Rabta (Relation)

Swara sat up on bed but sanskar just left without turning back.

Swara:  I heard everything Sanskar, please at least once listen to me.

She wanted to run behind him but Ragini held her.

Ragini: Please di... You are not well..

Swara: How can he Ragini? He is killing himself. He is broken...I spoke so rudely to him. I have hurt him when my heart knew he can't do anything at such. How much i loathed him? My sanskar....(she was on verge of crying)please at least now tell me the complete truth.

Malvika knocked and entered with food tray khushi was behind with food trolley.

Malvika: If you don't mind can we all ladies have food together while boys are having it in Sanskar's room.

Ragini narrowed eyes at them knowing sanskar might have passed out and would be under doctor care. It's routine he doesn't eat most of the days when he is low on energy. Malvika just closed her eyes in assurance that what Ragini is thinking is right but they need to care for swara also.

Ragini: Di, you both need rest it's too late. Let's have food I am too hungry. (She said wiping tears from swara's eyes)

Swara: But barbie she would also need to be fed.

Malvika: Don't worry she is sleeping peacefully after having expressed milk and Lakshji is in room as he had some work.

Ragini: At least now let's have some food I am hungry..

Me too joined in Khushi. They all settled with plates non was interested in eating but for swara they had to more then her sanskar needed that mental peace as he would check all her actions through CCTV.

Swara's eyes watered looking at her favourite spread of food.

Malvika: I hope it's all that you like.

Swara glanced at khushi and Ragini.

Ragini and khushi: we didn't divulge anything.

Malvika: Sanskar ate only what you liked. He kept you alive here when you were not their. It's his request that you eat properly.

Only one thing that washed her face guilt.

Swara had her food because it's her sanskars request. After they finished the food all were sitting silently in thoughts.

Swara: Please tell me Ragini what happened after i slipped in comma?

Ragini: As i said after that temple incidence when you went in comma jiju was with you all throughout. It was tough time because he was not ready to leave you but his health was detoriating. Maa requested rather we all took our turns to convince him we all knew the consequences. He was also aware but when asked for surgery he took promise that if any such situation arise like he has to be bed ridden. He would go away from everyone and none would stop him.

Swara: So...

Ragini: It was either his life or he living with them.

Khushi: That's when arjun, arnav and Jai put their foot down and said no family fine but they would be with him without any questions and expectations. Kunwar sa had to give up with their admancy.

Ragini: Only Lakshmi maa sa has permission to come here because jijusa feels she is strong enough to handle the situation. Even Rani maa sa has visited him but she breaks down seeing him in this condition. None of them is allowed to stay here.

Swara: What is it about euthanasia?

They all looked at her surprise how she knew about it.

Swara(understanding): I heard it in news that's the reason i ran from the airport. Luckily i found Malvika their because of whom i didn't do stupidity of going back or getting lost.

(Euthanasia- mercy killing or killing legally with poison. It's illegal in India but many foreign countries have this privilege and Belgium is one of them)

Malvika: It has it's hearing in court tomorrow and if petition comes in sir's favour then.....

Swara gasped at the thought

Swara: No, he can't do this to me and barbie. I want to talk to him.

Before swara can get down from bed they heard Arnav shouting. Everyone except Laksh rushed into Sanskar's room. Sanskar seemed unconscious without any moment but his breathing bwas erratic. Swara went near him his body was burning hot. Ragini gave her a stethoscope.

Swara: It seems as his lungs have fluid. We need to have a check up but looks like pneumonia.

She said putting him on oxygen and adjusting other machines around.

Ragini: (Closing eyes) He has a pneumonia prolapse.

Swara(shocked): He had it earlier too and the ice water that i poured caused prolapse right. Oh my God how stupid of me. I am such a fool.

Ragini: (hugging her in sitting position,): Di, we all know you won't hurt jijusa purposely don't worry I will personally monitor him tonight.

Swara(releasing from hug):  Rago please i want to be with him. Also, i want to see all his reports. Ragini nodded her head she showed her the section in wardrobe which had his reports filed up neatly.

Arnav knocked and entered the room tagged by Arjun and Laksh.

Swara: Barbie

Laksh: She is sleeping and jai is looking after her. How is bhai?

Ragini: He has pneumonia but would be confirm only after getting test reports. Right now he is having high fever swara would be here to take care of him.

Arjun: I would help you remove his t shirt.

Swara nodded.

Arnav: Me, Jai or Arjun one of us would be outside let us know if you need any help.

Swara: I think you all should go and sleep I am here and if i need any help i will call anyone of you.

Arjun got down removing sankars t shirt and covering him with comforter.

Laksh: Not an issue swara you can knock or call anyone of us. Servants for night shift are their just press the bell if you need anything.

Swara: Yes

Malvika: Actually  I would leave for home.

Ragini: Why, as it is you are alone today stay for tonight?

Malvika didn't wanted to lengthen this as it was quite late and everyone needed rest.

