Evening:

Sanskar wraped up his work then went out from the office and sit inside car. After sometime, he reached baadi. He took a sigh and went inside. He knocked the door. After a minute, Shomi opened the door and she was surprised to see Sanskar.

Shomi: Sanskar, you here?

Sanskar : ah.. hmmm. Actually...

Shomi: oho, see, I didn't even call you inside. Come in beta then we will talk.

Sanskar smiled at her and followed her.

Shekhar was sitting in living room. He asked : Shomi, who's that?

Shomi (coming inside with Sanskar): Shekhar, Sanskar has come.

Hearing Sanskar's name, Shekhar got angry. He got up and asked: Now, what do you want? Once again, you are here to blackmail us to know something right?

Shomi was shocked to see Shekhar angry. She went to him and tried to stop him.

Sanskar looked at him but he knew that it was his fault.

Shomi: Shekhar, why are you saying like that? This is not the way to behave with someone. He is our son in law.

Shekhar: So what? Did he ever behave like that? No right? So, why should I behave myself?

Shomi: Shekhar, please.

Sanskar knows that Shekhar's anger is justified. So, he stopped Shomi.

Sanskar: Let it be Maa. He is right. He has all right to get angry with me. I was wrong. So, I deserve it.

Shomi and Shekhar gets confused listening him.

Shekhar: So why did you come?

Shomi: Shekhar...

Sanskar (sighed): Baba, I know you are angry with me but will you please give me one chance to say something?

Shekhar: No, I don't have time to listen anything.

Sanskar: Baba please...(Request)

Shekhar was adamant. Shomi sees this.

Shomi: Shekhar, Atleast listen to him na. May be he want to say something important.

Shekhar was still not ready.

Shomi: Shekhar, Please listen to him for Swara.

Hearing Swara's name Shekhar calmed a bit.

Shekhar: Ohky but only for Swara.

Sanskar (happy): Thanks baba, thanks Maa.

Shomi smiled at him.

Shekhar: Hmm, ok have seat.

Sanskar walked towards them and touched their feet. Shekhar got surprised by his gesture. He was shouting on him and he never thought that Sanskar would be calmed and touch his feet.

Shomi smiled and blessed him. Shekhar also blessed him unwillingly. They took their seats.

Shomi: Say Sanskar, what you wanna say?

Sanskar: Yes maa, but I don't know from where to start..

Shekhar: Come to the point.

Sanskar: Maa, baba, if I ask forgiveness for my deeds will you able to forgive me?

Shomi and Shekhar get confused by his words.

Sanskar (sad laughs): I know, I have done so many wrong things that you are not getting for what mistake I m talking about.

Shomi: Say clearly beta.

Sanskar: I came to know that Swara was innocent. She never did anything and I m feeling ashamed on myself because of my deeds what I did two years ago. I was a big idiot that I could not understand difference between wrong and right. I thought that Swara was responsible for everything and behaved so insensible and immature. That day, I did so wrong with Swara, she faced for the something what she never did. She could have hate me for that but she didn't. Because she is pure hearted girl and it's all because of you baba. You have given her those values. She married me for Arshit and loves him as his mother. I came to know the truth from Laksh and that was the worst feeling of my life. I was not guilty but I started hating myself for that. But you know maa, when I told Swara everything and asked forgiveness. She forgave me so easily

Still, I m not forgiven. I will not be forgiven till you both will forgive me because it was not only Swara who suffered. You also suffered because of me. I totally disrespect you that day without thinking anything and broke the marriage. I can never feel what a girl feel when her marriage get broken on marriage day itself at the Mandap and Swara had to go through all this but I know that her family also face the consequences and taunts of the society. Whatever I did was totally unforgettable and unforgivable still I want to say sorry for my mistakes.

( He get up and fold his hand in front of Shekhar)

I m sorry that you had to suffer because of me. I m sorry for being the reason of your daughter's pain, for the reason of her tears. I know that Swara is more than a daughter to you. I m sorry for hurting her so badly. I m sorry for reason of your pain. Sorry for insulting you. Sorry that you have to bears so much because of my one stupid mistake. I m sorry for all the mistakes I did. For blackmailing yoj. For hurting you. Please forgive me. Because your forgiveness really matters for me and if you are not able to forgive me then please punish me. I cannot do more than asking forgiveness. I know it won't change anything or correct everything in past. Still, it can make present and future perfect. I will happily accept whatever you will decide. (Tears in his eyes and he looked down with closed eyes, still folding his hand)

Suddenly he feels someone moved his hand down. He opened his eyes only to see Shekhar. He was standing in front of him with smile on his face. Shomi was standing beside him.

