swasan... i do... (Completed)

chap 25- past unfolds

Swara's eyes opened up with morning rays of sun. She woke up with a jerk. Thinking of it as a bad dream, swara tried to find sanskar on the other side of bed when her gaze fell over the couch. Sanskar was sleeping in a very uncomfortable position. Last night flasehed in front of her eyes. She sighed a little and held her head. The thing she dreaded the most has finally revealed.

She came out of the washroom completely dressed in a blue saree. She looked at sanskar still sleeping on the couch. With a great hesitation, swara put her hand over sanskar's head. Tear marks were making their way on his face. Swara felt immense regret seeing him like this. But she was the reason.

In her deep thoughts she did not realise when her hair dripped water on sanskar's eyes. He opened his eyes and sat up all of a sudden. His head ached suddenly. He knew he was about to get another attack of migrain. He held his head suddenly.
Swara: sanskar... you ok?
Sanskar did not reply instead gave her a glare. A glare so filled with rage that for a moment swara's heart gave a jolt with fear.
Sanskar stood up and went straight to the washroom leaving swara's heart in pain again. Swara sat on the couch trying not to cry.

Everybody was seated on the dining table. Everybody was happy. Extremely happy.
Ap: i dont know for which of the good deeds i have done... god gifted me such a lovely dil.
Swara smiled looking at ap. At least someone was happy. But her heart ached again realising that she has betrayed ap and dp too. Her eyes again welled up. Ragini sensed something wrong. She was able to read even the empty mind of swara.

After breakfast, ragini took swara in a corner.
Ragini: swara....
Swara faked a smile.
Swara: raguuu...
Ragini: dont fake... tell me what happened?
Swara: offo.. now you want to know what happened on my wedding night.. you will know when yours happen.
Ragini: ek thappad padega na toh smjh aa jayega. Tell me what happened? What are you hiding?
Swara tried to hide her tears.
Ragini: swaraaa...
Swara was about to tell something when a voice came. SANSKARRR..
Before she could even react, swara's feet started to move in the direction. Ragini too came running behind her.
Sanskar was lying on the floor near stairs. His condition was indicating that he had fallen from them. There was blood on his forehead and his eyes were closed. Lakshya was holding his head trying to wake him up. Dp came running.
Dp: take him to the room.

After sometimes
Dp came out wiping his sweat.
Ap: how is my child?
Dp: fine.. he is fine ap ji. Dont worry.
He looked at swara in dishelved state.
Dp: swara bete... did he have a tension last night?
Swara's lips trembled. She knew she had to lie
Swara: no papa..
Dp: lakshya, you were there na when he fell down?
Lakshya: yes papa.. actually he said he was having a bad headache so i asked him to sleep for sometimes. He was going in his room and then on the stairs he held his hand and called my name but before i could reach, he fell down from the stairs.
Dp nodded.
Dp: may be due to wedding stress he got migrain attack. You all take care of him. I have to go to hospital. Some energency.

Suddenly a lady came there crying. ( house was full of relatives due to wedding)
Dp: what happened badi ma.
Lady: my grandson... this girl.. ap i had told you to reconsider your decision of marrying your son with this inauspicious creature.
Lakshya: dadi ji.. she is my bhabhi.
Lady: she is inauspicious. Just after her birth she ate her mother. And now trying to eat her husband too.
Had it been another day, swara would not have listened to all these things. But for her already damaged heart, these words were like pepper. Tears came out of her eyes.
Lady: ap... there is still time. Throw her out of the house.
Ap's blood boiled. Dp came near that lady and folded his hand.
Dp: badi ma.. marriage is over. Your train timing is after 1 hour. Better you do your packing.
Lady: but i was going tommorow.
Dp: yes.. but i cant tolerate anyone in my house who has right to insult my family. Swara is my daughter.
Lady looked on the floor. Swara looked towards dp.
Dp: bete... you are my proud. I dont pay heed to such people.
Swara's heart again ached. Yes.. she had betrayed him too. God gave her parents again and she betrayed them.
