Radhe Krishna

Let's start...

Next day

Swara woke up and got ready before everyone wakes up and then went to prepare tea and coffee for everyone. Workers were surprised to see her in the kitchen so early morning because even Sujata and Annapurna also would enter kitchen around 7.30 am but Swara was present at around 6.30 am which left them surprise.

Swara asked them to send coffee and tea for respective rooms and then she went to wake up her daughter. She entered inside and going towards bed and at the same time she heard her mobile message beep sound. She rushed towards mobile and quickly opened it to see in the hoping of Sanskar's message. She wanted to hear his voice but she was hesitant by thinking what must he thinks about her. Her smile widen by seeing it from Sanskar.

"Good morning!. I have conference at 10 am and will wind up around 2 pm. I will call you after post lunch and say love to my princess"

Swara read Sanskar's message and felt happy by seeing his care.

"Good morning! Eat breakfast before going and waiting for your call" Swara sent back to him.

Sanskar who was getting ready heard his mobile and opened to see Swara's name and then smiled by reading her message. Later he stuffed his things his bag and went out while smiling himself.

Swara made her daughter ready and went downstairs to have breakfast.

She entered dining area where all were already present. She stopped by seeing all and felt nervous by seeing everyone. If Sanskar would have been around then she wouldn't have felt this much nervous but without Sanskar and moreover she was not close with everyone.

"Aru" Naira ran towards Arush getting everyone's attention. All turned back to see Swara who was standing at little distance with nervous smile.

"Swara beta, why are you standing there? come and have breakfast" Sujata called her by understanding her nervousness and hesitation.

Swara gave nervous smile and moved towards empty chair which was beside Uttara. She settled on chair and looked for Naira who was talking with Arush.

"Naira baby, come here" Swara called her with low tone. Naira went to Swara just by one call like a obedient child. Swara made her sit on her lap and served her plate and then started to feed her.

"Swara beta" Annapurna called her softly on which Swara looked at her lifting her head.

"This is your family and you don't need to feel hesitate or nervous. Here we are all your family not only Sanskar. You feel free to ask or do anything and no one can put restriction for you" Annapurna said with warm smile making Swara smile.

"Ji Maa" Swara said with light smile.

After breakfast Swara came downstairs with her bag and Naira's bag. Pari also came with Arush's things.

"Swara, you go office and I will go to drop them" Pari told her.

"No Di, I will drop them on the way" Swara said while denying.

"Swara, what Maa told sometime before? We are family now and Naira is also part of this family and I am doing my children work not anyones" Pari said making Swara feel overwhelmed.

"Thank you Di" Swara gave gratitude smile.
Later she left to her office after bidding bye to them and before not forgetting to take blessings from elders who blessed her with warm heart.

Bangalore
Sanskar reached the venue of conference followed by his PA Priya.

All reputed company CEO's present there and sitting around rectangular table. Sanskar entered followed by Priya getting everyone's attention. Some were surprised to see the youngest business tycon and some were jealous of by seeing his success in short span of time and some were proud of by seeing him and in all that one man was shocked to see him alive and it was none other than Arya Ayyar and CEO of Yash Group of Company. Sanskar took his seat and opened his mobile to check any mails or important messages. Arya was too shocked to react and he came into sense when his PA called him.

"Vihaan is alive? Then where he was till now? Does Swara know about him being alive?" Arya thought and took out his mobile to call but before that chair person of the conference entered inside. Arya was taking glances of Sanskar by time to time and Sanskar was aware of him because he was sitting opposite to him but Sanskar couldn't understand why Arya was staring him for a long time.

It was around 2 pm when conference ended. It went well and Sanskar came out hurriedly because he wanted to call Swara. He was passing through corridor but stopped by listening someone's voice.

Sanskar turned back and looked at Arya who came towards him. Sanskar recognised him because he was feeling Arya's constant gaze throughout the conference.

"Yes Mr...." Sanskar stopped not knowing his name.

"Arya Ayyar, CEO of Yash Group" Arya introduced himself with smile.

