"look madam whoever you are I don't have any time for you... and neither I will have in future... so better you say no for this marriage... have you ever have any idea how much work I have... I have no time for your stupid nagging... all day this that... understood? I hope none really want this kind husband? So just say your parents no" he says arrogantly and just cut the call... the full phase shy smile dimmed in a second... she looks at the phone blinks several time not wanting the tear to be fall...

She looks towards hall where her and her sister ragini's in laws has come... she swallows the lump which was forming in her throat and goes to them... laksh ragini's boyfriend or fiancé smiles at her and takes the phone from her: did you talk swara ji... bhai?

He asks uncertain... shekhar smiles: whats there to ask... her face is evident... we are agree with this marriage...

Sujata smiles: yes yes who will reject my son... he is handsome and having his own business he didn't take any penny from anyone...

She says proudly... swara looks down...

Parvati just smiles tightly and glare at shekhar... : its so sweet of you mrs maheshwary that after all this also you are choosing our orphan girl for your son...

Sujata looks at her shocked then at swara who just bows her head... shekhar sighs... sujata immediately looks at her husband who inturn ask her to keep quiet... she looks away...

Ram: shekhar ji then we will come next Sunday for shagun... what say bhaisa...

Durgaprasad nodes and maheshwary family took their leave...

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

Sujata fumes: aa ji... I don't want any orphan girl for my sanskar... I want my bahu to be from good reputed family...

Ram: she is from reputed family only sujata... his father was major aditya bose and mother sharmishta bose one army doctor... both died for an unfortunate incident in war... shekhar ji was their only friend... he adopted her when she was ten years old...

Sujata twitch her nose: then too I don't want any orphan...

Ram: sujata you know very well... from last 3 years we are trying to make sanskar agree for marriage... some how laksh make her agree for swara... he is already 30... so please... society is talking things about him... you know very well...

Sujata thinks deeply then sighed: ok do you think it will do... sanskar is not doing it willingly... laksh blackmail him...

Ram: let this marriage happen then we will see...

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

"may I come in baba?" swara asks timidly seeing parvati is in the room as well...

Shekhar nodes with slight smile: what happened beta?

Swara: baba woh this marriage...

Janki who was silent talks for the 1st time: swara look don't try to deny... aditya ji and sharmishta ji gave your responsibility on us... we are just fulfilling... look swara 2-3 people came to see you right? None accept you as you are orphan... they only accept... good family and the boy is also established...

"he don't want to marry me" swara says timidly choaking her voice...

Janki: all says like this only swara... after marriage this things change... I no need to tell you beta how... you are now very much adult to know all this...

Parvati: and above all we nourished you for all this year... if you and ragini go in same house then I will be relieved... just cover her mistakes... my lado shouldn't get any taunt... and you know she can't do anything on her own... so just take care of her like you used to do all this year...

Shekhar smiles: swara beta... if you get married then my burden will also be reduce and I can fulfil the promise which I gave to aditya... don't worry...

Parvati: and han don't forget your responsibility on us... if you are now a teacher then its for us only... my shekhar gave you his name and took the expense for your education... its your responsibility to take care of him now...

Janki smiles: yes beta... and now you are marrying a big businessman so your earning will be some dust for them... so if you continue your job after marriage then help your baba...

Swara nodes...

"now go and sleep" shekhar says with smile...

Swara was there adopted daughter... so for them she was their extra responsibility nothing else... she knew it... they never scold her make her do any house hold work... never torture her... though she was reminded that she is the adopted daughter... she come 1st in school just because she is adopted daughter and her baba shouldn't regret adopting her... she do mischief and cry for that small mistake just because she give her baba chance to think did he really do right thing by adopting her... she help janki in household work willingly just because she is paying her debt atleast by this though ragini can't even pour one glass of water for herself... she joined the government school as a teacher though she wanted to do phd just because she is now 25... how many days she should be a burden on them... her whole sallery deposit on her baba's account just because she is now paying her debt on them... showing her hearty gratitude... she have to do her sister's work just because she is adopted...

Now she have to marry him... just because again she is adopted...

Adopted... orphan...

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

And the marriage happened... laksh ragini enjoy all those rituals whole heartedly... where as swara was alone... he came for 10 minutes on engagement day to exchange the ring... he didn't even looked at her and when he was leaving she noticed the fury the anger spitting from his eyes... it was her fortune he came to marry her atleast...

Her sister in law uttara leave her in the room and said she will send her bhai... she stand there at middle of room noticing the room which is decorated with scented candle and flower... she jerk when room door was opened then he slummed the door... with out sparing a glance to her he just goes towards cupboard and takes out his night clothes... swara doesn't even know what to do or say... should she talk to him once... if he gets disturbed... he doesn't want any disturbance... no nagging...

