Part -7
~ Stay Away~
The next evening-
Perhaps taking the complement he gave too seriously this evening her knee length night dress wasn't black but strawberry pink. She held blush wine in one hand n the other held a magazine. Her eyes showed her anger.
The interior of her mansion was changed; from grey-back curtains to pink n white. Coffee furnitures to beage. The dim lights replaced with the more luminous tubes. Even though this sudden light wasn't easy for her to adjust she yet have changed them. Perhaps this is how love kills the Devil.
Sw- Juliet (her maid)
Juliette - yes madam.
Sw- I asked that replace my Balck roses with the red ones. Is it done?
J- yes Ma'am just a few left. Tommorow it will be done.
She nodded her head mixing the blush wine in a circular fashion in her glass. Her eyes drilling holes on the floor this time. Some where she was perplexed, weather she liked the change or she wasn't enjoying it.
What was the strange feeling, somewhere she took his complement too seriously. Pink suits her more than black.
Think of the Devil and devil appears. The call Bell rang and as Juliet pulled the door she found Sanskaar there.
J- good evening sir. May...
Sa- (cuts) Good evening beautiful. Sanskaar here. Can I have the pleasure to meet Miss Bose.
Before Juliet could react she heard the tigress roar.
Sw- let him enter.
Juliet shifted aside giving him space to enter.
He held the hands of the maiden n pecked them. She was shocked.
Sa- Juliet u have beautiful hands dear.
He winked and walked in. Swara rested her head on the couch . Seeing him enter she threw the glass utensil on his face.
Somehow Sanskaar manged to girp it. He could see rage dripping from her, but truely this girl made his temper hit high as well. He broke the upper part of the glass n moved to her. She narrowed her eyes as he strod towards her, she - The virago.
She lit a cigarette n filled her lungs with the grey smoke. She exhaled a cloud out when crossing the mist he held her ankle that rested on the glass table. Her red eyes glared him with pure Rage at his abrupt act.
He without paying heed to it pulled her ankle n the next moment her body was crushed under his weight. The both lye over the couch before things got more embarrassing Juliet left.
Swara Inhaled the smoke once again and released it on his face.
Sa- (turning his face the other side)- what the HELL. What is this Swara.
He caught her hand n extinguised the cigarette in the ash try forcefully.
Sw- Don't u dare force me to do anything. No body dose.
Sa- I can. And I am daring u beware because I am the Daredevil.
He rolled the broken sharp glass on her face.
Swara laughed a bitter laughter.
Sw- Mr. Maheshwari I am no s**t and this is no bawdy house it is my place my den n u r not allowed here so go away.
Sa- y .. shona y should I.
Sw- don't call me that.
Sa- y don't u love me. I did not force u last night okay.
Sw- Get LOST. I hate u . I hate it when u come close.
Sa- DON'T name Ur fears as ur HATE.
Swara held his hand n turned the sharp edge glass n rested the motion when the killing tool rested on the crook of his neck.
Sw- I am the lioness baby n this is my den. I am afraid of nothing.
Sanskaar grabbed her hand tight enough to make her wince in pain, loosening her grip on the broken glass as he threw it away shattering it into small pieces.
Sa- swara accept it u r afraid of me. U r afraid of love. U r afraid that this light of love could be venomous for the Devil in u. Hein Na swara.. say Na I am r8 Na.
Yes he was r8 indeed. But she couldn't handle this bitter truth. She had been surrounded by haterate and darkness for years. But now this sudden emergence of love and sweetness was killing her.
Sw- No Sanskaar I hate u. U just go away.
Sa(he shifted close) - no I am not. Because u love me and I know that.
Sw- no I don't.
Sa- yes u do.
Sw- NOoo...
Sa- (gritting his teeth) swara then tell me y u have changed black to pink. Y my compliments matter so much to u say it Na.
Swara lost this battle her heart won over her head. And she spilled all her secrets deep within her heart to him. Her secrets that had caged a sweet, innocent swara within her. Her dark past in whose mist she had lost herself.
Sw- (watery eyes) sanskaar yes okay I love u. I love u more than anyone else in this world but just listen to me. .
Sa- Say it swara.
It pained his heart when he saw them watery may be for the first time in so many years they had some sort of moisture.
