Recap : Swara comforting Sanskar
Bose House
Swara's PoV
Once we reached home, we all went to our room and first I changed the clothes of my munchkins and then I put them to sleep as today they were really very tired. After putting them to sleep and putting a pillow wall around them, I left for changing. Today's day was so fruitful I felt. Getting to know the Maheshwaris and Malhotras was a great opportunity. They were so warm in accepting my kids and I. I was shocked that Sanskar Sir doesn't hide anything from his family. With Cabir Sir, I always had fun around but I have lost the bubbliness after Kavita Di had left. I had to take up the responsibilities of my kids. When Kavita Di was there she never allowed me to take any responsibilities. Like all the elder siblings she was always the serious and the responsible one. When she left us I was broken but i couldn't be broken for long time because I had my babies to take care, I had to take care of my family and obviously my dear brother Neil. Neil was the only person who knew my life and I am the only person with whom he can confide easily. Though our parents are there but still, it was the connect that I felt with him. I would say without my family I wouldn't have been what I am now and that is being called as a mother. I am proud to be called a mother and then a lawyer. I just want one thing and that is to get justice for my Di and I am sure Sanskar Sir and others will definitely help me.
Coming Back to Sanskar Sir, the pain he held for not knowing about Di but at the same time holding the happiness knowing that Kiara and Kavish were part of Di. He had so many emotions. He did not what to embrace and what to let go. That was the reason why I had to meet him. I was so sure that the reason why he did not come to office was because of Di. I wanted to comfort because I know he was important for Di. Di never told me the name but she always spoke so highly about his love for her. She also loved him very dearly. I don't think I can ignore the connect that I can feel between Sanskar Sir and I. I guess it is because of Di and Kids. After one and half years of handling kids, I know what a person wants to say or think and being a lawyer always added that instinct in me. I hope Sanskar Sir is able to cope up and with the support of his family, I do not think he would need any help but just in case if he needs I will always be there for him as a friend.
Sanskar's PoV
After coming back from our little outing, I thought a lot of what Swara said and I couldn't believe she could be so strong. She did not ask me to forget Kavita but at the same time she asked me to let go all the insecurities I was holding. She is so matured and the way she handles kids no one can say that she is not their mother. The kids they are darlings and very cute. Their face is just like Kavita and few other habits like Kavita when she is in deep thoughts she always played with her fingers and same was with Kiara. While Kavish has the habit of squinting his eyes when he is excited and same was Kavita's habit. The way these kids respect or listen to Swara is immense. Anyways now my focus should be on the culprits and dad has already started pulling his connections. I am glad for such a lovely family and now I can very safely add or say that Swara has also become part of my family. She was so down to earth with my family and my family as usual were welcoming. The kids I guess had the time of the day as they were just playing and keeping all of us busy in their cute talks.
Next day came by more pleasant than usual. Swara was happy because the next day being Saturday, all her lovely people are coming back. Her parents would arrive in the morning while Neil would come by evening. She had decided to tell about Sanskar and Kavita to her parents and Neil. She did not want to hide nor give any surprises if by any chance Sanskar Sir comes to our house to visit the kids and talk to my parents. She was also thinking of inviting all family members from Unity Villa . This way the families would also bond. She thought the dream that Kavita Di had seen of making their parents meets would be fulfilled. Though it was not under the normal circumstances but still she wanted to do it so that her sister would be proud of her. She was waiting for all to come. After their breakfast Swara and kids left for her office.
SMC & Co
Hustle bustle on a Friday. Sanskar through the HR had announced that going forward there would be weekends off until and unless there were some urgent cases in hand. Though Saturday was a half day for all, now he wanted to give them off because he understood that life can be too short and it's best to enjoy how much ever you can. So he wanted his employees to enjoy as well. Though he had given them the benefits but now this would be an add on. All the employees were in shock when they heard about the announcement but they also thanked their bosses for such a decision. The day had ended pretty quickly. She had submitted all the reports and had left. Swara had gone home with her kids on time. She had to prepare for arrival of her parents and Neil tomorrow.
Bose House
Around 7 in the evening Nandini, Manik, Cabir and Sanskar had come to visit the kids as today they were all really busy and did not have time to spend with them. When Swara had opened the door she was in for a surprise and she was not at all presentable as she was cleaning the house to keep it ready for the arrival of her parents and Neil.
(Nandini) "OMG, Swara Di, this is a really nice avatar of yours. I did not expect you to be all messy"
(Swara) " I am so sorry, I was not expecting any of you here. Please come inside"
Swara ran towards the kitchen and brought water for all the four.
