Chapter 18

Recap: Swara and Sanskar in Siya’s PTA meeting…

He was driving back to the home. Siya was still on Swara’s lap, leaned on her quietly. Sanskar looked at Swara who was busy in staring outside…..
Sanskar: (clearing his throat) Miss Bose…
Swara: (turned back with his voice) hmmm….
Sanskar: (staring her for some time) thank you
Swara: (surprised) for what?
Sanskar: (softly) for bringing the best out of Siya…. You are perfect for her probably the best….
Swara: (little surprised with his praise) it is for what you brought me here… I am just doing my work
Sanskar: but still thanks for everything….
Swara: (smiles) your welcome
What an irony the man who was accusing her for being irresponsible and regarded her as a mistake just a couple of days ago now considering her best for his daughter… she was bemused with his demeanor “What are you Mr. Maheshwari?” this question kept on bugging her… again silence prevailed between them but today this silence wasn’t haunting them…..

Next day, Evening time, Siya’s room

Swara: Siya since your mid terms are next month so we have to work harder…. Now more of study and less of fun, ok dear…. So tomorrow after your school, we will start early
Siya: tomorrow is my holiday…
Swara: (little surprised) what for?.…. Tomorrow is not a festive day or anything
Siya: I said it’s my holiday not school holiday…. My whole class is going for an outing
Swara: (confused) and you are not going?
Siya: (sadly) dad will not allow me…. he didn’t like it….
Swara: (patting her cheek) do you like it?
Siya: (excitement can be seen in her eyes) Yes off course…. I also want to enjoy with my friends…. they always had so much fun there…. (She paused for a while and then looked at Swara) Shona di will you convince dad for me…
Swara: (shocked) Me!!!
Siya: (innocently) please for me….. just for once
She couldn’t refuse to those innocent eyes the way they were looking up to her to lend a hand.
Swara: (smiles) Ok dear I will try….
Siya: (squealing) promise?
Swara: (holding her hand) promise…
Siya: (giving her a tight hug) you are the best……
Swara smiled at her excitement but the thing bothering her was that how she would convince that opinionated man…. It wasn’t an easy task….

Evening, Sanskar’s study

Since past fifteen minutes she was pacing up and down in the corridor thinking about how to inter in lion’s den. Mustering all her courage she embattled herself for the new mission. She knew it won’t be easy for her to persuade him but she has to do it for Siya after all she has promised her, though it was almost like committing a suicide for her. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and moved to his study. She peeped inside the door and saw him engrossed in some files. Nervously she knocked the door….
He was all busy in reading some project details when he heard a knock on the door without looking he said “come in”….
She stepped inside and stood in front of him. Giving a casual look to her he again started looking in his files… she was silently chiding him for his cold demeanor. For a fraction of second she thought to back off but then she recalled Siya’s pleading eyes and geared herself again…
“Ask what you want to” he said while his gaze still fixed on his work…
Swara: (shocked) how do you know I came here to ask for something?
Sanskar: (turning the pages) because I know you wouldn’t like to spend your time in chit chatting with me like you do with others here…
“This shrewd man never leaves a chance to taunt me, can’t he just keep things simple between me and him” she thought
Swara: (softly) actually, In Siya’s school tomorrow is an outing day for her class. I want you to permit her to go…
As soon as he heard his all attention shifted from his work to her. He looked at her in disbelief…
Sanskar: (baffled) What!!!
Swara: (little scared) she really wanted to go…
Sanskar: (stern voice) Miss Bose, what you did for Siya that’s commendable and I am grateful to you for that but that doesn’t mean you can interfere in her life….I am her father and I am here to take care of her wishes and wants. If she wants to visit that place I will take her there but she won’t go there with her class…
Swara: (annoyed) Why don’t you understand Mr. Maheshwari it’s not about just visiting the place. It’s about enjoying with your same peer group… it’s necessary for her development.
Sanskar: (angry eyes) Are you questioning me as a father?
Swara: (calmly) I am not questioning anyone… I am just trying to tell you that your over possessiveness is abstaining your daughter from enjoying her childhood…
Offended with her accusations he stood up angrily, held her shoulder’s tightly and yelled…
Sanskar: I don’t need suggestion from an amateur person like you on how to raise my daughter…
She wasn’t expecting this outburst from him…. Her eyes brimmed with tears, she was scared. When he felt her shivering he quickly removed his hand and turned to other side trying to calm himself… she was in shock… it was the first time somebody treated her like that. But she was also a warrior just like him, she can’t give so easily… collecting the scattered pieces of her courage she spoke…..
Swara: (painfully) you know what Mr. Maheshwari Siya is living a life of that princess who has been confined to a castle with all the luxuries and priced possessions…
Sanskar: (turns to her) think whatever you want to but this is for her own good…
Swara: (sarcastic smile) Yeah… for her own good
Sanskar: (annoyed) Miss Bose why are you so recalcitrant?
Swara: (irked) and why are you so opinionated Mr. Maheshwari?
Suppressing his anger he moved closer to her, staring her silently for few seconds he spoke “I can’t do what you want me to”. Disappointment crawled over her face, for few seconds she silently stared him..
Sanskar: (looking at her dismay) Miss Bose you….
Ignoring his words she moved away and was about to go but then suddenly stopped by a tight grip on her wrist. She turned and looked at him who was holding her hand with anger….
Sanskar: don’t walk away when I am talking to you
Her moist eyes made him realize that his hold is causing pain to her… he looked at her with guilty eyes and removed his hand… she quickly ran away from there with teary eyes….

