CH-01

"Today is the best day of my life. I got married to love of my life Swara. What else do I need in my life. From the day I saw her for the first time in Bhai's marriage she has filled my heart and mind" Sanskar smiled standing at his room door. He rubbed his palms against each other and smiled widely and opened the door. He saw her sitting in between the bed and covered her face with the ghungat. She looked nervous and her hand made her legs drag more close to her chest. Sanskar smiled and neared the bed and sat on the bed. As she sensed him her hands started shivering. "Hey relax Swara. Why are you getting nervous. We will just talk today okay. I know you need time to move forward. And I'm ready to give you that time so don't worry" said Sanskar and held her hand. She jerked for his sudden touch. He moved near to her and held her ghungat. He slowly moved it up smiling. In next moment his heart was in his mouth. "Ragini? What the hell are you doing here? Is this any joke?" he almost screamed. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "No no" whispered she. "Where is Swara and what are you doing in her place? Swara.... Swara....." he screamed as he stood up from his bed. He pulled his hair frustrated. Ragini moved out of the bed and stood near it. He turned and held her from her shoulders. He looked at her furiously. His eyes were bleeding red. "I asked you something. Where is Swara?" asked Sanskar. Ragini was silent. His grip on her shoulders tightened and it pained her. "Its hurting" said she sobbing. "Where is Swara?" he asked her without giving heed to what she was saying. "Sanskar what happened? Why are you screaming?" asked Sujata entering his room. She looked beyond him and found Ragini. "What is she doing here? Where is Swara?" asked she confused. "You are gonna tell or not" asked Sanskar dragging her more close to him. She looked at him scared. "Maa call Sumi aunty now" screamed he and Sujata complied.

"Maa" said Ragini holding her cheek when Sumi slapped her. "This is what I taught you? Where is Swara? What have you done with her? How did you come in place of her?" asked Sumi holding her shoulders. "Maa wo Swara" Ragini struggled to say. "You will say it or not?" screamed she. Ragini jerked and sobbed. "She she is in store room" said Ragini sobbing. "What?" asked Sumi horrified. Sanskar looked at her shocked. She dialed a number in her phone. "Vikky just check store room if Shona is there" said Sumi over the phone. They waited for few minutes and they heard Vikram screaming "Shona Shonaa... Get up. Maa she is unconscious" "Oh my god. Take her to room and call doctor uncle I will come" said she and disconnected the call. "Why did you do this? How could you spoil your own sister's life? Finally you proved that blood relations are the real. What if she was your half sister still she loved you and considered you as her own sister. How could you stoop so low? Tell me why did you do this?" asked Sumi holding her elbow. "Because I love him" screamed Ragini and everyone jerked due to her scream. "I love him maa. And I cannot see anyone else with him I cannot. He is mine and only mine" said Ragini and in next minute Sanskar slapped her. "Is it kind of a joke for you? I don't love you and I will never ever. Did you get that. This marriage has no meaning. No meaning at all. You are just nobody to me, nobody" said Sanskar holding her elbow. "And I hate you...... I just hate you more than anything in the world" said he and jerked her hand. Ragini stumbled and fell on the ground. "And from today you are dead for me" said Sumi and stormed from there wiping her tears. Ragini closed her eyes painfully letting the tears. Sujata looked at her with zero expression. How much she wished Swara to be her bahu and here Ragini was in her place. It wasn't that she did not liked Ragini but Swara was Sanskar's choice and she had already accepted her as bahu. Now placing Ragini in that position was next to impossible. Not when Sanskar himself did not accepted her as his wife. She turned and headed to her room. Ragini kept sobbing placing her palms on the ground.

"Swara likes this color ma" said Sanskar blushing when Sujata asked him the color to paint his room with before his marriage. "Oye hoye now only wife's choice haa?" asked Sujata placing her hand on her waist. "Maa" said he and hugged her and she caressed his hair. He instructed the interior designer to design the room according to Swara's choice.
