Episode 17

Recap: "Swasan journey to Krishna Nagar, Swasan knok-jhok, Swasan forehead scene, teaser part."

Next morning @ Highway

It was about 5 in the morning and they were sleeping under the open sky that too on highway. Birds were chirping melodiously, sun had started spreading it's rays on sky making it look breathtaking. Both our love birds were peacefully sleeping in each other's embrace after a long 4 years. With each passing minutes both cuddles more in each other due to the cold winds of early morning. Soon the time comes that they wake up from their sleep but when they open their eyes, they were shocked finding themselves in each other's embrace.

Swasan: What the Heck??

Both gets up with a jerk and gets down from car bonnet but avoids eye contact with each other. They composed themselves and tries to act normal but whenever they looks at each other, the flashes of their closeness comes in front of them. After few minutes, the silence was break by Swara.

Swara (avoiding eye contact): Ummm...... We should leave and search for some help.

Sanskar (didn't look at her): Yeah!!! Let's go!!!

With this both of them grabs their bags and started walking back to the previous road as the road in which they were was a shortcut where no one comes. That's why no vehicle was to be seen last night nor now. After 25 minutes of walk both reached near the main road and saw some vehicles going here and there in different directions. Sanskar tries to stop some of them but non stops as it was highway. Finally after 15 minutes of trying Swara stops him.

Swara: If you only keep asking for a lift then we'll reach till next year.

Sanskar: Then what should I do??

Swara (hits her forehead): You don't do anything?? Let me do.

Listening her, he becomes confused but before he could understand anything she pushed him aside making him stumbles. He looks towards her direction trying to register what's going on. But what she did next shocks him to the core. She came near vehicles and whistle louder that a truck which was coming stops near her. Sanskar widens his eyes at this and looks towards Swara with open mouth while she in return just smirks at him. She comes near him and whispers.

Swara: That's called the power of a girl Mr Maheshwari.

Listening this he again looks towards her with shock and gulps his Silvia. Swara rocks 😂 Sanskar shocks😰.

Driver: What happened Sir and Madam?? Need any help??

Swara (turn towards him): Yeah!!! Actually our car got some damage and we're not getting any lift here. Please can you give us a lift to Krishna Nagar Bhaiyya.

She asked with a puppy face that he melts making Sanskar angry😡.

Driver: Sure Sis!!! You're welcome. Even I'm going there only.

Swara (with fake excitement): Really!!! Ohh Wow!! Thank you sooooooooo much Bhaiyya.

Saying this she turns towards Sanskar who was glaring her still.

Swara: Ab kia yahin rehne ka irada hai kia?? (Now are you planning to live here only??)

Listening this he again glares her while she just winks at him making him dumb folded 😳. Then she moves at backward of truck followed by him who was making faces at the back of her.

Sanskar: First let me keep the luggage in it.

Swara: Fine!!! Go on!!!

With this she moves aside while he put the luggage on the truck and climbs on it. Later on he forwards his hand towards her. As soon as she holds his hand back, he nearly pulls her upwards but due to sudden push she directly lands on him making both of them to fall in such a way that Swara was above him and he was under her. For a second both were lost in each other and gets back in senses due to the starting of truck. Both composed themselves and settle down in either place. Sanskar had already informed driver to come and take the car.

After about 3 hours

Finally both reached Krishna Nagar. A small city yet a cheering one. They thanks the truck driver and hires a car from showroom. They reached near the hotel where their rooms were booked and goes near receptionist.

Receptionist: Yes Sir!!! How can I help you??

Sanskar: Our rooms were booked here as Mr and Mrs Maheshwari.

Receptionist (while checking the file): Yes Sir!!! A room is booked here as Mr and Mrs Maheshwari.

Swara (snapped out): Wait a minute!!! Did you just said 'a room.'

Receptionist (confused): Yes Ma'am!!!

Sanskar (horrified): How can this be possible???

Receptionist: Why?? Is there any problem Sir??

Swara (quickly): Of course yes!!!

Sanskar eyes her to be quite for something and let him handle.

