Swara is still crying continuously.
Ap:( consoling) Swara beta, stop crying. If u cry u will get cold & after that u can’t eat ice creams for one week.
Swara:(sobbing) par lucky woh lucky is not getting up. Ask lucky to get up I want to play with him.
Sanskar: Ooi stop doing over action he won’t come back. Maa I told na to not allow her to watch serials now she is crying more than those heroines.
Swara ( angry+ hurt +sad) : U know na how much I like lucky even then u are talking like this.
Sanskar understood that she felt bad.
Sanskar: Acchha peanut listen.
Swara:( sad face) Don’t call me that.
Just then a person entered into the hall after waking up.
Laksh: ma kya hua?
An idea landed in Sanskar’s brain at that time.
Sanskar: Swara u are feeling that lucky went away na see we have another lucky in our home.
Swara: huh
Sanskar: Yes we have Laksh na. Even names are also in rhyming lucky, Laksh .
Swara: par lucky is dog na & Laksh is human.
Sanskar: so what? Both behave in the same way & face is also same to same.
Swara : hahaha ✋hi fi.
Laksh: Sanskar ?.
Sanskar: I’m over now?.
From then Swara & Sanskar started calling Laksh as lucky. Laksh denied at the beginning but those devils never listened .
Scene 3
Dp: What is this Laksh? Can’t u score good marks.
Laksh: papa my health is not good this time.
Dp: but that was just for one day what about remaining exams.
Laksh: papa I didn’t read the questions in question paper properly I did simple mistakes.
Dp: U said the same thing last time also.
Laksh: papa everyone does mistakes na.
Dp: Acchha learn something from Sanskar. He gets first in every exam. Why is he not doing mistakes then?
Laksh: papa woh…….
Dp: If u get the same third rank next time I will send u to tuition. Read properly.
Laksh started crying & told Swara about this when she asked why he is crying.
Few minutes later.
Sanskar came after going to computer classes.
Sanskar: hey peanut.
Swara: …………
Sanskar: ooi I’m talking to u only.
Swara: ( blank expression) ……….
Sanskar: ab kya hua.
Swara: ……..
Sanskar: Swara say something.
Swara: everything is bcoz of u only.
Sanskar: What did I do?
Swara went away from there but he followed her.
Sanskar:( catching Swara’s hand) arre bol na
Swara: who asked u to get first every time.
Sanskar: matlab?
Swara told him what happened with Laksh.
Sanskar: so?
Swara: so u are not going to get first rank next time then uncle will not scold lucky na.
Sanskar: What if dad scold me?
Swara: first time na no problem. Plsssssssssssssssssss.See if u want I will also not get first rank but I can’t see lucky crying.
Sanskar: OK I’ll try to write wrong answers but u should get first OK after all there should be someone from us holding that badge.
Swara: OK.
1.5 months later
Swara : What u told me huh?
Sanskar: peanut sorry na.
Swara: kya sorry ha? U lied to me that u didn’t read anything b4 social exam day.
Sanskar: promise I didn’t read that b4 day.
Swara: Then how did u get 24/25 ?
Sanskar: Paper is so easy so by mistake I wrote everything correctly.
Swara: Then where did u loose that 1 mark? Paper is soo easy na!
Sanskar:( sad) actually I remembered your promise while answering last bit so wrote wrong answer wantedly. I thought I will get 3rd but what do I do when remaining students didn’t read properly?
Swara: Awww Sanskar u are sooo cute.
Sanskar: u are not angry!
Swara: Why will I be? I felt sad for lucky being compared to u but this time even Lucky also got good marks.
Sanskar: I know u like him more than me.
Swara climbed on near by chair.
Swara: come here
Sanskar: No
Swara: Arre come na
After he came Swara gave a simple cute kiss on his cheeks saying that both are special to her in their own ways.
Flash back ends.
She certainly missed those days. Those days when they fought over Laksh. Those days when they fought lying that they didn’t like each other. Those days when only they knew that she is helping him indirectly in cheating many games with Laksh. Everything was magical that time. Swasanlak were surely heart of the house.
Her chain of memories were broken
by sound of door bell.
Swara: Yes.
Man: Mam this is for Swara Gadodia & I hope it’s u.
Swara: Yeah thanks.
She shut the door curiously waiting to know what’s in the box only to see all varieties of chocolates placed according to sizes.
After few minutes bell rang again.
Man: Good morning Mam We are from Amazon am I talking to miss Swara?
Swara: Yeah.
Man: This one’s ordered for u.
He gave & left immediately.
She went to her room this time to open the box o ly to notice fee novels.
Wait a minute were those books written by her favourite authors! This book is still not yet for sale how come it was available in Amazon were her thoughts after unwrapping her 2nd gift to say in particular.
Without allowing her brain to think further she jumped on to her bed. She loves sleeping after getting ready on Sundays as she feels that one gets best ideas in sleep or atleast while trying to do so.
