Dil V/s Mind - A Swaron SS!! - Page 6

He moved just a bit closer to me and whispered, "I already read you before Sharon when you were trying to figure me out'and am proud to lead the Dil team."

What? He read me so fast and perfect..DAMN!! I felt like an open book..not fair. I was about to say something when I heard my group exclaim WOW!! I was astonished to see them appear out of thin air, as all this while I was just lost in seeing Swayam and fighting a lost war of shielding my thoughts from him. Now I didn't want my group too to know about everything, so I just walked towards my group..and said Hi guys, whats up? Where were you all? When did you all come?

I was taken aback, when I saw the expressions of anger now changing to mild surprise and shock hues etched on all my friends faces. Somewhere I heard Swayam chuckle mildly'what was it now? I was seriously feeling too helpless today and couldn't make the head or tail of the situation..as silence enveloped around me for a few moments.

As on talking on behalf of the group Rey exclaimed, "Woho Sharon..technically we should ask you this question. Where were you lost? We tried calling you since a long time, but you didn't respond and your face showed a blend of emotions. I hope you are well. It was only when Swayam called, you came out and responded."

Now the whole picture started becoming clear, the murmurs I first heard were from my group, shit! My mind told me fast..now clear the confusion soon Sharon. I told Rey, trying to sound normal, yes I am completely ''..

Swayam came near me and started staring at me making it all the difficult for me to reply. I had to get over this'but how? I just thought I will give him a signal to get out, but instead I wanted to see and understand the depths of his eyes and read him. I again went in my haze..where only Swayam mattered to me at the moment, and all others were a distraction. I wanted me and Swayam in one frame. In the background heart was shouting joyously'finally we have our day! The heart had taken full control..somewhere the mind warned me, Sharon what are you doing? I answered sheepishly, I guess am falling for him, I am loving it. Swayam smiled the most adorable smile ever..and winked at me. What, I just realised what I had said..and seeing him wink like that I almost lost my balance..and just managed to get it back. I gave a squeal..and shouted "impossible!!"

Rey was worried..and he said, "Sharon..what happened? Whats impossible..you are sick, you need rest. "I managed to say.".no Rey..its just..its just that, can you imagine, Swayam winked at me?" I told the truth..hoping that the focus will lead to him. But little did I know that I was the major focus of my group..considering the past events for going on in a while.

Rey looked at Swayam, and back to me..Sharon I guess you are sick. So you are imagining weird things..why will he wink to you? Plus even if he does..why are you suddenly so much affected by him today..We all are there asking so many questions but you tend to only hear his..and see what he is doing..are you'

My mind took over..and I replied am sorry Rey..its just that I was thinking about too many things that don't matter to me actually. I am fine and great..thank you! My group was somewhat relieved..but not Rey. He too knew me pretty well. But he decided to stop questioning and give me time to settle.

But Swayam broke the silence saying innocently, "I really hope you are well Sharon and you mean all what you said!"

In the meanwhile Swayam's classmate came and punched him playfully on his arm and said, "hi Swayam..you are here. I was searching for you everywhere, chal come with me na." She said a hi to our group too, who responded back except me. Swayam told..her nothing much, my friends wanted me here for a while.Rey told him, "Yeah..thanks buddy."

My face turned a shade of beetroot read and envy, clearly reflected in my eyes. But why are you envious Sharon..that is his classmate, plus you never had anything for him na? My heart team questioned me..

Swayam told all "cya guys..need to go!!" Saw me..smiled secretly and just waved, then he and his classmate left leaving me and my group alone.

Then Simmi told me, you know that girl Swayam's classmate is great to hang out with and cool."What??" I kinda yelled with a disappointment clearly visible in my voice..

"Woho Sharon'whats the matter?"

"Nothing"..I lied. "Now kindly explain me what happened exactly."

My group explained me in short..how they were trying to call me, and even shook me a bit of times but I was in no mood till finally Swayam called me just once.

"What??" I asked surprisingly..so it really happened, I only heard Swayam..damn.

My heart whispered we told we will fight our 100% and take charge..we hear only thru a heart that beats for you. So in that war, only that person can call you..and he proved us right. He is indeed our leader. We will reunite you both..

No way the mind scowled. Just stop..we are still there in this battle..and we are not gonna let that happen. She might have heard him by chance..it is not love or anything. We don't have time for all this..

But somewhere I knew today the mind was wrong, a series of events cant just happen by chance.

Then Rey told me..:well Sharon you can hear like this only if it is.."

"Dil ka connection. "I completed for him. Then I understood my fault too late..already my group was staring at me with surprise. All had guessed a bit something had changed..

Rey said.."well Sharon I never expected you believe in all this.."

So as to just cover up my fault I said.."well Rey its nothing like that. People change and I just saw a movie'"I cut as I knew it was a failed attempt. Rey just smirked..well Sharon actually we all need to go for some work today.

"But what about our practise?"

Simmi told me, "well Sharon we have bit of work..so we will do it after 2 days. Take some rest and relax and just figure out about.".

"The answers..I mean the movie you saw and get well fully Shar.."Rey completed for her. I just waved a goodbye as today I was short of words.

My dil ki team sang happily..

Dil toh hai sikander

Dekha bado badon ki bolti band karta hai.

The mind told something to counterattack..the war wasn't going to end till I found out some answers.

I headed home..thinking it will be a peaceful place to think. I didn't wanted to waste more time.I freshened up, changed my clothes..and sat on the bed with a notebook in hand and penned down a few questions..

They weren't about studies or dance, much greater than that about the war in my mind..

The questions were whom am I going to allow to win this time? Somewhere I always knew I had feelings for Swayam..somewhere I knew I enjoyed spending my time with him. But was I going to accept it? Was Sharon raiprakash going to let her heart win over her mind? Would I be able to give him just one chance? Or as always I would let my mind win and close this book of love here?

These were some million dollar questions I needed to answer..which would decide my destiny and give my life a turn. I was on a major turning point..where I had to take my stand calmly, and confidently.