Sanskar: Yes there is a problem!!! It must be two room's booking. Please check once again.

Receptionist (checking once again): No Sir!!! Only one room booking is there. But what happened?? Aren't you both husband and wife??

Hearing him Swasan looks at each other for a while with painful eyelock and then at him.

Sanskar (trying to be strong): No we are not!!! You misunderstood!!! We were never husband and wife.

He said all this looking at Swara who bows down her head, not able to meet his gaze.

Sanskar: We're just family members nothing else.

Receptionist: Ohh!!! I'm really sorry for this mistake Sir. I guess I misunderstood hearing a booking on the name of Mr and Mrs Maheshwari. Even though I got the order for booking two rooms. I thought they mistakingly said this. Really sorry for the inconvenience.

Sanskar: It's alright!!! Do one thing!!! Book another room on the name of Mrs Maheshwari.

Receptionist (while checking the file again): I'm sorry Sir!!! All rooms are booked today. No room is left.

This made Swasan shocked to the core. They looks at each other worriedly and then at him.

Swara: What do you mean by no room is left??? Please check once again.

Receptionist: Ma'am I've checked all the rooms but no room is available. All are booked.

Now Swasan again looks at each other. They sign each other to come out. After reaching out Swara started speaking.

Swara: I can't stay here!!!

Sanskar: I know!!! I can't believe how can this happen??

Swara: Now what would we do???

Sanskar: I don't know!!! There's even no other hotel here.

Swara: Now where will I stay then???

Now both started thinking but nothing came in their mind. Being helpless Sanskar said something which shocks her to the core.

Sanskar: We can share a room!!!

Swara (snapped her head 😰): What!!!???

Sanskar: We've no other choice!!!

She tries to say something but nothing came in her mind. She was all blank, not knowing what to do. After few minutes of thinking, being helpless she agrees.

Swara: Fine!!!

Sanskar (astonished but didn't show): OK then let's go!!!

With this both comes inside the hotel.

Sanskar: Give us the keys of the room.

Receptionist: You sure Sir!!! Is ma'am comfortable??

Swara: Now we've to share only cause right now we've no place to go.

Receptionist: OK then here's the key!!!

Saying this he handover the key to them. After taking the key both goes from there. As soon as they leaves the receptionist takes out his phone and calls someone.

Receptionist: Works done!!! Make sure that my money reach on time.

O.P: You don't worry about that!!! You've done the work and now you'll get the reward.

With this both hangs up the call.

*****

Other Side @ an deserted area

A same hooded man is shown sitting on chair after hanging up the call.

H.M: Finally you got in the trap Swara!!! Cause of you I've bear a lot. You separated me from my love and I separated you from all your love ones. It's payback time dear.

Saying this he started laughing madly. Twirling around is chair.

*****

@ suite

Swasan came in their room. They still were awkward to see each other due to this matter. After unpacking the bag and keeping them in wardrobe Swara went in washroom to change while Sanskar changed in room only.

Sanskar's POV:-

What's happening here?? Since the day I came back India, I'm trying hard to control myself but whatever is happening in my surrounding is making me confuse. Firstly this Swara's strange behavior, then that man, now unintentionally this sudden closeness between me and her. Once Uttara's wedding gets over then I'll leave as soon as possible.

POV Ends

*****

Inside Washroom

Swara was dressed in bathrobe and was standing in front of mirror and was lost in herself.

Swara's POV:-

What's this all happening?? The more I'm trying to go away from him, to hate him. The more destiny is making me go towards him. If this continues then how I'll be able to look forward. No I've to get rid of it as soon as possible. We're not meant to be nor I'll ever let it happen. All I want is Ragini's safety and nothing else. Now my everything is just Siddhart and no one, not even him. Even though whatever happens, I can't let him took control over me again.

POV Ends

With determination she composed herself and comes out changing her clothes.

