Hey guys! Uh , i am a KR writer , have written Swaron versions as well.
So , this OS was something really close to my heart , as I had taken a lot of time to write it.
For few of my friends , i have decided to write a Swaron Version.
CHECK THE NOTE AFTER THE TS.
Okay! Before Reading , Sam is Swayam's nickname. Just like Rey is for Reyaansh. ^_^ I am not sending any PMs. Please somebody do that for me
Renascentia
Marriage! A sacred bond , that ties two people together till eternity , or till the time they can bear it. It's a relation in which compromises are as important as love and trust. If it's an arranged , well love and trust takes time to grow while compromise starts from the beginning. If it's a love marriage , love and trust is there , and compromise , well again starts from the begging. It's not about being truly in love , it's about holding your other half's hand and never letting it go.
---
Unfortunately , Sharon's marriage was based only on a compromise. One day before her marriage her fiance "confesses" to her , that he isn't interested in her and is marrying her just for the sake of his parents.
What could Sharon possibly do? Break her marriage , so that people of this judging society don't leave a stone unturned to pin point fingers at her? So she like an idiot , didn't do anything. They were getting tied to this sacred bond because their families' wished so , and that day marked , her first and her biggest compromise.
---
Fortunately , Sharon's marriage was her dream come true. She was getting married to the guy she loved , and who loved her back equally. They were getting tied to this sacred bond , against their families' wish. Building there safe heaven in another corner of this country. Going away from where they belonged and starting a fresh was there big compromise.
---
Sharon sat in their room after coming back from a tiring party. That was kept for the celebration of their marriage. "Compromised" marriage , she reminded herself and laughed at her fate.
As a kid , she had never thought to get her knight in shining armor in reality , but what she wanted was a guy who loved her.
Alas! If all wishes had to come true , the world would have been so peaceful now. Sarcasm dripping from her thoughts.
Why was she chosen as the person whose wish wouldn't come true? Was it a selfish wish that's why? Or because guys who truly love somebody are limited to novels?
Her chain of thoughts were broken by , her husband.
"Sharon , we need to go to Kolkata tomorrow. I have work related to a mansion there and mom insisted you to tag along!"
Sharon faked a smile , something she was getting used to , and nods her head.
"Sure Swayam , i will pack my bags!"
Sam replied by giving a fake smile , something he was forever used to.
He went and changed his clothes , and lied on one side of the bed , Sharon on the other and soon both were sound asleep.
---
A new morning dawned. For some it was a fresh start to a fresh day , but for Sharon , it was another act in her life.
She packed her bags , and got ready.
Sam entered after a while and informed her that they had to leave. Bidding bye to Sam's family , the two went.
---
Sharon sat on her seat , but Sam went behind , confusing her. She got up and turned to the seat behind her in which Sam seated himself.
"Swayam?"
"Sorry Sharon! Actually , I had forgotten that you were coming with me and I had checked in yesterday morning."
Sharon forced a smile and nods , she sat down. A lady sat beside her , and a man beside that lady.
The flight took off , Sharon closed her eyes. A tear escaped her eye , and she heard the lady.
"I don't mind to go behind."
Sharon wiped the tear and looked at the lady , who smiled at her.
"It's nothing like that."
"Arranged?"
Sharon nods sadly.
"I hope your trip , makes you two know each other."
"Thanks!"
Sharon found it weird , why was this lady so interested in their life! She shrugged and looked away , she close her eyes. The lady got up and went behind.
"Uh , excuse me?"
She spoke to Sam. He looked at her with questioning eyes.
"Actually , I am not really comfortable sitting with the man , and your wife wouldn't be comfortable as well , if I exchanged my seat with him , so can you exchange your seat with me?"
Sam silently got up and went ahead. He saw the guy sound asleep and leaning towards the seat and understood why she was not comfortable.
He sat there , and tilted the guy's head to the other side. He looked at Sharon , who turned and saw Sam. She was sleepy , he understood , and he wrapped his one hand around her , much to her shock , but she rested her head on his shoulder comfortably , and closed her eyes.
---
Sharon woke up , when she heard Sam calling her. They were landing.
Soon Swaron reached the hotel , Sharon went to freshen up.
After coming out she sat , and Sam went to freshen up.
She was looking around , when Sam came out , he was yawning.
"You need rest!"
"I am fine."
Sam replied and sat on the chair , drinking the tea , he looked at Sharon , she was reading a novel. It was about re-births.
"You believe in re-births?"
Sharon peeped through her book and nods in a no.
"I just like reading."
Sam came to her and sat in front of her.
"Sharon , when I said i am marrying you because of my parents , i didn't mean I am allergic to you , and when i said i am not interested in you , i meant I don't like you from a lovers point of view. I can't keep assumptions about you before knowing you and I honestly can't live my life with us being strangers to each other , so can't we two know each other?"
