hope u update soon

Chapter 24

Sharon entered her bedroom and locked the door behind her not wanting swayam anywhere near her. Her heart was still beating wildly in her chest from their earlier encounter and she just couldn't shake the feeling to being lifted in air by him. Even though she just yelled that him that she would never dance and never ever with him there was a smile forming at the edge of her lips. Her eyes were moist but still she was feeling happy. It was such a beautiful feeling. The ache in her heart was replaced by feeling so beautiful that it could never be put into words. He had just given her a glimpse of all those feelings which she had tried so hard to burry deep within her. She gulped as she looked at her hands not able to shake the feel of his chest underneath them off. She knew he was trying and trying so damn hard and she also knew that he had broken the walls around her heart. All there was left to cross over the fence and knock on the door to her heart. She looked at her mirror and felt like crying due to happiness. She actually looked alive, her face didn't look pale anymore, and it was red with shades of pink thrown here and there. Her eyes though moist didn't reflect grief anymore, her lips which seemed to set in a permanent straight line were actually curved and all of this just because of one man. She held her hands close against her chest was this really happening? Could she really be happy and be with the man she wanted to be with? Was the nightmare going on for six and a half years had ended or was just fate once again giving her a taste of happiness so that she can feel what she had lost after its been taken away from her. She mentally slapped herself for getting so excited by almost dancing with swayam and quickly wiped that smile of off her face. Now the tears seemed right at their place but deep in her heart she couldn't change the fact that yes, there were traces of happiness, excitement and yearning to dance with him.

Sharon opened the door all composed and a scowl set on her face but her eyes searched for him everywhere. She greeted her dadi who was looking through a magazine and her old experienced eyes caught the change in her daughter. As Sharon sat down next to her she realized that her dadi was starring her. she waited a minute for her to look away but when her dadi didn't she said "what?" her dadi smiled at her and said "Do you realize the change in your voice?" she became confused and asked "what change?" her dadi smiled at her and replied "it sounds hopeful" her face reflected shock as she realized that yes she was hopeful, waiting for swayam to come and ask her to dance with her again so that she can feel him pull her against his body and the fluttering of her heart inside her chest. She didn't reply just looked away while her dadi grabbed her hand and said "Sharon…." her head shot up as she recognized the tone her dadi was using and mentally prayed that she was not going there. Her dadi whispered "something changed right" it was not a question it was a statement and Sharon couldn't reply damn it her dadi had to notice it? her dadi said squeezing her hand slightly "listen beta, I have seen what u have been through and I have also seen how much it hurt him too, I can also see that he is trying very, very hard and also that he is succeeding" sharon looked sideways and closed her eyes "this could not be happening" she thought all of the things she would never admit to herself, her dadi was lying them out in front of her as if finally solving a jigsaw puzzle. Her dadi continued "look at me my child" sharon slowly faced her again and her dadi said "I can never thank that boy for bringing back the shine in your eyes" she closed her eyes and snapped "he was the one who made it go in the first place!" her dadi replied "But he is also the one who brought it back…we r all humans Sharon and we all make mistakes and that poor boy didn't even do anything on purpose….we both know he was helpless or in other words he tried to save a life by sacrificing his love…..he hoped u would moved move on and find your happiness in someone or someplace else ,that's what any normal person would have hoped, there was no way of knowing what dreadful things fate had in stored for you" sharon stood up and turned her back towards her dadi who also stood up and placed a gentle yet firm hand on her shoulder "What would u have wanted him to do?" she turned around and looked at her dadi helplessly while her dadi continued "I know you would have never left kriya in that situation though things might or might not have been so hard on you if u knew the truth earlier" sharon couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they made their way down her face while her dadi said "He loves you unconditionally and you love him unconditionally….don't let him go away from you! If u want him so much in your life then why are you pushing him away now when you have him……Fate is a very cruel thing my child once it snatches anything it never gives it back, you are being given a second chance, not many people get that. Don't let it slip past you or things might really stay the way they had been for which seems like eternity" sharon stared at her dadi wide eyed as realization dawned on her. She feared history repeating itself, she feared if she went with him then history might repeat itself, but what she didn't realize was that only she was the one who was on the verge of making history repeat itself. If she went with him then she knew she would be happy. How many times had he endangered his life to save her? Does she even need any proof to know how much he loves her? But if she pushed him away then she will be the one left alone, can she ever love anyone else? No, she can't! will she be ever able to move on? No, she will only regret not making right choices at the right time. Everything will be the same, pain, agony, depression and hurt only this time she would be the one separating them. She will not even have someone else to blame for. Only she will be responsible!

