Hi guys.. Here you go the next update ...  Hope you won't be disappointed..

Two weeks  later ...

                   Swara and Sanskar were nervous as they drove Lavanya to her first day of school .In terms of education Lavanya has been learnt well enough for her age but school was an whole new dynamic ..

                  Swara was nervous because her daughter had  Higher IQ of 165  just like her  Sanskar had already talked to the head mistress and her class teacher making them aware of it . Yet making six years old in her class  understand will be difficult and swara wanted her daughter to have lots of new friends as well .

           In this two week Lavanya had opted to stay in Sanskar house some time so swara and Lavanya stayed in his house for few days   , It was an arrangement that worked ,it made her feel like they were an happy family .

             Yet she didn't have the courage to make an permanent  change . 

               Mean awhile Shekar Gadodia was trying to come up with an plan that would give his grand daughter back to him .He battled through death door to make it back and he would not accept swara raising his grand daughter ..

                 He had found out that Sanskar had withdrawn the divorce application and realize he had been played by him . And for him to succeed. He need to eliminate Sanskar from  swara life

          Separation will not work between them he realized. Because they were already behaving like an family from the photos he obtained from his detectives .

            It means he had to kill Sanskar before Shekar would have thought twice considering his uncle was his best friend but now he would love to wipe out the Maheshwari's  from earth . Yet he needed to make it into an perfect crime where everyone believes it to be an accident just like the ones he did before ..

                Two weeks passed by and Swara began to notice her daughter sad face . Since she joined school Lavanya didn't get to spend much time in Sanskar house except on weekend as he was working on an important case.

              Swara tried talking to her if she had any problems in school but the little girl refused to speak up .And she felt bad that her daughter is not opening up to her..

                She tried talking with her mom about it who asked swara to give her some time to adjust to school before panicking.. But Swara can't help but panic ..

                      The weekend even the promise of staying in Sanskar house didn't manage to bring an smile to her face , That had swara worried way too much ..

               Sanskar had been busy with an case .That he hardly got time to spend with swara and his daughter. He didn't want to be the type of father whose face the kids have hard time recollecting .

               So he was looking forward to the weekend and hoped to spend some quality time with his family . But his dream of an happy weekend got of to an rocky start when Lavanya didn't even greet him with her smile .And during dinner the girl barely said an word to him .

                   He knew swara noted it and he also knew she was receiving the same hostile treatment as well.

                If this happened right when they adopted her they might have thought it was because of her new surrounding but after she gotten so close to them ..It bothered him a lot and he decided he need to have an chat with swara .

                After tucking Lavanya in her bed .Swara went to see Sanskar in hopes he might have an better answer to her daughter withdrawal from them .

                   " May I come in Sanskar ?" She asked as she knocked at his door .He opened it and she went inside , She didn't want to wake up Lavanya so she kept her voice low and shared the change in her daughter after she started going to school .

             " We should speak with the teacher swara , Maybe she could enlighten us .If she was lonely in class or if she was troubled by someone " Sanskar suggested and swara decided it was worth giving it an try .

     Though her teacher's never understood her problem , she hoped Lavanya teacher will prove to be different

            So on Monday .Both Sanskar and swara drove Lavanya to school and decided to drop in for an chat with the teacher .Who was completely clueless as swara expected .But she denied Lavanya was alone or bullied in class vehemently .

            When Swara refused to believe she even let swara have an peek in the class without the children noticing and there was her daughter laughing and playing with her friends .

               While the teacher proved her point . Swara felt like she failed as an mother .Since Sanskar realized Lavanya was suffering he asked swara to stay with him during the weekdays as well   in an  hope  to find an answer to his daughter sadness .

            Two days passed by and both swara and Sanskar noticed Lavanya was back to being open to them . She smiled, hugged and was happy .Though they didn't understand the reason they were glad to have her back .Until the phone call .

          Sanskar was on court for the trial and Swara didn't want to distract him  when the life of his client hung in balance .As she raced to the school .Her mind kept replying the phone call ,Her daughter pushed someone down and the girl got hurt due to it .

                  Till now Lavanya hasn't exhibited any violence tendency and this one scared swara way too much .Her apology to the kids parents didn't quite go well as the teacher admitted Lavanya pushed the child down out of nowhere ..

                  Lavanya was suspended for an week and on the way back home ..Swara tried everything to make her daughter open up . It failed as well ..

               Swara wanted to understand her daughter .But she couldn't understand what could have caused her to behave the way she did today.

                 Sanskar drove back home in an happier mind set as he won the case and he was looking forward to spend some time with his princess..

                  He was terrified when he thought he lost her during the last week ..Instead of his princess greeting him .It was his wife who greeted him and one look at Swara, Sanskar knew something was wrong .

                    Swara didn't know how she managed to tell Sanskar everything without breaking down  ..But when he pulled her into an hug she couldn't keep the tears from falling down

             " I am terrible mother Sanskar , Maybe she got my violent tendency or maybe his .." She spoke up trying to voice out her fears .

     " She is a little girl ,something is bothering her , we will find it out ..We can move school or home school anything to make it alright .Trust me swara , our daughter will be fine " Sanskar assured her and having someone to rely on meant everything to swara ..

