Advertisement

Sanskar: But I m not going anywhere without knowing anything. She is my wife and I have full right to know about her.

Shekhar: Oh , so suddenly you realised that she is your wife.

Sanskar (angry but try to remain calm): Baba, She is my wife. I know it well but for now this is not the topic. Whether I have realised or not that She is my wife. The thing is, I want to know the something and I will.

Shekhar: you will not get to know anything and there's nothing to do with you whatever it is.

Shomi (try to calm shekhar): Shekhar, please calm down. Don't get angry on him. It was me who was going to tell him.

Shekhar: But he was the one who provoked you, right?

Sanskar: yes baba, I was insisting her to tell because I wanted to know.

Baba, please tell me. I know you don't like me for whatever happened two years back, because of my behavior but as husband of Swara, I want to know. please baba. ( requested)

Shekhar: No, we will not tell you anything and this is my final decision.

Sanskar (politely): Maa, baba please.

Shomi given apologetic look to him while Shekhar was determined. Sanskar sighed.

Sanskar: Ok baba, if you can't let me know anything then, let Swara know something.

Shekhar (confused): What? What are you trying to say?

Sanskar: (sternly) Baba, I requested you but you are determined on your decision but the problem is I m also very stubborn person. If I want something then I will get it by hook or crook.

Shomi: Sanskar beta, why are you playing with words? What do you want to say? Just say clearly!

Sanskar (smile); Maa, I know you will never go against baba and tell me anything. So, I will know it by Swara only.

Shekhar: but she don't know anything about it.

Sanskar: So what, If I will tell her that she is not your daughter but daughter of a criminal, a murderer. She will come to you and ask about it then you will be left with no option than to tell her. So, If you can't reveal it to me. You have to reveal it to her and trust me. It will be more painful for both of you.

Shekhar : No, you can't do this!!

Sanskar: I will do this only.

Sanskar turned to go but shomi stop him.

Shomi: You won't tell her anything Sanskar. She will be broken.

( To Shekhar) Shekhar, please stop him. Please tell him to not to say anything to her.(pleads).

Sanskar: I won't tell her anything but you have to tell me.

Shekhar: And why will I believe you that after knowing about it, you won't tell her Anything?

Sanskar: You don't have any other choice but to believe me.

Shekhar (sighed): Ok, I will tell you but you will never let Swara know about it.

Sanskar: I promise, she won't know.

They took seat and Shekhar started to say...

Flashback;

25years ago;

Shekhar pov;

We were having a happy family. My father, mother, brother Sashwat and his wife Chitra, me and Shomi. It was only one year for our marriage. We all were very living together happily in Jaipur. Sashwat was my elder brother and Chitra, his wife was also very kind lady. One day, Bhai declared that Chitra bhabhi is pregnant. We all very happy with this news and excited for baby.

Days passed. Everything was fine but suddenly one day my father died. We were broken by his death. We were trying to support each other. My mother was in state of shock with sudden death of my father. Bhabhi was in her seventh month. She was also taking stress which was dangerous for her and her child.

It was one week to Dad's death, we were sitting for breakfast and were trying to have something because it was so tough for us come out of sudden unfortunate death of Dad. Then, my Dad's lawyer came to me and gave me some papers. I took that and read that.

After reading that, I was shocked because my father had put his everything on my name. His company, his bank balance, his shares and nothing was on my brother's name. I never thought that my dad will do any injustice with my brother. There must be some mistake. I talked to lawyer about it.

"How can this happen, why Dad's everything is on my name and nothing on bhai's name?" I asked.

Lawyer told that my father only called him and said to change the will. Everything was divided between me and Sashwat earlier but two days before his death, he called him and asked to change the will and put everything on my name and its also stated that if I tried to give anything to my brother then our whole property will be donated to orphanage and NGO that was adopted by Dad.

I was confused why Dad did that? I turned to look at Sashwat who was looking at me differently. I didn't exactly figure out what was going on his mind and for that I still regret. For once, I could know what he was thinking? What was he upto?

Days passed, Sashwat's behavior was changing which was noticed by everyone. Sometime we asked him but he refused.

One night, me and Shomi were sleeping in our room. Suddenly, we heard some sound and came out of room and we're shocked to see the scene in front of us. Shashwat was holding a gun and my mother was lying lifeless on the floor and sound was of gunshot. His eyes was red in fury and anger. He didn't seems to be in sense. I got out of control watching that. He killed my mother. I hold his collar and push him and questioned him why he did that? Why he killed Maa?

He sees me and jerk me angrily and then he gave the answer which shock me or make me numb.

He said" Get lost you bastard!! Who are you to question me? huh!! You are the reason of everything. Bloody looser!!! Because of you, I could never get what I thought. You snatched everything what is mine and today I had my perfect plan to send you out of my life but before I could do something, Maa came in my way like dad. So, I had to kill her. "

I was shocked hearing it.

