Starting Of An Ending

Knowing

Sanskar was adamant to go to office. No matter how hard Swara tried to persuade her husband, he was just too stubborn. Even Laksh tried but it went in vain. Ragini was the only one supportive with the decision.

"Swara, I once broke my leg, and even though I was completely fine after 8 months, all of you acted like my leg would rip off. Sanskar just wants to feel normal. " Ragini told her sister.

"He just wants to feel normal Laksh. Swara tum thono batao,what is he going to do alone when the girls go college, the men's go to office, even Uttara and her family are going to visit a family friend. " that was it for Swara to know that her sister was right.

And then yes. Sanskar was allowed to go to the office except for two conditions. One he'll drop and pick up the girls from college. Two,he would return home for lunch unlike the mens of Maheswari pariwar.

And Sanskar couldn't be happier, as long as he does some stuff that makes him feel normal like before.

"Papa, let's go. I've got to present a project today. " Maha told Sanskar breaking him out of his thoughts.

"You guys know already. How? "Sanskar asked with a confused face.

"We know everything papa." Radhika replied with a smirk.

With that the girls left for college with their papa.

----------------------------------------------------------

Sanskar was really surprised when both the girls kissed his cheek as a goodbye. It was true that he and the girls were getting close but he didn't knew it would be this soon. He just didn't know how but the girls sure do.
It's true that both of them were fond of Sanskar but a particular reason made them want to get closer to him.

It was yesterday night, when Radhika wanted to wish good night to Swara and Sanskar, she overheard their conversation.

"Kya hua Sanskar? I agreed for you to go office right? Then what are you thinking about? " That was the first thing Radhika heard.

"Radhika.. " Maha whispered next to her.
"Why aren't you in the room yet? "she whispered again. Radhika was about to tell something when they heard Sanskar say
"I'm thinking about Maha and Radhika. "

The girls exchanged glances and knew they had to hear.

"If I didn't go missing, we would have had a child younger to them."he said sadly.

"Don't get me wrong Swara, I love the girls the same I do for Ajay but there's this feeling that our kid should be one of them. " he said justifying his reason.

And that was the exact moment the girls decided that no matter what, they would be the same way to Sanskar as they were to Laksh.

"Hi papa." The girls said getting on the car.

"Maha kaise tumhara presentation? " Sanskar asked.

"Really good papa. Teacher said I did great." Maha said feeling contended.

"I had to test my blood today, to know which blood group I'm in." Radhika said pouting.

"And what blood group are you in? " Sanskar asked smiling.

'B negative, papa." Radhika replied.

"That's kind of rare,Radhi." Maha replied.

Sanskar was silent a minute. That blood group is rare. Laksh is not B negative, he's O positive. But I do know everyone's blood group in this family, I handled their medical records last time. I for sure know that both Laksh and Ragini are both not B negative. Maybe I can't remember well."

"Papa? " Radhika called out as Sanskar snapped out from his thoughts.

"Kya hua papa? We've been calling you for a while now." Maha said.

"Kuch nahi.Kya hua?" Sanskar asked gaining his focus back.

"What's your blood group papa?" Radhika asked.

"B negative. "Sanskar muttered not sure why he felt uncomfortable saying it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Laksh was in his study's when Sanskar came in.He came back home early to prepare some documents for the upcoming board meeting.

"Sanskar, how was it coming to office today? " Laksh asked his brother.

"It was good, I wasn't even in office that much. " Sanskar said with a chuckle.

"Swara did not let? "Laksh asked laughing while Sanskar replied with a nod.

"Waise Lucky, what's your blood group?"Sanskar asked randomly.

O positive, kyu Sanskar? "Laksh asked in a doubt.

"Ragini?"

"Same as well, Sanskar, seriously though why are asking this?"Laksh asked not feeling good about the question.

"Kuch nahi." bit ghat answer was not convincing. Both the men knew that.

----------------------------------------------------------

Ever since having lunch that day, Sanskar seemed bothered and Swara noticed it.

"Kya hua Sanskar, why do you look so bothered? " Swara asked her husband.
"Swara,if I ask you something, can you answer me truthfully? " Sanskar asked while making his wife sit beside him.

"Haan Sanskar, poocho? "

"Is Radhika adopted ?" Sanskar asked making Swara's heart stop.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was a usual routine, for the girls to spend time with their parents after lunch.

"How was today Radhika, anything interesting?" Ragini asked her daughter.

"Haan maa, I did blood test today. My blood group B negative, what's both of yours? "

Just then Sujatha called both her granddaughters.

"Ji nanima,coming."the girls went out of the room leaving the conversation hanging.

"Kya hua Laksh? "Ragini asked her husband.

"Earlier Sanskar was talking about blood group to me, now I understand what's going on. "

Before Ragini could even react, Laksh held her hand and started making their way towards Swara and Sanskar's room.

Just as they reached at the front of their room, Laksh could hear Sanskar.

"Swara ,you know I don't ask anything without thinking properly. "

"Tell me. I'm asking because both Laksh and Ragini are O positive but Radhika is B negative. That's impossible.Is she adopted? "

"Haan Sanskar, she's adopted. "Laksh entered with ragini and told his brother before Swara could reply.

"For Ragini and I, she's adopted.For you and Swara she's not." Laksh continued saying.

Ragini and Swara exchanged glances knowing that the truth is going to come out now. Swara tried to stop Laksh but Ragini signalled her not to as she knows its now or never.

"Radhika tumhara aur Swara ki asli beti." Laksh said with a difficulty in his voice not knowing the feelings that would be evoked.

If only he knew..