Swara looks at the suitcase and goes to open it... she slowly takes out her jewellery herself and wait for her husband to come out from washroom... and he comes out... swara wait for some minutes that may be he will say something but no he just goes towards bed and harshly pul down the flower decoration and throws on the floor... then sleeps on it... swara quickly goes to washroom... she close her eyes... tears fall one drop by one drop... she holds the sink tightly and starts to cry vigorously...

After sometime she comes out from the washroom in simple kurti and plazo... she safely keep her wedding dress and jewellery boxes in her bag... then thinks for a second and slowly sleep another side of the bed in extreme corner...

Next morning swara comes out from her room at about 6:30... she was always an early riser... she took 15 days leave from her school... she slowly goes to the mandir and starts to clean it... she have another 6 days leave... at about 7:15 she feels someone pulls her pallu... she turns smiles at the youngest member of the family... nisha... parineeta maheshwary and adarsh maheshwary's only daughter... nisha is only 2 and half years old little bundle of joy... she quickly gives her a kiss... nisha giggles and wrap her hand around her neck...

Swara takes her to garden and plucks flowers for puja carrying her on waist... when she returns some of her family is already there... her two mother in laws and father in laws and uttara... uttara smiles at her...

Annapurna smiles at her and asks her to start puja... she placed nisha on floor who cling to her leg only clutching her saree... after puja uttara tries to hold nisha but she shoves her hand...

Uttara: haww saitan... got badi chachi so now forgot pipi...

She giggles and clutch swara's saree...

Sujata: chhori... go make something sweet for breakfast as your 1st cooking for here...

Swara nodes... sujata looks at Annapurna and says in mocking tone: arey jiji... looks like another lazy bone comes to you... one just give born to the child and roam like she is the most free person in the world... and guess what another one is same like you...

Annapurna smiles: actually my son and daughter might have a long night... unlike yours...

She taunted back efficiently looking at swara who is going towards kitchen with nisha trailing behind her...

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

At about 8:15 ragini and parineeta comes down... parineeta lazily seats on sofa and looks at her daughter sitting with uttara sipping something in a baby plastic cup...

Parineeta: what are you drinking baby...

Nisha gives her a toothy smile and runs to her... she tries to climb on her lap... when parineeta chided: nishu you are not baby anymore sit here...

She makes her sit on sofa beside her... nisha's smile faded...

Annapurna looks at ragini: ragini beta go make something sweet as your first cook...

Ragini looks at her horrified... she gives a forced smile and slowly walks to kitchen... nisha finish her cup and runs to kitchen... parineeta took the magazine...

At 8:30 sanskar comes down all in formal talking to phone... he just simply walk out of the house... then return with a packet... he looks around trying to find the particular person... but didn't find... he again goes up to the room...

All comes to the table for eat... satish kaka the old servant and his wife bimla masi serve them tea and break fast while swara and ragini comes with two dish...

The room fill with delicious aroma of the sweets... sanskar and other two guy of the family sits on chair... sanskar was talking in phone... he absent mindedly tore the puri and gulp it with aloo panir sabji... and then only he halt for a second carefully noticing his plate... ragini also sits with laksh and swara serve all of them the sweets and sits beside nisha who is calling her from long: tome tome...(come come)... she was patting her side chair...

Swara smiles at her and sit with her... swara notice she was making mess with food and her mother is just eating her food... swara slowly shoves her hand feed her with love... nisha giggles and eats from her...

Annapurna: both kheer and this gajar halwa is tasty... ragini which one you made?

Ragini smiles: gajar ka halwa...

Swara smiles... ragini looks at her swara blinks... while feeding she didn't eat at all... she was about to eat when sanskar stands up and looks at her: you come to room...

He says in blank voice and left... swara looks at all but none really care... pushing the spoon in nisha's mouth and then makes her drink some water... she rush to her new room...

Sanskar standing there with some file in hand talking in phone... she stood there in silence... sanskar looks at her and end the call... he forward the packet to her... swara looks at the packet and then at him questioningly...

"I don't have whole day... take it..." he gritted his teeth... swara slowly took it and looks at him...

"what is this?" she asks in low voice...

"for which you were so eager to marry me..." he says with rude voice... then strode out of the room...

Swara slowly sits on bed with the packet and open it... her heart pained seeing bank book, check book, credit card... account on the name of Swara Sanskar Maheshwary... 2lakh deposited there... so he thinks she married him for this... she slowly wipes her tears which fall with the realisation then keep the book in cupboard and the card in her parse... she needs money that's obvious...

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

6 days later...

Sanskar's life never change... meetings files office home sleep eat... he never felt like he is married... his so called wife neither nag him for his attention nor disturb him with her presence... he count the times when he has actually seen her in his house... its not that he is sad or something like that moreover he is very happy...

