SWASAN: AASHIYAN [EPISODE-6]
as the morning pooja ended all dispersed for their work. sanskar was walking back to the room and swara with the thought to talk to him was going back of him when ragini called her.
ragini- swara. can you do me a favour please.
swara- [stopped walking towards room and turned back to ragini] yes ragini. say naa.
ragini- save me from chachiji.
swara- what??
ragini- haan [yes] woh… i can’t eat that chappati dripping with ghee that chachiji feeds me. please do anything but save me from having that. please.
swara- [slightly laughed at ragini’s expression] i will think.
ragini- why are you laughing? [said frowning]
swara- because your expressions are worth watching. hahhahaha…
ragini- when you will be at my place naa then you will understand.
swara- [smiled weakly thinking something] accha baba i will handle mom. now ok. caan i go.
ragini- arre how can you go. i mean …i ..woh i want to eat halwa and i can’t say it maa or chachiji. can you please….
swara- it’s ok i will prepare. happy.
ragini- very happy…. [moving her towards kitchen holding her shoulder] chalo please make it fast.
swara- arre…aaram se ragin [relax ragini] i am going naa.
swara once looked towards the stairs then towards her room and sighing went to kitchen. she prepared halwa and helped with the morning breakfast while ignoring parineeta who also was present in the kitchen. after finishing her work she came out hurriedly and went to her room just to get disappointed not finding sanskar. she then went in guest room and study room to check if he is there but he wasn’t and she didn’t see him downstairs even when she was coming up.
swara- where did he go?
she came down and saw sujata and ap and went to them.
swara- [to sujata] mom…[hesitantly] do you know..where is…sanskar?
sujata- [looked at swara for a second and then answered] wo tho daftar gaya. bataya naa usne [he went office. didn’t he told you]
swara- [shocked and fumbled] woh…wo..i was in kitchen so i didn’t meet him after pooja. that’s why? [she somehow managed to say]
sujata just nodded and resumed her talk with ap.
swara- mom [low voice] woh he went without breakfast?
sujata- [making faces] arre chori uska toh kuch samajh na aata mujhko. kab khata, kab bhukh lagti hai bhagwan jaane. pichle ek dedh mahino mein toh ek bhi din nasta naa kiya hai chore ne toh ghar pe. [arre i don’t understand anything about him. when he eats and feels hungry, god knows. from last one month or one and half month he didn’t had breakfast at home]
swara was again shocked but somehow composed herself.
sujata and ap went away talking and swara got lost in her own thoughts.
during breakfast swara ate a little and then excused herself saying she was full.
after a while coming in kitchen she engaged herself in work. preparing the lunch single-handedly a little while earlier she packed lunch boxes for all the men. then went to ap and sujata and asked their permission to go and give it in the office. they agreed to her and hence she rushed to office happily.
in the office giving the boxes first to dp, rp and laksh she stood outside sanskar’s cabin and sighed. taking a deep breath she knocked the door.
sanskar- [from inside cabin] come in.
swara entered the cabin and stood in front of his table. he looked up to see who the person is as the person didn’t speak. now it was him to be shocked seeing swara there holding the lunch basket in her hand.
sanskar- [forgetting things and surprised] what are you doing here?
swara- came to give lunch and by the way did you have breakfast? i mean you left early from home without even informing me and even not having breakfast.
sanskar then remembered things and immediately came in his old composure and spoke sternly to her.
sanskar- you came to give lunch so keep it over the table near couch and then you may go.
swara- sanskar we need to talk. i know that i did wrong but then the situation was…..
sanskar- [angryily] leave. [said sanskar shutting her down with his tone of command and anger]
swara- [gaining some courage] at least have your lunch and then…
sanskar- [got up from chair and came to her. pulled and left her near door] i said leave ……now.
swara could not control more and keeping the lunch basket there, left controlling her tears. here in cabin sanskar just stood at his place in anger. he punched his palm on the wall in frustration and then came towards window. looking down he saw swara exiting the office premises and sitting in the car which soon drove out the gate disappearing from his sight.
he stood there for a while looking at infinity and then resumed his work. whereas there swara reached home and directly went in her room and locking the door she slid down the wall crying.
swara- you haven’t accepted me yet sanskar. you are still on your words. i can feel it by your behaviour. i knew entering the house that i had to mend things between us but you left that day and yesterday when you yourself held me to you and those moments…..i thought that you have accepted me but you didn’t. i feared this only and it came true. i am sorry sanskar for everything.
she cries and remembers the events that happened after laksh’s return.
flashback- [i am giving complete flashback and not in anyone’s pov]
sanskar- hmm….. i have to go laksh… so bye.
laksh- [snapped and looked at tha bagpack in his hand] [shockingly] where are you going?
sanskar- [looked at his bag and laksh’s shocking expression] [smiled faintly] i am going on a buisness trip laksh.
laksh- but….is it because of me.
sanskar- it was pre-planned. infact i had to leave in morning itself but then i got to know about you so….. i have to leave.
laksh nodded understanding and both walked downstairs. as soon as they reached downstairs swara looked at sanskar to know his feelings but his face showed no expressions. she then looked at the bag in his hands shockingly and many thoughts crossed her mind. she remembered that sanskar said that he will not accept her back if she goes out of the house. fear took place in her heart to lose him forever and her heart beat rose unexpectedly. her thoughts got a break with his voice.
sanskar- [to sujata] mom i have to leave. will return in three days.
swara wanted to ask where is he going? is he going leaving her or because of her? her questions got a voice through dp and she was relieved knowing the answer.
dp- where are you going sanskar?
sanskar- bade papa for the sinha’s deal.
dp- ok but today it would have been better if you stayed back.
sanskar- bade papa we have given our words and we can’t back off. i hope you understand.
dp [nodded]- before going i think you both [sanlak] should have a talk with swara and ragini and you all should get together.
sanskar stiffened hearing this. he didn’t know what to do. on one hand his heart yearns for swara but at the same time the past happenings comes in his mind which stops him from moving towards her. his own sufferings and cravings, his unbearable pain doesn’t allow him to think of them back together.
sanskar- bade papa i am getting late. i was supposed to leave in the morning but then i had to bring back laksh. so i think i should leave for now.
swara’s heart twisted at the way sanskar changed the subject so easily clearly indicating that he doesn’t want her back because he didn’t even looked at her once. his expressions. body language indicated that he wants to go from there as soon as possible.
episode ends.
