Preparations for the party started in full swing. Durga Prasad made it sure that the party should be grand. Ragini being ideal mahaan Bahu of Anupurna  was roaming around her and doing whatever she asked her to do. The servents were told to arrange the mansion with lights and flowers . Every one was happy about the party but someone was upset.
Swara was sitting in the corner of guest room looking outside the window . She was trying to nurse her broken heart by looking at the sunset .
She had so many questions in her mind...and she was still not completely over with last night's nightmare. But the thing right now which was hurting her more is that none of the Maheswaris informed her of such big success and the big celebration! It was she... who herself found out about the happy news.
No one even cared to tell her about the Party Tonight!
Maybe no one actually no longer care about her.
They still have not forgiven her for her mistakes! Well she doesn't even expect to...the whole Maheswaris must be tolerating her only cause she was still Sanskaar' s wife...otherwise she might not even existed for them.
Swara sighs...
She had gone out this morning to find some important information about Adhrash Bhaiyaa and when she returned she got to know about the celebration from one of the servants.
And the most wierd fact ever is nor did Ragini thought to inform her about this.
Swara slowly gets up from the window side as she realises so much has changed...
Just then a knock on the door broke her trance.
Swara looks at the door and finds out Anupurna standing at the door smiling at her, holding few shopping bags in her hand.
Swara smiles weakly- Badi Maa...App...
Anuparna enters the room grinning- Swara Aj mein yeha tumhe ek achi khabar dene aya hu!
Swara stares at her nervously...as she wonders what Anupurna is talking about!

Anupurna - I think abhi tak tumhe pata chal chukka hai...Maheshwari and Sons Company phir se Top mein achuka hai! Aur Ye Sab Sanskar ki waja se hua hai...Toh mein chahti hu Aj Ki Party Mein Tum Ye Saree Pehnke Ao!
Anupurna hands over a shopping bag which has a saree box in it.
Swara stares at Anupurna feeling confused- Par Maa...
Anupurna stubbornly- Par War Kuch Nahi...bass tum yeh Saree Pehnogi! Aur ha ye Diamond ki necklace bhi tumhare liya!
Swara stares at the Jewellery box feeling completely shocked .
Swara with hesitation- Maa Ye Sab...Iss Sabki Kya Jarurat Hai! Wase bhi mujhe nahi lagta mom ko acha lage ga I mean...mera party mein hona!
Anupurna strictly- Bass Swara! Mein kuch nahi sunna chahti...aur ye tum kya keh rahi ho! Sanskar tumhara pati hai...ussi ki waja se ye sab hua hai! Tum uski khushi mein shamil nahi hona chahoge? Aur raha Sawal Sujata ki! Mein usse baat karungi! Please mana maat karna! I know ki bohot kuch hogya hai...aur sab tumhe blame karte hai! Par mein janti hu...tumne jaan puchke kuch nahi kia! Sanskar Sujata ka apna beta hai...bohot pyar karti hai woh Sanskar se! Usse thoda wakt do...
Swara sadly smiles- Badi Maa I have no complaints against you all! Ab saab toh mere apne hai...bass mein kisika dil nahi dukhana chahta!
Anupurna lovingly touches Swara's cheek- Trust me you are not hurting anyone!
Swara smiles.
*********

