Swara comes the small chair table place in kitchen and makes nisha sit there... a cry escape from nishu and she throw her arms around her...

"nishu baby sit here for sometime... how will I make roti carrying you... sit here for sometime baby... badimamma will take you soon..." nishu nodes no crying and burying her face in her chest... swara looks down at her helpless... she touch her forehead: arey see your fever has also reduced... now my baby will be a good baby and let badimamma do the work...

Nisha still cling to her...

"what she has fever?" swara looks at the door... her husband is standing there looking at them...

Swara looks away immediately as sanskar comes to them with steady steps... he tries to touch nisha but nisha shoves his hand clinging to swara...

"I will call doctor" sanskar says taking out his phone from pocket...

"doctor came (she says hurriedly)... doctor came in the evening only and gave her injection... fever has gone..." she says slowly holding nisha close as she is not letting her go at all...

Sanskar nodes...: then take her to her room... and what is she doing here that too with you... parineeta bhabi knows she has fever?

Swara nodes murmuring a small yes... sanskar sighs closing his fist in anger... then again says: what are you doing in kitchen...

Swara stays silent... sanskar gets angry when she didn't answer... he shouts: bimla kaki...

"please don't shout... she is getting afraid" swara says worriedly as nisha sobs...

Sanskar looks at her in disbelief... he looks at her for some minutes... that's when bimla kaki comes there running: ji baba...

Sanskar looks at her: take nisha to her room...

Swara looks at him shockingly then at nisha who is clinging to her... sanskar tries to take nisha from her... nisha clutch her saree tightly... when she couldn't manage and sanskar successfully takes her in his arm, she burst out in to cry loudly bending to swara upping her hands... swara quickly takes her from sanskar and for the 1st time she talks loudly: what are you doing... please you do your work... I know you have so many work to do... I can manage myself...

She rubs nisha's back who is still crying like anything... she goes to bimla kaki who was silently watching: bimla kaki please make the rotis...

She goes to upstair carrying nisha... sanskar was still looking at the direction...

At dinner...

All are eating as usual busy with ownself... when ragini annoyingly says: bimla kaki what happens... how you make roti? See the border is so thick... and its not also well baked also...

Bimla didn't say anything... others also didn't say anything... as they are used to this type of roti's... its only one month they get some good teasty food... though they least bother... but ragini is not used to it... janki swara both good at cooking... in her house she always get teasty food... after her coming from the next day swara took charge of maheshwary kitchen and family member never knew... though they find change but they are least bother... so for ragini its new but for others its not... sanskar also get little annoyed with the roti so he took rice instead...

Uttara looks at the empty chairs: bimla kaki swara bhabi?

Bimla says: she said she will eat later...

Durgaprasad asks: she is with nisha? Give her food in nisha's room only...

Bimla nodes... she mentally rolls her eyes... this family... 2 and half years old baby has separate room... waah...

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

Sanskar looks up with frown from his laptop... there is some sound at outside... he goes out to see what it is... and the scene make him angry as hell... parinita and adarsh maheshwary comes home from their so called party drunk as hell... from head to toe they are filled with sharab only... satish kaka and bimla kaki supporting them from the main door... his eyes divert to the kitchen he notice swara coming out carrying nisha with her feeder in hand... he notice she stops at the entrance only looking at the direction... she hurriedly and somewhat forcefully buried nisha's face in chest and goes back to kitchen...

Sanskar looks at the clock its almost 11:30... he can't wait more he has to talk with swara... so standing up he headed outside... he 1st see nisha's room... but frowns seeing it empty... he thinks for some moment and then goes to kitchen... he looks around but can't find anyone neither nisha nor his so called wife...

He switch on the bright light and notice he sitting on floor... nisha is safely sleeping in her cocoon wrapped with her pallu with her feeder in mouth... swara is tightly holding and she herself dodged in to sleep with the support of the cabinet on her back...

He feels jealous... so much jealous of nisha... he hardly remember he also have someone who wrapped him like this and hide him from this world... the members of this family only bothered about party society image money... they had to give birth to children that's why they give birth... and then leave them on their own... he uttara laksh adarsh all brought up by their bimla kaki... their mothers were too busy to look after them... if they get time from the show off then only they will look after them right... then why she is holding nisha where the hell is bimla kaki?

