Vivah: A journey from being strangers to soulmates (Part 13)

Part 13: You speak too much

SwaSan went to their respective rooms. Ragini, swara and aryan were sleeping in swara’s room; sanskar, laksh and arjun in arjun’s room; sujata and shomi in Shemish’s room and rp and shekhar in the guest room.

Swara was thinking about how sanskar said that ‘he will fall in love with her soon’. This mere statement increased swara’s heartbeat. Swara has always respected the feeling of love and she thinks that it is one of the most beautiful feeling but she never expected that someone will love her and she might love him back. Yes, she is also slowly falling for him. She can’t name this feeling as love yet but she is sure that she will also fall in love with him.

Whereas sanskar was also smiling like a teenage lover boy as he confessed what he feels for her and what place she holds in his heart. When she said ‘yes’, he was also sure that she also has same feelings for him as he as for her. He also holds some place in her heart as she holds in his heart.

A constant smile was playing on both of their lips. Soon the sleep took over them slept thinking about each other and their feelings for each other.

NEXT MORNING…

It was about 6.30 am… there was a girl on the terrace watering plants and humming song peacefully. A happy, contagious smile was playing on her lips. She was wearing yellow anarkali suit with matching earrings. Little water droplet we’re dropping from her wet hair… and it was none other then our innocent Swara. The birds were chirping around, all set to hunt food for themselves, the sun was out but the sky was still little orange and little yellow. The cool fresh breeze was touching her face.

She started watering the plants which were near the door of the terrace. She didn’t notice someone coming upstairs.

It was sanskar who just took bath and came upstairs to have some fresh air. He was wearing jeans and vest as he thought that no one will be on the terrace. When he reached the terrace, he heard someone humming with her melodious voice. He turned around and saw only swara’s back. At the same swara turned around and little water wet on sanskar as the watering pot was little tilted.

Swara was widened her eyes in shock. She cupped her mouth with her hand. Whereas sanskar was looking at his wet vest. He slowly looked upwards and smiled seeing swara’s cute expression. Swara noticed that he is in vest and pant… she immediately turned around facing her back towards sanskar.

Swara (worriedly): I am so…so sorry, I didn’t know that you are standing behind me. I made you wet… I am really sorry…

Like this swara kept blabbering. Sanskar was trying to speak but she wasn’t letting him due to her continuous blabbering. Now sanskar had enough, he held her elbow and turned her around. He put his finger on her soft lips.

When swara felt his warm rough long finger on her lips, her stomach started churning and shivers ran through her whole body.

Sanskar: shhh…How you much talk? You were not even giving me chance to speak. I never knew that you speak so much. And why were saying sorry, I know that you will never do it intentionally. I have also told you that no sorry and no thank you for my closed ones and (gazing her intensely) you are one of those people who are really close to me.

Swara, who was all time gazing at his finger on her lips, immediately raised her head and looked into his eyes. Both of them got lost in each other’s eyes. After few seconds, Swara lowered her eyes and started down at the floor nervously.

Sanskar was confused at first but the realised that he has kept his finger on her lips and he is in his vest and jeans. He immediately removed his finger. They were feeling little awkward, little embarrassed and of course a constant blush was playing on their cheeks.

Sanskar: umm…I am sorry for that…

Saying this he goes away. Swara slowly touched her lips where Sanskar put his finger. Her lips formed into a shy smile.

She goes downstairs after watering the plants. She goes to their house temple and stars preparing thali for arti. Till then ragini also came.

Ragini: good morning Swara

Swara replies with a sweet smile, “good morning bhabhi.”

Ragini: you also do arti every morning.

Swara: Ji, you also do arti every morning

Ragini: of course, this makes the whole day happy and peaceful

Swara smiles and starts singing arti in her melodious voice.

Radhe Krishna Ki Jyoti Alaukik Tino Lok Mein Chhaaye Rahi Hai
Bhakti Vivash Ek Prem Pujaarin Phir Bhi Deep Jalaaye Rahi Hai
Krishna Ko Gokul Se Radhe Ko

Krishna Ko Gokul Se Radhe Ko
Barasaane Se Bulaaye Rahi Hai

(Listening to her beautiful voice everyone came to the temple and stood behind her… with their hands joined together)

Dono Karo Swikaar Kripaa Kar Jogan Aarati Gaaye Rahi Hai
Dono Karo Swikaar Kripaa Kar Jogan Aarati Gaaye Rahi Hai
Bhor Bhaye Ti Saanj Dhale Tak Sevaa Kaun Itane Mahaamaro

Snaan Karaaye Wo Vastra Odhaaye Vo Bhog Lagaaye Wo Laagat Pyaaro

Kabase Niharat Aapaki Aur – 2 Ki Aap Hamaari Aur Nihaaron
Raadhe Krishnaa Hamaare Dhaam Ko Jaani Vrindaawan Dhaam Padhaaro
Raadhe Krishnaa Hamaare Dhaam Ko Jaani Vrindaawan Dhaam Padhaaro

Swara finished the arti and turned around. She saw everyone standing and smiling.

Sujata: wah Swara! Your voice is so beautiful… I think we will never get enough.

Swara smiles and started giving prasad to everyone. The elders went away. Swara bent down on her knees to give prasad to aryan.

Aryan (cutely): Chachi… can I please have two ladoo

Ragini: aryan!

Aryan: mumma pleaseee… only today

Swara: bhabhi… he is a kid… see how he is pleading

Aryan makes a puppy face.

Ragini (sighs): only today

Aryan (happily): thank you mumma

Swara gave two ladoo to aryan.

Swara (giving ladoos to aryan): happy

Aryan: very happy Chachi (kissed her cheek) thank you

Raglak, Arjun and Sanskar admired their bond.

Then she gave prasad to ragini, laksh and Arjun. The trio went away with aryan.

Then Swara gave prasad to Sanskar and then turned to put the plate down. But Sanskar didn’t move from there as he noticed that no prasad was left for her in the plate.

Swara turned around and looked at him questioningly as he was still standing there.

Sanskar: there is no prasad left for you

Swara: it’s okay

Sanskar: but not for me… prasad is for everyone and it is like a blessing from god… forward your hand

Swara looked at him with admiration in her eyes. He is such a rich businessman and his thoughts are so deep.

Sanskar: what are you thinking Swara?

Swara: umm… nothing

Sanskar: then put your hands forward

Swara was confused as no prasad was left but she still did it. Sanskar halved the ladoo in his hand and gave it to swara.

Sanskar gave a smile and went away while Swara kept looking at his retreating figure.

Precap:

Sanskar’s foot twisted and was going to fall down. Swara saw him falling down

Swara: Sanskar!

Swar held his hand but alas she too fell down with him on the green grass. They rolled a little due to the sloppy ground.

Swara was on top of Sanskar, who was hiding her face in his chest with eyes closed whereas Sanskar was gazing at swara…

That’s it for today…