"It took you one month to explain your words to me!"
She spoke , Sam looked at her and for some reason both laughed. Sharon forwards her hand.
"Hello mr.Shekhawat , i am mrs. Sharon Shekhawat , your partner in this tour."
"Hey!"
They shook hands and smiled. They were talking about their hobbies and passion , and were surprised to know that both loved dancing.
"Sam."
"Yeah?"
"What is this mansion about?"
"Uh , see this was made many years ago. Dad liked this mansion a lot and since there was no claim to this land , dad bought it. He wanted to renovate the mansion , and wanted both of us to have a look at it and see what changes we want."
"Okay! What happened to the owners?"
"If people are to be believed , the mansion was built by a man , who eloped with his lover to kolkata , and struck gold. But their families , found them , and well then.."
"Sad story."
Sam nods.
---
The next day , Swaron started their trip towards the mansion. Sharon felt weird , she felt as if she knew this way.
She had passed through the streets , they were a bit different though. Sharon turned to Sam.
He was not aware of where they were going since he was busy on his laptop.
They reached the mansion. Sam came out and felt a jolt in his head. He had seen this place! Been through the streets.
He turned to Sharon , and saw Sharon , she was looking around , fiddling with her purse , her eyes were looking around the mansion.
"Beautiful. Isn't it?"
Sam nods smiling.
---
They entered the mansion , cold wind blew , making Sharon shiver. The mansion had been cleaned for them.
It had the old antique furniture , elegant paintings hanging.
Sharon again got a strange sensation , like she had stayed here , known this place.
Sam somehow felt the pain the hard work and the love that had been used to make this mansion. He felt as if he knew all the corners , all the secrets that were buried inside this house
Sharon walked to the paintings and touched them , feeling the effort that had been put into painting it. She traced it with her fingers , suddenly having a smile on her face.
She went to another painting , and smelled the fresh paint , a shot of anger ran through her spine.
The care taker of the house looked at her and spoke.
"Madam , yaha jo tasveer thi , voh jala di gayi thi."
Sharon felt a lump form in her throat , and her heart burned with agony. She didn't know why!
"Kyun?"
She heard Sam ask.
As soon as the care taker had uttered those words , Sam had felt anger rush inside him , he was shaken. Shrugging his thoughts he asked the care taker.
"Yaha jo rehte the , unke rishtedaro ne unn dono ki har tasveer jala di , bas ek tasveer hain , jo unke kamre mein hain."
"Kya mein voh dekh sakti hun?"
Sharon asked , suddenly excited to see the couple.
"Nahi , unke kamre ki darwase ki chaabi , unke saath chali gayi."
"Matlab?"
"Uss kamre ki chaabi kabhi mili hi nahi. Jab iss ghar ka kaam shuru hoga tab voh darwasa tod dia jaayega aur tab shayad aap dekh paaye."
"Nahi! Koi zarurat nahi usse todne ki!"
Sam spoke . Anger overflowed in his voice. Sharon came to him and held his hand. She somehow could relate to his anger and went to calm him. He smiled , feeling a bit embarrassed with this sudden and unexpected outburst.
"Jaisa aap chahe saab."
"Aapko aur kya kya pata hain iss ghar ke baare mein?"
"Sharon , let's have a look at the house first?"
Sam asked , Sharon looked at him and nods.
"Aapka naam Sharon hain?"
The caretaker asked , Sharon nods. He looked a bit amazed and then spoke.
"Iss ghar ki maalkin ka naam bhi Sharon hi tha."
Sharon looked at him , she felt weird. Sam looked at her , she smiled and they went to have a look.
Sharon wanted to have a look up stairs , so she went to the stairs , but stopped. She felt scared suddenly , she took the first step and a chill ran down her spine. Frightfully she walked up stairs and saw two rooms there. One was the closed room , and the other one was empty.
She entered the room , and felt a tine of happiness. She felt somebody hold her waist and spoke into her ears.
"Sharon."
Sharon moved away , nobody was there. She held her head , what was wrong with her.
She walked out and reached the door , she looked around , there must be something that would open the door.
---
Downstairs , Sam reached the kitchen , the only place which he thought needs a change. The house was perfect , and he didn't even like the idea of changing anything. He entered a room , it seemed like a study room. He sighed , why was he getting this sensation. Maybe he was sick , so he went to look for Sharon , so they could go back home.
Sharon was looking at the door.
"Sharon!"
Sharon turned scared but was revealed seeing Sam. She smiled at him.
"What?"
"I don't feel well , hum hotel chale?"
"Ya sure!"
The two reached the stairs. Sharon stopped , Sam looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
Sharon nods in a no. Sam could feel her fright and held her hand , they walked down.
