Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (Being Human) Episode 11 Season 2

Laksh's POV:
I reached to hospital to collect the reports. The medical history of Shomi Suryavansi didn't attract my attention much as I was ignorant about her case. I just checked her report casually. But swara's report definitely agitated my thoughts. She was facing the first stage of alcoholic neuropathy. Though it could be cured by long term meditation but it might affect her motherhood. She mightn't able to conceive in future due to her sexual dysfunction. How could I reveal this fact to Sanskar, that to in this state when he himself wasn't out of danger.

Distracting my thoughts, my phone buzzed. It was the call from captain. As soon as I picked up, he said in a flat tone,"Laksh! You must be aware about sanskar's death. ." With fumbling tone, I replied,"Yes captain!" In a grinning tone, he said,"Aha! You are stammering. You must be worried about his death as he is close to you." I tried to remain carefree & replied,"Nothing like that captain! There is no place for a betrayer in our dark world.."

Cutting my words, captain said,"oh! Come on laksh! Everybody knows in our gang regarding your friendship with sanskar. You can mourn over his death.." The voice of captain sounded intriguing, like he wanted to pour out information regarding sanskar from my mouth. I tried to remain grim & stern in my expression as I didn't want my buddy,Sanskar to return to that heinous world again. A ray of hope had already entered in his life and I didn't want to extinguish it by conveying the truth to captain.

In a forbidding voice, I said,"A betrayer can never be my friend, captain." Captain smiled simperingly & said,"Good progress laksh! But he is my best slayer. He is the lion of this empire. His sudden demise isn't fully acceptable to me. But anyways, he is dead now..." I nodded captain & he disconnected the call.

I was in despair, aware that something fatal was going to happen in future. Again my phone ringed & this time it was swara. As soon as I picked up, I asked her helplessly,"How is sanskar?" Swara in a jolly tone replied,"He has regained his consciousness, Laksh. It is possible because of you. Thank you so much laksh for being a real friend." I was exultant but suppressed my feelings in front of her & said,"Take care of him, swara." In a dull voice, swara said,"But laksh, he doesn't want to check up from you. He is so stubborn.. He isn't at all listening to me.."

I was shocked. Had she told about me in front of sanskar? What must be sanskar's reaction? Did she know my truth? I was confused. So, I asked her in a depressing tone,"Have you told about me in front of him, swara?" She quickly replied,"Don't worry laksh! I haven't revealed your identity. I know that it's a police case & even if any investigation will be held in future, your name won't be disclosed. That's my promise."

I breathed a sense of relief, not because I was afraid of police but because swara would be safe & domino effect wouldn't be created in her life. It was required to stay away from sanskar for some days as captain was still apprehensive about his death. My proximity to him might reveal his survival secret. So, in a convincing voice, I said to swara,"Thank you for your understanding. And don't worry! Sanskar will be fine soon. Even I am also busy with hospital duties. So, I can't come to your place to examine him. Do as I have directed & give him medicines on time. Change his dressings & whenever you will face any problem, do call me. Everything will be fine soon..." I assured her regarding his recovery & disconnected the call.

The wind direction was changing. I could sense it. Was it the growing silence before the upcoming thunderstorm? The revolving wind direction wanted to make everybody its pawn. It was like the eye of the storm. The distant viewer could only notice the calmness but the central witness could judge the brewing thunder. This could wreak everything which came in its path, even the creator as well. I was afraid to face the future. The only genuine relation of my life had gone out of track. His survival was my responsibility now. I felt restlessness & it was gradually becoming part & parcel of my life.

Swara's POV:
My theory on life was that life was beautiful. Life didn't change. We had a day, a night, a month & a year. We, people changed. We could be miserable or we could be happy. It was what we made of our life. Once upon a time, I was his hostage but now my world revolved around him. Some how laksh's advice helped me a lot in taking care of sanskar. However he was very stubborn. I had to repeat my words many times in front of him. Otherwise he wouldn't listen to me.

I, purposefully scolded him to emphasize my words. Always he denied to me, only to finally accept it like a good boy! Yes good boy! He was no longer behaving like a slayer.In these fifteen days of staying with him, I was convinced that he wasn't at all devil from heart. A small child still resided in his cold heart. He didn't talk much but his silence conveyed his inner feelings.

Many nights, I heard some words like 'killing', 'mom' & 'child' from his mouth. Though I didn't understand about it, still I could feel the pain through which he was going on. Once he would be recovered fully, I would definitely share his sorrow to reduce the pain from his heart.

Right now! I was returning to home after doing lots of shopping for Sanskar. He didn't have a decent cloth to wear & also his mobile phone was lost at that deadly night. So, I purchased all the essentials for him. As soon as I reached home, I saw him roaming inside the house. I yelled,"Sanskar! Sit quietly. Why are you wandering? What if you will fall down? At least do these childish activities when I am present at home..." In a pout face, he said,"I am fine swara.. I am absolutely alright.." Cutting his words, I said,"Sanskar! Do you think yourself as a superman? It is barely 15 days from your accident.." In a stubborn tone, he said,"I hate to sit sluggishly inside a home.." To make him jolly, I said,"OK! Once you will recover fully, we will go outside to view the nature. Now check the essentials I have purchased for you & till then, I am making oats for us."

I freshened up myself & prepared oats for us. The focal point of my life was sanskar now. I felt bliss after taking care of him. Still I didn't know the cause behind this happiness. Might be nobody ever cared about me the way I was caring for him. Life was beautiful & I just noticed it now.

Sanskar's POV:
Time never waited for anything. Already 15 days had passed after that deadly night. Due to swara's immense care, I could now walk inside the home. Still she was too adamant not to allow me to do even my basic works. She was my everything now. She performed all the activities of cook, nurse, guardian & doctor. I felt like nurtured under her care. 'There was a mother in every lady', I thought this many times when I saw her concern towards me.

I wanted my speedy recovery as after that I would leave this place for her safety. Her care was making me weak in front of her. Even if I tried to avoid her gaze, but every now & then I fell for her & constantly glared at her unintentionally. Though every time I avoided her still sometimes I just wished her presence near me so I could tell her how much I needed her & how hard everyday had been without her..

Today, she had purchased many clothes for me as from 15 days I was wearing those bloodstain clothes. She had also given me a brand new mobile to communicate with her when she was outside. She again scolded me for my movement & now she was making oats for us. I sat quietly on sofa & switched on the TV.

While changing the channels, I stopped at a news channel as the death news of Alex & Martin were flashing on it. As per the news report, 2 dead bodies along with dangerous weapons were retrieved from that location. But police had found out 3 blood samples from that place. That 3rd blood sample didn't match with any criminal records. Genuine enough!! How could it match?? As that was my bloodstain & police had never caught me.

Fortunately police wasn't much interested in investigating the case & declared all of us as terrorists & presumably announced all of us as dead. Good for me!! That ruthless slayer was dead now. I was only Sanskar..Sanskar, as a human with human emotions & desires....

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (A New Beginning) Episode 10 Season 2

Sanskar's POV:
Tonight was definitely an eye opener, but a reminder of how I used to be & why. Self discovery happened at such random times.. An invincible slayer was lying on the bed in a heavily injured state. I felt someone's hand on my chest. The room was filled with all the medical instruments. A girl was lying besides me. The lustrous curls were resting on her temple & as soon as I looked at her, I recognized her as Swara.

How could I forget her, for whom I tried to be a human again. What an irony!, the fate was playing with me!! Once upon a time, she was my hostage but now she was the cause to live my life & my saviour as well. At once, she heard my voice, she woke up & stared at me like she got some hidden treasure.

Certainly time worked like wonder. I tried to see a glimpse of her from past few months but she wasn't present here. But now, she was my saviour & I could see her intensely before leaving this place. Ya! I had to leave this place now as if my captain would come to know about my survival then swara would also come in the purview of danger & when the matter would come to her, I couldn't take any risk.

But she scolded me for my movement and ordered me to lie down on bed. Ordering a slayer!! It sounded funny! But honestly, I felt good. She was no longer afraid of me, it seemed & I admired her guts as the way she told that she was no longer my hostage; as if she was trying to say that now I was her hostage & therefore I had to obey her commands. But her objurgation was appealing to my eardrums.

As after many years, I found care in someone's eyes for me. However was I a worthy creature to be cared for? I was a slayer & my past would definitely haunt me. But now the truth which was haunting me was, where was I? & how was I saved? She narrated me all the incidents. It meant she hadn't informed the police but what if that another doctor would inform the police, then both of us would be in danger.

I wasn't at all worried for me as I had already lived my life, repented for my mistakes & even tried to correct those wrong doings. What more could I expect from my life?? But her life was just beginning. I would try my best to protect her from all the dangers. So, again I tried to wake up & go out from this place before that another doctor might inform police about me. But I didn't have much strength left to move even an inch.. Over the top,she was so much meticulous about my health that she was scolding me like I had done a massive crime due to my movement.

