While swara was gathering things sanskar had turned on to one side and curled up into a ball due to immense pain. Swara packed the bag and mounted it on her back. She saw him whimpering in pain and walked towards him settling on the ground. She gently turned him over with his back resting on ground while head on her lap. He hissed in pain on gentle turn also.

She caressed his wound area which was wet with continuous bleeding. His complete shirt turned dark crimson mixed with blood and mud. His already wounded body was now more of a mess. She knew his survival is very difficult but she believed miracles do happen.

She gently dabbed his face gently with wet medicated wipes giving him much needed coolness. She gently kissed his forehead while her tears trickled on his face. She carefully kept her head on his giving him a hug.

She was dying inside every second fear engulfed her heart knowing sanskar doesn't have much time but she would fight till his last breath till life permits her to keep him alive. Just as he did for her time and again. He is broken she needs to mend him but before that assure him he would be fine. She is there his neuron is there with him just as she was always.

She witdrew her head and was about to get up. His held a grip on her hand and his words stopped her.

Sanskar: Stay... ahhhhhhh... I can't get up ...please.

she didn't move and sat their keeping his head on her lap caressing his hair. Placing a kiss on his forehead.

Sanskar: I always felt this soothing in your lap...he took a big bout of air giving his body the much needed oxygen. She held on his hand tightly unknown when he would just stop breathing. She was checking his pulse which hardly made any movement under her finger.

Swara: I know this is very tough rather impossible but it was even impossible to get me out of my village. It was impossible to get me back when parth and rocky kidnapped me. I had left hope i would ever come back to you. Even more impossible when we lost our kid. 2 years Jaan we were separated did we ever thought to come back together. It was impossible to tolerate the torture they gave you. Still, you fought just for us today i beg infront of you sometime more sanskar hold your breath. His breath was getting heavier it's been long and oxygen in his body had depleted with the loss of blood.

Swara withdrew and gently made him wear oxygen pipe and attached it to a portable o2 cylinder just to streamline his breathing.

I know you are in pain and unable to even sit forget about standing but any activity to escape from here is going to be very painful but as you said you don't want another swara. I say i want another swara the swara whom sanskar has made strong headed woman who is ready to fight, an able  officer who is awarded and sort out in her field, a bussiness woman who has turn the tables in front of experts just because of your guidance.

I want you to create a strong sweekruti,  guide her as you did for me, khushi, shamoli.... Sanskar sweekruti would never get a mentor like you.

Sanskar:(softly holding her hand): You will be the best mentor for her swara. Please excuse me i can't do it anymore i...ii...

Swara: (calmly) breath jaan breath... I want you for me. Murali, laksh, kadu everyone is waiting for your return eagerly. Our baby sanskar she has not spent enough time with you. She is scared of all the pain you went through. Don't leave her innocent heart with these painful memories. You need to live with her make tons of beautiful memories. I have promised to get her father back. I don't know what is there in destiny but i want to fight till the last and i can do that only when you are with me. Sanskar Maheshwari i want you to be with me forever. I would forget living Sanskar if something happened to you.

Sanskar was in pain unable to understand half the thing but one thing for sure he won't let swara break. He wanted to say no more he can't do it. He wanted to just close his eyes and go into slumber forever because he doesn't have a single ounce of strength in him his body is giving up. That is not an option because if he doesn't encourage swara she would break and that means none of them would reach back.

Swara: I promise to fight as much as I can but at any point you feel lost just remember your mishti. She doesn't deserve a fatherless life i don't wish to live like a widow. Promise me you would fight.

He kept his trembling hand covered in blood on hers. While she held it tightly giving an unspoken promise. Tears were flowing from both their eyes.

Sanskar ( lot of difficulty): This is just the beginning....

They heard loud screams from outside.

Goons: Set the place on fire.

Swara looked around in the meanwhile sanskar spoke with difficulty.

Sanskar: Check if the drums are empty. If they are you can easily roll out through the door in it. I will give you the starting push.

Swara got a wide smile but instantly frown formed on her brows knowing  the place was on fire especially the main door. She could feel the heat and burning sensation due to the fire around and it was spreading at fast pace.

