Swasan break the hug...

Swara: Sanskaar... I think we should leave... its very late...
Sanskaar: (nods his head but is tensed) Hmm...

Swara turns to leave... Sanskaar holds her hand...

Sanskaar: (cups Swara's face) Swara... will you promise one thing...??
Swara: Huhhh..??
Sanskaar: Promise me Swara... You will never let your past affect your present or future... Promise me that whatever comes in the future... you will stay strong and will always trust me...!!
Swara: (a bit worried) What happened Sanskaar...?? Is there anything I should know...?? What is it that's bothering you...??
Sanskaar: Aaa... nothing... it's nothing...!! Come let's go...!!

Both of them leave...

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

At the palace... Swasan reach there and Raglak takes them to Swaragini's room...

Ragini: So, how was your date...??
Sanskaar: Oh God...!! Please Ragini... that was not a date...!! Who goes on a date with a cry baby...!!
Swara: What...!! Cry baby...!! Do I look like a cry baby to you...?? How mean Sanskaar..!!
Sanskaar: Aur nahin toh kya...!! Lucky... Ragini... You tell me... who in this world starts crying on feeling hungry...!!

Raglak look at Swara with an amused face trying hard to suppress their laugh...

Swara: Dhokebaazon... Don't laugh...!!
Laksh: What is this Swara... We arranged your first date and you are calling us traitors...!! Not fair...
Swara: Oh really... Is this fair that you all are pulling my leg...!! Leave it... I don't wanna talk to any of you...!!

Saying this she leaves... and as soon as she steps out of the room everyone becomes serious...

Sanskaar: Lucky... what happened...??
Laksh: (takes a deep breath) Bhai... he came...!!
Ragini: But it's impossible... we can't prevent them from coming face to face...!! The party will start in two hours... and not many people are invited...!! Anyhow they will get to meet each other...
Laksh: And we can't do anything against Aditya right now... We have no proof against him...!!
Sanskaar: (angrily) We are not going to accuse him directly for whatever he did... That will hurt Swara even more... But I'll make sure he pays heavily for what he did to Shona...!! The day my plan gets accomplished; he'll be over... forever...!!
Laksh: What are you planning to do bhai...??
Sanskaar: Ragini... since you are a news reporter, I'll need your help... (sorry I forgot to mention before that Ragini is a reporter)...

Then Sanskaar explains everything to Raglak...

Laksh: But bhai... this will take a lot of time...almost two or three months!! What are we going to do until then...??
Sanskaar: Until then I'll protect my love... At least I can do this much for her...!!

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

After half an hour... Swaragini's room... Ragini is sitting on the bed and Swara is helping her in getting ready...

Ragini: Stop it naa Swara... You also get ready...
Swara: Offoo Ragini... first you get ready... You are the bride not me... So everyone is going to see you only... Mera kya hai... I'll get ready after you..!!
Ragini: No ways... Even though I'm the one who is getting married but you must also get ready... not for anyone else but at least for Sankaar...
Swara: Raginii...  you started again...!! By-the-way... I'm angry on him...!!
Ragini: Angry...?? Why...??
Swara: Areyy, he called me cry baby...!! Do, I look like a baby..??
Ragini: (in a teasing tone) Then what do you want to become...?? Mother of the babies...??
Swara: (shocked) Whatt..!!
Ragini: Oyee hoyee... But for that you must consult Sanskaar...!! He is the only one who can help you in this matter...!!
Swara: (embarrassed aoshows fake anger) Stop it Ragini..!!
Ragini: Achcha, tell me what do you want...?? Baby boy... or baby girl...??
Swara: Ragini... one more word and I'll surely kill you...!!
Ragini: (gets up from the bed) I suggest at first you must have five boys... then five girls... then the last one as per your wish...!!
Swara: You are done...!! (gets angry and picks up the pillow)...
Ragini: (starts running in the room with Swara running after her) Areyy... areyy... meri Jhansi ki Rani... I'm giving you very good offer... a cricket team free of cost...!!
Swara: Raginiiii...!!