Swara does the last touch up on her make up. She has wore a beautiful black saree with silver embroidery along with sleeveless blouse. The Saree was gorgeous but it was bit revealing types...the back of the blouse had very low neck revealing her creamy skin. It's not like she is not used to backless blouses but this one had quite very deep low cut at the back. Anyways Anupurna has given it to her and she doesn't want to make her upset. The only thing she wanted at this moment was Sanskar to be with her , fit and fine! While thinking about Sanskar,  Swara remembered last night nightmare! It still sends shiver down her spine.
Swara takes a deep breath and decides to go down as guests must be arriving any time soon.
Just as she went out of the room, all of sudden she hears Sujata calling her out! Her voice sounded very angry and hurt!
Sujata annoyingly- Chodi Tu Kithe Jaa Rahi Hai!
Swara slowly turns around and finds Sujata standing angrily and staring at her with" I will kill you look"
Swara stammers- Mom...actually...baadi..baadi maa...ne kaha hai ki aj party hai na toh mein bas ready hoke...I mean...niche jaa rahi thi!
Sujata shouts making Swara jerk at sudden reaction- Kyaaa? Thare Dimag Kharab hogya kya? Tu niche jaoyegi? Tu yeha rahegi...Athe apne kamre mein! Thare ne Sanskar ke bare mein bilkul na socha? Wase bhi kitna mushkil se manaya hai chode ko ki usse thoda Phreshness (freshness) ki jarurat hai isiliye party mein ana parega!
Swara shocked- Sanskar bhi ayega party mein?
Sujata frustrated- Ha aur thare ko bohot achi tarah se pata he...Sanskar kese ghabra jata he thare ko dekh ke! Tu kabhi humare chore ko chen se nahi jeene dega...
Swara sadly- I am sorry mom! Badi maa ne mujhe ye nahi bataya ki Sanskar will also come! Aur mujhe nahi laga ki...
Sujata interrupts- Kya nahi laga tujhe ha? Ki mahre chore apne hi kaam ki kamyabi pe niche na ayega?
Swara- Nahi mom its not like that...mein toh bas ese hi...
Sujata interrupts again- Bass...Kuch Nahi Sunna Mahre Ko! Tu chup chap apne kamre mein jaa...aur niche nahi ana!
Just then Anupurna speaks from no where- Ye sab kya horaha he Sujata?
Sujata and Swara looks at the direction from where the voice came.
Anupurna comes to then and stares at them angrily- Ye sab kya hai sujata? Kya chal raha hai ye sab!
Sujata annoyed- Jiji...iss chori ko humare khusiyon bardasht nahi hoti! Aur app bhi Jiji...Apne isko kiu party mein ane ko kaha?
Anupurna calmly- Sujata Swara Sanskar ki patni he...woh party mein nahi ayegi toh kaun ayegi! Ye bechari toh chahta bhi nahi tha ki woh aye...mene usse...
Sujata interrupts feeling more angry- Toh Acha Tha Na...App Mahre Ko Batao Sanskar Isse Dekhte hi kitni ajeeb se harkat karna shuru karte hai! App ye chahte hai ki mahre chohra sabke samne bezzat ho?
Anupurna sadly- Esa nahi hai sujata...
Swara had enough of all these- Maa...Mom Sahi keh rahi hai! Sanskar mujhe dekh kar khush nahi hoga...woh aur bhi pareshan hojayega! Mein chahta hu ki aj woh khush rahe...mere ane ye na ane se kya hoga! Sanskar ki waja se aj ye company age bara hai...aur usse pura haq hai apne khushiyan manane ki chahe woh kisi bhi haal mein ho!
Anupurna shocked- Nahi Swara...Tum Uski Patni Ho Tumhe Bhi Iss Khushi Mein Shamil Hona Chahiye!
Sujata angrily- Ha Mahre Khushiyan Toh Kisi Ko bhi Bardasht nahi hoti! Iss Chori ki kaand ki waja se Mahre Sanskar ka ye haal hua hai! Mein toh kheti hu chori tu apni Baadi Chali Jaa kuch dino keliya!
Swara was shocked and hurt at the words of Sujata.
She never thought Sujata has started to hate her so much.
Anupurna stunned- Sujata tum hosh mein ho?
Before Anupurna could complete the sentence Swara ran from there and went into her room locking herself into it.
While Sujata left from there stomping her feet...leaving Anupurna upset at the turn of events.
*********

