I have started writing a new story on SwaSan which is fantasy please do check it.

******************

Heartache aren't so easy to deal with! The most painful pain isn't of any physically. It's the inner turmoil which breaks you more and more and more!

At one side,
Swara wore a simple red outfit with no makeup on her face, her bandage on forehead was taken off with the minimial one. Her eyes were sore and red due to the tears she shed since last night up till now. Her body has no strength to do this big step but fearing for the consequences she sighed before stepping out of her room.

She took a glance over her mother and father who were standing there waiting for her.

Shekhar's heart broke watching his daughter's state.

Swara came infront of them hanging her head low, Shekhar came to her grabbing her chin with his finger and thumb

"You know when you were small around 2 or 3 year old, you use to be very careful towards your toys. You didn't let anyone touch them and if it get broken by any mean you use to sulk all day crying your eyes out for that toy. You maybe didn't remember that moment but it's still vivid in memories and My heart use to break watching you cry.
Today also my heart is breaking watching you emotionally drained beta. Don't keep your hopes down You're father is still alive and I'll do anything to keep you happy"
He assured her bring her body close to his hugging her sideways tapping her forehead

Swara hugged him back feeling his words, she felt emotional by his words and hugged him back with same warmth. She knew her father can't do anything in such situations but hearing these words from her father was far enough than anything.

*

Everyone was suppose to gather at a private Mandir which was little far from their current places.
No one was invited except the one's who knew about the wedding.

"Dad it's my wedding why did you kept it so low? I couldn't even invite any of my friends"
Complained Kavya keeping her hands crossed on chest

"My dear, The marraige is kept low but I'll keep your reception as grand as possible. Just let this marraige part over for both you and Rohan"
Vinod explain carressing his daughter's hairs

She smiled getting a good response from her dad.

"I don't know when this idiot would come"
Murmured Vinod waiting for Rohan as kept looking at the stairs

*

Rohan was buttoning up his Designer Sherwani when events of last night kept roaming in his mind

Flash back of last night

"Kavya do you even understand the meaning of what you said? If not Sanskaar's whose baby you're carrying"
Rohan asked Kavya digging his fingers in her right wrist feeling the amount of anger because of her words

"It was a mistake. One night I met an old friend of mine from States. He was here for his some work and he had a huge crush on me since beginning. I ignored his feelings as I was always invested in Sanskaar"
She narrated him incident being little tipsy and settled herself on couch

"We met and went to a club there I got drunk and in my unconsiousness I did that thing with him which I regret till now. I hated for giving myself that night because I always loved Sanskaar. It was a mistake but that mistake turned out to be my biggest nightmare when I found I was a month pregnant"
She paused taking break while Rohan grew anxious of his sister's deeds

"I wanted to abort this child because I didn't had any feelings for that guy nor do I was willing to be a mother. I broke all the strings with that guy too. But one night my perspective changed when I found Sanskaar in the same club where I use to visit. He probably was missing Swara so he came to have few drinks. He saw me but ignored my existence as usual.
That time I made a plan of making Sanskaar the target. I spiked his drink when he didn't paid attention. He was totally out of control, I took this opportunity and went to his house with him. He didn't stopped me just like he did in his normal self.
We entered his house but that Man didn't let me even touch him as he only whispered Swara's name before passing out. Only I knew how much I hated that bitch that moment"
Kavya hissed remembering the awful memory

Rohan face palmed his face as everything got clear in his eyes. Why Swara was adamant that Sanskaar wasn't guilty? Why Sanskaar was so sure that the baby was not his? He grabbed his hairs into frustration hearing how worse his sister has digged the hole for herself.

He wanted to hear everything from her but she passed out due to drinking.
It didn't take time for Rohan to understand that every proof Kavya should him was fabricated and false. And where the story has led up till now.

Flashback ends,

Rohan was in his own turmoil after finding out about his father's illegal business, Swara marrying him forcefully and his sister's deeds.

He looked at his mother's photo which was hanged on wall with garland around it

"What should I do Maa? Should I be a good man today or let everything slide?"
He asked looking at his mother's photo.

He knew if only he can take the things off his mind he can marry Swara and make her his but was he capable of hurting her that way?

*

Sanskaar with Avantika, Avinash, Sidhaant, Maahi and Kaajal came to Mandir.
Avinash didn't talked with Sanskaar since the morning and Sanskaar too didn't had strength for this.
He was already breaking inside but a tint of hope was keeping him alive which Arjun gave to him an hour before

Sanskaar had met Arjun in the hospital early morning

"Sanskaar listen to me, I know Dr. Krishnamurthy can give us something against for Kavya. If we can't stop this marraige we can atleast prove the baby isn't yours. This can make a difference"
Arjun spoke making Sanskaar nod in agreement

"Please if this is possible please do me this favour. I was feeling like to kill myself rather to go today. Please do anything you can before the marraige starts"
Sanskaar begged him. He can show everyone that he can give up easily on Swara but it was equally hard for him for letting her go.

