Mysterious Life
Chapter 8
Next morning...
the sun was bright outside...trying to make its way through the thick curtains...while some rays made their way in making their presence noticeable...others were blocked by the curtains...
swayam's sleep was disturbed by the light falling on his eyes...he stirred in his sleep...trying to get some more sleep...but to his disappointment even turning to the other side didn't help...as the heat from the rays started to burn his skin...at last giving up...he opened his eyes to see the time...
it was still 5:30 in the morning...he got off his bed...went to the window of his and opened the curtains to allow the light to enter the room...it was a bright summer morning...this gave him a good feeling about today...Happy Birthday Swayam...he said to himself...stretched and then turned to head to the washroom to freshen up...
as he turned he noticed piya sleeping peacefully...even with all the light present in the room...
swayam:kumbhkaran...
he then smiled at her...took his towel and fresh clothes and went to the washroom...
on the other side...
even sharon was woken by the bright sun rays...she had finally had a good night sleep...after god knows how long...and that too at swayam's house...how ironic...she thought to herself...he was the reason she couldn't sleep for this long...and now i was able to have a peaceful sleep because of him...because I'm at his home...because I'm close to him...she blushed at her thought and then woke up with a wide smile on her face...she got of her bed and went to the washroom adjacent to her room to freshen up...on her way she took the towel placed close to the washroom...she didn't have new clothes so she decided to use the ones she was wearing right now...
'...
after a while swayam came out of the washroom...after taking a shower and for a change wearing half sleeve T and black tracks (like the one he wore in his sole - bounce by timbaland) he noticed that piya was still sleeping but now in the middle of the bed...he decided to let her sleep for about half an hour or so...
he proceeded towards the kitchen to get himself some coffee...he was so indulged in making his coffee that he didn't notice someone coming towards him...
water was dripping from his hair down his face...to get rid of the water...he shook his head left to right...water droplets flew from his hair...falling on the person standing nearby...
sharon brought her hand in front of face and bent over a little to avoid water from falling on her face...but she stopped mid step as she noticed swayam...he look different...she had usually seen him wearing something full sleeves or a shirt over his T but never a half sleeves T...and her staring section started again...
swayam stopped abruptly as he noticed someone's presence near him...he turned to see who it was...he noticed sharon standing there staring at him...he saw some water droplets in his face...
swayam: im so sorry...i didn't mean to...
sharon came out of her terrace...
sharon: its ok...
and she tries to wipe off her the water droplets off her face...she got most of them...while some some were still left near her lips...
swayam who noticed this...moved towards her...still looking at the water droplets present on her face...sharon was shocked to see swayam moving towards her...for once...she could not more...or she did not want to move...she wanted him close to her...to feel him...at the moment...she was frozen to her spot...waiting in anticipation to feel his touch...her heart rate increased...while her breathing got heavier...she didn't know how to handle the new feelings arising within her...it was something completely new to her...
swayam got close to her so that he could reach her face...but for her...for it was dangerously close...her intensity was at its peak at the moment...and didn't trust herself with swayam at the moment...she could do anything in the flow of emotion...she wasn't in control anymore...she tried to move back but even that didn't seem to be in her control...she was numb...frozen to her place...
swayam reached out with his hand to wipe off the water from her face...as he touched her skin...she felt a jolt of electricity run through her...and she closed her eyes as a reflex...swayam removed the droplets off her face and moved back still looking at her face...after about a minute when she felt the sensation of his touch fading away...she opened her eyes in confusion...
swayam was still staring at her in amusement...she looked down embarrassed at her own behavior...she couldn't look into his eyes...she tried to avoid his gaze as much as possible...she was looking everywhere but hi...a light blush made its way on her already rosy cheeks...
when swayam didn't say anything...she gathered all her courage and looked up at him...only to captivated by his deep brown eyes...swayam broke the eye lock and asked...
swayam: coffee?
sharon: yea...
still feeling a bit awkward
swayam grabbed another mug and poured coffee both of them...he handed one to sharon...and both went to the garden to enjoy their coffee in the early morning sun with fresh air...
they didn't have much to say to each other...while millions of thoughts were running in their minds...so both preferred to finish their coffee in silence
'...
after finishing his coffee...swayam noticed that the time was 6:30
swayam: god..I'm late...it's gonna take half an hour to wake her up...and then madam will take forever to get ready...
