Swara and Ragini were getting ready. Swara was ready in beautiful blood red color lehnga with all matching jewelleries and accessories. She was looking like an angel.

Ragini was also looking beautiful in pink and blue color lehnga with matching jwellery. She was still getting ready and scolding make up artist to like this and that.

Shomi comes inside. She went toward them.

Shomi (smile): My both daughter are looking very beautiful.

Swara smiled while Ragini said: Oh mom please. I m already beautiful. You can say her ( pointing swara) that she is looking ok for today but beautiful? Naah!! It will be a big mistake.

Shomi simply ignore her stupid talk thinking this girl can't change.

Shomi: Done? Done with your taunting? For god sake Ragini, grow up. Today is your marriage. Be mature sometime and for second thought Swara don't need anything or reason to look beautiful. She is always beautiful. Now get ready fast.

Ragini again got busy in getting ready ignoring Shomi's words.

Shomi caressed Swara face and says.

Shomi: you are looking like angel in wedding dress Shona.

Swara smiles at her looking down.

Shomi: Be ready. Will take you downstairs after sometime.

Swara nods and Shomi left. Swara sits and her mind roam around thoughts.

Swara (monologue): Once again my life took turn. I m going to marry Sanskar. Same Sanskar who accused me once for something I didn't do. Who abandoned me at our marriage two years ago. But then also I could never hate him. Yes, I still love him and always will. I know that he will never love me. Still I love him and will live with this hope that may be one day he will love me. I fear sometimes what will happen once he will come to know the truth.

" Shona"

Swara comes out of her thoughts by hearing shomi's voice.

Shomi (coming there): Shona, Ragini, are you both ready?

Swara and Ragini nodded.

Shomi: Okk, lets go. It's time for Muhurat.

She covered their faces with veils and take them downstairs.

Sanskar and Laksh were already sitting on mandap. Laksh was eagerly waiting for Ragini to come. He look at her smilingly. Sanskar was sitting on mandap with blank look. Swara and Ragini were taken to mandap and they take their seats beside their respective grooms. Then Sanskar just for once turn his head side way and look at Swara whose face covered with veil and then looked straight.

Arshit was with AP.

Mantras started. Sanskar and Laksh did what pandit ji was saying. After sometime they stand for pheras. They took pheras and then take sit again. After that pandit ji tell grooms to apply vermilion in their respective bride's hairline and make wear them Mangalsutra (nuptial chain).

Bride faces were unveiled. Sanskar looked at her but she didn't lift her gaze. She was looking down. She was going through indescribable feelings that she can't express.

Firstly, Sanskar being elder to Laksh, applied vermilion in Swara's hairline and made her wear Mangalsutra. Then Laksh did the same to Ragini.

Swara feels so happy when Sanskar applied vermilion in her hairline because this time it was not any dream that would be broken once she will wake up. It was real. She is finally married to Sanskar, her first and only love of her life. She closed her eyes and was trying to be hold herself with the feeling she was getting now but she couldn't help herself and cried due to this heartfelt overwhelming feeling. Shomi who was sitting just behind her felt her crying. She knew what she must be feeling and she rubbed her back and pats her head slowly to console her.

Swara felt relax and composed herself. Sanskar who was sitting beside her also felt she was crying. He looked at her being confused but feels bad for her still he didn't do anything maintaining his straight look.

Marriage was done. They were declared husband and wife and They took blessing from elders.

As the marriage was held in mm only so there was not any farewell was going to be done.

After sometime all guests left and now it was time for Shomi and Shekhar to leave.

Shekhar: ok DP ji, we should leave now.

Dp: ji.

Shekhar goes to Swara and put his hand on her head and say: Swara beta, be happy always and if you need me anytime, I m just a call away. Okk?

Swara was hardly controlling her tears but she nodded and hugged Shekhar. She couldn't able to hold herself and cried.

Shekhar look at sanskar and said: I know you have done wrong in past but still I hope that you will never hurt her in future. Please keep her happy and don't break my trust this time.

