"Yes, your heard me absolutely right my dear Reva. You are not going back out of this storeroom."

Everyone turned to TV screen which was showing a video of one small room and someone was capturing it from window. Shekhar was standing in front of baffled Reva.

"Mumma" Swara mumbled being perplexed.

"Come on Reva this place is not new for you or did you forget your real identity after being Mrs. Anurag Mehra." Shekhar took round around Reva's frightened figure.

"I am leaving. You have gone mad" Reva shook her head and started leaving from storeroom.

"Ofcourse, you can go back but think Reva for a moment where you want to go back? To your home where except corpses you won't find anything if you step out" Shekhar's sinister voice halted her in her tracks.

"Shekhar please. How can you talk about my home like this?" Reva flinched for a moment.

"I can" Shekhar laughed like maniac.

"What do you mean?" Reva quired in disbelief.

"Your dear in laws have went to Kedarnath right? But do you know right now they are on the way of Manikaran Temple? And the way is too much hilly, slippery and dangerous." Shekhar informed viciously.

"You are lying. In Morning only, I talked to Ma and Papa... they are going to rest in the hotel" Reva tried to assure her self.

"Yes, you are right, but their driver or should I say my man convinced them to visit Manikaran Temple" Shekhar ridiculed at her stunned face.

"You can't do anything. Ma and Papa have security around them" Reva tried to convince.

"Are you sure Reva?" Shekhar shook his head passing chuckle.

"I don't believe you" Reva turned taking step towards door.

"Why don't you hear out yourself?" Shekhar dialed number.

He dialed number and Reva could hear voices from other side. It did not take much time for her to recognised her in laws voices. With their talks it was evident for her that they were going to Manikaran Temple of Himachal Pradesh.

Shekhar cut the call.

"It was my man who had kept his phone on speaker mode for few minutes to make you believe me." Shekhar took deep breath "I know... I know they are not your biological parents so why will you care for them? But what will happen if Anurag's car blast with a bomb?"

"Shekhar" Reva was horrified with even a thought of Anurag getting hurt.

"Yes, my other man is standing inside Parking lot of Mehra Business House Head office. My one call and he will start the timer of the bomb. Oh god! Reva will you be able to see Anurag's burned leftovers?" Shekhar's sentenced numb all senses of Reva.

"You... you can't do this? Please don't do anything to Anu" her eyes started welling up with fresh tears.

"Maybe you won't even care about him now as even if he died you will hold abundant wealth of Mehra family as their last survivor." Shekhar rubbed his forehead. He took pause to look at terrified face of Reva, "Ok then choose between Anurag and your precious daughter Swara."

"You can't do anything to Shona, she is at home" Reva blurted out hastily shaking under fear of losing her loved ones.

"Yes, she is at home with her nanny, right?" Shekhar laughed like maniac and continued "breaking news her nanny is also working for me. I have kidnapped her son and she would do anything to save her son just like you are ready to do anything to save your family. Right Reva?"

Shekhar threw Swara's favourite doll on the ground.

"From where you go this doll? This is my Shona's. You can't do anything to Shona. She is my little baby." Reva pleaded going on her knees in front of demon. She held that doll near her chest shielding her from evil.

"Yes, I can Reva...Surely, I can" Shekhar replied venomously showing her video from handicam, "Do you see what is in front of your little princess? One bowl filled up with Porridge and her favourite Hot Chocolate. What do you think what she will pick up? I guess her favourite is Hot Chocolate, right? But do you know what is inside it? I have added large amount of acid in it. The moment, she drinks one sip of it... it will burn her throat and then she might become mute for all her life or she can die as well."

"No No... Please no Shekhar...she is so small... she is just baby" Reva begged folding her hands "Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to you?"

"What did you do? What did you do?" Shekhar threw cartons kept beside him increasing Reva's fear, "You chose Anurag over me. How can you get married to him? You chose him because he was rich and from affluential family, right?"

"No, I love him" Reva replied innocently.

