Admirer, Lover OR DIVAni!!!
(Name credit goes to Medha [medhasarkar] 🤗 Thanks for the help)
The D3 team was back to Dance.. Dosti was back.. Bas ab Dil ki deri thi.. Jo bahut jald poori hone wali thi.. Sharon was firm on her decision to get Swayam back.. Oh come on how can you just stop loving someone or get over someone due to a small fight? Love ain't that easy to forget.. She was so firm on her decision that she planned to get back Swayam in the Swayam esh-style.. Coming back to what she had planned.. Let's see what is the Lover-girl upto ;)
Sharon through her own sources found out that Swayam was heading to the Rehearsal hall.. She immediately ran up and placed a gift on the cubical right in front.. The gift was wrapped in a red hand-made paper with a note on top.. She herself ran out and stood at a distance from the rehearsal hall secretly looking inside..
Sharon waited.. Someone called her so she just turned around to talk when someone entered the rehearsal hall..
In the Rehearsal Hall...
Aashi: Chalo ab toh dance types karenge.. Sab maan types jo gaye.. (looking at the box) Yeh kya hai?
She picked up the gift and saw a note attached to it.. She took the note and read it..
Dearest Swayam,
You define Dance,
Kabhi Dance chodna mat..
As you are simply the best!
Yours and only yours
SecretAdmirer'
Aashi (shocked): Swayam ko kaun gift types de sakti hai?.. Sharon??.. Nahi, nahi woh toh Swayam se humesha fight types karti rehti hai.. Phir kaun types ho sakti hai? Kya karu Swayam ko batau ya nahi?! Waise bhi Swayam toh hamesha uss Sharon ke peech bhagte types rehte hai.. shayad the.. aur phir se ek aur types?? Kya karu??
Aashi was in a fix.. She didn't know what to do next.. either she gives this to Swayam aur doesn't.. She was lost in her thoughts when Rey entered the Rehearsal hall..
Rey: Hey Aashi tum kab aayi?
Aashi didn't respond as she was facing a tough time in taking a decision.. Rey saw this and just shook her..
Rey: Aashi!!!
Aashi: aaa.. haan.. haan Rey! Kya bol types rahe the?
Rey: Tum theek toh ho?
Aashi: Haan.. haan
Rey: Ok! So tumhari maa kaisi hai?
Aashi: Maa theek types hai.. Doctor ne discharge types bhi de diya..
Rey: Chalo accha hai..
On the other hand Sharon shifted her attention back to the Rehearsal hall.. As she was distracted by a student, she thought of checking if Swayam had gone to the RH in the mean time.. She slowly moved forward avoiding being caught..
She stood at the window of the RH and was peeping through the blinds.. She was shocked at what she saw.. Aashi had the gift in one hand and the note crushed between her palm and hid at the back.. Sharon was about to leave from there and give Aashi a piece of her mind when she saw Swayam entering the RH.. She abruptly stopped and waited to see what happened next..
Swayam: Hey Rey! Hey Aashi!
Rey: Hey dude! What's up?
Rey and Swayam shared a side hug.. Swayam saw the gift in Aashi's hand..
Swayam: Kya baat hai Aashi, aaj tumhara birthday hai kya?
Aashi: Nahi toh! Aap aisa types kyun puch rahe ho?
Swayam:Nahi woh tum woh gift leke khadi ho iss liye..
Aashi: Accha yeh.. yeh.. woh.. Mera types nahi hai..
Rey: Phir kiska hai?
Aashi: Woh.. woh.. haan.. (to Rey) Aap ke liye aaya types tha..
Rey: Mere liye! (taking the the gift) Accha!
Swayam (teasing): Kya baat hai Rey! Bade gift aa rahe hai tere liye..
Rey opened the gift and saw black colour dancing shoes in them.. He was confused as to who would gift him dancing shoes?
Swayam: Waoh! Nice shoes ya.. and that to Puma.. Not bad! Badi acchi taste hai gift dene wale ya wali ki..
Rey: Ya nice shoes ya.. But yeh mujhe kaun de sakta hai?
Just then Rey remembered his conversation with Sharon the previous evening..
*FLASHBACK*
Rey: Hey Sharon!
Sharon: Haan Rey, Jaldi bolo!
Rey: Aare tumhe kya hua?
Sharon: Kuch nahi I'm just out for some shopping..
Rey: Kya baat hai.. Sharon the Diva out for shopping .. Not bad!
Sharon: Rey Black or red & white?
Rey: Kya?
Sharon: Just answer!
Rey: Ummm Black!
Sharon: Ok! Listen main tumse baad main baat karti hoon.. Mujhe ek bahut important kaam khatam karna hai..
