Chapter 48

Morning, dining hall

Laksh: Mom, where is bhai?
Annapurna: (feeding Siya) he left early today…
Laksh: (turning to Swara) Swara could you please give this to bhai?
He said holding an envelope in his hand, Swara looked confusingly at it…
Swara: what’s this?
Laksh: it’s your and bhai’s ticket to Delhi….
Swara: (shocked) What!!!
Laksh: (hiding his smirk) yeah, you have your exam and bhai has his meeting in Delhi on same date, So you two can go together….
Swara: (lost) but….
Annapurna: (interjected) don’t hesitate Swara, it’s good Sanskar is going with you…. I was worried for you dear when you informed me about your trip but now I am not….
Swara helplessly looked at them, with a plastered smile……

Afternoon, Swara’s room

She was engulfed in her books, revising the important topics once again when she got disturbed by Siya’s voice….
Siya: Shona di, may I come in?
Swara: (looking at her) Siya! Come dear….
Siya: (looking at her books) god! These all books are yours, they are so heavy to hold….
Swara: (smile) Siya, you have to study similar books when you will grow up….
Siya: (reluctantly) No way…. Never, I will become an actress or may be painter like chachu and for that I don’t need to study much….
Swara: (ruffling her hairs) acha, who told you that actors and painters are not well educated? Your education always helps you dear…
Siya: (sad face) Dad says the same…..
Swara chuckled at her worried face
Siya: how is your preparation?
Swara: it’s average not very good, I hope I could clear this exam…
Siya: is this exam is very important?
Swara: yes dear, it is…
Siya: what will happen if you pass the exam?
Swara: I will get scholarship for my further studies and then get a good job…
Siya: (disappointed) So, you will leave us if you will get a good job….
Swara observed the disappointment crawled over her face, she was confused what to answer…. So just to distract her she said “what could be better than being a governess of such a cute girl, I love this job”
Siya: (cheerfully) really….
Swara nodded to her with a smile….
Siya: ok I am going, you continue the study…. And best of luck
Swara: thank you bacha…

Evening, Sanskar’s study

Swara barged in the room furiously, he turned as he heard the sound of footsteps. Coming up to him she paced the flight tickets on his table…
Swara: (angrily) why you did this?
Sanskar: (noticing the tickets) why so furious, instead you should be happy that now you don’t have to go all alone….
Swara: please stop thinking about my happiness, I request you this….
Sanskar: (averting his gaze) it’s just a coincident Swara that my meeting is going to be held on the same date at same place…. So if we both are going to the same city then why not go together, we will have each other’s company….

Swara: what if I don’t want to be in your company….
Sanskar stared her for a second with annoying face….
Sanskar: Fine, then I won’t allow you to give this exam…. Your leave is cancelled…
Swara: (shocked) you can’t do this….
Sanskar: (with a smirk) off course I can, I am your employer and it’s on me whether I sanction you leave or not……
“You know what, you are such a mean person” she said with a displeased face and strode out of the room angrily….. “I know Swara, I shouldn’t have acted like this but this is the only way to beat your stubbornness” he whispered staring her retreating form….

Next day, 8:00 pm

Swara and Sanskar got ready to leave for airport. There flight was at 10:00 pm. Displeasure was clearly visible on Swara’s face as Sanskar was a forced companion. Biding a bye to all they left….. during the entire route from Maheshwari Mansion to the airport, she didn’t talk to him at all and not even he initiated, aware of her fury he thought better not to poke her….. soon the time came for boarding the flight, and silently they did. As they got settled on their seats, few minutes’ later sleep took over Swara, due to late night study she was tired. Sanskar turned to check her, she was in deep sleep…. He smiled to look at her innocent face and covered her properly with comforter…..

Delhi, Radisson Hotel, 1: 00 am

Finally their car halted in front of Radisson hotel, driver took their luggage and they followed him… Sanskar moved up to reception to ask about his booking, Swara followed him silently….
Receptionist: (smile) Welcome sir
Sanskar: thank you, well I have a booking on the name of Sanskar Maheshwari…
Receptionist: (checking the reservation) yeah, Sir we have a reservation, on the name on Sanskar Maheshwari and Swara Bose…
Sanskar: yeah…
Receptionist: (smile) your room no. is 204 sir….
Sanskar: (confused) Wait a second, there must be two rooms….
Receptionist: (politely) No sir, there is only one room….
Sanskar: check it once again….

