A week later,
It was usual day in mansion. Swara and Aayat has gone to do some shopping and also Swara has appointment with doctor. Sameer joined them from his office only.
After that, they came back to home.
"Saira, doctor told you to take care of yourself. Your reports were not convincing." Sameer said in serious tone sitting on couch once they came inside the hall.
"He is right Saira. Think about the life you are carrying. Don't be ignorant toward baby." Aayat said.
"Ji Bhai, bhabhi. I will take care from now on. Don't worry." Swara said looking down knowing they are saying right.
She was in still her burkha which she always wear when she goes outside. She blinked her eyes.
"Hmm, anyway you sit here. I will make something for you (to Swara). Sameer, would you like to have something?" Aayat asked.
"Just a cup of coffee please." Sameer said in light tone.
"Sure " Aayat nodded with smile and she went toward kitchen.
They may have servants but Sameer didn't hire cook as Aayat was so fond of cooking and he also likes food made by her. Also, Saira also accompany Aayat several times.
"Bhaijaan, I will just go and help Aayat bhabhi." Swara said getting up from couch.
Sameer was about to deny but she said.
"It's ok Bhai, I will just sit there and help her in cooking. I can't sit doing nothing. You scroll your news channel till then." Swara said in light tone.
Sameer nodded with smile. Swara went to kitchen and Sameer started watching news turning on the TV.
...Lifting her Niqaab up, Swara was sitting on the chair near slab and chopping some vegetables for dinner, casually talking to Aayat when they heard the doorbell rang. Hearing it, Swara turned down the veil instantly.
"It's ok Saira, no one will directly come to the kitchen." Ayat said and chuckle.
"Still bhabhi, you know na." Swara said looking at her.
Aayat nodded and continued making coffee.
While Sameer went to open the door hearing the doorbell as someone was vigorously ringing it again and again. Swara suddenly felt restless, a kind of weird feeling. She stopped chopping and put her hand on her baby bump.
"Saira? You okay? Is it paining?" Aayat looked at Swara in concern as she sees restless in her eyes.
"Who's it? I am feeling so weird like.. like...." She wasn't able to express her unsaid words.
On the other side, Sameer opened the door and he got thousand volt shock.
"Sanskar!!!" Sameer whispered in shock.
Swara took a deep breathe. She felt her heart is beating fast.
"Saira!" Aayat placed her hand on her shoulder but Swara immediately got up from chair and took slow steps to go and stood near kitchen door. She peeps slowly to see Sameer was standing still at his postion and someone standing at the entrance door. Her heart was beating fast with every moment. She fisted her hand unknowingly. Aayat came to her and hold her. She was confused to see her like that.
"Saira?" Aayat call her and she followed her gaze to see her looking at the entrance.
That's when they heard Sameer's shocked voice.
"Sanskaarr!! You're alive!!" Sameer said with voice filled with happiness, shock as well as with tearfull eyes.
Sameer was numb to find his best friend alive. For a few second he couldn't utter anything but then he could finally say. Sanskar looked at him in a relief like he finally saw someone whom he knows in the world of strangers. His eyes were filled with pain and void at the same time.