"Love ...bullshit. Didn't you see love for you in my eyes all these years? I loved you from the day I saw you first time." Shekhar bent dangerously close staring in her wide-open eyes.

"How can you talk to me like this Shekhar? I love Anu more than my life.... I am married to him...And you also married with Sharmishtha. Didn't you feel any shame in talking like this to any married woman" Reva shivered looking at his lunatic avatar.

"Come on Reva I know you... if I was at the place of Anurag belonging to any rich family you would have..." Shekhar presumed.

"This is your misconception... I love Anu for his nature, for the respect he showed to me, for the trust he has in our relation, for the love and care he showered over me. He is the best man I have ever met in my life. Person like you will never understand true meaning of love." Reva shrilled feeling disgusted over him.

"I don't even want to understand...let's come to the point. You have two options step out from here and then you would be living life on the dead bodies of  your every family member or you choose to stay here for the rest of your life. The day you step out trust me Reva I will finish your family starting with your little princess." Shekhar intimidated clenching his fist.

Even today on her worst day, Reva was chanting Anurag's name stabbed his heart.

"Shekhar you can't do this? I have my family to look for... After lot of struggle and wait I got a beautiful family. First time in my life I have my own home, my people, my loved ones. Please. Please don't do this. My Shona... she is so small... she needs her mother...I don't want her to grow up without mother's love... Anurag won't be able to live without me. He will break down." Reva tried to convince sobbing bitterly.

"That's what I want. He snatched everything from me so now it's his turn to lose." Shekhar replied nonchalantly.

"He did not snatch anything... I love him Shekhar please spare us..." Reva closed her eyes.

"Time is running Reva... decide do you want to see four dead bodies or do you want to disappear from everyone's life" Shekhar gave her ultimatum.

"Do you think Anu will not look for me? He will make this world upside down to find me." Reva tried her last resort.

"No, he will hate you from bottom of his heart. I will make sure of it" Shekhar took out pen and paper "Write down that you are betraying him and walking out of his life as you are in love with someone else."

"Shekhar how can you ask me this? I am not going to do anything like this" Reva shrieked in bafflement.

"Then I think, I should order your daughter's nanny to give Swara her hot chocolate as it is, she is crying like hell." Shekhar took out his phone to dial number.

"No... Shekhar please no... Don't do anything to my Shona. I am ready to listen whatever you say" Reva accepted her fate defeatedly.

Reva wrote letter with shaky hands and tears were streaming over her cheeks continuously. Few drops fell on the letter blurring the ink of letters.

"Take out your Mangalsutra" Shekhar took letter from her hands and asked giddily, "I need to give enough proofs to Anurag to hate you."

Reva took out her Mangalsutra kissed pendant, her heart was crying to take out the black beads thread which tied her soul with her soulmate, "I am so sorry Anu ... Please forgive me... I love you... You are the only one who has hold of my heart and soul... no one else. I am sorry. Please take care of yourself and Shona. You have to give her love of father and mother as well."

"Enough I don't have whole day. Now we need to plant this letter in your home where Anurag can find it easily" Shekhar chuckled ridiculously, "Anurag is going to face the same fate as of me. Every day he would die in pain of your betrayal World is going to title you with the name of betrayer. His parents would curse you and your daughter will abhor you. Anurag is going to hate you for the rest of his life."

Shekhar took step towards the door.

"Do you really think so Shekhar? Anu will never hate me." Reva's pale voice halted him at his place. He turned to look at her fragile figure clutching doll near her chest, "I don't know about the world what they will think about me? What they would title me? I don't even care about it. But two people will never distrust me. They will always trust me... Anu and Sujata. I will hold their trust. They will come for me. They will find me one day... I don't know whether they will take some days or weeks or months or years to reach me... but I know they will find me one day... and I will wait for that one day. And that day you will be finished." Reva's determination passed abrupt shudders down his spine.

"Stay safe here Reva. Goodbye" Shekhar responded masking his face with evil smirk.

Reva turned her face to embrace her doll sobbing bitterly.

