Swasan-TRUST (episode 2)

His POV
“Uttara” “uttara” i screamed as soon as i saw her passing.
“Bro? What do want from me?” She turned with her hands crossed.
“How did you know that i want something from you?” I asked.
“That’s because you come to me when you need something” shefrowned.
“Come on that’s not true….. you know how busy i be” i explained.
She rolled her eyes “Come to the point”
“Okay…so i need notes exams in two days” i sighed.
She took a copy from her bag”here you go”
“You had got them before hand? You’re the best uttara sister” i hugged her.
“Urgh get of me….you’re such a annoying rakhi brother. You know i don’t like hugs but still” she said pushing me away.
“Okay fine…calm down”
“By the way these notes costs an ice cream treat”
“Your wish is my command…come let’s go.”
I took her for ice creams. She is been tying rakhi for me since i was 10. One day i came home crying since i didn’t have any sister that day mom took shopping along with her and there i met Uttara crying that she doesn’t have a brother and all her friends tie rakhi to their brothers except her. So then it all began. She visits me reguraly. With that my phone buzzed.
“Ahh…uttara mom’s calling…need to go. Shall i drop you anywhere?”
“No… i will go by myself. Bye and come on time fr the paper or else i get a gift?”
“No …you’re not going to. I will come on time. You better be ready to cook for me” i winked at her and left.
It was always that i get late for my exams so to overcome that uttara challenges me that if i come late she gets a gift or else she has to cook for me which till date has never happened bit this time is going to happen.
I went home glancing at my mom over the stool pulling out something from top of the cupboard.
“Mom? Get down immediately… if something happens to you then?” I shouted at her.
“Stop over reacting sanskar.. its a petite thing and i can do that. Its not that m climbing the everest and waiting to jump from there” mom said mockingly.
“Very funny but its not… last time you had slipped from the stool and still using it. How can you take things casually?”
“You can’t stay at home sanskar thinking about the weather outside. You have to go and move on”
I rolled my eyes thinking no one can argue with my mom “fine…why did you call me so urgently?”
“Ohh yea… your nanu is been asking about you…go and meet him once” and the added “he wants some of the old stuff so take them along with you and don’t forget to take food from the kitchen counter and give him”
“Why don’t he live with us? He’s so old and then he stays alone wighout any servants accompanying him”
“Well…you ask him about it once you go there”mom said as she dusted her hands.
“I will convince him to come here”
“I tried many times but now m fed up.. you go and ask him” she said.
“Fine”
I left from there taking the containers. I reached nanu’s place in thirty minutes and walked in seeing the door open.
“Nanu?”
I saw a girl in the living room holding some money in her hand. I kept the containers on the table slowly without making any noise. And walked slowly towards the girl with the pink panther tone in my mind.
I pulled the girl by her wrist and placed my hand on her mouth about to say something.
“What have to come to steal from here? Huh? Wasn’t that money in your hand enough to go from here? And where’s my nanu? What did you do with him? Huh?”
I looked at her for answers. “Answer me”
She struggled to remove her hand from my grip but failed.
I said “answer me”
She looked at me and signed with her eyes about my hand on her mouth i took it off but didn’t leave my grip from her hand.
“Listen..”..she began.
“Ohh sanskar.. what are you doing to swana?” Nanu asked me.
“Its Swara sir” the girl said
“Nanu you know her?” I asked.
“Yes…she’s a paying guest in our above flat” nanu cleared.
“Sir.. here you go your month’s rent”saying so she glanced at me givinv me an angry stare.
What have i done? I simply accused her.
“Well thanks and please don’t call me sir.. you can call me dadu or nanu or uncle” nanu added.
She just gave him a smile and went out again givibg me an angry glare.
“What happened sanskar? Do you like her?'” He teased me.
“No..i mean nothing..”
“Why are you staring at her from the time you came in?” Be questioned me.
And i explained what i had done.
He laughed”are you mad? You simply scared her and accused her. Go and apologize to her”
I scratched my head and said yes and went to her.
Swara’s POV
What does he think of himself? How can he just accuse me like that. Pyscho. He twisted my hand for no reason and now i got his prints on mine. Idiot…mad dog must have bitten him. I looked into the mirror…
Is my face not trust worthy? Why does everyone not trust me? Do i not look like a trust worthy person?
Tears made their way down my cheek and i left in my thoughts. They got interrupted by a knock on the door.
I went to open and saw him standing.
“Actually…” he started and then stared at me.
“What?”
“Were you crying?”
“Do i need to take your permission to cry? What have you come here for? Was it not enough thst you accused me stealing that you’re here to say something more?”
“I just came to say sorry.. i know it was my mistake and m sorry for that” he apologized.
“I really don’t care about what you think of me. So just go from here. I don’t need your apologies”
“But…”
I slammed the door on his face. But he kept on knocking.
“M sorry yaar…i know i did a mistake but just forgive me once” he pleaded from outside.
I opened the door again and leaned on the door frame.
“That’s good first make mistske then blame others and then apologize as if you’re doing a favour on me” i literally frowned at him.
“I know it was mistake and i need you to forgive me. Come on i m a human and m bound to make mistakes. I m not perfect. Please forgive me i m very sorry. If you say i m ready to do squads too”
There was something in him. Till date no one was so desperate in my life who needed forgiveness. Usually their ego would come in between but he had something different in him.
“Hello?” He snapped his fingers breaking my thoughts.
“Do you really want me to do squads?” He asked innocently.
A smile crept on my face unknowingly.
“No… its ok.. i over reacted”
“So m i forgiven?” He asked confirming.
“Yes”
“By the way m sanskar”
“Swara”
“So friends?” He asked.
But i didn’t want any relationship though it was friendship but no. I should get myself driven. All i want is formal relationships.
“Listen.. i accepted your apology and i think that’s it. I don’t want to make any friendship or friends or even any other relationships” i explained to him.
“No problem… but i think we will be friends one day” he said and added “sorry once again”
“Its fine” and i closed the door.

The thing was i don’t want anyone in my life is because they always break my heart. M just like a toy for everyone when they want give me huggs and kisses otherwise just dump at one place. They always break my trust. I don’t want my heart to be broken again which is still shattered.