Malvika: It's too cold swara please change into something warm.

Swara looked at her dress and remembered in all the issues she forgot to change and was still in her night gown. She went to the room change and was coming back when she saw Arjun standing alone in the terrace and staring at the sky as if saying silent prayers.

Swara: Arjun

He just wiped his tears and turned towards her.

Arjun: Yes madam...

Swara: Don't hide i know how close you are to Sanskar.

Arjun: Please madam  (joining hands going on his knees)

Swara: Arjun (she stepped back it was hard to see him crying)

Ask him to change his decision of euthanasia. I could not say anything as we were all tied by sir's promise. He is struggling i know it's difficult for him but death is not the right thing. I won't be able to see him dying infront of my eyes. It breaks something inside me when he says how he plans his death to be. I...I.. he couldn't say anything further and just left from there.

Swara went into the room and sent everybody out and she got cold water with towels to wipe Sanskar's body. Her eyes watered looking at his state. She turned on a blower fan to lower his body temperature. Malvika was still in the room sitting on the couch.

Swara: Ragini ,said you are alone where is your son?

Malvika: My son is born with birth defect. Last time when Lakshmi rani sa came she requested me to send him to your native she will care for him. Sanskar and jai also made me understand today i was at airport to see him off. I just pray for his speedy recovery. I would also be going day after tomorrow.

He(she said pointing at sanskar) is the most close person to my baby. His superman uncle, i pray you could change his decision of mercy killing. He has taken care of me and my baby just as he would do for a family member. He paid for my kids complete treatment. Donation from his companies profit have benefited many lives. I just pray God bestows his mercy on such a good soul.

Malvika had become emotional she excused herself and left the room.

Swara felt helpless and unable to control she started crying hard holding his hands.

Sanskar had slight movements in his fingers therefore he felt her holding.

Sanskar: Swara

He was taking her name in unconsciousness. She hugged his body which was just like a rug bag no sensations passing in it.

Whole night she kept on taking care if him. It was at 4:00 am she heard knock on the door. She sleepily rubbing her eyes opened the door. Arjun and Jai stood on the door.

Swara: Don't you both have a life to live.

Arjun: How is sir now?

Swara: Fever has subsided but he might need a hospitalisation for complete recovery only reports tomorrow would confirm the plan of action.

Jai: Kuwrani sa you go to your room we are here till then.

She wanted to deny but Arjun and Jai insisted.

As swara went to her room. She felt as something was wrong but she brushed off her thoughts. She crashed on the bed as she was very sleepy.

She woke up very late next morning. It was almost afternoon. She was shaken when she got down after freshening up that sanskar left for court.  Even after continuous denial and persudance from everyone.

He warned not to inform about it to swara.

Swara: Malvika, please take me to the court.

They both left for the court. On the way she got call from Alwar that her father shekhar Raja sa passed away. She was shocked it's not that she loved that man but he was her father.

Malvika took swara towards Sanskar's lawyers chamber. She looked pale and drained she was feeling super restless. An unbearable pain shot in her chest but she still kept herself calm.

Advocate: I hope Mr Maheshwari you are happy with courts decision. You have been granted the permission for euthanasia.

Sanskar just said a thank you and turned to leave when swara came in front of him. He was shocked looking at her before she could say anything she just collapsed on him.

Sanskar: Swara...swara

Malvika with other's entered and helped to shift swara to the hospital. She was rushed into OT.

Sanskar sat in doctors cabin who was treating swara.

Doctor: I hope Mr Maheshwari you are ready for the surgery.

Sanskar: I just want to see swara and my daughter barbie the last time before surgery.

Doctor nodded in affirmation.

Swara was lying in the ICU with wire attached which monitored her condition.

Sanskar  was sitting infront of her while barbie was sleeping in a pram just next to swara's bed.

Sanskar: I have troubled you a lot not anymore. After this surgery you would live your life just like before. I would beat in you and every beat would remind you...

Malvika entered the room with Arjun

Malvika: I hope you are aware what you are going to do. You are going to snatch her breath and give beating heart.

Sanskar: No, I am giving her a beating heart which would help her breath and live her life to the fullest.

Arjun: We are trying I am sure we would get the donor soon. You don't have to do this.

Sanskar: I am trying since the day when I first got to know she has hole in her heart. It's from childhood that's the reason she had breathing issues. She was never cared and reached a situation when she went into unconsciousness time and again but got detected when for 4 days at a stretch she went into coma. After i got her back from saahil the day i knew the baby is safe but won't be if we don't find a donor. I was shattered and kept on trying how risky the pregnancy was for her but my swara was strong and got through.
But now if we delay we might loose her. Heart transplant is the only solution and that to at the earliest and I am the perfect match.
Now, as i have also received permission for euthanasia it's the perfect time. Surgery would be done tonight itself. I would donate my heart to her and live in her forever.

He glanced at swara with tears in his eyes.

Mere dil ka humesha tere dil se rabta hoga...

(My heart would forever have a relation with you)