"You hurry up go, I'll do everything I can. Don't be in any kind of stress. Leave it to me"
Arjun assured him patting his shoulder.

Sanskaar came out of his thoughts as he saw Kavya came clinging into him. She grabbed his arm

"Sanskaar, The day has finally come when you will be mine."
She said with fake smile

Sanskaar glanced a look at her and she was totally dressed as a real bride.
The Red designer lehenga with heavy jewellery and makeup.

He rolled his eyes then jerked his arm off,
"I am warning you if you want everything to be done in a good way stop clinging into me"
He said with his deep scary voice.

Kavya took a step back but still stood beside him

Sanskaar's eyes went to Swara and her family who were standing at other corner.
Swara was already looking at Sanskaar with her emotional eyes. She couldn't take her eyes off him neither did he wanted.

He smiled looking at his girl who had just a natural and simple look. She was looking so beautiful with that natural look only if he could have a chance today he would have married her right away!
She smiled back at him praying in her heart for not making this moment her last with Sanskaar.

Prakash Sen made an entry with Vinod who came with Rohan.

Prakash smirked watching everyone gather and his smirk grew bigger looking at Avinash.
He could feel his victory again watching the pitiful man once again after all these years.

Avinash's blood boiled looking at Prakash sen as he was smirking towards him

"Long time Avinash oh sorry Mr. Avinash Maheshwari"
Prakash said coming to Avinash giving him his fake smile

Avinash gritted his teeth and fisted his hands. Avantika held his arm to calm him

"Not now Avi. Hold back"
She whispered in her ears

Prakash then went to Sanskaar "You made a good choice young man. I hope you stick by your words till the end"
He said and came closer whispering in his ears "My man are all over this place if you try any stunt then Swara would be my first target then your family"

Only Sanskaar knew how he prayed for the first time in his life to kill this man for his words but he held it all back.

"Okay so since my Son is here we shall start with the marraige rituals."
Ordered Vinod to everyone

SwaSan heart clenched at his words
All four were made to sit together and the priest started chanting mantras.

Shekhar went to Avinash slowly

"When will they come?"
Shekhar voice held worry

Avinash eyes were on SwaSan "In 10 minutes. They'll surely be here before the marraige ends"

This sentence gave Shekhar relief.

Rohan looked at Swara who was sitting beside him. He noticed her injuries and felt bad how she didn't even spared him a glance

His heart was having battle on his own to choose between Swara and the truth and for some reasons he was helding himself back in fear to loose Swara

Sanskaar carressed Swara's left hand fingers secretly. Swara grabbed his hand tightly as she could. Her heart was pounding loudly as the moment was passying by. She could feel at every second she's lossing Sanskaar.

Sanskaar just gupled down his pain and held her fragile fingers in his strong grip.
His heart was breaking to see Swara sitting beside Rohan and they are marrying eachother. He didn't even let this thought cross his mind because it was breaking his heart even more as he thought her marrying that jerk.
He realised his father was right he was having the worst time of his life to witness this scene.
He prayed in his heart for Arjun bringing some sort of evidence against Kavya so he could stop this drama.

Swara didn't opened her eyes and tears kept streaming down her face as her heart was slowly giving up to the situation.

The Maheshwari's and Banerjee's saw Swara crying and Sanskaar sitting emotionless. That broke them even more.
Avinash heart was thumping waiting for the doom to arrive for Prakash and Vinod.

Sanskaar took a glance at Swara and his eyes formed tears as she was shedding tears holding his hand in her tight grip.

"Swara"
He whsipered which was audible to her. He didn't wanted her to break down like this.

The pandit announced the couples to stand up for pheras
Swara still didn't budge listening to him.

Rohan looked at Swara and he knew what he wanted to do for her.

"I am sorry, I can't do this marraige"
Rohan exclaimed standing up making everyone shocked at his statement

Swara opened her eyes as she heard Rohan's voice. Her heart already thumping because of his desicion.
She stood up with Sanskaar and Kavya.
Sanskaar was also equal amount of Shock towards this man sentence

"Bhai what are speaking?"
Asked Kavya being outraged by his brother's statement

"Don't you even dare speak to me. How can you even call me bhai from that mouth when you lied with such a brave face"
Rohan spitted anger in his words looking at her.

He glanced to Swara and his eyes went soft,

"Remember once I told you I will never be a villain in your story. I am on my words till now"
He spoke wiping her tears smiling towards her.
Swara smiled looking at him with fresh tears as she realised how wrong she was for this man.