Finally I gave up against her wishes & lay down on the bed as my body wasn't supporting my movement as well. She went away somewhere after ordering me not to move again. After 15 minutes, she entered in the room with some food plates. I denied to eat them but she didn't pay heed to my words. I objected her in a low tone & said,"I don't feel like eating." To my utter dismay, she said,"I am not requesting you to take the food, Sanskar. I am directing you to take it without any questions. These foods are nutritious & will give you strength & help you for your early recovery."

I was feeling a lot of pain. So, I couldn't move my organs properly. She quickly held me from my bare shoulder & supported me to rest my head on the pillow. She was too close to me that the warmth of the air present in between us had raised to an optimum level. I hesitantly parted myself away from her as might be she was feeling uneasiness due to this closeness.

She grabbed the plate & started feeding me. Objecting her, I said,"Swara! I can eat myself." While I was trying to snatch the food plate from her hand, she yelled,"Sanskar! Don't behave like a stubborn guy! Don't move or else your stitches will be opened. This is for your good only. The sooner you eat, the sooner will be your recovery."

Her behaviour made me remember about my treatment towards her in the dark cellular jail. A feeble smile approached on my face after knowing the sweet payback she was giving to me. While feeding me, she again said,"Sanskar! Hope you are clear about my instructions! Better lie down on the bed & the moment you will try to escape from this place, then mind you! You will see a furious side of swara in front of you."

I just smirked & replied,"Aren't you afraid of a slayer? Threatening me!!! Huh! Seems you have lost your memory." She just smiled and bent my head to sip the glassful water & said," I am no longer your hostage sanskar! However you are my captive now! So, logically you will be afraid of me.." While she was giving me medicines, I asked,"So swara! Is this a revenge of my kidnapping you?" She just smiled & nodded her head & said,"Take rest Sanskar." & finally she left the room. 'Smart, courageous & intelligent girl!', how many shades did you possess swara?, I thought and drifted off quickly due to the high dose medicines.

Swara's POV:
Sanskar was fine now and I was debt free. Once he had saved me and now I got an opportunity to save him but was that all what I felt for him? Why did I feel immense bliss while taking care of him? I didn't try to explore the answers but I used to feed him as he wasn't at all comfortable in moving his locomotor organs. Though he was reluctant to take my help, but I insisted & scolded him to obey me or else the repercussion could be dangerous! Though I was kidding & exhibiting a false threatening, still he finally mended his ways towards my commands.

I gave him medicines & he had slept now. Sleeping was far away from my sight. I made coffee & while gulping it, I switched on the TV. However in every 15 minutes, I checked him to make sure he was sleeping or awake or needed anything. Around 4AM at night, while I was watching TV, I heard a noise from sanskar's room. I rushed to the room.

Stubborn guy! He never listened to me. I yelled,"Sanskar! What are you doing on the floor?" Making a pout face, he indicated towards the table & said,"Water!" I quickly placed his one arm over my shoulder & supported him by his waist & lifted him to the bed.

Every time I touched him, our closeness sparked echo of waves in my soul & light reflection in my heart. The power of his touch & serenity of his stride calmed down the undulating beats of my heart & graced me with eternal peace of mind. Breaking my thoughts, he again said in a lower tone,"I want water." I scolded him & while filling the glass, I said,"Why don't you listen to anybody? Why are you so stubborn? You don't take care of youself. At least let me do that for you. If you need anything at least call me."

I supported him to drink water & while drinking, he said,"I am not used to take anybody's help. Please don't ruin my lifestyle by taking so much care." He was impossible & treating him was genuinely difficult for anybody. Why was he so stubborn?, I thought. I took the glass from his hand & said,"Sanskar! You have saved my life earlier and now I am doing the same. Take it as a payback, not as help.. Then at least you will able to listen to me.."

He was looking at me continuously like I had said something wrong or else he had seen a ghost. Averting his gaze, I said,"Now sleep peacefully. My friend who has treated you will come to check you tomorrow." I could see change in his reactions & he said adamantly,"No, I am fine now. I don't want any check up. You listen to me swara! If any doctor will come, then I will escape for sure." I tried to convince him but as if he cared.

I said,"Sanskar! Please try to understand, I am not a doctor. Please agree for once." But seemed like he was too determined and nothing in this world could change his stance. I had no other ways left only to agree with his words or else he might try to escape which in my worst nightmare I didn't want. I said,"OK sanskar! Till you are fine, that doctor won't come. But for that you have to agree with my directions." He nodded & I covered him with bed sheet and wished him good night.

While I was moving out, he held my hands & said,"Can you please stay here for sometimes?" In a worried tone, I asked,"Are you alright? Do you want anything?" He just nodded & said,"Just stay besides me, please. I don't want anything else." I agreed and massaged his temple gently & patted his head to make him fell asleep.

I was about to leave him but might be due to impact of medicines, he babbled,"Mom has left me. Please you don't leave me, Swara!! Stay with me.." I couldn't move an inch further after hearing his words. A ruthless slayer had suppressed a lot of innumerable emotions inside his heart, I thought..

If I looked upon my whole life, I couldn't think of another time when I felt more comfortable, when I had no worries, fears or desires, when my life seemed as soft and lovely as lying inside a cocoon of rose silk. I grabbed his hands tightly in an assurance to never let him go & sat there by gazing his innocent sleepy look.

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (Revival) Episode 9 Season 2

Laksh's POV:
Sometimes the future could be changed quickly & completely & we were left with only the choice of what to do next. We could choose to be afraid of it, to stand there trembling not moving, assuming the worst that could happen or we stepped forward into the unknown & assumed it would be brilliant. Wasn't my condition perfectly resembled with this?

When swara was apprehensive about the surgery, I gave her strength to face the unknown danger & then we could save him. While performing the surgery, my hands were shivering. Though as a doctor, this wasn't my first surgery but indeed it was a first surgery of a near & dear one. Always in our medical science, it was taught that a good surgeon operated with his hand, not with his heart.

Saying was much easier than doing. I had realised this statement today while operating Sanskar. Rules & regulations stopped performing their actions while the closed ones were suffering in pain. However swara didn't ask me regarding the trembling of my hands & I escaped from giving lame excuses.

As far as possible, I tried to remain calm & carefree about the patient, sanskar in front of swara. But as a smarty girl, she definitely raised her doubt regarding my change of behaviour about this case & fortunately I was able to convince her in the name of humanity. She thanked me for helping her but innocent girl! didn't know regarding this patient's position in my life. I just couldn't let him die...

I asked swara about the patient, sanskar. As according to her, I was ignorant about the patient & as a doctor I needed to have a basic information about the patient whom I treated. Though I knew that sanskar was her abductor still I gave a shocking expression, so as not to raise her doubts again. She didn't want to share much about sanskar with me & I didn't ask her much as I knew the series of events happened during her kidnapping. I told her to take rest but she denied.. After so much persuasion, she accepted to take some rest..

Today I saw the beginning of an epic love saga. The same anguish, pain and suffering; I saw for her in Sanskar's eyes when she was in miserable condition in that dark world. And the same history was repeating now though the position of swara & sanskar had changed. However ironically!! My position was same in both the conditions, like a butterfly who attracted by sweet nectar & helped to pollinate seeds to blossom the petals of the flowers... To flourish the meadows of love between these two petals, I didn't mind to become a butterfly again & again.

I entered the room where sanskar was lying.. I checked his heartbeats were becoming normal. I put the gun on the drawer as I knew that his past would definitely haunt him & for his safety, he would definitely require this gun. That night was passing gradually with lots of unexpected turns but I was clear about one thing,'Love cures people both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it..' & this love would evade all the darkness from sanskar's life. It would give him all the strength to fight with obscurity. I prayed for his long life & speedy recovery.

When I was busy with these thoughts, my phone buzzed. It was a call from the hospital. Reports of swara & shomi had already come & for collecting these reports, I got the call from hospital. Though I never wanted to leave sanskar alone but as these very works of swara and shomi were also given by him, so I decided to rush to hospital to examine the reports.. As far as sanskar's health condition was concerned, his heartbeats were functioning normal & sanskar was coming out of danger.

I went towards swara's room to wake up her. But she was sleeping peacefully. She must had so tired from these happenings that she needed a much required sleep... So I affixed a note about my departure from her home due to some medical issues on the door & left her house.

Swara's POV:
When I opened my eyes, it was morning & I had slept by holding that jacket. I rushed towards sanskar's room to check him. His heartbeats were normal but still he was lying unconscious. I called out laksh's name but got no response. I searched for laksh but he was found nowhere. I was going to dial his number but at once my sight fell upon the note affixed by laksh.

Quickly I disconnected the call after reading that note as I didn't want to disturb him. I freshened up myself and sat near sanskar. He was no longer looking like a slayer. His face was looking pale due to much blood loss. 'Who are you, Sanskar? Why have you chosen this darkness after having humanity still intact in your soul? Who are responsible for this condition of yours? Am I the cause for this, Sanskar?', there were so many untold questions were popping up in my mind but I couldn't ask them to anyone.

