Hey guys! I know I'm kinda inactive in writing department. :P But I am a bit... actually very irritated with the current track and wanted to write something on it. So this OS is based on the current track, and today happens to be the birthday of a very dear friend of mine- Ria! So this OS is kinda dedicated to her.
Happy birthday Whiskey! 🤗
Sharon walked out of the VP's cabin huffily. She was exasperated, irritated, angry and what not. How could Swayam do this to her? He knew she loved him and instead of sharing every single thing with her, he was keeping in touch with Aashi? OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE AASHI??
She didn't notice where she was going... She didn't even want to. All she knew was that she had found another reason to be at loggerheads with Swayam. How could he do this to her? Why hadn't Swayam told Sharon that he was resigning from his post? WHY?
Sharon walked towards the abandoned corridor and sat on the musty steps. She was on the verge of crying. She and Swayam had faced so much over the past two years and after so many ups and downs they were finally together. They hadn't been able to make the most of their time with each other and all this happened... Everything had happened so suddenly that neither Swayam nor Sharon got the time to come in terms with reality.
She recollected what had happened the previous day. His words flushed through her mind.
He was right in what he had said. He couldn't be the calm and understanding person always. Neither could he be so silent nor remain without voicing his opinions.
Sharon calmed down a bit. Not because at one point of time, only for a millisecond she felt that he was right, but because she knew that she herself had separated him from her. The previous day, he had come to apologize, to make everything alright.
But alas, something different and gross happened. She should have acted a bit more calmly. And about Aashi, she was still upset over the matter. She knew she herself had separated him from her, but Swayam could have at least messaged her about his decision, if not speak... He could have at least informed her in some way. But no, out of all the people he had to keep in touch with Aashi.
She's the CS. He works under her. So definitely she would know about it. Not you. A voice echoed through her mind.
But still... I'm...I was... Her heart ached as she said "was"... his girlfriend. Personal relations are more important than professional ones. He should have spoken to me about it first. She tried to retaliate.
Did you try and tell him that you are resigning from the GS post? Did you try and talk to him before signing Adi's contract? That day during camping did you tell him what you had done? Did you tell him the truth then? Her doppelganger questioned.
The situation demanded something else. I couldn't tell it to him then because...
Because what?
Because of the situation.
So the same thing applies to Swayam?
Why should it? He's the understanding and the calm one.
Sharon... Why on earth are you acting so stupidly? He's the understanding one... why can't you be either? He said that compromises are important. Why couldn't you agree to it? I know you were irritated then, but now you know that what he said was right. Compromises are important, aren't they? And is break up a solution to every problem? You'll face so much in future... have so many misunderstandings...So would you break up with him every time?
Just stop it now! Please stop telling all this to me! I know I was wrong. And if I was wrong, he was wrong too.
Wrong why? Just because he told about a professional college related decision to someone who is senior to him and not you? Are you kidding me?
In that case, I'm senior to him as well.
But you aren't talking to him are you?
He could have messaged me at least.
Why should he message and tell it to you when it's not even relevant? Professional and personal life shouldn't be mixed Sharon and he very well knows that you are bound to do something like that.
Sharon thought for a moment. What about the break up and all? He was wrong at that time... What do you have to say about it?
Well, her doppelganger said. He knew he was wrong. That's why he came to apologize right? But you shoved him off and impulsively asked him to break all the relations and cried after that? You think he wanted a break up? Remember, he himself said that you are very special to him... Why would he break up willingly then? You were the one who broke up.
Sharon cupped her face as silent tears rolled down her hazel orbs. She thought about the break up. Why was everything happening so suddenly? She loved Swayam and she hadn't spoken properly to him since many hours. She felt that a part of her was being taken away. The time she had spent with Swayam had been so precious and so memorable that she couldn't divert herself from him. She wanted his company. Their relationship should have been strong and if it was special to him, it was special to her as well. She valued him a lot. She shouldn't have been impulsive. She had read somewhere that ego was nowhere mandatory in a love relation. And her ego was the reason because of which a void was created in her perfect life.
