A sea of whiskey
couldn't intoxicate me
as much as a drop of
YOU

Sanskar and Ragini both were walking through corridor. Ragini was laughing by seeing his annoyed face.

"Ragini, stop it yaar, how much you laugh?" Sanskar asked her irritatedly by seeing her laughing at him.

"Sanskar, I thought you were hero buy you became zero infront of her that you couldn't able to exchange one word with her. We did so much effort to take her with us but you made it useless" Ragini said after controlling her laugh.

"I thought you will help me to talk with her but you ignored me and kept busy with yourself" Sanskar said whike making faces.

"I thought you are businessman so you knew everything how to deal with everything but I didn't knew that you are such dumb head" Ragini said making Sanskar open his mouth by listening her praising words about him directly.

"Ragini, I am not dumb like your husband" Sanskar said while justifying himself.

"Oh hello, my husband is not dumb that's why he proposed me infront of all without a second thinking anything" Ragini said proudly while remembering her college days.

"Madam, don't forget that it's all because of me otherwise he wouldn't have done that still. If he didn't do then you would have married someone else" Sanskar said while defending himself.

"If he didn't then I would have done that but wouldn't have married someone else" Ragini said making Sanskar tongue tied. Sanskar looked at her with unbelievably.

"Ok now leave it and concentrate on our mission" Ragini said by seeing his irritating face.

"Sanskar what will you do now? Tomorrow she is going back to Bangalore" Ragini asked him while thinking deeply to find solution for how to stop them leaving.

Sanskar stopped in his track and looked at Ragini with sad face keeping his both hands in his pants pocket while thinking deeply.

"Don't know, How to make her stay here for some days. If I asked any girl here they would have ready to stay without further question but she is different from everyone. She can't stay back if we say to her and it's impossible to convince her without any proper reason" Sanskar said sadly making cute face.

Ragini smiled by seeing her love sick friend cum brother in law. Both were walking with thinking deeply to find solution. Suddenly Ragini shouts loudly in excitement like she got something very excited
Sanskar looked at his crazy friend

"I got an idea, how can we make two days trip and request to Mr. AG to stay behind" Ragini shared her idea.

"Good idea but how you will convince him?" Sanskar asked her again not getting any idea.

"Buddy, I don't know how you became a businessman?" Laksha came from behind while saying.

"Oyee, how you became doctor like the same way" Sanskar said while glaring at him.

"I am very smart unlike you who doesn't know how to convince person" Laksha said while making face ignoring his angry glare.

"Lucky you..."Sanskar was going to say further in irritation but stopped....

"Shut up both of you, keep quite...first think about how to convince Mr. AG" Ragini said irritatedly by seeing their banter

"I will convince Mr. AG." Sanskar said after thinking something...

"How?" Laksha asked him

"Top secrete, Just watch and see" Sanskar said leaving behind curious Laksha back

Sanskar knocked the door of Mr. AG and Arnav asked to come in.

Sanskar came inside and Mr.AG got surprised to see him alone. He looked back find others.

"I came alone" Sanskar said by observing him for looking others.

"Sanskar, you here? Do you want to ask something?" Arnav asked him with surprised eyes.

"Yes sir, but please don't mind if I ask you something" Sanskar said with bit nervous tone

"Ya sure Sanskar, you can ask me anything" Arnav said by giving assuring smile.

Both conversations was mute

Sanskar came out while smiling where Ragini and Laksha were waiting for him in lobby. Both saw him smiling so they guessed it by seeing his happy face.

"Good news, he agreed" Sanskar said with excitement. Laksha jumped on him while hugging and Sanskar startled with sudden hug but balanced himself.

"Congrats Bhai" Laksha said with smile.

"Lucky, if you get off me then I can talk" Sanskar said with choked voice as he was hugging him tightly.

"Ohh sorry" Laksha broke the hug while saying sorry.