I massaged his head gently & said,"Wake up sanskar. You have slept a lot. Your silence is killing me. Please speak something.." The day was passing like this. At evening, I was busy in kitchen for making coffee, when I heard screaming from sanskar's room. I was scared like hell & rushed to check him.

'Please leave her dad. Don't kill mom. She loves you. I can't kill him captain. He is just a child.', this was all what sanskar was yelling again & again. His pulse rates & heartbeats were increasing which was deadly for his health. I was confused to see this sight. I grabbed his hands & rubbed it gently & said,"Calm down, sanskar. You don't need to kill anyone. You are a good human being & your mother is proud of you." Might be his subconscious mind heard my words & these words made their effects. Gradually his heartbeats were normal again. I kept my hand on his chest & stayed there only. I didn't know how many hours had passed!

"Swara", I heard my name & woke up. I checked the time & it was midnight. Sanskar was gazing at me with questionable eyes. Finally the long struggle of one day paid off. I was looking at him continuously to make myself realise that indeed he was fine & gained his consciousness. He tried to wake up & just then I realised that my hands were still placed on his chest. Hesitantly, I pulled back my hands & said,"What are you doing? Don't move. Your stitches are new. It may be opened up due to your movement." I gently rested his head on the pillow & that time he was noticing his body & the entire surroundings.

I could understand his curiosity to know about this place, so I said,"It's my house, sanskar. You have already come here earlier. You are safe here." But he behaved stubbornly & again tried to move. So, I commanded him,"Don't move. Lie down back. Now!! I am no longer your hostage rather your doctor.." He was totally surprised with my behaviour & did as per my command. With much pain, he asked slowly,"Doctor? Are you a doctor? And what about all these instruments!! Is this truly your home? Have you informed anyone?"

I just giggled at his questions & said,"No.. not a doctor basically as I haven't completed my medical yet. But yes! This is my first surgery & truly it is my home. I have arranged all the instruments here. As you are beaten badly & shot as well, so I haven't taken you to the hospital as it is a police case & your treatment can be delayed by that. So, I have treated you here with the help of a friend of mine, who is actually a doctor.."

His face was exhibiting a mixture of reactions & he said,"Another doctor?? Will he inform to police?? I need to go from here before police will come to know about this place." I grabbed his shoulder & said,"Dare to move again!! Lie down & don't worry.. He won't inform anyone about you as he is also a doctor & saving a patient is his 1st duty." However sanskar wasn't convinced with my answers & was staring at me. I ignored his gaze as saving him was my first priority. I instructed him to lie down quietly & went to kitchen to make soup for him...

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (A Choice) Episode 8 Season 2

Laksh's POV:
After ages, I heard swara's voice. She seemed worried. She wanted my help to save a patient. Sanskar had always told me about her courage. Today I had also admitted the fact of her being a courageous girl!! Otherwise who wanted to treat a patient where police angle was involved by threatening their career. But ya! She was different. Otherwise it wasn't easy to blossom the nascent odour of humanity from an invincible slayer. Initially I hesitated to treat the patient but I agreed due to our sake of friendship. But more I was agreed for Sanskar. As she wasn't a mere friend of mine rather a life of Sanskar, who had always stood by me in my thicks & thins. How could I deny his love then?? I got the address where I had to make all the necessary arrangements. I dialed sanskar's number to tell him about this incident but every time it was indicating an error signal of out of reach.

Might be sanskar had gone for solving any assignment, so the phone wasn't reachable, I thought. I concentrated on swara's work, as I could even tell this to sanskar after completion of the work. I made all the arrangements & now was travelling towards the address sent by swara. As soon as I reached there, I perceived a bird's eye view to the surroundings. This place was a bit away from the main dwellings. The calmness & serenity of this place could make anybody nostalgic. When I was exploring the beauty of this place, my phone buzzed. I thought that it must be swara but when I saw the caller ID, I came to know that the call was from a member of our gang from our dark world.

I picked up the call & what message he conveyed to me, had changed the situation upside down. I just scolded him for his lie. But again & again he was emphasizing the same talks. Before I could rebuke him, he yelled,"Laksh, it's up to you to believe me or not! But the fact can't be changed. Captain has already written Sanskar's name in his death book due to his betrayal.." I just couldn't control my rage & shouted,"Do you know about whom you are talking? He is the best slayer & respects captain. The question of betrayal must be an accusation only. Do you have any proofs to justify this fact?" He nodded negatively of having any proofs but convinced me about the authentication of this news. I couldn't take these nonsense talks anymore & disconnected the call.

Though I knew that this news couldn't be true but still I couldn't ignore this news. What if he was telling the truth but how could it be possible? My mind was jammed with many evil thoughts. I tried to contact Sanskar again & again. But everytime his call was out of reach. With each passing second, my mind was agitated. I was just going to start my car in search of sanskar, just then Swara's car reached there. After hearing about Sanskar's incident, for sometimes I was totally forgotten about swara & my purpose of coming here.

Now I was in perplexity. What should I do now? Would I go in search of Sanskar or else would I help swara to treat an unknown patient? As a friend, I should leave this place immediately for the search of Sanskar but as a doctor, my primary duty was to cure a person. This was a very critical situation for me. I had to make a choice. But this choice wasn't going to be easy one. We, human beings were free to make whatever choices we wanted, but we weren't free from the consequences of the choices. Which ever option I might choose, but still I would remain at the receiving end.

Breaking my thoughts, swara shouted,"Laksh! Please help me to take him out of the car."
I was so confused at that time that my mind had stopped from functioning & I just acted like a robot of swara's commands. As soon as I reached in front of swara's car, I saw that swara was struggling to take out that patient. I just asked her to let me do this work. She gave me free access to take out the patient. I bent my head & entered to the backside of the car. I froze at that moment when I saw the face of the patient. With intense anguish, I called," Saaannskar...." I was motionless. Just then I heard swara's voice. She was saying,"What are you doing inside the car, laksh? Take him out. We need to treat him urgently." Her words made me to come into the present situation. Thankfully she hadn't heard my calling of sanskar's name as she was standing some distances away from the car. I calmed down myself. I tried to remain placid & peaceful. So that swara couldn't detect my connection with him. Without wasting anytime, I took out sanskar & went inside her house.

Swara's POV:
As soon as I reached near my secret place, Laksh had already arrived there. He seemed absentminded. But I didn't concentrate much upon laksh as my prime focus was to save sanskar now. With in 1 hour all the arrangements were done. ECG machine, oxygen mask, life support system along with all the necessary equipments were organised perfectly in my room. What money couldn't do! For the first time in my life, I was happy for my richness. At least this money was useful to save somebody's life. Somebody ... Oops!! But why was I feeling something more for him?? I didn't know exactly what he meant for me but yes! His safety could blossom happiness in my face. Might be because if I would have been successful to save him then I would be got rid of the burden of his earlier favour to save my life as well.

Meanwhile Laksh put his hand on my shoulder & said,"swara! Let's begin the surgery.." My heart and brain were running fast as I wasn't a doctor & even I wasn't a mere intern as well. Still I was going to perform my first surgery under the guidance of laksh. Laksh was my only hope for this situation. With a painful tone, I asked," Laksh, can we perform this surgery positively?" Laksh in a very flat but determined tone replied,"Swara! We are definitely going to save him.. I won't let anything happen to him. He will be fine..." For some seconds, I looked at laksh in a surprising sight as he was the person who was earlier apprehensive about sanskar's condition & tried to avoid it in the name of police case but now I could feel the change in his body language. Might be the profession of being a doctor changed his sentiments, I thought.

My hands were trembling and shivering like hell when I was trying to remove the bullets. But to my surprise, laksh's hands were also shaking. He was a doctor & must had already performed many surgeries. Still his hands were trembling!! But my thoughts were diverted when Laksh was successful in removing the bullets from his body. After a long struggle of 3 hours, finally all the bullets were taken out & luckily the blood flow was stopped. Laksh had made the bandages perfectly in the fractured parts. But still sanskar wasn't out of danger as his heartbeats weren't normal. Laksh had kept sanskar under observation for 24 hours.

We came out of that room & I made coffee for us. While offering coffee to laksh, he said,"Swara! We need X-ray machine to examine the intensity of fractures of his bones.. I will arrange that as well." In a shocking tone, I said,"Laksh! Don't you want to shift him to the hospital as earlier you have emphasized on this only." Laksh just took the cup of coffee from my hand & while showing his back to me, he said," Swara! While operating him, I have seen guns in his pocket. Indeed this is a police case and if police will be involved then this patient can't be treated early. After all, saving a life is our first priority. So, after knowing the intensity of this case, I have agreed to your decision."

Unable to control my overflowing emotions, I hugged laksh & said,"Thanks for everything. You have threatened your career for me.." At once laksh murmured something which I couldn't hear. Changing the topic, laksh asked,"Do you know him, swara?" Now my mind was blogged. Honestly I didn't know its answer. Did I know sanskar? Apart from being my abductor, what had I known about him, I thought. Still why did I feel helpless in front of sanskar today? Why did I desperately want to save him? Laksh's single question created another set of innumerable question banks in front of me.

