Next morning...

The first rays of the Sun makes its way inside Swasan's room and falls on Sanskaar's face... He opens his eyes with a glint of delight in them... Delight of winning his Love... delight of having his Swara finally out of the clutches of the past... He turns to his side to find the love of his life sleeping beside him with a beautiful smile playing on her lips... an abrupt smile spreads across Sanskaar's face seeing her smiling... and the way she is cuddling him like a baby... She is wearing his shirt and has wrapped her arms around his bare torso with her head resting peacefully on his chest... Sanskaar caresses her hairs... But his trance gets broken by a phone call...

Sanskaar reaches out for his mobile... with Swara still resting over him... he makes sure not to wake her up and wraps his arm around her shoulders... Then he looks at the mobile and finds out that it's Adarsh...

Sanskaar: Hello... haan bhai...!!
Adarsh: Good news Sanskaar... we won the deal...
Sanskaar: (a smile of satisfaction is clearly visible on his face) That's great bhai... Thank you for everything...!!
Adarsh: Oye... Ab itna bada ho gaya hai... that you are thanking me...!!
Sanskaar: (smiles) Achcha bhai... how much was their loss...??
Adarsh: It's almost 50 crores Sanskaar...!! They laid a great amount of money for getting the deal...
Sanskaar: And what about the next one...??
Adarsh: That will be a huge one Sanskaar... Are you sure you want to do this...?? The loss might even get doubled... This could enrage them to hell...!! And you know how dangerous Aditya Kashyap is...!!
Sanskaar: But I have to do it Bhai... I have to make him devoid of his powers so that he couldn't harm Swara again... (looks at Swara who is still sleeping in his arms unaware of whatever is happening)...
Adarsh: Okay... If you have decided to do so... then we are with you...!! But just be cautious... and don't take your opponents lightly...
Sanskaar: Don't worry bhai... I won't... I know what he is capable of... That's why I'm doing this...
Adarsh: Okay then for the next deal we'll need you here...
Sanskaar: Haan Bhai... just a day more... We have our flight tomorrow late afternoon and we will be back at home the day after...
Adarsh: Hmm... okay... then I'm hanging up... take care of yourself...!!
Sanskaar: Bye Bhai... see you soon...!!

Sanskaar cuts the call and takes a deep breath... He looks towards Swara and caresses her cheek...

Sanskaar: I'll never let anything happen to you...!!

He kisses her forehead... His gaze shifts to her pink lips... he leans towards her and gives her a peck... Swara smiles widely in her sleep feeling his feathery touch... Sanskaar smiles seeing her expressions... he leans down again and kisses her... this time a bit longer... this makes Swara stir her body a bit... but she drifts back to sleep again... Sanskaar adamant to wake her up continues teasing her... He kisses the nape of her neck opening the upper button of the shirt slowly... He slides the shirt off her shoulder and kisses her bare shoulder... This breaks Swara's sleep and she wiggles in his embrace... Sanskaar looks into her confused eyes giving a smirk...

Sanskaar: You know... your eyes talk a lot...!!
Swara: (still half sleepy) Huhhh...?? What were you doing Sanskaar you broke my sleep...??
Sanskaar: Areyy... what have I done...?? I'm such an innocent beautiful soul...!!
Swara: (makes face) Achcha... innocent beautiful soul... who was kissing me when I was asleep...!! How can you do that Sanskaar without my permission...!!
Sanskaar: This isn't fair... Why should I take permission for taking something which is already mine...!!
Swara: Done... Ho gaya tumhara...!! Then let me sleep...!!
Sanskaar: No Swara... get up...!!
Swara: No Sanskaar... I'm still sleepy...!!
Sanskaar: Okay then... just give me the thing I want... after that you can sleep...
Swara: What...??
Sanskaar: My shirt...!!
Swara: Huhhh...??
Sanskaar: My SHIRT...!!

And he gestures towards the shirt Swara is wearing... Swara looks at herself... she blushes hard on seeing herself just in Sanskaar's shirt... Suddenly her eyes fall on the open button... she quickly closes it...

Sanskaar: Aaa... aaa... aann... Why are you closing it again... you need to open all as I want my shirt back... (Swara looks at him in utter disbelief) Or shall I open it myself the way I did it before...!!

Swara looks at him with her eyes wide open... as if they might bulge out of the socket any time...

Swara: Y... y... you... did what...??
Sanskaar: (smiling playfully) Why Swara... Can't you hear me...!! (he moves towards her with slow and steady steps) Wait... let me show you once again...!!
Swara: (retreats backwards) No Sanskaar... stop...!!
Sanskaar: How can I stop Swara... when my wife is looking so damn tempting in my shirt...!!