"Mumma" Swara collapsed with thud on the floor when TV screen turned grey.

"Reva" Anurag mumbled felt extreme weakness in his knees. If Ram was not holding him, he would have collapsed long back.

"Swara" Sanskar gained his senses. He bent to envelop her in protective embrace. Tears were streaming down on his cheeks were unstoppable.

Each and every person present in the hall had moist eyes looking at pious soul trapped in the clutches of demon.

"How is this possible? Who was behind this?" Shekhar was dumbfound when his past replayed in front of his eyes.

"Sid Uncle... It's true that betrayal betrays the betrayer. You betrayed everyone till today but fate, destiny betrayed you" Sanskar spatted with murderous glare. He stood up wrapping Swara in his side embrace. She was still looking at TV screen with blank eyes.

"How dare you Shekhar?" Dev clenched his fist.

Anurag took a step furiously and punched on Shekhar's face making his lips bleed.

"Anurag" Shekhar screamed out.

"How dare you blackmail Reva? You are such a pathetic, obsessive psychopath. I just can't believe all these years you were the one who betrayed us." Anurag gave one more punch on the other side making Shekhar fall on the ground.

"She was pleading you. She was begging you for her life. You destroyed our life for your mere obsession. You ruined our family. You snatched my Shona's childhood. I won't be leaving you Shekhar. You are going to pay for every single tear my Reva and my Shona had shed till today" Anurag smacked his face one more time.

Dev went to control furious Anurag.

"Shekhar Gadodia, you are going to ask for death, but I promise you will never get it. I will make sure to make your life as living hell" Sanskar took a step and held Shekhar's collar pulling his towards him.

Shekhar flinched looking at Sanskar's blood shot eyes.

"Shekhar you are such an evil. You destroyed pious innocent soul like Reva. Trust me we are going to use all our influence to make your life miserable." Ram roared with blood shot eyes.

"Mr. Shekhar Gadodia, you are under arrest on the additional charge of kidnapping, harassing and mentally torturing Mrs. Reva Mehra" SP came with handcuffs. "Please surrender."

Sanskar punched his face and Shekhar could not manage his balance his already blood covered face had one more solid wound.

Shekhar hastily took gun from his jacket, "I am not scare of death Sanskar... But I won't let any one of you to live your life with peace. I will make sure every breath as painful as death for each one of you" He responded venomously pointing gun on Sanskar.

"No... Please no... Don't do anything to him" Swara screamed her lungs out looking at scene in front of her.

"Shekhar, no please... don't do you dare" Ram shivered with just the thought of any harm to his son.

Sanskar did not flinched or averted sardonic eyes from Shekhar's face.

"Mr. Shekhar Gadodia drop your gun else I will shoot you right now" Roger intimidated while keeping him on gun point.

Not only Roger but every security guard and police officers kept their guns pointing on Shekhar.

"Drop your gun Roger" Jaideep pointed his gun towards Roger, and his men countered the move of their enemies.

"Give up Jaideep." Neil took gun from nearest security guard to point on Jaideep, "Shekhar if anything happens to Sanskar... I will kill you right here. I am not at all generous like all when it comes to family."

Everyone was shocked looking at furious Neil. Within few moments entire hall turned in to battle ground.

Neil took step towards his best friend.

"Stop there ... don't move else I will..." Jaideep warned taking one more step towards Neil.

"Feel free to go ahead but I won't fall before taking this bastard down" Neil riposted passing one death glare to Shekhar.

"Shut up Neil. Drop that gun right now. This is utter madness" Sanskar yelled.

"Let's talk... you will be in deep shit... I will make sure to hang you till your last breath" Dev tried to control situation.

"I don't care... but I would love to keep myself alive in your nightmares." Shekhar growled with evil smirk.

"Shekhar Uncle... Stop this mess. We are already in deep shit." Sahil knew, it was the end of their game. He did not want to increase list of charges police would put on him.

