"I am talking to my son. Laksh, Swara is pregnant. We all know because of twins her pregnancy is a bit complicated. Today, after the episode, she went totally numb. Sanskar had to call the doctor. The doctor strictly warned us to avoid any mental stress to Swara, otherwise it can be harmful for her as well as for babies." Annapurna spoke not even passing a single glance to Ragini.
"Ma but why will I cause any trouble for Swara? Afterall she is my sister." Ragini spoke but her heart was running with marathon speed.
"I will never let you give it a chance. But it is also true, as long as you are here, unfortunately your grandmother's and father's interference will always be there in this house. And your grandmother has always been the cause of Swara's pain. So by sending you away from this house, I am actually distancing your anarchic family from my household for the betterment of Swara." Annapurna's reality check gave a loud and clear shutup call to Ragini.
"Laksh, after a long time, a ray of happiness has appeared in this house...I urge you to please... please send her to her father's house. I have no objection to you respecting your marriage vows with her. It's your and her personal matter but this household and family's happiness is my responsibility. And this time I will not leave a stone to secure the happiness of my family members." Annapurna concluded with clarity. She left by passing a cold glare to her son and daughter in law.
"Laksh, please can you talk to Ma." Ragini tried her last resort, tears started streaming over her cheeks.
"I am sorry Ragini. You and I have always been the reasons for creating a mess for Bhai and Swara's married life. This time Swara is pregnant. If this time either of them faces even the slightest trouble because of us, I will not be able to live. Let    's do what Ma is saying." Laksh spoke his heart out. Even today he was drowned in the guilt of his past irrational actions.
"Are you leaving me Laksh? Should I say that the thread of the marriage bond we shared is broken now?" Ragini spoke of her worst nightmares.
"I respect this marriage bond Ragini. So, I will never break the thread of this relationship but I cannot deny the trust and love we used to share has long gone from it." Both shared a painful eyelock. "Please... Please don't create any scene." Laksh folded his hand in front of his wife.
Unaware of them there was one pair of eyes witnessing the entire drama standing at the upper hallway. It was none other than Sujata. She shook her head leading towards Swara's room to look after her.
"How could he do this with you?" Parvati clenched her fist.
"All this is the result of your actions, Ma." Sharmishtha finally spoke with a passing sardonic smile.
"And what about your daughter... Where is she now? This is all she wanted right? She always wanted to kick my Laddoo out of that house and see today her wish has been granted. Like a mother, like a daughter. The mother broke my son's house and the daughter broke my Laddo's." Parvati went on cursing Swara and Sharmishtha. 
Here in Maheshwari House, it was a night. Sanskar was standing at the balcony of his room looking outside.
'Please take me far far away from here Sanskar.' Swara's pale voice was ringing in his ears.
There was a beep on his mobile. It was a message from his father. 'Son, can you please come to our room?'
Sanskar gave a brief look at Swara, she was sleeping under medication after the doctor's visit. He left his room to meet his father but Swara's voice was still unsettling his mental peace.
"Dad, what happened?" He saw his father and mother.
"I want to talk to both of you." 
He gave a quick glance at his mother but looking at her reaction he understood his mother was also clueless about the sudden ask from his father.
