PART 8

AFTER 5 YEARS

One fine morning

The high sunlit clouds drifted across a clear blue sky. The sky above was full of tumultuous, dark, ragged clouds. A sky of mackerel clouds, crimson and amber- tinted. It was a grey morning with a dull sky threatening rain. A cloud, ominous and black, drifted over the mountain and released a sudden shower showing as if crying along with the two souls undergoing immense pain from last 5 years. The two souls- swara and sanskar who have been away from each other from five years and dieing everyday in each other’s memories…

But yet they were not alone.. there were some more people who were experiencing the same pain from last 5 years

In MM

A girl is sitting on bed holding a photo and talking to it and crying

Girl(crying): where hav u gone? I miss u so much SWARA.. its been five years u left me.. I m all alone here.. your lado needs u swara (bursts into tears)

Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder. She looked back and found sujata standing with moist eyes.

Sujata(teary eyes): don’t worry ragini.. she will come to us soon. We know that she is fine.. she may hav left us five years back but she is still in touch.. we receive her letters. Be happy that she is safe and sound and trying to move on.

Ragini: chachiji but how long? We all know whatever happened in past was not good… we very well know how much she loves him. But he is unaffected.. he didn’t even come back for once to see if she is fine or not.. we are comforting each other by saying that she is trying to move on but deep down we all know that it will never gonna happen.. she is not able to forget him.. that’s why she left MM after 2 weeks wen sanskar left her… it all happened because of me.. for me di was disowned by her own family.. sanskar left her and look now she is just suffering… and here we are totally clueless about her.. she sends us letters but no address nothing is written on it so that we can trace her.. I m feeling guilty chachiji (teary eyes)

“No its not u… it should be me who should be guilty”

Sujata and ragini turned around and saw laksh and ap standing with moist eyes… they came towards them..

Laksh: m sorry rago.. it was me who didn’t let bhai and swara get close.. I knew bhai wud do anything for me.. I m sorry lado for separating ur siter from u.. not only her but u also suffered equally.. (joinng hands) please forgive me rago
Ragini couldn’t control and hugged him tightly

Ragini: no laksh… it was all part of destiny.. and my sufferings are nothing infront of di’s… I got my love.. I have my parents to support me and my love that is u by my side.. but di..

Ap: I am also equally the part of this guilt… due to my taunts sanskar never accepted her as his wife… she was pure and innocent… but we made her suffer a lot.. god knows where she is now.. but m happy that she is fine..

(laksh after seeing swara suffering without sanskar realized his mistake.. he also got senses that he also made rago suffer a lot irrespective of the fact that she loves him unconditionally.. he accepted her whole heartedly.. AP also on the other hand asked forgiveness from swara.. this all was done before swara left MM.. but the GADODIAS were still angry with her then… but after she left they came to know the whole truth and were guilty of their behavior specially shekhar and now was desperately trying to search her.. they every month receive a letter from her stating that she is fine and needs some time to sort out her life but it had no address or anything on the letter.. they were happy to know that she is fine but the question still remained… WHERE IS SWARA?)

AT ANOTHER PLACE

IN A 2 ROOM FLAT

A girl was seen standing near window looking at the greenery outside which was glowing due to rain and was trying to soothe her pain.. she is none other than SWARA.. remembering her past having tears in her eyes

Swara(sighing): welcome one more day of pain swara in SHIMLA

SO swara is in shimla

In LONDON

It was night there..

The lingering light was obliterated by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet black that engulfed the town. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. The faint wind brushed against the water’s surface, the ripples ruffled the stillness of the surface, and shattered the reflection of the harbor…

our hero was sitting on his bed resting his head on headboard.. he slowly opened his eyes and they were swollen.. it seemed that he was crying

( guys here now I m telling wat all happened in their lives in past 5 years and also swasan.. it wud be like swara questioning and sanskar answering and then sanskar questioning and she answering.. some cosmic connection type or u can say their souls are talking)

Both are thinking this being at their places.. he in london.. she in shimla

Swara: I miss u sanskar

Sanskar: I miss u swara but I knw u don’t miss me.. u must hav moved on in your life with laksh

Swara: I knw u don’t miss me because u hate me.. u must be thinking that I hav moved on with laksh

Sanskar: I know laksh wud always keep u happy.. he had promised me..
Remembering the office convo he had with laksh

**flashback**

Laksh: bhai now its enough for me.. I cant bear more

Sanskar: what happened laksh?

