Part 5
Next morning at MM
Everyone was gathered at the dining table for breakfast. The women of the house- Annapurna served the marwari delicacies to her family. While the family was relishing the food in front of them, Laksh was too engrossed in his mobile. DP asked-
What was so important Laksh than having breakfast?
Laksh not moving his gaze away replied-
New project Dad. Its a big one and ...he looked up at DP and continued- its gonna be the best. I and Swara are going to make sure this is one of the best events ever we had done.
DP nodded assuring him that he will handle it well. Everyone smiled and wished him good luck for the project. Soon the men left leaving behind the women to tale care of the rest.
Outside the mansion, Laksh was getting ready to leave in his bike when Sanskar called him-
Lucky...
Laksh turned around to find a concerned looking Sanskar-
Yes bhai..
Sanskar placed his one hand on laksh's shoulder and continued-
Lucky, I know you are good ...I mean you and Swara have been event planners since 2 years and have done good. But this one seems too big a event... Are you sure? I mean I understand...
Before Sanskar could complete, Laksh hugged himall of a sudden and sanskar embraced Laksh for a warm embrace.
After parting away, Laksh said-
I know bhai you are concerned for me and Swara. But trust me its going to be well and good. Don't you worry. I will handle it all. Laksh with all smiles then left to pick up Swara.
Sanskar on his way to office was thinking of Swara's words yesterday. She was not at ease with the project and that didn't send him any good signs. Yes, Sanskar was concerned for his brother and for his love.
While on the way to college Laksh and Swara didn't speak much. Both were preoccupied with thoughts of Sanskar. While Laksh wondered why Sanskar was so much concerned, Swara on the other side was thinking about their relationship. Once they reached their destination, the duo moved to their music room. Swara observed Laksh pacing in the room, restlessness clear in his face. She asked-
Oye best friend... What happend?
Laksh stopped and said- I don't know?
Swara got up from where she was sitting on the bench moved towards him and said-
You don't know? What that means?
The thing is...bhai...said Laksh
Bhai...Sanskar...what happened to him? Asked Swara a bit concerned
Laksh turned around, running his hand through his hair continued-
Dont know. He was concerned and very much in doubt about our next event. As if not sure about it. He kind of asked me to reconsider that.Laksh turned around and said-
You know Swara, bhai is just 2 years elder to me. He is a very practical and business minded guy, he never thinks twice about any contract. And the way he talked to me today was unlike him. Saying this Laksh moved ahead.
Swara after listening to all of it felt relieved, protected and secure. She was sure that she wasn't alone. He was there by her, for her. Sanskar had asked Laksh about this project to be sure of it for her , she was happy and all smiles.
" he is a nice guy" said Swara
Laksh who was going through the project papers had missed out at her and asked-
What?
Swara bit her tongue, turned around and said- nothing...shrugging her shoulders.
Then the two left to plan for their next big event.
After a while, Sanskar was waiting for his love in the garden when he heard sanskaaarrr...a loud voice from behind. He turned around to find-
Swara all dressed up in a white umbrella kurta and red legging. She had tied her hair in a pony and had her bangles and earnings .
Swara had reached the garden and there she found him , standing calmly, waiting for her. Both his hand in his pockets, resting, taking in the breeze. Swara was in awe of this guy who had made her fall in love with him. His care, concern, his affection and protective nature was what she found special and above all the freedom and happiness he bestowed upon her. With all the happiness engulfing her, she called - sanskaarrr...
She ran towards him and stopped as soon as she reached , breathing hard she looked at him smiled and there she wrapped her arms around his neck for a hug.
Sanskar was confused by swara's gesture, the run was may be coz she was late, the smile may be coz she smiles always and the hug may be she...
Sanskar instead of analyzing further, decided to live the moment. He held her protectively around her waists and they embraced for what felt like forever.
After their silence dawned meeting, swasan decided to leave . on their way to her college, swasan remained quite, there was no hard feelings there, it was just love around, the silence was serene and peaceful. They were comfortable and happy. As they reached, Swara turned to look at Sanskar and found him smiling at her. She blushed, her face turned crimson red and Sanskar didn't fail to notice the change.
Sanskar...called Swara in a low voice
Hmmm...said sanskar waiting for her to look at him.
Swara looked up at him and her eyes were filled-
Thank you...
Sanskar was at first worried to see those beautiful eyes filled up but that sweet thank you assured him that she was alright.
Thank you for everything Sanskar, saying this she rested her head on his shoulder.
Sanskar got her emotions, understood everything and let her find solace with him.
Later that night
" so its all fun there? That's great Swara!"
Exclaimed ragini, munching in the chocolate with all smiles talking to her dear sis who is miles apart from her through Skype.
Yes my dear behena... Its awesome...I and Laksh are working on our next event and now I am sure that its gonna be great. Said Swara munching on the popcorn kept beside her on the bed.
"That means you weren't sure before?" Asked ragini curiously.
Swara continued her munching and said-
I wasn't until Sanskar...and she bit her lips...
Ragini noticed it all and exclaimed-
What? Sanskar...god! Swara...
Shhh...said Swara
Ragini...don't show your excitement so much...
Sanskar is just my friend said Swara shrugging he shoulder.
" don't you friend me Swara, I am your sis, I know you very well. I am so happy for you. Did you tell him?"
Nope ragini I haven't. I ...said Swara sighing
" awww...no worries...your behena is coming in next 2 days and will have your problem solved. Even I want to see this Sanskar"...said ragini with a chuckle.
Swara exclaimed- in 2 days...you are coming... Yipeee...that's great behena.
And the sisters talked about stuffs from Kolkata and USA with emotions of love, the sibling affection and care and above all happiness and smile all around .
