded her hands infront of them.

"Namaste beta" Durgaprasad greeted her back and also Ramprasad.

"I got to know you in award function only. We really appreciate your hard work"  Durgaprasad said with proud  smile.

"Yes beta, we really impressed by seeing you and achieving at such young age" Ramprasad said with small smile.

"Are you done with praising my daughter" Shekhar said while wrapping his hands around Swara and Ragini making others confused.

"She is my daughter Ragini" Shekhar said introducing his daughter to them.

"Namaste" Ragini folded her hands with smile.

"Namaste beta" All greeted her back.

"Swara and Ragini are best friends and we met five years back in Bangalore. From then she became our family" Shekhar said while smiling at Swara who in return gave a content smile to him.

"Laksha where is Sanskar?" Durgaprasad asked him not finding him.

Swara's ear became straight by listening Sanskar's name. She wouldn't have any idea why her heart beats raised just by listening his name and unknown feelings started erupt inside her heart.

"Why I am feeling like this just by listening his name? Something unknown feelings started to raise inside me just hearing his name then what will happen if I see him in person? Who is he?" Swara thought in her mind.

"He must be here only Dad" Laksha said looking around but found no where.

"I will call him" Laksha said and went to call him.

"Come let's go down" Arav said to Sanskar and both started to move but Sanskar stopped as someone dashed him from opposite side and he halted and held the person before they fell on ground. He looked down and found the person as it was Naira who was running while laughing and Arush was running behind her to catch as they were playing.
Naira looked above and found Sanskar who was staring at her.

"Chachu" Arush said while coming near them.

Naira looked at another person who was standing beside Sanskar who was smiling at her.

"Hi" Arav waved his hand while giving broad smile.

"Doctor uncle" Naira smiled at him while standing at safe distance from Sanskar after coming out from his hand clutch.

"How are you now?" Arav asked her while kneeling on his one leg to match her height.

"I become super fine in two days with your medicine" Naira said with chirped tone making both smile. Naira looked at Sanskar who was staring at her only.

"Naira, you know who is this?" Arav asked her while pointing towards Sanskar.
Naira shook her head in yes while staring at Sanskar.

"Who?" Arav asked her with raised eyebrow.

"He is Arush's Chachu" Naira said with low tone making both smile. Sanskar smiled by listening her innocent answer.

"And me?" Arav asked her.

"You are doctor uncle" Naira said while looking at him.

"Me, Arush's Mamu" Arav said making Naira surprised as well as happy.

"Hi princess" Sanskar said while giving her warm smile making Naira widen her eyes by listening princess word and kneeled on his one leg and gave hand to her.
Naira looked at Sanskar then at Arush who was smiling at her.

"Hi" Naira said with cheeky smile while giving him hand back.

"I heard, you were not well, how are you now?" Sanskar asked her with small smile.

"I am super fine now. I listened Mumma and ate all medicines which she gave and become fine" Naira gave innocent answer making both smile.

"Where are you both going?" Sanskar asked both looking at Naira and Arush

"We are playing and going to our room" Arush answered him.

"Don't you want to see Pooja?" Sanskar asked both. Both looked at each other face and nodded their head while smiling brightly.

"Come champ, I want to tell you something" Arav said immediately as he wanted to give space to Sanskar and Naira to make bond between them.

"Really?" Arush asked him in excitement and jumped in his arms. Sanskar blinked his eyes while thanking him.

"Come princess." Sanskar said and picked up Naira in his arms making Naira smile broadly.

"Where is your Mumma?" Sanskar asked her while moving towards stairs.

"Mumma is with buddy and Pari aunty." Naira said while looking at Sanskar who smiled at her.

Ruhi was in kitchen and helping Uttara to arrange sweets in plate for pooja. Swara, Ragini were standing at one corner with Sharmishta.

Sanskar came downstairs and all were standing for pooja. Ruhi came outside with Uttara after arranging everything and stood at back side of Maheswari family. Arav who saw her and smiled inwardly.

"Champ, you go to Mumma and I will just come." Arav said while putting down Arush.

