Radhe Krishna
Let's start....
Sanskar turned back to go inside but stopped by seeing Swara who was standing at balcony door.
"Swara, what are you doing here? You should take rest right?" Sanskar asked her with concern.
"I had enough rest today, I just wanted to take some fresh air so came out. Will you accompany me for 5 minutes?" Swara asked him in requesting tone.
"You don't need to request Swara, just order me" Sanskar said with small laugh.
"Come" He moved towards swing and made her sit on it and then covered her with small comforter so that she couldn't catch cold as it was little chill outside.
Sanskar settled beside her with safe distance. Both sat there while gazing start night without talk. Sanskar was just taking glances of Swara. Se wanted to talk with him by seeing her face which he could read just by seeing it but she didn't seemed to be start the conversation so he initiated the conversation.
"Swara" Sanskar called her softly on which Swara turned towards him.
"Do you want to ask something?" Sanskar asked her making her wonder how did he got to know that she wanted to talk with him.
"Don't be surprised, I got it by seeing you because you asked me to accompany you in this chilly night." Sanskar said making Swara Swara smile.
"I wanted to ask you but not getting how to ask?" Swara said with small chuckle making Sanskar look at her.
"I already told you, no need to hesitate to ask me for anything" Sanskar said again.
"I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Can you stop looking for that unknown caller?" Swara said making Sanskar look at her shockingly.
"I dong want to put your life in danger, Sanskar. I already lost enough so I don't want to loose anyone again" Swara said by reading his mind.
"Swara, nothing is going to happen to anyone. I promise!" Sanskar said with determined tone.
"I afraid of you Vihaan. I don't want to loose you again at any cost" Swara said in her mind.
"Swara, do you trust me right?" Sanskar asked her with hoping eyes while holding her both hands in his making Swara look into his eyes.
"Do you trust me right?" Sanskar asked again not getting any response from her.
"More than anything" Swara said while looking into his eyes truthfully.
"Then you don't need to worry about anything. Leave everything to me and i will take care of it." Sanskar said with small smile.
"But one condition" Swara said with authoritative tone.
"What is that?" Sanskar asked her.
"Give me promise that you don't put yourself in any danger" Swara said while forwarding her hand. Sanskar looked at her for a second.
"Ok promise, I won't put myself in any danger" Sanskar said while putting his hand on her hand. Swara smiled in return and both sat there while gazing at night sku for sometime. Sanskar didn't told her that Sahil was her mother's relative because he didn't want her to live in fear by seeing him everytime as she was going to see him often in Fashion Contest.
"Swara" Sanskar turned while calling because it was getting late but found her sleeping in sitting position. He smiled little and got up from swing. He looked at her who was in deep sleep so he didn't waje her up but slowly lifted her in his arms and carried her inside. He made her lie on bed and covered her with quilt. He closed the balcony door and came inside. He lied on bed and switched off the light.
It's been week, Swara did a lot of hard work and she used to ask suggestions from Sanskar and even Sanskar helped her. It's a big day for Swara as contest was at evening. Sanskar couldn't able to go Darjeeling because of Contest work. He thought to visit after the contest.
Swara and Sanskar was standing at living hall as his both mother's were making them wait.
"Mom" Sanskar called his mother again by seeing tone as he was getting late. Swara chuckled by seeing his irritating face.
"Mumma" Naira came runjjngvtowards Swara.
"Yes baby" Swara picked her up in her arm making Naira smile.
"Munna, all the best" Naira said making Swara surprised.
"Who told you that?" Swara asked her with surprised tone.
"Papa told me yesterday only" Naira said making Swara smile.
"Thank you baby" Swara said kissing her cheeks while eyeing Sanskar.
"Papa" Naira extended her hands to Sanskar who picked her up with smile. His face changed into relaxation by seeing Naira
Sujata came while holding sweet curd in her hand.
"Swara" She forwarded spoon full of sweet curd infront of Swara. Swara's eyes filled with tears by remembering about past. Sujata got worried by seeing her teary eyes.
"Swara what happened?" Sujata asked her with concern.
"No mom, it's just that I remembered something" Swara said while wiping her corner of eyes. She opened her mouth to eat and Sujata fed her happily.
"Dadi, for Papa?" Naira asked her making Sujata look at her.
"For me, why? Today is Mumma's day only" Sanskar said with confused tone.
"You forgot so soon. Yesterday you told that winner will choose the company to collaborate for their next work so you are also participating in that contest right?" Naira said making all amused by her answer.
"Yes, you are right" Sanskar said with smile and Sujata fed both Sweet curd making all smile.
Swara was instructing her team and telling them something. She got new message and opened to see as it was from Sanskar.
"All the best" Swara read Sanskar's message and smiled.
