Once Again
Part 2

Its been 4 days since she said she want to relive the moments which they spent together, she want to remember each and every second of her life spend with him, she want to feel the love brewing between them again.

No one can be more happy then him at that moment, when she took a step forward to trust him, to ask him to make her live those moments again with him, to make her fall in love with him ONCE AGAIN, not lying he expected the worst output of her coming to home, as Dadi has forced her to go with him because of society and he thought she will blame him again and will hate him, but her words at that moment was nothing less than a shock which he will want every minute of his life.

She forgave him and trusted him enough yet again just like first time. The only difference is at that time she make him come out of the darkness of his baseless revenge, but this time this was darkness which was due to loneliness that wrapped him from every side. She became his light Again.

Without remembering anything about them but she make the first beautiful memory of them relive together again with meant Trust.

Sanskar was seen moving out of the house dressed up in formals with his laptop bag in his hand and was talking to someone on phone about some important meeting.

He was about to step out of the house when he heard her voice stopping him.

"Sanskar.." she called him from back and smiled when he stopped at the entrance itself even listening to her ever low voice which she doubted if she was able to hear it clearly.

He turned around and saw her fidgeting her fingers nervously but had a smile on her face, he too smiled seeing her and after cutting the call went towards her.

She on feeling him near her, she looked up at him and smiled brighter seeing him smiling while he just raised his brow asking 'what happened' the reason why she stopped him.

"All The Best." She wished him with her beautiful smile, as she saw him tensed for the project in last 4 days, he was very much busy and also she is aware that it is quite important for the company as she thought.

"Thank You." He said and stepped forward to kiss her forhead but stopped in middle realising her condition and just side hugged her. He is happy that unknowingly she wished him for the project which he started for her, The musical school, the thought of which gave him relief in her absence and it was only thing which made him feel her near to him, but now he wanted to complete it as a gift for her and giving his best in this.

He came out of his thoughts when she moved back and said him 'bye' and he too left murmering the same to her.

Swara made herself comfortable with everyone in the family in last 4 days, she felt it as home and never felt awkward, they treated her good and made her believe as a part of their family just like a daughter. Yes she came here many times before too but as Ragini's sister and they treated her well but coming as the Daughter in law of the house, made it all different. Not lying, she didnt expected all of them to accept her so wholeheartedly even knowing how she behaved with Sanskar, somewhere down the line she too feel guilty for trusting Sahil over Sanskar.

Night

Sanskar came out of the washroom and saw her standing looking at the stars, this is her favourite hobby from last few days, asking answers for her unsaid questions, it is not easy for her to live here, when every single thing of the room screams for her as she know them, but still she cant be able to remember anything, the blurry images are also not present but only odour of something known in the room, their room. She can feel an unknown fragrance of the love but cant make it out.

"Swara" he called her once reaching near her just standing an inch away while she just hmmed not turning around as his hot breathes were fanning on her neck sending shivers down her spine and she felt weak in her knees, suddenly her breathe started to rise and she clutched her night dress in her fists.

He noticed her change of behaviour, heard his heavy breathes and saw her clutching her dress, he immediately stepped back not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable around him and called her again.

As soon as he stepped back, she felt as she is at loss, their small proximity affected her in every way, still she can feel her heart beats but there was no sign of uncomfort on her side, but looked like she was under his spell.
She opened her closed eyes hearing him calling her again and this time turned around facing him.

"Swara.. yeh.(this)." Sanskar stammered with words holding a gift pack in his hands, he know she accepted them to give a chance but still he dont want to make her uncomfortable so is unable to form words. He realised how much he want to talk her non-stop like before, but knowing it will take time, he put a break on his thoughts and took a deep breathe.

Swara saw the gift packet in his hands and got to know maybe brought it for her, she even observed his change of expressions and understood how must he be feeling seeing his wife standing in front of him, the one whom he loves the most, but he cant say a word to her without hesitating. She thought something and smiled.

"Mere liye.?(For me?)" She asked taking the gift in her hands with her twinkling eyes, still the same for gifts, he thought and shook his head.

He nodded in a 'yes' and saw her lips curving more upwards, he too smiled seeing her. She was about to open the wrapper but stopped herself and looked at him, while he fornwed seeing her stopping.

"How can I take gift from a stranger?" She asked looking at him, while he felt his whole world turned upside down, he stumbled back hearing the word 'Stranger' from her mouth.

Is he nothing more than a stranger to her?

He thought, Swara immediately bit her lower lip realising her word and how it sounded like and seeing his expressions she felt really guilty.

"No  no no.." she immediately said holding his hand, "I mean you are hesitating so much for a small thing, dont worry Sanskar, I am not uncomfortable with you. I trust you I know you wont do anything to me and I know how much tough it is for you, and I dont know but I cant see you like this, so we can start it properly not with this akwardness between." She said and hearing her words, he felt at the top of the world listening she cant see him in this condition, and his frown changed into a bright smile.

"So can we be friends?" She asked forwarding her hand to him, he looked at her and then at her, his heart swell with happiness.

"Friends, Again." He kept his hand in hers and shook it. For her it was first time, but for him it was bliss to remember the first time and now living again.

"Now Wait." She said removing her hand and then tore the wrapper in just one turn and opened the gift.

Her eyes shine seeing his gift and she smiled brightly telling how much she loved it.

"Pasand achi hai tumhari." She said caressing the suit in lovingly, her eyes still stuck at it.

" Achi nahin bahut achi hai tabhi toh tumhe pasand kea hai." He replied flirting with her.

Hearing his words, she snapped her eyes up and a blush appeared on her face hearing him and also feeling his intense gaze on her.

She again looked down not able to look in his eyes for a long time while he smiled seeing it and suddenly it stuck him what just happened.

Just again as the past, unintentionally, making him believe that everything will be fine soon.

Next Day

It is Lohri today and everyone is busy from the morning doing preparations, with Sanskar asking about her and taking her care every now and then, making sure she dont stress herself much and she was all the time smiling at him and was feeling blessed seeing his love and care for herself.

In evening,

Everyone was present outside around the place checking last minute preparations and talking to the guests.

Sanskar was all dressed looking ever handsome was talking to few guests when he heard the voice of anklets, her anklets, and he turned immediately towards the source without taking a second, as he have not seen her from last 45 minutes being busy in dressing up she forgot him and he was sulking like a child to see her, while everyone was pulling him for some and other work.

But now she is all present in front of him, looking ever beautiful in that pink suit of her's which he gifted her last night, he smiled seeing her in his gift and smiled even more when she looked more beautiful then he have imagined her to look.

"Beautiful." He whispered seeing her, lost in her, while she made her way towards him with a plate of til in her hands distributing all around, finally reaching near him and smiled brightly hearing his compliment and blushed a little seeing the way he was gawking at her.

Soon, everyone became busy with pooja, Swasan did it together with a smile around the fire lit up in centre, then everyone danced on the beats of dhol enjoying to the fullest.

After this, guests dispersed and having dinner all went to their room and slept after changing being tired of all the work.

To be continued..
