I stood silently in my room, looking here and there avoiding my Mom's gaze. Seriously, I couldn't understand what she want now. She brought me here saying that she wanted to talk to me, but after coming here she is standing silently, especially just looking at me. Her look is somewhat scaring me, I felt uncomfortable under my own mother's gaze. I just want to laugh at my fate.

Yay! See, where has my life brought me!!!

After few seconds, I literally lost my patience, so I broke the silence.

"Mom, what do you want to talk?", I looked at her while she is giving that look which I couldn't understand.

"Swara, Though Laksh has done a mistake he is your sister's husband now"

She started. I should have seen this coming. She sighed and hold my hands between her palms. I looked at her grip and then her face.

"We just can't destroy her life, yesterday only she got married and now her husband has gone to jail. Think about her sasural, what they would think about our Ragini? They would get angry thinking our Ragini is inauspicious for their family. We should not let that happen. Think about this Swara, Ragini is your sister. She don't deserve this"

She said in a concerned tone making my already broken heart to pain more.

"What do you want me to do, Mom?", I asked her though I know what she would say next.

"You should get back the accusing case, so we can get back Laksh"

She said with hope while I looked at her with blank eyes. Her words would be unbelievable for me if she trusted me earlier. But after her distrust, I had learnt my lesson.

How could she even bring this thought to her mind? If Ragini is her daughter, then who am I? How could she selfishly thinking about her only? She didn't even feel bad for distrusting me, hurting me or breaking my heart! She just want Her step daughter's life to be good which is important for her than her own daughter, she just want her happiness. Am I that bad? Am I mean nothing to her?

I was almost raped yesterday but she just want the culprit to live a happy life with her daughter, only because he is her husband and she would be broken without him. I could feel someone is stabbing my broken heart with a sharp knife.

Can any Mother be more worst than her?

On looking her, I feel like stupid suddenly knowing that how low she can think. I feel disgust to be her daughter. I am the most stupid girl for thinking her as my mother these many days, trusting her and loving her with all my heart. God is clearly showing me how low my mother is, I should understand this now.

"Swara, what are you thinking? Get back the case right now, Let's go to police station", She said nodding her own head.

I gave her a sharp look and took my hands out of her grip while she frowned. I clenched my fist to control my overwhelming pain which is consuming me totally.

"Mom, do you know what are you saying?"

I asked her while she just looked at me.

"The Man whom you are asking me to release is the one who tried to molest me. You are so worried about your daughter Ragini, right? Then Who am I, Mom? If I am really your own daughter? You have made mistake by not supporting me yesterday. Do you feel any regret for distrusting me? Atleast you can ask sorry for that na! But you aren't thinking about my pain which I had gone through yesterday when no one believed me including you and blamed me for a mistake I would never do... Here, You are just thinking about your so called daughter and her married life. How? How can you be like this? I was little satisfied before coming here thinking that you are calling me to ask forgiveness for not believing me yesterday but see here you are, wanting me to release my own culprit. You know what, I really regret for being born as your daughter. I really prefer being an orphan more than being your daughter-

"Stop it, Swara. Yesterday, the proofs were against you so I misunderstood, nothing else. See, how much you are talking, I didn't know that you can talk like this, disrespecting your mother. You were not like this, you are just changed. That Sanskar has changed you, see how he has made you into"

Her face twisted in anger which made me furious.

"Just stop it. No more words against Him. What do you know about him haan? He didn't change me, instead you are the one who shown how to respect you. I disgust you, Mom. I just don't want to hear your words, you are not worth for my respect"

My voice was filled with disgust and pain, my words angered her that she lifted her hand to slap me. I tightly closed my eyes to receive the pain but her hand didn't slap my cheek. I opened my eyes to see her looking at me murderously.

Don't you dare hurt her, Sanskar's words came to my mind. May be that would have stopped her from slapping me.

She held my elbow in a painful grip, "I am saying you Swara, He is no good to you. He is a rich man who just have attraction for you, after some days he would leave you like a trash. So stop supporting him"

She spatted in her angry tone while I hissed due to her tight grip. But still I spoke.