Annapurna escaped even before her goons put the place on fire. She knew her plan was perfect and needed no full proofing. She left in a car with her security. While other goons started with their work. Once they set the place on fire they also left.

---------------------+++--------------+++++----------
On the road:

Murali, Laksh, shamoli reached the area before the cliff. Out of nowhere a woman came infront of Abeer's car. They all stopped with screeching halt.
They found lady on road bleeding her clothes were tattered on turning over her face was revealed to be Annapurna Maheshwari.

She gave a look at her men and smirked looking at baffled face of laksh, murali, kadu, abeer, Rakshit. As it was dark they could hardly see her on giving flashlight they observed she had fainted. On splashing water on her face she slightly gained conciousness.

Annapurna (putting up a drama): Please save my sanskar he and swara are in the jungle that place like a godown.

They made me run and i reached her. She was acting drowsy

Laksh(Patting her face): Maa Maa

Annapurna: Laksh save your brother she was crying pouring out fake tears. Swara is outside that factory she couldn't reach sanskar. She may try she told me to run and i reached here.

They heard a loud blast from the forest. The flames of fire rose high up in the sky but later they can't observe anything as it was completely dark. Space filled in with smoke all around.

Annapurna (began howling crying loudly): My sanskar they killed him...swara she is only responsible she is such a curse my son... No no nothing happened to my son please get him out.... Saying this she fainted.

Murali: Abeer get badi maa in car rush to the hospital.. laksh you follow them...

Abeer: You would need the car. Due to curfew ambulance is stuck.

Rakshit: Sanskar is injured how would you get him to hospital it is too far from this place.

Laksh: Maa, is not responding. She is also bleeding let's go fast please.

Murali: Don't worry you move i will manage something here.

He said assuring them. All the boys put her in car.... They left the place while murali tried to get police help at this end..

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

Swara got the drum near sanskar. He knew what she was upto and refraining wasn't an option owing to the fact that her life was also in danger. she supported him to just roll and made him slide into it she knew it would be uber painful but also knew she can't hold him out. He can't walk out so fast  this was the safest and fastest. She set the timer in her watch.

He was not in a situation to fight as he was drained and felt as if nearing death but he will keep himself going till he doesn't feel swara is safe.

She rolled the drum pushing it with full force she had reached the door which was on fire. She had to be careful very careful if drum caught fire sanskar had oxygen cylinder the drum got heated the cylinder would blast and sanskar would be burnt alive inside.

Swara(knocking on drum): Sanskar.... sanskar loudly sanskar...

Sanskar (softly hummed): Hmmm

Swara: I am giving a final push just get out at any cost as the drum stops rolling. Please don't fall into fire while coming out be cautious.

Sanskar: (chuckled): She was talking like a mother to her baby. This word mother got a pain in his heart. He just allowed his eye lids to join in while the tears rolled out.

Swara gave final push to the drum with full force that it just rolled and straight away dropped outside. Swara took a long breath seeing drum out of fire vicinity but danger was still lurking around because even after reaching out sanskar had not come out.

She herself got stuck between the fire. Time was running away only 4 minutes more. Her eyes widened when she found a big burning wooden door fell on the drum. It  broke and scattered around it touching fire flames. There was fire around the drum.

Scare that was what made her think quickly. She took out her belt and making it as a hook on the rope which lead outside she slid out. It was weak but she somehow managed to come out while the rope broke as fire burnt its strands. She took a deep breath and gently kicking the burning logs from side, rolled the drum far from the place and there was a blast whose sound echoed in the complete surrounding it could be heard till far.

After reaching ahead she saw a small hut with river flowing by it's side. Right now it was dangerous for them to enter any such place as it can be trap. It was night and dark all around she needed a place so she can make sanskar comfortable. Also which is connected to road may be not proper but still vehicle can reach it. She frowned as there was no action since past 5 minutes from sanskar.

