Swara's pov:-

"What should I do now? Pour sugar or not? Ah..let him drink something edible so sugar is best..I don't know how on earth he is managing to drink that sugarless yuck black tea" I poured enough sugar to the boiling water on the stove and seriously I want to see my face in mirror now..thinking why? to tell you how my facial expressions went thinking about sugarless yuck black tea *wink*

"Swara.." I heard baba shouting my name.. He asked me to get a cup of tea for sanskar who just arrived.. Oh no! He is calling again..is it my fault if water isn't boiling fast?

Thank God! Atlast I poured tea into mug and made my way to balcony, where sanskar & baba are talking..

"Good afternoon sanskar" I greeted him forwarding tea mug, he smiled and greeted back with a shot smile..

I too sat beside them and you know their topic? Business! It's ok I can manage as I'm gonna join my baba after my studies.. Arrey wait! Why my baba is talking with great difficulty? Other days he talks more actively when someone opens business topic..but today is different, he is like avoiding eye contact with us as if he is hiding something..

Oh did I mentioned that he is fully recovered now? So he is fine to much of my happiness..

"Baba aren't you feeling well?" I asked him while checking his temperature by keeping my hand on his forehead.. It is cool, he don't have temperature then?

"I'm fine..bas little headache.. You guys continue talking, I will fall on bed for sometime" he got up directly from chair as if I gave him excuse to get up..he walked with great speed confusing me..oh maybe I'm over thinking.. I shrugged and smiled at already smiling sanskar..

"So ?" I looked at him at his question..

"I came here because I was bored sitting in office" he made faces as he expected me to understand his so..pagal monster!

"Oh ! I should add this to my knowledge that monsters too get bored" I mocked at him while he threw daggers at me making me grin..

"Little squirrel!" He gritted his teeth making my grin go wider ..

He stood up from his chair and walked to me..what should I do now? Run? ..yes good idea...I got up from my seat and ran towards my room..thank God! We both are sitting at distance..

I gasped reaching my room and jumped on my bed making it bounce.. Arrey! How fool I am? What I thought that he can't come here? I pouted seeing him standing leaning to the door displaying a smirk on his face..

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
"& this is how I completed my 18 years on this hell sanskar"
I turned back leaving a hold on Window railings.. He is standing there emotionless staring me with those deep eyes..I wiped my tears and smiled at him..

Yes! I narrated whole my life story with him and I feel light now..I swear even my baba knows everything about me but I narrated something more than what I should have let him know.. Don't know why I felt like saying every little bit of things with him..as I moved on saying, his eyes encouraged me to disclose myself wholly in front of him..& I did..I'm too small even to understand whether I did crap by uttering everything with him..

It seemed like he gulped his saliva & I waited for him to talk..

He just untugged his hands from his pocket and without even uttering a little single word I thought he left my room but..

But I was wrong in assuming things because instead of leaving he just hugged me tight wrapping me inside his broad chest.. I simply hugged him back while lone tear fall on his shoulder making him to tighten his grip on me..

Little later he himself broke the hug, kissed my forehead and murmured softly "see you won against all odds.. I feel proud of you"

I looked into those deep eyes trying to figure out his real words than what I heard in reel..

"But still you can't stop like this..you have to fight more to get justice... This time you are not alone" he assured me pressing his hand on mine while I just kept on staring him..

"Didi...." I heard ansh shouting my name followed by the door opening sound..

He jerked there on the doorstep looking at us..it seems like he came here running.."what anchu? Why you were shouting my name?" I walked towards him and caressed him head..

"Bhayya you too are here.." He ignored my question & his eyes looked like gaining confidence.. What kind of act is this?

"Sit here" ansh pulled me as well as sanskar to sit on bed, his words are cold and his eyes went blank.. Seriously I'm not getting anything..

"GADODIYA COMPANY IS NO MORE!" His words took long to get into my head, I almost repeated it four to five times to realize what he meant..

"What the hell?" I fired at him unable to digest his words, moreover I didn't believed in his words..

"They are changing it's interiors and exteriors to make it karma group of industries" ansh said as if it is really cool...sanskar too didn't looked shocked instead he managed his emotionless face yet again..

"Janaki forgeried Baba's sign and sold it " he is continuing his talks as if it doesn't related to him..

"Baba got heart attack when he got to know this" now he looked at me and I'm not in a state to react..I am all numb, I felt my heart shrinking..

Suddenly I am pulled into a bone crashing hug and even I found ansh next to me..
▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

"Where is janaki?" I shouted her name with all my might.

"Swara cool down... She will return anyways..for now don't create havoc as you know how much weak your baba is now... & don't worry about loosing your company, I will handle it" he said softly and I sat beside him clutching his pant & thigh , he kept his hand over mine..

"I called Raj and he explained things to me..& within half an hour your company will be back in your hands" sanskar's face is determined & I trust him fully..

We sat there itself, Sanskar pulled my head into his lap and I slept there shrinking my arms bit in...