"Sanskar Maheswari, CEO of Karma Fashion House" Sanskar said introducing himself back.

"It's nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you and wanted to meet you in person but didn't know that I would get a big surprise" Arya said with surprised tone.

"Surprise?" Sanskar asked him by confusingly.

"Yes, I didn't know you would come here" Arya said quickly covering it.

"Ohh, it's nice to meet you Mr. Ayyar" Sanskar said with return smile.

"If you don't mind, would you like to join us for lunch? My Dad wants to meet you so he will be very happy by seeing you" Arya asked him in requesting tone.

"Sorry Mr. Ayyar, I have urgent work so I will join you for lunch some other time surely" Sanskar said in apologetic tone.

"Never mind" Arya said while giving him smile. Sanskar gave small smile and turned to go.

"Vihaan"

Sanskar stopped abruptly by hearing Vihaan's name and he turned back to look at Arya.

"Sorry, I was calling my friend" Arya covered up immediately by holding mobile on ear while pretended to be talking. Sanskar nodded his head and moved towards exit. Arya kept staring at retreating figure of Sanskar. He took out his mobile and called Swara immediately.

Swara who was doing her work, heard mobile ringing and saw Arya's name flashing on screen. She got happy by seeing it and She received it quickly without making delay.

"Hello Bhai" Swara said as soon as received.

"You forgot me totally right after going Kolkata?" Arya said in fake angry tone.

"Nothing like that Bhai, I just got busy in adjusting here so didn't get a time to call...sorry" Swara said in apologetic tone.

"Ok I forgave you this time" Arya said in warning tone.

"Thank you Bhai. Ok tell me how is Bhabhi and Druv?" Swara asked him.

"Everyone is fine here. Leave all that and first I want to tell you something important" Arya said in impatient tone.

"What is that Bhai?" Swara asked him by listening his serious tone.

"I just saw Vihaan here" Arya said making Swara shocked. She totally forgot about it and wouldn't have expected that they would encounter like this.

"Did you talk with him?" Swara asked him in fear that he would have told him about being Vihaan.

"You knew about him being alive?" Arya asked by hearing her because she was not shocked but asking him talking with him.

"Yes, I came to know about him being alive two weeks before only" Swara told him.

"No, I haven't talked much but I didn't understand one thing. How come he is Sanskar Maheswari? and what about Vihaan?" Arya told her being confused about his identity.

"Bhai, don't ask him anything and don't tell him being Vihaan, please. I will tell you detail later but now don't tell him about me or Vihaan" Swara told in requesting tone.

"Ok but I need every explanation later" Arya demanded his answer.

"Ok, thank you Bhai" Swara said and cut the call. Arya thought for s minute and then went to meet his father. Sanskar was going back to his Hotel but one thing was ringing in his mind that is 'Vihaan'. Why he stopped when Arya called by that name and why I felt that he was calling me only. Does he know about Vihaan because Swara and Vihaan also used to live in Bangalore right? They might have known about him. He thought something and turned towards his PA.

"Priys, arrange dinner meet with Mr. Arya Ayyar" Sanskar told her.

"Ok sir" Priya noted him.

Sanskar reached hotel and called Swara who was sitting on her chair while thinking about Arya's call. She came into sense by hearing mobile ringtone and saw Sanskar's name. Her face brighten up by seeing his name flashing on mobile screen and her tension flee away just by seeing his call. She quickly received it making Sanskar smile from another side.

"Hello Swara" Sanskar said as soon as Swara received his call.

"Hello Sanskar" Swara also replied.

"Conference got over?" Swara asked him.

"Yes, just reached hotel" Sanskar said while slumping on sofa and loosened his tie.

"Is everything ok there?" Sanskar asked her again.

"Yes, everything is good here. When you are coming back?" Swara asked him because she doesn't want Sanskar stay anymore otherwise he would try to find about Vihaan surely, that much she knew about Sanskar.

"I will come by tomorrow afternoon. I have dinner meet with some of my business friend so couldn't able to come today" Sanskar said making Swara disappoint.

