Sharon was sitting in her room.. Lost in her thoughts..
"Confused toh main hoon.. Tumhari life main meri ya mere feelings ki kya importance hai?"
"Main tumhari life main kuch hu bhi ya nahi?"
"Kahin aisa toh nahi na ke tumhe apne entertainment ke liye khilona or should I say toy-boy chahiye tha"
"Please Ms. Rai Prakash mujhe bata dijiye ki aapka mere se mann bhar gaya hai ya kuch aur time tak entertain kar hoga mujhe aapko?"
Sharon (immensely hurt): Really Swayam? Yeh sochte ho tum mere baare main? Yeh matlab nikala tumne mere feelings ka? How could you Swayam? How could you?
Just then she heard the doorbell ring.. Wiping her tears she moved ahead to open the door.. There stood Swayam.. Equally hurt and guilty.. When she saw him, new set of tears started flowing down her eyes.. In an attempt to hide them Sharon turned around and moved into the house..
Swayam was cursing himself for being so harsh with his lady.. He knew he had hurt her, that's why he was here.. He followed her into the house..
Both stood silent, trying hard to find their voice.. There was complete silence, Sharon's back facing him as she was trying hard to control her tears.. And Swayam just staring at her back trying to gauge how should he apologize..
Sharon: Kyun aaye ho yahan?.. Kya hua? Aur koi taunt maarna bhool gaye? Go ahead, I'm listening!
Swayam had expected this.. Though she was spitting out poison but he could sense the hurt behind them.. He hated himself for this.. He himself had never imagined, he would say something like this..
Swayam: Nahi Sharon! Woh.. Main.. Tumse sorry bolne aaya tha! I know maine tumhe bahut hurt kiya hai but I'm sorry for that!.. Main pata nahi tab kya soch raha tha.. Ghusse main tha.. Aur jis tarah se maine behave kiya uske liye mere paas koi justification nahi hai..
Sharon (looking at him): Phir kyun aaye ho? main hurt hu ya nahi yeh dekhne ke liye?
Swayam: Nahi Sharon tum mujhe galat samjh rahi ho..
Sharon: You know what Swayam mujhe toh lagta hai ke aaj tak main tumhe samjh hi nahi paayi..
Swayam (irritated): God Sharon why are you being so difficult.. Main bhi insaan hu yaar.. Mujhe bhi ghussa aata hai.. Main bhi hurt tha..
Sharon (shouting): Hurt the iss liye main tumse milne aayi thi.. Par tum.. Tumhe kya?!.. Bina kisiko bataye gayab ho gaye..
Swayam: Tumhe pata hai ke main kuch cheese khud sambhalna chahta hoon.. iss liye akele rehna chahta hu.. aur uss main..
Sharon: Tum itne selfish kaise ho sakte ho? Tumhe akele rehna tha.. Tum ghusse main the.. Par tumne ek baar bhi mere bare main socha?.. Tum kyun bhool gaye ke ab tumhare life se main bhi judi hui hoon.. Jo baat tumhe affect karti hai woh mujhe bhi karti hai.. Kyun sab baatein khud tak rakhna chahte ho?
Swayam: I'm sorry..
Sharon: Sorry! Yeah right! You know what Swayam I think you should leave..
Swayam: But..
Sharon (turning back): Just leave..
Swayam: Ok.. Fine..Jaane se pehle ek baat bolunga.. Harr relationship main compromises jaruri hote hai..Aur woh compromises dono ko karne padte hai.. par agar ek hi person continuous compromises karta hai toh.. uss person ke paas relation tod dene ke alawa koi option nahi bachta..
Sharon was shocked.. Had she just heard that from Swayam?.. Her Swayam?.. The person who loves her so much.. The person whom she loves so much?.. She just turned back to see if he was the same person who had waited for her for such a long time.. Who had said that he'll make her fall in love with him.. This time Sharon's anger knew no bounds.. He had said something she had never expected..
