Swaragini Os by A. S

Place : surgaon, a small village, near pahalgam in kashmir…
Date : 15th December, 2016
Time: 11 pm…

Snow is falling heavily… And with that heavy cold wind is blowing… Streets are empty… Naturally so much snow is falling… Houses roads trees are cover with thick layer of snow…
We can see in that drastic weather a man is walking in road… He is fully covered with long overcoat… His face is coverd by maflars and hat on head… Goggles on eyes… Moreover no place of his body shown… He is struggling for walking in the snow… He is shivering… He looks forward… A dim light is shown… He got some hope… He walks fast as much as he could… At last he reached in front of the small inn… He opens the door with thud…

A woman of early 50 was sitting there in reception area… As soon as she feel the cold wind she looks at the door… And become angry ???
Woman : hey you… Close the door… And what are you doing here… Go from here…
The guy close the door and comes in… He put off the haversack which is covered with snow…
Guy : i want a room…
Woman(push the specs and looks at him though his face is not shown) : sorry door is closed…
Guy : i will give double money…
Woman’s eyes shine but again…
Woman: but room also not available…
Guy : but i want one… Look at the weather… Please…
Woman : ok one room is available but you have to leave it before 22…
Guy : ok…

Woman : i am mrs janki gadodia… Owner of this inn… And Sir your name??
Guy : sanskar… Sanskar maheshwary…
Janki write his name and forward the register copy to sign… Sanskar takes that… He was about to sign…
Janki : take off the gloves sir…it will easy to…
Sanskar (interrupt… And rudely) : just keep your mind in your won business…
And signed without taking of the gloves…
Janki (murmur) : wired…

Sanskar signed and takes the key… Janki press a button… After sometime a beautiful girl wearing apron comes their… Her long curly hair tied in a high pony…
Girl : yes mam…
Janki :swara show him room no. 7… And ask him whether he want any thing or not…
Swara looks at sanskar… Who is covered fully even his face is not showing…
‘the mummy returns ‘swara think this and giggles…
Janki glares at her…
Swara stops : come sir…
Sanskar follows her… Swara show him the room…
Sanskar gets in… He feels better in the warmth of the room…
Swara goes and set fire on fireplace…
Swara : sir what will you like eat in dinner…

Sanskar : nothing… Just one black coffee…
Swara nodes… And leaves… As soon as she left sanskar close the door… And takeoff the overcoat… And the hat also… We can see a big white bandage around his head… Something like he met with an big accident just few days ago…
He was about to take off the gloves… He heard a door knock…
Swara(from out side) : sir your coffee…
Sanskar looks at himself in the mirror then goes to open the door… Swara widen her eyes seeing the big bandage…

Sanskar with out giving any glance comes in the room…
Sanskar (arrogantly) : put it on the table…
Swara keep it and looks at sanskar…
Swara(can’t control herself from asking) : sir are you injured…
Sanskar (angrily… Somewhat like barked at her) : shut the hell your mouth up and oil your own machine… Now you may get lost…
Swara greeted her teeth and was about to leave but looks at the overcoat which is wet as the snow are melted and water drop falling in the ground…

Swara was about to take it…
Sanskar (again angrily) : oh hallo… Who told you to take that… Just be in your limits…
Swara : sir it’s wet… Let me take it i will dry it and return you…
Sanskar : no need… Get out…
Swara (irritated) : sir it’s destroying the floor…
Sanskar : so???i am giving dauble money… Now go from here…
Swara looks at him angrily… And left…
Sanskar looks at the coffee and goes to washroom…
It’s almost 1:30…
Swara comes out from kitchen all tired… And looks at the empty hall… She yawns… And goes to check the main gate… Whether it’s locked or not… She feels something and looks here and there… But finds nothing… Then goes to main door… But she was continually feeling something wired… She looks at main door lock… She sighs… As usual unlocked… She opens it slightly and peeps outside… She close her face with hands which is cover with gloves as the cold wind touched her Face… The weather is quite better from before…

She immediately close the door and lock it… She sighs and looks at the empty hall… And goes to her room again to take rest…
14 km away from that place…
A small house is shown… We can heard dj box music…
It’s half past 3… But the party is going on full mode… The owner of the house mr karan malhotra… A great industrialist… He is having fun with his friends sahil sengupta and manohor kapoor and with some pr*stitute girl…
Karan : arey bhai… Aj tak ek bhi aisi ladki na mili… Jo maja usme thi yaar…
Sahil : seriously she was damn hot…
Manohor : han yaar… Sooo sad…
At about 4 pm… Their party and all bad works stopped…
Sahil and manohor : seems like weather is quite good… We are leaving… Ok..
Karan: arey stay na…
Sahil : no yaar shilpa(his wife) is waiting for me…
Manohor : divyianshri also… We told them we stuck here for weather… Now got a go… Or they will show us our worst day…
Trio laughs…
Karan : oh god yaar… You two are such a coward… Here you enjoy whole night with this girls… Now… Haha… Ok go…
Girls : we are also leaving handsomes… Bye…
All left karan comes in after biding them good bye… He looks at the empty hall and takes the bear bottle which is empty and goes to fetch another one from the kitchen…
Next day at about 7 am…
Janki open the door looks at outside… Storms have stopped but there is black cloud in the sky…
She takes The newspaper and switch on the tv…
While doing this she yells… : swara come with my tea…
As soon as she open the news channel she gets shocked to see…

