Laksh: She? Who is she?
Sanskar: C’mon Lucky I told that I’m preparing new one so stop dragging that topic. Nothing to worry. Let’s eat.
Laksh: atleast tell who is that girl.
Swara: it’s me.
Yes. She was about to come for dinner & heard their conversation .
Laksh: Kya?
Swara: Yes, isn’t it Sanskar?
She eyed at him. Her words holded guilt at the same time pain also.
Sanskar didn’t speak anything so lucky understood it was her. Sometimes silence speaks.
Laksh: but how? I mean as far as I know u both doesn’t talk to each other
then how did u get his mobile?
Swara: That’s not the point to be worried about now. We should solve this problem.
Sanskar: I already did.
Swara: Oh really! What if your new presentation is not as good as old one. That company who hacked your presentation as I hacked your mobile will get that presentation for sure.
Laksh: That’s right bhai she got a point.
Sanskar gave u better shut up lucky look.
Swara (smiling): So the decision is finalised.
Laksh: huh
Swara: That I’m going to help you guys.
Laksh: but how?
Swara: simple I’m going to hack that stupid hacker’s device & make some changes to that presentation such that
it is not as powerful as Sanskar’s new one & for that Mr. Sanskar Maheswari
u should stop giving me such stupid expressions & better stop thinking that I’m interfering in your life.
Laksh couldn’t exactly understand what her last line meant so pushed those thoughts away as it is not that important this moment. However Laksh forgot to notice his bhai’s face which was in an aww. Now this is unexpected.
Sanskar: ( trying to change the topic): We should eat now. Someone told that
you should never be late in having food.That person may not follow it but I’m doing it from today.
Laksh chuckled as it was Swara who told that to him one day as he denied to eat but had no idea that Sanskar is present there.
Swara: excuse me I too know that but what if that hacker copies that presentation in another device while we are eating. If that happens there is no use of me hacking his device as he can easily find out that some changes are made. So first thing’s first.
Swara managed to do what she told & asked Sanskar to make those changes. Finally work is completed.They started having dinner.
Laksh: but Swara what if that person already copied the presentation in other device.
Swara: He won’t.
Laksh: how can u be so sure?
Swara: Sixth sense.
With that she winked at Laksh & got up to put her finished plate in wash basin but couldn’t stop reminiscing Sanskar’s smile when she said sixth sense. That is when it striked that it was her who asked him not to use that dialogue & here she is replying in his style. This guy is effecting her too much.
Next day
In Swara’s office
What do I do now?. Should I call him no no I’ll call Laksh no no What if he lifts Laksh’s phone like last time & scold me again. Why should I back off? It was just a matter of asking if everyone liked his presentation or not
& infact it was me who beared his frustration & more than anything how
dare he is to use that f**k word In front of me when no one ever did that to me? Let it be . When he is thinking that I’m interfering in his life why should I talk to him? He is showcasing
everything as if I’m so interested to talk & he is talking as both of us are living in same house whereas sometimes he forgets that also. I can’t understand how Laksh loves him so much. Just look at Laksh how caring &
funny he is. But Sanskar No it would be a joke if someone say that he is funny. It’s 4:00 p.m. now. OK I will call him , ask him & listen to him. That’s it not another word. This is going to be my last time talking to him unless he pleads me to talk & I know he’ll never do that.
.
.
.
Huh forget it he’s not answering the call. I’ll call one more time. If he lifts it
fine but if he don’t I’ll probably declare that he’s world’s no.1 idiot.
On the other side
Laksh: ( shouting ) congrats bhai.
Sanskar: U don’t have to shout for that.
Laksh: What bhai. U know na how good news this is. Just few days & no one can stop u from achieving your dream & u don’t even need to think of disclosing it to our parents they’ll obviously get to know that.
Sanskar: That is what I’m worrying about. I can manage everyone including our parents but s
Tring tring tring
Laksh: Oh Swara is calling u. ( naughty smile) Kya baat hai.
Sanskar: Nothing she might want to know how presentation session went on.
Laksh: ohoo then lift the call & tell her that u won.
Sanskar: U want me to tell that I won?
Have some brain lucky. According to her we are only workers in this company.
Laksh( grinning sheepishly): I forgot. Atleast lift her call there are 9 missed calls. Seems like she is so eager to talk to u.