"Ok, you plan what to do tomorrow" Ragini said and both went to their room. Sanskar also went to his room while dancing inside and planning for tomorrow.

Next day

Swara came to her boss room and knocked at door. Arnav opened the room door.

"Ohh..Swara come inside" Arnav asked her with smile.

"Good morning sir, how are you feeling now?" Swara asked him with smile while coming inside.

"I am perfectly alright" Arnav said with bright smile while moving towards sofa.

"That's good sir, I ordered breakfast for you. You have your breakfast. I booked return ticket and arranged everything for journey" Swara said while collecting laptop and medicines of Arnav.

Arnav took out the paper cover from the drawer and gave it to Swara.

"Swara one minute" Arnav called her. Swara stopped her work and turned towards Arnav.

"Yes sir" Swara said while looking at him.

"Take this"Arnav said while forwarding one cover.

"What is this sir?"Swara asked him while taking cover in her hand.

"You only see it" Arnav asked her while signing her to open herself and look into it.

"One week leave" Swara read herself and looked at Arnav with confused face.

"Sir leave but why are you giving me leave, I didn't ask" Swara said while giving him confused look

"Since you joined our company, you never asked even one day leave so I am giving 1 week leave to enjoy here itself and come to office on next week" Arnav said in his ordering tone.

"Sir, alone what should I do here?" Swara asked him still being confused not understanding his intention.
Suddenly Sanskar, Laksha, Ragini, Meera csme inside the room.

"We are here to accompany you" Ragini said while coming inside with bright smile.
Swara looked at all their happy faces but she didn't want to stay here one hour that too in his presence, no never! Swara turned towards her boss. All were looking at her with hopeful eyes that she should accept their proposal.

"Sir, it's not needed. I will come with you and mainly your health is not good so some one might be there for you to take care. I won't take any risk in your health otherwise mam will scold me as she told me take care of you before coming here" Swara said and trying to convince him.

"I am perfectly alright and Sooraj is with me take care so I am ordering you as fatherly figure not as a boss. You can enjoy with them and come to office later otherwise forget your job" Arnav said in serious threatening  tone. Swara got shocked by listening him

"Swara please accept it" Ragini said while making a puppy face. Everyone requested her. Swara looked at all and then Arnav who was looking at her for answer. All were looking at her for reply. Sanskar was praying to God in his mind to get reply as yes.

Swara was thinking what to do and was fidgeting her fingers in nervousness. In two days Swara came to know that Ragini and Meera are good friends. Ragini is more talkative, chirpy girl always makes others smile by her talk. Meera also became good friend for her and didn't want to hurt them by denying their offer. She didn't exchange much words with them but she liked their company except Sanskar's she still feels something whenever he is around but not uncomfortable. She looked at all faces once and then took deep breath.

"Ok, I am coming with you all" Swara said with light smile.
All cheered for her in happiness. In the evening flight Arnav left for Bangalore.

Swara was lying on her bed while thinking about happenings in her life. She brought out from her thoughts by mobile ringtone it was from her brother. She talked for sometime and hang up the call. She wished her brother would be with her now but nothing could be possible as she thinks. She felt alone here no family,  no friends. Now far away from office which could make her relax but now that also very far from her eyes. Thinking all this a lone tear escapes from her eyes. She wanted to cry as much as she wants but stopping herself. She just wanted one shoulder to listen her pain and support her but no one was here. She wiped her tears quickly and went to sleep. She woke up at morning hearing knock on her room door. She got up from the bed and went to open the door, there waa standing a fully dressed handsome hunk Sanskar with signature smile on his face. She lost herself seeing him who was looking Greek God to her at the early morning. She drown in those black orbs without knowing herself. Sanskar waved his hands infront of her to bring her back but she was bring lost in him didn't reply. Sanskar shook her little bit by holding her shoulder. She came into sense and looked at Sanskar who was giving her teasing smile. Swara felt embarrassed and bent her head down to avoid his gaze.