he placed his mug in the kitchen sink and moved towards his room as if getting ready to face a battle...
sharon who was walking with him...was staring at him shocked...
he opened the door and moved towards the bed to wake piya up...but to his surprise he only found pile of blankets crumpled up together...
he was still staring at the blankets shocked when he heard someone calling him out...
piya:sam...stop staring at the blankets and pass me my towel...
swayam: but you woke up without...
piya: see i don't break my promises...
swayam: of you don't...
he said sarcastically...
piya: just shut up and pass me my towel...
he sighed and grabbed the towel placed on the bed and went to washroom door and handed her the towel she had asked for...
thanks she said and shut the door...
swayam went to the kitchen and got coffee for here...he entered the room and placed the mug on the table...by now sharon had fixed the bed and was sitting on one of chairs...
swayam:thanks...
sharon: no problem...
piya came out exactly a minute after...wearing a baby pink pajami suit...
swayam was staring at her when she came in front of him and snapped her fingers in front of his face...swayam came out of his shock and said
swayam: you...and suit...why are you giving me so many shocks...do you want me to die before you...
piya: oh please...you know me and suits don't get along...and be thankful...i'm just wearing this for you...otherwise i would have gotten a huge lecture from you by now...anyways...go get ready now...until i finish my coffee...
swayam: but you said...you couldn't open your bag...
piya: i managed to find the keys...and BTW i have placed you outfit in the washroom...so go and change...
he went to change and a moment later he came back holding a white outfit...
swayam: but this is not mine...
piya:i know i thought bought this for you...so you are wearing this today...and no arguments...
he sighed and went back to change
sharon who was noticing all this decided to speak up after swayam left
sharon: you look really nice in a suit...
piya:thanks..but i just can't handle them...they not my cup of tea...
sharon: i can understand...
she said lost in her own thoughts
piya noticed that sharon was still wearing her night suit...
piya: hey...you haven't changed...
sharon: yeah...actually i didn't have fresh clothes
piya: don't worry...just give me a moment...
with that she placed her empty cup on the table and placed her bag on the bed...she took out a white pajami suit out of her bag and gave it to sharon...
piya: i'm sure this will fit you perfectly...
sharon: you really don't have to take the trouble...
piya: hey...no worries...
with that she handed the suit to sharon and sent her to the other washroom to change...
swayam and sharon both entered the room at the same time...both looking like angels sent from the heavens...both not being able to take their eyes off of each other...they looked like the couple made in heaven today...(they were wearing the same outfit they for the mehndi ceremony of nichole mam)
piya who was standing in between noticed all this...staring section...she decided to bring them back on earth...as they showed no sign on coming back anytime soon...
she fake coughed...this brought them both to reality...they looked down embarrassed...trying to find an explanation to all this...
piya thought of saving them from this tension so she decided to say something...
piya: chalen
swayam: hmm
with that they all proceed towards the car...since piya felt like playing cupid today...and she wanted to give them some time together...she decided to make them sit together...she literally ran to the car and sat on the back seat...swayam was shocked at her behavior at first but then understood what she was trying to do and gave her his sweetest smile...
sharon took the seat beside swayam in the car...the drive was quite but their hands would brush with each other momentarily...and they would feel the current running through them.
they reached the mandir...swayam asked sharon and piya to get off near the steps and he come after parking the car...
they got the thaali ready until swayam parked the car and joined them...
after that they all headed to the mandir together...
they entered the mandir and prayed in front of the idols...and as usual swayam and piya took blessing from the pandit and walked around the temple while praying...after that they went to a tree and tied a thread together...wishing for each others happiness...with their eyes closed and holding hands while tying the thread...
they opened their eyes after tying the tread and bowed one last time before heading back to the temple...where sharon was still praying
sharon for the first time was thinking about someone else rather than herself...she was praying for swayam's happiness...she wanted all of his sorrows to vanish...she was asking for strength herself to make that possible for him...to do what she was going to do a moment later...she never been this scared all her life...but she hasn't been this happy all her life as well.
she came out of her thoughts when someone touched her shoulder...and right that instinct she knew who it was...
swayam touched her bring her back from her thoughts as he knew that she could not pray for this long...so she must me lost in some though of her own...
this brought her out of her thought process and she turned to look at him...
