The sunlight was at its peak yet two souls were lost in their own world. Sunrays were trying to peep into a room but the curtains were obstructing its path. It wanted to get a glimpse of the most pure soulmates who love each other unconditionally, have unfathomable trust on each other, whose love rises every moment. They didn't have time to fall in love because they were already "lost in love." Keeping aside the uninvited presence of the sun in their swaronolicious world a girl cuddles into her husband and he wraps his arms around her waist and hugs her tightly. The smile on their face indicated peace and contentment of being with each other. The girls sleep breaks and she removes his hand over her and gets up. She folds her hands in prayer and thanks god for another beautiful and pleasant day in her life with her husband. She concludes her prayer and ruffled her hand in his soft and silky hair. She walks towards the window and pushes aside the curtains. No sooner did the curtains move than the sunlight made its way into the room impatiently. It admired this beautiful girl and greeted her by kissing her face with its rays, but somebody didn't like the presence of this uninvited guest.
Voice: Sharon please can you shut the curtains; the sunlight is hurting my eyes.
The girl turns behind and pulls out the blanket which covered her husband's body whose features resemble that of a Greek god.
Sh: Swayam get up RIGHT NOW!!
She commanded him to get up immediately.
Sw: Sharon aaj toh Sunday hai, please aaj toh mujhe sone do
Sh: no Swayam you promised to help me clean the house this Sunday, you can't back out. Now please get up before I get angry.
Sw: Sharon im not even able to move my body, how do you expect me to get up?
Before Swayam could cover drown himself in the blanket to fall asleep Sharon extended her hand to pull him out of bed. She forgot that Swayam never left any chance to romance with her. Swayam smirked to himself. He extended his hand and before she could realize he pulled her over him with a force. She got lost into those deep chocolate brown eyes. He was lost in her beauty, he moved his hand over her face and removed the hair strands falling on her face and tucked it behind her ear. Sharon realized what was happening and hit him hard on his chest. She got up and Swayam caught her wrist. She gave him a deathly glare and before she could kill him with the look in her eyes Swayam got up and rushed to the washroom to freshen up.
Both of them were busy cleaning and suddenly an album fell on the ground with a "THUD". Sharon stopped her work and picked up the album. She settled herself on the floor and opened the album with a sweet smile. She found herself getting nostalgic about her college days when she saw some of her college pictures. Her college days were the best of her memories. They were still fresh in her mind. The next picture brought a slight blush on her face. Swayam was observing her and the minute he saw her blushing he took the album from her to know what made her blush. As soon as he saw the picture he flashed a huge smile.
Sw: tumhe yaad hai?
Sharon (who was lost in her own world): huh?
Sw: uss din ke baare mein tumhe abhi sab kuch yaad hai kya?
Sh: ofcourse yaad hai, the best Valentines Day in my life.
"Flashback"
It was Valentines Day. Sharon was out with her friends. Except kria all of them were single- neha, rinni, simmi, vishaka and Sharon. Rey- kria's boyfriend invited them for a valentine party. On kria's insistence they agreed to accompany her for the party. The party was on full swing. Kria was busy with rey. Rinni, simmi, neha and vishaka were busy checking out boys. Between all this our princess was getting bored. She had come to this party just for her sister. She wasn't the kind who was interested in boys and dating. She is waiting for her prince charming who will love her for who she is and not because of any of her external features. Sharon was sitting in some corner of the hall watching all the couples sway to the music. Suddenly a spot light fell on her.
Voice: hey there, the pretty lady in white now its your turn to move the dance floor but before that lets find a partner for you.
Before she could protest further the spot light shifted to a guy. All she could see was his smile which made her heart skip a beat. Unknowingly she was drooling over him
Voice: so you are the lucky boy haan? You have the pleasure to dance with that pretty lady in white.
The guys gaze shifted to her.
Voice: everybody on the dance floor, nobody is allowed to be without a partner tonight. So get going guys!!!
She didn't want to dance especially with a stranger. She saw him walking towards her and drops of sweat started forming on her forehead. She clutched her fingers tightly to her dress and was looking here and there to seek for some help.When she looked up she found her green orbs drowning in those chocolate brown eyes. He extended his hand for a dance
Guy: may I?
