Episode 7:

The scene starts from...

The camera opens to a room where a couple is lying in bed, the scene suggesting they've been engaged in some intimate activities. A close-up reveals the boy in the bed—Arjun. The camera focuses on him, and we hear a faint murmur.

Arjun (dreamily): "Swara, you're so hot... (a tight slap from the author) You know, last night was the best, with you in my bed, in my arms... (don't worry, the author is ready with her new heels)... I never knew you loved spending nights with me..."

He opens his eyes and looks towards the girl beside him, who is sleeping with her back turned. Arjun lovingly traces his finger on her shoulder. She stirs and turns towards him, and Arjun's lustful smile fades as he realizes the girl is not Swara but Aarini.

Arjun (shouting): "Aariniiiiiiiiii!"

Aarini wakes up with a start, rubbing her eyes and speaking groggily.

Aarini: "What, Sanskar? Why are you shouting? Last night, you were enjoying with me, and now you're screaming my name?"

She looks towards Arjun, and both their states suggest they're in the same predicament.

Aarini (angrily): "What the hell are you doing with me in bed? I was supposed to be with Sanskar!"

Arjun (with the same tone): "I could say the same! I was with Swara last night. How come you're here with me?"

Aarini: "Something's fishy. Let's go outside."

Both get dressed and head outside. The scene unfolds at a farmhouse far from the city. They are shocked by the sight before them.

Swara is sitting in Sanskar's lap, her head resting on his chest. She's eating an apple while Sanskar is holding her protectively around her waist with one arm and using his cell phone with the other. Swara is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, while Sanskar is dressed in track pants and a sleeveless vest. They are both in their night attire.

Sanskar, while using his cell phone, pecks Swara's forehead. His eyes meet Arjun and Aarini's, and an evil smirk appears on his face. Sanskar pecks Swara's cheek and sees the confusion and anger on Arjun and Aarini's faces.

Swara's eyes fill with tears as she sees Aarini and Arjun. Shocked and distressed, she immediately rushes to Sanskar, burying her face against his chest. Sanskar wraps his arms around her, his protective embrace a clear statement of his support. His eyes, now red with anger, lock onto Aarini and Arjun, making them both tremble with fear.

Sanskar reaches into his pocket and pulls out a syringe. Without a word, he administers an injection to Swara, who winces slightly. Once done, he gently lays her down on the sofa, covering her with a soft sheet. As Swara's tears continue to fall, Sanskar lovingly wipes them away, his eyes filled with concern.

Swara (weakly): "Sa...n.s..karrr..."

Sanskar: "Shhh, sleep now, Swara."

Swara's eyes flutter shut as the sedative takes effect. Sanskar, now visibly enraged, turns his full attention to Aarini and Arjun.

Scene 2

Sanskar (dangerously): "So, you both thought you could use us and get away with it?"

Arjun (confused): "What are you talking about? We were supposed to be with Swara last night. How did this happen?"

Sanskar delivers a sharp punch to Arjun's face, his fury palpable.

Sanskar (furious): "Don't you dare speak ill of my wife!"

Aarini tries to make sense of the situation, her voice trembling.

Aarini: "But yesterday, you and Swara said you would spend the night with us. How did Arjun and I end up together?"

Sanskar starts laughing, a cold, menacing sound that echoes through the room.

Sanskar: "Hahaha, what did you think? That you were trapping us? The reality is, you two are the ones who fell into our trap."

Arjun (angry): "What are you talking about? Explain yourself!"

Sanskar takes a deep breath, preparing to explain.

Sanskar: "Alright, let me start from the beginning. 

Flashback: 7 Days Before

The plan to trap Ramta and Sujata was set in motion. Swasan, along with their parents, decided that Sujata would be the first target. The scheme was meticulously crafted, with every detail accounted for.

Suman approached Sujata with a tempting offer.

Suman: "Sujata, did you hear about the 40% off sale at XYZ Jewelry Brand?"

Sujata's eyes widened with excitement.

Sujata: "What? Really? I've always wanted to buy from that brand, but Ramji never allows it because it's so expensive. I must go immediately!"

