BEST FRIENDS

Chapter 50

Its morning and Swaragini has waked up early without anyone's force or I should say they have not slept in the excitement due to their newly found love.
Swara: lado, do you think boys are going to come today for pooja???
Ragini: No, I mean see the clock shona. It's 5:30 of the morning and I am sure about lucky that he would not have waked so early so topper won't come also.
Swara: (in a disappointed tone) Hmmm.
Ragini: Oh don't be sad shona they will obviously join us for family breakfast and then evening also we are going to meet. (Ragini gets lost in her dreams)
Swara: Ohoo lado is lost in dreamland with lucky.
Ragini (still in trance): yeah... no...no I was thinking about evening, their planning.
Swara: whatever topper will plan but I am not going to criticize and I will try my best to not laugh.
Ragini: me too.

Sumi: come down princesses.
Swara: maa, just five minutes our hairs are wet.
Sumi: Princesses come down please get that towel to wrap your hairs.
Ragini: let's go shona otherwise maa will hold roof over her head.
Swaragini comes downstairs and takes everyone's blessings and wish Rahryan through their eyes but for their shock Rahryan didn't reply.
Swaragini sit for pooja. Just then Dp and Ap comes and both the girls look at the door with the hope that there is another person who will come but for their disappointment no one came.
Sumi: Ap come pooja has just started.
Swara mutters: They didn't come. If they had to then they would have come because being a Marwari I don't think uncle believes in using two cars for 4 people. Which kind of friend they are??? Can't they do this much for us???
Ragini hears that.
Ragini gives a 'I know. I feel the same' face.
After some time they hear Sanlak's voice greeting everyone but when they turn they don't find them. After sometime again they hear sanlak's voice and shona start turning to look to the source of voice but Ragini stops her through her eyes.
Ragini whispers, only audible to swara: No shona, there is no one behind us it's just our illusions. We have not slept last night that's why we are seeing them everywhere.
Swara gives a miserable look but agrees to her sister.
Priest announces the end of pooja and asks Swaragini to distribute sweets.
Swaragini distribute everyone sweets and goes to Sanlak(now after so much smoke of burning wood and camphor in their eyes they are feeling a bit sleepy and their heads are weighing tons). Swaragini sees them but due to their heavy heads they think it's an illusion and murmurs something.
Swara in a shaking voice: lado we need a sleep (which is not obviously understandable by Sanlak, only one person can understand her every time and even now with her shaking voice, her soulmate, her sister Ragini).
Ragini let's go.
And swaragini leaves.
Sanlak look at leaving swaragini and then at each other.
Sanskar: what happened???
Laksh: don't know.
Swaragini goes to Sumi.
Seeing their state sumi understood that it's due to smell of camphor so tells them to rest until breakfast is ready. (obviously laksh does not now about that camphor matter because for the first time he is attending this pooja).
Swaragini goes to their room.
Swara: oh god my head is weighing million tons
Ragini: and mine is billion.
They both fed up of the extra weight on head due to that damn towel remove the towel and unwrap their long, silky but wet hairs.
They both sit on their respective dressing table to dry it by using a drier.
Both the boy enters and for a minute their feet froze to see their respective girl with blowing hairs. They thought to enter but they did not as they both know entry in room will make them stop the work whatever they are doing.
Swaragini notice them in mirror.
Swara: lado. I know incomplete sleep makes a person mad but this much madness due to incomplete sleep of just one night.
Ragini: oh shona, you know na we are sleeping heads. Even high school exams had not the power to keep us away from sleep and the boys did it. May be that is why we are assuming them here.
Sanlak feel proud that they are able to keep the sleep away from the cutest and most beautiful girl in the world.
Swara: oh yes but for now I am going to take a nap. I miss my sleep.
Swaragini in unison: sleep our closest friend.
Sanlak chuckle and give a loud laugh.
Swaragini get up form their respective chair and come to Sanlak.
Swara: you don't have the right to laugh.
Sanlak get shocked and think that these half sleeping beauty are out of their sleeping trance now.
Ragini: you both are our assumption. You will do whatever we will say you to do.
Sanlak thinks to continue the drama. Sanlak nod in yes.
Swara: oh good. Now hug me I want to rest.
Sanskar think that it is not right to take the advantage of a sleeping angel and you can say that it's his fear also which is stopping him. He is afraid that when swara will come back in with full open eyes then definitely she is never gonna leave him.
Sanskar goes to get them out of sleeping trance but laksh stops him saying it is just a hug.
Sanksar agrees because maybe a small part of him is making him scared but and feel guilty but a large part of him wants to hug his lost angel and to show this girl off to his that part of mind who always had underestimated him that he does not deserve a friend and no girl will ever agree to be with him.
So he let his fear and guilt to lose the conflict from his urge to hug his newly found love. Sanskar hugs swara and swara snakes her arm over his back to give herself a comfortable position so that she could take a nap on his chest. She smiles and let herself fly in her dreams of future life with the boy who has changed her life, who has made her believe that love does exist and god gives everyone the chance to feel it. He is the one who has completed her. And now she will never ever let him go away.