Sw- I am born Misfortunate sanskaar. I am not fit to be loved. I have caused miseries to my loved ones. I am a criminal, I have killed 2 people. Stay away from me.
Sa- What ?
Sw- yes sanskaar I am not worthy of love but just haterate. Just haterate. I cause misfortune to all my loved ones. U just go away I won't be able to bear another loss. I won't be able to bear another crime.
He lifted himself from her. He could see deep fears in the black orbs of her eyes.
She wrapped her arms around her own self. Sanskaar tried to come close when she pushed him.
Sw- Stay Away sanskaar I will cause u misfortune. I am bad dirty and criminal.
Sanskaar was beyond shocked. He wanted to know the secrets. The wanted to extract the venom in her.
Sa- calm down ,calm down swara. Just listen to me.
He cupped her face, wipped her tears.
Sa- what are u saying just tell me, batao mujhe what had happened, who says this that u r a criminal. U r not h Na. Tell me swara.
He called Juliet with a glass of water. He made her drink. She manged to somehow speak and narrate her past to him.
Flashback
Year 2006
A 15 year old swara had already lost her mother at the time of birth. She stayed with her father, step mother and Younger sister Ragini.
Her grandmother and step mother never left a chance to taunt her and lable her as forlorn and Misfortunate.
Among all the miseries Ragini and her dad were her happiness. Ragini wasn't her real sister yet their love for eachother was more than that of real sisters. All the secrets shared, mischieves were done together.
But the December of this year was actually cold for Swara. The family was on a road trip to Shimla. When the car skid on a slippery road. Ragini covered swara. And in an effort to save her Ragini died. This broke swara. After her death she had been taunted, bad mouthed and beaten by her mother and grandmother. This time her father wasn't there for the rescue perhaps he too believe she and her misfortune killed her mother and Ragini.
A young Swara was thrown out of the house on the cold December roads to wander till death. She had endless tears in her eyes. Emmense pain in her heart. With her broken spirit she sat shivering on a Bench. Alone. She feared darkness. She was afraid of dark. She was shivering. Alas, no one to wrap a hand around. Alas, no to ask what happened. Hungry and thirsty she shivered , loosing conscious. Her lips turned blue in cold and darkness surrounded her eyes. She fell unconscious.
Her small eyes flickered as she found herself in the warm embrace of an elderly lady. Shobha Bose, her creator and mentor. She asked swara her name when she slowly whispered "Swara..."
Shobha took away all her grif she made swara feel special. She gave her a new life. A new name Bose. Gadodia family was her black past and Shobha kaki her lovely present.
Year 2010 -
Life again twisted. Shobha Kaki died and before death embrace her she asked swara to be independent and bold. She made her believe that one day an angel will come to her for sure. Alas, these next 5 years swara could only meet demons. The servants tried to molest her. The young tender 20 years old swara escaped everything. But the passing time bearing the harshness of this world turned her into the Ogress. This harsh world turned her dark black and stiff.
She became a stone hearted demon. The she Devil in her overtook all her senses. The heartbreaking betrayal drowned her in alcohol, chocked her with drugs. Or perhaps she wanted to kill herself as soon as possible. Perhaps this drugs, alcohol and smoke were slower and painfully enjoyable ways to slowly kill herself. ...
Flashback ends------
Swara agin spoke up. Her eyes big and widdened like a maniac. Her body shivering at the memories of the past. She spoke like a lunatic does.
Sw- Sanskaar.. u u. Go away Sanskaar. Or my Misfortune will kill u. Stay away from me (shifted back) I .. I am a criminal.
Sa- (moist eyes)- no.. no... Swara u r not a criminal swara. Listen to me once.
But she moved back untill she grabbed a vase n hit sanskaar with it. It injured his head, it began to bleed. He moaned in pain.
Sa- Ahh...
The blood made her lunacy go wild.
She closed her mouth.
Sw- Sanskaar..
She held his head.
Sanskaar held her hand Gentilly.
Sa- (softly) swara .. shona listen to me.
Sw- (jerking him) - No Sanskaar stay away I am a criminal. I am misfortune. Didn't u see i hurt u. See I am bad. U go away. I killed my mom and sister.
She showed her hand to him. She pushed him. Asked him to go away and continued to scream , she is Misfortunate. She is a criminal. Untill she drained all her energy, fainted and fell on the floor.
