My Secret Lover
||Chapter||
Next day
Swra and Sanskar both were attending their respective classes
Sanskar was immersed in his studies whereas Swara was trying to concentrate on her studies
She was tensed that what would happen if Sanskarwouldo have got something which he should not get from that book however she knew that there was nothing like that in that book but still this thought worried her
After some time
It was lunch break by now and Swara was running here and there to find Sanskar but she was not able to find him, she checked in the canteen and asked one of his classmate but no use
He was also not knowing about Sanskar’s whereabouts
It seemed as if he vanished somewhere, fear was evident on her face
She had information about Sanskar to quite an extent for Sanskar Swara was none but for Swara he was almost everything
After which seemed like a very long search to Swara, a thought struck her that he could be in the library
Without wasting much time she rushed towards the library and at last found him sitting on the same bench where they sat a day before
He was copying something from a book it looked
Swara went towards him and was about to tap his shoulder but she withdrew her hand back
Swara: Excuse me
Sanskar turned and recognized her as Swara,i.e the girl with whom he shared the book a day before
Sanskar: Oh Hi! Yesterday you left your book here so I kept it with me,
Wait a minute here it is (searched something in his bag) here take it(passing it to her)
Swara: thank you (with a smile)
Sanskar returned a smile back, Swara was about to leave when he said
Sanskar: Excuse me!
Swara turned
Swara: Yes?
Sanskar: Actually I know it is not good look into someone else’s property but I read your book and I found some incomplete assignments
Reading which I came to a point that you must be having some problem in doing them actually while you were working yesterday I realized that you’re quite studious (said everything with a genuine smile and in a single flow)
Swara: thank you, yes I’m not getting those assignments,It would be really helpful of you if you could…(left the sentence incomplete in order to let him understand on his own, sge didn’t know how to ask him to help her)
Sanskar: ofcourse… (Thought for a second)after college…library?
Swara: sure..
thank you (gave a warm smile)
As the conversation was complete she didn’t know whether to go..or
After a minute which seemed like an hour to her,she turned to go
When he spoke making her turn again
Sanskar: by the way I’m Sanskar…. Sanskar Maheshwari
Swara: (Swara extended her hand and said ) Swara …. Swara Dubey
(Sanskar shook hand with her )
Sanskar: yeah I know yoir name(Swara gave a confused look) … I saw on your book
******************
Library
Swasan were sitting on a bench discussing about the project
Sanskar was explaining her something and Swara was noting that
Sanskar was quite impressed with her answers and knowledge she was intelligent and very dedicated towards studies
Swara was also somewhere happy to be with him but one thing which she decided was not to tell him anything about her feelings
She decided not to get close to him, that will complicate things for her as well as for him
The time ran so fast that it was evening now and the library was about to close
Sanskar: Finally completed
Swara: thank you so much Sanskar, I was worried about this, we had to submit it next week
You really moved a big burden of mine
Sanskar : no need to be thankful, I love completing these assignments and above that you are from my branch only so never mind
Saying this he left
Swara after packing her bag moved towards the exit
***********************
Swara was standing on the road waiting for some cab to come when a car stopped before her
She looker towards that car and then the person driving the car slid the glass window Down
He was revealed to be Sanskar
Swara sighed in relief
Sanskar: what happened you didn’t go till now
Swara: Ya actually I was not getting any cab here
Sanskar: Oh
Awkward silence started prevailing between them.
Sanskar wanted to offer her help but didn’t know how to ask, they are not even friends
And Swara was not knowing what to speak
At last gathering some courage he said
Sanskar: Umm shall I drop you?
Swara : No Sanskar it’s okay I’ll go … you don’t worry
Sanskar: we don’t know when you will get some cab
And its getting dark now, I won’t mind dropping you
Swara looked towards the sky and he was right it was getting dark so she hesitatingly agreed
Swara: Okay thank you Sanskar, but I owe you a favor
Sanskar: no need of formality Swara
Okay wait
He extended his hand
Sanskar: So friends?
Swara was shocked and was in dilemma What to do
She confusingly said
yes
Sanskar: Okay so as we are friends now no thank you and no sorry and now you don’t owe any favor to me
Now get in fast
Sanskar opened the door for her and Swara got in
Sanskar asked her about the address when he came to know that they lived in same apartments but different blocks
He remembered that he saw her many times there but never noticed keenly
During the journey
Sanskar: You daily go by a cab
Swara: no actually I go via car but today I gave it for service
They asked me to pick it tomorrow
Sanskar:Oh,
I never noticed you much although we live in adjacent blocks
Swara:(slowly) You never notice people especially girls
Sanskar: You said something
Swara:(stammered) no… No… Nothing…Why?
Sanskar : nothing I thought
( Swara turned her face and started looking outside the window)
Here Sanskar was suppressing his laugh because he heard What she said
***********************
Night
Sanskar’s room
Sanskar was lying on his bed and thinking about today’s day
He was thinking that about Swara’s impressive nature which didn’t fail to impress him as well
He was thinking that she is different from other girls
And lastly her comment on him when he said about not noticing her
He smiled and soon dozed off to sleep
**************************
