“Swara are you ready?” Sanskar asked coming out from washroom. His attention fetch to Swara who’s drying her hair with dryer. Water droplets on her face which radiant her beauty, mesmerised him. She applies mascara to her sparkling eyes and strawberry flavour lipsticks to her soft petal lips. But nothing to her face. Nevertheless, she’s the epitome of beauty. ‘How can someone look so beautiful?’, he thought in his mind. Glimpse of her is enough to cripple his lips into a smile.
Like magnetic attraction, unknowingly his leg pace near her with smile. He adore her neck with mangalsutra. After that take a pinch of sindhur, he applies it on her forehead and put red round bindi. He suddenly step back realising what he did while Swara was more busy in recollecting what just happened. A shade of pink appears on her face. Both share awkward moment. He clears his throat.
“That……. get ready soon.” He fumbles for words. Swara smiles seeing him running away from room.
“Duffer….” She sees her reflection in mirror stares mangalsutra and touch her forehead. She couldn’t help, but blush! Her face goes even redder than already has, if that was even possible. Change is already happening to her. Without her knowledge, she’s giving chance to their relation.
Their journey to college went silent. Silence filled in-car. No one dared to break silence. Sometimes it’s better to just remain silent.
She eyes him whose eyes fixed on road. Her lips parted, but no words come out.
He cared her when she hurts him in her words.
She treated him as stranger, still he was same caring.
He was there for when she need him.
Yes. He deserves a chance and she’s going to give it. She thought in her mind with smile inflict on her face.
He called her name bringing her back from trance “Swaraaa we reached College.”
☆▪☆▪☆
“I’m worried about her. It’s been a week but there’s no trace of her.” Ragini said over call. Whosoever would be in tension, if suddenly someone stop attending college all of sudden and that too when if it’s our friend. Ragini is no exception to it.
“Don’t worry about her. She had flu. Now her temperature reduced. She will come college from today. You just concentrate the work for which you there.” Her phone almost dropped seeing Swara in front of her.
Did she heard her talks? No way right! But her serious look said otherwise.
“You’re hiding something from me?” It was statement than a question. The sweat drench on her face, she wipes it instantly. She shook her head.
“Gosh! Look at your face. It’s like you caught while stealing.” With that she hugged Ragini “I missed you Rags.” It wasn’t lie. She did missed Ragini ramblings. Of course Sanskar was around her 24*7 in these weeks. But it’s different around with silent monster. Obviously he’s good company, but his silent nature is only a thing what she hated in him.
“I missed you too. You ok na? Heard you caught flu?” Her tone filled with concern.
“A week with special care of hitler is more enough to reduce my temperature.” She said remembering Sanskar care. A smile formed on her face. Ragini looks her in confusion. But Swara blush enough to say answer who took care of her.
“Let’s go. We are getting late to class.” Said Swara dragging Ragini with her.
After completion of class, she walked out of college with Ragini gossiping. “You’re lucky to have Sanskar as husband.” Ragini said out of blue. Swara looked her with confusion, then to the way she gazing only to see Sanskar waiting for her.
Indeed! She’s lucky to have him as husband.
Woah! Did she really said husband.
Is that mean her heart starting to accept him as husband.
They start walking towards him. “You know him?” The question come out from Swara mouth.
“Swara are you kidding? Who not know Sanskar Maheshwari in world. You’re husband is business tycoon who gave new definition to business.” It’s too much information to her to take. What kind of wife she is who knew nothing about her husband. Forget about wife she don’t even fit as his best friend. Was she too much involved with Sahil and her love life she forget her friend? She silently thought tiptoeing towards him.
“Sanskar meet Ragini and Ragini you know him already. Sanskar my husband.” She formally introduced both.
“Swara I know Ragini. She’s Laksh fiancée.” That’s it. Volcano ready to blast. Laksh got engaged and didn’t bother to tell her. How can he hide it from her.
“Ragini can you please dial number of your fiancé.” She said with extra sweet voice. Sanskar gasps knowing what’s coming next.
“Yes baby……”
“Lux.. Idiot.. Stupid.. moron… donkey… monkey…” She shrieks over phone. Ragini and Sanskar close their ears with hands.
“Sonu baby please calm down. My ear is bleeding.” He pleaded. Poor Laksh! His eardrum is about to burst hearing her shout.
