Swara was sitting beside uttara lost in thought... It's already morning when finally the hospital releases her new husband sanskar maheshwari after instructing ample of rest and giving his few days diet chart... and now they all are heading to home... Laksh is driving them back and Ram and Sujata have already left to make arrangements...

Sanskar is resting his head against the seat and thinking about his wife... it's not even two days and this all happened... slightly he is disturbed as from the time swara comes to know that someone tried to give abortion pill to her she is too silent for a normal girl and when he has seen she can talk dozen with his mother and sister... even she didn't for once try to talk with him nor he comes near him... he somehow guessed who might have done this... but still it hard to believe... kavita gadodiya was a well cultured educated girl, then how... just for jealousy... he wondered then what she can do if she can do these things... he looks at swara turning his head to her uttara is sitting straight so he can see her face... her eyes are still and blank thinking something deep...

Soon they are in front of their house... sujata did his arti before he enter...

"Thank god, Sanskar, you are alright... i was so afraid..." Sanskar looks at Kavita's tears stricken face... suddenly he starts to feel so disgusted...

"Han sanskar... but what has happened to you... chachi ji and chachaji refused to say anything... even when maji and papaji asked they just say food poisoning... but we ate the same food... then how..." ragini says coming towards him...

"When this apsaguni kalmuhi is in his life then what can someone expect?"

"Bhabisa..." Ram shouts at Annapurna and couldn't control anymore... "don't say a word about my daughter in law..."

"Ji... please... stop all this... chhora has just come from hospital let him take rest... laksh take him..."

Laksh obliged and was about to take him to room...

"No..." all looks at swara who is staring blankly... "i want to say something before everyone... i am not some backstabber... i show or want to show my real face... what really i am..." she says holding her stomach then goes to durgaprasad who is sitting royally on his sofa... he looks at her still sitting...

"You remember badepapa... what you said when papa asked you to accept me... a middle class orphan girl can never be your house's daughter in law... you want sophisticated girl..." swara paused then continued seeing him silent... "like them? (she pointed towards kavita anf ragini)... you didn't care for anything only the tag sophisticated right?"

She points towards ragini and kavita...

"Will their sophisticated tag ramain if they come after eating some air from jail..."

Durgaprasad stands up in second listening to her...

"What are you saying..." Ragini gritted taking steps towards her...

"You asked right? What he has eaten that he got food poisoning..." swara says, turning to her...

"He drank the same drink which ramu kaka brought for me yesterday evening..." everyone noticed the colour of ragini and kavita's face changed in second...

"So?" Kavita says mastering quickly... swara looks at her for a few seconds...

"So nothing, i have sanskar's report that saying doctors have found high dose abortion pill in his stomach..." swara says looking at her with a fired gaze...

Annapurna and durgaprasad look at her shocked...

"And you know what... if you think i am a pitiful girl of your serial barima that will bear anything to everything and forgive and forget easily thinking reputation family members bla bla bla... then you are wrong... I am not that... you know what i am thinking to go with this report to police station and also the clip of that cctv camera (points at the wall which is covering the entire hall) which will show how you, barepapa and this two little brats of yours had never accepted me and how you insulted me... it will also show who entered in the kitchen when ramukaka prepare my drink... because ramukaka is innocent... ramukaka only brought me the second juice glass which i drank... and see i am absolutely fine... anyways the thing is if i show them all the evidence and give them statements against you four then you think you can remain standing here..."

All stays silent... Ragini and kavita's face have turned white due to fear...

"Swara beta..." sujata walks to her...

"Ma... no... i know papa told me that this family's togetherness meant a lot for him but at the same time i can never tolerate anything happening to my baby... and just like you said you care for nothing but the tag sophisticated... i also care about nothing when it's come to my baby... i will not think for a microsecond before dragging you all to jail... I won't care about your age, the relationship you have with me, nothing..." she was fuming... fuming with rage... sanskar shrugs laksh's hand and slowly walks to swara...

"Swara," he holds her by shoulder... swara looks at him for a minute then looks down...

"Lets go... you need rest..."

"No.. i"

"Please... for your baby... you didn't sleep for a minute... come..." sanskar says trying to take her away from here... he doesn't blame her the way she reacts... how can she tolerate when someone tries to snatch her child... he would have warned Kavita personally after taking rest... but still he wants her to reconsider going to the police... maybe if she get some rest and then she can think properly...

"Mom" sujata nodes and held swara and led her upstairs... Laksh also takes Sanskar to his room...

"Sanskar, swara will sleep in my room... you both need rest..." sanskar just nodes looking at swara who is leaning on sujata...

Here downstairs...

"See devarji... see... that girl shows her true colour... how she threatens us?" annapurna piped in...

"Have some shame bhabisa... just a little bit... she did the right thing... see them still standing here numb... and you are supporting them... are you both with them?" Ram says, looking at his elder brother who is still staring blankly at the floor...

