Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi
Here is the previous part link:-
I am really happy friends seeing your comments on last part. I was very nervous, how will I justify the Laksh character. Because from the starting I had gotten so much hatred response towards Laksh from all of you. And it was a challenge for me to give justice his character with positivity. And I don’t know in this total journey when this story become so close to my heart. And one more thing, the day of the starting of the story, I was just wanting to focus on swasan because it is a swasan story. But it was you, who had always demanded to give punishment to Laksh and Sekher for their deeds. So in past I had focused few chapters on raglak. And now I am happy knowing that you are satisfied on his punishment . I know for this in past I have totally ignored swasan . I am really sorry for this. But don’t worry, now the story is only focus on swasan.
As last chapter I said , it’s a ” Karwachauth ” special part. I know I am late because it has been already celebrated before one month. But I love karwachauth special episode on Swaragini. From beginning I want to write on it but I wasn’t getting a scene to write about particular on it . But today finally I got it to fulfilling my dream sequence…so I am happy and I think you will also enjoy the part ?
So now I am stopping my bakbak and starting my story.
Part:-18
Today is a hectic day in my university. First of all I am late then the institute work. Uff.. Oh god please give me strength and energy to survive the whole day without food.
Now I am really fade up on myself. Today how did I make so lazy for which I woke up at 8:30 am which was reminding me I have only half an hour to reach in my university. So now I am really late for my uni . I just finished my daily chores and directly descending the stairs holding my project with my hand bag. I hired an auto and I was lucky on that case because I got it immediately. Finally I took a relax breath after reached before the entrance of my uni. I turned my heels towards my class rooms after paying the money.
At the way I met my two besties Neha and
Priya who have already waited for me before the classroom. I ignored both of them where they both giving me their most famous glares folding their hands across their chest. I just shrugged my head taking a sigh and walked away crossing at side of them.
Swara: Why have you stood there still now? Don’t you want to submit your project today or you both are planning to submit it next year? ( raising my both eyes in a questioning way )
Neha and Priya shrugged their heads in a disbelieve way after looking each other. They were going to ask me something but I dragged them inside the classroom holding their arms.
I submitted my projects at end because for my roll number which has arranged in an alphabetical order. where Neha and Priya submit their projects before me and left me here alone bidding their byes . I just hate both of them.
After submit the project reports, When I checked the time on my wrist watch it was showing. 2:30 pm. God it’s too late. Now the lunch time has passed and now I won’t get a meal in canteen. But now I want a proper meal rather snacks. Again bad luck. Don’t know today I have woken up seeing whom face ? obviously my face only. I took a sad sigh and moved towards snacks bar to eat something when a peon called me from my behind.
Peon: HOD sir has told to collect your internship letter from him .
Now I really hate this day. I lazily walked to the second floor and ascending the stairs. Finally I reached in front of sir’s chamber. I took a deep breath but again my bad luck sir isn’t present in his room. Today principal has organised an important meeting . So sir has gone to attend it.
I sat before his room because I have no more energy left to walk downstairs . After exact 40 minutes sir came out from the meeting . I collected my letter . Before leaving my uni again i checked my wrist watch which was showing 4:20 pm .
I reached home after one hour . Today traffic played a villain roll in my life. Again a bad luck.
I ran towards my stairs and ascending the steps so fastly. I changed my clothes in an emergency or I can say I just I ripped out my dress from my body . Then again I descending the stairs and directly entered inside my kitchen.
Again for my bad luck , I couldn’t find anything. Now I just want to throw everything out from the kitchen. Then something caught my eyes not actually something..it’s a plate which covered by a piece of cloth. I took out the cloth from the plate then a loud gasp came out from my mouth.
Swara’s monologue:
Karwachauth , oh my god today is karwachauth and I have totally forgotten about it. And this is the ” shargi ” which Uttara had gone leaving it in kitchen yesterday . Oh god I have totally forgotten about it . But should I keep the fast like other ladies. It’s my first karwachauth . I had seen so many dreams to celebrate on this day ..like I will keep fast for my husband for his long age and wellbeing , I will celebrate it with my in-laws, they will tease me taking my husband’s name before the family members, at night i will open my fast in my husband’s hand, i will take blessings from elders , finally we altogether will take our foods and lastly my husband will present me a surprise gift ( closed her both eyes in a hurting way )
IS THIS FESTIVAL HAVING ANY VALUE IN MY MARRIAGE ?
This one question was coming inside her mind seeing the ” shergi ”
Swara quietly saw the plate for few minutes then picked the dress from the plate and moved away from kitchen.