He comes out of shock as a cry escape from nisha as she tries to remove the clothes around her... swara quickly opens her eyes and looks at her... she romoves her pallu from her... she is sweating... fever has finally gone... swara looks up only to see sanskar looking at her... she tries to stand up but couldn't... sitting there like that for long time makes her legs jammed... she looks at him once again then sighs and tries to stand once again without disturbing the little soul in her lap... finally sanskar thought to help her a little... come to her and tries to take nisha... swara holds nisha tightly: its ok... I can manage...

Sanskar gritted his teeth and steps back... swara by her own stands up securing nisha in her arms properly...

Swara was about to go... sanskar says: I need to talk to you...

Swara looks at him and nodded... sanskar: keep her in her room... and come in my room... I am waiting...

Swara: she is ill... I can't leave her alone...

Sanskar looks at her amused... she is not even her child... whose child she is... they are drunk as hell why she care...

Sanskar frowns: call bimla kaki...

Swara doesn't know why he is calling... last time he talked when he gave her those atm cards...

Swara looks at nisha then at him going: can we talk tomorrow... will it disturb your work very much?

Sanskar stops and somehow understood she is not going to leave that little soul on her own when she is down with fever... he didn't say anything... swara slowly goes upstair and about to enter in nisha's room.. when sanskar asks: her bed is very small how will you sleep?

He couldn't help but ask being curious...

Swara softly says: I will manage don't worry...

Sanskar sighs: come in room with her...

Saying this he goes away without listening her reply... swara thinks for sometime then slowly goes to his room... sanskar was already sleeping at his side... swara sleeps at another side keeping nisha close to her not wanting to disturb his precious sleep... who knows then he get sleep during work...

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

Next day it was Saturday... swara was in relief today is her half day and she will be here in lunch time... nisha don't have stay alone for long... she was making breakfast and lunch as usual before leaving for school... when she heard sanskar shouting bimlakakiiii... bimla runs out of the kitchen... and in next second she heard nisha's loud cry...

She hurriedly pour the tea in cups and asks satish kaka to give tea to everyone... satish nodes and took the tray... swara hurriedly pour milk in the vessel and put it on gas and runs out to fetch the baby... she stops at the door only for some moment and shook her head seeing the scene...

Parinita is shouting: nisha stop crying... bimla why you take her here... go out from here with her... my head is paining like hell... urrgghhh... nisha stop it...

She shouts... durgaprasad and ramprasad close their eyes tightly and shook their head...

Ramprasad says: pari bahu... she had fever yesterday... you should take her...

"I am not doctor chachaji... I know she had fever... then what she is doing here... she should be in her room taking rest not here shouting... bimla kaki still you are here go from here and make her stop..." parinita maheshwary says annoyingly pressing her head...

Adarsh also says this time: bimla kaki go na please...

Swara quickly goes to them... and take nisha... who hide herself in her... swara hurriedly goes to kitchen... nisha is still sobbing... fever makes her cranky... she wants her badimamma only...

Swara quickly off the milk... and asks bimla to bring nisha's tooth brush...

Here sanskar is thinking something...

He was getting ready when nisha wakes up and called out: badi mamma...

She was rubbing her eyes and looks around... sanskar quickly calls bimla kaki and by the time tears started to fall from her eyes: badimamma...

When bimla comes to take her for his astonish she denied to go and burst out in cry... bimla told her she will take her to her badimamma then only she goes to her...

He comes out only to see uttara standing at nisha's door with teary eyes... he frowns and goes to her... he stands beside her and sees swara in very different attire and sitting on bed holding nisha on her lap making her sleep cooing sweet nothing...

Uttara notice sanskar: bhai... swara bhabi loves nisha so much na? just like a mother... this is how a mother act right? I know I heard from my friends... you are so lucky bhai... bhabi is so different...

Sanskar looks at uttara but didn't say anything and goes from there...

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

At office...

Sanskar was checking some files... but he was continuously thinking about swara... was it real... she must be pretending huh... her sister is like that then why she would be like it...

He gets angry that leaving his work he is thinking about some bullshit... then only aman knocks his door...

"may I come in sir?"

Hmmm...

"sir this files..."

