Part 11
Swayam came out of the hotel expecting that sharon had already left... he quickly ran to his car when he found Sharon standing there leaning on the car looking at her watch wearing her usual t shirt jeans and cardigan...
"tum??? Yaha??? Array tumne ticket dekhe nahi??? Maine mail kiya tumhe... 6 AM tha...tumhe PM laga hoga???? Flight to miss ho gayi..." Swayam was confused...
"mai kyun jaun???? Sorry aap ko flight book karni pari... I'll pay for it... I am sure us company ki chairman aaj ayega meeting k liye...aap k liye jitna important hai utna hi important unlogon ke liye bhi hai...kal ke uss idiot ki harkat ka jawab dena hai mujhe..." Sharon retorted and swayam gave a hopeless smile...
"sit..." He opened the driver seat door and Sharon opened the passenger seat door... by now she knew swayam will never open the door for her...
They reached the office where swayam narrated the incident to the company's chairman and he promised to fire that piece of scum out... He apologized to Sharon and then Sharon and swayam proceeded with the presentation... AND they sealed the deal...
"congrats mr. shekhawat... The contract is all yours..." The chairman shook hands with him while swayam had a huge grin on his face and Sharon smiled seeing him smile...
"congrats...miss rai prakash... U did a great job as the designer..." He shook hands with Sharon as well as Sharon thanked him...
"mr. shekhawat there's a party in blue moon inn tonight as a mark to celebrate our new partnership... you both have to come there..."
"of course we would..." Swayam smiled at him...
Swayama nd Sharon came out of the office ... he was beyond happy today... the biggest contract of india was now his...
Sharon looked at him smiling like a kid and smiled... Both of them sat in the car ... swayam stopped in front of a shopping mall...
"hum yaha kyun aye???" Sharon asked...
"deal ke liye aye hai... I am sure party ke liye kuch hai nahi tumhare paas... To tum kya ye t shirt jeans pehen k jaoge waha????" swayam taunted...
"to aap k paas kuch hai???? Bare aye bolne wale..." Sharon retorted...
"accha thik hai...fine... nahi hai... ab chalo..." Swayam and Sharon walked into a shop...
Sharon went through the dresses but didn't like one...after some time she selected a black anarkali with a most intricate soft yet sophisticated design... Swayam didn't take much time and picked up a clack suit and white shirt but patiently waited for Sharon to select her's...
After she was done both moved to the counter to pay the bill...
"dekhiye sir... I am paying for myself..." Sharon said as she found the cashier had made one bill...
"keep quiet..." swaya, took his wallet out...
"sir , either I am paying for this varna pay ise wapis rakh dungi..." Sharon gritted his teeth...
Swayam got upset... "fine..." He looked at the cashier and said... " is larki ki bill meri bill mein kyun hai??? I don't know her..." and the cashier got super confused...
Sharon smiled at his kiddish complain... "thoda pagal hai..."
They returned to the hotel...
"mai so ne jar aha hoon... sham ko milte hai..." Swayam said ...Sharon nodded and headed towards her room...
***********************************
It was almost 8:30 when Sharon finally looked at herself in the mirror...she was wearing the the black anarkali and had pulled her hair in a neat French roll leaving some flicks falling on her cheeks... She had wore an earing and just a stroke of kajal and was satisfied...
She called swayam and he picked up her call... "bolo..."
"mai ready hoon..." She said...
"par mai nahi hoon..." Swayam retorted and Sharon was taken aback...
Sharon locked her room and knocked swayam's room...
"kaun hai??? Agar tie badhna ati hai to andar aao varna nahi..." she heard swayam reply... she bit her teeth to stop laughing... She slowly came inside... swayam looked at the mirror and saw Sharon standing at the door... his breathe hitched as he saw her standing there looking ethereal
He looked at her without blinking and then turned to look at her... from her toes , he scanned he till her eyes and found her lowering her gaze and a shade of red crept to her cheek bones... He had seen her blush for the first time...