Rey: Ok.. Bye
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
Rey: Sharon?
Swayam: Kya Sharon?
Rey: Dude yeh gift Sharon ne laya hai!
Swayam: Sharon ne?!
Rey: Haan! Kya baat hai.. Meri best friend ne mere liye shopping ki!
Swayam: Nice!
Aashi (in mind): Yene yeh gift Sharon ne Swayam ke liye laayi types thi? Nai nai aisa nahi ho sakta!
While this entire confusion took place someone was boiling in anger noticing the scenario.. She was ready to rip off Aashi's head for creating all this confusion and for driving her efforts down the drain..
Sharon (in mind): What the hell! Yeh Aashi apne aap ko samjhti kya hai? How dare she! Usne mere gift pe se Swayam ka naam hatake Rey ko de diya?!.. Enough is enough! Ab main chup nahi baithungi..
By now all were in the RH ready to start their rehearsals after such a long time.. Surely it had been long from the time the D3 Team had rehearsed together.. First the entire Adi thing and then the No-Dance promise.. Today the energy level of each person was at another level all by itself.. All were present except for Sharon.. All having their own fun..
Vicky: Aaj kitne dino baad hum as Louians rehearsal karenge..
Nil: Haan dude, bahut miss kiya hai hume yeh sab..
Bharat: Aare bhai log abhi hum kabhi dance se dur nahi rahenge..
Simi: I agree.. Hum sab dance ke bina kitna incomplete feel kar rahe the..
Swayam: Yes Guys, aaj hum sab yeh promise karte hai ke chahe jo bhi ho jaye hum dance kabhi nahi chodenge..
Chorus: Promise..
They all start murmuring.. Swayam looks around..
Swayam: Guys ek minute, Sharon kahan hai?
Simi: Pata nahi woh locker room main bhi nahi thi..
Rini: Actually kal se woh mera phone bhi nahi utha rahi..
Rey: Relax woh aa jayegi..
Swayam (worried): But abhi tak toh usse aa jaana chahiye tha na..
Vicky (interrogatively): Par tu kyun uske bare main puch raha hai..
Swayam (fumbling): Woh.. main.. woh Dance team ka Captain hu na.. Toh mujhe rehearsals chalu karne the..
Though being a valid reason it sounded a bit stupid.. The gang except for Rey and Simi were convinced.. Rey and Simi were grinning ear to ear looking at Swayam worried about Sharon..
Swayam (in mind): Kahan reh gayi Sharon? Woh theek toh hai? Woh toh kabhi rehearsals ke liye late nahi hoti! Phir aaj kya hua?.. Kya karu? Par yeh mujhe kya ho raha hai? Maine toh decide kiya tha na ke main usse ignore karunga! Phir main uske bare main itna kyun soch raha hu?! Usse aana hoga toh woh aa jayegi..
But unintentionally his eyes travelled to the door.. Though he was ignoring Sharon but who was he kidding.. He still loves her the way he always did.. The only difference was that first he wouldn't mind expressing it but now things and situations were different.. He had to hide his love as he was unsure if Sharon still felt the same..
Just when he glanced at the door entered furious Sharon.. A smile crept at first but then soon the smile was replaced by confusion..
Swayam (to himself): Yeh Sharon ko kya ho gaya? Why is she so angry?
Sharon walked passed Swayam and Rey.. She straight away went to Aashi who was busy chatting with Simi and Rini.. She literally turned Aashi to face her..
Sharon (angry): Samjhti kya ho tum apne aap ko?
Aashi (confused): Sharon yeh aap kya types bol rahe ho?
Sharon (pointing a finger to her): Don't try to act smart ok! Tum jaanti ho main kis bare main baat kar rahi hu..
Aashi: Sharon please! Main chup types hu iska matlab yeh nahi ke aap mujhse kaise bhi baat types karo..
Sharon: How dare you? I'm Sharon Rai Prakash, koi mujhse aise baat nahi karta..
Aashi: Kyunki koi aapse baat type karke pagal nahi hona chahta!
Sharon: Hey watch out..
Simi stepped in between as she knew that things might go out of hand..
Simi (trying to calm down Sharon): Sharon relax!
Aashi: Nahi Simi! Sharon kya bacchii nahi hai ke aap unhe aise relax type karne bole..
Sharon:Waoh! Aaj kal bahut bolne lagi ho haan! Kahan se aaya itna confidence?!
Aashi: Jahan se bhi aaya ho.. Mujhe aapko batane ki jarurat types nahi hai..
Sharon (eyeing Swayam): Batane ki zarurat bhi nahi hai?! huh!.. Aaj kal sabko sab kuch dikh hi raha hai..
