After a week and half

"Not fair Yaar ..I mean, you can't ditch us on our big day...Cmon Ajay , you could have stayed back for few more days .." Sanskaar expressed his disappointment. It was on next day after dinner night, Ajay left to Mumbai .Swara, Sanskaar, and Laksh accompanied him to the airport. It was an emotional moment for Swara parting with him. Ajay had been her support system in all tough times and her best friend too.She would miss him.

"Hey shona! Common yaar ab tu aise rotlu shakal banayegi. I will not be able to go ..Smile please." A teary-eyed Swara hugged him.Sanskaar and Laksh stood watching them

It was true they didn't have a great start, no instant bonding ..but they can't thank him enough for sorting out their love lives especially, Sanskaar . After a mention from Laksh how it was all planned by Ajay to push them towards confession , he felt a newfound admiration towards him.

"Thanks Ajay ..Laksh told me. You have no clue how much grateful I am .It's only because of you , I and Swara have sorted out our differences. I promise I will take good care of your friend and will not give you a chance to complain." Sanskaar told him.

"I have no doubts about it Sanskaar.."Ajay replied confidently. A brief pause followed,"You know what! He started off hesitantly, " I came here very apprehensively, not sure about you for Shona,but now I know she is in right hands and no one can love her as you do. I am glad you are the 'one' for her." He smiled .They shared a brotherly hug and then when it was Laksh's turn,he muttered a silent thank you.

And they bid him bye.

----------------------

It was after muhurat fixed, Swara placed a call to him and was totally disappointed as Ajay was leaving on very day, back to states and she knew if he could stay back, he could have. They had no clue muhurat would be within just 20 days ..and it was nearly impossible for Ajay to stay back and no way he would be able to make a trip again to India in such a short span. When Swara told Sanskaar the same..He took up the responsibility to convince Ajay.

" Yaar..You know I could have but I can't. And I have my project submission too. Pehle pata hota tho I could have managed but this sudden..Shona already took my class yesterday.Now you don't start off please ..waise bhi mom dad aa rahe hain na" Ajay adjusted his laptop for a better view of Sanskaar.

"Ok Fine.." Sanskaar gave up, "We will Miss you here ,especially Swara.."

"I know "Ajay nodded. "Shaadi ke baad come over here for a short trip." He threw in a suggestion

"Are U mad?" Sanskaar gave a horrified expression,"Ab honeymoon par bhi tumko lekar thodina ghumunga main? I am gonna kidnap shona and take her away ..sab se dur shaadi ke baad .Haan but we will drop in for some time for sure."

"Still a jealous soul ,haan . Grow up Sanskaar,"Ajay laughed, " so how are preps going on?"

" Yeah ,when your girlfriends jaan jigri best friend woh bhi ladka , lands in your life ,you will know.. Then we'll talk bro. "Sanskaar replied in equally good spirits. "We are done with exams .Its Sangeet a day after, phir 3 din baad mehndi hai, then haldi I am not sure about order of these ,next day shaadi ,phir reception ..and all that. You know there's hardly any time left so ..there are in full swing."

"Great ! I am so happy for you both. Btw, Shona looked so excited when she called me yesterday.Usne kaha ki your family has accepted her... and .."Ajay abruptly paused and noted Sanskaar's smile faded away at the mention. "Sanskaar .. What is it?' He asked

Sanskaar stayed silent first, but he needs to share this with someone. He had been struggling all these days,but sharing it with Ajay might lighten his burden a bit

"Ajay "He started slowly .. Ajay listened to him. Once Sanskaar finished Silence ruled for long between them

"Shona have no clue about this right!" Ajay asked slowly gauging Sanskaar's expression. Sanskaar nodded. "You don't intend to tell her ?" He posed a question again, only it didn't sound like a question to Sanskaar ,but more like a statement.

" I don't know Ajay ..It's just a matter of few days and I don't want to .." He paused and gave a long weary sigh and looked at his screen " I hope you understand.You know her well, Don't you?"

Ajay nodded in understanding." You don't want Shona to get hurt, Right!"

"It's more than that, Ajay. Once we get married I can manage it all. I just don't want complications. I gave in to her demand to disclose this to the family ..but I am doing what I feel is right for us ..at this point.I just hope it all goes well."

