One month later .

           Swara stood in front of the hotel with apprehension that she couldn't voice out to anyone . It felt like she was making one mistake after another in search of someone . When Swara got the message from her father in law ,she knew he had the one thing that might make her break . She starred at her daughter picture even now before entering the hotel .

Two days after she left Sanskar. Shekhar Gadodia had sent her the picture of her , A nameless face for sure but swara knew it in her heart it belonged to her daughter. Then came the demands one by one .

Each demand was made never to harm her but make an fool of her . The first time he asked her to wait on a park for over five hours and at the end of the five hours, he sent a location with the next day location. She knew he was having his revenge and yet she didnt know what else to do then do as he says. 

Every day after she would wait in the place he asked her too but after hours of waiting .A single message would come stating the tomorrow location . Sometime the places would make her uncomfortable like a club and parties he asked her crash without invite.  Some places where he would ask her to visit close to midnight that had raised a few questioning glance from her mom and she would struggle to come up with an excuse.

It has been thirty days of wait .Each day swara wanted to stop doing exactly as he wants but she didn't do it because at the end of the day , She will get a picture of her daughter at the end of the day if she followed his orders.

So she went to get on more glimpse of the daughter she thought was dead .She was outraged by Shekhar Gadodia betrayal but still she did everything he said and they both knew he was only playing with her and has no intention of ever giving the location of her daughter .

Yet Swara went because she didn't want to make him angry . But today the destination was different from others .Not an public place like the ones before but an hotel and she was scared because she believed he may finally cross a line today .

Shekhar Gadodia was playing her like an puppet and she was acting like one .But she didn't know what else to do , filing a police complaint to find her daughter who is presumed dead will not get her any results considering the reach Shekhar Gadodia has her daughter might really disappear if case was filed against him .

When she entered the hotel , The receptionist gave her an room key and an letter.The letter stated her child was in the room .Swara should have thought twice before rushing towards the room but she didn't and so she wasn't surprised that the door locked from outside the moment she stepped inside . 

But she was surprised to find an half naked man in the bed and she was alarmed enough to scream but before she could raise her voice .Her phone rang .

" What are you doing now ? " she demanded as her voice raised in fear at the stranger in the room .

" Don't you want to see your daughter? ." Shekhar asked.

" Yes , But I never thought you will fall so cheap . " she lashed out as she kept banging at the door .

" Had he even looked in your direction . He didn't right .I haven't fallen that cheap and though I know this is all an act of being innocent for you , I know you and still I will not fall that low .

Listen carefully,  If you want to see your child .All you need to do is stay in the room for 15 minutes and then leave .I assure the guy in there will not come near you .But even if you kept knocking no one will come , so do not try anything .Stay quiet for 15 and leave then you can see your daughter ,this is the last I promise .." With that the call ended  Swara tried calling him back ,he didn't answer .

She was about to call Sanskar .But the phone was snatched away from her hand and in one move it was thrown out of the window and she was trapped . She tried shouting but no one answered .

In her mind ,she didn't know what she was gonna do ,she didn't know what shekhar Gadodia was planning this time .Just then the guy spoke up .

" Stop banging at the door ,All room in this floor is booked by your father in law .There is no one in this floor except us . Look I am not going to harm you or touch you ,You can leave in fifteen minute.So stop banging the door .No help will come for you .." He said .

" Why are you doing this.." Swara asked .

" I am not even sure why I am doing it .When your father in law called me to his office an month ago I thought i was finally going to get an chance to act in an film ,Instead I am here .But he paid me well .I am not gonna say no to Money I desperately need.." He said .And swara knew he was as clueless as she was ,She didn't know what shekhar could possibly have planned for her .

Mean awhile Sanskar was having an horrible day .Well an horrible month , He did promise to let her go when she wanted but still why was it so hard on him .She hasn't called or texted once in this thirty day .

And his day got much worse when Kavita stepped inside his office room again .Normally he would have shouted at her ,screamed at her . But ever since he had fallen in love again ,he barely have time to mend his heart that was broken by swara .

So he didn't have it in him to short or scream at kavita right now. All he wants from her was to leave him alone .

" We can do this all our life time Kavita, but my decision will remain the same .Try to move on , Just like I did " Sanskar spoke calmly to her for once .

" If you meant you moved on to Swara ,then I have to say you did far worse than me. At least I wasn't married to you when I cheated on you .I would have taken my marriage vows bit seriously than your swara ." Kavita spoke up trying and waiting for Sanskar to take the bait .

" I loved you once for a longtime and that why I am trying to be civil with you. But if you come here and talk about Swara than you won't like to see my other side ." He said angry at Swara for leaving him , Furious at kavita for not leaving him .

" Really , I don't know what story she spin to you , because while you were mourning the break up she was having the time of her life .

