Chapter 64
A week later
Entire week was a rollercoaster ride for Swara and Sanskar. Pre wedding Rituals, Reception party followed by a grand gathering organized by the office staff. Although they were enjoying every bit of it but still it was tiring. Being married was altogether a different feeling for them…. Due to all this busy schedule they didn’t get any time to plan for their honey moon trip, Sanskar was guilty for not being able to take her out, because of the inauguration of the Hotel in Bhopal and few of it’s chain in Indore and Gwalior, it was mandatory for him to be there, he couldn’t leave it on anyone else as it was Adarsh’s dream project. But Swara wasn’t upset with it, she assured him not to have any guilt over it, they can plan their trip later. She knew this project holds a great importance for Sanskar…. But as compensation and to reduce his self guilt she asked him to take her to their cottage, his holiday home and he happily agreed….

Night, at cottage site…
Swara’s face had lit up with pure joy and excitement witnessing the surrounding. Inside the cottage, it was decorated with Candles and flowers everywhere, she felt like being transported to some fairy land… with a broad smile she turned back to Sanskar who was all smiling to her….
“This is awesome, how you did all this?” she asked
“Don’t you know your husband, nothing is impossible for him…. And when my wife asked for something, how could it be just ordinary” he said with proud smile….
She hugged him tightly with affection, “thank you so much” she softly said.
“I have something for you, come” holding her hand he walked in bedroom…. Picking up the file lying on the bed he raised it towards her…. she was looking at him with puzzled eyes….
“What’s this?” she asked
“Why don’t you open and see it” he replied
As she opened the file and read the papers tucked inside, her eyes brimmed with tears…. She could only stare him with teary eyes, more gratified then ever…. Sanskar held her close. Wiping the tears she had on her cheek he whispered “this is my wedding gift to you”
Sanskar has paid all the debts of Shekhar and in return they got back their mansion and company. He transferred company and mansion on the name of Sharmishtha and Ashwin….
Sanskar: (holding her) I wanted to give you this on our wedding night but papers were not ready…. Are you happy Swara?
Swara: (staring him) you don’t know what I am feeling right now, you are a benediction to me… a blessing perhaps….
Sanskar: now Ma and Ashwin are my family and it’s my responsibility to take care of their present and future….. Swara if you can accept my family as yours then why can’t I….
His words struck him hard, touched her soul indeed. She wondered how she could have ended up with such a beautiful person….
“Sanskar I want to do something, may I?” she asked for his permission and he nodded, though little surprised…. The very next moment she bent down and touched his feet, making him gasp in shock…
“Swara, what are you doing? Pagal ho?” he blurted out, quickly pulling her up…
Swara: I am just fulfilling my promise….
He looked questionably with her and she continued…..
Swara: when I was kid, I always wonder why my Dida touches Dadu’s feet. Once I asked her and she told me because husbands are superior and after God for every wife her husband is venerated……… I laughed over it, her words were amusing for me, how a woman can worship a man? She teased me that one day I also have to follow this but I was reluctant. Then she said I will do it happily not being burdened as a ritual and I promised her that if I feel my husband worth of it, I will do it…..
Sanskar looked at her, his eyes filled with immense love. Embracing her tightly he murmured “you are crazy, what I do with you?”
“Just love me like this, always” she replied……
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Mid-night, inside the cottage….
They were reclining on the bed, holding each other, enjoying their closeness in silence….
Sanskar: (to himself) should I ask her, what if she is not ready, might be my words made her uncomfortable?
Swara: (to herself) why he is not moving forward, should I tell him I am ready but how could I, it’s really awkward….
Sanskar: (to himself) I can’t hold back more, she didn’t know how difficult it is for me to suppress my secret temptation…. It’s a sweet torture to be close with her doing nothing….. but I have to wait for her
“Swara, you want to go back?” he asked playing with her fingers…..
“It is a compensation for our honeymoon trip, So…..” she paused feeling hesitant, he stared her with bemused eyes, figuring out whether her words were meant same as he interpreted or it’s just his imagination….
“Swara, don’t play with me” he said closing his eyes….
“I am not, I want you to…..” again she is short of words but he understood what she is trying to tell him…. With intense eyes he pulled her closer and locked his lips with her…. after a small yet passionate kiss, he looked at her. Her eyes were revealing the secret of her own desire, with a tinge of coyness in it.
“I have waited for it so long but now finally……” he whispered and again captured her lips in his for a kiss, a deep and little aggressive one….. kissing her, he rolled over pinning her beneath him. The s*xual tension was brewing between them. She could see the love and passion in his eyes, something she has always wished for, in her lover…. Kissing her neck softly he pushed his hand inside her top and unhooked her bra, it was the beginning and soon all the barriers between them were discarded… to his every touch she was responding with equal delight, trying to match his passion and excitement. He crushed her to him. Although the passion he unleashed in her making her to ask for more but she was also shy with the unfamiliarity of such touch. She moved her hands to hide her bare body, Her eyes were close…
“Look at me baby” he asked softly, almost in whisper
She looked at him, his blazing eyes made her to drop down her gaze….
