I Love You Too Swayam!
En-route to college
"Swayam! Where are you???" Shouting at the top of her voice, the agitated Sharon glanced at her surroundings. Where could he be? Her little mind thought. He never, ever disappeared like that, and she knew it.
Making a mental note to bash him left and right once he's back, she headed to college, but not before checking the caf once more- for the last time.

St.Louis College- Corridors
"Kahan hoga Swayam! Uff oh!!" Slapping her forehead in mild annoyance, she went on to check the rehearsal hall for the umpteenth time- He's got to be here! She whispered to herself, tiptoeing inside the hall.
"Main hi theek se nahi dekh rahi hun.. he must be here only!" Convincing herself with what seemed more of a doubtful question, she strained her eyes to glance around the room.
Everything was just in place- the hall was filled with some unknown peace, some tranquillity. But, it wasn't of any use to this girl, boiling in anger- is it? No calls, no texts- this didn't go well with her. Her best-est friend, Swayam Shekhawat had not contacted her for ONE WHOLE DAY! Worse, he didn't even try.
Somehow, somewhere she had got used to his attention, his taunts, his care. She had got addicted to him. Where was he?

Near Marine Drive,
"Shit Yaar! Aur le Shortcut Swayam.. ab phas gaye naa!" His best pal, Rey taunted him- only adding to his already pissed off self.
"Why the hell did I take a shortcut? Aur ye tyre, damn it! Har koi mere aur Sharon ke beech mein aa raha hai.. Hadd hai!" Kicking the flat tyre with force, the young lad reverted his attention back to his not so happy friend, and all the credit goes to Swayam.
"Accha sun..aisa kar tu Kriya ko phone kar.. wo car arrange kar legi.." Swayam suggested, before Rey nodded and went to call her.
Once alone, his lips curved into a smile instinctively, remembering Sharon. Sharon This name, this girl had become his life now! Yes, his whole life revolves around Sharon, and only Sharon now. Yes, he loves her and he loves her a lot. Yes, he had planned to propose to her in the caf. But here he was, standing on a busy road, staring at the sea.
"Bro! Kho gaya tu Sharon ke khyaalon mein?" Rey teased, and a tint of red crept on Swayam's cheeks. After drinking in his bestie's expressions, Rey added- "By the way, Kriya ne kaha hai ki she would arrange a car for us.. it would be here anytime soon..."
***********
"Finally!" Sigh. Finally, after a long long drive, they were here- at St. Louis. Swayam didn't stop by the caf, he knew his Sharon too well. She would certainly not be there waiting for him at college hours.
Dashing through the corridors, he stopped to catch his breath. Phew! Once better, he sprinted to the rehearsal hall, knowing that his Sharon would be there only, her nose scrunching in anger, her big, expressive eyes demanding a proper reply. He could almost envision her perfectly! Grasping the door for support, he casted a quick peek inside. Sure enough, there she was, looking as beautiful as ever in her black tank top and dark blue mini skirt. A mischievous smirk gracing his lips, he tiptoed inside the hall, making sure that he wasn't calling her attention to him.
Quickly covering her eyes once he was behind her, the young lover positioned his lips just beside her ears, whispering in a tone so dangerously sensual. "I know I am late, sorry..." Sharon shivered, hearing his intense manner of speaking, his closeness, his warmth, his touch- all these factors were making her lose her senses. Her knees felt wobbly and weak, as if she would collapse then and there.
"Swayam.." She mouthed, her voice barely audible. But Swayam didn't need to hear her, he could make out what she was saying, with surprising ease. "You got it right, Sharon!" Swayam exclaimed, his tone intense. Her breathing hitched, she clutched her skirt for support. Her hands shivered as they reached out for his, resting on her eyes. The enticed lover got the hint and retreated his hands, turning her gently.
She lifted her eyes to cast him a quick peek, before recalling that she was angry. Pushing him back, she threw daggers at him before shouting, "You.. tumse toh mai baat hi nahi karungi! Khud caf mein bulaya aur aaye hi nahi!"
"Arre Arre Arre.. itna gussa.. I'm sorry yaar wo car ka tyre.."
