July 20 1994

Swara woke up due to alarm of her mobile and got up while rubbing her sleepy eyes to get clear view. She  looked at the time and it was 7 am in the morning. She hurriedly got down from the bed and rushed towards the washroom because she was having shoot at early morning and she needed to present at set within 8.30 am. She took quick bath and got ready in simple gray skirt and white top and tied her hairs in pony tail. After checking herself in mirror at last time, she went out after pulling her sling bag in her hand and stepped down to have her breakfast. Actually she didn't want to have breakfast with them but she promised to Arjun that she would behave nice with them. She knee about them that they were behaving nice with her because of her being top actress in film industry and money otherwise they wouldn't have look at her and she also knew that they only shows fake concern infront of her and her brother.

Swara came near dining table and saw all were sitting already. She saw all and as well others also. She gave a fake smile and sat on her chair while pulling it.

"Swara beta, your movie director Sanjeev called us that one producer wants you in his new movie so they were asking about you" Shekhar said on which Swara looked at him confusingly because her director has her contact number then how on the earth would he called her uncle?

"He told that you were not recieving calls so he called home landline and asked you to meet him today at his office" Shekhar said further seeing her confused face.

"Ok, I will meet him" Swara replied plainly and dig her head in her plate to avoid further conversation.

"Swara" Sharmishta called her with suger coated tone. Swara cursed herself and looked at her again lifting her head from plate murmuring something.

"Will you ask your producer to give chance to Kavya in his movie? Not heroin at least side character?" Sharmishta asked her on which Kavya got shocked as well as angry. She looked at her mother with angry glare but Sharmishta ignored her and looked at Swara.

"I will talk with producer, Chachi" Swara said and gave her a forced smile. Sharmishta gave a fake smile back at her but Kavya was fuming at her.

"Mom, I want heroine character not side character and secondly no need to beg infront of her. I will get chance on my own without her help" Kavya said while fuming at Swara. She got up from her chair and left the dining table while stamping her foot.

"Kavyaaaa" Sharmishta called her loudly but she already went out from her sight.

"Swara beta don't mind her, you know na she is like this only" Shekhar said with smile which is obviously fake one on which Swara nodded her head in understanding because she knew about their drama.

After having breakfast Swara went to her shoot as it was the last day of her current movie which was shooting so they needed to finalise so asked her to come early.

It was evening 5 pm when she finished her last shoot and sitting in vanity to take some rest. She was leaning on back of couch while closing her eyes and she opened her eyes by listening knock on van door. She sat straight on couch and asked to come in.

She looked at her director who entered inside the van with some other young man.

"Swara, he is Sharat Sengupta, our next movie producer" Sanjeev(Director) introduced him.

"Hello Sir" Swara greeted with light smile but Sharat was staring at her only desired gaze. Swara felt uncomfortable by his gaze on her but she sat quietly because she couldn't predict someone's character at one sight. She looked at Sanjeev with questionable eyes by seeing him without reaction.

"Sharat sir" Sanjeev called him on which Sharat looked at Sanjeev and then at Swara.

"Hi" Sharat replied with smile.

"Swara, he wants you an heroin in his next movie so I brought him here only as he wants to talk with you" Sanjeev said while looking at Sharat and then at Swara.

"Director sir will explain about the character sketch, if you like it then you can accept otherwise no. It is big budget movie, I have seen your acting skills in your previous movie, your acting is fabulous so I wants you act in my next movie" Sharat said with light smile.

"I am glad that you selected me but first I wants to hear script and then I need some time to think about it as I have already so many films lining up" Swara said politely.

"Ok no problem. I hope your response will be positive" Sharat said on which Swara gave little smile.

"Ok, I will take a leave now" Sharat said and took a glance at her last time before going out. Swara turned towards Sanjeev.

"Swara, this is big opportunity for you to settle fully in this industry. He is famous producer and above all this is high budget movie. If it's become hit then your fortune will change forever. Please accept it. I have read the script. Its story line is best and also main heroine character will perfectly suits you. I will explain you about script later, think wisely and don't loose opportunity from your hand easily. It's came to you by searching" Sanjeev said in order to convince her.

"Sir, I know you always wished best for me and also would chose best for me but I need sometime to think about that because I just finished this movie and also I have modeling contest in next month so I need little bit break from me before taking next film" Swara told him in her gentle tone.