Sanskar nods assuringly.

Then Shekhar blessed Ragini and Laksh. Shomi also blessed them and left with Shekhar.

After that some rituals were done. Swara and Ragini were taken to their room respectively after rituals and Sanskar and Laksh also went to their rooms after sometime.

Raglak consummate their marriage.

(Raglak scene is Not exaggerated)

Swara was siting on the bed taking Arshit. He was sleeping being tired of playing. Swara adore him while and caressed his hair with smile. She was about to place him on bed carefully then only Sanskar came.

He comes inside and closed the door. He sees Swara, who has taken sleeping Arshit in her lap. She was not having veil this time. She looked at him but then shifted her gaze and placed Arshit carefully on bed. Sanskar sees this and say.

Sanskar: ahhm, You can change and sleep on the bed. I will sleep on coach.

Swara wanted to interupt him but she didn't know how to start. He will understand her sign language or not? Still she gained some courage and took her phone and typed.

"Its not needed. You can sleep on bed. Arshit will be sleep in the middle. Only if you don't have any problem.

(Note:- For now Sanskar don't understand her sign language so Swara talks to him by writing or typing.)

Sanskar: are you sure?

Swara: yes.

Sanskar nodded and went to washroom to get changed.

Swara got up from the bed and took her cloths out from her bag. After Sanskar came out. She went to change. Sanskar lied on one side of the bed. Swara also comes out of washroom after few minutes and lie in her side.

Sanskar sleeps while she was still awake and sees him sleeping. She smiles unknowingly and slept after sometime.

Swasan room;

Sanskar woke up first and sees Arshit sleeping with Swara and cuddling in her. It was unusual for him because every morning, it's him whom Arshit cuddles and sleep. But this sight didn't make him jealous at all. He was feeling happy.

Swara's sleep got disturbed by the sun rays and she woke up. Sanskar sensed it and closed his eyes immediately. He also didn't know why he did that.

Swara sees Arshit and smiled at his cuteness. She slowly freed herself from Arshit and placed him near Sanskar because he had came to her side and may fall. Then, She got up from bed and toom her cloths and went to washroom.

After she left, Sanskar opened his eyes. He has been noticing everything by his half open eyes which Swara didn't notice. He smiled unknowingly but then thought something and his face expression turned serious.

Swara comes out of washroom drying her hair. She sees Sanskar awake but nervously turn her face away. Sanskar looked at her for a couple of seconds then looked away. He got up and went to fresh n up.

Swara was getting ready in front of mirror. She applied vermilion in her hairline and remembered how Sanskar applied it in her hairline yesterday. Then wears her Mangalsutra. Her vermilion and Mangalsutra was showing that now she is married woman. She smiled but it vanished immediately when she thought that she is married but still incomplete. She felt hurt at that moment. Every girl expect love and affection from her husband after getting married but she can't expect anything from Sanskar. She don't know he will ever love her or not. She sighed thinking it and blinked several time to avoid her tears that was filling in her eyes. Then She came in sense listening Arshit cry.

She runs to him and takes him in her arm and try to calm him. Sanskar came out and sees this. Arshit stop crying immediately in Swara's lap. Sanskar sighs, as it was not new for him. He has seen a lot of times that how much comfortable he is with Swara.

Swara knew that Sanskar was there but she didn't look at him. Sanskar also get ready. Then they heard a knock on the door. Sanskar opened the door and sees AP standing there. She comes inside. Swara sees her and takes her blessing.

Ap: God bless you.

Swara smiled at her.

Ap: Ok, now give Arshit to me. I will make him ready.

Swara: No maa, I will do it.

Ap: No no beta, you must be tired due to wedding and rituals and...

Swara hold her hand to stop her and then tell.

Swara: No, I will do it. I have taken enough rest. You go maa, please.

Ap was about to say something but Swara looked at her with assuring look at she will do it.

Ap (smile): Okk, I can't win from you. Its look like I will be that mother in law who can't control her dil.