Laksh: bhai I don’t knw how to beat around the bush.. I m straight coming to point… please leave swara.. I cant handle watching u both together

Sanskar(shocked): but laksh

Laksh: bhai please.. I know I m married to ragini but I don’t love her.. I love swara.. she was supposed to b mine.. u took her.. u always gave me wat I wanted so wat happened now? Don’t tell me u hav fallen for her

Sanskar: no laksh nothing like that.. infact we r divorcing after 2 months… u can marry her then.. I will leave her(he experienced a pain deep down while saying this)

Laksh: seriously bhai.. u r divorcing.. thank u bhai

Sanskar: anything for u laksh.. but promise me one thing

Laksh: wat bhai

Sanskar: u will always keep her happy

Laksh: I promise bhai.. I will support her wen u will leave her.. I will always care for her and will keep her happy

Both the brothers hugged each other and left for their respective works

**flashback ends**

Swara: I didn’t moved on with laksh sanky but I moved out of their lives.. I was not able to live in that house with ur memories, in that room with the memories of the most beautiful night of my life.. it was unbearable sanskar.. I left them all.. but I knw they care for me so I just send them a letter telling m fine.. but the reality is m not fine sanskar.. I m incomplete without u.. i was sure that u will come back.. but its been 5 years and u never even called me to enquire if I was fine

Sanskar: I know u must b happy in ur life.. I had sent the divorce papers soon and had asked laksh to submit in the court.. that was the last time I spoke to anyone in MM.. I didn’t received ur calls because I was guilty to wat I did to u that night.. I did wrong and I knw u will forget everything and live happily with laksh if I will not b around.. that why I left depicting that I hate u but the truth is that night was equally beautiful for me as u…

Swara: u must be thinking that we r divorced but its not true nsanskar.. I m still SWARA SANSKAR MAHESHWARI.. I had burnt those divorce papers.. how can u think like that.. u hurted me a lot sanskar.. I know u never confessed ur love to me but I can see that in your eyes… my love is pure for u.. but wat u did.. instead of facing the problem u ran away.. for your brother u spoilt my life sanskar… how can u do this?

Sanskar: I m sorry swara for wat all I did to u.. I will pray to god that u be happy throughout ur life…

Read the poem guys it depicts swasan pain but more of swara..

Look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see.
My hopes and dreams are shattered.
Is there no future for you and me?
I love you more than I ever thought I could.

(swasan were thinking how they met and got married.. Their arguments.. Their dance and dat night)

Someday I thought we would find happiness,
Like every couple should.
Look me in the eyes,
For once tell me the truth.
Did you ever love me?
Please don't make any excuse.

(swara thought how he left her and went away)

Look me in the eyes,
Can't you see my pain?
My heart is breaking;
I have no one else to blame.
Look me in the eyes,
Can't you see my fear?
If I'm losing you,
God take me away from here.

(swasan were thinking how they missed each other everyday in past 5 years.. How much they crave for each other)

Look me in the eyes,
You'll see how much I care.
The tears roll slowly down
Then vanish in thin air.
Look me in the eyes,
Can't you see my hurt?
If not when I'm awake
Then do it while I sleep.

(they just wanted to fly to each other and get engrossed in a bone crushing hug)

Look me in the eyes,
At least once before I die
You will see the memories
That we shared through our
children. So...
Look them in the eyes,
Let them know you care.
Let them know you love them
And that you will always be there.
Look them in the eyes,
Please don't wait until it's too late.
Look them in the eyes,
Only speak the truth.
Lies can hurt forever
Some hearts get too torn to mend.

(sanskar gets tears in his eyes imagining swa___lak together)

Look them in the eyes,
They will always need a friend.
Look them in the eyes,
Never let it end.
Then do it while I sleep.

Sanskar: i love u swara.. I really do.. But somewhere i think m not the one for u.. That night i believe u also went with the flow.. I didnt intented to do anything like that but i cudnt control myself...
Thinking about swara he slept

Swara: please come back sanskar... I m incomplete without you.. I need u infact WE need u.. I love u sanskar.. I love u

Swara then heard a voice

Voice: Mumma

(ya ya u must hav guessed seeing the cover pic)

Swara(wiping her tears immediately): sanju u here.. Wat happened darling? (hugged her)

Sanju: nothing mumma.. Come lets go.. We r getting late...