Half an hour later, laksh & Raj uncle, Baba's PA came with files.. Along with them two men are also stepped in...I immediately got up from his lap and stood up..he too stood up and greeted them..he signalled me to go in and I don't know what happened after that..

~~~~

I was sitting in my room when ansh came & dragged me out, I literally ran with him to match his fast steps...

As I reached downstairs I found baba sitting there with files scattered all around him and he is smiling in tears... I don't know what they have done but little did I got to know is that our company is back in our hand.. I looked at sanskar thankfully & seriously I felt like pecking his cheeks..

Aww! I love him for being a reason behind my Baba's smile which is even now plastered on his face.. & he just did it within three damn hours and still I can't believe!

I'm sure they would have payed quarter more money while getting those back from karma's..

"You shouldn't have kept it within yourself baba" I sat beside him and side hugged..

"You suffered in this hell princess and I didn't wanted to make you cry more"

"So you thought of killing yourself and yet again to push me into that deep pit of hell" I tried controlling my tears and you see I succeeded.. All credits to him!

"I never thought that ....& princess let's forget about it ,I don't want to think about it again" he kissed my forehead and I hugged him..

It's 9pm by now!

I helped aunty (ragini's mother) to set our dinner and we all are silently, & this silence isn't awkward like always instead it is meaningful...

When I was about to get up from chair, being done with my food ,I saw laksh came with some papers..I looked at him confused, even baba & ansh looked confused.. Ah! My eyes cooled because they too don't know the matter....

But sanskar is having his food without any expressions, not even confused & now I'm sure it's something to do with him..

Laksh smiled at me and I smiled back, later I shrugged and went near sink to clean my hands..

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

I placed a tray full of ice cream bowls on tepoy ..I served them all and took one for myself.. Black current ice cream, my favorite😍

"What about janaki?" Sanskar asked suddenly making everyone look at him confused..

"She isn't my wife" shekar smiled shortly...

"Not even my mother" ansh beamed with joy as if he got another bowl of ice cream..

"Then why to give her place to stay here?" Sanskar asked meaningfully..

All remained silent..

"She has nowhere to go" I whispered slowly ....like seriously I'm taking her side?

"Let her lay on street" sanskars voice is much venom filled...

"Yes baba...I want you to divorce her..I don't ever want to see her face again... If you are okay then even I'm ready to murder her" ansh spoke letting out a bitter sigh while my eyes widened hearing 'murder '...is it very easy to commit murder then?

"Chup ansh... Kuch bhi bolta hei.." I kept hand over his mouth..

"Why God gave golden heart to you? Uh! After doing that much with you also you are taking her side.. Seriously didu like seriously... Uh! She don't even deserve dog's name didu" ansh looked at me while I stared at him blank...

"Let's put initiative of her punishment then...uncle these are divorce papers just sign here" sanskar unrolled paper and displayed it on tepoy, he even forwarded pen to sign... Baba looked at me, then at ansh.. We both are shocked by this sudden move,..

I saw baba closing his eyes, he chanted something secretly, wiped his unshed tears and signed on divorce papers...freeing himself and us from the jail..

Ansh took those signed papers from tepoy & ran grabbing a pen with him..we looked at each other and followed him..

He banged continuously on janaki's door and she had to open..

"Hey janaki! Please sign here" he said as soon as she opened the door, carrying a smirk on his face..

"W-wha-t is thi-ss?" She took quick glance of all of us and pretended to be confused..

Okay okay.. I don't know whether she is confused in real or acting.. But whatever it is ,it is acting only infront of me...

"Our freedom papers" ansh pricked thorn directly from his heart to her skin..she is looking as if she is very innocent and can't understand what we people are talking uh? I should have joined her to some film industry then... What? Noo...there too she will be a curse & I don't want anyone to suffer because of her (sarcasm)

"Sign it dammit" baba shouted & his voice echoed five to six times as if he is repeating those, infact his voice was so sharp and trust me I never knew that baba can shout too...hahaah! She brought a worst out of him while every girls' in man's life play a role to bring out best in them!

"She never fulfilled your desire baba, she never had been a reason for your smile baba, she never made you happy by her any act baba.. Instead what she did? (Laughing sarcastically) she..she tried to snatch that smile forever from you... She tried to separate your body from your soul (by separating Swara from him) she tried every way to kill you alive baba" everyone are so deeply inside these words and we turned towards source of this voice, even though it's familiar we weren't in the state to recognize..

& it is ragini, my soul sister who knows every bitterness of my dear life..yes,she is referring baba as her baba..why won't she ? One thing her baba is no more on this earth and Baba's brother is nearly equal to baba itself & second thing, my baba never saw her differentially.. In fact after they started living here, I mean in these one week, he never showed partiality between us.. He treated her like his own daughter and even he said now he have two daughters- Swara & ragini..

Baba looked at ragini once & glared janaki, by which she trembled & tried saying something but baba stopped " I don't want that devilish voice to be heard again " now she had no alternative, she tried explaining but she didn't realised that time has already been expired..

With shaky hands she signed on the papers..
