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

Swara smiling brightly: Thank you so much Sanskar.

Don't know why for the first time, he felt that his parents have given him a very nice name. Smiling, he asked her: Why did you come here?

Hearing it, Swara's face fell: today, my day is not at all good. In the morning Professor said my assignment is not upto the mark and now my scooty has given me hand. Actually as I was going back to my flat, my scooty got punctured so I was walking pushing it, suddenly a lorry came in high speed in my direction...I got scared and moved back when my leg slipped and I fell down into the forest. My phone...(she searched everywhere)

Sanskar: May be it might have fallen when you slipped down.

Swara tensed: Now how will I contact my sister. She would be worried. And my scooty I left it there (She hurriedly got up to leave but stopped hearing Sanskar's voice)

Sanskar: Relax, even if you have a phone, you can't make a call as there is no network here. And your scooty will be safe as no one could cross the checkpost without showing license, so no on would dare to take it.

Swara: I can't take chance, I have to get back home before someone misses me.

Sanskar: Swara, it's dark now, we will get lost if we go out now. There is no other go for us other than staying here for tonight.

She looked outside and felt what Sanskar told is right but she doesn't want to stay under the same roof with a man that too with a stranger. But does she have an option...she slowly came back and sat down leaving good space between them.

Swara: you know what I have black belt in karate and near my house too I have not spared anyone who had messed with me. 

Sanskar understanding her inner turmoil: relax, i don't have any intentions to hurt you. (Saying it he gives his trade mark smile)

Swara could see that sincerity in his eyes, so to change the topic: what were you doing in the forest?

Sanskar: I and my friends are camping here a little further from this hut. So, as I was having a walk around, I heard you scream.

Swara: Wow!! Camping...it sounds exciting😍 (at that point her stomach starts rumbling, keeping her hand on her stomach) I am really feeling hungry.

Sanskar looking around: this hut seems to be shelter for wandering hunters. Just like we found a pot, we might have some packed food too. (he starts searching while Swara is just sitting there)

Finally not finding anything, he gives up: I guess we need to adjust with fruits or raw vegetables only. Those are available in plenty outside.

Swara: even those will do. Please get them soon ha... I am starving. And Sanskar do get few leaves so that we could put them under our head while sleeping...it's very hard down here.

Sanskar giving her "Oh" look: Hello madam, come and get what all you want by yourselves.

Swara keeping a puppy face: But I am hurt na Sanskar.

Sanskar: you just got a small scratch on your head and I guess your hands and legs are fine. (But then looking at her cute pout) Okay, Okay I will get them.

He goes out leaving Swara who is smiling looking at his retreating figure. Swara(in mind): He is really very sweet. I wish dad would choose someone like him for me. 

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

While Ragini was going home after a hectic extra class which is a punishment for bunking an important class of her principle despite of Swara's warnings, She by chance saw a scooty which was to the side on the road. She immediately recognized it to be Swara's looking at the number plate.

Ragini: bhayya, please stop the rickshaw.

Getting down, she scanned whole surroundings but didn't find Swara. So, she dialed her number but got out of coverage area as answer. So, she called Pavi. 

Ragini: Hello Pavi, Is Swara with you?

Pavi: No Ragu, I left home after the classes and she too went back to your flat.

Ragini: Will you please check whether she is there in the flat? I found her scooty near the forest and her mobile is not reachable.

Pavi: Ya just give me 10 minutes.

Ragini hung the call and was just looking around for any hint of her sister. She looked at the scooty and saw that the tire to be flat. Ragini(in mind): relax Ragu, you are just over thinking. She might have gone home as the tire got punctured. She would be fine. But why did she leave her vehicle in this state? She is not so care less. 

Her thoughts were broken by a phone call and she immediately answered it.

Ragini: Hello Pavi, She is there right?

Pavi: No, the door is locked. I spoke with watchman too, he said Swara didn't come yet.

Ragini: Oh god, I am so worried. I just hope she is not in some danger.

