sharon was shocked to know that he believed that he didnt matter much to us...that they were not close enough to him to know his birthday...but kriya was...how...she is the one who betrayed us...then...why her...she didnt have an answer to that...when she heard someone's cell ringhing...
swayam looked at his cell to check who it was...as he noticed the caller id...a small crept on his face and he excused himself to talk to the person on the other end...
swayam: kaisi ho...
caller: theek hoon...tum??
swayam: vaisa hi hoon jaisa tum chod ke gayi thi...bas tumhari yaad aati hai..khaas kar aaj...
caller: i know sam...even i miss you a lot...btw...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
swayam moved the phone away from his ear as voice could burst his eardrums...
Swayam: to tumhe yaad tha...
caller: to...tumhe kya laga ki main bhool jaoon gi...agar aisa laga to ye umeed chod do...aisa kabhi nahi hoga...main kabhi nahin bhooloon gi...
swayam:i know...i miss you...
caller: yeah...me too...i wish i was there with u now...
(someone called the person from behind...)
caller:acha sam main rakhti hoon...mujhe kuch kaam hai...tum apna khayal rakha aur birthday enjoy karna...bye...love you...
swayam:tum bhi apna khayal rakhna...khush rehna...love you too...bye...
sharon who was sitting in the living room impatiently...waiting for swayam to come back...noticed that he has been away for a while now...what if something is troubling him...and he didn't want to show it to anyone...i should go check if he is ok...she went towards his room to see if he was fine..but as she entered the room she got the shock of her life...she had heard him say love you to someone on the phone...and he didn't seem to be affected by it...in fact he was happy...at that moment sharon felt like someone had stabbed her heart...her heart was crying...as if it has lost something...rather someone...very precious to it...she felt numb...she couldn't figure out what to do...her heart told her that this can't be true...she can't lose him...she can't her swayam...but her brain told her a completely different story...it said that that he had finally moved on...that even he deserved to be happy...and he had found someone who is willing to give him that happiness...unlike her who has always pushed him away...regardless of his feeling towards her...regardless of the fact that she hurt him more...crushed his heart into pieces every time she did that...today...her heart felt crushed...and she didn't what to do about...but she did know one thing and that was that today...her heart and brain were both on the same side...against her...taunting her for every single thing that she had said to him...that she had done to him...she felt like killing herself at the moment for hurting someone like swayam...
she was still lost in her thoughts when swayam cut the call and turned to go outside...when he noticed sharon standing at the door with a blank expression on her face...
swayam: sharon? tum yahan...
she came out of her thoughts when he called her...she somehow managed to compose herself for the moment but she had to get out here...that too fast...otherwise she is not going to be able to control herself from breaking down in front of...and she didn't want him to see her crying...god...she felt so vulnerable at the moment...
sharon: yeah...actually...tumhe bye bolne aayi thi...mujhe chalna chahiye...hamara kaam bhi khatam ho gaya hai...aur raat bhi bahut ho chuki hai to...maine piya ko bhi bata diya hai...
swayam: oh...ok...are you sure ki tum akele...jaa sakti ho...i can drop you off if you want...
sharon: no its ok swayam...i'll manage...dont worry..
swayam: ok then...see ya later...
sharon:yeah...happy birthday once again...bye...
swayam: thanks... bye
with that she quickly walked out of his home...as soon as she was out of sight she literally ran to her car and sat there sobbing...crying her heart out...unable to move even an inch at the moment.
'...
swayam: sunshine...chale...raat bahut ho gayi hai...ab hume sona chahiye...subha jaldi uthna hai...aur jaha tak main tumhe jaanta hoon...tumhe uthane mein kum se kum mujhe aadha ghanta to laga ga...
piya: sunday ke din bhi jaldi...not fair sam...mujhe nahi uthna...
swayam: uthna to pade ga...varna pani daal kar uthana pade ga...
piya: you can't do that...
swayam: of course i can...
piya: oh you are so going to regret saying that sam...
swayam: whatever...we'll see...
