It was morning, the bright sunny day lightened a lot of moaning sleeper’s.
“Swara! Are you ready?” Kavita walked in and to her surprise, Swara was still sleeping.
Kavita approached her and placed her hand on Swara’s waist.
“Swara.” Kavita softly uttered and shook her.
“Hmmm?” Swara responds and slowly opens her eyes.
“Swara Ji! Is this time to continue sleeping?!” His voice jerked her up, she glanced around and her eyes fell on him, Sanskaar who was leaning at the door with his arms crossed across his chest.
She sighed and closed her eyes, tired and wanting to continue sleeping.
“You all can go without me.” Swara yawns and lies back down.
“How can we? Don’t forget you’re also a member of our team.” Kavita says.
“Leave her na Kavu, by taking this princess, we will get humiliated, it’s a high standard party, anyways lets go, we’re getting late.” Sanskaar says, with a small sheepish grin.
Swara’s mouth slightly drops as she hears his words, Kavita controls her giggles. She opens her eyes in anger.
“Sanki!” Swara stops him before he walked away.
He slightly turned his head to the side. Kavita also turned.
“If it’s a high standard party then why are you going?”
“To save our nose from humiliation, if you’re coming too then god can save our respect.” Sanskaar utters and walks away.
Swara twists her lips and looks away.
“Swara, we will wait outside in the hall, we will go as a team or won’t go at all.” Kavita says and walks out.

“Where is she? It’s nearly been 10 minutes.” Nikhil stands up and looks at Kavita, demanding an answer.
“You know girls, so why ask.” Sahil answers and sighs.
“Oh come on, she’s coming so chill.” Kavya sighs and rolls her eyes at Sahil.
“What can you expect from an 100 years old Chudailon ki princess, let her take her time.” Sanskaar utters with a slight chuckle but Sahil and Nikhil’s eyes were glued onto something behind him.
Upon seeing their reactions, he turns and finds Swara walking out in a Black designer skirt with white loop hole blouse and her hair opened which stops up to her waist. Sanskaar looks at her from toe to head.
“Shall we leave?” Swara walks past Sanskaar and stands besides Kavita.
“Let’s go.” Kavita says and starts moving, all follow.
Swara walks forward but due to her heels, she slips and was about to fall but Sanskaar, who was behind her manages to hold her on time by the waist. Sanskaar smiles seeing her facial expression.
“If you walk with your nose held high then this was bound to happen.” Sanskaar utters and smirks after making her stand.
A board fake smile curves up her lips and she composes herself.
“Thank you for helping me.” She politely says and walks down, controlling her anger.
“Stupid idiot, well anyways, I won’t spoil my mood because of him.” Swara uttered with a small sigh.
“Did you say anything?” Sanskaar whispers into her ears.
She felt irritated and moved to the side, he walked down and stood besides her, Swara ignores him.
“I wish I could ignore you…like you ignore me…. but I just can’t! ” Sanskaar sighs with a small pout which Swara hears.
“I was planning to push you off the stairs but then I thought if I do that, we won’t have a driver to drive us.” Swara insulted with a fake smile.
Sanskaar slightly smirks while looking at her, both have curved lips and lock each other by their eyes.
“Anyways, Kavita has been telling me that you get letters from an anonymous person, is that true?” Sanskaar asked, wanting to know if it was true or not as they continued walking down.
“Yes it’s true but you don’t need to worry about it.” Swara answered.
“I wasn’t worried, I was thinking how you scared he or she. Like he or she is even scared to reveal their name.” Sanskaar jokes and opens the car door for Swara.
Swara rolls her eyes and sits inside, beside Kavita. Sanskaar closes the door with small smirk.
“Couldn’t you keep it in your tummy? What was the need to tell him?” Swara angrily whispers to Kavita.
“Tell what?” Kavita asks confusingly and before Swara could answer, Sanskaar sat inside the car.
Swara looks at Sahil and he smiles at her, she returns the smile.