Sanskar noded and started to check... suddenly he stops and looks at aman...

"what happened sir any problem?"

"can you tell me one thing?" sanskar asks hesitantly...

Aman nodes reluctantly...

"when you get ill... what your mother do?"

Amans wonders why he is asking like this... but then answer... "sir she gets very worried and whole night stay with me... feed me... cares my hair so that I can sleep... why sir?"

"oh" sanskar murmur then looks at his files... aman couldn't understand why he is asking...

"you can go..." sanskar says in his usual cold voice so aman left...

At evening he comes from office... he thought to check on nisha but then shrugs it and goes to his room...

He comes after freshen up only to see her keeping his coffee cup... its already 8:45... after sometime they will have dinner...

Swara waits for sometime he wanted to talk... but didn't say anything... she was about to go out when he asks: how is nisha?

Swara turns and says: fine... fever hasn't come today...

Sanskar nodes...: you withdrew some 2000 rs from your account this month?

Swara close her eyes then nodes... for 2000 also she have to give answer... so that is the talk... she keeps the trey on the table and then goes to her cupboard... she takes out her parse and then comes to him...

"my everyday transport 20 rupees... so 520 for my transport and I bought some books for nisha and with my some necessary things its took some 250rupees... so its 770... I have the remaining here..." she shows her parse to him... sanskar was dumbfounded... he never mean it... he just wanted to know why so less amount... here she showing him rupees to rupees calculation... he looks at the parse... two 500 note and 1 two hundred not with some 10 or 20 rupees note is there... he gulps and looks at her...

"badimamma" nisha's voice comes to her... swara looks at his husband... he was all silent...

"can I go?" she asks... sanskar couldn't find his voice... he just nodes... and with that swara goes out...

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

Sanskar didn't talk about it after this... but yeah he thinks about it a lot and he comes in to a worst conclusion which angered him 10fold...

"yes her sister do some 5lakhs rupees right... may be both sister shopped from same card only to show him how good she is..." sanskar thought and he gritted his teeth... he hates double faced people who acted so innocent... he cared less... he return to his old routine again and immerse more in to the work... but some actions of swara give him reason of 2nd thought...

Like yesterday... he was about to go office when uttara called: bhai... can you drop me xyz college... I have exam there... my activa is punctured...

Sanskar nodes like its not a big deal her college is in his office path only... both were about to go... when swara called uttara: uttaraaa...

Both turns sees swara comes to her... she gaze at him then quickly averted his eyes and looks at uttara... he forward one bowl to uttara: dahi chini... you have exam... all the best...

Uttara looks at her overwhelmed none did this for her... she often see her friends... their mom feeding them this particular food...

Swara smiles at her but soon it fade away listening sanskar: I don't have whole day uttara come fast...

Uttara looks back at him then swara: bhabi feed me...

Swara feed her... sanskar again notice she is wearing simple saree with her pallu pinned on her shoulder in decent pleats... a loose braid in hair and a simple watch in hand... uttara shook him: bhai lets go...

He goes out...

Everytime he makes himself give one or other reason to make himself believe that she is not some decent girl at all...

Next 2 months pass like this...

On the 3rd month swara agin withdrew some 3000 rupees...

One night sanskar's sleep disturb as he heard some unfamiliar sound... he wakes up and on the light... then he notice swara, her shoulder is shaking... he gets down and move to her side... she was murmuring something and not only that she was crying... he notice she is clutching the blanket...

"why are you crying?" he asks in audible voice but didn't get any response...

"hey... swa... swara?" he asks again... but again no response...

Sanskar sees her carefully... is she crying in sleep... he touch her shoulder... yes she is crying in sleep... he hesitantly starts to cares her hair and it stops slowly...

When sanskar notice she is ok so he gets up and sleeps on his side looking at her...

Next day...

Swara notice its 7:55... she will go at 9... but her husband is still sleeping... she slightly shook him so that he wakes up: sanskar ji...

What happened to him everyday he wakes up on his own... sanskar wakes up with jerk... and looks at her... swara immediately get straight...

He looks at her with frown... swara looks down: its 8... office...

She fumbles...

Sanskar gets up and looks at the clock then at her: you were crying at night... in sleep... did you get any nightmare?

