Sanskar Maheshwari had an busy day, First it was the news of his uncle arrest followed by an shocking revelation from his girlfriend. He barely had time to collect his thoughts. He acted and reacted like what is expected of him. A concerned nephew, a supportive boyfriend. He promised Kavita nothing wrong would befall her father today. He very well can't promise more than today given the fact her father was the one who killed his parents.

It has been an busy day and it was only towards the evening his uncle was released on bail. The news and arrest had managed to cause a huge drop in their share prices. A fact Sanskar expected before hand , But things were still in his uncle control as he expected . Just one such strike won't take him down.

But the big question Sanskaar had to face was how much his uncle was involved in Kavita death. He felt his thoughts could get organized if he had penned it down. So he took a paper and began scribbling down ,then he read it again .

" Case 1: Mr Agarwal killed Kavita because he found out she was his daughter. And his uncle had no role in her supposed death."

"Case 2: Kavita dad followed his uncle order and killed Kavita totally unaware of the fact, She was his daughter."

" Case 3: He followed his uncle order and killed Kavita even though he knew she was his daughter.."

Just three likely scenario. But Sanskar can't know what actually happened. He got his memories from the future , Just his memories. He didn't have Kavita's memory. If he had maybe he would know if she ever told her father about her.

He definitely would like to have the memories of his uncle to just understand the extent of his involvement. But no Sanskaar had no clue as of now. Kavita murder happened in the other time line and he can never find what exactly happened given the fact he will change her past. But he needed to know why she was killed so that he can save her.

Sanskar tried to recollect every fact that he ignored back in the future ,and stumbled upon one such instance. The money was transferred around 2 PM before the fateful day and Laksh promised him that he only told his father later that night so they could attend his wedding.

He always thought Laksh lied but now he began to wonder if he didn't, He blamed Laksh for telling his uncle and now he wondered if his uncle found about it before than he anticipated. He also remember the last phone call he had with Kavita in the future , She was excited beyond excited about her wedding. She kept saying there was an surprise for him.

He always thought it was an gift but now he had to worry what her surprises was all about , Was his uncle entirely blameless regarding her death . Did he blame an innocent man. The mere thought brought him an migraine , But then there was his parents death.

He can't find more evidence regarding Kavita death, But he can find more about his parents death. He needs to find more. He need to find the reason why his parents were killed. And it was pretty late but there was an sharp knock to his door that brought him out of his thoughts.

He looked at the paper in his hand. He quickly tucked it away in his pocket and opened the door to find his uncle staring at him. He asked to talk with sanskar, And sanskar reluctantly agreed. The room was filled with silence until his uncle decided to speak up.

"You despise me now right Sanskar, " his uncle asked.

"Now don't look at me like that lucky probably thinks I am innocent. My wife would claim I am innocent even if she knew I am not. But I know you neither believe my innocence nor accept my sins, " he continued talking further when Sanskar remained silent

Sanskar was left speechless at his uncle statement. He didn't expect his uncle to accept his sins. It kind of left him in an shock that he didn't know how to react towards the statement , But his uncle understood his silence. And he continued talking revealing more about the man he grew up to adore only to turn that adoration into hate after his betrayal

"You are like Ram, When he first found out he refused to work in our firm. Unless I change my ways he demanded . I wanted to but then he died in that accident and it was easier to fall back to the old ways, " his uncle finished lamely .

"I want to change sanskar , But it too late for me. I know you will be able to make it right. I trust you, The only relief I have right now is you. Make it right Sanskar not for me but for Ram. He would want that ,you are still young and so I will hold on the fort for a little longer until you take over ," With the last sentence he walked away leaving Sanskar more confused then ever.

The man who talked to him tonight, Who was filled with remorse for falling short. Can't very well be the man who could have killed his brother and yet talk so fondly of him. Either his uncle was innocent or he was an very good liar. And Sanskar spent a restless night a sleep eluded him .

The next day Sanskar woke up with new found motivation. His father wanted to make this company succeed and Sanskar will change it to an company like his father dreamed. He couldn't save his father but he will at least fulfill his wish.

And his revenge had to wait until he learns who killed his parents. His uncle or Kavita dad. Sanskar can't blame Kavita for his father actions. Yet the fact was the truth. His dad died at the hands of hers. It didn't change his care towards her. It just meant he need to protect her from her own father.

And that was why Sanskaar was shocked to learn Kavita intention of getting in touch with her father the next day .

