In episode 24 someone asked about which biscuits to be used. Actually it’s not anything in particular that you should eat this or that. The thing is that when pregnant ladies wake up they should have something to eat immediate after that to reduce the nauseas and get some relief from their morning sickness.

Episode begins-

The next evening swasan room-

Sanskar has returned from office and saw an excited swara.

Sanskar- what’s the matter. You seem to be excited.

Swara- sanskar… mom is returning tomorrow. She called me just few minutes back and told. I am excited because of that.

Sanskar- hmmm….. I didn’t know that you and mom bond so well. You weren’t this much excited even when we went to meet sharmistha maa.

Swara- [took a round of sanskar and acted like smelling something] hmm I see someone is jealous.

Sanskar- ohh jealous [pulled and caged her in his arms making her gasp] whom do you think is jealous here, me?

Swara showing innocence nodded her head. he pulled her more to himself and caressed her waist slightly making her shudder with his touch.

Sanskar- why should I be jealous?

Swara- sanskarr….

Sanskar- hmmmm…

They were very close to each other and when swara looked in his eyes which were already staring her she was lost in his love which his eyes showed. Both were looking at each other and sanskar leaned his face closer decreasing the gap between them. Swara slowly closed her eyes and they were about to kiss when uttara entered calling swara…. “bhabhi”….. and they both startled left each other and due to sudden release from sanskar’s arms swara stumbled, a shriek left her mouth and sanskar held her quickly seeing this.

Uttara who saw the seen was embarrassed and muttered a sorry and excused herself. Sanskar properly made her stand still holding her.

Sanskar- you ok?

Swara- yes.

Sanskar hugged her and she too reciprocated.

Sanskar- this uttara also naa… can’t she knock before entering.

Swara- it’s not her fault. The door was already open.

Sanskar- my mistake I should have closed the door. No worries I will keep this in mind so that no one disturbs us in our romance. Let’s continue where we stopped.

Swara- [pushed him slightly] sanskar you naa… go and change..

She moved away but sanskar came back of her saying- where are you going? Are listen naa.

Swara paced fast to other side of the room and by mistake the teddy kept on the table fell and seeing that swara instantly bent down and held the baby causing her pain in her stomach for the sudden movement.

Swara- ahhh.

Sanskar- swara

He came and supported her to walk and made her sit.

Sanskar- what happened.

Swara- [exhaling air from her mouth to control her pain and she was still holding the teddy] who suddenly I bent so…

Sanskar- what was the need [tensed]

Swara- [tear skipped her eyes due to pain] sanskar… I am ..fine.

Sanskar- fine swara….. are you seeing yourself. Let me call doctor.

Swara- no…I am ok…. Just little time… the pain will subsidise.

Sanskar- give the teddy and let me help you lie down.

Swara- [holding the teddy more tightly] let the teddy be with me.

Sanskar- [confused by her behaviour but let that go] ok…

He made her lay down comfortably and caressed her forehead and smoothly moved his hand on her stomach in round motion trying to sooth her.

After a while sanskar concernedly asked her—did pain reduce?

Swara- [opened her eyes and looked at him] hmmm…. [held his hand on her stomach and brought to her lips kissing his palm] relax I am fine.

He interwined their hands which she was holding and bend and kissed on her forehead.

Sanskar- I got afraid. [he said concern and fear etched in his voice]

Yes here was the person he could convey all his emotions, every fear without any hesitance, to his swara because he knew she would never judge him and also would correct him if wrong, support him if needed. The time they got separated was a week moment, a nightmare phase, a time where they had to get separated inspite of so much love and trust in their heart for the other, but their tongue flipped and rolled the opposite words they wanted to say, they should have said.

Sanskar wrapped her laying form to his chest and swara rubbed his shoulders up and down in assurance that she is fine and to calm him down.

Swara- I am fine sanskar. You go change and freshen up. You must be tired. I will bring you tea.

Sanskar- you are not doing any work.

Swara- [sighed] I will ask someone to make your tea and am doing no work. Now please relax. Go.

Sanskar obliged and went to change.

Night after dinner swasan were in room. Sanskar while working looked at swara and found her lost in thoughts. Completing the file he was working on he came and sat beside swara.

Sanskar- what are you thinking about.

Swara- [startled] haan… ufff sanskar.. you scared me. [she hugged him keeping her head on his chest]

Sanskar- [hugging her back] hmmm…. So what were you thinking that you didn’t notice me sitting beside you.

Swara- sanskar don’t know but it was unusual. I had cross checked and then how could it happen. [she said lost in thinking]

Sanskar- what had happened. What are you talking about.

Swara- [moved out of hug and held his hand, confusion all over her face] you know about ragini’s medicine incident and then next day papaya in food. [sanskar nodded and straightened at mention of ragini from swara’s mouth being insecure] sanskar I don’t know how that happened. The medicine that I gave ragini was expired but it isn’t possible in any way. Because I have half the medicines from the same box and that aren’t expired, infact I am using it now too. how could her medicine change. I wasn’t able to justify myself that day because I couldn’t tell them about my pregnancy that time. [sanskar also was confused] wait let me show you the medicines.

She brought her handbag from cupboard and showed him the medicines.

Swara- see these medicines are correct. And then next day I had made bottle gourd and then there was papaya in it… badi maa thinks that I was responsible for both the incidents. But how can I harm my own child….[she kept her hand on her belly] I was so scared that day. I almost had half the vegetable curry. If anything would have happened to our babies I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself ever. [tear escaped her eyes]

Sanskar- swara [hugged her] nothing happened. Ssshhhh…..

Swara- sanskar I ….

