Shekhar: She knows only that she is not my own daughter but nothing about her real parents.
Shomi : Now you also know it apart from us and you promised not to tell her. Please stay on it words.
Sanskar was about to say something by Shekhar says: I know we don't have good relationship due to past but still I trusted you. I trusted you enough to give my daughter's hand to you because somewhere I feel that you are changed now and won't hurt my daughter this time and with that hope only I expect that you won't tell Swara about it.
With that words Shekhar left the room. Sanskar and Shomi saw him going.
Sanskar: Maa, I know you are worried but I assure you that Swara will never know about it and this is my promise.
Shomi nods and say: She should never know also because if she will know that she is blood of that monster, I don't know what will she do. You know Sanskar, She is very sensitive but for Shekhar, she is his strength. She always thinks about others but never for herself.
Sanskar: If she thinks about others before herself then why she did that two years before?
Shomi: You still think that Swara can do that?
Sanskar: I don't know Maa but I m not sure. Sometime, I get feeling that Swara can never do anything like that but sometimes... I don't know. So many questions arise in my mind that leave me confused.
Shomi: Sanskar, Everytime what we see is not supposed to be truth only. Or we become so blind in something that we don't want to see and accept the reality.
Sanskar: And what if I want to see it and accept it now ? Is it too late now?
Shomi: It's not Sanskar. It's not late till now. If you want to see the reality then you need to find out.
Sanskar: It's okay if you are not going to reveal about it but can I ask just one thing.?
Shomi nods.
Sanskar: Whatever Laksh and Swara are hiding, Is it related to me?
Shomi was going to ignore it but Sanskar said: Please maa.
Shomi: Yes.
Sanskar: Thanku Maa. I won't ask anything else now because I don't want you to break your promise. I am sure Swara must have given you swear.
Shomi smiles and say: Thanks for understanding beta.
Sanskar: Hmm.
Suddenly Shekhar calls Shomi and she left the room.
Shomi: Sanskar, you just wait here. I m coming.
Sanskar: It's ok Maa. I was just going.
Shomi: No, no Sanskar. Just wait. I have to send something for Swara. You don't have any problem right?
Sanskar: It's totally fine Maa. I will wait.(Smiled)
Shomi went from there.
Sanskar also came out of room and walk around house. He stopped near one room and see the closed door but it was not lock. He knew that it was Swara's room.

He thinks for a while then entered inside. He looked around the room which was in perfect condition, totally neat and clean. He went to the study table where so many photo frame were hanged on the wall with Swara's pics with her maa and baba. In some pics there was Ragini also. He saw them and smiled.
He was about to turn and go but something caught his attention.
Sanskar: What is this?
In hall,
Shekhar who came for lunch, again went to office. As soon as he went, Swara enters breathing heavily.
Shomi sees her and go toward her. She looked at her with concern and told her sit but she denied.
Shomi: Swara beta, you here? (Confused)
Swara nods.
Shomi (smile): Good, that you also came. Sanskar is also here.
Swara got horrified.
She signed and asked something.
Swara: Where is he? When did he come?
Shomi: He is in my room. It's about an hour he came.(Smile).
Seeing her smiling, Swara got relaxed that. He didn't know anything and Shomi also assured her through eyes.
Swara goes to Shomi's room but didn't find Sanskar.She again panicked and asked Shomi about Sanskar.
Shomi: He might be here only.
Suddenly something striked in her mind and she rushed toward her room but she got shocked what she saw. Sanskar was standing near the table and watching pics.
Shomi also follows Swara.
Shomi: Sanskar, What are you doing here?
Sanskar look at them and said: Actually, I was getting bored. So, I thought to look around. I hope you don't mind.
Shomi: It's ok Sanskar. It's your house too.(Smile)
Sanskar smiled. While Swara saw him still in shock. Sanskar was noticing her but ignored.
Shomi: Ok now, let's go. I have made tea. We will have it together.
Sanskar nods and goes with Shomi. Swara was not coming with them but suddenly Sanskar stopped and asked: Swara? Aren't you coming?
Swara nods with small smile. Swara signs something .
Swara: I m coming. I have some work in my room.
Shomi and Sanskar nods then they leave.
After sometime Swara also joined them. She was looking relaxed.
Sanskar noticed it. Few minutes ago she was looking so restless and now calm. He gets confused.
They have tea and talked for sometime. Then they left to the Maheshwari mansion.
Mm
Night,
Everyone went to their respective rooms after having dinner. On the other hand, Laksh was trying to talk to Swara and ask about today but it seems to Impossible because Swara was continuously busy in household works and with Arshit.
Swasan room:
Swara was in room with Arshit and making him sleep. Sanskar was not in room. He was in study as he has some office work.