Sanskar: No I want to see her happy face so will tell her face to face.
Laksh: ahaan. Now u are coming on track.
Sanskar: shut up after what happened
yesterday I thought she’ll never talk to me. I was such a fool to talk like that.
Laksh: wait what are u talking about?
Sanskar: She didn’t tell u.
Laksh: about what?
Sanskar told how he shouted at her when all she asked is to go for a walk.
Laksh: how can u do that?
Sanskar: I’m left with no choice lucky. U know na how important this deal is & knowing that this golden opportunity slipped from my hand b4 I do my best made me out of control.
Laksh: ha but leave it. It’s my fault I shouldn’t have involved u in the middle.
Sanskar: Come to the point lucky.
Laksh: actually that time she was so bored so asked me to play with her or to come for a walk. I was in no mood so told her to ask you. All of this mess wouldn’t have happened if I agreed with her.
Sanskar: Don’t blame yourself unnecessarily.I shouldn’t have left my phone.I completely forgot that She learnt hacking through YouTube videos btw who expects Annapurna ma to call at 1:00 a.m.
Laksh: 1:00 a.m? What is Swara doing with you at that time.
Sanskar: That’s none of your business.
Laksh: Yeah right. Don’t ask me if u need some advice in future.
Sanskar ( sighing): fine I took her out.
Laksh: Now don’t tell me that u took her to beach.
Sanskar ( rubbing his forehead with right hand): No we went to Bittu uncle’s restaurant.
Laksh: Are you serious? I thought you’ll never take anyone there. I mean
I literally begged u 10 days ago to tell me where that place is & u didn’t.
Sanskar: Situation is different lucky. She skipped dinner that night bcoz of me.
Laksh: Stop lying u would have never done that if I were in her place.
To which Laksh received an angry glare.
Laksh: What? I won’t fear for your glares.Anyway I’m going to ask her about bittu uncle’s restaurant & will surely get address if u haven’t blindfolded her throughout the way. I know u didn’t coz u’re not that romantic.
Sanskar: I Will kill u if u do something like that. She probably is expecting me not to tell that to anyone.
Laksh: & how do u know that?
Swara: If not she would have directly answered Annapurna ma’s call.
Laksh: Whatever! u are going to pay for showing partiality b/w her & me.
Sanskar: Acchha do everything u want. Let me remind u she is special.
Laksh: Oh yeah & I’m an idiot.
Sanskar: true.
With that he walked out of his cabin to reach home.
At home
Sanskar : It’s 6:30 where is she?
It’s killing him inside that he was so rude to her that time & didn’t lift her calls. Only he knew how hard it was to stop himself from attending her calls.
Laksh: Swara called just now. She will come lately.
Sanskar: Why did she call only u?
Laksh: Don’t worry next time I’ll ask her to call our neighbours.
Laksh is not leaving any chance to irritate Sanskar as he was so angry about the restaurant thing. Laksh was always in praises whenever he tasted food brought from there. Sanskar used to bring him parcel but never took him there as it was his favourite place apart from office. Living in Mumbai one can rarely spot a less crowded pleasant location. Not that Sanskar was selfish. Most of us try not to disclose our favourite place when we ourselves found it. It was the same case for him as well.
At dinner
Swara was having her food silently unlike the other days. Swalak together
were true chatterboxes. They make up
to all those days they spent away. It was due to Dp & Rp that Sanskar’s whole family moved to other place whereas Shekhar & his family remained in Vijayawada( a place in Andhra Pradesh ) itself.
Knowing why Swara is angry Laksh didn’t understand how to cheer her up but Laksh is Laksh. He can’t tolerate this silence.
Laksh: so how was your day Swara?
Swara( looking only at her plate) as usual.
Laksh: any plans this weekend.
Swara:( still not looking at anyone) no.
He thought that it’s enough. If she is angry she should show it rather than being calm.
Laksh:( Serious face) I think u both should sort o…….Ouch.
Laksh knew that the kick was from Sanskar but still turned towards him.
B4 anything could happen Swara finished having food. So got up & then later went to her room.
This girl is dangerous when she is angry.
………
Happy New year everyone. Thanks for all the support u’ve been giving to this ff. It’s means a lot.