She throws the pillow... and guess what... Ragini dodges and Sanlak enter the room at that very moment and the pillow hits right on Laksh's face...!!

Laksh: Ughhh... Wow what a welcome to the groom...!!
Sanskaar: May I know... why both are trying to become P T Usha...??
Ragini: (winks at Swara) Actually we were planning... Hain naa Swara... (Swara looks at her angrily)
Laksh: Planning... for what...??
Ragini: For starting a special cricket team...
Sanskaar: Cricket team...?? (he looks at Swara... who face palms herself in embarrassment)...
Ragini: But we have some confusion... and only Sanskaar bhai can solve this problem...!!
Sanskaar: Me..?? How can I help you...??
Ragini: Achcha... tell me... If we have five girls in our team... and five boys... then what about the eleventh member... whether the member should be a boy or a girl... Sanskaar... what would you like...
Sanskaar: If that's the case... then a girl...!!
Swara: Whattt...!!
Ragini: See Swara... problem solved...!!

Swara again throws the pillow at Ragini... but this time Sanskaar catches it... Just then Ap and GM come to Swaragini's room...

Ap: Hey Bhagwan...!! What have you done to this room..?? (looks at Swara) and why aren't you ready till now Swara beta... The guests have started to arrive...!!
GM: Sanskaar beta... I suggest you and Laksh should go to welcome the guest...!!
Sanskaar: Ji... Ganga Maa...!!

Sanlak leave...

Ap: (to Swara) Swara... what are you going to wear for the party..??
Swara: I haven't decided yet aunty... I'll wear anything... Don't worry...!!
GM: (to Ap) Dekha... I told you..!!
Ap: I knew it... That's why I brought this dress for you... (she gives a packet to Swara) Since, this is a cocktail party and all the youngsters will be in western attire... So, I suggest you should wear this...!!

Ragini smiles and Swara nods her head... Ap and GM leave... Ragini starts helping Swara in getting ready...!!

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

After 20 minutes both of them reach the party hall...!! Sanlak get mesmerized seeing both of them... Ragini is wearing a beautiful knee length red dress... and her black heels complemented her dress very well... Her hairs tied up in a loose side bun...!! Laksh couldn't get his eyes off his future wife...!! On the other side Sanskaar's heart skips a beat seeing Swara in a western attire for the first time... she is wearing a beautiful black off shoulder gown which hugged her well curved body perfectly... To complete her look she is wearing a pair of black heels and simple earings... her hairs are left loose with a cute puff...!!

Swaragini go upto Sanlak and smile seeing them completely lost...!!

The host announces and the party starts... After half an hour... Sanskaar is meeting some of his business partners but his eyes are completely following each and every movement of Swara's... whereas Swara is completely busy talking to Ragini...

Just while talking... Ragini starts coughing all of a sudden...

Swara: Ragini... Hold on... let me get you some water...!!

Swara goes to bring water but by that time Laksh reaches there and gives a glass of water to Ragini... Swara sees this from a distance and smiles... She keeps the glass back on the counter and moves towards Ragini...

But on the way she bumps with someone n the drink from that person's hand falls on Swara's dress...

Swara: (without looking at the person) Sorry...!!

She goes to Ragini... whereas the person looks at her with a devilish smirk on his face...

Ragini: What happened Swara...??
Swara: Nothing... Just something fell on my dress...!! You wait here... I'm going to clean it...!!
Ragini: Wait... I'm also coming with you...!!
Swara: Umm hmm... no need... Yo must stay here... You are the bride n this party is in your honor...!! Main bas yun gayi aur yun aayi...!! (she leaves)

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

Swara comes cleans her dress and is on her way back to the party hall when she hears someone's voice...

"I never expected that you will forget me so soon... Not fair...!!", comes a voice from behind...