"Ok Swara, you take how much time you want. I hope you will choose the right decision" Sanjeev said and left the van. Swara sat and closed her eyes feeling tired and to stay calm for a little bit away from this thoughts.

It was 6 pm in the evening when she wrapped up her work and came out from the set. She sat in her car and going to start but stopped by listening mobile beep sound. She took out her mobile from her purse, her all tiredness flee away by seeing message.

"Hi...what's up?" Sanskar sent message to Swara.

"Nothing, just came out from the working place and thinking to go somewhere quiet place where there is no one so that I can cool my burning mind" Swara replied.

"If you don't mind you can come with me, I will take you one best place" Sanskar replied.

"Then what about your work?" Swara asked him.

"Today, I finished my work early so got free now" Sanskar replied.

"Ok done" Swara replied with small smile.

"Tell me, where are you? I will come to pic you up" Sanskar asked her.

"No, you tell me, I will come there only, if I am not wrong you are at bus stop right?" Swara asked him..

Sanskar smiled seeing her reply.
"Yes, I am there only. How did you find out, don't tell me you are spying on me?" Sanskar sent again.

"No,I just guessed it that you must be getting bored standing alone at bus stop that's why you messaged me otherwise..." Swara replied.

"Hey don't think about me like that. I messaged because I wanted too but I didn't know you would have replied as soon as" Sanskar sent message with cute emoji.

Swara let out small chuckle seeing emoji.
"Ok, I will be there in 10 minutes" Swara replied and geard up the car and drove away.

She stopped the car with screech infront of Sanskar who was sitting on bench waiting for Swara.

Swara down the window glass and smiled at while waving her hand. Sanskar got up and came near her car and smiled at her brightly. Swara removed her scarf and shades.

"Get in" Swara said. Sanskar sat at passenger seat and put on his seat belt. Swara started the car and drove away.

"Tell me, where is that place?" Swara asked him while turning towards him.

"I already fed the direction so you just need to drive only" Sanskar said while shrugging his shoulders. She smiled little and concentrated on road.

Both were silent as they eere not getting what to talk and also feeling awkward to be silent.

"How was the day?" Both asked in unison and both looked at each other then burst out into laughter.

"Ok, you tell me first" Swara asked him.

"Today was the submission of project which I was doing since long time, now it's finished so I got some free time to get relax" Sanskar said while looking at her. Swara smiled by listening him.

"Then how was your day?" Sanskar asked while turning towards her.

"It's been too hectic unlike you but today also I finished my one project. Till next month I am all free" Swara said.

Sanskar smiled at her in response.

"When you will be free I mean weakened?" Swara asked still her eyes on road.

"I got one week leave so thought to go to Bangalore. I am missing Di very much" Sanskar said and suddenly car halted with screech sound. Sanskar looked at her worriedly with sudden stop.

"What happened?" Sanskar asked with concerned on which Swara looked at him for second.

"If you don't mind, can I join you to Bangalore? From so many days I wanted to go out somewhere but didn't get a chance to visit anywhere more to say I didn't have time in these busy schedule" Swara asked while making pleading face. Sanskar looked at her face which he found more cute above all, his heart was dancing inside by listening her that she wants to come with him then how could he deny when he was also wanted that one so that he could become close to her. There was no chance to refuse her.

"I will be very glad if you come with me. I will show you whole Bangalore" Sanskar said with smile on which Swara also smiled feeling happy and excited.

"Ok, when you are going?" Swara asked again while starting the car.

"Tomorrow evening" Sanskar said.

"Ok, I will be ready" Swara said and looked forward but a small smile was playing on their lips because they were getting chance to become close as well as to know each other well. Both wanted the same but unknown of each other feelings.
Soon car stopped at the near the clif where there was no one.

"Is this place?" Swara turned towards him.

"Yes" Sanskar said and got down from the car.
Swara also gown from the car and moved towards the Clif.

"See there, you can see whole city away from that which is crowded and here you can get some peace" Sanskar said while sitting on rock.

"Sanskar, it's really beautiful" Swara said amazingly while turning towards him. Her face was brightening by each moment by seeing the beauty of surrounding. It's was at top of the hill and isolated place surrounded by green and People hardly comes there.

