Early morning, all the crew arrived punctually to the airport and after completing the formalities, they boarded the flight. Swara and Sanskar were sitting side by side and the director kept them busy during these four hours of journey too by giving script papers to prepare.

The flight landed in the airport at round 10 a.m. and all the crew went to the hotel which was already booked for them to freshen up. The director warned Swara and Sanskar that they must be ready by 1 p.m. as they need to start rehearsals for their dance.

So, at around 12.30 they reached Victoria memorial and started their rehearsal in the garden in front of it. Though they have visited many places for shooting yet the greenery, the ponds and the lawn over there gave them a new feeling every time they visited that place.

After the song, they went near Howrah bridge to take few night scenes and finally left to their hotel at around 9 in the night, had some dinner and left to sleep.

Next morning, Sanskar called Aman.

"Hey bro, did you find anything? I am in Kolkata now. So, shall we meet for an hour or so?"

"That's cool Sanskar let's meet for breakfast", agreed Aman.

After 30 minutes, they both were sitting in the dining area of that restaurant far away from the remaining crew. Swara had asked her breakfast to the room itself as she was very tired of yesterday's shoot.

"Actually, there was nothing interesting about Mr. and Mrs. Gadodia. Recently they left Kolkata and I found out from the neighbors that they left from here permanently as they asked them to sell their house to someone and send them the money.

Sanskar just nodded.

"Coming to their family background, Mr. Shekhar Gadodia lives with his mother, wife and his son. He had a daughter too but now she is no more. Her name is...well, I think Swara Gadodia". Before he could complete, Sanskar stood up in anger and held Aman by his collar.

"How dare you Aman to call my Swara dead. She is and will be with me forever".

Aman was shocked by Sanskar's sudden outburst, he tried to calm him down "Relax Sanskar, I just told you what I found out from my sources".

Realizing what he did, Sanskar apologized as he felt guilty "Sorry... I was just..."

"Come on Sanskar, It's okay. This is all common between us, right? I don't even remember, how many times we fought in our college days. But one thing I understood that my friend is in love. Where is that lucky girl?"

"I will introduce her later, first tell me everything you know".

Aman told him everything he got to know about Swara, hearing which Sanskar's blood boiled. He hit the table in anger. Just then Swara came there and was shocked to see Sanskar like that. Aman was trying to calm him down.

"Sanskar..."

Hearing Swara's voice, Sanskar immediately calmed down as he didn't want to tell her the reason for his anger. He gave a tight smile looking at her and before she asked something, he introduced Aman.

"Swara, this is Aman, my best friend. And Aman, she is Swara, you might have heard about her", he gestured to Aman with his eyes not to tell her anything.

"Yeah, she is a very good actress. Nice meeting you Swara", he shook hands with her.

"Swara, you go with the crew to the set, I will join you after having a short talk with Aman", said Sanskar.

"Is everything alright? I mean you were very angry when I came here", asked Swara being concerned.

"Everything is fine. You don't worry. Just give us some time. We are meeting after a long time right", replied Sanskar and Swara too left for Hooghly Ghats with the crew.

Sanskar too reached there after sending Aman from the hotel. They completed their shooting for the day and thought to meet their fans who have come to see them. So, for about one hour they gave autographs and took selfies with those who had come to the place to watch them during the shoot. During that time Sanskar felt someone pulling his leg so he bent down to find a cute little girl with big eyes looking at him. She smiled at him which he reciprocated. She kissed his cheek and said "I love you Sanskar. And your wife is also too cute".

"Thank you, baby. By the way, I am not married, and I don't have a wife", said Sanskar.

"No, I have seen your marriage with Swara in the movie. And you both are so good together. I liked you so much"

All this while Swara was also present there listening to the little girls talk and she was blushing unknowingly. Seeing her blush, Sanskar felt very happy inside, but he didn't show it on his face.

Sanskar smiling at the little girl's innocence "baby, all that was not true. You just watched a movie where we just acted".

The baby looked at them confused, kissed both Swara and Sanskar's cheeks and left them as her mom was calling her.

Swara's heart: I just wish what that little girl said would become true.

Mind: What did you just say?

Heart: I didn't tell anything.

Mind: Come on Swara, don't tell me you fell for him.

Heart: Why, what's wrong in that? He is handsome, smart, loving and most importantly very caring. He will look after you very well Swara. Trust me.

Mind: But he is an actor, how can you trust him?

Heart: Swara is also an actress, stop giving lame excuses, you idiot. Swara, Sujatha aunty is also very sweet. I am telling you, if you marry Sanskar, you will get a good family along with a caring husband. You will live all the life again which you lost in all these years.

Mind: But what will they get in return?

Heart: you just shut up okay...

Swara came out of this trance when Sanskar shook her by holding her shoulders.

"Swara, where are you lost? Come it's getting late. We need to catch the flight to Mumbai"
