Tashan-e-Ishq

Chapter 16

Swara was on the driving seat, Sanskar sat on passenger while Vicky occupied the backseat, "waise Swara why do you hate the guy what's his name ..... haan Veer Aashna's boyfriend" asked Vicky, Swara scrunched her nose at the mention of his name, "ohh please partner aap abhi uska naam leke mera mood kyu kharab kar rahe ho yaar bana banaya mood kharab kar rahe ho aap" said scoffed, "arrey yaar par bol toh aisa kya kiya hai usne... haan woh thoda namuna lagta hai" said at the end with a chuckle, "thoda nahi woh bahut bada namuna hai, I guess aap logo pata hai Mukesh Agarwal... naam suna hoga", "Agarwal industries ke, I mean it's owned by Durga Prasad Agarwal" said Sanskar with a confusion, Swara looked at him and nodded,"yeah Mukesh Agarwal unke cousin hai and he too holds pata nahi kitne shares (said with a uninterested expression making Sanskar chuckle inward) toh yeh Veer unka bigada hua shehzada hai, the rich spoilt brat of the city usko sirf 2 cheezein aati hai ladkiya ghumana or apne baap ke paise udana bas sirf ek baar uss ullu ka asli chehra Ashi ke samne aajaye phir main uske chehre ka design hi change kar dungi" said gritting her teeths, Vicky looked at Sanskar who too had his eyes on her, was watching her with amused look. "Toh tumne kabhi try kiya to tell her about him" asked Vicky looking at Sanskar, "nahi I mean agar main ya phir Divi usko bolde yaa phir main usse 2 thapad marke bhi samajh sakte hai" said Swara, "then you can do that rather than conspiring plan" said Sanskar with seriousness, "kyunki it would be just temporary solution", Vicky who was looking at Sanskar, asked to know her views, "matlab", "I mean agar mere kehne se woh usse alag ho bhi jaye than I wouldn't take him out of her mind and heart, she would feel that shayad main galat hu at one or the other point of life, so it's very important ki sachai uske samne aaye so that uske sar pe se uska bukhar puri tarah se nikal jaye" said her thoughts not realising it was affecting the two guys, Sanskar looked at the mirror to find Vicky already staring at him, this is exactly what his friends did with him, this was the exact reason of them to make a plan to expose his ex, now he realised whatever they did was for a strong reason, he felt blessed to have such friends and also maybe lucky to have such wife who's wildly crazy at the same time mature. Sanskar had a smile looking at Vicky, he too smiled wholeheartedly understanding his emotions, Swara not getting any response looked at them saw them smiling at eachother, "kya hua aap dono aise smile kyu kar rahe ho", they broke their eye contact, "aarey we were just impressed with your thoughts, I mean you care for your friend so much" said Vicky, "hmm ab karna toh padega hi jaisi bhi dost hai or uske sar se uska so called pyaar ka bhoot utarna mera kartavya hai" said with a pride. "Waise tell me don't you believe in love I mean tumhe kabhi kisi se pyaar nahi hua hai kya" asked Vicky with a teasing look, Sanskar glared him, "nahin mera aap jitna case bigada hua nahi hai" said Swara with a teasing smile, "matlab", "matlab jaise aap pyaar se or commitment se bhagte ho mera waisa nahi hai" said making Sanskar chuckle and now Vicky glared him. "Tum mera chodo apna batao" asked again, "well I was never in love ... yeah I do love alot of them like family, friends, khana, choco shake aur bhi bahut cheezein hai but now the kind of love you're talking about... the Ishq wala love type ... as mujhe yeh relationship, gf bf wala fanda kabhi samajh nahi aaya so no relationships and no Ishq happened" said dramatically making Vicky chuckle at her words, Sanskar too had a smile at his crazy wife, "so you don't believe in love" asked Vicky, "Maine aisa nahi kaha I do believe in love .... comeon yaar I have grown up watching love stories", "ohh ddlj", "naah bilkul nahi bollywood wali love stories dekhe insaan ko pyaar se vishwas hi utt jaye I mean they'll are way too dramatic" said sighing, "then which love stories you are talking about", "the real love stories (Vicky gave a confused look, so did Sanskar) arrey yaar mere parents ki love marriage hui hai, intercaste, they had to face all the obstacles to end up marrying eachother, or Ragini too had a love marriage, Mamu-Babe, Bhaiya-Bhabhi they'll too had love marriage, I have seen their love but meri favourite love story hai... "you're parents right" said Vicky interrupting, "no ... I mean yeah their love story is iconic but mera favourite hai Dida and Nanu's love story, it's the most classic and iconic, the kind of love I manifest" said Swara with a bright smile. "Wow interesting, aisa kya special hai unki love story mein" asked looking at his bestfriend's eyes glow looking at his wife smile. "Bahut special or bahut hi interesting love story hai unki as you know Nanu was in army, they couldn't stay in touch and at that period they had no phones to contact, they used to write letters, that's so romantic, Dida has kept all the letters safe. You know their love wasn't easy at all, today Nanu is not with us physically but Dida has kept him alive, his love alive, kehte hai naa mar bhi jaaye pyaar wale, mit bhi jaye pyaar wale unki mohabbat zinda rehti hai that's the true definition of a real love story" said Swara with a twinkling smile, Vicky and Sanskar too admired the love story of Dida and Nanu had a smile, "true yaar bahut hi amazing love story hai, sunke mujhe lag raha even I want to fall in love" said Vicky, "huh huh aap galat bol rahe ho partner, you shouldn't fall in love because everything that falls breaks" said Swara making Vicky give her a impressive look, "kafi deep tha", "hain naa itna deep tha ki doob gaye" said Swara, both bursted out laughing, Sanskar shaked his head. "Chalo yaar mera safar yahin par khatam hota hai so bye guys g'night" said Vicky, Swara stopped the car at his house, he got down, they bid him bye and again drove towards their home.
