SwaRon OS: And I love you..

SwaRon OS: And I love You..

Finally! Finally! St. Louis Fresher's Party 2014 was a huge success.. The fresher's had appreciated their senior's a lot throughout the party.. The board and moreover VP sir proudly put up his collar as he heard the words of appreciation for his cultural team.. He had always been proud of them and thus trusted them with the reputation of the college.. The gang was overwhelmed by the response and was really happy that their last event organised for the college was such a success.. They were celebrating their success just like they did before.. Having a gala time with a cup of coffee on the terrace..

Nil: Yaar aaj toh maza aa gaya..

Vicky: Haan yaar.. Apni Fresher's Party yaad aa gayi.. Kya maze kiye the tab bhi

Simi: I agree.. But yeh naye student kuch jyada hi you know smart samjhte hai khud ko

Sharon: Attitude toh jaise bhara pada hai sab main..

Rey: Bichara student! Aate hi The Sharon Rai Prakash se panga le liya? *giggles*

Bharat (giggling): Banta woh toh gaya! Ab pata nahi aur kitne din iss college main tik payega..

All share a short giggle but shut up as soon as they come across the deadly glares from the Diva.. They continue with their chit chat but not all notice the lean guy sitting there in silence, lost in his own thoughts.. Sharon was sitting right next to Swayam, she noticed that he was sitting there motionless and staring in thin air.. She first nudged him but got no response.. She nudged him again but again got no response.. Then she clicked her fingers in front of his eyes..

Sharon: Swayam!

Swayam (coming out of the trance): Ha..an.. Haan.. Kya?

Sharon: Kya hua?.. Tum itne lost kyun ho?

Swayam: Kuch nahi woh bas..

Bharat: Aare tension kyun le raha hai.. Sasuma toh khush lag rahi thi poore party main.. Phir kis baat ka tension?

Vicky: Haan yaar! Aaj toh Swayam ki priority sirf Sharon ki mom.. Sorry I mean "SASUMA" hi thi..

Swayam: Nahi aisa nahi hai..

Nil: Kya aisa nahi hai! Aaj toh tere efforts dekh kar sasuma kya tera poora sasural impress ho jaata..

All share a hearty laugh.. And Sharon blushed as well as laughed along because she very well knew that Swayam was doing all of this just for her.. And she felt nothing but pride and felt lucky that she had someone like Swayam who was ready to do all of this for her.. Out of affection she slowly intertwined both her arms with his arm holding him tight.. But Swayam had no reaction to what Nil had just said.. He continued looking at nothing in specific but just gave a weak smile.. Sharon who was looking at him was confused with his behaviour.. She jerked him lightly to get his attention.. He turned and looked at her only to find a pair of confused.. concerned orbs looking upon him.. He smiled at her affectionately yet weakly.. How much he loved her.. How much she loved him.. None of it needs a proof.. She was his love.. His Life.. And he wouldn't let anything go wrong.. He would never let that smile off her face.. That was a promise he had made to himself.. He kept looking at her reflecting the love he saw in her eyes.. She asked him through gestures that what was wrong.. He smiled at her and lightly nodded negatively saying that everything was fine.. She was convinced that he was lying.. He was a terrible liar as his truthful eyes never hide anything from her.. She could make out that there was something that was troubling him.. and she was quite sure that if he was hiding it from her, the matter concerned her.. Not wanting to disturb his chain of thoughts right now she chose to just sit by him and let him get it sorted out by himself at first.. She smiled back at him and resumed talking to their friends while moving a bit more closer at the same time..

After some time all of them started packing up to leave for home as it was late.. The gang members had already left and Swayam-Sharon were slowly walking their way to the exit.. Both kept silent.. Lost in their own thoughts.. Sharon too was now thinking deep about something.. Swayam just happened to turn to her because this silence was something he wasn't use to.. Sharon and that to this silent was always a matter of concern for him.. As they walked Swayam slowly slid his hand in her's and held it giving it a light squeeze.. Sharon looked at him and gave him a light smile and held his hand in return.. They walked in silence but this time stealing glances of one another..