Suman: "Why not surprise him? He won't expect it. But don't tell him yet."

Sujata, thrilled by the prospect, eagerly agreed. Little did she know, Suman and Swara had already planned to swap the real jewelry with fake ones. Swara, disguised as an elderly woman, ensured that the original jewelry was cleverly replaced with the fake ones, slipping it into Sujata's bag while keeping the cameras fooled.

Sujata, oblivious to the deception, purchased the jewelry and returned home with Suman. She entered her room excitedly, showing off her new acquisition to Ram.

Sujata: "Look at this beautiful jewelry! It cost me 5 lakhs."

Ram: "You've never mentioned spending that much before. Are you sure it's real?"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Servant: "Sir, the police are here."

Confusion spread as Ramta descended to meet the police, who were armed with a shocking accusation.

Police Officer: "Mrs. Sujata Prasad Maheshwari, you are arrested for stealing jewelry worth 50 lakhs."

Sujata (flustered): "What? I didn't steal anything! This is absurd!"

The officers played the CCTV footage, revealing what seemed to be Sujata placing the original jewelry into her bag. The evidence appeared damning, with the box of fake jewelry found near her.

Sujata (pleading): "Ramji, please believe me. I didn't do this."

Ram (coldly): "I can't help you now. You'll have to face this on your own."

Sujata was taken away, and Ram showed no inclination to bail her out. She spent two days in jail, her situation worsening. Finally, Vikram intervened, securing her release.

Upon her release, Sujata confronted Vikram and Suman, her frustration palpable.

Sujata: "Bhaisa, please forgive me. I know I was greedy, but I never intended to harm anyone. We exchanged our children, and I made a grave mistake."

Vikram: "Sujata, you didn't just make a mistake. You sinned. We can't decide your punishment; it's Sanskar's right."

Sujata's eyes widened in shock as Sanskar appeared, having overheard the conversation.

Sujata: "Sanskar? But I thought you lost your memory!"

Sanskar: "No, I never lost my memory. It was all a ruse. You see, you chose to support evil and abandoned us when we needed you most. The very people you ditched are the ones who helped you now."

Sujata's tears flowed freely as she realized the gravity of her actions and the betrayal she had faced.

Sanskar: "I can't forgive you for the pain you've caused me and my parents. But I want you to understand this: I once saw you as my mother, but now I cannot accept you as one again. If you want a chance of redemption, you must promise to turn over a new leaf and stop supporting evil."

Sujata, broken and remorseful, promised to change her ways. She left the Maheshwari mansion, handing Ram the divorce papers he received indifferently.

The scene ends with Sujata walking away from the Maheshwari mansion, her future uncertain, while Sanskar and Swara's plan to unveil the truth has successfully exposed Sujata's true character.

Flashback 4 Days Later

Three days had passed since Sujata's shocking exposure. On the fourth day, Swara was strolling through the corridor when she overheard a conversation that made her heart race. She hurried to their room, finding Sanskar standing on the balcony, engrossed in a phone call.

Swara: "Sanskarrr??"

Sanskar ended the call and turned to her, concern evident in his eyes.

Sanskar: "What happened?"

Swara explained the situation, and Sanskar's expression shifted from concern to shock. He struggled to maintain his composure but couldn't hide his anxiety.

Swara: "Sanskar, what if we take action based on this?"

Sanskar: "Swara, are you out of your mind?"

Swara: "But Sanskar, what's wrong with doing that?"

Sanskar: "Seriously, Swara? You're asking me this? Don't you have a mind to use?"

Swara: "Sanskar, please, HCB, please..." (She clung to the railing for support.)

Sanskar's anger flared, and he gripped her shoulders tightly, his nails digging into her skin. Swara winced from the pain.

Sanskar (gritting his teeth): "Swara, I said no. A big, fat no. Do you get that, Swara Sanskar Goenka?"

Swara (tears welling up): "Please, but—"

Sanskar, losing his temper, jerked her hand away, causing her to stumble dangerously close to the edge of the railing. In a split second, he caught her and pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart racing.

Sanskar's breath was ragged, and he held Swara as if she is the most precious thing in the world. Swara, stunned and disoriented, slowly registered the near-fall. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to comprehend what had just happened.