Night, Sanskar’s room

Sanskar’s POV

Today again she cried because of me. Whenever I try to fill the gap between us she always comes up with new storm making the gap even deeper. I was guilty… I shouldn’t behave like that but why is she so obstinate? She always does things which made me loose my control. Was she right? Am I really suffocating Siya with my love? Should I give her some space? Oh god!! This girl is affecting me. All these thoughts were bugging my head. Helplessly I moved towards Siya’s room and to my surprise she was there with my daughter. I knew she wasn’t happy with my presence, giving a good night kiss to Siya she prepared herself to leave the room…
Sanskar: wait Miss Bose….
She looked at him shocked and next moment she retreats her steps. He moved a step closer to Siya holding her hands in his….
Sanskar: (lovingly) Princess you want to go for your school outing?
Siya: (innocently) yeas dad… if you allow me…
Sanskar: (staring Swara) ok then I am allowing … you can go
She squealed in excitement, hugging him tightly she screamed “Thank you…thank you…thank you dad…. You are the best dad of the world”. Then she looked at Swara who was smiling at her. She moved a step closer and signaled her to bend down… as soon as Swara bents, she kissed her cheek…
Siya: thank you Shona di for convincing dad… I love you
Swara: (caressing her cheek) love you too dear…
Siya: (cheerfully) I have to call my friends… they will be super happy
She ran away from there, leaving Swara and Sanskar alone….they were staring each other silently
Swara: (to herself) when he has to agree why he created so much fuzz earlier?
Sanskar: (to himself) why she is still upset… she must be happy, I did what she wanted…
Swara: (to herself) at least he should say sorry to me for his behavior
Sanskar: (to himself) Is she expecting a sorry!! should I apologize? No way she made me angry… why always I say sorry…. It seems like I am born to say sorry to her….
Swara: (to herself) Swara, don’t be delusional…. He will never say sorry
Sanskar: (to himself) she should be grateful to me for accepting her silly demands
Swara: (to herself) I should say thanks to him after all he agreed… but wait Swara he didn’t agree when you were trying to convince him…
Sanskar: (to himself) now why she is standing like a statue, can’t she say something…at least a thank you
Sanskar: (looking at her) Now happy!!!
Swara: (unwillingly) thank you….
He didn’t replied rather gave a sharp look to her and was stepping out. Annoyed with his behavior she murmured “Snobbish”
“I heard that” he said turning to her
She couldn’t believe what she heard. Her legs froze, eyes widened in fear. He turned towards her and moved a step closer, looking straight in her eyes…
Swara: (sweating) I….I….h a v e ……some… important… w o r k…have… to….go
She hastily moved out of his sight and ran towards her room. He was stunned with her behavior and then a small smile formed on his lips…staring her retreating form he said “Pagal hai ye ladki (this girl is crazy)”.

11 pm, Swara’s room

She was busy in arranging her clothes in the cupboard when Ragini knocked the door….
Swara: (looking at the door) Ragini!…. come
Ragini: (worried) are you free? Want to talk about something….
Swara: yeah I am free…. Tell me is everything ok? (noticing her worry)
Ragini: (sitting on bed) actually day after tomorrow is Laksh’s birthday and I want to do something special for him but not getting any idea…. Will you help me?
Swara: (excited) wow! That’s great…. Ok lets think together something out of the ordinary… tell me something about his choices, likes and hobbies…. It may help us…
Ragini: most of the thing you know like his love towards music, painting, food….
Something struck Swara and she interrupted Ragini….
Swara: (lighted face) Ragini, I have an idea….
She narrated her plane to Ragini and she was happy with it….
Ragini: (cheerfully) that’s great Swara…. I think he will like it…. Thank you so much, you are a savior dear (she hugged Swara)
Swara: your welcome….(observing the shine of her eyes) you love him a lot na?
Ragini: (shyly) yeah….but he loves me more and I proudly accept it….Swara I love him and he know that but I am not good at expressing it….he always manages to do things to show his love for me but I haven’t did anything like that for him though I terribly wanted to but my planning sucks…. But this time I really wanted to do something for him…..something special
Swara: (squeezing her hand) don’t worry you will…..
