After almost a week Swayam found himself back at Sharon's doorstep.
"Swayam? What are doing here?" Sharon said surprised.
"I miss my girlfriend and wanted to meet her." He said.
"You have very bad timing. I was just leaving for work." Sharon said.
"That's today? I thought it was tomorrow." Swayam replied.
"Well it's today and I have to leave now." Sharon said.
"Actually Sharon I wanted to talk to you about something." Swayam said.
"Okay you have 5 minutes. Shoot." Sharon said.
"You know how you entered the dance competition and came third. You enjoyed it so much and it made you do happy." Swayam said.
"I remember that Swayam but I think you're just going in circles." Sharon said impatiently.
"Right. It's just that I thought after the show ended you would focus more on dancing." Swayam said nervously.
"I feel like it's a heavy topic and I really can't talk about this now. Do you want me to be late on the first day?" Sharon said.
"Of course I don't love but we will talk about this later." Swayam said.
"Alright. Now let's go. Don't you also have work to do?" Sharon replied.
"Ah yes. I'm really not sure how I'll be able to convince these people. They are dead set on their ideas and don't want any changes in them which frankly is not possible." Swayam said.
"I'm sure you'll convince them. Just be the charming self you always are." Sharon assured him.
"So you find me charming Sharon Rai Prakash." Swayam said leaning towards her.
"Not now Shekhawat. In a normal situation I would be furiously blushing but now I'm too stressed because I'll be late because of my boyfriend." Sharon said.
"And your boyfriend has a motorcycle which can reach any location pretty quickly." Swayam said.
"Not if my boyfriend is riding it." Sharon answered.
"Ouch Sharon. Your boyfriend is right in front of you, can't you be a bit gentle." He said.
"I don't think so. Can we leave already?" Sharon replied.
"After you." Swayam said and opened the door for her.
So they both left Sharon's flat with both of their heads buzzing with thoughts. Swayam didn't want to talk about this topic right now itself but it had been going on his mind for a long time and the more he delayed it, the more it would have made him restless. He knew that it would definitely lead to an argument even if it could be a small one but he had to do something about it. He had never seen anybody in his personal life working towards achieving their dreams. His father started working at a very young age to support his family while his mother had to stop working because she felt that was the best for the upbringing of the children. He himself had never particularly had something he dreamt about that he wanted to passionately fulfill. He couldn't just let Sharon throw her dream of being a dancer on the backseat like she has been doing.
Sharon on the other end was confused as to why Swayam to talk about this topic right now. She knew he only wanted the best for her but she made her decision after a lot of thoughtful thinking. The fact was even thought she started the managing job just as a source of income, over the course of time it became more than that. She enjoyed every aspect of it, even the neurotic deadlines. She was excited for today and it would be a good experience to work with children. As she thought about Swayam, she knew they had to clear out the talk. The more quickly a discussion is solved, the better it was.
Swayam quietly rode as they both were in deep thoughts. When he stopped in front of Sharon's new workplace, Sharon got down and stopped him before he went to his.
"Thank you Swayam." Sharon said with a smile.
"Anytime Sharon. All the best for today." He replied.
"Same to you and please don't be tensed. I hate that expression on you." Sharon said as she stroked his hair.
"What expression?" Swayam asked.
"You all make it when you're tensed and thinking about something. It looks something like this." She said and attempted to make his tensed face.
"I don't make that face." Swayam replied offended.
"Yes you do." She said.
"No I don't. Now, weren't you going to be late to work?" Swayam said.
"Oh god. I'm going, I'm going." Sharon said as she held her hands up in surrender.
"Bye. When do you leave? I can come and pick you up." Swayam said.
"Around 6 I guess." Sharon replied.
"I'll be there." Swayam said and put on his helmet.
"Swayam wait." Sharon called out.
"What Sharon?" He asked as he flipped his visor up.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too." He replied.
Sharon smiled and watched him ride away till his figure faded out.
"Right, now back to work." She declared to herself.
Sharon got out of her workplace at around 6 in the evening after a long day of planning and paperwork. Breathing in the slightly musty air around, she examined her surroundings. It was opposite of the area around the theatre. While the theatre was in a secluded yet quaint little place, the current building was located in a commercial set up. The good thing was that there was fair bit of silence around here to help people work peacefully. Sharon wished to go back to the job at the theatre. She missed the place and even the small coffee shop near it. She needed to visit the place again. Her trail of thoughts was broken buy a continuous honk.
"Hey. Good evening Mr. Shekhawat." She said when she recognized the person honking at her.
"Good evening Miss Rai Prakash. Were you waiting for a long time?" Swayam replied.
"No, I just left." Sharon said.
"Good now let's go." Swayam simple replied.
"What's the rush Shekhawat? You just got here and you didn't even remove your helmet. I want to see that beautiful face of yours." Sharon said as she pouted.
Swayam chuckled and removed his helmet.
"There, you happy now?" Swayam said still chuckling.
"Yes I am but you look tired." Sharon said as she ruffled his hair.
"Yeah. Those people really are stubborn pieces of poo-poo." Swayam replied.
"Did you just call them pieces of poo-poo?" Sharon said as she chuckled.
"Yes I did. That's the first thing that came in my mind." Swayam said defending himself.
"Really? The first insult that comes to mind is piece of poo-poo?" Sharon said as her laughter grew louder.
"Maybe it's because I've been spending too much time with my 3yr old nephew." Swayam said.
"That's sweet, but still. Poo-poo." Sharon said and laughed again.
"Ha ha very funny, now can we leave." Swayam said annoyed.
"Okay. I'm sorry; I was just trying to lighten to the mood." Sharon said.
"You did. Thank you." Swayam said and kissed her on her cheek.
"Now hop on." He said to a now blushing Sharon.
"How was your first day at work?" Swayam asked.
"It was good. We only did the planning and scheduling of the show. Also I've been warned that the parents of the children can be a tough bunch." Sharon said taking the helmet held out by Swayam.
"Don't worry; you'll charm them with your words." Swayam assured her.
"Well well, does Mr. Swayam Shekhawat find me charming?" Sharon replied.
"Yes he does. Now can we please go? I'm really tired and think I need caffeine." Swayam said.
"My poor boyfriend. Don't worry I'll make you some. Let's go." Sharon said.
They rode again in silence but this time their minds weren't filled with thoughts like they were in the morning. They both still remembered the talk they were supposed to have in the morning but each knew that bringing out the topic immediately would do no good. When they reached Sharon's place she made him the promised cup of coffee. Swayam warped one arm around Sharon as he sipped his coffee. Sharon simply snuggled into his chest holding her mug of coffee with a small blush on her face. Somehow he never would stop making her blush.
Late update🤢
