Swara opened her eyes in the morning when cool breeze touched her face. She saw sanskar getting ready in formals.
Swara: sanskar!
Sanskar: please leave me alone swara. I don’t want to talk to you now!
She jerked listening his words but his heart was broken much more by her two faces..no two identities.
He turned to her and gave a Bluetooth.
Sanskar: I think you don’t have any use of this now..you can talk to me freely..
His taunt stabbed her heart and she remembered how she use to manage talking to varun before sanskar using it.

He left the room while swara went to washroom after taking clothes from wardrobe. She came out and was surprised to see a red crape saree with silver border.
Swara: who has changed my clothes…she heard ragini’s voice downstairs..may be she did.
Swara got ready by wearing the saree, bangles and ear rings. She applied kajal and then filled her hairline with sindoor. Her face became red while filling her maang thinking about sanskar.
She then came down and saw sanskar and ragini discussing something and laughing aloud..for a moment, she felt jealous to see ragini laughing with him where she has to be in her place.
Sanskar didn’t even care to look at her.
Sanskar: ma! Swara and I are going out today. We will come come for lunch.
A smile came on her face. They both started walking towards the entrance but was interrupted by ragini.
Ragini: I think you forgot something!!
Swara: what!

She looked at herself and again ragini.
Ragini tool a bowl from the table and make swara to eat the kheeer.
Swara: kheer..for what?
Ragini: nothing special. I just made it with my own hands
She then fed it to sanskar. Both of them left the hall and ragini smiled happily seeing them together.
At entrance, swara encountered post man.
Postman: who is swara MAHESWARI?
Swara: me..

Postman: here is your parcel.
Swara understood that they were the papers which she asked someone to arrange.she signed the papers and went to the car where sanskar was already waiting for her.
She simply kept staring out of the window and the early morning breeze removed all her tensions as it flew through her. Sanskar stopped infront of a temple and went inside the temple while swara followed him. They made circumambulations and stood infront of the idol of Rama and sita.
Swara: I am sorry sanskar. I really didn’t trap you. Please understand me.
He turned to her and she was surprised to see him smiling at her.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Swara: sanskar!
Sanskar: stop crying swara. You don’t look good while crying.
Swara: it means you forgave me.
Her voice was filled with surprise and joy.
Sanskar: I think I ….forgave you.

Swara: sanskar!!
To her surprise, he hugged her.
Sanskar: I was angry with you but not now swara.
Swara broke the hug and looked him with confusion.
Swara: but this quickly? What is the reason behind this.
Sanskar:( smiled) marriage.
He then took her puzzled face in his hands.
Sanskar: yes swara..marriage is reason for my this. Do you why in our tradition, a girl gets married to a guy elder to her.
Swara nodded in no but was eagerly waiting to listen the answer from him.
Sanskar: because the man will treat his wife as a child because of her age and will eventually guide her and forgive..
Swara: I think you did graduation in matter of love and marriage
Sanskar: nothing as such swara. Till yesterday, my hate was dominating all others emotions and today my love is…

Swara smiled at him cause she too experienced.
Swara: yes sanskar! Till date, our hate has dominated other emotions and so we never tried to understand each other but..
Sanskar: if we have balance and control on all emotions equally then we would be in place of those idols.
Swara: you were true sanskar. We will never hate a person but their behaviour.
He smiled nodding yes.
Sanskar: I really don’t want to miss you swara. If I had known that staying together for four months will bring such a change then I would have married you in my tenth class itself…
Swara: and I would have come today to jail for your release….child marriages are crime..aren’t they?
They both smiled.
Swara: a small gift to you from my side
She gave him the papers and his face showed happiness, excitement and surprise after reading it.
Sanskar: are you serious?
Swara: yes sanskar…you can now fulfill your dream of becoming a lecturer.
Sanskar became teary eyed.
Sanskar: but how did you get to know?