"Bhaisa... if she does anything that she said just a few minutes ago i will be the 1st one to stand beside her... i won't think what ma asked me to do when she was dying... i won't" ram says looking at him seriously...

"Ram..." durgaprasad looks at him shocked...

"devarji, for that girl..."

"That girl is my daughter in law bhabisa... and it was my grandchild whom they tried to kill..." he shouts...

Ragini and Kavita shievered...

"Bhaisa... Sujata has complained to me many times... i always ignore her for my duty towards you and this house... for ma.. Who took my promise to never ever leave you... but now... its not only me or my wife but an innocent girl is also involved who is my daughter in law..." saying this he strode to upstairs to his room...

Annapurna looks at kavita and Ragini angrily...

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

It is afternoon when Sanskar wakes up from sleep and looks at the time... he rubs his face and lazily sits up with support from the head board... he looks at side with click sound and sees swara coming from the washroom in blue long dress till her toe... as usual again she looked fresh like morning daisy and with her face glowing like anything... her long wet hair till her waist and her big bump making her look cute and attractive... At the same time it reminds him of many things... like she is not his... she is his at the same time she is not... and another thing how possessive she is for her baby, how terrified she was for her baby... she was so panicked when he was vomiting... and in this condition also she remained with him the whole night... still she remained far away but she didn't leave him...

"Hi... how are you feeling?" Her polite voice reaches him and takes him out of the thought... he looks at her. She is hoping for his answer which he usually never gives... but now seeing her for two days especially from last night he changed some perspective about her... after thinking a lot he comes to the conclusion he should know whats going on exactly...

"Can you please answer at least that... I won't disturb after it..." she says sadly...

"I am feeling much better... sit here..." sanskar points the place beside his stretched leg...

Swara looks at him surprised but obliged him...

"You okay now?" he hesitates... "after what happened last night..."

"Ji... I was stressed out but i think i am fine now... and she is too" she asks patting her bump...

Sanskar smiles a little...

"I don't know what to say... but can you give a second chance to them... i know i am sounding selfish but still..." he stops seeing her face expression changed abruptly... she looks blank again...

"You won't understand now what i am facing... Do you think after what happened last night I can even eat one bite peacefully?" she asks...

"I know... it's just..."

"She is all i have for now... my own... i was just 15 when ma went away... My father left us long before... before i was born... and after years i found my love my shaurya (sanskar looks at her, she was looking at him...)... i was happy... we were happy... so happy in our little world... His love made me forget my years of loneliness, my sadness... and that also didn't last long... oneday he lost... i lost him... if anything in this world is still keeping me in sane then its her... sign of my love... sign of my shaurya...

Sanskar noticed how she was glowing everytime when she was taking that shaurya name... which made him so uncomfortable... he doesn't know why but it feels weird...

"Shaurya... your lover..."

"No... no... what you want to say... my baby is illegitimate..." Sanskar looks at her and she is getting agitated...

"I... i didn't mean that... i just thought..."

"I am not what you and your extended brat family think... I said earlier also..."

Today her hormones are on a roll...

"Never call my baby like that..." she says angrily... then pats her bump...

"Sorry..." he says looking at her...

"We were married... for two years... we were happy so happy... he loved me to the core... you know i wanted one more year to wait for my baby... but he was upset... he so wanted to hold her... he so wanted that he will also cuddle with his baby... but..."

"You loved him so much?" Sanskar looks at her...

"With all my life..." swara says lost...

"Then why do you marry me... how can you forget him so easily..." he asks quite surprised and irritated what not...

"For my baby... it was getting difficult for me..." she says with tears in eyes... "and i know what it is like without a father figure... that's why i couldn't refuse when papa came to me...or else i can wait for my shaurya life long... I know oneday he will come to me..."

Sanskar looks at her with wide eyes...

"What the f**k... what do you mean by that?" Sanskar shouts, getting shocked...

"Why are you shouting... and don't use bad words... don't you know babies can hear... didn't you listen to the story of abhimanyu in your childhood?" swara looks at him annoyed...

"What do you mean he will come..."

"I mean what i say..." she shrugged...

"Shaurya is not dead?" Sanskar says getting a little heart attack...

"Subh subh boliye ji... dead is his enemy..." swara says looking at him angry...

Sanskar rubs his face with his hand and tries to process everything in mind...

"One minute... you said you both were married? (swara nodes) legally married or you both were those today's generation nibba nibbis who imagine anything to everything...'' Sanskar asks, still in shock...

"WHAT??? What do you think i am... my age? Am I 12 years old?" she growls...

"Then what about us you mad woman? If you were happily married and he lost or left suddenly then why the hell would you marry me? Do you even know we are not legally married... your 25 years old mind didn't even say that it's illegal... what a mess" sanskar shouts looking at her horrified...

