Shades Of SwaRon

He is...Passionate

"No Sharon, you can't go to work in such a state!" Swayam exclaimed.

"But why?! I said I'm fine, look at me! I just have a little fever and a bit of cold" Sharon tried to convince him.

"You call it A BIT OF COLD? You're sneezing every thirty seconds! And I don't understand the reason why are you insisting on coming when you know you're not well!" Swayam asked with confusion.

"It's just that, it's Monday today, the first day of the week, and I don't want to stay at home, you know I love my job! Besides, what will I do alone at home? You'll be at the office and perhaps return late, Kiara will go to school! And to add up to I'm sick so I won't even be able to do any extra curricular activities!" She justified herself.

"Okay I understand your reason, but you know you're not well and that there are high chances that your infection may spread to other people, our employees. I know you don't want that to happen. I promise I'll come early today and then we'll watch your favourite show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Deal?" He asked.

"Deal! And I'll miss you!" she said with a frown.

Swayam couldn't help but smile at her cute little frown as he bid her a good-bye with a forehead kiss.

Swayam leaves for office. Sharon gets Kiara ready for school and drops her at the bus stop.

Sharon:

What am I gonna do now! Getting sick is the worst, Ugh I feel so sick! I groan. Umm...Should I paint? The last time I remember I'd painted, I'd ended up messing the entire room. Nope bad idea Sharon! Umm...what should I do?
Having no other alternative, I begin to write.

Dear Diary,

I'm sick today and bored at the same time. I'm sorry for not letting you know what all happened in the past weekend. Well, yesterday that is Sunday, we went to the carnival and later for dinner. Swayam and I couldn't help but giggle when we saw Kiara gleaming with excitement when she sat for the kid's giant wheel. She asked us puzzled in her cute angelic voice "What are you laughing at Mumma and Dadda?" We told her how her excitement reminded us of our childhood, how I always used to make fun of Swayam because of the nauseating feeling that he always used to get after sitting in the giant wheel. Reminiscing the good old days felt so good. It was a lot of fun, we enjoyed our family time. I feel so blessed. Okay I gotta go now, bye Diary!

My writing is interrupted as my phone beeps with a reminder that says 'Plan for Swayam'. Oh yeah! How can I forget Swayam's birthday is just a week away. I need to plan a lot of things for him. Priya and Arjun, our PA's insisted that they wanted to plan a surprise for Swayam. Oh my God! I have a lot to plan, but where should I start from! Well according to my list, the first thing that I have to begin with is narrate Swayam's story. Let me just jot down few points, because I don't want it to seem like a speech. I begin to write some of our most cherished memories just because I don't want to miss any of them. I also jot down some of the best qualities of Swayam, which I absolutely love and adore. I have just one left as I begin to think what could be the last one.

Well! Since I had met Swayam, he was always so dedicated and determined to set up his own empire. I still remember the day when he told me about his dream. I laughed as a five year old who didn't understand the value of dreaming. As I grew up I understood him and admired him for his dedication and for who he was. And as time flew, I realized how important it was for him to achieve his goal. I'm still in awe as to how he balanced his life, focusing on his dreams yet balancing his relationship with me. Not everybody is successful in balancing these two essential things in life. Most of the people end up choosing one of them, eventually; either leading to a heartbreak that is losing their loved one, or they have to compromise and give up on their dream job. Well describing this thing, the way he balanced his love and dream, in a word...He is...umm...a word...showing his passion for me, for his love, and his passion for his dream,

He is...Passionate!
