Betrayal can be extremely painful, but it's up to you how much that pain damages you permanently!

*********************

Swara was walking but suddenly she was pulled by someone through her wrist. Her eyes widened seeing the person.

All she could say now was...

"Sanskaar......" she gasps.

"I wanted to talk to you but why you keep on ignoring me?" Sanskaar asked pulling her more closer.

"Why should I?" Swara gets out his grip. "You are just a professor and I am a student, what to do want to talk?!" Swara said blankly yet rudely.

"There is no one here to act swara." sanskaar  pulled her close to him.

"I don't need to act." swara's tone turned sternly and took off his hands harshly and started walking.

Sanskaar pulled her towards him and pinned her in the tree trunk. Before she would say anything he placed his lips and started kissing her, even thought swara wriggled but his grip was stronger. Soon she she stopped and started reciprocating loosing her sense. The kiss turned softer and passionate.

They broke the kiss due to lack of air breathing heavily. Sanskaar joint her forehead with hers.

"I love you swara!" he muttered softly which was audible only to her.

Swara closed her eyes on hearing his words.

Suddenly, a fork of lightning, brilliant and buzzing with a magnificent electricity, flashed majestically through the groaning mountain of clouds.

"You are just no one.... No one to me swara"  his words rang her ears once again.

Swara opened her eyes, getting back to sense and pushed him. Swara started walking fastly while sanskaar caught her wrist.

"Swara.... For once hear me... I'm sorry..I" sanskaar was stopped by swara.

"Sorry ha?!" swara turned towards him and pushed his hands.

"Tell me, will sorry your bring my lost life, will your sorry bring back my parents? Tell me sanskaar, if yes the I will whole heartedly accept your sorry." swara said bluntly.

"But.... I" sanskaar was again stopped by swara.

"Was loving you wrong? Tell me.... tell me, was all the moments I spent with you were fake?.. I saw love in your eyes for me was that a lie?.... Tell me..." swara caught his collars shaking him while sanskaar was speechless.

"You broke me, you killed me, you turned my colourful life into a colourless one..... Why did you play with my feelings sanskaar why?..... Didn't you and your father get anything else other than my feelings to play your those cheap, cruel play? Just because I don't want to see you again I left India but..... This never happened... When I joint this collage I saw you first... Only I know what all I did so that I don't see you... I wanted to stay away from you all life.... I don't want you back.. I don't.." Swara voice started chocking. Today her eyes was reflecting the immense pain she has gone through all these years. Sanskaar stood rooted in the place hearing her words which was stabbing his heart for a million times.

Soon, it began sprinkling. Little droplets of water drenched her hair, skin, and dress. The water droplets began growing larger and falling frequently. The light ‘pitter patter’ of rain turned into wet thuds as the icy water raced to meet the ground. The sprinkling turned into a torrential downpour. The coldness seeped through her gauzy gown and chilled her skin not her fire burning heart and soul.

She left out a sad chuckle.

"You know what? My heart is just a stupid.... Idiot.... Inspite of all the pain you have given me..... This..this.. heart still wants you and craves for you to have you beside me... It wants those soothing words and lovely eye contacts, your arms to feel protected, to inhale your fragrance and watch your eyes like there is nothing else..... When you don't deserve all this.... I always wanted to hate you but I couldn't do." with this ran off leaving behind the stunned sanskaar.

He was numb... numb to digest the things happened right now in seconds, still staring at her retreating figure......

Swara walked into her mansion. Seeing swara totally wet Caroline immediately rushed to her.

"Swara beta, you are fully wet go fresh up fast and change your clothes. You know na this is not good for your health go, I'll take the dinner and come to your room " Caroline sent swara to her room.

Swara walked inside her room and closed the door. Dim lights were on yet she doesn't care. Her whole concern was about the conversation she had with him few minutes ago. She had told him everything.... Everything that she wanted to tell all these years and about that kiss.... she felt angry on herself. How can she loose her sense?! How can she become weak in front him again?! Her legs were not supporting her anymore which lead her to fall on her knees on the floor.

She hugged her knees tightly and burying her head sobing and crying badly.

"How can I do this?...... I... I kissed him... Back...it..it's wrong...." Swara muttered against her breathe while endless tears rushing down her white cheeks.

She was shivering badly because she was all wet and the windows were all open giving frozen chill breeze inside making her to feel frozen... Yet she was crying. Feeling completely dizzy swara tried to get up and she managed to do but very soon she fell down unconscious.

"Swaraaa" Caroline shouted who actually came to check whether swara was ready or not.

Sanskaar walked inside his house like a lost soul after wandering off in streets for hours, his ears were ringing up with whatever swara said minutes ago. He felt heart throbbed. His eyes were red indicating how much he was holding back on his tears for long. He felt like dying. His heart ached like anything. He walked to the terrace and kneeled down letting his tears pour down.

Now he understood what all she has gone through... Because of him.... Yet still she confessed her love for him even after so much things happened with her because of him. She was right, he does not deserve all her love, not even a single bit.

She was a innocent soul yet he stabbed leaving her behind in darkness and letting all the colors go away from her. She was smiling beauty yet he took away her smile. She was a beautiful, happy soul yet he killed her all alive and letting her to shatter and broke her into pieces.... It was just because of him....she was in this state. Even though he knew all about her he did.

"Was loving you wrong? Tell me.... tell me, was all the moments I spent with you were fake?.. I saw love in your eyes for me was that a lie?.... Tell me..." He closed his eyes eyes and ears tightly remembering her words again....

"No.... Noooo... It was not fake, it was not a lie... I loved you damn it." he shouted, it's enough of faking and telling himself that he never loved her and it was just an act.

"I really loved you... and I still do.... I do." he broke down completely in a undignified state.

He wished that he would have denied his father's words that time... If he would have then this would have never happened, he would have never hurted or never betrayed her and everything would have remained... Her parents and his mom...

Crying for hours and hours he wiped off his tears at last.

"I'm not going to back off swara.... I will tell you whatever happened and it's you who have to decide after that" sanskar thought with full of determination.

_______________.

Both the souls were terribly shaken, shattered and broken inside by some or the other............
