Hey guys I am sorry for my irregular updates. I will try to update regularly now onwards. Now enjoy reading.

Let's start....

Sanskar came out after 20 minutes getting freshen up and saw Swara who was sleeping peacefully without worry. He came near her after keeping towel on chair and found her in deep sleep who was cuddling herself like a baby. He stood for awhile staring at her face which was glowing in moonlight which was coming through transparent glass window. He sat beside her making sure that she was asleep and kept looking at her angelic face with pure heart. She looked rough outside but she is indeed baby from inside which he was seeing her now only. Her hairs were falling on her face disturbing his sight so he slowly removed hairs from her face making Swara stir in sleep with sudden contact of cold touch of his hand and Sanskar quickly pulled back of his hand and going to get up from bed but Swara held his left hand which was on bed in sleep making Sanskar's heart beat raise. He looked at their hands and then at Swara who was sleeping peacefully by holding his hand. He slowly removed his hand from her clutch and got up from bed immediately and then covered her with comforter and moved towards his side with still fast beating heart. He kept his eye glasses on side table and lied on bed then looked at her who was looking calm and peace. He put his right hand on his left chest where his heart was beating fast like it was running marathon. He closed his eyes while trying to control his heart beat with deep breathe and then he closed his eyes after switching off the bed lamp.

At SG Office

Swara was engrossed in her work and heard knock on door. She asked to come in.

Sanskar entered after getting permission and came near Swara but Swara was deeply engaging in her work so she didn't notice Sanskar.

"Mam" Sanskar called her by seeing her who hadn't notice him still.

Swara looked up suddenly by listening Sanskar's voice.

"Oh sorry, I didn't notice that it's you" Swara said with apologitic face by seeing him.

"It's ok Mam" Sanskar said with light smile. Swara kept staring at him making Sanskar confuse. Sanskar looked around see that if anything would have wrong so that Swara was staring something.

"First thing, don't call me Mam. You know it's feel awkward for me" Swara says while making faces.

"And second thing, you don't need to knock on door for everytime" Swara told him.

"Hmm...Swara it's office, here you are my boss and I am assistant so it's not good to call you by name and what will other employees think?" Sanskar justified his word.

"Ok I understood, you can call me mam when we are at outside but when we are alone, you just call me Swara ok?" Swara asked him and looked at him for his reply.

"Ok" Sanskar said while nodding his head little with smile.

"Ok tell me why you came here?" Swara asked him by seeing him holding a file.

"Oh! Yes, This is project proposal from KG Company " Sanskar said while giving her file.

"Proposal?" Swara asked him with confusingly.

"Yes" Sanskar said while handling file to her. Swara took it and started to read.

"KG Company sent proposal to work with them for upcoming project and benefits will be 50:50 for both company" Sanskar said what was written in paper. Swara looked up at him from file.

"It's Smart City project which we lost last time?" Swara said while reading.

"Why would they only sent proposal to our company? It's not a difficult thing for them to do project alone and more over any company never think of sharing their profit with another company when they obviously knew about getting huge profit from this project?" Swara put her doubt infront of him.

"Yes, Not company would think like that but they are different" Sanskar said with deep thought. Swara looked at him with raised eyebrow by listening him.

"I mean, I heard about them that they have never given this opportunity to anyone but why our company?" Sanskar also expressed his doubt about choosing SG company.

"Might be they would have found our company"s capability and impressed with our work" Sanskar said in casual tone.
Swara looked at him with surprised as well as suspicious eyes. Sanskar quickly averted his gaze by feeling her gaze on him.

"How much did you study about them?" Swara asked him with questionable eyes.

"Nothing, it's just I heard lot about them from my old colleagues when I was working in previous cafe" Sanskar said with sheepish smile. Swara's smile vanished as soon as she heard about his words.

"Cafe?" Swara asked him confusingly.

"Yes, I used to work in KG Company cafe before joining this company so most of the employees used to talk about their company" Sanskar said casually but Swara felt something was stirred in her heart by listening him.

"Hmm" Sara just replied making Sanskar confuse but he ignored it.

"Swara" Sanskar called her by seeing her being lost in her thoughts.

"Swara" This time Sanskar called her by little loud.

"Hmm" Swara looked up at him who has a confused face.

"Sorry" Swara said as soon as she came into sense.

"Are you ok?" Sanskar asked her with concern

"Yes, I am absolute fine, it's just that I was thinking something." Swara said with light smile by seeing his worried face.

"What you think about this proposal?"Sanskar asked her

"This is best opportunity for any company. Who wouldn't have refused this opportunity to work with top company but I am little confused about this. Why they are giving this opportunity to us instead of doing on their own. And most importantly it's profitable project so no one ready to give their chance to another one. Is there any conspiracy behind this?" Swara said with suspicious thought.

