(Hi people as we promised for an update before eid so here it is Eid Mubarik to everyone who celebrates and remember us in your prayers)
=================
The person hugged him so tight that he almost lost his breath.
“Calm down lucky i cant hold it anymore” with that laksh moved little away from him still putting his one arm around his neck
“Man when Ragini told me somebody wants to see me i thought it would be some hot chick but here i found who? You!” Ragini glare him in response making Sanskar giggle.
“By the way dude what are you doing here at Maheshwaris’ place?” Laksh continued with the same tone.
“Thats bad manner laksh” Sanskar untangled his arm from his neck ” you cant ask people what they are doing at their own house. Thats rude” he paused “BTW it Sanskar Maheshwari elder son of ram and sujata maheshwari” he hung out his hand as if he was introducing himself for the first time. And the dumb Laksh was about to take his hand when the reality stuck him. The hand which was going for the hand shake travelled to his mouth. He was shocked beyond limits. He then stuck out his finger and pointed at sanskar and then at swara then again at sanskar everybody was confused at laksh’s this state while Sanskar just nodded with a smile.
He was still shocked when he faced Ragini
“Are you sure this is the guy you guys have selected for Swara’s marriage” Ragini who was confused by the senerio just nodded in reply he again faced sanskar with the best smile on his face.
“Shona everything I said yesterday I just take my words back there is no chance that you are letting this guy go. This man is definitely the best piece on Earth. Do you understand that” Laksh was just appreciating and smile.
“Jeej please don’t tell me you are interested in guys yukh” Swara gave him a disgusted look.
“If I were would I have ever let this man go” with this he almost jumped on sanskar for another hug.
“Shoo away just cut that crap you are getting creepier” sanskar with much efforts freed himself from his grip ” don’t you dare come near me again, stay at an arm’s length”
With that sanskar took a seat on the sofa and Laksh too went back to his original place. Swara having no other option sat besides sanskar.
“God” Laksh was still saying dreamily “I can’t believe these turn of events like seriously I just found my friend Sanskar Maheshwari the SM of the Karmas is here with a marriage proposal for my sister in law…..” he Continued the same way but everybody’s attention was stuck on the same line ‘SM of the Karmas’. Sanskar just flinched at his place he knew what was coming when all eyes in the hall were on him. He gave a innocent smile and by this time Laksh who was still blabbering gathered the situation.
“Oh so that’s still a secret but oops I just spoiled it” Laksh gave him a winning look in reply to which sanskar just glared him.
Sanskar’s POV
I’ll see you later dude and this time nobody can save you from my wrath. But before that I have to save myself first, Mom will kill me for sure and the way these people are looking at me this is going to be damn tough. Buckle up sanskar. Time to face it.
But before he could say another word his eyes landed on the person he hadn’t noticed yet those eyes they had the most different emotions from the rest. They belonged to RAM MAHESHWARI. The eyes were proud but no there was more to it. There was a guilt and this time he was sure it was not for distrusting him but they had a different story which he was totally unaware of. The moment he saw those eyes he felt to be the most confident person on earth. But Ram just went away but the courage he imparted to him didn’t. He just smiled to himself.
“All types of queries and scoldings are welcome” he said moving a little forward on his place.
He look around to find the questioning eyes of his mother who was still shocked. He went on his knees in front of her and took her hands in his.
“I was going to tell you by showing you everything I had made on my own and make you feel proud of your son” he smiled to her then kissed her knuckles and then again continued while glaring at Laksh “but this donkey Lucky just spilt the beans idiot”
“Woah what’s my fault in that Aunty it’s been days he is back he should have told you already” Laksh was now whining like a baby.
“Ignore him Mom. I just know one thing that what so ever the way you got to know about it you are still proud of me and are really happy and you still love me more than anyone on the earth. Right?” Sujata just smiled to his childishness.
“Hasee to phasee” and he ingulfed her into a tight hug making Sujata giggle. When he parted she took his face in her hands and kissed him on his forehead giving a genuine smile.
Something else strike his mind he turned back to where he was priorly sitting and his eyes met another pair of eye which were finely disguised blank but he knew that there was a sea of emotions behind it. Before he could address her the audience already had started with some other discuss. For the first time in life he was feeling attracted towards a girl and her ignorance was making him feel bad. Tit for tat Mr. Maheshwari she is revenging you for all those girls in the college that were behind you.