He was thinking this all sleeping on bed when he feels the matress deepen other side of the bed... she came to sleep... he see the table clock beside him...its almost 12am... what was she doing till now...

Oh may be bitching with other daughter in laws of the house... he tries to sleep and the sleep come to him as he was very tired... 2 company handling is not easy task...

Next day morning...

All are eating their breakfast... all are least bother about each other... parineeta and ragini is discussing something about shoping things... uttara sits beside her bhai who is engrossed in eating and his phone... she looks here and there then asks none particular: where is nishu...

None bothered to answer ever nisha's own parents... bimla who was serving says noticing none answered: nishu baby is with majli bhabi sa in kitchen...

Uttara raise her eyebrows: you mean swara bhabi? And what is she doing in kitchen instead of having breakfast?

This time satish kaka answered: woh bahurani is packing lunch for everyone and feeding babyji there only...

Uttara nodes... sanskar stands up as his phone ringed and left from there with out any greeting or anything... he shouts at entrance: satish kaka bring my bag in car...

Sanskar sits in car and satish kaka place his bag and lunchbox in car... from 6 days this lunch box is going with him... and his secretary serve him from this lunch box only... the food has become some what tasty that's why he doesn't deny... or else he don't like bimla chachi's hand made food at all... may be bimla chachi has improved her cooking skill...

Swara comes out in simple saree from kitchen with nishu trailing behind her... uttara scruch her eyebrows...

Uttara: bhabi... aap...

Then only all notice swara listening her loud gasp... she is wearing simple saree with her hair tied in a low pony... a wristwarch in hand and a small bindi on forehead... pinch of vermillion is also there with her mangalsutra in neck... small simple ear rings...

Ramprasad maheshwary looks at her daughter in law: so swara you are joining your school from today?

Swara smiles a little: ji papa...

Parineeta: school?

Swara smiles a little: yes I am math teacher in xyz school...

Parineeta makes a oh face: but you are now maheshwary daughter in law... whats need to do this low profile job... how much sallery you will get? My sandle also will not come from it...

Saying this she laughs like a spoilt brat... sujata gets annoyed... she also didn't want her to go but for her husband she can't say anything...

Swara didn't say anything she remain silent... ram shook his head seeing their illiteracy... she takes blessing from all... sujata and Annapurna give whatever look...

Sujata: my so is topmost business man in india and being his wife you are going to some government school as a teacher...

Annapurna laughs: han sujata... you daughter in law is unique indeed... one orphan and second...

"bhabi... Annapurna" ramprasad maheshwary and durgaprasad maheshwary shouts at the same time... swara gulps and goes up to take her bag...

She was about go out when she feels someone pull her pallu... she knew who is it... she turns and see nisha clutching her pallu holding doll tight to her chest...

"whele ale you going... nishu will tome..." swara smiles and kneels down infront of her...

"how will nishu come... then who will see tara..." she says caressing her doll...

"tara will also tome..." nishu says...

"but tara is so small... tara can't come... so nishu baby will looks after tara and her badi chachi will come soon... then will play... be a good baby..." she kissed her cheeks and forehead and goes out...

Uttara smiles looking at her: her this bhabi is different... different from all member of her family...

Swara comes out to market then enter in to atm... she takes out 2000 rs... then takes one bus that will drop her near her school...

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

1 month passed...

Swara makes herself busy with her school, kitchen and nishu... she wakes up at 6 then prepare breakfast and lunch together... ask bimla kaki and satish kaka to warm them and serve... come from school then play with nisha and sometime makes snacks... when she have to check copies then simply make nisha see alphabet books and colour books which she bought... then make dinner...

Sanskar also leading his old regular life... two offices, meetings... come home eat and sleep... he may be forgot that he is now married... coffee with some snacks always be there when he come early from office... coffee cups also change with time with out his knowledge... his dresses would be ready on bed at the time of office also when he comes from office... his things will be neat and clean and placed in right places without his knowledge... he now like the homefood that's why he avoid dinner meetings and all...

He was in maeshwary industry when his secretary aman comes with previous months bill of different cards of maheshwarys... sanskar takes it and starts to sign...

"1.5 lakh for Annapurna"

"1 lakh for sujata..."

"3lakhs on parineeta maheshwary" sanskar gritted his teeth... how come anyone spend so much money...

"5 lakhs on ragini maheshwary" sanskar sees this and dials laksh's number...

"laksh if you are free now come to my cabin..." he says in cold voice and keeps it...

"50000 for uttara maheshwary..."

