Chapter 6

To Hoard feelings wasn't just her type. She could either spit out or share it with someone. But she had to. Her feelings for Swayam were indescribable. Even she tried explaining she failed miserably. Alas,only if she knew how to express herself. None could expect that she'd fall one day secretly for Swayam. She didn't herself expect it. This was the predicament she always wanted to be struck in.No impediments.Swayam would lead her.Command her.Claim her as his.Claim her as his in front of the whole world.

Swayam: (realizing what he just said leaves Sharon's hand and turns to see Sharon's reaction)

Sharon: (lost in his eyes gives a satisfying smile)

Swayam: (turns immediately to face the gang)

Rey: ( hugs Swayam) toh finally dude...

Simmi:( confused all this time) Sharon tum...Swayam ki baath kar rahi thi ...??

Sharon: (praying that she shouldn't repeat what she said earlier that she loved him) ha...kyun(giving her a tensed and pleasing look)

Simmi: (realizing that she hasn't confessed to Swayam) haa...mein bhi na...silly me

Nilesh: Simmi tu chup reh...batao batao kisne kisko propose kiya??

Sharon:(wishing that could happen and sad)

Swayam: Guys its arranged!!! kisne kisko propose nahi ki...

Nilesh : Arranged !!(confused) Your parents decided this??

Swayam: Yes !!!

Gang: (understanding that they are still in the place where they were 5 years before) ufff...

They carried on with their work not troubling Swayam and Sharon with their questions.The entire day went on in preparing a plan for the evening dance classes to attract school going students.

Simmi drove Sharon to dance school today.Sharon hadn't drove herself.Almost everyone left expect Sharon and Swayam. Swayam always stayed back for long than others usually accompanied by Rey. Rey had to go to school to spread a word about their dance school so he left early.Sharon thought Simmi would wait for her but Simmi left early. Sharon stood confused.She wanted to ask Swayam to drop her but was scared. Swayam came out completing all his work saw Sharon standing.

Swayam: Sharon chalo mein tumhe drop kar deta hoon

Sharon: ( shocked) tumhe kaise pata chala mein aaj car nahi laayi hoon??

Swayam: Sharon ...we remember we park in the same parking lot

Sharon: ha toh ...

Swayam: toh mein roz tumhare car ke pass hi park kartha hoon aaj tumhara car nahi tha

Sharon: ohhh (thinking) It starts raining suddenly

Swayam: Sharon you will catch cold get in the car fast ..

Sharon: yeah ( gets in the car)

Swayam: close windows

Sharon: Yeah

Swayam puts on the AC as he wasn't able to see properly.

Sharon: Ohhh Swayam ...AC ??(angry)

Swayam: ha toh mujhe kuch dekh nahi raha ...vaise bhi mein tumhare dad ko disappointment nahi karna chahtha ...you see agar tumhe kuch hogaya toh tumhare dad mujhe abhi se doubt karne lagenge...I mean before engagement and shaadi...any kind of risk I will take after the wedding(said all this in one breath and realizes what he said suddenly stops)

Sharon: ruk kyun gaye?? aur baath karo na acha lag raha hai mujhe

Swayam: ohh kuch nahi

Sharon: acha car mein koi blanket ya shawl hai kya ...AC and upar se its raining ..its cold

Swayam: Yeah back seat mein hai lelo

Sharon: Yeh kiska hai

Swayam: Kiska hoga mera hai..

Sharon: what do you do with a shawl

Swayam: The same what you are doing now

Sharon: (gives him an angry look)

Swayam: woh..we went to a hill station last month ...you know family vacation ..so I used this to protect my body(being sarcastic)

Sharon: (Didn't answer)

Sharon: (takes the shawl and sits with her legs crossed on the seat and covers herself fully and only her face is visible) ... Pata hai Swayam winter is my fav. season

Swayam: (just listening ) hm...

Sharon: and rainy season bhi acha hai par nothing like winter

Swayam: hm...

Sharon: Do you have any slow songs on your playlist ??

Swayam: Yeah some english songs...

Sharon: nahi hindi ???

Swayam: hm...nahi kyun??

Sharon: Oh...Don't you know that I like hindi songs??(expecting him to know)

Swayam: Ofcourse I know but I don't have them..

Sharon: Acha koi problem nahi...Radio sunte hai ..(turns on the radio)

Music starts

Sharon: ohhh yeaahhh (excited) this is my fav song Swayam pata hai..

Swayam: gana abhi shuru bhi nahi hua how do you which song it is ???

Sharon: ohh common this is my fav...how can I not know ??

Swayam: hm...

saanson ko saanson mein dhalne do zara
dheemi si dhadkan ko badhne do zara
lamhon ki guzarish hai yeh paas aa jaayen
hum.. hum tum..
tum.. hum tum..

aankhon mein humko utarne do zara
baahon mein humko pighalne do zara
lamhon ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaayen
hum.. hum tum..
tum.. hum tum..

(For those of you who don't know the song its Hum tum title song or saason ko saason mein dalne do zara)

Sharon still fully covered in the blanket and enjoying the song.Swayam stealing glances at Sharon and also driving slowly.