Simi (trying to calm Aashi): Aashi please relax!
Aashi (shouting): Nahi main nahi karungi relax! Jab dekho tab Sharon mujhse aake kaise bhi baat types karti hai aur main chup chap sunn leti hu.. Aaj nahi! Aap ko koi haq nahi hai ke aap mere personal life pe comment types karo.. Aakhir aapko mere se kya problem types hai?
Sharon (shouting): Haan hai mujhe tumse problem.. Kyunki tum uss insaan ko mujhse dur kar rahi ho jisse main pyaar karti hu.. Jab tumhe pata tha ke woh gift Swayam ke liye hai toh tumne kis haq se uss pe se woh note hatake woh gift Rey ko de diya! Haan? Poora college jaanta hai ke Swayam sirf aur sirf mujhse pyaar karta hai toh phir tum kyun uske peeche padi ho? Aaj dekh liya ke tum kitni cheap aur disgusting ho.. Tumne poori situation manipulate kar di aur kisiko kuch pata bhi nahi chala..
Before Sharon would go on Swayam stepped in the middle..
Swayam (shouting): ENOUGH SHARON! Bahut ho gaya!
Everyone including Sharon were shocked.. She thought that Swayam would stand by her but here he was stopping her.. He chose Aashi over her.. That high pitch of Swayam stopped Sharon from shouting but it also shattered her into minute pieces.. Her Swayam was standing against her.. She couldn't handle this anymore.. Before she broke down in front of everyone she just rushed out of the RH..
Sharon had never dreamt of something like this happening to her.. She felt she had lost her love.. Forever.. She ran to the abandon corridor as that was the only place at the moment where no one saw the broken Diva.. Swayam's reaction hit her so hard that it was difficult her to breath in the truth that Swayam doesn't love her anymore..
On the other hand, the gang was in shock with Sharon's confession and Swayam's reaction.. They just stood there like a statue.. Simi was looking at Aashi with anger blazing eyes.. And Aashi had her head hung as she was crying.. Rey was now irritated with Swayam continuous ignorance towards Sharon and today Swayam had actually crossed the line when Sharon was trying to get him back.. He walked up to him for a justification for such kind of behaviour..
Rey: Swayam tujhe ho kya gaya hai? Tu Sharon se aise kaise baat kar sakta hai? You know she loves you.. Aur phir bhi tu usse aise treat kar raha hai she means nothing to you..
Swayam: Rey not now..
Without waiting for Rey's reaction Swayam ran out.. He knew she was hurt.. He had seen it when he had raised his voice.. He also knew that she would be thinking that he doesn't love her and that's what he had to clear out.. He straight away went to the abandon corridor as he knew she was there..
In the Abandon Corridor..
Sharon was not weeping.. Nor shouting.. She was still trying to digest the fact that Swayam raised his voice at her.. Maybe he doesn't love her.. Silent tears were just flowing down her cheek.. But she was too numb to feel them.. All the time she had spent with Swayam from the time of their confession till the present was playing like a reel in front of her eyes..
Sharon (to herself): Maine shayad Swayam ko ussi din kho diya tha jab maine break-up ki baat ki.. Uss din se maine apne uss Swayam ko kho diya jo mujhse pyaar karta tha.. Jisse main pyaar karti hu.. Yeh Mera Swayam nahi hai kyunki yeh Swayam toh Sharon se pyaar hi nahi karta.. Kahan ho tum Swayam.. Please come back!.. Main akeli pad gayi hu.. Tumhari Sharon akeli hai.. She needs you.. Please come back! Please come back! Come back!! I need you! I need...
Sharon broke down completely.. She could take anything that comes her way but when it comes to Swayam she became the most vulnerable person.. His ignorance, rudeness, coldness was just enough to break her but she believed in her love and thought of getting him back at any cost but what happened few minutes back shattered the last ray of hope that was alive.. while her monologue she didn't even realise that someone was standing right behind her with tears in his eyes..
Swayam could feel the hurt her he had caused her.. The pain she felt.. And seeing her in this state killed him even more.. He saw the longing in her voice.. How much she missed him.. What had gone so bad that they had to face all of this?.. Keeping his thought aside he first thought of getting his love back.. he wiped his tears
Swayam (with love): Sharon..
Sharon went stiff listening to her name.. Though she craved to hear this voice but right now she had to face reality.. She stood up from her place while wiping her tears.. She turned around and put up the same old Diva mask of hers..
Sharon (coldly): Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?
He had predicted her reaction to be the same but now her was determined to win her back..
Swayam (apologetically): Sharon I'm sor..
Sharon (cutting): Don't you dare.. Mr.Swayam Shekhawat! Don't you dare! Mujhe tumhare muh se na sorry sunn hai aur na mera naam!