The day went by with loads of gossips and fun. And now the time for the guests to leave was close. Sanskar noticed that swara was talking very less and he himself too had spoilt many thing he was looking for a chance to speak to her. Finally he found her alone in the garden.
“Swara” she was startled by his voice. She gave him a single look but didnt say anything. “Ummm…. actually I wanted to sayy…. a aa ….. i am sorry for that.. i knew it that you didnt really wanted me to do that so just tried to play along i hope i didnt hurt you” he was looking at her with pleading eyes while she just had some blank expressions.
“You are right Mr. Maheshwari I didnt really wanted you to do something like that but even after not considering the situation I had already made my mind for the decision. And let me tell you my fandom for the success and hardwork of SM will surely not change. I am firm with the decision i have already made”
“You did. Will you tell me that?” He was again almost pleading her.
“Telling the decision straight away would make me look ill mannered and rude” ‘ill mannered and rude’ he knew the decision.
“No its just that if you tell me clearly that its a no then i can help you with it”
“Oh really will getting rejected by a girl hurt SM’s ego?” She raised her one brow and the moment sanskar felt a race in his heart beat. The girl was doing something to him.
He just smiled to it and was about to leave but turned back one last time. “I just want to say that I’ll have no bad feelings for you even on rejection. You are a nice girl and everyone has a right to do what they want” he again smiled but this time swara stopped him.
“Wait a minute Mr. SM i am still not done” she came closer to him “you cannot go that easily after pranking swara khanna, just wait for the revenge baby” her voice was so husky that for a minute his breath hitched in his throat. By the time he was back in his senses she had left. He ruffled his own hairs and followed her in.
After some time the ladies along with Laksh said their byes to the Maheshwaris. By 5 in the evening they had reached back the Sehgals’ place. From that time she locked herself in her room without talking to anybody. Ragini tried many times to talk to her but everything appeared useless while Laksh just instructed everyone to give her sometime to think.
It was 10 in the night when sujata called Ragini telling her that it was a yes from Sanskar’s side and they were just waiting for Swara’s reply. This time again laksh didnt let anyone go to Swara’s room. He just texted her.
“Sanskar said yes. They are waiting for your reply. Do you need time” – Laksh
There was a complete silence for 15 min after which he received a reply from swara.
“I am thinking” – Swara
“Any advice from your side?” – Swara
“If i say seriously then the thing is i know both of you quite well and i think you guys will be best match with the compatibility i foresee i guess yes would be a better option but still don’t think about my opinion its your life so the opinion must be yours as well. If you need time no problem I’ll handle here ☺ m repeating it your happiness is the only thing that matters.” – Laksh
“There is no compulsion”- Laksh
He took a deep breath while keeping the phone on the side table giving an assuring smile to the people looking at him desperately.
Another 15 minutes passed and his phone beeped.
This time everyone gathered around him to see the progress.
He opened his phone hiding his phone screen with one hand as he peeped in. A smiled crept his face he looked up to the worried faces and gave a thumbs up and the hall echoed with roars of congratulations. Well the message was
“Call Mrs. Maheshwari and tell her that Swara wants a simple engagement that too before her leave end which is on this Tuesday and for wedding they can decide whatever they want. If thats ok i dont have any problem” – Swara
He was about to type when another messenge popped up.
“And no need to write them I’ll just anser you one by one
1. No its not an emotional or hasty decision i said that with my firm heart
2. Your advice didn’t influenced it. I just wanted someone who supported my decision with same faith and remind me the reality of my relationship with him.
3. A number of incidents that may look small to the world happened today which gave me the courage to take the step
4. The idea of engagement as well is not hasty. I think when I am sure about it there is no reason for delay and keeping it low profile will make it warm with just the family.
I just hope there is no more to it.
Wait there is.. i want to thank you for being an elder brother or better say a supportive elder brother. I agree you are the worst human being God sent to the planet and you are the weirdest and the most irritating one but still your this sister loves you ❤❤” – Swara
His heart melted the moment he read it. He was her parents’ only child but with arrival of Ragini in his life he had got swara as well. They had a true sibling’s bond where they can tease irritate annoy and even trouble each other but when it comes to an outsider they were each other’s strength.
===========
Life was taking new turns in Swara’s life new people new relations and even an entirely ne world. She couldn’t deny the stress and worries she had inside but alongside there was another thing in there a gut feeling that told her that it was going to be the best decision of her life.
