Sanskar smiled as his plan worked. He got an idea that what he had to do next. Sanskar knew very well that if he ignore it for now then he may never get to know anything.

Sanskar(monologue) : so, step 1 done successfully. It is clear that whatever Laksh and Swara knows, also known to maa, baba. So, I have to know from them only before my dear brother do something as Swara had already alert him to tell them about me. I can't let go this chance.

Screen freeze with determined face of sanskar.

Laksh's cabin,

Laksh was totally immersed in his work when his phone beeps. He was already busy so he ignored it but it again beeps. He was still not affected then phone beeps again. He got irritated and took his phone and got shocked and scared at same time. It was from Swara who was continuosly messaging him to reply. He knew very well what she wanna say and it was also important for him. He also don't know how can he forget so much important thing and didn't call baba till now. He was thinking all this then again a message came from Swara.

Swara: ''LAKSH, PLEASE REPLY TO MY MESSAGES!!''

Laksh: ''Sorry Swara , I was busy.''

Swara: '' Leave that for now and tell me did you called baba?''

Laksh: ''Sorry, Swara I didn't but I will call him now.''

Swara: ''How can you do this Laksh. You know Sanskar very well na? What if he do something?''

Laksh: ''Swara relax, Bhai won't do anything now. He is still in office and in office timing he won't go anywhere. He is very particular about his work and why will he go today only?"

Swara: ''I dont know Laksh but I think something is wrong.''

Laksh: ''Swara, nothing will happen. I will call baba now only.''

Swara: You can't do that because maa phone is damaged and baba phone is switched off. I have already tried a lot and messaged also. Baba didn't read my messages till now.''

Laksh: ''whatt??''

Swara: "Yes, thats why I was messaging you but..."

Laksh: ''So sorry Swara, you don't worry. I will do something.''

Swara: ''But what will you do?''

Laksh: '' I will go to gadodia house in evening.''

Swara: ''Are you sure ?''

Laksh: '' Yes Swara, you relax. Bhai is in his cabin and by looking at him, It's not look like he will go to meet baba for now. Still, I will talk to baba.''

Swara: ''hmm, okk''

Laksh: ''yeah.''

Laksh kept his phone back on the table and rest his head on chair, closing his eyes to relax himself. He was also tensed regarding Sanskar. He knew that if Sanskar is determined to get something, then he will get it by hook or crook. So, it was not less than a challenge to stop him.

He opened his eyes and thought to check on Sanskar for once. He came out of his cabin and went toward Sanskar's cabin which was exactly opposite side of that floor. He was about to enter inside but Sanskar's PA Arjun stopped him.

Arjun: Laksh sir, Where are you going?

Laksh (serious and rudely): What do you mean where am I going? I m going to meet Bhai.

Arjun: I didn't mean that sir. It's just that Sanskar sir is not inside.

Laksh: (confused) What? where has he gone? that too in office hours?

Arjun: He went to see the site of Mr. Malhotra project.

Laksh: When?

Arjun: it's been 45 min now sir.

Laksh: Hmm okay. You go.

Arjun: One more thing sir. Sanskar sir asked me to inform you that you have to attend today's meeting. He won't be able to attend it.

Laksh: which meeting?

Arjun: Sir you forgot? That meeting with our foreign clients.

Laksh; Oh, okk. Inform me when they come.

Arjun: Ok sir.

Laksh: Ok , you may leave now.

Arjun nodded and went from there. Laksh also went to his cabin.

He sat on the chair and take a sigh.

Laksh (sighed): Thank god, Bhai is busy. He went to see that site. Problem solved!! I can go to gadodia house after meeting. As site is far from town, it will be night when he will back.

He closed his eyes but it suddenly open wide with shock as something clicked his mind.

Laksh (shock): But Bhai already seen that site and final formalites are also done then why did he go again?

Suddenly something strike his mind.

Laksh: OH!! SHITT!!!! NO, THIS CANT BE TRUE! how can I miss this?

Laksh took his phone with shaking hands and messaged Swara but this time Swara didn't reply. He called her too but still not any responce.

Laksh: Come on Swara. Pick up the phone damn it!!

Swasan room:

Swara's phone was on continuously ringing on the bed but she was not in room. She went to kitchen with Arshit to get something for him. When she came back, she made Arshit sit on bed carefully and then noticed her phone is ringing. She takes it and sees the caller ID and got somewhat scared to see its Laksh.

Swara:(monologue) Laksh, why is he calling me now? Is everything all right? What if Sanskar..... no, no Swara this cant be happen.

She replied Laksh in hurry. she was so worried.

Swara: ''What happened Laksh?''

Laksh: '' I m sorry Swara, everything messed up. Swara, you have to go to gadodia house now.''

Swara (confused): '' But why? ''

Laksh (frustrated): '' SWARA GO!!, Bhai went to gadodia house. You have to stop him.''

Swara (shocked and stumbled but somehow hold the phone and messaged): '' How? how can he go now?''

Laksh: '' He is sanskar. He can do anything. I know him. You have to go now. I would have gone but Bhai had already trapped me in meeting so you have to stop him.''

Swara:'' hmm Okay, I m going.''

