Ragini and Swara came back onto the stage beaming with a smile and greeted Sanskar with a shake-hand. Sanskar(in mind): god, both of them are wearing Orange. How to recognize my girl from both whose voice is really similar to my mom?

Sanskar: Well done girls, I want you both to give a performance in the opening ceremony of my music academy. Here you go with the advance. (He handed over a cheque of Rs. 25000/- which Aman brought)

They both happily nodded their head in approval and said thank you in unison. The function came to an end with the national anthem and Sanskar left to his office not before instructing Aman to find out total information about the girls. In the evening, Aman completed the work assigned to him and reached the office.

Aman knocking on the door: Sir!!

Sanskar looked up to find his secretory plus best friend standing outside the door professionally. Sanskar smiling: come in Aman.

Aman: Sir, actually there is nothing interesting about them. They both stay in a hostel as their parents live in Kolkata and Swara is two years younger than Ragini and they both are very fond of music. According to the University staff, both the girls are bright students and are also very helpful and pure at heart. While Ragini is a little calm and traditional girl, Swara is totally opposite to her it-seams. There were many complaints against her as she always likes to irritate others with her crazy pranks. But still, everyone likes her. Both the sisters are the life of each other.

Sanskar(thinking something): Hmm!! Where can we meet them other than in the university?

Aman: Ya, I have their schedule. (flipping the sheets of paper he was holding) By the way, both the girls are really lazy and they are foodies. Monday to Wednesday, they have their music classes in the evening while on Thursday, they spend their evening in the Punjabi Dhaba having all their favorite dishes. Coming to Friday, they go to either play badminton or to the gym.

Sanskar interrupting: you said they are lazy but I feel they are really into good exercise.

Aman: Ya, I asked the same question to her hostel mate. She was like we will get to know that once we visit their gym or badminton court while they are there.

Sanskar raised his eyebrow: Okay!! We are anyways going to do that soon. Continue.

Aman: They both visit the temple on Saturday and Orphanage on Sunday. That's it.

Sanskar: good work Aman. (looking at his watch) today is Thursday right, (keeping his hand on his tummy) I am feeling to eat paratha in the Punjabi Dhaba, let's go.

Aman shocked: what?? the great Sanskar Maheshwari is going to eat in Dhaba. Oh god someone pinch me.

Sanskar does as his friend wished, for which Aman shouted and they both left to meet the girls. It is around six and the Dhaba is not so full as it is too early for people there to have dinner. Mostly, traveling buses stop at these places for letting their passengers refresh. Sanskar and Aman went and stood in one corner waiting for Swara and Ragini.

Aman: Sanskar, are you sure you want to wait here? If you want to meet them, I will ask them to come to our office tomorrow. What is the need for you to come here?

Sanskar: Aman, as you know me from childhood, you are finding it weird as I don't like such places but one of these girls is very special for me Aman. Her voice is just like my mom's. I want her in my life at any cost. (Aman could sense the seriousness in his voice and the longingness for mother's love in his eyes)

Aman: Don't worry!! She would be the luckiest soul if she would be yours.

Sanskar smiled and just then they could hear anklets sound. As they saw in that direction, found Swaragini coming that way smiling all to themselves.

Ragini: bhayya, get all our regular dishes. Please make it fast...we are very hungry.

Shopkeeper: Ha Ragini beta. Abhi laya(I will get it now)

At that time, Sanskar along with Aman approached them. Ragini greeted them with a smile while Swara is all lost in gulping golppas from the nearby stall.

Ragini: Sanskar sir, you are here?

Sanskar looked at Aman as he is brilliant in cooking up random stories.

Aman looking here and there: ya, we were passing this way and just stopped here to grab a meal but then finding you both here...we just came to greet you. Right, Sanskar?

Sanskar just nodded in yes.

Ragini smiling: Would you like to join us?

Sanskar sitting on the opposite chair to Ragini: We would love to. 

Ragini: What would you both like to have?

Sanskar: Anything is fine.

Ragini: Paratha here is very delicious. Let me order them for you. (Turning towards the shopkeeper) bhayya, get 2 more plates of Aloo paratha, please.

Along with the food, Swara too came there and started eating without taking any notice of the two guests who joined them for dinner.

Aman(to Ragini): It looks like your sister has not eaten for days.

He gulped earning glares from Swara while Ragini chuckled.

Ragini: Swara doesn't like to be disturbed while having her favorite food. Music and food are two things where she would never compromise. (looking at Sanskar) what happened Sanskar sir? you are not having anything. Don't you like paratha?

Aman is having a tough time controlling his laugh as he is remembering the incident when Sanskar had fired his cook for making oily food even though after giving strict instructions to make something light. But now his arrogant friend is sitting in a Dhaba having paratha full of butter. 

Sanskar: No, it's nice. (He said placing a small piece into his mouth). 

Speaking about random things, they completed their dinner.

Sanskar(paying the bill): Girls, take this as a treat from my side for your amazing performance in the morning.

Girls hesitantly: No, it's okay sir. We will pay for us.

Sanskar: Common girls, we are now friends right? at least I feel so (girls too nodded in yes) So, call me Sanskar. No need of sir.

They both smiled and agreed.

Sanskar: By the way, What are your plans tomorrow evening?

Aman: badminton or gym hi hoga. (Badminton or Gym)

Ragini shocked: How do you know?

Swara looked at him suspiciously while Sanskar stamped his foot hard making him shout with pain. Composing himself: actually...you both are looking so fit and slim, so I thought you would have a habit of doing exercise and all you know...

Sanskar: It's time for us to leave. Bye!! (saying this he pulled Aman from there)

After they left, Swara and Ragini were walking on the road to their hostel which is nearby. On the way,

Swara: Di, don't you think Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari is taking too much interest in us?