"Ok, take care yourself" Swara said at last.

"Ok, you too. Bye" Sanskar said and cut the call.

Sanskar closed his eyes in relief but Swara was still tensed over something, not something but about Vihaan's matter. She was thinking what if Sanskar tried to know about Vihaan. She was sure that he wouldn't have sit calmly if he gets slightest doubt about Vihaan's identity.

Sanskar heard knock on door and asked to come in. Priya entered inside.

"Sir, Mr. Ayyar accepted our dinner meet but requested to have dinner in their mansion" Priya informed him.

"Say yes" Sanskar told her without thinking second.

"Ok Sir" Priya agreed and went out. It was evening Sanskar got ready and left to Ayyar Mansion.

It was around 8 pm when he reached Ayyar Mansion due to Bangalore traffic. Arya was eagerly waiting for Sanskar with his family. He told everything to Madhav what Swara has told him in call and all wanted to meet him eagerly.

Sanskar got down from the car and looked at the mansion and he felt familiar with the place but he ignored it and entered inside following worker who was guiding him inside.

Sanskar wandered his eyes around the mansion as it was quite big with marvelous interior.

"Welcome Mr. Maheswari" Sanskar turned hearing Arya's voice.

"Thank you Mr. Ayyar" Sanskar said giving professional smile.

"Please come" Arya said and all moved inside where whole family was waiting.

They reached living hall where Madhav and Suman with Poorvi was waiting for them.

Madhav's eyes became teary by seeing him after 5 years and even all trio who were present there. Arya nodded no while signing through his eyes by seeing them becoming emotional. Sanskar got confused by seeing their sudden change of reaction. He was observing since he entered living hall.

"Welcome Mr. Maheswari" Madhav said while forwarding his hand to Sanskar.

"Thank you Mr. Ayyar" Sanskar said with small smile.

"He is my father Madhav Ayyar and she is my mother Suman Ayyar" Arya said while introducing them.

"She is my wife Poorvi Ayyar and..." Arya stopped not finding his son.

"Namaste" Sanskar folded his hands infront of them.

"Where is Druv?" Arya asked Poorvi.

"I think he went upstairs because his friend called him" Poorvi told him.

"Please take your seat Mr. Maheswari"  Arya asked him.

"Call me Sanskar. I am feeling uncomfortable to be called formally when I am in home" Sanskar said with small smile. Madhav was looking at him only like he couldn't able recognise him at first. This Sanskar and that Vihaan look different in everything but face is same.

"Then you can call me Arya" Arya asked him while laughing.

Trio settled on sofa and both women went inside to arrange dinner.

"We wanted to meet you for a long time but not able to meet. Thank you for receiving our invitation" Arya said .

"It's my glad to meet you all. I heard a lot about Yash Group and your success also" Sanskar said while giving them small smile.

Sanskar looked around to find anything but he couldn't and he was feeling nervous how to ask them about Vihaan. He was going to ask but stopped when Suman interrupted their conversation as she came to ask them for dinner.

"Sanskar, please come" Madhav asked him while getting up from sofa.

All settled around dining table except ladies and Suman and Poorvi served them.

"Sanskar, you can think it as your home and feel free to ask" Madhav told him giving warm smile. Sanskar nodded his head with small smile.

"Poorvi, call Druv" Arya asked her. She went to call Druv who was busy in talking with Naira. Sanskar looked at all food items and got surprised by finding all his favourite items but he didn't ask them and thought it might be coincident.

"Arya, if you don't mind can I ask you something or you can say about someone?" Sanskar asked him in requesting tone making trio looked at him. Arya and Madhav looked at each other with not clue look which was noticed by Sanskar.

"Yes, you can Sanskar" Arya said while giving nervous smile. They had little idea what he was going to ask which was created by him only in conference.

"Do you know about Vihaan Bose, who was your PA 5 years back?" Sanskar asked him leaving them in dilemma. They were praying for God not to bring this matter but their prayer couldn't work.