She realized what her doppelganger was trying to say. And yes, her doppelganger was right. Sharon didn't know how to react. She had reacted so weirdly the previous day. She shoved him off when he had come to make amends with her and apologize to her. She should have understood him properly.
I shouldn't be with him. I can't understand him.
Do you think he wants that?
No. Sharon said after thinking for some time.
Then? If at all you don't go and talk to him now, he'll probably feel more hurt than ever.
Sharon wiped her tears and decided to go and talk to him. Her cheeks were moist due to tears but she had no time for washing them. She wanted to just go and vent her heart out to Swayam first.
Swayam stood on the college terrace, looking at the busy city of Mumbai that lay in front of him. True, there was no reason to go to college that day, but somehow that place, was very special to him. It gave him happiness... It gave him solace and peace. The terrace was very special to him since he could always have a heart to heart conversation with his inner self. The past 24 hours had been very difficult for him. He knew what he had to face. A solitary life, after all those special and pleasant moments with the love of his life was becoming very difficult for him, especially because she had chosen to break up with him.
Sharon slowly opened the door of the terrace and saw him. He was not facing him, yet she could gauge how he was feeling. How was she supposed to say sorry or talk to him? Would he even listen? What would he say? She was feeling very awkward. She said a small prayer and asked god to be with her for the next five or ten minutes and to make everything like before. She was trying her best to repair all the damaged wounds.
She slowly walked towards him and tapped on his shoulder. She didn't know what to say. She felt nervousness creeping up to her.
"Swayam..." She said as she tapped on his shoulder.
Swayam, for a moment couldn't believe that he had heard her voice. But he could feel her touch; he could sense her presence, just like before. He had to believe that it was her.
He turned to see a very sad looking Sharon facing him.
"Yes?"
Yes? All he could manage was a yes? Sharon thought. That was his reaction? So bland, so impassive.
Okay, it's not difficult Sharon.. And looks like he has forgotten almost everything and is normal. Not too difficult to talk to him. Just say whatever comes to your mind.
"Swayam... I wanted to say..." She began slowly, audible enough for him.
"You want to say something more Sharon? I thought you were done saying everything yesterday before you broke up with me? Or is there anything more left?" He said curtly.
Act calmly Sharon.
"Why are you saying all this?"
"Why are you acting like this Sharon? You very well know why I'm saying this."
"Swayam... You don't know what I mean." She said, still acting calmly.
"I very well know everything Sharon. I do know. Everything you said yesterday was what you meant, didn't you? Especially the breaking up part? You think everything has been normal for me after that? You think I am having a gala time? You think the relationship and my feelings were a joke Sharon Rai Prakash? I've had enough of it Sharon! I can't take any more. I'm a human for god's sake!" Swayam stressed on the last sentence.
His acrimonious words were like daggers to her heart. Her heart ached as she heard him saying all that. She couldn't act calm any more.
"Swayam STOP IT!" She said, this time raising her voice and sounding curt as well. She couldn't take it anymore. "If you were having a bad day, I was having one too. If you think I was super happy after the break up, you are so mistaken! If you think I made a joke out of your feelings, I think that you made a joke of my feelings as well!" She said.
"What do you mean?"
Sharon was on the verge of crying. "Did you ever ask me why I did all that? Why I signed the contract without letting you know? Why I told Rey that you were uncomfortable? Did you ever try to know my point of view? And what was that? Playboy...toy boy and what not did you say? Do you think my love is a joke? Do you think this relationship was a joke? Do you think that I said that I love you only to get myself entertained? Those times that we spent together were a JOKE?? You think everything is wrong with you. Did you ever try to know what I'm undergoing? DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY OPRESSED ONE AT PRESENT?"
Swayam was quiet all this while. True, he hadn't tried to know what she was going through. And playboy, he was wrong in saying that. But she drove him to that part. He shouldn't have said that. She very well knew that he could lose control over himself at times. And honestly, he was not interested in maintaining a distance from her. He wanted to get back with her.