*****

In Room

As soon as she comes out, there eyes met. Both looks at each other with painful eyelock. Old memories flashed in front of their eyes. Today also the situation was same as before. Two souls joined hands with each other to prove their innocence. Two souls bounded by a sacred relationship called Marriage. Two souls lives under one roof yet apart from each other. He was sitting on couch doing nothing but just staring at those hazel eyes in which once he saw love for him but later got nothing but a big betrayal. She came towards bed and sits just in front of him. Both continues their eyelock. Like their faces, their eyes were also blank yet they conveys lots of emotion. Swara's eyes shows hurt that why can't he understand what's inside her while Sanskar's eyes shows pain & pleads, that why did she do this with him. Both were trying to convey their message to each other but they're unable to speak even a word. Two souls are in pain yet again, a pain of losing each other forever, a pain of their broken trust, a pain of helplessness, a pain of betrayal.

{Aj ro Len de song from movie '1920 London'}

Aaj ro len de ve jee bharke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke ve jaaniya

All he wanted to do right now was to cry out all his heart and ask her why did she do this with him.

Mera zakhm-e-dil hara karde
Iss gham ki ab dawa karde
Nazron ko ba-wafa karde ve jaaniya

Both lies on their own place but sleep was far away from them, they were doing nothing but just staring the ceiling blankly. Even now also he wanted to gesture her through his eyes to just heal his broken heart and say that she loves him and he promise that he'll believe her even if it's a lie.

Aadat hai teri
Ya tera nasha hai
Kaise bataaun tujhko rehbara

She was feeling immense pain in her heart just thinking of those chocolate brown eyes which once shows extreme and unconditional love for her but today all she saw was just hurt, plead and question in those. But she's unable answer any of his question.

Ve aaj ro len de ve jee bharke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke ve jaaniya

Non of them shows their pain to each other but in inside their hearts were beeping remember all their movements. Right now all they wanted was just to take themselves in each other's embrace and let out their heart to each other like they used to do earlier.

Saanson ko teri zaroorat
Kare kaise byaan koi
Aankhon mein hai aisi rangat
Ke roshan ho jahaan koi

Both were feeling suffocate but unable to express each other. Once again their eyes meets and this time tears makes a way to come out from their eyes.

Dil bimar-e-mohabbat
Bas chahta thodi raahat hai

Both have lost their soulmates, their companion, their friendship, their trust. Most importantly their love.

Tera gham hi meri manzil hai
Tu na kyun mujhko haansil hai
Hoon main dariya tu saahil hai ve jaaniya

He never wanted to see tears in those hazel eyes. He wanted to sooth away all pain but he can't. How can he encourage her when he himself is shattered. He wished if that incident didn't have happened then maybe today they would have been together.

Ve aaj ro len de ve jee bhar ke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke o.. jaaniya
Ve jaaniya… o jaaniya…

Both breaks their passionate eyelock which will give them nothing but just pain. A pain which they are bearing and even giving each other. Both sheds out their tears hiding from each other.

Hmm.. zinda hoon hai mujhko hairat
Main tere bin jiya kaise
Hmm.. saanson ne ki aisi zurrat
Zehar hans ke piya kaise

He keeps asking himself that why's he alive even after such a big betrayal from her whom he trust the most but still he didn't sheds any tear or confronted her nor ask anything. He just fakes a smile on his face and let her go off him.

Tere dard se meri nisbat hai
Teri yaadon ki haseen sohbat hai
Ashqon se dil ko tar karde
Meri aahon mein asar bharde
Meri nazron pe nazar karde ve jaaniya

All the way in these 4 years both of them were just living with each other's memories. He looks at her for last time before facing his back towards her. In the meantime she also turns wishing to see him for once again but he already turned his back towards her.

Ve aaj ro len de ve jee bhar ke
Meri saanson se daga karke
Tu gaya mujhko fanaa karke

Being disappoint she again turns in her previous direction facing her back towards him. Both started reminiscing their old movements which were really special to them. Soon sleep took over then while moon started hiding in clouds unable to see the pain of two soulmates.

Screen freezes on both Swasan sleeping on their either places with tear marks clearly visible on their faces.