"I don't think so because as per my opinion they will fight with face to face not from behind and cunning" Sanskar said.

"Why do I feel like you are defending them?" Swara asked him with raised eyebrow.

"Nothing like that, I just told with my own experience" Sanskar said with meeky tone. Swara looked at him with for a minute.

"Ok I believe your words and most importantly I trust you" Swara said with genuine smile and Sanskar smiled by listening her.

"Take appointment with KG Company and I want to talk with them before giving our approval"Swara told Sanskar.

"Yes, I will" Sanskar said and went out
Swara looked at the way he went out.

"Why do I feel like Harsha is hiding something from me? I need to talk with Kaka"Swara thought in her mind and resumed her work

It was afternoon 1 pm, Swara was deeply engrossed in her work and someone peeked inside the door and then slowly entered the room without making sound. That person slowly came near Swara's table and stood infront of her table then also Swara didn't lift her head to see.

"Harsha do you want something?" Swara said without looking the person who was standing infront of her.

"Who is Harsha?" That person asked her with serious tone and questionable eyes.
Swara instantly looked up by listening familiar voice and got shocked as well as surprised.

"Ragini"Swara whispered with surprised and happiness. She got up from her seat and rushed towards Ragini and going to hug but Ragini showed her hand to stop.

"Ragini what happened?"Swara asked her with confused by seeing her serious face.

"Seriously! You are asking me what happened? Don't you know the reason?"Ragini questioned her with still angry tone.

"Ragini ohh! I want...ed...."Swara stopped in-between by seeing her serious face.

"God! Please!!! help me, I don't know how to convince her. Look like she is very angry" Swara murmured her breath.

"What are you blabbering?" Ragini asked her with narrowed look.

"Nothing! Just..." Swara was saying with sheepish smile but again stopped by seeing her angry glare.
Swara came near Ragini and held her right hand elbow and turned her sweetly.

"Ragu, please don't be angry. I know it's my fault that I didn't tell you anything and I should have told you everything because you are my best friend but everything happened suddenly so I didn't get a time to inform you. Promise! I didn't do it intentionally" Swara said with sugar coated tone to melt her angry bird best friend.

"For one message you didn't have time?"Ragini said with angrily while jerking her hand and went to sit on sofa which was placed in opposite side of Swara's table.

"Ragu I am sorry, I should have told you. I know it's my fault, Please forgive me this time. I never do again like this"Swara ran behind her to pacify

"There is no again. At least you didn't inform me about your home also. Do you how I did felt embarrass when I went to you mansion?"Ragini said angrily while sitting on sofa.

"Raguuuu, at least listen to me"Swara tried to talk with her while sitting beside her who was not ready listen.

"It's too late"Ragini said while ignoring her talk.

"Raguuuu please!"Swara tried to talk with her but Ragini was ignoring her.

"Ok fine, you don't want to listen then I will call Avni and tell her"Swara said  with annoyed face and got from her face making Ragini shocked.

Swara was going to her table to take her mobile to call Avni but suddenly jerked with sudden pull by Ragini, then got shocked and surprised as well happiness as Ragini hugged her tightly and even Swara also hugged her back.

"I was jus teasing you. I know everything. Uncle and Aunty told me what happened on that day" Ragini said while breaking the hug.

"Sorry, I didn't wanted to tell you but wanted to tell you in person so didn't said anything in call"Swara said with sorry face.

"It's ok, I can understand"Ragini said with light smile.

"You are not angry with me right?" Swara asked her with puppy face.

"Not anymore. I was angry when I log to know from Uncle but later thought that you must have reason to hide so l"Ragini said with smile. Swara hugged her by feeling happy.

"I am so happy by seeing you here"Swara said.

"Where is Avni?"Swara asked her while breaking the hug.

"She will be coming next week as she has some pending work in her office"Ragini said while sitting ok sofa.

"I really miss her so much. I haven't talked with her for long time" Swara said while sitting beside Ragini.

" She is so busy that she is now out of reach for everyone. I will tell her later when I get contact with her"Ragini said while side hugging Swara.
Swara took intercom and ordered cold drinks for both

"Ok tell me, when is your engagement?" Swara asked her after putting intercom down and turned towards Ragini.

"Next week. Leave it about me. First tell me about you now"Ragini asked her with serious tone.

Swara got silent by listening her and bent her head down. Ragini noticed her face colour changed.

"If you want to share then you can. I don't force you because I know it's very hard for you tell me about that pain" Ragini said  while taking her both hands in her hand and pressed it to comfort her.