The Party started with full swing. Guests started to arrive. People from business related  joined the party.
Durga Prasad was busy in welcoming the guests along with Ram when just then they heard Sanskaar's voice- Mom...Yeha...Kkya...Hmmm...Kya Hone wala hai!
Ram looked at his son. He was looking so cute and handsome in blazer and white shirt. The only thing was that if he was just fine and sane like before.
Ram smiled at his son who looked at him and then to Sujata.
Sujata grinning- Yeha bohot kuch...hone wala hai! Thare ko bas enjoy karni hai!
Suddenly Sanskar started to pull the sleeves of his blazer annoyingly- Ammm...Hmmm...yeh...u..uttarna hai! G..Garmi lag rahi hai...Hmmm...
Sujata stops him from doing the childish act- Nahi...Mera Chora isme bohot acha lag raha hai! Tu nahi utarega isse Sanskar!
Sanskar irritated- Nahiii...nahi...garmi...
Just then DP spoke- Sanskar! Tum Party mein ho...Party mein ache bache ki tarah pesh ate he! Aur tum humare ache bache ho!
Sanskar stares at DP nervously feeling bit scared as he held Sujata's hand tightly.
DP sadly stares at Sanskar and then put his hand on Sanskar head as if giving ashirvad. Sanskar doesn't react.
Suddenly DP eyes fell on a person who just arrived at the party.
DP smiles- Chalo Sanskar Humare Saat Aoo!
Sanskar looks at that man to whom DP indicates .
Both DP and Ram walks towards the man along with Sanskar.
DP smiling- Mr.Malhotra! Kese hai app? Inhe toh app jante hi hai...Sanskar Maheshwari humara dusra beta!
Mr. Malhotra looks at Sanskaar with a look with nobody understand- Hello Mr Sanskar!  (Looking at DP) Inhe thoda dimagi bimari hui hai na? Phir bhi apne inko itni bari party mein...
DP- Hume Humare Izzat Ki Koi Parwah Nahi Hai! Humare Bete Ki Wajase Aj Hum Iss Status Pe Aye Hai...
Mr.Malothra shrugged - Well that's so sweet of You Mr. Maheshwari! I must say apke beta Sanskar Waki Bohot Achi MasterMind Hai!
Malothra smirked as he looked at Sanskar who seemed unaffected while DP frowned.
Malothra - Mera Matlab...Bohot Talent Hai Isme! Kisi Ko Bhi Baazi Marr Sakti Hai!
DP smiled while Malothra glanced at Sanskar.
*********

Hurt, betrayed, confused, pain, insult ...Swara was going through lots of emotions. She stares at the empty sky with few twinkling stars...thinking about everything happening to her! Her life is a curse...One or the other way...she has always got pain in her life.
Swara sniffs as she remembers Sujata's hurtful words towards her. She could understand Sujata 's pain but why couldn't Sujata understand her?
She hopes badly to get her Sanskar back...the one who understands her and will be always by her side!
**********

DP and Malothra were soon engrossed in some business discussion when all of sudden the lights went off in whole Maheshwari Mansion.
Everyone became panic at sudden occurrence!
But Laksh handled them saying- Ladies and Gentlemen! Please Calm Down!  I think there are some electrical problem...Generator will be on in few moments.
***********

