Swara enters the class and Kavita exclaims out of excitement...

Kavita: Woah...!! Look whose here...!! Ms. Nobody...!! The Detention Girl...!! (she turns to Sanskaar) Sanskaar...?!! Since, you'll be alone while leaving after the college, do you mind being my ride today and dropping me home...!!
Swara: Don't worry about that...!! He won't be alone...!!

Kavita looks at her confused whereas Sanskaar seems amused seeing her jealous...

Kavita: What do you mean...?!!
Swara: I mean what I say...!! He won't be alone while leaving the college...!! I'll be with him...!!
Kavita: That's not possible...!! You have a detention...!! You'll be staying back...!!
Swara: (giving a smug smile) So will he...!!
Kavita: What...?!!
Swara: It's not only me who is getting the detention but Sanskaar also...!! We both will be staying back together...!!
Kavita: (to Sanskaar) Why did you do that...?!!
Sanskaar: (smirks) Any problem...?!! I think I prefer being with my SWEET DISH instead of the gas stove...!!
Swara: (glaring at him) Wait...!! Did you just call me 'Sweet Dish'...?!!
Sanskaar: (grinning widely) No I called her Gas Stove...!!
Swara: (folding her arms across her chest) Yeah right...!!
Sanskaar: Okay...!! Now let's go to our seat before the teacher arrives...!! You have to sit here only in the next class...!!

He goes to their seat and Swara leans to say something in Kavita's ear...

Swara: Get one thing clear in your head...!! If I find you flirting with HIM or questioning our friendship ever again, I swear the next painting on your face will be even more beautiful...!!

Giving Kavita a last glare, Swara goes and sits beside Sanskaar, whereas Kavita keeps fuming in anger...

--------------------------.

LUNCH TIME...

Swara and Sanskaar are going to the cafeteria when Ragini comes all of a sudden and drags Swara with her...

Ragini: Sorry Sanskaar...!! But I'm taking her away for a while...!! It's an emergency...!!
Sanskaar: (smiles) It's okay Ragini...!! I'll be with Lucky in the cafeteria at our regular table...!!

Ragini nods her head and practically drags Swara out with her...

Swara: God Ragini...!! Slow down...!! This way, I'll hurt my leg...!!
Ragini: (looks at her) Sorry...!!

They both reach the backyard of the college and Ragini finally lets go off her hand... Biting her nails, she starts pacing up and down the place whereas Swara keeps on looking at her...

Swara: Ragini...!! Are you going to tell me what happened...?!!
Ragini: (murmuring to herself) This is not happening...!! This is not happening...!! How is this possible...?!!
Swara: Ragini...!!

She goes near her but Ragini keeps murmuring...!! Swara holds her shoulder and jerks her...

Swara: Ragini...!! Are you going to tell me what happened...?!!
Ragini: (looks at her without blinking her eyes) Umm...!! Laksh asked me out on a date...!!
Swara: Ohh...!!
Ragini: (furrowing her brows) What 'Ohh'...?!! Are you sure you are my best friend...?!!
Swara: Of course, I'm your best friend...!! You have always been with me...!! You were there when I had nobody...!!

Ragini smiles and hugs her...

Ragini: I know you love me...!! But why aren't you surprised when you heard about my upcoming 'Date'...?!!

She looks at her and Swara gives her a sheepish smile...

Swara: Maybe because...!!
Ragini: Because...?!!
Swara: Ialreadyknowaboutyourdate...!!
Ragini: (confused) What...?!! Come again but... this time a bit slowly...!!
Swara: I already know about your date...!!
Ragini: (shocked) What...?!! But how...?!! I mean Laksh asked me today only...!!
Swara: Laksh came to me and Sanskaar yesterday and asked us to help him out with the 'Date'...!!
Ragini: Laksh asked you for help...?!!
Swara: Yup...!! He is kind of nervous about...
Ragini: (cutting in between) What...?!! Why is he nervous...?!!
Swara: Have some patience darling...!! You'll come to know about it soon...!! So, stop freaking out...!!
Ragini: Easy for you to say...!! I'm a tom-boy Swara...!! Everyone knows that...!! How can you expect me to act girlish all of a sudden...?!! Do you even know how it feels when yesterday only you gave away your first kiss...?!!
Swara: (shrugs her shoulder) How would I know...?!!
Ragini: (to herself) Yeah right...!! You haven't kissed 'HIM' yet...!!

Her eyes widen the moment these words escape her lips... She closes her eyes biting her tongue, whereas Swara looks at her confused...