Ajay could see the amount of tension on Sanskaar's face and he somewhere understands where his decision came from. There's no denying he had a valid point too." Don't worry ..Sab theek hoga.Like you said its matter of few days, it will get sorted soon." Ajay assured.

Relief washed over Sanskaar, " Thanks Ajay."

"Sanskaar.. "Sujata's voice came in . "Ok Then ..I will call you later, Maa bula rahi hain," Bidding bye to Ajay ,Sanskaar closed his laptop feeling much better. He opened his mobile,was greeted with the sight of a smiling Swara.His fingers delicately traced the wallpaper."I am sorry, Swara.Main jo kuch bhi kar raha hoon, hamare liye kar raha hoon.I am sure you will understand."

------------------------------------------------------

Midst Wedding Preparations Swara and Sanskaar hardly got a chance to meet. Late night long calls and messages kept them going.

A night before Sangeet.

Swara lovingly gazed at lehenga before her which peeked out from Gift Pack. It was such a beauty and like before It was Sanskaar's choice. He always manages to surprise her. She looked at photograph next to her .'Their photograph'.her favorite one from recent times. Its from one of the moments during the dance on the night of confession.It was a side profile pic, a smiling one. Closely held his arms Her cheeks tinted with lovely blush, her lashes lowered, a smile bloomed across her lips under the soft loving gaze of Sanskaar.He had this little playful grin on his lips which always floored her. It was such a happy picture

It must be probably at the end of dance when Sanskaar whispered something in her ear, which had her blushing.One of them from the trio of Laksh, Ragini and Ajay managed to capture this moment. She caught glimpse of it during a teasing session how they were so lost in each other and she instantly fell in love with the snap so much that , she got it framed.

A ring on her mobile distracted her from musings and she knew it's him.

"Yes .Mr.Maheswari?"

"Miss Bose. Do you have any clue how much I am missing you?What it is taking from me to not to sneak into baadi at this moment. I swear Shaadi ke baad ek minute bhi tumhe dur nahi jaane dunga..samjhi."

."Dur jaana hi chahta kaun hain?" Swara replied which had Sanskaar smiling.

" Hey , Did you get the gift, hows it? Tumhe acha laga? He bombarded her with questions one after another next instant.

"Haan,Haan ..Mil Gaya mujhe and it's very pretty. I loved it .."She said her hands tracing the smooth fabric of the lehenga," Lekin Sanskaar , it's a bit off shoulder, isn't it ? I mean what if mom doesnt ..

"Oh God!Swara. If you give my mom a chance she will weigh you down with some 30 kg lehenga and tomorrow it's sangeet.We are supposed to dance. I thought you should wear something light ..aur dupatta haina.Let your hair loose. That's it."

"Ji Aur kuch .."Swara smiled at his suggestions.He would have the solution for everything.

"Haan,Tell Ragini not put much blush on your cheeks, waise bhi you will be blushing all night looking at me and of course when we would romance ..so," he told her teasingly

Swara raised her eyebrows. "Acha! Romance..sab ke saamne?Sanskaar ..."Swara shook her head," tum na pagal ho gaye ho."

Sanskaar fell back on the bed with a dreamy sigh," Kya karu Madam, ,Aapke pyar ne mujhe paagal banadiya hain. Btw There's a reason I got you this lehnga ..I have a surprise for you tomorrow night."

"Ek aur gift?" Swara couldn't hide the excitement in her voice.He had been pampering her a lot these days and she's loving every bit of it. When she remarked how this would spoil her, his reply still brings a smile on her face. "Tumhe nahi karunga ,aur kisse karunga?"

"Yes...I am sure you will love it ..aur kal dance hoga aur romance bhi.So Be Ready." He waited when nothing came in. Hey Swara, Kya hua? Tum chup kyu ho?'

"I didn't get any gift for you ..I mean I didn't know..I "Swara felt a twinge of guilt. he had been showering her with gifts and like an idiot, she didn't get him any, Lekin Kal..

"Good you didn't ! Now I can ask for what I want"

Swara felt relieved.She always had this confusion of what to gift him.She got him a shirt, then a watch, all typical routine stuff.Now she can gift him something of his choice."Bolo .." She said and waited for his answer.