Her dadi didn't say anything more Sharon's eyes told her that her work was done. Sharon slowly turned around and walked back inside to her room clearly lost. She just wanted some space, some alone time, she really needed to figure out what she wanted. She entered the room and stood against the door frame thinking about too many things at once and then a sound went inside her ears. She turned to see swayam's laptop turned on sitting on the bed and the sound was coming from it only it seemed too familiar. She went and sat in front of it on the bed and couldn't believe her eyes. It was like hallucinating. All those dance videos of them, of her throughout the college years were playing in a loop hole. A wave of nostalgia passed over her as those memories hit her one by one playing themselves in the back of her mind. She couldn't help herself and played them from the start, her first dance in the auditorium, she had no idea he still had all these videos then their famous dazzler vs. weaklings match. She could help and a sound which could pass for laughter escaped her lips. She watched very video twice and had no idea that tear were now flowing down her face which had a huge grin plastered over it. Something which hadn't happened in while. Then came their duet, her duet with swayam and watching herself twisting and twirling in his strong arms was an all together different experience and the desire in her heart to dance with him, more over to just dance again was so strong that she was surprised how she suppressed it for so long. She realized that she was the one who had shut the doors of happiness inside her heart. If she could just open them then she would realize that happiness was waiting at her door step. She had no idea for how long she had been watching them and how many times she had watched them but she knew one thing that she couldn't stop herself and would give her life away to dance again. After such a long time she had enjoyed so much and realized what she had been missing all these years. Dance was like breathing for her? How could she have stopped doing that, no wonder she felt so suffocated all the time!

She slowly raised her head and saw swayam leaning against the door frame with his hands crossed upon his chest and looking at her with so much love that she felt she would melt under his gaze. A soft smile was residing on his face and after a long time she smiled back at him, truly smiled at him that reached her eyes and they sparkled. His heart skipped a beat and his mind went blank 'did she just smiled at him?" She had no idea for how long he had been standing there and looking at her but she didn't care anymore. All she wanted to do was to drink in his divine features and run into his arms and cry till no moisture is left in her eyes to flow down her face anymore.

They kept starring like that for who knows how long until they were disturbed by her dadi who came to say that dinner is ready. She was shocked to know that she had spent all the day even skipped lunch to watch those videos. Now that she noticed she was very hungry and her back was very stiff. She slowly made her way to the door and stopped in front of swayam hoping he would get the cue and get out of her way but he just stood there starring at her and she felt heat rising to her face. She lowered her gaze and then peeked at him through under her lashes; he seemed to be amused by her behavior which made her blush more. She wanted to tell him to get out of her way and opened her mouth to say something but the words never came out and she closed it without saying anything and then remembered last night and for the first time realized she was just in a towel in front of him, in just a towel which was about to fall down any moment. More heat flooded to her face and she felt her face getting hotter. She dared a peek at him again he was still in the same posture and seemed to be confused.