"He is not like you think. He is the best anyone could ask for. He cares for me, he trusts me and he is the one protecting me. I will support him only, all through my life. If needed, I would even stay under his legs till my life end. But he doesn't want that, he wanted me to be with him as his wife. He gives respect to me and moreover he is thinking me as a girl, as a human. But You are the one thinking me as trash. Being my mother you never cared about me, you never treated me well. You never thought about my feelings, you haven't ever seen me as your daughter. You just keep on hurting me and just wanted me for your own use. You put a lot of restrictions for me, giving no chance for me to live my life like I want. You are just keeping me in the house for the namesake and also for a no-paid servant. Am I right?"

I shouted at her angrily while my eyes are full of tears from the unbearable pain. I never had a thought that one day I would shout like this at my Mom. I realised how badly I am hurted. But my life was really like that, I was merely a thing in their home, a servant for their use. My life is the most miserable one. I don't want this miserable life, God Please kill me, I wish!

"Shut your mouth, Swara", She shouted back, jerking me from her grip. I almost lost my balance, but gathered myself.

"How undisciplined you are, you are behaving badly with his influence. You just crossed all your limits. For the last time I am saying you, take back the case"

She said in a ordering tone while her eyes are glaring at me venomously.

"I won't.!", I declared in a determined tone. She gave again a death glare.

"If you think, you can live your life with that man then you are wrong. We would never let you marry him. Let alone that, You are not seeing him from now on. It's my decision"

She said in a tone which is a finalised one like I should not go against that. I widened my eyes.

"You can't do that to me", I said while tears fell off into my cheeks.

"Pack your bags, we are leaving", She said giving me a shock.

"What? Where are we leaving?", I asked in shock.

"Mumbai, we are leaving for home. Pack your bags now", She ordered.

"But I don't want to come yet. I want to be with Sanskar"

I said crying.

"Don't you dare say his name anymore. You are not going to be with him, understand?"

She warned me.

"Mom, please don't do this or I won't come with you"

I told wiping my flowing tears.

"You have got that much dare. You can't do anything, I am your mother, fix that in your mind and he is not anyone to you. If you don't come then I will drag you from here. If needed, I will put case on him for bad influencing my daughter. Do you understand? Pack your bags now!"

She told angrily and left the room closing it with a thud. I felt so helpless and heartbroken. I fell on the floor, crying my heart out.

I should have known this before itself. I can't never be with Him, They won't let me be with him. I know if my Mom say anything, she would do that for sure. They won't let me meet him anymore. And that thought is paining me and making me feel breathless.

Why this is happening to me? Why God didn't want me to be happy?

I walked lifelessly to my closet and took my trolley bag. I started collecting my things with my shaky hands and put them inside. My mind is fully occupied with His thoughts. The moments we'd spent together are roaming in my mind, making it difficult for me. My heart is aching like someone has put a heavy weight on it.

"I put Sindoor on your head to show you how much you means to me, to show my feelings are not just an attraction, to show you I really want you as my life partner, to show you deserve to be my WIFE... I don't believe in love and all, but I really want you... You became My Everything, Jaan... So that, I did it to make you MINE"

His words rang in my ears that brings tears to my puffy red eyes. I know I can never be his wife anymore and that thought is making me cry bitterly.

After like fifteen minutes, I finished packing my bag. I looked around my room and feared of my own room back there in Mumbai. My life would again go back to a jail and I will be caged there, I can't do anything like I wish. After this all happened, I really doubt they would let me study anymore! And most importantly, Sanskar won't be there in my life which is paining me.

I sat on the bed, I cursed my fate and my so called family. I don't know how much time have passed until I heard that voice which made me feel live again!

"Jaan..!"

I instantly looked up hearing his tone. My heart flipped seeing him coming to me. I just ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. Who knows, this might be the last time I am hugging him or seeing him!

And I just want to use this moment to be in his arms where only I feel peace and protected. My tensed features calmed when I felt his hands wrapping around my body, hugging me close to him. It made me cry, I clutched his shirt and let my tears flow from my closed eyes.

"Sweetheart, why are you crying? What happened?"

I heard his concerned tone. I didn't answer him, instead I tightened my grip around him, trying to convey that I don't want to be separated from him. I don't want to leave him. I don't want to go to my home which is not one for me.

"Did your Mom do anything to hurt you, Jaan?"

I heard his serious tone and felt his muscles tensing up in anger.

"I don't want to leave you, Sanskar. I want to be with you, I just can't bear this"

I said while crying. He broke the hug to my dismay, and looked at me deeply.

"Jaan, you are my wife. I won't leave you. Don't you trust me? You will be with me forever!"

