Hello friends, I know I am late. I started a new story yesterday so I couldn't update this as I promised. I am dedicating this part to my lovely sister Pavi jasmine_r22 and also my friend suchi suchitra09 who have been asking me every time I am online to update this part as soon as possible. So, do read it and tell me how it is.

And all my readers who are like my friends do give a try to my new story "It's time to REGRET", It is a horror story but don't be scared, because I feel it is more a fantasy type than horror. It consists of three couples, Swara and Sanskar from Swaragini, Omkara and Gauri from Ishqbaaz, Arnav and Khushi from Iss Pyar ko Kya naam doon first season. Do give it a try and let me know your views. you can find it in my works.

Early morning, everyone woke up and finished their breakfast and it was time for Swara to leave for shooting.

"Ma, you know what I don't feel like going", said Swara.

"Marry my son and stay back forever Swara", said Sujatha suddenly.

"Come on mom, how is that possible?" asked Swara.

"What's wrong in that Swara? You both knew each other for one and half years and I feel you are very comfortable with him", said Sujatha hoping a positive response but there was no reply from Swara.

"Don't tell me you have a problem with Sanskar's past engagement with Kavitha? If you want to know and If you feel you can trust me then I will tell you the reason for their breakup", said Sujatha as it suddenly came into her mind.

Just then Sanskar called her "Swara, let's go we are getting late for our shooting."

"Sanskar, can you please wait in the hall for ten minutes?", requested Swara for which Sanskar readily agreed and left to the hall.

Sujatha started narrating the flashback.

"Kavitha was the costume designer for Sanskar in his first movie. As you know, my son is very charming, and no girl can take their eyes off him and she was not an exception too. (Swara was hiding her laugh hearing all the over conception of basic moms about their son). She was always around him making some or the other excuse. As a friend Sanskar used to take her out along with his friends. Everything was going well until news came out questioning their relationship. After hearing that Kavitha's father created a big scene because of which we had to agree for the marriage. Sanskar thought she was a nice girl so they both can live together happily".

Swara could see mixed emotions in Sujatha's eyes, which were filled with anger and pain.

"After their engagement, we all have fixed the date of the marriage which was after six months. Those six months had made my son's life hell. His two movies didn't give him good results. As you well know, hits and flops are very common in every actor's life, and we were all there to support him. But then the news which shattered him the most was about Kavitha's wedding being fixed with a renowned businessman in Paris. We directly went to Kavitha to get the answers.

Flashback

"Kavitha, what is all this? Don't you remember that we are engaged?", asked Sanskar trying to keep himself calm.

"Are you serious? I don't remember", was her reply, hearing which Sanskar and his family members were confused.

"Come on Sanskar be practical. Then, you were the most eligible bachelor. So, anyone would want to marry you. But now you got two back to back flops and who knows, in the future, you might not get a hit again. And I don't want to marry a loser like you when I deserve much better. As you see, I got a proposal from Randhir who is now one of the topmost business tycoons. So, how could I lose this opportunity? Sorry baby", said Kavitha.

"I really pity this man who is going to marry a person without heart and I am thankful to God who saved me from you. I regret that moment when I trusted you and now I get a feeling that you only made such news about us to be telecasted in news channels so that I would be forced to marry you, right? Shame on you Kavitha", snapped back Sanskar feeling disgusted.

"You are really smart Sanskar. Of course, it was my plan to trap you. Anyways, if you are done with your drama, will you please leave, it is time for my fiancé to come. And ha don't even try to blackmail me saying that you will tell everything to Randhir. He already knew about us and he doesn't have any problem with any of my boyfriend's...I mean ex- boyfriend's".

"Great and we are not at all interested in wasting our time on you or you're so-called fiancé. So, don't worry", said Sanskar sarcasm clear in his words.

"By the way, congratulations and all the best for your new life Kavitha. Hope at least this time you get married to a winner so that you don't play with someone else feelings again. (he went near her) If you are thinking that all the boys are horses where you conduct a competition and finally you would marry the winner, then Miss you are mistaken, it would not be a marriage that lasts longer. Goodbye", saying this he left from there.