"Ok princess Mumma and Papa will get late today so you be with Dadi or Bhua" Sanskar said while making her stand on sofa.
"Ok Papa, you don't worry, I will take care of myself and you take care yourself and mumma also" Naira said making all smile.
"Sure princess" Sanskar said kissing her forehead and both bid bye to all.
"God! Please keep them always like this. I am seeing this smile on his face because of Swara and Naira." Sujata prayed in her mind.
Swara was instructing her team and got new message from Sanskar. She opened message box and read it.
"All the best" Swara smiled by reading it and typed back.
Sanskar who was standing at the front stage with other businessmen opened his mobile by listening beep sound. He opened and read it.
"All the best for you also" Sanskar smiled inwardly by reading it.
Sahil was standing a little bit far from Sanskar. Sanskar looked at him but didn't gave any attention to him. He tried to search about his information in these days but he didn't get any useful information about him which was making Sanskar frustrate but he didn't ignored him because his first suspect was Sahil only.
Sanskar and Sahil took their seat along with other businessmen. Contest started and all renowned fashion houses participated in the contest. It's time for Swara's team and they gave their best. At last all were waiting for the result. Swara was standing at the backside of the stage with tensed face. Sanskar was eagerly waiting for the result more than Swara. Judges hand over the result to host to announce. All were on their toe to listen the result.
"Thank you ladies and gentlemen for being the part of this National level Fashion Contest. All fashion house has performed very well but one team will get the top rank. I know you are eagerly waiting for to listen the who will be the winner so i won't make any delay but before that I would like call Mr. Arnav Agarwal the Head of the Fashion Board to present the award." Host called him and he went to stage.
"Second runner up goes to xxx Fashion House from Mumbai" Host announced making Swara's breath hitched and she was holding her breath while praying to God.
"First runner up goes to YYY Fashion House from Indore" Host announced making all hold their breath
"It's time for winner and the winner is Naira Fashion House from Kolkata" Host announced making Swara him in happiness. Sanskar was beyond happy by listening it. Swara came on stage to receive award. Swara received the award and Sanskar was smiling.
"Ms. Swara, few words please" Host asked her.
"Thank You so much for this award. It's all because of my team hard work and their dedication and also support of my family. I was least expecting to win this competition but I did and its credit goes to the person who is very special for me. Thank you so much once again" Swara said while lifting her tropy.
Swara came to backstage and was going towards her team who was waiting for her including Ragini also. She stopped by hearing as someone called her. Swara turned back to see the person. She stayed while looking at him as it was Sahil Sengupta.
Sahil approached her making Swara look at him.
"Congratulations Ms. Boss" Sahil said while forwarding his hand.
"Thank you Mr. Sengupta. But sorry" She said with tight smile and signed him that her hands were full as she was holding files and trophy.
"It's ok, no problem" Sahil took back his hand while cursing himself for being embarrassed.
"Sorry Mr. Sengupta, my team is waiting for me. Please excuse" Before Sahil could say anything Swara left from there making Sahil more frustrate and angry.
Swara came to her where all were waiting for her.
"Congratulations" Ragini jumped on Swara as soon as she approached them making Swara scared.
"Ragini, you are suffocating me" Swara said still trying to breath in her tight hug.
"Oh sorry, over excitement" Ragini smiled sheepishly making Swara shook her head.
"Ok guys, thank you so much for hard work. Without your effort, our company couldn't able to win this contest and got opportunity to expand our brand to overseas. Thank you so much once again" Swara said with appreciate tone.
"I am giving bonus for this month" Swara said making all happy and all hooted for her.
"Ok, it's already late so you all can take leave now" Swara said by seeing watch.
"Ok mam, thank you" All her team left leaving Swara and Ragini.
"Come, we will drop you home" Swara asked Ragini. Before Ragini could say something Swara heard familiar voice from behind.
"Hello Bhabhi" Swara turned back recognising the voice.
"Laksha, you here?" Swara asked him in surprised tone and then turned towards Ragini with teasing smile.
"Ohh! I think you got invitation from someone" Swara said in teasing tone.
"Not full truth Bhabhi. Why can't I come to see my Bhabhi's hard work?" Laksha asked her with same tone.
"Of course, Laksha" Swara said with smile.
"Bhabhi, call me Lucky like all calls me" Laksha told her making puppy face.
"Ok, Lucky" Swara called while laughing little.
"That's nice" Laksha said with smile.
"Where is Bhai?" Laksha asked her making Swara realise that he didn't come to meet her after the result.
"He might be here somewhere around." Swara said while looking around but found nowhere and instantly she got message to her mobile.
"Come to parking lot"
Swara read Sanskar's message and looked up to see both who were smiling at her teasingly.