"I married you because you are the reason for my shaurya's departure... you are the reason that he left me like this when i needed him most... you are the reason..." she starts to cough for too much shouting...

"Swara" he looks at her concern then gives her water while rubbing her back... swara calm down but is still huffing...

"What did I do? I.. I did nothing... I was myself in a coma period for the last 3 years... then how can i be responsible for Shaurya's departure..."

"I don't know many things... and you know what i never imagine that you are such a dumb person... you are not even near my shaurya's feet nails..." swara says seriously in gritted teeth... sanskar looks at her with an open jaw...

"I married you because I can't let you live your so-called bachelor life when i am there struggling with my child alone... what you thought you will live with that brat kavita and i will see... listen mr maheshwary until my shaurya comes back to me you are solely responsible for me and my child..." she says holding her collar...

"We are not even legally married, why would i? What are you to me?" Sanskar shoves her hand and stands up...

"Then find my shaurya... and you should be happy I will go away as soon as my shaurya comes... you didn't want this marriage right?" swara says looking at her annoyed... "i am hungry now... i am going..."

Sanskar sits on bed trying to process everything... he also feels hungry... he needs food then talks with his father who can say what exactly is the mystery...

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

Sanskar comes down and sees sujata feeding her lovingly... Uttara and Ram were also sitting... Sanskar looks for other people who are nowhere to be seen... it's already 3pm... he can't expect them to wait for him...

Sanskar sits beside ram... uttara stands up and serves him also...

Swara was looking quite stressed out... he understood the effect of their hitted conversion... he can't harm her or the baby right... he needs to process everything slowly... he needs to know what is the exact matter without being angry... he needs to do everything calmly...

"Dad" Sanskar says meekly, hesitated after whatever he had behaved from the past 1.5 months...

Ram looks at him calmly...

"I... i need to talk..."

Ram nodes without asking anything...

"Can we talk after lunch?"

Ram nodes no... "you can't go to your office for 2 days... i need to go then... we can talk after i return..."

"I am much better dad... i don't need to skip the office..."

"No..." sanskar looks at swara and sujata startled for their shout...

"Doctor has told you to rest for 2days..." sujata angrily says...

"I am fine mom... don't exaggerate..." Sanskar says irritated...

"If you want to keep those little brat's secrets as a secret then listen to her..." swara says angrily... sanskar keeps quiet... swara was looking at him thinking he will react but when he didn't she stands up angrily...

"You... you want that brat kavita to be safe right... see ma see... even after knowing how insensitive heartless she is he is still trying to protect her... if it would have my shaurya, he would have shaved her head and make her roam whole town sitting on a donkey..." swara burst out in cry after finishing... sujata hugs her and looks at rest mouthing "hormones"

Sanskar opens his mouth to say something but ram kicks him under the table so he stays silent...

Uttara took swara with her...

Ram assured Sanskar to talk to him after coming...

Sanskar was sitting in the room with a book still lost in thought... he looked up, feeling someone's presence in the room...

He looks up only to see kavita... his face expression changed in second...

"What are you doing here?" Sanskar says angrily...

"Sanskar... I didn't..."

"Stop it... and get out..." he barks angrily...

"Please sanskar hear me out..."

"No... you are such a disgusting girl...you still have guts to come in infront of me?"

"Sanskar... please... give me one chance to explain..."

"Not a single chance kavita... not even one... you know what i thought you are a good girl to whom me and my family did injustice... but thank god i am not married to you... your this single behavior is enough to give me the right character certificate of yours..."

"I... i..."

"Get out, just get out before I call the police myself..." sanskar shouts...

Kavita goes away crying angrily defeated...

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

It was evening sanskar is waiting for Ram impatiently in the study room... swara is calmed down and he literally got a heart attack when she smiles at him this evening... pregnant women are horrible...

Ram entered with some files and sat with him...

"Sorry dad..." that was the 1st thing sanskar says bowing his head... ram just smiles...

"It's ok..." ram says patting his back...

"Dad... what is the mystery of this shaurya?" Sanskar asks directly...

"He is swara's husband who has been missing for 8 months..." Ram says calmly...

"And why the hell am I to be blamed?" Sanskar says confused...

"Because you were the last person he was with and you took him somewhere..."

"What?" Sanskar asks, shocked... "I was in a coma period..."

"No you were not..."

Ram handed him some files...

"We didn't know where you were after your accident on that engagement day... we all thought you were de... and then when we found you were with swara... in hospital... and you don't remember what you did in those years..."

Sanskar looks up at him shocked after reading his medical reports...

"But... but barima kavita and ragini said... i..."

"They lied and we couldn't correct you as doctors asked us not to. You are quite stable now... sanskar... sanskar.... No no my son... sanskar...'' Ram holds an unconscious sanskar in his arm shaking him vigorously...

Precap... shaurya...