"I need something very sweet as sweet as honey something which I always love ..And "

Kiss ..Is what he is talking about. Warmth rushed to her cheeks.Swara felt thankful he was not before her.If not he could have teased her to death about his theory of blush coming true ..She's already blushing and she wondered how easily he made her heart flutter have her blushing with a smile or a word.He doesn't even have to try hard.

"Main sabke samne tumhe kiss nahi kar sakti.." Swara said all shy drawing patterns on bed.

"When did I say Kiss,Miss Bose?" Sanskaar tried not to smile .It would spoil the fun of teasing her.

"You are not ?" Then what is he talking about Swara wondered.

"Offo Swara..Tumhare dimaag hamesha ek hi direction main chalta haina ..saara waqt romance ki baare main hi sochti rehti ho." Sanskaar started off his teasing session

Swara pouted "Aisa Kuch nahi hain Ok ..Woh main ..Woh" she mumbled.

"Jhooti .. Waise Miss Bose," Sanskaar cleared his throat "If you are missing my kisses so much,You can tell me ..Abhi baadi aajavunga." He teased her further

"Really!" Swara's tone challenged him "Itni easy nahi hai Mr.Maheshwari.If you get caught..Ache maar padegi tumhe."

"Is that a dare, Miss Bose ?" Sanskaar got up from the bed charged all of sudden.He always loved their little games.

"May be yes"..Swara replied.

"Accepted"Sanskaar replied confidently and reached for his bike keys.

"We will see" Swara disconnected call smiling.

__________________________

Swara peeked out from the door scanning surroundings of Baadi. From her experience all these days she knew All the residents of baadi retired early to sleep.By 10.30 pm , It's deserted usually. Her eyes moved to Gadodia residence. Lights off, Matlab sab so gaye ..Dadi bhi.

Thank god! Swara sighed with relief.

She knew Sanskaar very well. He will be here any minute. But What if someone turns late?Maybe ,she should have told him about backdoor in baadi and also to her room ,a safe route compared to main entrance or Maybe she can step out of baadi for a while. Would that be safe? Kya karu?

Anyways ..Why am I thinking so much? It's his problem,He will sort it out.Mujhe kya? Bada tease kar raha tha mujhe , ab aane do usse. "Determinedly Swara closed the door of the hall and stepped back into her room .Two hands grabbed her from behind, She almost screamed but a hand covered her mouth

"Shhh .. Dheere se," Sanskaar's voice came in "Main hoon." Relieved Swara turned back as he removed his hand "Do u have intentions of waking up whole baadi at this time of night Miss Bose and get me thrashed ?"

Swara took a minute to settle herself. Standing before her was Sanskaar in a simple shirt and track pants. He is really here. Swara hugged him and felt his hands around her engulfing her in familiar warmth.

"You scared me , Mr.Maheshwari "Swara mumbled drawing back a little and smiled as Sanskaar muttered a sorry, holding his ear. " How did you manage to come here ?I mean.. " she asked curiously.

"Back door .. Sanskaar replied signaling at the door behind ,"Remember when I become electrician,I noticed there's backdoor to this room," His hands now linked around her waist,

" my memory is quite good, So I figured out."

" Very Smart! Her hands went around his neck," Now ..will you spill beans about the gift you want ,Mr.Maheshwari .I am very very curious." Sanskaar could see the curiosity reflected in her eyes. In a simple night suit a mickey printed tee and pyjama, Her hair knotted as a messy bun.'Cute' would be an apt word.Nope, Cutest would be the right one and he stood wondering how she managed to hold his breath in every look. She didn't even have to try a bit .

His gaze softened.It was a soft loving gaze but Swara felt warmth rushing to her cheeks . She closed her eyes with a sigh as he took her face in his hands."Swara.." She opened her eyes back as he took her name gently and stood captive lost in his warm gaze " Sách kahu! I was missing you very badly..Ye dare sirf ek bahana tha tumhe dekhne ke liye," His thumbs caressed her cheeks gently. Just a simple caress, he made her feel loved. She was missing him too, It was for her own selfish need , she didn't protest in spite of risk it posed.Daring him to come down at this time of night.