His answer would have made me happy but I know my Mom won't let that happen.

"She won't let me be with you, Sanskar. They don't want me to be with you"

I bowed my head and let my tears fell on the floor or more like into any of our feet as we are standing close to eachother.

"Jaan, look at me"

His voice made me lift my gaze and I drown into his brown orbs which are filled with seriousness and passion, making my heart speed.

"You are destined to me, You are Mine Jaan. They can't do anything to separate you from me. And I won't let that happen, Do you hear me? You will be with me only, sweetheart"

He said softly while his words are like firm. I just stared at him with my teary eyes. I don't know what else to do. I know my fate won't let my wishes to happen.

"First tell me what all she has told and did she hurt you?"

She didn't hurt me literally but just hurted my broken heart deeply. I shook my head while his eyebrows drawn together.

I then told what all she said and how she asked me to pack my bags to leave for Mumbai. I saw his jaws ticked in anger, his eyes turned dark and his hands turned to fists.

I cried infront of him helplessly, I heard him letting out a deep breath. Then he cupped my face and wiped off my tears with his thumbs.

I saw his eyes which again turned to soft, I wonder how could they change at an instant! Are they magical ones? Yeah, they must be magical. I have seen them turning to cold, red, dark whenever he gets angry and at next second they would turn to soft and tender. And his eyes are so deep and intense, make my heart race at extreme speed, at the sametime they are the ones which makes me feel peace. They made me want to drown in their deepness and even hypnotise me. I am sure he is having magical eyes!!!

He shook me little, bringing me back to the land while I was so lost in his deep sea like eyes and defining how magical they are!

"Jaan, Don't worry. They can't do anything, I will marry you and take you with me", He said smiling little.

"But Sanskar, she said if needed, she will put case on you", I said fearfully. He smiled, not sensing the seriousness behind my words.

"Jaan, they can't-"

He started but I stopped him.

"But don't worry Sanskar, I won't let anything happen to you. If they put case na, I will speak for you in the court and prove that they have put false accusations on you. Ok?"

I told out the fact. Really, if my parents do any such things, I will support him only and tell in the court that he is good man.

I looked at him to see him smiling softly, looking at me with adoration and somewhat amusement.

"What happened, Sanskar? I am saying truth only. Don't you believe me?"

I asked him. He should believe that whatever my parents do, I will stay on his side only. Yes!

"Jaan, do you think they can put case on me, The SM?"

He asked in amused tone. I nodded my head up and down.

"Why not? You don't know about them, Sanskar. They will do anything if they have decided"

I said seriously thinking of all they have done with their stubbornness. Sanskar chuckled shaking his head and wrapped his hand around my waist, pulling me close to him. I looked at him frowned, does he think I am joking?

"Jaan, you are so cute and innocent!"

He said which made me perplexed.

"Sanskar, what are you saying?"

He smiled, "Leave it, Jaan. Then you should go with them"

He said making my heart thud in fear, I quickly clutched his shirt and shook my head.

"No Please! I don't want to go with them"

I said being so determined and afraid of leaving him.

"So you are ready to marry me and live with me?"

He asked with a smile. I just stared at him. I know I can't be without him. Am I ready to marry him? Am I ready to live my whole life with him as his wife?

I asked myself. I saw the person who is infront of me, the only person who thinks so much about me and my feelings. He cares for me, he trusts me and he is the one capable of making me happy. I remembered all the moments where he took care of me and protected me. I know no one else can do that for me and I don't want anyone else also. I want him, I want his care all my life, I want to be in his arms forever and ever, I want to be with him till my life end.

This is what my both minds within brackets my good and bad mind and also my heart wants!!! And I realised I can never be without him!!!

I quickly nodded my head putting my hands on his shoulders and answered his question.

"Yes, Sanskar. I am ready to marry you, I want to live with you all my life"

I told softly and witnessed his eyes twinkling while his smile grew bigger making my heart speed in happiness. I fixed that his smile is the most beautiful scene to admire!!!

He pulled me against his chest with his hand which is already wrapped around my waist and hugged me with his other hand. I hugged him back instantly, getting some hope that he won't let me go with them but deep down I am afraid that my parents won't let that happen.

Breaking the hug, he kissed my forehead which made me smile little after such a long time.

"Jaan, You go with them-"

Just like that, my fear reached it's peak. Doesn't he want me? Is he afraid to go against my parents?

