Part 9
Yet another beautiful morning in Goa, sunrays waking up the beautiful Gadodia girls. Swara was first awake. Its not normal but she wasn't going to waste her time In her sleep. She got up with an angelic smile and went directly to the window and watched outside. Just then someone knocked.
Swara opened the door to see her parents wishing her good morning already dressed up.
"Morning" Sharmishta and Shekhar entered giving her a side hug. "you guys r not ready... Ragu get up" sharmishta pulled the blanket that woke up Ragini very easily.
"Morning maa...papa" Ragini greeted in her sleepy voice.
"Morning now come on get up and get ready we r waiting for you guys down. We will have breakfast together.
"Ok you guys go a head we will join you in a while" swara closed the door after thy left and told Ragini she is going to take a bath and strictly told her to not go back to sleep.
"Yar swara how come you get up early which its not your habit.. And yesterday we slept so late." Ragini yawned and lied back.
"Well I'm so excited that I don't even want to sleep and you know na today where we r going so I'm so excited to go there that even my sleep disappeared." Swara shouted excitedly at her sister as she was closing the bathroom door.
After ten mins she came out and woke up Ragini to go and freshen up.
About 30 mins later they come out of their room and headed down to join their parents. While walking down swara saw Ragini checking her phone repeatedly.
"Rags what happened your looking at your phone every time"
"Ha actually today laksh didn't call.. he always calls in the mornings."
"Ohh maybe he is caught up with something or maybe its already late so he might have thought that you r already with maa baba and any ways he will call later so don't worry." Ragini was a bit calm but she was not herself because she was used of starting her day with his phone calls.
They went and sat with their parents and had their breakfast. After that they left for site seeing. The day was very nice and hectic, as always after a lot of enjoinment and fun. The night had came and swaragini went to the beach leaving their tired parents to go back to their room and grab some rest.
Swaragini were walking on the beach. Swara talking non stop when after a while she noticed that Ragini was lost again.
"Yar Ragini here I'm speaking nonstop and you r not even listening to me.. where r you lost" swara shook her lightly.
"no nothing what were you saying sorry I didn't hear you" Ragini answered with a small smile which swara knew it was a fake one.
"hey what wrong you look tensed every thing ok? Is it regarding laksh?" swara turned Ragini to make her face her. Ragini would always share every problem with swara either happy or sad.
"noo.. I mean yes. Actually laksh hasn't called yet and you know na he always calls at these times but look he also didn't call now. I'm really tensed." Ragini shared her stress with swara.
Don't worry... and why don't you call him... come on m sure you can afford credit to talk to him" swara teased her a bit which brought back her smile.
"ok let me call him"
ya plzz.. I cant look at your scary face for so long" swara smiled at her joke letting her smile too. Of course Ragini knew the actual meanings of her statement. She knew very well that swara would never like to see her so sad and it was the same with her.
Ragini took out her phone and started dialing laksh number. But the female voice came saying its not reachable. She shared it with swara which increased her tension. She started blabbering to swara why the phone was not reachable.
"don't worry I have uttara's number let me call her maybe she is with laksh." Swara tried to calm her down and took out her phone and dialed uttara's number but to her surprise it was also not reachable. She told Ragini the same.
After a number times of trying they heard a voice from behind.
"hii girls" first they were scared but then Ragini recognized the voice
"laksh" Ragini turned leaving swara confused
"laksh?" swara thought to her self before she turned.
When they turned they saw him smiling showing all his teeth. Ragini run to him. Laksh using the opportunity he hugged her right away.
"laksh you here.. I mean how come" Ragini asked pulling back from the hug.
"haa actually I just reached.." laksh looking at Swaragini's confused face he continued. "actually I thought to also come and enjoy Goa with you" he turned to Ragini seeing the confusion decreasing.
"laksh that so nice but you r here alone" Ragini asked him
"no actually adarsh babhi uttara and sanskar bhai came too"
hearing to sanskar's name swara's confused look turned to a smiling one.
"ohh so sanskar also came" swara jumped making raglak confused why she sounded so excited
"I mean uttara and adarsh bhai and bhabi also came it would be nice na..." she tried to cover up, herself not knowing why she was so happy with sanskar coming.
"laksh where r the others?" Ragini was so excited to meet the other.
"Ragini forget them and meet me first" laksh started teasing again letting the two smile. "and any way they have went to check in at the hotel they r really tired so they wanted to take rest."
Swara's face turned to a sad one, she wanted to see sanskar so badly. She doesn't know why she is behaving like this but she was liking it too.
"ahhm ok guys I'll leave you two some privacy. Laksh you can drop Ragini later" swara teased them a bit and immediately left them running back to the hotel hopping that he might be still at the reception. Sanskar.
As she entered she was looking all around when she noticed uttara. She run to her knowing that they will be together.
"hii uttara" swara shouted from behind running to hug her. Uttara was also happy to meet her and hugged her back.
