Swayam's POV
"What the hell!!!" Rey yelled, sitting up straight with a start. Rubbing off water from his eyes, he opened to find a grinning me...
"Are you nuts? Who wakes up a person by literally throwing a jar full of water?" He asked shouting at me and I rolled my eyes.
"I am trying to wake you up from past half an hour! If you didn't wake up, I had to do this" I said shrugging placing the empty jar on the side table. Rey took his mobile in hand and his eyes went wide...
"Are you serious dude??? Who wakes up a friend at 6 in the morning! Oh wait, it's not even 6 o'clock yet. No one will be up yet! First of all, we slept so late, due to your so called life story!!! Who does this?" He cried out at me, irritated and pulled the duvet up, to go back to sleep but I caught the duvet firmly.
"I couldn't even have a small nap for the whole night and here, you are sleeping so peacefully! Thank heavens that I didn't disturb you at night." I said striding to the other side of the bed and sitting down, to wear my shoes and hear his groan in return...
"And now, quickly freshen up, because I am taking you on the jog with me..." I said further, getting up and jumping a little on my place, warming up.
"Jog? You are on a trip dude! Just chill!" Rey said, yawning, still on the bed...
"I can't! It's better if you get ready asap or else this time, it will be a bucket of water" I said opening the door of the bathroom, grinning.
"Wait, this is not the usual you, so happy and cheerful... What's wrong or rather I would ask, what's good?" He asked and I literally felt to punch on his face to ask that. Really Rey? You are asking this after what all happened yesterday???
"This is the old me dude, make a habit of this now... And yeah, 5 minutes, I will be waiting in the front yard..." I said smirking to him and he smiled in return. I made my way towards the front door.
The mild hues in the sky, sun beginning to cast it's rays and spread light all over and the cool breeze flowing through shouts a beginning of a new day. New day, new beginnings, new possibilities, new challenges and much more. I am ready to face anything for my love now. I hope everything will be alright as soon as possible and if not, I will make it. I am just waiting to go back to Mumbai now so that I can consult the doctor of Sharon. I have many questions in mind, want to do many things for my love, but before that, I just want to be sure that it's safe for her... I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder and turned to see Rey...
"What are you thinking bro? Let's go?" He asked and I nodded and we started jogging, going out of the main gate. The morning freshness, the breeze, the mild fog, the chirping of birds, the little peak ins of the sunrise from behind the clouds, is giving out so much of positivity...
"Dude! How much more now? Aren't you tired???" Rey suddenly asked, stopping in middle, huffing. I had to stop and turn to him...
"You are a dancer Rey and here, you are out of stamina. You must not be complaining you see" I said and he glared at me...
"Dude, you tell me to dance, I will do it for whole day but jogging is not my thing and we are jogging for last 35 mins, continuously!!!" He whined and I rolled my eyes. Accepting the defeat, we walked upto the nearby tea stall and ordered for two...
"Did you think anything about Sharon? I mean, Pia? Ugh, what to call her now?" He asked me, scratching his neck and I chuckled.
"Call her Pia in front of her and Sharon in front of me. As simple as that and let's get back to Mumbai first, then we will plan the later." I said, sipping the hot tea. It's been ages since I did this. It was with Sharon, the last time I had a roadside morning jog tea, and it was heaven. We paid and turned to return.
I smiled when I saw the shop while returning and turned towards it. Finally! The thing for which I actually thought of jogging!!!
"Flowers?" Rey asked frowning, seeing me going through the racks, on the roadside flower stall...
"Yeah, flowers! Sharon loves them. Any kind of flower makes her mood..." I said excited, picking a bunch of them and I saw him smiling warmly at me. She will love it! I can atleast do this! Afterall, I am her dearest husband, she remembers that or not, is secondary. And I don't know, how will she be when she is awake. I just hope her to be okay.
I placed the bunch of flowers on the tea table between the couches in the hall and wrote her name on a card stuck on its stems. I don't want to freak her out, even if my heart is haunting me to go hug her, kiss her, give those flowers to her and never ever let her go and hold her in my embrace forever. It is killing me to not see her, to not look at her lovingly, to not say her how much I love her, but I cannot do anything now. I hate this situation, but my love for her is much bigger than that and I will wait, I will wait till my Sharon is ready to be mine again...