"Haan haan tyre kharab ho gaya hoga naa..."
Wow! He gasped, did she really did an amazing guesswork or was it just a taunt? Either ways, he was surprised, if not stunned. His Sharon, angry, with him being here to pacify her. This was something interesting.
"So is my best friend angry?" He asked, making a puppy face.
"Yes! And am very very angry right now.. How dare you not get there? You know I was so worried.. inform nahi kar sakte the kya? Atleast ek call, ek message toh kar dete! All those weird thoughts were disturbing me! I was so worried for you!"
"You were worried for me???" as if subconsciously, he asked her, knowing what to expect from Sharon. From his Sharon.
"No! I wasn't worried for you.. agar kuch ho jaata.. toh phir problem to mere liye hi hoti naa!"
"Sharon.. I..I am..I am sorry"
"What sorry? Koi sorry worry nahi chalega.. you better stay away Swayam Shekhawat! I am hell angry with you!" Pushing him tightly, she continued to stare at him, her eyes were red with anger.
"Okay.." He started again, albeit on a calmer note. Raising his hands as if surrendering, he added- " I am going.. but agar main chala gaya, toh jo baat main karne aaya tha, wo kaise karunga? Lekin ab tum jaane ko keh hi rahi ho to.. am going.. bye bye!"
Wha...What! The startled bestie snapped out of angry mode, and that, with a surprisingly very fast speed. Running to him, she caught hold of his arm, preventing him to move any further.
"Matlab, I am angry aur tum mujhe manaaoge nahi?" She asked, her eyes showing that she was confused. "I tried naa.." He started, but was soon cut off by Sharon.
"No you didn't!" She countered what seemed to be a fake reply in her eyes.
"Yes I did!" Defensive, he replied back.
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"YES!" wow! So finally this adamant friend of his was tongue tied? This is awesome, this is way too awesome!
"You cheat!" She shouted once out of her trance- agreed he tricked her, but SHE, Sharon, how could SHE get tricked?
"When did I cheat? It was you who confessed' that maine try kiya.." He replied, as innocently as he could.
"Whatever! Tum yaha raho am going!" Her head held high, she walked towards the door. Suddenly, two arms out of nowhere grasped her wrist and pinned her against the wall, surprising, sorry shocking her.
" Sharon, I... I.." He hesitated, confessing your love to someone- how difficult can it be? His entire life was dependent on her mere Yes', on her mere nod, on few words- I Love You Too Swayam! If there was one thing he was sure of- then it was that he had seen love and genuine care in her eyes. That he could see a bit of hope there. A ray of hope that he could cling to. A ray of hope that Yes she loves her!
But what if it all is just friendship? Nah! Can't be. He could sense her love. He could feel it. But.. There were so many ifs and buts that this young man was going crazy!
Brushing all negative thoughts aside and praying for the best, he went on to say the most tantalizing words she would ever hear- "I Love You Sharon!"
She gasped. Was it all true? Was it really happening, or just another beautiful dream of hers? Had he really confessed to her? Or was her mind working overtime? Forgetting all this, she could only focus on the bottom line- he loves her. The love of her life, Swayam Shekhawat, loves her. For everyone, he was her true, best-est friend. But for her, he was her love, her life. He was the air that she took in. He was the reason of her existence. He was her love.
Wasting no time in ifs and buts, she reached out for him, embracing him as tightly as she could. Clinging to him, as if the world would break apart the next moment- that this was the last moment she was sharing with him.
"I Love You too Swayam!" Cuddling him with affection, she caressed his auburn hair, forgetting the entire world, forgetting everything. All she knew was- she was here, in his arms, confessing her love to him. And that was all she wanted to remember.
"Shar..." Gripping her slender waist tighter, he rested his head on her shoulder. He was, of course enjoying her touch, her warmth, her closeness, her love- he was cherishing it all.
But Sharon couldn't let him complete his words, could she? Interrupting him again, albeit in a voice filled with love and only love for him. "Shh! Chup raho buddhu.. I want to cherish this moment for our whole life ahead!"
