13 # It's Her!

Hi all

  Happy Reading. Please do let me know your thoughts. A star and a few words.

What the eyes see, the mind does deny

What the heart knows the mind turns a blind eye

Oh, when, oh when will you see and learn

That Swara is the very girl for whom you yearn...

Sanskaar was in one of his best moods that morning, as he drove to the office. From the moment he decided he would admit his feelings to Swara, everything felt new. He woke up with a smile, a new sense of euphoria. He took an extra care to dress his best and stared at his reflection for more than few minutes ...than usual

Buttoning his shirt cuffs, He imagined all the smiles Swara would give him and of course his most favorite expression at those 3 words.

'You are special'

Swara is the first one he's gonna say those words. Masked girl.. crossed his mind for a minute. Maybe she would have been the first one ...but now it's too late. If Swara would be willing to take it ahead, he will put all his efforts push away any lingering memories of that night and start clean.

Shouldn't be tough with Swara around!

He smiled, picked his laptop bag, had a super quick breakfast for his focus was on to reach office at earliest. He turned on FM...the song played was just the right one he needed. A soothing romantic number in voice of Atif Aslam

Tere kareeb aa raha hoon

Khud se main door jaa raha hoon

Yeh bewajah toh nahi hai

Tu jo mila...

He couldn't figure out the reason he's being drawn only to Swara last few weeks..and now he didn't want to. He would be led by his heart.

Dheere dheere se tera hua

Haule haule se tera hua

Rafta rafta tera hua...

Sanskaar greeted everyone with an extra beaming smile. As he neared his cabin, he felt a twinge of nervousness, but eagerness to see Swara was more predominant. He drew in a deep breath and stepped in.

She was right before his eyes ....but what's wrong? She looked dull and lifeless, stood up and gave him an awkward glance. No smile, No spark.

"Swara .. "he took a step forward.

Morning Sir...

He turned around at familiar voice and before him was Rosy.

Darn! was his first feeling. Then he listened as she explained how things settled down and went on thanking for rendering support at tough times. Sanskaar listened but his eyes drifted to Swara every now and then who had her head immersed into project book.

Is she upset because Rosy is back? Of Course, she would be. Wasn't he? Oh Yes! very much as his time with Swara would be cut short in great proportions...