"Care to explain what shit you're doing Rohan?"
Yelled Vinod coming towards him

"You don't have any right to shout at me dad when all you did was bad from the start till now. Did you forget I am a doctor Dad. I have given my life to my profession. My job is to mend people broken bones and you know how heartbreaking it was when I learnt you doing exactky opposite of mine. My own father is into illegal business of guns and weapons. I learnt last night you are also involved in killing many people's lives who have came in between your business. Didn't you have shame how will you face me. That's why you hided this fact from me"
Rohan said with the higher pitch so everyone in there present would be able to hear him.

Vinod looked other way after hearing his son.

Rohan went to Kavya and grabbed her shoulders with both hands
"And you, You definitely proved today you didn't bring anything of my mother triats. Your nature is worse than dad. When our mother died in childhood I promised to care and love you so you won't miss mother. But how did you turned so cruel Kavya that today you can't even see you are destroying four lives including your own brother. How can you not have shame of carrying someone's else child and telling everyone it's of Sanskaar's "
He literally yelled at the end of his sentence

Kavya widens her eyes as he revealed her dirty secret infront of them.
Everyone gasped as the secret was finally out.
Sanskaar was standing proudly that someone finally proved him non guilty.

"Bhai I never lied. It is really of Sanskaar's"
Kavya shouted at his brother

"Stop your drama Kavya enough. You have done a good drama now you should finally stop your obsession. That child belong to someone else stop blaming Sanskaar for it."
He jerked Kavya to bring her in senses

Vinod finally spoke coming to Rohan "Are you saying truth Rohan? What proofs do you have blurting it all"

Rohan rolled his eyes at him and was about to speak but a voice interrupted them

"Sorry everyone I am late. I have proofs against Kavya. The real DNA reports of Kavya's child and definitely it is not of Sanskaar"
Arjun said panting as he ran all the way to stairs to come here

Sanskaar smiled looking at Arjun
Kaajal came to Arjun rubbing his back.

"I actually hated to do this but do you'll know My dad hold some shares of the hospital and I use this card to threaten Dr. Krishnamurthy and She actually blurted truth"
His chuckled at his own sentence

Vinod took the papers and read them.

Sanskaar hugged Arjun for his help. Swara, Sidhaant and Maahi all ran to them and rejoiced together.

Kavya had her face down due to shame that now nobody woykd believe her lie.

"Why Kavya?"
Vinod whispered to his daughter who had her head hung low

Prakash gritthed his teeth in anger to see his plan flopping out

"What is going on Vinod."
Prakash yelled at his partner.

Just then everyone heard the sound of siren

"Oh I guess The commissioner is here to take the garbage away"
Said Avinash with his proud smile.

Prakash and Vinod both were taken off guards hearing that

"You Dumb Person what the fuck are you doing standing there, Do something"
Prakash yelled at Shekhar.

Shekhar smirked "Dont worry I am doing something. The whole chaos is actually have caused by me "
Shekhar laughed at his own sentence making Prakash furious of loosing his long puppet.

"We won against you. It's late but still the feeling of victory is etheral"
Avinash smirked feeling the long lost peace

"Oh I forgot My friend Vinod take this as my last peice of advice, Surrender yourself it would turn good in your case"
Shekhar yelled to Vinod. While Vinod was standing there with anger and worry

Rohan and Kavya were tensed for their father.

Sanskaar made his step towards Kavya leaving Swara for few seconds alone

"Kavya It's your time to finally let go of me. You've wasted all these years in your obsession now please stop it and Live your own life. What you want to do, What you like, What you need to achieve. Whatever you want to do just do but Let me live in peace Kavya for God's Sake. Leave me and Swara alone"
He said breaking her heart. Kavya knew this would be her last convo with Sanskaar but it felt right in her heart. Her heart fluttered at his polite and genuine tone. He always used harsh tone towards her but now his words were filled with warmth and all genuineness.

Her eyes were filled with tears feeling defeat and loosing him again 💔

"Why can't it be me Sanskaar?"
Kavya whispered looking down bitting her lower lip stopping herself from crying

"It's always "Her" Kavya. I cannot look at my life without her"
He replied with honesty.

A man rushed to Vinod

"Boss the police are coming upstairs what should we do?"
The man said nervously

"Did they killed our guards too"
Asked Vinod shifting his gaze towards the man

He nods to which Vinod fisted his hand. He can't let his role end on this pathetic note. He needed to destroy life before the higher one's catch him because he realised Shekhar has given some confidential information now it's next to impossible for him and Prakash to escape.

"Give me your gun"
Vinod ordered in whisper

The man immediately obeyed giving him his pistol

Vinod fired the bullet in air to which everyone flinched and looked into his direction.