"Shekhar we will give you safe passage just don't do anything to Sanskar" Anurag tried to manipulate.

"Wow... Mr. Anurag Mehra is ready to forgive me. I hate when people pity on me. I don't need anyone's charity" Shekhar did not move his eyes from Sanskar's cold face.

"I love my daughter... I don't want my daughter to face the same fate as of me.... Please drop the gun right now" Anurag took safe step towards Shekhar.

"Shekhar stop this madness... We will agree with whatever your demand are. Just let go my son" Ram became calculative.

"Please... please don't do anything to him..." Swara kept on mumbling becoming hysteric. She took step to held Sanskar's hand.

"Stop there else" Shekhar threatened Swara flinching her at her place.

'If you don't want to face the same fate as Anurag, then act hastily. I know Shekhar well, he will surely try to harm Swara. Losing her would break everyone you, Anurag, Reva... just like he broke Anurag in past. His ways to eliminate his enemies are by inflicting extreme pain to them.' Sanskar remembered Siddhant's words.

"No Please don't do anything to him... I won't be able to live" Swara pleaded crying bitterly.

"You are the cause of everything. Because of you only he ditched my daughter. She is in this condition because of you only. You are the root cause of everything. I should have killed you when you were kid" Shekhar spatted breathing heavily.

"Please don't do anything to him" Swara kept on begging.

"Your mother was also pleading the same way. So why not you also face the same fate as of her's" Shekhar immediately turned gun point to Swara and pulled the trigger.

Sanskar hastily took few steps towards Swara shielding her while wrapping his arms around her taking bullet on back of left shoulder.

Roger shot Shekhar on his right hand which was holding gun whereas there was one more gun shot from police on his left knee. Shekhar could not bear the extreme pain and gun slipped from his hands. He fell on the floor as his body gave up.

"Sanskar" everyone shouted their lungs out.

Same time, Jaideep pulled trigger to shot at Neil whose hands shivered after looking at blood oozing out from Sanskar's back. Security guard pulled him down to save him from bullet.

Karan and other security teams had fired multiple bullets towards him taking him down. He collapsed on the floor covered with blood.

"Ahh" Sanskar felt extreme pain on his back. Neil threw the gun and ran to his best friend.

"Sanskar" Swara screamed when she felt his weight on her. She made him lie down keeping his head on her lap.

"Don't worry I am fine. It is just a small wound" Sanskar tried to move his hand to wipe her tears.

Soon police and security team took over the whole scene under their control.

Ram took a step and punched wincing Shekhar making his lips bleed. "Just wait Shekhar, you are going to face our wrath."

"Take Mr. Mahehswari to hospital we will handle everything here" SP announced to rest members.

"Neil" Swara cried her heart out.

Neil, Roger, Niren lift Sanskar and took him out, "I am fine. I will be back to you" Sanskar caressed her cheeks.

"Don't talk we need to hurry up" Swara cried looking at Sanskar's dropping eyes.

"Swara, take tissues from there as well as if any cloths. He is bleeding, we need to stop it" Neil instructed while walking.

Within next five minutes Sanskar was taken to car which was speeding towards Fortis Hospital.

"Don't worry Shona... nothing will happen to him" Anurag wrapped his arms around Swara. They were standing outside of operation theater where Sanskar was attended by best surgeons.

"I won't be able to live without him Papa... I love him so much to lose him" Swara sobbed in her father's embrace.

"No... You won't.... He will make it for you... He loves you so much" Anurag caressed her hairs.

Meanwhile, Niren went and informed about happenings at Maheshwari House. He with security team's help brought Sujata and Divya to hospital. Nandini and Samaira stayed with Reva.She was still unaware about happenings. It was mutually decided to keep her away from the chaos they were facing.

"Mom... Sanskar" Swara's heart was engulfed with fear seeing her mother in law.

"Nothing will happen to him. You both are destined to be together. He will make it for you." Sujata wiped her eyes and took her in motherly embrace.