She walked ahead and peeped into the dingy cottage and found it empty. She reiked the place for possible danger and found it safe. May be Annapurna had paid the person living their. It must be the caretaker who stayed here. No time to think she rolled the drum and then opened its lid. But her heart stopped beating as sanskar was not doing any moment even after she opened the lid.

She pulled him making him straight, taking his head on her lap she gently patted his face but no response. Her heart stopped beating thinking of worst. He was breathing. There was no time to panic. She got him out he was drenched in blood. He softly groaned in pain as she pulled him out. His open fresh wounds scratched against the drums corner causing him immense pain he screamed  but there was hardly any energy left in him. As she made him lie on rickety bed he struggled adjusting his body.

She tried to wake him up by gently patting his cheeks but all in vain. Checking the time she gasped in shock because he had been bleeding from a longtime. Swara immediately got some water and warmed it on a stove  she gently cut opened the bedsheet she had tied back in ss mansion to control his bleeding. It was soggy dripping with red metallic liquid. she also cut his shirt which was already torn with the impact of bullet. She was shocked to check the bullet wound. Sanskar whimpered with pain holding swara's hand.

Swara(scared): Its not shoulder sanskar bullet have hit exactly 1/2 inch above the heart. It's crucial my mistake would take your life.

He was in semi concious state trying hard to be awake.
Sanskar: You need...ahaah... To take that 1% chance... aaahhhh I can't take this pain anymore....

She opened the heel of her sandal and took out a transmitter and 2-3 vial of medicine.

Swara: Alpha 2 connect....

Murali: Alpha 2 here, swara, how's sanskar? Did you stopped Sanskar's bleeding?

Swara: As thought they broke the vial.

Murali: hmmm...who is it swara? How those people know what medicine is priority for sanskar.

Swara: The person is a doctor very well renowned and sorted in the field. Disgrace to the profession she has also stained motherhood.

Murali: Badi mom, I won't spare her.

Swara: Don't disclose anything to anyone it may cost sanskar his dignity. She is very smart played her cards well and I am sure she has some cards up her sleeves too.  Luckily i had hid extra vial under my heels.

Murali: i am trying to track you but seems like there are jammers. Would you be able to reach near highway by any means.

Swara: No time for question answer we need help immediately Sanskar's condition is detoriated. We can't move he is having very less time.

Murali checking location through another phone. He was pacing like a lion in cage on that dark road

Murali: I am unable to locate you still i am entering with search team.

Swara: Is ambulance their?

Murali: No, we have asked one for emergency but

Swara: But what?

Murali: There has been some strike in city and it got stuck up would take time to reach.

Swara: Damn it this can't be.... There should be some way out check with commissioner sir... There is no time Murali I am loosing him..

Murali: Swara, please some time more I would any how find you both also reach with help.

Swara: Murali (her voice was heavy and choking)

Murali: Just remember usne kabhi haar nahin maani jab baat tumhari thi (he never accepted defeat when it was about you)

Swara: Please do something immediately we can't loose him ....I am with sanskar. I..I... (Concerned voice) Sanskar sanskar...

She cut the call as she saw sanskar gasping inspite of having oxygen.

Sanskar (smiling in unconsciousness): swara, aaahhhh you would have to do it. Aahhah ahhhh I won't be able to hold on more I am dropping swara. Eeeehhh it's killing me swara fast...aaahhhh

His screams pierced her heart and ripped it out from her body. She needed to be strong not for herself but for him.

Swara: Your expert guidance is very important. Please guide me whenever you feel loosing. Stay with me just stay with me....

Sanskar: Just remember one thing you are very strong and you can save me.

Swara: I am strong when you are with me.

Sanskar: Make a gash little towards the distal end I can feel ....ahhhha

Swara: You calm down i would do it.

Sanskar (trying to lighten the situation): I am ready to go under your knife are you ready to rip off my skin.

Swara went cold she was the best surgeon this case was like a cake walk but neither they were in hospital nor this was a easy task at this time. She knew he is saying the truth. She checked his pulse which was dropping. His skin had turned pale as he had lost lot of blood.