Vinod glanced his look over Rohan and only find dissappointment in his eyes which he never wanted. He never wanted his loyal son to find out about his dark secret.

"I am sorry Rohan but I did this for your and Kavya sake. I wanted to gift you everything you desire."
Vinod spoke loudly for Rohan

Rohan's expressions changed to worry scanning the gun in his hand.

"Dad let's sort this out. Get yourself surrender and leave all this. We can start fresh again"
Rohan shivered saying those lines as he didn't knew what his father was capable of doing. He could kill anyone that moment maybe Shekhar, maybe Swara or maybe himself. He was afraid of the outcome

"Dad what are you doing? Please drop the gun. The commissioner will fire you if he sees you with that"
Kavya yelled and sobbed watching his father

"I don't care anymore. They all ruined my plan and my everything. Now I won't spare anyone in this room. I'll kill everyone and I'll start with this Bloody Sanskaar who broke my daughter's heart"
He said making Avinash and Avantika freeze at their spot.

Swara widens her eyes and heart started beating faster as she heard his sentence.

"Please no"
She whispered to herself as she again had bleeding from nose

Her heart rate falled and a sudden blackout formed her eyes as she heard the gun shot towards Sanskaar.

"I am trying my best to find you Sanskaar but where are you?"
Swara spoke to herself roaming alone in her dark dream.
There was no light just her finding him.
She was crying remembering the last memory she had. She remembered Vinod firing towards Sanskaar.
She could feel the pain she's feeling inside her heart of not being able to see Sanskaar again. She would be lonely forever living her journey of life Incomplete.
She wasn't brave enough to open her eyes and wake from the dream because the reality was worse than this. She could feel more pain and she wasn't ready for this pain turning to real in no moments.

"Swara, Hey Swara"
She could hear his faint voice in this dark road. She got up and run to find the man behind that voice but couldn't find any.

"Swara wake up, It's a dream"
Swara opened her teary eyes getting a jolt in her body. She saw Sanskaar sitting there in his doctor's gown in the hospital

She raised her arm to his face which was perfectly fine just with old wounds of previous day . She for a second thought that this could be a dream but his warm skin felt too real for the dream. She cried looking in his worried eyes for her.

"You won't listen to me right? How many times will you break my heart by not taking care of yourself and ending up in the hospital?"
Sanskaar whispered being himself teary eyes carressing her face.

"I thought I lost you. I was all alone in my dream. It felt so real. I -"
She wasn't able to complete her own sentence as she sobbed crushing herself into his chest holding him close. She was so happy to find him safe in her arms.

"Sshhh Love it was a dream see I am fine. It's over, It's all over."
He said making her sit on bed stroking her back as she sobbed hard in his chest. The feeling of seeing him die was that thing which she would never want to see. She would rather have herself die painfully than to see him die.

He held her closely without uttering anything just let her cry as she want.

After some minutes she stopped crying and wiped her cheeks

"It's fine okay. I am here with you healthy and yours"
He said with a small real smile of his.

"What happened? How did I end up here? And what happened to Kavya's father? I did heard the gun shot sound before I collapsed, Then?"
She asked wiping her nose looking in his eyes

Sanskaar exhaled deeply remembering the painful memory

"He did fired the bullet on me but Kavya took the bullet for me"
He exclaimed painfully

Swara gasped knowing the truth

"What?"
She whispered

Sanskaar narrated her the flashback

Flashback
Sanskaar stood there blankly as he fired in his direction.
Swara falled unconscious in Sharmishta's arms watching the scene and all the family and friends members shouted for Sanskaar
But on the right moment Kavya pushed Sanskaar and the bullet went through her stomach causing her to yelp in pain

"KAVYA"
Rohan yelled as he felt the ground of his being snatched away

She was about to fall but Sanskaar caught her in his arms.
Rohan came running to her figure

"Kavya hey Kavya"
He said weakly looking at his baby sister who clutched her bleeding stomach in her hands. She was dripping blood from her mouth
Sanskaar kept his hand on her stomach to stop bleeding

"Kavya can you hear me stay with me"
Sanskaar yelled with worried face. He never wanted someone else to die in case of him. He maybe despised Kavya his entire life but watching her state like this did broke his heart a little.

"What the fuck did you do? You fired your own daughter dad"
Rohan yelled at Vinod as tears streamed down his face watching Kavya gasping for air.