Breaking my thoughts, laksh said,"Swara! Have I asked anything wrong? If you don't feel like telling then it's OK for me." However laksh had tried to save sanskar's life. So, he had the right to know about the patient, I thought. I lowered my gaze & said,"He is sanskar, my abductor.." In a surprised tone, laksh asked,"swara! When have you kidnapped? And now you are dying to save your kidnapper... Why swara??" Without making any eye contact with him, I said,"I have kidnapped from your birthday party and ya! Once he has saved my life. So, it's just a payback & please don't ask me further questions, laksh."

Fortunately laksh agreed & didn't ask me any more questions on this topic. But he said,"swara! Now you take rest. I am here with sanskar.." Firstly I denied to laksh but after his so much persuasion, I agreed to him as indeed I needed rest. Till now I hadn't even changed my bloodstain clothes. So, I left sanskar with laksh & went to another room to take a short nap.

I took out my tracksuit from the shelves & just then my eyes fell upon sanskar's jacket. That jacket always gave me strength & courage to fight with difficult situations. I changed my cloths & grabbed that jacket & placed it close to my heart & thought,"I won't let anything happen to you, sanskar. You have taught me to lead my life in a positive way. I refrained from taking alcohol due to you. It's my second life which is gifted by you only. Now it's my responsibility to cure you & to take you out from that darkness...."

Swasan ff: An Incomplete Scrapbook (An Unusual Meet) Episode 7 Season 2

Swara's POV:
After successful project submission, I returned from Tuticorin. As my summer breaks were going on, I had decided to go for a long ride in night for a peace of mind. Night,the beloved fostered ray! When words faded & things came alive; when the destructive analysis of day was done & all that was truly important became whole & sound again; when the lovely stars blossomed in the infinite meadows of heaven, it was night. When a person reassembled its fragmentary self and its living spark had the ability of healing the dark, it was night.

I searched for the CDs of Michael Learns to Rocks as it was my favourite rock band. Night with melodious music created a shooting sensation in body. After a struggle of 5 minutes, I found the CD in the dashboard & put it in the music system.

"In my search for freedom
And peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
But it seems to be rather absurd
When I know the truth
Is that I always think of you."

As soon as I heard these lines, I thought as if this song was designed for me only. I always wanted to run away from life. I indulged in toxicants to forget my pain. But all these things had happened until I met him, my kidnapper. After my escaping from that dark world, I left for Tuticorin to complete my project in a peaceful atmosphere. But whenever I went back to my memory lane, it was only him, whom I admired the most. In all my busy schedules, I tried to move on but in the calmness of nostalgia, his thoughts always haunted me.

"Someday someway
Together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate
Cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock."

I just smiled after hearing this paragraph. We couldn't meet as we weren't destined to remain together. Whatever time might had passed, still we both were poles apart, like earth was on the opposite lane of heaven. I closed my eyes to digest this fact. Just then I sensed something collied with my car. Before I could roll over it, I opened my eyes & stopped the car quickly. I froze for a second after viewing the sight present in front of me. 'How can I be so careless? I just hit a person. What if he has died?' I panicked for a second but my profession taught me to handle these situations with tranquility.

I came out of the car & proceeded towards the person. His body was lying on the road & blood was rushing out of it. His backside was facing towards me. I reached on that spot & as soon as I rotated the body, I became motionless after seeing his face. He was none other than Sanskar, my abductor. Look at the irony of fate! What mockery it was playing with me. A few minutes before, I totally ignored about our further meetings but who had known that we would meet suddenly, even that to in this way...!!

He was lying lifeless in front of me. The oozing out of blood wasn't taking the name of stopping down. Self control, that was exactly what I had learnt from my academics of medical study. We all medical students were groomed in such a way that the patient was only a person whom we needed to cure.. We shouldn't feel the pain of the patient. However all the rules & regulations came to an end after seeing him in this vulnerable state.. So many thoughts were popping up in my head. 'Am I the reason for his vulnerable state? What if he is facing this condition due to my escaping?' I felt repentance.. At once I took his head on my lap & he saw me with his big eyes before passing out.

I screamed,"sanskar, get up." I patted his back but no answer was coming out of his mouth. The thought of loosing him, made me frightened. At once, I checked his pulse rate & thankfully it hadn't stopped. The road was engulfed with darkness & nobody was present there to help us. I checked him minutely from head to toe. He was beaten badly & even shot at many places. He needed urgent medical attention.. I had to admit him in the hospital.

Just then, my heart stopped me to admit him in the hospital. As a medical student of final year, I was aware about these situations & their outcomes. This entire incident seemed like a police case and after registration of the case only, the doctors could treat him. But if he hadn't given immediate medical care then saving him would be nearly impossible. 'How can I save him now?' This was the biggest challenging question of my life now. But somewhere inside the corner of my heart, a voice was echoing that no matter what ever unlucky circumstances might cross my path,but I couldn't let him die. He was my saviour. I got a second chance to live my life because of him... I couldn't let him extinguish his life.. But how? How could I save him?

I opened my mobile to call Ragini. But would she able to understand my situation? She would ask me thousands of questions. 'No',calling Ragini wouldn't solve my problem, my mind responded. While scrolling down the contact list, my eyes fell upon Laksh's number. I got the solution to this problem. Laksh was a doctor now & he could definitely try to save him & he was the only answer for this current problem..

Without any second thoughts, I dialed Laksh's number. As soon as he picked up the call, I said,"Laksh! This is swara.. I need your help urgently..." Laksh said from other side,"Swara! What a pleasant surprise! When have you returned from Tuticorin? And why have you changed your number?" Cutting his words, I said ," Laksh, I don't have enough time for these talks. I need your help to save a patient.." Laksh could sense my anxiousness & said,"Don't worry, Swara! Bring him to the hospital & I am reaching there in 20 minutes." I couldn't describe the whole situation to him now, so I just said,"Laksh! I can't admit him to the hospital. But please don't ask me why? However the patient needs immediate medical care. He is beaten badly and blood losses are uncontrollable from his abdomen & legs.. He has sustained many injuries and fractures."

Before I could say anything further, Laksh shouted,"Swara! This is a police case, and what are you doing with that patient?" I just pled laksh not to ask any more questions & said,"Laksh, please don't deny. Please help me to save this patient for the sake of our friendship." Laksh took a deep breath & asked,"What can I do for you, Swara?" I just suggested,"Laksh! I want all those medical instruments at my place. I hope you understand. Arrange all those equipments in half an hour from your hospital and yes! Address.. I am forwarding to you.."

Before cutting the call, laksh just warned me,"Swara! We are taking a big risk by risking our careers..." But I convinced him by saying,"Nothing is more precious than saving a patient & this is the first oath we have taken while joining this course.." Laksh was baffled with my answer as he knew that I was telling truth only. After cutting the call, I forwarded him the address of my secret place as that was the only place where sanskar would remain safe & out of anyone's reach. I completed the primary dressing of sanskar's wounds just as to safeguard him till my reaching to my secret place.. I covered his wounds with bandages present inside my car to control the further blood loss though it wouldn't help much.

With much difficulty, I dragged him towards my car & placed him in the back seat. I started the car & drove at a speed of 100km/hr to reach at my place as soon as possible. I was driving with high speed and also shocked at the travesty of destiny. The assassin was now on the verge of assassination and lying on the pool of bloodstains.. This was destiny and its foul plays were no longer ignorant to me.....

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (Unexpected Turns) Episode 6 Season 2

Sanskar's POV:
'You killed the innocent life, Sanskar.. I was so wrong.. You could never change..'
**********
Swara, at least listen to me.
**********
'Oh! You had also justification for killing a child.'
**********
But Swara, I couldn't denounce my captain's orders..
**********
'I thought of you as a nice person with humanity still intact in your soul. But I was so wrong, Sanskar.. You were just a mere puppet who only understood the meaning of killing..'
**********
Swara!! I just kept numb as I didn't get any reasons to prove her sayings wrong.
**********
'I didn't want to see your face Sanskar. I was regretting the moment when I came to know about you.'
**********
She was walking in the carpet of darkness by ignoring my voice. My heart was filled with warmth of her voice. Finally I lost her.
**********
'No.... Swara.... Stop.... Please..' And I woke up. I was panting heavily. The word 'Scare' wasn't in my dictionary. But truly this dream was enough to frighten a ruthless slayer, Sanskar Maheswari. 'Dream' was a 'Lie'. Truth was far away from it. I smiled feebly as all these talks weren't real & she didn't regret by knowing me. Just then another thought struck in my mind. I had to take a decision. Not to convert this dream into a reality, I had to neglect my captain's orders. Though captain was important to me, but I couldn't bear hatred in her eyes for me.

