Devil's Bride

Part : 16

Suddenly his monologue gets broken with the ringtone of his iphone. He finds a call from Manish whom he has kept for Swara and his kids' well beings. In call he hasn't shown his desperation much because according to him, other persons could take hold of you if they come to know of your weakness. It's another thing that HIS SWARA knows him the best whether it's inward or outward. But then also he has been always successful to hide his emotions from her. Because he is pro in it from childhood only.

Looking towards the wall clock, he gets to know it's the time for his office. Sighing he goes toward his lavish bathroom. Standing under the shower, he cools his temper because today he doesn't want to destroy his chance to get Swara and their kids back. And for doing everything perfectly, he wants to be strong enough.

Other side, Swara places breakfast on the little wooden table present on their dining. But seeing their favourite pasta on breakfast also doesn't bring smile on kids' face. Seeing them Swara feels heartbroken because she knows the reason why her kids are sad today. However, she reminds them that if they eat their breakfast quickly from momma's hand then their Papa will come home quickly. Telling lies to her kids is not her choice because she has no option. Other hand, she can't show her tears also as this will make her kids gloomy.

She makes her mind she will take a last chance if that could make her kids happy from heart. She is mother so for her kids, she can lower her head before anybody. And here she can diminish her self-respect before her devil husband. Taking this in her mind, she gets ready for office. Wearing a navy blue colour shiffon saree and adoring herself with her marital signs, she gets ready. Taking the sling bag on her right shoulder and the purse and mobile on her left hand's hold, she comes out. Before going out she hugs her kids heartily and showers kisses on their face on the door itself. Kaki smiles at their bond.

But she is not the only one who is enjoying the scene. There is another person also who is watching the whole scene. And the person is Manish who is keeping eyes on Swara and her little family. He is afraid of S.M.'s wrath and what's this beautiful family has done to him that S.M. himself has kept him standing at this house's doorstep. And moreover, why will that Playboy Maheswari will take interest in a married lady and that too a mother of three kids? Thinking it related to his office work, he shruggs his thought aside and captures the whole scene in his phone. And then he sends it to its right destination. Whatever happens he can't betray his own boss, isn't it?

Here Swara goes out from her little apartment and Kaki takes the sulking kids inside by closing the door. Meanwhile, Sanskar is busy in watching that serene scene. He doesn't know why and from where his tears are coming, watching this little adorable moment among momma and her kids. He chuckles softly seeing HIS KIDS' jesture. The unwillingness to leave their momma is clearly shown in their eyes. It pains him somewhere because if he had been with them then may be the kids also would have done this with him. He vows that after bringing back Swara and the kids in this mansion, he will never allow Swara to do work because his kids don't like to be away from their momma. For his kids, he can do anything.

With a new determination, he goes toward his office. Unknown to him, very soon something is going to happen that will shake the base of his whole planning.

•Inside Karma Company•

Swara comes inside the cabin alloted to her and Aman for doing their work. She truly wants to complete the work for today somewhat little quick because she wants to have some mutual talk with Sanskar. She wants to make him aware that he is father of three little kids before it gets too late. Her kids are dreaming to meet him so she wants to fulfill that dream.

Here Sanskar enters into his cabin but before entering inside he looks at her direction to find her working with whole dedication. Aman chuckles a little seeing his khadus boss's desperation to meet his own wife. But meeting his angry gaze, he gets silent. Sanskar goes to his cabin thinking to talk with her at lunch break, without knowing his this action will bring a new layer of misunderstanding in their relationship. Here Aman goes and formally talks with Swara about works and all. Meanwhile, Sanskar is busy to glare at poor Aman for sitting and talking with his Swara.

Couldn't bearing some other man sitting with his wife, he calls Swara inside his cabin for some silly reasons. But later he ends up rebuking her, such a stupidity! Seeing him professional, Swara too couldn't gather her courage to talk about the kids so she also decides to talk in lunch time. Because it's a serious issue and it needs importance.

•During Lunch Break•

As the clock starts to continue its music, informing others about tiffin break. All sighs thinking to get some free time to enjoy from this tight schedule. Swara silently stands at the corner of the hall so that the area gets empty and she could talk with Sanskar regarding their kids. Before all could go towards cafeteria, the peon comes in hall to announce that everyone must be present at hall as it's something important. Like others, Swara too is standing there, not knowing what's the matter.

Suddenly all could see a couple of middle fifties with Kavita Gadodia is coming inside. Seeing Kavita there, Swara knows danger is coming on her way. But Swara gets confused seeing another couple instead of Kavita's parents with her. Soon enough the couple makes them presentable and goes towards the dias to announce something important.

Both take mike at the same time and start to talk rather joyously.

Couple:- We know you people will be thinking who we are! Before further announcement, we must introduce ourselves. Well, we are Sanskar's parents - Mr. Ramprasad Maheswari and Mrs. Sujata Maheswari.

Listening her, all gape towards them while Swara is feeling emotional as for the first time she is meeting her in laws like this and that too in this way.

Couple:- So before you run your mind with your crazy imagination. We both will tell you not to run high. By the way, we are here to let you inform people about my son, Sanskar Maheswari's engagement is going to occur with the one and only Miss Kavita Gadodia. And we want all of yours presence in that auspicious occasion that is going to happen after two days.

Listening them, all get a huge shock while Sanskar who has been coming out after getting news of his parents' arrival, stops in his place. Everyone is looking towards the dias in complete wonder while girls make faces at Kavita in utter jealousy. Swara who has a hope in some corner of her heart to tell him about the kids and to ask for accepting the kids. Now her hope gets completely broken. She gets back her strong posture to fake her self confidence because in these last three years she has learnt to be strong enough.

Sanskar who still now has been looking towards the dias, looks back at the hall to find HER. And there he finds her in the utmost corner of the hall, faking her strength. He very well knows what's happening inside her heart. Suddenly Swara turns towards his direction and both get into a painful eyelock. Sanskar could see pain, love, anger and sadness in her eyes but later her eyes depict nothing except blankness. And the thought of her going away from his life makes him suffocated. When Swara breaks the eye lock, he founds tears on his eyes without his knowledge. Kavita has thoroughly noticed the eyelock between them and she clenches her jaws in utter jealousy. But later she smirks thinking now Sanskar will be hers for forever. And looks towards all girls present in the room in daring eyes.

In this commotion, Aman is the only poor soul who couldn't understand a thing. If his boss has already a beautiful wife with three kids then why the hell he is agreed to marry someone else? Moreover, he knows how much possessive his boss is for his wife! It's the only sign of love. Even he could see the painful eye lock between the couple too, then what drama the elderly couple are doing on the dias? He eagerly looks forward to know further what's going to happen next to change the equation of SwaSan's relationship?