'...
it has been about half an hour by now...he tears had dried out...she was still sitting in her car..in the parking lot in front of swayam's house...
sharon: sorry swayam...i didnt mean...i didn't want to...
these were the only words she has been saying for the past half an hour...now that she had gained little bit control over her...she decided to to get back home before her body betrayed and refused to move...but to her bad luck the car wouldn't start..no matter how much she tried...it wouldn't budge...with no choice left in her hand...she decided to go back to his home...but before that she had to fix herself...she straightened her dress...cleared her tears stained face...with no sign of tears left on her face she checked her eyes...she noticed that they were a bit red and puffy from all the crying...well she couldn't do much about that...she took a deep breath to gather all the courage she could muster out of herself at the moment and headed back to his house...to her surprise the door was still open...kaka must have forgotten to close it, she thought to herself.
she opened the door and entered...as she entered...she was even more surprised to see the sight in front of her...piya and swayam arguing...no...i must be dreaming...she rubbed her eyes to check if what she was seeing was real...but the sight didn't fade...they were still there...
swayam: you will...
piya:will not...
swayam: yes
piya:no
swayam:i said yes
piya:and i said no
swayam: yes
piya: no
swayam:no
piya:yes
'...
swayam: see you agreed...now you will have to wake up early...
piya: god...sam why do you have to be so pushy...can we go to the temple later on...i promise god wont be mad with us...especially you...so why do u have to torture me...
swayam: i'm torturing you or you are torturing me...i could have gone to bed by now...but look...what am i doing right now...standing here and arguing with you...as if i have nothing better to do...
piya: shut up sam...this is not funny...
swayam:when i did i say this was funny...
piya: ok...lets have a deal...i will wake up early if, i get to sleep in your room, on your side of the bed...
swayam:why my room and why my side...
piya: well lets just say i'm playing safe...there are three reason behind it...first...you have the best room in this house...second...i won't be afraid at night if you are there...and third...if i sleep on your side of the bed...you won't throw water at me to wake me up...
swayam:smart...
piya: that i am...
swayam:well...fine..but promise me...you will wake up...
piya:promise baba...ab chalein...
swayam: haan...
piya: my ride??
swayam:what ride...
piya looked at swayam as if he was forgetting something...he rolled his eyes and turned his back towards her...she hopped onto his back, he carried her on his back and started to walk towards his room...when they noticed sharon standing at the door staring at them with amazement...
Swayam: sharon tum?
sharon, who was standing there till now staring at them...came out of her thoughts...
sharon: huh...yea...actually...vo meri car kharab ho gayi...pata nahi kyun par start hi nahi ho rahi...toh kya tum...
piya: don't tell me sharon ki tum pichle half hour se bahar khadi thi...
sharon looked down guiltily...without saying anything...
piya: anyways come in...why are standing at the door still...
sharon: nahi actually mujhe chalna chahiye...main to bus poochne aayi thi ki kya swayam mujhe lift de sakta hai...
swayam who was still standing there with piya on his back...began to put her down and at the same time move towards the table to grab his car keys...
piya stopped him from doing so and started talking to sharon...
piya: sharon why don't you stay here for today...vaise bhi bahut raat ho chuki hai...kal subah hum tumhe mandir jate waqt ghar drop kar denge...
sharon: you really don't have to take the trouble...it's ok...
piya: what trouble...you are sam friend...i'm sure he can arrange a room for you...unless you are uncomfortable here...
sharon: no...no it's nothing like that...i'm completely fine with me...
piya: good...then come sit with us in sam's room...we'll talk until your room is fixed...
sharon: sure...
she was still uncertain about her stay at swayam's home but piya insisted...she didn't want to hurt her feelings...plus she was getting to spend some time with swayam...this could get any better...she could already feel her mood lighting up...
swayam was lost in his own little world...thinking about how sharon agree to stay at his home...that too this easily...what gotten into her...is she changing...does she have feelings for me...no swayam you are thinking...she's just here for the night and then she will leave...
he had noticed the redness and puffiness of her eyes...which made him think...did she cry? but why? he wanted to ask her...but thought better of it...as this might spoil her mood and... she seemed happy for now...and that was all he wanted. he ignored all his bad thoughts and moved towards his towards his room...followed by sharon...who seemed to be unusually excited...swayam couldn't figure out the reason behind her behavior this time...
As soon as they reached the room...swayam put piya down on the bed and immediately sat on the bed with his back resting on the headboard...head tilted backwards and eyes closed.
piya: sam kya hua...are you ok??
swayam:hmm...im fine...dont worry...ab agar inti bhaari cheez uthaunga to yeh halat toh hogi na...
piya's jaw dropped to the floor...
piya: tumne mujhe bhaari kaha...mujhe...
swayam: to aur kise...tumhe kya lagta hai...ki tum feather jitni light ho...
piya: jao...mujhe tumse baat hi nahi karni...
as soon as she said that she regretted it...she could see the pain arising in swayam's eyes...she turned towards him and cupped his face in her hands...
piya: hey...im sorry...i know you were just joking...and you i didn't mean it like that...i promise i will never stop talking to you...you know i can't live without you...i'm sorry...please...
swayam just nodded his head quietly...