After almost 4 hours, doctors came out and everyone rushed to him, "Operation was successful. Bullet was hit on his back, so it did not damage any of his organs. He is out of danger. But yes, he had lost blood, so he needs complete rest for couple of weeks. Dr. Rohan, let's discuss about further treatment" Surgeon informed family.

Rohan had received news about attack on Sanskar, he rushed to Mumbai to look for his best friend.

"Sure Sir, give me a moment" Rohan confirmed.

"Rohan?" Sujata and Swara called him at the same time with hopeful eyes.

"Don't worry Aunty... Swara he is fine... He is just sleeping under sedatives. But he is out of danger." Rohan gave them news of their life.

"Can we go and see him?" Swara became impatient.

"He is unconscious Swara. We are shifting him to ICCU" Rohan explained.

"When will he get consciousness?" Neil asked hastily.

"Effect of anesthesia will start to go down by tomorrow early morning. But we will keep him under sedation. You know him Neil, he won't be at one place if he woke up. He needs maximum rest" Rohan clarified and turned to Swara, "Swara atleast now come with me. You need medical attention."

From the moment they came in hospital everyone was asking her to go and get medically treated her wounds but she, being stubborn did not move from her place.

"No, I am fine here" Swara responded adamantly.

"Swara do you want me to get killed by your husband? First thing, he will start throwing his tantrums if he would see you like this" Rohan became annoyed.

"He is right Swara. Go with him and get yourself treated first" Neil forced agreeing with Rohan.

Rohan held her hand and forcefully took her towards next room for check-up.

"You all please go home... I will stay here, and I have Rohan as well with me" Neil declared.

"No, I will stay here" Ram whispered shaking his head.

"Me too." Sujata firmly.

"Please all of you try to understand... it was tough day for all of us. Everyone needs rest. It's already past 10 in night. You all can come tomorrow morning" Neil convinced.

"You are also tired" Anurag patted his back.

"No, I am fine Uncle. Please take everyone back home. Reva Aunty is also at home. Ma was saying she was asking for everyone. We should not stress her more, right?" Neil argued.

In dressing room, Rohan was putting bandages on Swara's wounds. "You are going back with everyone."

"I am not going anywhere" Swara shook her rigidly.

"Have you seen yourself in mirror? Do you want to go in front of him as zombie when he wakes up tomorrow? He will kill me and Neil for not taking care of you. So please save our lives." Rohan exclaimed and then caressed her hairs and convinced in soft tone, "Please go home. Me and Neil are here. Tomorrow morning first thing you can come back, and we will call you after every two hours to update. I promise."

"I want to see him at least once before I go" Swara asked innocently.

"Ok come with me" Rohan agreed.

Swara came inside ICCU following Rohan. Sanskar was sleeping under sedatives effect. Lot of medical instruments were attached to his body. Swara bent to kiss his forehead.

"I love you Sanskar. Please come back to me. I am waiting for you. I love you so much" Swara mumbled against his skin.

"He is fine Swara. Just sleeping" Rohan wrapped his arm around her shoulder in brotherly support.

It was mid night when Swara came back to her room which felt void without his presence. She took long shower and then went to see her mother. She was sleeping and Anurag was caressing her hairs not moving his eyes from her pious face. His eyes were filled with tears remembering her sacrifice, their separation.

"Why did it happen with us?" Swara asked keeping her head on her father's shoulder.

"I don't know. She faced too much Shona. She sacrificed her whole life for our family, and I couldn't do anything" Anurag felt helpless.

"You were not at fault Papa." Swara wiped her father's tears. "I hated her Papa all these years but just to save me she..." Swara's heart engulphed with guilt, "I hate myself Papa."

"Shona, please... Beta, Reva will not like if you stuck in the past. We know lot of things had happened, but we have to move on. Everything is over. This is a win of truth over evil." Anurag wrapped his arm around his daughter.

They both kept on staring at Reva's serene face for don't know what time..

In Ram's room, he showed video of Reva and Shekhar to Sujata and Divya they both were shocked.

