Hilooo Ev1. Here is another part. Bdw have I disturbed you all a lot with this story? Please feel free to share your views whether it’s positive or negative. Don’t worry, m going to end it soon. Now let’s move inside the story.

Here we go,

“We will do rest of the shopping later. Now we should concentrate on Ammu’s accessories!” Swara was running from this shop to another. She was sooo very excited to shop for her beta as she would join school. Yoo, Ammu was going to join school in few days. Sanskar has already talked to the principal regarding every matter. How Ammu was left behind without education till now. Well, she was just four; so there was not much problem in starting everything from start. Moreover SwaSan were there na, they would manage her.

Sanskar stood there not moving while Ammu ran after her Mumma holding the edge of her dupatta. Swara was walking fast, so for Ammu it was more like running. Sanskar kept on gazing both. Swara was walking from this shop to another and Ammu behind her taking tiny tiny steps with full speed. The crazy author is licking her ice-cream stick listening to the song Dora Dora bhaga bhaga saa from the film ‘Chachi 420’. (*Guyz! Imagine everything in fast forward mode. Just like we watch in TV.)

“Mumma can we sit for sometime? M tired!” Ammu complained as Swara lifted her up.

“My Ammu is tired? No problem. We will continue after sometime!” She said and Ammu encircled her hands around her neck.

“M lil sleepy now. Ninni coming!” She yanked and Swara widened her eyes.

“Noooo! Ammu nei. Don’t sleep now.” But unfortunately kumbhkaran ke dur ke rishtedar was already asleep. She never failed to astonish Swara by her sleepy head nature.

“Did she fall asleep?” Sanskar came near them and Swara nodded.

“Lemme wake up my princess! Din mei bhi bhala koi sota hai!” He tried to take Ammu from Swara but she forbade.

“Shhh! Let her sleep. Look how tired she is. Besides she is snoring!” Kissing her one side of the head Swara embraced Ammu more comfortably.

“She always snores Swara. No matter what!” Sanskar let out a chuckle.

“Ok, let me take her to car and you finish shopping.” He took her in his arms. “I won’t wake her up!” He cut off seeing her glaring him.

“Wait a minute!” He turned around.

“This is the credit card!” He handed over her but in return she passed a small smile confusing him “I’m shopping for OUR PRINCESS!” And everything was answered. He took back the card and smiled wide “Take care!”

“You too!” She smiled back. Sanskar walked out carrying Ammu.

It’s been almost an hour since she was shopping but gladly there were no end of her list. Starting from the books, copies, crayons, pencil, eraser, pen and what not. After all it was for her Ammu,she wanted everything to be perfect. Later she moved to a stationary shop to buy a few things for Ammu like- New rubber bands, small small butterfly clips, glass bindis, she also took a nailpaint of colour baby pink with the mixture of glitter. Actually Ammu loved when she saw Ragini using the same. Even she asked Swara whether she had that paint or not but unfortunately she didn’t have. The list was unending. Over all she wanted to do every bit of thing which she wanted to do with Anjuu.

“Done!” She muttered to herself paying the bill.

“Oh! Wait!” She decided to take a ‘U’ turn and went inside the shoe shop and selected few pair of shoes. She even shopped chappals, letting out a small laugh seeing the size of those tiny winy slippers. Those were so cute. Besides she needed a back pack too. Initially Ammu needed one but she bought two as the pikachuuu printed back pack looked way too adorable. Ammu would definitely love it as it was her Mumma’s favourite. (*M blushing so hard writing this?).

Finally she was done with all the shopping. Now she had to move or else she would become more greedy to buy the whole shop.

“Ammu will love these things. She will be soo happy!” The glow on her face was worth watching at that moment. The thought itself made her smile automatically that her daughter would smile seeing those accessories.

“Haa! Ragini, I’m with Ammu. Actually shopping for her!” She attended the call not walking carefully while she bumped with someone.

“Sorry. Woo. I didn’t notice you!” Swara started gathering all the things as everything got scattered due to bumping.

“M sorry too!” The other person apologised and the next moment got freeze.The THUD sound was heard off as her mobile touched the ground.

Swara felt terribly cold and her body betrayed her to move.

“Swara! Are you there? Kya huwa?” Ragini’s voice was tensed sensing that something was wrong. But Swara was too weak to move her trembling body.

“Saahil!” The abrupt whisper was left and it took a great effort to look back at him. She sent a few prayers to God to not to let her meet her bad dream. She was happy in her world. But it seemed God had another plan for her.

On the other hand Sanskar waited for a while but Swara was nowhere to be seen. Giving a glance to Ammu,he unbuckled his sit belt and moved out of the car.

“Hello! Yeah m with her. Wait no, she is shopping and here m sitting in the car with princess!” Sanskar received the call. “But why are you sounding so tensed? Everything all right?” He questioned back.

“Sanskar!!!! Swaraaaa!” Ragini couldn’t complete.

“What happened to Swara?” He was quick in cutting her off.

