THE VICTORY OF TRUE LOVE
He glanced at Swara who stood at the corner of the room..she had a wide grin on her face making her all the more beautiful...he wondered how even the most brightly lit candle would fall flat in front of her enchanting smile
Ye sab mere liye ,wow its just amazing spoke an elated Laksh
Ragini nodded at him ,haa laksh ji wo swara aur humne milke kiya
Even though Laksh had declared Ragini as his fiance in front of all, Ragini was adamant on winning Lakshs heart and Swara willingly agreed to help her beloved sister...the golden opportunity itself had walked up to the doors of the sisters ..Laksh's birthday marked the perfect occasion for a fresh new beginning Of Laksh's and Ragini's love story...dadi who lived under the false impression that impurity had made a permanent space in their house after her so called bahu Sharmishta had found her way to the Gadodia parivar was off to kashi to take a dip in the mighty ganga and carry some Ganga jaal back home...and as far as their maa baba were concerned Swara very tactfully had managed to send them for a romantic dinner...hence the Gadodia house had been turned into a celebration hub for the next few hours
After they were done with the cake cutting ceremony Swara put on some soft romantic music
Chalo ab bohot baate hogayi...ab mujhe thora bohot entertainment chahiye..Laksh aur Ragini tum dono dance kyu nahi karte..suggested Swara ,with a cheerful smile that played on her mischievous face
Dance hum?wo bhi Laksh ji ke saath stuttered a nervous Ragini
Arre buddhu itna kyu sharmari hai ..afterall wo tumhara hone wala pati hai...haina Laksh?asked Swara
Laksh's heart winced in pain ...how he longed to blurt out the truth to Swara that she was the love of her life and not ragini...but he was just too frightened to do anything which would end up hurting both the girls..he nodded his head in approval to Swara's question...
Swara made herself comfortable on the sofa sipping some orange juice as she gaped at laksh
Laksh and Ragini danced to the melodious tune of khuda jaane ki...Swara cringed in pain to see the proximity between Laksh and Ragini...for the past few days she had started to feel differently for lucky..tears welled up in her eyes as they progressed with their dance...
Ye laksh ko maine sirf Ragini ke saath dance karne ke liye kaha ..ye use itna chipak kyu raha hai...pondered swara...tu pagal ho gayi hai kya swara..kya bolri hai ...wo dono hone wale husband wife hai...tujhe isse kya farak parta hai..ranted a inner voice within her..the turmoil within her was getting unbearable with every passing seconds..but she remained seated all helpless bewildered by her feelings for lucky ..
Laksh didn't fail to steal glances at Swara even in the midst of the dance... .secretly wishing that she could be his dance partner ...and life partner too
That night after Ragini was off to sleep Swara stood by the window all dejected and forlorn ...Laksh had made a special place in her heart but she dismissed any of her romantic feelings for him causing her all the more grief..it had now began to drizzle lightly...the aroma of the downpour soothed her a bit...but her peace was lost again when the unpleasant noise of honking startled her
Itni raat ko ye horn kaun bajara hai?thought Swara...mai hi dekhti hu
She sneaked out of the Gadodia house in this pitch darkness..her heart was thumping loudly..but she somehow garnered courage and went out in the rain...
Tum?her jaws fell open to find lucky in front of her
Kahi mai sapna to nahi dekhri na..muttered swara under her breath
Haaa swara mai...wo maine apna mobile kahi kho diya hai..wo hi dhudne aaya hu..shayad idhar chor diya ho,spoke Laksh with a grim expression
Tum ruko mai dekh ke aati hu...replied a concerned Swara
Little did she know that Laksh's mobile was all safe and secure which he had deliberately left behind in his home...Laksh had been feeling restless and unsettled ...mobile was just an excuse to meet Swara...who he believed had the power to heal all his wounds
Duffer ek mobile nahi sambhala jaata tumse...andhar nahi hai...ring kiya to switch off aara hai..waise chahte ho to mai tumhari madad kar sakti hu, rebuked Swara angrily
Even her scolding was like music to his ears...koi zaroorat nahi hai..dhudogi kam taane zyada marogi..mai ghar mai dekh lunga..udhar hi hoga kahi..came Laksh's reply
It began to shower even more heavily than before ...Laksh speedily ran to take shelter under a tree..but he was taken by surprise when he gazed at Swara ..
