Everyone was laughing continuously.
Ap: now lets go we have to start function also.
Dp: Yes, lets go Shekhar ji.
Shekhar nodded and they went. Function started. Everyone enjoyed. Dance performances were done. Laksh and Ragini also danced. Swara was just sitting with Arshit in her lap and enjoying the function.
Ap: Swara beta, why are you sitting here? You should also dance na?
Swara nods no.
Ap: What no? Come give Arshit to me. I will see him.
Swara: ( sign) Aunty, let it be. I m happy to be with him. Pls, anyway I m not feeling like dance.
Ap smiles: okk
Then she look at Arshit.
Ap: Swara, he is sleeping.
Swara then only notices that he in deep sleep and smile.
Ap: beta, do one thing. Take him to Sanskar's room and lay him on the bed. You can also rest for sometime as you are looking tired. When function will be over, I will call you.
Swara's face expression changed. Ap sense it and say: Don't worry Swara
Sanskar is downstairs only and he busy with guest. You go. I will tell kaka to lead you to Sanskar's room.
Swara nodded reluctantly. Kaka lead her to Sanskar's room. Swara smile at him and kaka left.
Swara entered the room. She made Arshit lie down on the bed. then closed the door and turn to see the beautiful room. It well coloured and furnished with blue. She sees Kavita's photo on side table of the bed. She went and sat on the bed and took her photo frame in her hand. Her thought drifted back to past. Then She came in sense with Arshit movement which he was doing in his sleep due to not finding anyone around.
Swara smiled at him. She keep the photo back on the table and went close tohim. She also lied on the bed taking him in her embrace. Arshit also cuddle in her. Swara kept caressing his hairs and after sometime she too fell asleep. She was also tired due to continuous works from morning. Shopping, helping Shomi and AP in Sangeet arrangement, playing with Arshit so she sleep. She was having a peaceful smile on her face.
Sanskar excuse himself from guest and goes to AP.
Sanskar: Maa, Where is Arshit? He was with you only na?
Ap (smile): he was but before two hours not after that.
Sanskar: whatt? Where is he now? ( Worried and look around noon finding him anywhere)
Ap: He is in your room. He was sleeping so.....
Sanskar (intruppted): What he is in room that too alone since two hours and you didn't tell me?
Ap relax. He is with...
But before that Sanskar had already left to his room.
Laksh sees ap and Sanskar discussion. So he went and asked ap. Ap tell him everything.
Laksh smile at Swara care toward Arshit but get worried due to Sanskar. What will be his reaction? What if he will again shout at Swara?
Ap (noticed him): What happened Laksh? Come .
Saying this she left.
Laksh nods and says he is coming.
Laksh (monologue): oh god, what will happen now. How will Bhai react? He had promised to be polite with Swara but what will happen if he will see her in his room. He never let any other girl enter the room after Kavita. What to do?
Thinking all this Laksh immediately rushed to Sanskar's room but before he could stop him Sanskar had already entered the room. Laksh was praying that Sanskar should stay calm and Swara to be saves from his anger.
Sanskar entered the room and closed the door without thinking anything and turn around only to get shocked to see Swara, who was sleeping on the bed with Arshit cuddling in her embrace.
Laksh was trying to look inside through the window but could not due to curtains and window was closed. So, he keep ears on door to listen.
Sanskar came into his sense due to messaging tone of his phone. Swara also heard it and woke up.
She sees Sanskar standing at the door looking at her.
Sanskar; what are you doing here? (little rude)
Laksh who heard Sanskar, sighs thinking he can never change.
Swara heard Sanskar and got scared.
Sanskar noticed it and then remembered AP was telling something that Arshit was with someone. Then got that AP must have send her here.
Swara who was scared got up from the bed and start to go toward door. Sanskar sees her as she was wearing her footwear to go then his mind drifted toward Laksh's words. He sighed and says in a bit composed tone.
Sanskar: Hey, you can stay here.
Swara was confused and look at him because this time he was not rude.
Sanskar (continued): you stay with him for sometime. He may cry if he don't find anyone with him and it will be impossible to calm him and you can also rest. I m going, I just came to check on him.
Swara nodded confusingly. What happened to him suddenly? He is always ready to eat her any moment she was with Arshit but this time he didn't do anything but talk to her nicely.
Laksh who heard Sanskar got shocked and check his ears. If it is working properly.
Laksh: Did I really heard what Bhai said? Or is it my imagination? Bhai didn't get angry on Swara.
Sanskar turn to go but again turned around and said: Function is still going on and many guests are there. So, close the door so that no one disturb.
Saying that he opened the doors and went out.
Laksh hears his foot sound and hide himself. Sanskar came out of room and went downstairs again.
Laksh (monologue) yahooooooo!!!! Yipeeeeee!! Love you bhai. You kept your promise. I m so happy. Now let's see what will happen next.
To be continued...

Contention
August Marlow had always been an echo of those around him, finding safety in the diffusion of his presence amongst the larger group. His whole life had been a slow declination of self, trading away parts of himself to retain his sense of belonging. He'd never stepped forward to make his wants heard or to put a voice to his anger because to offer up something like that would be exposing weakness or highlighting vulnerability. With a strange system projected into his mind, an Island called Devil's Nest and without a group to lose himself within—For the first time in his life, August is forced to step into the role of the decision-maker, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