---
They came out of the mansion and saw the garden. Sharon saw a swing , and sat on it. It was a big black swing.
She smiled to herself , feeling connected to the swing.
"Yaha jo rehte the voh log kaise mare?"
She asked the care taker.
"Bedardi se mare gaye the!"
Sharon looked away in pain.
"We should leave Sharon."
Sharon nods. They bid bye and went away , Sharon was looking out.
"Sam."
"Yes?"
"Can we stay there for a night?"
Sam looked at her. Sharon wanted to know the hidden secrets buried inside this house.
"Are you sure you want to?"
"Yes! Plus the ground floor room has a room that was renovated right?"
"Okay then. We'll come back tomorrow."
Sharon smiled. She looked out. Sam had felt weird in the house , still he agreed. One , because he somehow didn't want to say no to Sharon and second that he wanted to know the mystery behind what he felt , that could be solved , only in the house.
---
That night , Sharon and Sam were sleeping on the sides of the bed , when Sam felt thirsty , he got up and went to take water which was on Sharon's side. He looked at her , she had tensed lines forming on her forehead.
"D-don't."
He heard her mutter and was immediately beside her rubbing her hand. Sharon moved scared in her sleep. He understood she was getting a nightmare.
His mother had once told him that , he would often have nightmares which he never realized. To calm him , she would rub his palm and that is what exactly he did.
Sharon fell into a deep slumber peacefully , he pinned her hair back and kissed her forehead. He didn't know why , but he felt like doing so. Sharon's hand caught his and she involuntarily entwined her finger with his.
He looked at their hands. He had promised to hold her hand forever, cause of his parents. It suddenly struck him , had it been fair to her?
She was a human being , she must have had her wish to get a perfect husband , but instead got a guy who thought he was forced into this marriage. Wasn't she the one who was forced into his family drama. Sharon slowly opened her eyes , and saw Sam sitting beside her. He looked at her. She sleepily raised an eye.
"Sleep Sharon."
Sharon felt that sleep was far away from Sam through his voice and sat up.
"What's wrong?"
She spoke softly. She saw his and her hand entwined together but didn't leave it. Instead she held it more tightly.
"Sharon?"
"Ya?"
"I am sorry."
"Why?"
"Everybody has wishes of getting a perfect life partner. Even you must have had one. All cause of me you are stuck in this marriage."
Sharon sighed.
"Sam , life does not fulfill all our wishes. I never wished to have a perfect partner from the start Sam. It does not matter how you start Sam , what matters is the journey and the end."
"So can we give our relation a chance?"
"Yeh baat bolne mein bhi ek mahina lag gaya! Bahot slow ho tum."
Sam laughed , Sharon hugged him. He hugged her back and kissed her head , she was shocked for a second but , her shocked expressions were replaced by a blush. They both fell asleep in each others arms.
---
The next day , Sharon was packing their bags , when Sam came.
"Sharon?"
"Yes Sam?"
"Why do you want to go there?"
"I felt weird. I know this might sound weird , but I felt as if I know that place."
"You felt like you have lived there all your life?"
Sharon nods.
"How do you know?"
"Cause I felt the same."
At that time Sam's phone rang , it was his dad. He had called to tell Sam , that there was an important meeting tomorrow , and he had to be there , so they had to leave.
Sam cuts the call dejectedly.
"Sadly , we need to leave."
Sharon looked down sadly. Sam came to her and held her hand.
"We'll come back. Ghar bhaaga nahi jaa raha."
Sharon nods and smiled.
---
Two months had passed , the mystery behind the mansion always lingered in Sharon and Sam's mind. Alas! That couldn't be solved till the time , they go back.
Their equation had changed , their hearts had love blooming , but was afraid of confessing their love to each other.
The trip to Kolkata's mansion had changed their equation , and now maybe another trip would give their relation the much needed confession.
Maybe in the mansion which had buried an incomplete love story of two innocent souls .
Maybe there , cause that incomplete love story yearned to be eternalized.
---
She ran around the mansion , enjoying the chaze.
"Sharon!"
He called out to her , running behind her and finally caught her. He turned her pulling her close to him.
"Ab kaha jaogi?"
Sharon looked at him , he trapped her between the wall and him.
"Aapki baahon mein."
She said giggling and hugged him , he hugged her back. After few seconds she pulled back and ran to the empty room .
She felt him hold her waist.
"Sharon!"
He whispered in her ears. She looked down.
"I love you."
"I love you too Swayam."
---
BUT , you guys must be knowing I have two Swaron works , i.e Addicted and Secret Du Coeur.
Certain things have forced me to take this decision . My decision is that I AM NOT going to continue both those works , and that this is my LAST OS on Swaron.
This is another reason , i am writing this os. I am sorry guys.