“I’m not done lux. I thought we are friends. How can you not tell me about your engagement? Am I stranger to you?” She said last part in low voice.
“Sonu I’m sorry about that. To be honest, even I don’t know about engagement. All things happened all of sudden I didn’t get chance to tell anyone. I’ll tell everything when we will meet. Now I gotta go I have important meeting. Take care. Bye.” He said hanging the call.
“Enough my lioness. I think we should go home.” Swara hugs Ragini congratulating for her engagement. Then leave with Sanskar.
☆▪☆▪☆
A person wearing hoodie sees everything. He clench his fist and hits wall. He calls his boss.
“Boss we again lost a chance. It’s difficult to kidnap her with supervision of ACP Sighania. More over Sanskar himself comes to drop her and pick her.”
“I just don’t care whether ACP or president. I want Swara at any cost.” The person yelled over phone.
☆▪☆▪☆
Their journey back to home went in silent. Sanskar looks at Swara who’s lost in deep thought.
“Swara what are you thinking?”
“Isn’t it strange how our life takes unexpected twist and turn. We never know what future store for us.” She said recollecting their marriage. How her life turned topsy-turvy in one day.
His eyes widen hearing her serious talk about life. Is the world going to end?
“Shona I think you still have fever.”
“Duffer……..” she mutters, he smiles hearing it.
“If life goes as per our planning there’s no fun. Unexpected things in life what makes life more interesting. Now please don’t talk about life and all. It’s unlike you.” Indeed! Swara and philosophy are not good combination.
She opens door and walks out off car. “Where you going?” His gaze shift to ice-cream parlour, he frowns. He has no chance than following her.
“Not even think about it.”
“Sanskar I want ice-cream.” She said in baby voice. His heart almost melt.
“Not again. We done with this talk yesterday. ” His words make remind her their fight on ice-cream. Lastly she remembers his promise to let her eat ice-cream.
“As if I’m gonna hear you. You can’t stop me. Yo promised me remember.” He curses himself. Before he can reply, she drags him along with her.
“Two chocolate sundaes.”
“I don’t want.”
“Who said it was for you?”
He eyes sundue, no matter how much he deny. The glimpse of Sundae enough to water his mouth. Age doesn’t diminish having a scoop of ice-cream.
“What? No way…. you gonna have two of them.” He snatch one from her start eating. She chuckled and eat hers. Having ice-cream after a week, she looked delighted to that. She eats like its her first time. Her child gesture make her more adorable. Sometimes little things enough to capture ones eyes.
Sanskar couldn’t take his eyes from her, he admires the way she eating it. Smile forms on his face. There’s no deny he’s smitten by her! Not know about her, but he already dipped into the ocean of love.

“He get married to his love? ” her mind asked.
“The photos which got leaked in last day shows that Sanskar and his love is having a good time with each other.” They show swasan pic in that they’re close and seemed to happy. Kavitha got next mini attack to watch her little sister with Sanskar, surely she said them to marry. But she didn’t really thought they will marry in real.

“Sanskar’s espousal fixed with Kavitha, but at the last moment bride got changed and he got married to her younger sister Swara.”
The report came with pic of Kavitha’s after swasan marriage pic.
” Kavitha?” Now it was too much to him to grasp. He was with someone who spoiled his life.
Kavitha look at Sahil who don’t know how to react. “I’m sorry Sahil, I didn’t had any other option than saying a lie, I’m Kavitha.”
“You’re the elder sis of Swara?” Sahil asked without giving damn to her talking. She nodded
Splasssshhhh
Sahil slap her hard! His fingers imprint in her face.
“You know what you did? You got my love married to your fiancé.”
Now it’s her turn to get shock, “Your love?” It clear her like crystal. Swara, Sahil love and Her sister is one and same.
“Your sis, Swara she is the one whom I love !!” He yelled at her making her to flinch.
” I’m…… soo…orry Sahil. Because of me……” He pays no heed to her words. A glint of hurt flash in his eyes but it changes to anger seeing her.
“Shut up, just shut up.”
“But, how? She seemed to happy in this pic? Married to his love what was that about?” Kavitha asked frm no where making Sahil to look at swasan pic which they look happy.
