Chapter – 4 – Trust me I have no other options I am sorry.
Around Two Weeks Later
At KaliBadi - Marriage Day
"I am sorry Laksh, I don't want this marriage. From the day your family bought this alliance everybody is telling me why I should accept this and how happy I will be post marriage. Laksh trust me I tried my best to accept this marriage with my whole heart, but I could not, you are a gem Laksh, but I will not be able to become perfect life partner for you. We will have loveless marriage; I know you claim to love me, but this would be the one-sided love as I don't love you. I am going far away. Please don't try to search for me. I am sorry all. I know this action will bring lot of challenges and problems for you Laksh and both families. But trust me I have no other option I am sorry." Laksh widened his eyes while looking at mobile screen which was currently on stop mode of MMS. 

Just five minutes ago he received an MMS from Swara. He could not believe what he just heard, not only Laksh but everybody from Gadodia and Maheshwari family were stunned.

Swara went to temple for the ritual, and even after barat came she had not returned. Dida and Sharmishtha were in complete panic mode. Shekhar Ragini are trying to call Swara. But her phone was unreachable from last one hour. Dadi was frustrated like hell listening everybody's taunts. During last three weeks lot of things were happening Swara was behaving quite weird. Coming home late night, just before her engagement she was found drunk at the club asking for more tequila shots from bar tender. Her dance during sangeet was the worst memory for Gadodia's and Maheshwari's. Annapurna has started getting doubts whether her son has made correct choice or not. Though she was extremely happy about Sanskar's return. She considers Swara would be lucky for Maheshwari's since after this alliance got fixed her son returned home.

Sanskar had returned back to MM on the engagement day of Swara and Laksh. Sujata felt like world has come down to her feet's. She was crying with happy tears all the time same was the condition of Annapurna; her son was back home. Sujata did not leave Sanskar for even one second. She was afraid that if she takes off her eyes her son will go away from her. Ram was having the same emotions, he was seeing his son after long three years, in these three-year Sanskar had word with Maheshwari ladies only over phone.

"Hey mhara khatu shaam ji, is ladki ne to besharmi ki hadd kar di. Shekhar I warned you not to believe this Bengali chori, but still you did not listen to me, see now usane hume kahi muhh dikhane ke kabil nahi rakha" Dadi shouted angrily. 

"Chup kar marvaran, don't blame my Shoru unnecessarily, she is not at fault" Dida shouted at Dadi defending Swara. 

"what she is not at fault she run away from her own wedding on the wedding day itself, what upbringing you gave it to her". Dadi started to curse Swara. 

"Please stop all this nonsense we need to find Swara first" Sanskar was the first one to react sensibly. 

"Bhai please call SP; I will go to the temple to check. Lucky don't worry we will find her. She will be fine." Sanskar assured Laksh who was in shocked state and started taking control over situation. 

He was shocked to know that Swara is missing, is he at fault? Did he cross the limit? Why did he come back to India? This is the only thing going on his mind. Right now, Swara's safety is his first priority.

Five days before, Sanskar entered MM after three years and there she was standing besides Laksh wearing green and maroon colour lehenga decked up with all heavy ornaments, Sanskar mesmerised seeing her beautiful face which has light make up, long hairs she had keep her hairs open, there was small smile spread on her lips, her big doe eyes looking at Laksh. And Laksh is about to slide ring in her finger. But Swara shifted her gaze from Laksh at entrance feeling someone's gaze on her. She was looking at the stairs and there was Sanskar.... he was standing there wearing his navy-blue Armani suit, dark brown eyes, silky hairs, a true Greek god. 

Swara was stunned to look at him, her eyes were completely on him. She was feeling lost in his charm. 'He is damn handsome and charming' thinking this Swara felt her heartbeat is increasing. Sanskar swallowed a huge lump forming on his throat while stepping inside his home. He was feeling nostalgic while stepping inside after long three years. Everything is same the way he left.

Swara turned around completely and looking at Sanskar, Laksh followed her gaze and his eyes widened looking at the person who is descending the stairs. His bhai, "Bhai" he just said and ran to hug Sanskar, Sujata and Annapurna could not understand sudden reaction from Laksh but looked back. Their son was standing at the infront of them. Sujata and Annapurna run to him followed by DP, RP and Uttara. Adarsh was still under the shock his little bro is back to their home, he just looked at Pari to confirm he is not daydreaming.

