Swasan FF: Childhood Lovers[Chapter-8 updated] - Page 9

"You are looking beautiful" Laksh whispered in Ragini's ear and she blushed while Swara giggled seeing Ragini's blush. Ragini glared at her but she broke into fits of laughter.

"Shona, just check on the terrace if there is the basket of flowers or not, I am not getting here!" Sharmistha said tensing

"Ma relax! Wait I will check" Swara said and headed towards the terrace

"Laksh! Abhi toh bata de!" Sanskaar said pleadingly, his heart was ready to come out of his chest.

"Arre mere bhai shaadi meri hain teri nahi tu kyun itna utawla ho raha hain?" Laksh asked

"Tu bata raha hain ki meine yahaan se jau!" Sanskaar threatened

"Black-kmail kar raha hain! toh ja!" Laksh said

"Arre bata na beh!" Sanskaar said irritated

"Thike hain rukh" Laksh said trying hard not to laugh

"Ragini" Laksh called out. Sanskaar sighed in relief; she was not the girl whom is best-friend is getting married. His heart started to beat in his normal speed and he could control his breath. He knew he still can't see her in any other man's arms be it his best-friend. He still loves her and no deny to that but his brain still reminds him of her betrayal and the pain he has gone through the time due to her.

"Kya hua?" Ragini's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Who is she? And what is she doing here? Did Swara left from here? Or her family shifted to somewhere else? He just couldn't stop his thoughts to roam on his mind

"Ragini meet Sanskaar and Sanskaar meet Ragini" Laksh introduced them to each-other. Ragini smiled at him and he returned the smile. He forwarded his hand for a gentle shake and she accepted it.

"We are friends from fifteen" Laksh said with a smile on his face

"Is this your house?" Sanskaar asked not able to stop himself but then groaned mentally to ask a stupid question. Ragini shifted her glance towards Laksh while he just shrugged not able to understand his question.

"Umm...yeah" she said looking at him confused

"Oh" he trailed off not knowing what to reply

"Ladies and Gentlemen we really want a family time so please excuse for five minutes till then you guys enjoy!" Shekar called out on the mike while the three standing upon the dais looked confused.

"Shekar uncle?" Sanskaar murmured to himself. Sanskaar was more confused if he is there means Swara will be also present here. Where the hell is Swara? Why is she not coming in-front of him? But how the hell they are connected? He really wanted to find out answers if not his head will son burst out like a bubble-gum.

"Ragini, Laksh, Sanskaar chalo mere saath!" Shekar said and the three followed him.

"What is he doing here?" Sanskaar asked not able to stop himself

"Who?" Laksh asked confused

"Shekar uncle you idiot!" Sanskaar snapped at him

"Dude! He is Ragini's father you baboon!" Laksh snapped at him

"What?" Sanskaar shouted

"Koi problem?" Ragini asked hearing the commotion between the two.

"Huh? No." Sanskaar stated

"Okay" Ragini sad leaving the matter

"How can Shekar uncle be Ragini's dad?" Sanskaar hissed

"Dude! Are you in your senses?" Laksh snapped at him

"Sorry." Sanskaar whispered. Sure, his head was going to burst soon.

"Andar aao" Shekar said to the three of them and they followed him inside the room. Where to their surprise every single person was present there but still he felt incomplete. He wasn't feeling the completeness from his family.

"Ho kya raha hain?" Laksh asked

"Sahil, Ragini yeh hain Ram Prasad Maheshwari aur unki patni Sujata Maheshwari aur unka beta Sanskaar" Shekar said introducing them to the couple

"Uncle aap kese jante hain unhe?" Laksh asked in curiosity

"Yeh humare padosi the" Sharmistha said and Ragini gasped. She looked at Sanskaar whose eyes were scanning the whole room. The person is standing in-front of her for whom her sister was waiting for the past thirteen years of her life. And she inwardly saluted her timing for his entry in her life. A sudden rage flickered through her Sanskaar was not at all in pain nor he threw any signs of restlessness to meet her. She was angry on him for not contacting her sister, for making her going through the pain for which she only doesn't know the reason. She searched for Swara in the room. Does she know of his arrival? Did she met him? Did they talk? A lot of questions roamed inside her mind but was not able to have answers of them.