Swara rubbed off her tears from her cheeks. Suddenly she realised the whole house is looking completely dark as if there is no light. Even in the outhouse there was no light.
Swara in mind- Ye Pura Ghar ko kya hogya! Lights kiu off hai?
Swara decides to check it herself.
As she entered the room from the balcony...her room looked more dark than ever.
Swara- Oh God! There is no light in the room too...I can't see anything! Mera...phone...phone kaha hai!
Swara slowly started to walk trying to imagine things by touching them in this darkness. All of sudden she tripped on leg of a chair and lost her balance.
She was about to fall but instead she bumped into someone making that person loose the balance and fall .
The person secured the arms around her bare waist making her hold his cloth which was supposed to be shirt tightly.
A Whimp escaped from her mouth as both of them fell on the bed. She was on top of that person. Due to the sudden fall her cheeks rubbed against the person 's cheeks making her shocked  .
Swara hands were on the arms of the persons...more precisely it felt like biceps!
Swara glanced at the face from the corner of the eye as she could feel the breath close to her.
Swara ran her hands along the arms as she tried to feel...she could guess the person was a man.
Due to her tracing on his arm...the man tightened his hold around her waist making her gasp. She knows him! She has felt him before...but Swara's mind was lost somewhere else! Her mind was on this stranger...His touch was making her feel special. His hand ran on her bare back making her shiver under his touch. They could feel each other's breath very closely.
Swara was lost in him...They didn't realise for how long they were in this posture.
The person slowly held her from her hairs as pulled him close to him.
Their faces were almost close...
Swara closed her eyes!
Just then she snapped open her eyes as their trance broke when both of them heard some noises outside. Swara widen her eyes realising what the heck was just going to happen ...
But before she could react that person pushed her aside with force that she landed on other side of the bed with thud.
He then jumped off hurriedly and went towards her dining table.
Seeing a stranger in her room , Swara started to scream - Who are you?  What are you doing in my room!
The person stopped at his place.
Swara got up and started to march towards him as she began to shout angrily - Who the hell are you! For what purpose you came here! I am gonna call everyone ! Just wait...
Before she could complete the sentence, the man all of sudden pulled her harshly by her arms letting her whimp in pain - Ouucchhh!
He pushed her against the wall roughly as twisted her arms behind while holding tightly on to her.
Swara screamed - Ahhh...Maaa...
The man pushed her more to the wall as he became more close ...His body touching her delicate one.
He quickly put his palm over  her mouth stopping her from talking further.
He hushed her dangerously as he brought his face more close to her making her scared " Ssshhh..."
Swara looked at him with her wide eyes feeling horrified.
The moon light passed into the room giving a dim glow inside the dark room.
With help of dim moon light Swara could see his dark features  bit...and it felt she saw him somewhere else!
Swara kept on looking at him with panic striken face till he slowly removes his palm from her mouth. Swara had actually stopped breathing. She was shocked and frozen at her place.
He left her hand slowly which he had twisted at back making her sigh in relief. Her hand was paining...he held her way too much tight.
He quickly backed off from her while she remained frozen at her place. She kept staring at the dark figure standing a bit far...
The person quickly went to her dressing table opened one drawer of it and took out something and fled from there like air...
Swara kept looking through the darkness at the door from where he left...
She whispered as if to herself - Sanskar...
Suddenly she realises what she just said...she became panic!
Swara stammers - Sanskar! That...person was Sanskar!
No How?
Swara looked towards the door through darkness as she ran out of the room screaming - Sanskar...Sanskar...
********
Laksh mutters- Shit! Abhi tak Generator on kiu nahi hua? Lagta kuch major problem hai!
Ram with torch in his hand - Laksh...Sanskar ko dekha kya?
Laksh confused - Chachaji woh toh apke saat the na...
******

Swara ran through the corridors. She could se many people using their mobile phone lights as the light still didn't come but there was no Sanskar in admist of the people.
Swara calls out nervously - Sanskar!
Suddenly the light went on...showering brightness everywhere.
Swara agitated - Ye Sanskar kaha gya...I am 100 percent sure woh Sanskar hi tha! Lekin woh mere saat esa kiu behave kar raha hai!
Swara calls out- Sanskar...
She got interrupted once again as she bumped on Sujata...
Sujata looks at Panic striken face of Swara with shock.
Sujata - Tu Athe Kya Kar Rahi Hai!
Swara without thinking started to blabber - Mom...Mom! Sanskar...Sanskar Mera Room mein aya tha! Woh...usme kuch problem hai! Apne usse kahi dekha? Mom kuch gadbad hai!
Sujata interrupts- Chup kar Chori! Arre Athe Sanskar Kaha se Ayega...woh niche hai! Tune koi Sapna dekha hoga...
Swara stammering - No Mom woh Sanskar tha! I am very sure of it!
Sujata glares at Swara and pulls her along with her.
Sujata brings her near railings of upstairs and points at Sanskar who was standing with Laksh and drinking juice making Swara shocked.
Sujata angrily - Yeh Dekh! Athe Hai Sanskar...Tune koi Sanskar ka bhooth dekha hai ka!
Swara stares at Sanskar being completely shocked.
Sujata leaves from there while muttering - Pata nahi ye chori ka dimag kharab hai ye ek number ka nautanki hai!
********