Sharon (angry): What did you just say?.. Kya kahan tumne?.. Relation tod dene ke alawa aur koi option nahi bachta.. haan?! Is that what you think? (pushing him backwards) how dare you?.. How dare you Mr. Swayam Shekhawat?.. Kya yahin tha tumhara pyaar?.. Yeh thi tumhari commitment?.. Pehle toh tum Rey se kehte ho ke dusron ke point of view se situations ko dekhna chahiye.. Par kya tumne ek baar bhi mere point of view cheeze dekhne ki koshish ki?
Swayam (irritated and in an attempt to stop her): Please Sharon..
Sharon (shouting): No Mr. Swayam Shekhawat ab main bolungi aur tum sunoge.. Rey ko maine humare fight ke bare main kuch nahi bataya tha.. I was the one who told him ke yeh Swayam aur mere beech ki baat hai toh usse interfere karne ki zarurat nahi hai.. Par tumne khud assume kar liya ke maine Rey ko sab bataya.. I guess you are forgetting Mr.Shekhawat par Rey ke saath humare problems share karne ke liye main tumse ghussa hui thi aur uss par humara argument bhi hua tha..
Swayam recalls their argument they had in the basketball court..
Sharon (turning her back): Jis din contracts mile the uss din bhi humari fight ho gayi thi.. Tum mujhse seedhe muh baat bhi nahi kar rahe the.. Toh ghusse main aa kar maine contract sign kar diya.. I know woh meri galti thi and I'm sorry for that.. Maine tumse yeh baat chupai par jis din hum camping ke liye gaye the wahan tum bahut khush the.. Maine tabhi tumhe yeh contract ki baat batake tumhara mood kharab nahi karna chahti thi iss liye maine socha ke college main aane ke baad bata dungi.. Main tumse woh baat nahi chupani chahiye thi.. I'm sorry..
Swayam (moving forward): Sharon..
Sharon (hurt and looking back at him): Par tumne kya kiya haan? Bina kisiko ko kuch bataye chale gaye?.. Ek baar bhi mere bare main nahi socha?.. Poori raat main tumhara intezaar karti rahi.. Aur tum?.. You think ke tumhari mere life main koi importance nahi hai? Really? (hitting him on his chest) How dare you? Tum aise soch bhi kaise sakte ho? How could you Swayam? How could you?
Sharon fell down on her knees sobbing.. Swayam's words were yet ringing in her ears.. Swayam knelt next to her..
Swayam: I'm sorry Sharon.. I really am.. Pata nahi mujhe kya ho gaya tha! I'm sorry!
Sharon without second thoughts hugged him tightly.. Swayam returned the hug with equal intensity.. Their life had experienced a roller-coaster ride in these 48 hours.. Things had gone completely out of hand so much so that out of all the people Swayam was the one who spoke about a break-up.. Both feared losing each other.. This could be seen from the way they were hugging each other.. Sharon was continuously mumbling sorry while holding on to Swayam..
Swayam (creasing her hair): Sshhh.. Sharon bas! Stop crying please..
Swayam slowly broke the hug and looked at Sharon.. Her nose had gone tomato red and she was sniffing like a kid.. He smiled looking at the cuteness of his girlfriend..
Swayam: Pata hai abhi tum kitni cute lag rahi ho?!
Sharon's cheeks turned into a deeper shade of red.. Swayam got her to looked into his eyes by supporting her chin.. Both looked deep into each other's eyes and found immense love for one another.. He forwarded his hand and wiped her tears.. Sharon again saw the injured hand and held it..
Sharon: Kyun tumhe khud ko hurt karne main maza aata hai?
Swayam (apologetically): Woh.. Actually.. Woh pata hi nahi chala!
Sharon (sternly): Agar aaj ke baad khud ko iss tarah hurt kiya, toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!
Swayam looked down and nodded like a 5-year old.. After the warning he got, he looked up at Sharon with cute babyish expression..
Swayam: I love you..
Sharon: I love you too..