Swara keeps on moving backwards when her back collides with the wall of the room... Sanskaar quickly covers up the distance between them... and blocks Swara by keeping his arms on either side of her...

Sanskaar: Where are you trying to go Mrs. Maheshwari...??
Swara: No where Mr. Maheshwari... Today is the last day we have here... So I must get ready as we have to go out...!!
Sanskaar: Why do I feel that you are trying to escape me...??
Swara: And why would I need to escape my husband...??

Saying this she throws her arms around his neck pulling him closer... Sanskaar gets startled with her sudden change of behavior... Swara leans closer to him and kisses on his bare shoulder...

Sanskaar: (startled) Swara... what are you doing...??
Swara: Shhh... (brings her lips closer to his ears and whispers in a husky tone) I'm romancing with my husband... Any problem...!!

She kisses his ear lobes... Sanskaar gulps... She leans towards his lips and stops just a few inches away... She smirks seeing herself getting an upper hand on him... And getting the right opportunity she pushes him away and runs towards the bathroom...

Sanskaar: (shocked n confused) Swara... this is cheating...!! You tricked me...!!
Swara: (shuts the door and smiles) What cheating...?? Mr. Maheshwari... everything is fair in love n war... and this is LOV...AR
Sanskaar: Lov..ar...??
Swara: (opens the door slightly and pops her head out) Haan... Love + War...!!

Saying this she closes the door again... Sanskaar smiles at her childishness...

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

Swara comes out after taking a bath... wearing a white dress down to her knees looking beautiful... and the water dripping off the end of her wet hairs increases her beauty all the more... Sanskaar gets awestruck seeing Swara like that... To him that's the most beautiful sight ever... Sanskaar shrugs off all the ideas coming to his mind and takes a deep breath...

Swara: What happened Sanskaar...??
Sanskaar: Why are you looking so damn beautiful yaar that it's forcing me to change my mind...!! (Swara comes near him) No... don't... come... near...!! Just go and check whether Lucky and Ragini are ready or not...!!
Swara: Why...??
Sanskaar: Don't ask any questions Swara... otherwise if I change my mind then your whole surprise will get ruined...!!
Swara: (excitedly) Surprise...!! What surprise...??
Sanskaar: If I'll tell you then it won't be a surprise my love...!!
Swara: (comes near him and starts pleading like a baby blinking her eyes in a rhythm) Then also tell me naa... Haa... haa... Please...

Sanskaar smiles looking at her cute expressions....

Sanskaar: No... no... no... I won't fall for these expressions this time...!! Just go... by that time I'll get ready... (he picks up the towel and moves towards the washroom)...
Swara: (makes a puppy face and sticks out her tongue to him) Okay...!!

She gets ready and leaves the room tapping her feet on the floor...!!

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

RAGLAK'S ROOM...

Laksh is getting ready...

Laksh: (shouts) Ragini... How much more time will you take...??
Ragini: (replies back from inside the washroom) Just 10 minutes Laksh...!!
Laksh: (gets irritated) What 10 minutes yaar... since last one hour you are saying 10 minutes...
Ragini: (opens the door getting angry) What is it Laksh...?? I'm getting ready naa...

Laksh gets spell-bounded on seeing his wife in a pink crop top hugging her body perfectly and landing just above her belly with a short skirt making her waist visible...

Ragini: (waves her hand in front of his face) Hello Laksh... (but he is still lost) Lucky...!! (still no response)... (this time she shouts) Oyee Idiot...!!
Laksh: (comes back to his sense) Haan... nahin... wohh... main... wait... what did you call me...!! (Ragini gives a sheepish smile) Idiot...!! Madam I'm your husband and you are calling me an idiot...!!

He holds her bare waist and pulls her closer to him... Ragini leaves a gasp as her body crashes with his... Laksh starts caressing her waist slowly... Ragini blushes hard... Laksh cups her face and kisses her forehead... then he leans towards her lips and is about to kiss her when Ragini says loudly...

Ragini: Sanskaar... aap yahan...!!
Laksh: (leaves Ragini immediately) Haan Bhai... wohh... sharma ji ki file...!!

Ragini starts laughing seeing Laksh's condition... and sooner she did that Laksh realizes that she played a prank...

Laksh: (holds her even more tightly) Achcha madam... so you are playing with me...!!

Ragini wiggles to get free... but Laksh holds her even more tightly...

