Sanskar nodded and Laksh left.
Swara signed Sanskar to sleep.
Sanskar: No Swara, already slept. Not again.
Swara knew that there's no use to talk so she kept her hand on his eyes and closed them. Sanskar felt a feather touch of her soft hand and closed his eyes and smiled weakly. He hold her another hand slowly. Swara moved little closer and caressed his hair with another hand. Sanskar slowly drift into peaceful sleep finding bliss in her touch.
Laksh also came back after sometime only to see Sanskar was sleeping peacefully and Swara was still sitting there .Her eyes were closing due to tiredness. She was feeling to sleep but somehow opening her eyes looking at Sanskar. Laksh smiles. He goes to Swara.

Swara denied.
Laksh: Bhai is sleeping and I m here na.
Swara still denied but Laksh again requested her.
Laksh: Swara, for how long you will sit like this on bed? You must be uncomfortable. You go and sleep on couch.
Swara nodded and was about to stand up to go but noticed Sanskar hand gripping her hand firmly.
Laksh also sees this.
Laksh (murmured): And he says Swara is just a friend.
Swara look at him confused.
Laksh: Nothing. Now what?(Showing their joined hands). Do one thing. slowly take out your hand.
Swara didn't like this idea as she also didn't want to leave him. Laksh also noticed it.
Swara thought something.
She asked Laksh: Where will you sleep?
Laksh: It's ok. I won't sleep and here's chair too. I will manage.
Swara (immediately): Bring that chair here.
Laksh got confused but brought chair and keep it in front of her.
Swara (sign): You go and sleep on couch. I will be here.
Laksh: But Swara...
Swara stopped him. Laksh also didn't force her understanding her situation. Laksh went to sofa and ly down. It was already too late.

