Everyone have their dinner... and move towards their rooms... Sanskaar is about to enter his room when Parineeta stops him at the doorstep...

Pari: Arey... arey... devarji... where are you going...??
Sanskaar: (smiles) Bhabhi... I guess I'm married... and right now I should be with my wife...
Pari: But you can't go in just like that... (folds her hand across her chest)...
Sanskaar: And you think... you can stop me alone...!!

"Who said that Bhabhi is alone..??", says someone from behind...

Sanskaar turns and gets shocked...

Sanskaar: (shocked) Ragini...!!
Ragini: (smiles widely) Yes... me... Kyun main nahi aa sakti...!! (comes and stands with Pari)
Sanskaar: But you got married today... Don't you think you should be with Laksh right now...
Ragini: Ohooo... he can wait for sometime... But an opportunity like this will not wait for me...
Sanskaar: Opportunity..??
Ragini: Aur nahin toh kya...?? Swara is my best friend... and getting my neg on her wedding night is my birth right...!! So, stop your melodrama and give us the neg... (forwards her hand towards him)
Sanskaar: Neg...!!
Ragini: Haan... 25000... nahin... nahin... 50,000 rupees...
Sanskaar: (shocked) 50,000...!!
Pari: Kya devarji... You can't do this much also for your sweet wife...
Sanskaar: I can do anything for her Bhabhi but right now I can do one thing atleast... I can reduce my problem...
Ragini: How...??
Sanskaar: (calls out loudly) Luckyyy...!!
Laksh: (comes there) What happened Bhai...??
Sanskaar: Bhai ke bachche... Please... reham kar mujhh par... and take away your wife...
Ragini: Haww... This is not fair... conspiracy against me...
Laksh: Cutiepie... Please come with me...
Ragini: Wait naa Laksh... first let me...
Laksh: (shouts) Oh My God... what's that...?? (points his finger in a direction)...
Ragini: (looks in that direction) What...??

Laksh smiles and picks up Ragini in his arms...

Laksh: (smiles widely) Bhai... Mission accomplished...!!
Sanskaar: Well done commando...!! Now you may proceed...
Laksh: (winks at Ragini) Let's go my Love...!!
Ragini: (frowns and makes faces) This is not fair...!!
Laksh: Everything is fair in Love and War...!! (and he takes Ragini away in his arms)...
Pari: Devarji... Ragini ko toh aapne bhaga diya but you won't be able to send me away...
Sanskaar: Really Bahbhi... but your thinking will surely change if you look behind...

Pari turns and finds Adarsh standing behind her... Adarsh smiles and picks up Pari in his arms... Pari makes faces...

Sanskaar: Offoo Bhabhi... do you really think that my Bhabhi will ask for something and I'll deny that...

Pari smiles and Sanskaar gives her 50,000 rupees as neg...

Sanskaar: And yes Bhabhi... Please share this with Ragini as well otherwise she'll eat everyone alive...

Pari nods with a smile and then Adarsh takes her away...

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

Sanskaar enters his room and finds Swara standing near the window gazing at the stars... Sanskaar goes near her and hugs her from behind with both his hands resting on her belly...

Sanskaar: (keeps his chin on her shoulder) What are you thinking...??
Swara: You know... I have heard that the people who die... they become stars... So, I was just trying to... ask my parents... whether they are happy or not...!!
Sanskaar: (holds Swara's shoulder and makes her face him) If you really want to find out that then you don't need to look at the stars... Just close your eyes and keep your hand near your heart... because that is the place where your parents are still alive...!! And if after closing your eyes you see their smiling face... then definitely they are happy... (Swara looks at Sanskaar)... Wanna try...?? Then just close your eyes...

Swara closes her eyes... Sanskaar holds her hand and keeps her palm near her heart... Swara feels as if she is seeing her parents... Both are smiling...

Swara's father: (smiles) Swara... Beta... I'm really sorry for leaving you behind... all alone... when you needed me the most... But I'm happy that finally you have found your true love... the person you were destined to be with... I know my daughter will face everything bravely and trust your love beta...!!
Swara's mother: (smiles) Be strong my daughter... You have a beautiful future ahead...But every rose has thorn bushes... So is Life...!! You are very lucky to have Sanskaar in your life...!! Just don't get afraid of obstacles... They are just meant to make you even stronger...!!
Both of them: (together) Just believe in yourself... and we know you can do it... God bless you beta...!! And remember... we are always with you... in your heart... and our blessings will always be with both of you...!!

And the images fade away... Swara opens her eyes... and hugs Sanskaar...