She was rejoicing every bit of the rain fall...jumping like a child who was offered her favourite lollipop..this girl never failed to amaze him ...her wet dress now accentuated her curves and the captivating smile was enough to drive anyone crazy
Beemar hone ka itna shauk hai kya...bheeg kyu rahi ho?screamed a concerned Lucky
Aare tum bhi bheego na ..bohot maaza aara hai..said Swara in her usual chirpy voice
Sabko apni taraha pagal samaj rakha hai kya,Scorned Lucky
Chalo bhaar me jao..aise hi khare raho per ke neeche...Mr looser spoke Swara teasingly
Now Laksh walked towards Swara and punched her playfully on her stomach ..and both of them laughed out heartilyWaise Laksh tum to bare chupe rustam nikle...bohot mast wala dance kiya.. par ragini tumhara saath nahi deti to kaha kar pate..bilkul made for each other ho tum dono,spoke Swara with profound sadness, struggling hard to smile
Bus karo Swara, Ragini Ragini ragini bohot ho gaya ,shouted Laksh furiously ,anger smouldering in his eyes ..
Nahi karta mai pyar usse revealed Laksh,after all his failed attempts to suppress his feelings towards Swara
Swara stood numb by shock,all ears for what Laksh had to say
Pata hai Swara,continued Laksh ,with moist eyes
Jab tum hasti ho na lagta hai jaise 1000 watt ka bulb jal utha ho...aur jab tum roti ho lagta hai jaise uska fuse urr gaya ho.. aur tum jab bhi mujhe inn bari bari akkhon se dekhti ho naa... unme mujhe bus bacho jaise masumiyat naazar aati hai..aur tumhari cute si nak..jisme har waqt gussa chara rahta hai..pata hai swara tumhari bak bak ke bina lagta hai mano mera din pura hi naa hua ho..man karta hai ki har ek choti se choti baat tumse share karu shona..koi teekhi mirchi se kam nahi ho tum..arre tumhe jhaal muri pasand hai na ..i promise har din tumhe jhal muri khilane le jaunga,bus uss priceless smile ke liye jisse mai bohot pyaar karta hu..tumhari hare ek adaa,hare ek baat se pyaar hai mujhe ..haaa swara i love u...i love u a lot ..
Swara had been rendered speechless trying hard to find words...she was sobbing hard now...she had this strong urge to embrace him tightly showering him with all the love and affection that he truly deserved ...but something held her back..her love for sister restrained her from doing so
Nahi Laksh,ye galat hai ..ragini bohot hurt hogi..wo tumse bohot pyaar karti hai,spoke Swara ...paralysed with shock at the way the events had unfolded..her voice was trembling now ..
Aur hamare pyaar ka kya swara.?.jhut mat bolna...mujhe pata hai ki tum bhi mere liye bilkul waise hi feel karti ho jaise mai tumhare liye..aur tumhe kya lagta hai agar meri shaadi Ragini se ho jaati hai to wo kam hurt hogi.haa manta hu maine galti ki hai..par tum jo saaza dogi mujhe manzoor hai..bus mujhe apne aap se alag mat karo ,said Laksh who too was deeply anguished
Tum please idhar se chalo jaayo..mujhe kuch samaj nahi aara,jao laksh jao,yelled swara ,with bloodshot eyes
Par Swara ek baar meri baat to suno
Tumhe ek baar me baat samaj nahi aati kya..kaha na mere samne se chale jao, shrieked swara,tears rolling down her face
Laksh finally gave up...he started walking towards the direction where his car was parked..the rejection had already shattered his heart in to a million pieces ..
Swara now fell down on her knees, sobbing inconsolably..she lifted her eyes and gazed at lucky...he was quite at a distance now,the more farther he went her hope began to dwindle all the more..no she couldn't afford to lose him..her heart signalled her a big yes to go and stop her love
Swara ran speedily towards Lucky ,gasping for breath
She engulfed him tightly in her arms as if there was no tomorrow ,she finally felt safe in his arms ..her heart craving for more love..lucky responded by giving a gentle kiss on her forehead..he felt blessed to have Swara by her side, thanking god for giving him his best birthday present ever ...the silence between them spoke volumes...it spoke a tale of true love
Laksh and Swara knew that the road ahead was not going to be easy..but their love for each other gave them the strength to fight against all odds..and at the end they knew that true love had to be victorious
