Chapter 1

"Not this one bhaiya, show something unique. These are all repeated dresses."
Sharon was irritated on the shopkeeper. She had to attend her cousin's wedding in 2 weeks n she was shopping for something unique.
"Mam this is the best dress we have n it will suit u very much." Shopkeeper said showing a red dress to her.
Red was the color that Sharon was fascinated by. She picked the dress n walked to the mirror adjusting it in front.
"Beautiful" She heard a melodious voice ringing in her ears. Sharon turned around confused only to see a guy checking her out. She glared at him angrily.
"This dress will glorify your beauty you can try it if you don't believe my words. Sharon felt her cheeks going red maybe coz of anger or blush.
But she didn't want to make decisions on any stranger even if he was saying correct.
Sharon kept the dress on counter. "This is not of my type. You guys don't have any unique type." With saying this she walked out of the store. Irritation could be seen fully on her face.
The stranger smirked very well knowing that she wanted to buy the dress.
"Pack this dress." He made the payment n walked out.
On the other hand,
"Did you buy something for you?" Sharon's friend asked her.
"Not yet" Sharon replied with frustrating voice.
"What! But why?" Her friend was shocked. "That store was one of the best n u didn't get anything which suits you?"
"Not really the dress I chose was sold out before I could purchase it." Sharon lied.
"Okay then let's see some other stores"
They both walked. While walking Sharon bumped into someone n they fall on the ground. Sharon closed her eyes tightly but she didn't touch the ground rather she fell on someone.
Swayam was searching for his dream girl which took his control over heart. But next moment he was on the floor. Once he saw the person who fallen on him he froze. First she mesmerized him in the store n now so close to him. He wished the time to stop. Involuntarily his one hand wrapped around her waist.

Sharon opened her eyes to meet someone's continuous gaze. He was staring her n her cheeks were getting red by each passing moment.
"Sharonnn" She heard her friend shouting. She came out of the trance. He was the same guy whom she met earlier.
Sharon tried to get up but he didn't let her. She pushed him n got up.
"Are you alright Sharon?" Her friend enquired.
"Sharon, what a beautiful name." Swayam interrupted.
Sharon's anger rose to a new level. "I'll call police if you don't behave properly"
"Beautiful voice" Swayam replied dreaming.
A blush crept on her face but she maintained her angry look.
"Sharon come, ignore him." Her friend said.
Sharon gave a angry look to him but he smiled at her.
Swayam watched her going. "She looks more beautiful when she is angry."
He received a pat on his back.
"Swayam what are you doing here? We have been searching for you. Come let's go to disc." One of his friend said.
"Sure, why not?"
Swayam entered the disc n wore the mask as per the theme. Wishing to see Sharon also there. All his thoughts were preoccupied by her. It was like that god was also with him coz Sharon entered then only.
Sharon had no option other than to listen to her friends which were continuously teasing her. She wished to not to meet him again but there was a little hope in her heart as any guy hadn't this courage to talk to her n this guy was getting on her nerves n flirting with her. It was not like that she didn't like the way of talking but she will not let her guards down letting him know.
All were grooming with the music. Her friends had hit the dance floor. Sharon headed towards the drink counter.
Swayam was continuously looking for glimpse of Sharon. As soon as he spotted her he moved involuntarily towards her.
"Sharon" As she heard her name she turned n got shocked.
"Swayam Shekhawat" He introduced himself.
"Swayam, nice name" Sharon had 2-3 shots.
"Thanks" Swayam replied.
"So it's your habit of flirting with every girl? Or it's me only?"
"Truth or lie?"
"Truth"
"Hmmm truth. Most of the girls are flat on me with my single look. But you are different." Swayam said whatever was in heart.
"That is I am a different one" Sharon replied proudly.
"All the ladies n gentlemen join the dance floor." Announcer interrupted their convo.
May I have the chance to dance with beautiful angel." Swayam asked.
Sharon tried hard not to go red n gave her hand in his.
They both started dancing. Soon the track changed to slow one as there were mostly couples dancing.
Swayam twirled her n pulled her closer.
"He is a good dancer." Sharon thought.
They danced till they hadn't the ability to dance anymore.
Sharon was getting comfortable with him. He was not at all that type which Sharon had thought in the store.