"Madam, where you lost?" Sanskar asked her normally after composing himself as he didn't want to make situation awkward.

"No whe.re...come inside" Swara said quickly and nervousness was all written on her face as she was fidgeting he fingers

"It's ok, get ready, we going out. I came tell you that only" Sanskar said with small smile

"Where we are going?" Swara asked him

"It's surprise, you will come to know soon" Sanskar said with bright smile.
Swara didn't ask further and just nodded her head in yes.

Within half an hour she got ready in white plain selwar with simple jewellery and little make up as lipstick and eye khajal and came downstairs where Sanskar was waiting for her in reception area. He was in his white shirt and blue jeans and brown coat and looking damm handsome in his casuals. Sanskar looked at her who was descending from the stairs by sending her presence and got awestruck to see her beauty who was dressed up in white colour plain selwar. She was looking like Goddess for him. Her hazelnut eyes, soft pink lips, smile on her face. She was making his heart flutter by beauty. He lost himself in her and stood while staring at her. Swara came near him and looked at him who was lost. Swara also got awestruck by seeing him as he was looking more handsome and unknowingly her heart started to beat fast with race. She felt her cheeks becoming red. She stood while staring at him. Both had a beautiful eyelock. She came into sense and slapped herself mentally by loosing her conscience by seeing him. She waved her hands infront of him. Sanskar came into sense and looked down while scratching his neck in embarrassment but smile was playing in his lips.

"Oh sorry" Sanskar said while lifting his head and smiled at her.

"Where is everyone?" Swara asked him for not seeing anyone with him

"Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you. Laksha and Ragini left early in the morning" Sanskar said and before he complete his word, heard huge gasp

"What? Swara said in shock and soon composed herself by seeing Sanskar's confused face.

"I mean why?" Swara asked him

"I was going to tell but you interrupted in middle" Sanskar said

"Ok sorry, say" Swara said

"Because of their son. He is not well and David and Meera got some urgent work so they left in the early morning. Just we are going" Sanskar said planting huge bomb on her. She looked at him with shocked expression with wide eyes.

Listening him Swara's heart started beating fast with the thinking of going alone with him. She trapped here alone with him that too with betrayer. Sweat formed on her forehead in the early morning by thought of going slone but she wiped it before he sees her. She clutched her dress in nervousness so that he couldn't notice her.

"Swara what happened? Why are you looking so pale? Are you alright?" Sanskar asked her with concern by looking her pale face.

"No..thing..  like... that...it's just.. I am ...ok where are we going?" Swara asked him while giving fake smile

"I said It is surprise" Sanskar said with smile making Swara afraid. She was already afraid of thinking of going alone with him, now he was not telling pace also.

"Swara, are you ok?" Sanskar again asked her by seeing her lost again.

"Yes...I am..ok" Swara replied while giving fake smile.

"If you ok then shall we go?" Sanskar asked her with raised eyebrow.

"Ya sure" Swara said while giving him fake smile. Both 

One side Swara wanted to run away from here but she was scared of something. Something was stopping her. She could easily denied going with him but couldn't able to utter one word. He was affecting her more without her knowledge. Journey was silent. Sanskar wanted to talk with her but she kept looking outside the window being lost. Sanskar stopped the car at infront of mall on highway.

Swara looked at him with questionable eyes by seeing mall.

"You stay in car, I will just come" Sanskar said and went out if the car before Swara could reply.

He went inside the mall and came after sometime with some food itimes and fruits. He kept all in back seat and again came front and sat behind the wheel. He started the car. Swara was observing all his activity silently. She didn't utter a one word. He started the car again and after one hour of silent journey they reached near forest area. Sanskar came out of from the car and came towards Swara's side and opened the car door for Swara. She looked at him questioningly. Sanskar understood her confusion.