Swara: Excuse me...!! Him...?!! Who is this 'Him'...?!!

Ragini avoids eye-contact and keeps looking everywhere but Swara...

Swara: Ragini...!! Are you hiding something I should know...?!!
Ragini: Umm... I... I...!! Are you going to help me or not...?!! (gives a puppy dog face) Please...!! Please...!! Please...!!
Swara: Okay...!! Okay...!! But stop giving me that face...!! What do you want me to do...?!!
Ragini: (twisting her fingers) I want you to help me buy a dress...!!
Swara: (shocked) What...?!! You...?!! As in Ragini Gaddodia will buy a dress...!! And that too to impress a guy...?!!
Ragini: (rolling her eyes and smiling) Stop embarrassing me more Swara...!! What do you expect me to do...?!! It's my first date after all...!!
Swara: Okay...!! Okay, I got it...!! How about 6:00 in the evening...?!! I will meet you directly at the City Mall...!!

Ragini hugs her immediately jumping and squealing like a child...

Ragini: Thank You...!! Thank You...!! Thank You so much...!! You are the best...!!
Swara: (smiles) Thanks...!! But no thanks...!! Let's have our lunch now as I don't want to attend the next lecture with a growling stomach...!!

Ragini smiles and nods her head and both of them head towards the cafeteria...

---------------------------.

DETENTION...

Swara and Sanskaar are sitting in the detention room after the classes... Mr. Saxena arrives...

Mr. Saxena: Now both of you...!! I'm not going to give you any technical topic here for the assignment and since you are here for misbehaving, so, you have to write an essay on the topic: 'My Passion and Behavior required for achieving success'...!! I want a four page essay right now and you...

Sanskaar cuts in between completing his sentence...

Sanskaar: And we won't be allowed to leave unless and until we complete it...!! Right sir...?!!

Mr. Saxena nods his head sternly and sits on his chair...

Swara starts writing her essay as she needs to finish it as soon as possible... She has to go for shopping with Ragini...

Sanskaar, as being him, couldn't keep quiet and starts pestering Swara...

Sanskaar: (leans towards Swara and whispers) Swara...!!

She tries to block him out and concentrate on her writing...

Sanskaar: Swara...!!

She avoids him again... But when he couldn't hold it any longer, he decides to use his old formula... He takes out his pen and pokes it into her waist... Swara yelps due to the sudden movement and Mr. Saxena looks at her...

Mr. Saxena: Any problem Ms. Ahuja...?!!
Swara: Yes Sir... I mean no Sir...!!
Mr. Saxena: Then why I heard a noise...?!! Are you not concentrating on your assignment...?!!
Swara: Umm... I was... I was not able to decide what to write...!!

Sanskaar chuckles from behind and Swara gives him a death glare...

Mr. Saxena: I guess I already told you to write about 'Your Passion'...!!
Swara: Actually... I was not able to decide about which passion I should write...!!
Sanskaar: (cuts in between) Seems like she is a very passionate person...!!

Swara turns around and gives him a 'WHAT-THE-HELL' look to which he just shrugs and grins back at her...

Mr. Saxena is about to say something when the peon comes and informs him that the Dean has been calling him...

Mr. Saxena: Okay...!! I'll be in the office...!! As soon as you complete your assignment, you can come and submit it there only...!! After that you are free to go...!!

As soon as he leaves Swara turns to face Sanskaar and glares at him...

Sanskaar: (raises an eyebrow) What...?!!
Swara: That's exactly what I'm asking...!! What...?!!
Sanskaar: (smirks) Don't tell me you are checking me out...!!
Swara: Only in your dreams...!!
Sanskaar: Dreams do come true babes...!!
Swara: (rolls her eyes) Stop calling me that...!!
Sanskaar: What...?!! Babes...?!!
Swara: (pointing her finger at him) Stop, okay...!! And let me concentrate...!! I have to complete the essay asap...!!
Sanskaar: Why...?!!
Swara: Because I have to go and help Ragini in buying a dress for her date...!!
Sanskaar: Wow...!! Can I also come...?!!
Swara: No...!!
Sanskaar: Yes...!!
Swara: No...!!
Sanskaar: Yes...!!
Swara: No...!!
Sanskaar: No...!!
Swara: Yes...!!
Sanskaar: Ha ha...!! (claps his hands) It always works with you...!!

Swara realizes that he tricked her again like the last time...