Ragini: Laksh... leave me... The door is open... Someone might come...
Laksh: No one will come...!! (he leans down to kiss her)
Ragini: (looks at the door) Laksh... look... Swara is coming... Leave me...
Laksh: Na... na... I won't believe you this time...
Ragini: Laksh... I'm saying the truth... she is really coming...!!

By that time Swara reaches there...

Swara: (opens the door and shuts her eyes immediately) Shit... guys at least you should have closed the door...

Laksh gets startled and leaves Ragini immediately...

Laksh: Swara... I mean... Bhabhi...
Swara: (giggles) But don't worry... I haven't seen anything...!!
Ragini: No Swara... it's nothing like that...
Swara: (opens her eyes n smiles) Actually I came to tell you that Sanskaar is waiting for you both... So just come when you get ready...
Ragini: We are ready... we are coming...
Swara: Areyy nahin nahin... first finish what you were doing... we can wait till then... (keeps hand on her eyes) And don't worry I won't see anything... just like the last time...!!
Ragini: Swaraaa...
Swara: (laughs) Okay... okay... I'm going... both of you come soon...

Swara leaves smiling...

Ragini: (hits Laksh's stomach with her elbow) See... you never listen to me...!!

Laksh rubs his stomach making a puppy face...!! Later both of them leave to join Swasan...

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

Swara: (holds Sanskaar's hand) Sanskaar where are we going...??
Sanskaar: Have some patience my love...!! It's a surprise...

They reach near the main entrance of the resort where Karan is waiting for them with a car...

Ragini: Laksh... are we going in a car...??
Laksh: Yup... a long drive... to be precise a drive of four hours and we'll reach our destination...
Ragini: But where are we going...??
Sanskaar: Offoo... both of you are so impatient... You will find about it when we reach there...!!
Karan: Sanskaar... are you sure you don't need a driver...??
Sanskaar: Of course not Karan... I have been there before... so I can manage...!!
Karan: Okay... I have booked rooms for you all in a hotel over there... I'll message you the address...!!
Sanskaar: Thanks yaar... (hugs him) See you tomorrow...!!
Karan: (smiles) Bye... Take care...!!

All four take their seat... Swasan sit in front and Raglak at the back... They bid goodbye to Karan... and start their journey..

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

After a drive of almost four and a half hour they reach there... Los Angeles... To be exact... El Matador State Beach...It's almost evening... Sanskaar stops the car...

Sanskaar: Guys... we have reached... From here we have to go by walk...

All four start walking... and within a few minutes they reach a small yet beautiful beach... covered by rocky outcrops...

Sanlak: A small surprise for our beautiful wives... (hold their ears) and sorry for teasing you both regarding your dress on that day...
Laksh: I never intended to hurt you Ragini...
Sanskaar: (walks towards Swara) And I love you the way you are... you are just perfect for me...

Swaragini smile looking at the sweet gesture of their husbands... Sanlak hold their hands...

Sanskaar: (holding Swara's hand) Come with me...!!

Sanlak take Swaragini to a place lying in the cupped hands of the rocks... they spread a mat underneath it and sit there...

Laksh: Just wait for a few moments and you can see one of the most mesmerizing scenes ever...!!
Ragini: What is it Laksh...??
Laksh: Ohoo... Just wait naa...!!

Sanskaar lays his head on Swara's lap and points in a direction...

Sanskaar: There...!!

Swara shifts her gaze towards the direction Sanskaar is pointing... and she gets dumbstruck to see the scene in front of her eyes... The most beautiful Sunset she has ever witnessed... The whole place gets warmly lit up by the Sun trying to shine its best before setting... The sky gets dyed pomegranate pink... then it turns orange, then red and finally dark blue... Swara gets excited and watches with unwavering gaze, as the fiery red orb of light slowly sinks beneath the horizon... the sea water gets lit up with a tint of red and orange... and playing hide-and-seek with the clouds the sun finally vanishes from their line of sight...

Their trance gets broken when they hear Ragini shouting... All this while when everyone was busy watching the sunset... Laksh keeps on teasing Ragini... holding and pinching her waist...

Ragini: Laksh... you duffer...!! I won't leave you today...

Laksh gives a wide grin and runs away... Ragini too gets up and runs after him... Swasan smile seeing them...

Sanskaar: Still behaving like kids... who'll say that they are married...!!
Swara: Look who's talking... who himself keeps on behaving childishly...
Sanskaar: Excuse me... when did I behave childishly...??
Swara: Every time...!!
Sanskaar: (gives a naughty smile) Ohoo... then my wife wants me to behave like a grown up man... Wait... I'll show you... (he starts moving towards her)...
Swara: No... no... no... not here Sanskaar... not here...