Seems like no one wants her to enjoy a day off so the bell rang again but She was pissed off after hearing the bell.
Swara ( while opening the door) Who the hell is…..
She stopped inb/w after noticing that it’s Laksh.
Swara (formal expression): I thought I were inside the house.
Laksh: It was just a matter of 5 minutes so thought to go & come back quickly.
Don’t know why? but she is still talking formally with Laksh though he got nothing to do with everything Sanskar told her. She went back to her room to start reading a novel gifted by ????????????
She went back to room only to reminisce her childhood lieing down on her bed.
Flash back
Laksh( sad) : I’ll also miss you so much.
Swara:( sad): hmmm. Here take this gift.
Laksh: for me!
Swara: Yes orelse for whom!
Laksh: Thanks u can come to our new house on holidays na.
Swara: No lucky I don’t like travelling na but will try.
Ap:( shouting from hall) Laksh come here once.
Laksh: coming ma
He went from there & she was about to go with him.
Sanskar:( blocking her way) peanut I should talk to you.
She changed direction towards her room.
Sanskar: peanut I’m sorry but I can’t do anything now.
Sanskar: listen to me once.
She started running towards her room.
Sanskar: wait.
She was about to close the door but Sanskar had put his hand inbetween & while trying to remove his hand she hurted herself.
Sanskar( caressing her palm): is it paining ?
Swara: Let it be I should anyway get habitat to it.
Sanskar: Swara why are u talking like this?
Swara: What should I do then u won’t be there from tomorrow na!
Sanskar: I’m sorry it wasn’t my decision completely I told papa my view that’s it.
Swara: that’s it? What do u think of yourself? Huh that u are some Einstein to tell papa that no school here is good enough for you to study. U know what if u are that intelligent u should be able to study in the worst circumstances. All in all it was bcoz of you the entire family is moving to other place including Laksh.
Sanskar: Peanut it’s not like that I wanted to develop myself & the new school I’m going to join is one of its kind moreover u know all this na.
Swara: Whom will I play/ talk with from tomorrow! U & Lucky will make new friends forgetting me but what about me?
Sanskar: I’ll never forget you.
Swara( expression less face): Saying is easy but u can’t follow it.
Sanskar:( to lighten her up) OK leave all that now say me where’s my gift?
Swara: Which gift?
Sanskar: Arre u gave one to Laksh na.
Swara: so?
Sanskar: so theoretically I should also get one.
Swara: U talk with uncle about that first then will give you.
Sanskar: peanut we have spoken about this many times…..
Swara ( cutting him): I know atleast try once he might change his decision.
Sanskar: it’s not that easy.
Swara: Once plss for me.
Sanskar: I can’t.
Swara( confident face): OK then I’ll ask uncle.
Sanskar: No u shouldn’t
Swara: Why not?
Sanskar: U are not going to that’s it.
Swara:( angry) Why can’t u directly tell that u want to go away from here.
Sanskar: U are not understanding me.
Swara: Yes. I’m a fool so can’t understand intelligent people’s talks.
Sanskar: I didn’t…
Swara: stop acting Sanskar u never thought about others feelings while making that decision. Leave about me what about Ap, suju Aunty they will also miss might ma & papa na. It’s really waste talking to u.
She went her cupboard.
Swara: U were asking for gift right Take this. Go develop your skills you intelligent idiot.
She went away pretending as if not listening to what he said.
Flash back ends.
Her mood was completely spoiled after remembering that incident. Listening to the knock on her door she unwillingly got up.
Laksh: I was thinking of going out for dinner what say?
Swara: No mood lucky but the way we didn’t yet have lunch.
Laksh: Oh my did u just call me lucky.
Swara: No I called chimpanzee.
He was happy that she atleast replied sarcastically which is way better than those frighteningly calm one word answers.
Laksh: haha bad joke We are going that’s it. I’m going to talk with Sanskar.
…………………………….
Sanskar’s room
Laksh: hey bhai we are going out for dinner.
Sanskar: Not interested lucky.
Laksh: she is coming too.
Sanskar: I have work.
Laksh: U have the entire day to complete it.Believe me u won’t get this chance again & again.
Sanskar gave a “seriously lucky” look.
Laksh: so the plan is while having dinner I’ll make an excuse to go outside then u both talk & sort out the issues. Simple.
Sanskar: U know what I can talk to her even now & leave the work for the night. There’s that option too.
Saying so he walked towards her room.
Swara’s room
After what she remembered lately she couldn’t concentrate digging her other memories. It is hell frustrating thinking about that day. She knew that she could have behaved little well
but come on it was his mistake as well. While these thoughts captured her heart it was her brain which recognized sound of a knock to which she showed a reflex by opening the door.
What the hell! It was him standing at one hinge eyeing his mobile caught with one hand while the other rested on the adjacent wall. From his half lifted face it was clear that he had been knocking since pretty good amount of time.
Sanskar: What were u doing inside?
Huh he did everything & now asking me. Intelligent idiot.
