~ Shrenu Parikh as Uttara Maheswari ~
Sanskar was frozen in his place with her innocent question but shook himself out of his shock and placed his hand under Swara's chin and made her look at him in the eye before answering her.
"Ara, listen to me carefully you didn't do anything wrong, it is Laksh's mistake even after you told him, that now you don't have anything to do with him or his love, he misbehaved with you, tried to make a big issue out of this, also to let others know what you feel is never wrong and as for your behaviour with Mr Gadodia, then you told what you always wanted to tell him from childhood as I said making them know what you feel isn't wrong and I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and your self-respect," Sanskar said softly running his fingers through her hair while she snuggled closer into his chest.
"But I misbehaved with elders, how can you say you are proud of me, as Mrs Gadodia said I shouldn't have talked with Mr Gadodia like that as he is elder to me but when again he chose Ragini and supported even I was his daughter to the world and everyone else," Swara asked looking in his eyes and his heart went out for her.
"You didn't misbehave with elders as you put it, Ara, you let others know what you are feeling and that isn't a crime and you didn't do wrong by confronting Mr Gadodia, because you have the right to do so and as for Mrs Gadodia and what she said is because she is still angry with us for getting married without telling her or anyone else and now she had seen that her husband will never accept you as his daughter so she is broken and the realization made her angry and she took her anger out on you, but once she realizes how wrong she is she will be back to normal, " Sanskar said which made Swara look at him.
"Thank you, for, making me your wife, accepting as your life partner and giving the place as a companion in your life and accepting as your friend and a part of your family," Swara said looking at him sincerely and he smiled at her shaking his head.
"I should thank you, Ara, for accepting me as your friend and your husband because no girl accepts a person who made society raise their fingers on her character and made her look characterless in front of them and the person she is going to marry," Sanskar said kissing her forehead while she shook her head in denial.
"You did wrong Sanskar but you realized your mistake and was guilty of what you did before you committed a sin and today whatever I'm facing is not because you but because of Ragini because she is the root cause of all this and let me tell you if the end result is you being in my life as a husband and friend then I will go through all of this and anything else thousand times because it brings me to you," Swara confessed looking into his eyes straight while he was surprised with her confession and unknowingly both bent towards each other, they slowly came towards each other, their lips were mere inches apart, they can feel each other"s breath on their lips and Swara closed her eyes in anticipation and Sanskar placed his rough lips on her and he can feel her soft lips which were softer than petals and he licked her lower lip which made her mouth open slightly and he forced his tongue into her mouth finding every nook and crevice and they kissed each other for few minutes and then Sanskar let her go as he can sense that Swara was having difficulty in breathing and Swara didn't look up at him due to shyness and hugged which made him laugh.
"That was mind-blowing Ara, we should try doing that whenever we get a chance, " Sanskar whispered softly in her ear which made her arms around him tighten and he chuckled sensing her shyness.
"Sanskar," Swara whined at his teasing still hiding her face in his chest but she can't help the smile that crept on her lips or the happiness she felt in her heart at what happened before a moment and she knew soon he will accept and realize his feelings for her.
"Thank you, Ara, Go-" Sanskar was going to say something else when they heard a knock on their door and they got separated, Swara made herself proper and nodded at Sanskar who opened door to see Uttara there.
"Bhai, can I, you and Bhabhi go somewhere to spend some time having fun please, it has been a long time, " Uttara asked while Swara had a brain wave and she nodded her head while plan started to form in her brain.
"Okay Uttu go and get ready, first we will have breakfast at our favourite cafe then we will watch a movie later we will see what to do rest of the day," Sanskar explained his plan and soon both Swara and Uttara agreed and went to get ready while Sanskar went down to tell about his plan to his parents.
After 30 mins Uttara came down wearing a knee-length Black frock while Sanskar was in khaki paired with a purple shirt and both were waiting for Swara when she came down wearing black palazzo pant with a black crop top but sindoor and mangalsutra were still present on her which made Sanskar smile but mostly his eyes were on her who was looking mesmerized and sexy in that modern dress of hers but others including Bose and Gadodia family who were still here are shocked and stunned but they didn't heed them, informed Sujatha and walked out.
"Sanskar, I called someone who will meet us at the cafe, if you don't mind joining us," Swara said and both Sanskar and Uttara looked curious as to who is this person is.
"We don't mind Bhabhi, but who is he that you are so excited?" Uttara asked and Swara just smiled looking at her while she can see the look in Sanskar's eyes.
"He is someone who is close to me from my childhood, mentor, guide, a partner in crime when I used to play pranks on others, I was close to him while growing along with few others, I know," Swara said and was observing Sanskar from her peripheral vision and can see his knuckles turn white as he was clutching the steering tightly while Sanskar was surprised with the emotions he is feeling as those are new to him, he never felt towards anyone not even Kavitha too and just then they reached the cafe and three of the entered inside.
Swara busy searching around the cafe for the person she is going to meet as she didn't see him in a long time because last time she saw him was when they met each other before her marriage and she informed them of her decision to marry Laksh which made them angry at her and without informing her they moved to London and after that, she never got a chance to see or talk to them which made her heart pain and just then she felt her eyes being close and she immediately recognized who it was while Sanskar was busy glaring at the man who was touching his wife with a smile on his lips and Uttara was busy in gazing dreamily at him and instantly she felt crush on him and both Sanskar and Uttara came out of their dreamland listening to Swara's squealing like a kid.
"Bhaiya," Swara shouted turning around and hugging the life out of him which made the made the man laugh loudly while he returned the hug with the same intensity.
"Gudiya, I missed you, How are you?" He asked her while Swara looked at him upwards still hugging him with a wide smile on her lips.
"I missed you too Bhaiya and I'm fine," Swara said while he bent down and kissed her forehead which made Sanskar burn in jealousy and he cleared his throat indicating their presence and Swara looked at him with a sheepish look on her face.
"Bhaiya meet my husband and your brother-in-law, Mr Sanskar Maheswari and she is my Nanad and Sanskar's Sister Uttara Maheswari and Guys, he is my Bhaiya Neil Aman Mathur, one and only son and heir of Anjali Industries," Swara introduced them to each other.
"We are going to have a serious discussion Gudiya and meanwhile it is nice meeting you Mr & Ms Maheswari, I hope my sister is well-taken care," Neil said but the first part was directed at Swara for which she pouted.
"Pleasure is ours Mr Mathur and please call me Sanskar because if my wife is calling you as Brother then you and we are a family," Sanskar said shaking each other hands.
"Nice meeting you Neil," Uttara said and Neil bent down and kissed her hand which made Uttara blush at the action while Sanskar looked at that with open mouth while Swara smirked seeing how her brother was smitten with Uttara and her beauty.
