Lost In Love
Part 5
Sharon stood there for God knows how much time. She just did not know what to do. She was so shocked that she could not even move. "What have I done? What have I done? I just told everything to Swayam. Swayam, the guy who is Kria's best friend! He is going to tell everything to Kria and then she will pass on the news to Rey. What is Rey going to think about me? What if he stops talking to me after this? Swayam was absolutely right. I am too stupid! Why did I suddenly feel as if I could trust him? Why was he looking so kindly at me? (And then suddenly realizing that she was still standing in front of her house) And why the hell am I still standing here?"
She went back to her room and changed into her nightclothes. But she very well knew that she would not be able to sleep that night. "Why? I still can't understand why I felt like trusting Swayam of all the people in this blue earth? I just hate him! I hate you Swayam!" She wished there had been a restart button and everything would be normal as it was two months back-life without Kria, and more importantly, Swayam. "I will have to talk to Rey first thing in the morning." She thought after which sleep drifted slowly into her drunk and tired mind.
"Tring'tring'tring!!"''' Sharon woke up as soon as the alarm clock rang. It was 5 o'clock. She found her phone and saw that she had received a text message from Rey-
"Hey Sharon, meet me at 6 at the college canteen. We need to talk."
Under normal circumstances, Sharon would have been happy after receiving such a message. Today all she could feel was fear. "This Swayam guy is quite fast. He has told Rey everything which is why he wants to meet me so urgently. His message had such a serious tone to it. I guess I am going to loose Rey forever now. Swayam Shekhawat, you are responsible for all this and if I loose Rey, you will have to face the consequences!"
Sharon got dressed very quickly, and even though battling a terrible hangover, reached college in time. She felt a certain kind of nervousness which was holding her back before entering the canteen. From outside, she could hear voices. "So Rey is not alone. I have to go find out what is going on. This can't be that bad." She gathered up all her courage and entered the canteen. She saw Rey sitting with Kria and Swayam and they were having a serious conversation. They stopped talking as soon as Sharon entered. Rey and Kria held on to their serious expressions but Swayam looked smilingly at her. "What kind of a guy is he? Firstly he told everything to Rey and Kria, and now he is smiling at me? He is just so mean!!" Sharon thought.
Rey walked up to Sharon and asked her to sit. Sharon sat down and waited calmly for the storm.
Rey: Sharon, you are my best friend and always will remain to be so. I expect a lot from you.
Sharon: Rey, I know'
Rey: No, please hear me out Sharon. You realize that Kria is my girlfriend, right?
Sharon: Yes, but Rey'
Rey: No Sharon, let me talk. I had expected a lot from you. And this is what you do to me?
Sharon: Rey, listen to me'please let me explain.
Rey: What is there to explain? Swayam told me everything you told him last night.
Sharon looked at Swayam and glared at him. Swayam looked as if he was going to burst out laughing any moment. Sharon, in return, started cursing him in her mind.
Rey: And what you told him has made me really disappointed in you.
Sharon: But'
Rey: Seriously. I never expected this from you. I always thought you will always be there to help me but why are you ditching me like this?
Sharon (looking shocked): Hey wait, helping? Ditching? What?
Swayam burst out laughing. He kept on laughing and he almost fell off his seat.
Rey: Sharon, why are you so confused? You toh only told Swayam that you are not going to help me with making Kria and Swayam adjust to this college.
Sharon: I didn't say that!
Swayam (after finally stopping to laugh): Rey, she is right. I was just joking around. I made up all that stuff.
Kria: Kya yaar Swayam! You are always playing pranks and joking around like this.
Sharon just couldn't believe this. "Why have Swayam not told Kria and Rey everything? Why is he doing this?" Sharon wondered.
Sharon: wait, so even Swayam is joining our college. I thought only Kria was shifting to this city.
Kria: Sharon, actually Swayam is part of my family only. His dad and my dad are great friends and business partners too. They have decided to relocate their business in India which is why we decided to shift to India. In fact, we live in the same house. Swayam is family.
Sharon was not too happy. She was tolerating Kria all this while but now Swayam is going to be there too. This guy's presence was disturbing her a lot. Adding to that, he was acting all mysterious. "Why haven't he told Rey and Kria everything?" she kept on wondering.
Kria: So Sharon, you are going to help us adjust to St. Louis, right?
Rey: Of course, sweetheart, she will. I am the General Secretary and she is the Cultural Secretary of the college. She is bound to help you. Right Sharon?
Sharon: Right.
Sharon looked at Swayam. He was busy with his phone. He was not looking at her. She wanted to talk to him. She actually wanted to know what this guy wanted from her.
Rey: I have called our entire gang early today. They will be here any moment. Just then they heard a voice from behind saying "Rey ne bulaya aur hum chale aye!" It was Nilesh's voice. Sharon, Swayam, Rey and Kria turned around and saw the entire gang standing at the door.
Vicky" What yaar Rey! Why did you call us so early? My Kagu couldn't sleep properly.
Neha: Even my Babu couldn't sleep properly.
Vishaka: Hey man! Who are these two?
Simmi: Yeah, who are they?
