"Why did you do this swara? Why?" Aron holds her by elbow and forcefully turns her(swara) to her(crystine)...

"Are you so dumb that you can't even think for a second before doing something?" she says again...

"I... i..." swara couldn't make a word...

"You know that's only your problem... you don't think before taking a step... years before you easily agreed to become his girlfriend without knowing the meaning of this word when you were not ready to become his friend also... then what you did? Rather having a mutual break up, you gave him hope that you will accept him if he changes? And then when he returns you said so many hurtful words... and now again? You asked him what his parents have taught right? Now I am asking what your parents have taught you?" she yells angrily, her pregnancy hormone is not helping either...

Swara starts to cry...

"Did you find him?" swara looks up only to see crystine talking to someone on the phone...

"Bring him here..." Aaron snatches the phone and shouts... "keep the phone on speaker..."

"Sanskar, don't you want me to get married?I swear I won't marry until you come..." Aaron says almost choking... then she listens to the other side then sits cutting the call...

"He is coming..." she says looking at crystine... then looks at swara... "don't you dare to do any drama in front of him... you know what you don't need to come down... stay here only..." she eyes him and holds crystine's hand and drags him out...

Swara sits down thinking...

****************************************

She doesn't know how much time she sat there thinking anything to everything... she realised it when someone pressed the calling bell of her room... she ran towards it thinking it must be sanskar but to her disappointment it was room service with her food...

"Who sent it?" she asked as she didn't order...

"Maam... your husband asked..."

"Can you say where he is?" she asked, gulping... the girl looked at her with a frown then shrugged...

"No maam... we got a call.."

"Ok..." she whispers, getting upset... "listen do you know when is the marriage..."

"Marriage will start in an hour maam..."

Swara nodes... she rushed to get dressed...

When she came down Aaron was already walking with Sanskar there arms linked and Sanskar is looking sober but one look at his face tells how much he is suffering from inside... she was supposed to be the maid of honour but gets upset seeing someone else standing there...

Sanskar leaves Aaron as Joseph took her hand and both stands facing each other... sanskar moves at a side at the corner...

Soon the wedding was done and everyone cheered loudly and congratulated them as they kissed each other after their oath...

Swara tries to reach Sanskar but someone holds her hand. It was crystine with Aman... she pulled her away...

"He is not in state to face you right now... don't push him..." Crystine says seriously... swara now gets annoyed...

"You are no one to stop me going to my husband..." she says rudely jerking her hand...

"Please swara... listen to her... he is facing a tough time believe me... see after getting married before a few minutes also Aaron is sticking to sanskar... you know why? Because his mind is not in its rational mood and if after seeing you he did something then?" Aman tried to knock some sense in this stupid woman's mind... swara's eyes fills with tears...

"And let me tell you one more thing... that man made his company from scratch... no godfather forefather was there to help him when he started... the office you have seen, the fame you have seen is because he had worked hard in previous year... after you if he loves something with his heart and soul then its his company... that company only keep him sane enough and now you snatched that also from him... you know how people are saying about him... how much it will cause his company?let me tell you if you are his heart then his company is his blood... if there is no blood then how will the heart function..." Aman shows no mercy on her as he was also there with Sanskar when he built his empire with his sweat and blood...

Swara looks down while crying... Aman and Crystine go away after warning her... she looks at Sanskar with Aaron and Joseph... She couldn't understand what she should do to manage the damage she has caused...

"Hey she is Sanskar Maheshwary's wife right?"

"I don't know if she is wife or not today morning she behaved strangely?"

"Why what happened?"

"I don't know Hindi much... but i heard from Mrs D'souza... you know na she is originally a Indian, she said this girl was accusing him for raping her..."

Swara looks at them shocked... no she didn't say that... but she should know what gossip is... but didn't she implies that type of acquisition only... she was about to run away when some klink sound caught her attention... she looks at the stage Aaron is klinking her glass...

"Hi ladies and gentleman... I know I should not make the toast as it's my wedding... but today its special... After Dad died in an accident 2 years ago it was a tough time for me... but there was 2 person who always remained there with me... 1st my beloved hubby and 2nd is Sanskar... he looked after me like a brother or father... he is someone whom i love respect very much with all my heart... if after my father i feel protected and safe with my heart mind and dignity then that's sanskar... I am not saying Joseph's name cause it's his duty... we are one... but Sanskar... he is different... and very special... it was unfortunate that when we met he was already taken (she laughs...)... i am saying all this cause when i heard everyone is gossiping around about him i can't take it... a girl will feel most protected if my sanskar is around her... a man who almost lost his life for saving a girl from getting molested what else you want? Mrs D'souza, you know it right? Don't you remember your daughter... how can you forget? After all, what else can we expect from that girl's mother who leaves her savior on the road to die..." Aaron's eyes were blazing fire...

Sanskar and Joseph quickly walk to her... Sanskar snatched the mike and Joseph took her away... Sanskar gives a nervous laugh looking at all...

"Ummm... she is just a little tired... and hormones... its a beautiful evening i can't be more happy as my two best friend got married and soon a child will be blessed in their life... so congratulation to them... (he holds his glass and forwards) to Aaron and Joseph and their little bunny..."

