Why was he looking at her? He was supposed to move on right? He was now a changed man. He killed the lover boy inside him long back. He stopped loving.. No! He just couldn't do that. The very thought of not loving her killed him.
"Swayam! How are we gonna do this?" Both Swayam and Sharon were disturbed with this question. Sharon found it hard to dance with Vicky. He was her friend and a couple dance with him? It was always Swayam with whom she loved to dance. She couldn't even imagine dancing so close with any other person be it even her best friend. But she was now in a phase where she "acted" as if she doesn't care, masking her feelings, hiding her love and being the bitchy her. She just stepped on to Vicky's shoes without blinking her eyes which were constantly focused on Swayam and Ruhi.
If dance was his love, Sharon was his passion! He chose dance coz of her. Sharon was his inspiration, his strength, his weakness. It all started with a dream.. A dream to ask her for a dance, a dream to dance with her, a dream to make her his. Now, all that remains is just shattered pieces of hopes n despair.He could feel how she was feeling coz he felt the same.
If dancing with Vicky was a challenge for her, standing close to Ruhi was close to impossible to him. But then even he had to prove it to Sharon that she was living in a delusion that she loved him but actually she didn't.
"Gosh! Why can't it be real?" would be the question he asked himself a million times but he always ended up with the same answer with the supported memories of their break up that haunted him every second!
The music started and all the couples started dancing. As there was no place to do a proper dance, the couples just held on to each other and swayed to the music. While everyone were enjoying the light music, it wasn't the same for Swayam and Sharon. Seeing their loved one dancing with someone else irked them. Both hated the fact that they are dancing with someone else but both tried to not let that show. And while doing this act of pretending they failed miserably coz they just couldn't steal a glance from one another.
Sharon was pushing Vicky away while Swayam was moving back to keep a distance between himself and Ruhi. It was now getting too much for him.
Ruhi slightly bent, resting her head on Swayam's chest. This shocked him and the first thing he did was to look for Sharon. He saw her noticing all this. There was anger, spite and hurt in her eyes. She couldn't fall weak! No she couldn't! She shouldn't! She repeated this to herself and tried to concentrate on the dance.
She just couldn't concentrate and stepped down. She excused herself and left the dance floor. Seeing her step down Swayam immediately let go of Ruhi. He gave a random reason and left the place to search for Sharon. He didn't know why but he just felt he had to give her an explanation..
He didn't have to go far to search for her. She was standing there in the rehearsal hall staring at herself in the mirror. She wasn't crying, there wasn't any expression on her face. She just stood there blank staring into the mirror, thinking of something deep.
"Sharon?" he called out to her. There was no reaction so he called her again, "Sharon?" this time a bit louder.. She jerked and suddenly turned around to see him. She didn't react and just said "Are all the arrangements perfect?"
"Any problem?" she asked him getting no response for the first question. She knew he has come to clarify things but she stood calm n composed.
"Sharon are you alright?" he softly asked. "Do I look alright to you you fool?!" she wanted to shout out and hold his collar demanding answers to the billion questions she had in her mind. "How does it matter to you?" she said and turned away.
"It matters. I need to know if you're alright" he said walking towards her. "Why you faking it Swayam?" she asked moving away from him. "Faking what?" he looked at her unexpectedly. "This concern, care, lov.." she paused and continued "whatever it is. You have moved on right! Enjoy your rose day Mr. Shekhawat" she said and started moving out of the rehearsal hall when she was stopped by him. He held her hand tight not allowing her to go.
"Sharon please. Let me explain" he said in a pleading tone. Sharon was too hurt to pay heed to any of his words. "You don't have to! You need to give an explanation when you want to sustain a relationship. What relation do you n I share Swayam? Friends? Lovers?" she asked looking into his eyes not allowing a tear drop to fall.
What was the relation? Why did he want to explain himself to her? He chose to stay away right? Then why was he getting pulled towards her? Why was it that every action of hers affected him? He didn't have an answer to her question and kept quiet. "You know what Swayam? Just like you believe that I think I love you, the same way you think you can move on. You live in a delusion thinking both of us will be happy without each other. When such a small thing made you come behind me with an explanation how can both of us not staying together not affect you?"
She paused expecting a reply but he was not uttering a word. She continued "Okay let's not go to that now coz we've had enough discussions and fights on it. I'm tired of making you believe that I lov.." her voice cracked yet she continued "I'm really sorry to bother you again Swayam but.. Just one.. A last question.. One last question for which I need an answer"
"Did you ever feel I loved you? At least for one second did you feel it was true?" she asked looking into his eyes. She knew even if his words spoke wrong his eyes wouldn't lie..
This question brought back memories of their relationship. The phase where she was always with him, stood by him, supported him, fulfilled his wishes, confessed to his dad, their dates, their promises..
Was all that a dream? No it wasn't! It was his dream that transformed into reality. He fought against destiny to make her love him. Of course she loved him! If she wouldn't have loved him, she wouldn't have done all this for him. Just one mistake of hers blinded him. Couldn't he forgive her for that? Was her love so weak that it needed to be proved to him time and again?
"Sharon.." he said moving towards her while trying to figure out how to put this forth. "Sharon.. I'm sorry" is all what he could say. She looked at him. Indeed he was sorry but she didn't feel like forgiving him. She was treated very badly, humiliated by him and every second day was questioned about her true love for him. She controlled her emotions and said "Go on. I'm listening"
"I know I've hurt you many times. My rude behavior towards you wasn't meant to be. I wouldn't even dream of hurting you ever Sharon. Trust me I did this only coz I wanted you to be happy." he said bending his head. "Yea I'm happy now. Right?" she questioned him. His apology wasn't mending things but infuriating her more.