Swayam thought of breaking the ice this time.. They were about to exit the college building when he stopped in his track.. Sharon turned to him looking at him confused..

Sharon: Kya hua? Ruk kyun gaye?

Swayam: Sharon aisi koi baat hai jo tum mujhse share karna chahti ho? Aisi koi baat hai jo tumhe pareshaan kar rahi hai?

Sharon stood numb for a moment.. As much as she wanted to tell Swayam about her problems more she refrained herself as she didn't want to burden him and also she didn't know if her mom would be pleased that he knew about their family issues.. She for a moment didn't know what to say.. She looked everywhere but him.. All this while Swayam was silently observing her change in behaviour.. He could clearly see that she was struggling to answer him.. He knew something was wrong from the night she had come to him just to tell him that her mom won't keep her food if she was late.. But he didn't want to force her into telling him anything.. After the party today he felt it's time to put a step down or else Sharon might just lose it due to whatever the problem was..

He held her hand and gave it light squeeze just to get her attention.. Sharon looked at him but wasn't able to look into his eyes.. She could do anything but lie to him.. He just knew her so well..

Sharon (fumbling): Nahi.. Nahi Swayam.. Woh.. Aisi koi baat nahi hai..

Swayam just looked at her with narrowed brows.. She still didn't dare to look at him.. If he was a terrible liar she was worse..

Sharon: Swayam chale? Late ho raha hai?

Dropping it off for the time being he nodded and turned to leave with her.. Both kept silent again.. As they took a single step forward, it had started pouring cats and dogs.. Both looked at the rain in disbelief.. Why? All of a sudden.. But this was Mumbai so unpredictable was its nature..

Sharon (looking at Swayam): Ab? Ab kya kare?

Swayam: Hey relax.. Main abhi ghar se car mangva leta hoon..

Sharon: Aare par bearish agar kum ho gayi toh hum toh cycle par bhi jaa sakte hai na?!

Swayam: Jaa sakte hai.. Par nahi jayenge..

Sharon (confused): Kyun?

Swayam (lovingly): Kyunki I can't risk your health.. Abhi bheeg jaogi aur kal bimar padh gayi toh?!

Sharon: Swayam aisa kuch nahi hoga..

Swayam: You can't be sure right?! Agar ho gaya toh?

Sharon: Bimar nahi padhne ke darr se bearish main bheegna toh band nahi kar sakte na..

Swayam: Haan I agree.. But abhi nahi..

Sharon (giving up, irritatedly): Fine!

Swayam noticed the irritation and he obviously didn't want that..

Swayam: Aur waise.. Tum agar abhi geeli ghar pe gayi toh saasuma phir se mujhse ghussa ho jayegi..

Sharon (looking at him): You..

And that was it Sharon turned to him in that irritation throwing death glares.. She without thinking started pounding her fist on him and he laughed it out.. Both stopped for a second looking at one another and it didn't take a moment to burst into a fit of laughter.. That's the magic of their relation no matter how bad a situation get they both knew that all will be fine if they were together.. Swayam's laugh slowly subsided and he kept looking at her laughing.. All the thought that were in his mind before surfaced up.. He wanted that smile to always stay on her lips but here he knew it was occasional as there were things eating her up at other times.. He wanted her to talk about it to him but he also wanted that smile to stay.. After having an argument with his brain and heart he came to a conclusion.. He kept looking at her while she kept starring at the pouring droplets outside.. Her one hand was spread out feeling the soft droplets while the other was intertwined with his arm.. The smile was yet there but she was also lost at the same time..

Swayam moved closer to her and wrapped his arm around her waist.. He bent forward and placed a deep soothing peck on her temple in an attempt to wash away all the tension she was going through.. Sharon smiled at his gesture and turned to look at him.. He was yet there with that intense look and all the love in his eyes.. She knew no matter what he would always be there for her.. Then why was she so hesitant in telling him.. Her Swayam about all that was going on in her mind.. Her Life.. She knew that he had a doubt that she was hiding something major from him.. Then why doesn't she come clean and tell him all about it.. Why doesn't she just let it out to him.. It has been killing her to keep it all in.. Why doesn't she just share it with him..

