Chapter-20
**First Kiss**

Swara was sitting and admiring the decorations when she felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned back and was shocked to see the person.

"I am back. Missed me?" asked the person.

"Y-O-U?" Swara managed to speak.

Swara smiled and ran to the person and hugged him.

"Where were you Laksh? I missed you very much," Swara cried.

"Swara, it's almost a month. Where were you? Uttara called me the day I left and said that you were missing. Where were you? How are you? I saw the news about you, Sanskar Maheswari and Sahil Sen Gupta. Is everything alright? Come, let's go home. Everyone is waiting for you," Laksh said.

Just then his eyes fell on her mangalsutra and sindoor.

"Swara! Are you married?" Laksh asked. Saying that he was shocked would be an understatement.

Swara just nodded her head in response.

"When? Why? How?" Laksh asked.

"Laksh, relax. I will tell you everything," Swara said.

"Tell me. I am curious to know what happened in my absence," Laksh said.

Swara told him everything, starting from Sahil's torture till her marriage with Sanskar.

"Swara, you don't have to live with Sanskar anymore. You will come with me to my house. I won't let you stay here. I will talk with the lawyer regarding your divorce," Laksh said.

"No, Laksh. Sanskar is my husband. I can't divorce him," Swara said.

"But why? He gave you so much pain," Laksh said.

"I want to give a chance to our relationship. He is already putting efforts for us", Swara said.

"But Swara.." Laksh said.

Suddenly Laksh's hand was pulled away from Swara's making Swara fall on the floor. From her blurred vision, she could see Sanskar punching Laksh.

"How dare you touch my wife?" Sanskar yelled.

Swara tried to get up, but instead, she stumbled on the floor. Her eyes started to close. She tried to keep them open. Her lips tried to call Sanskar.

"Sanskar..." she whispered and closed her eyes.

♡♡♡

Swara blinked and opened her eyes, scanning the surroundings. She tried to get up, but she winced in pain when her back pained. She saw Kabir sleeping on the couch. She tried to call him but her throat was dry.

She coughed vigorously. Kabir got up immediately and handed her a glass of water. She quickly took it and gulped it.

"How are you feeling now?" Kabir asked.

"I am fine," Swara replied with a small smile. "How am I here?"

"Sanskar brought you here. Last night you passed out at the party. Sanskar was very worried about you," he said.

"It is strange. He was worried about me but he wasn't here. Where is L... Laksh?" she asked.

"Don't worry. Your friend is fine. And by the way, Sanskar was sitting next to you all night. He just left a few minutes ago because of some work. You take rest. I will ask Geeta Aunty to give you your breakfast," he said and went out.

Swara got up from the bed to go to the washroom. She hissed in pain when she put pressure on her feet to stand up.

Sanskar came out of nowhere and quickly scooped her in his arms, not caring about the loud gasp and her tight grip on his shirt. He gently placed her on the bed.

"Don't get up. If you want something, call Geeta Aunty or Kabir," he said.

"Why can't I call you?" her inner voice asked.

But she slowly nodded her head and waited for him to go out.

Geeta Aunty came with a tray of breakfast. She helped Swara to the washroom. Swara came out wearing a blue kurta. She thanked Geeta Aunty for her help.

♡♡♡

Swara's POV:

Three days had passed since that day but I hadn't seen him. I always waited for him for dinner but he always came back, passed me a look and walked away ignoring me as if I was invisible.

Durga Maa! Why did he have to be like this? Would he ever change?

"Only you can change him," Kabir's words echoed in my ear.

I saw Geeta Aunty coming back with a sad face and an untouched plate of food. It had been happening for the last three days. Geeta Aunty always took food to his room but he never ate.

What was wrong with him? Why was he behaving like that?

"Kabir, what is wrong with him? Why has he locked himself up in his room?" I asked Kabir.

"Just some business problem. But it's better if you stay out of it," Kabir replied.

"But he hasn't eaten anything in the last three days," I am starting to worry about him.

"He always does this when he gets angry," Kabir replied sadly.

I took up the plate of breakfast and went up to his room.

"Don't go Swara. He is not in a good mood right now," Kabir warned me.

With a heavy heart, I went up to his room. On reaching the room, I knocked on it. But I received no answer. I knocked again, but again no response. So, I pushed the door open and went in. I placed the plate on the table. I looked around the room but he wasn't there. I shifted my gaze to find him smoking on the balcony.

"Sanskar?" I called him.

He looked at me but then again turned back while smiling.

Wait! Was he smiling? Was Sanskar Maheswari smiling? Unbelievable! But why was he smiling?

"Sanskar?" I called him again.

That time he did not look at me but continued smiling.

What was wrong with him?

"Sanskar?" I yelled.

"I know you are not here. When I will touch you, you will disappear again ... like always," he said.

Why would I disappear? I was sure he had gone mad.

Wait! Was he hallucinating? Yes, definitely he was.

"Sanskar?" I shook him.

He looked at me with wide, shocked eyes.

"Are you really here?" he asked.

"Yes," I replied.

He brought up his hand and touched my cheek.

"Shit!" he cursed slowly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he growled.

He looked dangerous. His eyes were furrowed in anger and holding a raging storm. With each step that he took forward, I moved one back. My heart had started hammering in my chest, threatening to break free. Finally, there was no place to go back to. I mentally cursed myself when my back hit the wall. His masculine scent engulfed me into hordes and I had to almost stop myself from sniffing more of it.

Why was I being such a creep?

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I... uh... I... came.." I stammered.

I looked into his eyes. There was a fire in them, anger and... lust.

"I brought you dinner," I told him.

Thank God I didn't stammer.

''Why?" he asked.

"You didn't come down and everyone was worried about you," I replied, looking down.

"Are you worried?" he asked me.

I looked up into his eyes. His hands were pressing my wrists.

"I think I asked you something. Are you worried about me?" he asked.

"Yes," I blurted out.

His hands cupped my cheeks. I looked up into his eyes and before I could say a word, his head dipped down and he captured my lips in a kiss. His lips collided with mine both soft and hard at the same time. His hands hooked around my waist, pulling me deeper into his chest as his tongue trailed along my lips, leaving a wet, searing trail in their wake. My arms automatically wrapped around his neck, pulling him even closer. And when we finally pulled away, we were breathless.

He kissed me? We kissed? My first ever kiss!
