Next morning... Swara gets up and the first thing that strikes her mind is Sanskaar's thought...

Swara: (to herself) Oh God Swara...!! What are you doing...?? Why are you behaving like that with Sanskaar...?? Whatever happened and whatever is happening, none is his fault...!! The way I behaved with him last night... (takes a deep breath) He must have been so hurt by my behavior...!! I must apologize to him...!!

Saying this she gets down from her bed... all of a sudden her eyes fall on a piece of paper kept on the table near her bed... she picks up the paper and reads it...

SWARA,

I KNOW MY ACTIONS HAVE HURT YOU SO MUCH... I'M SO SORRY FOR THAT... YESTERDAY I REALIZED THAT WHENEVER I COME NEAR YOU... YOU GET HURT... BUT TRUST ME SWARA I NEVER WANT TO BE THE REASON BEHIND YOUR TEARS... YOU WANT ME TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU NAA... THEN I PROMISE I WON'T COME IN FRONT OF YOU... I'M SORRY ONCE AGAIN...!!

SANSKAAR

Tears start making their way from her eyes and rolls down her cheeks on reading this... all her moments with Sanskaar start flashing in front of her eyes... Their first meet... Sanskaar teasing her... then the way he saved her from Satya risking his own life... their night together in the forest... and his soft kiss on her forehead... Swara closes her eyes and touches her forehead... she smiles feeling his kiss... but suddenly reality strikes her... she sits down on the floor with a thud...

Swara: (crying)No Sanskaar it should not be you... It should have been me who must apologize... Why Sanskaar... why...?? Why didn't you come to my life before...?? But now its too late... bahot der ho chukii hai Sanskaar... bahot der... Day-by-day its becoming hard for me...!! You do affect me Sanskaar... you affect me to the level one can't even imagine...!!

She wipes her tears and runs towards Sanskaar's room... she finds Laksh over there...

Swara: Laksh... where is Sanskaar...??

Laksh: I don't know... I haven't seen him since morning... In fact when I woke up he was already gone somewhere...!!

Swara gets tensed on hearing this... She runs to BPG hoping that they might be knowing about Sanskaar's whereabouts...

Swara: Bachcha Party... do you know where is Sanskaar...??

Aarvi: Sanskaar bhaiya...?? We don't know Swara didi...?? We haven't seen him since yesterday night...!!

Golu: But I met him in the morning...!!

Swara: (her face gets lit up on hearing this) Where...?? I mean what did he say...?? Did he tell you where is he going...??

Golu: (sad face) No didi... he didn't tell me where he is going...!! He just gave me a paper and asked me to keep it on the table near your bed...!!

Swara: (shocked) You kept this paper on the table...??

Golu: (nods his head) Yes... but he was looking very sad...!!

Swara: (gets teary eyes again) And then...??

Golu: Then nothing... he just went outside...!!

Swara gets very sad on finding no clue about Sanskaar... she searches for him in every nook and corner of the Home... She even asks SB and GM... but all her efforts go in vain...

The whole day passes but Sanskaar doesn't return... With each and every passing minute she gets more and more restless... she tries hard all day not to let her tears fall in front of anyone... She goes to Laksh, SB and GM for asking a number of times... in case they have some information...!! Whole day Swara keeps waiting for Sanskaar... without talking to anyone... without eating anything...!!

----------------------------.

Now its late afternoon, Swara's anxiety has increased to a level that she might breakdown any moment... and all her patience level crosses on getting a call... Home Sunshine's landline buzzes indicating an incoming call... Swara runs and picks up the call...

Swara: Hello...!!

"Hello Jaan... missed me..??", came a dreadful voice from the other side... Swara gets shocked and in no time realizes who is it...

Swara: (shocked) S... S... Satya...??

Satya: Wow... see how deep our relation is...!! You recognized me just on listening to my voice...!!

Swara: Why have you called here...??

Satya: Now what to do LOVE... you know me naa I seriously can't tolerate if anyone pokes his nose in my matter...!!

Swara: What do you mean...??

Satya: Ohooo you are so innocent... That's why I love you so much... (suddenly his tone changes) Do you think I'll leave HIM just like that...?? Your HERO saved you that day... but now who'll save him...??

Swara's heart sinks on hearing this...

Swara: (fumbles) You... You... ca... can't be serious...!!

Satya: I'm always serious jaan when it comes to you... But don't worry... right now I'm not planning to kill him...!!

Swara: (her eyes gets welled up and she shouts) Satya...!! Don't you dare touch him...!!

Satya: Woaahhh...!! Didn't I hear correctly or bells are ringing in my ears...?? I felt as if the LITTLE KITTEN has turned into a FIERCE LIONESS...!! But baby do you really think I'll leave him when he's standing right in front of me now...??

Swara: Whattt...?? He's standing in front of you... where is he... please tell me...

But before she could say anything, the call gets cut...

Swara: (shouts) Hello... hello.... Hello...!!

She quickly dials Sanskaar's mobile number but it's unreachable... Everyone at the house also come there hearing her shouting...

SB: Swara beta... what happened...??