I called captain to express my inability to finish my next target. I dialed his number & as soon as he picked up, I said,"Captain... I am sorry.." From the other side, he asked,"Why are you asking for forgiveness? And have you convinced your target to sell his land to us?" I was panicking as how I could vent out my decision to captain & how would he react? In a very lower tone, I said,"Sorry captain.. He isn't interested to sell his land as it is his ancestral property and many memories are associated to him from that land.. What ever money we may give to him, still he won't sell the land, I suppose.." Now I could hear the laughter of captain & he said," Sanskar! You are behaving like an ordinary man. Don't forget, you are a slayer & if he isn't agreeing with our terms, then you know many ways to convince him. Do you think, this matter needs discussion?"

My captain wasn't getting my words.. I thought not to tell him anything now but suddenly, the face of swara & my mom flashed back in my memory lane & once my mom had said," Do it now.. As sometimes later becomes never.." Now I had got a chance & I couldn't let it go... After gathering much courage, I said in one go,"I can't perform this task, captain. I can't kill an innocent child. What is his fault if his father doesn't want to sell his property??" My captain said in a shocking tone," Are you in sense? You are rejecting my orders.. Don't forget, I am your creator, Sanskar & from when are you concerning for other's feelings?" I wasn't at all surprised by captain's sayings. As he was correct. I didn't look like a slayer now rather I was behaving like a sensible person. And it was all because of a target,Swara Suryavansi. Breaking my thoughts, my captain commanded,"I want this work to be completed in 2 days.. No more excuses, Sanskar..." Before I could say anything, the call was disconnected.

I was in dilemma. How could I avert this situation now? I thought of many ideas.. But not a single idea was convincing or appealing to me. One day was passed like this. Today was the last day to complete this task. Still I was scouring ideas & struck in chaos. Once my mom had said to me,"When the devil became one with the angel, humanity was born." Today I was realising the trueness of her saying. Swara, was indeed the cause of my growing humanity. Like the volcanic magma after rushing out of mantle determined its own path to settle as lava sheet & never obeyed anybody's authority, likewise now I had already challenged captain's orders & searching for my own path towards humanity. After so much calculations I reached to a conclusion.

I didn't know how much success it would bring to me but this was the last viable option for me.. I wore my mask & rushed towards this target's location. They were scared after looking at me. But I assured not to harm them & intact I was here to help them. I executed my plan. I transferred him along with his family to a safest place where nobody could find them easily and I could handle captain in my terms. Before leaving them, they blessed me for my long life. It sounded funny to me, as for a slayer every moment was deadly. Without replying back, I vacated the place & now I was coming back towards my dark world.

While travelling, I called captain and as soon as he picked up the call, I said,"Captain, they have escaped. I have gone to kill his son. But unfortunately, I have found the door locked." I lied to captain as I knew that if captain ever came to know that I was the person who helped his targets to reach to a safe place then captain wouldn't spare me & by lying, I could easily escape from killing his son. However unfortunately what I heard from captain, changed my life upside down.

With rage, captain yelled," You... Betrayer.. You have double crossed me.. You have helped this target & now you are lying that they have escaped. I am your creator, Sanskar. Where your thinking ends, mine starts. You have helped them na... But who will help you now?? There is no place of a betrayer in our world.. Run Sanskar.. Run for your life..."

My voice was choked. How could I even think to override captain's thinkings? Breaking my silence, captain yelled in his icy cold voice," You must be thinking, how I have come to know about it? I will tell you as last wish of every person shall be fulfilled. Then listen my slayer! The day you have reacted surprisingly after listening to the world 'killing', my doubt is developed. There is something which you are hiding from me, I have guessed. So, from 2 days Alex and Martin are observing all your moves secretly. You are my best slayer and perhaps may be the leader of this dark world after me, but seems like you have chosen your path to death. I am sorry to lose my best slayer but I can't spare a betrayer...." Before I could say anything, the call was disconnected.

In the night of prevailing darkness, I heard the firing of bullets & before I could guess anything, the tyre of my car burst. Hurriedly I came out of car & started running. I saw a car was following me. Till now, I understood that they were none other than Alex and Martin, who were trying to kill me. I opened my revolver & fired towards their car & punctured the tyre of the car & broke the glass door. As these happenings were going on far away from public dwellings, I was certain that today nobody could save me.

I was running aimlessly and the road seemed no end like in the open stretch of desert land, the sand dunes spread like anything & engulfed the existence of every creature within it, like wise Alex & Martin were following me like hell to extinguish my existence. I wanted to view a last glimpse of her before my death. I didn't have any cause left to live my life. Finally before dying, I could make eye contact with my mother proudly. It was all because of swara.

While I was in my own thoughts, a bullet pierced through my leg. I screamed in pain but I couldn't loose hope. As a best slayer, I randomly fired the bullet & Martin fell down. Just then, Alex fired all the 6 bullets towards me. 4 missed the target but 2 bullet hit me. Excruciating pain was spreading through out my body & I couldn't run any longer. Alex came running towards me and it seemed like his magazine was empty just like mine. He kicked me hard and I fell near a stone's throw away. Alex was smirking evilly like he had completed his revenge by killing me. But he didn't know that I carried one more gun with me for my double safety.

I wasn't called as a best slayer randomly.. Before Alex could reload his revolver, I picked up the gun from my right shoe and fired straight to his heart. 1 bullet was enough for him. He fell down on spot. Time was countable of my death. A last glimpse of swara was enough for my peaceful death. With much difficulty, I tried to walk towards her secret place. I didn't know how much time it would take.. I felt dizzy still I was limbing.

Just then a car hit me. Even a little strength wasn't left inside my body to react. Just then I saw her, like an angel she took my head in her lap. I must be dreaming, but it felt like a sweet dream & I closed my eyes to behold this sight forever till eternity.....

Mother's Love (One Shot)

A massive castle was fully lightened. The chandelier ceiling was hanging in the middle of the room. Men of various age groups were sitting on decorated mats. Some of them were even chewing tobacco. All the men had seated in a circular form & just then a lady in her mid 40's came to the center. From the back,someone shouted,"Shomi, show your dance moves...." Shomi, a lady, who was fully covered with ornaments & heavy saree was looking like a diva. She started dancing with the beat of the classical music. In some intervals, guys were passing nasty comments to her. Someone was saying,"Oh! What a figure... She still looks young.. May be one day I can get her on bed." Cutting his voice, some other man was yelling,"She is very decent.. Till now she doesn't entertain any customer privately." Some other men were laughing after listening to these talks & within them,a man had challenged,"one day she will accept my proposal & she will entertain me for money." These insane talks were going on & that lady couldn't escape from the luring eyes of these men as if they were hungry lions of 10 years & she was a food for them.. Still the dancing was going on & money was spread on floors. After the music was stopped, shomi bowed down before everyone & just then a girl in her 20's came running towards shomi & said,"mummy! How is this painting?" Shomi tried to hide her from those men present near her & said,"Beta! Go inside.. Mumma will come..." All the flesh eating eyes were now transferred towards the girl instead of Shomi.. Shomi just excused herself & went inside.. The girl also followed her..

As soon as both of them reached to another room, Shomi shouted,"Swara! How many times will I warn you against coming outside?" Swara's eyes were filled with tears & she was stammering,"Mumma! Today is mother's day... I have made this painting for you. In excitement, I have forgotten your advice." Shomi was stunned by Swara's gratitude and innocent love and she hugged swara instantly & wiped her tears and said,"Beta! I am sorry.. Mumma is scared for your life.. Please don't cry and show me the painting." Swara handed over the painting to Shomi & after looking at the painting, she started sobbing.... Just then a lady entered inside the room & shouted,"What is wrong with you,Shomi? How can you come out of the gathering like this??" Shomi sent swara to bring foods for her & said,"Sujata! You know na Swara has come in between. What can I do in that place." Sujata in a bit stricter tone said,"Shomi! You have to stop this nonsense things.. You have saved my life once so in return I have never made you a prostitute and always confined your activities in dancing. But you can't disobey our customers..." Shomi just nodded positively and suddenly Sujata said,"Have you thought anything regarding swara? I mean what will be her future?" Shomi could easily understood the meaning of sujata & said,"No Sujata! Swara can't be like me.. I am helpless earlier as my husband has sold me for money. But swara isn't alone. Her mother is with her." Sujata couldn't utter a word & complete silence was prevailing in the room. Just then swara had entered by taking a food plate in her hand and asked joyfully,"Mumma! Have you seen the painting? Is it good?" Shomi just hugged her tightly & said,"Who says that my daughter doesn't know painting? It's awesome..." Swara was very happy & the mother-daughter shared a cordial relationship.