Swayam (calmly): I know! I know tum mujhe se ghussa ho par uss waqt..
Sharon (sarcastic): Main? Aur tumse ghussa? Shayad tum bhul rahe ho ek baar tumne hi mujhse pucha tha na ke 'hun kaun main tumhari?' toh?.. Main agar tumhari kuch bhi nahi hoon toh mujhe tumpe ghussa kyun aayega?!
Swayam: Sharon please..
Sharon: Exactly.. Please.. Please mujhe follow karna band karo!
She turned to leave as it was now getting hard for her to keep up the rudeness while looking into those eyes that now had immense love, all of a sudden.. But Swayam wasn't done yet..
Swayam (holding her wrist): Enough Sharon!
Her pulled her back and caught her by her shoulders.. Sharon was trying to get herself free from his grip..
Swayam (looking into her eyes): I know jo maine kiya usse tum bahut hurt ho.. But I'm sorry! I'm really very sorry.. Main tumhe hurt nahi karna chahta hai.. Tabhi tum itne ghusse main thi aur main tumhare ghusse ko jaanta hoon.. I didn't want ke tabhi tum kuch aisa bol do ya kar do jiske liye tumhe baad main guilty feel karna pade.. Iss liye mujhe tumhe tab chup karana pada..
Sharon was melting under his touch.. His eyes were just enough to break the wall that she had created.. The hurt and pain started to show up in her eyes..
Sharon (hurt): Main ghusse main kuch galat na bol du iss liye tum mujhe chilaoge jab meri galti bhi nahi hai..
Swayam: I know ke tumhari galti nahi hai.. Aur tumhe chup karvaya because tum meri ho.. Aashi meri kuch nahi hai ke kisi reason se main usse upset rahu ya uss pe ghussa karu.. Mujhe uss se koi matlab nahi hai.. Par agar tabhi tumne kuch aisa bol diya hota jiske liye tum baad main guilty feel karti tab main tumhe uss guilt main nahi dekh pata.. Iss liye main tabhi..
Sharon (innocently with tears): This means tum ab bhi meri care karte ho? You.. You still love me?
Swayam (cupping her face): I can't ever stop loving you.. Main tumse marte dum tak pyaar karta rahunga..
Sharon happiness knew no bounds.. Swayam still loves hers.. This thought was dancing around her mind and heart.. She crushed herself in his arms.. Swayam reciprocated the same way.. They had longed for this feeling of having each other in their arms since a very long time.. Destiny had been a bit cruel to them but now they were together sticking their tongues out to their destiny.. Sharon had tears once more but this time of happiness.. They hugged each other like there was no tomorrow..soon but not very soon Swayam broke the hug and looked at his lady love intently looking at him.. He saw the tears yet trickling down as she was laughing yet smiling.. He wiped them and cupped her face with one hand..
Swayam: I love you!
Sharon : I love you too!
He kissed her forehead and in response she closed her eyes taking in the feeling of him being close to her.. She rested her head on his broad chest and wrapped her handed around him.. He held her possessively and rested his head on hers.. This was her place.. From the past few days she was devoid of this peace and was really happy having it back.. Both stood silently in each other's presence.. Finally Swayam thought of breaking the silence..
Swayam: By the way, woh gift ki kya story hai?
Sharon broke the hug immediately and shyly turned to the side..
Sharon (fidgeting with her fingers): Woh.. woh maine socha ke tumhara dil phir se jeetne ke liye tumahari..
Swayam (smiling): Meri?
Sharon: Tumahari secret admirer bann jaau!
Sharon was blushing whereas Swayam was widely grinning..
Swayam (happily shocked): What!! Secret Admirer! Aur tum!
Sharon (looking at him, DIVA mode): Haan toh! kyun nahi bann sakti!
Swayam: Of course bann sakti ho kyun nahi?! But Ms. Secret Admirer you realise ke aapke first secret gift ke time hi aapne poore gang ke saamne humara Relationship ka secret disclose kar diya..
Reality struck Sharon.. She still hadn't realised that their friends now know that they were together.. But instead of over-reacting or getting hyper she calmly replied back to Swayam..
Sharon: Toh? Waise bhi aaj nahi toh kal unhe pata chalna hi tha! Toh aaj hi sahi!
Swayam: You are sure tumhe yeh karna hai right!
Sharon (intertwining their arms): Mere Mr.Shekhawat, for the first and the last time Sharon Rai Prakash apne decision ko doubt kar sakti hai but Swayam ki Siren Sharon nahi!
Swayam was stunned at her reply but at the same time was adoring His Siren..
Swayam: So let's go?
