Swara and Sanskar were standing in front of Swara's small  house. He looked here and there and saw that the area where she lives was little cheap,but does Sanskar? Nope!. He don't care where Swara lives or what's her status. He doesn't care about all.

"Let's go to the living room" Swara said walking towards the living room while Sanskar  followed her.

They both sat down on a shabby sofa, beside  each other." So what would you like to have water or water?" Swara asked, smiled sheepishly.

"Uh-I think second option is better. water."Sanskar state with a giggle, making Swara smile.

Swara stood up as she   made her way towards the kitchen, open the refrigerator, pouring water in two glasses  and then  went back to Sanskar, who was observing Swara's  small house.

" Actually Sanskar I don't have  any ingredients right now that's why I didn't offered you any coffee or tea. I am sorry" Swara said in a low tone, smiled sadly.

Sanskar shook his head," it's ok Swara, water is enough for me"  Sanskar  said  as he picked up the glass   and drank the water.

"woah! thank you for offering me water I was freaking  thirsty"  he said  with a smile, not wanting to feel Swara low or something.

Swara smiled and place the tray on the table.

  Swara   sat beside Sanskar  and took a deep breath before starting

" we used to be a Happy Family, me mom and dad.  I was kid   to know the unhappiness between my parents. So, one day my so called  mother left me. She  left a note for us which  said   she had chosen  a better partner for  her. She wanted a new start for her life."  Swara dryly chuckled.

Sanskar  wrapped  his arms  around her waist, just to remind her, that  he is there for her.

" isn't it funny that she  left her daughter who was having a health problem, who was admitted into the hospital? I was only 7 then."   her  tone was quite, slow which expresses  her pain  inside her chest.

" After her leaving us, I was constantly crying for a mother. I  was giving my dad a hard time. So, he decided  to remarry."

" My relatives  told me that stepmoms are horrible.So, I was scared of my stepmother. My  fear led me  to behave very rudely with her. I didn't  like her. But  as time passed, I realised she was always there for me. She  was awake  all  night, taking care of me when I was sick, it's something that  my real mother didn't do. She used to present on  my every annual functions where I used to participate. I  acted like I hate her presence but inside I was so happy that she  made time for me." by now Swara had  tears in her eyes. It started to pour.

She  brushed away her tears  before it  could  drop anymore. She tried to control herself.

Sanskar drew  circles on Swara's  back, hoping it would help her to calm down which did.

"So  I finally started to love her more  than my real mother. She was everything to me. She  taught me so many things. I studied hard just to get good grades for her. She  always said  not  to  overwork myself. She  was  such a sweetheart. But I didn't knew the pain behind her smiling face.  I didn't knew  she had a horrible past. I didn't knew that her ex-husband used to abuse her physically and mentally, I didn't knew my lovely  mother was insecure  about herself as it's how that monster  made her think. If I knew about it, I would have hugged her tight   and never let  her go." Swara said while wiping away her tears.

Sanskar couldn't handle his own tears from coming out  of his eyes.His  grip around Swara's waist tightened. Swara's  broken voice  wasn't something he wants to hear.

"Finally,  mom was somehow happy with us.But dad  started  to quarrel with her about small matters which triggered her past and one day dad hit last strike. He spend night with the same woman who left us alone. He  cheated on my precious mother which that b**ch."Now, Swara started to shed angry tears.

She can never forgive her dad for that.

Now, Sanskar started hating her father too.

"When  mom found out about this, she lost trust in everything. S-She couldn't take it anymore and S-She...S-She is now...." Sanskar hugged  Swara  tightly.

  Swara didn't  have to complete the sentence, Sanskar understood it.

" Dad f-finally realised his mistake. H-He   j-jumped off the hill and killed himself, my relatives accused me for for my parents death and abandoned me.... m-maybe they were right I'm a c-curse..." Swara broke down into Sanskar's arms.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!!" Swara kept chanting as tears uncontrollably flow down her cheeks.

"No, it's not you fault." Sanskar hate her father more now, how can he leave her daughter to suffer the punishment for the sin,he did.

" I-I hate my father, He left me too...."few more tears rolled down her eyes.

Sanskaar broke the hug and cupped Swara's  face, made her look at him
" don't be sad Swara, you have me right, we'll always be together."

" N-No don't be with me S-Sanskar maybe  I'll hurt you too. I-I hate myself, it's all because of me...Y-You should hate me too." Swara was sobbing hard while trying to push him away.

"I can't Swara..I-I can't hate you." Sanskar's voice broke in middle of the sentence.

He was frustrated.How would   he make the girl believe that she is the most precious thing in his world.

"Y-you should hate me..everyone hates me" Swara repeated.

"No, shut up,Swara! I don't care about everyone. I love you!. Do you know you make me happy. Do you know how my heart aches when I didn't see you for even a single minute? Swara, do you know how beautiful you are?. Nothing in this world can compare  with your beauty inside and outside. You have a beautiful and kind heart." Swara  was relieved   and surprised  by the words that  left Sanskar's mouth.

"Y-You"

"I love you!, Swara" without any warning Sanskar smashed his lips  on Swara's.

He slowly and smoothly  kissed Swara, he was waiting for Swara's reaction.

He was regretting his decision.

  what if  Swara doesn't want  it?That  means I am forcing her.....no!

Sanskar panicked but his panic was short lived, as he felt Swara kissing him back.

He cupped Swara's  cheek and kissed her harder......