Laksh (murmured): Why do I always have wrong timing?
Saying it he went out.
While Swara and Sanskar were embarrassed. Then Swara compose herself and feed him. Sanskar was again looking at her but this time Swara was avoiding to look at him.
After that she kept bowl aside then only a nurse came.
Nurse: Sir, Your medicine.
Sanskar nodded.
Nurse gave him medicine. Then she take a injection and filled it. Swara sees it and gulp while Sanskar was normal. Swara closed her eyes watching nurse is about to inject and unknowingly clutched Sanskar's hand. Sanskar look at her confusingly then got that she is scared of injection. Nurse injected him. After that she went out.
Sanskar: Swara
Swara opened her eyes.
Sanskar: It's done. You are scared of injection? (smile)
Swara nodded looking down and both laughed. Then only Ap come with Uttara.
Ap: How are you beta?
Sanskar: I m good.
Ap: Good, Anyway Sanskar, What was the need to drive fast? You scared all of us. Thank God, you are fine now.
Suddenly Sanskar's face expression changed. He remembered about yesterday. Everything again started roaming in his mind. Kavita's words, was repeating in his mind.
He hold the bedsheet in his fist tightly and was getting angry. Swara noticed it and got confused.
Ap: Sanskar, Sanskar?
But he was lost in his thoughts.
Then Swara put her hand on his.
Sanskar came out of his thoughts.
Sanskar: hmm?
He took out his hand from Swara's and avoid to look at her.
Ap: Swara beta, I think you Should go home and take rest. You didn't have your dinner too and where is Laksh?
Laksh: I m here only.
Ap: Where did you go? You Should be here?
Laksh (murmured): Then I would have to watch romance of Bhai and Swara.
Ap: What?
Laksh: Nothing, you say.
Ap: ok, Now me and Uttara have come. You go home wnd take Swara with you.
Laksh: Hmm ok, let's go Swara.
Swara nodded and got up. She looked at Sanskar and was disappointed by his sudden ignorance when he doesn't look at her. Still she left with Laksh.
After she went, Sanskar look at the closed door. A lone tear escaped from his eyes but he immediately wiped it.
Laksh and swara were in the car. Laksh noticed Swara is lost somewhere.
Laksh: Swara, are you ok?
Swara looked at him and nodded yes with fake smile.
Laksh: Say it Swara. You were fine in morning. Now what happened?Thinking about Bhai?
Swara nodded.
Laksh: Don't worry. He will be fine.
Swara smiled.
Laksh: Swara, I don't know why but I m feeling something bad.
Swara looked at him.
Laksh: I mean Bhai is not someone who will drive carelessly. He always stays conscious while driving and all of the sudden his accident...
Swara signed him to say clearly.
Laksh: Swara, just listen carefully. So, Yesterday when I came to mm then I got call from our security guard that Sanskar went somewhere. He was angry and was driving really fast. Then I immediately went to office and went to his cabin directly. What I saw totally shook me to the core. The cabin was was totally in mess. Each and everything was smashed completely and then I go back of him and found his car. He was...(Swara stopped him to say because she doesn't wanted to hear that word. She was scared.)
Laksh: Swara, I think... I hope whatever I am thinking must be wrong but I have doubt that Bhai came to know everything.
Swara looked at him shocked.
She nods her head in no.
Laksh: Yes Swara. I think he knows about Kavita. I m not sure. I don't know Swara.
Swara remembered Sanskar's expression changed, gripping bedsheet, angry look, Suddenly ignoring her.
They reached mm. She came back into her sense hearing Laksh.
Laksh: Swara, we reached.
Swara nodded and came out of the car. She went inside and sees Arshit with Sujatha. She was getting tough time to handle him.
Sujatha: Oh god, this kid can't sit quietly ad jiji give me his responsibility. Oho god help me, please.
Sujatha was making him sit on the couch but he was continuously trying to get down. Swara sees this and smiles. She forget about what was she thinking. Arshit's face made her forget everything.
She went to Sujatha and take him. Arshit got happy finding her. He claps and giggles
Sujatha: It's good that you come. He made me mad just in an hour.
Saying this she left from there.
Swara take Arshit and went to their room. She made him sit on the bed and took her clothes out. She give him his toys and went to washroom.
After coming back she get ready and went downstairs. She had her breakfast. It was afternoon now, she wanted to go to hospital to see Sanskar.
She was in hall again thinking about Laksh words. "Bhai knows about Kavita". She wanted to go to him..She can't leave him alone.

A melting icecap, a bubbling spring or the soft autumn rain; small trickling streams that, over many years, grow into mighty rivers. Within every man lies the call to power - it is as much a part of him as his very own blood. The foolish drink from that vital liquid, but the wise know that strength is not worth seeking. Instead, they desire that which lies beyond it. They follow the mighty river to its source. Eyes wide, they spot the glistening icecap. Ears open, they listen for the bubbling spring. Nose twitching, they smell the scent of the autumn rain. They find those small, trickling streams. They are led to the source from which strength flows. It is that which beats within the bosom of every man: a blood-red heart.

We already bought tickets and were planning our next step in life. Talking about kids, that blue house and white picket fence. Ho... Instead, I stood in front of a freshly dug grave. I stared at the casket that was being lowered into the muddy ground. I did not say my last goodbyes. How could I when everything she was, she had become, she was going to be was in my face like a fresh slap. Our house, my work office, the blackness behind my eyelids. It was a fresh reminder.. Then, I got this fresh start.. This crazy bish summoned me.. Summoned me from a world where I had went down the wrong path. To a world where there was no right and wrong for me. There was no peers I had to look into the eye and see pity. There was no more of walking to her grave and telling her what I had become after she was gone. It was simply just us in my heart. The way she look when she at her worse, the strong vigor she held in her soul. Comforting me while I was attempting to comfort her... Ha, this new world.. I wondered.. is this not a fresh start? Should I care about what will or wouldn't happen? As long as I can recreate what I lost? Should I care about what I shall become? Let's find out how far I can fall in the pursuit of what I desire...