“I can’t, please” she pleaded…
“Remember, I told you there should be no hiding between you and me…. not even here” he said in hushed tone and removed her hand gently from her upper body… she moved closer and hugged him tightly… the color rushed to her cheek, closing her eyes, she whispered his name…. slowly the flames of desire enveloped them, making them to experience the pinnacle of pleasure…. Now they were one in every sense, their souls were celebrating for their complete confluence….
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Morning, cottage…
Sanskar was staring her silently since he woke up, she was sleeping peacefully, cuddling in his arms…. For him it was one of the most enjoyable sites to look at her innocent face….. caressing her cheek, he kissed her forehead….. she wiggled with his touch and looked at him with her half open eyes….
Sanskar: (pecking her cheek) Good morning love…
Swara: good morning
She realized their position, legs entangled, bare body…. she never thought the morning would turn so awkward after the last night, Sanskar was observing her flushed face….. he moved closer and held her from waist….
“Oh God, not again….. I have to do something to bring you out of your shell” he said making her look at him, holding her chin up… “Don’t worry I figured it out” he whispered…Swara looked at him with puzzled eyes asking through her eyes….
“We have to do it often to make you feel comfortable” he said playfully… she hit him hardly on the chest making him wince a little…
“ouch, Swara easy…” he said holding her hand and then placed his lips on hers, stopping her to say anything….
It is truly said that “Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny”. These two souls experienced that, they met each other when they were broken, empty but ended up being panacea for one another…..

5 years later…..
Sanskar’s POV
The day she came into my life, everything changed. Her arrival brought hope and happiness along with an eternal solace. She brought me back from the darkness I was living in. I started dreaming again. I probably felt some connection the moment I saw her first but out of my arrogance and fears, I named it as pity…. But never thought this connection would turn out into a lifelong togetherness. I am lucky to have her as my companion, her presence in my life is enough…. I don’t need anything else, she and my own small family….
“oh, you are here…” the voice brought him back from the thoughts, he turned back and gave a small smile to her, Swara suspiciously looked at him….
Swara: (coming up to him) you are here in the balcony, I have been searching you everywhere…. What are you doing?
Sanskar encircled his arm around her waist and bringing her closer kissed her forehead “happy wedding anniversary” he whispered…
“Oh God, how couldn’t I remember, is it 12!” she asked looking at his wristwatch….
“yes dear” he replied and leaned closer to kiss her but stopped in the middle hearing a knock on the door……
“She never forgets” Swara stated looking towards the door with a smile… and rushed to open it, Sanskar followed her
Siya was eagerly waiting outside holding a small cake lighted with candles “Happy wedding Anniversary Ma and dad” she excitedly wished…. It became a ritual to her, she never forget this special Day of her parents, which was equally special for her too… and always wished them in midnight, the first one to wish…..
Swara: (hugging Siya) thank you so much, my bacha….
Sanskar: (caressing her cheek) thanks Princess…
“Happy wedding Anniversary badi mom and bade papa” a sweet boyish voice came behind Siya..
Swara: (shocked) Nikhil!!!
Siya: Ma, I told him to sleep but he was so adamant to wish you two at 12 o’clock, So chachu permit him to sleep in my room…..
Nikhil, 4 year old son of Laksh and Ragini and Siya’s ardent devotee…. He blindly follows her…
Siya: come on dad, ma… cut the cake….
Swara and Sanskar moved towards, blowing the candle they cut the cake together….. Nikhil clapped in excitement….. but Siya looked at him with horrified face…..
Soon room filled with the cries, Swara looked at Sanskar helplessly….. she moved to the bed side and bend down to pick Ayan, their 9 months old son, who all woke up from the sleep with the clapping sound…. Now it will take hours to them to make him sleep again…. Swara moved towards Sanskar and handed over Ayaan to him, he embraced him in his arms “Hey champ, what happened? Stop crying”…. Rubbing his back, he walked inside the room to make him normal again, soon his cries fainted….
He was the small devil wrapped in cute, innocent, charming pelt. The most insolence kid of the house even at this age, he needs constant attention…. Swara sometimes wonder why he is like this, neither Sanskar nor she was of this nature, so from where he got this trait but Sanskar explained her every kid is different and needs different treatment… he was no doubt his father’s boy, Sanskar with Siya’s experience was much better in handling small kids than Swara, he used to do it when Swara was busy with business as she started her own small firm after completing masters…. but Siya can’t hear anything against her brother, instead brothers…. Both Nikhil and Ayaan were her most prized possessions, her darling brothers…..
Sanskar came up to them with Ayaan who was smiling back again with his two front milk tooth, which made him look cutest …. Siya fed cake to Sanskar and Swara and then to Nikhil who was waiting impatiently for his turn…. Swara took a small piece and raised it to Siya but before she could have it, Ayaan snatched it from Swara’s hand and it fell off from her hand, with little part sticking in his hand…..
“Oh God, this little devil” Swara exclaimed….
But they all burst into laughter when Ayaan placed his hand on Sanskar’s face, rubbing the leftover of cake piece on his cheek….
Sanskar shook his head with a smile… and kissed his cheek
This was just one blissful moments of their blessed life, during these five years they had ups and downs, moment of happiness as sorrows, love and fight but together they faced it as they promised to detangle the every entangle one……
