Hello friends, sorry if you all felt I am concentrating more on Ragini than Swasan...I don't know why suddenly I felt like writing Sanskar and Ragini friendship. Please bear with me.

And a temporary cover by me.

How is it?

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

All the children left, and as Swara was leaving too, Sanskar: Swara...(Swara turned towards him) I love you...

Swara widened her eyes hearing him: What??

Sanskar coming into sense by her shout: I mean I love your voice. You really sing well.

Swara smiled and left downstairs along with Aman.

Sanskar stood there smiling all to himself when he heard "Only voice", he turned back to find Ragini standing there folding her hands across her chest.

Ragini raising her eyebrows and asked: you like only her voice.

Sanskar not looking at Ragini replied: ha...

Ragini: really Sanskar?

Sanskar ruffling his hair: okay listen...I lost my mother when I was 12 years old. From then on, this Sanskar has turned into stone without emotions which are recently broken by your sister's voice which resembles my mother. It is true that I love her voice and of course I love her too.

Ragini: I knew it. vahi tho mein sochu ithna busy Sanskar Maheshwari ki dates hume ithni bar ithni asani se kaise mil rahi hai...(I was thinking how come we are meeting the busiest man so many times that too so easily). Swara was telling ki there is something fishy. Though she did research on you but couldn't find even one negative aspect about you☺ except your attitude and arrogance.

Sanskar smiled: you don't know how happy I am today... I just wish your sister will accept me. Ragini you have to promise me that you won't reveal this to your sister. I want to tell it myself.

Ragini understanding him: okay baba promise. I won't tell anyone about this.

Both of them were descending the stairs lost in their talk.

Sanskar: You know what I was actually confused between you both as of whose voice I loved the most and thank god it is Swara, if not I had to fight with that Laksh for your hand. (Saying it he chuckled earning glares from Ragini)

Before they could utter any further word, as Sanskar opened the door that leads to the dining hall, a bucket full of spiders fell on him with a loud sound and he shouted "yikes" removing them with a scary look. Ragini was just standing there not understanding what happened but reality stuck her when she heard the laughter. As they turned in that direction, they found Aman and Swara along with few children rolling down with laughter.

Swara trying to compose herself: Your friend Aman had told me that you are fond of spiders and this is my way of saying thank you for your compliment.

Saying it she ran from there laughing followed by Aman who felt it safe to be with this little devil rather than facing that big devil.

Sanskar roared: Aman, come back...I am not leaving you. 

Turning towards Ragini who was still laughing remembering Sanskar's scared face: will you please stop?

Ragini controlling her laugh: seriously Sanskar, they are just fake spiders. The dare and dashing Sanskar Maheshwari is scared of spiders...what a news...(she again burst out into laughter)

After five minutes, looking at Sanskar's grim face, she tried putting up a serious face but failed miserably. 

Sanskar: Ragini is she really your sister? I mean not even one quality is similar between you both. She is a crazy girl.

Ragini laughing: ha and now nothing can be done. She is my sister and your love too. Jaise hai vaise hi apnana padega(you have to accept her like that only. Nothing can be done)

Sanskar smiled: I would love to enjoy this craziness forever.

After spending some quality time with the kids, four of them left for their respective destinations. As days passed by, Swara, Ragini, and Sanskar started meeting more frequently leaving poor Aman in the office to look after the business. Sometimes Laksh too joined them.

Ragini many times, made excuses to make sure that Swara and Sanskar spent maximum private time as she felt Sanskar is the correct one for Swara.

Ragini(in mind): I just wish Swara accepts Sanskar's love. It is very rare to find a boy who respects his wife as his mother. He would take care of her like a princess. My sister is lucky.

Soon Ragini's exams got completed and three of them were celebrating with a cream stone ice cream. Then Swara got a call,

Swara: Hello...what really mom....great. We are coming now.

This is what Sanskar and Ragini could hear and they were eagerly waiting to know what had made their Shona so excited.

Swara: Guess what di...mom and dad are in Mumbai. Come, let's go. (Turning towards Sanskar) You too join us Sanskar, Laksh is also there.

Sanskar nodded in agreement and all of them left to their farmhouse where Swara's parents along with Malhotra's were waiting for their daughters. As the car rode in, Swara and Ragini jumped out in excitement to meet their parents while Sanskar followed. As they went in, Sanskar stopped looking at a man who was welcoming Swara and Ragini.

Both the girls went and hugged him calling "dad". Hearing that Sanskar felt that someone pulled the ground beneath him and he started moving back with rage clearly visible in his eyes. Swara and Ragini looked at Sanskar and they called him: come in.

Holding his fists tightly, he turned back and went away not wanting to do something which he would regret later. Both the girls were just standing at the entrance not understanding the sudden change in the behavior of their close friend.