“Saahil! Swara. Saahil….!” He cut the call and immediately ran from the parking lot, meanwhile Ammu rubbed her eyes and her 1st view was her papa was running in hurry. She unlocked the door and ran after him.

He was way too fast so she also ran as fast as she could. Here Sanskar was really very tensed thinking about Swara that he forgot to lock the car and as a result Ammu came out of it.

____________.

“Swara!” Someone sounded joyfull calling out her.

Swara stumbled but somehow got up from the place and looked towards the souce of the sound and YEAHHH! Her nightmare was standing infront of her. The nightmare she never wished to see ever. The nightmare that had stolen her sleep. The nightmare that taken away all the light she had. The nightmare that snatched the right to dream of was right in front of her.

She tried to breath but couldn’t as the fear stroke her very hard. She couldn’t move as her every nerve was frozen. She prayed to all mighty to be that a dream and shut her eyes close. She hadn’t enough courage to face him. No she hadn’t.

“Swara!” Her eyes snapped open when she found herself touched by him. How could he?

With a swift moment she stepped back,stumbled hard and finally landed herself on someone’s arm. She needn’t nothing to know who that person was. All she looked back at him with her blank eyes.

“Swara!” The fear knocked him hard while staring her blank eyes. The same eyes he witnessed a day before. The sudden fear shook him to the core. He somehow made her stand.

“Swara! Are you all right?” He asked but there was no reply. He found her shivering all of a sudden. The bright glow she was having an hours ago was replaced by a pale mask. God! Everything was going smooth then why it had to happen?

“Meri taraph dekho Swara!” He cupped her face making her look at him.

“I’m here na! See everything will be a right. MAIN HOON NAA!” He said while pulling her for a soothing hug which they both needed the most but to his shock she didn’t reciprocate. He hugged her more tightly.

“Swara! It’s me. Saahil!” He came forward to them. “Your Saahil!” Thank to God that Sanskar didn’t land a hard punch on his blo*dy face. His Swara needed him more than that blo*dy person.

“Swara! It’s all right. M here!” He caressed her hair calming himself down as well.

Swara gripped him more tightly. She felt herself too weak to balance herself.

“Mumma! Papa!” Ammu huffed standing there looking at both of them with curious eyes.

“Mumma kya huwa appko?” Her innocent eyes sneaked for an answer. “Mumma idhar dekho!” She pulled her dupatta.

“Papa what happened to Mumma?” Sanskar didn’t have answer. Having no option she hugged Swara through her waist in a hope that her Mumma would look at her. She knew something was going wrong otherwise her Mumma would have taken her in her embrace.

“Hick!…” The hiccup sound caught her attention as Swara looked down and found her daughter sobbing. Her sobbing sound brought her back to reality. What she was doing? Making her beta cry? Why she was behaving like that? For a man who was nothing to her. N O T H I N G. Then why the hell she was hurting her and Sanskar who was looking at her with his most concerned eyes.

“Ammu beta!” Ammu looked up, her eyes teary, nose flowing and cherry on the cake ‘hiccups’. A light smile did cover her face seeing her most cute daughter in that state. “Mumma is here beta!” She lifted her up.

“I got… Hickkk.. Soo scared…hickkk.. Mumma that… You..will.. Hickkkk.. Again leave… Me!” She finished saying cuddling in her embrace to make sure her Mumma was with her.

“Mumma won’t ever leave you.” She kissed her hair.

“Swara!” She left a few deep breaths and turned toward Saahil who was looking at them being a ghost. ?

“Sanskar we should leave now!” Swara said and it made Sanskar smile. He was sure of something. He was sure that everything would be all right now.

“Who is that uncle Mumma?” Ammu questioned.

“He is no one!” There came the straight forward answer.

“Mumma?” Saahil gasped. “She can’t be your Mumma!” He protested and Ammu looked at him with open mouth.

“She is my Mumma.” She was angry now. How could that no one say that she wasn’t her Mumma? Huh! “Niche uttaro!” She ordered and Swara did as she was said.

“What is your problem if she is my Mumma? She is my Mumma. Ammu’s Mumma. Anjuu’s Mumma.” She frowned glaring the man keeping her both hand on her waist.

“He is more bad than Chudail aunty!” She murmured.

“Ammu your hiccups?” Swara asked being shocked.

“Ohh! Haaa. My hiccups. It forgot about them!” She smiled sheepishly.

“But she can’t be your Mumma as she is my wi…….” Sanskar step in cutting him off. “She can be her Mumma because she is my wife!” Swara took a minute to realise what he said.

“Swara we should get going now!” Sanskar gave a damn to the unwanted people.

“Wait papa. Lemme pick up these!” Ammu pointed to the land and started gathering all the things. Swara joined her as well wiping her tears off. More than Sanskar no one could understand how her smile week was!

“Swara please listen to me!” Saahil pleaded as his eyes filled with tears. But Swara stayed strong, for her daughter. She couldn’t show her broken state. She continuously wiped off her falling tears. Why God had to be soo cruel?

“Swara!” Someone called out her from back.