Swayam saw the turmoil she was facing.. The way she was looking at him just showed how much she needed him.. And he knew that it was now or never.. He has to get her out of whatever she was going through..

Swayam (softly): Hey, you trust me na?

Sharon (confused): Kya?

Swayam (cupping her face with one hand): Tum mujhe trust karti ho na?

Sharon (still confused): Of course Swayam.. Yeh kaisa sawal hai.. (holding his hand that's on her cheek) Duniya main sabse jyada..khud se jyada mujhe tumpe trust hai..

Swayam (creasing her cheek with his thumb): Toh let it out Sharon.. Kisi aur ke liye nahi toh mere liye.. It kills me to see you like this.. Please.. Batao mujhe..

Sharon was moved looking at the amount of concern.. love.. care she could see in his eyes.. She closed her eyes letting the tears that she has been hiding flow.. Swayam held on to her tight..

Sharon (sobbing): Meri family..

Swayam (caressing her hair to calm her down a bit): Tumhari family?

Sharon (looking at him): Meri family financial crisis main hai.. Mom ke businesses are taken over.. Dad ka business loss main hai.. Aur mera jo ghar hai.. That's the only thing I have left..

Swayam (shocked): What????

Sharon (sobbing): Haan.. Aur meri family 60 crore ke debt main hai

Swayam was way too shocked listening to all of this.. He held on to Sharon as he saw her breaking in his arms.. He pulled her closer and hugged her tight.. Letting her cry her heart out.. He knew there was a problem.. But a problem that big was a huge shock to him as well.. And knowing that Sharon has been facing all of this by herself made his heart wrench.. Before anything else he first had to calm Sharon down..

Swayam (creasing her hair): Hey.. Hey.. Shhh.. Calm down Sharon.. Dekho.. Main hu na tuhmare saath.. Hey..

Sharon couldn't control herself she has been holding all of this back for a very long time now.. And now that she had told Swayam about it broke a damn in her heart.. She broke the hug still sobbing and looked at Swayam.. She held on to his shoulder for support..

Sharon: Aur.. Aur tumhe pata hai.. Mom ne mujhse woh contract iss liye sign karvaya taaki mera job secure ho.. She thinks ke yeh Dance Academy is our only hope.. But.. Maine unhe samjhne ki bahut koshish ki ke dance academy se itna profit milna itna easy nahi hai.. Par.. Woh.. Phir..

Swayam: Hey.. Pehle toh shaant ho jao.. Please Sharon.. Stop crying.. Please.. Stop crying..

Sharon looked down and closed her eyes to control herself.. She took a few deep breaths in and out.. Swayam looked at her and wiped the tears off before they stained her cheeks.. He cupped her face and made her looked at him once again..

Swayam (calmly): That's like my Sharon.. Ab dekho.. Main hoon na tumhare saath.. Chahe jo bhi ho.. I'm always there with you.. Aur rahi baat iss poore situation ki.. Main papa se baat karke dekhta hoon..

Sharon (alert): Nahi Swayam.. Woh..

Swayam (cutting her): Sharon.. Trust me.. Main dad se baat karke dekhta hoon.. I'm sure isse koi na koi solution nikal aayega.. Tum please iss baat pe ab jyada worked up mat ho.. Main tumhari saari tension dur kar dunga.. I promise..

Sharon kept looking at Swayam.. She was really lucky to have him.. To have such an amazing guy woh loves her like crazy.. And who is there to hold her hand and stand by at any given point in life..

Sharon: Sorry..

Swayam (confused): Sorry?

Sharon (with brimming eyes): Mujhe pata hai maine yeh baat tumhe pehle hi bata deni chahiye thi.. Par..

Swayam (placing a finger over her lips): Shhh.. You don't have to be.. Mujhe pata hai sahi time pe tum yeh baat zarur mujhe se share karti.. Woh toh bas main tumhe aise itne tension main nahi dekh sakta iss liye aaj tumhe bolne pe majboor kar liya tha.. (winks at her)

Sharon (looking intently into his eyes): I love you..

Swayam: And I love you more..
