She sat there, on the ground, She was now sure that this was the time make things alright, to make some amends, to get her love back into her life and to apologize, as profusely as She could for all that She had put him through.
It was raining, raining so heavily that it was hard to see anything clearly. She had been wrong, so wrong. Swayam had in fact never been the reason for the tragedies, at least not in the way she thought he had.
"Swayam!" she screamed in desolation and cried, cried in pain, cried in love, cried in hope, cried for Swayam, cried for her past and for her future. She cried so that the God would hear her and make things alright.
She was walking like a zombie, like a human without life, like a man without soul, like a lover without her love. Was she getting the punishment of insulting Swayam's love? Or of not accepting the truth which everyone knew. Or it was all because behaving so weird with him? Was it because he cried for her so much? He had always loved her. But she never accepted it forever. Break-up had been casual in their relationship and the reason was she herself always.
She sat on a bench. What does destiny exactly wants from her? When he needed her, she denied. And today when she needs him, it's all over! Is it really over? Is it for memories only? Was she going to live her life all alone? Does she really deserve this?
There were many questions. And the answers were to be given by only one person-Swayam. But where is he? Swayam - the lover boy never breaks a promise, then why today? Or the lover boy himself was a dream? Dream, No! This can't be true! She can't live a dream so long! But where have the lover boy gone?
"Enough! Sharon! You're thinking too much!" she said to herself. "He will come. He can't do this to me." She said in a dim voice. "You can't do this to me!" screamed she. She cried loudly, Shouting, screaming as loud as she can. All of a sudden, she felt something on her shoulder. She looked up. He was none other than the love of her life, truth of her life, meaning of her life. Swayam!
She didn't waste a second to jump on his arms. It was the time she felt like she is back to life. She got her breath back. She wanted to stay like that only; she wanted to be like that forever!
He closed his eyes and held her tightly. He smiled trying to hide his tears between the rain drops. He only knows how have he lived without touching her for so long! He wished the time to stop there forever!
"Sharon I..."
"shhh..!" she tightened the hug.
"Don't say anything. Let me clear my thirst!"
He felt to cry more. He tightened the hug.
"Mujhe dekhe bina, tum kaise reh paaye swayam?"
"Main tumhe dekhta tha Sharon, har festival, har anniversary me. Whether its holi or diwali, our first date anniversary or last breakup, I have always had a glimpse of you. Outside your house or, office."
She broke the hug.
" you broke your promise?"
" I never break my promise. We decided k hum 1 saal nahi milenge. Na dekhne ki toh koi baat hi nahi hui thi!"
Sharon smiled in happiness and hugged him.
"tum nahi aate toh pata nahi main kya karti!"
Swayam hugged back.
" main tumhe kuch karne hi nahi deta. Main chupkar tumhe dekh raha tha."
She breaking the hug,
" what do you mean?"
" Sharon main tumse pehle yahan aa gaya tha. Aur main..
" aur tum mere love ka test le rah the!"
"Sharon I..."
"u what? It night now damn it! Main morning se tumhara wait kar rahi hu. Crying, screaming and don't know what more in the rain! And u.. u just don't care!"
"Of course I care damn it! Issillliye tumhara pain dekhkar nahi rok paya khudko. I have also waited for a long year. I have also cried, I was also in pain. Just because I care! Can you hear that Sharon? I care coz I love you!"
They became silent for a while.
"Whatever!"
She leaved.
"Oh! Not again!"
Swayam followed in disgust.
Sharon entered her room and sat on bed in anger. Swayam entered.
"how dare you follow me?"
"At least listen to me..."
"just go swayam, just go away..."
She pushed him far but he held her arm.
Swayam pinned Sharon against the wall. They kissed after a long time.. They breathe hard on each other's phase. They forgot what had happened in the past. One kiss was enough to break the notes of misunderstanding...!
Sharon-Swayam... main...
Swayam shuts her up by keeping his index finger on her lips.
Swayam- tum aur kuch nahi kahogi..
His voice firm.. His eyes deeply drowned in hers.. Her heart pounding as fast as it could. He breathed into her...
Swayam tighten his grip. He pushed her hard against the wall.. Moved so close that he could almost hear her heart beat!!! It was music to his ears. He took his lips near her ears. He nibbled the lobe of her right ear. He smelled her perfume. The fragrance was the same. Sharon tried really hard to free her hands, but couldn't do it. She felt a rush of feeling! It was hard for her to control her thirst! She swallowed a lump of emotions. Swayam moved his face across hers. Reaching at her neck, which was bare, he starred at it as Sharon took over. She then moved her lips towards Swayam's. Swayam forgot about the neck as he saw those same two lips & remembered there first kiss... He reached out for the kiss. His hands still pushing hers against the wall. Their heads tilted in opposite direction, helped their lips to finally meet.. ! Their lips moved in sync. Swayam's lips went up & Sharon's went down... The kissed for a minute.. When Swayam broke the kiss to catch some air. They breathed hard.Sharon pushed him & tried to run.. ! Swayam held her across her waist & pushed her to the bed.
Swayam came upon her. He sided her head with his so that he could reach her side neck. He kissed the neck then the cheeks.
"Swayam, yeh galat hai.."
He stopped.
" tum hi kehte the na, we should wait..."
Swayam looked at her.
" bahut wait kar liya Sharon, apne liye b, aur ek dusre k liye b..."
Sharon smiled and put her hand on his chest. With a smooth push she made him lie on the bed. Kissing his forehead she kept head on his chest when Swayam turned off the lamp.
5 years later
"Swayam, Swayam get up!"
" 5 mins Sharon!"
"5 sec. b nahi! Come on get up."
But he was not in a mood to listen to her.
"Fine, then u lost your today's morning kiss!"
She stood up from bed saying this. But suddenly she realized him dragging her. She fell on him.
" neend aa rhi thi na... So jao.."
She wanted to get p. he dragged.
" kiss deni thi na?? do..."
"So jao"
"kiss karo"
" aaj toh nahi milega.."
" wo toh main le kar rahunga..."
He turned her and came upon her. He went closer and closer. Their lips were just 1 mm far
"Papa stop!!!"
Swayam closed his eyes in a oh crap' and Sharon laughed.
"Come baby"
Sharon put him on bed between them.
"How many times have I told you you should not spoil mom dad's moment??"
Swayam said pinching his cheek.
"How many times I have told that I like it?"
He said pinching his nose.
"You are just like your mom in stubbornness!"
Swayam said biting his teeth.
"And you are just like your dad in sweetness."
Sharon said smiling.
"At last we are together, happy, with each other. So many years of us as Swaron and 3 years of our Vrushan."
Swayam said proudly.
"Swaron, and Vrushan, together forever!"
Sharon completed him. They were looking at each other with lots of love.
" Daddy, I can close my eyes if you want..!"
Smiling, Swaron closed his eyes and Swayam kissed on her forehead.