She put pulse oxymeter in his right index finger. She checked his BP and shivered as it had hit the lowest level. She immediately took out a vial and pushed it's content in a syringe immediately injected it in his vein. She filled in few injection dipped scalpel in warm water. Got out her suturing equipments she removed her jacket and dropped it nearby. She was sweating badly.

She had to do it she wore a surgical apron took out clean pair of gloves and covered her face with mask.

Swara: Sanskar.. this would be painful I can't give you anaesthesia as I don't have monitors if you drop. I know this is risk but important to borrow some more time. Please stay with me. Second time in her career her hands were shaking. First was when she did individual surgery in his absence. That person was so badly injured by Rati she couldn't save him. He was Rati's sex slave and sanskar he was also in same situation may be even worst. She closed her eyes and remembered all her moments where he stood like rock behind her.

She injected an injection and then plunged the scalpel making sanskar scream out of pain. He clenched his fist on sides just to bear the pain and not to hold swara's hand. Blood was oozing out of the gash she made. Aaahhhhahhhhahha..

Finally she was successful in extracting the bullet with a pair of surgical scissors. She sutured the wound it was very difficult as his body was completely wounded.  Finally neatly wrapping it with a long bandage. She also cleaned his other wounds and gently applied medicine and wrapped wherever possible. She removed her blood stained gloves she was looking at sanskar who was all drained and closing his eyes. She with difficult made him sit while he dropped on her shoulder. She remembered when he reached her few months back from now. She just slipped a linen shirt on his body owing the temperature was cold outside. His body needed to be covered to save him from infections.

Sanskar: (softly): Swara something is wrong i can sense choking. There is gushing of blood in heart. I am not feeling right it's....

She carefully made him lie on bed again while he groaned in pain.

Swara: How is that even possible? It can be because you have exerted to much. You must be tired try to relax.

Sanskar: May be we are little late it's because of too much of blood loss. Heart is pumping hard.

Swara: I hate you being a doctor today i hate you more because your senior and experienced. You are not going to ditch me..

Sanskar (smiled): Swara, distraction won't work be ready for a CPR also keep injection ready for plunging into my heart soon.

Swara's breath stuck in her throat but she knew sanskar was way more experienced he was best in his field and no one can challenge his call.
She again wore a clean gloves and kept on trying to wake him up. As she found him dropping she immediately started giving CPR.

Murali arrived just then with the medical staff and a well equipped ambulance. He rushed towards side of Sanskar and held his hand.

Murali: Swara, his hands have turned cold.

Swara frowned she was giving him CPR. While the doctor who entered with the ambulance gave her the break. They both were now giving CPR turn by turn.

Sanskar just gave a look at Murali and whispered.

Sanskar: I was waiting to see you. Keep her safe..

His eyes closed and his hands slipped from Murali's hands. Swara' tears kept on falling on his face making it wet. She was still giving him strong CPR.

Murali: Sanskar open your eyes...no no

She remembered what sanskar suggested her she took the injection and plunged into his heart with full force. The team of medical staff who arrived got aware, they rushed in and got a defibrillator.

Swara was doing fibrillation her heart was in her mouth. She was tired but not ready to give up.

Sanskar's body rose and fell on the rickety bed due to the shock. It was last and high frequency current she was going to give. She swiped both the defibrillator applied with gel. Give me high she kept on his chest sanskar's body rose and fell.

He suddenly took a deep breath making slight movement puking out the metallic fluid from his mouth.

The staff arrived with the ambulance got strecher while the doctor instructed them.

Doctor: Move move take him in ambulance he is breathing. Swara sat with a thud she was drenched in her sweat while her face was wet with her tears. She removed the apron, gloves, mask and childishly wiped her tears.

Murali came and kept his hand on her shoulder. She turned and hugged him feeling a sense of relief she had almost lost him few minutes back.

Murali: Swara we won chalo let's go he needs you. You go in the ambulance i will follow on the bike because as we touch the city road we would need clear path without any signals..

Swara (softly): It's just the beginning

Doctor: Madam we need to hurry his condition is still critical he is hardly breathing.

Swara rushed picking her jacket. She went and sat in ambulance with the doctor who had connected sanskar with machines and a butterfly needle that was supplying blood into his body.

