Night

"we have night plans....are you coming?"

sanskar reads message from lakshah and types a reply and send it then dials swara'a number.

"where are you?..."sanskar asked,holding phone in one hand and steering wheel with other hand.

"i came for shopping......"swara said as she put a dress on herself and looks in mirror then makes face and put the dress back.

"when your shopping will complete?"sanskar asked in annoyed tone.

"hmm....it will take time,i am not able to decide which color,blue or red,its so confusing."swara said in confusing tone.

"red...."sanskar said and cuts the call.

"what?....hello!...sanskar!"swara said and looks at screen,makes face then keeps blue dress on herself and smiles.

*****************************

"i thought you were busy?..."lakshah said when sanskar sits to his adjacent chair.

"i think i should go back..."sanskar said and was going to stand when sahil keeps hand on his shoulder.

"sit down....where are you now a days,why don't you come when we make hang out plans?"sahil said while glaring at him.

"stop nagging like girl.....by the way where are girls?"sanskar said,trying to change topic.

"they went for shopping....will come directly from there"

"shopping?.....why women do shopping? can't they sit at home"sanskar said in very annoyed tone and picks up his drink.lakshah and sahil looks at him then shook their heads.

"take the names of devils and devils are here."sahil said while pointing toward stairs.they follows his gaze and saw kavita and ragini coming toward them.

"what the..."Sanskar coughed over his drink seeing swara coming out from behind themswara also looked at him and stopped in her steps.

"lucky you know what happened today?..."ragini quickly goes toward lucky,makes her puupu sit on chair and holds lucky's both hands.

"what?..."lucky asked and slides her hair strand off from her face.

"my tommy was lost in that giant mall..."ragini said with worried face.sahil and kavita rolls their eyes and lucky smiles at her.kavita goes and sits beside sahil and smiles at him.sanskar and swara was still looking at each other.

"then how did you find him?..."

"i made an annoucement and she found him and bring him to me...."ragini said and looks at swara.

"why are you still standing there...."ragini asked,making swara look at her.

"oh! i am sorry i forgot to introduce you....they all are my friends,lakshah,sahil and sanskar,guys she is swara,because of her my tommy came back to me otherwise i would have lost him today"ragini said and swara shakes hand with them.ragini again turns back to lakshah.Swara sits between kavita and sanakar.she shahes hand with sahil then sanskar.she tries to pull her hand back from sanskar's grip but he tights his grip. 

"you swara!...you should never spend weekend nights inside house."kavita said with friendly smile.swara pulls her hand from sanskar's grip and looks at kavita.

"you were going to spend sunday night at home in New York?"sahil looked at swara with weird look.

"um...actually i just settled in new york just now therefore i don't have friends with whom i can hang out."swara said nervously.

"oh! you are alone in new york..."ragini said,feeling sad for her.swara looks at sanskar for half minute then again looks back at her.

"don't worry babe as you helped my stupid,too emotional sister you can join us whenever you want."kavita said with smile.swara also smiles back.

"how dare you called me stupid..."ragini said angrily.

"i am not afraid of saying the truth."kavita said loudly.ragini was about to retort back at her when lakahah and sahil jumps between sisters and drags them to the dance floor which was downstairs.

"these two are really sisters?..."swara muttered to herself while seeing them dragging downward so that they shouldn't break each other heads.sanskar saw them climbing down the stairs and vanishing in the crowd and sighed.he holds swara'a hand and pulls her in his lap.

"your friends will see..."swara said with wide eyes and trying to get up.

"what are you doing here? i thought you were gone for shopping...hmm?"sanskar asked,pulling her close to him

"i was gone for shopping only...your friends dragged me here,is your friends always like this?"swara asked after stopping her struggle.

"like what?....emotional?"sanskar asked with smile.swara nodded vigorously.

"you know she was crying for the puppy...."swara said,making sanskar chuckle.

"she is sensitive and loves her dog a lot..."

"what if your friends return....leave me."swara said softly as trying to get out from his strong grip on her own was not possible.

"do you remember the deal between us..."sanskar asked while caressing her left cheek from back of his fingers.

"he shouldn't touch me like this?..."swara thought and softly removes his hand from her cheek but his hand was still hers.

"what deal?..."

"whenever i am in stress you will help me to calm down...so that i shouldn't smoke"sanskar said while leaning toward her face.

"yes but you don't seem stressed to me...."swara said giggling,keeps index finger on his forehead and push his face back gently.

"i am very stressed....trust me"sanskar said chuckling a little.swara shook her head.

"don't you think you are becoming rude day by day..."sanakar said with raised eye brow and again lean over

"because you are becoming more demanding day by day..."swara said,keeps hand on his cheek and make it turn to other side and laughed softly.sanskar sighed heavily and leans back on chair and removes her hand from her waist.swara bites her inner cheek  and looks at his face.

"don't make sulking face...."swara said,leans over and kiss him on lips with closed eyes.sanskar slides his one hand around her waist,pulling her more close and other hand at back of her neck and deepened their kiss.both pulls back from their kiss when it becomes hard for them to breath.

"i think we should go home..."sanskar said in husky tone while starring in her eyes.swara nodded slowly,her breath was still heavy.

*************************

MORNING

Sanskar was lying on bed,keeping head in palm of bent arm and was starring at swara.who was in deep sleep.sanskar bends forward and kissed on her head.swara opens her eyes little and looks at him.

"good morning..."sanskar said,seeing her opening her eyes.