Then she looked at him and aksed... " sir... kya hua??? Mai weird lag rahi hoon right??? Pata tha...actually mujhe adaat nahi hai na isiliye...i am not used to such parties and dressing up like this..." she said checking herself in the mirror once again...
"maine aise nahi bola...tum bohut..." he stopped and continued... " I mean...thik lag rahi ho..." he turned around and sharon blushed again... She had known him a bit now to understand what he means...
"sir koi problem..." She asked...
"haa wo I don't know how to fix a tie... wo ghar pe either mom ya chachi does it... to ...leave it..." he said a bit embarrassed...
"sir without tie jayenge to ajeeb lagega..." She moved forward to him...
"ye kya kar..." he couldn't complete before he found Sharon take the tie off from his neck... she then moved away and tied the tie loosely around her neck... She then made the knot and gave it to swayam... Swayam was surprised by this gesture... He fixed it round his neck...
"kyun??aap ko kya laga??" she asked reading his thoughts...
"kuch nahi...lets go..." he said looking away... Sharon came forward and fixed his collar which was rolled up and swayam flushed...
*******************************
As they entered the venue the client welcomed them... Swayam got busy talking to the deligates... and Sharon stood at one corner...
After some time swayam looked around to find Sharon standing in one corner and a guy advancing towards her... he knew that he could no chance in matter of Sharon after what happened last night... Even though he knew the guy who was going towards her... he went towards them...
As the guy asked Sharon for a dance swayam came and said... "array hi dude... teri wife tujhe dhund rahi hai..." the guy smiled at him and went away...
Swayam turned towards Sharon... "sorry..wo mai hamesha akele ata hoon an parties mein...isiliye I forgot kit um bhi ho yaha..."
"it okay sir..."
Their client came and requested them for a dance coz it was a party for their success... Swayam and Sharon couldn't say no to him...
Swayam asked for sharon's hand and went to the dance floor... As they stood in the centre stage swayam held sharon's hand and made her keep her hands on his shoulder... as he kept his hand on her back his waych got struck to the hem and a part of the anarkali tore...
Both swayam and Sharon froze right there... swayam's mouth went dry and Sharon immediately looked around to see if any one noticed that or not...fortunately for them the lights were dimmed for the dance so no one noticed them amongst the other couples dancing there...
Sharon immediately opened her hair which covered a part of her back...
"I am sorry... maine intentionally..." Swayam tried to reason but Sharon stopped him...
"pls sir... I know...we can't leave the dance floor... varna sab ko lagega kuch problem hai..." Sharon took his hands and kept it on her back to cover the part which was not covered by the hair...
"sir please...mere liye..haath mat hatana..." Sharon literally pleaded... swayam knew it was his fault and so nodded... Sharon could feel his hands go cold against her back... she looked at him and smiled assuring him that she was comfortable...
They started swaying to the tune of jaadu hai nasha' filling the hall as another level of intoxication took over them...
Swayam pulled her closer to him to make sure his hand was covering her back properly ... they stood close to each other breathing the same air softly swaying to the music in each other's arms... not even for a second they left each others eyes as their interlocked gaze took them to another world...
As the song finshed they went down from the floor... throughout the party swayam stayed wth Sharon holding her back... after biding bye to the clients they left the venue...
As soon as they were out of sight in the secluded parking swayam removed his coat and handed it to her... Sharon took that and wore it...
They drove back to hotel and swayam accompanied her till her room...
She went inside and stood at the door ... Before she could speak swayam said...
"I am really sorry Sharon... maine intentionally nahi kiya tha.. I swear..." he explained...
"I know sir... aap ko explaination dene ki zarurath nahi hai... In fact help bhi ap hi ne kiya... so pls sorry mat boliye... and yeah thanks..." And then she was about to remove the coat to hand It back to him...
"rehene do... keep it now..." Swayam didn't want Sharon to feel awkward by removing it...
Sharon smiled at him as he smiled back...
"goodnight..." he said and left as Sharon closed the door...
