Sharon has left for kitchen to check if the lunch is ready. Swayam and Elena sat in launch and was discussing with small breaks. Swayam wanted to share everything with Sharon and might be he would have but after whatever Sharon told him about Deepy's childhood, after than Swayam knew it will freak out Sharon and she wouldn't be able to even sleep properly worrying about the situation. Swayam doesn't wanted that to happen because she was already a bit stressed from the morning and this small incident could affect her so much then after knowing the whole truth she will get scared. Of course it wasn't small but Sharon didn't know the actually truth of the incident so it was just a random bad incident and she might never know things like this or much worse can happen again anytime, like he knew now.
Elena cleared her throat and took a sip of hot coffee, "Well, I must say Sharon takes good care of the house." Elena said with a very light smile. "And she takes cares of me as well." Swayam added and took his sip as well. "Well, I can see that. She is a sweet person." Elena said and smiled a big wider this time but the smile wasn't for the statement she spoke but something she saw behind Swayam. "She..." He started to speak but stopped when she saw starring at something behind his back with a large grin of her lips. He turned around and after few seconds smiled himself, seeing Deepy trying to catch a small beetle. She was slowly chasing it and when it goes under the table, she also followed it and crawled under the table. She was giving it cute angry looks whenever it will reach a bit far from her hands. Swayam grinned wider and saw her looking at it like she was a tigress, glaring at her prey; it was cute.
"Deepy?" Swayam called her loudly, making her frown and she left the poor beetle. She stood straight and grinned like a chiseled cat at Swayam far distance. "Come here!" Swayam said and she walked towards him, stopped coming next to him. "What were you doing, nugget?" Swayam asked raising his eye brows at her. "I was haunting." Deepy said, making Swayam chuckled at her answer. "I am serious. I was haunting!" Deepy eyes got wide seeing Swayam suddenly laugh a bit and said again. "I know that, but you were haunting a beetle?" Swayam asked again, pulling her arm and settling her in his lap. "Yes, because that beetle was a bad beetle and whenever I was about to catch it, it ran faster." She said puckering her cute lips. Swayam smiled and kissed her cheek lightly.
"She is so beautiful, Swayam! Deepy come here?" Elena called her. Deepy looked at Swayam who nodded his head and jumped off from his lap and walked to Elena. She stood next to her and Elena immediately held her held, kissing her cheek. Deepy smiled lightly. "Hi, Deepy," Elena said while forwarding her hand for shake. "Hi," Deepy said and shook her hands with Elena. "You know are so beautiful?" Elena said and out of nowhere Deepy blushed. "Whoa, little girl you lush as well." Elena said while chuckling at her. Swayam chuckled at well when he saw Deepy blushing. "You have such a good daughter Swayam!" Elena said, before Swayam could say Deepy said, "He is my jiju, best jiju." Deepy said cheerfully and run into his lap again. "I see." Elena said. "Deepy I have to talk something important, so go and play now, alright?" Swayam said to Deepy and without any word she smiled and ran off.
Swayam looked behind him to see if Sharon is any near or not, thankfully she wasn't. "So, Elena I want to know few details as soon as possible of my... mother." Swayam stammered at the mother which didn't go unnoticed. "And I want to tell you something as well. This morning when I and Sharon were in park, jogging and Deepy was playing at the swing side some women took her to us in a very bad condition. I have never seen her or Sharon that scared. Deepy was crying a lot and she said that She was bad' which I didn't understand but after we reached home, a letter was sent to me by some unknown person, here it is." He said handling the letter to Elena. She read it in few seconds and sighed while folding it. Next second she unfolded the letter again and looked at something, reaching for her cell phone from her, she stood and walked towards the corner of room and stood against the French window.
Swayam also stand seeing her doing so and walked a bit further till she nodded and calmed him down. After few minutes she hanged up. "What happened?" Swayam asked coming walking further. "Well, I want to know if you know how your mother looks like." She asked and Swayam shook his head. "Not even picture?" She asked again and again shook his head. "Ok, that means we can know how your mother looks like, at least." She said smiling at him. "For real!? Are you seriously, how?" He asked quickly walking in front of her. "Well, you see this letter is printed and not hand written, "She said while showing him the letter. "So?" He said, "So that, that every printing shops are usually related to any printing agencies and those shops always put down the waters marks of the agency and the shop as well at the back of letter." She said while turning the letter. "But there is no water mark here." Swayam said, "Yes, because those water marks are always very invisible, is it only put down for the emergencies and proofs whenever needed. Put your finger here," She said and held his thumb running it on the corner of the paper. In a second Swayam's eyes were wide. "Shit! It feels something thick... and written!" He said, "Yes, absolutely." Elena said. "But how can this help in knowing how my mother looks like?" He asked. "We will contact the shop and since your mother must have get this letter printed this morning or yesterday then it won't be much harder for the people there to help us make her sketch." Elena said.
Suddenly Sharon walked in the room. "OMG, Swayam and Elena both of you looks like you are talkative when you are each other. This isn't college people." Sharon said while walking into the room and chuckling at them. "Yeah, sorry!" Elena said. "Oh, you don't have to. I was kidding and besides aren't you both hungry? Come one guys, Deepy is getting cranky. Her stomach needs food and I have strictly told her to not eat until you both come there." Swayam and Elena laughed lightly and followed her to the dining where they found Deepy sitting on the chair counting seconds on her finger and holding fork in other hand, as she already had served herself in plate. "Someone looks so hungry!" Swayam commented on her. "Can I eat now, please?" She said scratching please' and blinding her lashes.