"How can he do this with her?" Sujata mumbled shockingly. She became tongue tied realising fate of her best friend.

"This is insane. Bhai, he should be punished severely. We are not going to leave any chance to make his life hell" Divya's eyes also welled up with tears.

No one could sleep for the night, their minds were drifting towards just thoughts of Reva.

It was early morning when Swara came back to her room. She had chat with Rohan about Sanskar's health which gave her much needed relief to her heart and mind.

She thought to go back to hospital, so she took quick bath and then moved inside dressing room to get ready. She was missing his presence, she turned to his side of closet to open to take out his shirt to wrap her to feel his presence around her. Her gaze went to the box which Sanskar gifted her on her birthday. Till today she had seen this box in his closet for numerable times, but she did not feel urge to open and see it as his words about their separation haunted her.

Swara herself did not realise when her hands stretched to take out that gift box. She took it and came back towards her bed. She settled down and started unwrapping the gift paper. There was one wooden carved box. She opened it and scrunched her eyebrows in confusion looking at the contents.

It has one old diary, red bangles, and couple of carefully folded papers. She took out the diary and turned the cover which had her picture with Sanskar or should we say with her soulmate.

It did not take much time for her to realise that the picture was not actually her's but then whose? Thoughts kept lingering on her mind. She looked for other pictures in every picture she was with Sanskar laughing with heart at his naughty faces or in some pictures she was just wrapped in his embrace.

"What are these pictures?" Swara whispered to herself.

She kept them inside and flipped first page of the diary. Beautiful cursive handwriting captured her attention, 'My Love My Janhvi.'

She knew this handwriting it was much similar to her husband's. She flipped some pages and stopped on one of the pages to read, 'Janhvi? What should I say about her? She is so innocent. I just can't believe that she wants to become a doctor when she is scared of blood. Today, when I got hurt, her eyes were shedding tears as if she herself got wound. I just can't see tears in her big doe eyes. So, I tried to smile when seniors were treating my wound but my love, she is... an exceptional case.'

Swara turned few pages when small smile adored her lips while reading feelings of the author.

'Janhvi... ohh my love what are you doing to me? First time I saw her wearing saree on Diwali. She will be my death one day. I just wanted to wrap her in my embrace and kiss her senselessly. But I know my love is still that innocent, sweet and timid girl. So soon to be Doctor Aditya Shrivastav, keep your dangerous thoughts to yourself. Your love will run away if she gets even the slightest idea of your thoughts.'

Swara turned few more pages.

'Janhvi... I just love when she calls me by my full name... Aditya. I know she love to call me with my name and not with nick name. And truly speaking, it sounds melodious when she calls it. It always rings all bells of my heart.'

"Aditya" Swara mumbled, and tears were streaming over her chubby cheeks.

'Janhvi.... We were taking early morning stroll in the woods behind our home. We kissed today for the first time ... And then she became so shy that she started running in woods laughing teasing me. I was stunned for a moment and then I realised she tricked me, so I ran behind her. Ohh god! I want to kiss her again and again and again. I love her forever and ever and ever'

Swara turned few more pages.

'Janhvi... Don't worry, we will convince your family. I will gain their trust so that they can accept our relation. Please trust me my love.'

Swara turned few more pages.

'Janhvi... I can't lose you. It kills me to think to spend even a moment without you. Please trust our destiny... It will bring us together. I hope, your family accepts us soon.'

This was the last page written on the diary.

"Aditya" Swara called his name which stabbed her heart with hundreds of needles.

She opened the first fold of the paper. It was Janhvi's last letter which she wrote for Aditya. It cried her heart out feeling devasted on their fate and unrequited love.

With heavy heart she opened another fold which was a letter written by her husband.

Swara My Love,

You are reading this letter means, something would have happened between us and I am not around you. But be assured I am in your heart. I am your soul.

I hope you would have read Aditya's diary by now.

I wanted to tell you about Aditya and Janhvi or should I say about US, but I couldn't till today. I never understood why you had impact on me from the day I saw you first time but after knowing about Aditya and Janhvi, I realised our souls are connected from past.

