RECAP: Swara becoming sick…!! SWASANRAG Convo…!! Start to new journey with friendship…!!
SANSKAR’S POV:
“Swara…!! Please… leave me…!! I beg you…!! It’s hurting…!! I can’t do it anymore…!!” I started begging her…!! From 20 minutes… I have been crying…!! Tears have been continuously flowing from my eyes…even though I am trying hard to control them…!!
“No way…!! I said the same thing two and half months back… about leaving you…!! It’s you who is adamant at that time…and wanted to stay together like friends…!! So… there is no choice for you now…!! You should do this…!!” Swara said with a smirk…!!
Me(still crying): “I have been regretting now… for that mistake I have done at that time…!! I think these are enough…!! I will stop…!!”
Swara(controlling smile): “No… not at all enough…!! You still need to cut 5 more onions…!! You asked me to cook biryani right??!! So… these are not sufficient…!!”
Me(pleading): “Please swara…!! We are friends right??!! Show little mercy on me…!! I will do anything else… other than this…!!”
Swara(teasing): “Exactly… Mr.Sanskar…!! We are friends…!! Friends means we should share and live together…!! Since you don’t know cooking… you should cut vegetables… so that we can share our food…!!”
Me(giving up): “Ok…I asked biryani right??!! Now I don’t want…!! So…these onions are enough…!! Cook something…!!”
Swara(acting serious): “Oo… hello…!! What are you thinking…!! Everything goes according to your wish??!! Stop these tricks and cut onions…!!”
Me(convincing): “Please.. swara…!! I am a new trainee in cooking…!! So… please give me some concession in work for today…!! Please…!!”
Swara(smiling): “Ok…!! For today…I am leaving…!! Give that knife…!! Go..!!”
Me(happily): “Thank God..!!”
Handing over cutting work…I took a carrot and started eating it… settling on a chair near to her…!!
Swara(while cutting): “you should thank me… Not to god… because I am saving your life…!! If you learn cooking….in future… you can cook for yourself… so that you can be far
from those outside foods…!! And your health will be in secure position…!!”
Me(folding hands): “My saviour…!! Thank you soo much for your help…!! You had put up a great effort in saving me…!!”
Meanwhile… swara’s phone started ringing….!! As she was busy in cutting… I went and lifted it…!!
Me(happily): “Hello Ragini…!! How are you???!!”
Ragini(excited): “Hi jiju…!! I am fine..!!”
I went to table again while speaking to her… where swara has been cutting vegetables… and kept loud speaker on…!! It became our daily routine to our trio…. speaking like this together… atleast once a day…!!
Ragini(happily): “Hii…didi…!! Just now… jiju said that you are cooking chicken biryani for lunch…!! Is it???!!”
Swara(worried): “ Shh…!! Calm down…!! Why are shouting???!! Are you mad???!! If… mom or dad listens and comes to know that I eat non-veg…they will kill me…!!”
Ragini(being cool): “Didi…!! I am not that much careless ok???!!! I am outside…!!”
Swara(relieved): “Ooh…!!That’s good…!!By the way… where were you??!!”
Ragini: “Wooh…!! I actually came out to have lunch… with a friend…!!”
Swara: “Which friend??!!”
Me(cutting her and teasing): “Her boy-friend…!! She is having a lunch date with him…!! Do you have any problem??!! Why do always do soo much of investigation like Sherlock holmes??!!!”
Ragini(laughing): “Haha…!! You are right jiju…!!She should have become a CID officer…!!”
Swara(annoyed and angry): “ I just casually asked…!!You people generally don’t have any work other than teasing me… while talking naa?!!! Now…I am not going to listen to your stupid things…!! Bye…!! I need to cook…!! ”
Ragini and I started laughing…as she was escaping from us and going to kitchen…!!
Ragini(laughing): “Haha…by the way jiju…!! What you said is exactly correct…!! I am really on a lunch date with my boyfriend…!!”
Me(laughing): “Ragini…please…!! Don’t try to fool me with my own words…!! Enjoy your outside lunch with your friend…!! Now I got a big task of making your sister cool…Or else I won’t get my biryani…!!Bye…!!”
Ragini(smiling): “Ok…bye jiju…!! All the best for your task…!!Talk to you later…!!”
Cutting the call… I looked ‘HER’…who is busy in talking herself angrily while cooking…probably scolding both of us…!! But now…it has become common for me… and I very well knew how to cool her too…!!
@@@@@@@@@
Buying two candies… I moved towards the beach….where my beloved is already sitting and enjoying the evening breezes….!!
In her white chudidhaar… perfectly fitting her body….and round silver rings…hanging to her ears… and a matching white round bindhi…on her forehead…with a adorable smile on face…she has been looking like an angel just now descended from heaven…!!
In addition to that…the setting sun rays falling on her face…making her glitter much more…. and the sea breezes making her few hair strands fly in air… are attracting me to focus my eyes on her only…forgetting the surroundings…!!
“Sanskar…!!” she called as soon as she saw me…. by making me come to my senses..!! I handed her one candy and sat beside her on sand… giving company to her…!!
“There are many places to spend time…!! Why do you always want to come to beach??!!” I started conversation…!!
Swara(smiling): “Because I like it soo much…!! It always attracts me…!! When I come here… I just forget all the tensions, confusions…everything…!!This atmosphere always soothes me…!!Whenever I feel lonely or worried … I come here alone …!!”
I felt soo happy…as she was telling herself about her…!!Why wouldn’t I??!! I might be friend to her… but she is more than friend to me…!!