meanwhile sharon who was standing there witnessing all the happenings...couldn't understand a thing...all she could see was piya being mad at swayam and then telling him that she won't talk to him...and then...instead of swayam pacifying her...she was pacifying him...why? what is happening here...i really have to get into their heads...she thought to herself...
she was bought back on earth when piya called her to sit on the bed next to them...at first she sat on the corner of the bed...but when piya insisted her to make herself feel comfortable and feel at home...she sat on the bed cross legged in front of piya and swayam so that she could face them...
piya and sharon continued chatting on different topics while swayam seemed zoned out...but then he let them be and started to do something on his laptop...after about fifteen minutes or so he was laughing like a maniac...he was laughing so much that he fell sideways on the bed and his head rested in piya's lap...
piya:ab arjun ne aisa kya keh diya jo tum iss tarah hass rahe ho?
swayam's head shot up at her comment...
piya: what...tumhe kya laga ki mujhe pata nahi hai ki tum arjun se baat kar rahe ho...
swayam, with a weird expression said: you know , you knowing me this well is freaking me out more and more day by day...
'.may be that's why our parents are behind us to us married to each other...what do you think?
piya: yeah...maybe...so are you trying to say that we should not know each other this well...or pretend to not know each other this well... in that case...our plan will fail because there will be times when i won't be able to stop myself to say something about you...and you know that...
swayam: yea...i do...anyways don't worry about it now...
piya: sam...somebody is missing you...you should talk to him...i'm sure you guys must be joking about shona's behavior or it have something to do with aaliya...
this shocked swayam one more time...he looked at her with a shocked expression...
swayam: what is wrong with you today...
piya: nothing...you guys have nothing better to do...then to irritate my shona...
swayam smacked her head and said: whatever...like you have better things to do...
with that he got back to his chat with arjun...and piya started to talk to sharon again...
'...
after a while...piya looked up at swayam who was still busy chatting and looked happy doing what he was doing...
she went to her luggage to get night suits out for herself and sharon...new sharon was sitting there all alone...staring at swayam...but for some reason today...he was too busy doing something else...and this fact irritated her that he found something else more interesting than her...but she came out of thoughts when she heard footsteps...
it has only been about a minute...and piya came back into the room carrying a bag with both her hands...as soon as she entered she threw the bag at the bed...this made swayam look up at her...
piya: sam...mera bag nahi khul raha...vo actually main iss ka combination bhool gayi hoon...
swayam: toh ab...kaise kholo gi isse...lock ko tod bhi nahi sakte...
piya: thanks for the information sam...yeh sab mujhe pehle se hi pata tha...koi solution dhoondh...
swayam: meri coubord mein tera ek night suit pada hai...its on the last shelf...main nikal deta hoon...
piya: par mujhe do night suits chahiye...
swayam: kyun inti thand lag rahi hai kya...
piya: shut up sam...i need one for me and one for sharon...
swayam looked at sharon who was listening to them very carefully...and said: to thik hai...apna night suit sharon ko dedo aur tum...mere kapdon mein se koi lelo...
piya:you are a saviour...an angle...and don't worry...main dhoond loon gi...tum washroom jaa aao..phir sona bhi hai...subah jaldi jo uthna hai...she said to him in a mocking way...
swayam: bas bas...ab aur tareef karne ki zaroorat nahi hai...and look who is reminding me...
with that he ended his chat with arjun and headed to the washroom...
piya took out clothes for sharon and herself...she told sharon where the other washroom is...sharon was about to go to change...when she noticed piya entering that washroom swayam had gone into a minute ago...the fact that she was shocked was an understatement...
how could she go into the same washroom...when she knows that swayam is already there...these thoughts were eating her from inside and she was questioning the relationship piya and swayam share...but what she didn't know and piya knew was that the swayam's washroom had two compartments to it...it had a walk in closet and then the washroom itself...so anyone could go into the closet and the person in the washroom wouldn't know about...and piya had gone into the closet to change...
sharon pushed herself to the washroom to change...ignoring all the bad thoughts that were coming in her mind...she changed as quickly as possible and headed back to swayam's room...when she entered she noticed piya sitting on the bed with red short shorts that fit her perfectly and a white T which seemed to be big for her size...she sat on the bed and at the same moment swayam came out of the washroom with wet hair...water still dripping on the sides of his face.. wearing a white T and black shorts. the view in front of her had made her forget all her insecurities...and she just concentrated on what was in front of her.