" I know you were missing me too."He told just like he read her thoughts. Swara nodded and smiled ,"Bolo na ..Kya chahiye tumhe?" She asked again her voice turning more softer

Silence ruled for a minute. She smiled listening to him and nodded.

-----------------------

It was after long Sanskaar left Swara still found herself lost in his thoughts. "I want you to sing for me tomorrow. I feel it's been like ages I have listened you sing ,Swara.I guess now you have answer too.. Ki main tumhara kaun hoon."

He was right! It's really been a long time she sang. Last time it was in JAM session-' for him ' It was the time they were trying to figure out dynamics of their relation.Now they are so much in love and getting married in just few days .How fast the things have changed.

He remembered the song and lines too.

Kaun mera, mera kya tu laage

Kyun tu baandhe maan se man ke dhaage

Bas chale na kyu na mere tere aage

"Tumhe abhi yaad hain?" She asked him a bit surprised as he recited few.

"Tumse judi huyi koi bhi cheez mein kabhi bhool nahi sakta,Swara. " He replied and like always managed to strike right chord of her heart. It was best gift she could give him..pour her heart out to him.. A song, may be a two.

When it was time for him to leave, she didn't want him to."I don't want to go either, but I have to right!" As the days of their wedding are coming closer, staying away from each other was becoming tough with each passing day ,they both agreed. "

" Bas char din aur Swara..aur phir.."

"Hum saath rahenge ..hamesha, hamesha ke liye " she completed smiling and hugged him back. After a minute Swara cleared her throat, "Mr.Maheshwari, Aren't you missing out on something?" she asked looking up at him. He was supposed to kiss her.

"Oh!Really! Kya Hain? " Sanskaar made his most innocent face.

"Sách main bhool gaye?"Swara asked hiding her grin. Now he is back to his teasing, flirty mode.That's one of her favorite shades of him.

"Tum yaad kyu nahi dilati?' He returned her smile with naughty grin. A smile tugged at corner of her lips.Swara rose on her toes and kissed him lightly on cheek. Her fingers brushed his cheek enjoying the rasp of his one day stubble.The feel of her soft lips and delicate fingers it was exquisite. It reminded him of their first meet in canteen when she had put up the act ..how he felt rush of sensations then at her touch then and now ..it was no less. Kuch yaad aaya She whispered softly.

"Haan thoda sa.. I think I am getting there..Lekin.."

Smiling wide Swara quickly pressed few kisses down his cheek, ab ?" She asked.Sanskaar shook his head " bas thoda aur you know! .." Swara shook her head " Liar , Swara hit him on shoulder playfully "Tumhe yaad nahi aane waala, I know that ..Jao ab .Bahut ho gaya natak" Swara stepped back with mock glare..but Sanskaar quickly grabbed her back.Swara struggled to free herself and gave up finally.

"Sorry .." He told in low tone. Swara looked at him , "Yaad aa gaya mujhe ..just abhi.I can prove it."Before Swara could say a word ,his lowered his face a little..his lips closing on hers.

Rest everything  tossed out of her mind.It was just him and the kiss which was gentle teasing ,and warm suffused with tenderness that left her craving for more...He nudged her lips softly as if they were delicate petals.All sweet..as sweet as honey.She arched on to him moulding perfectly to his body.Somewhere in her mind deep down she wondered how perfectly they fit into each other..like made for each other. He cradled her face softly in his hands..and the kiss turned more gentle but it felt like a sweet burn which still lingered even after he left .

Swara turned on her bed smiling ..her eyes on their photograph. Everything seemed perfect but it was a moment before he left

"Swara ..Just remember , main jo kuch karunga hamare liye hi karunga .Just trust me!"

"I always do ,"She replied. He kissed her forehead in answer "I love you "he murmured and she watched him leave . he turned back and waved her bye before he was out of her sight.She waved back smiling but his words left her puzzled.

What is it ? He looked troubled at that moment. It left her scared for a minute. Swara brushed away her thoughts . She's thinking too much probably. " Bas aise hi keh diya hoga Sanskaar ne..aur kuch nahi ." she told herself.

But little did she know...
