Hey guys….This episode goes as Swara’s POV!!!
We were drenched in the rain and we danced until we got much tired… Then Sanskar took me inside,holding my hands… He never wanted me to stay alone… Just then, he called out for a servant for towel… A lady came out with two towels… His phone rang and he left the room to communicate via his mobile…. While leaving, he signalled the lady to stay with me… I said know,he never wanted me to be alone…After he stepped out of the room, that lady came near me and helped me wipe the wetness on my hairs…She began to speak with me…
Lady: My Dear, what’s your sweet name???
Me:My name is Swara…What’s your name Aunty???
Lady:I’m Supriya… Forget about it…I wanna tell you something Swara…
Me:Tell me Aunty…
Lady:Dear, I’m working here since Sanskar was 16 years old… He never smiled like this Swara… For the first time, I’m seeing happiness in his eyes,that too to the fullest my dear… I don’t know what’s seriously going on between you both, but I could clearly see that he is so happy with you and he is very protective about you my dear…. He had never brought home a girl like you… I think you are the first girl in his life…Stay blessed and happy you both, dear…. I think he is coming…
I stood there just blinking my eyes… That lady’s words started echoing in my head… Then Sanskar came… He signalled her to go… She left the room… Actually, I was a bit uncomfortable because of the silence…I started to talk…
Me: Sanskar, am I the first girl to reach your home???
Sanskar: Did Supriyaji said anything???
He caught me but I’m a way smarter than him… So I lied to him…
Me: Supriyaji, who is that???? Oh,you mean that lady… She didn’t open her mouth… She just helped me in drying my hairs…
He came forward towards me….He again killed me with his closeness towards me…He touched my hair strands…
Sanskar: Oh,really???
Me(with an embarrassment): Yeah…. Really!!!
Sanskar:But your hairs are not dry it seems…
He took the towel in my hands and caressed my hairs with the towel… His touch was so soft on me… My eyes were in front of his nose,because he was taller than me…. He started looking into my eyes,simultaneously he wiped my hairs too… I also gave the same look back to his greyish blue eyes… He curled his lips and started saying something….
Sanskar:Yeah Ms.Journalist!!!! You are the first girl to this palace…
I breathed heavily due to his closeness!!! Not only because of his closeness,but also I feared that I was falling for him due to his hotness quotient… He was like the dream boy of every girl…
Sanskar: Will you dance with me???
He forwarded his hands… We danced already but it was a childish kinda dance!!! Often, in front of him, I would give a blinking expression on my face which left him confused…That time too, I gave that same expression…
Sanskar: Are you ready to dance with me??That’s not one of the toughest questions Ms.Journalist after all you kill me with your questions…
I nodded with a confused expression…Just then he took a remote and switched on the music player… We both were half wet!!! The music started with a sound of waves and wind…. Then a melodious piano tune,accompanied by a girl’s voice touched my soul…The song was full of a girl’s voice… It’s a song by Ellie Goulding… It’s always my favourite because it was the song on which we danced together….
“HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU???
AS LONG AS STARS ARE ABOVE YOU
AND LONGER IF I CAN”
I was making one of my hands land on his shoulder and one of his hands on my hip… My other hand and his other one were holding each others tightly… We shook our body slightly…That was our first step together though!!!
“HOW LONG WILL I NEED YOU???
AS LONG AS THE SEASONS NEED TO
FOLLOW THEIR PLANS”
Then,we both spinned slowly with our joined hands out….
“HOW LONG WILL I BE WITH YOU
AS LONG AS THE SEA IS BOUND TO,
WASH UPON THE SANDS”
This line was somewhat on a high-note and so he made me spin around…I always wanted my man to spin me like that!!!! Sanskar was always perfect in fulfilling my wishes, even without knowing them….
“HOW LONG WILL I WANT YOU???
AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME TOO,
AND LONGER BY FAR!!!”
Then, we both raised and lowered our hands one by one slowly together….
“HOW LONG WILL I HOLD YOU???
AS LONG AS YOUR FATHER TOLD YOU…
AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!”
For these lines, we looked at each other’s eyes and we moved closer and farther slowly…
“HOW LONG WILL I GIVE TO YOU???
AS LONG AS I LIVE THROUGH YOU…
HOWEVER LONG YOU SAY EHHHH!!!”
These lines are indeed the high-pitch ones of this song… I didn’t expect that he would lift me up and turn around… But to my surprise, he lifted me up and I was spinning at a height… I wondered that I was so easy for him to lift up after all I had a power-packed supper,provided by him…
Next he got me down slowly during a humming tone by the singer…. First I met with his hairs,then with his greyish blue eyes, then his nose, then with his lips,and then finally with his shoulders!!!
“HOW LONG WILL I YOU YOU???
AS LONG AS THE STARS ARE ABOVE YOU!!!
AND LONGER IF I CAN……”
These lines were the ending lines of the song…My hands were on his wide arms and we shook our body slowly, looking into each other’s eyes…. The song ended very soon but we didn’t stop to look into our each other’s eyes….He broke the silence that time…
Sanskar: You are dancing good…
Me: Well,thank you!!!But you are dancing like a professionalist… I have to say that I had danced many times in my life before,during school and college events etc!!! But this is the best and the most favourite dance in my life!!I felt very good dancing with you…
Sanskar: I felt so fortunate to dance with you…
Me: I’m not such a great personality as you…
Sanskar: But you are my favourite, right???
What did he say???”Favourite”…Seriously, he was enjoying my confusion due to his words!!!
Sanskar: Let me show you something, Ms.Journalist!!!
Me: I’m getting used to your surprises…
He took me to the corner of the hall which was so dark… Then he clicked a switch and I could see 13 candid clicks of my faces hanging on a board under a beautiful lavendar light!!! The clicks were so beautiful such that I couldn’t stop me from admiring myself…The pictures were taken on the time when I interviewed him… My all confused and blinking expressions were so cute…For the first time in my life, I had pride of my cuteness!!! I then looked at him who was thoroughly enjoying my happiness…
Me: Mr.Businessman, how did you manage to take clicks??? None was present there… Then how could you??? I’m seriously confused… Open your mouth, damn it…
He was laughing… Then seeing my angry face, he controlled his laugh…
Sanskar:My coat’s button and my pen had camera… It recorded the video… And I collected your cute expressions from that video… Many more cute expressions were there but I couldn’t collect everything…
I was so shocked…
Me: Button and pen had camera??? What the…I mean, seriously what would you do with these recordings??? Does anyone watch through these recordings???
Sanskar: Ms.Journalist!!! You are asking too many questions… It’s okay,I’m getting used to your questions… I will carry these cameras wherever I go… None will watch these recordings and all!!! Then using its plug, I will connect to my system to go through the meetings,interviews and all!!!Likewise, I watched yours too…I’m doing this for my security purpose as I have many business rivals…
Me: Omg!!!Ufffff!!!
Then I touched the buttons if his coat…
Me: Does it contain camera even now???
He touched my fingers which were over his buttons…
Sanskar:Ms.Journalist, too many questions are not good you know!!!
Me: Even too many surprises… Please tell me…
I made a pleading face…
Sanskar: Fine, it’s during only official meetings… Not during these kinda private times!!!
Me: So this isn’t a official one and this is a private meeting… Is this a date????
Sanskar: Uffff!!!Again a question… Might be a date!!!
I shook my head and we both laughed slightly!!!
To be continued…
Thank you,
With love,
