Laksh Maheshwari screamed to his family that Ragini had got her memory back or maybe she was pretending to have memory loss the whole time but none believed him. Ragini had already manipulated everyone that Laksh wants Swara back and he was doing everything he could do to show Ragini bad as soon as he heard the news that Swara left Kolkata.
Ragini was at peace, Swara lost her respect, Sanskar lost his love and Laksh lost his family's trust. The three people who took her truth out had lost something precious, she continued to be the innocent marwari bahu who had everyone's support. It was only a matter of time till she will have her own papa and dadima on her side.
Sanskar just silently watched Ragini winning her games. He missed Swara but he was so happy when she kept calling him every hour to excitedly tell how her job works. For the first two days, his happiness had no limits but then suddenly she stopped calling. He was worried for her and asked if everything was alright to Angre.
Angre replied that Swara was fine and Sanskar waited for two days hoping she would call only to be disappointed. He knew this would happen, he tried hard to make himself realize this was for the best but the reality was too harsh for him to process. He missed her terribly, he wanted to call her but didn't know how to ask what was wrong.
So he booked the next flight and reached Mumbai. He had planned to be casual, pretend like he just came to visit and hoped she would be normal with him. He had not planned for any confrontation.
But when he felt her fragile frame in his arms, when her scent filled his lungs and when everything about her screamed she missed him too, he had to ask her.
"Why did you stop calling me?"
Swara opened her eyes hearing it and slowly broke the hug. She held his hand taking him inside and closed the door as she muttered, "nothing just work".
He quietly accepted her lie scared that may be she didn't want him in her life anymore. He heard the faint sound of music coming from inside the room and smiled a little. He missed everything about her. It stung him to see her not wearing her marital signs but he silently gulped the bitter truth that they were divorced.
She filled a glass of water for him and gave it to him. "Did you come here because I didn't call you?" she asked slowly and he gulped the water down. "No I.. I also have a meeting here..", he said walking to the table and keeping his empty glass down.
"During weekend?" he heard her confused voice and cleared his throat looking at her, "no it is on monday, I thought to visit you the weekend".
she gave him a smile and asked, "did you had your dinner?" He nodded his head in a yes and then there was a comfortable silence.
She didn't argue with him when he slept on the couch, she silently lay on the bed. She felt extremely grateful for his presence, she suddenly didn't feel empty anymore.

Sanskar woke up and smiled with daze as Swara wiped her wet hairs in-front of the mirror humming a song. God how much did he miss this sight! He saw Swara picking her mangalsutra and caressing it lightly before keeping it inside a box. He didn't know why she did that. Did she miss wearing them? He brushed away his thoughts and got up sitting on the couch. "Good morning", she wished him with a smile turning to him. A smile that he was sure was going to make his day. He smiled back and said, "Good morning".

He smiled stretching his legs on the table as he sipped the tea she made. He saw her scrolling through her phone with a serious look. "What are you doing?" he asked.
