LAADLI

Heartbreak

Hello my lovely readers and my dear friends... I'm back with the brand new part of my story Laadli. Hope you all like this.

The person clenching his fist stood there watching at the duo, Swara and Raj that he missed them moving towards Rithvik's car and driving away.

"Swara... Your only mine and no one can change that. Neither your family nor can you separate us. And I don't like you being close to any other person that is not me. And I'll make sure that you know this. But for now I'll have to remain quite because I want my sister to be happy. Once she gets married to your brother then I'll make my move. Till then wait for me sweetheart. I love you."

[No prizes for guessing because I think every one knows that the person is none other than our Sanskar.]

************************************

Here Mr. Mehta is worried about breaking the news of the engagement to Aashi, though he knows that she will agree to it but he is still worried. So he thought that he will tell her later.

************************************

In the evening the brother-sister duo reached their home and found a very happy Ansh chatting with Abhi and Shivaji while Swayyam as usual was missing from the picture. They both look at each other and move towards the elders to find the reason of the unusual environment of the house.

"Baba... What's going on here?" Swara asked in a happy tone sitting beside Abhi who takes her in his embrace.

"It's a good news princess. We have fixed Ansh's engagement," Shivaji says happily.

Listening this both Rithvik and Swara get happy but then a frown makes a way on their forehead and both pout and huffs loudly to make their annoyance known. Shivaji smiles knowingly and continues, "Don't you want know the girl's name?"

Swara narrows her eyes at him but then slowly a smile creeps on her face and she bounces on her heels excitedly.

"Who is she? Is she lovely? Where did you find her? What's her name? Tell me... Tell me... Tell me..." she keeps chanting making everyone chuckle.

"My Doll... Calm down and yes she is very lovely , and you know her very well and her name is ..." Abhi tells her when Ansh cuts him off.

"Aashi..."

Swara and Rithvik both get stunned and look at each other. Rithvik tries to absorb the situation and leaves the hall without a word leaving the rest confused on his behaviour.

Ansh looks at him worried, "Gudiya... what happened to him? Is he not happy or what?"

Swara comes out of the trance and looks at him and composes herself, "Yes dada, he is fine. I think he is just shocked knowing that both Abhi dada and Ansh dada are getting hooked. I'll go and see."

All seem convinced and nod in understanding while Swara follows Rithvik to his room.

She finds him standing by the window lost in his thoughts. She looks at him with sadness.

"Rithu dada..." Swara calls out to him slowly.

Rithvik hears her but doesn't turn around but when he heard the footsteps nearing him he immediately wiped the tears which appeared on his cheeks.

He tries to smile for the sake of Swara but he can't fool the person who knows him in and out.

Swara goes and hugs him tightly from behind and cries silently giving him her unsaid support.

"Dada, I'll talk to Dada and Baba... I know they will support you and I'm very sure that Aashi also don't know anything," Swara said trying to leave the room.

"No Choco pie... You will not go anywhere. You will not tell anything to anyone and if Aashi doesn't know about it then let it be that way because I know that Aashi will never deny her father for anything," he says with strained voice and stops Swara from leaving his room.

"But Dada this is wrong... You and Aashi love each other and I can't see you both getting hurt. I'll talk to Ansh Dada also. He will understand because Aashi doesn't love him," Swara tries to convince him.

"No... Ansh dada loves Aashi and I can never come in between his happiness. And moreover I can't put Aashi through the stress of choosing one from her father and me. So it's better we keep quite and Choco pie swear on me that you won't discuss anything with anyone this," Rithvik says to Swara who was weeping silently.

Swara shakes her head when Rithvik continues, "Ansh dada is very happy Choco pie and I know you would never want to see him sad, it's better leave this topic here itself."

Swara is in dilemma, one side her one brother who is in a one sided love with her best friend while the other side, her other brother and her best friend. She just prays to God for happiness of all three.

Sanskar reaches his room and opens a secret door behind the wall painting. He served the room which is filled with the photos of Swara from different places she was present at. He goes near the empty space and attaches another photo of hers which was taken at the college.

"Jaan... I don't like you talking to anyone other than me but see your always with that bast**d Raj who is sticking to you like a leech and I don't like it one bit. And I'll make sure he is away from you."

He goes to the other wall which has a board with all the pictures of the men present in Swara's life from her family to friends.

The craziness in his eyes was something different. Different from the Sanskar which was known to Swara, to the outer world. The madness was dangerous. It was like a total different person in the body of Sanskar.

He comes out of the room and finds Ruhi sitting in the hall with a pout on her face.

"What happened Ru?"

"Bhaiya I called Abhi to come with me to shopping but he said that is busy and cut the call," she replied being sad.

Sanskar sighs, "It's ok babygirl... He may be really busy. No worries come, let's take you to shopping."

This Sanskar was totally different from the one in the room.