"Sanskar, I don't want to go-"

I said afraidly.

"Shhh, Jaan. Hear me out", He interuppted me. I slowly nodded my head.

"Jaan, go with them. Don't worry, I will come to take you, I promise. After arranging everything for the marriage, I will come and take you from your home. Your parents can't do anything, Ok? You are already my wife and soon I will turn it into official"

I don't know what to say. I felt sad thinking of going home with them. I am afraid that they won't leave me anywhere once they took me. I lowered my gaze.

He cupped my cheek, "Jaan, don't you trust me?"

"I trust you, Sanskar. But I don't trust my fate and my so called family"

I said in a broken tone while he hugged me and rubbed my back to reassure me.

"Jaan, Nothing can stop me from taking you. Don't be afraid, I am here na!"

I slowly nodded my head unwillingly, while being in his embrace. He broke the hug and pecked my cheek. I just stared at him with all my eyes, I don't know when will I be able to see him next time.

"I will come to you very soon, don't worry!"

He said sincerely while I nodded my head. He then put his hand in his pocket and took out his phone. I frowned in confusion seeing him removing his sim card from it.

After placing his sim card back in his pocket, he took my hand and placed the phone on it. I looked at the phone and then at Him.

"Jaan, keep this phone with you. I know your cheap parents may snatch your phone from you. So hide this one and it has my other personal sim card, no one knows that number except for Karan and My p.a. So you can keep it, I will call you daily. And if anything happened, you call me ok?"

He said while my eyes welled up seeing how much he cares about me. Blinking my tears away, I nodded my head clutching his phone in my palm. He smiled little and wiped off the fell down tears.

"Remember, don't cry anymore. Don't be sad, Take care of you"

He said softly while I felt so opposite to leave him. My heart yearned to go with him.

"Please come soon!", I said like a child would say to her mother 'come soon to pick her from the school'.

He smiled, "I promise, my dear little wife!"

He said while I felt the dead down butterflies raising again in my stomach. I smiled little, he hugged me and pecked on the top of my head.

After he left, I opened my trolley bag and hid his phone at the end, between my inner wears. After arranging the clothes which I had just stuffed crushing them before, I closed the zip.

I then walked to the washroom to fresh up.
.

It is almost evening, when my Mom came inside to call me. I just took my hand bag and trolley and left out. There already my so called step father is standing with bags and also Ragini? I frowned seeing her standing there with her bags.

Is she also coming with us? Did the Maheshwari family kick her out?

Though I hate her a lot, I felt bad for her in my heart. She must have had many dreams of living her life, I really feel sad as her life turned like this.

When my eyes met hers, I saw them filled with hatred and anger which made me shudder. I shifted my gaze and walked lazily, looking around for one person. Sanskar!

As we all got down from the stairs, I saw Maheshwari ladies and Sanskar's father sitting on the sofas. I didn't find Sanskar or Karan Bhai which made me sad. I thought I could see them before going home.

Dad walked towards them followed by my Mom and Ragini. Dad talked with Dadi and Ram uncle while My Mom talked to Sujata aunty and Annapurna aunty. I just stood in my place without moving so I don't know what they are talking. But I can say Ram uncle is nodding his head reassuring something to my Dad. I then saw Ragini is taking blessings from everyone. More like, acting like a good bahu. I know she doesn't have any respect for anyone there.

When they trio bid bye and walking towards me, I saw Maheshwari family members are giving death glares to me. I felt little bad as I am not the one to be blamed but their son is... But I don't know them that much close, so their glares won't affect me much. I am just happy that my innocence is proved, so now their glares won't affect me.

"Move.."

My father said rudely while the servants took our bags with them. I just sighed and made my way out of the palace.

Before getting inside the car, I looked around one last time in the hope of seeing Sanskar or atleast his car, but I didn't find any of them. I closed my eyes and then got inside. The car began to move, to the airport.

This trip has filled with many memories. Both good and bad ones. Bad ones are nightmare, everyone's distrust and hatred while the good ones are Sanskar and Karan Bhai. Though I knew them before in Mumbai itself, this trip had brought us more closer. The trip has changed me and I don't want to be away from Sanskar anymore. And this trip and palace has become most important because Sanskar put Sindoor on me here and I also realised how much I want him in my life, here only.

I don't know what is going to happen after this, but I know that whatever happens Sanskar would always be there for me. I will wait for him, to come back soon.
