"Kunal?" She called him...taking his hands within hers..."I-I'm going to tell you the biggest truth of my life." Tears were on the verge of falling.

Kunal pressed his hands over hers, as if telling her that he wouldn't judge her at any cost...right now, she needed this.

It was time for her to accept the past and move on.

"I--"

"Dr. Kunal! The Maliks are here...they want to meet you!" His secretary interrupted Swara.

Maliks? As in the original director of this hospital?; Swara wondered.

"Umm..." Kunal looked at Swara, as if indicating her this was something important.

"I'll get going Kunal!" Swara was about to stand when he stopped her.

"Stay! Here! I'll meet them in the meeting room." He winked and stood up, carefully making Swara sit on the couch from his lap and walked towards the door.

As Swara was correcting her hair and clothing he turned around to tell her something. "We will talk about this! Today itself. I promise!" and after flashing his dimpled smile he walked away.

What's wrong with you Swara!; She hit her head slightly, with her palm.

Nothing much! You are falling for him.; Swara's heart confirmed.

Ohh! Shut up! She's a one man woman! ; Swara's brain cleared.

Ayee! shut up before I pull the cerebrum out of you; Swara's heart warned her brain.

Don't threaten me! I'll block your ventricles.; Swara's brain replied.

Shut up both of you!; Swara yelled at both of them in an attempt to calm her confused self.

Her notification tone is what brought her back to reality. A reality where she still has a few things to find out.

Get your self together Swara...you still have to be somewhere today; Swara took a deep breath as if gathering the courage for something.

"Miss you can't go into the office like that!" Swara heard a certain commotion outside. She walked towards the door, to check what was happening when the door suddenly, swung open revealing a lady in a bodycon dress and perfect make up.

Ritika!; Swara wondered.

"S-Swara? Y-You're here?" Ritika was astonished, as if she didn't expect her to be here.

Swara was blank for a moment. She recalled the baby shower day when she asked her to wear Avni's dress on behalf of Kunal. It wasn't a puzzle for Swara....it was quite clear why she would have done that.

"Well! This is my husband's office...so, I don't think being here is a problem, is it?" Swara sarcastically said.

"Y-Yeah! Of-ofcourse!" Ritika let out a confused chuckle.

"Ch-Chiku isn't here huh? He- he gets really sensitive sometimes so-so, don't take his words seriously...I'm-I'm sure he'll forgive you." It was visible how awkward Ritika was.

Ritika turned around to leave but Swara caught her elbow not letting her leave..."... I thought you were my friend!...and so I trusted you. You shouldn't have done that!" Swara said.

"Wh-what are you talking about!?" Ritika pretended not to know.

Swara scoffed at this statement..." How long has it been?" Swara questioned, startling Ritika.

"What?" She blurted it out.

"How long have you been in love with Kunal?" Swara directly questioned.

Ritika's expression change defensive.

"Don't you have shame? How can you talk like that about your husband.?" Ritika yelled.

Her annoyance was a clear indication that she was trying to defend herself from getting caught. What could be worse than getting caught by your crush's wife?

"Maybe, I am shameless." Swara chuckled. "I wanted to confront you the same day and ask you why you did that to me but..." She let go of Ritika's arm..."...I understood. I connected the dots and it wasn't tough to find out that you loved him...and guess what? I didn't feel angry on you anymore..." With this Swara was about to leave the room when Ritika questioned her.

"Why? Why didn't you feel angry after knowing another woman loved your husband? is it because you don't love him?" Ritika questioned.

I don't know if I love him; Swara thought to herself.

"It's not always about love...in that case I wouldn't have married him at all but..." Swara turned towards Ritika..."...I know that you are his friend first. It's okay Ritika, love makes you do some crazy stuffs...but that doesn't change the fact that you are a good girl... when god is generous enough to give second chances to a sinner...then you are just like any other human being...who am I to punish you?...Also, If you were able to stay supportive of him even when Avni was alive...I am sure you wouldn't' do anything to harm him."

Ritika broke down into sobs.

"How do you know I loved him even while Avni was alive?" She questioned between her sobs.

Swara smiled before replying..."...You're not the only one who has loved and not got the person you loved with all your heart...we might have different stories but know that we are all on the same boat...you, Kunal, me and god knows how many more people..."

Swara walked out of his office giving Ritika some space.

Ritika was guilty of what her jealousy made her do... if Swara was also not going to forgive her...it would have been a huge sin on her part and maybe Ritika would have never forgiven herself for it...and Swara definitely knew how it feels to blame yourself for something you couldn't control.

Swara's forgiveness had lessen the guilt burden on Ritika, at least now, she would think straight and move on with her life.

~ Somewhere in INDIA

"Have you supplied the goods I told you to?" A suited man sitting in his Mercedes questioned the man who seemed like his worker.

"Yes sir! Just made the deliveries today!" He replied.

"Good! Keep the good work going... and I'll reward you!...if you get caught like last time...then know that I won't forgive you this time." He threatened him.

"Thank you for being generous boss but this time...no one can trace us! I've made sure of that!"

"Hmm! What about Pills health center?!"

"The delivery is within this week sir, I'll make sure to not get caught."

With this, the man left in his Mercedes while his minions carried on with the work they were told.