Swara lifted her head and took deep breath to relax herself and then smiled at Ragini.

"I don't know what we could tell it as destiny or my fortune. I am not sad and hurt because groom ran away from marriage, infact I am very happy  that he left me in marriage mantap otherwise I wouldn't have get Harsha. I thought that I never get him but now I am with him."Swara said with pleasant smile was playing on her lips. Ragini noticed happiness on her face when she mentioned that name.

"Harsha?" Ragini asked her curiously because Shekhar only told her that Swara hot married with another person but didn't tell her completely and told her to ask from Swara only.

"Yes, my Husband" Swara said with a smile. Swara told her everything what happened till now.

"So you love him and what about him?" Ragini asked her.

"I don't know but I will wait for him till he reciprocate my love" Swara said with deep breath.

"Does he know that you love him?" Ragini asked her.

"No, First I want to try to know his feelings about me then I will confess. But now I am very happy being with him, that's enough now" Swara said with a smile.

Both looked at door as suddenly Sanskar entered inside.

"Oh sorry" Sanskar said by seeing them and turned to go out.

"Harsha" Swara called him that Sanskar stopped and turned towards Swara.
Ragini got surprised by seeing him.
"He is simple man with no attitude, no arrogance, calm yet innocence on his face and most importantly she wondered how Swara have fallen in love with him as she is not that much attractive or handsome. So many rich and handsome boys were in quee to marry her but she got married with simple man." Ragini thought in her mind and came out of her thoughts.

Sanskar came near them with confused face. Swara and Ragini got up from her seat.

"Harsha, she is Ragini Chaturvedi and my best friend"Swara said introducing Ragini to Sanskar.

"Ragini, he is Harsha"Swara said while introducing Sanskar to her.

"Hi" Sanskar said with small smile.

"Hello" Ragini greeted him back.

"Swara, this is a blue print of Smart City project"Sanskar said while forwarding file to Swara.

"Ok leave that work now and we three are going home" Swara said announcing making Sanskar amused as well as surprised because she never left her work middle and went home without completing but today she is looking different. He looked at Swara with questionable eyes. Swara blinked her eyes that Sanskar understood her silent words and left to his cabin to inform manager.

"Swara"Ragini looked at Swara with surprised look on her face.

"I know what you want to ask. Don't judge book by cover" Swara said while laughing and went to take her bag to go home.

Trio reached the Gadodia Mansion and entered inside to welcomed by Shekhar and Shomi who were sitting in living hall while discussing something.

"Shona, Ragini"Shomi said as soon as she spotted them together.

"Harsha also has come with you" She said happily by seeing Sanskar behind them.

Shomi hugged Swara and caressed her back with happily by seeing her daughter. Sanskar bent and took blessings from her and then moved towards Shekhar. Sanskar took blessings from Shekhar also and sat beside him.

"How are you Harsha?" Shekhar asked him.

"I sm fine Dad"Sanskar replied with small smile.

"Dad, I miss you so much" Swara came and hugged Shekhar tightly.

"Miss you too"Shekhar said while patting her head with affection and love.

"How are you Shona?" Shekhar asked her.

"I am perfectly alright Dad" Swara said with bright smile.
"What will happen to me when you have such a protective and understanding son-in-law" Swara whispered slowly near his ear with a naughty smile and broke the hug.
Shekhar looked at her with a raised eyebrow with hidden smile.

"You are troubling my son right?" Shomi asked her while pointing towards Sanskar.

"Maa, I am not a trouble maker" Swara said whining like a small child and made a puppy face.

"Dad see Maa, she is telling like I am torturing her son" Swara said with annoyed tone while complaining about Shomi.

"Yes, I know about you that's why I asked you"Shomi said while justifying her words.

"Maa, nothing like that"Sanskar said while turning towards Shomi.

"Uncle, did you forget me when you see your daughter?" Ragini who was silent spectator till now spoke up.

"How can I forget you Ragini beta? You are my second daughter" Shekhar said while extending his one hand for Ragini. Ragini ran towards him and hugged him affectionately. Later
all settled down on sofa.

"Uncle, Aunty, next week my engagement with Laksha. You both must come otherwise you know right what will happen you if you don't come"Ragini said in threatening tone.

"If we don't come then do you think Arnav will leave me alive? He called me yesterday only and told about your engagement"Shekhar said while laughing.

" We all will come definitely" Shekhar said. All chatted for sometime while having lunch and Ragini bid bye to all and went to home.

"Dad, we will also leave" Swara said getting up from sofa along with Sanskar.

"Harsha beta, wait a minute" Shekhar said and turned towards Shomi. He signed something Shomi and She understood him and went to their room.