"Hey Sanskaar long time, buddy" Sahil forwarded for a manly hug

"Yup! A very much long time!" Sanskaar replied trying high to control his rage.

"You guys know each other?" Shweta asked her son

"Of course ma! We were in the same school and the same batch; he was the most famous personality at that time!" Sahil said smiling where Sanskaar looked at him stunned, definitely he had no idea why his enemy was praising him so much. From where his memory starts they were always those rivals who cannot be one by any mistake. Sanskaar tried read him through his eyes but couldn't decipher anything. There was glint in his eyes stating he was much forward than Sanskaar. Sahil looked at him and his eyes held the rage for him and Sanskaar's eyes depicted the same, and he knew he was playing a much bigger game . Ragini was watching the encounter keenly, she knew there was some cold war between them, and they were ready to attack each other if they got the chance but they restricted it fighting with their eyes.

"Sharmistha ji Swara kahaan hain?" Sujata asked and the three heads snapped towards Sharmistha. Sanskaar really didn't know what to do. On one side he wanted to see his Swara on the other side he wanted ignore her like plague.

"Usko meine terrace peh bheja tha. Meine usseh abhi call karti hun" Sharmistha said and moved towards a corner. While Sanskaar stared at the door to crack open and see her into a grown-up beautiful. Suddenly his thoughts were cut by his phone which was ringing seeking the attention.

"Excuse me!" he said and left the study room.

"What a timing Nikhil" Sanskaar groaned into the phone

"Sorry sir act-" his phone was now broken into two pieces. While he got hold of the girl who was ready to embrace herself on the ground. Her eyes were closed in fear if her body will touch the ground while he just looked at her. The innocent face of hers was attracting him towards her. She made him remember of her. She opened her eyes sensing she was in air in some stranger's arms. She panicked but as soon as she opened her eyes, their eyes got locked. Her panic suddenly stifled under her nerves. She could sense the familiar feeling of safety in his arms. Both were drowning into each-other. If possible, they could have stood there till their last breath. They could feel the completeness in each other's arms which she couldn't feel in any other man's arms nor he could feel it any other woman's arms. He straightened her and his attention turned towards his phone which now broken into pieces.

"What the hell!" he hissed taking trying to join the pieces

"It's your fault! You can't see when you talk!" She replied in the same tone

"Accept it's your fault" Sanskaar said still not looking at her

"My foot" she said and stormed into the room

"Arrogant" he muttered under his breath and decided to enter the study room before Swara enters and call Nikhil late at night.

"Ma surprise kahaan hain?" Swara asked entering the study and all the heads snapped toward her and she stopped in tracks looking at the smiling faces of her Sujata aunty and Ram Prasad uncle. She smiled at them; if they are here then Sanskaar will also be here? Her smile faded away upon the thought. She looked around the room to see any face which was familiar to him. Ragini looked concerned and she replied with a small smile playing on her lips which was nothing but fake.

"Swara idhar aa" Sujata said and she followed her. While Sanskaar entered the room just to see his mom kissing some girl's forehead.

"Swara dekh koun aaya hain" Sharmistha nudged Swara to look at the door

"You!" they both shouted together and the family members were taken aback by the surprise!

"Swara dekh Sanskaar" Sharmistha said making Swara's eyes wide-a-like saucers

"Sanskaar" Swara whispered while he stood there rooted not knowing what to say or reply. He didn't know but why he is heart bead suddenly rose starting to pound of his chest. All the members were looking at them for some action, but just to see Sanskaar to storm out of the room without any word and a tear slip down from Swara's eyes but unfortunately none could see it other than Ragini and Laksh.