Ragini: Shona don't think much... he is really very sweet.

Swara: Di, you are innocent that's why you find everyone sweet. I need to find more about him.

As they went to their room Swara started browsing the internet about the most popular business tycoon Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari.

On the other hand, Aman got good scoldings from his friend.

Sanskar: Aman, please don't spoil it yar. I can't lose my mom again. Try to understand bro.

Aman: Sorry Sanskar. I will watch my words from now on. Promise.

Sanskar just nodded and was lost in his own thoughts. Looking at his friend, he left for his room not before instructing the cook to give juice to Sanskar as he hadn't eaten anything for dinner.

Next evening, Sanskar and Aman were waiting near the girl's hostel to follow them as they were not sure to go either to badminton court or gym. Finally, the girls came out in their tracksuit and went to the gym in their car.

By the time, the boys reached the gym Ragini was running on the tread mill while Swara was lifting weights. Looking at them, Sanskar gave a "learn from them" look to Aman before joining the girls.

Sanskar: Hey!! Looks like you both are very conscious about health and fitness. (hearing his voice, both the girls turned towards him. 

Swara holding the weights approached Sanskar: Hi Sanskar, what a sudden surprise? Nowadays it seems we all are meeting too often, isn't it?  

Sanskar just smiled: Ha vo.. (interrupted by Aman)

Aman: We come to the same gym every day.

Swara: Really, we have never seen you before.

Aman: We haven't seen you too. It's because we always come early in the morning but today as we had an important meeting we had to skip it.

Swara: Oh!! (Just then Swara got a call. Looking at the caller Id, Swara immediately asked for water and Sanskar gave her his water bottle and took the weights from her hand worried by her sudden gesture)

But the next scene startled him. Both the sisters sprinkled water on their face and had switched on video call. Swara took the weights from Sanskar,

Swara holding the mobile in one hand and the dumble in the other hand: Hi dad!

Dad: Hmm!! Good looks like my daughters are really working hard to burn their calories.

Swara: Yes dad, it has been more than an hour we started the workout. (placing the dumble down, she took the towel to wipe her sweat(I mean water) from her forehead.

Dad: Let me talk to Ragini. (Swara took the mobile near treadmill)

Ragini: Hello dad!!

Dad: Ragu, I have a piece of good news for you. 

Getting down, Ragini took the phone from Swara.

Dad: As your studies are going to complete in a month, I have found a groom for you.

Hearing which Ragini's face fell, 

Swara: Dad, why are you in a hurry to get rid of us ha?

Dad: shut up Swara. It is not always we get such good matches. Even Ragini knew him well. It's Laksh Malhotra.

Ragini and Swara: Laksh!!

Sanskar: Laksh Malhotra?

All the three said at the same time. Hearing a male voice,

Dad: who is that?

Swara hurriedly: he is our gym trainer. Maybe he knows Laksh.

Dad: Ya, of course, he is very famous. Ragini, you can speak with Laksh and I feel he won't have any problem with you working after your marriage.

Ragini: Okay!!

Saying this she cut the call. Before Sanskar could congratulate Ragini, Swara came near him glaring.

Sanskar not understanding what happened asked: What??

Swara: What was the need of you speaking in between? If our dad gets to know that we are hanging out with boys, he would take us back to Kolkata.

Sanskar: Seems your dad is very strict.

Swara went near her bag and took out two chips packets, one she threw to Aman which he caught at the right time, she came and sat on the bench: Ha he is very boring too. Always behind us saying that we should wake up early, do yoga, exercise and eat healthy food and all. Ragini too joined her taking a bar of chocolate from their bag.

Sanskar: Acha all this is to show him.

Swara and Ragini just smiled busy in eating.

Sanskar looked at Aman remembering that hostel girl's words and shook his head.

Ragini: Sanskar, how do you know Laksh?

Sanskar: Malhothra's are our business partners. So, now and then I have to work with that duffer Lucky. (He chuckled) Sorry Ragini, but your would-be husband is really an antic piece. I must say you would enjoy his company.

Ragini feeling shy: I know, he is our family friend. We met many times. 

Swara: Aha someone is blushing ha...

Ragini: Shona!!

After a little teasing session, the girls got up to leave. 

Next evening, 

Aman: Sanskar, it's time...let's go to the temple.

Sanskar: Aman, no not today. It won't be good if we keep going everywhere. Tomorrow let's visit the orphanage. It will be nice to spend some time with the kids as well. I hope this day goes by faster.

Aman laughing: This is the first time I am seeing you so restless that too for a girl.

But he left from there with one glare of Sanskar. With great difficulty, Sanskar passed the day. The next morning, buying chocolates and biscuits for the kids in the orphanage both of them reached only to find Ragini playing with the kids on the lawn. 

Aman went to meet the lady who is the caretaker of the orphanage while Sanskar was walking in the lawn with his hands in his pockets. Ragini looked at him, waved her hand with a smile for which he waved back. Just then they heard a melodious voice. Sanskar instantly: This song...

Ragini: That's my sister Swara...(before she completed, Sanskar ran in that direction)

He stood outside the window enjoying her beautiful voice. A small smile appeared on his face looking at Swara who is dancing with the children. As the song came to an end, all the children started clapping.

Ragini came there along with Aman: Come on children. It's lunchtime. Everyone went down to the dining hall.

All the children left, and as Swara was leaving too, Sanskar: Swara...(Swara turned towards him) I love you...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, here I end today's part. I know it's very boring. Sorry about that. 

Finally, Sanskar got to know about his girl.

What do you think, will Swara accept his love?

Do let me know your views. Thank you.

Never forget to smile.
