Sanskar: "Swarraaaa! Swaaraaaaaa.." he screamed trying to find his wife.

Swara then walked out of the washroom wearing her royal blue lehnga with golden blouse drying her hair.

Swara: "What? Why do you keep screaming Sanskar?!" She asked.

Sanskar: "I was worried I couldn't find you for sometime."

Swara: "Well maybe if you weren't busy flirting with those girls then you'd see me." She said angrily and sat down in front of the dresser getting ready.

Sanskar sighed and stood next to the dresser staring at his wife who was burning in jealousy.

Sanskar: "You know they were just telling me about what dance performances they were going to be doing." He said while folding his arms across his chest.

Swara: "Yeah so go and listen to them. You seemed to be having a wonderful time with them anyways." She said ignoring him and doing her makeup.

Sanskar: "Well... if you say so... I think I will go. I really did like them. Especially the foreign one she was so hot." He said with a smirk and turned acting as if he was leaving.

Swara abruptly got up and held his arm jerking him backwards which made Sanskar smile. He chuckled when she tightened her grip.

Sanskar: "What? You told me to go na?" He innocently asked.

Swara: "Sanskar stop it. I don't like it when other girls are that close to you." She said with a stern tone.

Sanskar: "Ok... for that you have to let them know that I am already yours, but what can I do when your so shy?" He smiled and intertwined his fingers with hers on both hands.

Swara: "Sanskar you are impossible. Why do you try to make everything romantic!?" She said laughing a little.

Sanskar: "What can I do if my wife is so irresistible." He said while putting his arms around Swara's waist and pulling her closer to him.

His actions surprised Swara. She was confused as he was trying to stay away from her for the past couple of weeks but now he himself was pulling her closer. She was happy with his behavior and put her hands around his neck.

Swara: "I think I like this person better than my husband." She said as she leaned by Sanskar's ear and left her hot breath there making him gulp. She smiled seeing his response. She slowly moved back but he pulled her very close to him.

Swara: "Sanskar.... let me go we have to get ready." She said slowly as Sanskar nuzzled his head in the crook of her neck making her feel weak in her legs.

Sanskar smiled and tightened his hold around her supporting her up. He started giving her kisses on her neck. Swara was losing control of herself whereas Sanskar was enjoying. Then suddenly Swara stopped him.

Swara: "Sanskar please everyone is waiting for us downstairs." She said shyly trying to pull away.

However, Sanskar was not ready to let go. He picked his head up and started giving kisses to Swara's jaw prompting her to tighten her hands on him. He then touched his forehead with hers and they stared into each other's eyes. He slowly leaned in and placed his lips over Swara's and started to kiss her softly. Swara couldn't take it anymore and pulled him closer and kissed back with more intensity. Sanskar reciprocated and they kissed passionately until they heard a loud knock on the door.

Uttara: "Bhabi, Ragini bhabi just reached with Laksh Bhaiya hurry up!"

Swara and Sanskar started at each other still not letting go and smiled wholeheartedly. Sanskar kissed Swara on the lips once more and then left a long kiss on her forehead.

Sanskar: "I love you." He said staring into her big orbs.

Swara: "I love you more." She then pecked his cheek and quickly fixed her dupatta onto the blouse and left with crimson red cheeks.

Sanskar on the other hand couldn't stop smiling. Everything was finally falling into place and he was content having his life partner with him and healthy. He grabbed the royal blue sherwani Swara had picked out for him and changed quickly to accompany his wife downstairs.

Downstairs
The party guests had arrived and surprised Ragini and Laksh when they walked in. Swara and Sanskar were standing next to each other admiring their siblings entering into a new phase of their lives, parenthood.

Swara walked over to her very pregnant sister and hugged her showing her all the love she has for her soon to come niece/nephew. Ragini too had tears in her eyes. Everyone smiled seeing their sisterly bond.

Ragini: "Swara I am so happy you are with us today. I didn't know what to do without you. I... I really can't live without you." She said getting emotional due to her pregnancy hormones.

Her words did touch all of their family members. They all remembered how they had almost lost their loving bubbly Swara after the accident. Especially Sanskar. He shuddered even at the thought of how hard those days were for him not knowing if Swara would be back or not. He was proud though looking at her today, she had defeated all odds just to come back to him and he wasn't going to let anything or anyone separate them again.