      But do you think for all her act of innocence she would become friends with the ones who testified against her in court if she was all innocent  " Kavita spoke up hoping he would ask her more questions

" What do you mean?" Sanskar asked finally taking the bait .

" I had your perfect swara followed" And she threw the picture towards Sanskar bench .Who picked them up to see glimpse of swara he deprived off for so long .

       The picture has his Swara all right but the places were not where he imagined she would go on her own ,the club and the parties picture made him wonder what was going on her life but not enough to make him doubt her because she was alone in the all the pictures .

" Swara is not you , And if you think the pictures will make me doubt her ,you are wrong . She may went to the club's just like you but she wouldn't cheat on me like you .Now leave " he said all the awhile wondering if Swara was in any trouble.

" I know you would say that. That why I never approached you till today until I have more proof  .Won't to know the picture I got an hour ago .It was your innocent wife in an hotel room with someone else ." Kavita mocked at him making him angry .

" This won't work Kavita , I am not going to doubt my wife because you said so .." He finally replied back even when his heart was wondering what swara has gotten into or if she was in trouble .

" Then you can see for yourself , They are in Room 501 at Park Hotel .How innocent you wife is " with that parting shot Kavita left hoping Sanskar fall for it .

Sanskar didn't want to give Kavita doubts any meaning but in the last picture kavita shown. He had seen swara face waiting in the hotel loppy where she  was nervous and worried like he never seen her before . He checked his phone once to see if she called him and she didn't .

Yet he was worried for her .That why he drove to the hotel hoping swara was not harmed . As Sanskar car left the premise .Kavita called Shekhar to know their plan succeeded for now .

Fifteen minute later , Sanskar was marching up to the room 501 .The door had do not disturb signal .And at his knock it opened to reveal the guy in the picture half naked .

Sanskar eyes never left swara who was standing at the other side of the room .He didn't think twice before marching towards her and engulfing her in an hug wanting to reassure himself she was fine .

" Are you okay , What happened Swara .You are not hurt are you .Tell me please. " he pleaded not wanting to believe she was hurt by any means.

" Wow , You sure a managed to find yourself an gullible husband this time swara, who trusts you even when you spent the day with me ." The voice came from the guy who didn't quite finish his sentence before Sanskar punched him and he fell on the floor clutching his bloodied nose .

" Leave right now .If you want your limbs to stay intact ." Sanskar warned which had the guy running out like he was being chased by an monster .

" Swara what happened .." Sanskar asked after few minute of silence in that room .

" I am sorry Sanskar , I never wanted you to be hurt , that why I left you ." She spoke up the first sentence she uttered that made his heart break a little.

" You expect me to believe this ." he asked as he gestured towards the bed and her .

" Believe what you want but it the truth ." She lied for the first time and broke his heart . He didn't say a word as he walked away from her .

        The moment he left Swara raced to the bed and took the phone the stranger left for her. There the Message that she lied and broke Sanskar heart waited for her

       The parking lot and the car number , As she ran to the parking lot .She realized what she sacrificed for only glimpses of her daughter .Just when she reached the car raced ahead of her .Leaving her with just an glimpse of her daughter from the window clutching her teddy bear .

       She raced after the car but her human speed wasn't enough .The car passed by her with her daughter inside.Then the phone in her hand rang

         " Why are you doing this to me , I lied to Sanskar as you said ." She screamed at shekar as she remembered the phone call from shekar fifteen minutes ago .

              The stranger in the room handed his phone to her .And she answered

           " It been fifteen minutes let me go now " swara said for which shekar simply laughed .

             " Do you want to see your daughter she is right now in your hotel ,if you didn't believe me check the photo I sent to this Number " he said and swara knew he was planning something big ..

            " What do i have to do ?" She asked dreading herself for willing to do anything for her daughter ..

             " In five minutes, your husband will come to your room and you have to make him believe that you were unfaithful to him .I prepared the scene all you have to do is remain silent and let him come to his conclusion. And if you denied the accusations .The car will leave and you will never see your daughter ever again .Also there is an camera in this room , so dont even think of giving him any hint ." He said and swara at the moment she thought she couldn't hurt Sanskar like that .

             But then she saw her daughter picture he sent and she wavered , she can tell him the truth afterwards right , she convinced herself and lied hurting him ,now as the car raced away from her , she felt all alone .

   " You killed my son and atleast your daughter is alive and well .If you ever tried to tell Sanskar the truth , Your daughter might lose the present shelter and food she has  provided by me graciously even when you betrayed me and my son .

            Just like I live without my son .You will live without your daughter Never been able to see her .." With that the call ended and Shekar had his revenge .

       Of showing the one person she wanted the most and snatching it away .And she couldn't even fight him as her biggest support Sanskar Maheshwari was no longer by her side.
