Swara stood staring blankly at dipping sun from window, playing with ring on her finger .She is engaged and She felt trapped, like she's bound in something which she didn't want to...but it was her choice to go ahead with engagement...and have to live with it. Should she ?

She didn't intend to hurt him today..The anger over helpless state he had put her in.. Angry?Is that why she got engaged . Was she trying to get back to him? He was right there attending guests, like nothing happened adding more fuel to her already bubbling anger .Her off hand comment ..she didn't know would evoke such strong response from Sanskaar .

After sliding ring in finger as Sahil lifted her hand to his lips, Her eyes were fixed on Sanskaar but there was nothing she could make out from his face. What did she hope for, that he would smack Sahil and claim her "I am glad to have you in my life Swara" Sahi's words drifted her eyes back to him. She forced a smile but next words were for someone else " Thanks Sahil ..for feeling I am good enough for you."

And there was sound of crash of glass .It crashed in his hand .. piercing ,and it bled.

"Sanskaar ... " His name was out on her lips before she could realise , snatching her hand from Sahil ,Swara rushed to him oblivious of curious glances her actions drew and absolute silence ruled around room.

"Kya karte ho ? "Swara hastily wrapped her kerchief around hand "Dekho kitna khoon beh raha hain,.bilkul dhyan nahi rakhte ho apne ..bahut dard ho raha hain ..concerned she looked into eyes and time froze for her. There was sharp pain in his eyes which tugged her heart.

Did she hurt him ,with her words? Was he in pain too ...then Why did he let her go?Swara's mind swamped with thoughts.

As he caught every eye in ceremony, glancing towards them ,that minute Sanskaar snatched his hand back startling Swara and breaking the eye lock "Main dekh lunga.. "he looked around crowd and muttered a quick sorry and rushed outside.

Swara stood there watching him.

"Woh Shona aur Sanskaar bachpan ke dost hain na .. iss liye."Sharmistha walked up to Swara trying ease the situation ."Shona ..she gave a disapproving glance and lead her back to Sahil.

"Lagta hain kuch Jyada hi fikr hain aapki beti ko uski dost ki "Sahils mom Gayatri Gupta passed a comment casting another disprroving a look towards Swara.
