"Thank you for lift..."swara said with small smile and turned but sanskar holds her hand.swara's heart beat increased when he held her hand.

"didn't sofia say...she will going to her home."sanskar asked,looking at the door suspiciously.

"yes why?.."swara asked,being confused.

"door is open...stay here i will check."sanskar said,moving her to side and walks toward door carefully.swara gets worried a little.

Sanskar opens the door and entered inside.everything was mess.things were scattered everywhere.sanskar checked everywhere but no one was there.

"what happened?.."swara asked in worried voice after standing at door.swara house one room apartment.

"i think a thief was here...we should report to police.check your things."sanskar said,taking out his mobile from coat's inner pocket.

"i don't have anything expensive..."swara said while sighing,entered inside and started gathering things.

"leave them there..."sanskar said in annoyed tone after finishing call to police.

"i am packing your things...you are coming with me."sanskar said after snatching things from her and goes toward her cupboard.

"what?...i can't.."swara tried to speak but sanskar cut her in between.

"swara your house lock is broken and police said there was stealing in your neighborhood also....you can't live here alone.its dangerous."sanskar said in anger filled tone,putting her clothes in her small suit case.

"i will go toward sofia tomorrow.."swara thoughts and kept silent.

After reporting to police,they went to sanskar's house and sanskar showed her guest room and closed the door for her.

"this is so awkward...what am i doing here?"swara said,held her head with right hand and sit on bed.

"why is she leaving in such a unsafe area...what if something have happened to her."sanskar muttered angrily while entering inside his room.he picked up glass of water and drank it in one gulp to calm his anger.

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

MORNING

"what are you doing?"sanskar asked with one raise eye brow after seeing her in kitchen.

"why is there nothing in your kitchen except empty plates and glasses?"swara asked in annoyed tone.

"i...actually don't eat at home."sanskar said while clearing his throat, and sat on stool,beside her.

"i drink black coffee therefore i made the same for you..."swara said while taking a sip from her mug.sanskar looks at another mug on table,picked it up and started drinking.

"eat breakfast at cafe..."swara said after a small pause.

"returning favor for letting you to stay here..."sanskar asked with small smile.

"you can think like that...."swara said,feeling unusual as she felt that he smiled during his sentence.

Both finished their coffee silently after that and then left together.

CAFE

"Thank God you are safe....."sofia said in over dramatic tone and hugged swara tightly.swara who was doing breakfast pushed her back annoyingly.sanskar smiled,seeing the naughty girl.

"i will be staying at your house until lock gets repaired and police don't catch thief."swara said,making sanskar sofia look at her.

"mine?...why?"sofia asked in shocked tone while sanskar kept silent.

"what do you mean by why?.."swara asked in annoyed tone.

"i mean...my house is under construction.my mother and i are leaving in one room with all house luggage.don't you know our house is so small.you can't stay at my place.doctor sanskar place will be more comfortable for you."sofia said last sentence in sweet tone.

"i will pick you up in evening..."sanskar quickly said before swara could have said,got up and left.

"when did construction started at your house?"swara asked in confused and frustrated tone.

"from today..."sofia said,pressing her lips and left from there.

"this stupid girl.."swara holds her head,feeling frustrated.

EVENING

"We are close..."

"its me...where is sofia."sanskar said while removing snow from his head.

"she left for her part time job..."swara said while switching off the lights.

"don't you have anything to wear?..its snowing outside"sanskar asked in concerned tone,nothing seeing anything particular with her to stop cold.

"it started snowing?..."swara asked in surprise.

"hmm...about an hour ago."sanskar said,removed his coat and placed it on her shoulders.swara looked at him with jerk,feeling his warm breath fanning her face.

"its cold outside...."sanskar said in soft tone while looking down at her.swara's heart was beating fast,feeling his closeness.sanskar stares at her porcelain face for a longer minute and forwards his hand to touch her but comes back in his senses quickly and stepped back.

"give keys to me...i will lock it."sanskar said after composing himself.swara silently gives him keys and stepped out while controlling her heart beat.

they remain silent during their journey back to home and both went to their respective rooms silently.

MORNING

Sanskar switches off the news annoyingly went outside.he saw swara's room open and she was not inside.he comes down and looked for her in kitchen.she was not there also.His heart beat fast,not seeing her anywhere.

The thought of something happening to her again,made his heart trembled.

"swara!...."he shouted with unknown fear.he checked her again in her room and washroom and was going to run outside when he happened to see outside from her room window.

she was outside in garden.he quickly ran outside and hugged her,not seeing what she was doing and both fell down,with small squeal of swara,because of slippery snow.

"when will you stop scaring me..."sanskar said while hugging her tightly.swara blinked her eyes,trying to understand what he meant.