Arya looked at Madhav and then Sanskar. He took short breathe and turned towards Sanskar.

"Yes, I know him very well in fact he is one of my close friend whom I can trust blindly and also very close with my family also. My son was very fond of him and everyone used to ask us is he our son or Vihaan's?" Arya said with chuckle by remembering old days. "He became our family in just small span of time and Swara also...." He was going to say but stopped by realising and looked at Sanskar who was just listening him.

"Now, Swara is my wife" Sanskar said making them shock.

"What?" This was the reaction from Arya and even Madhav and Suman got confused by listening him because Swara didn't tell them yet being married.

"I mean we got married two days back" Sanskar told them truth. He didn't know why he trusted them but he felt that they were familiar and close to heart.

"Sorry, we didn't disclose our marriage because of some reason so no one knows about us" Sanskar said while eyeing them. All trio face brighten up by hearing him.

"Thank God! Atlast she found her happiness" Arya said by thanking God.

"You don't know Sanskar how much she suffered after Vihaan dimise. She was pregnant but he left before he could heard about her daughter. She was all alone and refused to go out and talk with anyone. She became alone but because of her unborn baby, she became strong. Later she opened her own shop and worked hard so that she could fulfil his promise which she has given to Vihaan. After 5 years of hard work, now she is here. We insisted her to live with us but she refused and told us that she wanted to live where she has a memory with Vihaan so we couldn't force her. She also denied to take our help and stood on herself to reach this height. I have never seen such a hard working and strong woman" Madhav said by remembering about Swara.

"Now, I am very happy to listen that she got her happiness" Madhav said with warm smile.

"Uncle, do you know how Vihaan died?" Sanskar asked them.

"Sorry, I wanted to ask Swara but I couldn't muster up my courage to bring this matter infront of her. I know it's painful for her so I am asking you" Sanskar said genuinely.

"He died in plane cra....sh" Madhav said but stopped his talk realising something and looked at Arya who also became shocked. Sanskar looked at their shocked face and understood that there was something wrong but soon both of them composed and turned towards Sanskar.

"Sorry, might be I asked too much" Sanskar said being sorry and continued to eat but his mind was surrounded with Vihaan's matter only.

They finished their dinner and got up.

"Druv, stop" Poorvi came behind Druv who was descending the stairs. Druv stopped by seeing familiar face but he didn't remember about Vihaan's face so he couldn't figure out who was Sanskar.

"Sanskar, he is my son Druv" Arya said while introducing him.

"Druv, say hello to uncle" Arya asked him while holding him through shoulder.

"Hello uncle, I am Druv Ayyar" Druv said with smile.

"Hello beta" Sanskar said with pleasant smile.

"Uncle, Arya I will take leave now. I need to leave for Kolkata by tomorrow early flight" Sanskar said while moving towards living hall.

"Call me when you come to Kolkata" Sanskar asked them and bid bye to all.

"I hope he remembers all soon" Madhav said while staring at Sanskar's retreating figure.
Arya came into sense by hearing mobile ringtone. He saw and it was from Swara. He received it without making delay.

"Hello" Arya replied.

"Is he there?" Swara asked him to make sure of his presence.

"No, just left our home" Arya said while looking at Madhav who signed him.

"Bhai, please do me one favour" Swara asked him in requesting tone.

"Tell me Swara, what can I do?" Arya said inorder to hear Madhav about Swara whom he was talking on call. Madhav signed and settled on sofa.

"Please delete all information about Vihaan in your company or keep it confidential. I know Sanskar won't sit without doing anything and he will try every possible way to reach him so" Swara asked him.

"Don't worry, I have already done it. You don't need to worry" Arya said with smile by making Swara sign in relief. Later Swara talked with other family and hung up.

Sanskar reached hotel and sunk on sofa with tired face. He took out his mobile and called Karl.

"Karl, I need every information about Vihaan at any cost. I don't know how you will dig about him but I need at any cost" Sanskar said and cut the call and then threw mobile on bed frustratedly.

