Sanskaar: (comes and stands in front of Swara) Anything that I should know and you want to talk about...!!

Swara: I never told this to anyone Sanskaar... That what happened with me that night...!! That what I heard when I was in a half-conscious state...!! I never found someone with whom I could share my pain... But now, I think... I have someone who understands me better than my own self... I have you Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: (gets closer and cups her face) Swara... you can tell me whatever your heart wants... I'm always there to hear you out....!!

Swara: (starts) S... Sa... Sanskaar... That... day... That... (the fear of the past is clearly visible in her voice)

Sanskaar: (hugs and stops her) Swaraa... shhh... no need to say anything...!! I don't want to know anything...!!

He takes her to the bed and makes her lie there... Then he covers her with the comforter and pats her forehead...

Sanskaar: No need to stress yourself... Just relax and take rest...!! Okay...

He kisses her forehead and turns to go... But Swara holds his hand... Sanskaar turns and Swara gets up... She makes him sit on the bed and hugs him tightly...

Swara: Even though you don't want to know anything Sanskaar... But I want to tell you... Everything... !! We are going to get married Sanskaar so it's your right to know each and everything about me...

Sanskaar: (caresses her hairs) I'm always there for you Swara... (he holds her palms firmly assuring her that he'll protect her)

Swara starts...

--- THE DREADFUL NIGHT ---

Swara takes the medicine slip from her aunt...

Swara: Chachi... I'm going to get the medicines...

Chutki: Wait Swara didi... let me also come with you...!!

Chachi: Oh Madam... where are you going...?? Bas ghoomne ka bahana chahiye sabko...!! Just go to your room and study... (to Swara) and yes you... go... and don't go anywhere else... Go straight towards the medicine shop at the chowk...

Swara nods and leaves... Chachi and Anamika give a evil smirk...

Anamika: Maa... looks like... all our problems are going to get over now... (she calls someone) Hello... hmm... it's done...!!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Swara is going towards the medicine shop...

Swara: Why has aunty asked me to go to the medicine shop at the chowk when there is a shop nearby...?? (looks at the stars) Maa... Baba... I don't know why but I'm feeling very much scared right now... as if something wrong is going to happen...!! Please look after everyone and let no harm come to anyone...!!

In the meantime... Swara reaches the shop... she gives him the prescription...

Chemist: But beta... why have you come this far...?? You could have easily got these medicines at the shop near your house...!!

Swara: But my Chachi said that these medicines are only available at your shop...!!

Chemist: Then, in that case your Chachi might have got some wrong information...!! Anyways beta... hurry back home... this area is not safe for girls... especially during the night...!!

Swara: (nods her head) Okay... thank you uncle...!!

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Swara heads back towards her home... After sometimes... she feels as if someone is following her... she turns but couldn't find anyone...!! Thinking it of as her hallucination Swara starts moving forward... but at a bit faster pace...!! Then again after a few moments she feels as if someone is there... Her heart skips a beat fearing for something really unwanted upcoming... She turns but still couldn't see anything...!! She turns back but only to get the shock of her life...

Four men are standing in front of her with an evil smirk on their faces...

One man: Remember me babes...!!

Swara: (gets shocked) Y... Y... You...!!

Man: Ohoo... look at this friends the tigress... who dared to slap Aditya Kashyap... The Aditya Kashyap... has now turned into a wet kitten...!!

Swara grabs the medicine pack near her chest and tries to move away but the men come and stand in front of her... The encircle her to remove even the slightest possibility for her to run away... But then with a quick move Swara runs towards one of them and bites his hand... The man winces in man...

Man: You... how dare you...??

Swara runs and the man runs behind her... Just after few moments, the man hits Swara's head with something hard... Blood starts oozing from her head and within seconds she falls unconscious...

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Swara gets her conscious back... but all she could feel are several hands moving all over her body... She feels disgusted with each and every touch of theirs... Their lustful evil eyes make her scared to hell... The immense pain in all her body parts makes her scream at the extreme pitch of her voice... But to her misfortune... no one... not even a single person comes to her rescue and neither the beasts show some mercy on her...