She lowered her gaze again and this time remembered what happened in the morning, how he held her against his muscular frame. She could now feel heat radiating of off her face "Great, when did she became this shy in front of him?" she quickly tried to go past him but her chest brushed against his and she went stiff feeling getting even more hotter in a face while he seemed to be enjoying himself and before she could run away from him again he held her in place by placing his hands around her waist and pulled her closer until her body was flush against his. Then he pressed his lips against her forehead and let them linger there for a few extra seconds then just as quickly he pulled back and she was creating some space between them. Finally when she was out of sight he chuckled and wondered why she was as red as a tomato when he hadn't even done anything yet. Guess she was acting crazy or finally he had lost it.

*********************^*******************************^****************^

It was almost midnight and sharon was sitting outside in the garden on a swing remembering about today's events. Life was one weird thing. No one could guess it's dirty ways and plan ahead. She sighed as she remembered her dadi's words and her realization after that. She knew she was on the verge of breaking down and she also knew he would catch her before the fall if she broke down this time. There were just too many questions running in her mind one of them being "should she lower her guard? Should she allow him to come back in her life?" she knew she wanted to but life has taught her to do better then follow her desires. She sighed as she leaned against the back of the swing and closed her eyes. All she could think of was swayam. She opened her eyes frustrated and once again sighed. Her life was so complicated once she had thought that nothing could be more complicated then college politics but now she realized she was wrong. She knew she wanted to be with him, that's the only thing she has ever wanted then now why was she pushing him away? Yes, she was scared her past would come haunting her but for how long would she continue to live in the fear of her past? When did she become such a weakling? She chuckled at her choice of words. Why was she not accepting his love?

Just then swayam also came in the garden wearing his trousers and a T-shirt ready to go to bed and probably came finding her. He looked so beautiful with that messy hair and sleepy expression that she had to press her lips in a tight line to stop from smiling lovingly at him. He came and stood in front of her and when he whispered her name in his velvet like voice her stomach turned into liquid "Siren…." She looked at him dazzled without blinking and then he extended his hand forward and whispered once again in his velvety voice "dance with me angel" in that one moment she knew why was she was not accepting his love because she was stupid, ignorant too pessimist to accept what was right in front of her. She would not live in her own gloomy world again, she will do what her heart wants her to do and will struggle for her happiness. This time she would not let her happiness, her swayam slip pass her fingers because she knew as long as she was with him she could face anything. She gave her hand in his and saw his features turn into shock then confusion and then finally love. He squeezed her hand tightly and pulled her towards him. Once she was on her feet, they started dancing together, their feet moving in synch with each other and a feeling so blissful and beautiful that could only be felt in heaven filled their souls. They were in their heaven.

*******************^*********************^**************************^

She woke up suddenly just as the dream ended and realized there was moisture running down her face. It was such a beautiful dream and she didn't even herself could tell how badly she wanted to be real. She looked sideways and found swayam sleeping and her eyes grew moist. She ran a hand through his hair and smiled. The dream was like a clear picture of reality, what she had been thinking in it was the exact thing she had been thinking all day but never admitted to herself but in the dream she was courageous and ready to take whatever life throws her way once again because she knew he would be by her side. She couldn't take her eyes away from his face and a thought ran across her mind "how many people are there in your life who are actually willing to give up their life for you?" her mind rolled back to the day he saved her from Rohan, then in the library how he took the fall for her and then in the woods he had locked her up in the car and then told her to run without looking back. Her heart swelled up with so many emotions that she thought it was going to burst. Then she thought how many people are there for whom you are willing to give up your life? Just one. She looked sideways and a chill ran down her spine as she remembered what she had felt upon seeing a gun pointed at him in the woods. She would rather die than face that kind of fear again. She looked once again at him and didn't need to think twice. She was not a confused soul once she made a decision she stood by it and in that moment she realized he was right there and this time not going anywhere. She just had to extend her hand forwards and grab him tightly.

