Chapter-14
**Marry Me**

"Sanskar, stop. I want to talk to you," Kabir yelled from behind. 

But Sanskar ignored him and continued walking. 

"I said stop. I need to talk to you about something important," Kabir again shouted.

"Kabir, I am busy," Sanskar replied. 

"It's about Sahil Sen Gupta," Kabir said.

Sanskar stopped walking and turned back to Kabir. 

"What about him?" Sanskar asked.

"You were busy, right?" Kabir frowned.

"Cut the crap, Kabir. Just tell me what you know about him."  Sanskar said.

"Not here," said Kabir. 

"Come to the study," Sanskar walked off to the study with Sanskar following him.

"Why are you doing this?" Kabir asked.

"Doing what?" Sanskar asked.

"Why are you doing this with Swara?" Kabir asked.

His muscles tensed at her name and his jaws clenched.

"What am I doing with her? Nothing. I am doing nothing with her and moreover, she hates me," Sanskar replied. 

"And you? Do you hate her too?" Kabir smirked. 

"Why the hell are you smirking?" Sanskar asked in anger.

"Nothing, if you hate her then why are you forcing her to stay with you?" Kabir asked.

Sanskar remained silent because he had no answer to the question.

"Leave that topic. What do you know about Sahil?" Sanskar asked.

"I am your business partner, not your personal informer," Kabir said with attitude. 

"Speak up, Kabir," Sanskar said in a loud voice. 

"Okay fine. I am. I told Nikhil to keep an eye on Sahil and Nikhil informed me that he got released from jail today and he is planning to take revenge on Swara," Kabir said.

"How dare that bastard to think like this? I will not leave him alive," Sanskar roared.

"Calm down! It's not a small issue. Sahil and Swara have some deep connections. A few years back, Swara was engaged to Sahil, but due to some reason, their engagement was called off. I just know this. I think we should ask Swara more about it," Kabir suggested.

"But why will she tell me? She hates me. Why will she share her secrets with me?" Sanskar said. 

Sanskar's POV:

My blood boiled to the level where the veins near my forehead popped slightly.

I cannot let anyone harm Swara!

I came back to my room and took a quick shower, relaxing my muscles under it. I wore my jeans and shirt and went down to the kitchen.

I saw Swara smiling at a bird outside. I couldn't understand the feeling which overtook me when I saw her smile like that. How can she find happiness in everything that she gets? She is indeed something else.

As she saw me, her smile disappeared. Why does she have to make a sad face when she sees me?

She quickly went to the kitchen and hid behind Geeta Aunty, who was cooking something.

I smiled at her antics!

Geeta Aunty served breakfast on the table, but Swara was still in the kitchen.

"Swara, come have your breakfast," I said.

She looked at Geeta aunty, and aunty signalled her to have her breakfast. She came and sat three chairs away from me.

Does she think that she can escape by ignoring me?

"Good morning," Kabir wished her and sat beside her.

"Good morning," Swara smiled and wished him back.

Why can't she smile at me?

I felt jealous when I saw Kabir sitting next to Swara. I felt angry but when I saw her innocent smile, my anger subsided.

I never cared about any girl in my life. But this girl has made a hurricane in my life since I met her. Her innocence makes me lose myself in her. Her dark eyes seem to hide a deep pain in them, the pain which I want to erase. The way she smiles makes me happy. Her innocence is like an untouched flower. The way she looks at me makes me excited. I feel like protecting her from the dirty world. I want to cage her in my arms so that she won't be able to escape.

Swara is all mine!

I turned on the TV to have a look at the news.

I kept on changing the news channel but something caught my ears.

"Swara," I guess I heard this on the TV.

But why would someone take her name on TV? I guess I must be hallucinating.

"Sanskar, press the back button. I guess I heard something," Kabir said.

I immediately did what he asked.

My eyes were red due to anger and I punched the table out of frustration.

"What the hell is this?" Kabir shouted.

The reporter on the TV was talking about Swara. The video which I had sent to her mother was being played on the TV. There were 2-3 people having a discussion about her character. They were bad mouthing her. One of them even called her a prostitute. They were discussing my fight with Sahil.

"We all know that Mr Sanskar Maheswari's reputation is not that great when it comes it girls. It's justified; after all, he's a charming man with needs. But it is very disgusting to see an ordinary girl stoop so low for money. She even tried to lure Mr.Sahil Sen Gupta for money. She is such a characterless girl. Such girls should be given poison and left to die," one of those people spoke.

Kabir turned the TV off. I looked towards Swara, who was crying. She got up from there and ran to her room.

I wanted to run behind her and pacify her, but I could not.

I was the reason behind her tears. If I would not have done that, she would not have been defamed right now. It was all my fault.

"Sanskar, relax," Kabir held my shoulder.

"Why is she suffering because of me? I do not want her to cry," I said.

"Sanskar, you have already made a big mistake. Now you have to rectify it," Kabir said.

I looked at him, trying to figure out what he was saying.

"No, I can't do this," I said.

"This is the best way to save her from character shaming and even save her from that Sahil," Kabir said.

Swara's POV:

I shut my eyes as hard as I could. My eyes were burning because I had been crying for so many hours.

It hurts.

Durga Maa, what sin did I commit to deserve this punishment?

I can't handle it anymore. I want to die.

"Why?" I screamed.

Why is my life so messed up? I always wanted peace in my life. But why is God punishing me? What wrong did I do?

I heard the sound of the doorknob twisting. I looked up and saw Sanskar walking up to me with a plate in his hands. I ignored him and looked the other way.

"Don't cry for me. I don't deserve your tears," he said, and I noticed that I was still crying.

I wiped off my tears.

"Eat your breakfast," he said.

I turned back and walked towards the washroom. He picked me up in bridal style and sat next to me. He brought the plate closer to me and asked me to eat. I turned my face away. He brought the food near my mouth. Still I did not open my mouth.

"Stop being a child and eat," he squeezed my cheeks, opening my mouth.

He shoved the food inside my mouth and his hands were on my lips, preventing me from spitting it out. I wanted him to stop feeding me but I just couldn't; I don't know what was stopping me from stopping him.

"I don't need your fake concern," I yelled at him.

"I don't care whether you think my concern is real or fake," he said.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

He was about to get angry at me. But I was used to it.

"Are you not happy seeing my tears? This is all you wanted, right? To see me hurt?" I yelled.

"Why do you want me? You have already raped me. What more is left? Why don't you go to Kavita. She's the type of girl you deserve and moreover, she is interested in you," I said.

I stopped when I saw his fiery eyes turning red in anger. I gulped down my saliva and my throat went dry.

He kept moving forwards and I kept moving backwards until my back hit the wall. He angrily placed his hands beside my head.

"Now, will you hit me?" I asked as he pulled my hair tightly.

Suddenly, his expression changed. He left my hair. His eyes softened.

"Marry me," he said, looking into my eyes.

"What?" Swara was bewildered by his statement.

Soo done with another chapter. How is it? What do you think Swara will do?

The next chapter is on Wednesday night.