Swara's heart beat freezes on hearing the voice... She turns only to find her biggest nightmare standing right in front of her...

Swara: Y... Y... You...!!
Person: Ohoo... so you do remember me..!! Well what to do... No one in this world can resist Aditya Kashyap's charm...

Swara tries to move away but Aditya stands in her way... She tries to shout but her voice denies to leave her throat... She didn't wanted to create a scene over there and spoil the festive mood of the marriage...

Aditya: Well, I must say... You have become even more beautiful than the last time I saw you...!! Is there something else or is it the effect of my... touch...

He touches Swara's hand from top to bottom with the back of this palm... Swara feels disgusted with his touch... tears start flowing down from her eyes...!!

Aditya: Ohoo Baby... don't cry...

He forwards his hand to touch Swara's shoulder... She closes her eyes in fear... when all of a sudden someone holds Aditya's hand right before he could touch Swara...

Aditya: Oh hello... Mr. Maheshwari...!!

Swara opens her eyes on hearing this and a smile of relief comes to her face...

Swara: (slowly) Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: (comes and stands in between Swara and Aditya)... (angrily) Mr. Kashyap... I think you should leave... (tilts his head a bit to Swara) Swara... go to Ragini and Laksh...
Swara: But Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: (a bit angrily) Swara... I said... Go Inside...!!

Swara goes inside without saying a word... Aditya sees her leaving with a smirk on his face...!!

Sanskaar: Stay away from her...!!
Aditya: Huhhh...??
Sanskaar: I said door raho Swara se...!! Don't you dare come near her again...!!
Aditya: Woah man... looks like someone has fallen in love...!!

Sanskaar finds no point in talking to him so he turns to leave...

Aditya: (from behind) Well Mr. Maheshwari... enjoy urself... let me assure you she is a great item to spend your time with...!! Surely you are going to enjoyyyy...

But before he could complete he receives a hard blow on his face... and within seconds he falls on the ground wincing in pain...

Sanskaar: (angrily) One more word against her and I'll make sure myself that those are your last words...!! (Aditya looks at him angrily)

Just at that moment Sanskaar receives a call... he gets up and goes to attend the call...

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

Sanskaar returns to the party hall after 10 minutes... but gets shocked on seeing the scenario inside... Aditya along with his mother has instigated the people over there against Swara...

A lady: Sharmishtha Ji... how could you invite such a girl to your daughter's marriage...??
Lady 2: Such a girl is inauspicious for your daughter...!!

Swara's eyes well up on hearing this... Sanskaar is hearing all this and his anger is reaching its peak...

Ragini: (defends Swara) Excuse Me... who are you to decide who must attend my marriage and who should not... Swara is my best friend and she has full rights of attending my marriage...

Someone speaks from behind, "But who knows... whatever happened with her might be her fault... I mean how can a girl behave so normally after losing her dignity..." (Swara starts crying)

"Enoughhhh...!!", shouts Sanskaar from behind... Everyone looks at him...

Sanskaar: Do you all have a parameter to measure how much dignified as a person she is...?? Does any one of you standing... right here in this hall... know her..?? What did you say... Whatever happened was her fault...!! Ya... right... absolutely right...!! It was her fault...!! It was her fault that she loved her family so much... a family which never cared about her...!! It was her fault that she thought to bring medicines for her aunt when her uncle was not at home...!! It was her fault that she tried to save her sister from getting harassed...!! Yaa... everything was her fault...!! She shouldn't have cared about anyone... when no one cared about her...!! But No... (points at Swara) This girl standing here... is not like that...!! She loves others more than she loves herself... All she always cares about is other's happiness...!!

A lady: But what's the use of her goodness when she is imppp...
Sanskaar: (angrily cuts in between and shouts) Don't you dare say the word...!! (goes to Swara and stands in front of her) She is as pure as the river Ganga... worth worshipping...!! She is as pure as a child's heart... free of any hatred or bad feeling...!! She is as pure as true love... to be felt with heart and soul...!!

