The curtains had been wide open for quite some time now letting the sharp sun rays of the sun stream in through the open window on to the face of a beautiful girl. The sun rays disturbed her sleep.she turned the other side.
“Swara…. Swara…. Get up beta!!”
~No response~
Her mother opened the door of her room and walked in.
Sumi: Get up beta,its too late. You have to go to college today.
Swara: Maa please 5 mins more.
Swara withdrew under her bed sheets.
Sumi: Okay, I am going down I will come back in 5 mins.
~After Five minutes~
Sumi: Shona! Now this is too much. Get up or else I won’t give you chocolates.
Swara: Maa,no emotional blackmail. I am getting up.
Swara got up, washed her face. She took out a white churidar,pink kammez along with a white duppata. She got ready in her dress. She came down.
Swara: Maa!!! Where is my chocolate?
Sumi: Chocolate?? Which chocolate??
Swara: Maaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Not faIRRRRRR!!!!!!
Sumi: Shona, I will give it you when you will return in the evening.
Swara: Promise????
Sumi: Yess baby.
Swara happily goes to her college.
Swara: My Shona is very innocent. She is like a child. Her heart is pure as a kid. God knows whom he have made for my shone.
Swara Gadodia,A first year student of Maulana Azad Medical College, one of the best medical colleges. Though she was a girl of 20 years but her heart was of a child. She was very innocent. she was a book worm. Her dreams were fulfilled when she was admitted to this college. She was the CBSE topper of her region. she always led a simple life. She was a simple girl with simple desire. She never partied, never smoked,never drank. She never felt the need to. But only one thing was important for her and it was chocolate.
The auto parked infront of the gate of her college. she got out of it And started walking. Fear clouded her mind when she entered the examination hall. tough she had finished the course but she was tensed.
While she was writing her answers, the boy next bench called her. she looked at that boy and smiled hesitantly. The boy asked him to show answers. So did Swara. She showed him few answers. Half an hour before the exam ended, she left the examination hall.
“SWARA!!”, avoice came from back.
Swara turned and saw it was the same boy who had asked her for help. Her heart beat became faster. As he was not only ordinary boy,he was her crush Sanskar.
Sanskar Maheswari, a boy too in 1st year of that college. He is a handsome,hot,flirty guy. He is every girl’s dream. To everyone in the college he is a stud and heart breaker. He is not a book worm like Swara. He is the son of the business tycoon Ram Prasad Maheswari. His father wants him to hold a medical degree. He had got admissions in that college by donations.
Sanskar: Swara! Thank you.
Swara: For??
Sanskar: Helping me in the exams.
Swara: Welcome.
Sanskar took her hand in his. Swara pulled back her hand and went away. Sanskar looked at Swara shockingly. Every girl want him to touch them but this girl is different. His thoughts were disturbed when his gang arrived.
Laksh: Sanskar, what are you thinking?
Sanskar: Nothing Laksh.
Kavita: Sanskar that girl jerked your touch???
Sanskar: Nothing like that. I was just thanking her for helping.
Laksh: Dude! We had seen when you tried to touch her she pulled her hands back nd went.
Sanskar: Guys! She is not that girl meant for flirting. So leave her.
Kavita: But Sanky she kicked your touch??? Your touch??? For which girls dieee….
Sanskar:No Kavi,there is nothing like that. I don’t want to be with her.
Laksh: I bet you can never bring her to bed.
Sanskar: No Laksh.
Kavita: So you lose??
Sanskar: Sanskar never loses. Just wait and watch.
~Time Passed~
Sanskar: Can I sit here?
Swara: Haan sit.
Sanskar: So,Swara! Ho was your exams?
Swara: It was good. But how do you know me?
Sanskar: Who in the 1st year does not knows the topper??
Swara: I always wanted to be a doctor. Ever since the time I was a little kid, I liked the sweet medicine which my pediatrician prescribed me. I used to fake illness to go to the hospital and know about medicines. What about you?
Sanskar: My father wants me to be a doctor. But I bet you will be a great doctor. I wish you could teach me.
Swara: I can teach you.
Sanskar: thanks, you can come to my house to teach me.
Sanskar slowly touches her hand. Swara removes her hand. Sanskar smiles and hold her hand tightly. Swara takes off his hand from hers.
Swara: Now I should go. Bye. I will come tomorrow.
Sanskar: Bye.
Swara goes.
Sanskar: Swara you are such an idiot to trust me. Get ready to get into my trap.
~Next day~
Swara comes to Sanskar’s house to teach him. She comes inside a room where Sanskar was lying. Seeing her Sanskar got up. Swara teached him for an hour. While teaching Swara noticed Sanskar staring at her. She felt uncomfortable.
Sanskar: Swara can I ask you something?
Swara: Yes.
Sanaksr: Why do you always smile?
Swara: Each morning when you open your eyes, you are gifted 86,400 seconds to make a difference. and that by itself is worth celebrating.
Sanskar was deeply moved by her words.
Swara: Accha I am going.
Sanskar: Byeee.
Swara goes.
Sanskar: Swara,you are getting in my trap.
Sanskar smirks at her.
Few days have passed and Swara had complete trust on Sanskar. Swara had fallen in love with him. Even Sanskar too had started feeling for her but he did not knew it.
One day Swara had gone to Sanskar’s house to teach him. While returning it was raining heavily. There was no one in his house. They were standing outside the door.
Swara: How will I go?