Doctor: He has lost a lot of blood.

Swara: He is heamophilic.

Doctor: Something is wrong his pressure is not going up. He seems to be in deep sleep. As far as i know you didn't give him sedatives.

The doctor checked the monitors and also checked opening his eyes. We should try to wake him and keep him awake till we get full support.

Swara: Get up Sanskar get up you idiot...
Doctor chuckled typical wife...

Did i cut some artery... Sanskar wake up please...

Finally he groaned in pain still he was cold. She took his palms in her grip and was rubbing it.

Doctor was going to inject some medicines.

Swara: He is allergic

Doctor: I know, sir informed me don't worry.

Swara(on bluetooth with murali...

Murali: It would take time to reach Maheshwari hospital can we take him to city hospital.

Swara: No, we are going to Maheshwari hospital.

Murali: Swara, don't be mad if you are just thinking about the news leak and spoiling sanskars image then forget about it right now. We would handle it later we are near to city hospital.

Swara: No, we would take him to Maheshwari hospital only.

Looking at the doctor

Doctor: It may be too late..

Swara just disconnected the call while she made few calls. Still she was rubbing his palms. While his breath was slow paced.

Swara(softly): Stay with me

No reponse.

Doctor: Madam, take a look he said indicating at the monitor which was showing his pulse and other vitals dropping.

She gently held his palm placing a kiss while tears drowned her cheeks.

Doctor: Your decision of coming so far  was not right may be, he said being frustrated seeing the adamant lady infront of him. He may succumb to silent death.

Swara: (angry tone) Stop your non sense right away or i will pull your tongue, cut it and feed it to the dogs.

Finally, the ambulance reached breaking the silence of hospital. While sanskar was wheeled inside swara walked with him holding his hand. She stopped at the entrance of OT as he was wheeled inside.

One of the old nurses came their looking at swara she was worried.

Nurse: You are bleeding madam come in the OPD shall do your dressing.

Swara: You go i will be there in sometime.

Swara just sat outside OT exhausted she just pulled her hairs back. Murali and shamoli rushed to her side. While shamoli sat beside her soothing by rubbing her arms.

Murali: Swara, how is sanskar?

He came and sat near her lap.

Swara: Seems okay but once Dr Dasgupta checks we would get the complete report.

Murali: Dr. Dasgupta but he is in kolkata..

Swara: He was in Kolkata now in mumbai.

Murali (smiling): You were so sure that you would bring him safe.

He said ruffling her hair with utmost brotherly love

Swara: I never had a doubt because i trust him. He would loose his battle but not mine. As he said it's just the beginning. I was surely scared my decision of bringing him here was dangerous but can't send him to city hospital. That's what Annapurna Maheshwari wants.

Shamoli: Aunty is taken their. Why would she want bhai to be taken their?

Murali: City hospital belongs to badi maa's best friend.

Swara: I am sure she had well planned the complete thing. She would still play making herself innocent and i would not be able to put her behind bars.

Murali just side hugged her making her calm.

Murali: Don't worry we will sort this out.

Swara: What about Rati, Radhika, adarsh, pari, Ragini and haya?

Murali: They all would be taken to court tomorrow for firsy hearing.

She just nodded her head.

Saahil and priya arrived their with bottle of water while his assistant carried few cup of coffee.

Saahil: Swara, hope you both are okay he said touching and checking her wound and glancing at Murali.

They both just nodded.

Saahil's team of reporter's were working online for morning edition. Swara was ready for a blast but her heart was beating in full speed. She kept on praying for sanskar.

Swara: (to saahil): Do cross check all the details before it goes online. Make sure all the news channel presents the news as we want. Annapurna Maheshwari will surely wish to play evil but make sure she has no way out.

DR came their and before he asks anything or walks near the OT swara got up and walked towards him.

DR: Swara woh main?

Swara: How did those proof reach SS mansion?

DR: Swara, sanskar was successful in eloping from that chamber with help of Sushant.

Swara: How Sushant is linked with this case?