She hurriedly get ready and get in car and went to Gadodia house with driver.

She was very restless and was literrally crying. She just wanted to rush Gadodia house and stop him.

Laksh was also worrried. He was moving one side to another in his cabin.

Laksh (monologue): Damn it! How can I miss this? Bhai had already finalised everything then why will he again want to visit that site? He knew very well that if I get to know that he is going to gadodia house. I will try my best to stop him that's why he asked Arjun to tell me to handle the meeting. Why bhai is so desparate to know everything? It's like I m watching some investigation thriller movie where we are some international criminals and Sanskar bhai is an interpole officer. Oh god!! Please help. Swara should reach before anything happen.

He comes.out of his by Arjun's voice who has came to inform him about meeting.

Arjun: May I come in sir?

Laksh: Yes, Arjun come.

Arjun: Sir, they have come already and waiting for you.

Laksh: Hmm ok, I m coming. you go.

Laksh sighed and wenr to conference hall.

Sanskar's side:

Sanskar left office immediately as he was very impatient to know the truth and another thing was Laksh. If he got to know that he is going somewhere, it would not take time to him to know where he was going. So, he left without his knowledge telling Arjun that Laksh will handle today's meeting with foreign clients. He never left office in working hours but this time, He don't have any choice.

Sanskar was about to reach gadodia house which was little far from office and was driving so fast which he don't do generally but does he care? Naah!!

Sanskar (monologue): It is perfect chance. I can't loose this time. I know Laksh will know in sometime but then also he won't be able to stop me but I m still not sure about Swara but it doesnt matter. Ii will know this damn truth anyhow today only.

Sanskar reached gadodia house. He parked the car and entered inside. He didn't see anyone in living room so, he thought to check in rooms.

He knockee the door few times but didnt get response. So, he slowly opened the door but still there was none. He checked the room and turn around to go and check another rooms but something caught his attention. There were the papers kept on bed. Sanskar got confused and took them and read it and he got shocked. It fell from his hand as soon as he read what's written in it.

Sanskar: (shocked) How can be it possible?

He comes in his sense hearing something or rather someone. It was Shomi who came back in her room as she went to kitchen. She was also shocked to see Sanskar there and that too with papers.

Sanskar (looking at her); Is it true?

Shomi didnt say anything. She just stayed numb and didn't react anything.

Sanskar: Maa, I m asking you only. Is it true?

Shomi ( said with difficultly): Yes..

Sanskar: And does Swara know about it? this adoption papers!!

Shomi: hmm, but she know only half truth.

Sanskar: and about these case papers?

Shomi didnt said anything. Sanskar went to her and hold her soulder and asked: Say maa, does Swara know about these case papers?

Shomi nods her head in no without uttering a word.

Sanskar (rudely): But why? Why you didn't tell her anything? She should also know about herself? how was her...( Couldn't complete as felt a tight slap on his face).

Shomi (angry): Don't you dare to talk about my daughter like that. She is my daughter and you are no one to change this fact. Why do you want her to know about something that is totally not related to her?

Sanskar:(sternly) It is related to her Maa. It is. You can't change it and I will tell her!! No wonder, she did all that to me. When she is only the blood of a back stabber then what can be expected!!

He said and was about to go when he heard Shomi.

Shomi (Angry): Why? why do you hate her so much? What has she ever done to you? She even accepted those false accusions you put on her!! Why do yoi want to hurt her more??

Sanskar stopped in his track who was going and turned around to face her.

Sanskar: ( confused) What are you talking about Maa?

Shomi realised what she was going to say and stopped immediately.

" No nothing" she said.

Sanskar came to her and made her sit on the bed and asked: Say maa, please. I have enough of this hide and seek games. Now, I want to know everything.

Shomi: I m sorry Sanskar but I can't tell you anything. I m bounded by promises. You have to find it youself.

Sanskar: but maa...

Shomi: please beta, don't force me. Even I want that you know everything but I cant say anything to you.

Sanskar: Ok maa, but why you don't want Swara to know about these. (pointing toward papers).

Shomi (deny): Sanskar...

Sanskar: No maa, Atleast you can tell me this. I want to know why?

Shomi: Ok Sanskar, I will tell you but you have to promise me. You will never tell this to anyone. Especially Swara, not even by mistake.

Sanskar (assured): I promise Maa, I will never say anything to anyone about it but please tell me.

"And why should she tell you? why should she believe you? so that you can get another thing to hurt my daughter!!!" A voice heard by both of them.

Sanskar and Shomi turned and were shocked to see Shekhar standing on the door with his office bag.

Shomi sees him and asked: Shekhar, When did you come?

Shekhar (angry) : Just now, When you were going to reveal evrything to him. I told you to burn these papers in morning only then why didnt you burn them till now!!

Shomi: Actually, I was going to do that only but...

Shekhar (angry): I don't want any explanation now and no need to tell him anything.

Sanskar (determined): but I won't go without knowing anything. I m her husband and I have full right to know about her.

Screen freezes on angry face of Shekhar, helpless face of Shomi and determined face of Sanskar and other side Swara's crying and restless face and worried face of Laksh.

To be continued...