Sharon nodded and they all ate while having little random conversation about life and everything, thankfully while Sharon off for kitchen Swayam has told Elena in which college he was and bit more details she should being her old college friend. Soon they finished and Elena asked for leave after talking almost an hour so to Sharon as well. Sharon and Swayam walked her to the door. As soon as Elena went off Swayam got a message from her, "You should tell her." He knew she meant he should tell her everything about his mother being back and the letter he got today, but he have to wait for right time.

Sharon came into her bedroom and saw Swayam watching TV but he suddenly switched off the TV and walked into the washroom giving her a nervous laugh. Sharon smiled confusingly at him and walked further inside grabbing a tossed towel lying on the bed. She started folding it and saw remote control on the bed. Thinking what must be Swayam watching, she switched on the television. A channel appear on the TV on which sort of romantic and intimate song bheege hoonth tere' was going on, not intimate enough to make Sharon blush but still she does. Thinking of something she higher the voice of TV till Swayam could delightfully and awkwardly hear it in washroom. Sharon higher the voice bit more and started giggling.
After few minutes Swayam walked out of the washroom and tried to snatch the remote from her grip but she was playing with him and suddenly he pulled her towards him, making her bump into him. He leaned further towards her looking into her eyes and for a second he even eyed her lips but hid his emotions afterwards. He started taking steps towards Sharon to get closer and Sharon stepped back, soon after few steps she hit the wall behind her while the song was still playing on TV with max volume. Swayam raised his brows at him and came closer to her, till his body was pressed against her.
Sharon being in this so hot situation still had the guts to giggle, man! "You were watching Bheege hoonth tere, piyaasa dil mere'" Sharon said and sang the song and giggled again. Swayam who was embarrassed and pissed also just smirked at her and thought of showing her his naughty side. He sang the song very lightly and slowly, while glancing at her lips seriously and then he came closer till his nose could touch the delicate skin of her throat and his breath tingled on her skin. He looked back at her and smiled lightly seeing how innocently she was looking at him. Her bog and beautiful orbs were wide and her pink and plump lips were puckered, making him look at those once again. They sure look beautiful without any lipstick, he thought.
Sharon smiled back and hit and both of them grinned, while chuckling lightly on their stupidity. Sharon new this is the right time and she can also be happy like other but for now the priority for her was to make him feel happy by her presence and make him feel that she means a lot to him. "Swayam, you must be tired right? I think you should sleep as tomorrow you have office and God I am going to have such a hectic day tomorrow. First your office, then Deepy's school and then I have to join you in office and work on that new contract of which I am totally unaware of what to do. "Oh my God, I am so nervous. What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?" She kept talking, until she saw Swayam smiling at him and she felt stupid because she knows once she starts speaking, no one can stop her though from past few months she never spoke much but may be today she is happy that finally their relationship has took a turn.
Swayam came closer to her and held her hand tightly, "Sharon?" He called her as she looked into his eyes, "Sharon, I never said this before to anyone but I want say it now. I think that, I like you more than just a friend. I won't say this is love so early but I like you. Thanks for being there for me Sharon, thanks for understanding me and loving me, Sharon. You are the only who is with me when even my mother never cared about me. I am sorry that I was acting like a stranger sort of to you, Sharon. If I have ever hurt you then I am sorry but I never wanted to." He told her and for the first time after very long in their marriage he saw her eyes teary for something he said.
"I know Swayam. I know everything and you never hurted me. Frankly, we were together but still I felt alone somewhere deep inside but not anymore because I know just like I do, you also care for me and you like me, right? I am so thankful Swayam. I don't like being alone Swayam, I have alone all my life, no one was there for me except Deepy, I wanted someone who could love me and think for me, just once. I can't tell you how... how happy I am, Swayam. I can't explain how much I love you!" She said and rested her forehead on his chest and held his shirt with both her hands as tears kept flowing from her orbs.
Swayam didn't say anything and only rested his hands on her hand and soothed her hairs to make her calm. After a while, she wiped her tears and stand straight, giving him a very slight smile. "I am sleepy! Can we sleep Sharon Shekhawat, please?" He asked her so cutely that she couldn't resist. Sharon shook her head and smiled at him. Swayam laid down on the bed on the left side and Sharon took the right side. He switched off the lamp and then there was only moonlight coming into their room, falling directly on both of their faces as the large and only window was on their head just behind the bed and their bed was rested to the wall under the window. It was magical. The scenery was magical and breathtaking. "Good night." Sharon spoke and closed her eyes.
Swayam couldn't close his eyes as the beauty in front of him was not letting him. Her face looked beautiful then ever and innocent like never before and the moonlight falling on her face. He took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. Now, Sharon opened her eyes and looked at him and immediately a smiled crossed her lips, thinking how lucky she is despite of being thinking that she is the most unlucky person of the world, she got what she only dreamed off. She have fallen in love with him in office when still being the serious Swayam, he was like a melting candle, shining everyone by burning himself.
Swayam suddenly opened his eyes and saw Sharon looking at them, without any expression on her face but her eyes, they held one expression, expression of love and pure respect for him in them. They both were off to the far distant sides of bed, when Swayam reached his hand towards Sharon and held her hand, placing their intertwined hands in between the bed. They both looked at their hands and then at each other. Sharon didn't even thinking for once moved a bit and came closer to Swayam, resting her head in his neck and without thinking or wasting another second he wrapped his arms protectively around her. They both knew this is want they want and this is what's best. They both were content and satisfied with their pure and beautiful decision and thus she nuzzled herself in him more and he tightened his grip more.
They both slept, dreaming of the next day coming for them and more nights like this till forever.