As soon as they were out of disc Swayam took out his mask. Sharon clearly noticed his facial features. His soft hairs, small eyes conveying so much expressions at one time. Swayam stopped speaking as he noticed Sharon. He smirked n said "Am I so handsome?"
Sharon realized what she was doing. She blushed.
"It seems like its not only me who is being effected but her also." Swayam thought in mind.
"U look beautiful when u blush." Swayam complemented her.
Sharon blushed harder. "Can't u stop all these cheesy lines? I'm talking with u doesn't mean that I'm impressed by you."
"Oh really. I didn't know that. Thanks for telling. Then what were u doing recently? U can't even lie." Swayam said with a wide grin on his face.
Sharon didn't know what to answer so she excused. "I need to go."
"Can I drop u home?" Swayam asked for a positive reply.
Sharon was confused even if she is talking comfortably with him but she doesn't know him properly.
Sensing her thoughts, Swayam said "U can trust me."
They both walked towards his car. Sharon had messaged her friends about her going home. As they walked out slight breeze was flowing.
Swayam opened the gate of passenger door like a gentleman.
Sharon sits insides the car n Swayam started driving. She told the directions n soon they were at her house. Swayam wished this drive to never end.
"Sharon"
She stopped while getting out of the car.
"Can I get your number?"
Sharon was in dilemma but she exchanged number. She bid bye n went inside her house.
While backing the car he saw the packet of the dress. Instantly a smile formed on his lips remembering the store incident. An idea popped into his mind. He parked the car n ring the door bell of her house waiting impatiently.
Her mother opened the door n Sharon who was sitting behind stuffing food in her mouth chocked. She hadn't expected him.
Her mother looked at him confused.
"Woah Aunty, Sharon forgot her packet in my car" Swayam said showing the packet. Her mother turned to looked Sharon who was also confused about what he is talking.
"Come inside first."
Swayam entered n Sharon was throwing angry glares at him.
"I'll get u some water." Her mother went to kitchen.
"I didn't left any packet in your car. Why did you enter my house?" Sharon was fuming.
"Arre chill chill. I just came to return your packet." Swayam handed her the packet. Sharon opened it confused. When she took it out she was shocked. She looked up at Swayam.
"This dress was fitting you perfectly n u wanted to buy it but didn't buy it coz of me. That's why I bought it. I can't see a girl sad coz of me." Swayam explained.
"But I can't take this from u." Sharon refused. Swayam's face fell.
"Please Sharon don't refuse keep it as a token of our friendship." Swayam pleaded.
"Hmmm okay" Sharon kept the dress. "Now if you are done then go."
"Yeah I'm going. Can we meet tomorrow?" Swayam asked.
"Don't u think ur demands are increasing?" Sharon teased him.
"Will you?" Swayam asked once again.
"I'll come. I've to return ur gift also." Sharon replied while laughing.
"Drop me to gate at least. You're very bad in attending guests."
They walked towards door.
"Sharon" Swayam said while going out. "U look beautiful when u smile n laugh. Keep smiling always. Don't loose it ever."
Sharon blushed n close the door smiling to herself.
Next day
Sharon was sleeping peacefully on her bed hugging her teddy.
"Tring Tring"
She picked the call in sleeping mode.
"Good morning Sunshine" She opened her eyes wide listening to the voice.
"Swayam?"
"I love it when you take my name."
"Swayam stop ur flirting. Why u called up so early morning?" Sharon asked him.
"Check ur time first. I'm coming to pick u in 1 hr. Get ready soon."
Sharon stared at phone after disconnecting in confusion if she is doing correct in going out with a stranger whom she met recently. Keeping aside these thoughts she got ready as for her Swayam wasn't that type of guy who would take advantage of a girl in alone.
Ting Tong
Sharon instantly knew who is it. She opened the door.
Swayam was standing with a bouquet. "Beautiful flowers for the beautiful girl."
"Thanks"
"Where are we going Swayam?" Sharon was curious.
"Surprise princess. U'll get to know soon."
Sharon was shocked at the word Princess. Swayam understood n said "U r looking not less than a beautiful princess." She blushed at his compliment.
After driving for an hour Swayam stopped.
