He lifts her in his arms and takes her out without any further explanation.

Roop: “Bhai he was crying for his wife.”

Lucky: “Swara is his life and thanks Aman.”

He leaves.

Swasan enters inside the room… He closes the door.

Swara: “Sanskar… I can…”

He locks her lips? with his. It is intense kiss showing how much he suffered. She could sense the pain in his moment and she is guilty for her action. Then she feels some wetness on her waist, there his hand is holding her. She stops him.
