"No". She picked it up and threw it aside angrily.
She picked up another one."Ew, this is soo old ". She
grimaced holding it up gingerly, as if it was a piece of trash.
She threw so more of them on the bed in frustration. She
couldn't find anything which she liked. Everything seemed so old and used to
her. She had worn most of them only once. Some, she had never worn! But, like
all women, she felt all of them were inadequate and too less.
Fed up, she lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling in
despair. Why? Why had she promised Swayam?? She couldn't even take it back now!
Plus, Sharon wasn't someone who ever took back her promise.
Her phone buzzed.
Rinni calling, it
screamed at her.
"Hello?"
"Hi Sharon! I was thinking ki since we will be bunking
college tom, we could go to the new mall at BKC. I've heard they have a huge
Vero Moda there and we '"
"Oh I'm so sorry Rinni but I forgot to tell you .I am going
to college tom."
"Whaat ? Sharon, have you forgotten tom is ' "
"Yes Rinni , I know it is Traditional Day tom in College but
I want to go tom.Waise bhi , its our last year in college so I am going. Plus,
whats the big deal, we wear traditional wear for weddings na?"
"I know you Sharon, something's happened what's up ? Don't
hide it from me "
"Well, actually Swayam...Uh...I...uh promised him that I
would come to College tom...With him...You know na we're gonna make it official
on the college..." Sharon blushed deeply.
"Oh'ok'this is for Swayam huh? Don't worry Sharon I
understand. I'll tell Simmi.See you at college tom..."
"Ok thanks Rinni. Bye."
"Bye.Love you."
She got up and began searching through her pile of salwaar
kameezs. Suddenly something pink caught her eye.
It was the suit she had worn to RDX Sir's wedding, when she
and Swayam'Sharon blushed remembering that time.She wondered if Swayam
remembered that time too.Their moment alone, their eyes locked, and her dupatta
on his face.
As if by coincidence, her phone rang.Swayam was calling.
"Hi"
"Hey you still haven't decided an outfit have you?"
"No...Not yet..."
"Isn't your doorbell ringing?"
"Yeah but Ramu Kaka will get that."
"Hmm but I think you should see who it is"
"What do you m- , wait hold on. "
Ramu Kaka was knocking on her door.She opened it and took
the parcel from his hands.
"I've got a parcel, hold on let me see what it is"
"Sure go ahead, call me back when you're done"
"No wait hello Sway-". He had cut the call.
</p>
<p>Sharon threw her phone on the bed and opened the white box
which had a pink ribbon tied around it. Inside it was a beautiful purple
anarkali. She picked it up carefully and stared at it. A note which had been
wrapped up in the dress fell out. It said,
To my lovely Sharon, thank
you for doing this for me. I love you.
Your Admirer Forever.
<i></i>
Sharon looked at the dress once again. It was extremely
beautiful but at the same time it was not very glamorous or glitzy.It was
perfect for traditional day in college. And it was perfect for her. She loved
it
She picked up the phone and speed dialed his number.
"Hell-"
"Thank you so much Swayam. I love you too"
"''"
"Hello?"
"Yeah yeah sorry it's just that I didn't know if you would
like it. I am so glad you do"
"Of course I love it! And I love you "
"I love you too. Have you tried it on yet?"
"No I was so excited I decided to call you up first!"
"Ha-ha ok then try it whenever you want to. And you don't have
to wear it if you don't like it."
"Oh shut up Swayam, I am wearing it tom! It's so pretty!! Ok
anyways I am going to try it on I'll see you in college tom."
"Ok bye love."
She kept the phone down and rushed to try on her new dress.
It was made of satin and had beautiful patterns at the bottom in pink and blue.
The neckline was dotted with diamonds. She loved how she looked in it.
Carefully, she folded it back into the box and kept it in
her cupboard. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