"I missed you son" that's what Sujata could barely speak. Sanskar just hold her in his embrace. He was feeling solace under his mother care. Annapurna was caressing his hairs with lot of affection, today she got her son back. DP and RP were standing looking at their lost son, they had tears in their eyes, Maheshwari's pride is back to home. After a while, Sanskar met with Laksh, Adarsh, Pari and his little sister Uttara. He just stares at DP and RP, still they need to walk a long way to come on terms with each other, that was the message passed.

"Sanskar meet Swara, she is Laksh would be bride" Annapurna introduced them after everybody was able to control their emotions. From the moment Sanskar stepped inside MM Swara has all her attention towards him, her heart was feeling some unknown happiness, she is not able to understand why all her thoughts have been occupied by this stranger. Truly Sanskar's charm has started working on her and she being a magnet attracted towards him. It was becoming difficult for her to breath, she started feeling huge burden on her head, it is becoming hard for her to keep her eyes open, she thought these all are side effect of tequila she drank at the club just one hour ago. How she landed at the club was still a big mystery to her.

And then she passed out. Sanskar was the first one to hold her by her waist. He got panic when she lost her balance and about to touch the ground. He holds her, Laksh came ahead and helped him to put Swara on sofa. Adarsh called doctor, to check her. Dr. Sinha was there with in next 30 minutes to check Swara meanwhile Swara has got cautiousness back. It was declared by doctor that Swara was tired and due to excessive alcohol, she passed out. She sat on sofa once she had some orange juice given to her by Pari. Swara was feeling massive headache due to hangover, but still she was searching for Sanskar. She found something terrible when he looked at her, it was shaking her whole existence.

"Can we exchange the rings?" Dadi said. 

"keh jarurat thi thareko us hotel me jane ki dekha na kya huva, mhari laddoo kabhi na eisa karati". Dadi said slowly in Swara's ears. 

"If Swara feels ok then we can proceed else we will wait and she can rest" Annapurna said, she was genuinely concern for Swara. "I am fine aunty" Swara said.

"Excuse me, can you please take a look at this picture, have you seen her around?" Sanskar was asking the same question to 39th person nearby the temple while showing Swara's picture on his mobile which he clicked yesterday during Sangeet. 

"No, I have not seen this girl. But there were rumours that one girl fell down from Ghat during morning. Some devotees who were performing morning arti saved her and took her to nearby hospital" That statement skipped Sanskar's heart. 

"Do you know which hospital?" He asked to that lady. 

"I don't know but there is one Hospital nearby City Care, you can check there" lady answered. 

"Thank you so much" he said to that lady. Same time his phone rings, it was Adarsh calling. 

"Hello bhai did you got any news?" Sanskar asked over phone. 

"yes Sanskar Police had found Swara she has been admitted to City Care Hospital. I am heading towards there." Adarsh mentioned. 

"Ok Bhai, I will join you there." Sanskar mentioned and run towards his car.

City Care Hospital
At night
Sanskar was there in front of ICU door looking at Swara from glass. There were lot of medical instruments attach to her delicate body. 

"How is she?" he asked doctor who was coming out of ICU. 

"She is fine nothing to worry, she had small injury on her head, we gave her sleeping injection, when villagers brought her here in the morning she was not stable, blabbering something and looked very traumatised, there were too much water filled in her lungs but now she is completely fine just need to take rest. We will be shifting her to private room soon. And if in morning everything is good, we will discharge her. Are you her family member?" Doctor asked. 

"Yes, a family friend" best answer Sanskar could think off. 

"Can you please come with us we need to complete some formalities" Doctor asked professionally. 

Sanskar nodded and said, "give me five minutes I will come to your cabin." Hearing Sanskar Doctor left from there. 

"Bhai you please go home, I will stay here, also please drop dida at badi." Sanskar said to Adarsh while looking at Dida. 

She was sitting on the bench outside of ICU, she was in complete devasted state. 

"I am not going anywhere leaving my Shoru" Dida replied back. 

"Please dida, you need to go home, and rest. Mostly tomorrow doctors will discharge Swara and then what ever happened in badi today, you need to stay strong then only Swara would be able to cope up with all the mis happening." Sanskar tried to make Dida understand while sitting beside her and taking her hand in his.

"Why Durga ma, what wrong my Shoru did to you, you always snatched her happiness. Why my Shoru does not get what she deserves? She won't be able to take the news of Laksh marriage with Ragini". Dida cried. 

"Dida, Swara is fighter, she will fight back trust me she will not fall back. Yes, it will take time for her to come on the terms, but she is strong enough to stand by herself." Sanskar holds her hand in assurance.