She was diffident to move around Swayam normally without loosing self.Seeing herself composed and cool when he is close relaxed her mind.No discrepancy in both their feelings.No regrets of not being together earlier.One common thing they enjoyed was the silence. This moment has already become the most cherished of her life.Close to him.Close to nature.Close to self.Close to silence.Close to everything she probably knew.The heat the shawl was generating added more to her feeling.

salvatein kahin karwatein kahin
phail jaaye kaajal bhi tera
nazron mein ho guzarta hua
khwabon ka koi kafila
jismon ko ruhon ko jalne do zara
sharmohaya ko machalne do zara
lamhon ki guzarish hai Yeh paas aa jaayen
hum.. hum tum..
tum.. hum tum..

Swayam was not his usual herself.She loved winter and he started loving monsoon only for having her close.Had it not been the rain she wouldn't have accepted his help.Little did he know she was waiting for him for over half an hour to take notice of her.She wouldn't let him go alone and miss the chance to stay close to him in this romantic climate.Sharon leaned her head against the seat enjoying the song closely closing her eyes.

chhoo lo badan magar is tarah
jaise sureela saaz ho
andhere chhupe tere zulf mein
kholo ke raat azaad ho
aanchal ko seene se dhalne do zara
shabnam ki boondein phisalne do zara
lamho ki guzarish hai Yeh paas aa jaayen
hum.. hum tum..
tum.. hum tum..

Her serendipity feelings amazed him.This song reminded her of the days when she was confused about her feelings for Swayam.Reminded her of days when she groped for an answer.Tad happiness took over her as he was close to her.Their feelings were pure.As pure as fire.As pure as anyone could ever describe.

They reached her house.It was hardly ten minutes from her place.She was still lost in the song and also in her memories which were associated with the song.Swayam didn't want to disturb her but he had the overdose of her sweetness today.He knew if he stayed with her for long he would lose himself.

Swayam: tumhara ghar aagaya hai...

Sharon: ahh Swayam ...don't talk...

saanson ko saanson mein dhalne do zara
dheemi si dhadkan ko badhne do zara

baahon mein humko pighalne do zara

lamhon ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaayen
hum.. hum tum..
tum.. hum tum..

Sharon: (after listening to the entire song) ahhh(satisfied) Now I will leave

Swayam: Were you waiting for the song to complete??

Sharon: of course...acha mein yeh shawl apne paas kar loon...vaise bhi it makes no difference jo bhi mere paas bhi woh tumhara hai and jo bhi tumhare paas hai woh mera hai(said in one breath)

Swayam: (shocked and confused)(thought to himself...is she taking marriage counselling from her mom??) hm...Yeah

Sharon: Ok byeee cya at school tomorrow(gives a big smile)

Swayam: Bye(to himself...yaar yeh itni...cute hogi..kabhi socha nahi tha...cute hai pata tha but itni cute..shawl ko bachi ki tarah puri body cover karne ke liye use kiya...aur itni romantic gaane sunthi hai..aut woh bhi hindi gaane god...)

Swayam reaches home.Every minute.Every second reminded him of the wonderful time with her.The roads which he was bored of looked new.She made the path look picturesque.He never enjoyed driving back home.His mom opened the door for him.

Swayam's Mom: hello beta...

Swayam: hiii maaa(very happy)

Swayam's Mom:(Observing him being happy) ...Someone's very happy isn't it??

Swayam: ohh Mom nothing like that(trying to hide his excitement)

Swayam's Mom: kya kare...this universe is designed in such a way that mom's are the first one to notice the happiness of their children...

Swayam:(to himself...yeh mom se kuch puchaye nahi puchtha..) I'm happy Mom.

Swayam's Mom: Aren't you happy to be getting married to her ??

Swayam: ( shocked with his mom's direct question) aisa kuch nahi hai mom

Swayam's mom: Really now...tumhe lagtha hai tumhara room and the shelves in your room are clean for years without cleaning...

Swayam: What is the relevance of my room and the shelves in this... Mom(being sarcastic)

Swayam's Mom: Yahiii kiii...tumne jo photos rake hai...I mean SHARON'S CORNER I've have been cleaning it since 5years now and I know what you feel for that girl...

Swayam: (almost died) Mommm...This isn't fair how can you check my room

Swayam's mom: who was checking it ..ohho ..I was cleaning it..

Swayam: nahi ...mom(angry)

Swayam's Mom: ohh hello Shouldn't you be thanking for keeping your lover's photos clean

Swayam: kuch bhi(went into his room)

Swayam's mom: Swayam ...Swayam bata na are you not happy ??(following him to his room)

Swayam:(trying to avoid conversation)...mom please I'm tired..

Swayam's Mom: ok fine(angrily gets up and starts to leave)

Swayam:(running to her) Ma ...ma ...Ma...I'm...I'm...

Swayam's Mom: ha...Bol...bol... Don't you like her??(winking)

Swayam:Mom(taking a deep breath) I'm happy and also I like her...

Swayam's Mom: (hugs him) I know...