Swara: Thank you... Thank you so much...!!
Sanskaar: (breaks the hug and cups her face) Dosti aur pyaar mein... no sorry and no thank you...!!

Swara nods her head and he kisses on her forehead... Sanskaar lifts Swara in his arms and places her gently on the bed... He lies beside her and kisses on her forehead... then both her eyes... But even though she loves Sanskaar, flashes of her horrible past start disturbing her... Sanskaar is about to kiss on her lips... but looks at Swara who by now has closed her eyes tightly... and she tightens her grip on the bed sheet... Her lips shivering and drops of sweat are clearly visible on her forehead...

Sanskaar: (worried and touches Swara's face) Swara...!!

A few tear drops roll down from the corner of her eyes...

Swara: (opens her eyes) I'm sorry Sanskaar... I'm again disappointing you...!!
Sanskaar: Excuse me... what do you mean by again...!! Swara... You can never disappoint me...!!
Swara: But...!!
Sanskaar: What but...!! Listen Swara... I know what you have been through... and you also know that I haven't married you for all this... You can take as much time you want...!! I will never force you for anything...!!
Swara: (teary eyes) But today is our wedding night...!!
Sanskaar: Don't worry about that... Now you are with me... each and every night will be as beautiful as our wedding night... (winks at her)... And don't blame yourself for anything... (caresses her cheeks) I can wait for you all my life...!! And also my love... I was not about to do anything... (Swara looks at him confused)... (Sanskaar gestures towards the plaster on her hand)... First you need to take care of yourself...!! (wipes off her tears) You must be tired... Now just sleep...!!

Swara hugs Sanskaar... and rest her head on his chest... Sanskaar wraps his arms around her and both of them doze off...

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

Next morning... everyone is getting ready to leave for Kolkata...

Ap: (to Swasan and Raglak) Beta... we'll reach there within two three hours... after that you all must get ready as guruji is coming to bless all of you...
Sujata: Sanskaar... Laksh... you both must wear Kurta-Dhoti... and Swara... Ragini... you both must wear saree...
Sanlak: (shocked) Dhoti....!!
Sujata: Aur nahi toh kya...!!
Ap: It's our ritual beta... the newly married couple has to wear it...!!
Sanskaar: But Maa... what if it opens...!! Meri toh izzat ki dhajiya udd jaegi...!!
Sujata: Naa khulegi... Belt laga lena...!!
Laksh: Seriously Maa... Belt...!! With Dhoti...!!
Ap: Laksh... Now did you get from where have you inherited your sense of humor...!!

Sujata makes faces and everyone gives out a laugh... Later all leave for Kolkata...

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

THREE HOURS LATER...

All reach Kolkata... Sanskaar takes Swara to his room...

Sanskaar: Swara... this is our room...!!

Swara gets mesmerized on seeing such a beautiful place... The entire room has been decorated with the color theme of blue and white... and the fragrance of the roses kept in flower pots out in the balcony gives a refreshing feeling... a feeling in which one forgets all his pains and worries... Swara walks towards the balcony and smiles looking at the roses...

Sanskaar: (smiles) You like them...??
Swara: (touches the petals) They are beautiful Sanskaar... I love them...!!
Sanskaar: Okay Madam... now you take some rest...!! Have you forgotten that you are hurt...??
Swara: But Sanskaar... It's not hurting anymore...!! Even I feel that I don't need this plaster also...
Sanskaar: Achcha... Now you became a doctor also...!! I don't want to listen anything... Just sleep for a while... I'll ask Ragini to help you wear the saree for the evening...!!

Swara nods her head... Sanskaar helps her lie on the bed and covers her with a comforter...!! Swara closes her eyes and he kisses on her temple...

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

LATE AFTERNOON...

Swasan room... Ragini is helping Swara in getting ready... but she finds Swara lost in her thoughts...

Ragini: Swara...!!
Swara: (comes out of her thoughts) Haan...
Ragini: What are you thinking...??
Swara: Haan... nahin... wo... kuch nahin...
Ragini: (keeps her palm on Swara's) Swara... I'm just not your friend... I'm like your sister... You can share with me whatever you want to...!!
Swara: (takes a deep breath and smiles) I was thinking about Sanskaar...!!
Ragini: That I know... (smiles)... But what is it that is bothering you...??
Swara: Am I doing injustice with him...??
Ragini: (confused) Matlab...??
Swara: (tells her everything) He loves me so much... In fact, more than anyone else in the world... But I think I failed as his wife...!!
Ragini: Swara... look... the way you behaved is completely justified... Sanskaar also understands this... Any girl would have behaved like that... But now you are married... that too with the person who loves you the most in the world...!! He understands you and supports you in each and every situation...!! Trust your love Swara... and surely you will be able to come out of the dark shadows of your past...!!
Swara: (nods and smiles) I'll prove myself worthy of his love...!!
Ragini: (pats Swara's shoulder) That's like my Sherni...!! Now... come let's go... We need to see the preparations...