(Manik) "Swara just relax"
(Swara) "Please give me two minutes I will just call the kids and come and sorry for the mess around, I will clear this as well"
Swara ran to her room where Kiara and Kavish were colouring silently. Swara came to them and told them about visit of the Uncles and Aunty from SCM & Co, they were so excited so they ran towards them. Meanwhile Swara changed her clothes and made herself a little presentable and she came running down to her guests. When she came down, what she saw left her astonished. Then she looked around and she found that Nandini and Manik were in the kitchen. While Manik was engaging the kids in the kitchen, Nandini was searching for ingredients for cooking. Cabir and Sanskar were cleaning the partial mess that Swara was cleaning. She called out Nandini, Manik and then stopped Sanskar and Cabir from working.
(Swara) "Sanskar Sir and Cabir Sir, please stop doing all this, I will do it myself. You all please relax"
(Cabir) "Yesterday when you went in the kitchen we never complained then why are you complaining now"
(Manik) "Moreover you should be happy that our mothers have given is training to clean our own rooms and not to be dependent always, so this is are usual work. So be it"
(Swara) "Please i request stop doing this work, i know that you have got good training from your family but you are my guests and I cannot make you all do this work"
(Sanskar) "So you do not consider us as friends and as far as I know, yesterday we had clearly established that we would be friends. I guess all of us assumed too much, anyways handle your work we will take a leave as guests we cannot overstay as well."
(Swara) "Sir, please I did not mean that"
(Nandini) "Then stop calling them Sir, outside the office, if you did not mean what we thought actually meant"
Swara stood confused of what Nandini said. Seeing Swara's facial reaction Nandini laughed along with her others as well laughed. Still Swara was not able to understand anything and her kids stood as clueless as her
(Kiara) "Mumma why are all laughing and why are you standing like this"
(Cabir) "Kiara, your mumma is very innocent in this matter that she did not understand the joke that Nandini aunty said"
(Kavish) "Then please explain her (Kavish asked innocently looking at all the four). I do not like that look on Mumma's face"
(Manik) "Nandini, take care of the kids and order food online, till then I will knock some brain in Swara's head"
Nandini took the kids to the kitchen and ordered food for all. She also gave a call to Sujatha telling that they will have dinner outside and then she started playing with kids
(Manik) "Swara, listen what Nandini meant was stop calling us Sir outside work. Yesterday when you came home, we literally thought you have considered us as your friends, so we took the liberty of doing the work at home. I understand you are feeling uncomfortable because we all have just met but you need to understand something Swara, that sometimes one meeting is enough to give you a lifetime joy and bond with a person or group of people. It's just the instinct. Sometimes even if you meet a person multiple times its not enough. All of us here have considered you part of our group and you need to learn to save these relationships. Didn't you wonder how come Nandini all of a sudden called you Di because she meant it and that is how a bond/ relationshi is created. Now enough of serious talks"
Swara was just standing blank and did not know what to say, she knew what Manik explained was right but.. She did not understand why was there a BUT
(Cabir) "You be in your dreams. Come on brothers lets continue our work before the food arrives"
(Swara turned to face them) "Give me sometime for me to understand this friendship or relation that we are trying to make. Its been almost one and half years that I have just dedicated my life to my kids and family. It is very difficult for me to come or to even believe that right now what is happening in my life is true. I want to preserve these moments but I am scared that if I open my eyes and find all this to be a dream or an illusion"
(Cabir) "I just said no serious talks lady. Take your time but how much ever time you take the house is not going to get cleaned automatically and we have to complete our work before the food arrives because I like my food hot"
Saying this all the three chuckled and got back to cleaning. Swara was blessed by seeing their down to earth nature. Swara then went to the kitchen and apologized to Nandini as well. Nandini told her to live a little. Anytime she thought she needed a sister she would be there though she is young. She felt happy for her kids and she was blessed to have them. later Swara asked all the three friends that is Manik, Cabir and Sanskar to play with kids meanwhile she will complete the balance cleaning as much was not left to do. Swara along with Nandini started cleaning. Once done the house was presentable for her parents and her brother. The food had come that was collected by Sanskar, while Nandini and Swara had gone for freshening up. All the three found the required cuttlery and placed the food in that. The food was something what kids and elders would enjoy and it was Pizza and Pasta along with desserts. So Sanskar started feeding Kiara and Kavish while Manik and Cabir just talking with the kids. When Nandini and Swara came down, the guys asked them to sit once the feeding sessions to kids were over, all the adults started having their food and were having fun chit chatting.
