"Ok. Tomorrow is saturday, do you want me to take you there?" Swara asked caculatively. She knew her one action would again bring her on her sister's radar but as of now she just wanted to comfort this little soul. In a moment, Swara saw her own reflection in Mishka.
"Really?" Girl smiled brightly showing her teeth.
"Yes." Swara nodded her head. She could see Sanskar's inquisitive eyes on her.
After some more talks, Mishka happily left from their room, her heart was filled with hope to meet her father next day.
"I am sorry Sanskar." Swara palmed her face, the moment little girl was out of their sight. "I should not have promised Mishka. But I... I cannot see... "
"Sorry for what Swara?" he took a seat besides her on bed.
"I am scared, what if Ragini and Laksh creates a fuss about it tomorrow, saying I am trying to lure their daughter and creating misunderstandings between them." She was terrified with a mere thought of disturbing peace in her and Sanskar's life over last couple of months. 
He pulled her in his side embrace and she buried her face in his chest.
"I am sorry Sanskar, again I failed you... I shouldn't have interfered." She kept on venting out shedding tears which were socking his shirt.
"Swara, please. Look at me." He cupped her face and made her look at him. "You don't have to be sorry. You have this innate quality to help the needy ones and I fell for your this nature. I don't want you to change yourself in this process of repairing our marriage. I want you to be as is." He spoke affectionately yet assuredly. He kissed her forehead mumbling against her skin, "I love you the way you are."
"I love you too." She replied cajoling.
He smiled lightly looking at her nose turning red. Even though she was crying, he found her looking very cute.
"Don't worry, we will handle it. Right now, don't think too much about it." He explained, "We will see what to do when time comes. Ok?" 
She nodded her head in agreement. 
"But my heart goes for the little girl." He shook his head pessimistically. "They took decision to adopt her but I don't know how they are going to fulfill their responsibilities. Just providing shelter, food and basics won't be sufficient for a little heart to grow."
It was after long time both were discussing about their siblings.
"I just hope her father gets well soon and takes his daughter along with him. Thats the best solution for current situation." Swara hoped, "Can we do anything in this regard?"
"Let me see if we can get the best treatment for him. Once he is fit and fine, he will take care of his daughter." Sanskar voiced out his thoughts. From long time, this thought was lingering around his mind looking at his sibling and his wife's behaviour towards this little girl.
"Yes that will be great. But Sanskar please, make sure we don't get any limelight for this else..." Swara turned suspicious, though she was proud over his mindset.
"Yes ofcourse."
Next day, Swara entered kitchen after their morning sneak out. Ragini was there working over Mishka's breakfast.
"Ragini, do you remember Gauri? My friend from college, she had a baby yesterday. I am thinking to visit her and baby to the hospital. It's the same hospital where Mishka's father is admitted... do you think I should take her along with me?" Swara spoke as discussed with Sanskar last night. Ofcourse both needed a plan to safeguard their own relation.