"I was stupid. Stupid enough to think that you don't love me. I doubted you, kept you far away from me, ignored you. In all this I've died a hundred deaths."
"I said I'll move on, find someone else.. But I can never stop loving you Sharon. Never.. Never ever.. I love you Sharon!" he said as a lone tear escaped his eyes and made its way down through his cheek.
Sharon wanted to hug him tight and kiss him saying she loved him like crazy! If not equal she loved him more than he could imagine. But her ego was stopping her. He literally disowned her and this apology wasn't gonna fill the gap he created.
She turned the other side fearing she would fall weak in front of him. He went near her, took her hand and held it tight with both his hands. He placed it near his heart. She could feel his heart beat. "Can you hear this?" he slightly moved forward lessening the gap between them.
"My every heart beat has your name on it. My every breath, every wish.." he said as she closed her eyes to live the moment. He moved closer..
He went closer to her and slightly traced his fingers on her face giving her Goosebumps as he gently tucked her hair behind her ears. He whispered softly in her ears "I'm sorry.. I always loved you, I always will.. I love you" and moved back to his place waiting for her reaction. This was what she wanted to hear since so long! Finally she got her love back! After all this struggle and repentance she finally heard him say what she yearned to listen.
She opened her eyes and saw him smiling with tears in his eyes. She removed her hands from his and held his collar. With tears falling down her face, in a low yet stern voice she said "You have no other option! Get it?" and hit on his chest continuously sobbing and saying "I hate you! I hate you.. I hate you Swayam.. I.." "Ssshhh.. Sharon" he said holding her hand stopping her and immediately pulled her into a tight hug.
She sobbed yet smiled and hugged him back. It felt like she was back to where she belonged. He was feeling complete after so long. Swayam and Sharon were finally together! They broke apart and Swayam cupped her face. "I missed you Sharon" he said and hugged her again. "I didn't miss you Swayam" she said as they hugged. Swayam made a puppy face and asked her "You didn't?" to which she nodded in a yes.
"You were hanging out with your chuhi muhi all this while right? She might be missing you but not me!" she said and folding her hands turned back. Swayam found this act if hers pretty cute and hugged her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder. "Ohh so Miss SRP is jealous.." and patted his head with hers playfully.
"I'm not jealous! I wasn't.." she fumbled. Swayam came forward and gave the warm smile that never fails to melt her. "Come with me" he said and pulled her. "Swayam! Wait! Where are we going? Swayam?!" she shouted though she loved being dragged possessively by him.
It was already late and everyone left college after the Rose day celebrations. They reached the atrium and Swayam left Sharon there asking her to wait. She waited impatiently when suddenly the spot light focused on her. She looked up to find him and before she could utter his name rose petals were showered on her. She was surprised and loved the way she was being treated. Just like a princess by her prince!
After showering a basket full of flowers Swayam walked down the stairs looking only at her. She smiled and looked lovingly at him. "Swayam what's all this?" she asked trying to hide her blush. He didn't utter a word and put forth his hand as the subtle music started playing behind. "Our last dance on Rose day in college" he said as she agreed by placing her hand on his. Their special song pehla nasha started playing in the background as they swayed to the music. They were lost into each other only to realize that the music stopped. Sharon had her back resting on Swayam as both of them closed their eyes to feel the moment. The moment of togetherness..
Sharon turned to look at him. "Swayam I.. " Sharon was gonna say something but Swayam put his finger on her lips and said "The party is still on!" he said and took out the blindfold. He tied it around her eyes and put something in her hand. "Swayam really?!" she said excited. This was the game they played tonight, though not together. "Now I'll tell you where to aim and you have to hit at the right place my love" he said. Sharon followed his instructions and to her surprise all the 3 times she hit the bulls eye!
"Yayyy!!" she shouted as she jumped and hugged Swayam. "We won! We won!!" she shouted in joy. Swayam couldn't help but admire the innocence and the cuteness she portrayed.
"Next the ball game na?!" she asked excited just like a 5 year old who gets excited for chocolates. "No it's the paper dance!" he said as he took her to the place where the big sheet of paper was kept. "A small change in this game. We will dance directly on the paper folded twice."
"But why" asked a confused Sharon. He came closer to her and whispered "Coz we've been far away for too long now"
Swayam stood on the piece of paper as Sharon removed her heels and placed her feet on Swayam's. He wrapped his arms around her waist holding her tight as she put her arms around him. "Wait!" she said. "Take off tour jacket first!" she ordered much to the surprise of Swayam. "What? Sharon not now" he said with a wicked smile as Sharon hit him hard on his shoulder. "Ouch! Okay okay I'll take it off but tell me why?" he asked while removing the jacket. Sharon took that jacket and threw it away. "That chuhi muhi rested on that! Now let's begin"
They dance on that paper for a while as Swayam stops and folds it again. He stands on his toes and lifts Sharon in his arms. Sharon rests her head on his chest and closes her eyes as he keeps admiring her. He slightly bends and places a kiss on her head. Both smile and stay in that position for a while.
"Now the last one! Your favorite Sharon" smirked Swayam. "Swayam in sorry" she said as she bent her head down. "I was upset at seeing you and Ruhi winning so I.."
"Sharon nothing about the past now. Let's focus on the present and build our future" he said as he pulled her close and placed the ball between their foreheads. They started walking towards the finish line with negligible effort. All they had to do was look into each others eyes. As they neared the finishing line Swayam purposefully let the ball slip between their faces and he closed the gap by locking his lips with hers. They kissed with soft passion and endless love that was imprisoned and now broke free all the barriers. "I love you Swayam. I love you"
"I will always love you Sharon"...