Time was free but nevertheless it was priceless.. Nobody could own it, but only used it. Nobody could keep it,however only spent it.. Time moved slowly but passed quickly.." Their lives were passing in the same way & would be remained like same if one day a handsome boy wouldn't enter to their place. As soon as he entered, sujata asked him,"What are you doing here? What do you want? It seems like you have come first time to this place.." The boy replied,"Mam! I know about this place & I am aware about the activities going on this place. I am a research student & want to research upon these ladies & their lifestyles & why they have chosen this path?" Sujata just laughed and said,"OK! But do you have money? Nothing is free here.." The boy nodded positively and gave 5000 rupees to sujata. Sujata asked him to enter the name in the register & wait outside. Sujata roamed the entire building but found none was free.. All ladies were busy with their customers. Just then sujata's eyes fell upon swara & she came outside and asked the boy to come in & said,"Hey! All are busy but go to that corner room, you will find a girl there. You have only 3 hours to complete your research work." The boy nodded & proceeded towards the room...

In the room, swara was doing some sketches & her hairs were falling on her forehead which made her disturbed. The boy entered the room & said," Hi.." Swara was scared as she knew regarding the place and why guys came here. She moved backwards & while moving,she was about to fall by hitting with the desk, but fortunately on due time, the boy caught her & impressed by her beauty. Swara shouted loudly to leave her & ran from there. Just then, shomi entered after listening swara's loud cry & found a boy inside her room. Shomi yelled,"Who are you? What are you doing here? Why does swara shout?" The boy replied,"Oh! Actually don't take me wrong aunty. I haven't come here for doing any insane activity. I am a research student and have come here for my research work. I have no intention to touch the girl. It's just that she is going to fall so I have just held her." Shomi thanked him for his helpfulness and could see truthfulness in his eyes. Shomi asked,"What is your name?" The boy replied,"Sanskar." And then casually he asked shomi about the lifestyle of those ladies involved in prostitution. Shomi replied,"Nobody wants to choose this path but in someway all are helpless & dejected by the society." Tears rolled down from shomi's eyes. Sanskar wiped her tears with his handkerchief & said,"Aunty don't cry. If my mother would have been alive then she must be of your age. So, I can't see your crying." After many years, shomi found a person who was respecting her like a mother not like any cheap & creepy creature. She was impressed & overwhelmed with Sanskar.

Just then Swara entered the room & found her mother was gossiping nicely to the new boy. Shomi called swara & introduced her with Sanskar. Sanskar asked for swara's forgiveness to touch her unintentionally without her permission. Swara was spellbound with his attitude as never in her life somebody asked for her consent and opinion. Everybody looked at her with insane & dirty eyes. But Sanskar was definitely different. Swara shook her hands with sanskar and they became friends. Time passed.. Gradually Sanskar came very close to swara and they were connected emotionally. Shomi also treated sanskar like her own son. Everyday sanskar deposited 5000 rupees for 3 hours to meet shomi & swara. Earlier he used to come here for research purpose but in the later point of time, he came here to spend time with them. He was very fond of swara & respected Shomi a lot.

One fine day, sanskar came there with pale face which wasn't unnoticed by swara. Swara asked him,"What is the matter Sanskar?" He said in a sad tone,"Today is my birthday & nobody is there to wish me." Swara could see pain in his eyes & hugged him tightly to wish him. Sanskar said," I have never seen my mother. She has died just after giving birth to me. My father is a businessman but doesn't love me as he thinks that I am the cause of my mother's death." And he started crying like a baby. Swara wiped his tears & consoled him. Shomi was listening all these things from the corner of the room & said,"Don't cry beta!! We are with you. We will celebrate your birthday." Sanskar rushed towards Shomi & hugged her tightly & said,"Today I am missing my mother a lot. Can I call you mom?" Shomi first hesitated but sanskar convinced her,"Aunty you can call me beta then why can't I call you mumma?" Now shomi was speechless as she was already webbed by Sanskar's logic and allowed him to call her as mother.

That day shomi made a cake for him and while celebrating, sanskar asked shomi about her past. Shomi narrated,"My husband sold me here to get some money. Swara was born here only. She never saw her father & I protected her from all the evil eyes." Sanskar felt bad for swara & asked,"Can't you come out of this place? Will you stay here forever? Can't you leave this place?" Shomi lowered her gaze & said,"It's too late,sanskar. Sujata won't allow us to leave from here as she has purchased me..." Till now, swara was listening all these talks silently but suddenly she grabbed sanskar's hand & pled,"Please save my mom! Sanskar, I don't want her to dance here & face the luring eyes of people." Sanskar patted her back to calm down her. Just then swara ran towards the drawer & showed him some sketches. Sanskar asked,"What is this swara?" Swara said by showing the sketches to him,"I am facing essential tremor syndrome. I can never paint a good picture as a straight line also I can't draw.. Still to make my mother happy on mother's day, I have painted this. I know in no way this can be called as a picture but I just want to show you that I want my mother's happiness & you can only help us to get out of it." Shomi was trying to control her tears & sanskar vowed on that day to take them out of this castle.

Sanskar negotiated with sujata to free shomi & swara in exchange of money. But sujata demanded 10 lakhs in return. Sanskar was unable to pay this much huge amount & thought another ways to free them. Sujata could already sense Sanskar's intentions. So, she disallowed him to meet shomi & swara. Sujata also threatened shomi to kill swara if they tried to escape. Shomi accepted sujata's words as she didn't want to loose swara. Days passed like this...

One night, sanskar entered to that place through climbing the pipes & slowly woke up swara & shomi. Both of them were astonished at seeing him after so many days.. Sanskar slowly said,"It's time to go out from here..." Though Shomi was scared but sanskar successfully vacated swara out of that place through the window. But while climbing down, shomi's leg stuck in the pipe & she screamed in pain. By listening to the loud sound, sujata woke up and found all of them trying to run away. She called her goons to stop them. Sanskar fought with them vigorously but suddenly one man hit sanskar on his head. Blood was oozing out of his head. Still he tried to fight but felt dizzy. Swara in the mean time called police from sanskar's phone but police hadn't arrived yet. Sujata came there with revolver & said,"Shomi, I have told you not to run from here. But you are trying to run away with the help of this boy. First I will kill this boy then I will make your daughter's life hell." And she smiled evilly & shot pointing towards sanskar. Shomi in between pushed sanskar & bullet hit in shomi's belly. She fell down on the spot. Just then police arrived & handcuffed all the goons including sujata & took swara's statement & admitted shomi to hospital. Sanskar also stitched his wounds. Swara was in miserable condition & cried loudly by keeping her head in sanskar's chest. Sanskar tried his best to console her but all his attempts were going in vain. Just then doctor arrived & said,"We have successfully taken out bullet from her belly. But she is still under supervision and risk isn't totally gone." Swara was pleading the doctor to save her mom at any cost. Doctor nodded & said," The patient wants to meet you." They both rushed inside the room & saw shomi was lying in bed like a statue. She called them by giving some indication by hands. Swara & sanskar were sitting besides her.. In a very low tone, shomi said," Sanskar! I know my life is short. I may die at any moment. You are the perfect partner for swara. Accept her in your life." By saying so, she handed over swara's hand with sanskar.

Sanskar in deep pain said,"Nothing will happen to you. I have already lost my mother. I don't want to lose you. You will be with us forever." But shomi again asked sanskar to take care of swara & just then doctor told them to come out as patient needed rest. Swara was behaving like a lifeless statue & indifferent to all these things. Like she was feeling the ultimate pain for her mother. Sanskar tried a lot to make her speak or cry atleast but swara was speechless. After much time, swara said,"Sanskar! I can't draw straight lines. Please today also the ECG mayn't show straight lines" & she worshipped god to make the line wavy like the way she painted. The night passed with chaos & sleeping was away from their eyes..

Their worship paid off & the doctor declared shomi as safe in the morning. They took good care of shomi & shomi's health condition gradually improved. After shomi's recovery, sanskar proposed swara in the hospital in front of all. All the doctors & nurses congratulated them & they married. Sanskar's dad didn't accept this relation. So, sanskar left his home as his father never cared for him. Sanskar, swara & shomi lived happily.

Sanskar's research was published in newspaper. Due to his impressive work, the newspaper publication organised a felicitation ceremony for him. On the award receiving day, he touched the feet of shomi in front of all & took the award from her hand & said in stage," She is my mother. I have never seen the face of my biological mother but after meeting her, I have never felt the absence of a mother. I am alive because of her. All my credits go to her. When a child cries, she is worried but just after birth if the child doesn't cry then the person who is worried the most is called as mother. 'M'indful 'O'mnipotent 'T'ender 'H'uman being in 'E'ternal 'R'eality ... Put them all together & they spell MOTHER. A word that means the world to me...." All gave a big round of applause to Shomi & Sanskar.. Swara was sitting on the front row & overwhelmed with joy. Sanskar came down from stage & held swara's hand. Shomi hugged both of them & scene ended with their blissful faces....

*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"
"There is no velvet so soft as a mother's lap,
no rose as lovely as her smile,
no path so flowery as that imprinted with her footsteps."
Happy mother's day guys!! On this special occasion, I bow down before all the mothers as they are our true source of inspiration........