After a while, they reach the ball, Swara opens the door and steps out, followed by Kavita and Kavya. Nikhil parks his bike and approaches them after getting off.
“Shall we ladies? And of course kameeno.” Sanskaar pleasantly says and receives glares from Sahil and Nikhil.
Kavita and Kavya giggle while Swara glances away uninterested.
Sanskaar walks forward and by mistake, his hand hits Swara’s waist. Swara gets angry glares at him, assuming he did it on purpose.
After entering the ball party, all are mesmerised seeing the hall expect Swara, her focus was on Sanskaar as she wanted to take revenge of him touching her. Swara walked forward, acting unknown and slowly slides her hand up Sanskaar’s blazer pinches him on his waist as hard as she could.
“Aaheee!” Sanskaar jumped in pain while touching his waist.
“What happened?” Kavita asked as she turned to Sanskaar.
Sanskaar irritatedly eyes Swara, who slyly smirks.
“Hey, what happened?” Nikhil asks where as Sahil and Kavya ignore them as they did not understand what happened.
“Haa Sanki, what happened?”
Sanskaar narrows his eyes at Swara and then turns to Kavita with a fake smile.
“Nothing, I was so mesmerised seeing the decorations that I didn’t understand what to say so it just slipped out.” Sanskaar lies with a smirk.
“Okay. . . That is weird.” Nikhil utters and then brushes his thoughts.
Swara bites her tongue to keep her away from smiling, her facial expression stiffens and she walks forward.
“Why did she pinch me?” Sanskaar thinks to himself as he’s not able to understand why Swara had exactly pinched him.
Sanskaar sighs and sees Swara walking with Nikhil, Sahil and Kavita, he then smirks.
“She wants to play pinch pinch then I’ll make sure she plays it.” Sanskaar says to himself and follows them.
The principal walks besides them with a small smile.
“I’m glad to see you all here, enjoy.” The principal utters and walks away, leaving them in thoughts.
“It’s such a boring party.” Swara pouts as she talks to her mind.
Sanskaar sees her facial expression and smiles, he walks away.
After a while, a song starts playing, all are surprised hearing the beats and glance around, they soon see Sanskaar walking down the stairs.
Everyone move to the side, clearing the hall as Sanskaar walks forth with a smirk.
The beat is normal hip hop beat.
(Sanskaar dances, he looks at Swara, she was astonished.)
(Nikhil and Sahil join him on the floor while dancing.)
(Sanskaar walks around Swara and drags her onto the floor while Nikhil and Sahil drag Kavita and Kavya.)
(He moves his body and looks at Swara, she shakes her head with a small smile.)
(All four dance, the principal and other members are shocked.)
Some of the people join them from the crowd
(Swara was about to leave but Sanskaar holds her hand and nods no while mouthing.)
(Sanskaar slides his fingers down Swara’s arm and pinches her, Swara jumps in shock and looks at him.)
(Sanskaar smirked and walked away, Swara was angry and started chasing him.)
(While running, Swara’s skirt gets caught by her foot and she was about to fall forward but Sanskaar holds her on time.)
(She looks up and him and he looks at her, both share an eye-lock)
(Swara, who was grasping onto his arm pinches him, breaking the eye-lock)
(Sanskaar jerks his arm away and Swara rushes, he shakes his head and follows her.)
(Nearly the whole crowd started dancing, the principal wasn’t happy as he was pushed into the crowd while they were dancing.)
(The principal struggles to get out, Swara and Sanskaar rush there, Swara turns and sees Sanskaar behind her, approaching to pinches her. She also gets prepared and unknowingly, the principal comes in between.)
(And both pinch him on both of his arms by accident.)
(Sanskaar runs away as soon as possible and Swara walks forward, pretending to dance so that the principal doesn’t catch her.)
(The principal glances around and doesn’t see anyone, he caresses his arms.)
(While dancing through the crowd, Swara and Sanskaar come face to face and look at each other.)
(Swara was about to go but Sanskaar holds her hand and pulls him towards her, their chests hit each other.)
(Sanskaar connects his forehead with Swara’s, both lose each other in their eyes.)
(Swara feels abnormal, her heartbeats increase sensing him close to her.)
Swara moves back and holds his hand, taking him outside the hall and outside, under the sky in order to talk to him with no distraction.
“Anonymous is you Sanskaar.”
Sanskaar’s expression changes as he stares at her in shock, Swara smiles at him.
“I knew it was you, I was just waiting for you to tell me, I wasn’t going to bite.” Swara softly says with a faint smile.
Sanskaar is speechless, he looks down, unable to understand how to respond.
“Wo Swa. . . ” Before he could speak, Swara cuts him off.
“I know Sanskaar, you thought I would reject na because I rejected Sahil?”
Sanskaar has nothing to say as he know it was true, he loved teasing Swara because he loved her but was afraid to get rejected so he kept it hidden and penned it down on papers.
“You know, I wouldn’t have found out if Kavita wouldn’t have told me.” Sanskaar looks at her confused while Swara smiles.

Flashback:
After Sanskaar walked away, Swara dragged Kavita into a corner.
“Why did you tell Sanskaar about anonymous?” Swara asked with slight anger.
“Why would I tell Sanky about anonymous? And I didn’t tell him, I swear.” Kavita says.
“But he said. . .” Swara utters but stops as thoughts occupy her mind.
His words flash into her ears and she gasps.
“What happened?” Kavita asks.
“Nothing.” Swara says and walks away to find Sanskaar.
End of Flashback.
“So? Won’t you finally admit it’s you?” Swara asks.
Sanskaar looks down, unable to look at Swara. Swara faint smiles and hugs him which shocks him.
“From the past 2 years Sanskaar, you’ve loved me and didn’t even bother telling me.” Swara emotionally utters and hugs him tight.
Sanskaar faints a smile and hugs her back.
“Anonymous loves you Swara.” Sanskaar utters.
“But the person behind it is you na Sanskaar.”
“But it sounds weird nai? Sanskaar loves Swara.” Sanskaar slightly chuckles but is happy.
“Nope, Sanki loves princess and Swara loves Sanskaar.” Swara says and indirectly accepts his proposal.
He breaks the hug and smiles at her, he holds her hand and looks into her eyes.
“Sometimes when I say ‘I am ok’ I want you to look at me in the eyes, hug me tight and say ‘I know you’re not. . .'” Sanskaar utters as he looks at Swara.
Swara’s eyes moist and she nods with a smile, she hugs him again, Sanskaar smiles and hugs her tighter, they soon hear claps and break the hug, they see Nihkil, Sahil, Kavita and Kavya smiling and clapping, Swara and Sanskaar blush and look at each other.
“So after all your love was strong enough Sanskaar. Nikhil teases.
“And won our Swara’s heart.” Kavya teasingly says.
Swara and Sanskaar feel shy.
“This has to be a selfie moment.” Sahil says and takes his phone out.
“Haaa.” Kavita agrees and stands besides Swara and Sanskaar.
All get into position and Sahil starts clicking pictures, Swara and Sanskaar look at each other with a smile as they lose themselves into each other’s eyes. No matter how much Sanskaar annoys her, she would always know he would love her.