I turned her face… and asked… “You consider me as your friend right??!!”
Swara(surprised): “Offcourse..!! What’s that question??!!! In fact…I must say… you are the one… I feel close after Ragini…!!”
Me: “Ok…!! Promise me… from next time onwards… if you feel sad or worried… you should share with me too…!!”
Swara(laughing): “Ooo…common…!! When I used stay alone…. I used to become sad…remembering my family…that too when I started my life in Bombay…!! Later on…I got adjusted….!!Life is short dude… and I would rarely waste this precious time in becoming sad…!!
Swara(winking): “Morever when a friend like you is with me… why would I become sad??!!”
Me(teasing): “Yaah…!! You are correct… why will you become sad??!! Morever you are enjoying life… torturing me…!!It’s me who is sad…being with you…!!”
Me(fake cry): “OOH…God…!! Please listen to my prayers and save me from this monster…!!”
Swara(holding my ear): “Oooh…really??!! I am torturing you??!!! How??!!”
Me(continuing fake cry): “Ahhh… Swara…!! It’s paining…!! Yess…!! You are making me do all the works… which I have never done before….!! I am cutting vegetables, ironing clothes and sometimes cleaning utensils…!! See… now also…you are pricking my ear and started your torture…!!”
Swara(still holding ear): “So… what are expecting??!! I will do all the works and you just sit and eat the food I have made??!!! I am not your typical house wife ok??!! Marry someone… who do all your works… after I leave you…!!”
I angrily jerked her hand immediately… and said…“Shut up…!!”
Swara(shocked): “What happened??!! I am just teasing you…!! Why are you becoming serious??!!”
“Nothing…!!” I said hiding my emotions…!! How can I say her…. that she will be the only person in my life… and I can’t even think about marrying someone…after our separation….!!
As she was about to say something… someone called us… helping me to escape from this situation…!!
“Swara…Sanskar…!! How are you??!!” we heard a voice and turned our face…!!
Swara(surprised): “Aaap…!! How are you both??!! It’s such a long time…!!”
Saying this she hugged both of them…!! They are the old house owners of swara…!!
Me(happily hugging): “Hi…Aunty and uncle…!! How are you both??!!”
Owner’s wife(smiling): “We both are fine beta…!! Looks like we disturbed your privacy it seems…!!”
Swara(smiling): “Auntyyyyy…!! What are you saying??!!”
We all spoke together sometime…!! Bidding bye to us… they both walked together…holding each other’s hands…!! Then we both started walking in opposite direction…and I spoke…!!
Me(thinking): “Swara…!! You told that you won’t believe in long- lasting relationships right??!! Then what about that aunty and uncle??!! Don’t you think they both are happy… after staying together these many years???!!”
Swara(laughing): “Like my sister… you also started give me lectures and examples on this…!! Those couple are not our generation dude… where generally…. falling in love and breaking up later is just a cup of tea…!!”
Me(seriouly): “What are you saying???!!”
Swara(controlling laugh): “Heyy…cool down…!! I just said general cases of love in our generation..!! Off course…I know…that is not at all love…and just attraction..!! May be true love is something different…!!
Ok..Ok.. let me contradict you with an example of their generation only…!! What do you feel about our present house owner… who has been living along with her paralysed husband??!!! Do you think she is very happy… seeing her husband like that and taking care of him??!!!”
Me(shocked): “It’s a very rare case…!! ”
Swara(cutting off): “Exactly…even I feel… it’s also a very rare case of living together happily till the end…!!”
Me: “We can’t predict future…!! It’s her fate…!!”
Swara: “Woww…!! You are pointing about her fate…!! Even I would say that it’s that couple’s luck… that they got understanding partners…!! And what you are saying is exactly correct…!! We can’t predict what might happen after marriage…!!
They might not be able to love each other…!! Even if they love…may be in future… their love disappears making both the lives miserable…!! You know what… in those cases… there are chances of going to extra-marital relationships…breaking each other’s trust…!!Or like our owner… their life may become painful if something happens to the partner…!!
I feel…the more we make relations… the more life gets complicated…!! My family is enough for me… and I don’t want anyone else to influence my life…!!”
Me: “But swara…!!”
Swara(pissed off): “Sanskar… please!!! enough of this…!! You may feel my thoughts as stupid… but they are not wrong…!! I am not influencing anyone with my thoughts… and I never oppose marriages too…!!
According to me…love and marriage are two linked things… which are very complicated and difficult to understand until you experience them…!! And I never want to understand them too…!!
I believe that… after marriage… we don’t know how our life is going to be…!! There are many things like love, fate, understanding, adjustments etc…etc..!! But finally we can’t predict of being happy at the end…!! But…If I stay alone…I am sure that I am going to enjoy my life… according to my wish…!!
You know what… I am happier staying here in Bombay… rather than with my parents…even though initially I missed them…!! It’s because I am independent…and I want my life to be like this only…simple…happy and fun…!!”
Saying this…. she started moving forward… without bothering about me… while I stood back… starring at her shockingly…!!
I already lost the hope of making her love me and accept this relation…before only…!! But I also want her to be in front of me…!! So…I asked to be me as friend…!! Even though it’s heart breaking that she would leave me later… I felt it good to be with her as a friend…!!
I started this discussion thinking to change her opinion at least… but finally she confused me with her words…!!
Ufffff…!! My brain got heated like anything…!! It’s better not to start discussion about this matter…next time…!! Or else…I am sure I am going to join mental hospital…!!