Sanskar (whispering): "Swara..."

Swara looked up at him, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

Swara (voice trembling): "Y-you pushed me, Sanskar..."

Sanskar's heart ached as he realized the gravity of his actions. He pulled her closer, his own eyes brimming with tears.

Sanskar: "I'm sorry, Swara. I didn't realize you were standing right on the edge. I'm so sorry."

Swara's fear began to transform into quiet sobs as she clung to him, seeking comfort. Sanskar, overwhelmed with guilt, held her tightly, his tears mingling with hers.

Swara (crying softly): "Aarini pushed me like that, Sanskar..."

Sanskar broke the hug, his eyes wide with shock.

Sanskar: "Swara... you... you remember?"

Swara nodded through her tears. Sanskar gently eased her down onto the bed, though she clung to him desperately. He took out his cell phone, texting Suman to manage downstairs and keep everyone away, so Swara could have some privacy. Suman responded that Swasan had gone out for dinner, which triggered jealousy in Aarini and Arjun.

Sanskar locked the door and turned back to Swara, who was now hiding her face in a pillow, crying silently. He lay beside her and wrapped his arms around her, trying to offer comfort.

Swara: "Why, Sanskar? Why did they do this? What was my mother's fault? What was my fault?"

Sanskar didn't respond; he just stroked her head and rubbed her back, feeling her pain deeply. The anguish Swara felt mirrored his past suffering.

Sanskar (kissing her head): "Everyone faces hardships in life. We've indeed both endured a lot. Today, you remembered your past because of me. If I hadn't been angry and pushed you, you wouldn't have recalled anything. I'm sorry for that." Swara kept a hand over his mouth.

Swara, her hand still on his mouth, shook her head.

Swara (teary voice): "It's not your fault, Sanskar. I know you were angry because you cared for me. And everything happens for a reason. I remembered what Aarini did because of that incident, so please don't blame yourself."

Sanskar was about to respond when Swara's hand was still on his mouth. He tried to communicate with his eyes but realized she didn't understand. He playfully licked her hand.

Swara (pulling her hand away and rubbing it on his shirt): "Yuk, Sanskar! What is that?"

Sanskar (innocently): "What? You didn't understand my signals, so I did that."

Swara: "Why didn't you just use your hands? Why use your tongue? Ugh."

Sanskar: "How could I use my hands? They were on your waist," he winked.

Swara realized she was almost clinging to him and stammered, "Um... I... I should go..." She tried to move, but Sanskar had other plans. He rolled over her and pinned her hands above her head.

Swara (shocked): "Sanskar... what are you doing?"

Sanskar's expression turned husky as he rubbed his nose against her cheek.

Sanskar: "Swara, we're husband and wife, right?"

Swara, still dazed by his closeness, murmured, "Hmm..."

Sanskar kissed her lightly on the cheek.

Sanskar: "So you know what husbands and wives do, right?"

Swara nodded, her mind clouded by the sensations.

Sanskar (smirking naughtily): "So shall we proceed to the next step?"

Swara, still lost in the moment, replied softly, "Hmm..."

Sanskar suppressed his laughter, leaned in, and gave her a small bite on the jawline.

Swara (hissing, coming back to her senses): "Sanskar, what did you just say?"

Sanskar looked at her with a sincere gaze, then kissed her eyes and touched their foreheads together.

Sanskar: "Don't worry. I was just teasing you. As your bestie, I have the right to do that, right?"

Swara looked into his eyes, finding sincerity and affection. She smiled and gave him a tight kiss on his cheek.

Sanskar (pouting): "What, Swara? Am I a kid that you're kissing me on the cheek? I want a kiss on my lips."

Swara's eyes widened.

Swara: "Sanskar??"

Sanskar: "Yes, we're husband and wife. Can't we share a kiss?" he said with a sad, cute pout, still on top of her.

Swara studied him for a moment, then closed her eyes and tilted her head up. Sanskar grinned widely and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, holding her close. Swara's hands gripped his hair, and together, they shared their first intense and affectionate lip lock.