Karan come with whisky bottles… But suddenly it’s fall from his hand… His eyes widen and runs towards the drawer extending his hand… And opens the drawer and takes out the gun and put 3 bullets on his template…
Janki was gulping this news with widen eyes… One more eyes see this… Which is burning like coal… And having some pain same time happy feelings also…

Swara goes to door… She can see his disappearing features in the deep thick Fog… Swara shrugs…
Here near karan’s house…
Meher somehow frees herself from reporters continuous questions and walks towards her jeep… She looks at the house…
Meher(in mind) : some things are very wired… Is it really a suicide case???
Meher with deep thoughts starts walking towards police station… As jeep is broken for snows in road…
Here… Swara got some time after 11 so taking permission she goes as the weather is quiet now…
She loves ice skating… She take skateboard and sticks and goes…
She goes to a forest area… Which is now no more a forest… Only tall trees are there without any leaves and snows on branches… The floor is also covered with snows… She starts to skate… She was passing tree expartly with zigzag motion… Suddenly she stops and confusedly looks at something or rather than say it someone… Vision is blur for the fog so she goes closer…
‘sanskar sir ‘she murmur…’ what is he doing here?? ‘she thinks…
She goes to him… She saw him doing something near the tree…
Swara clears her throat and sanskar turns… He again engross in his work…
She adjust her woolen cap and pull the muffler upto her nose as its getting difficult to take cold air directly…
Swara : what are you doing here??

Swara twitched her nose again…
Swara : will not tell… U insult me…

Swara was about to go… But she was pulled and in next second she lands on his chest…
Swara feels his toned chest over thick layer of clothes…

Meher is looking the vedio repeatedly… And sipping a coffee…
Meher : it’s really wired… Kuch toh hai… I am overlooking something… But what is that ….
She again replay the vedio… She looks at it with so much concentration…
She close the lappy getting irritated and let fall her head in the chair… She close her eyes and start to think…
Suddenly she open her eyes and again start the video… She looks at it… Suddenly she slap the table and gets up from the chair…

18th December….
After stormy day again a beautiful day… All are playing in the snow… Manohor and divyianshri is also playing… Doing ice skating like others… Again those burning eyes watch them… And the face is revealed…
It’s
It’s
It’s
(kya bol du??? ???…)
It’s none other than swara…
Some flashes of a girl is being tortured and her pleading voice echoing in her ears…
‘Please leave me… Don’t do this to me please ‘
Swara close her eyes and clutch the brunch of the tree where she was hiding…
Swara looks at him with blood shot eyes…
Here Manohor was enjoying with his wife…
Meher went to meet manohor… As she can’t find him in the hottel so direct went to that spot… Meher reached there and call manohor… Manohor was doing skating… Suddenly he loss his balance…. And can’t stop himself… He starts shouting and cross the boundaries of safety zone… Swara sees this gives a winning smile and then again looks at him….
Manohor fortunately fall down due to rock but his feet stucked in laces of skateboard… Slope is very steep… Divyianshri were shouting… Meher was all numb… As such a big thing happen in few second… When she sees manohor is stop now… She rushed…
Meher : i will go to save him…
A man came : don’t worry mam… We have experts..They will save him…
Meher nodes… Some man goes to save him… Manohor who is holding just a small rock suddenly his hand slipped… Swara smiles evily…. He dragged down in the deep valley for the skateboard…
The men who went to save him look at up helplessly…
The man : sorry mam… He can’t be saved…
Meher: no i just want him at any cost…
She dials for special forces…

Here manohor fall in to a big lake which is now freeze for ice… His nose hands heads are bleeding for continuous dragging… He tries to stand up… But can’t… Suddenly he heard someone is coming with skateboard… We all can see a person came wearing a black jacket… We can’t see person’s face as its cover with cap which is attached with jacket… And also muffler was hanging… He/she stops in front of him… And took out a skate shoes… He/she goes towards him and put down a sack… Sack is full of snow… Manohor try to see who is that… The person open manohor’s jacket jip and pour snow in side his clothes… Manohor shouts as soon as the snow came to contact with his bare chest…
The person complete his/her work and stands up…
Manohor : wh… Who… Aa… Are you…
The person pull his/her maffler… But only Manohor could see him/her… Manohor widen his eyes… The person left the place… Manohor died after sometime struggling with his life…
When meher’s team reached he is already in another world…
Meher sighs… And sits with disappointment… Loosing a person Again…
At evening… Swara opens the inn’s door and find sanskar…
Sanskar comes in room… And close the door…
He takes out a small box from his over coat… And place it on the table… Same brown colored thing in a liquid…

Next part soon…till then think who is that person who kills manohor??who is swara???who is sanskar??what is his motive ??who is that so called mam …what does meher found after seeing vedio …think think think …