On Sanskar’s insistence, Receptionist checked the reservation details again but there was only single room booked for them…. Swara who was uninterested in their conversation till now was furious as she heard about a single room…. She looked at him with resentment…..
Sanskar: can you just give another room to us, we need two…
Receptionist: Sorry sir, we are full…..
He helplessly looked at Swara who rushed to the couch placed little far from the reception area and sat there holding her head with her hands….. he knew this is a silence before outburst. “Lucky I will kill you, let me be back” he whispered grinding his teeth……

1:30 am, room no. 204, Radisson hotel

Sanskar tried his best to solve this mess created by his loving little brother but due to the festive occasion of Christmas and New Year on next week all the rooms and nearby hotels were preoccupied. Irritated with dejection from everywhere he threw his phone on the couch…. Swara was sitting quietly at one corner of bed with blank face….. he walked up to her…
Sanskar: Swara, I am sorry….
Swara: (interjected) really!!!
Her sarcastic tone made him stare her for few seconds….
Swara: don’t act in front of me, I knew you did it purposely…..
Sanskar: (shocked) what!! Do you really think so….
Swara: I don’t want to argue more, you wanted us to stay together…. Fine, I will stay with you in this room, you should be happy now….celebrate for another win….
She stood up to move towards the wash room but he held her hand…..
Sanskar: (serious face) I am not finished yet….. and Swara you can’t blame me every time, do you think I am happy with this awkward situation? Believe me it’s not my fault
Swara: (shouted) then who did it, the hotel staff got a dream to book one room for us….
Sanskar: (annoyed) instead of snapping at me why don’t you ask your dearest Friend Laksh about it, he did the booking for us….
Swara: I don’t believe, he can’t do this…

Sanskar: (sarcastically) yeah, why not…. Everyone is infallible for you except me…
Swara: that’s because I don’t trust you….
Her words struck him hard, it’s painful when the person you love distrusts you…. Swara observed the changed expression of his face…..
Sanskar: (blank face) believe me or not but I haven’t done this. And don’t bother about my presence in the room, I will spend my night in the balcony…. Tomorrow I will shift somewhere….
Quickly he changed his clothes and walked up to balcony, without giving a glance to her
“Lock the door from inside” he said turning to her…..
Swara quietly stared his retreating form… she knew he was hurt by her harsh words, guilt took over her and tears brimmed in her eyes…..
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At hotel room, balcony

He was aimlessly staring the sky standing at one corner in the balcony, it was chilled winter night but unaffected with the austere weather he was lost in her thoughts.
“Why Swara? why you always hurt me….. what do you think I am stone hearted? Don’t you see your every word affects me?” he was struggling with his thoughts….
“Please come inside” a soft voice disturbed his thoughts. He turned and found her standing near him… her eyes were soft, a tinge of guilt was also visible…. But it was difficult for him to forget what she said a while ago….. he casually looked at her and then averted his gaze…..
“It’s very cold here, you will make yourself ill, please move in” she requested again but he remained unaffected, eventually she held his hand and dragged him inside the room. Closing the door behind them she walked up to the bed.
Swara: (arranging the pillows) the bed is big enough, we both can sleep here and this is matter of just two days, I think we can adjust…..
Sanskar was shocked to see her sudden change of thoughts, the girl who was distrusting him few minutes ago was now ready to share the bed with him….
“You are unbelievable Swara” he said staring her
Swara: I am sorry, I didn’t mean that….might be there is some misunderstanding between Laksh and the hotel reservation staff…

He could see the genuine guilt in her eyes…..
Sanskar: I think we should sleep now it’s already late, are you comfortable or not?
Swara: I have no problem…. I am fine…..
Without any more arguments, they moved to their sides of the bed and lied down quietly….. Swara was clinging to the extreme corner edge of the bed, concerned not to touch him or get touched by him, not even mistakenly…. Sanskar noticed her state…
Sanskar: (playfully) Swara sleep freely on the bed, you will fall down if sleeplike this….. and don’t worry I have no intentions to jump on you….
She was embarrassed with his words
“It’s nothing like that, I am fine…. Why don’t you sleep and let me sleep also” she said annoyingly