MM
All ladies present in hall preparing their puja thal which they will do their puja during seeing the moon and their husband. Today all ladies are looking beautiful on their traditional look. They have taken so much time to get ready for their own husbands . And mainly today boys are also not irritate or complain on it which is showing today they want to admire their beautiful moon by their admiring eyes.
AP and Sujata are readying the puja thal where Ragini has sitted with Uttara and Parineeta . She is totally bann to do anything which irritate her . And here all the time Uttara was feeding her something which irritate her more. She can’t deny it too because it’s maa’s order. She doesn’t want her do fast due to for her pregnancy. When she forced to do it , she allowed her but only one condition. She will eat fruits and juices in every one hour. And for her bad luck, the whole day Uttara is the one who will take care of her food’s . Now she is eating fruits silently without any option but inside she is cursing Uttra. Because she has taken maa’s order very seriously .
Swara entered in MM behind Sekher and Sumi. She is hell nervous to meet with Maheswaries . What will she answer , if anyone of them ask her, why she left Sanskar? Now what has she decided about Sanskar and their marriage?
what will she give answers, where she has no answers near her.
She scanned the whole hall standing the entrance after entered inside MM . Where she found her badi mom and mom helping the other ladies to preparing their puja thal. Then her eyes caught her di who has sitted on dinning area with Uttra and Parineeta . They are chitchatting with each other and sometimes laughing on their talks. A happy smile spread on her face seeing her di’s smiling face and she walked towards her.
After one hour
On terrace
All couples are present on terrace stood before their respective partners. All are seems looking happy , why not ??? It is their day to showing their love on her loved ones, how much they love their husband by this fasting. It doesn’t bother them , when they keep fast for their husbands but it worth to watch, when your love of life return back the same care and affection at the end of the day.
All ladies were doing their ” chand puja” where their husbands were teasing them on their fasting, how they could complete it without any food or they have eaten something their back without anyone’s knowledge , where ladies were pulling boys legs in same way saying, they can do everything but boys don’t do anything so they just to know how will blabber . Listening ladies talk boys making faces . After sometime a loud laugh echoed on environment.
All are happy . All faces are glowing looking their partners happy face but one couple has stood far away from the function at two adjacent corner of the terrace. They are none other than our swasan. They are happy to seeing their happiness but deep down they want it for them also.
WHY THEY AREN’T LIKE THEM? WHY THEIR RELATION IS NOT LIKE ONE OF THEM? WHY THEY ARE SO FAR WHERE THEY ARE BOUND A RELATION LIKE THEM? WHY THEY ARE LIKE THIS?
KYUN UNKA RISHTA EK RISHTA PYAR KA NAHIN BALKI SAMJHOTA KA HAI…
This thought….this feelings kill both of them inside their hearts. They both wanted a normal and loveful life for them but now they have stood at a point where they don’t see anything without a broken soul.
After puja all guests moved back to their destination where gents went their respective rooms for freshen up. Ladies were arranging the plates on dining table.
In kitchen
Swara was putting the dishes in bowl when a hand placed on her shoulder. She startled from her position by someone’s sudden presence.
Relax beta : Sujata said in a comforting voice
Swara took a deep breath before nodding her heads.
After a long deep silence Sujata initiated the talk first breaking the silence .
Sujata: You are looking good in this pink lehenga . ( swara gave half hearted smile ) and thanks beta to accept it . I thought you don’t accept it after what has happened with you in past. ( suddenly Swara’s half hearted smile faded away from her face and turned into a sad expression ) But again you showed how much your heart is big . ( caressed her hairs lovingly where her eyes were showing motherly affection )
Swara: Thanks mom for understanding me. I don’t want to create any disturbance or scene before the society but the same time i was hurt and cheated too. So i didn’t understand anything what will i d….( few water droplets flowing on her cheeks and at the end her voice chocked for which she couldn’t complete it.)
Sujata: It’s ok beta I am totally understand your situation. I am not blaming you for it. I know you are hurt by Sanskar . So you have all rights to punish him. And just remember one thing your mom always with you on your every decision. ( took her in her warm tight embrace which give comfort to every child . It’s a place where a child forget his/her all worries and tension )
Sujata ( said in a hesitating voice) but today I want a help from you. Can you help me ( said in a hopeful voice )
Swara: Offcourse mom, you just say me I will do it.
Sujata: ( said forwarding a glass of water ) can you give it to Sanskar ( where Swara gave a questionable look ) ( said nervously) actually he haven’t eaten anything from morning. I know he told me , he will eat something in office. But he hasn’t eaten anything. You must have thought, how did I know about it? Actually I called his PA , who informed me today he hasn’t touched any food not even water. So he has …..ke…pt… a fast for….. Yo…u
Swara’s eyes widen listening the ” FAST ” word. How can a person keep fast for an another person where their relation has at the broken stage.