Swara looks at him shock...: I... cried? I am sorry... I disturb your sleep... it won't happen again... I am sorry... so sorry...

She apologized repeatedly... sanskar looks at her: its... its ok... did you get any night mare?

"I... am ok..." with that she run out from there...

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

At office...

Sanskar is seeping his coffee and thinking about her cry... she was crying badly in sleep...

When aman comes with kajal, his girl friend and she is doing P. hd...

Sanskar: you took leave?

Aman: yeah sir who I am here to invite you for our marriage...

Kajal smiles politely: sir... I heard you are married come with maam and your family...

Aman didn't like the idea: kajal sir don't like mam... she is nothing but a bloody gold digger...

Kajal looks at him flabbergasted... aman slowly tells her everything... as he was there only sanskar talk to swara before marriage... and also told how she is trying to gain sympathy... kajal feels weird about the girl... sanskar is standing looking out of the window still thinking swara's crying face...

Kajal scrunch his face: I really want to see her...

Aman nodes: let me show you...

Aman takes out his phone and show her swara's formal photo... he had as he only made her bank account...

Kajal looks at the photo with shock... she looks at aman disbelief: she is the girl whom you are talking?

Aman nodes...

Kajal asks again: you are saying she is gold digger?

Aman nodes...: not only that highly manipulative.. she...

Aman couldn't say another word kajal slaps him hard... sanskar also turn listening slapping sound...

Kajal looking at aman furiously: you called my swara gold digger... one more word about my swara I won't hesitate yo cut your tongue... how much you know her... who are you to judge her...

Then she realised swara again comes in hell only... she looks at sanskar: if you can't give love to your wife why you agreed... my swara... she only hoped atleast after marriage she will get someone who will love her truly... for whom she won't be a burden... a orphan... you snatched that also...

Sanskar is looking at her wide eyes... orphan... burden what the hell she is saying...

"you both called her gold digger... may she don't earn crores in month but she has one respectful job for which she earn more than enough for her... 50000 per month is not less right? And even that also she donate to her so called family... that's why she needed your bloody 2000 money... she is not beggar like your family..."

"orphan? Earn money? What are you saying?" kajal looked away disgusted...

Sanskar asks desperately: will you please answer?

Kajal: what answer han? Don't pretend to be innocent ok? And I am not afraid of you... your so called bloody power...

"answer it damn it..." he shouts...

"what? What you want to know... that she is an orphan... her mother and father..." with that she gives details of her as they were best friend from childhood... how gadodia family always look at her as burden not as daughter... how ragini get everything... how ragini make her do her work... how swara destry her dream to do p. hd and join school not wanting to be burden... how her whole sallery goes to shekhar's account that's why she needed his money... how her self respect is greater than anything in this world... and what she shows not some manipulative work but her real character which is as true as sun and moon...

She cried vigorously when aman touch her shoulder to comfort her... she jerk him and throw the ring to him which he gave to propose her: I hate you... you called my swara with those names... oh god I totally forgot today is her parent's death anniversary... for you my swara is alone... I have to find her...

She runs out leaving a numb blank sanskar behind with a heart broken aman...

In next minutes sanskar found himself going to his car... he goes to her school to enquire about her... he found out she is on leave at its her parent's death anniversary...

Sanskar search for her in every temple... called in home whether she reached or not... at last he found her in temple sitting against a piller holding a photoframe close to her chest looking at the water beside the tample... its almost evening... he slowly goes to her and bend on his knees...

"swara..." she looks at him unfocused...

"its late... lets go..." he whisper scanning her face which is showing her devastated self...

"swara..." he again calls her...

She looks at him... "chalo... main lene aya hu..."

"you go... I will go later..."

"its late... chalo please..."

"you go... don't waste your time... work"

Sanskar shook his head: I will go with you only... please... chalo...

Swara looks at him then again at the water then ups her hand pointing a banyan tree beside the water: wo diye buj jaye... fir chale?

Sanskar looks at the two light... then nodes...

"will it hamper your work..."

"no" sanskar gulps the unknown lump and walks to wards the banyan tree to take blessing from his in laws... and may be for asking forgiveness...

Precap: last part...

Is this sanskar's guilt?

Does swara deserve it?his guilt?