She stood up and ran upstairs to the roof and almost tripped over her own feet in the process. She opened the door of the roof and cold night air hit her making her all the more eager. She didn't even waited to catch her breath and went forward, her bare feet felt so great against the cold marble flooring of the roof. She opened her arms wide and grinned then waited for a second as the wind flirted with her hair. Then finally she moved her feet not even needing any music to pump her up, the adrenaline kicked in knocking her breath short and she couldn't believe that she was feeling….this blissful again. Dancing was like an ointment to her six year old wounds and she felt herself healing at the places the deepest wounds were present. She danced and danced, twirling and twisting her body in a manner as graceful as a swan, her turns so clear and vivid with grace intact and passion for dancing oozing out of her. If she believed that swayam looked heavenly when he danced then she hadn't seen herself dancing through his eyes.

He stood in the doorway with his heart thumping loudly against his chest and let his eyes drink in the beauty happening in front of him. She looked so beautiful that he didn't even realize that he had been holding his breath. He could not believe his eyes, this was the real Sharon, a girl so inhumanly beautiful that she could pass for an angel. How could one not fall for her after seeing her dance like that? He had also fallen for her after seeing her dance to herself alone on the college roof and just be the real Sharon and that was the moment he knew he had lost his heart to the dancing angel in front of her.

The muscles in her legs and arms burned but she ignored the pain. She didn't want to stop; she would never want to stop the feeling running through her body right now. She just danced after such a long time, finally the waves had found the shore. The pain in her muscles increased and she still ignored it but her body gave away and she fell down her hair falling over her face and she breathed labored breaths, not being able to believe that what just happened was real. Cold finger tips slightly brushed against her face and as she looked upwards she saw swayam removing her hair from her face giving both of them a clear view of the other. Her heart rate which accelerated due to dancing just seemed to calm down but then it accelerated again when he helped her stand all the time never breaking eye contact with her.

Her eyes never felt his face and she slowly raised her hand to cup his face. He sucked in a sharp breath as his heart seemed to stop beating. Her fingers trailed down his face lingering more than necessary over his lips. Then she grabbed his collar by both of her hands and brought his face down and tilted her face upwards their breaths danced on each other's lips and hearts danced in joy but before he could make a move she turned around and smashed her back against his chest making him take a step back and then slowly she went down on her knees making him close his eyes and clench his hands in fists to stop from doing something which might be too much for the moment. But then she was back on her legs standing straight in front of him and grabbed both of his hands tightly in hers and whispered "Dance with me……" He couldn't believe his ears and knew this was it.

His hand snaked around her slender waist and he pulled her closer before their bodies swayed to the music of entwining of their hearts. The world seemed to have vanished in a puff of smoke for them, ell they could see, all they could feel was each other. They danced and danced, their feet moving together, theirs hands entwined, their bodies brushed against each other, but they showed no signs of stopping. This has been held back for a long time and now even they couldn't stop their feet from moving. Every time he lifted her and threw her upwards, she came back to him and every time his arms caught her never letting her fall. Every time she took even three steps away from him he pulled her back against his body locking her in steel grip never letting her go away from her. Their souls had finally found solace. The burning thirst inside them was slowly quenching. Her legs gave away not being able to stand anymore but he caught and supported all of her weight in standing straight. She smiled so lovingly at him as her ragged breaths came out and her hair stick to her face due to sweat.

When finally her legs found their strength back he let go of her only to cup her face and remove the hair once again tonight from her face. While she placed her hands on his hands and locked gaze with her. The moonlight fell on them like a spot light separating them from the world as they drowned in the pool of love present in each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity and then she whispered "I love you….." His eyes widened a little in shock and then outlined with immense love for her. His hands formed a vice like grip around her arms and he pulled her closer aggressively resting his forehead against hers and then whispered closing his eyes as a lone tear ran down his face "You sure took a long time siren…" She tilted her head back and raised his face by placing a hand under his chin and said wiping away that lone tear with the back of her other hand and said "I love you so much…" he opened his eyes and said "You have no idea how much I love you" before she could protest that she loves him more he crashed his lips upon hers. She responded back instantly and at first their lips moved softly against each other savoring the moment then the hunger took over and he asked for her permission which she granted by giving him entrance in her mouth. His tongue explored the hidden corners of her mouth while her hands went in his hair and after grabbing handful of them she pulled him even more closer. His one hand cupped the back of her neck and the other one remained locked around her waist holding her straight as her knees had long given away. She inched more towards him making his back tilt a little and him take a few steps back. He was right to save their first kiss for a special memory and nothing could have been more special than this. He promised to make their first kiss special and he surely kept it. They stopped when their lungs burned for oxygen and she rested her forehead against the place his heart was supposed to be beating and she could sure as hell make out its accelerated beating. While his arms held her firmly against him in a tight embrace.