Vinod mind went blank watching his daughter's state. He didn't think twice to take another action and that was to end his life

Everyone flinched as the heard another gun sound which came from Vinod side as he ended his own life.
Avantika clutched Avinash's arms tightly looking at his dead body.
Sharmishta held Swara more closely in her arms watching the scenes and being scared of her daughter.
While Rohan felt someone snatched his heart in a matter of seconds watching his family die

"Dad, Dad no"
He shouted and ran to his dead father's figure

He cried looking at his face which was smeared in blood

Sanskaar glanced his look towards Kavya again who was breathing her last

"Kavya be with me. I'll save you no matter what"
He spoke checking her pulse

"M my baby won't surr survive, Right?"
She shuttered as tears escaped her eyes feeling the pain of death coming close to her

"I'll make sure to save you. Just be with me"
He was about to take her but she held his hand

"Let- Me- Die. I-Will-Accept-This. I am-Sorry-for-everything. This-is-my-destiny-and I-am- happy- saving-you. Now-you-can-live-in- Peace"
She whispered shuttering which made Sanskaar's heart clenched

Sanskaar knew Kavya won't survive till the time they reach hospital.
He looked to Rohan who was crying hugging his father's body.

"ROHAN"
He yelled his name. He knew Rohan should be there with his sister during her last time

Rohan looked at Sanskaar then realised of Kavya's condition.
He hurriedly went to his sister.

Every single member present there had tears looking at Rohan except Prakash.

"Kavya you will be fine. Sanskaar treat my sister please don't let her die"
Rohan begged and bursted into sob looking his sister's condition

Sanskaar was finding hard not to cry looking at them. He felt worst watching Kavya's state because of him

"I-am Sorry Bhai please forgive your sister and remember me always"
She said these words as her last before closing her eyes.

Rohan nudged her lifeless body but she gave no response.
Sanskaar's blood went cold feeling Kavya die in his arms.

"Kavya wake up Kavya"
Rohan yelled jerking her body but it was of no use.

Kaajal, Maahi bursted into cry watching Rohan's state.
Arjun came to Rohan and stopped his act by helding him close

"She's gone Rohan"
He said these words making Rohan's world fall apart. Just two days before everything was fine. He had a perfect family dinner with his dad and his sister then how did it went wrong, He wondered?

"My Kavya"
Rohan cried holding his arms vulnerably. Kavya was like his baby since the childhood. He couldn't even imagine she's no more

"She was such a fool till the end"
Thought Sanskaar as a tear fall from his eye.

Flashback ends

Swara's tears didn't stopped

"Shedoesn't know what favour she had done on me by doing that thing. I would be grateful to her till the day I die"
She said hugging Sanskaar finding him safe

"She always did something for me to hate her. Then why she choosed this end. I can't even hate her anymore. I wish I could've saved her"
Sanskaar's regret was evident through his words

"How is Rohan?"
Swara asked parting herself away

"Probably at his home. He needs time to come out from the trauma"
Sanskaar said and Swara looked at the time which showed 1am at night.

She realised she was unconscious for a whole day

"Then was Prakash Sen arrested by police?"
She asked

"Swara, There's still more"
He hitched saying the last part

"What's now?"
She widened her eyes as she could feel her heartbeat on race

"Swara you need to be calm. This won't be easy but your condition is still weak so listen to me carefully"
Sanskaar held her palm in his nervously

"Tell me Sanskaar what is it?"
Swara yelled a little loosing her control

Sanskaar narrated the last part

***

As soon as Sanskaar gave Kavya to Rohan he scanned the whole room to find Swara and was surprised to find her unconsciously lying down in Sharmishta's lap.

He rushed to her

"Swara, what happened to her?"
He asked tapping her cheeks

"She might have fallen unconscious watching the scenario. But her pulse is normal"
Kaajal reassured him.

He sighed and wiped the blood oozing from her nose

Prakash took this as an opportunity and was about to run away when Shekhar kicked him hard so he fall on floor

"The commissioner is here. Where are you running away without getting punished Mr. Great Prakash Sen"
Shekhar smirked watching Prakash's state
He was happy from inside that in the end he could do something which he could be proud of and most of all he wanted to do something good for his long lost friend Avinash!

"We are here to arrest you Mr. Prakash. You have a right to hire a lawyer at our chamber"
The higher official spoke pulling his gun out

"It feels so right today. Finally the good prevails evil in the end"
Avinash exclaimed happily looking over at Shekhar who had the same smile as his.
Finally he took his all revenge which the old man did to him from parting Sharmishta from him to hurting his child. His heart felt at peace now.

Prakash looked over the gun which lied two inches away from his hand. He took this chance and grabbed the gun in his hand

"You are wrong Avinash In the end it's always bad which wins because we all are bad in our own ways."
He said scarily pointing the gun at Avinash

"No Dad"
Sanskaar said to himself watching the scene. His heart clenched to imagine the outcome now. He ran towards him

The commissioner was fast to shoot Prakash first directly on his chest for his stunt but Prakash too fired from his gun before falling behind

Avinash closed his eyes but someone grabbed his body.

