'Who the hell is knocking at this wrong time. Ugh! I'm gonna kick them'

Sanskar opened the room by cursing the person. Yes, Swara and Sanskar were given rooms for staying. It was their 5th day in Mihrapur palace.

Yesterday they roamed around Mihrapur. It was quite a lavishing journey. They admired the whole Mihrapur culture and traditions.

"Sir, you are being called by Maharaj." Announced the guard who kept on knocking on the door

"I will be there." Sanskar who was yawning managed to say.

'Now what!! For god's sake, it's 4:00 am. Nowadays I'm not even able to get enough sleep. I'm doing all these for my dadi.' Sanskar was so angry as the guard had really triggered his sleep and peace of mind.

Sanskar was very shocked to see Sena naayak lying unconscious on the floor. He was confused to understand what actually happened. He looked around and saw Swara talking to Rajkumari. He immediately moved to her. 

"What the hell has happened? Why he is lying down like a slice of dead meat? For God's sake, he is bleeding! Who did it to him?" Sanskar fired questions at them. Swara looked at him and smirked.

"Congrats, Dr Bose. You have won. I never knew that you can handle the sword in such a good manner. I think you are a yielding sword fighter. Anyway you have completed the first level of the task." Rajkumari declared in which Maharaj who stood beside her nodded.

'What did I just heard?! She knows sword fighting. And she even succeeded to make  Sena naayak surrender! That's unbelievable. Anyways I need to thank her. Without her, the very first task won't have been a success.' Sanskar mumbled to himself. He was really amused and surprised to victimize Swara's new avatar.

"Was that you?" Sanskar who dragged Swara to the corner of the veranda asked her.

"What?" Swara masked an innocent face, asked him.

"You know to fight a sword! And don't you felt to say that to me?" Sanskar asked looking into her eyes. Her eyes were really capturing him.

"Oh, actually I studied it when I was a child. I and Ra-" Swara chirped and started to say. But then, after realising something, she stopped in middle.

"You were saying something." Sanskar who was so curious about everything related to Swara, disheartened when she stopping something important in middle.

"Never mind, leave it!" Swara replied and walked from there. Sanskar sighed as Swara seemed like a puzzle to him.

Swara and Sanskar were treated as a family member. It was a strict order from Maharaj. Both of them were enjoying the time.

Sanskar used to see blur pictures of a girl and a boy. In that, they were smiling and talking to to each other. But as usual, Sanskar ignored them. Like this, two days passed and it was the time for the second task.

"As you have finished your 1st task brilliantly, now it's time for the 2nd one. One of you should ride a horse and should win over my son, Ashish Chandra. Actually, he is a professional horse rider of Horseman club. If you defeat him, you will be given the next task. Otherwise, you should give up on the black lotus." Rajkumari announced to them.

Swara looked at Sanskar worried. Sanskar who saw conflict in her eye gave her an assuring look.

"Rajkumari, I would like you to announce the venue and time. I would be honoured to participate in it." Sanskar declared looking at Swara. Swara who heard this was totally surprised. But still, she wasn't sure about the decision took by Sanskar.  Within no time, Swara pulled Sanskar to the corner.

"Sanskar, are you sure? Do you really know to ride a horse . You know naah it is so dangerous. What if you fall down?" Swara asked him out of concern. She doesn't want him to fall and injure himself.

"Don't worry Swara, don't underestimate me. Just watch the show." Sanskar confidently assured Swara.

"Sir, Ms Gadodia is in London." Shekhar's personal detective, Mr Ashok Bella, said to Shekhar over the phone.

From two years, no one knows where Ragini is gone. Her location was hidden. Once in a month, for important conference and meetings, Ragini will send a mail regarding the points in the presentation. And her personal assistant, along with the company divisional head, will be presenting the proposals in front of the clients.

Everyone was confused at her act. Ragini said that she was on a vacation. But still, as a father, Shekhar tried his every sources to find Ragini. And now, his detective was able to crack her location, at last. 

"Really!! Are you sure about it?" Shekhar was really shocked at the news. 

"Yes, sir. But we are unable to figure out the actual place." Ashok disclosed.

"Don't worry!! Now, it's on me." Shekhar disconnected the call and dialled Laksh's number.

The say came. Sanskar was not even provided with a horse to practice horse ride. Swara many times tried to ask Rajkumari about it, but every time sanskar restricted her.

'Hey, Bhagwan...Please make Sanskar win. Or both of us will be kicked out from Mihrapur. We really want Black lotus...' Swara kept on praying to God.

The Ride started. Ashish was leading. Sanskar was almost 10 meters away from him. But he was trying very hard. Suddenly Sanskar stumbled and fell from the horse. Swara looked on shocked. Blood was oozing from Sanskar's ears. He was unconscious. Swara became tensed.

No one was permitted to go inside the ground until the race was finished. So, Swara stood there praying to God. It was a 10000 meter race. Rajat had already covered 3000 Meters.

"You guys are good for nothing. Its almost 2 years and still you are unable to find the corpse of a girl!! I'm ashamed of you!" Mr Suraj Malhotra, home minister of West Bengal, shouted at his men.

Suraj was a corrupted politician. He became minister of West Bengal three years ago. He killed everyone who came in his way.

"Sir, we are trying very hard. But nothing is happening. Something wrong with the accident." Mr Neeraj Deva, Suraj's personal secretary spoke in between.

"Where is Sahil?" Suraj shouted again.

"Dad, I'm here." Sahil came rushing.

Sahil Malhotra, more corrupt and evil than his father was a monster in disguise. He had raped many girl including his own sister. But because of the influence of his father, he escaped from every cases.

"Sahil, Still we are unable to find Ragini's corpse." Suraj was really irked.

"Dad, I think she is alive," Sahil said with a serious expression.

"What? How? I have seen her dying in front of me. She can't be alive." Suraj stumbled and muttered.

"Dad, relax. Anyway, we are looking at it. Don't worry." Sahil assured him.

"How can I? If that Ragini is alive then we are doomed. She knows everything about us." Suraj whispered.

Everyone was silent. Time was going on. But suddenly, Sanskar's hand started moving. He opened his eyes slowly. Within a flow of second, Sanskar stood up and jumped to the horse. He started riding it with intense speed. Now both of them were 500 meters away.

With time passing, Sanskar overtook him and won the match. Everyone cheered. Swara jumped at her place with happiness.

'Thank you so much, Bhagwan.' Swara thanked God and rushed to Sanskar.

"Well-done, Sanskar. I never thought that you will win over Ashish. I really appreciate it." Rajkumari said and hugged Sanskar.

'I know it isn't my style. But I really want Swara to appreciate me!' Sanskar's heart was playing thick.

Swara came and hugged him tightly.

Dhak dhak dhak

Dhak dhak dhak

Dhak dhak dhak

'What the hell, why my heart is running a marathon. This girl will become death of mine one day.' Sanskar muttered.

"You did it sanskar! When you fell from the horse, I thought that everything has ended. But because of Bhagwan's grace, we won!"  Swara said after breaking the hug.

'Why she is always thanking her Bhagwan? Actually, because of my stability, I won. And here she is thanking her Bhagawan. Not fair, doctor!" Sanskar complained.

Swara looked on at his pouty lips.
