Chapter 3 : " The Cousin"


Hi guys , Updating fast now means ,you might have to wait for awhile later . Hope you understand


Two days later .

Swara woke up with another nightmare , She believed the nightmare were an thing of the past . Apparently not . There were so much blood and she subconsciously began to run her fingers over her neck still hoping to find the scars .

Then she took in her surroundings. And the past two days knowledge came crashing down . Her house well technically it was her mother husband house . Swara and her mom moved into his house after their marriage . Swara didn't offer to pay up rent and offend her mom , so she remained in her house .But she was saving up to buy her own small flat . With her income it may happen in next ten years . But she knew she has all the time in the world .

And to find that house torn apart made her scared . Living in constant fear was not new to her. She had tons of experience with it .But she was not scared for a sometime .Ever since she found her knight in shining armour .

Even now she was staying at his house .Well flat to be precise. That fateful night she was glad for his support .And she was further glad to have Sanskar Maheshwari by her side when the police came for questioning .

Sanskar answered most of the questions which left Swara hidden from the penetrating Stares of the police , but when the topic of who might hold an grudge towards swara came forward . Sanskar had only one name to offer Sahil . Because that all he knew and since Swara wanted to hide her past more than anything from sanskar took it upon herself to talk privately to the police regarding her past . She told them her past briefly and mentioned those who might hate her enough to do it .

When the police left with an warning to be cautious and an promise that they will check all the names in the list .Both Sanskar and Arjun knew Swara had more than one enemy .

Since Sanskar already promised never to ask swara about his past , he was helpless to question her further . Both Arjun and Sanskar asked her to stay with them instead of alone . While Swara insisted she can stay with Nisha . Sanskar dismissed the idea saying Nisha and her grandmother isn't enough of an protection

Swara didn't really want to stay with Sanskar. So she agreed to stay with Arjun and his wife only for Arjun to take back the invite with few excuse as he didn't want to aggravate his boss .

And so with no choice left , Swara moved into Sanskar house .And it has been two days of staying together. Sanskar wasn't much of an cook , so they ordered pizza the first night .Swara cooked breakfast as an gesture of thanks .

They didn't talk much with each other .Swara preferred it , Sanskar realizing she needed distance didn't step into her personal space often .All was going well few more days than she can go back to her home.

She was busy in her wandering thought's. The knock to her bed room didn't register for a few minutes. Then fear kicked in ,she tried to find the knife that was usually placed by her bed side drawer in the past , then when Sanskar voice with concern asking if she is okay .Reality crashed in .She might have screamed in her nightmare .Her mom and uncle didn't want to hurt her so they never mention it , but she knew she had screamed when the nightmare occurs .

" I am fine Sanskar , Just an nightmare " she assured him but he insisted that she let him see her first as he was worried someone might be inside her room .So she opened the door to find him standing with an knife in hand.

He must have been really terrified ,The door looked bit banged in , he was trying to break the door it seems .

" See , I am fine , Just an nightmare .Go back to sleep Sanskar.." She spoke up and after giving one through glance inside her room for mysterious villain .Sanskar left her alone

She knew he would have hundred of questions but he can't ask them .Swara was glad for the contract that offered her safety from her hidden past.

The next day , Swara was cooking breakfast when the calling bell rang .Without thinking that it was house , she went and opened the door only to find an gorgeous woman of her age standing before her .But her face contorted into an anger which made her look less prettier than before and only little later she realized the anger was directed towards her .

Before Swara could speak up , Sanskar voice rang out .. He looked like he ran from the shower .He only had an towel around his waist . And then he came and stood beside her ." I told you not to open the door without me present .." He said and swara realized he ran out of shower for her because he was worried about her .

While Swara looked at him with gratitude another pair of eyes looked at him unadulterated lust .Swara gets it .He looked so sexy and if swara had not sworn of man , She might have shared her admiration as well .well she does feel it but she is not an fool to show it

Then he turned around to see their guest , And his face reflected pure hatred that swara was shocked beyond words .

" What are you doing here ?" He asked rudely towards their guest

" You answer me first who is she ?. I didn't believe when dad said you moved on , It doesn't make sense .." Their guest lashed out .

" Whom I am with and spend the night is none of your business " Sanskar lashed back ..

" You honestly expect me to believe you slept with her when you had no qualms to refuse me while I throwed myself at you .." Their guest spoke up making swara feel shabbier compared to her . It was because of that she didn't mind when Sanskar wrapped his arms around her.

" If you had your share of drama , I suggest you leave . I told you two years ago and I repeat again .I never want to see your face again .." And with that Sanskar slammed the door on her face leaving swara shocked.

When he turned around her all he had was an face which said Swara is not permitted to ask any questions .

" My Past is mine , Yours is yours .I won't ask any questions" with that statement swara went back to kitchen to finish cooking .

They shared a silent meal .And while Sanskar drove back Swara to work , She didn't realize her past would come calling at her .

When Sanskar was greeted with the news of his cousin in cabin , He asked Swara to bring juice to his cabin and left . Swara knew it must be the cousin for whom he got married . But she never realized it must be Lakshya Maheshwari staring at her at the other side of the door .

Sanskar Maheshwari had seen several face of his cousin , so he know them and it was because of that he knew it was his guilt face that greeted swara .And while swara did seem shocked to see laksh at first. She broke into an smile an minute later .

" Wow you are Sanskar cousin, I mean my boss cousin .I didn't know that .I worked here for two years and I never once met you .." She greeted him with an warm smile .

" We don't get along well " Laksh lied and smiled sheepishly

"Liar.. " Swara smiled at Laksh and then froze when her eyes landed on the wedding invites placed on Sanskar table .

" Laksh wanted my help in picking his wedding card , He is getting married .." Sanskar explained while laksh looked like he was about to run out of the room .

" Congrats Laksh " Swara said and Sanskar was pleased that she didn't seem like she held an notion about laksh as her other half .Since he can't ask he had to look in carefully for clues regarding swara past with laksh . He gave swara one of the sample invites while Laksh moved from his chair in an futile attempt to snatch it back .

Swara glanced at the invite happily then her face turned cold , Sanskar never seen such blankness in an face before , slowly she turned back to laksh and gave him an smile that was no way warm .

" Tell Ragini I said Congrats and ask her to name your first child after me if it is a girl.." With that parting shot to laksh she left the cabin .

" Don't ask me any thing bhai " it was from his cousin ..Well he didn't know Sanskar can't ask even if he wanted too .

When Sanskar made the promise to Swara .He wasn't curious about her past , After the nighmare and Swara reaction to laksh marriage he was way too curious. But an promise is an promise .

P.S : " That it for now .Let me know you feedback .Hit the votes of you liked it "

Love