He opened his eyes to see Shekhar was facing him shelding him
Avinash held him quickly and saw the blood on his own hand when he touched his back.

Shekhar blocked the bullet to save him

"Shekhar"
Sharmishta yelled his name

Prakash sen was already dead by now

"I am glad I saved you. Take this as my last apology"
Shekhar said smiling weakly looking at Avinash

Avinash didn't knew how to react but his heart clenched holding him close

"Sanskaar, Arjun hurry up"
Avinash yelled both of their names

Sharmishta came to Shekhar and lost her control on her knees watching her husband Condition. Avantika quickly went to her to support

"Shekhar don't close your eyes"
She said trying hard not to fall weak

"I am sorry Sharmishta for everything"
He whispered trying hard not to fall unconsious

Arjun and Sanskaar both came and examined him.

"We should hurry up and rush to hospital."
Arjun said to Sanskaar who nodded his head

Avinash and Arjun carried Shekhar with them.
While Sanskaar carried unconscious Swara in his arms

*
In hospital,
Arjun and Sanskaar both were about to enter to operate on Shekhar

"Sanskaar you need to make sure he lives. Give your everything but just save him"
Avinash held his son arm in desperation. Maybe he couldn't utter certain words but his feelings were on verge.

Sanskaar wore his mask nodding to his words

"Maahi check on Swara's condition and call me if it's serious"
Sanskaar tell Maahi before entering into operation theatre

Flashback ends

Swara's body went froze listening about her dad

"He's fine right? He survived"
She asked but her heartbeat couldn't get normal. Her mind got totally blank listening to it. She was about to get off the bed when he stopped her

"Swara calm down sit, We saved him. Relax"
Sanskaar reassured her holding her palms

She couldn't control her tears listening to him

"You aren't lying right?"
Swara asked holding his hand tightly

"Swara we did actually saved him. He is out of danger but he was shot at his spine. Arjun tried his best treating him but the bullet did damage to his nerves alot. Due to this affect his legs would be paralyzed. I am sorry"
Sanskaar muttered the words in total sadness. He knew the damage was already done and he can't undo things now

Swara's heart clenched hearing his words. How much they had to pay for their freedom

Sanskaar wiped her tears

"Swara you need to be strong. Your mother needs you who's crying uncontrollably for you and your father. You need to be strong and give your father strength to continue his life further. I am there with you. We'll get through this together"
He said pulling her in a side hug to comfort her

Outside,

Avinash and Avantika didn't left Sharmishta's side who was sitting quietly on chair looking at her fingers.
The younger one's went home on Avinash's insistence except for Sanskaar who was with Swara.

"Let's come and eat something. You haven't eaten anything since Morning"
Avantika said holding her hand

"I don't have any appetite. You both can go ahead and eat"
Sharmishta whispered looking at Avinash who was standing looking at her with hands clossed

"I know this is hard time for you Sharmishta but you need strength for your husband and your daughter. You will fall weak if this continues"

"What's the use anyway to stay strong. Life has always given me hurdles. I have always tried to stay strong but I can't do it anymore. On one side my daughter is unwell and other side my husband. I don't know why life is cruel to me"
Her vision got blurry as she had the fresh tears escaping her eyes

Avantika didn't knew which worsa could heal her or give her strength

"You need to be strong, For your husband. He might be needing you the most once he wakes up"
Avinash spoke to Sharmishta after decades now. She glanced towards him who was already looking at her

"I'll bring coffee for us"
Avantika said getting up and moving to Avinash

"Speak to her, I'll be right back"
Avantika whispered in his ears. Avinash wanted to stop her but she reassured him that she's fine

Avantika and Sharmishta were alone in the corridor, Avinash sat on chair beside Sharmishta maintaing his own distance

"Do you still hate me?"
Sharmishta started the conversation feeling the unknown tension

"No. I did before and that was the reason I couldn't accept Swara because she was a copy of you. She reminded me of you so I also built a hatred for her along with you both but since I heard from Sanskaar your side of story I regretted my thoughts. I understood what painful path you have to go through that time. It must have been hard for you that time"
He said looking at her face. The feelings, The words which he kept hidden were finally opening like a book in front of her

"To be honest, I did had a hard time. In the initial years after marraige, I didn't even communicated with Shekhar. We just lived under same roof without even talking. He was that much considerate to give me my space. After time passed I accepted my life with him. And then I tried being his perfect wife. Eventually after 6 years of marraige we had Swara. The journey with him wasn't that easy. It was filled with just formalities and duties towards eachother"
She said speaking her heart out in front of him. She always wanted this moment to happen. To sort things out with Avinash some day

"Now when I look back Avinash, I realised long back I accepted him as my husband and unknowingly I deeply cared and loved him. I want to request you too please try to please forgive him, Though he has given you pain that day but try to forget it
She smiled in tears adjusting to the reality.

