Episode 16

Recap: "Laksh went Las Vegas, Swasan break down, Swasan to go Krishna Nagar."

@ MM on 2 PM

Both Swasan got ready looking really breathtaking as usual. Swara in a beautiful red color Shalwar kameez dress looking like a Divine and Sanskar wearing grey T-shirt, black pant and black jacket looking Dashing but at the same time even cute. [Their dresses are same as in cover pic guys!!!]

Both were coming from opposite sides of stairs. As soon as Sanskar saw her he was mesmerized seeing her beauty even without make up.

Sanskar (in mind): She's indeed really elegant!!!

Now it's time that she looks at him and was lost in his charms.

Swara (in mind): Gosh he's so cute!!! I'm feeling like eating him alive. Swara control yourself yaar.

Both give a glimpse to each other and leaves downstairs.

*****
@ 3 o'clock in Noon

After bidding Bye to MM people both Swasan leaves in one car with an unknown awkwardness and silence in between them. She was busy in playing with the knot of her dupatta due to nervousness while he was busy in driving. By each passing movement both glance at each other and then other sides. Unable to take it anymore both moves their hand to turn on the radio but as a result their hands collides with each other, causing an shock in their spine. Both immediately moves away their hands from each other and looks here and there in other direction. After sometime Sanskar turns on the radio.

Kuch kass hain
Kuch pass hain
Ek Ajnabi ehsaas hai
Kia ye Kamar hai
Kesa Kumar hai
Shayad yeh pyaar hai
Pyaar hai shayad

Both felt a shy and embarrassed session which was very clear on their faces as they become crimson red just by feeling the presence of each other.

Sanskar Monologue:-

Gosh Sanskar!!! What had happened to you?? Why are you behaving like a teenage shy boy?? Be grown up!!!! Why her presence is effecting me this much that I'm just melting in the movement??? Just control yourself Sanskar and first change this bloody music which is adding fuel on my nerves. Huh!!!

Monologue Ends

Swara's Monologue:-

Stop it Swara!!! If just his presence keeps disturbing me like this then how I'll control myself. God!!! Please give me patience to fight with my inner self to not give up on myself for letting my heart win over it and most importantly not to spill out anything in front of him.

Monologue Ends

Getting some courage Sanskar change the radio but again similar songs were only playing which irritates him and he turns off the radio. After an hour of journey both stops their car near an Dhaba (a highway restaurant) and taking a seat there they started giving their order.

Sanskar: One plate of Palak paneer with idli.

Swara: One plate spicy fish with sauces.

The waiter notes the menu and leaves. After sometimes he comes and placed their meals on table and leaves again to take other orders. Watching Swara's meal Sanskar makes faces and murmurs something loud so that only she could listen.

Sanskar: Huh!! These Bengali.... Don't have little mercy on animals.

Swara: Excuse me!!! Mr so called Marwadi!!! You're also not less!!! If you've so much problem then why are you keeping an bad eye on other's meal.

Sanskar: Huh!!! As if I'm dying to eat it.... Nope!!! Not even in my wild dreams I'm gonna do that. I don't like to eat died animals nor I like to kill them.

As he was busy in arguing with her, a beggar came and was keeping an eye on their food. He was just staring at them fighting.

Swara: Oo Hello!!! Don't fly so high Mr Maheshwari!! Don't forget that even plants are living organisms which means you also kills those innocent plants and eat them.

Sanskar: Miss Philosophy!! You don't fly so high. Plants can't move like animals to be called proper living organisms.

Swara: Oh really!!! Then let me tell you in your way Mr Dump head that just like animals plants also breaths, eats and sometimes even moves but by time. At least animals try to run away from us but see you guys. Poor plants they can't even moves cause they don't have any bones and you Marwadi kills them by taking them out of roots and then eats them mercilessly. So now say who's more merciless!!??

Listening her long lecture he becomes horrified and keeps numb just staring her with wide eyes just like a baby who just got scolded by his mother😂. Watching his expression she smirks winningly and sits at her place to have her meal but to her surprise nothing was there. Watching her expression he looks at the table scratching his head and gets shock on not finding his plate of food as well. Suddenly both heard some voice from far and looks towards the direction only to find the beggar gulping the last bite of their food. Both hangs their mouth in "O" shape 😮 while the beggar also now noticed them and smiles sheepishly showing all his 32 teeth😁 and then in no time he becomes Mr India (means gets vanished). Watching all this both Swasan makes a crying face 😭 and later gives glare to each other 😡.

Swara: It's all your fault!!!

Sanskar: No it's your fault!!!

Swara: Who was murmuring about Bengals??

Sanskar: Who said you to hear??

Swara: You intentionally said it loud!!!!