It was was a shock to sharon...she had never seen him in shorts...he looks...hot...she thought to herself...and blushed at her own comment...he should wear it more often...she gawking at him...without caring about what impression she would create in front of him...swayam who has just walked into the room...noticed sharon staring at him in a strangely different way...this made him self conscious...at first he tried to ignore it by looking somewhere else...but she still didn't stop..so she he stared right back at her in her eyes and said:sharon?
he was looking at her questioningly...
that's when she came out of little world and noticed what she was upto...this made her look down and she blushed furiously...
this is a first...sharon...blushing...that too because of me...swayam thought to himself...and then smiled at his thought...
swayam: yeh kahan se mila tumhe...yeh toh kho gaya tha na
he said looking at piya...this bought sharon back to earth and she looked up to see what he was talking about...
piya: tumhari cupboard se...it was hidden on the last shelf under your old clothes...aur mujhe achche se pata hai ki isse yahan kis chupaya hai...
swayam: kisne...
piya: aur kon ho sakta...meri life ka sabse bada problem...arjun...
swayam laughed at that...you are mad at him for hiding your shorts...
piya: my favorite ones...
swayam: yeh whatever...can we go to bed now...
he was about to go to the bed when he saw piya holding a wooden box...
swayam: tum iske saath kya kar rahi ho...
piya: kyon...issme aisa kya hai jo tum mujhse chupana chahte ho...
and with that she tried to open the box...
swayam: dont you dare open that...thats personal...
piya: and im not?
swayam: i didnt mean it like that...i'll show it to you when the right time comes...
piya: no mujhe abhi dekhna hai...
with that she started to run around the room with box...swayam followed her to take the box away from her...they went over the bed...over the sofas...and what not...completely forgetting the fact that sharon was still there watching all this closely...
at last swayam caught her when they were on the bed...they both fell on the bed...she was lying on the bed while swayam sat on her...she hid the box behind her back to keep it out of swayam's reach...swayam grabbed one of her other arm with one of his hand while his other hand was trying to reach the box...
swayam: sunshine...give me the box now...
she just nodded her head in a no...
swayam: fine...then i won't open the box...as only i can open it...you can keep it for your lifetime and you won't get to see what is in it...plus if you don't give it back to me now you won't get to sleep on my side of the bed...soch lo...think about...
with that he left her hand...got off of her and smirked a little...
sharon couldn't believe her eyes...she didn't know swayam could behave like this...he could threaten someone...and that smirk...it's like he has full confidence that she will agree what he wants her to agree on...
piya was thinking about what he had said...she knew that swayam was the man of his words...if he said he will show it to me when the right time comes then he will show it to me...then i should give it back to him...plus that way i will also get to sleep on his side of the bed...
she slowly walked up to the window where swayam was now standing staring at the moon...she stood beside him and also started to look in the direction of his gaze...and handed him the box...
piya:sorry...but promise me you will show me what's inside...
swayam: promise..and you know i never break my promise...
with that he got back to what he was doing earlier...staring at the moon...
even sharon knew by now that swayam never broke his promise...he always stood by his word...
swayam(self talk): i wish...sunshine...i wish i could tell you what's inside this box...if only i wasn't bound to the promise...of not sharing it with anyone...but i'm sure there will be a day when i will be able to show these letters to you...tell you why i didn't show them to you earlier...i know you only want my happiness but...but i can't break her promise...and i know that when you will meet her you will love and even she will love you...god please bring that day very soon...i can see sunshine...that...you will bring her back...you will bring the happiness back into our lives
with that he wiped off the tears that were making their way out of his eyes now...piya who was still standing beside him gave him a side hug and asked him to come inside to sleep...held her that he will join her in a minute...
with that piya went inside and talked to sharon about their morning plan of waking up early to go to the temple because of hers and sawayam's birthday...
sharon agreed to the plan and was about bid goodnight to piya when swayam entered...she looked at swayam for a moment and then bid them both good night...
she was walking towards the door when she remembered that she didn't know the way to her room...
she turned to ask...when she heard swayam telling piya to move over so that on the bed so that he can some space to sleep...he literally pushed her to the further side of the bed to make some space for himself and then threw a blanket that bed and hopped onto the bed himself...
sharon at first was shocked to see them both sleeping on the same bed...her earlier thoughts about them came back to her head...how can swayam sleep with someone else...but then she realised that they had separate blankets...that relaxed her a bit...which reminded her of their earlier conversation about piya sleeping on swayam's side on the bed...this brought her to the conclusion that this must not be the first time they were sharing a bed or room as they seemed pretty comfortable doing that...and how much ever she knew swayam...she knew that he takes a lot of time to get comfortable with anyone...
so she put all her bad thoughts aside and asked swayam about swayam about her room...as if right on the que...kaka came into the room and told swayam that sharon's room was prepared...swayam thanked him...and then led sharon to the room...they bid goodnight to each other and...Then both drifted off to sleep in their separate room...still lost each other...
