"No.no this can't be true...t-this can't be t-true"
She could hold the heartbreak no longer and she fell to the floor in a disheveled heap as a great sob escaped her, and she covered her face with shaking hands.

"..Mam?" She heard someone's voice

" ....ara Mam?" Why this voice seems familiar.

" Swara mam!!" She jolt up and turned her head towards the person who was continuously trying to get  her attention.

It was Lisa.

But when did she came inside the room?

Did she heard our conversation?

"Swara Mam are you okay?" Lisa asked again.

Swara nodded her head and quickly tried to wipe her tears as she don't want Lisa to know how stupid and insecure she was to destroy her relationship.

But something caught her attention, instead of room she was still sitting on the dining table and there weren't any tears on her face, not even a single drop.

"I'm glad you okay mam, you were zoned out for like ten minutes"

Her mind was trying to process all the  information when a famine laughter cut her off.

Swara raised her head only to find Sanskar and Ragini still sitting on the couch almost crushing each other.

And once again the familiar feeling build up inside her.

Lisa noticed it and  chuckled
"They are very good friend and there is nothing more than friendship. So you don't have to worry mam"

Swara immediately moved her gaze from them, she was totally embarrassed "N-no who said I'm worried, I-I'm not jealous."

What if she thinks I'm  a selfish or some freaking possessive..

Lisa softly  put her hand on Swara's shoulder and smile " I know mam, you are not jealous but you are just scared that someone else will love him more than you.."

Swara  immediately looked at the lady standing beside her with a soothing smile,this the first someone understand her after her mother.

Since  day one Swara was getting motherly vibes from Lisa. She gave a genuine smile to Lisa "thanks for understanding me"  her eyes started to welled up, she bit her lips to hold back  her tears.

She isn't selfish, Sanskar is the only one in his life and she don't wants to lose him.

Lisa cares her head "don't hold  back  your emotions  dear, just let them flow" and Swara broke down into Lisa's arms. Lisa drew circles on her back to calm her down.

Aftersometime Swara calm down
" Thank you " she whispered while wiping away her tears.

" No need to thank me Mam,you're like my daughter" Lisa smiled.

" you said I'm like your daughter right? Then why you calling me Mam?" Swara said with a pout.

"Um...actually...." Lisa started only to be cut off by Swara " please call me Swara"

Lisa nodded her head and went back to kitchen not before placing a kiss on Swara's forehead.

Swara was sitting beside Ragini while Sanskar was busy on a call.

"I'm so happy for you guys" Ragini started smiling brightly.

"Thanks" Swara blushed.

" I still can't believe an idiot like him got a beautiful girlfriend like you" Ragini shook her head and Swara blushed harder.

Ragini smiled and took Swara's hands into hers, Swara looked at her in confusion " you know when first time I met Sanskar, we were kid back then. Sanskar was always introvert he never used to share his problems untill I used to force him. He had gone through a lot Swara. When I shifted few years back I was really worried for him but now I'm happy that he had someone for him. He really loves  you, I could  see  in his eyes. I wanna thank you for coming into my stupid friend's life. But promise me that you will always take care of him and will never stop loving him."

"I love Sanskar more than anything Ragini and I can't even think of hurting him."

Ragini  hugged Swara

"Let's go Swara " Sanskar said as he entered the room.

" can't you stay" Ragini pouted using her puppy eyes to convince Sanskar.

" Stop whining like a kid Gini! I have company to run, there are lots of employee works under me, I can't just take a  day off  for no reason" Sanskar tried to make her understand.

" But I want to spend time with you" Ragini was sulking.

Sanskar tried to protest when Swara cut him off

"I'll manage Sanskar, you don't need to go office today " she said with a smile. After talking with Ragini she came to know that Ragini is really nice  person and for her Sanskar is nothing more than a friend.

She hang up the call and got inside the elevator, she was a bit nervous, this was the first time she was attending a meeting without Sanskar. She stepped out of the elevator when it reached  the required floor. 

She made her way towards the office and was about to grab the handle  but instead someone opened it for her.

Swara  looked up to see a handsome stranger smiling at her, " I have  hands" she said and tried to walk past him  but he  stopped her.

"Rude but hot"  he said and Swara glared at the grinning stranger.

" I am hot I know, and if thanks is all you want to hear then..." she took a deep breath and sigh.

" Thank you"she said and walked away like a queen.

"The name is LAKSH" He said smiling like an idiot.

Swara rolled her eyes ignoring his voice.

What does he think he is! I have hands!

Swara slammed  the door in his face..
