Starting Of An Ending

Explain

Sanskar stood still looking at three people whom he trust more than his life feeling shattered.

"Sanskar we will explain any questions in your mind which I'm sure you have a lot." Laksh said while looking at his brother.

"You three better."Sanskar muttered in an inaudible voice.

"Swara, only you can explain this tight now. Don't worry, we're right by your side." Ragini said while holding her sister's hand and Laksh gave her a reassuring nod.

The three of them sat opposite of Sanskar and Swara started speaking.

"I got to know that I was pregnant after the next day you went to Hyderabad. But I couldn't be completely happy as that's when we heard the news of the train accident." Swara said waiting for any reaction from her husband. But he remained still.

"Since the officials said that some of the accident victims have went missing and you were confirmed as one of them. The main reason I gave Radhika to them because I didn't want her to grow up without her father. I know how it feels like because the first 20 years of my life was without a dad. I'm sorry Sanskar." Swara said while crying.

Sanskar expressions softened as he heard his wife's explanation. He understood but there was another question running through his mind and he knew this would be the time to ask.

"But Swara, why didn't you give Radhika to Adarsh bhaiya and Parineetha bhabi. They were the ones without a child." Sanskar asked doubtfully.

That question from Sanskar made the offer three members in the room to stand still.Swara looked at Ragini and Laksh unsure of how to answer as this was not her part to explain.

"Maha is not my daughter Sanskar." Ragini said as tears pooled around her eyes while Laksh held her by the shoulder.

"What? How is it possible? You were 5 months pregnant when I went to Hyderabad. Tell me Ragini."Sanskar asked feeling confused and outraged.

"It was true that I was pregnant and I did give birth to a daughter and named her Maha. She was borned on September . She was just one and a half months old when suddenly she had a very high fever. Despite every treatment she died." Ragini said while tears started to spill down.

"Then this Maha? Whose daughter is she?" Sanskar asked again.

"We don't know Sanskar. We found her. We don't even know if she's a Marwari. We found her on September 29th and we made that her birthday. This was the following year after our child died. Radhika was borned by then. Radhika was 3 months old and when we found a baby Maha, she was about 9 months old." Laksh explained feeling frustrated and hurt that both his daughters aren't his.

"We actually wanted to give Maha to Adarsh bhaiya and Parineetha bhabi but bhabi was adamant that she didn't want a child without knowing its khandan." Ragini continued to explain.

"So we adopted Maha as well." Laksh finished.

"Sanskar please try to understand. We. "

"I need time. I need time to even process that this is the truth."with that Sanskar left the three of them to go somewhere in a place and have a good thought.

"Swara, Kya hua?"Sujatha asked her daughter in law.