"Why, I am feeling frustrate over about this matter. He is no more on the earth and why am I feeling insecure about him? I know Arya called me by Vihaan's name but what they are trying to hide?" Sanskar said while scratching his hairs frustratedly.

"Ohh God! Please" Sanskar said and closed his eyes in frustration to get some relaxation but he didn't know when sleep took over him. He woke up at early morning by his mobile ringtone. He lazily opened his eyes and found himself still on sofa and then tried to find his mobile. He saw it was on bed and took it but it got cut and then again started to ring.

"Hello" He said after receiving.

"Sir, your flight is at 11 am and we need to leave by 9 am so called to inform you" Priya told him and Sanskar looked at time and it was showing 8 am already.

"Ok, you wait in breakfast table and I will join you in 10 minutes" Sanskar said and cut the call. He checked for Swara's message but didn't found and felt disappoint because he didn't talk with her since yesterday afternoon or no message from her. He thought to call her but shrugged it because he wanted to surprise them by going there directly. Later he went to get ready to leave for airport.

It was around 2.30 pm when Sanskar reached home and entered inside. He found his both mother's were at dining table and looked around to find others and understood that everyone might be went to their respective work. He badly wanted to see Swara but got sad by thinking that she must be in office.

"Mom, Maa" Sanskar called while coming near them.

"Sanskar" Sujata said by hearing his voice and turned back.
Sujata and Annapurna got up by seeing him.

He hugged his both mothers and broke the hug.

"Mom, I will come after fresh up" Sanskar said and rushed to his room before they could ask him anything.

"Jiji" Sujata looked at Annapurna with sad look.

"Don't worry, he will be fine" Annapurna assured her through her eyes. Sujata signed and looked at the way Sanskar went.

Sanskar opened the door and entered inside while loosening his tie. He kept his bag on sofa and turn to go washroom but found Swara on bed who was sleeping. His eyes widen in happiness but soon it changed into worry by seeing bandage on her head.

"Swara" He gasped in shock and walked hurriedly towards her. He saw her keenly who was sleeping with bandage on forehead. He caressed it slowly and then he rushed outside to his mother.

"Mom, Maa" He rushed downstairs. Sujata and Ap signed knowing as they have expected this and came towards him.

"Mom, what happened to Swara?" He asked worriedly with little fear in his eyes.

"Yesterday, she got late in office and also raining outside so while coming back home, inorder to save old man, she turned her car and it got hit with road divider. Doctor told that not worry and she will be fine in two days" Sujata said with calm seeing anxious face.

"Then why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Sanskar asked them with questionable look.

"Swara only stopped us because she knew you would have come late night only and would be worried also" Annapurna told him.

Sanskar scratched his hairs in frustration.

"Karl" Sanskar got angry by remembering something.

He called Mark immediately.

"I told you to take care of Swara and Naira then where you would have been leaving her to drive alone at night?" Sanskar blurted out on him in anger.

"Sir, Mam denied me to drive and asked me to go home though how much I insisted but mam wouldn't listen" Karl said in fear tone by hearing his boss angry tone. Sanskar shut his eyes in anger.

"Sanskar, Karl only called us to inform about Swara. He didn't leave her alone but following her" Sujata said while keeping her hand in his shoulder.

"She is fine, don't worry. You get fresh up and come down to have lunch" Sujata told him.

"Mom, I don't want anything and just send me one glass of milk to room" Sanskar said and went back to his room. He entered inside his room and saw Swara's sleeping figure. He came near her and settled beside her but keeping little distance so that he couldn't disturb her sleep.

"What you did to yourself Swara?" Sanskar whispered while caressing her bandage. He bent and kissed her forehead over bandage. Swara who felt something on her forehead, tried to open her eyes. Sanskar quickly backed off by sensing her opening eyes. Swara opened her eyes and saw Sanskar who was staring at her with deeply.

"Sanskar, when you came?" Swara asked him.

"Now only" Sanskar replied. Swara tried to sit and Sanskar helped her.