Shekar(Swara's dad): Ragini beta come inside, your in-laws are waiting for you.

Ragini obliged and went in while Swara was just standing there trying to make out the reason behind Sanskar's sudden dismissal. After a few minutes, convincing herself that she would call him and talk to him later, she joined her family. 

On the other side, we could see a man who is shouting while the other person was trying to pacify him.

Sanskar: Yar Aman, I gave you such simple work but you couldn't do that perfectly either.

Aman worried looking at his friend's devastated state: What happened Sanskar?

Sanskar: you know who are they...they are the daughters of Mr. Shekar Gadodia, the man whom I hate the most. I feel shame on myself for comparing my mom with his daughter. How could I do that? My mom will never forgive me for this sin. (He started breaking all the things in the house and in this process he was hurting himself. He had pushed Aman aside who came to stop him)

Aman: Sanskar, stop it and tell me clearly what happened?

Sanskar turning back: shift the headquarters to Delhi and change all my contact numbers. Appoint someone eligible to take care of Mumbai's branch, we are leaving to Delhi tonight, book flight tickets.

Aman: but Sanskar so suddenly...

Sanskar: I don't want to keep any contacts with those girls and cancel Malhotra's partnership as well. Now, get lost from my sight and leave me alone.

Aman knowing his friend's anger, he left silently and both of them left the city leaving Swara who was trying hard to contact Sanskar.

On the same night, Gadodia's and Malhotra's left after fixing the marriage date which is after two months. Later as Swara was dialing Sanskar's number for the nth time, Ragini looking at Swara's tensed face,

Ragini: Swara, is everything alright?

Swara: Di, Sanskar is not answering my calls, Aman's phone is not reachable as well. I don't know I am not getting good vibes.

Ragini holding Swara's shoulders: Relax Shona, they might be busy with some business meetings. You know right sometimes to talk with US clients, they stay in the office for long hours. You don't take tension, tomorrow morning the first thing we will do is to go to their office. Okay, now come and sleep peacefully.

Swara just laid down beside her sister but sleep was far away from her eyes. 

Swara's pov: Hey Bhagawan I just wish Sanskar is fine. I don't know why today when Sanskar was leaving, I felt as if he was going away from me for a long time. (tears automatically started flowing from her eyes thinking about living life in his absence) And I just can't let that happen. Tomorrow morning, at any cost I am going to confess my feelings to him no matter what.

Thinking all these she drifted off to sleep. The next morning as she woke up, she got ready in 30 minutes and ran out taking Ragini with her not even letting her have breakfast. They both reached SM industries. Leaving Ragini to park the car, Swara rushed into the reception.

Swara: Is Sanskar in?

Receptionist: No mam, sir is not in the office.

Swara: oh!! can I get his house address?

Receptionist: Sorry mam, sir left Mumbai and he had strictly warned us not to disclose his whereabouts to anyone. 

Swara shocked: what do you mean by he left ha... he can't go like that. How can he leave me? (she was crying like hell sitting there when Ragini came in) 

Seeing Swara like that Ragini immediately hugged her: Shona why are you crying? Sanskar will be alright bacha...don't cry, please. (Looking her baby sister like that, tears started forming in Ragini's eyes too)

Ragini after knowing the matter called Laksh: hello Laksh!! Do you know where Sanskar can be? I mean you are business partners, right?

Laksh: No Ragini, I was trying to contact him since morning but of no use. His secretary Aman has canceled our partnership giving some lame excuses. Don't know what's wrong with them.

Hearing it Ragini started worrying as to how she would handle her sister now who is deeply in love with Sanskar.

Getting no response from the other side, Laksh: I will be coming to Mumbai today. Take care of Swara and yourself too.

Saying which he cut the call. Ragini took Swara home.

For about three months, they searched for Sanskar in various branches of his office but of no use. Meanwhile, Ragini and Laksh got married but as Ragini didn't want to leave Swara alone, Laksh too stayed in Mumbai itself. 

One day,

Laksh: I am not understanding how can someone just disappear into thin air within one night. 

Swara without any expressions on her face: Leave it jiju, we can search for someone who is missing but we can't search for someone who doesn't want us to find him. If we are destined to be together then destiny will surely make us meet. (silence prevailed in the room. No one understood what to say) He used to say right that my voice is similar to his mom's. I will also become a singer like his mother, maybe then...(stuttering because of tears) then he would come back to me.

Looking at her little sister who is trying to be brave, Ragini cupped Swara's face and kissed her forehead wishing all the happiness to her. From then on Swara totally concentrated on her academics and music and always kept herself busy so that she won't have time to remember Sanskar.

Precap: leap of 2 years.

So, here I end today's part. Hope it is not that boring. 

What do you think why Sanskar left Swara?

How will they meet now?

Do give your views and ha Never forget to smile.