"Don't worry I am not that heartless person Sharmishta. I won't hold any grudges against your husband"
He chuckled to make her smile

"I am happy for you that you got someone who loves u the way you deserve. Your wife is beautiful"
Sharmishta smiled looking at him with genuine eyes

"She is something more than I deserve. I guess Our Incomplete journey was completed beautifully with our partners"
The way they looked at eachother after this words left out his mouth said everything.

Some journey's are beautiful if it remain incomplete.

3 days later,

Swara was still admitted due to Sanskaar's persistence. Sanskaar took a great care of her in these 2 days and the result was she was healing slowly. But something was bothering her.

Since last night she had a bad stomach ache and continuous vommitting.
She was sitting on her bed after a session of vommitting. Something didn't felt right with her.
She knew her periods were missed of this month. She realised its been long a month since she and Sanskaar got intimate together. She didn't wanted to jump to conclusions but What if?

She didn't wanted to think further so she rushed Ob-gyn department to the doctor who performed surgery on her.

"Swara, The results are actually positive you are a month pregnant, Congratulations. Didn't I said you post the surgery the chances would increase of your pregnancy"
The doctor smiled looking at her

"Is it true Dr. Tara, I am going to be a mother. It's not a dream right?"
She asked with teary eyes feeling her heart would get out due to happiness

"It is true Swara. But there are complications too with it. You have been lately in a lot of stress and due to your last miscarraige there would a lot of complications to this pregnancy. I am sure we can handle it but it could be dangerous for your health. Are you ready to risk it?"
The doctor said making Swara to go in instant worry. For Swara this was no less than miracle or blessing. There wasn't any different thought at what she'll choose because she won't ever think of abortion

The other side,
Sanskaar went to check on Shekhar inside who still didn't regained consiousness.
Avinash and Avantika came for some hours of trio days to give company to Sharmishta.

"Don't you regret anything?"
Asked Avantika to Avinash as they both were standing together distanced from Sharmishta

"Huh? Like what?"
Avinash asked cluelessly

"Like watching her today. Didn't it made you sad or regret?"
She asked curiously

"I don't regret anything. If I hadn't lost her then I wouldn't have found my blessing."
Avinash said proudly holding her hands

"We aren't any tennage lovers Avinash. Stop it"
She said blushing

"For me you are the same beautiful women who loved me selflessly years before. I can't beleive I got so lucky"
He chuckled watching her expressions

"You're making me blush alot. Stop it"
She said pinching his arm lightly

"I am sorry Avantu for all the things I caused you. I even seperated your son years before from you because of my ego and self anger. I am sorry for not listening to you. You'd forgive me, right?"
He asked with his innocent eyes which Ssnskaar inherited from him

"I will but only on one condition. Accept Swara"
She demanded crossing her hands.
He could sense she was adamant to make him accept Swara

He was about to speak something when Sanskaar came out of ICU

"Shekhar uncle had regained consiousness Dad. Sharmishta aunty he'sasking for you"
Sanskaar said coming towards them

Sharmishta's heart skipped a beat and she ran inside without even waiting for anyone

Sanskaar called Swara on call to gave her this news.

Time skip

Shekhar was shifted to normal ward and he was aware about his condition.
Sharmishta and Swara were seated beside him giving him strength hiding back their tears.

Avinash finally gathered up his courage to meet him.
He entered the ward with Avantika. Shekhar looked at him and smiled seeing him safe.

Sharmishta got uo from her seat to let Avinash sit on it.

Sanskaar was already inside watching all the things quietly

"Why did you took the bullet for me?"
Asked Avinash in his cold tone

"I just saved my friend. I thought this might be the only way to escape from my guilt"
Shekhar's eyes fixed on his face

"Since beginning you are like this right, Always make up your own conclusion. Do you really think you could escape the guilt without my forgivness"
Avinash's eyes bored at him

Swara started bitting her nails in nervousness as she couldn't see the conversation going good

"I don't blame you anymore Shekhar. You did choosed the wrong path but you were blinded in love. I forgive you Now! But still this doesn't give you a chance to jump into dangers for me. Now see what condition you made to yourself now am at guilt"
Avinash scold him lightly

Shekhar chuckled "Don't be in any sort of guilt. I actually did a lot of bad things in life. I couldn't be a good human in starting then I went on to not become a good husband then not a good father"
His tone went deeper as he mentioned Sharmishta and Swara

Both the ladies looked at with teary eyes

"This is like a punishment to me for treating them bad. This would be hard but I'll continue living in this"
Shekhar said with a warm smile. After decades he was smiling from his heart