"What's the need to work late night that too in office. You could have done it in home right?" Sanskar asked her but it anger could be seen in his tone..

"Contest is on next week so we had so much work left to do, that's why I left behind to finish soon, sorry" Swara said making apologetic face.

"I just went out one day and you did this yourself" Sanskar said himself while angry over himself and got up from bed.

"Sanskar, I am sorry. I won't do like this" Swara said in pleading tone. Sanskar looked at her and didn't say anything and then left to washroom. Swara looked at his retreating figure disappointedly.

"What to do now? His anger always on nose tip. Chalo Swara, let pacify your husband" Swara said with sign and closed her eyes being tired.

Swara opened eyes with startle by hearing mobile ring and saw the unknown number. She received it after thinking a bit.

"Hello" Swara said as soon as she received.

"Hello darling, how are you? I heard you met with an accident yesterday night" Swara was numb by hearing opposite voice and her forehead started to sweat in fear. She was too shocked to react with sudden call which she has forgotten for some time.

Sanskar who came out from closet, saw Swara who was looking pale and sweating and then he moved towards her by seeing her silent. He saw her who was sitting without reaction while holding mobile. He got confused and took mobile from her hand and then looked for called id but it was from unknown number so without a second he put on speaker.

"Darling, I got to know that, you aren't in your mansion. Where are you staying now or you went somewhere?" Sanskar fisted his hand by hearing him and his jaw became thick in anger. He was going to reply but before that Swara put her hand on his mouth. It was too quick to understand for Sanskar who looked at her. Swara was standing on her knees on bed. Swara who came into sense and saw Sanskar who was going to say something but before that she stopped him. She nodded her head in no and composed herself before talking with him. She realised her hand on his mouth and removed quickly and then sat on bed again.

"Who are you?" Swara asked him with little courage.

"Your would be husband, darling" He said in creepy tone while laughing making Sanskar burn in anger by listening his creepy tone and nonsense talk .

"That in your dream Mr. Tell me who are you first otherwise I will file police complaint against you" Swara said with confident tone and looked at Sanskar who was trying to control his anger. He quickly took out his mobile and typed something and then kept it inside pocket.

"To file police complaint, first you should know about me, who I am?" Both heard laughing voice.
Sanskar signed her to keep talking for bit so that it would be helpful for him to trace his number.

"Do you think, you are alien so that we couldn't reach you?" Swara asked him in sarcastic tone.

"You are a just living animal on earth and it's not a big problem to find you" Swara said with little bit angry tone.

"Find me then I will agree with you. Till then bye bye sweet heart" He said and cut the call before Swara say something.

"How dare he to call and talk like this. I will bury him next moment if I find him" Sanskar said throwing mobile on bed angrily and scratched his hairs in frustration.

"Sanskar, please calm down" Swara said with low tone by seeing his angry, frustrated face.

His mobile started to ring and he immediately picked up by knowing that it was from Karl.

"Yes Karl, did you trace him?" Sanskar asked him in impatient tone.

"No sir, we lost connection at last moment" Karl said in apologetic tone. Sanskar closed his eyes to control his anger.

"Karl, I will send one recording and you try to match voice with all our employees and business partners. I am sure he might be among us and keeping eye on us" Sanskar said after opening his eyes.

"Ok sir" Karl said and cut the call.

Sanskar turned and looked at Swara who was already looking at him.

"Sanskar, I am scared. What if he does something to you? I know it doesn't take a time for him to know about us" Swara said in fearful tone.

"Swara, relax. He can't do anything to us. I promise you and I won't anything happens to you both" Sanskar said while sitting infront of her and held her hands in his both hands while assuring her.

She just put her head on his shoulder with closed eyes. Sanskar just held her through shoulder to comfort her.

"I know Sanskar. If he is observing every move of me then it won't take a time to know about us. I am afraid for you Sanskar. I don't want to loose you again. I survived last time because of Naira but this time if anything happens to you then I won't be able to live without you both. God! Please keep them safe" Swara prayed in her mind.
