Blood was oozing out of his right palm but that didn't hurt him as much as the pain he was feeling deep within. Kaka came running to see the damage and immediately went out to get the first aid box. After insisting for too long Swayam agreed to take the medication. While kaka was bandaging his hand he noticed Swayam was lost. "Swayam baba bursts out only when there is a real big problem and I guess it's related to Sharon beta" He looked at Swayam's face and noticed pain, anger, frustration and the urge for the tears to trickle down which he was trying hard to stop. "Sharon beta came for you yesterday night." he started to notice if there was a change in his expressions but no he just nodded plainly. "She came here this morning also and was drenched. She didn't go home and stayed outside all night waiting for you". On hearing this Swayam looked up at kaka and recalled that Sharon dropped the cup of tea when he entered. "Gosh! She was out all night? Her health? I hope she's alright! I need to check on her right now!" he thought and got up immediately.
"How could he talk like this to me? Doesn't he trust me? Why can't he give me one chance to explain myself?" These were few of the multitude of questions raising in her mind. She was sobbing uncontrollably thinking of the turn of events in her life. She felt feverish but what was more irritating for her was Swayam misunderstanding her. She had not expected this phase in their beautiful blossoming relationship. She recollected how he proposed her, their first official hug, their adorable kisses, their secret meetings, the amazing cycle ride, the promises made to each other and the recent fiasco which shook the very foundation of their relationship. How could one misunderstanding break their mutual trust and love? How could the intervention of someone create a rift between the two? Was their relationship so weak? Didn't they face bigger problems than these? Didn't they fight against destiny and come together? But this time the situation went out of hand. Neither she nor Swayam behaved sensible. Maybe the situation was wrong and not the people. "Swayam was hurt. He received an unexpected blow from his best friend and he is not in his right frame of mind. Maybe I should've calmed down and make him understand the situation but.. " she sobbed holding her pillow very tight. "Why Sharon why?! Couldn't you control your anger for a while?" she shouted at herself and threw the blanket on the ground. She picked up the water jug beside her and threw it on the floor. She was angry with herself for behaving insensibly with Swayam.
She heard someone knock the door and she shouted "I do not need anything! Just leave me alone". "But you need me" she heard a familiar voice from the other side of the door. She got up from her bed and moved slowly towards the door. "Was it him?" she thought and moved closer to the door and touched the door with her palm to sense him. On the other side of the door stood a worried Swayam. The very thought of Sharon staying all night waiting for him without going home made him forget everything and he just ran to check if she was doing fine. He placed his hand on the door and said "Please let me talk to you. Open the door Sharon". The already red eyes of hers started dropping tears making her cheeks wet. She put her forehead on the door and started sobbing. "I'm sorry" she cried and continued "I will not be able to face you now! I'm feeling guilty for what I did today. Please go away" she said in a broken tone.
His eyes were watery on realizing how much he affected her with his words and actions. He shouldn't have done what he did today. His anger, his outburst was not to be shown entirely on her. He was upset with somebody and he used her like a punching bag. He took her for granted and spit venom with his hurtful words. He questioned her his place in her life when he very well knew what he meant for her. He could clearly sense how much she loved him. "Please Sharon. Just once. Please open the door" he pleaded but Sharon was adamant. "Please go.. ugh ugh.. " she coughed vigorously. Due to the recent stress her aasthma attacks' frequency has increased but she ignored it. She was coughing very bad and slowly fell down leaning on the door. "Sharon! Sharon!" called out a tensed Swayam.
He immediately ran out of the house and jumped through the window. He found her fragile body lean on the door. He ran towards her and lifted her in his arms. He gently placed her on the bed and sprinkled water on her face to make her conscious. She tried hard to open her eyes and started coughing vigorously. Swayam frantically searched for the inhaler in the room and found it in the drawer beside the bed. He immediately made her sit and held her with his one hand. He made her inhale with the other until she was breathing normally. He hugged her tight while tear drops trickled down his cheeks. She hugged him back and continued sobbing. "I'm sorry" they both said together and hugged each other even tighter. The fear of loosing each other made them tighten their grip. It was like the last time they were together and they didn't want this moment to end. Both wanted to stay like this forever. Safe, secure and happy in each other's company.
They broke the embrace and looked at each other. He cupped her face with his hands and wiped off the tears with his thumbs. "For every tear you wasted on me I promise I will shower you with double the love and happiness." he said and kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes to live the moment. "You are too precious to be called a waste Swayam. I love you and you love me and that is what matters the most to me. We can deal with any problem if we are together." She took his hand and placed both her hands on his. "I promise that however big the problem is I will think from your POV and understand from your perspective. I will never let you take any stress all by yourself. I will be there whenever you need me and even if you don't need me I will never leave your side"
"Ssshhh.. " he placed his finger on her lips. "I always needed you Sharon and I always will. I love you. I love you so much" he said and hugged her.
Both had a sense of satisfaction of being together once again just like olden times..

So this one is also based on the current track. I wished for something like this to happen in the show but the turn of events are against me and all my wishes are now in the drain. But there are no borders for imaginations right? So I've written out my take on the current track. You might find It short but right now I could do only this much. Apologies :)
As always comments, compliments, tomatoes and chappals all are welcome :)