"Come, you will come to know in some time" He said with little smile. She came out from the car.l and looked around and found that it was forest. Everything was surrounded by greenery with trees, small flowering plants. For sometime she felt scared and negative thoughts were started to run in her mind by seeing herself alone with him. She clutched her dress in fear. Sanskar opened the back seat and took out all the necessary things which he brought for them.

"Come" Sanskar said moving forward and he didn't notice her scared face.

Both started to walk inside the forest through narrow route. Swara was just following him with slow step in fear for each second that why he brought her in this lonely place. Dies he has any bad intention or something? So many negative thoughts were running in her mind at this time. Her heart was beating with fast pace and she felt he'll scared at this moment. She was stepping each step while looking around where she couldn't find one small animal also. She cursed herself for agreeing to come with him alone. She gained little courage and followed him. After 10 minutes both reached the their destination place.

"See we reached here" Sanskar said with bright smile by seeing it and moved aside to let Swara to see.
Swara looked up and found beautiful water fall in the midst if forest. A broad smile appeared on her lips. It's beautiful waterfall in the thick forest and surrounded by greenery, colourful flowers, butterflies, cheering of birds, melody singing of birds, sound of water flowing. Swara felt bliss by feeling it. It's making her forgot all the things and enjoy here only. She couldn't notice in fear while coming through forest but now she forgot about her fear by seeing this beautiful scene.

she was just standing there while enjoying nature. Sanskar made carpet to sit and looked at her to call. She was enjoying weather without worries and tension. It's cool breeze was hitting her face making her feel relax. She was standing there looking at falls. Sanskar was standing little far from her. She was looking devine in simple white Panjabi selwar, her hairs were flying in air making her more besutiful. Cool air with mixed water droplets was blowing making air with chillness and she closed her eyes extending her both hands to feel it. It's been so many years like this places she visited and now she felt greatful for Sanskar for bringing her here. She wraped her both hands around her shouler to prevent getting chill but pleasant smile was playing on her lips. Sanskar was standing being lost while staring at her with smile on his face.

"Hey stupid, what are you doing. Stop staring at her, she is not yet yours so stop it now" His mind warned him.

❤️"But now, she is not yet mine, in future she will be mine" His heart said proudly.

"In future, still not. Hold your running horse ok" His mind again said

❤️"I know, don't advice me" His heart said in warning tone

"Stop both of you" Sanskar said and looked at Swara who was enjoying the beauty of nature. It was soothing her somehow.

"Swara come, you might be hungry. without eating you want to fill your stomach by water only" Sanskar said and Swara turned towards him and made faces by listening him. Sanskar  smiled by seeing her making faces by listening him which was looking very  cute for him.

"Very funny, I am just watching, it's beautiful place, this greenery, flowers, birds everything is looking very beautiful" Swara said with twinkling eyes

"Not more than you" He whispered himself while looking at her.

"Did you say something?" Swara asked him with raised eyebrow by seeing him murmuring himself.

"No" Sanskar said while giving her tight smile

"By the way, how did you know this place?" Swara asked him because it's not the place where he lives or his home place.

"Whenever we came to Mumbai, we used to come here, it's one of my friend private area" Sanskar told her about his one of friend who owns this forest area.

"Ohhh....but it's very beautiful place" Swara said while giving small smile. Sanskar's heart skipped it's beat by seeing her smile which was making him hypnotise.

"Ok come, you must be hungry" Sanskar said and moved towards the mattress where he arranged everything.

"Ya.." Swara said and both moved towards it.

Both had lunch fully together because morning they didn't have anything. Swara went to wash plates after lunch. Sanskar asked her to leave it but she coukdbg listen. She washed the plates and sat on small rock near river bank and started to play with water by keeping plates aside. She was enjoying this moment very much. She saw one beautiful flower in water which was coming while flowing on water and she bent to take it and by mistakenly she slipped and fell into the river.

"Ahhh....." Swara screamed loudly...

To be continued.....
