*** FLASHBACK... TWO YEARS AGO... ***

It's five o'clock in the morning, Swara sits on the bench in the association local's terrace sighing in need for a moment for breathing. Today will be hectic with a long walk toward an archeological site in the middle of the forest...

She checked once more for the itinerary, the planning of the pauses, the back off plan and all small details concerning transport, food, water, animations...

She's suddenly snatches from her thoughts by the surprising apparition of a fuming mug of coffee.

- Good morning miss Gadodia

Sanskar sits next to her without asking another mug in his hands, he takes a sip keeping his eyes focused on her confused gaze roaming from his extended hand to his face.

She finally takes the cup from his hand whispering a small:

- Thank you...

Before approaching it from her lips to take a small sip tasting it suspiciously but at the moment the hot drink slips through her throat a wide smile draws her lips appreciatively... Sanskar smiles back to her closed eyes.

When she opens her eyes, she's surprised to find him still staring to her and frowns bending her head down feeling shy. He smiles wider to her flutshed cheeks and clears his throat forwarding his hand saying:

- We still didn't yet get presented properly... Doctor Kapoor, neuropsychiatric field, you can call me Sanskar!

He's surprised to Swara's reaction who splits her coffee over him coughing badly, she tries to talk between her coughs as he looks to his stained with coffee t-shirt:

- What!? Who said we need a specialist here? These kids aren't here for therapy but fun... that doctor...

Raising a finger at her face, she immediately stop looking to it then to his as he nods with his chin toward his still forwarded hand raising his brows meaningfully... she grimaces in response irritated but still stretches her hand toward his saying hesitantly:

- Swara Bose... owner of this association...

He grips her hand softly looking in her eyes and asks on his so annoying ironic tone:

- Bose? Gadodia nahi?

- Eh... hm... ha... (shaking her head)... I mean nahi... (grimacing again at his openly amused expression)... Gadodia... haa... Swara Gadodia...

- Sure?

- Ha sure what kind of question is this?

- Questions for a eh... hm... ha... nahi... sure to be a Gadodia, miss Boss!

She finally realizes that she's still shaking his hand with his in the the most awkward moment of her whole life and snatches it immediately leaning back, how has she finished so close to him in this huge bench?

He smirks again taking the mug from her hand which content has almost entirely finished over his clothes sighing:

- You didn't like the coffee apparently !

- Aree! Who said that? I'm sorry... I don't know how I... I really loved it!

- Really? Take my cup then!... and...

She blinks confusedly as he puts the mug between her hands pushing them up to approach it to her lips not giving her a chance to refuse, she just does as he wants and drinks it looking to him when he finishes his sentence saying:

- And I love your huge eyes!

Her eyes widen even more not having a chance but keep drinking his hands enveloping hers above the mug, she finishes it in one go and breaths finally when he withdraws still the stunned expression paralyzing her face, he smiles that so irritatingly cute smile saying:

- Actually... I'm a very franc and direct person, i always say whatever I think or feel... get used to it!

He's already standing up taking the mugs in hands and she just follows his gracious moves with her eyes all open mouthed still in shock. He orders his clothes, look to the stain of coffee on his blue t shirt and checks his watch making sure to not reverse what remained in the mugs he has in hands.

When he turns away walking to the next table, the charm finally breaks snatching Swara from wherever she was lost in the last moments, she stands up almost running after him yelling:

- EXCUSE ME!!! Kya batamiz behavior hai?

She points a finger in his face in that manner he starts to really appreciate and adds:

- Do you think your self being smart? Ha? You can say whatever you want and act like you announced the weather!!!!

He turns once more making her boil in anger raising her hands in frustration as she starts yelling again:

- I'm talking to...

He just put the mugs on the table and turns toward her stopping her new tirade taking her hands in his and softly pressing them moving them down along her sides, when she's about talking again he just says:

- Shhhhhhhhhh....

Releasing her hands, he steps closer to her and says plunging his gaze in her shining with apprehension eyes and says:

- You're a kind young woman, who is giving her entire life to this wonderful case, working with special kids in need of special care and special patience which I'm sure you're so able to give them... so why are you always arguing like an angry bird?

The clear hearted laugh of a small boy interrupts the long eye lock they were jailed in for God knows how long. Swara's face illuminates immediately seeing the small Arjun giving her this so innocent toothless laugh as he runs toward her opening his arms wide to be lifted by her welcoming embrace!

- Gooth monning mumma!

- Good morning beta!

Her face's features relaxed instantly at the moment she has seen him and Sanskar's lips stretch once again in a wide smile seeing their bond together, Swara laughs when he pecks her cheek happily and for a moment they're just together away from the whole world around.

- Accha Arjun, let me introduce to you, Doctor Kapoor Chacha... he helped you yesterday when you were ill. who is he?

- Dothor Thapoor Tchatza...

- Very good!

- Say good morning...

- Gooth monning Dothor...