Sanskar: And you even reacted!!?? Such a fool you are!!! See now cause of you we lost our meal to that beggar.

Swara: Huh!!! It was good at least he got something to eat rather than a twisted Galebi (Galebi is a sweet's name) like you.

Sanskar: Seriously!!! Galebi that too twisted.... Madam if I'm twisted Galebi then you're not less than a spitfire. Always ready to spit on anyone.

Swara: You........

Before they could continue their Tom and Jerry fight, they were interrupted by the waiter.

Waiter: Ma'am, Sir Please!!! It's a Dhaba not your home where you both husband wife can fight.

Listening him both Swasan snapped their head towards him listening the word "husband wife".

Swara: We.... We.... We're not husband and wife!!!

Waiter (confused): Really!!?? (She nodes) well but you both behaves like that so. (Shrugs) Doesn't matter!!! Please don't start your fight again here.

Sanskar: But what type place is it?? Whoever comes and takes someone else's launch.

Swara: Stupid!!! It's a Dhaba not any Five Star Hotel.

Sanskar (rolls his eyes): Did I asked you?? No na then why can't you lock your 10 inch longer tongue for a while?? Can't you give some rest to it??

Listening him anger raised in her which was visible on her face as it becomes fully red but before she could say anything the waiter interrupts in between who sensed the upcoming storm.

Waiter: Ma'am please you go.... Your meal will be send to you in a while.

Listening him she goes to her seat and gulps the glass of water to take out her frustration. While the waiter moves towards Sanskar who like an idiot was still looking at him for the answer.

Waiter (mockingly): Sir it's Dhaba not any Five Star Hotel.

Saying this he leaves while Sanskar becomes dumb folded listening him repeating Swara's line. Then he turns and looks towards her who was drinking water while glaring him with blood shot eyes while he just gulps watching her.

Sanskar (in mind): I better should keep my mouth shut for a while before this Jhansi ki Rani start her attyachar (tortures) on me.

Thinking this he sits on his seat on the same table. Soon their launch came and after having their meal both moves ahead in the journey.

*****

In the car it's been 4 hours of their journey both non speaks even single word. Swara due to anger and Sanskar due to fear. While driving he keeps on having her glimpse in each second.

Sanskar (in mind): Yeh larki bohot solid hai yaar.(this girl is really solid) So much anger just on a small fight. Kia kia hai maine??(What have I done??) Just given her a nickname only. Ek nam sun sun k bore nahi hojati?? (doesn't she gets tired hearing same name??) Wese bhi wo nicknames iske liye suitable hain. Jab dekho ghusse main aag bagola rehti hai and Kuch ho jaye to iski 10 inch lambi zuban hamesha bolne k liye taiyar rehti hai. (Moreover those nicknames are suitable for her. Always ready to burst on anyone like spitfire and if something happens then her 10 inch longer tongue is always ready to speak.)

Thinking all these he chuckles which was noticed by Swara and she becomes more red in anger.

Swara (in mind): Getting me angry he's enjoying my condition. Huh!! Such a creep!!!

He gulps his Slavia to stop his nervousness feeling her angry glares on him. So to lighten the mood he speaks.

Sanskar: Staring is bad habit Mrs Maheshwari.

Swara: Oh really!!! So about killing you right now.

Sanskar (gulps): And killing someone is a big crime don't you know.

Swara: Well I won't feel guilty on that.

Sanskar (sweating😰): OK!!! I'm sorry!!! I won't ever say like that to you happy.

Swara (turns her face): Better!!!

Sanskar (makes faces): But you gave me the worst nickname of world. Seriously!!! Twisted Galebi!!!

Listening him Swara giggles and turns towards him.

Swara (raises her eyebrow): So what!!!

Sanskar: From which angle do I look like a twisted Galebi.

Swara: And from which angle do I look like a spitfire??

Sanskar (makes faces and murmurs): From which angle you doesn't looks like that. Always ready to burst on anyone.

Swara: Did you said something??

Sanskar (Stammers): N..... Nope!!! Kan baj rahe hain tumhare. (Your ears are ringing) You should sleep for sometime.

Swara: No!!! I'm Okay like this.

Sanskar (rolls his eyes): Your wish!!!

*****

After 15 minutes of journey the car stops making Swasan to jerks from their places.

Swara: What had happened to the car??

Sanskar: Let's see!!!

With this both moves out of car and Sanskar started checking the car.

Sanskar: I guess a problem came in its engine.

Swara: Then what are you waiting for?? Go on repair it!!!

Sanskar: Do I look like a mechanic to you??

Swara: Then why were you becoming Tees Maar Khan in telling what's the problem??

Sanskar: Maybe you forgot but I just mentioned "I guess".

Swara (murmurs louder): Pata na kahan kahan sai log apni ghadon jesi akal dorane ajate hain. (Don't know from where does people come to work without brain.)