"Shocked!! yes Dad was killed by me only. He didn't died. I did everything so that he may happily give his whole property to me and your shares too but how can I forget that you were always his favourite. He distributed everything between us but I thought to change the will and that's why I called our lawyer to change the will and bribed him but that bastard!! He called Dad and told him everything. So, Dad changed the will and give each and everything to you. I got so angry on him. How can he give everything to you!! That old man!! That's why I killed him and today Maa too. But, now it's enough!!! I will kill you. My whole problem will be finished. So, now time to say good bye." He said further and fired he gun.

He fired his gun but Chitra came on right time and threw his hand upward. She slaped him hardly.

Chitra ( shouted): "Sashwat!!!! (slap him) Are you gone mad? Why did you kill Maa? You bastard!! why? Damn it!!! If you had so much problem with Shekhar. You could have talked to us!! why did you live with this stupid insecurity. You are wrong. Shekhar is not responsible for anything. It's all because of you and your so called ego and insecurity. You killed dad and maa. (slightly pushed him)

You are an animal Sashwat!! Animal!!or even worst than animal because thinking to kill own parents, even animals won't do that. I hate myself that I m your wife and going to be mother of your child. I m afraid to have this child because if he or she will be like then I will kill him or her myself. You can never be a good father Sashwat. The one who don't understand his own father and killed him, how can he give fatherly love to his child? I hate you. I HATE YOU!!!"

She looked at me and said" Shekhar, call the police immediately. I don't want this man in our house anymore, who is now turned into a monster!!"

I nodded and was about to call police but suddenly, Sashwat pushed her angrily and she fell on floor. Me and Shomi rushed toward her. I was so much angry on him. I just wanted to kill him once for all. How can someone so cruel that he cannot show mercy to his pregnant wife wnd unborn child too.

Chitra was screaming in pain but Sashwat was not at all affected. He pointed gun toward us. He was about to fire but he got shot on his hand. I look up to see, police have already came. One of our servant called police already. They arrest him and my mother body was sent for postmortem.

We took chitra to hospital. She was very critical. Doctor could have saved only one of them. Either mother or the baby. We told doctor to save Chitra. After sometime, doctor come outside with a baby girl. We asked about Chitra bhabhi but doctor said that she don't have much time. She told her to save the baby.

I was very sad and angry too. We were going to loose another member of our family. Me and shomi went inside with baby Chitra was lying on the bed. I was crying but still I was angry on her. How can she leave us?

Chitra called us near her. She took the baby in her hand and caressed her face.

Chitra (smiling with tears): She is just like me na, Shekhar, Shomi? See her eyes, so pure, so beautiful.

Shomi (tears): Chitra di, Why you did that? Why are you leaving us?

Chitra: Shomi, I m not leaving you. See, whenever you will look at her. You will remember me. Shekhar, I know you are angry on me but how can I kill this child. She is innocent. But don't worry, I won't leave you both. I will be with you in this small innocent soul.

( breath heavily) Shomi, Shekhar, will you promise me something? Will you take care of my baby? Will you give her all happiness? will u...

I interrupted her and said yes. I promised her to love her child as my own daughter. I will treat her as my princess.

Chitra smiles sadly and said : I know Shekhar. She will be your princess. Please name her " Swara". And one more thing, you will give her good values and she should not be like her father. She should never know about her father and his deeds. From now on she is your daughter. You will never tell her that she is not your daughter and about her actual parents. Promise me.... please

I noded in yes. She smiled and hand over baby to me. After that, she closed her eyes forever. Leaving me and Shomi with her symbol, her baby. We were left alone. In one day, our family destroyed. We lost our family. Now, nothing was left in Jaipur. So, after doing last rituals of Chitra bhabhi and Maa. We came to Kolkata with Swara and started to live here only.

Flashback end...

;

Swara was still in her way. She was struck in traffic jam. She was so much restless and didn't know what to do.

On the other side Laksh was in meeting only but his mind was roaming around only Sanskar and the truth.

He messaged Swara.

Laksh: Swara, have you reached?

Swara sees his msg and replied him: No, I m struck in taffic.

Laksh: Oh! Shitt!! It's been one and half hour now.

Swara: I m still 15 min away, I m worried now.

Laksh: Me too Swara. We just hope, he won't know anything.

Swara signed but she was scared and her eyes were wet with tears.

Gadodia house:

Sanskar was in shock after knowing the truth. He somehow composed himself and asked: Does Swara knows nothing about it?

Shekhar: She knows only that she is not my own daughter but don't know about her real parents.

Screen splits on Swara, Sanskar and Laksh faces.