"morning..."swara said in sleepy voice and again closed her eyes.she moved close to him and buried her face in his broad chest and put arm around his torso.

"swara wake up..."sanskar said and kissed on her bare shoulder.

"umm-mm...."swara buried her face more.sanskar chuckled,corrects blanket over her shoulder,keeps chin on her head and closes his eyes.

*****************************

"you called me?..."sanskar said after entering inside his father's office.Ram looks at him and sign him to sit,removes his stainless glasses,gets straight and keeps both hands on table.

"he is not in a good mood..."sanskar thought,went and sit on chair across the table.

"do you know kavita's father want to invest in our company...."

"good for us..."sanskar said in casual tone but he already knew,what he wanted to tell him.ram stares at him for a minute then puts back his glasses and opens file again.sanskar was thinking to get up but ram's voice stopped him.

"you are going to royal hotel very frequently.....anything special?"ram asked without looking at him.sanskar closed his eyes then looks at him.

"services at that hotel is very good...you should try going there sometime."sanskar said,trying hard to control his inner anger.

"its better if  reason is only good services...."ram said in meaningful tone.sanskar clutches  his fist angrily,taps his foot on marble floor for haft minute then gets up and walks toward door.

"its high time for you to get mature now...."

"if getting mature means you have to take every decision of your life in such way that it is favorable to business then i don't want to get mature"sanskar said opens door and walks out from there.

"when will he get serious about life..."ram said and again room his glasses.

Sanskar goes to his cabin and kicked the first thing which came in his path.he takes out cigarette from pocket of his pent and lights it and walks toward window.

"i should have been more careful...."sanskar said in frustrating tone and again smoked.at that time his phone beeped.he takes out mobile and unlocks it.swara had sent him a picture.sanskar taps his finger on it and pictures get display.

Sanskar looks at pictures and his eyes turned soft.next minute his phone beeped with a message.

"I AM TAKING MY COLLEAGUES FOR DINNER...SHOULD I GO LIKE THIS?"

"change your shoes...wear  sandals."sanskar send her message and again put back mobile in his coat then drops cigarette on the ground and kills it under his foot.

NIGHT

"sanskar where are we going?..."swara and yawned for hundredth times.

"have some patience..."sanskar glares at her and again looks forward.swara closed her eyes and rests her head on seat.she was quick to fall asleep as he had woke her up from deep sleep.

Sanskar stops car after 20 minutes and comes out from car and opens door of swara's side and shook her shoulder gently.

"come out..."sanskar said,swara yawns and comes out.sanskar starts walking and swara silently follows his trial.sanskar narrows his eyes,not seeing him beside him then looks back,holds her hand and pulls her beside him,puts arm around her waist and both starts walking together.swara looks at him and smiles.

"i know i am very handsome but please will you look at front...i bring you here to show that."sanskar said in teasing voice.swara gets embarrassed and quickly looks forward.It was two storey house with white walls and had black outline.walks forward and looks around.she was standing at white tiles path which was in mid of two lash green grasslands.

"you like it..."sanskar asked after arms around her chest from behind.

"its beautiful..who's house is this?"swara asked still looking at house.

"yours...."

"what?..."Swara asked after looking at him with jerk.sanskar just smiles at her reaction.

"he can't give me a HOUSE!...he is just kidding with me"swara thought while starring at him with held breath.

"you are kidding with me right?..."

"do you think i bring you at this hour....to pull prank on you"sanskar asked in calm as her reaction was already expected.

"no sanskar....i can't take house from you,its too much"swara said after removing his arm and turns to face him.

"are you saying this because you didn't like it then tell me...i have some more also,we can go there"

"no its not like that.....this house is beautiful."

"then...what is problem?"

"problem is i can't take more favors from you...you have already done a lot for me.don't do anything else..."swara said,feeling indebted to him more.

"don't think i am doing any favor on you...i am doing this because i can't keep you in hotel's apartment anymore."sanskar said after holding her both arms in soft grip.

"how to make you understand if you will stay in that apartment then i will not be able to come and meet you and i just don't to stop meeting you now...at least not now"sanskar thought worriedly.

"you need to understand sanskar...its a house"

"trust me swara i am doing this because of my own selfish motive....not for you"sanskar said with small smile to make her mood light but swara shook her head.

"you don't want it then we should leave."sanskar said getting serious all of sudden,leaves her hand and turns to leave.swara holds his arm and makes him turn back.

"don't get upset from me please..."

"if you don't want me to get upset then take this key or else just sit inside car silently.i will drop you at hotel"sanskar said in same tone and takes out key from his pent's pocket.swara bites her bottom lip and thinks for some time.

"its okay don't stress yourself and..."sanskar saiid,seeing her thinking too much but he stops when swara takes keys from his hand.

"thank you...."swara said while looking at him with her anger eyes.sanskar smiles and hugs her.

"i will return it when the time will come..."swara thought in mind and hugs him back.sanskar looks at his wrist watch.

"by the way happy new year..."sanskar said after seeing needle striking 12:00.swara quickly breaks hug and give him death glare.

"what?..."sanskar asked in confused tone.

"why you gave this to me this time,i have nothing to give you in return...you should have told me earlier,i would have brought something for you also"swara said feeling guilty.

"you have nothing to give in return?..."sanskar asked and swara shakes her head and looks down.

"really!...."sanskar said in deep tone,holds her from waist then cups her face and kissed her with full passion.swara  puts arm around his torso and returns kiss with same passion.