"Swayam... I haven't spoken decently with you in these 24 hours... That day when I was at your place and you disappeared without letting anyone know... I was worried. I was worried for you...So much that I stayed out in the open whole night only to talk to you... only for assuring that you are alright... And all I get to hear is you calling yourself an entertainment factor in my life. How could you?"
"Sharon I didn't know that..." Swayam's anger slowly melted.
"No Swayam.. You don't know anything... Maybe I was just punished for loving you. You know the day before; Rey had come to meet me. And I snapped at him as well... and had an attack... of asthma. He came to know about it. I was surprised because I thought that your love and affection had finally cured me. But no... you went and all that love and affection went with you."
"Sharon please don't say all this." Swayam was already stunned. He tried pacifying her by keeping his hands on her shoulder. She shoved them off, though.
Sharon broke down. "Swayam, I never knew that our love was so weak that any random person could break it. I never knew that we would break up over such an insensitive matter. I never knew that you would misunderstand me like this. I never knew that an external entity could break us. And I myself don't know how I could talk about breaking up with you." She was on her knees. She cupped her face and cried her heart out. Swayam sat on his knees in order to face her.
"Sharon... it's not weak. Our love is strong. It's too strong to be broken by anyone."He cupped her face. "You know that."
Sharon faced him, her eyes brimmed with tears. "Then why this break up?"
"You asked me to break all the relations."
She sniffled. "And you heard me? You know I'm impulsive and stupid... and yet I'm talking to you with a hope that everything would be back to normal."
"Sharon... stop..."
"Swayam... why are we allowing our ego to destroy our relation? Why? I thought a relationship isn't built on ego. "
"You were the one who spoke about break up first."
Sharon nodded. "But you can end it." She said as another tear drop made its way through her eyes.
"I can?" Swayam asked in a soft tone.
Sharon nodded her head in acceptance. "Yes yes yes!"
"Okay.." He cleared his throat. Sharon laughed slowly out of all the random tears at it. "Sharon Rai Prakash... do you still love me and will you give me an opportunity to complete you?"
Sharon nodded properly, making it evident to him and she was sure that she was not going to regret her decision later. "I love you.. I still love you. I will always love you and only you. You complete me."
Swayam hugged her tightly. She fit into his embrace properly. She loved this feeling. She was missing him and his arms that were always open to her... She made up her mind to never ever bring her ego in her relation.
"Is there anything else you want to let me know?" Swayam asked as they were still into each other's embrace.
"No." Sharon shook his head. "I was going to tell you everything... but you came to know... I'm sorry Swayam."
They broke apart. "Sharon, promise me that you'll never say sorry to me. We are together, and we will never give the other one an opportunity to misunderstand. We will never misunderstand each other and before taking any step, talk to each other and clear everything out. We will always understand each other. Promise me." He forwarded his right palm.
Sharon looked at him and let out a smile. "I promise you." She placed her palm on his."
Swayam clutched her palm tightly and gently kissed it. "I love you Sharon." He wiped her tears.
"I love you too." She said. Thank god everything was back to normal.
They got up and proceeded to leave. But before that, Sharon wanted to say something to him.
"Now I'm not going to college. And Rey, I'm not talking to him since I've still not forgiven him for what he did that day. Anyway, I don't want to talk about him. Go home and pack your bag."
"Why?" Swayam asked her.
"To complete something."
"Complete what?"
"The camping date." She said, as her lips curved into a crescent.
"Are you serious? Woohoo!" He exclaimed.
"I'm as excited as you. Now go home and get ready okay? We'll leave soon."
"Thanks Sharon for doing all this."
"I love you. Why won't I do all this especially for you?"
Swayam let out a wide grin and hugged her tightly. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life."
"Me too Swayam." Sharon said. This was one of the best moments for her. She had managed to win him back, and now she was not going to push him away.