Swara: yes. Come my baby..

They both got ready and swara dropped sanju at school.. Before entering school sanju kissed swara and hugged her and den kissed sanskar's pic in swara's phone

sanju: byee papa.. I miss u and she went inside...

Swara was seeing all this with a smile.. She left for her office... On the way she started thinking again.. She was looking at sanskar's pic & began talking to it

Swara: sanskar.. Next month our daughter will turn 5.. Yes sanskar.. Our daughter.. Our sanju... Your SAANJALI SANSKAR MAHESHWARI... the symbol of our love.. Nobody knows about her in the family because i wanted u to know first about her.. I hav tried my best to giv her love of both mom and dad... But i knw she needs u.. Come back sanskar.. She knows about u.. I hav told her that u will come one day.. U r not here with us because u r angry on me..she didn't meet u but i can say thst she loves u more than me.. On her every bday i give her some gifts saying u hav send them... She becimes soo happy... She is waiting for u sanskar.. Ur saanjali needs u...
Her trance was broken by a call on her phone.. It was piyu (remember her friend in first part)

Swara: haan piyu

Piyu: swara.. Where r u.. U knw na we hav a meeting today... Boss is waiting for u..

Swara: haan piyu m reaching in just 2 mins.. U and varun please handle till then...

Swara was working in khurana construction company as pa of shantanu khurana (imagine vivian dsena) the MD of khurana company, piyu was a manager there while her husband varun khanna (imagine shakti arora) was a CEO of the same company..

***flashback***

When swara left MM without informing anyone leaving a letter behind, she suddenly feels dizzy and fainted infront of a car.. The car stopped and a man and his wife came out from the car.. They were none other than piyu and varun

Piyu(patting swara's cheeks) : swara.. Swara get up..

Varun: jaan.. Lets take her to hospital..
In hospital

After 1 hour.. Doctor came out with reports and told piyu that swara is pregnant. Piyu was happy for her but at the same time confused seeing bags with her...

After sometime swara gains consciousness and saw piyu with her.. Piyu excitedly told her the good news... Swara was shocked.. She couldnt control herself and cried hugging piyu... And told her wat all happened

Piyu(shocked) : swara this much happened.. U never told me..

Swara: i m sorry piyu but i just didnt knew wat to do

Piyu: do u want this child swara?

Swara: ofcorse. This baby is symbol of our love piyu.. I want it.. Its part of my sanskar..

Piyu(feeling bad for her) : but swara he did bad to u

Swara: no i know he too loves me.. He will come back one day

Piyu: ok swara as u wish.. Come let me drop u to MM

swara: no piyu i dnt want to go back..

Piyu: wat will u do then? Where will u go in this condition? I will not let u do any stupidity

They began thinking..

Varun: i hav an idea..

Piyu: wat?

Varun: she can come with us to shimla

Piyu(happy) : yeah.. Dats a nice idea.. Comeon swara.. Come with us to shimla.. Live with us.. Our company is opening a branch there so we r shifting..
After so many pleadings swara complied...

Next day they left for shimla

Throughout her pregnancy piyu nd varun took care of her.. Even shantanu used to come nd meet her.. They became really closed friends.swara considered him friend but he had a soft corner for her.. After her delivery she shifted to her own flat and shantanu appointed her as his pa...

**flashback ends**

Swara reaches her office and shantanu glared at her for being late..

Shan: swara u r late

She held her ears and pouted.. Her antics melted him and he smiled

Swara: sorry

Shan: (smiling) its ok.. Lets go.. Meeting is going to start..

They left for meeting

The meeting was successful and the deal was signed.. It was a huge project and many companies from all over the world were working on it... So it was decided that for next 6 months all the companies wud work together in paris...
Shantanu, swara, piyu and varun were supposed to leave for paris the next day.. Obviously sanju will also go they bid bye to each other and went home for packing

In london

Sanskar was in his office working wen he received a mail.. Reading it.. He called his pa..

Sanskar: akhi.. We need to leave for paris tomorrow fir the project work .. Do all the arrangements

Akhi: yes sir and she went

**to be continued**
