Chapter 7 :" Time & Distance"
Hi guys , I am back .Some of you are already starting to guess correctly which makes me happy , so here you go next update where you find the connection between swara and ragini .
One Month Later .
Time and Distance used to be her key for forgetting everything .But it been one month and yet she still misses him .When did she start to get herself invested she will never know but Swara long before admitted to herself she miss Sanskar .
She knew she was rash when she decided to quit her work the very next day .She expected Sanskar to say No or try to convince her to stay but instead he surprised her by accepting her resignation without an protest and he even refused her offer to continue to work till he finds an replacement .Even Aisha asked her not to quit but Sanskar didn't even say an word .So she quit and that was the end of her chapter with Sanskar or so she thought.Yet she feels betrayed by him . Another man who she thoughts cared about her let her down.
Now she was working in an coffee shop for past three weeks .And she missed working at Karma .She felt competent and comfortable working there and yet she ran away because she was worried about her feelings and she was still immersed in her thoughts , she didn't notice a new customer arrival.
When she looked up from the cash register it was to see the familiar face that haunted her over an month .She thought she was hallucinating when his voice broke her out of the shock, it was him in her work place.
A part of her felt happy he choose to come and see her after an month ,another part was angry with him for letting her go .She was still contemplating how to greet him when he ordered an cup of espresso and held out his credit card .He treated her as if she was an stranger that hurt .
She hid her pain and processed his order .He went and took a place in the corner seat .She kept glancing at him but he never once looked at her .Why does she give men the power to hurt her she wondered .But when he didn't leave after an hour ,she was curious .Was he waiting for an date . A pang of jealousy at that thought was shocking .
But the clause though they have broke most of it .He wouldn't break this one , she told herself and continued stealing glances at him
It been over two hours and he was still waiting for swara shift to end . She kept looking at him. He was aware of that ,he couldn't look at her and remain emotionless .He felt all kind of emotions after seeing her month later .
He had no grounds to be angry with her . But he was angry that she choose to quit working for him just because he cared about her welfare. His feelings were totally unwelcome he got the message loud and clear when she gave him the resignation letter.
So he let her go but she remained in his thoughts every single day and when he had an perfect logical reason to visit .He did ,He went to her house only to be informed by her mother she works here .
Her Mother wants to know why swara quit the job she loved and how can sanskar say his unwanted attention made her leave , so he remained silent ,he had an whole speech prepared out but when he saw her ,his mind drew to blank .
So he acted like an jerk and treated her like an stranger and he didn't know how to apologize for his behavior. He noticed the time only when she walked past him and went out of the shop . Her shift apparently got over , He raced after her intent on apologizing only for her turn back suddenly making him collide with her .
In an attempt to catch her from falling .He placed his hands on her waist and she froze . He was about to withdrew his hands and apologize but she leaned on him instead .
Swara called her self foolish for leaning on to him .But she was too tired being angry at the world and everything. She was too tired fighting with his indifference . So she welcomed it when instead of stepping back he drew her close and tightened the embrace .
" I am Sorry " he said the three words that somehow calmed her heart and she looked upto him to see him looking at her with such tenderness , she simply didn't care what he apologized for she was willing to forgive him .
After only few minute which seemed like an hour . Swara stepped back from the embrace and he let her free .
" We need to talk " he said after few moments of silent .She nodded while her mind was processing what he might have to say .
Sanskar drove them to an near by coffee shop. This time he brought her an cup of mocha .While she drank her cup , he waited for to finish before speaking up .
" Tell me ." She said as she placed the empty cup back on the table .
" I have a friend who works at the Airport , I have asked him to let me know if Sahil returned back from US" he started to say .
" So that why you are here to inform me , Okay thanks .Now can I go " she replied back apparently hurt.
" Yes , You can go .I won't torture you with my presence for long .." He replied back and left apparently he was a fool to think she must have not hated him too much after the embrace .
Swara was hurt by his cool dismissal , though she didn't let it show till she reached the safety of her room .And then under the darkness of the room she gave in to her tears .
Two days later .Swara marched into Karma in anger , She told Sanskar time and time again never to take decision on her behalf and to know he went and got an restraining order against sahil for her without consulting her made her furious.
Today the police came to check regarding the restraining order and asked her if she saw sahil anywhere since his return ..
She was about to march inside Sanskar office when an new face greeted her asking if she had a appointment to meet him .
" I don't have one , Tell him Swara is here ,he will see me .." She replied obviously not happy her replacement was already hired.