Swara: you..sorry varun had once said this to vaishali. I remember you saying that you love staying in village by teaching those students but I was unable to fullfill your wish completely as our family is not so strong to stay away from us .
Sanskar: laksh always used to tease me listening my dream.
Swara: but swara won’t.
He smiled and wiped his tears
Sanskar: I don’t want to make marriage a joke by marrying you again but as a husband…I have this right ( didn’t mean to offend anyone)
He took a pinch of sindoor from the feet of goddesses seetha and filled her maang with it.
Sanskar: the right of filling your hairline and show how important you are to me.
Swara rubbed her eyes when sindoor went into her eyes. She felt bad seeing sanskar smiling at her..
Swara: how mean sanskar..you didn’t even try to help me.
Sanskar: you were looking cute with tears in your eyes.
Swara:Still you love me seeing in tears!!.
She hugged him.

Swara: I hate you sanskar!
He hugged her back.
Sanskar: I hate you too swara!
He then lifted her in his arms and as it was early hours, the temple was almost deserted.
Swara snaked her hands around his neck and stared at his eyes. he too did the same and descended the steps.

Swara: are you going to carry me like this till the car.
Sanskar: actually no..because my hands are aching
He then made her stand while swara placed her hands in his.
Swara: I wish laksh would have been alive. He would surely felt happy seeing us ..
Sanskar: who said that laksh is dead. see …he pointed the sky…he is seeing from there and is blessing us even.
Suddenly, a gentle wind blew and the flowers of the tree under which they were standing has fallen on them.
Swara: you are right!
They both sat in the car and drove off
From there the pilgrimage of love of this hate couple has started.
*****

From there the pilgrimage of their love has started- sanskar maheswari.
He stretched his hands by dropping the pen on the table after writing the last line of his novel.
He turned back listening some familiar voice saying ” finished writing? “. He saw a old women in saree which was draped in traditional style and was holding a cup in her hands.
Sanskar: swara…my granny.
Swara: granny!! You are saying as if you are a young man.
Sanskar got up from his place and walked to the mirror.he then looked at himself. The skin of his body had wrinkles and the hairs on his head were grey evidencing his experiences in life
Sanskar: you are right Mrs. Maheswari but I am still young..I can jog …he moved few steps…can you do this?
Swara: enough of your drama. You know very well that I cannot walk properly even because of my…
Sanskar: arthritis…
He sighed while swara pouted.
Sanskar: but there are many women who…
She interrupted him.
Swara: I think your passion and profession of teaching has not left you even after three years of you leaving it.

Sanskar smiled and looked at his retirement photo which was hung on wall. He was sitting in middle and all his staff members were standing surrounding him.
Sanskar: passion cannot leave us while profession can. Will you proof read my novel?
Swara: I would have surely read if it was written by you but unfortunately Mr. Varun has written it and I know very well about his writing skills.
Sanskar smirked.
Sanskar: but I want vaishali to read it before it gets published.
Swara: enough of flirting now.. I came here to inform you about ragini’s arrival..
Sanskar: what! Ragini is coming. We must do many preparations.
They both turned their heads to entrance hearing a person’s voice.
SWASAN: Ayu!!
Ayu: what!! ragini maasi is coming. Why didn’t you inform it ma?
Swara: I am sorry beta.
A girl of six years came running to sanskar.

Girl: grand pa…
He lifted her in his arms.
Sanskar: meena!
Meena: ragini dadi is coming?
Swara: yes..
Meena: then ansh bhayya will also come. Leave me dada. I should inform it to mom.
Sanskar: I will leave you meena but see my cheeks are crying…you need to do something.
She immediately kissed his cheeks.
Meena: see now they stopped crying.
Ayu and meena left the room and they heard meena calling her mother.
Swara: Ayu will always become a child listening ragini’s name.
She turned to sanskar and saw him pouting
Swara: what happened??
Sanskar: my cheeks are still crying!!
Swara: oh! Let me help..

She leaned towards his cheek and pinched it hard.
Sanskar: swara!!
Swara: I am not as sweet as meena. You know very well that I hate you.
Sanskar: I hate you too.
They heard Ayu greeting and shouting” ragini maasi”
Swara: come fast sanskar..we need to go..
Sanskar: yes swara otherwise this Lucky’s girl…he stuck his tongue out seeing swara’s angry face….sorry krish’s girl will see our death.
She smiled while sanskar forward his hand. Swara took support of him and both of them started walking.
The pages of the novel were still flying by the wind that blew from the adjacent window indicating that the whole book is not enough to write the love story of the hate couple.
