SwaSan OS : TOUCH

He never admitted it but he never liked his family too much. They had a habit of interfering in everyone's business. Now that everyone knew Ragini's truth and yet because of her memory loss since she was back in the house - she had some plan up her sleeve all the time. He still had not been able to figure out if Ragini was faking it all - but he did not care. She was Swara's to handle now. However, when Ragini convinced everybody to have a party in MM to celebrate Swara and Sanskaar's and her and Lakshya's wedding - Sanskaar had no idea what she was planning. He had thought his Bade Papa would not agree to it - but he had. The elders had believed that it would be a good change for everyone and it was like they did not have a reason to celebrate. Sanskaar had not wanted to go but his mother had convinced him. He had rolled his eyes and agreed.

Swara had tried to hard to woo Sanskaar into speaking to her but he had not budged. He remained distant. He listened to all her plans silently, but as soon as it got personal, he left on some pretext or another. She understood that he was avoiding her and yet she continued to try. She wanted her best friend back and she wanted him now. Things had not been easy for her in the Maheshwari mansion with Sanskaar always missing. Lakshya had been pining for her and was continuously following her around. He kept begging Swara for forgiveness and acceptance of him and Swara was now getting irritated. If things were not getting worse - Lakshya would randomly walk in between Sanskaar and her conversations and try and divert her attention to him. Swara had seen that Sanskaar was uncomfortable with Lakshya's growing proximity to her - but however much she tried, Lakshya was determined to win her back. His determination was creating an even bigger wedge between Swara and Sanskaar.

Swara took out the clothes she was going to wear for the party. She remembered how things had become ugly yesterday night when Lakshya had unexpectedly shown up in their room.

Swara, do you remember the first time we danced together in the Baadi?

Swara rolled her eyes and looked at Sanskaar. He was sitting on the couch and typing furiously on his laptop. Lakshya paid no heed to Sanskaar and came and sat next to Swara on the bed. Swara got up with a jolt.

Lakshya, leave the room. NOW!

Sanskaar had looked up then a bit surprised but a smile playing in the corner of his mouth. Swara looked at him and their eyes met. Lakshya, who had been shocked at her outburst said, Wear something in red and save the first dance in the party for me Swara.'Lakshya had given one final glance to Sanskaar and left. Swara was creeped out by Lakshya's behavior but she ignored his comment. Swara had noticed that Sanskaar had again started working on his laptop, his eyes fixated and his jaws clenched in anger. Swara had sighed and again tried to speak to him - but he left the room.

Sanskaar was dressed in a Gold sherwani. He looked absolutely stunning like an Indian Royal Prince. He saw her reflection in the mirror as she walked out of the washroom in a gold sequenced Sari. Her hair open, her eyes adorned with black kohl and a song playing on her lips. She looked breathtaking gorgeous and his heart skipped a beat. She is not wearing red Sanskaar! His heart said to him. He saw Swara come and stand next to him and their eyes met in the mirror. After a good 10 seconds eye lock, Sanskaar looked away and walked towards the door, Main neeche jaa raha hoon. Tum aajana.

Before he could leave, he heard Swara call out to him. He turned around and looked at her questioningly. The moment he looked at her - his resistance started to falter. She looked so beautiful that he was finding hard to control himself.

...Sanskaar please tie kardo.

He had not heard half of what she had said but he walked in a daze to her. She turned her back to him and momentarily he was caught off guard on what she was actually asking him to do. When he saw her pull her long hair in the front and the dori of her blouse open - he gasped. She wanted HIM to tie it for her? HIM?

Main?

Aur koi nahin hai na yahan pe? she said as their eyes met in the mirror.

Sanskaar gulped again. He and Swara had had physical closeness before but that was by accident. Removing an eyelash could not compare to this could it? Or helping her off a broken bed? Or her falling on him? He looked at her bareback and saw the whiteness of her skin and his jaws clenched. Damn it! She was making it so difficult for him. He held the dori's lightly in his hand and tried not to not let his hands touch her skin as he tied them. He looked at Swara as his hands lightly brushed her shoulder blade and saw her eyes close. Was he imagining? Was Swara responding to his touch?

Done

He was about to leave to calm his nerves after the sexual tension he had just felt between him and Swara, but he was stopped as he felt Swara hold his arm. He turned to look at her and saw an elegant diamond necklace in her hand. Ye bhi pehena do please. She murmured. Sanskaar gulped...again.

He took the necklace from her hand and wrapped it around her neck. He saw her hold it with one hand and clear off any hair from the nape of her neck. Sanskaar loved her neck. He closed his eyes and opened it again and worked on the knots of the chain. His hands kept brushing on the nape of her neck and Swara again closed her eyes.

Done...again. Aur kuch?

Swara turned to face him and smiled.

Nahin. Aur kuch nahin. Do minute wait karo. We will go together.

Sanskaar wanted to refuse but he could not. He stood still as he saw her put the sindoor on her head with a smile on her face. He was shocked. He could not believe what his eyes were seeing. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Was Swara smiling while putting on the sindoor? WHY?