"Its so nice to see you guys here."
"ha yar im also happy to be here. And very excited to spend this trip with you guys." uttara replied back with full excitement but she saw swara's eyes searching for something or maybe someone. She waved her hand in front of her eyes "swara what r you searching?"
Swara felt a bit embarrassed " actually I was wandering where pari bhabi and adarsh bhai r?" she tried to sound a bit normal.
"ohh actually they were tired so they already went to their room" swara smiled back at her. just then her eyes saw him. He was approaching them. He reached them and he was also very happy to see her finally after a long time.
"Hii" he forwards his hand and they shook hand. Swara felt the goose bumps and he also felt something but they both decided to ignore it.
"Bhai did you get my keys?"
"Yaa" he handed her the keys and uttara leaved them saying she was tired and she will see them in the morning.
Both where looking at each other not saying anything, after a while sanskar broke the silence.
"how r you"
"good and you"
"ya I'm fine" both where exchanging smiles. "Ahhm I guess Ragini is with laksh"
"ya I thought to leave them alone and not became kababa me hadi and look I saw you guys"
both laughed a bit of course she knew how fast she was running to meet them. Actually HIM.
"Ahh well I guess it quite late and I'm really tired.. see you tmrw...goodnight" sanskar looked at the time and excused him self.
" Ya good night I was also heading to my room" swara answered back.
"Ohh which floor?" he asked normally
"Number 4" she answered as they were going toward the lift.
"Ohh im also on the same floor" he smiled back at her.
They entered the lift and were silent through the whole journey, just smiling at each other. The lift opened and they got out both heading to their rooms saying goodnight for the second time.
Next day a new morning and a new beginning, this time both sisters got up with the first alarm. They wished each other and got up to get ready. Both were excited for the day. While they were busy getting ready Ragini's smiley face turned to a tensed one. She turned and asked swara.
"swara" she shouted which shocked her
"what's wrong why r you shouting... were in the same room" she answered a bit disturbed.
"swara laksh is here so that we can spend time together, but.." she said as she was going towards her.
"but what" swara asked not getting what her sister meant.
"swara we are here for a family holiday"
"I know that Ragini" swara turned and opened the cupboard to take something when it strike her
"ohh shoot it means it would be hard to spend time with them..." She turned to Ragini showing her no idea look I wont be able to spend time with sanskar' swara thought to herself. swara what happened to you why you always relate every thing back to him...' she shook her head and told her self to concentrate and ignored what ever was coming in to her mind.
"swaraa" Ragini shook her asking where she is lost sighing with her hands
"I was thinking how its going to be... any way you don't worry we will think of something" swara smiled sadly and both finished their final touches and headed down to join their parents.
When they reached the dining room swaragini saw their parents seating with someone but they could see who it was. They were facing his back. They looked at each other giving the questioning look then started going towards them. Shekhar noticed them coming and smiled at them. When they reached they wished them good morning then turned to the guy. Both were shocked. The guy and swaragini just kept looking at each other.
"girls meet him.. he is sanskar" yes it was non other than sanskar. Sanskar smiled normally not showing any shocked expression where one the other side they were very nervous. Shekhar told them to sit down. After that he told them how he met sanskar.
"actually we met in the lift. He is also here for a holiday with his siblings." Swasan sat opposite to each other and smiled normally when Shekhar was talking and praising sanskar. Where Ragini was going to die out of nervousness. Sanskar noticed her and gestured her not to worry through his eyes. Swara saw that and smiled at his sweet gesture he made to Ragini. About 5-6 mins later laksh and the others came down and spotted sanskar with swaragini he was going toward them when he stopped to see his future sasur sitting with them. Adarsh and others also stopped at laksh and spotted the reason
"is that your future father-in-law?" adarsh asked and laksh nodded
"but bhai is also there" laksh asked confused
"come on lets join him and act normally" adarsh answered then turned to uttara telling her to act as if she doesn't know swaragini. Adarsh knew that if sanskar was there then maybe he might have thought of something so that they don't spoil his plan they decided to act as if they didn't know swaragini.
"sanskar" adarsh called from behind pulling their attention on them.
"oh bhai come let me introduce you" sanskar got up and pulled his brothers. "uncle this is my older cousin brother adarsh and this is his wife Parineeta this is my younger sister uttara and this is your..." swaragini and the others turned to him shockingly but thank god he didn't utter more "I mean my cousin like friend laksh" sanskar smiled naughtily at laksh which was noticed by swara. She was surprised that the guy who she has always seen silent can also tease.
"and bhai this is Shekhar uncle and his wife sharmishta aunty and these r their daughters" sanskar finished up like a good introducer.
They all greeted each other and decided to sit together. Sanskar also told them how he met them in the lift. With that they all had break fast together. All where happy especially raglak. They were happy that laksh first meeting with Shekhar turned to be ok even if without knowing that he is his daughter's boyfriend.