Study room,
Sanskar was sitting on chair and thinking something deeply. He thinks about Swara real parents, about their past and how shekhar and Shomi told him not to tell anything to Swara. He closed his eyes and takes a deep breathe.

Sanskar (monologue): I will never break this promise. I would never let Swara know about her parents. She don't deserve to bear this pain. (determined)
He get ups and walk toward windows. He stands there. He sees his watch and smile with smirk. He pressed the tiny side button of his watch and it opened like bottom part and upper part splits, revealing a memory card. He takes it and think something.
Flashback:
Sanskar: What is this?
He sees that carefully and what confused him was the frame that was hanging at the corner. It was looking different with others because other was having same frame work but there was something different about that particular frame. It was looking unusually hanged. He removed it carefully. As he was holding it, he felt something on its back. He turned it around. It was openable. He opened it and found something like book or something that totally wrapped and at the right edge of the frame there was a memory card.
He sees it carefully and was confused.
Sanskar: Why is it wrapped and hidden? I am sure, this is not any gift because if it is then why someone won't open it and secondly why anyone gift with this not so attractive cover. The wrapping is looking older. It's clear that someone intentionally wrapped it to hide it here. May be Swara did it, but what is it and why will she do this? And what's this memory card doing here?
Suddenly he heard Shomi's voice calling Swara's name. That means she was here.
He got an idea and instantly opened his watch which was already having another memory card. He takes it out and replace with memory card kept in frame then he put the original one in his watch.
(Sanskar's smart watch having memory card slot and watch usually remain connected to his phone to attend calls.)
He assembled frame properly, keeping that wrapped thing in its position and hanged the frame back on the wall. Then only he heard someone coming toward that room and he didn't have time to go out so he pretended to stand there and watching photos.
Flashback ends.
Sanskar (monologue): When I took this memory card, I was not sure whether it will helpful in finding anything but your one mistake made me confident about this memory card that it's actually an important part of what you are hiding Swara.
Flashback:
Swara signed that she had some work in her room and she rushed toward her room. She closed the door.
Sanskar and Shomi were going but suddenly Sanskar said: Maa, actually I forgot my phone in Swara's room only. You go, I will just come.
Shomi nodded and left.
Sanskar went back to Swara's room. but door was closed. He saw the windows open and peeped through it.
Swara took the same photo frame and opened it from its back. As she saw it, she take a sigh of relief.
Her expression was quite relaxed like she got her life back. She placed that on the table and searched for something and got it.
After that, she took the memory card and burn it. Then placed that wrapped object back in its place and adjusted the frame then hanged it back on its position.
Sanskar saw all this and left. He went downstairs and sat with Shomi.
After sometime Swara also joined them. Sanskar sees her coming and thinks: I know that this is wrong way to do or get anything but you and Laksh left me with no choice. What is it so important that you are trying so hard to keep it away from me? If Laksh can know it then why not me?
Flashback ends.
Sanskar was lost in his thoughts thinking everything. Some words were roaming in his mind.
"Why do you hate her this much? What has she ever done to you? She even accepted those false accusions you put on her. why do you want to hurt her more?"
"Do you still think that Swara can do all that?"
"Everytime what we see is not supposed to be truth only. Or we became so blind in something that we don't want to see and accept the reality."
Sanskar: (monologue) Is Swara really innocent? Was I really wrong? But if not Swara then who?
Swasan room,
Arshit was slept. Swara made him lie properly on the bed and got up from the bed. Then only someone knocked on the door. She opened the door only find Laksh.
Swara: Laksh, What are you doing here? At this time? (Confused)
Laksh: Leave all that. First of all, tell me what happened today at gadodia house?
Swara told him to come inside and closed the door.
Swara nods no.
Laksh: Bhai don't know anything till now.
Swara: No, maa didn't tell him anything.
Laksh takes a sigh.
Laksh: Thank god, He scared me.
But he noticed Swara was looking tensed.
Laksh: Swara?
Swara: (No answer)
Laksh: Swara??(Jerk her)
Swara sees him and gave a fake smile.
Laksh: What happened?
Swara: Today, we got saved but till when? (Looked at him with worried look)
Laksh also got worried but assured her: Don't worry Swara. Nothing will go wrong.
Swara nods with small smile. Laksh left. Swara closed the door and goes toward the windows.
She thinks about today's incident. How Laksh called her, she rushed to gadodia house then burning that memory card.
Swara (monologue): Why didn't I burn it before only? I have to do something for that (wrapped thing)also. Thank god, Sanskar didn't get any idea about it. But today I saw something different in him. Maa said that he doesn't know anything then what was that?
(Closed her eye then open it)
Why are you so obsessed to know the truth Sanskar? It's not for you. It will hurt you only.
Screen freezes at Swara tensed and Sanskar confused face.
