'Sun Mere Humsafar...' - SwaSan Fanfiction

Chapter 34 (I) : A Decision Needed To Be Taken

Sanskar held Swara's hand and made his way back to the basement cum party hall. When he searched around to find Ragini, he found her waiting for them. Sanskar smiled and signalled Swara to come, to which she gladly obliged.

"Swara, Ragini," Sanskar brought the two girls face to face with each other to introduce them to each other properly, "Ragini, Swara. And I have already told you both about each other," he said and Swara forwarded her hand towards Ragini for handshake.

"Hi! I'm Swara. Nice to meet you, Ragini."

"Same here, Swara," she smiled and shaked hands with her, "I'm so glad I got to met you."

"Ragini... I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't know that... ugh... you know," Swara apologised genuinely.

"Just chill, I can understand your feelings. If I also saw someone getting close to Laksh, I would feel jealous, too," Ragini chuckled and blushed a little by her own words.

"Hmm, so someone is finally admitting the truth," Sanskar teased her and she glared at him.

"Swara, I know you love him very much but just ignore him. He really enjoys pulling my legs especially when it's about Laksh," she accused.

"So, you both can have a nice 'girl talk' with each other, meanwhile I'm going. I have something important to do," Sanskar said and almost turned to leave.

"Sanskar..." Swara called, "Do you need some help? I can come with you."

"No, Swara, it's okay. You have already done more than enough for today's function. Now, you just relax. I'll be back in some time," he smiled in assurance and went from there leaving both girls alone.

"Swara," Ragini turned towards her, "you know... Sanskar bhai is so lucky that he has got someone who loves him so much," she smiled lifting Swara's heart.

"No, Ragini" she confessed, "I'm the one who is lucky that I have him in my life."

Ragini smiled nodding her head, admiring this new pair in front of her already. On the other hand, Swara's mind got preoccupied by other things.

A tap on the microphone by one of the working men to test the working of the microphone made everybody quiet in the party hall as there were rising anticipations of something great and exciting among everyone as this evening was all about celebrating twenty glorious years of Kolkata Hospital. A small stage was set up at the edge of the wide basement and a podium at the right side, on which the microphone was being fixed. And the ones who were the highlight of this party were none other than the men who struggled day and night since twenty years to bring this hospital to the position where it was today. The moment the brothers Ramprasad and Durgaprasad stepped graciously upon the stage with smile on their faces, the crowd welcomed their Dean and CEO with several claps and hoots, what they rightfully deserved. Swara, Anushka, Ragini, Laksh and Rajat were standing together clapping for them.

"Thank you everyone," Ramprasad made sure to thank the audience that included his family and his management team and his staff of doctors that were like his second family. When he took a look around the hall, he could see everyone except the ones who were the reason behind him standing here today. He paused for sometime, and as if an invisible force calling him out, his eyes went up towards the staircase only to find the one he had been waiting for all this while.

Sanskar had the brightest smile on his face as he brought his mother, Sujata, down carefully. His one arm was over her back and his other hand held her palm to support her. For the first time in a while, the Maheshwaris found their beloved look a bit healthier, dressed up in a beautiful maroon saree, and adorned just like she used to be before. Ramprasad's eyes glinted at the sight of his wife who had not lost her charm even after all these years of being unwell.