And she runs away... with Sanskaar chasing her from behind...!! After a short chase of the tom and jerry Sanskaar gets a hold of Swara... he holds her from back and turns her around...!!

Swara: (laughing) Sanskaar...
Sanskaar: Hmm...
Swara: I'm hungry...!!
Sanskaar: Oh shit... I completely forgot about it... We even have a dinner date prepared for you both...

Sanskaar calls out Raglak and all four reach a side of the beach where two dinner tables are set with a candle-light dinner... Swaragini get super happy seeing it... They have their dinner... and then both the couples set out for a walk on the beach...

Swasan are walking along side the beach... entangling their fingers when all of a sudden a girl comes and keeps hand on Sanskaar's eyes from behind... Swara gets shocked seeing this...

Girl: Guess who...??
Sanskaar: (touches the girl's hands... this angers Swara even more) Namrata...!!

The girl gives a wide smile...

Namrata: Hii...
Sanskaar: Hii... what a pleasant surprise...!!
Namrata: What are you doing here...??
Sanskaar: (smiles shyly) Aaa... mmm... for my honeymoon...
Namrata: What you got married...??
Sanskaar: (holds Swara's hand) Meet her... My wife... Mrs. Swara Sanskaar Maheshwari... and Swara she is my college friend Namrata... we were in the same batch...
Namrata: (forwards her hand for a handshake) Hii... nice meeting you...!!
Swara: (gives a fake smile) Hii... same here...!!

Sanskaar senses that Swara is getting jealous... he smiles in his mind and thinks...

Sanskaar: (thinks) Mrs. Maheshwari... you cheated me in the morning naa... Now it's my turn...!!
Namrata: Come naa Sanskaar... Many of our friends are here...

Just then a few more of their friends come there with a wine bottle in their hand...

A boy: Areyy Sanskaar... what a pleasant surprise man... Come join us naa...
Namrata: That's what I'm saying...

She holds Sanskaar's hand... and the boy keeps the wine bottle there and drags Sanskaar along with them... Swara keeps on looking at them with a glare... She looks that many girls come and hug Sanskaar... and Sanskaar reciprocates them back with a smile... Her blood starts boiling and involuntarily her hand reaches out to the wine bottle... She gets so enraged that she drinks the entire bottle in one go... As soon as she finishes it all... she starts coughing and panting heavily...

Swara: I don't understand how the drink this thing...It tastes so bad...!!

Just after a few minutes Sanskaar returns after bidding a good bye to his friends... He comes and gets shocked on seeing Swara laughing like an idiot...

Sanskaar: (slowly) Swara why are you laughing like this...??
Swara: (smiles and takes a hiccup) Ta... da... (she takes out the bottle which she has been hiding behind her back)...
Sanskaar: (gets shocked to hell) Swara... you drank it all...!!

Swara nods her head and keeps on nodding it... Sanskaar holds her face in between his palms...

Sanskaar: Swara... stop... stop nodding your head... (Swara starts crying) Shh... shhh... Swara... why are you crying now...!!
Swara: You are very bad...!!
Sanskaar: Now... what have I done...??
Swara: You left me n went with ur friends... You don't love me naa...!!
Sanskaar: (cups her face) I love you naa baba...!!
Swara: Jhooth... Liar...!! (she frees herself and runs away)
Sanskaar: (runs after her and calls from behind) Swara.. stop... where are you going...??

Sanskaar takes out his mobile and dials Laksh's number...

Sanskaar: Hello Lucky...
Laksh: (hears Sanskaar panting heavily) Bhai... what happened... are you okay...??
Sanskaar: Yaa Lucky... I'm fine... wohh Swara...
Laksh: Swara... what happened to her...??
Sanskaar: Actually I met a few my friends... I was busy talking to them when she drank a full bottle of wine... and now she is completely out of her senses and is running here and there... And I'm chasing her... So, you both go to the hotel... I'm sending you the address...!! And haan take the car... We'll manage our way back...
Laksh: That's okay bhai... We can hire a taxi... You need the car more now...!! We are leaving now... and call us if you need anything...!!
Sanskaar: Okay... bye...

He cuts the call and sends the hotel's address to Laksh... then he starts finding Swara and finds her sitting under a tree... He goes near her...

Sanskaar: Swara... come let's go...!!
Swara: (makes a pout face) No...
Sanskaar: (holds Swara's hand) Come Swara...!!

Swara starts crying... grabbing the attention of all the people around... Everyone looks at Sanskaar with a suspicion...