Swara smiled. Sanskar was standing there with confused expression. He was listening everything what AP was saying but what Swara signed, he didn't understand. Swara went to Arshit and took him to washroom to make him ready.

After she went, Sanskar asked AP.

Sanskar: What was she saying? I only understood no.

Ap:(sigh) she said she will make him ready. She had taken enough rest.

Sanskar: How did you understand everything?

Ap: Swara is puzzle for strangers but the one want to understand her only can know what she says and in my opinion, you never tried to understand her.

Sanskar (suddenly turned serious): And I don't even want to.

Ap (smile): Then why did you ask what she said?

Sanskar was about to say something but Ap interrupt.

Ap: Leave it, I know you will give lame excuses. Come downstairs with Swara...

Sanskar:( interupted) Why Swara? She can come alone na?

Ap: Sanskar let me complete. I was saying come with Swara and Arshit. Pooja is going to start in sometime.

Sanskar: what pooja? I m not coming. I have to go to office.

Ap: you can go after pooja and breakfast. I know you are not interested in this but still you have to.

Sanskar (defeated): okk.

Ap: Okk, I m going now. I have some work.

Saying this she left.

Then Swara comes out with Arshit. She had wrapped him in towel and placed him on bed. She wanted to ask something from Sanskar but she was hesitating. She sees pen and paper on side table. She takes it and write something.

Sanskar was confused watching her as she gives a paper to him.

He reads.

"Can you please tell me, Where are Arshit's clothes? I have to make him wear it."

Sanskar: Oh, It's in cupboard only.

He walk upto cupboard and open it for her.

Sanskar: see, here it is.

Swara sees. There was everything kept to be use for Arshit. She nodded at him.

Sanskar continued: Maa arranged it. Everything is here. You can take anything from here.

Swara again nodded. Sanskar remained silent then he notices Swara's bags.

Sanskar: umm listen..

Swara who took out arshit clothes and was going to make him wear it turns confusingly and saw him.

Sanskar continued: you.. you can keep your belongings in my cupboard. This one is small and only Arshit's things can be kept here. So, if you don't have problem, you can keep it in mine.

Swara was confused as why he is behaving different. Still she nodded.

Sanskar: Pooja will be start. We have to go downstairs.

Swara nodded again. She made Arshit ready and both left downstairs with Arshit in Swara's arms.

Swara tried to give Arshit to Ap as she has to take blessing from DP but Arshit didn't leave her.

Dp: Its okk beta, you don't need to touch our feet. You are daughter and daughters are Goddess Lakshmi. (kept his hand on her head).

Ap: yes beta, and let Arshit stay with you only. He is being naughty day by day.

Swara smiled.

Sujata: but jiji, Its our culture that newly married daughter in laws takes everyone's blessing first but see Swara. She was sleeping this much late and she also didn't took pallu ( veil) on her head. She is madwadi bahu. She should know this. Ragini is better than he, Atleast, she take everyone blessing nd took sari pallu on her head.

Sanskar heard it and want to stop Sujata but AP speaks.

Ap: Sujata!!!, Firstly I don't believe in all this. Doing something or not, its totally depend upon the person. If she don't want to cover her head with veil then she will not and I don't have any problem with that. Talking about waking up, Swara was already awake and ready when Ragini came but she has to make Arshit ready. So, Don't use your mind too much.

Swara was just standing looking down.

Laksh: Yes chachi, What will happen if we not follow some old typical traditional trends. We are not ignoring our culture. Doing something and forced to do something, both are different

By Ignoring these small things, I don't think, culture will vanish from our lives.

Sujata: It's not small thing Laksh!! I m telling you jiji. She is not good. See, first day itself she made us to fight.

Laksh: Really chachi? as if i know, you fight everyday right?( taunt) and..

Sanskar: ( interupted Laksh) And its not necessary for Swara to do what you have done at your time.

Everyone was surprised that Sanskar supported Swara. Laksh smiled looking at Sanskar.