"62000 for adarsh maheshwary"

"2 lakhs for laksh maheshwary"

"40000 for sanskar maheshwary"

"2000"... sanskar again checks... 2000... and he checks the name "swara maheshwary" he again checks... no... its really just 2000...

He calls aman...: aman check again the account name on swara maheshwary I think there is some mistake...

"ok sir" aman says...

Laksh comes in his cabin...

"bhai you called me?" he asks unsuringly for which reason he has called now...

Sanskar gives her the file opening account bill on ragini maheshwary...

"seriously laksh... 5 lakhs... what the hell is this... I want full report on this laksh..."

"bhai we wnt honeymoon you know"

"for that only the 2lakhs rs is of your account is efficient... that too for 7days tour... as the hotel booking and vehicles are totally sponsored by our company then It can make sense that you spend 2 lakhs for your so called shopping or other things..." laksh bows his head gritting his teeth but can't say anything...

"make ragini understand please to be in limit..." sanskar says and looks at the file...

Laksh wanted to see how much this jerk's wife has spent... he slowly turns the page and widen his eyes to see only 2000... he rubs his eyes and count the zeros... but no its only 2000...

Aman comes with a page...

"sir" he forwards the a4 sheet to sanskar...

Sanskar again checks... but no its still 2000 only... sanskar frowns and looks at laksh: laksh if you are done then go...

He nodes and sanskar sign the papers...

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

Laksh holds ragini's elbow: ragini what you have bought that you spend 5lakhs...

Ragini looks at him annoyingly and snatch her hand from his and continue her work... that is polishing her nails: whats wrong with you laksh... we have business... 5lakhs is so less...

Laksh gritted his teeth: no its not... you know how much I have to listen from sanskar bhai...

"from sanskar ji? But why? Its our company's money... not his" she twitch her nose...

"sanskar bhai is 56% share holder of our company... every thing every small bills also need his sign to pass ok... he is managing our company..."

Ragini widen his eyes: means he is only the boss... and what about you and adarsh bhai?

"we have half half share among those 44%" when bade bhaiya and I took over the maheshwary company then bhai single handedly starts his own company... with increasing years his company starts to grow like anything and our starts to fall... it was like we would have to sell it for the debt... but then papa and chachaji request bhai... he cleverly put this clause of being maximum share holder and bhai didn't merge the companies but single handedly manage both... that's why karma is In 1st and maheshwaries are in 2nd... that's why bhai always remain busy like hell..."

"then what you both do?" ragini asks horrified by the revealing...

"we just help him... please ragini I request you just spend money with limit..." saying this ragini goes away...

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

Sanskar comes home at 7pm... he thinks to talk with his so called wife... he walks to his room and search for her... and the he realised he never seen her in his room until he stays there...

He quickly goes to washroom for freshen up... when he comes out he sees one hot steamy coffie and some bhujia is on some plate...

He looks here and there then takes some of his files... and starts to sip the coffee... after finishing it sanskar notice it 8:15... he stands up and goes out to search the particular person... he goes to uttara's room she is reading... he already knows adarsh and parineeta has gone for some friends party will come late night... then he goes to ram and sujata's room... ram is reading book sujata is talking on phone... he rolls his eyes... in durgaprasad and annapurna's room almost same thing... durgaprasad is reading book... Annapurna sleeping and sabita kaki is massaging her legs...

He takes a deep breath and goes to laksh's room... ragini is talking and laksh is watching match...

He frowns then where is she... he goes to nisha's room... nisha is not there... he knew parineeta will not go with nisha... she can't babysit her in home then forget about party...

He looks around getting angry... where the hell is this girl... he comes in hall and notice satish kaka...

"satish kaka ummm... where is swara?" satish kaka looks at him then says... : bahurani is in kitchen...

"kitchen?" sanskar's frown deep... he strode towards kitchen... and there he sees her... may be for the 1st time properly...

She is carrying nisha on her waist and the little soul has putting his arm around her neck... her head is resting on her shoulder... like she is cranky child not wanting to leave her mother for a second... by one hand swara holding her and by other hand she is stirring something on gas... inbetween feeding nisha, who is getting cranky in every seconds and she is cooing sweet nothing to her... she turn of the gas and cover the pot with lid...

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...

Precap: "you... you were... you were crying last night" sanskar says looking at swara...

Swara clutch the photoframe tightly: I am sorry I disturbed your sleep... it will not happen again... I am sorry... so sorry...

She whispers looking down then goes out of the room...

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

"can you imagine this girl just marry sanskar for money...chiii... bloody gold digger" aman says disgustingly... sanskar is looking outside the window still trying to understand why she was crying last night in sleep...

"this... this is sanskar sir's wife?" kajal asks starring the photo..

Aman frowns: yes why?

Kajal slaps him hard...

Sanskar also turn listening the slapping sound...