Sanskar: Stay here. You can go tomorrow.
Swara: No.
Sanaksr: Then wait till the rain stops.
Swara: Yes. Bdw the rain is very beautiful nah?
Sanskar: Beautiful?? Wait…
Sanskar splashes water on her face.
Swara: Sanksar! What you did!!! Wait!!
Swara pushed Sanskar into the rain. Swara laughed seeing him wet. Sanskar pulled her hand and Swara’s face was very close to his. Sanskar got mesmerized seeing her. He touched her face. she backend her stpes. But Sanskar pulled her waist tightly. Swara’s lips touched his. They had a eye lock. Swara turned back. Sanskar touched the nape of her neck. Swara felt a current passing through her body. He touched her face,her lips. He stared her with love but was unaware of his feelings.
Kaise bataye,kaise jataye
Subah tak tujhme jeena chahien
Bheege labon ke,geeli hansi ko
Peene ka mausum hai peena chahein
Sanskar turned Swara and tucked her hair that feel on her face behind her ears.
Ik baat kahoon kya izzazat hai
Tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
Aadat hai… O… aadat hai
Swara buried her face in his chest,while he wrapped an arm around her. Then Swara pushed him and ran towards the house.
Ehsaas tere aur mere toh
Ik dooje se judd rahe
Ik teri talab mujhe aisi lagi
Mere hosh bhi udne lage
Mujhe milta sukoon teri baahon mein
Jannat jaisi ek raahat hai
Sanskar cupped Swar’s face and kissed her eyes. Swara hugged Sanskar tightly.
Ik baat kahoon kya ijazat hai
Tere ishq ki mujhko..
Aadat hai o.. aadat hai..
Sanskar lifted Swara and placed on her the bed. Swara held her collar and closed her eyes.
Kyun sabse juda, kyun sabse alag
Andaaz tere lagte..
Besaakh ta hum saaye se tere
Har shaam lipat’te hain
Har waqt mera, qurbat mein teri
Jab guzre toh ibadat hai
Sanskar sealed her lips with a kiss. He started off kissing her neck. He moved closer and kissed her lips again. Swara too kissed back. Sanskar draped a blanket over them.
Ik baat kahoon kya ijazat hai
Tere ishq ki mujhko..
Aadat hai…O.. Aadat hai..!!
Sanskar: I love you Swara.
Swara smiled and placed her head on his chest
~Lights off!!~
Laksh: Duse you are great!
Kavita: I cannot believe that topper with you!!!
Sanskar: I told nah Sanskar never looses bet.
Laksh: Yes booss.
Then Swara came there
Swara: Sanskar why are you ignoring me?
Sanskar(thinking): I need to stay away from her. god knows why I feel bad when I see her sad. This girl is making me mad.
Sanskar goes away. Swara was about to follow him but Kavita stopped her.
Kavita: Stop following Sanskar. He does not love you.
Swara: What the hell.
Kavita: It was just a bed to get you on bed. How can you think that Sanskar will love a girl like you
Swara was taken aback by this statement. She felt helpless. She felt betrayed. Swara stood there numb with tears rolling dowm
~~
Sanskar was feeling restless. He closed his eyes and remembered about the moments spent with her. He saw Swara,her eyes,her smile,their moments and Sanskar smiled. Someone within shouted-You are in love with Swara.
Sanskar: Love?? Swara?? No!! It was just a bet.
Just then he saw Laksh consoling Swara. He felt very angry.
Someone within him shouted- You are feeling jealous because Swara is with Laksh. You are feeling restless because she is not with you. You are in madly love I with her.
Sanskar: Swara!! I love you. I love you more than my life.
Then Sanskar runs to Swara but Kavita stops him.
Kavita: Where are you going Sanky?
Sanskar: I am going to Swara. I love her.
Kavita: Wait!! No!!! I told het about the bet.
Sanskar: What??????????
~~
Why is that we recognize love only when it ends? Love isn’t a addiction. ,its an attachment and obsession that causes destruction. The death of love!
Swara was walking alone the road crying.
Swara: Why did you do this to me? Why? I loved you. I had a crush on you since the first day of our college. But I always suppressed my feelings and you……
“ I love you Shona!”, a voice came from back.
Swara turned and Saw Sanskar.
Sanskar: Swara! I love you. I know its hard for you to forgive me but please trust me.
Swara: You played with my emotions and now it’s all over. You left without thinking of my pain once. You swept me like dust on floor. You bet on me? Should I think that you just used me?
Sanskar: I was a fool to bet on you. But you changed me. Now I realized that really I love you. I lost the moment when you left me. I don’t want to go back and brood over what happened between us.
Swara: Stop it Sanskar. Now I just don’t believe you. Just go and die.
Sanskar: If you don’t want me to live, then I won’t. Byeee
Swara heard the horn of a heavy vehicle. She turned and saw it was a truck and Sanskar was standing there with open arms
Swara: SANSKAR!!
Swara ran towards him and pushed him. Both of them feel on the road. Swara fell on Sanskar.
Swara: Are you mad? If something would have happened to you then??
Sanskar: You said me to die.
Swara was speechless.She got up and turned.
Sanskar: You said me to die then why are you worried? Answer my question.
Swara: Because I love you!
Swara turned back and hugged him.
Swara: I love you. Will you always love me?
Sanskar: I will love you till my last breath.
Don’t love the person who is there to have a good time with you. Love the person who really suffers for you because e that is true love.
