“who is she?”swara whispered in kavita’s ear.
“sunny and pari’s mother…”kavita throw daggers at her.swara looked at woman again with wide eyes then at kavita and shakes her head vigorously.
“she is not the one whom i met yesterday”
“who took them?”she said angrily while walking toward swara and kavita.both takes two steps back and looked at each other then at that woman.
“she is so scary…”swara thought in mind.
“swara took them with her..”swara said quickly pointing at kavita.her mouth dropped to ground.angry woman turned toward kavita.
“where are they?…tell me,i am asking something?”woman shouted at kavita’s face.swara covers her ear and makes some distance while kavita was still in shock.
“sunny is nothing in front of her mother”swara muttered under her breath.
“did you kidnapped them?”she said and looked around the hall.kavita was looking at her with wide scared eyes.
“now i understand,you middle class people can do anything for money…..tell me where are my kids or i will call police.”the woman said in threatening voice.swara’s eyes widened hearing the threat while kavita’s face turned red after hearing her middle class tantrum.
“excuse me madam….i didn’t kidnapped your children,they came to us as you and your husband were gone for party,leaving them behind.”kavita said in loud warning voice with angry red face.
“how dare you raise….”
“hold your tongue…don’t forget you are standing at my place and you want to see your children then wait here,i will take you them myself”kavita said angrily and walked toward her room but stopped in mid and looked at swara angrily.
“i am also going to get ready…”swara said with tight smile and literally runs toward her room.kavita also goes toward her room.

“do ou know the basic rules of math?”sanskar asked in serious but soft tone.sunny nodded.
“then you should not be scared….if you will keep on thinking you can’t do it then you can never do it,but if you will think you can do it and try to do it with that thought then only you can do it…..and for math test,we just need to know method and a little bit brain and i know you are very intelligent”sanskar said and pats his cheek.sunny nodded while smiling and hugs him.swara also smiles.

Swara was sitting in her cabin while working on some files when door gets open and some comes inside.swara raised her head and her forehead gets lined seeing Dev khurana
“hello sir!..’swara said with professional smile.
“don’t be so formel with me…sir doesn’t sound good from mouth of beautiful girl like you”Dev khurana said and sits just opposite to her.swara gives him fake smile.
“sanskar sir didn’t come office till now….if you want you can wait for him in his cabin”swara said,avoiding his dirty eyes which were scanning her from top to bottom.
“you will mind if i wait for him here”he said with smirk.swara went silent for a second.
“why will i mind?….you can wait here also.what will you take,tea or coffee”swara gulps a little,feeling uncomfortable from his lustful gaze and picks up receiver to order.he gets up from chair,shaking his head,walks around the table and holds her hand from which she was holding receiver.
“i don’t want to drink coffee…”he said in meaningful tone.
“what are you doing sir?..”swara said in worried voice and try to pull her hand but his grip was strong.
“leave my hand…”swara said while getting up from chair,tears formed in her eyes.
********************************
Sanskar was standing on a bridge while looking down at fast flowing water.every moment from last night was passing from his eyes.
“i can’t allow her to mess with my brain….she is a problem and i have to get rid from it.i can’t let her stay near me anymore.”sanskar said in firm tone.he stuffed his hands in his pent’s pocket.after sometime,a man comes to him and forward a white envelop.
“sir termination letter is ready…”
“did you put cheque in it?”sanskar said with poker face.
“yes sir but i think there is some mistake….contract breaking fee was 3 lack but cheque is of 8 lack”man said in confusion.
“i know what i am doing.”sanskar said in same tone,takes envelop,keeps it in inside pocket of his coat and walks toward his car and drove off.
“no one can understand him…’man said,shrugged his shoulder and goes toward his car.
AFTER 30 MINUTE
“good morning sir..”
sanskar nodded at the greetings of his employees when he passed from working desks till lift.he pressed the button and door of lift gets open with ting sound.sanskar steps inside and again pressed the button.
after some time,doors get open with ting sound and sanskar walks toward swara’s cabin.he opens the door and hears swara’s pleading voice.
“LEAVE MY HAND…”swara pleaded but he pulls her toward him.
‘what is happening here?..’sanskar loud sharp voice,making them turn their heads toward him.he quickly leaves swara’s arm and takes few steps back.sanskar goes toward them with blood filled eyes,pulls swara behind him and grabs his coller with both hands.
“how dare you harress my employee that too in my company”sanskar said in steely voice.tears makes swara’s vision blur,a sharp pain hit her head,she forward her hand to stop sanskar as he had raised hand on him but falls down on floor,seeing sanskar beating him.
