~FRIENDS~
MORNING 6.30 AM
Mostly all were up now, after all a marriage house! Today they had a special pooja, praying for a prosperous life ahead for the bride Neha! Swara looked at the preparations that were taking place in a hustle bustle and then looked at the time! She would be peacefully sleeping by now after irritating sanskar by waking him up! That have always been her habit since she knew the way to his home, she suppose! She again went to her room and closed the door, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face fully red, her eyes swollen, her pale face showing the evidence for her endless cries and her sleepless night. She looked away from sanskar’s photo that was on the bed, she was hugging it all night and now also she didn’t realize when did she start staring at his photo after coming inside the room. He was her everything like her breathe which she could never avoid, it was impossible to be without him! her phone beeped indicating a message, she went towards the phone and took it. She widened her eyes seeing it and the very next moment, her phone was thrown on the bed and she was running to washroom to get ready….

Take a breathe! Take a breathe! This was not that difficult! Was it? No! he just can’t get scared after reaching the railway station of Patna all the way from Kolkata. At least not after even messaging swara about his arrival to Patna. He know he can just call shomi aunty and ask her the address and reach singhaniya mansion by booking a taxi but still, it was necessary to meet swara first! His innocent devil first!…

‘I AM IN PATNA RAILWAY STATION.’ – that was it! And she was here now, in the same railway station by reading this message. What does he wants to tell her through this message? She should meet him? but she has understood this message in this meaning only, she has came to meet him! but why did he come to Patna? Was he going to give any advice to her To…not love him? was he going somewhere like he went to abroad for one year? Did he came here to meet her for one last time? Did he came here forgetting everything and want to become her friend again? Did he came here may be because he started LOVING her? Uff… her imagination has no limit…. She messaged him asking the exact place where he was…

She was hating the tears that was bluring her vision from seeing him! but she couldn’t control it too. As those tears flowed out of her tears clearing her vision, she gulps seeing him crying too. She could feel her legs becoming very weak not supporting her to even walk. She walked near him muting those loud noises around, she stumbled not being aware of a rock and that’s when he ran to her from his happiness flowing world that came after seeing her. “swara!” she closed her eyes hearing his love filled voice. How do he manage to give her hope that he loves her and the very next second she gets nothing but his rejection! She opened her eyes still crying sensing his grip becoming tight on her shoulder, his grip was the only source supporting her from not falling down. She felt herself dragged by him and then she was sitting on a bench by his support, he also sat near her. “come on! Don’t make me cry like this!” sanskar said as few more tears flowed from his eyes seeing her crying. She looked at the other side as she wept hard. She could feel his hands wrapping her shoulders, she closed her eyes to not cry hard, sanskar turned her towards him. “stop crying!” at his choking order, she could do nothing but cry more. His hands automatically cupped her face wiping her tears, “swara! Listen to me! Why are you crying? What do you want me to do?” swara touched his hands that were on her cheeks and said, “talk to me!” that’s all what she could demand from him, she just can’t force him to love her back. Because this feeling was very much special to her, precious to her. She didn’t get this feeling by any advice of someone, not by anything! She felt it from the core of her soul, she never knew when this feeling came and she never tried to know, but she knew one thing for sure that this feeling was never going to die! She will love him forever and ever. “I am talking with you!” his complaining innocent voice made her smile, she almost forget what she demanded him by indulging in her deep and pure love. “you are not like before…. You changed!” swara said shoving his hands from her cheeks and then turned the other side. Sanskar frowned hearing her, he made her look at him, “what do you mean by, ‘I changed’?” sanskar asked her. “you would have hugged me as soon as you came! But…..” she stopped as she was pulled by him in his tight embrace. She smiled with tears and hugged him back tightly. “I missed you!” his whisper soothed her and she hugged him more tight. “I am sorry…” he whispered again hugging her more tight as few more tears came out of his eyes. “for everything! I am very sorry for ignoring you! I should have not just did this! I am sorry!” as his every word broke, swara could do nothing but cry. She broke the hug and wiped his tears. “angry with me?” he asked. Swara smiled and said, “If I am angry with you, you should give me a pizza! And if I am not, you should give me an ice cream! Tell me your budget first!” sanskar smiled hearing her. “don’t be angry with me! I will give you an ice cream!” he said. “you are such a conjus sanskar!” she said and beat on his shoulder. “you forgave me?” sanskar asked. Swara smiled and asked, “what mistake you did?” sanskar looked down, his voice still choking, “I hurted you! Even after knowing my ignorance will hurt you, I did it! I am sorry!” he said crying again, he looked up and was confused to see her glaring at him. “swara?” he said. “you are very much conjus! You are diverting the topic so that I don’t ask my ice cream! You can’t do this! I want ice cream!” she said stamping her foot on the ground. Sanskar giggled hearing her. He wrapped his hands around her, while she took her hands to his face and wiped his tears. “tell me once, you forgave me!” sanskar asked. Swara smiled and said, “I forgive you. Now my ice cream!” she whined. Sanskar smiled. “you will get it! Always keep smiling like this!” he said as her smile filled his soul. She smiled wider, “always be with me and I will always smile!” she said as tears filled her eyes saying her most wanted wish. Sanskar wiped her tears before they could come out and then hugged her, “I will always be with you!” swara smiled hearing him, “promise?” she asked closing her eyes. Sanskar hugged her more tight before answering, “PROMISE!”…