"What happened Dad?" Swara asked him with confused face.

Shomi came with a file and handed over to Shekhar.

"Harsha this is for you. I know it's not worth what you have done to my family but I know it's worth to give the the right person" Shekhar said making Sanskar and Swara confused.

Sanskar opened the file and got shocked by seeing the Haveli documents.

"Uncle, this is Haveli document?"Sanskar asked him confusingly.

"Yes, I wanted to give you this from long time but now giving" Shekhar said with smile.

"Dad, it's worth crore rupees and it's Swara's right because she gained it with her hard work. I am not a deservable person to take this" Sanskar said while denying to take that.

"You deserve it Harsha because my daughter never chose wrong thing in her life and you became our family when Swara brought you to us as a friend and now you are our son so you also deserve as much as Swara. Don't deny it. We will be happy if you accept it" Shekhar said in his requesting tone.

Sanskar looked at Swara with dilemma who was looking at them.

"Don't look at her because I am giving you after talking with her" Shekhar said while laughing.

"I will accept it but it will always Swara's only" Sanskar said while turning towards Shekhar.

"What are you telling Harsha. What is mine that is yours also. Where did it come from yours and ours, it's only us" Swara said with annoyance by listening him.

"Yes, it's true" Shekhar said with smile. After spending some time with Shekhar and Shomi both went to their home.

Sanskar was standing by window side and holding Haveli file in his hand.
He was gazing at far away paint while in deep thoughts.
His body stiffened suddenly by feeling hands on his shoulder and he turned back quickly to find Swara who was looking at him with concerned eyes.

"Harsha what happened?" Swara asked him with concern by seeing his reaction.

"Nothing just, I was in deep thoughts and you touched me suddenly" Sanskar said with smile after calming himself little.

"What are you doing here by standing alone? It's very late night"Swara said by seeing the time as it was showing half last 11 pm. She was waiting for Sanskar in room but when he didn't came so she came in search of him.

"Nothing just thinking about Shekhar Dad"Sanskar said while taking deep breathe.

"What about Dad?"Swara asked him with confusion as well as curious.

"Yes, You once told me that he is very fond about buying old property but I didn't understand why did he give Haveli to me when he likes it so much?" Sanskar let out his doubt infront of Swara. He was thinking since afternoon. Swara smiled by listening him making Sanskar confuse.

"Don't think too much. He likes that Haveli not more than his loved ones. He wanted to give you as present so gave it, there is nothing else in it" Swara said casually and went to close the curtain of windows.

"But it's cost so many crore rupees Swara"Sanskar said again looking at the file.

"Not more than you Harsha" Swara said and came near him. She held his both hands in her hands and both looked at each other.

"Dad can do anything for his loved ones and you became important person in his life. It is nothing infront you Harsha. Dad trust you so much and don't think about money which cost for this Haveli but think that how much he loves you and considered as family that he gave you Haveli without second thought" Swara said while trying to convince him.

"Ok fine, you don't want to keep this but at least for me you have to accept it. Will you?"Swara said making puppy face.

"Ok" Sanskar said by seeing her cute puppy face as he couldn't resist to say no.

"That's my good boy. Now it's very late night, come and sleep. Tomorrow we have to meet CEO of KG Company"Swara said and went out followed by Sanskar.

It was midnight around 2 am. Swara woke up with disturbance like someone was murmuring. She switched on the bed lamp and saw beside that Sanskar was murmuring and crying in his sleep like he was having nightmare. Swara got shocked by seeing him as he was holding bedsheet tightly and wiggling in sleep. She quickly moved towards him and tried to wake him up.

"Harsha"Swara called him but nothing worked.

"Harsha wake up...Harsha"Swara again called him to wake up.

"Harsha... Harsha wake up ..Harsha"Swara shook him roughly that he woke up and sat on bed with jerk . Swara moved little back by seeing him. He was sweating badly and tears were flowing from his eyes.
Sanskar looked at Swara who was scared to death by seeing his state. He quickly wiped his tears not to scare her. Swara got down from the bed and moved towards him to give him water. She poured water in glass quickly and face it him. Sanskar drank water without saying anything. Swara put glass back on table and looked at Sanskar with worried and concerned.

"Are you ok?" Swara asked him.
Sanskar looked at her who was looking at him with concerned eyes.

"I am fine. Sorry, I disturbed you"Sanskar said apologitically.

"No, what happened? You are crying"Swara asked him while sitting infront of him.

"No, it's just nightmare nothing else. You sleep"Sanskar quickly answer to avoid her further question.

"Are you sure that you are ok?"Swara asked him again to confirm herself.

