"I sit alone now in the darkness of despair 
I cry my silent tears
My heart is broken into a million tiny pieces
The silence is deafening to my ears."

#Always_With_You

"Zameen pr na sahi
Tu aasmaa mei aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil"

As the song made its way through radio of one of the neighbors in baadi, a lifeless swara sat in the corridor remembering her loss..  Pale and weak with puffed eyes having dark circles all around indicating the sleepless nights she goes through every night.. She was looking on one of the photograph of sanskar 😢😢😢

****SWARA'S POV starts****

Its been six months sanskar.. Six damn months and i still cud not trace u.. Where r u 😭😭😭 people say me that u r no more but i know its a lie..  I hav full faith and trust on u.. U just cannot simply leave me here all alone and go.. We had promised of living and dieing together... How can u break that promise? Moreover if ur breathing stopped then how i m alive? No i know u r there
.  I can feel u..😞

In these six months RagLak left no stone unturned to harass and to break me... But ur last words to me are still ringing in my ears of being strong to the world no matter what...but how long sanskar? How long will u take to return.. I fnt knw for how much time i can act as strong
. The reality is i m totally broken from inside by ur departure... Throughout mom, dad, uttara and badi maa were my constant support... Now badi maa also lives with us.. She left MM after that day...

Looking at mom dad i feel how wud they hav felt wen they heard about ur death... Dad who must hav thought that u will hold his hands in his old age with his trembling hands did ur so called funeral.. Uttara, she lost her only brother with whom she used to share everything.. And mom.. She has gone lifeless like me.. To encourage me to remain brave she has plastered a smile on her face but i know how much she cries every night remembering u just like me...

Dad and me did every effort to make RagLak arrested but afterall they were more powerful..  They bribed the higher officials and the case got closed...

I m still in the hope of ur return.. I still wear the vermillion and mangalsutra of ur name... Dont let my hope down sanskar (looking towards sky) come back soon sanskar.. Come back soon.. Everyone needs u here badly...

****SWARA'S POV ENDS****

After that day swara was just like a dead soul who was alive just because her breathing organs were working... She looked for sanskar everywhere believing that he is alive... But cudnt find him anywhere..  She was going miserable day by day... But then looking at RamTa Ap nd uttara she decided that now they r her responsibility, she resumed her job in the music school but didnt lose her hope not even fr a second regarding sanskar.. She was continuously trying to find him...

These six months were not easy for her..  RagLak didnt let go even a single chance to humiliate her... 
Ragini even sent a goon to misbehave with her but she being his sanskar's sherni faced him bravely by spraying pepper spray on his face and kicking him in his balls...

One evening

Swara was lying on her bed and gazing sanskar's pic remembering their moments when suddenly her phone rang.. She looked towards the caller id and smiled genuinely in six months... She received the call

Swara(happy and teary eyes) : DIDA😢
