"Hell! I can't go there." Sanskar proclaimed for the nth time.

"Sanskar, it is for your dadi. We can't let Swara go there alone. Mihrapur is a dangerous place." Durgaprasad tried to convince him for the nth time.

"So what!! Isn't she always shouting and jumping here and there? I'm not accompanying her and that's final! Also, I have an important presentation coming in this January." Sanskar shouted. He really was angry.

From the last 2 hours, everyone was forcing him to accompany Swara to Mihrapur. But Sanskar as Sanskar and his ego is elephant sized, he refused without thinking a second.

"Sanskar!!! I'm ordering you. I don't want to hear a no!!" At last, Annapurna stated, who wasn't able to bear the drama going in front of her.

Sanskar made a sulky face and nodded his head like a baby. Sanskar had always loved and respected Annapurna more than his own mother, Sujata Maheshwari. From childhood onwards, it was Annapurna, who took care of Sanskar. So, after Subhatdra Maheshwari, the person who Sanskar love was, Annapurna.

'Dr Swara Bose...' Sanskar cursed her.

"Aunty, how can you do this. I can go alone." Swara made a pout. Here too, Naira and Suma were forcing Swara.

"Shona, it is too dangerous. Mr Maheshwari is a good person. He will accompany you without disturbing you." Suma tried to make her understand.

"Shona, it's not that I don't trust your credibility. It's just, he will be your companion, nothing else." Naira said. Even she started hating him when he shouted at her in front of OT.

"But, I need some time for thinking." At last, Swara declared to them.

"Remember, we are running out of time. So make it fast." Suma warned and went along with Naira.

'Sanskar Maheshwari...' Swara grinned her teeth.

Shekhar was looking at Mishti's picture sobbing. Her picture was his solace. When she was alive, he had always hurt her. But now, everything had changed and for seeing that she wasn't there with them.

He was lost in the picture. He doesn't saw Suma entering his cabin.

"Shekhar bhai.," Suma called him. Shekhar immediately turned and wiped his tears.

"Till when you are going to do this. Why can't you try talking to Shona? Don't she deserve a father's love?" Suma questioned him. Suma had always loved Swara more than her own daughter. Suma clearly knows that Swara's bubbliness and crispness were missing from her.

"Suma, she hates me. And no daughter will ever forgive a father, who is the sole reason for her mother's death." Shekhar broke down. He was holding it for the last 5 years. Suma came running into him.

"Bhai, don't be like this. Everything has changed now. You can't be like this. You should fight for her." Suma gathered her courage and said. Shekhar looked at her face with mixed emotions. He really wanted to make everything fine.

"So Dr Bose and Mr Maheshwari, I hope everything is clear between you. So, let's see after 2 months." Dr Kumar said professionally and shook the hand.

Swara and Sanskar faked a smile. Both of them weren't comfortable with each other.

"I know that you have understood everything very well. but still, be careful. You should gain their trust." Shekhar explained to them.

"Look, who is speaking about trust," Swara said with outermost sarcasm. Dr Kumar, I will take a leave now," Swara said and left the cabin.

Sanskar looked on. Shekhar sadly chuckled. Sanskar who didn't have any idea about them, stood confused.

Maheshwari family along with Naira and Suma were biding bye to swasan. They were having a flight at midnight.

"Bye darling, I'm gonna miss you like hell. And don't you dare forget to facetime me." Naira threatened and gave a bear hug to Swara.

"Naira, leave her. she is struggling in your clutches," Suma said seeing Swara struggling.

Naira left Swara and kissed her on cheeks. Swara made faces.

"Shona, take care! And eat your food..." Suma started to say.

"Aunty, please! I know it. You are saying it for the nth time." Swara interpreted and said.

"So what, it's my duty and Sanskar please ignore her childishness." Suma turned to Sanskar and said.

Sanskar smirked by hearing that. While Swara glared at Suma.

"But Dr Bose, where is your father? I haven't seen him yet." Sanskar asked directly to her. Swara turned her face hiding. She became void at the question. Sanskar who understood that something was wrong, regretted his question at the moment itself.

"It's time for the flight..." Annapurna interpreted the awkwardness and said. Everyone nodded.

After 4 hours they reached Rajasthan.

'Oh my!! It hurts..ahh..my head!! Whenever that Ms Shouting Bose is with me, I'm this pain. What's wrong with my head...I wonder whether Ms Shouting Bose too has anything like this when I'm nearer to her. Anyway, leave it! But I can't forget the fact that Ms Shouting Bose is so cute. The way she smiles flatters my heart. Sometimes I feel like I know her from ages. Her hazelnut eyes are so expressing...Sanskar Babu control! Don't forget that she is Ms Shouting Bose' Sanskar thought while walking towards the cab.

'What that Mr Sloth Maheshwari think about himself? You heard it right...He is a sloth. Sleeping like no one else exists in this world. Why I'm feeling irritated. But he is so handsome. What the hell! Sara, don't fall for his charms...' thought while walking towards the cab.

Their thoughts were broken by a sound of a horn.

"Are you guys getting inside or not? I'm having other customers too." Taxi driver, who was called by Sanskar said in an irked tone.

Swara and Sanskar composed and looked at each other. Swara muttered some curses and got into the car.

The car started moving. There was an awkward silence. Both of them were on their la la land. Suddenly their thoughts were interpreted by the driver.

"So sahib, where you wanna go?" Asked the driver as both of his customers haven't spoken anything after got into the car.

"Excuse me!!! Why sahib? Can't you see I'm also travelling in the car?" Swara asked angrily.

"Sorry jii, I thought that both you wanna go to the same place." The driver said after a pause.

"Okay, no problem! Anyways we want to go to Mihrapur." Swara said to him.

"Okay, I got it. You might be scholars, right? You must be here for the search of black lotus." Driver assumed.

"How do you know?" Both of them asked simultaneously.

"Simple logic! In this year, it's the time. There are many scholars who come for it. So obviously you will go to Mihrapur for that only." The driver said while they were noded.

"Sahib, I think your wife is a little bit angry type." The driver asked him after a long pause.

"What!! Wife!!! Whose??!" Swara and Sanskar asked by jumping from their places.

"Obviously yours, Sahib." The driver mumbled while being confused.

"He/she is not my husband/wife!" Swara and Sanskar declared in a shout. They can tolerate anything, but being a couple? Naah!

"Sorry, again. I thought you were newlyweds," Driver apologized genuinely while they sighed. "But, both of you look good together. " Driver said and Swara gave a glare to Sanskar. Sanskar returned a disgusting look.

"Looking nice!! My foot." Both of them again shouted at that poor driver.

"Hanjii, you both are looking great together. Just like Ranaraj and Seeta Devi." The driver said with a pleasant smile.

Sanskar who heard the names, went to his trance. He was feelings so much attachment to the names.

"Now who is that?" Swara looked at at the driver through the mirror and asked.

"You are going to Mihrapur, right? Everything will come on its way." The driver said and Swasan noded.

"Suma, what's the update?" Shekhar asked impatiently. He was so worried about his daughter.

"Bhai, Shona has called to inform that they have reached there. And there is no network in Mihrapur. I hope they are safe..." Suma said while looking at the Krishna Bhagwan idol in his cabin.

"Yeah! Let's hope for the best. I know my daughter won't fail in anything. She is born to win, my princess." Shekhar said with a bright and proud smile.