Not as Aditya and Janhvi but as Swara and Sanskar we made destiny to pay back her dues to us. And see we are together, madly in love with each other.

I want to assure you about us in these difficult days. These days will also pass by and no matter what we will be together. I will reach out to you. I will be with you, just have some patience. I will come back to you because you are my abode, my destination. We will be together and will walk on path of life holding and loving each other.

I love you forever and ever and ever.

Love
Sanskar

"Means me and Sanskar" it did not take much time for her to realise her fate.

"Why did it happen to us Sanskar?" Swara broke down realising the biggest truth of her existence.

'Did he know this from start?' thought brought fresh tears in her big doe eyes. She caressed and hugged that diary and their belongings understanding why she was always fascinated with name 'Aditya.'

"Swara come on stop crying. Sanskar is fine" Samaira entered in her room to inform her about Neil's arrival to take her back to hospital.

"I know, he will come back to me. We will be together for forever" Swara wiped her tears passing small smile.

"Neil is downstairs" Samaira informed.

"Just give me five minutes. I will get my sorted out" Swara replied in daze.

Swara and Neil came back to hospital and she entered in ICCU. Sanskar was still unconscious.

"Aditya" Swara called him kissing her forehead. "I am waiting for you."

It was noon when Sanskar got consciousness, Rohan broke the news to the family which brought bright smile on everyone's face. One by one everyone met Sanskar when he was shifted in private room of hospital.

"What have you done to yourself?" Sanskar asked in pale voice when Swara took seat beside him on his bed. Sight of her red, swollen eyes and red nose were enough to tell him about how much she would have cried overnight.

"Is it hurting?" Sanskar tried to move his hand to caress her neck which had two bandages.

"Don't you think this question should be from my side?" Swara glared at him.

"This is hurting me the most. I can bear pain of this bullet, but I cannot bear single bruise or tear in your eyes." Sanskar responded caressing her neck near her wound.

"Why do you behave like this everytime? Always pushing yourself in danger to save me. This is the third time Sanskar you are here on hospital bed" Swara became frustrated.

"I am your shield Swara. I will always protect you because by protecting you I safeguard my own life. There is no Sanskar without Swara." Sanskar responded staring in her big doe moist eyes.

"Promise me you will never do something like this in future" Swara raised her palm.

"Sorry, this is the only promise I can't make." Sanskar replied keeping his palm on her's, "I love you more than my life."

"I love you more than you can imagine" Swara gave quick peck on his lips.

"Love, I cannot take cold shower in this state. So please stay away from me for some days" Sanskar teased her pressing his lips to supress his chuckle.

"You are such a shameless sometimes" Swara shook her head smiling brightly.

Soon it was night when Neil brought home made dinner for Sanskar. Swara and Rohan joined them in Sanskar's room.

"What happened with those creepy creatures?" Sanskar asked.

"Shekhar Gadodia is in hospital, he had two bullets. Recent news is he is in critical state. Doctors are thinking to amputee his leg. He is diabetic which is increasing complications." Neil informed shrugging his shoulders.

"Good to hear that" Swara gritted her teeth.

"Make sure he gets the best treatment. I want him to be alive so he will ask for his death every day. I don't want him to escape with easy death." Sanskar smirked devilishly.

"Jaideep could not make it. He was declared dead before reaching to hospital. And your cousin he is still pulling his hairs" Neil commented.

"So much had happened in one day" Sanskar took deep breath.

"Dad is working on filing all criminal charges against him as now we have all proofs. Police arrested Mrs. Sharmishtha Gadodia and Mrs. Parvati Gadodia as well in charge of supporting Shekhar as well as torturing Swara." Neil gave first hand information to them and continued, "Niren is looking into it."

"What about media? They must be creating ruckus" Sanskar took deep breath "It's gonna give us big hit"

"You just don't worry about it. Me and Neil are there to handle everything." Swara assured.