SINGHANIYA MANSION
“aunty!” sanskar shouted as soon as he entered, swara was shocked hearing him and immediately closed his mouth with her hand. “have you gone mad? What are you doing?” she took her hand from his mouth and continued, “sanskar! this is not my home! You just can’t call maa like this! This is my relation’s house! Ok?” she asked and sanskar nodded to her. “arey! Sanskar!” sharmishta shouted seeing sanskar. swara slapped her forehead with hand, just now she told sanskar to not shout and now her mother started. Shomi came near them worriedly, sanskar took blessings from her. Sharmishta looked at swara worriedly, swara noticed her worried gaze and smiled to her assuring. She gets relieved by her smile and blessed sanskar smilingly. Uttara too came there and was shocked seeing sanskar. “uttara! Introduce sanskar to everyone” swara said, uttara was confused but still took sanskar with her. “maa! We both became friends again!” swara said jumping excitedly and hugging her mother as soon as sanskar went far. But both uttara and sanskar didn’t fail to hear it. Sanskar smiled thinking her craziness, uttara became happy hearing this. She turned to sanskar and said, “bhai! Thank you so much!” sanskar was confused to hear her. “you don’t know bhai! How much shona di was sad! So thank you so much!” sanskar smiled hearing this, he followed uttara to meet everyone but still his mind was absent. He was just thinking about swara, her pain on his ignorance, her happiness on their friendship, does he even deserve this much love….

AFTER FEW MINUTES
“sanskar!…sanskar! my ice cream!” swara said shaking sanskar. sanskar opened his eyes irritated and said sleepily, “swara! I am tired after the journey! Let me sleep for sometime, I will take you in the evening!” he again closed his eyes. “no! no! no! I want it NOW!” she said waking him. sanskar took the pillow and threw it on her. He got up from the bed and said angrily, “come let’s go!” swara becomes shocked as he dragged her outside. The ice cream shop was very near so they were walking, sanskar was keeping an angry and a cold face. Swara gets sad seeing him. she tries to talk to him but he was not listening to her at all. They reached the shop. “get whatever you want!” sanskar said angrily. Swara gets tears seeing him angry, “sanskar! please don’t get angry, I don’t want anything!” sanskar was not seeing her but hearing her choking voice, he turned to her and was shocked seeing her crying. “hey devil!” he said cupping her face while she continued to cry. “arey! I was just acting!” swara looked up at him shocked, “what? Sanskar! you are very bad!” she said and pushed him, she started going. Sanskar immediately holded her, “swara! Arey! I was kidding! I am sorry!” swara shoved his hands.. “even after knowing, I will cry if you will scold me, why are you doing this?” swara asked angrily. “even after knowing that I always play pranks, why do you cry?” sanskar asked, swara closed her fist “urgh..” she said irritated and started walking, sanskar followed her and then holded her hand, “I said sorry na?” swara remained quiet. “shall I put sit ups?” he asked and holded his ears, he was about to sit when swara stopped him. “sanskar! we are in a road!” she said. “so, what shall I do now?” he asked. “the thing which you do every time! Just forget this, any ways I will talk to you tomorrow, because I can’t live without talking with you! Come now!” she said and started walking. Sanskar was shocked and gets tears hearing her, she was right! He has never cared about her feelings, never thought about the effect of his prank on her because she used to be normal the next day, but she was hurt! she was suffering a lot which he never knew! “the thing which you do every time! Just forget this!” her words repeated in his mind as he saw her going. He swallowed a lump feeling the guilt engulfing him. his tears still flowing endless, as a choked whisper escaped his lips that was inaudible to everyone, “I am sorry swara!”…..
