Two days later .

Swara woke up with another nightmare , She believed the nightmare were an thing of the past . Apparently not . There were so much blood and she subconsciously began to run her fingers over her neck still hoping to find the scars .

Then she took in her surroundings. And the past two days knowledge came crashing down . Her house well technically it was her mother husband house . Swara and her mom moved into his house after their marriage . Swara didn't offer to pay up rent and offend her mom , so she remained in her house .But she was saving up to buy her own small flat . With her income it may happen in next ten years . But she knew she has all the time in the world .

And to find that house torn apart made her scared . Living in constant fear was not new to her. She had tons of experience with it .But she was not scared for a sometime .Ever since she found her knight in shining armour .

Even now she was staying at his house .Well flat to be precise. That fateful night she was glad for his support .And she was further glad to have Sanskar Maheshwari by her side when the police came for questioning .

Sanskar answered most of the questions which left Swara hidden from the penetrating Stares of the police , but when the topic of who might hold an grudge towards swara came forward . Sanskar had only one name to offer Sahil . Because that all he knew and since Swara wanted to hide her past more than anything from sanskar took it upon herself to talk privately to the police regarding her past . She told them her past briefly and mentioned those who might hate her enough to do it .

When the police left with an warning to be cautious and an promise that they will check all the names in the list .Both Sanskar and Arjun knew Swara had more than one enemy .

Since Sanskar already promised never to ask swara about his past , he was helpless to question her further . Both Arjun and Sanskar asked her to stay with them instead of alone . While Swara insisted she can stay with Nisha . Sanskar dismissed the idea saying Nisha and her grandmother isn't enough of an protection

Swara didn't really want to stay with Sanskar. So she agreed to stay with Arjun and his wife only for Arjun to take back the invite with few excuse as he didn't want to aggravate his boss .

And so with no choice left , Swara moved into Sanskar house .And it has been two days of staying together. Sanskar wasn't much of an cook , so they ordered pizza the first night .Swara cooked breakfast as an gesture of thanks .

They didn't talk much with each other .Swara preferred it , Sanskar realizing she needed distance didn't step into her personal space often .All was going well few more days than she can go back to her home.

She was busy in her wandering thought's. The knock to her bed room didn't register for a few minutes. Then fear kicked in ,she tried to find the knife that was usually placed by her bed side drawer in the past , then when Sanskar voice with concern asking if she is okay .Reality crashed in .She might have screamed in her nightmare .Her mom and uncle didn't want to hurt her so they never mention it , but she knew she had screamed when the nightmare occurs .