she then turned to piya who was looking at them both...with one look at sharon...she understood that she wanted to talk to swayam alone about something very important...so she excused herself making an excuse of calling someone...
they were both standing in front of the idols..even though sharon wasn't a very religious person...but she felt that this was the best place and perfect time for what was going to take place...
she made swayam turn to face...and held both his hands in hers...he could feel her hands were cold and shivering...he looked at her confused...not having the strenght to expect anything...he had been broken one too many times now to hope for anything good to occur in his life...
she looked into his eyes and noticed the pain...and flinched...she knew that she was a part of the reason behind that pain...and she had to erase it today...in whichever way...she will do what ever it took...
she stood there for few minutes without saying anything...just taking him in...
after seemed like eternity to swayam she decided to speak up
sharon: swayam...im sorry...sorry...for everything i did...i said...for treating you like...like a nobody...i'm sorry...i really am...
swayam cupped her face in his hands and said
swayam: hey...you don't...
sharon: no swayam... please let me say this...otherwise i will die with guilt...
he decided to let her speak...to let her take it all out that she has been keeping inside her for god knows how long...
sharon: i know...i know that i was one who pushed you away every time...but i was scared swayam...i was scared...that i will not be able to match your feelings...that i will hurt you...i wanted to avoid hurting you...but everytime...i hurt you more unknowingly...every time...your heart was crushed because of me...trust me swayam...i didnt...i didnt mean to...
she had tears in her eyes by now...even swayam was crying looking at her going through all this...
sharon: i wanted to save you from the pain in my life...from the pain hidden in my heart...but every time...you went away from me i didn't like the feeling...i felt as if my soul is being ripped apart...as if something that belonged to me was being taken away from me...i never wanted to push you away...yesterday...when i heard you say i love you to someone...i thought i lost you...i felt...i felt like my world crashed...i felt as i have nothing left to live for...i wanted to hurt myself...kill myself for pushing you away...
swayam put his hand over her mouth when she said that...
swayam: don't you dare say that...if your heart stops...my heart will also lose its beats...
he turned to the other side to hide his pain...but she held his wrist and asked...
sharon: you still love me...ab bhi...aise kyun ho tum swayam...meri har baat se tumhe itna faraq kyun padta hai...kyun mere itna hurt karne ke baad bhi mujhse pyaar karte ho...jab ki tumhe to mujh se nafrat karni chahiye...
swayam: tum nahi samjho gi sharon...pyaar hum se vo sab karwata hai jo hum karne ke baare mein sapne mein bhi nahi soch sakte...
sharon:samajh sakti hoon...ab shayad main yeh samajh sakti hoon...pehle mujhe lagta tha...ki tumhari feeling mere liye bahut intense hain aur main iss intensity ko match nahi kar paaoon gi...par ab mujhe yeh ehsaas hua hai...ke...meri apni feelings bhi utni hi intense hai...i...i love you swayam...i love you...and i hope...i really hope you still love me...just like before...
swayam cupped her face in his hands and said: i love you...always have and always will...and nothing in this world can change this fact...not even me...
saying this he hugged her...she reciprocated the hug with equal passion...they were still crying...but now these tears were of happiness...sharon recalled what just happened...and blushed at the thought of them being together...being one...she hugged him tighter...and hid her face in his chest...
sharon put her hands on his shoulder...reached up to his level tiptoeing and lightly kissed him on his cheek...
at first swayam was shocked...but when in sunk he smiled wide...she hugged him while blushing...
at this moment piya came back...with a wide grin on her face...
piya: so?
swayam shrugged with a smirk on his face and said
swayam: so...
piya: don't be a spoilsport sam and tell me what happened...
swayam smiled and looked at sharon...telling speak up...she looked down blushing and then looked at piya...
sharon: actually...
piya: actually?
sharon: actually...as of now...me and swayam are together...
piya jumped in excitement and hugged them both...
piya: finally...it was about time you both realize the effect you both have on each other...thank god...
swayam hit her lightly hit on her head...and then hugged her...
They once again took blessing from god...this time praying for their togetherness...and swayam thanked god making this his best birthday ever...
with that they left from the mandir...holding each others hand...to never let go again...
...To Be Continued...
(P.S. inspiration: for the confession: the actual confession scene between swayam and sharon, so most of the credit goes to that)