"Yes, I am perfectly alright" Sanskar said with a little smile. Swara nodded her head and came to her bed side and lied on bed. Sanskar was lying while facing ceiling. Swara looked at him who was staring ceiling only. She switched off the lamp.

"Harsha, is there anything bothering you?" Swara asked him and turned towards him.
Sanskar turned towards her and looked at her face which was visible due to moonlight.

"I used to have nightmare since my parents left me. I didn't have nightmare recently but yesterday I was missing them so much so" Sanskar said and again kept staring at ceiling.

Swara turned towards him fully and looked at his hand which was on his stomach. She kept her hand on his right hand which was on his stomach to comfort him. Sanskar looked at her and then at their hand. Swara was going to remove by seeing him but Sanskar held it by another hand making Swara smile.

"They are with you and always in your heart Harsha and they are seeing you from above and proud of you because having son like you who is strong and brave. Who is capable of doing anything without relying on anyone" Swara said comforting him with soothing words.

"They are happy by seeing you"Swara said while looking at him who is already looking at her. Both kept looking at each other and Sanskar closed his eyes due to tiredness but holding Swara's hand tightly that she could go away if he left her hand. Swara sat with the support of bed board and moved little towards him. She caressed his hairs which was falling on his forehead. Sanskar felt relaxed feeling feather touch on his head and drift into deep slumber.

"I don't know what is bothering you and why are you not sharing with me? I know you are suffering from inside without sharing with snyone. It can easily visible in your eyes. It hurts me to see you in pain Harsha. I know you don't want to share or you don't trust me or not considered me as your life partner but I will gain your trust and try to share you pain. I will definitely try to heal your pain Harsha"Swara thought in her mind and looked at his sleeping face. She softly kissed his forehead and lied beside him, still her hand was in Sanskar's hand.

Next day Sanskar and Swara reached the KG Company and got down from the car. Swara looked at the multi store building which was standing with its glory. She looked around to see and it made her amused by its beauty around the office.

"Impressive" Swara said by seeing the outside beauty of the building.
It was 30 storey building with modern architecture and surrounded by greenery. One side car parking, another side cafeteria. It was such echo friendly environment, everyone can feel freshness in such a like environment.

"Swara, shall we go?" Sanskar asked her by seeing standing while taking glance around.

"Yes" Swara said and both moved inside. Sanskar moved towards receptionist.

"Excuse me" Sanskar said as soon as he reached receptionist.

"Yes sir, how can I help you?" Receptionist asked him.

"We have appointment with Mr. Singhania. We are from SG Company CEO Ms. Swara" Sanskar said and receptionist checked in her system.

"Yes sir, please you can sit in waiting room and I will inform you after confirming" Receptionist said politely with smile.
Sanskar nodded his head and moved towards Swara who was looking at the interior of the building with amused look.

"Swara"Sanskar called her and Swara turned towards him.

"We will wait in waiting room" Sanskar informed her.

"Harsha, it's such marvelous building. It has such beautiful architecture. I never imagined that MD has such good taste that he built everything here. It's really heart captivating. It's looking like a home more than company" Swara said while roaming her eyes around. She was spell bounded by seeing the beauty of the building.

"Yes, indeed it's really beautiful" Sanskar said with a small smile while looking around.

"There is nothing doubt in it, that's why KG Company got every project without fail" Swara said and moved towards couch to sit. After sometime they were told to go to CEO chamber.

Swara and Sanskar reached 20 th floor and came out from the elevator. They asked floor receptionist about CEO chamber and moved towards there.

Swara stopped infront of CEO cabin and looked at the name plate Mr. Neil Singhania, CEO which was written on the name plate. Sanskar knocked the door and Swara entered after getting permission. Swara entered followed by Sanskar.

Neil looked up from his file and saw Swara who entered inside followed by Sanskar. He got up from his seat by seeing her.

"Hello Ms. SG nice to meet you" Neil said with professional smile while forwarding his hand for handshake.

"Nice to meet you too Mr. singhania" Swara shook hand with him while giving profession smile.

"He is my PA Harsha" Swara said introducing Sanskar to Neil.

"Hello Mr. Harsha"Neil said giving professional smile.

"Hello Sir" Sanskar greeted him back.

"Please come" Neil moved towards couch to sit and Swara and Sanskar followed him. All settled down on couch comfortably.

Neil took intercom and ordered something to drink for them. Swara was impressed by his polite nature and manner.
Swara was going to say something but stopped by listening door opening sound and looked up to see the person which made her stunned at her place.

"Avni" She gasped in shock as well as surprise by seeing the opposite person at unexpected place.