Sharmishta came and held his hand in hers. Shekhar smiled looking at her and finally feeling her love for him 💕

Avinash smile a little before getting up from his seat and making his way to Swara

Swara's breath hitched as she felt him approaching her

"I am sorry dear."
These words came out softly from his mouth which made Avantika and Sanskaar shocked

Swara widens her eyes looking at his face adjusting his words

"You didn't deserved any of my hatred. You were always pure soul who stood by my Idiot son. I want to Thank you from the bottom of my heart Swara for being the support of him. I know I was bad in past for not accepting you. But now I realise you are more than perfect for my son. Please forgive me for my harsh behaviour Swara!"
He said carressing her hairs

She never imagined Avinash saying those lines to her. Sanskaar's eyed were filled with tears to see his father finally accepting Swara after every chaos it's happening

"Shekhar will you allow now to let your daughter marry my Son again so I could keep her as my daughter. "
He glanced look towards Shekhar who was already looking at them fondly

Swara looked at Sanskaar with teary eyes after hearing his lines.
Their eyelock was so precious as it held all the emotions they felt since the start.
How they were the ones who rejected them harshly were now agreeing for their marraige

"Swara I take my curse back and instead I'll give you my blessing for whole life that you stay always happy with Sanskaar. There's no man who could keep you happy as this man does."
Shekhar said making Swara proud at Sanskaar

"It's all over now Shona. You can be with Sanskaar happily. Now no one will seperate you both"
Sharmishta was the one now who spoke now feeling the happiness for her daughter as finally she would be happily settled

"I can't beleive it. My both son will be getting married soon"
Avantika came to Swara kissing her forehead and taking her in warm embrace

"Finally your true love made us all weak and united after all. Now complete your Incomplete journey together"
Avinash spoke before pushing Swara lightly to Sanskaar

Sanskaar grabbed Swara's waist smiling brightly. "This is how you feel after winning" He said to himself looking beside Swara

The all four started discussing the marraige thing wheareas Swara looked at Sanskaar

"Are you happy?"
She asked when happiness was evident from her eyes only

"I am more than happy today Swara. No news can give me this much happiness now."
He spoke hugging her secretly from them

"I bet I have another one for you"
She says lowering her tone

"Let's bet"
He said enthusiastically

"Listen now, Sanskaar I had undergone surgery of my uterus when I was admitted during car accident. After surgery the chances of me accepting baby were something and I got news today am a month pregnant"
She blurted all the things whispering infront of him making him widens his eyes

"YOU WHAT PREGNANT"
He yelled to which it was clear in all their ears

Swara face palmed herself saving herself from embrassement

"Who's pregnant"
Avinask asked being the calmed one

"Swara are you for real. You both aren't even married yet"
Sharmishta gasped listening to her news

Swara gave death glare to Sanskaar "Just get me out of here. I'll kill you for sure"
She thought looking angrily at Sanskaar wheareas Sanskaar made a puppy face

"And here I thought my son is innocent one"
Avinash said dramatically

"Now I am definitely confirmed he brought all your genetics. Like father like son"
Avantika said crossing her arms and smirking at him

"Dad I am sorry"
Swara said feeling Shekhar's gaze on her

"Don't worry. I am not angry. Let's get you married within some days."
He reaasured saying those lines and trying to be a good father for her

"Thank you everyone now please excuse us"
He said grabbing Swara's wrist and pulling her out to some corner of hospital

"Are you for real Swara? When and how you found out?"
He bombarded her with questions

She slowly narrated him everything

"It's little complicated but everything will be fine"
She assured him taking his hand

Sanskaar's smile fade away

"Swara as long as I am happy for this child I am corncerned for you love. Don't take any step which will ruin your health. As I said before I am fine without a kid. I just need you in this journey"
Sanskaar said being scared for loosing her now after all the shits happened

"Nothing will happen to me. I will consult the best gynecologist. This would be hard but not impossible and I really don't wanna loose this chance. Please I can't loose to be a mother again"
She said being teary eye remembering their harsh flashback making Sanskaar fall weak

"I'll personally check upto 3 months. If the baby is in healthy position and if the chances of delivery is safe for you both then only we will continue with this"
He said crossing his hands to which she nodded tearfully

"Yes My Dr. Maheshwari"
She said cheerfully

"I love you Ms. Nerdy for the rest of my life and infinity"
He kissed her forehead pulling her in a tight hug

"I love you too Sanskaar. Thank you for coming again and choosing to walk on this journey with me"
She spoke holding his back

"Thank you for not giving me an Incomplete Journey of my life"
Sanskaar hugged her as tightly as he could remembering there's no one now who will seperate her from him.

And this is how Two Souls were connected to eternity.

*The end*