Swara nods and both of them leave...

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

After 15 minutes... Swara returns to her room... She opens the door and gets shocked on seeing the condition of the room... Cupboards all open... all the clothes lying on the floor... some scattered on the bed... AND... Sanskaar standing in the middle... just wearing his kurta and trying hell hard to get his dhoti at it's right place...

Swara: (shocked) Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: (looks at Swara) Hmmm... (couldn't speak as he's holding the corner of the dhoti in his mouth)...
Swara: What are you doing...??
Sanskaar: (holds the dhoti in front of her) Aaa... mmm... nnnn...
Swara: Rehne do... You and your alien language...!!
Sanskaar: Ughhh...!!
Swara: What...!! First of all, take the dhoti out of your mouth...!! Are you wearing it or trying to eat it...??
Sanskaar: (takes the dhoti out of his mouth) What the hell...!! Since last 15 minutes I'm trying to wear this thing... But I'm unable to get from where it's starting and where it is ending...!!
Swara: (starts laughing) But what were you searching in the cupboard...??
Sanskaar: Safety pin...!!
Swara: Safety pin...??
Sanskaar: Haan... prevention is better that cure...!! So I thought of using the safety pins to secure my dhoti...!! But when it's not getting at its right place... how am I going to pin it...!!
Swara: But you won't need safety pin for that...!! Come... let me help you...!!
Sanskaar: But how will you help me... Your hand is plastered...??
Swara: Don't worry... I can help you...!! (Swara comes near him)... Lift up your Kurta...!!
Sanskaar: What...?? What are you trying to do...?? Look madam... I'm married... and I love my wife so much...!! Main aisa waisa ladka nahin hoon...!!
Swara: Done...?? Ho gaya tumhara...?? Now don't waste my time... Guruji might come anytime... and I have to clean the room also...!!

Then Swara starts helping Sanskaar in wearing the Dhoti... But whenever her hand touches his stomach, Sanskaar starts laughing...

Swara: What is this Sanskaar... Stop laughing...!!
Sanskaar: He he he... It's not my fault wifey... Your touch is so ticklish...!!
Swara: Nautanki...!!
Sanskaar: Mrs. Nautanki...!!

Swara smiles... then later both of them come out for the pooja and for taking guruji's blessing...

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

NIGHT... after pooja, guruji leaves and everyone else sit there for dinner...

Dp: I think our newly wed couples need an outing...!!
Laksh: (loudly) Honeymoon...!!
Ragini: (kicks Laksh's feet) Laksh... shhh...!!
Laksh: (lowers his head) Opss... sorry...!!
Ap: (laughs out loudly) Haan... Laksh beta...!! We think that you all must go out somewhere...!!
Sujata: So... Is there any particular place where you all would like to go...??

Sanskaar looks at Swara... who has bowed down her head out of shyness... But Sanskaar thinks that she is reluctant to go...!! So, he decides to deny and cancel the trip for both of them...

Sanskaar: Aaa... Papa... Actually... I wanted to say something...
Dp: Haan beta...
Sanskaar: Actually wo...

Swara looks at Sanskaar and understands what he's about to do... She cuts him in between...

Swara: (says immediately and in one go) I don't want to go anywhere cold...!! (everyone looks at her)... (Swara speaks slowly rolling her eyes) Because... I have always been living at place like that...
Dp: (laughs) No problem... you all can choose somewhere warm... yet with a good weather and surrounding...
Sanskaar: (whispers in Swara's ear) Are you sure, you want to go...??
Swara: (smiles and nods her head) Hmmm...
Pari: Areyy devarji... kya khusur phusur ho rahi hai... secret talks and all... haan...!!
Sanskaar: No... no... it's nothing like that...!! Actually, I was thinking... How about Vegas...??
Laksh: Las Vegas...!!
Ragini: (exclaims) Perfect...!!
Sanskaar: And even I have been there... so there won't be any problem also...!!
Dp: Okay then... you all will be going to Vegas...!! Get ready and I'll book your tickets...!!

Everyone smiles and nods...

Episode ends...!!

Precap: Trip to Vegas...!!