Suddenly Sharon raised her head and saw dadi standing in the doorway teary eyed. She turned red and took a step back from making him also notice her dadi's presence. Her dadi came beaming with happiness and it looked like she would start jumping up and down with happiness. She clasped her hands together and squealed "I am so happy for you two" they smiled at her in return while swayam replied "It would not have been possible without you" Sharon starred at him suspiciously and asked "what do you mean?" swayam gulped and resisted the urge to kiss her swollen lips again while saying "uhhh…nothing" she turned towards her dadi who was grinning like an idiot and asked "what does he mean dadi?...tell me!" her dadi replied in an amused tone "nothing much…I just faked my illness so you could get married and a few other things" Sharon starred at her dadi with her jaw hitting the floor and then yelled "SWAYAM SHEKHAWAT!"He jumped a feet back and held up his hands in surrender while she turned her death glare towards him and yelled "I was so worried about dadi!" he replied still moving backwards "It was not my idea siren…trust me plz" Sharon was taking slow and small steps towards him like an experienced predator and said in a bone chilling voice "I don't believe u dear husband!" then she lunged forward towards him saying "I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" while the poor lad ran for his life with his wife chasing him in the entire house and the elderly figure still on the roof was ecstatic to see that finally things were back to the way they used to be.

To be continued…..

Reserve.

I will definitely edit this tomorrow. Piromees!

E d i t .

I didn't realize this was ending when I said this yesterday. 😳

It's weird to hear Sharon not dancing actually. Sort of doesn't fit.

Anyway, while Swayam was thinking of how to get Sharon out of the mess she herself has created around her his approach seemed slow and cautious to me. Yeh toh baadmein jake pata chala ki bande ne to ek hi din mein baazi mar li. Ishmart bwoy. 😆

That little conversation about why she left dancing was penned rather effectively. There was continuity to it and whatever followed later. (<- you know I don't elaborate on those parts. Tum ne likha haiu toh acha hi hoga, just know that. 😳)

I liked the memory that you've added to the second last chapter. Typically like Swayam to do something like that. The boy would come back from another galaxy(if her were to go there in the first place, of course) if she asked him to. 😛

Oh and by the way, was that really you updating 3 chapters back to back? 😲

Your last update (I hate you for making me say that :P) was really good.
Dadi toh poori ki poori chupi rust nikli. pehle toh shaadi karvaya, ab aise behki behki baatein karke woh bhi karva liya. 😆

Sharon skipped lunch for the dance videos?
Mere se toh nahi hota. Main toh poori bhukad hun. 😆

Oh and by the way, there's this place in your last update that I had a quite the hearty laugh at. When Sharon suddenly had an awakening that she was in a towel. Not because she was standing before Swayam, balki yeh soch ke ki dadi-poti ke beech jo serious conversation hua tha woh bhi sab towel mein hi tha. 🤣
Yes yes, main aage peeche sab ka sochti hun. :D

There, I've given you the comment now stop cribbing. Update the epilogue and take that "on hold" sign off Hostage.
I'll miss this FF though. It'd been one of my favourites on SwaRon. I've told you time and again that the way you portray the emotions of Sharon and Swayam, no one else does. (zyada udna mat :P).

Thanks for all the PMs and for writing this wonderful story.