Sanskaar: Hushhh... Swara... stop crying...!! Yaar pitwaogi kya...!! Everyone is looking at me as if I'm doing some crime...
Swara: You are very bad...
Sanskaar: Ofoo Swara... please not again...!!
Swara: Why not...?? You left me alone now... and in the morning when I was sleeping you kiss...
Sanskaar: (keeps hand on Swara's mouth) Swara... stop... Okay... do you need anything...!!

Swara eyes shine with joy and she nods her head like an innocent baby...

Sanskaar: What...!!

Swara tries to say something but Sanskaar still has his hand on her mouth... Swara hits on his hand...

Sanskaar: Auchhh...

Swara smiles sheepishly...

Sanskaar: Okay... what do you want...??
Swara: (jumps in excitement) Ice-cream...!!
Sanskaar: What... Now...??

Swara starts sobbing again...

Sanskaar: Okay fine... now don't start again.. come let's get you your ice-cream...!!

They both walk towards the ice-cream stall...

Sanskaar: One ice-cream please... (Swara immediately shows two fingers right in front of his face)... (Sanskaar gets startled) Okay... two ice-creams please...

The vendor gives two ice-creams and Swara holds them... But again she shows three fingers to Sanskaar...

Sanskaar: What... You want more...!! (Swara nods her head)... (to the vendor) One more please... (Swara shows five fingers)... Okay... three more...

The vendor gives three more... Swara tries to show her ten fingers at a time... and all the five ice-creams she was holding come crashing down to the ground...

Sanskaar: (irritated) Swara...!!

Swara sits on the road in front of her ice-creams... with a pout face... Sanskaar turns to pay off to the vendor... and when he turns back he sees Swara running... Sanskaar calls her in frustration...

Sanskaar: Ohh God...!! How much this girl will make me run...!! Oooo Ms. P.T.Usha slow down...!!

Swara keeps on running singing a song...

La la la... la la la
La la la... la la la

Sanskaar comes and holds her from behind... Swara turns and sings seeing Sanskaar...

(Swara)Zara sa jhoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Zara sa ghoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara pulls Sanskaar closer holding her collar)Aa tujhe choom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re baba na
(Swara runs away again)Main chali
Banke hawa...
(Sanskaar runs after her)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

(Swara)Zara sa jhoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Zara sa ghoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Aa tujhe choom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re baba na
(Swara)Main chali
Banke hawa...
(Sanskaar)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

Swara keeps running on the streets and starts dancing...

(Swara)Mausam yeh be-imaan
Masti ka yeh samaan
Roko O logon zameen pe
Girne laga aasmaan
Thumak thumak ke jhuloongi
Main udke gagan ko chhuloongi
Main chali
Banke hawa...
(Sanskaar)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

(Swara)Zara sa jhoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Zara sa ghoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Aa tujhe choom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re baba na

She runs towards the beach and starts playing with the water... Sanskaar reaches there... and she starts splashing water on him...

(Swara)Thandi thandi pawan
Jalta hai yeh badan
Jee chahta hai bana loon
Tujhko apna sajan
Hua nahin yeh pehle kabhi
Meri chaal badal gayi abhi abhi
Main chali
Banke hawa...
(Sanskaar)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

(Swara)Zara sa jhoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Zara sa ghoom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re na re na
(Swara)Aa tujhe choom loon main
(Sanskaar)Arre na re baba na

Sanskaar gets totally exhausted after chasing her for an hour... Just then an idea strikes him and he smirks thinking of it...

(Sanskaar)Jaati hai tu kahan
Jaaneman Jaanejaan
(Pulls Swara holding her waist) Ladki hai tu khoobsurat
Ladka main naujawaan
Tujhe gale laga loon aa
Palkon mein bitha loon aa
Ho gaya
Mujhe nasha...
(Swara)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

(Sanskaar)Zara sa jhoom loon main
(Swara)Arre na re na re na
(Sanskaar)Zara sa ghoom loon main
(Swara)Arre na re na re na
(Sanskaar)Aa tujhe choom loon main
(Swara)Arre na re baba na
(Sanskaar)Ho gaya
Mujhe nasha...
(Swara)Rabba mere
Mainu bacha...

And Sanskaar picks up Swara in his arms in the bridal style and carries her to the car...

Swara: (in a semi-conscious state) You are so bad Sanskaar... you didn't even give me a single kiss today... (Sanskaar smiles listening to her) What's the use of the kiss while I was sleeping... (and saying this she drifts into deep sleep)...

Sanskaar places her on the car's seat and gives a light kiss on her lips... Swara smiles...

Sanskaar: (kisses her forehead) With each and every passing moment... you make me fall even more for you... I love you so much...
Swara: (mumbles in her sleep) I love you Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar smiles and then drives off to the hotel...!!
