Swara.

I wish, I had a normal life like any other person. Being the daughter of Dr Shekhar Gadodia and Mrs Sharmishta Bose, life wasn't never easy for me. My dida and dadu lived alone in Banaras. And they were too adamant to come to Kolkata as that was our ancential house. So, Dad sent me to Banaras. I got three gems from there. Naira, Roshni and Siddhant. They became my best buddies from there.

I used to visit Mom and Dad twice in a month. But still, every day, she used to call me. And then, when I passed my tenth board, it happened. Dida and Dadu died in an accident. After that, I shifted to my parents. In that time period, I got so much attached to dida and Dadu that, I lost my sense, after their accident. But because of Mom's care and love, I moved on. I got connected with my Mom, whereas Ragini with Dad. 

I enjoyed living with my family. And then, after twelfth board, I flew to London for studying along with Naira. And after competing my graduation in medical science, I thought to take a vacation before applying for post graduation. And that's when, my Mom committed the suicide.

Before seven years ago, my Dad's NH FARMS hospital was going on loss. Gadodia group of companies were losing every client. My Mom and Dad were very disturbed. They tried their maximum to make everything alright. Ragini was in England for completing her business studies. 

And that time, a person named Rahul Devsena, came forward with a proposal. He asked Mom and Dad to construct a bio plant near to plains. Mom, who understood that the bio plant would absorb fertility of the nearby fields and land, disagreed immediately. But, Dad was so greedy. He, without my mother's knowledge, agreed on constructing the plant. And the construction started after six months.

Mom came to know about it through the divisional heads. She was very angry. She fought with Dad. She tried to make him understand the upcoming havoc, but everything in vain.

After two years of struggle, Mom succeeded in making the company stable. And in this period, Dad became a hoe. He slept with his hospital staffs. Mom broke down when she came to know about it. She blamed herself for everything. And at last, she committed suicide. I went into depression. Only because of Naira and Roshni, I came back to life.

Ragini stood with Dad, whereas I ignored him completely. He was the murderer of my mother! He killed my Mom. And then, I stopped trusting men. How can I even trust a man, when I own father was a hoe?

I don't know, with what records and proofs, Ragini was saying that Dad was innocent. I don't even know the person, who is behind Ragini's accident. But I'm sure, it isn't Rahul Devsena, he died three years ago in a bomb blast. And now, I'm investigating it.

My mother's biggest dream was to see me as a successful cardiologist. And I worked hard for that. And now, in my late 20's, I'm a very reputed chief cardiologist in India. And I'm sure, Mom must be very proud of me.

But Sanskar...he is making my heart flutter. He is making me think about a family. I know, Ragini is in love with Laksh Maheshwari, Sanskar's elder brother. And I'm so happy for her. At least Ragini deserves it. About Sanskar, he became my good friend. But I'm still not sure to trust him. What if, he betrays me at the most vulnerable situation? I can't...I can't...fall do him!

Today, now...I'm dancing with him. I'm stepping for my favourite song. I saw his intensity looking into my eyes. Does he love me? No! I need to stay away from him. But, the painting...his flirty talks...everything is making me lose myself in him.

All of a sudden, I felt myself falling. I felt an immense pain on my stomach. I saw blood in Sanskar'a hands.

"Swara..." Sanskar's screamed my name. I fell into darkness.