Sanskar's heart melts in the cuteness of the small boy , his chubby cheeks, his clear colored eyes shining with innocence and his long hair covering most of his forehead, he's really adorable. He forwads his hand saying:

- Good morning Arjun!

But Arjun gets a scared reaction hiding his face in Swara's neck his both fists closing on her t-shirt. She tightens her hug around him and before she could explain to Sanskar that he's always like that whenever he meets a new person, he checks his head smiling to tell her that he knows it perfectly!

The assistant comes searching for the small boy and he pecks Swara's cheek once more before sliding down and running toward her.

Swara starts walking away in need of space to just settle and think about whatever happened in this yet early morning but Sanskar's voice behind her stops her, she looks back to him seeing him stretchin his thumb out:

- My work... neuro-psychiatrist yes but a doctor before everything else, I'm here as volunteer and you'll agree I did my job well yesterday...

Counting on his fingers, he adds:

- Ha... I'm smart hai! I even have diplomas proving it you know?... and ha you have beautiful eyes, it's a fact, not questionable matter... and no I wasn't and I'm not flirting... and yes I do say whatever I want to say because I'm not hypocritical... I like be myself and I don't give a damn to other's opinion... and no, I'm not lying here!... if I wanted to flirt I would be praising your lovely cheeks, appealing lips, appreciative forms...

Swara's eyes are almost escaping their orbs listening to his long list detailing her body just like that, she raises her both hands shouting:

- Stop it!!!! Just stop it ok!!!!

- Angry bird... season two!

She lets go of a loud groan expressing her exasperation reaching its extreme face to his that mocking smile she wanted to break in pieces with her punch straight in his face and like if he could read her thoughts, he puts raises his forearm across his face protectively before bending down and whispering in her ear:

- It was really nice to meet you, again, Swara!

*** END OF FLASHBACK***

Parking his car in front of what it seems like a small theatre, Sanskar is brought back from his memories with Swara's enquiring voice:

- Sanskar? Why are you smiling like that?

He looks to her for a long moment before smiling wider and shaking his head saying:

- Kuch nahi... challe... we're a bit late already!

He helps her down and giving her his hand they walk in a somber hall where lot people are seated around table, her grip is stronger around his arm deeling in an unknown space, he pats her hand reassuringly and whispers in her ear that their table was in the first row.

The piano's music played makes her relax gradually as she lets it fill her senses, she loves, music!

Her wondering eyes keep searching around, she doesn't know what kind of place it is, it's like restaurant but different and darkness with music makes her feel like in cinema she went to twice with Ragini and Laksh, but still it was different... Soon, she finds her marks and note that everyone in looking to the same direction... the stage!

Sanskar smiles feeling her grip tightening over his hand over the table as she gets immersed in the contemplation of the spectacle:

https://youtu.be/-wioWQQKo-8

unlike the people around, Swara didn't make even one move unable to take her sight away from the spectacle, he heart jumped in her chest more than one time and she's in tears at the end, she's trembling and feeling just like have reached some emotion she never knew... the whole show, she was just imagining herself with Sanskar at their places... why?... this by now haunting her... the show was about the blind trust in the other and she has of course this blind mindless trust in him... if she was there up, he could ask her to jump without protection and without his arms sustaining her, she would do so... because she knew, nothing can harm her when he's here!

Sanskar doen't interfere, he wants her to explore every emotion, every single heart beat of hers... she's close to the recovery and it's time to plunge her back in the huge emotions she was forbidden from till now.

The next show is set on the stage... the instruments are taken away, lights are dimmed and a woman arrives to the center with a mike in hand... music starts and words flow through her surrealist voice filling the universe around. She's one of those millions people suffering from Down syndrome!

https://youtu.be/dVvlmpo5g9k

the show has finished, people around dispersed, still Swara and Sanskar were there... immobile and lost in their own thoughts... Swara's feeling weren't able to be expressed, tears have found their way over her cheeks but she's not the only one, Sanskar's heart has been poured out in that song's every single word... he's suffering agony since two years back and that French song stabbed in his murdered heart a hurtful knife once more... again and again... Swara's voice breaks finally the path of his tumultuous thoughts, she asks unaware of her stained with tears face:

- It was French, hai na?... do I know French?

He has a small chuckle approaching his hand to her and wiping her tears, he replies:

- Yes... French and yes you apparently know French!

- You too... apparently!

She wipes the shining pearl of tears appearing at the both corners of his eyes.

He shakes his head throwing his morose ideas far away and takes her hand asking:

- Come with me princess... I'll show you something!

They walk together to the backstage and after asking some worker, they finally meet them... the two first artists who presented the first show, Swara jumps in place like a small girl seeing them and starts saying:

- You're extraordinary, I really can't even imagine how you can do it...

The man smiles forwarding a hand in front of him and saying:

- Thank you so much, miss... thank you doctor for coming to watch us!

Sanskar takes his extended in the air hand in his shaking it and replies:

- You're welcome man! I should be the one thanking you both

He forwards his hand to the girl with him and she shakes it smilingly, Swara does the same understanding that the guy was blind and suddenly she realizes how much harder was their show...