DR: Sushant was appointed to assist sanskar in operation against the human organ and girls trafficking that was carried out by the Malhans and Mehra's. The racket that you had busted in London was a small part. In which they got clean chit by illegally pouring everything on others head. They are filthy rich so we needed someone who can work being with them. We tried putting our people in their teams but it wasn't working as they had different set of trustworthy for these works. Many influential people were attached in this like parth, Mr Mehra, Radhika malhan, harsh malhan, Rati it's a multi million dollar business swara.

After you spoilt their business working as a doctor with them. Radhika was hell bent on ruining your life and we had got the information that she wanted to kidnap and torture you. When we told this to sanskar he was worried. I suggested to try get into their web instead of you then rest is history.

Swara: Don't you know the legal norms that you can't send an untrained citizen as an undercover agent.

DR: Swara, sanskar was trained even before you just he was never used because we knew their style of working and didn't intend to risk lives. When they kidnapped him and he was able to run away i met him in SS mansion. That's when he hided that proof in locker i gave him information that your baby is  with this people and if he gets till Kavita which i was sure he will then i would get proof against them and he would get his baby. Also, he could save you and his family.

Swara: I was incharge of sanskars case how can you keep me in dark about this.

DR: Swara, i did what was in favour of my duty.

Swara: Killing my husband knowing the potential risk. Allowing him to get tortured to the level of insanity by those inhuman creatures.

DR: Swara, people lay their life for mother country. He is one of such silent warriors.

Swara: Warrior whom you placed on a mission and fled the country on another mission when you knew things turned ugly. You knew they were torturing him in hell. You knew his condition but you kept mum and left for other assignments thinking Sanskars chapter would be over till you come back and the you can marry me...

Clapping wow what a game Mr DR....

Swara: She made him hear his confession which Sushant had recorded in Italy when he informed that they should take sanskar out of that torture hell. Those people were ripping his skin inhumanly and soon going to sell his organ in the market. He just denied saying they can't indulge as it would lead to scandal and spoil agencies name. They would wait till sanskar is able to flea then everything can be presented smoothly without leaking any information of Operations. He also transferred Sushant to another case so he can't help or get sanskar out.

DR: Listen to me swara...

Swara: You listen to me i loved sanskar i love him and would keep loving him for the rest of my life. You better get out of this place and yes resign before i socialise all your scandals....

He left while swara got a call...

Hello, how are you my dear..

Swara: What do you want Mrs Annapurna Maheshwari?

AP(laughing): Want to come straight to the point so be it. Planning to put up all the proofs in tommorrow mornings edition. In that case go ahead because for the world i have lost my memory so I can't be detained. I am poor mother who has her son struggling for life and death.

Swara(calmly) : This is your fear talking knowing that tommorrow morning would be end of your game. I knew you wanted sanskar at City hospital after all it belongs to your brother Mr Mehra. Oh thinking how i know when i took out the list of your illegal money investment the name that topped was City hospital on enquiring further i got to know it belongs to your brother Mr Mehra. Koi nahin you would know everything tommorrow morning.

Ap: You sound good but there is difference in dream and reality. Whatever you said is just a dream which would never see the light of day. If my name flashes anywhere Maheshwari industry shares will fall in market. My lawyer would say no to all your claims and prove me innocent. An old mother who turned into an amnesia patient saving her son. No one would trust you dear.

Now think about your husbands reputation when it will be crushed in public. When his nude sex videos will be displayed all over social media. When the lawyer will allegate him for having sexual intercourse with multiple women. Your lawyer would say he was raped. Raped, my lawyer would ask how and where did the ladies touch him. Was he excited about it... Did they touch his man..

Swara: stop it...

Ap: You can't even hear it, imagine he being morally harassed infront of public. Media will do his character assassination each wound on his body would be scraped and checked for rape charges. As it is we have left him in corpse i think you want him to die of shame, commit suicide or.... Ohh then he would have no other way out other then death. You would never be able to prove my involvement in anything. I don't remember anything. One more thing trying to record you can't....Saying this she disconnected the call making swara angry. She saw it was from some internet number and she couldn't record anything.