I turned along with Rey to retire to our room, but stopped in tracks when we saw Sharon coming out of her room, yawning and stretching her hands out. Oh my morning beauty! I missed this scene so much since ages...
"Stop staring! She will catch you!" Rey said, startling me.
"Who cares, I am her husband!" I said smirking and he facepalmed himself.
"Oh yeah! She knows that right?" He asked mocking me and I rolled my eyes. He tried to pull me in but I just froze on my spot, seeing my Sharon. She strode towards the flowers and on seeing them, she squealed taking those into her hands. I knew it! She then turned and smiled, I frowned and looked in the direction of her gaze, to find Sid coming out of the kitchen with his coffee. She ran to him and hugged him.
Are we invisible? No? I doubt that...
"Thank you so much for these flowers and making my mood good!" She said hugging the flowers now and I raised my eyebrows at Sid, who was diagonally facing us. He frowned first but then looked up at me. He smirked seeing my reaction and I glared at him. That was my credit Sid! You stole that too!!! He turned to her and smiled and even side hugged her! Huh! Me and Rey, came back to our room. I closed the door with a bang and sat on the edge of the bed, huffing. Rey initially tried very hard to stop his laugh but it was unsuccessful and now, he is laughing his ass out, rolling on the bed...
"Ha ha ha! Very funny!" I scoffed at him and he controlled his laughter a bit when I glared at him. It took sometime for him to completely control his laugh and then, he quitely crawled towards my side of the bed and tapped on my shoulders.
"Listen dude, this is all okay, but to be honest, I suggest you to not freak her out by doing anything out of your normal nature... You are going back to your old self, only we know that, not everyone out there and especially not Pia! So, take it slow okay?" Rey said and I nodded in understanding.
"And let me warn you, you are gonna get lot of questioning looks today, tomorrow and it will continue till they don't digest this new change. And one more, I am not gonna help you at all!" He said raising his hands in surrender.
"You can't be so cruel on me!" I accused him and completely turned to face him. He cannot be serious! How will I do everything on my own?
"I can" he said grinning like a kid.
"Okay, get lost" I said shrugging, getting up and walking upto my luggage.
"What!? You agreed so quickly? Err... I mean, you are okay with it?" Rey asked confused.
"I am. I don't need anybody's pity or help. I can handle things on my own. I have been alone for 5 years now, ofcourse I can help myself now too" I said, feigning anger. There was a few seconds gap and I finally got another tap on my shoulder. Yes, this worked.
"You know what Swayam? You are lucky enough because I am helping you. I just joked before" he said and I smirked, my back still facing him...
"And be grateful and thank god that I, Reyansh Singhania is with you..." He said smugly and I turned with a big smirk on my face. His smile dropped immediately and he frowned. Then his jaw dropped as realisation hit him...
"Think what to do next, okay?" I said patting his one cheek and his face turned into a scowl. I just shook my head and strode to the bathroom to freshen up...
Pia's POV
"Good morning Pia! How are you feeling now?" Kriya asked as soon as I entered the living room after freshening up...
"I am fine" I said politely and took my seat on the couch beside Simmi and Rinni... I don't even want to think what happened yesterday. I don't know why, all of a sudden that I got an attack in front of everyone and not in my sleep. I don't even remember anything after I screamed and those flashes were continuously playing in front of my eyes, but my gut says that I did something I shouldn't have... I don't know what is happening with me these days... I closed my eyes, leaning against the backrest to get a grip on my thoughts. These nightmares, these attacks have increased so much even after I am taking the pills the doctor prescribed me. I need to consult him again, I can't live like this... But you have to be strong Pia! Yes! You are strong girl! I don't know what was my past life, but I have moved on and now, I cannot look back. You can do this Pia! It's easy! Just don't think about it!
"You sure? I don't think so" Simmi said bringing me out of my thoughts and sat up straight with a jerk.
"Huh? No no, I am fine. Absolutely alright" I said smiling brightly at the girls in the hall. They don't seem to buy my words, but didn't push me any further. I sighed in relief.
"Where are the boys?" I asked trying to divert the topic...
"We are here!" Nil said yawning, strolling out of his room followed by Vicky who was rubbing his eyes. They came and plopped down on the other couch, still sleepy.
"Come on guys, freshen up... It's breakfast time already!" Kriya tried to get their asses up, but she got no response. We all chuckled and let them be.
