Part Two

Swayam distracted himself from the thought that Sharon was not comfortable being a part of his happiness but bloody hell ho hi nahi raha tha.. He was yet standing in one corner looking at his friends..

Rey came and stood next to him putting his hand around his shoulder..

Rey (looking at their friends): Missing her.. Hai na?

Swayam (fumbling): Kaun.. Kya baat kar raha hai tu?

Rey (looking at him): Atleast mujhse toh mat chupa..

Swayam: Sach main koi baat nahi hai..

Rey (smirking): Toh main kahan keh raha hu ke koi baat hai?!

Swayam (a bit irritated): Tu na..

And he just walks away.. He just didn't want to fall in Rey's trap so he thought it was better to just have fun with his friends.. Keeping his thoughts aside he danced.. laughed and enjoyed with his friends trying to cover up the incomplete feeling he was going through..

In Sharon's room..

Sharon was sitting on her window pane with a cup of coffee in her hand.. Her mind was blank.. She just didn't want to think about anything.. That was surely one of her favourite place something like the thinking spot.. but she didn't realise that she ended up sitting on her thinking spot every night in the past few days.. The moon was hid behind the dark clouds so she shifted her gaze to one part of the sky which was blank.. No stars twinkling there.. While gazing there she suddenly saw picture of Swayam being surprised looking at the arrangements done for his birthday.. The reel of thoughts stopped at his smile and twinkling eyes.. Sharon got comfortable in her position and a smile crept on her angelic face as well.. Then she closed her eyes as she heard the most beautiful melody ringing in her ears.. His Laughter.. Her smile just grew wider and wider with each passing moment..

The sudden knock on her room door got her out of her thoughts.. Her forehead creased and she went to the door to open it.. But went numb as soon as she saw the person standing in front of her.. Her eyes went wide open and she lost her voice somewhere..

Person: Tum kyun chali aayi Sharon?

A tear trickled down her hazel orbs.. The pain in that voice.. The blooded shot eyes and the tear stained face pricked her too bad.. That person took a step forward and Sharon stumbled back a few steps.. Before she tripped the person held her hand firmly.. Sharon straighten herself and got out of his grip first.. She turned and walked a few steps into the room and away from him..

Sharon: Tumhe yahan nahi hona chahiye Swayam..

Swayam stood right behind her at minimal distance..

Swayam (huskily): Tum kyun chali aayi Sharon?

Sharon closed her eyes and gulped down trying to control her tears but it was just too difficult to do that with the intimacy they were sharing.. She curled her fist tight in an urge to stop herself from breaking down

Swayam took another step forward due to which her back was touching his torso.. He slowly moved his hands over her fist and held it.. She subconsciously leaned backwards over him.. His touch was doing its work.. Her tensed muscles began to relax and her fist opened up.. Her eyes yet closed.. His hot on her shoulder was playing havoc with poor heart that was just increasing its speed..

He filled in the gap between her fingers with his holding them possessively.. Swayam too had his eyes closed as he was feeling bliss with her presence so close to him.. He took one of their intertwined hands and placed it on her stomach pulling her closer..

Swayam: Tum kyun chali aayi Sharon?

That was it.. Her eyes jerked open and she realised their position.. She jerked out of his grip and took a few steps forward without turning back..

Sharon (trying to be bitter): Chale jao yahan se..

She didn't feeling him budging from his place.. Gathering all the courage she had, she slowly turned to look at him.. And what she saw confused her but she immediately covered up with an expressionless face.. He was smiling looking at her.. She didn't like what she saw in his eyes.. They were continuously saying Stop lying'..

Swayam saw her avoiding his gaze so thus took a step forward and she one backward.. Continuing walking backwards while trying to avoid his gaze she was obstructed by the wall.. But he didn't stop.. He walked closer and closer.. He took another step forward and there was just a few millimetres gap left between them.. He started moving his face closer to hers and rested one hand on the wall for support.. She finally looked at him and no soon was lost in his deep chocolaty orbs.. As he advanced she closed her eyes feeling his blazing breath on her face.. She felt his rough skin touch her soft cheek.. She gulped once again not trying to make it audible to him.. She felt his lips almost touch her earlobes which got goose bumps all over her body..

Swayam (in her ear): Tum kyun chali aayi Sharon?

Sharon (softly): Kyunki tum mere bina hi khush ho..

Swayam: I love you..

Sharon didn't open her eyes or react.. Swayam slowly moved to look at her but stopped at her cheek.. He placed a deep loving peck on her cheek and then moved a bit backwards but not away from her.. He saw tears streaming down from the corner of her eyes.. She had silently started sobbing but with her eyes closed but there was also a smile that spoke millions of words.. He moved his hand upwards and cupped her face with one hand..

Swayam: Aankhe kholo Sharon..

Sharon slightly nodded negatively.. Her head fell back and rested on the wall..

Swayam (softly): Open your eyes, my love..

Sharon (between her sobs): Sapna tut jayega..

Swayam smiled at her innocence and cupped her faced with the other hand too.. He rested his forehead on hers and looked at he with utmost love.. He himself had tears but of content..

Swayam (softly): Nahi tutne dunga.. Tumhare iss sapne ko.. Open your eyes..

Sharon smiled between her tears listening to what he said.. Finally obeying his orders she opened her eyes..

The smile that was dancing on her face.. Vanished.. She looked around but.. Found nothing.. Found no one.. She realised she was dreaming!.. Dreaming about Swayam coming back to her.. This surely wasn't a pleasant feeling for her as heart just felt heavy.. She found herself sitting by the window pane and her coffee mug lying infront of her.. Her left something wet on her cheeks..

She had tears flowing down without her knowledge.. She wiped them from her cheek and held her hand in front of her eyes.. She half smiled..

Sharon (in mind): Swayam toh sapno main bhi mera nahi ho sakta..

She had cried so much by now that her eyes couldn't shed anymore tears.. Her heart had gone through so much of pain that it was too numb to feel anything..Her thoughts were interrupted by her blaring phone that was ringing for god know how long.. She reached out her hand and checked about 10 missed calls from Rey.. Thinking that there must be something needed in the party she thought of calling him back immediately..

Sharon: Hey Rey! Kya hua? Kuch chahiye kya? Sorry woh mobile silent pet ha iss liye nahi dekha.. But is everything fine?

Rey: Hey! Hey! Relax Sharon.. Mujhe bolne toh do..

Sharon (closing her eyes realising her stupidity): Sorry.. Hmm bolo..

Rey: Tum theek ho?

Sharon: aa.. Haan.. Mujhe kya hona tha?

Rey: Nahi bas aise hi.. Waise tumhara jo kaam tha woh ho gaya?

Sharon (confused): Kaun sa kaam?

Rey: Jiske liye tum.. out of all the people.. Swayam ki birthday party chod ke chali gayi..

Sharon: Haan..woh.. kaam ho gaya..

Rey: Jhoot bolna Sharon Rai Prakash ko suit nahi karta..

Sharon (diverting the topic): Rey woh tum sab ko inform kar dena ke subh 7 baje sharp tumhare ghar par mile..

Rey: Par kyun?

Sharon: Swayam ka birthday celebration continue karne ka aage ka plan hai..

Rey: And what is the plan?

Sharon: Woh tumhe aur baaki sab ko kal subh pata chal jayega

Rey: Aur..

Sharon (cutting Rey): Rey kal subh baat kare please? Main bahut thak gayi hu.. I need to sleep..

Rey: Ok.. See you in the morning.. Bye.. Good Night..

Sharon: Bye.. Good night!