Sh: uhh'
Guy: hey don't worry it's just a matter of sometime, after that I won't bother you.
Sharon somehow was lost in him, unconciuosly she extended her hand and her dainty palm fit perfectly in his big one. She found herself being dragged to the dance floor. She felt him place her one hand on his shoulder while the other was held firm in his palm. He kept his hand on her waist which pulled her closer to him. They kept dancing and were not aware of their surroundings. The music had stopped but their heartbeats were the source of their rythym; the melodious sound of their heartbeats synchronized so perfectly and it sounded sweeter than honey. When they saw people leaving the stage the guy left her hand and made his way into the crowd. Her feet were stuck onto the stage; she was still under his effect; suddenly kria shook her by her shoulders and she came back to reality.
K: Sharon kya hua, kaha kho gayi?
Sh: kuch nai bas'
Tum batao rey ko chodke yaha kya kar rahi ho?
K: Sharon party khatam hogayi, sab chale gaye. Agar aapke marzi ho toh kya hum bhi ghar chal sakte hai?
Sh: haan chalo
That unknown guy kept haunting her mind for several days. His smile cast a magic on her; she was spell bound because of his smile.
"PRESENT"
Sw: uss din ka dance kaisa laga?
Sh (still lost in her dream world): heavenly-magical-just out of the world
Sw: vaise Sharon uss ladke ka kya naam bataya tumne?
Sh: pata nai, uss din ke baad main uss ladke se nai mili
Uss ladke ko toh apne aap ko introduce karna chahiye tha na, bas dance kiya aur bina bataye chala gaya and she pouts.
Sw: par agli mulakat mein naam pata chal gaya na
"Flashback"
The Rai Prakash Mansion was in a hustle-bustle. Inside a room a girl was getting ready; she was giving herself some last minute touches. She was dressed in a white and red chudidhar. She resembled god's angel who descended from heaven. She heard the door open.
Voice: Sharon beta tum taiyaar hogayi?
Sh: haan mom, don't worry
Sh.mom: bas bhagwan se yahi dua hai ki tera rishta pakka hojaye.
Kitni sundar lag rahi hai meri beti, kissi ki nazar na lage, saying so she embraced her in her motherly love.
Her mom saw her lost in her own world. She placed her hand on Sharon's cheek,
Sh.mom: darr lag raha hai?
Sharon nodded a yes
Sh.mom: pagli! Darne ki koi zaroorat nai hai
Shaadi iss duniya ki sabse khoobsurat cheez hai. Hum tere liye ek aisa jeevan saathi chunenge jo tumhare dil ki khoobsurati se pyaar karega; jo hamesha har pal tumhare saath rahega; jo tumhari zindagi khushiyon se bhar dega; jisse apni zimmedari pata ho; jo iss shaadi ke pavitra bhandhan ko hamesha saath jodega.
She touches her forehead to bless her. Both mother-daughter share an emotional moment. Just then kria enters the room
K: offo aap maa-beti baad mein baat karna, abhi ladke vale neeche hai, voh Sharon ka intezaar kar rahe hai
Kria side hugs her sister and says
K: don't worry, meri behen ko dekhte hi uss ladke ke hosh ud jayenge. Tu hai hi itni pyaari ki voh tujhe na bol hi nahi sakta.
Sh.mom: chale beta
Sharon nodded her head in approval and they move downstairs.
Sh.dad: lo aagayi meri beti
Everybody turns to look at her. Sharon lifts her eyes and was surprised by the sight in front of her. She found the same pair of chocolate brown eyes staring at her. She witnessed the same smile which gave her sleepless nights in the past few days. She was recovering the shock from this unexpected surprise when her dad called her and asked her to sit beside him. The elders were talking and two pairs of eyes were lost in each other.