"You can admire the beauty of city as well this place also, as there is no one here to disturb you" Sanskar said and looked at her who was looking at him with loving eyes. Both had a beautiful eye lock and Sanskar broke the eye lock and looked at straight.

Swara sat beside him on rock by keeping little gap between them.

"How do you know about this place?"
Swara asked him amusingly.

"Because of Arya" Sanskar said with smile.

"Arya?" Swara asked him confusingly. Her heart started to beat fast by thinking that if it's any other girl or not? She held her breath in her lungs to listen him.

"Oh yeah, I didn't tell you about him right? He is my roommate and best friend" Sanskar said with a little smile.

Swara let out air in relief which she was holding by listening him.
Sanskar saw her facial expression.

"Are you ok?" Sanskar asked her by seeing her red face.

"Yeah, I am fine" Swara replied while composing herself quickly and smiled at him.

"Next time, I will introduce him to you when we will meet" Sanskar said on which Swara nodded her head with light smile and both sat there for an hour while enjoying the beauty with silence and then left towards their respective home but a charming smile was playing on their lips by remembering today's beautiful memory.

21 July 1994

Next day at evening Swara came downstairs with her luggage in all ready to go to Bangalore with Sanskar.

Sharmishta who was sitting in hall while talking with Shekhar looked at her by stopping her talk. She raised her eyebrow looking at Swara's luggage.

"Shekhar, I will call you back" She cut the call and stood up till now Swara reached the hall with her luggage.

"Swara, are you going somewhere?" Sharmishta asked her.

"Yes Chachi, actually I have one album song shooting in Bangalore so I need to go and today night is flight so" Swara lied perfectly so as not be suspicious.

"But you didn't inform us before and now you are telling?" Sharmishta asked her while narrowing her eyebrows.

"Oh! actually today morning only I got a call from Director sir so I couldn't able to inform you and thought to inform you while going" Swara said with giving her 400 volt bulb smile.

"Ok go" Sharmishta said in her non care tone and sat on sofa while picking her mobile to call her husband. Swara signed in relief for not getting another question session from her. She fastly went out by dragging her trolley bag and sat in her car and soon she reached railway station.
She covered her face with scarf and wore black shades so that no one could notice her then got down from the car. She asked driver to go and asked him to say that he has dropped her to airport so that no one could get to know about her especially her so called family.

She entered inside and looked for Sanskar as she already messaged him that she was on the way. She called him again to ask where he was. Sanskar asked her to come to X plot form and soon she reached there and found Sanskar who was sitting on bench waiting for her. Sanskar looked at her and recognised her who was in scarf and smiled at her in while waving her hand.

Swara came near him.
"When will be train leaving?" Swara asked him.

"Still half an hour time is there, you want something?" Sanskar asked her.

"Nothing just one water bottle" Swara said while sitting on bench with adjusting her eye glass.

"Ok you be here, I will just come" Sanskar said and went to bring water bottle. Sanskar came after 5 minutes with water and gave to her.

"Thank you" Swara said with smile while taking bottle from his hand.

Both sat in bench waiting for train.

"Why you wanted to travel by train? We could have travel by plane right? It will be just 3 hours journey. By train it will take nearly one day"Swara said turning towards him.

Sanskar turned towards her and just smiled at her "You will come to know soon" Sanskar said and again turned towards track to see if train has come of not.

Swara got amused that what thing was special in train that was not present in plane?

Soon their wait was over when their train was announced.

Both boarded the train and took their reservation seat. Swara sat on opposite side of Sanskar and train started after 5 minutes. It was already going to be dark so both locked the cabin door for safety purpose.

22 July 1994

Swara woke up due to disturbance and slowly opened her eyes while rubbing it. She sat straight after opening her eyes fully. She looked at Sanskar who was sleeping peacefully.
Swara sat while staring at him.

