EVENING

Sanskar sits on bed and starts removing his socks and looks around,unknowingly for swara.

"where is she?..."sanskar muttered then gets up and walks toward mirror,removes his tie  and shirt and was going toward washroom but stopped seeing a paper on dressing table and picks it up.

"LAST WEEK IS STARTING FROM TODAY....I AM GOING AT MY PARENTS HOUSE."

sanskar stares at it for a minute then puts it back and goes to take shower.

************************

Swara enters inside a wide room and saw shekhar studying a book,sitting on an arm chair.she walks forward and puts tea on table,in front of him.

"i didn't ask for it....who told you to bring it"shekhar said with smile,without raising head then he looks at swara and his face turned serious.

"still upset from me...."swara said while sitting in front of him,keeping her hand on his hands with which he was holding book.

"who i am to get upset from you?..."shekhar said in same tone.

"baba please don't say like this....if your mother had joined hands in front of you then would you have refused?"swara said in helpless tone.

"which mother make her daughter do something like this?.....and why didn't she made her own daughter to do this contract marriage why you?"shekhar said with supressed anger.

"i just want to know how it feels if you do something for your mother."swara said while lowering her head.shekhar gets sad,seeing her like this.swara was very young when her own mother died.

"nothing can change now but i just want you to do one thing for me..."shekhar said,keeping hand on her head.

"what?..."swara looks at him and smiles.

"if there is any problem and you want to break this marriage before contract then don't hesitate....your father is here."shekhar said with fatherly affection and swara nodded vigorously.

"sanskar!....wake up!"swara said while standing close to him.sanskar hardly opens his eyes at her voice and forgets to close them after seeing  her face early morning.

"khan didn't come till now,you will get late for office."swara smiles,seeing him opening his eyes and explains him in soft tone and turns to leave but sanskar holds her hand.swara turns back looks at his hand then at his face.

"8:30....get up"swara said,frees her hand.sanskar nodded and sits on bed.she picks up towel from chair and goes to terrace to dry her hair.

Meanwhile khan comes there hurriedly but gets shocked seeing sanskar awake.

"thank God you are awake....otherwise we would have got so late,it takes half an hour to wake you up."khan said,taking deep breaths as she came there running.

"less than one minute..."sanskar said in deep tone.

"did you say something?..."khan asked in confused tone,sanskar shook his head and steps down from bed.

"get ready we have to go for business dinner in an hour..."sanskar said smiling a little.

"what will i do in business dinner....it will be so boring"swara asked in confused tone then makes face.

"i didn't told you to impress them so much that they told me to come with you otherwise don't come..."sanskar said in plain voice.swara giggles a little then gets up and walks toward her cupboard to select dress for herself.

"how many people will be there?..."swara asked in busy tone.

"many actually his son got married recently...this dinner is related to that."

"but you said its business dinner...."swara said confusingly and turned toward him.

"he is including you in his happy moments and you are calling it business...impossible."swara said,takes out a dress and was going toward washroom when sanskar holds her arm.

"whoever talks nicely with you...its doesn't mean he is really nice.don't trust everyone so quickly,keep it in mind."sanskar said while looking in her eyes directly.swara nodes slowly.