Pavi: Relax, just send me your location, I will be there.

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

Near the camp in the forest

Laksh: it is getting very late, where could Sanskar be? He went deep into the forest and that side is totally covered with trees, there are high chances for him to get lost.

Diyu: We shouldn't have let him go alone. Come Laksh, we will go and search for him.

Laksh: No Diyu, if we go now...we will get lost too. We can't do anything till sunrise other than hoping for him to return back safely.

They both sat outside their tents with grim faces awaiting their friend's arrival. 

On the other hand, as Swara was admiring Sanskar, he came with some fruits and leaves she asked for. They both finished their dinner and were just speaking randomly when Swara told about her and her family. Sanskar was just staring at her not paying any attention to her words. He wished the time would stop then and there. There is some magic in her which is drawing him towards her. 

Swara: From then on Only I am speaking, now you tell me about your family.

Hearing the word family, Sanskar's smile vanished and suddenly he became very serious.

Sanskar(avoiding the topic): I think we should sleep now.

After arranging the leaves, they both lay down keeping safe distance between them. Looking at the stars through the window lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly Swara shouted: Sanskar, look there is a meteriod(tuthi hui thara) make a wish fast!! (Saying it she closed her eyes and folded her hands in the form of namasthe and in her mind: Bhagawan ji, you have given everything to me and I am happy in my life but looking at Sanskar, I felt he is missing someone or something, may be his family...I could see that pain in his eyes. Please give him what he wants and make sure that he will always be happy.)

Praying all she wanted, she opened her eyes only to find Sanskar looking at her.

Swara excitedly: Did you wish?

Sanskar calmly: Swara, what's meant to be yours will make its way to you and what was never yours will not be with you how much ever you try. With time, this will all make sense. So, for this I don't like to trouble God. He will give me what all I deserve...ithna barosa tho hai muje uspe(this much trust I have in him)(Saying it he winked at her while Swara wondered how can a person be filled with so much positiveness.)

Swara: Good night Sanskar.

Sanskar: Good night Swara.    

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

Pavi: Where would Swara have gone without telling to us? (She said dialing Swara's number for nth time)

Ragini: No, she would inform me wherever she goes. I just wish...(just then Ragini's eyes fell on the light which is glowing from a cell and as she went near she found that to be a phone)

Ragini: Pavi!! Swara's mobile is here. The way I found her scooty, I seriously feel she is in some trouble.

Pavi worried: What shall we do now?

Ragini: Let's go, we will search for her.

Pavi and Ragini were finding their way into the forest holding a torch each. As there was no proper way from where they found scooty, they walked further on the road to find any trace about Swara. As they walked along the road, they reached the place where they found little light, slowly they approached towards the light holding each other's hands.

Hearing footsteps, Laksh and Diyu too switched on the flash in the phone in a hope that Sanskar would have returned but found two shadows coming in that direction. 

Laksh: Hey!! Who are you?

Ragini looking at them: Oh my god!!! You both are from Sanky's band right? Then Is Sanky also here? (she asked looking all though the camp)

Pavi: Diyu!!! 

Diyu looking at the owner of the voice: Pavi di...it has been so long since we met(she said hugging her)

Ragini shocked: You didn't tell me that you know her. huh...by now I would have met my Sanky na. 

Pavi: Areey how will I know that Diyu is into his band. I never attended any concert.

Diyu: relax, I have recently joined them, by the way what you are doing here at this point of time?

Ragini: My sister is missing (and she tells what all they found) and we came here to search for her.

Laksh: Infact our Sanky has also not returned from his walk. We are worried about him. But I feel it's better to search in the morning because, in this dark it would be very difficult for us to find our way out of these woods.

Diyu: ya he is right. You both too stay with us for this night.

Praying to god that they both are safe, Ragini and Pavi too sat along with Lucky and Diyu around the fire waiting it to be dawn.

Two souls are sleeping peacefully unaware of the tension they have created to their loved ones.