"You look more cute and peaceful while sleeping. I don't know how you look cute and handsome at the same time. My Rasagulla" Swara daid herself in mind and then realised what she said, she slapped mentally herself by thinking about him like that. She extended her hands to remove his silky hairs from his forehead but backed out thinking that he would get disturb or would misunderstand her intention. She opened window and looked out of the window to see green ghats on either side who was standing with all their glory and small small water streams were flowing between them and also some water falls from high mountains everywhere.
Swara felt thrilling and amazing seeing the nature's beauty at early morning as it all covered by fog and dew on tree leafs and chill weather making her feel heaven. Feeling cold by chill weather Sanskar opened his eyes slowly and looked at Swara while turning his head towards her and found Swara who was enjoying morning beauty of nature. Sanskar sat up and looked at her who was looking more beautiful with sweet smile on her lips. Sanskar sat while admiring Swara and Swara turned towards him by feeling his gaze.

"You woke up?" Swara asked him.

Sanskar nodded his head.

"I think you are enjoying nature" Sanskar asked her on which Swara gave beautiful smile to him.

"Yes, it's very beautiful here. I never got a time to enjoy like this while travelling so enjoying now" Swara said on which Sanskar smiled seeing her happy face.

"I think I got to know why you chose train over plane travel, for this only right?" Swara asked him with twinkling eyes of happiness.

"Yes that's why I chose this way so that you can enjoy this beautiful nature view and get some relax which you might not able to see in your busy work in Mumbai" Sanskar said on which Swara gave him content smile.

"Thank you for this, otherwise I would have missed this chance" Swara said in gratitude.

"No thank you no sorry in friendship" Sanskar told on which Swara looked at him surprisingly.

"Is it rule in friendship?"Swara asked him with curious eyes on which Sanskar smiled.

"No but it's principle of fRiEnDsHiP" Sanskar said on which Swara smiled shaking her head in understanding.

They passed the remaining time while enjoying nature and talking about random things and asking each other likes and dislikes. It was at 12 pm when they reached Bangalore.

Both came out from the railway station and both took taxi.

"Sanskar drop me at this address as there is one of my friend lives so I will go there" Swara said while giving him one address. Sanskar looked at her confusingly but Swara understood him.

"I will come to your home definitely but not now and I will meet you tomorrow so that you can take me to see your city otherwise who will take me show this big city" Swara said while laughing.

"My Di will be very happy if you have come with me" Sanskar said in disappointed tone.

"I will definitely but not now" Swara said by seeing his sad face.

"I am very eager to come but for that I have to wait for sometime Sanskar because I wanted to enter your home as your life partner not as just friend" Swara said in her mind and then looked at his sad face.

"Sanskar don't be sad please" Swara said while making cute sorry face.
Sanskar easily melted by seeing her cute face and smiled. By seeing his smile Swara smiled brightly.
Sanskar dropped her at her friend home.
He moved towards his home after bidding bye to her and he didn't inform her sister as he wanted to give surprise to her.

Sanskar reached his home and Sanskar rang the bell and waited for door to open. 

One lady around 27 age opened the door and got shocked seeing Sanskar and his little brother infront of her.

"Sanskar!" She said in surprise by seeing him after almost half an year.

"Sanskar hugged her tightly and even lady also hugged him tightly and happy tears started to flow from her eyes.
Sanskar broke the hug after sometime.

"How are you Di?" Sanskar asked her while wiping her tears.

"You are asking me right? first you tell me how are you?" She asked him while caressing his cheeks.

"See, I am standing infront you only" Sanskar said while trying to cheer her up.

"Yes, by seeing you I think you didn't have food on correct time and see how you became thin" She said in scolding with fake anger.

"Now I will be here in one week so that I can eat tasty food made by you and become fat" Sanskar said dramatically.

"Drama king" She slapped his shoulder in playfully.

"Ok come inside" She said and both went inside.

Swara entered inside her friend home who welcomed her whole heartedly as they were meeting after two years.

"Swara, I didn't expected that you will give me surprise like this?" Her friend Sahana said while sitting on sofa with Swara beside her.

"Even I haven't think that I will come here but it sudden trip here as one of my friend was coming so I got company and came here to meet you as well as see your city" Swara said.

"You know how much happy I am now by seeing you. I thought becoming star, you would have forget us but no you are different" Sahana said with feeling happy by seeing her.

"Even I am very happy that I got to meet you" Swara said.

"Ok you must be tired, get fresh up and take some rest till now I will prepare lunch" Sahana said and got up from the sofa.

Swara nodded her head and moved towards washroom to get fresh up.