Rey: Guys, these are our new friends. Meet Swayam Shekhawat (he pointed at Swayam and then side-hugging Kria) and this is Kria Ghai- my girlfriend.
The gang (in unison): Your girlfriend??!!
Bharat: Tu aur girlfriend?
Rinni: I know, right? What is wrong with you Rey?
Simmi: Sharon, you knew about this?
Sharon: I got to know yesterday.
Rinni: I toh always thought Rey and Sharon are a couple.
Simmi: Shut up Rinni. Don't mind her Kria. And hello Swayam!
Amar: Welcome to our college!
Swayam and Kria: Nice to meet you all.
Neha: Neha thinking we showing them our college.
Kria: Sorry, I don't get you.
Vicky: She means we should show you our college. Come lets all go.
They left the canteen and they went to all the classrooms, atrium, terrace, and the rehearsal hall. Sharon was the last to leave the hall. As she was leaving a strong hand grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her towards it.
"How dare you? How dare you hold my hand and pull me like this?" Sharon shouted. "Listen, I seriously don't have the time to listen to this crap. I want to talk to you." Swayam said.
"What does this guy actually want from me?" Sharon wondered.
Swayam: You must be wondering about what I actually want.
Sharon: How do you know this?
Swayam: Well actually I have something that you don't have- common sense! And now please don't say how dare you, okay?
Sharon: Fine, I will choose to ignore your comment. First you tell me why didn't you say anything to Kria and Rey?
Swayam" Oh God! You still haven't got it? My six year-old niece is smarter than you, you know!
Sharon: If you are done with taunting me, I want the answer.
Swayam: Sharon, don't you get it? I don't want Rey and Kria to be together!
Sharon (almost disappointedly): Because you love her?
Swayam: Hell no! I don't want them to be together because she is my best friend and I think Rey is not the right guy for her.
Sharon: Whoa! Rey is the right guy. Its just that Kria is the wrong girl!
Swayam: can we not argue about this? You want Rey, right? And you told me you can do anything to get Rey back, right?
Sharon: so what?
Swayam: So I am going to help you get Rey back.
Sharon: so you want to separate your best friend from her boyfriend? But why would you do that?
Swayam: Because he is immature, irresponsible and not at all the right guy for a girl like Kria.
Sharon: Hey Rey is not immature and irresponsible.
Swayam: You want Rey back, right?
Sharon: Yeah.
Swayam: Then shut up. I give you full guarantee that Rey will fall for you but in return you will have to follow everything I say.
Sharon: I don't believe a word you are saying. I am leaving.
As Sharon turned to leave, Swayam caught hold of her shoulders and pulled her towards him. Sharon could feel his breath on her face. She looked at his eyes- his brownie brown eyes. She immediately knew she could trust him. She wanted to trust him. There was something about his eyes. Perhaps he actually was the angel she had thought him to be last night. Irrespective of the fact that he was irritating and his behavior was almost obnoxious, he had been right about everything he had said last night. Swayam realized how close they were at the moment and let go of Sharon and turned his back to her. He said in a very soft tone, "Sorry. But you got to trust me on this." Sharon softly replied "I trust you Swayam."
Swayam turned around abruptly. He was surprised.
Swayam: You do?
Sharon (in a more convinced manner): Yes.
There was an awkward silence that had crept in. both of them didn't know what to say to the other. However, Swayam recovered before Sharon.
Swayam: Okay. So that was quite quick. I thought you will take some time on this.
By now even Sharon had recovered from the awkwardness. She looked at Swayam and again slipped back to her diva mode. She didn't want to come across as a vulnerable girl!
Sharon: Sharon Rai Prakash always knows what she wants and what she wants to do!
Swayam: Very well then. We will start executing her plan from tomorrow.
Sharon: Fine. Now let's go, the others might be looking for us.
Swayam: Okay, but wait, one more thing. You are not going to let anyone know about this, okay?
Sharon: Yeah obviously.
Swayam: Deal?
He put his hand forward. Sharon extended her hand and shook his hand.
Sharon (smilingly): Deal.
Just then the entire gang came in. they saw Sharon and Swayam holding hands.
Rey: What deal?
Kria: Yeah, what deal are you two talking about? Swayam tell na!
Sharon: Well, actually umm'it's just that'
Swayam: Well actually Sharon just made a deal with me. She is going to show me around all over the city. In return I am going to buy her a gift
Rey (looking surprised): Really Sharon? You really agreed to that?
Sharon: Yeah Swayam is right.
Neha (smiling ear-to-ear): That toh Neha is understanding, but Swayam please Sharon ka hand toh chodo!
Sharon and Swayam realized that they were still holding each other's hand and they immediately let go.
Nilesh: Ahem ahem!
Sharon: Let's go to class guys. I don't want to be late for class.
Swayam: I guess she is right. Let's go. I don't want to be late on the first day itself.
They all went to their class. Swayam and Kria's first day in college went really good. It almost felt as if they had known the gang for ever. Adding to that, almost all the girls in the college now had a crush on Swayam.
So this was my longest update ever! I hope you guys like it. And Happy New Year to all of you!! I really hope this year brings to us loads of happiness, renewed hop and beautiful dreams! Here is looking forward to a SwaRonilicious year ahead.😊