Laksh: "Ragini... please no crying today baby. Look at all the arrangements Swara did for your baby shower." He said to lighten the mood.

Both Swara and Ragini smiled at Laksh and then Swara walked Ragini to the small stage she set up for her to sit on. The function started and all of the ladies adorned Ragini with gifts/fruits.

Uttara: "Ladies and gentleman! It is finally time for the best part of the function, the performances!" She exclaimed.

Everyone had prepared a dance, even Sujata and Annapurna. They both danced and Sujata entertained everyone with her antics. Finally it was Swara and Sanskar's turn. Both of them along with Nikhil and Uttara had decided to perform together on a funny song Bum Bum Bole.

They started dancing alone first and then slowly pulled all of the family members together. Everyone had a blast and were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the baby.

After awhile the party ended and everyone proceeded to their respective rooms after bidding farewell to Sumi, Shekar, and Uttara's in-laws.

Ragini & Laksh's Room
Laksh carefully walked Ragini to the bed and made her comfortable.

Ragini: "Laksh can you believe our baby will be with us in such less time?" She said in excitement and nervousness.

Laksh: "I am so excited Ragini. Thanks for giving me such happiness that I didn't even know existed." He said holding her hand in his and kissing it.

Ragini: "Laksh I love you."

Laksh: "I love you too baby." He kissed her and they both went to bed after the tiring day.

Swara & Sanskar's Room
Swara was waiting eagerly for Sanskar to come upstairs. She had already worn her night clothes and he was taking his sweet time. She walked to the balcony reminiscing all of the events that occurred in the past year. Getting thrown out, separating from Sanskar, the accident, everything. Tears strolled down her cheeks thinking about how she left her Sanskar alone when he needed her the most. By this time Sanskar had walked to the balcony with two cups or warm coffee. He placed the coffee on the table and looked at his wife and sighed.

Sanskar: "Swara... what are you doing?" He said wiping her tears.

Swara held his hands and looked at him with so much respect and love in her eyes.

Swara: "Sanskar... I don't deserve you. You're so perfect. I... I can't believe I blamed you for Laksh's disappearance and le.. left you. If only I had been by your side we wouldn't have had to face all of this..." she started crying again.

Sanskar pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her head.

Sanskar: "Sssshhh. Swara calm down. Stop please. Whatever happened is done and over and what matters most is that we are together now... stronger than ever." He said and wiped her tears again. "Now let's have some of my famous handmade coffee." He said as he walked her to the sofa on the balcony.

He sat down next to her and they started sipping the coffee. They joked and talked about the time they spent together during their fake marriage. Sanskar was mesmerized seeing his wife finally smile and laugh whole heartedly. Swara noticed him staring and their eyes locked. They were longing for each other.

Sanskar picked up Swara and she sat in his lap. He kissed her eyes, then her cheeks, and then her lips. She reciprocated with equal intensity. The kiss quickly turned from a slow kiss to a passionate kiss with longing desires. During the kiss they didn't want to let each other go. They pulled each other closer until there was no space in between them. Without stopping the kiss, Swara started to unbutton Sanskar's shirt and helped him take it off. She started roaming her hands around his toned chest. She smiled during the kiss feeling him. He realized this and pulled apart from the kiss. He got up and picked her up bridal style while she buried her face into his chest.

He walked to the bed and gently placed her down but she abruptly pulled him on top of her not wanting to let him go. She started kissing him again and while doing so rolled over him. She started kissing him on his chest marking him as hers. She roamed her hands all over him. He had enough of her torture and took her night shirt off quickly. He then rolled on top of her holding her hands above her head and started giving her wet kisses on her neck. He was biting her marking her as his. She was enjoying the painful pleasure he was giving her. He then moved down and started kissing her everywhere and not leaving a single spot on her unmarked by his touch. Soon all of their clothes were discarded and they were bare to each other under their comforter. She moaned his name throughout the night as they made love to each other multiple times expressing how much they had missed each other and how much they love each other. Sleep didn't take over them till the morning. She cuddled close to him afterwards and hugged him to sleep. He smiled and was at peace with her in his embrace sleeping contently.