They all talked for some time discussing about next steps.

It took three more days for Sanskar to get discharged from hospital.

He had sling on his shoulder but was mostly recovered but he was under strict surveillance of his mother and wife with additional two pair of eyes that was Divya and Reva. All four ladies of his house were behind him with either the rant of taking rest or eating healthy food or giving him lecture whenever they saw him trying to move towards his MacBook to work on Office issues.

"You should take rest Sanskar you are still not healed fully" Reva mentioned caressing his hairs. He was typing something on his Mac, finally after two weeks of strict house arrest, he was allowed to work for some hours on his Mac after consenting for endless terms and  conditions put forward by his firecracker wife.

"Reva Mom I am tired with this rest. Your daughter is so bossy. Why she is not sweet and cute like you?" Sanskar scrunched his nose grumpily keeping his head on her shoulder, "I just want to go back to office. Working there is like my stressbuster."

"Seriously Sanskar" Reva chuckled.

"I heard it Mr. Maheshwari" Swara shouted from dressing room.

"How many times should I tell you it's Sanskar for you" Sanskar became crabby.

Reva laughed brightly hearing their banter. This had become their routine from last few days.

It was night when Sanskar was watching stars. He felt two arms wrapping him from behind. He knew her touch.

"Swara" He called her pulling her in front of him.

"I felt dead from inside when I saw you covered in blood that day." Swara kept her head on his chest clutching his shirt in her fist. Even today remembering events of the day made her senses numb.

"It's all over Swara. Finally, it's all over" Sanskar wrapped his arms around her.

"Yes, it's all over but there is something still remaining" Swara stared in his eyes with soft smile, "Just one sec."

She went inside and came back raising her palm infront of Sanskar which had her sindoor dani. "Will you please fill my maang?"

Sanskar smiled and took pinch of sindoor.

"As Aditya" Swara mumbled staring at his face with moist eyes.

Sanskar jerked and stared back in her eyes.

"Janhvi waited for this day... this is her one day" Swara's voice cracked, "I .... I read .... I opened that box. I was missing you and..."

Sanskar filled her maang and pulled her in his embrace caressing her hairs. They both cried their hearts out on their fate.

"Did you know this from start?" Swara asked when they both could control their tears. They sat down on the swing and Sanskar wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"No... do you remember my accident happened in Kolkatta?" He continued when Swara nodded her head "I was saved by Aditya's Bhai and Bhabhi."

"What had happened with them?" Swara asked inquisitively and Sanskar narrated their fate.

"I wanted to tell you Swara but I know we both are very logical and practical personalities. We think from our mind first. It was hard of anyone of us to believe on the game of love destiny played with us. I tried but then I left it on our destiny." Sanskar remembered his tries when he broach the topic indirectly.

"Yes you are right. Destiny... she played her cards on every step when we were about to fell apart and brought us back together." Swara remembered their journey.

"Do you remember anything except name Aditya?" Sanskar asked with hopeful eyes.

"Nope... I was always fascinated with this name. I don't even know from when. Earlier, I tried to find out about the person in my immediate family and social circle for my association but couldn't find out and then I gave up ... but now I know it was my connection with my soulmate. From day one you had captured my all senses, my mind, my heart, my thoughts were occupied by you." Swara confessed genuinely.

"My sleeping disorder... it was related to you" Sanskar took deep breath, "Every night I used to get dream about me running behind a girl in woods. I used to try to catch her but... I used to curse that as nightmare for making me insomniac, but it was about our existence." He confessed.

"Destiny's game of love" Swara took deep breath and snuggled in his embrace "Destiny is indeed strange, when she finishes one game she starts another."

"Hmm it was truly a roller coaster ride for us. But I am glad that I found you as my soulmate. I love you Swara more than I can express and more than you can imagine" Sanskar kissed her hairs.

"I love you Sanskar forever and ever and ever" Swara closed her eyes feeling blessed in his love.

Destiny cried her heart out with happiness as her payback was complete to the soulmates.