Another person: These all are bookish things Mr. Sanskaar Maheshwari... They don't work out in real life...!! A girl with such a past has no place in our society...!!
Sanskaar: Society... great... Society....!! Will you please explain what is this society...?? (looks at everyone) Okay... let me tell you... a society is a place where we enjoy a movie... no matter how vulgar it is... with cold drinks and pop corn... but a rape victim is treated as if she is the biggest mistake made by God...!! A society is a place where men however wrong they are... never considered wrong but the women... they always suffer... they always pay for other's mistake... Why...?? Will you please tell me...?? Why a lady is always considered wrong...?? Here everyone is seeing what happened with her... but anyone bothered to ask her what actually happened...!! Who did it...?? How much she suffered...?? No... But all are continuously blaming her for a mistake she hasn't even done...!!

"It seems you are supporting her because you might have fallen in love with her Mr. Maheshwari", says aome random person from behind...

Sanskaar: (looks at the crowd) YES... I DO...!! (Swara looks at him shocked with teary eyes)... (Sanskaar smiles and looks at Swara) I LOVE HER...!! And I'm proud that I have fallen in love with her...!! She is the best thing that has ever happened in my life...!!

Saying this he goes towards Swara... He cups her face and wipes off her tears with his thumbs... and.... He kisses her forehead in front of everyone... Everyone gets shocked... except for the Maheshwari and Gaddodia family... as right now they are proud of Sanskaar for the way he is fighting for the pride of his love...!!

Sanskaar: Swara... I didn't wanted it to happen this way... but I think this is most perfect time... This is the right moment for this...!!

Swara looks at him confused... Sanskaar smiles and looks towards Ap and Dp... Both of them smile and nod their head... Sanskaar slides his hand inside his pocket and takes out something...

Swara gets startled on seeing a beautiful Rajasthani ring in Sanskaar's hand... The ring has a beautiful diamond in its center with several smaller diamonds and pearls embedded perfectly all around... Sanskaar sits on one of his knees in front of Swara...

Sanskaar: I won't be saying any cheesy lines right now...!! As I'm not in the mood... so I'm postponing all those lines till further notice... (Sanskaar chuckles and Swara smiles on hearing this)... But on a serious note... Ms. Swara... to be honest I don't know why I fell in love with you...!! Not only your qualities and innocence took my heart away... but also your pain... I feel connected with it...!! All I know is I can't see tears in your eyes...!! I want to give you all the happiness you deserve...!! I want you to smile forever and ever...!! So, will you please fulfill my wish... and become Mrs. Swara Sanskaar Maheshwari...!! (forwards the ring towards her) Will you marry me Swara..??

Swara: (gets overwhelmed on his proposal) But Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: No ifs and buts Swara... Just say... YES or NO...!! I promise I can fight this whole society for us... but all I need is your support...!! (Swara could see his love for her in his eyes)...
Swara: (nods her head with a bright smile) YES...!!
Sanskaar: What I didn't hear you...!!
Swara: YES...!!
Sanskaar: A bit louder please ...!!
Swara: (loudly) YESSS...!!

Sanskaar smiles widely and slides the ring in Swara's finger... He gets up and hugs her... By this time Aditya and his family silently sneaks away... Everyone claps for them... MF and GF have tears in their eyes seeing their unconditional love for each other...!!

Dp: (announces) Seems like we are going to have two marriages then...!! (Swasan look at each other shocked) So, ladies and gentlemen... I cordially invite all of you to the marriage of both my sons Sanskaar and Laksh... which is going to take place on the same day... at the same venue... So please kindly grace us with your presence and bless both the couples...!! (Ap gets extremely happy and teary eyes on hearing this)

Everyone applauds... whereas both Raglak and Swasan look at each other with eyes full of hope for a beautiful future ahead...!!

Episode ends...!!