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (A Risky Decision) Episode 5 Season 2

Sanskar's POV:
'Trust, but verify.', many years back, one of our gang members told this line. My situation perfectly suited to it. After listening from Mayuri, i felt sorry for that lady. But what if she was lying to me? Though I didn't want to give her more pain, but could I trust her? However if her sayings were true, then one thing was confirmed that Swara wasn't my half sister. Oh!! So much relief... When this very idea was striking in my mind, all the feelings associated with swara were interwoven inside my heart like the cobwebbed spider net. No longer I was feeling guilt for my affection towards her. Like a divine angel, swara came into my life and changed the devil present inside me to a complete human being.

Mayuri was standing in front of me with a pale face & I said,"I am trusting you this time. But if you are lying to me then nobody will save you from my hands." I could sense fear in her eyes & she said in an affirmative tone,"I am not lying. And why will I lie? I have nothing to loose & I don't gain any profit after lying to you. Still if you don't believe me, then go and check in Grand Hospital & Research Center. I am sure that you will get proofs to trust me."

Before asking her anything, I got the clue to verify her truthfulness. Though I didn't want to harm Mayuri & felt melancholy for her, still I couldn't forget the truth that unknowingly she was a cause for the destruction of my family.. A family which I cherished the most. That time my phone buzzed & it was the call from Laksh.. I disconnected the call as I couldn't pick up in front of her. The bar was going to be closed. Many people were coming out of the bar. Still we both were standing outside of the bar.

I couldn't stay here for longer period. I had to vacate this place as soon as possible, otherwise my identity could be known. Even after disconnecting the call, Laksh was calling me repeatedly. I thought,'There is something important which Laksh is interested to convey me or else he doesn't call me again & again even after my rejection to pick up the call.' When I was indulged in my own thoughts, I found Mayuri had already left that place. Might be she was present in the crowd who were leaving the bar...

However, I couldn't go after her now as solitude was best place for me.. Crowded places weren't designed for a slayer as it might open up my identity. Again, I had already got the information which I needed from her. So, I let her go after analysing regarding her sufferings.. Laksh again called me & this time I picked up the call while moving out from this place. I started my car & said,"Yes Laksh!! Is there any urgency?"

He was telling in an ebullient tone,"Buddy! I have found out the whereabouts of Swara." Suddenly I lowered down the speed of my car & asked excitedly,"Where is she,Laksh? Is she fine? How do you find her?" Laksh could sense my excitement & said,"Look! This is the reason of my calling to you for multiple times. At least I am able to give you a little bit of happiness." I pled him to say like I was getting back my life after ages, like Laksh had sprinkled magical water on me to imbibe life in my deadly soul.

He said,"Sanskar! I have met her friend Ragini & according to her, swara is in Tuticorin for her medical research purpose. But the great news is that she is returning here within a few days." It meant i could get a glimpse of her. But as soon as I thought of swara, my encounter with Mayuri was flashing back in my mind. She had seen many sufferings in her life.. Could she face the truth regarding her mother?? The relation for which she never cared for herself, could she sustain this clumsy blunder of betrayal of her mother??? I thought,'No'. She would be broken & her breakdown would pierce my heart into many pieces....

Breaking my thoughts, Laksh asked,"Sanskar! You seem disturbed.. What is the matter??" I wasn't in a state to vent out all the happenings now.. I was going through an emotional turmoil... Feelings inside a slayer were destructive signs. And now I was facing it. I just composed myself & said,"Laksh! I am sending you a photograph & the address of a hospital.. Give me all the medical reports of this lady & provide all the minute details of her case history." And I forwarded Mayuri's picture & the hospital address to Laksh.

As soon as Laksh got these things, he asked,"Buddy! Who is she? Is she your next target? Has captain assigned this task to you??" I nodded negatively & said,"I will tell you everything but not now." So, he didn't force me to say & spoke,"Work will be done easily as I am working in this hospital as a doctor now." I was relieved as I could verify Mayuri's truth easily & it wouldn't be a burden on Laksh. After our conversation, I disconnected the call & reached to my dark world.

I rested my head on pillow & though about swara... The scene was splitting between my mom & swara. Sometimes it was very difficult to distinguish their attitudes in my mind. Just then again my phone buzzed & it was a call from captain. As soon as I picked up, he ordered,"Sanskar! Be ready for your next assignment.." I just nodded him & he again commanded,"I am sending you the details of your next target. Convince him to agree to our proposal to sell the land to us or else kill his son."

'Killing', this word popped out of my mouth unintentionally.. Captain laughed and said,"Yes, killing! Is this a new thing to you?? You are the best slayer I have.." I was so confused after hearing from him. Should I be cheerful as I was the best slayer or should I be remorseful after killing so many innocent lives??? I couldn't take any decision & nodded to captain like a robot & disconnected the call..

Feeling uneasy in my room, I moved to terrace hastily to inhale fresh air under the covers of pleasant moonlight. Today, though I wasn't sure but was clarified some sort that I couldn't bear this dual attitude. Two options were present in front of me. I had to choose between a slayer or a savior... But certainly it couldn't be both.......

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (An Awful Truth) Episode 4 Season 2

Sanskar's POV
"Woman... Beautiful than Angel, repulsive than evil", was a lethal combination. It could breach any barriers and produce miracles like the surging tidal waves were able to disperse alluvial soils on the fertile flood plains as well as rupture the coast line to create devastating floods. In either case, it was in extremity which couldn't be ignored. Beautiful minds would decipher lovely outcomes whereas ugly minds would only be the cause of extinction. The woman who was standing near me was also in her extremity. A deadly and dangerous woman, who was only symbolized for havoc. I was unable to behold her face for long as she was the reason of my ruin. I strangled her neck to give her a fatal & painful death. Shooting the bullet was far easier death to her. I wanted her screaming, shrieking, shivering & an ultimate mark of fear before her death. This could only give me peace.

I ignored all her bullshit talks. Just then she asked in stammering voice,"What is my fault,Sanskar?" 'A total bitch', I knew it. After doing so much evil deeds, still she had guts to ask her fault. I shouted,"Shut up, you have done innumerable evil acts. Just like the piousness starts flowing from river Ganges, evilness starts from you.." The way she was looking at me, I was pretty sure that she was unable to understand me. So, I again yelled,"Don't look at me like you are innocent." This time she said in an audible voice,"Don't say like puzzle pieces." Her attitude increased my rage & I pressed her neck more tightly & yelled,"Don't raise your voice,you bitch.. You want to know about your wrong doings na.. OK... Then listen & start counting as the list is never ending.."

She was still looking at me in a surprised look like she hadn't done anything. I started,"Mayuri, I have heard somewhere that there is no greater heaven than the heart of a loving mother. She is the one who nurtures her child. But you are a shame in the name of mother. How can you leave your child & push her to hell? You can't be even called as an animal as animals also care for their children." She was in complete shock as if I had told something unjust things. In an astonishing tone, she asked,"Child.. Whose child.. I don't have any child.." Again lie.. I shouted,"Mayuri, don't you feel embarrassment by telling so much lies. Earlier also you have projected yourself as a victim. Do you think, I will again trust on you?" She repeated her statements again & again.. Cutting her words, I yelled," Stop it Mayuri... At least have some guts to accept your fault like the way you are showering your lies as truths." She again emphasized her statements & said,"Trust me! I don't have any child." Without controlling my rage, I rotated her arms & she shouted in pain & I said,"Then who the hell is swara suryavansi?" Now she was looking at me intensely & said,"She isn't my child.. I am not her mother."

For sometimes I felt a ray of happiness inside my heart but suddenly I remembered Mayuri as a liar. I couldn't trust her words. I pressed her jawlines & yelled,"Now onwards, I don't want to hear a single lie from your mouth, Mayuri. Otherwise I won't spare you & be ready for the consequences." But she was behaving in a determined face & said,"Annapurna is her real mother, Sanskar." This lady had so much guts that pouring out so many lies before a slayer, I thought. How could even Mayuri say Annapurna Suryavansi as swara's real mother? The way swara had projected her foster mother, Annapurna Suryavansi, in front of me, undoubtedly she was a sane lady & caring swara a lot. Then why the hell Mayuri was lying?? I pressed her jawlines deeply & said,"Again you have lied.. You are disgracing a pure women & thrusting your faults on her head. This time you are so dead.." I tortured her & she shouted in pain,"At least give me a chance to explain myself." I yelled,"What will you explain, Mayuri? Again you will start lying, which I can't bear. And whom are you fooling?? I am aware about your affair with my dad...." I felt a pain in my heart when I called that man as my dad.

She said in a lower tone,"Yes! I have a relationship with your father. But trust me! That time I don't know about his married life. I have never lied to you,Sanskar. I am also a victim of incidents." And she emphasized her last sentence. For the first time, she said something liable words by accepting her relationship with my father. So, I gave her a chance to explain herself & she narrated,"I am a teenager that time.. Probably of 18 years of age.. We don't have much property that time.. The share prices of our company are very low. We are enjoying a middle class lifestyle. However I always feel left out between my friends as they consume lavish gadgets. I have also desired for a wealthy lifestyle. Eventually I have met your father in a party, where he has come as a high dignitary. He has persuaded me with his nice talks. In this way, our relationship has grown. Gradually he has satisfied all my needs & I am fond of his company despite having an age gap. But trust me! I don't know that he is married that time....