"What's going on?" Sid asked entering the hall from the main door, along with Bharat. I passed him a smile and he smiled back at me. What he did this morning was really very sweet of him.
"Nothing Sid, these two are sleeping like sloths, whereas everyone else is ready for breakfast. And they are not budging either" Kriya said and shook her head. Sid and Bharat chuckled and sat with us, chilling...
Just as I was about to ask about the plans for today, the words got caught in my throat seeing the scene it front of me. I saw three of our boys, Rey, Amar and most shockingly Swayam coming out of the kitchen in their aprons. What was more surprising was that heart warming smile on Swayam's face. He looks even more handsome when he smiles...
My reverie was broken when someone gasped and I glanced over everyone, looking at the trio with their faces of either shock or frown or surprise. We then looked at each other giving the knowing looks of dumbfound and questioning gazes and turned back facing them. There they were, Rey with two dishes, Amar with a huge dish and Swayam, with plates and other crockery...
"Ladies and gentlemen, the breakfast is ready" Rey said dramatically bowing, inviting us over but none of us stood up.
"What's up with all these things guys?" Sid asked and stood up, going towards them. I saw that he was doing some eye talking with Rey and even Swayam too? What!? When did these two become civil with each other?
"Actually kaki was tired with overload of work all these days, so we decided to give her a holiday and Amar, the MasterChef being with us, we prepared breakfast. Come on now, the food will go cold..." Rey said setting the plates for everyone. Actually it was acceptable on his and Amar's part, but Swayam doing this was not digestible. I shook my head not wanting to think of him!
"Come guys, I am so hungry!" Rinni said standing up from the couch.
"But who will wake up these two lazy lambs?" Bharat said in a tone that said, 'I will not do it'...
"I think I know what to do!" Simmi jumped up, with a mischievous smile and I raised eyebrows at her in question.
"Nil baby" Simmi called him sitting beside him, sugar coating her voice and I noticed Nil hum in response.
"Do you want to sleep more?" She asked smiling and he nodded with a hum again, smiling broadly, hugging himself...
"But Nil, you need to get up now!" Simmi said sweetly but doing the actions of wanting to punch him, to which Nil shook his head and cuddled more into Vicky's arm who was also sleeping. I bit back my tongue to control the laughter...
"Nil get up or else I am gonna throw a bucket full of water on you guys!" Simmi said sternly and he frowned. Simmi gestured Kriya to pass her the water bottle and she did the same. Simmi took little water in the cap and sprinkled on his face.
"Simmi! Let me sleep na baba" Nil said turning from nuzzling into Vicky to nuzzling into Simmi who was next to him. Simmi made a face and quitely got up. Holding the bottle in her hands, she poured it onto their faces and both sat up straight, startled and shocked. Nil and Vicky looked around for few seconds, wiping their face with their palms and then Nil glared at Simmi, who was holding the bottle. Then we all burst into laughter together.
Damn! The look on their faces is so funny! My stomach started to hurt, but the laughter didn't seem to cease. Sobering down a bit, my eyes went around stopping at the one person which made my heart skip a beat. The Swayam Shekhawat was laughing holding a chair by its side, looking towards the banter of Simmi and Nil which was started by now...
Oh my God! Why does he have to look so breathtaking when his lips curve upwards? He was laughing, shaking his head and his eyes shone with happiness. He looked so hot and handsome in the apron and his shoulders, shook as he laughed. Damn! I should stop drooling over him. As if sensing me, he looked towards me and his laughter died but not the huge smile off his face. Our eyes held each other's as if they were magnets and his eyes had a twinkle in them which was something new. His demeanor was so different today, he was so happy. For the first time after I met him, I was seeing him this happy. He was looking at me, with some strange emotion I was unable to understand and which made my heart flutter.
He suddenly looked away, when Rey fake coughed standing right beside him. When did he come there? He looked at me and I quickly averted my gaze being caught red handed. Way to embarrass yourself Pia! You have to stop this feelings Pia. This is only you who is feeling things for him and he doesn't even care for what you feel! Don't fall for him Pia! Don't! I mentally scolded myself to letting go of the control and took a note to not repeat it.
We all stood up and went to the dining table to have breakfast and Nil was still cribbing and angry for what we did. I sat down on one of the chairs and immediately to my opposite, sat the one and only Mr. Shekhawat. Ugh! I wanted to ignore him, but now, he has to come and sit in front of me! I slightly looked up at him and saw that he was already looking at me. Shit! I immediately averted my gaze and I felt heat rising to my cheeks due to embarrassment of what happened few moments ago. I was literally drooling over him and he had caught me doing it!
