A lot of time passed by and Sanskar finally got some alone time for himself to think over what happened an hour ago. He was sitting on a chair, away from the public, and smiling all to himself thinking about the turn in his and Swara's relationship. The memory of the long conversation he and Swara had inside his father's cabin was something he would not be able to get off his mind for a very long time. Nevertheless, he didn't even want that to fade away, as it assured him that his life was taking a turn for good... or for the best. A life with the love of his life by his side! Today was definitely one of the best days of his life... the small hint of recovery he witnessed in his mother's health, and the confession of their love in front of his family and more than that, their approval. They were ready to welcome Swara as a key part of their family and he could not have asked for anything else.

Sooner or later, they both were going to get married to each other and his sane self really did not know how to keep up with his heart thrilling with every passing moment he spent wondering about the blissful events in their future.

"Bhai?"

Came Laksh's voice but Sanskar was so engrossed in his thoughts that he could not listen. Laksh huffed. He understood his brother was in his own world and oblivious of his presence near him. So he decided to try again, and this time, a little more aggressively! He was all set to shout in his ears but Ragini's voice from somewhere behind made him step back, "Laksh!" she called him coming to him.

"Ragini, you here? What's up?" Laksh asked looking at her.

"Nothing. I was just wondering where you suddenly disappeared. And..." Her eyes landed on Sanskar and her expression changed to that of furiousness, "Sanskar bhai... you too?!"

"What do you mean by 'you too'?" Laksh frowned in confusion, "Is there someone else around behaving the same way?"

"Who else do you think would it be?" she countered, "Here, it is Sanskar bhai and there it is Swara. She has also been smiling like a love-struck teenager since she came back... or should I say a love-struck adult!"

"Wait," he interrupted, "if they both are smiling like this, then it means... something really really good has happened between them both. Am I right, bhai?" He asked looking at Sanskar who was still not aware of their blabbering and in his self-induced trance.

"BHAI!" Laksh hit on Sanskar's shoulder finally breaking his trance for good.

"Huh... what?" Sanskar, all flustered, looked at his brother, "Lucky, for goodness sake don't scare me like this."

"So how else should I bring you back to this world? I called you so many times but you were so lost in your wonderland that my voice did not even reach your ears."

Sanskar attempted to argue but was cut off by Anushka's voice coming from somewhere behind, "Here!"

The three pair of eyes turned towards Anushka who was holding a flustered Swara by her arm and she pulled her near them.

"Swara?" Ragini asked in confusion as she looked at her new friend.

"I have brought her here because I know what will make her spill the beans," Anushka went on, "Since she came from Ramprasad sir's cabin she has been acting like..."

"Yes, we know!" Ragini and Laksh said, exasperated. Both Sanskar and Swara, not understanding how to react or what to speak, just kept staring at each other dumbfounded and embarrassed because of what their friends said.

"But you know what is a better option?" Ragini asked before shoving Swara off towards a chair in front of Sanskar, "Let's leave them alone so that they can talk and sort out whatever is going on together."