Swara: (starts crying) Baba... wohh... Sanskaar...!!

GM: What happened to him...?? Swara...??

Swara: (keeps crying) Maa... that Satya found him...!! What if he'll do something to Sanskaar...?? (cries even more bitterly) I... I... must go...!!

SB: But beta where will you go...?? You don't know where is he...??

Swara: (shouts) But Baba... what if something happens to him...?? I won't be able to live baba... I won't...!!

Saying this she runs out but Laksh holds her...

Laksh: Swara wait... You don't go anywhere... its going to be night soon... I and Sudarshan baba will go and find him...!!

SB and Laksh leave to find Sanskaar... whereas Swara hugs GM and cries...

----------------------.

Its been almost an hour since Laksh and SB left... Swara keeps sitting on the main gate only and refuses to move until Sanskaar comes back... she keeps on crying... Suddenly her eyes fall on someone coming... the face of the person still not clear... but Swara gets extremely happy on seeing him...

Swara: (stands up) Sanskaaarrrr...!!

Everyone looks in the direction she's looking... And before anyone could realize anything, Swara runs and hugs Sanskaar... passing both her hands around his neck... standing on her toes... Everyone gets shocked on seeing this... even Sanskaar is taken aback on the sudden action of hers... But Swara is lost in her own world... Only she knows how much she has suffered the whole day... how much she craved for this hug... she closes her eyes and keeps crying... Sanskaar gets overwhelmed on this and he hugs her back passing one of his hands across her waist and other hand caressed her hairs...

Sanskaar: Swara... Swara... Its okay... Shhhh.... Stop crying...!!

Swara comes to her senses on hearing Sanskaar's voice... she breaks the hug...

Swara: (hits him on his shoulders) Pagaal ho...?? Aise koi karta hai kya...?? Where have been the whole day...?? Do you even have any idea what I have been going through...?? And that Satya... (suddenly she stops remembering what Satya said)... (gets worried and touches Sanskaar's face and shoulders) Sanskaar... are you all right... are you hurt...??

Laksh: Swara... you were right...!! Someone planned to harm Sanskaar...!! But whether it was Satya or not... I'm not sure...!!

Swara: What...??

Laksh: Haan... actually when we found him... we saw a truck speeding towards him... it was clearly visible that the driver intended to harm Sanskaar... I ran to save him but he got hurt a bit...!! We have called the doctor and he's on his way to here...!!

(note: no one could see his injuries as it's dark outside)...

Everyone brings Sanskaar inside and Swara cries seeing Sanskaar's head bleeding... he also had some injuries on his hands...

Meanwhile, the doctor comes... and Sanskaar is taken to his room...

--------------------.

Doctor comes out of Sanskaar's room...

Laksh: Doctor... how's he...?? Nothing to worry about naa...??

Doctor: No... no... Mr. Laksh... he's fine... I have bandaged his head and applied ointment on his wounds... Just take these pain killers and give him after his dinner... he'll be fine in two-three days... Nothing to worry about...!!

Laksh see-offs the doctor... whereas Swara keeps listening to everything standing in a corner...

----------------------.

NIGHT... everyone is having dinner...

SB: Laksh beta... how's Sanskaar now...??

Laksh: He's fine Baba... he has taken his dinner and medicines... and is sleeping right now...!!

Swara: (gets restless as she wants to see Sanskaar) Maa... I'm done...!!

GM: Areeyy... eat properly Swara... you haven't eaten anything the whole day...!!

Swara: No Maa... I'm not feeling hungry now... I'll eat later if I'll feel hungry...!!

Swara leaves... and sneaks into Sanskaar's room without getting noticed by anyone...

She finds Sanskaar sleeping... she stares at him lovingly... and goes near his bed... She touches his forehead and caresses his hairs... and sits in front of him on her knees...

Swara: (teary eyes)You were right Sanskaar... Fark padta hai mujhe tumhare hone ya na hone se...!! Just the feeling of losing you for ever... shattered me into pieces... But this society and the people living here will never give me the permission to love anyone... And above all I don't want you to suffer because of me...!! That's why I'm saying this now... as I don't want you to hear what all I'm saying...!! I don't know Sanskaar but somewhere in my heart I feel that you also feel for me... and this thought is enough for me that at least there is someone... Even though we can never be together... I just want to tell you that YOU ARE MY FIRST FEELING SANSKAAR... THE FEELING OF MY FIRST LOVE...!!

She wipes her tears... and touches Sanskaar's face lovingly... She bends down and kisses his forehead... Later she leaves from his room before anyone comes back...

--------------------------.

As soon as the door closes... Sanskaar opens his eyes... tear drops flow down his cheeks but still he has a smile on his face...

Sanskaar: Thank you so much Swara... thank you so much... And I don't care about the society... As far as I have you by my side... I can fight anyone... I'll give you all the happiness you deserve... WE WILL BE TOGETHER... Just get ready as very soon you are going to be MINE...!! (gives a smile)

Episode ends...!!

Precap: Sanskaar leaves for Laksh's engagement and Swara misses him...