” Then why have you kept fast for your husband ” said her inner voice
Shut up , today I was just quite busy for my project . So I had no time to take my food . And second thing i didn’t remember today is Karwachaut, if I remember then I have taken my food and meals also : Swara said firmly to confronting her inner voice
LIAR , after knew about Karwachauth also , you didn’t eat anything . So it’s mean you have kept the FAST first unknowingly but then knowingly ” : Said her inner voice again
Swara fidgeting with her fingers nervously.
It’s true, first she didn’t eat anything for her busy schedule but at afternoon when she knew about it , then why didn’t she take her meals rather postponed the idea. Now she is confused in her own feelings.
She came back to her sense when Sujata shaken her arms.
Swara:( absent mind ) yes mom
Sujata: It’s ok beta , if you don’t want then don’t go. I won’t force you. I am going to give it to him ( gave a weak smile )
When Sujata turned to go Swara hold her hand and took the glass from her hand : It’s ok mom, I will give it to Sanskar. You don’t worry about it ( gave a smile where Sujata returned back a satisfy smile to Swara )
At Sanskar room
Swara entered inside Sanskar room where she didn’t get Sanskar. She heard water showering sound from bath room. She inhaled some fresh air after knowing she won’t face him now. She quickly placed it side table and turned her heals to leave from there. But her eyes caught a small red velvet box which placed at the middle of the bed.
She went to close of the bed to see the clear view knowing Sanskar will take some more time.
The box placed on top of her photo frame which had taken on her university ‘s last day . She became surprised …no…no surprise is a small word before her feelings to see her that photo . How did he get it ?
Don’t use your brain Swara , just check the box : Her inner voice said
Swara growled hearing it and picked up the box and opened it in her shaking hands.
She blinked her eyes before fixing her gaze inside the box.
BEAUTIFUL: A low husky whisper voice came from her mouth seeing the golden ring where in middle a white crystal heart shape diamond stone placed. And the side of the diamond stone two peacocks are place like they are kissing where their tails are tangling with each other. The middle portion which is showing a heart- shape where exactly the heart shape diamond stone is place . It’s breath taking beautiful.
Swara closed the box after placing the ring inside it. When she placed the box on its exact position she got a deep velvet red colour rose placed over a piece of paper exact beside the box . Swara is amazed , how couldn’t she see it before?
Because your full concentrate was on the box : Her inner voice again roared inside her heart.
” Just shut up ” : She yelled to her inner voice before calm herself
Then she picked up the rose very carefully with the piece of paper. First she inhaled her fresh fragrance touching its soft petals which are ready to melt inside her fingers.
She open the paper carefully which is wrap up neatly in four parts.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS RING AS A GIFT ON OUR FIRST KARWACHAUTH….I WANT TO MAKE IT SPECIAL NOT ONLY THIS YEAR BUT EVERY YEAR. I WANT TO KEEP FAST WITH YOU …FOR YOUR LONG AGE…..I WANT TO BE THE PERSON….WHOM YOU THINK YOURS……..ONLY YOURS
I LOVE ❤ YOU SWARA
YOURS SANSKAR………..
At the end of the letter her eyes became glassy . She gulped some of her saliva inside her throat which was already dried after reading the paper. . She placed the paper with rose in her shaking hands.
Are you okk: A concern voice came from her behind .
She dared to turn her back to face the person. She knows the voice owner . He is none other than her best friend cum husband .
You want anything: Again she heard the voice but now it was sounding ” like nervous one not before like ”
Swara nodded her head as a no before saying : No
When she turned to leave Sanskar called her name from her behind.
Sanskar: Swara, one minute
Sanskar picked the box from the bed and stood beside her.
Sanskar:( in a nervous voice ) I know I have no rights on you. You also don’t like me. ( said in a sad voice where his eyes closed immediately due to pain ) . But I want to give you this gift. ( forwarding the box towards her ) but I will happy if you accept it. ( said in a hopeful voice )
Swara walked towards entrance ignoring his words .