While Sanskar asks about the couples news, Swara discovers seeing the guy explaining to his partner in signs that she's mute and deaf... she let them talk and just keep watching in awe! How is it even possible to surpass so much handicap and have more than a normal life, a wonderful artistic life.

Soon the conversation ends and the couple salute them before leaving them, Sanskar asks Swara frowning at her unusual silence:

- Kya hua, princess?

- Kuch nahi... I'm just speechless! That's all... you know?... I...

- SANSKAAAAR!!!

A woman's voice irrupts all of sudden from nowhere startling her, she's shocked to see the singer woman plunging in Sanskar's embrace holding him tight! Something rude grips her heart, badly, achingly and inexplicably... she looks to them talking together like theu knew each other from the eternity! Sanskar asks her about her career and how long time they didn't talk and she asks him about his life, his work, his new achievements... she looks perfect for a sick person, she's walking on high heels and is able to talk and laugh like... like she's unable to do!

It's so saddening to feel exterior in their conversation, she sees Sanskar like she never saw him before, carefree and talking openly about his life what he never did with her, instinctively, her feet start walking back in need to go away but just at the moment she's about turning, she grips her wrist bringing her closer to him, his darkening eyes failing to hide his anger. This time, she's angry too, she doesn't know why, but right now, she's able to burn the whole theatre if the fire consuming her interiorly burst out!

- Yeh hai, Swara...

- Oh God!!! Finally I meet you, you're much more beautiful than he said!

Swara tries to plaster a smile on her lips when the woman takes her in her arms! Of God she's barely able to hug her sister and this strange woman is...

- Swara, this is Lara... my first patient years ago, she wasn't in real need of me for bug things... she's already exceptional!

- Oh don't listen to him... when he took my case, I was unable to even express myself properly and now look at me I'm expressing it for the whole world...

She one more hugs him even more tightly and if Sanskar wasn't still gripping her wrist, she would not walk away, but run quickly to the end of the world!

The case, the patient... just like her... those words are the words he uses talking about her too, why should be surprised? She knows she's not unique and he has lot of other people counting on him to get better, the two persons they just have surely been his patients too... incomplete people he makes feel better and give them back to their worlds... God! Why is she suffocating like that!?

- Swara... are you okey?

His sincere worried look when he asks her again, it seems like pity... the woman facing her was absolutely stunning, ha... perfections were there but she's beautiful and glued to his side like his shirt!!! His arm surrounding her shoulder protectively... no she's not okey... not okey at all!

She's about asking him to free her as she needs to walk out in need for air when someone comes behind Lara hugging her waist tight making her giggle! He's the pianist playing in her song!

Sanskar frees her holding the coming guy exclaiming "Remy" they exchange banalities about how are they? and what happened in their live since so long?

Remy takes then Lara in his arms and the moment after their lips were locked in a languorous kiss making Swara's blood running immediately up to her cheeks and she looks down hurriedly feeling like the contrating feeling holding her chest till now sliding down! She's even unable to handle Sanskar's amused look ...

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

Half an hour later, on their way to a restaurant for diner, the silence was heavy in the car. Swara's head was turning under the effect of the amount of questions and ideas scrambling there... Sanskar has explained her that the dancers were a couple where the woman is deaf and mute while he's blind, he makes her feel music and she makes him dance on it without seeing around. The woman was like that at birth but learned to feel the beats of music by their effect on objects around, while her companion lost his sight after an accident, he was an engineer and she's the one who introduced his to the world of music.

Their story is so inspiring, so extraordinary... she's aware that Sanskar made her meet them so she can feel that she's not alone suffering from a handicapping illness, it's true her problem isn't physical, yet she's coming from so far, from the vegetative state to the person she is today... suddenly, she feels like she's really so lucky comparing to them, she can't complain like a bad teenager when people are suffering so much more and still having great lives.

Lara... Lara was different, Down Syndrome... she could recognize it's symptoms immediately, those people who came to the world with a genetic problem changing their lives... she recalls that photo she has in her room and those children who used to be a part of her life. Frowning, she wonders what did they become after her illness? There was lot of people with her in the picture, she prays silently that they're still taking care of them.

She smiles thinking that before she helped people like that woman who irked her tonight, how silly she felt knowing that she's married and a healthy baby girl. It's like a real fairytale with happy ending... her wide smile remembering the small family taking a selfie with her and Sanskar turns timid as she blushes again looking down their kiss' scene irrupting in her mind and suddenly another image comes out of nowhere... it's not like she's watching it, she's the main person and someone's hands, breaths and lips are claiming her, that sof touch, those hot sighs and the feeling of her lips captured in those delicious ones, hotness overwhelm all her being and for a moment she's scared like hell that Sanskar could read in her thoughts, when she tried to look aside and her eyes crosses his gaze, the blurred image in her mind clears discovering those same eyes and for a moment she's able to see it all, clear like crystal... Sanskar kissing her!

To be continued!