Swara was driving, she glanced at Sanskar who was looking straight, "hmm main music on karu" said with a teasing smile, he said immediately "no" loudly making her laugh, he too started laughing after some time, "aapki shakal dekhne layak thi, jaise aapne no bola" said imitating him, he shaked his head, "aap ka music system change kar na padega, aap naa saare punjabi loud music dalna maza aayega drive karte waqt" said grinning, "tumhe Punjabi aati hai" asked, "arrey Punjabi kya mujhe marwadi aati hai, bengali, hindi english and marathi, I can understand telugu as bhabhi ka mother tongue hai" said counting and thinking, "baki sab theek hai but Marathi" asked confused, "woh main jab Mumbai gayi thi I stayed as tenant in a authentic Marathi family toh unke sath reh ke aagaya almost, aapko pata hai unke head of the family hai unko sab Anna Saheb bolte hai and........" And there she went saying about the family and her stay, what all she did and he kept listening to her with concentration, how it is that a guy who doesn't tolerate over talking is enjoying senseless talks of a girl, why not it's his crazy wife. They reached, he kept smiling at her talks, she saw him lost while smiling, even her smiles curved in a smile, "aaho" said loudly breaking in his thoughts, he looked at her, "what", "marathi mein wife's apne husband ko aisi hi bulati hai, aaho" said with a teasing smile, "tumne yeh sikha hai", "arrey nahi, woh Anna Saheb ko unki wife Bhavani kaku aise hi bulati hai toh main badi curious thi toh I asked their daughter, Mitali Tai, toh she said ki ladies apni pati ko naam se nahi bulati so they call Aaho", explained him, he was like unbelievable. "But you can call me by name" said, "haan par Swara Gadodia unique cheezein hi karti hai" said smirking, "maheshwari" said Sanskar reminding her, "haan wahi wahi, ab utarna nahi hai kya yahin saari raat gampe marna hai" said getting down, he shaked his head and got down.
Both entered their room, changed and slept, Swara was holding his finger and sleeping by morning it was Sanskar who had his fingers warmed softly around her wrist, Swara woke up to find him holding her, she removed his hand and got freshen up. She after completing her routine got bathed came out to find him still sleeping, she saw the time it's 8am, he's a early riser so she checked his forehead found normal temperature, it means he's fine. She started waking him up, "Sanskar", she called him few times but seems he's deep in sleep, she shaked him, but instead of waking up he pulled the comforter and turned other side. She huffed, "yeh toh kumbhkaran nikale yaar aap toh apna wala tareeke hi use karna padega" said looked around, took the glass of water, removed the comforter from his face and poured water. He sat up, all his sleep flew away, he saw his wife, standing with a empty glass, "what the hell" said loudly, "maine kitna try kiya utane ka but aap ghode bhej ke so rahe the, I had no option" said making a innocent smile, "really" said with a fake smile, she nodded innocently, he got down ran behind her, "arrey aap toh mujhe thank you bolna chahiye" said running, "haan ruko thank you bolta hu", "no, accha sorry phir se nahi karungi pakka" said stopping, he too stopped, "sure", he asked huffing due to running, she nodded and walked back  a lil and threw the remaining water, closed the door and ran downstairs. Sanskar was again drenched in water, he yelled loudly, "Swara", his mom who was in hall, heard him shouting and her eyes fell on Swara who came running. "Kya hua tum aise bhag kyu rahi ho or yeh kittu chila kyu raha hai" asked confused, "bechare unko bhukh laga hai" said hiding her smile, "huh kya matlab", "kuch nahi kab se try kar rahi hu udane ki nahi ute isliye pani dala" said and end up laughing, Sujata too burst out laughing, she stopped after sometime, "badmash aise pareshan karte hai mere bete ko" said fake glaring, she giggled inturn making Sujata too smiled, "chalo ab nashta laga na hai nahi toh phir se chillane lagega" said making her giggle more.
Everyone gathered at dining hall, Sanskar too walked down in a vest and trousers, he looked at Swara who was giggling silently making him glare her, she immediately look down. "good morning", he greeted and sat on his chair, Swara took her seat beside him, "aap pani lenge" said controlling her giggle, "no thanks" he said with a tight lip smile, she again looked down and giggled, he bent towards her a lil, whispered in her ear, "chupchap khana khao nahi toh swimming pool mein fekh dunga", she widened her eyes looked at him, he smirked a lil, she pouted and focused on eating. Others who noticed their interaction smiled, they were happy that Sanskar looked happy, he has a certain joy on his face from the time Swara has arrived. "Waise aaj Sunday hai, kya plan hai, kahi bahar chale" asked Ram, "haan dad bahar chalte hai it will fun what say" said Uttara excitedly making others smile. "Haan par Swara se toh pucho usse kaha jana hai, bolo shona tumhe kahan jana hai hum wahin jaayenge" said Sujata, "haan Shona" said Ram, they looked at her, even Sanskar looked at her.