Swara walking through the corridor while thinking about the earlier incident. What is happening! How can she hallucinate Sanskar! She actually literally felt him! How can be she so wrong!

Her thoughts got interrupted when DP called her from back- Swara Beta! Kaha the tum...niche sablog tumhara intezar kar rahe hai! Aur tum yeha?
Swara nervously- Bade papa woh...
DP smiles before she could complete her sentence- Acha tum mera kuch important company ke files locker se lekar ao...Mere study room se! Jaldi...
DP handed over a key to her and left.
********

With a hand full of files, Swara was walking through the corridor. When suddenly from no where someone bumped into her making all the files fall on the ground.
Swara furiously turned around to shout but stopped in the mid seeing the person- Dekh kar nahi chal...Sanskar?
Sanskar stares at her all scared- Sholly...mene...hmmm...tumhe nahi dekha!
Swara calming down- it's okay!
Swara kneels down to pick all the files up when Sanskar held her hand suddenly- Hmmm...mein..kardunga...hmm...
Swara suspiciously looks at Sanskar- Nahi Sanskar! Mein karlungi na...tum rehne do!
Sanskar angrily- Nahi...hmmm...mein..mein...karunga!
Swara didn't say anything and let him pile up the files.
Sanskar handed over all the files to her grinning stupidly.
Swara smiled at his innocence.
She left from there with the files while Sanskar stared at two files left on the floor.
********

Party was in full swing...Swara didn't stay in party much. As Sujata was highly annoyed already seeing her downstairs. She excused herself saying she was not feeling well.
A big celebration was yet to happen. As far she knows Bade Papa gonna sign a new big deal with A Popular Company from London.
She wishes for all the good wishes for this new deal.
Swara was at the outhouse. Every night she goes there to water the plants as Gardening was Sanskar' s hobby.
She took the watering can and was about to water the plants...when suddenly she heard a voice!
Swara became alert...no it was not voice! It was two voices! Seems like a deep discussion was going on.
Swara followed the voices and she reached at the back side of mansion. And She Got Shock Of Her Life!
Mr. Malothra was standing with a tall man whose back was facing Swara. But from the body structure she could easily identify who was it! The greatest shock was the person was handing a huge amount of money to Mr.Malothra.
Swara hears the person telling- Here is your money! I have given you the exact amount you wanted! Now get me those papers signed by tonight at any cost!
Swara panics...she heard this voice somewhere! No this is not possible! This can't be him!
Swara looked at them in disbelief as the conversation continues " But...To disassociate Karma Co. From the Maheswaris and Sons Company you have to do some lawyer work!" Says Malothra
The person- Don't worry!  I have arranged everything perfectly! Within 2 days everything will be in my name once again.
Swara was terrified! Her suspicion was proving to be right! But she need to confirm herself! She hopes against hope...that whatever she is hearing or watching is a lie!
She started to walk towards them...her each step was making her feel something unwanted is going to happen!
Swara was standing near the person whose back was still facing her. Mr. Malothra suddenly noticed her and was horrified seeing her here.
The person asked- What?  Why are you looking like as if you have just seen a ghost!
Swara was shocked and was confirmed 99 percent it was him...but still she hoped she is proven wrong by that remaining 1 percent.
Tears formed in her eyes.
She slowly put her hand on his shoulder and he froze at his place.
After few seconds, he turns around and looks at her as she whispers in disbelief- SANSKAR...!!???
