Swara was curled up on her bed, hugging a pillow and all of 2-3 girls (Swara’s close friends) were over trying to cheer her up, but it was really not working.

SWARA AND SANSKAR HAD GOTTEN MARRIED SIX MONHS AGO and that had been the best day of her life, but a month later Sanskar was sent to the East and he hadn’t been able to take her with him.

She had begged him not to go, to request to be sent elsewhere, somewhere where she could go with him, but he had told her with that big, beautiful smile that he wanted to do something meaningful and where he was being deployed was the perfect opportunity.

In a way she understood that, after they had both graduated from college, Swara had gotten this great job as a social worker, helping children in need,

But Sanskar ended up working a janitor job and enlisted and went through boot camp and all that to do something better and to be able to afford his and Swara’s wedding.

Swara couldn’t help, remembering Sanskar leaving and all that made Swara cry and then sob.

Now all of her friends crawled onto the bed with her, trying to comfort her, and at some point she heard Ragini (one of her bestiee) suggest that maybe it would help if she started writing Sanskar letters, to talk to him and to know that he was still alive.

Swara sniffled and sat up

Swara : You know what..?? I’m going to do that, hand me that notebook and a pencil.

Swara hesitated and thought for a few minutes what she was going to write and finally came up with something

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

My love Sanskar,

I’m really badly missing you, I’m afraid that something is going to happen to you, and I haven’t been able to sleep, the bed feels too big, too cold, and way too lonely WITHOUT YOU. Finish your tour quickly and come back to me honey, there’s stuff I need to tell you and it’ll only work in person. Please write back as soon as you get this, I need to know you’re alright.

Love you so much….!!!

Your Swara.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

It seemed to take forever for Swara to get a letter back from Sanksar, but when it did show up; she literally screamed and immediately ripped it open and saw Sanskar’s handwriting.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

My jaan,

Hey Wifey, I miss you so much too. I’m sorry YOU CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT ME there, I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT YOU either, the guys keep offering to take your place, jokingly of course, I always tell them that my heart is back home with you and they of course give me grief for that, but I don’t care. It’s pretty crazy over here, lots of random and pointless attacks, it breaks my heart. I’m sorry Swara, but it isn’t a matter of doing the job quickly and being able to leave, it’s the required amount of months that make up a tour. I can’t wait to hear your news when I get home.

I love you so much babe…!!

Love Sanskar.

P.S. The boys asked me to get you to send a picture of you over.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Swara managed to smile through her tears, even as her heart aching and she wrote a letter back to Sanskar.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Dear Sanskar,

Honey, what have you been telling the guys of your platoon about me that they want me to send a picture..?? I think it is absolutely absurd, but I put a picture in the envelope along with the letter. I looked up how long a tour usually lasts and I can’t believe it, by the time you get home the news I have will be pretty obvious. Stay safe Sanskar, come back to me early.

Love you very much it hurts.

Love Shona.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

It took even longer for Sankar’s next letter to arrive than the last, but it finally did, making Swara feel absolutely faint with relief, her hands were shaking so bad, she could barely get the letter open.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

My heartbeat,

Jaan, you have me really curious and intrigued as to what you want to tell me when I get home, are you sure you can’t tell me in your next letter..??(secret :-well guys it was the news of Swara’s pregnancy) I’m dying here Swara to hear that news now. About my platoon mates asking to see a picture, well I was just telling them about my beautiful yet prettiest wife and how I can’t wait to get back to you, so nothing to be embarrassed about. By the way, I just love the picture you sent and my buddies saw it and said that you are super-hot, which I was pleased with, but it also kind of ticked me off that they were checking you out and found you attractive, YOU ARE MINE after all, so they shouldn’t be admiring you.

I know, so Neanderthal-like……

SORRY…..I got to go babe, there is an alert and my platoon is being sent out.

Love you to the core jaan…!!
