Part 4
It was time for results.
Sir annouced,15 groups had qualified for further round. Ours was among last 5. Not so good result but we had qualified.
I was super happy. Not only because we qualified but because I could be with sanskaar for few more weeks.
Back in our project room, sanskaar motivated all of us to work harder and be in top positions this time. And I was willing to help him in anyway,as an incharge of my group as well as an individual who wanted to be with him
in any way.
We worked harder this time. We qualified in next three rounds also,but with higher positions.
we were happy, still there was much more to achieve.
We had become good friends by then.sanskaar and I shared good moments as friends. We ate together ,worked together and even laughed together. It had been almost 4 weeks since we were working for our project.
My holidays were all over by then but I continued with my project along with my studies.
It was wednesday evening when we were working late for our project as only two days were left for the last fourth round.
We both were bit tired.
"Swara!"he called out my name.
-"Yes sanskaar,what happened? Do you need any help?"
"No,I just wanted to..."
-"Wanted to?"
"Can we go out for a walk?I wanted to spend some time with my friend:)"
I was so surprised. First time in 4weeks he asked me this. Till now we had not got any chance to be together alone. We always worked and stayed together but in our project room along with our other friends.
We talked alot but had never got chance like this. This time it will be sanskaar and I only . my face reflected this happiness.I immediatly agreed.
-"Ofcourse sanskaar.I ll definitly go out with you." I smiled. He too smiled.
We went out in a park at the back of our university.
There were few other persons there but far from our path.
We walked together. I was loving it very much. It was 5 mins since we had not spoken a single word.
"Swara, What's your dream about your career?"
I smiled,"Sanskaar, till now only my mom n Dida knows about my dream.Its first time I m going to tell someone else.
I want to be a reputed Fashion Designer."
"O wow,Miss. Swara Bose- A famous fashion designer"
I laughed and then smiled looking at him. He was looking at me sweetly. Every time he looked at me like this,something happened in my heart.
His eyes were full of truthfulness and innocence.
"Swara,thank you for trusting me so much,you found me worth knowing your dream "
-"Sanskaar, you a special friend of mine."
"Really!"
-"Yes."
He smiled.
"I hope swara you succeed in your career soon"
I was bit worried but managed to smile not letting him know my worry behind my smile.
There was again a silence of few minutes.suddenly I remembered something. Flash back of Priya's wedding when I hit him.
"Sanskaar,hows your bruise now?"
"Haha,Swaraaa!"
"Why are you laughing?"
"Its been a month swara! I m completly fine. You are saying as if somebody had shot me with a bullet..."
I immediatly put my hand on his mouth preventing him to speak further.
"Never say such a thing ever again Sanskaar!"
We had an eyelock.
After few seconds,
I removed my hand from his mouth.
I was about to go when he held my hand.
My heartbeats stopped for few seconds. I was breathing heavily.
I turned around. He stared at me. He pulled me towards him,held my hands in his.
"Swara, you are not an ordinary girl. I mean you have something special in you. You are honest, you are caring,loving and a brave girl :)"
I was smiling. And he continued.
"I promise,whenever you need me. Just call me once and I ll be there for you at any time.remember sanskaar will always be there for you." He smiled and left my hands softly.
I was teary eyed. His words echoed in my ears. They had touched my heart.My heart beat faster this time.I was lost in the moment. I was smiling
no one spoke anything further. It was almost half an hour since we were out and it was time to go back to work.
We went. After sometime we went back to our homes. I could not come out of those feelings for a single second. I was loving each and every moment . It was so special.
I slept at 2 am that night. Woke up early in the morning with a smile on my face and memories and flash backs of last evening in my mind.
I went to university and we all worked towards completion of our project.
On saturday our sir called all of us to the main hall. We all were excited as well as worried. He told us that only 5 teams will qualify further. Only 3 rounds were left for end results.
And he announced 5 teams including ours. We all were super happy and congratulated each other. I could not believe it and was very happy. But soon my happiness fainted when sir annouced 15 days break for next round.
How would I stay without him? It had become habit to see his face every day,to listen to his sweet voice, to get killed by his killing smile.
And I guess he noticed my sadness.
"Swaraaa!!!"He called me anxiously.
-"Ya"
"Why are you not happy?"
-"No, I m very happy. Finally we have qualified for last three rounds "
"But you dont seem to be happy,tell me what happened"
-" umm ummm nothing"
"Are you sad as you wont meet me for next two weeks?"
I was shell shocked. How he knew? My eyes grew wider. Did he know about my feelings? Or did he feel the same?
Before i could understand anything or come to any conclusion, He burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, I was kidding swara.afterall I m your friend.Don't I have this right?"
How could I say him what I wanted to say; he had rights more than he thought. He was not only a simple friend. He had become my closest friend and may be more than that. I trusted him completly.
-"Ofcourse sanskaar you can say anything"
Soon after saying all this I went towards project room. He might have been wondering why I avoided further talk,but I wanted to go home soon now.
All other group members came to the project room. We all bid goodbye to eachother. Sanskaar smiled at me and said "Dont forget me swara!" And smiled mischieviously.
He didnt know that I could not forget him for a single second and a single thought of staying away from him was killing me. However, I could not do anything or say anything.
"Take care sanskaar." I bid him goodbye too with a sad face. May be he had noticed it this time too.