Flashback ends

"All the media was accusing Sanskar of leaving Kavitha after engagement and now her parents were forced to get her married to someone else to protect their name and their daughter's dignity. They started defaming him, and Sanskar was hell irritated by all this and he had rejected to speak about this topic to anyone and restricted us to do so. Despite all this, there were his fans and directors who wanted to see him back on the screen. So, seeing the love of lakhs of people, he didn't want to disappoint them, and he went back to the movies. From then on, there was no turning back in his career. But in his personal life, there was no girl until he met you".

Sujatha was interrupted by Sanskar's shout.

"Swara, Come fast. It is really getting late. Mom what is so important that it can't wait till evening. I don't want to spoil my name because of you. Everyone calls me Mr. Punctual. But now because of you, I will be late."

"Enough of your drama. Let's go. Mom, we will leave", said Swara taking blessings of Sujatha.

Sanskar hugged his mom bidding bye.

All the way Swara was thinking about Sujatha's words. Though she felt bad for misunderstanding Sanskar, she was very happy that Sanskar was not at fault.

"He did one mistake that he blindly trusted that witch but that can be forgiven. After all, Sanskar is too sweet. I should have talked with mom before itself. And Sanskar too tried telling me about this but then what did I do, I showed him a lot of attitude. And like everyone I too believed in the fake news", she was speaking all this to herself making weird faces.

"Swara where are you lost? Don't tell me you were practicing facial expressions", Sanskar laughed at his own joke and Swara playfully hit him on his shoulder.

"By the way, tell me what you were talking with mom for so long?", asked Sanskar out of curiosity.

"In between mom and her daughter there will be many things, why should I tell you?", replied Swara.

"For your kind information, she is my mom too".

"So, what?"

"Okay fine, we have reached...let's go in", said Sanskar giving up.

While walking in,

"Sanskar, can I ask you something?"

"How many times should I tell you Swara that you don't need permission for that?"

"Sanskar, what do you feel about me? I mean How I am as a person?", asked Swara trying to match his pace.

He stopped walking and turned towards her "Hmm...let me think (he kept his one hand near his chin as if thinking) Swara, you are great".

"Why so?", interrupted Swara not able to contain her excitement.

"Let me complete... (Swara was waiting to hear positive words from him) you are the first person whom I met in my life who is so..."

"So..."

"So crazy, stupid, mad and... see I am not able to find words to describe you. That's why you are great" (He told it all in one go trying to be serious)

It took a few seconds for Swara to register what he said and then she started chasing him "You...Just wait, I will show you what I am".

Seeing Swara like this, all the crew of the film was happy. She had made her own place in everybody's heart because of her helpful and caring nature. Everybody, there were scared that maybe because of yesterday's incident, she might be disturbed, and they might lose her laughs and jokes for few days but all thanks to their handsome and crazy hero Sanskar.

Finally, the director caught Sanskar for Swara and she started hitting him with her small hands and Sanskar was trying to stop her. Everyone present there was laughing like anything seeing this cute couple.

"Enough now, I have something important to tell you. Tomorrow morning, we must leave for Kolkata for two days. So, be ready and come to the airport on time", informed the director.

"Why Kolkata? we will go to some other place", suggested Swara feeling uncomfortable.

"Swara, we are not going for a picnic. We must shoot one song and a few scenes near the Victoria memorial and Howrah bridge. So, we must go to Kolkata only", explained the director.

"Why Swara? Why don't you want to go to Kolkata?", asked Sanskar being concerned.

"I have bitter memories with that city Sanskar. I neither want to remember them nor want to get into my past".

"Swara, it's just a matter of two days. Don't fear people, because as long as I am with you no one would dare to even come near you. And I am telling you, the director would not give us much time to roam around. He would keep us very busy and, in that schedule, you won't find time even to remember your present memories forget about the past. So, chill, go and get ready for the shot", convinced Sanskar.

Swara smiled and left to her canvass. Sanskar too went to his to change into his costume. That day the director winded up the shooting early as they all need to go and pack things for the travel.