Swara: Argh...!! This is not fair...!! You always do this...!! That's it...!! You are not coming with us...!!
Sanskaar: But we decided to help them together for their date...!!
Swara: (thinks for a while) Okay...!! Only on one condition...!!
Sanskaar: What...?!!
Swara: You will keep quiet and won't bother me until I complete the essay, and for God's sake stop acting stupid...!!

Sanskaar smirks and leans closer to her, their faces merely an inch away...!! His eyes flicker to her lips for a moment and she gulps down due to the intensity of his look...

Sanskaar: But I'm 'Your Stupid'...!! Yes or No...?!!

Swara, not trusting her voice, just nods her head... Sanskaar chuckles and her eyes widen the moment she realizes what he meant... Swara lowers her gaze as she could feel heat rising to her cheeks...

Sanskaar: (pinching her cheeks) You look cute when you blush...!!
Swara: I'm not blushing...!!
Sanskaar: Yes, you are...!! And I'm glad I'm the reason behind it...!!

He winks at her and starts writing his essay... Swara, too, starts writing but all she could feel is, Sanskaar, in her mind as well as her heart...

After completing the assignment, Sanskaar takes the both the assignments...

Sanskaar: I'll go and submit the assignment quickly...!! You can go and wait for me in the parking lot, and from there we'll go for the shopping...!!

Swara nods her head and both of them head in the opposite direction... Sanskaar, to the office and Swara, to the parking area...

----------------------------.

PARKING AREA...

Swara reaches there and is about to reach near Sanskaar's car when all of a sudden someone holds her arm and pushes her harshly against the wall... A sudden sensation of getting hurt and pain passes through the back of her head... Her vision gets blurred as tears well-up her eyes...!! She is about to shout but the person keeps his hand on her mouth turning her scream into a muffled noise... Swara's eyes widen as soon as she finds Sahil standing in front of her...

Sahil leans closer to her and smirks... Swara wiggles to get out of his hold but instead he tightens his grip...

Sahil: Easy there Ms. Nobody...!! Do you know the reason I'm here...?!?!

Swara looks at him and he gives an evil chuckle... Tracing his hand up from her wrist to her shoulders, he speaks:

Sahil: I have been getting complains about you that you are getting naughty day-by-day...!! I don't think I have to remind you why you are in detention...!!
Swara: (looks at him in his eyes) Your sister started it...!!
Sahil: Looks like you learnt how to speak...!!
Swara: I always knew how to speak... It's just that now I know how to voice my thoughts and feelings against people like you...!!
Sahil: Hmm...!! Impressive...!! Our little kitten has developed guts...!! (he leans closer to her and whispers in a dangerously low tone) It's all because of that Sanskaar right...?!!
Swara: Do you have any confusion in that also...?!!
Sahil: Umm... Hmm...!! Looks like you really like him...!!
Swara: That's my problem...!! It's my life...!! My heart...!! I can like whoever I want...!! I can love whoever I want...!! You don't need to tell me...!!
Sahil: I don't need to tell you but I need to teach your 'Lover Boy' a good lesson for messing with me...!!
Swara: Don't you dare lay a single finger on him...!!
Sahil: Don't worry darling...!! I don't need to touch him to teach him a lesson...!!
Swara: (confused) What do you mean...?!!

Sahil smirks and leans even closer pressing his body slightly against her body... Swara feeling disgusted by his touch tries to lean away in order to create distance between them...

Sahil: (whispers in her ear) How about I take the thing he wants the most right now...?!!

Swara gets confused and looks at him...

Swara: What...?!!

Sahil looks at her lips and smirks... Swara gets nervous and bits the inside of her lips...

Sahil: Your First Kiss...!!

Swara eyes widen the moment the words leave his mouth...

Sahil: I know how desperate he is to kiss you but God knows what's holding him back...!!
Swara: It's... It's nothing like that...!!
Sahil: Oh come on...!! Either you are too ignorant or too naïve to notice...!!
Swara: But...
Sahil: No ifs and buts because I know if I kiss you right now, how much he will suffer...!! So, how about doing it right now...?!!
Swara: (leaning away) No...!!
Sahil: Oh yes baby...!!

He holds her head with one hand and passes his other hand inside her t-shirt moving it dangerously close to the upper part of her torso... Swara tries to shout but her voice refuses to leave her throat... Tears start rolling down her cheeks and she closes her eyes tightly seeing him leaning towards her...

