SWASAN- Was he still hers?

|Epilogue|

It was a beautiful morning as Sanskar woke up to find his lady love peacefully sleeping in his embrace. He knew his birthday couldn't have had a better start, he caressed her hairs and looked around. They were in their tent. He smiled recalling her surprise for him last night. Even though their separation caused him the worst pain their reunion that followed has given him everything he ever needed in his life. His Swara always loved him, there was no doubt in it. But the way she expresses it lately warmed his heart.

His phone vibrated and he saw his 'Mom' calling him. He attended the call and talked to her slowly so that he doesn't disturb the sleeping beauty in his arms.

"Hello Mom"

"Happy birthday Chora"

"Thank you Mom" he whispered smiling. His Dad and Uttara also wished him. "Enjoy your day Mere Bhai!" Uttara giggled as she hung up the call and his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he looked at his phone.

That's when he realized the time. There is no way his wife is so calmly sleeping far away from the home not worrying about breakfast and Aarthi.

Swara opened her eyes slowly, she looked at him and smiled sleepily. She lifted herself only to cuddle with him more comfortably and nuzzle her face in his neck. "Happy birthday Patidev. Now sleep, we have the whole day!" She mumbled against his neck and patted his cheeks trying to make him sleep and he chuckled hearing her. One full day with her alone was definitely the best gift he could have had on his birthday. He closed his eyes smilingly going back to sleep.

Annapurna and Sujata entered the kitchen to see Ragini preparing breakfast.

"Ragini, didn't Swara prepare the breakfast today?" Annapurna asked and Ragini smiled to her. "Maa, Swara has gone out with Sanskar for his birthday. So, I prepared today".

"They went so early in the morning! When will they return?" Annapurna asked frowning.

"Jiji they will come by night, Swara informed me" Sujata interrupted knowing her Jiji. Her Jiji was not happy with the fact that Swara wasn't convincing Sanskar to forgive Laksh and had been clearly showing her disappointment with Swara.

"But Sujata, night?"

"She went with my permission Jiji" Sujata tried convincing her.

"But how will Ragini manage alone?"

"That's no big deal ma! Swara already informed me yesterday and I know if I plan something for Laksh, my sister will also help me!" Ragini said smiling unaware of the tension between her sister and her mother-in-law.

Annapurna walked away with disappointment while Sujata silently joined Ragini helping her with the breakfast. If her Jiji was genuinely concerned about Ragini working alone she wouldn't have walked away and instead helped Ragini. She knew all this anger was because Laksh was guilty.

Sujata sighed and thought sadly, 'Being angry because your son did a mistake and not getting forgiveness for it is just pure selfishness Jiji!'

Sanskar was sleeping peacefully when he felt soft caress on his face. He frowned with closed eyes as his wife pinched his nose, cheeks, pulled his beard and did everything possible to irritate him and wake him up.

He held her hands and pinned her to the bed coming above her staring angrily at her while she was giggling loudly. A slight smile came on his lips as he admired her laughing whole heartedly. She was wearing his shirt, her hairs spilled on pillow, sindur smeared and flushed face, oh she was a vision!