"Ok Mamu" Arush said and rushed towards his mother as she was calling him also.
Naira looked at him going towards his mother and her eyes searched for her mother.

"Do you want go to Mumma?" Sanskar asked her who nodded her head vigorously.

"Where is your Mumma now?" Sanskar looked around to find Swara and found her at another corner who was standing with Ragini and Sharmishta and at the same Laksha came there.

"Hi doll, I am Laksha, your Ragini buddy's friend and Arush's Chachu" Laksha said introducing himself while giving her broad smile.

"Hi" Naira gave him cheeky grin.
Sanskar's mobile started to ring again making him stopped his conversation in middle.

"Princess, this uncle take you to your Mumma" Sanskar said while giving Naira to Laksha.

"Come doll" Laksha said while taking her in his arms. Sanskar excused himself to attend call and moved  outside through kitchen backdoor. Laksha came near Swara and Ragini.

"Here is your Mumma" Laksha said while putting her down.

"Mumma" Naira said with chirpy tone and rushed to her.

"Why you got late?" Laksha whispered while standing beside Ragini.

"It's because of office work. Emergency came so got late" Ragini whispered back.

"Won't you go for Aarati?" Ragini asked him with raised eyebrow by seeing whole Maheswari family was standing at front and doing pooja.

"Going" Laksha said while making faces and went to his family. Ragini giggled by seeing his poker face.

Ruhi was standing alone and Arav came and stood  beside her.

"Hi" Arav said making Ruhi jerk and turned towards Arav who was giving her charming smile.

Ruhi glared at him for making her scared.

"What are you doing here?" Ruhi asked him with stern tone.

"This is my home" Arav said giving her sheepish smile. Ruhi looked at him with confused face.

"Ohh, you don't know right? Sanskar is my Bhau's son" Arav said with grin. Ruhi was surprised as she didn't see him till now in Maheswari Mansion but heard from Sanskar that his cousin was in London and doing his specialist in Medicine.

"So what?" Ruhi said and turned front ignoring him making Arav open his mouth in shock.

"This is not fair ha. I am talking with you but you are ignoring me?" Arav said while making innocent face.

"Hello Mr..."

"Not Mr but Doctor, Dr. Arav Singhania, Pediatrician" Arav said while giving her full teeth smile.

"I didn't ask you" Ruhi said with non care tone.

"But I wanted too" Arav said while ruffling his hairs with smile.
Ruhi ignored him totally and stood while folding her hands as they were doing Aarati.

Arav also folded his hands and looked at Ruhi with his corner of his eyes.

"God, I never asked you for anything. You have given me everything before I ask, family, friends and everything but for the first time I am begging you as my heart desired for her for the first time. I want to love her and spend my whole life with her. I know she suffered lot in her life but I wanted erase that pain and filled her life with my love and give her all happiness. Please give your blessings on us" Arav prayed God while looking at her with smile who was praying God while closing her eyes.

"Arav" Arav's mother Anusuya called him.

"Coming Mom" Arav said and turned towards Ruhi who was looking at him.

"I will be back" Arav winked at her and went towards his mother making Ruhi shook her head with unbelievable.

All done Aarati and Laksha also finished doing Aarati.

"Where is Sanskar?" Sujata asked looking behind and all turned to look around to find him even Swara also curious to know who was that the number one Fashion Designer of India whom everyone talks about him.

"There" Laksha said while pointing towards Sanskar where he was coming to there only and it got everyone's attention.
Even Swara also turned towards that direction where everyone was looking. Swara got stunned by seeing the person who was coming towards them while stuffing his mobile in his pocket. She found herself in another world of hallucination and couldn't able to believe her eyes by seeing the scene infront of her.

"Vihaan" Just one word came out from her mouth and huge gulp formed in her throat to say further anything. Shock would be understatement for her which she never imagined. Her eyes glued to Sanskar who was moving towards his mother.

"What?" Ragini looked at her shockingly by hearing Swara who mentioned Vihaan's name and Swara was standing like a statue.