He tried to persuade her against it, But she was adamant. She didn't want to live in the what if and the only thing that made her stop was the fact his uncle was his best friend.

" We need to tell my uncle about us. And we decided to tell him after you graduate. And if you told your dad now. He will definitely share it with his best friend. So wait till you graduate" He declared hoping it would be enough and it was as Kavita nodded her head and told him she will wait.

That meant his break up plans got to wait. If he broke up with her then there is nothing stopping her from walking into her death trap.

But then came his next struggle of the day, His Shona, And she was walking towards them. She usually runs ten miles away from him. She reached them in quick steps, "We need to talk ," was all she said looking at him

Kavita looked at both of them, Bit confused but gave them the privacy and walked back to her class.

" It dida birthday today and she wanted me to invite you personally ,I already asked kavita, " Swara stumbled through the words ,she didn't want to invite him ,but dida was insistent and since it being her birthday ,Swara found herself agreeing to do so .

But that wasn't the reason she asked to talk to him alone . She had been rude by avoiding him whenever he visits Kavita , she knew his actions were friendly and she need to overcome her anxiousness to be around him .

" I also wanted to apologize for the incident at hospital ,I am not someone who leans on Anyone for comfort and what I did that day I regret if it made you feel uncomfortable around me ,you need not Come if you still felt awkward around me, " Swara spoke up, and let herself breathe , it felt good to speak her mind .

" Shona. I will be there, " Sanskar replied back ,he wanted to say so much more but he didn't have the words to explain how he felt when she was apologizing for crying in front of him . He understood her avoidance and so stayed away not realizing she felt the same .

Sanskar knew seeing Swara often was confusing to his heart ,the memories of them taunts him every time he looks at her and yet he knew he would go to dida party because in a way they were his family .
Swara walked back home filled with thoughts of her friend's boyfriend. She hates herself for feeling awkward around him ,He was her friend boyfriend. But every minute she spend with him. She feels like he knows her better than anyone.

The way he glances at her thinking no one noticed they were more to it than that meet the eyes .The way he calls her Shona like he has been calling her by that name for so long. The way he knew everything about her. It all so confusing to her.

He was always there when she needs someone but why did it have to be him. Then they are million things that confuse her more like how he knows her address when she never mentioned it, like how he knows her favourite ice cream and orders it even without asking. That all bothers her so much. It feel like he knows everything about her.

At first she thought her mind was making it up. She still thinks she is going crazy. And that why she needs to stay away from him after the party , Because that was the only way she can avoid the unimaginable pull he had towards her. If she kept avoiding him everything would fall into his place or so she thought. Not realizing things will get more complicated the very same day..

She reached home and was busy trying to decorate the house for the dida birthday party , When laksh called stating his cousin was in an accident. Her pretenses of avoiding him vanished at the news.

She raced to the hospital after informing her dida and mom , Kavita was already present being his girlfriend . Sanskar whole family was outside the hospital as well.

It was only after few hours the doctors declared he was safe. Everyone breathed sigh of relief including her .

But it only lasted for an second because the next second the doctor declared one sentence that kind of left Swara more confused than ever.

" He Is fine, Just a fractured leg. And few small injuries to his head but he needs to stay under observation for the next 24 Hours, You can all see him one at a time. I suggest the person Shona should go first because he did keep calling her name, " The doctor statement not only confused Swara but also made Kavita and Laksh look at her with pure confusion. Waiting for her to explain Sanskar actions.

She had no answers to their questioning glances . Because she had no clue why Sanskar called her name. But laksh insisted she go first ,so she went inside .

He was still sedated and his words were bit of an blur. She didn't know she was in tears to see him. Until his voice spoke up.

" Don't Cry Shona.. We both know I deserve it , Please my dear wife stop crying, " he said leaving Swara more shocked at his statement.

Wife , Was he imagining her life with him. Even when he had an girlfriend. That seems impossible.

Swara finally was not confused anymore, She knew whatever the pull she felt towards him was happening to him as well. His actions, his concern finally make sense. But she won't hurt Kavita. Kavita doesn't deserve the betrayal. She will stay away from them. And she did for the next one month.

It was another regular day in college or so she thoughts until she met Kavita. She was crying and Swara couldn't walk away. And Swara was shocked to find out Sanskaar broke up with her.

She should have been happy but she wasn't. Because seeing her friend in tears made her feel guilty for getting between them. She decided to help them. And someone should have warned Swara before that her plans will backfire , But no one did. And that was how she ended up in the hospital again facing the wrath of Sanskar.