All claps and he hurriedly comes down from the stage towards Aaron... swara couldn't take it anymore and rushed away to room... she lie down on bed and starts to cry...

************************************

Swara opens the door and sees Sanskar standing there...

"Hi" she whispered before giving him a way to the suit... sanskar didn't respond not even look at her... he was walking away with his head down when swara called him... he halts but didn't look at her...

"I... i am sorry for the morning... i just thought..." she gulps as he didn't turn... "i am sorry..." she said again...

"I was a good boy swara... very good boy... always came in the top 10 list of my class... until class 7... samar's father transferred and he took admission in our school... My teacher asked me to help him to catch up and that was the beginning of my doom... his free lifestyle starts to attract me very much... parents were working parents and he used to live in his house all alone... I started to go to his house and there I first saw some r-rated magazines... as his parents didn't have time they gave him enough money to fulfill that void... seeing those magazines for the 1st time I felt something odd in my body... and that was the start... from magazine to movie... by 9th grade I was spoiled enough and my grades started to decrease with highest speed... he used to chat with his girlfriends dirtily and i used to see and laugh with him... and at 11 Punam came in my life... we kissed make out... but i never forget one thing that to respect girls and women... I thought being my girlfriend I have the right to do many things with her... and punam gave me that authority... She took me to do her lingerie shopping and asked me if it would fit her or not... we used to talk dirty at night... and then oneday she left me... I was heartbroken... and you came into my life and for the 1st time I felt something odd in my heart... Your innocent cuteness makes me feel something different for you... I heard Dhruv is preparing to propose to you and it made me frustrated... frustrated enough to propose to you without knowing you better... and when that dirty spoiled mind registered that now you are my girlfriend i tried to impose some previous things on you... asking about your nightwear, periods date, lingerie size... and also laugh at your weakness, make you see something which you were afraid of... you were afraid of ghost and i sent that video to you cause you were shutting me down... i realised my limit when you broke up with me...

"Sanskar i feel we are different, i don't like your many things... so please i don't think we should talk anymore..."

"I promise swara I will change myself according to you... please give me a chance... I can't take swara... i am feeling so much pain inside me..."

"Then come after you change..."

"I promise i will change..."

"After you left i quit cigarette... i studied heard and took chance in abroad here in newyork... and before i go i went to you again... 6 months completed... i was hoping that you would have give me a chance... and you show me the mirror with saying...

"I am changed... i have many things to say swara... will you listen?"

"No..."

"Please... give me one chance..."

"No sanskar... your type of guy can never change... never... you are a disgusting person... never come near me... you literally mindrape me..."

"What?"

"Yes... i disgust you..."

"Swara..."

"I didn't know what i should do... I lost myself... the rapist tag given by my love was too much for this heart... I went to Samar's house still thinking he is my best friend... and there i realised how disgusting a person he was... he was almost raping a gir drugging herl...and when he called me to join him i realised if he is my friend then i am also like him... i am really a rapist... i was numb and then i heard that girl's faint voice to save her... i gained some energy and hit samar's head and ran away with that girl..."

Swara was listening to everything with wide eyes... she was too numb to react...

"Here life was not easy as I thought it would be... I started to get nightmares and started to hallucinate people saying me rapist... I started to feel like that word was written all around my body... in my chest hand... and how much I rub it won't go... (he starts to rub his palm on his pants roughly... then forehead...) i started to stay in the room only and feared if i go out then people will see how bad i am... and one day i saw the fruit knife and the urge of ending my life was immense..."

Swara gasps...

"When I opened my eyes Aaron and Joseph were there... Joseph came to my room as they both were curious about me... i tried to run away from them many times... i never wanted to cause pain in someone's life... but the more i wanted to go away the more they cling to me... after 4th attempt of my sinful suicide act crystine came... I was in the hospital for 3 months... slowly crystine managed to open me up... and with her consultation and therapy i started to become stable... they sent me to Vipassana Meditation center... It calms me down enough... and in all these I keep nurturing the small plant named "swara" in my heart... though i had no hope to gain you... to divert my mind i opened my own company... and then mom starts to pressurize for marriage... I never wanted to but after seeing her upset and becoming the cause again I thought I should do what she asked... i never wanted to be the reason for her cry again... and when your photo came i felt like god is giving me a chance to live... but maybe it was just that she was giving me punishment for whatever i did to you..." finally he turns to her...

Finally he turned to her... she was sitting on the sofa with tears strimming face looking at him...

"I tried to make you feel safe and comfortable... I don't know anymore what I should do... I am defeated... I quit... I accept my failure... I accept it..." he fell on his knees and folds his hand together... "please don't do this to me more... I am feeling like my heart will burst with this pain... i can't take it please... sorry sorry sorry..." he bends his head down like begging for her mercy

Swara stood up with stopped breath... she has never seen someone so vulnerable... did she really go overboard... and she gasps as she watches him to fall on ground with thud...

"Sanskar..." she rushed to him... she couldn't breath as she watched his nose is bleeding...