Sh.dad: Sharon
Sh: huh' ya dad
Sh.dad: yeh hai Swayam pointing towards the guy
Aur voh hai Swayam ke mom-dad
Sh: namate aunty, Namaste uncle! And passed a smile to Swayam
Swayam Shekhawat- the guy who danced with her her on Valentines Day was loosing himself to the angel infront of him. That day when he saw her at the party he fell for her at the first instant. He was lost in the most adorable emotion called love. He left her on the dance floor because he couldn't control the roller coaster of emotions within his heart at that moment. He found out about her; he learnt about her life; he confronted his parents and they gave their approval. On further discussion it was known that Sharon's mother and Swayam's mother were close friends during their college days but later lost touch with each other. They put forth the marriage proposal infront of the Rai Prakash family and they accepted the proposal.
Here Swayam already knew that he was in love with Sharon. He knew that she was the girl with whom he wished to spend his enitire life. Sharon had no idea that she was going to meet Swayam regarding marriage; she wished to marry the guy her parents would choose for her. She was already attracted towards him; she still had to fall in love with him, somewhere she knew that in sometime she'll be unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. They were bought back to reality with the continuos discussions of their parents
Sw.dad: gautam hume toh ladki pasand hai
Sh.dad: hume bhi ladka pasand hai
Sh.mom: ab bacho se bhi puch lete hai
Sharon's mother looked at her: Sharon kya tumhe Swayam pasand hai?
Sharon looks down and blushes slightly while she was fidgeting with her dupatta.
K: arre mom aapko iske sharmane se samajh jaana chahiye ki isse Swayam pasand hi nahi balki bohot pasand hai. Agar aap chaho toh voh Swayam se shaadi karne ke liye abhi taiyaar ho jayegi. Kyu Sharon? Sahi kaha na maine.
Sharon gives a deathly glare to kria and blushes while everybody burst into laughter.
Sw.dad: sirf Sharon hi nahi beta Swayam ka bhi vahi haal hai
Sharon looks at Swayam and finds him staring at her and smiling like an idiot.
Sw.dad: toh yeh rishta pakka samjhe?
Sh.dad: bilkul, ab gale toh lag jao bhai aaj se hum sab ek hi parivaar ka hissa hai and they hug.
Kria went to Swayam
K: jiju aaj se meri pyaari, pagal but sweet behen aapki hui
Sw: thankyou saali sahiba
And they laugh.
Sharon and Swayam were beyond ecstatic; they wanted to talk but didn't get any single opportunity.
"PRESENT"
Sw: vaise jaan uss din mujhe dekh kar tumhare expressions dekhne layak the
Saying so he continues to laugh remembering about that day.
Sh: obviously I was taken aback on seeing you there. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki uss din ke baad hum phir kabhi milenge.
Sw: kaise nahi milte, sacha pyaar karne valo ko bhagwan bhi alag nahi kar sakte
Sh: Swayam tumhe mujhse pyaar kab hua
Swayam looked into her eyes
Sw: Girl I still remember the first time I saw you in your eyes I saw black shinning eyes now that view I fell in love with you like no one loved you like I loved never and even before.
Sharon was in awe of his words. Swayam could see her staring st him with all love and affection. He went close to her face and Sharon closed her eyes.
Sw: you looked BEAUTIFUL that day
And Sharon's cheeks turned from crimson to deep red.
Sh: You're the best Swayam. I couldn't ask God for anymore. Your little gestures make my day, your text from office saying "I love you", "I miss you" make me feel so special, when you call to make sure I had my lunch shows your affection and care, when I see myself in your eyes I realize that you are only mine, when you do things before I express my desire I tell myself that you know me more than myself. When you are not around my eyes search for you; I love it when I see your face when I open my eyes in the morning; I love it when you cribble about my bad habits; I love the way you look at me, when you call out my name I fall in love with my name. You don't leave any chance to romance with me, I may pretend that im uninterested but trust me when you're close to me I want time to stop; I want it to last forever. I love you my majnu. I love you lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots and like I never loved anyone before.
Swayam was smiling with tears in his eyes. He took her into a passionate hug. They fitted so perfectly in each others arms just like 2 pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. She heard him whisper in her ears
Sw: ab safai kare?
He broke the hug and they smiled to their hearts content. They resumed cleaning but in between they found many things that were reminiscent of their past, refreshed their memories, became nostalgic and emotional about many things. This ought to be the best Sunday in their life and wished for many more to come in the future.