I am happy with him. However one fine morning I have come to know about my pregnancy and the day I have confronted your father about it, he has commanded me to destroy the child. I am totally broken & requested him to marry me & accept our child but he has denied. In the due course of time, my family has also come to know about this truth and they have discarded this relation & rejected me in the name of a shame.. If you have remembered, with much difficulty, I have come to your home to meet your father as he is avoiding me but that day I have seen his arrest & come to know about his married life.. That day my life is filled with darkness. Every gate of my life is closed.. It's like a trap & I don't know the way of escaping." She took a brief pause from her continuous narration & I was involved in deep thought. Her narrations were truly matched with the happenings of my life.

The memories of my father of not coming to home for nights together, his arrest, Mayuri's arrival to our home flashed back in my mind. But I was still confused & asked,"You have said that you are expecting a child, then how are you rejecting swara as your child?" She again started after taking a long breath,"It's because I have given birth to a dead child..." Now I was shocked beyond expectation. By looking at my shocking face, she explained," In between the share prices of our company has started increasing & the Suryavansi empire is a reputed name in the society. As I am only 20 years that time, I don't know what is good or bad for me & I have made a blunder by trusting your father,who has only utilised me for his satisfaction. My parents don't agree to this relationship but only looking at my poor condition, they have allowed me to stay at home.

Many people have come to know about my insane activity and my mom has passed away in between as she can't take this shame & fear of society anymore. After her death only, we have come across the pregnancy of my sister, Annapurna Suryavansi.. My father has broken down completely but he has handled this matter maturely and nobody come to know about her pregnancy in media unlike me. My days are passed in stressful conditions. I have developed many complications. So, I can't abort the child. On the date of my delivery, I have felt a lot of pain & when I have got up, my father has given me the news of my dead child & taken a vow from me to remain quiet about this incident. After some days when Annapurna has given birth to Swara, a false news is spread about me as her mother. As Annapurna's pregnancy is unknown to everyone, she is safe & I have borne all the shame. My father has forgiven her as her act is unknown to everybody but can't forgive me & has kicked me out of the house & taken a vow from me not to join my name with Suryavansi. I am aware about my mistake and because of me, my mother has passed away. So I don't want to give them further burden & have left home & renamed myself as Mayuri."

I saw her sobbing & really felt bad for her. Destiny had played a foul game with her. Truly there were winds of destiny that blow when we least expected them.. Who could even imagine that the woman whom I cursed as an evil creature was in fact genuinely a victim in the hands of destiny. That day I was confirmed that we didn't meet people by accident.. They were meant to cross our path for a reason. And my coincident meeting with Mayuri was just the same to perceive the truth.

Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (In Search Of Her) Episode 3 Season 2

Swara's POV:
Laksh's party was indeed incredible. Fortunately Ragini behaved nicely with them. I hadn't even touched the drink which definitely shocked Ragini & Laksh. Was this the effect of my abductor upon me? Might be yes!! But the way Ragini hugged me, made me proud of my decision. Time never waited for anyone. It seemed like before some days I had attended Laksh's party but already 1 month had passed to that incident.

I was no longer present in my native place. I shifted to Tuticorin for 4 months for my research project. I wanted to make my project magnificent so that I could clear my graduation in medicine with flying colors & was able to inherit half of the property. Though my mom resisted me for this proposal but I convinced her for the sake of academics. But the truth was that I desired to keep myself away from that chaotic environment so as to completely dedicate my time towards research & medical science.

My mom & Ragini didn't want me to stay in any hostel or in rent. So, for my privacy & safety, I purchased a flat by myself and now I was staying here & continuing my research. Though I had already got my earlier sim card ,but I kept it in switched off mode so as to make me free from the cheesy messages of my friends. My new number was only known to my near & dear one's. Though I missed my mom & Ragini, still I stayed away from them to complete my academics nicely & could give my mother a decent life after inheriting the property..

Sanskar's POV:
After my target's case, my captain hadn't assigned any new task to me. But what shocked me a lot was that she hadn't filed any complaint regarding her kidnapping. As she was a reputed figure in society, so if she had complained in police then that news must had been broadcasted in TVs. But I didn't find any information regarding her kidnapping from news reports, so probably she hadn't complained to police.. Strange girl, I thought....

I always wanted to push her away from my thoughts. But seemed like my mind & heart weren't in my control. Every time I tried to ignore her memories, but unfortunately I found them more closure towards me. For the first time, a target could break the harsh castle enclosed to my heart & was able to wave the strings of emotions inside it. She was the one who could plant a seed of remorse in an assassin's life. She was the replica of my mother & I always cared for her. Whenever I talked with Laksh, I used to ask him about her. After listening regarding her goodness, I felt relieved.

Perhaps after 20 days of her escaping, Laksh called me & said,"Buddy! There is a good news for you." I said,"Ya! I know Laksh, from today onwards you will be called as a doctor." Cutting my words, he said," No sanskar, this news will be more joyful than my success of being a doctor." I didn't understand him & asked curiously,"What is the matter,Laksh?" He said in a happy tone,"Swara has left drinking." For sometimes, I had forgotten that I was a slayer & behaved childishly."What are you saying, Laksh? Is this true? If you will be in front of me, then I will definitely hug you.", I said the entire things in one go with full excitement but suddenly remembered about my existence & controlled my emotions.. Laksh then asked in serious tone,"Why do you care for her? Do you love her, Sanskar?" I thought,"Ya! I do." But at once I remembered her connection with me of being a half sister & this very thought had broken me down. Again Mayuri & my past started hunting me.

Breaking my thoughts, Laksh again repeated his questions. I knew that I couldn't lie to him even I couldn't tell him the entire truth as still I wasn't confirmed about her connection with me. So, I told him,"Laksh!! Some connections are undefined. They are not meant to be together. These relations are made only to be separated. Can a demon & an angel ever mingle?? I suppose, NO, Laksh...." I couldn't any longer control my sobbing. So, I cut the call suddenly without even informing him. Being a nice friend & my supporter, he must had understood my dilemma. So, he didn't call me repeatedly after disconnection of the call.

I searched my mom's picture as for the first time in my life, due to me, a girl would be benefited. She left drinking & due to this, her health condition would improve, what else would I want? I got everything in my life. She would be saved, my mom would be happy from heaven.. What more could I desire? However I didn't get my mom's picture. Suddenly I remembered about the jacket where I had put the picture inside its pocket. But that jacket wasn't with me as I had covered her with that jacket while escaping from here. I lost my mom's last souvenir but it didn't hurt me a lot as it had gone to the right hand, as she was the girl who converted this slayer to a human & blossomed humanity inside a dark inhumane castle.

Day by day my feelings were growing for her. Though I knew that I couldn't meet her again & we weren't destined to remain together, still my eyes were searching a glimpse of her. Days passed & now a days, Laksh also wasn't aware about her whereabouts. I asked Laksh many times regarding her but every time I got a negative reply from him. I remained worried for her now a days. 'Was she safe? Had someone again kidnapped her?', these types of feelings often agitated me but unluckily, I was just a pawn of situations & couldn't trace her location. I roamed around pubs & bars at night in the hope to meet her as I knew about her fondness towards parties. Many times, I had also searched her near her secret place but every time I found the door locked..

Three months had already passed. Every night, I madly searched her. With the passage of time, I was sceptic regarding her whereabouts. Tonight was just the same one as previous nights. I was travelling in dark in a hope to meet her again. 'No matter how much time passed, no matter what took place in the interim, there was something between us, I could never assign to oblivion, memories I could never rub away..' I was thinking of these things while travelling in darkness & searching her in pubs. Just then my eyes fell upon a sight which raged my uncontrollable emotions & anger.

I saw Mayuri standing outside the pub.. What a mockery!! I was searching for her who flourished humanity inside a slayer. But look at the irony of fate!! I found the bitch who was the reason behind my destruction. No longer I was a caring Sanskar. Rather the burning volcanic magma had already started rising inside my body. Now I was deadly & dangerous like a brewing storm which even didn't care to destroy its creator & here she was only a bitch, an insane soul who didn't deserve to live...

There was no one present near her. Good for me. I rushed to her & strangled her neck. She was horrified by my sight & barely stammered,"Sanskar! You.... Leave me..." The burning fury which was curdling inside my heart didn't allow me to listen to her even once & I shouted,"You bitch... Liar... You have remembered my name but what shall I call you?? Mayuri or Shomi Suryavansi??" Now this was something unexpected for her. So, she asked in much difficulty,"How do you know me?" I laughed evilly and corrected her,"oh!! This isn't the correct question!! You shall ask, What can you do with me now?" She was panicked beyond doubt as her facial expression deciphered so... As the place was too dark and due to the louder music inside the pub, nobody could listen her screaming...
