Now, let's get into today's part.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Swara was going near her car after the shoot, when suddenly someone blocked her way. She was scared because of the sudden movement but after seeing the person, she tried to go from there, but the person stopped her.

"Swara, I know you are angry with us. But how many days you will be like this? Some or the other day, you must come back to your one and only family, right? So, stop being foolish and come back to us"

"Stop it Mr. Gadodia and I am telling you for the last time that I am very happy how I am, and I don't have any interest in getting back to you which would only give me pain. So, stop this drama of yours and let me live in peace", said Swara trying to get away from him.

"Come on Swara, I know you are talking with so much attitude only because of Sanskar and his family. But do you think they will support you the same way as of how they are doing now even after knowing your past? And most important no one would like to marry a girl who doesn't have a proper family background. So, it's better for you to accept us", said her own father.

Just then Sanskar came into the parking lot talking in the mobile. Swara saw him and rushed towards him. Looking at her,

"I will call you back", replied Sanskar to the person on the call and turned towards Swara. "What happened Swara? Are you alright?", enquired Sanskar.

Swara pointed towards Shekhar, looking at him Sanskar held Swara by her shoulders. "How did he get inside? Security!", he shouted.

"Sanskar, I want to ask you something?", said Swara holding his hands.

"Swara, I told you..."

"I know that I don't need to ask your permission but tell me genuinely, will you marry me?", asked Swara interrupting Sanskar.

"What?", asked Sanskar being startled by the sudden question.

"Just tell me yes or no", said Swara being impatient.

"Of course, Swara, only a fool would say no to you. And you know that I am very smart...", said Sanskar raising his collar.

"I am serious Sanskar. Later you shouldn't taunt me saying that I don't have a family or a surname and all", said Swara looking straight into his eyes.

"Excuse me Miss. after marriage you would be Swara Sanskar Maheshwari and then you would have a husband, mom, dad, brother in law and a sister. So, the question of not having a family or a surname wouldn't arise in the first place. Once come near to me, if you agree and work hard, we can increase the members of our family too", he whispered in Swara's ears, for which she smacked him with a pinch of redness forming on her cheeks.

"And one more thing, what will you do when someone said something about me?", asked Swara trying to remove all the insecurities she had in her mind.

"Very simple question. Listen, if it is positive, then I will pat his back and give him a gift like my autograph or a selfie, you know it's not easy to get them. (Swara just rolled her eyes in disbelief and Sanskar continued) If it is something negative, then also I will give him a gift, a free one-month bed rest", said Sanskar holding Swara by shoulders.

Swara laughed out loud listening to Sanskar.

"Swara, I trust you. If at all I hear something bad about you from anyone, if I feel it worth considering then I would surely confirm it with you before coming to any conclusions. And I will never force you to tell or do anything that you don't want to. But if you want to do something then I will always be with you. Trust me".

Swara hugged him with happy tears which Sanskar happily reciprocated. 

"You know what Swara, I always wonder how you remember so many dialogues?"

Swara looked at him with confusion, so, he continued.

"Because see, you always forget things regarding me. First, you forgot a very important thing, that was my birthday, then you always ask me permission to ask a question which I told you not to and these thanks. How many times I told you between us there is no thank you and sorry", he told all this in one go, and listening to it Swara smiled.

"Fine, sorry... (Sanskar narrowed his eyes) I mean I won't tell sorry or thank you and I will not forget anything related to you from now on. I swear", she held her throat making a promise.

"Good", said Sanskar.

Swara turned towards Shekhar and said "I think you got all the answers for your questions. Everybody won't be like you Mr. Gadodia. Now, please leave" (She said so loudly that even Sanskar got startled to see this angry bird side of Swara)

Swara looking at his shocked face laughed at him. "Now, let's go. I want to tell this good news to mom".

"Swara, you are so bad", said Sanskar making faces.

"Why?", asked Swara.

"You don't know what all I planned for proposing you, (acting as if thinking deeply) thought to take you out for a dinner, give you a surprise, and what not. But what you did, proposed in the parking lot. How unromantic", complained Sanskar.

"Then why didn't you do? Every time I should only do everything", said Swara with a pout.

"What? What did you do? (looking at Swara's glare) I meant I thought to do, but there was no time. And I didn't expect such a sudden parking lot proposal", said Sanskar laughing.

"Still you can propose me however you want. It's not late yet".

"No Swara, I am only interested in suspense thrillers, after knowing the twist who will watch the movie. It would be too boring".

Swara keeping hands on her waist "what do you mean? you won't love me after marriage. Now itself you are telling that I am boring", she acted as if crying.

"No Swara, I didn't mean that, after knowing the answer to a question, there is no point in asking it, again right? That's what I was telling", said Sanskar worried.

He stopped hearing Swara's laugh "Oho budhu, I was just joking, come let's go. I can't wait to see mom's reaction", she pulled him towards the car.

After reaching home, Sanskar told this good news to Sujatha. She was feeling beyond happiness that finally Sanskar was getting married and that too to Swara. She immediately called Ram, Laksh and Ragini and told them too. All of them were very happy.

"Now, first thing I have to do is to contact pandit and fix the marriage date. Oh my god there are many things to do", said Sujatha planning everything in her mind.

"Mom relax, we are not getting married tomorrow. There is still time for it and now, it is late, call the Pandit tomorrow", said Sanskar trying to calm his hyperactive mom.

"I know that", snapped Sujatha still being in excited mode.

"Swara, after marriage anyhow you are going to stay here, so, why not from now itself", suggested Sanskar and Sujatha too agreed for that.

"Ha Swara, Sanskar is right, tomorrow get your things (Swara nodded in yes and Sujatha seeing Sanskar's excited face) Sanskar, Swara will stay in this house but not in your room, so, don't get too excited", teased Sujatha.

"Mom..."

"Enough now, come everyone have your dinner".

The next morning, Sujatha called Pandit and he arrived at around 9.00 am.

"Please find a nice date for my son's marriage", asked Sujatha.

After looking into Panchangam for few minutes,

"Sujatha ji, there is a nice date after 2 months", declared the Pandit ji.

Sujatha looked at Swara and Sanskar for which Swara looked down as she was feeling shy.

"Mom anyways, we will be busy for more than one and a half months. So, I think this date would be fine for us. What say Swara?", put in Sanskar.

Swara just nodded in yes while Sujatha too agreed. "Okay Pandit ji, please confirm this date, and let's talk about the remaining dates too like engagement, sangeet, Mehendi and all".