Sanskar: Baba...

Shekhar: I m happy Sanskar the you realize your mistake and accepted it in front of us. You showed the guts to ask forgiveness knowing that whatever happen I will never forgive you as I was angry on you. I m happy that you did.

Sanskar: It means you forgave me.

Shekhar: Who said that? You only said na you will be happy to accept your punishment.

Shomi was shocked hearing him.

Sanskar become sad on hearing it but says: Yes baba, I will do everything.

Shekhar: Then you have to promise me that you will keep my daughter happy. You will never let her cry.

Sanskar was surprised.

Shekhar: What happened? Confused?

Sanskar nods.

Shekhar: This is only your punishment. You said na, you became the reason for her pain and tears. So, now your punishment is to become the reason of her smile and happiness. I know you will do it and won't disappoint me this time. Sanskar, Swara is not like other girl. Everyone has someone whom he share everything but Swara always stayed reserved to herself. She don't open up herself untill someone force her to do. I know she can't speak....

Sanskar: Please baba don't say like that. I never thought it like her weakness. She have no disability. She is perfect and I promise I will keep her happy. I will never let her cry.

Shekhar nodded and hugged him. Sanskar also hugged him back happily.

Shekhar (breaking hug): I trust you Sanskar.

Shomi (Happy): Sanskar, you will hug your baba only? not your maa?

Sanskar smiled and hugged her also. After breaking the hug.

Shomi: Sanskar, now forget everything and move on because whatever you did was because you loved Kavita. You didn't know anything.

Sanskar: No maa, I loved Kavita but this can't be any reason to justify myself. Love teaches us to trust our love. Not to become blind so much that could not understand the difference between wrong and right. Love makes our life beautiful but don't tell us to make other's life hell. I was wrong Maa. I did mistake.

Shomi felt happy hearing his thought. She blessed him and prayed silently that her daughter get Sanskar's love.

Shomi: Ok now leave all that. You sit here. I will get something for you to eat.

Sanskar: No Maa, I should go now. I just wanted to talk about all this. So, I came here. I should go now.

Shomi: So what, Atleast have tea?

Shekhar: Yes Shomi is right. You sit Sanskar.

Sanskar could not deny more and sat on couch. Shomi went to kitchen.

Sanskar and Shekhar were talking randomly. Suddenly, Sanskar thinks something and say: Baba, can I ask you something?

Shekhar: Yes Sanskar say..

Sanskar: Baba, are you angry on Smita till now?

Shekhar got confused: Sorry, Smita? Who is she?

Sanskar: Baba, Smita was Swara's friend in college. You don't remember I think.

Shekhar: No beta, I don't think so. Because Swara has no freinds in college as I said she was so reserved and occupied to herself. Secondly, she didn't want that someone make fun of her because of...you know...

Sanskar: I understand baba, I m sorry. May be I was thinking something else.

( monologue:That means Laksh lied to me)

Shekhar: It's Okk.

Then only Shomi came there and serve them tea. Sanskar have his tea still in his thought. He was only thinking about Laksh's lie. He was smiling to Shekhar and Shomi but his mind was somewhere else. After having his tea, he bid them bye and left from there.

After Sanskar went,

Shomi: You really forgave Sanskar and trust him?

Shekhar (smiles and nods) : Yes because it's not same Sanskar whom we saw two years back. He is really changed and everyone deserves a chance. So, I can atleast give him one chance.

Shomi nods with smile.

Shekhar: By the way, you also Started blackmailing.

Shomi got confused then get that he was saying because she forced him to listen Sanskar and blackmail him by Swara's name. She knew that he will not deny when it comes to Swara.

Shomi: So ,it's good na I did. See, now everything is clear.

Shekhar: Well you are right. I have to accept it.

Shomi smiles.

In car:

Sanskar was driving car. He was only thinking one thing why did Laksh lied.

Sanskar (monologue): Once again Laksh!! Once again you lied to me. This is too much now. There is no Smita and definitely no Amit. It was all lie. What are you hiding Laksh? I know Swara may also don't know about it. Now it's enough Laksh!! This time you gone too far. I m not going to leave you. Enough of this hide and seek game. Let's have it face to face. You will answer my every question today!!!

He was very angry on Laksh. He was driving his car with full speed and wanted to reach mm as soon as possible. Few minutes later, he reached mm. He parked his car and came outside the car then immediately rushed inside to meet Laksh.

But as he entered, what he saw totally shocked him. Swara was standing with tears in her eyes which were about to fall any moment from her eyes. Ragini and Sujatha were saying something or shouting. AP was trying to stop Sujatha and Laksh was trying to explain something.

To be continued...