"Ok go go. Jiju must be waiting for you" Ragini said teasingly.
"Ok bye" Swara bid bye to both and moved towards parking lot.
Swara reached parking where Sanskar's car was waiting for him. She settled herself in back and looked for Sanskar.
"Bhayya, where is Sanskar?" Swara asked Karl who was sitting in backseat.
"Mam, Sir went to somewhere because of urgent work so asked me drop you home" Karl said making Swara disappoint.
"Shyam, let's go" Karl said and car moved out from parking lot.
Swara reached home and entered inside with tired as well as upset face because she was expecting to get wish from Sanskar but she couldn't able to meet him.
Swara entered absent mindedly but stopped feeling something unusual and looked around to find only dim light.
"Why lights were off, all slept early?" She looked at time and it was showing 11 pm.
"Swara, it's 11 pm and obviously all must be sleeping at this hour" She hit forehead herself and started to move towards her room.
Suddenly she got startled by seeing sudden lights switching on in the main hall and turned to look around and then she heard big clapping sounds of all who coming towards her with big smile on their face.
"Congratulations Bhabhi" Uttara came running and hugged her tightly while wishing.
"Thank You" Swara saif while hugging her back with smile.
"Congratulations beta" DP wished her keeping his hand on her head.
"Thank you Bade Papa" Swara said with smile.
All wished her making Swara happy. Swara's eyes searched for Sanskar but she got bad again not finding him.
"Mumma" Swara heard Naira's voice voice and turned back to see and got surprised as well some kind of relief by seeing them together. Sanskar was holding Naira in his arms and smiling at her. Sanskar moved ahead with Naira and stood infront of Swara.
"Mumma, congratulations" Naira wished her while extending her hands and Swara picked up her from Sanskar.
"Thank you baby" Swara said while kissing her cheeks lovingly.
"Congratulations wifey" Sanskar bent little towards her ear and whispered making Swara's breath hitched in her lungs. Swara looked at Sanskar with surprised look making Sanskar chuckle inside by seeing her.
"Bhabhi" Swara turned hearing Laksha's voice who was pushing cake trolley.
He bought near Swara and Swara got emotional by seeing all. Her eyes became watery.
"Swara beta, what happened?" Sujata asked her with concern.
"No Mom, I became emotional by seeing your love which I deprived from childhood" Swara said being emotional making all sad for her.
"Now, you have all who loves you and supports you. You are not outsider or stranger but you are a daughter of this house like Uttara so obviously your success is our success right? Then how could you think that we won't celebrate with you and be a part of your happiness also" Sujata said lovingly while cupping her cheeks in returned Swara smiled through tears being blessed to get this family.
Sanskar was just watching mother and daughter emotional talk.
"Mumma, let's cut cake now. Papa prepared all this for you, that's why he came early leaving you so that we can give surprise for you" Naira blurted out making Sanskar hit his forehead and Swara got happy by listening her and felt overwhelmed by seeing his love and care.
Swara cut the cake and all fed her. After that Swara, Naira and Sanskar came back to room.
"Swara, you get change and I will make lie her on bed" Sanskar said by seeing sleeping Naira who was sleeping on his shoulder soundly without any worry and disturbance.
Sanskar made Naira lie on bed and sat on sofa while waiting for Swara who went inside to get change.
Swara came after 15 minutes and saw Sanskar who was sitting on sofa while using tab.
"Sanskar, you should have sleep right? It's already late" Swara said while coming near him.
"Yeah, I was about too but got some mails to reply so doing that only" Sanskar said while getting up and closed the tab.
"Sanskar" Swara called him on which Sanskar turned towards her who was going towards bed.
"Thank you so much. Without your help and support, I couldn't able to win this contest" Swara said with grateful tone.
"I did nothing Swara, it's all your hard work, dedication and passion. With your passion and dedication, you won this contest. I did nothing in this" Sanskar said with genuine tone making Swara smile.
"Once again congratulations! It's your first step to reach top. I know you will surely reach top in some years" Sanskar said with small smile.
"Thank you so much and also for this surprise" Swara said with smile.
"Ok, it's geting late so let's sleep now" Sanskar said and moved towards bed. Sara also moved towards her side bed and both lied on bed.
Sanskar slept in no time as he was very tired but sleep was far away from her eyes. She was too happy for winning the contest and most importantly she got the opportunity to work with Sanskar.
"Bhai, you must be happy by seeing us right? See I am going to work with Vihaan, my mentor and my all time inspiration." Swara said herself in mind while staring at sleeping figure of Sanskar.
"Good night Bhai, tomorrow is big day for me and wish me best of luck" Swara prayed in her mind and closed her eyes while hoping for the best.