Sanskar: ( in a heartbroken voice ) I am SORRY for everything for your this miserable condition. I am really SORRY only for me you went through and faced all these difficulties . I am SORRY to being selfish person who thought only about me . I am SORR……
Swara:( cut his words in middle) it’s that much easy to say SORRY when you break that person from her inside . You just hurt the person and at the end just say a single word SORRY . Wow , what such a lame excuse. ( laughed mockingly by which Sanskar hurt )
Swara: You know what , I really thought you are one of my best friend but you just ditched me by your innocent face which you are not . ( said in offending voice ) why did you play with me, my emotions
Now the tears are flowing from her hazel eyes without her concern. She stored her all emotions , bitterness inside her heart beginning at the day when she knew about her marriage with Sanskar . She wasn’t believing her own parents, her own jiju has ditched her. They all have ruined her feelings…..feeling of a happy life with her love . From that day she just hated them. But her all calculation went to wrong , when she got to know about Sanskar’s memory loss drama . That time she couldn’t feel anything, she felt cheated, used and mostly not love worthy. She devastated by the reveal of truth. She had broken from inside ……and now her heart has divided into millions parts……which will be never heal again
When her bitter memories flashed inside her mind a loud sob come out from her mouth. With the sob , hiccups also came out with sob. She was just hiccupping continuously. Seeing her continuous hiccups, Sanskar became tensed. He just ran towards his bed table and back holding a full glass of water .
Sanskar offered the glass but Swara was busy on her hiccups. Sanskar drank her full glass water where his other hand was rubbing her back.
After sometime Swara felt better and her hiccups had also stopped. Swara just looked towards Sanskar , who is still rubbing her back . His eyes are showing concern for her and the thick lines on his forehead are showing how much he is worried and tensed to see his Swara like this.
Swara saw the half empted glass which has held Sanskar on his left hand. She closed her eyes tightly and a small smile spread on her face . Why the smile played on her face she herself didn’t know……but it’s a satisfaction at the end of the day without any intention her fast completed by his husband’s hand. He drank her the water and it’s only the ritual. The husband will drink you water in his own hand.
Swara held the glass and took it from Sanskar’s hand where Sanskar looked at her amusingly.
Swara offered the water placing before his mouth. When the glass touched his lips without thinking anything Sanskar drank all water silently where their eyes are locked.
It’s a cherish moment for Sanskar where his love of life fulfil his dream . Today at this moment he is beyond happy. If today anyone will ask him anything then he will give it without thinking about it once. It’s the best thing which has happened today at this moment….his love has stood before his eyes .
At the entrance a couple has stood .
Girl: You don’t feel , now it’s our turn to unit both the love birds.
Boy: I know, but I don’t think it’s a better idea. Because Swara hates bhai
Girl:( hitted boy’s chest ) Laksh , you are an idiot. Till now u didn’t understand, Swara is also having some feelings towards Sanskar. But the fact is , my poor sister till now unknown about her feelings towards Sanskar ( made a sad pout leaning towards Laksh chest ) so it’s now our turn to realise her love
Laksh : Are you serious Ragini. You don’t think , it’s too early to reach a conclusion
Ragini ( looked Laksh face irritatly ) I know my sister better than you ( again leaned on Laksh’s chest where he wrapped her waist protectively)
Laksh: ( in an understanding voice) ok , then what you want we do for both of them
Ragini: Just reunion. Who knows better than from you how to execute the plan ( winked towards Laksh where a teasing smile spread on her lips )
Laksh: ( in a disbelieving voice )Are you kidding me? I won’t do anything nonsense like last time. Sorry
Ragini 🙁 in a trustful voice) but this time I believe you. You won’t do anything wrong. Mainly you won’t hurt them but you will just help them and brought them away from their misery solving their problems.
Laksh 🙁 not convincing voice ) but I can’t
Ragini: Laksh just for once think abou…….
Her words incomplete by a phone call . Laksh just attended it . After ended the call a playful smile was playing on his lips.
Ragini: What? ( seeing his sudden happiness)
Laksh: I think this time god is also in your side.( took her in his tight embrace placing a soft kiss on her temple)
The scree froze swasan’s eye lock and raglak’s happy faces .
*********************************
Precap: Swara’s internship start , but question is in which company?? Anyone can guess it!!!??????
I want to ask you about something, is it ok with you if I will give big chapters but intervals of every two weeks or a small part but once in a week. Because now I can’t post big chappy in regular basis like before.
And one more thing, I know you all have already faded up on emotional scenes . But friends when it comes on emotion , I don’t keep away myself to writing such scenes more. I am really sorry for that , if I will make you cry . But I feel so much comfortable on such scenes. So I can’t stop myself to writing those scenes. One more thing , I know that all have loosen their interests on this story so I don’t want to drag it more . So now I want to wrap up the story as soon as possible so that I can free myself from it like you . So now tell me , what you want, a small part once in a week or a long part intervals of every two weeks.
Thank you ?
