||Chapter 6||
Seconds ticked by, Sanskar was too indulged in his thoughts to do anything, he couldn’t give a definition to his emotions, his mind was too occupied to do any sort of reasoning in anyone’s favor let alone think from Swara’s point of view, not that he was holding anything against her but his heart did hurt by this sudden revelation from his friend, best friend.
Not more than a minute would’ve passed but he felt as if it’s been quite a long time since she proposed her views, since she fainted.
Frozen-this was the world right now to him.
When gradually the realization hit him it melted the frozen world around him letting him move his attention to the fragile figure unconscious in his arms
His hand moved towards her face, sliding the hair behind her ear, slowly he patted her cheeks.
She opened her eyes partly for a millisecond to close them immediately after giving a small smile.
He lifted her up and walked towards his car which was just a few steps away, somehow unlocking the door he made her sit on the passenger seat and locked her seat belt, he thanked God for the cushion he keeps in his car for his mother and placed it below her head to prevent her head getting hurt otherwise
Once on his seat his thoughts took over him
Swara was drunk which says it all that she didn’t lie,so she really loved him.
Was he betrayed by his best friend? She didn’t tell him anything about this but then how could she tell?
If her words were to be believed did she befriend him intentionally, but then how was it possible?
He sided his thoughts which he truly considered puzzling and focused on the girl beside him.
No matter what ever happened some minutes ago, nothing can change the fact that he is her friend and right now he should be fulfilling what the duties of a true friend are.
He called Akshat and narrated the whole matter obviously leaving the proposal part.
Akshat being worried wanted to come there but Sanskar asked him to take care of Swara’s mother, her father isn’t home but her mother would surely take a lot of tension seeing her daughter unconscious
Akshat agreed and assured Sanskar he’ll do something
Sanskar sat on driver’s seat and drove off to their place
**************
Sanskar reached there and parked his car, Akshat was already there waiting for their arrival
Sanskar got out from car
Akshat:Sanskar how is Cupcake? She’s okay right?
(Rushed towards other side )
Sanskar was not in a right state of mine he was of course hurt and angry but for the time being he has to behave as if nothing happened
“Yes she’s okay Akshat, just unconscious” Sanskar started
“You press the lift button I’m bringing her” Akshat nodded and went towards the lift
Sanskar took Swara in his arms again, locked his car and moved towards the lift door
In the lift
Akii patted Swara’s cheeks but she was not responding
Akii: Sanskar she’s okay right?
Sanskar-Yes Akshat she’s okay just unconscious, she would wake by morning don’t worry
Soon the lift door opened and they moved towards her flat
Akshat using the spare key went in first after few seconds he signalled Sanskar
Sanskar moved towards Swara’s room as directed by Akshat
Akshat got a call from his sister that their father can enter Akshat’s room any second to check him or talk something, she didn’t know exactly but heard him telling their mother
Akshat ran out of the house giving the keys to Sanskar and told him to lock the house while leaving
Sanskar made Swara lie down on her bed
He sat beside her in order to arrange the comforter properly, he let out a sigh when done with the work and stared at her for a minute recollecting the entire evening
He was about to move when he found her grip on his hand
His efforts to remove it went in vain in front of her tight grip
Sanskar sat down beside her and heard her murmuring
Swara:Sanskar don’t go… go.. Leaving me I…I love you.
Sanskar was looking at her face How calmly and peacefully she’s sleeping now unknown to the mess her words created
Sanskar’s POV
Swara! I never expected you would do something like this! I always treated you like a friend but you hid such a big thing from me. I don’t know whether you really love me or not or your love is just an attraction but it may not change the fact that you somewhere betrayed me
Your words are still ringing in my mind
This is really piercing my heart that you said that you had a motive or hidden intention behind our friendship
It’s difficult for me to digest so much Swara, I don’t know what am I supposed to do in this situation, everything is so messed. I can neither hurt you nor do something like accepting your love when I don’t love you.
I need time Swara. We both need time Swara.
Goodnight Swara, and I wish you forget whatever happened today when you wake up the next morning.
POV Ends.
Saying this he somehow freed his hand and went
*******
Swara’s room
Swara was turning from one side to another in her sleep, after a brief struggle to get back to sleep she finally opened her eyes, and felt her head paining like hell
She shifted her gaze towards the wall clock it was 7am
She held her head which was paining a lot right now
She then realized that she was in the party then saw the surroundings
It was her room
But how did she get back to her room
Neglecting the thoughts for time being she stood up and moved towards the washroom with unsteady steps
********
After five minutes Swara came out of the washroom and shifted her gaze towards her phone that was ringing
She picked the call displaying ‘Akii’
He asked that how was she now ? He said that her head might be paining so he’ll bring some medicine for her
Swara agreed for that and asked that how she came to her room to which he replied that Sanskar brought her there as someone spiked her drink and she soon sent unconscious at the party
Listening Sanskar all the events started flashing in her mind, from the start to the end until she fainted
Tears found their way from her eyes
She managed saying a quick bye and as soon a the call disconnected she found herself unable to react anything, what did she do last night
The mobile phone escaped on her lose grip and fell on the bed, she followed the phone with her eyes, atleast this phone didn’t break like her friendship that might break any moment
Swara sat on bed with a thud
Now, She was having a clear image in her mind of what all happened after she drank that stupid drink
Why on earth would she drink something like that,which now seems like a tsunami that succeeded in causing enough damage to her life
Swara’s POV
What you did Swara, how can you do this? You told Sanskar that you love him, you even proposed him, such a fool you are.
Why would you say everything wrong to him?
You said that you made him your friend because you love him and he doesn’t believe in love
Swara you messed everything , you knew it so well that he has goal priorities and he doesn’t have any such feelings for anyone, let alone you. But still…
(She was crying)
Swara, Sanskar will even not see your face now, you would be a betrayer in his eyes, You lost your first and only love, you lost your most precious friendship, you lost his trust and faith in you! You lost everything… Everything.
Sanskar I’m really sorry! I never became your friend because of my love, I never tried to cheat you or do anything that sort of, I always maintained a distance from you even I never interfered in your life
But now you won’t listen to me….
I know I have hurt you a lot but please forgive me at least give me a chance
(She wiped her tears after deciding something)
No Swara now you can’t go near him, he’ll get distracted from his goal, already he must be thinking about your betrayal
He was a true friend from his side that even after knowing everything he brought you back home all safe and sound
Now Sanskar no one will be there for me, you will never trust me!
I’ll just ask his forgiveness and a general pardon.
THAT’S IT
I BROKE OUR FRIENDSHIP MY SELF, IT’S ALL MY FAULT
And all I want is his happiness, now Sanskar you will forget this Swara soon
POV ends
Just then she heard a knock on door
She wiped her tears composed herself and opened the door.
Akii got inside the room, he was tensed seeing tear marks on her face
Akii: Cupcake! Are you alright? What happened were you crying?
Swara: no Akii. I wasn’t crying its just that my head was paining. So tears started coming
She avoided his gaze again and sat on bed
He first brought cornflakes for her as medicine may have side effects if given empty stomach and then gave her medicine
To be continued…

Another chapter where I had to rewrite almost every second line
I hope this one is expressing their emotions better as I really had to spend a good time here, since last three days I’m editing it? so you can understand how much time I get!
Anyway coming to the chapter I’m again saying that please don’t judge anyone because the situation created is accepted differently by both Swara and Sanskar. I hope I did justice with their feelings. Read further to know the upcoming events in their little story.
Please don’t be a silent reader and try sharing your views either positive or negative, each one would be considered. Do vote if you liked the chapter
