What happened princess? and what are you doing? Why are you packing your clothes? What's the matter? beta?" Shekhar asked in panicked voice. "what is the matter, this question you are asking me Dad? after you broke my trust?" Swara asked Shekhar while crying vigorously. "Baccha when did I broke your trust?" Shekhar asked in panicked voice but little did he had idea about what Swara is talking about. "You know how much I love him, I told you I want to spend my whole life with him, but what did you do? You lied to me that you like him and behind my back you were offering her lots of money so that she leaves me why dad?" Swara asked while wiping her tears. "So that boy told you this, I already knew that this is how middle class people are, He is a the biggest fraud, he loves your money, not you beta, try to understand" Shekhar try to make her understand his point of view. "You are wrong dad If he loved my money then he would never have rejected your offer of Rs 5 crore" Swara defend her love. "This is his master plan, he was getting only 5 crores for going away from you, but if he marries you then this entire wealth of 2000 crores will be his. Because you are my only daughter my only child you are the heiress of my property's. Beta, that boy is trying to create a rift between us. he called you and told you everything so that you can be away from me and get closer to him, And he knows very well that you are my weakness. I will never be able to see you sad. And even if I don't want to, I will get you married to him, only because of your happiness And look, you are doing the same thing coming under his influence, you are leaving your dad's house." Shekhar said while getting extremely angry upon the man whom Swara loved. Swara - No dad you are wrong he hasn't told me anything, when I was talking to him in phone I heard your voice calling his name in the background, I felt strange because you said that you had an important meeting today but you went to meet her under the pretext of a meeting, I also reached his house and listened to every word you said to him, How you insulted him, made fun of his poverty and asked him to take the money and get out of my life. And as far as leaving the house is concerned, I am doing it of my own free will, he did not influence me.

"Nothing will happen to you my child" Shekhar said to Swara and picked her in his arms and walk outside of the house towards his car where driver is already waiting for them. "Move towards the hospital fast" Shekhar said while trying to control his tears. "I'm so sorry my princess I'm so sorry I will listen to everything you say, just get well once my child, your happiness lies in that boy? I'm ready to accept him too" Shekhar said to unconscious Swara while drop off tear fall from his eye's.