" He is already meeting with someone who said the same as you did and apparently my boss was not happy I let him in with out asking . I am not going to make him angry again " she replied back .
" Fine , let me know if Arjun will see me , tell him it is swara " she replied even then the new girl didn't budge .
Swara was already angry and to be denied access to the place where she was happy was getting on her last restraint .
Just then she heard the familiar voice of Aisha .She never felt more thankful to be recognized , Apparently Aisha work load increased after Swara left .So she was happy to see swara .
And when her replacement found she used to be the one who held her job before ,she didn't like it one bit .
And the reason soon become apparent as Aisha began comparing swara with her .And the girl seem to have had enough .
" I quit , It not my fault I don't have 170 IQ like her " the girl said and it took swara sometime to calm her down
That when she heard the voice that still haunts most of her dream and he was shouting ,Which made the girl cry more .
" He is going to fire me now , Look the guest I let in is shouting at him .." The girl cried somemore , While swara tried her best to find an place to hide before Shekhar Gadodia makes an appearance and she found the perfect safe place as she entered Arjun office without invite .
Arjun seemed happy to let swara hide in his office till Sanskar guest left. And more shouts were heard , Swara was well aware of his outburst ,he wouldn't talk. He would just shout .So when thirty minute later Sanskar entered Arjun cabin ,he didn't notice swara who was tucked in the couch error checking Arjun files .
" I was this close to dragging him out of my office , Fire the new hire .How could she let him in .I have been avoiding him ever since the engagement and he had the audacity to come to my office and lecture me . " Sanskar was busy talking that it took him few minute to find her .She was here and she came to see Arjun instead .
" Sorry it seems like you have a guest , I will come later .." Sanskar said and was about to walk outside .When Arjun spoke up .
" Come on , Both of you stop acting like idiots. She came to see you . She was waiting here till your guest leaves .Now both of you talk and I will leave .." With that parting shot Arjun left
" Why was he shouting at you " swara asked as she took in Sanskar tired face .
" It nothing , What did you want to say to me " Sanskar replied knowing she was hiding here because she didn't want to meet Ragini dad .
" It nothing .I leave " swara replied back apparently angry Sanskar was not sharing anything with her .
" He wants Laksh to stay in his house after marriage , Laksh apparently said No and he was here shouting at me to go back and live in Maheshwari house so laksh doesn't have to worry about leaving his mother , .." Sanskar said knowing she was angry that he refused to share when she asked .
" What did you say ?" She asked .
" I said it none of his business ." Sanskar replied
" He doesn't like to hear the answer No , couldn't you have said you will think about it .." Swara said and not realizing she was admitting she knew shekhar Gadodia.
" What did he do to you ?" Sanskar asked, That shut her up .She remained silent for awhile .
" I don't like it when you decide for me .We had an agreement , You can't take an decision on my behalf ." She choose the opportunity to divert the topic back to something safer .
" What did I do now " Sanskar said apparently frustrated at Swara and her rules ..
" You got restraining order against Sahil for me " she answered .
" Yes he ransacked your house and he terrorized you and he is back , If you think I will do nothing about it .You are wrong .." He answered back .
" You could have talked to me about it .I am serious Sanskar I don't like you taking decision without my consent " she said quite seriously.
" Okay when I was supposed to talk to you about it .You left the job you liked because you couldn't stand my presence . And do you think I like to impose my presence in your life knowing how much you despise it ." He said as he couldn't keep his emotions in check any longer .
" It not like that , I didn't quit because of you (at his skeptical expression she added),I don't lie remember .I quit because I didn't think i could stay emotionally unattached Sanskar and I am not ready yet to face it so I quit " Swara told him truthfully only know realizing how he might have took her actions
For the first time in a month Sanskar mood brightened and he smiled at the realization.
She quit because she was scared it meant she was affected by them just like him .He couldn't celebrate much longer as Arjun barged in with the news that their marriage news got out .
Arjun handed over the newspaper article to swara .Their was a picture of swara and Sanskar existing from the registry office and swara sindhoor and Mangalsutra was clear in the picture ,And just like that the news was out .
The head line mentioned Sanskar Maheshwari gets married to his colleague in secret .And Swara knew when people start to look into her .All her secrets will be revealed to the person she just claimed to have feeling for , Will he still smile at her after hearing what happened to her ex husband .Swara didn't know but she will find out soon enough because once Shekhar Gadodia finds out who Sanskar got married to he will make it his business to share everything he knew about his daughter in law .