After several hours when all of them are exhausted... they leave her... whereas Swara has almost reached the stage of being unconscious once again... And before losing her senses completely all she could hear gives her the shock of life...

Man: Ohoo Anamika baby... you and mother have helped Aditya Kashyap in taking his revenge...!! Don't worry about your reward... you will surely get it...!! How dare she slap me...?? This will be a lesson of lifetime for her...!!

And with these words she loses her senses and get unconscious once again... After that all she could remember the hospital bed where she gets her conscious back...

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

PRESENT

Swara weeps continuously lying in Sanskaar arms... clutching his shirt tightly and her head resting on his chest... Sanskaar hugs her even more tightly... Tears roll down his cheeks...

Sanskaar: (wipes his tears) Shhh... Swara... look at me... (cups her face but Swara's eyes are still lowered) I said look at me Swara... (she looks at him... a painful eye lock engulfs both of them)... (Sanskaar wipes her tears) Swara... from now on there is no place for these tears in your life...!! Do you get me...?? (Swara nods her head and Sanskaar gives an intense kiss on her forehead)...

Sanskaar makes her lie on the bed...

Sanskaar: Now take rest...!! And don't think about anything else... (he is about to leave but Swara holds him back)...

Swara: Please don't go...!!

Sanskaar: (sits beside her on the bed) I'm not going anywhere... I'll never let anything happen to you...!!

Sanskaar lies on the bed and Swara keeps her head on his chest and encircles her arm around his waist... Very soon she dozes off in his arms... the safest place for her in the entire world...

After sometimes Ragini comes and sees Swara sleeping, cuddling Sanskaar like a baby... Sanskaar opens his eyes hearing the noise... Sanskaar signals Ragini to come and he slowly removes Swara's hand... He makes her sleep on the bed... He covers her with the comforter and kisses her forehead before leaving...

Sanskaar: (to Ragini) Ragini... ammm... wohhh...

Ragini: (smiles) Don't worry Sanskaar... I'll take care of her...!!

Sanskaar smiles and leaves...

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

Next morning... Swara gets up and looks on the other side of the bed... She finds Ragini sleeping there peacefully... She is about to get up when suddenly she realizes something... she looks on the side table... and smiles finding a rose and the letter there...

Letter: BHOOL GAYI THI NAA... THEN MADAM... MAKE IT A HABIT AS I'LL NEVER FORGET TO KEEP THIS ROSE HERE AND WELCOME YOUR SWEET SMILE...!! GOOD MORNING LOVE...!! YOU ARE MY LIFE... AND I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF SAYING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN... I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH...!! <3

Swara smiles reading the letter and a few tears make their way out of her eyes... she kisses the letter...

Swara: I love you too Sanskaar... Thanks for coming into my life...!!

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

SANLAK's ROOM...

Laksh notices Sanskaar lost in his thoughts...

Laksh: Bhai... what happened...??

Sanskaar: I can't believe this Laksh... Swara's aunt and cousin helped Aditya... in whatever... whatever happened with her...!!

Laksh: (shocked) What...??

Sanskaar: We can't even imagine whatever she has gone through... (angrily) I'll not leave this Aditya Kashyap at any cost... I'll destroy him once and for all... He'll literally beg for his life...!! And for her aunt and cousin... they don't even regret whatever they have done...!!

Laksh: So, what are you going to do...??

Sanskaar: I'll need their self-confession... but how...??

Someone says from behind... "I think I can help you out"

Sanlak: (turn) Ragini...!!

Ragini: Yes... Me...!!!

Sanskaar: How do you think you can help us...??

And in case if you both have forgotten then let me remind you... that today is your Haldi ceremony... So lazy bones... get going... and get ready...!! Come down in 10 minutes...!!

Laksh: Hello madam... you are also not ready... and you are ordering us..??

Ragini: Duffer... our Haldi ritual will be organized... once you both are done with it...!! And I want all my rituals to be organized at the right muhurat...!! So get going if you don't want to suffer for the rest of your life...!!

Ragini leaves... Sanlak go to get ready...