But all of a sudden, she feels all his weight being lifted up from her body... She opens her eyes and finds Sahil yanked away from her, and with a quick movement Sanskaar thrusts him against the wall holding his face in his palm... Swara has never seen Sanskaar so angry... His eyes burning red with fury, jaws clenched, breaths coming out rugged and in pants and veins pulsating out of his forehead and arms...!! She couldn't even move a single finger seeing him like this...

Sanskaar: (angrily) I told you to keep your hands off her...!!

He turns Sahil's face towards him and starts landing punches on him...

Sanskaar: How dare you touch her...?!! How dare you bring tears to her eyes...?!! Damn...!! How dare you even come near her...?!!

Sahil loses his balance and falls on the floor, Sanskaar kicks him hard but stops on hearing Swara's scream...

Swara: Sanskaar...!! Stop...!! He is not worth it...!!

Sanskaar stops instantly and turns to see Swara... The moment his eyes meet her tear-filled eyes his tensed feature gets relaxed and his eyes get soften...

He pulls Sahil up by his collar and whispers in his ear...

Sanskaar: What you saw now was just a trailer...!! If you don't want to see the complete movie then just remember one thing... I DON'T LIKE SHARING WHAT IS MINE...!!

Saying this he throws him against the wall and holding Swara's hand he gets in the car driving away...

-------------------------.

Sanskaar stops the car and turns to look at Swara who is still shivering because of whatever happened and every time she remembers it her eyes start overflowing with tears... Sanskaar instantly wraps his arms around her engulfing her in a bone-crushing hug... She tightens the hug holding his shoulder blades and leaning her forehead against his chest...

Swara: (whispers against his chest sobbing) Thank You...!! For being there for me...!!
Sanskaar: Always Swara...!! You don't even need to ask...!!

Swara breaks the hug and Sanskaar cups her face in his palms...

Sanskaar: Are you alright...?!! Do you still want to go to Ragini...?!!
Swara: (stops crying and Sanskaar wipes of her tears with his thumb) We have to go...!! Ragini is very much tensed about the date...!!
Sanskaar: But Swara...!! Are you alright...?!!
Swara: (tears well up her eyes again) He touched me...!! He touched me again...

Her throat constricts as she finds it hard to speak...

Sanskaar: (thinking for a while) Do you have the keys to your house...?!!
Swara: (nods her head) In my bag...!! Why...?!!
Sanskaar: (starts the car again) Let's get you a little bath before going to the market...!!

--------------------.

Both of them reach Swara's house and Sanskaar takes her to the washroom...

Sanskaar: You get freshen up...!! I'll be waiting outside...!!

He turns to go but she holds his hand...

Swara: Please don't go...!!
Sanskaar: (caressing her cheeks) I'm not going anywhere...!! I'll be here only...!!
Swara: No...!! Don't leave me...!!

Tears start flowing down her cheeks again and Sanskaar couldn't hold it any longer...!! Taking her inside the washroom he locks the door behind and opens up the shower... He gets in there inside with her allowing the water flow down their body...

Swara closes her eyes, silently crying and rubbing her upper torso vigorously... Sanskaar holds her hand and leans his forehead against her forehead their noses slightly rubbing against each other...

Sanskaar: I'm sorry that I allowed him go that far...!! I should have known...
Swara: It's not your fault...!! You always save me...!! I just don't like when he touches me and right now I'm feeling disgusted of my own body...
Sanskaar: Shh...!! Don't you even dare to say that...!! (he presses their forehead more tightly and whispers) You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen...!!

He holds the hem of her t-shirt and looks into her eyes to confirm if she is comfortable with a new level of intimacy amongst them... Swara closes her eyes and leans her forehead back against his forehead...

Sanskaar slides his hand under her t-shirt rubbing her torso slowly and she shivers under his touch... She could feel her knees weakening due to the new sensation Sanskaar is giving her right now... Swara sighs audibly and passes her arms around his neck holding him for support... He holds her waist and leans closer whispering near her lips...

Swara: I won't let anything happen to you...!! Ever...!!

Saying this he gives a kiss near her lips...!! Swara looks up and all she could see is honesty, sincerity and 'LOVE' in his eyes...!! It leaves her baffled as Sanskaar kisses the bridge of her nose before getting apart... Swara instantly misses the warmth and comfort of his body...

Sanskaar: You get changed here...!! I'll get changed and wait for you outside...!! Then we'll go to the market...!!

Swara nods her head and Sanskaar leaves... But all she could realize is that neither of them considers the other as 'Just Friend'...!!

Episode ends...!!

Precap: Shopping and Swara decides to reveal that she is 'Nightingale'...!!