"What's going on?" Simmi asked nudging me from my side and I looked at her blankly.
"Huh?" I asked her not getting her point...
"Why are you blushing suddenly?" She asked and my eyes got widened. Shit! She noticed it!
"What? I am? I don't think so..." I tried to act dumb, but she narrowed her eyes at me. I just shrugged and turned to the front again, keeping my gaze down, because if I lift it, they will be glued again...
"What's in the breakfast?" I asked excited, trying to divert the topic and my mind too. I lifted the lid of the dish kept in front of me and had imaginary saliva drooling out of my mouth already. There was this delicious looking cheesy white sauce pasta, my all time favourite. I served it to myself and immediately dug into it. The pasta was delicious and it just melted in my mouth so well, leaving the delicious flavours all over. I literally wanted to kiss the person's hands who made it!
"This is amazing" I moaned out and Swayam's head immediately shot up. What's wrong with him?
"It's my favourite and who so ever made this, I want to kiss the hands of that person" I continued when no one said anything and heard Rey chuckle. I looked at him questioningly and he smiled at me mischievously.
"Pia, it's really good of you to appreciate the cook. I am sure Swayam, who made the pasta would love to have your kiss" Rey said in a teasing manner and I instantly choked on the morsel in my mouth. Damn! I didn't know he cooked this, or else I would never say that! Coughing hardly, I tried to normalise my breath and sober down. Simmi was continuously rubbing my back and I was seeing up at the roof. What's wrong with me today!? Everything I am doing is taking me even closer to him and even embarrassing me so much...
"I don't know why, but Swayam really insisted on making white pasta in the breakfast and said he would personally make it. I didn't know Swayam, you are such a good cook too" Amar said appreciating the pasta and Swayam smiled at him. Sid, beside me handed a glass of water as my coughing reduced and while taking it in my hands, I saw he was smirking. What's in his mind? I took the water and gulped it in one go!
"Err, it's really nice" I said to Swayam after a while, smiling forcefully.
"Thanks" he replied smiling and resumed his eating. Soon, we all were done with breakfast and got settled in the front lawn.
"So guys, what are the plans for today?" Nil asked
"Actually Nil, we have thought something" Kriya said and Rey and Swayam nodded...
"Because Pia's health since two days, first getting lost in the jungle and injuring herself and then the panic attack of yesterday, we were actually thinking that let's get back to Mumbai today itself. What say?" Rey said and I was shocked. No! I can't let this happen. Everyone's cancelling their plan because of me, whereas I am already fine.
"Yes, it's better idea" Rinni agreed...
"Yeah, that's best" Nil said next...
"I agree, we should call an end to this trip" Bharat said and rest of them nodded.
"Woaahhh, wait guys!" I jumped in shouting into their voting session.
"You all are not going to cancel any of the plans for my sake! See, I am absolutely fine and in front of you people!" I said.
"No Pia! We need to get you back to Mumbai soon" this time it was Sid and I just glared at him. How can he say this after knowing everything...
"No! I am fine, see..." I said and got up, doing stretching, jumping and jogging. That made everyone chuckle and I sighed in relief.
"Whatever, but we are going back today..." Rey said getting up, giving the final descision. I stood to block his path and folded my hands in front of me, giving him my angry look.
"That's not fair Rey! We are not going anywhere and not cancelling any plans!" I chided at him.
"Yes we are dear" Rey said smiling at me.
"Guys please don't do this... You guys can see me, I am perfectly fine. Let's not end this trip today and follow our original plan?" I said turning to everyone and all seemed to be thinking a bit.
"I promise if I feel unwell, I will immediately say you guys and we can return... Moreover, we are leaving tomorrow itself right? So why cancel the plans for just a day?" I added more to my argument and they seemed to be convinced a bit.
"Okay... But only on one condition Pia! You must say if you don't feel good immediately" Sid said sternly, warning me not to play with my health. I assured him that nothing is gonna happen now and he smiled at me.
"Okay guys, let's decide where to go today..." Sid said turning to everyone and all of them nodded except Swayam who seemed to be frowning and lost. Seems like he is in some thought.
