Epilogue

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give to you forever. I love you."

Sanskaar's Study Room

"I have been through the project Mr.Khanna ..I think it's good to go ..Any suggestions I will mail you the same..sure, thanks." Sanskaar disconnected the call . Khanna's Project done - Sanskaar ticked the same in his to do list .Next ..Next ... he played around with his Mont blanc fountain pen as he scanned through the list of tasks. He always preferred a notepad and Pen over laptop .

Review article on General relativity V/S quantum physics* - done

Notes for guest lecture - Done

Case study of Singhania Industries - tomorrow @ 4.00 pm - Check on Final details

A Seminar on Physical Cosmology - @ 10.00 am - Give a Quick read

He made quick note with his pen ...Well almost done for the day .

He removed his specs , which were back on his wife's demand and of course gifted by her .. A Mont Blanc rim less silver black matte glasses .He smiled remembering her words." You know what Mr.Maheswari , a book in your hand and specs on your eyes ..You are too hot to resist." He glanced at his watch. It's around 4.30 pm

His wife would be in any moment with her adrak elaichi chai which he absolutely loved .

It has been 2 years Sanskaar left Maheshwari Mansion with Swara , shifted to a simple cozy 3 BHK Apartment .He is no longer CEO of Maheswari empire which he had willingly given up to pursue his long cherished dream of being scientist . It took a lot of time to convince his bade papa that his decision of no longer being associated with Maheswari business dealings and moving out of Maheswari Mansion has got nothing to do with his cousin Laksh' deeds.

Laksh genuinely repented for all his deeds and requested his cousin to continue in his role but Sanskaar bluntly refused the same . Unknown he had been a source of insecurity for his cousin one way or another and he no longer wanted him to stay under his shadow . It's time he grew up on his own.

Above all He and swara wanted to start this phase of their life .. on a fresh note. His badi maa was supportive like always , Durga Prasad too understood his reasons . Sanskaar's not so pleasant "dhulayi" of Laksh proved to be good for gradual progress of Laksh and Ragini's relation as she tended and cared for him .Soon Laksh willingly and wholeheartedly accepted Ragini realizing her love for him.

On professional front life has been going great .He started off his research , had been acting as guest faculty for few of reputed institutes , took up freelance business consultancy as and when time permitted owing to his long established business connections .His business acumen and sharp intellect which was very much trusted and which lead Maheswari group to pinnacle of success is often talked about in business circles till date .

His stint as freelance guest lecturer and consultant offered him ample time to pursue his research and very good financial backing .He had few top rated articles in world renowned magazines to his credit . His book is almost ready for publishing ...Over all it's going great.

And personal life .. Bliss would very simple word to describe the same ,with Swara in his life . 'His angel' - They spent their first few days shopping for their new home , setting it up , painting walls , playing around.

On mutual consent , they bought the land of their love nest.. their hut still intact with just a revamp .That place was special for them and they didn't mind dropping their now and then especially on rainy nights. Swara still would find 'Bhoot and cockroaches' which only she could see, especially when they would fight and she very well knew to put that "bahana" to use ,to end their fight . Swara still struggled with blouse strings which he willingly helped out ,only after a heated make out session. Their morning kisses, passionate hugs , pick and drop , mid way stops were part of ritual as their love making every night . They would talk for hours about anything and everything ,cuddling to each other basking in warm glow of their love .

They visited Maheshwari Mansion and Swara's Maayka on alternate weekends sometimes their families would drop by. Swara's music career is going great too.

Could he ask for more? He lovingly picked the photograph on his table ..Their marriage photograph .He looked genuinely happy.He was then not even realizing . Like Einstein said - There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.'..

He preferred the latter one ,having Swara then and now in his life was nothing less than miracle..A miracle which changed his life ..

"Sanskaar Sanskaar" ..Her voice came in

And here she is..Sanskaar smiled and kept back the photograph and stepped out of room.

Swara rushed to him and she is definitely excited he could make that out . "Arey .. kya hua ?"'

"Ye dekho" ..she handed him over an envelope holding back her excitement , a cover letter?

"Ye kya hain ?" Opening envelope he scanned through contents and went speechless for a minute .. before he turned to her .. "Swara ye ?"

"Haan Mr .Maheshwari ... your thesis on black hole * theory got accepted in Cambridge and they offered you post of research fellow and guess what and you will be assisting your favorite Scientist on this project .. I am so so happy Sanskar.. Ab aise staute ki tarah khade rahoge. Ya ...". before she could complete the sentence , Sanskaar squealed with excitement and lifted swara into arms .. "Swara Swara ...I just can't believe this.. I mean .. I am so so happy... He lowered her down "Aur ye sab tumhari wajah se hai swara .Tum chahti na main apna scientist banane ka sapna poora karu."

His eyes sparkled with happiness ..hers as well .

"Tum khush ho na" he gently stoked her cheeks

"Khush nahi Mr .Maheshwari" Swara circled his neck with her arms " bahut bahut khush hain... hum dono "

"Hum Dono?"asked Sanskaar with a puzzled expression

"Haan .. aap ..main aur .. Swara took Sanskaar hand and placed it on her belly ."Ye"

Sanskaar went absolutely still for few moments .Just few minutes ago he wondered if he can ask for more , but life seems to bestow upon him miracles... first in form swara and now " Our Baby?" he asked tears on verge of his eyes as well Swara's . She nodded "Doctor ka phone aaya tha ..its confirmed" .. She smiled through tears as he took her into embrace with sheer joy and happiness ..their baby .."our baby" he whispered again trying to sync in feeling, hugging her close . Not knowing for how long , they just held each other .

He broke the hug ,cupped her face " Swara Main .. I ..Thank you .. thank you so much ..meri zindagi main aane ke liye usse khoobsurat banane ke liye .. for giving me strength to pursue my dreams and being part of them ...agar tum nahi hoti tho .main .. main .. Swara .You are my everything Swara .. ...I love u ...his lips caressed her forehead .

"I love u too Sanskaar ".. they stood cherishing their moment as his forehead gently touched hers and then they shared most sweetest kiss of their life . He kissed her gently with such tender affection pouring his ardent love for her, ..it almost brought tears in her eyes ..

For Swara if someone asked her to pinpoint a moment which she fell for Sanskaar ..She wasn't exactly sure when it happened Or when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now,** she is holding the most beautiful soul and their symbol of love .

For Sanskaar .. he knew it right from the start ..it would be her and only her, ..if not no one else and he knew the moment he saw Swara for first time.. That he was ..Fidaaa.