Sanskar- nothing….. don’t think about all that. If anything goes wrong in future then I will see to it.

Swara- [looked at him] but sanskar badi maa … she is upset from me. She thinks that all those happened because of me. I mean I don’t blame her and I know her anger was justified as it could have harmed ragini and her baby. When she will come then she won’t be upset from me naa.

Sanskar- no…. no one can remain upset from you. You captivate everyone in your love. She won’t be upset.

Swara- [slowly] not love but may be my stubbornness forces everyone to do so.

Sanskar- what did you say?

Swara- nothing. [her eyes still watery]

Sanskar- now what happened? Why these pearls are still ready to flow.

Swara nodded in no.

Sanskar- accha [hesitant] will you again forget me when they [raglak, ap] will return.

Swara- [looked at him confused] why will I forget you? [then somewhat understanding his insecurity] never. The mistake I did once, I won’t do again. [cupped his one cheek] I can’t live without you.

Sanskar- me too. waise from the time you have returned I have observed that you have become a cry baby. Always crying, emotional and most of the time lost in your own world.

Swara- the time I lived without you, whenever I remember that it scares me. [she said honestly]

Sanskar- then forget it. Anything that scares my Bengali tigress, forget all those.

Swara- [chuckled at his remark] your Bengali tigress’s strength has decreased. [she hugged him feeling weak emotionally]

Sanskar- [confused and shocked as the way she was talking like defeated] nothing like that swara. What happened to you? You are talking strange today.

Swara- nothing has happened. We should sleep now. it’s getting late.

Swara picked her handbag and was going to keep in cupboard when she remembered something. She took a gift wrapped small box out of bag and closing the cupboard came to sanskar.

Swara- [forwarding the gift to him] I thought to give you this when I will tell you about my pregnancy but never mind. See it now.

Sanskar looked at the gift and took it excited and happy. Quickly unwrapping it he saw the gift bringing a wide smile on his lips. He was speechless seeing the gift.

The gift swara gave was partially her work and partially she got it made.

It had a statue of crawling baby on a board and a placard was attached to his one raising hand and there it was written- “I AM COMING SOON PAPA. LOVE YOU”. the word ‘papa’ was in italics and bold letters. The complete set up was encased in round transparent glass looking as a show piece. [this is completely my thought- NO COPYING please.]

Swara- did you like it?

Sanskar- I loved it. It’s so unique. From where you bought this? I never saw any such gift.

Swara- I got it made. I wanted to tell you this news in very special way. I thought a lot and visited many shops and then this idea came to me seeing the small houses and baby items children use to play and make houses etc. so I bought this crawling baby and then in crafts shop I told them what to do and this was made.

Sanskar- you did so much for just giving me this news.

Swara- it wasn’t just a news for me sanskar. I can’t explain what I felt… what I needed that time and what this news brought in my life. They are not just my babies sanskar… they are my world.

Sanskar- babies aren’t yet born swara. Now seriously tell me what’s wrong. You are really confusing me with your behaviour. Is everything alright?

Swara- [looked down] I myself don’t know what’s wrong. And about babies, you can’t explain you my pov. Can we sleep for now please. [she asked pleadingly]

Sanskar- but…

Swara- please sanskar.

Sanskar- ok one minute.

He placed her gift on the table removing a vase in the centre. Both laid down in each other’s arms. Both pretending to sleep but lost in their own thought. Sanskar was thinking as to what wrong had happened to swara because he can sense that swara was not herself but pretending to be. She was showing and trying to be happy bt wasn’t. whereas swara was also lost in her own thoughts. Thinking about past, few happenings which was saddening her and making her feel guilty about something and dejected for self. She was tightening her hold around him unknowingly but sanskar realised it and opening his eyes saw her but didn’t said anything. Sanskar’s thought wandered upon happenings of recent and past days. Both finally drifted to a not so peaceful sleep.

In the mid of night swara was stirring a little in sleep. she was seeing some bad dream and some haze flashes of it were sanskar wiping her vermillion, swara sitting in room on bed in tears, she descending down the stairs and then slipped.

She woke up screaming ‘no’ and pushing sanskar away from herself breaking his sleep and shocking him as she was breathing heavily and panicking about something. He quickly switched on the lights.

Sanskar- swara.. swara calm down… look at me.

Swara- [in trance of the dream] no sanskar… baby… sorry… vo….. don’t go….. I am alone…..i..

Sanskar- ssshhhh swara I am here… calm down…. Swara.. [he cupped her face and made her look at him.] see I am here. It was a bad dream. Relax… ssshhh

Swara- [hugged him crying] sanskar… aahhhh…. Uuuhhhh…..

Sanskar- [rubbing her back] sshhh [when she calmed a little] it was bad dream right.

Swara- reality which was a nightmare and came in dreams.

Sanskar- [parted the hug and wiped her tears] what did you saw.

Swara- wo… in baadi once I was about to slip from the stairs and that just came in my dreams. I just got afraid of the consequences if I would have fallen…. I …

She was shivering badly in fear.

Sanskar- nothing as such happened. You are safe and with me. I am here naa.

He poured water in glass and made her drink and calmed her. He tried diverting her mind but she seemed not to forget it and was lying clutching his t- shirt.

Sanskar- swara….

She looked at him. He kissed her forehead and slowly came down and kissed her teary eyes. Rubbing his thumb over her cheeks he leaned and captured her lips in a soft and slow kiss. Initially she did not reciprocate but slowly she calmed and gave in. embracing her he patted her forehead and she soon slept.

Sanskar- [thinking] there is something which is bothering you swara, something which you aren’t sharing it with me and which is eating you from inside. I need to confront you in morning.
