Swara smile faded as she realized their proximity. But she didn't resist or oppose. She leans little more closer to him. Sanskar smiled, he put her hair strands away from her face. Their faces were close . Swara shivered to feel his breathe on her face and closed her eyes.. Sanskar leans a bit and kissed her forhead, then move toward her eyes and softly kissed it. Swara gripped the bed sheet but didn't open her eyes. He also closed his eyes and pull her more toward himself cupping her face such that their lips were inch apart. They can feel each other breathe.. then only someone knock on the door. They open their eyes. Swara immediately get up from the bed and look away.
It was AP and sujatha. Sanskar look at swara then look at them and smiled fakely.

Sujatha: how r you feeling now Sanskar? You are fine now.

Sanskar:( murmured) I was feeling much better before few seconds..
But Swara listen this as she was standing there only. Her eyes widen but feels shy by his words.

AP: did you say something?

Sanskar: no.. I mean, I m fine now.

AP and sujatha started talking to him casually asking about his health. After sometime , AP tell Swara to go back home.

Sujatha: yes Swara ,u go we r here. Laksh will drop u. Jiji, I will just come.

AP nods and sujatha go out side.

Swara look at Sanskar who was not so Happy with her leaving. He made innocent face and plead through eyes not to go. Swara give helpless look and point toward AP through her eyes.. what she will say to her.
AP notices this conversation going on between them through their eyes and could not help to smile.

AP: Swara ..

Swara: haan,. Yes maa.. yeah I was going only. Just..

AP: listen to me first beta, I was saying when u will come back na.. bring some of your clothes too so that u may not have to go daily. As I see, u won't feel good at mm. So u better be here with Sanskar. He will also feel good and as I think he is recovering fast in ur presence.

Swasan get embarrassed by her teasing. Sanskar smiled while Swara avoid looking at her. AP laugh at them. Swara said nothing and go out.

Days passed Sanskar was recovering. Swara was always there to help him. Sanskar feels blessed to have her as his wife but sometimes feel guilty that he couldn't understand her earlier. He couldn't see that pure and innocent soul inside her. She was beautiful not out ward but inside also. It's been a week and today Sanskar was going to discharge. In these days, swara was always there for him to support him. Right now , he is sitting on the bed and looking at her wife who was packing his stuff to go back home.

Swara: arey where is that medicine? I keep it here only.

Swara talk to herself busy in arranging things.

Uttara: arey bhabhi, it's here.. see

Swara: thanks Uttara. And it's done. Uttara u take this and keep it in car I m coming with that bag.

Uttara: ok bhabhi..
Uttara go out.

Swara go to Sanskar and see him lost.
Swara: Sanskarji.. where are u ?
Sanskar: hmm.. haan.
Swara: what are u thinking? Let go.
Sanskar: thank you..
Swara:( confused) what?
Sanskar: thank you so much Swara for being there for me, even though I had done so much to u. If there would have been someone else. She might have left me. But u were always beside me. I wish I could understand u before but.. you know every time I want to ask forgiveness, I feel ashamed on myself..

Swara: Sanskarji, do u think I feel pity for u that's why I m here with u?

Sanskar: what? No Swara, I know u can never think like that..

          

Swara: then why u feel guilty? I m here with u and will always with u cause I want to. Cause.... Cause I love u not due to pity. Sanskarji this life is too small to hate or dislike someone and I don't hate or dislike u. Even if I want I can't do it cause my heart beats for u. I know I was heartbroken once and u were the reason but If u feel guilty then pls don't cause I don't want ur guilt. I want ur love. I want a small place in ur heart that's it. Will u give it to me? Will u give me some beautiful smiles that I forget those tears that I shed?( Tear formed in their eyes)

She extend her hand asking him to hold it.

" Bhabhi" Uttara and Laksh come there calling her. Swara instantly compose herself.

Uttara: bhabhi, Bhai, everything is done. Shall we go?

Swara give small smile and nods.

Swara: haan, Sanskar ji....
Laksh: I will bring him, u go..
Swara go with Uttara. Lakh also come with Sanskar an made him sit in car carefully but he was thinking about her words. Swara sees him but he was looking out.

"I don't want ur guilt. I want ur love. I want a small place in ur heart that's it. Will u give it to me? Will u give me some beautiful smiles that I forget those tears that I shed?"

Swara was talking to Uttara when she felt him holding her hand. She look at him only to meet his eyes. He smiled at her. She also smiled. She felt happy. He sign her to come closer. She complies and move closer. Sanskar put his hand around her shoulder and hugged her. He rest his head on hers and close his eyes.Laksh and Uttara saw them and smile.
After sometime they reached mm. Sanskar was taken to his room to let him rest as he was still not fully recovered and Swara also go with him. She made him lye on the bed.

Swara: Sanskar ji, you take rest . I will just come.
Sanskar: where are u going? Don't go na..
Swara: Sanskar ji, I will be back. I m just going to bring food for u. It's time for ur medicine.

" It's ok Swara, I have already brought it." AP said coming inside.

Swara: maa, aap? Why u come? I was coming only.
AP: why? Can't I do this for my son. He is my son then ur husband.
Swara: no maa, I didn't mean that.. I was just..
AP: arey, beta relax, I was kidding. Here take this food for both of u. U both eat and take rest. Take care Sanskar.

Sanskar nods with smile. AP go from there. Swara take plate and go to Sanskar. She give him food.

Sanskar: you are forgetting something?
Swara look confused and check everything in plate.
Swara: what? Everything is there? What I m forgetting?

Sanskar: oh, so I have to be admitted in hospital then only u will feed me right?
Swara now get him.

Swara: but Sanskarji, ur hand was injured till that time and I think it's ok now.

Sanskar: you don't wanna feed me with ur hand then tell clearly why are u talking round round?

Saying this he was about to take a bite but Swara hold plate and feed him with her hand. Sanskar smiled victoriously while Swara hides her smile which he already noticed. She also eat with him. Then she give him medicine and made him lye on bed. She goes to fresh n up.

After sometime she come back and see him . He was still awake.

Swara: Sanskarji, u didn't sleep yet.

Swara: but u..
Sanskar: yeah,I know I need rest and that's only I m doing. But I can't sleep.. can I do little bit office work then I will feel better. And then I will get good sleep..

Swara smiled at his not so successful attempt to let him do his office work. She go him and sit beside him.