           They were both lost in the moment. They didn't notice a pair of legs reaching them . And only when an pair hands started to punch Sanskar legs did they become aware of their daughter presence .

                Swara panicked to see yet another display of violence from her daughter but it was Sanskar who lifted her up and held her gently till she calmed down .

         " What happened princess , What did I do wrong ?" He asked hoping he could find the answers that will let him help her..

           " You made mommy cry and I am not your princess  , soon you will find someone else to marry  and forget all about me " the little said  and broke up in sobs .

                 Neither of Lavanya parents could understand the reason behind her outburst .But at least they had her reason .

            " Who told you I am gonna leave my princess .." Sanskar asked trying to gather any information when he can .

              "  My Friend Gauri , She told me that if you both didn't stay in the same house then it would mean you are marrying someone else and you will get an new princess to play with .." The little girl spoke up and Swara realized she was the same girl Lavanya pushed today .

            " Is that why you pushed her down .." Swara asked

             " Yeah I told her , You are staying together but she told me .It didn't matter as long as you don't stay in the same room  .if I had two house then it means you both hate each other and you will marry someone else leaving me all alone .."  The little girl said and broke down

          
                   Swara and Sanskar didn't realize letting their daughter into the world would bring such truth to her .Neither did they imagine how much trouble it would cause either .

                Swara was glad Sanskar took on the job of explaining things to their daughter because she didn't think she could have done it ..It took some time but he managed to convince her so far ..

                And yet Swara knew her daughter fears won't be laid to rest till she find courage to make some changes in their life .

                Sanskar came outside after tucking his daughter back to bed ..

             " Her friend parents were divorced it seems " Sanskar spoke up ...

             " Yeah I thought so too .When I met them today ..it seemed like they were angry at their child for getting hurt and disturbing their lives then any real concern towards her " swara replied back ..

                " Nowadays even little kids knew everything ..Her parents should have made her aware they love her  inspite of everything ..And when they fail it does cause such an upheaval in their little minds .." He answered as he realized the extent his daughter must have suffered thinking she will be all alone ..

                " It my fault .I didn't think what us living separately would mean to her " Swara said and Sanskar insisted the blame falls on both of them for not noticing it before .

                 " Sanskar I think it would be better if we moved in ..." She said and waited for him to be happy about it instead his face fell a little ..

              " Don't you want us to move in " she asked

               " I wanted to ask you to move back Swara ..But I didn't because I wanted it to be your choice ..Now I don't how to react when you say it was for our daughter .." He answered back truthfully...

                 " I understand Sanskar .I honestly don't know how to move forward with us ..It easy to allow you to be Lavanya father but when it comes to us I don't know where to start ... " she answered back ..

              " Sorry  , Ofcourse you can move back ..And swara all you need is to take little steps at a time .. I am not going to demand you think of me as your husband from the moment you move back .. Let take it slow , one day at a time .." He answered back which brought an smile to her face ..

            Swara moved back to Sanskar House two days later .  Since he had another case in Court , Arjun and Laksh helped her with the move .

                    Swara apologized to Laksh for her thoughtless comment back when she met him whose face fell at the remainder making her feel bad for hurting him because she was hurt .. He said it was okay after a moment ..

       And when asked if he told ragini , At  his affirmative answer she felt bit of guilt for hurting Ragini .. But Laksh said she was fine as well ..

                 Swara knew she was not taking an step forward in her relationship with Sanskar .. So she decided to prove to him, she really wants to give their relationship an chance ..so instead of the guest room ..

          She moved into his room ..And it was not an little step but an bigger one in terms of their relationship.

           Sanskar was plenty surprised to find Swara belonging in his room .He thoughts she moved it here to prevent Laksh or Arjun from knowing they don't share a bed ..

            He was about to move her stuff to the guest room when she entered the room  .

             " What are you doing Sanskar ?" She asked ..

           " Moving your stuff to the guest room " he answered back ..

            " No leave it , I am staying here from now onwards and I am not doing it because of Lavanya.. I am doing it for us .." She answered back .

              " It not an little step Swara ..It an huge move..I am not someone who  would give important to physical intimacy when you are not ready .When I asked you to take little step ..I didn't mean this one " he answered back clearly worried he acted like an idiot to her .. Given her past it was no wonder she jumped to the wrong conclusion .

          When they consummated their marriage , he wanted Swara to want it,  not bear it as an part of married life ..   She looked at him with an smile on her face at his troubled expression and decided she better speak up ..

            " Sanskar look at me . I love you .If that isn't an big step then I don't know what else is . I have my deeper scars .Physical intimacy scares me still .But I don't want to run away either not from you and not from the possibility of us  " she said leaving Sanskar shocked at her confession ..

           " Say something " her voice spoke up at his silence .

           He didn't say anything as he walked towards her and gently cupped her face and leaned in for an kiss .It was gentle and the same time filled with hope for the future .The kiss lasted for only an minute and swara was disappointed but then he spoke up

 
         " We will take it slow swara  ..I think an kiss should be enough for today or maybe one more .. " .  he said and leaned in to capture her lips once again leaving her breathless but her heart  broke a little to know he hadnt said the words back to her ..

           But her disappointment lasted only a minute .As Sanskar  gently lifted her face to meet his and uttered the words she longed to hear ." I Love You too Shona " ....