"Come on Swayam, it okay, let's explore this place. She is saying, she will be fine..." Rey said in a low voice and I wouldn't had heard it if I was not standing close to him and Swayam nodded back after few seconds.
But I immediately regretted hearing that. Why would he be concerned for my health!? Was he really thinking this much for me!? But why? Maybe he likes you too, a voice at the back of my mind said but I shut it off. No! This is not possible! He already loves someone, so much that he is grieving for her absence... I shouldn't be doing this. It's wrong! I must control myself, my feelings my heart...
The day passed by pretty quickly, with us doing the city shopping first and then going to the lake for the sunset and finally returning back. Lying on my bed, I was tossing and turning but sleep doesn't seem to come anytime soon. The events of the whole day playing in my mind in a repeat mode.
Something was definitely not the same with Swayam! He was so happy today. Though he didn't show it openly very much, but I could just see his joy in his actions and in his eyes. Even at the lake, I almost tripped over while climbing the unstable floating boat, if it was not for Swayam to catch my hand on time. He had held my hand in such a tight grip, as if he was to fall and he grabbed the nearest support. I even noticed the fear on his face for few seconds before it was masked again. Most of the day, we spent shopping in the local market and visiting the mapro gardens there. I even brought some handpicked strawberries for home back in Mumbai. I caught him looking at me few times, but couldn't do anything because he had caught me doing the same too, embarrassing me even more. The whole time, he was active unlike most of the other days and he even shopped along with us, enthusiastically...
But what's bugging my mind is, what happened to him? Did he get any clue on his girl? Rey had planned to check in his mobile phone, maybe they might have talked and he came to know something about her. Yes! This might be the reason. I have to enquire about it with Rey soon... Sighing deeply, I took my medicines and closed my eyes, tiredness soon taking over my unending thoughts...
_________________________
A/N
I hope what I wrote has matched the expectations you guys had...
How was it? Did you like it? How was the changed Swayam? What do you think will happen next?
Coming to the main point now!
As we all know, there's this news of Shantanu and Nityaami dating each other and participating in Nach Baliye... Some are saying it's fake, some are saying they are fake and the news is not yet confirmed.
But what was ridiculous is, some so called VruShan fans bashing and already hating Nityaami and Shantanu because this time, it's not 'VruShan' but it's 'NiShan'
One question, why? Who are we? It's their life and they have every right to do what they want to. We are no one to interfere and to tell them what to do and not to... And we have no right to badmouth someone, just because they are with a certain person. Wake up guys, if not Nityaami today, there will be someone else tomorrow. Even in Vrushika's life, she has the right to choose for herself too...
And moreover, I am a VruShan fan and it hurts, I understand, but it's time to be a mature fan.
VruShan was, is and will always be special to us. They will always hold a special place in our heart which is irreplaceable. But the reality is, they can't be together forever, in every project and moreover, they never, I say NEVER even once said that they were more than friends or dating each other or stuffs like that. It was us who were expecting so much and we got hurt...
But now, since situations are changing, if not today, there will be some other day when this was to happen! Most of them reading this, I know somewhere in the back of your minds, even you know that this was bound to happen some day. It's better if we accept the reality.
Can't we just continue adoring our VruShan as they are? Can't we just appreciate the special bond of 'marwadi' and 'gujju' we have? They are just like a major bff goals there. Their bond has grew over the years so beautifully...
We are just fans! All we can do is, just support them in what they do! If you are a true well-wisher, you will support each one of them, in whatever they do in future...
All I want to say is, see the positivity of this... Maybe Shan is entering into a new phase of his life (if the news is true), wouldn't he need our support and best wishes? What is their fault? Can't you guys be happy for him? Aren't you guys excited to see him dance again after so long? We trusted him so much till date in whatever he did and he never disappointed us. Trust him this time too, he will not let you down...
Just spread the positivity around and please stop bashing and hating them. Too much of hatred is not good. It's a request to all my readers, just keep calm and accept the reality... I request you all, if you understood what I am trying to say here, please make others understand too, it's time to act mature...
And the topic of discontinuing the story, just because VruShan are not together, I say it's foolishness. SwaRon is eternal, they will be alive in our heart always... I don't know about other writers, but I am not gonna discontinue or stop writing this... This story is very close to my heart and I wil definitely complete it.
Alright guys, this is what I wanted to say, not to offend anyone or not saying against anything. Just my thoughts.
I hope you guys understand 😊