Sanskar: As if you're so smart!!! Then come on you do it.

Swara: Why should I do??

Sanskar: You girls only acts to be smart but can't win over us.

Swara: Really!!! Is that why women only rule the world?? See so many politicians are women and even some were rulers also.

He narrows his eyes in defeat. Truly no one can win over her.

Swara: Now are we going to spend our whole night here only??

Sanskar (shrugs his shoulders): Who knows!!??

Swara (snaps her head): What do you mean by who knows?? Do something we can't be here!!!

Sanskar (joints his hands in front of her 🙏): Please!!! Give stop to your 10 inch longer tongue.... Seriously!!! Don't you get tired speaking too much.

Swara: I don't speak much Twisted Galebi.... You makes me to speak.

Listening her he just rolls his eyes and sits on the bonnet of car.

Sanskar: Fine you speak and let me rest for a while I'm tired of driving so long.

Swara: Here we're in this lonely road and you're taking rest.

But her talks didn't effect him and he was just busy in mobile trying to get some signals. Getting no reply she frustratedly goes and sits in car while on the other side when Sanskar didn't get signals from so long, he looks at her direction but she was not there. He turns back and found her resting her head on the seat. He shrugs his shoulders and rests his head on the glass of car.

*****

After 15 minutes she opens her eyes and looks in front only to find him sitting on the bonnet of car and doing something in the mobile. She comes out of car and tries to peep in his mobile and what she saw shocks her😱. He was playing "TEMPLE RUN"😂 that too with so much concentration.

Swara (Shouts Angrily): SANSKAR!!!!!

Listening her he jumps off his place and looks at her in horror👻.

Sanskar (keeps hand on his chest to take a deep breath): What was that?? You almost gave me an heart attack.

Swara: And what the hell are you doing??

Sanskar: Me?? Oh!!! I'm just playing temple run.

Swara: Here we're stuck in this jungle and you're playing temple run.

Sanskar: To kia karun?? Ladu bare batun!!?? (Then what should I do?? Should I sell sweets??)

Swara: Arrghh!!! You're unbelievable!!!

Sanskar (rolls his eyes): Whatever!!! Now let me play!!! I'm going to break my previous record.

Saying this he again gets engrossed in his mobile which irritates her as they're stuck here and he's sticking to his stupid mobile. She angrily snatch his mobile while he just blinks at what just happened. But when he get then he looks towards her and then at mobile. He tries to snatch it.

Sanskar: Hey!!! Give me my mobile back. I was so near to break my previous record.

Swara: No!!! Go and check for some help.

Sanskar: Apna driver samjha hai kia??? Jab dekho koi na koi order deti rehti ho. (Do you think me your driver??? Always keeps ordering me.)

Swara: Are you going?? Or should I break this mobile??

Sanskar (gets down from car): No ways!!! That's my new mobile.

Swara (smirks): So better go and get help!!!

Sanskar: But where I'll get help at this time moreover no one comes on this road.

Swara: That's not my problem.... Go and check!!!

With this she resumes the game where he left and started playing making him shocked.

Sanskar: Hey not my game!!!

He was about to speak more but stops as she gave him a glare. He moves from there stamping his foot and making faces.

*****

It's been 15 minutes that Sanskar had went from there. Now Swara started worrying about him.

Swara (in mind): Where the hell is he gone?? Is he fine?? Oh No!!!! (Starts shouting) Sanskar!!!! Sanskar!!! Please come out it's not funny.

Getting no reply she started sweating. Suddenly she felt like someone is moving here and there. In nervousness she again started calling him.

Swara: Sanskar!!!! Sanskar!!!!!

Suddenly someone came and pats her shoulder which makes her to scream out.

Swara: Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Person (covers his ears): Whoa!!!! Cool down spitfire..... Why are you screaming so loud.

Swara who heard him recognized the voice and immediately hugs in a memo second.

Swara (hugs him tightly): Sanskar!!!

Yes it's Sanskar only. With the sudden hug, he stumbles a but balanced himself. He felt a current passes through his body and unknowingly he hugs her back wrapping his arms around her waist with an unknown smile on his face feeling her.

Sanskar: Swara!!! Shhh!!! Nothing happened!!!

Swara (breaks the hug and cups his face): You're alright right?? Nothing happened to you na.

Watching her care he smiles for the first time after his return. He unknowingly holds her palms which were busy cupping his face. He gently leads his other hand near her face and started caressing her cheeks. Shiver ran down in her spine feeling his rough and cold touch on her soft and warm skin which was already trembling due to the fear of losing him. She looks into his eyes and finds the same pure and unconditional love which she saw 4 years back. Don't know why today she wanna feel him. He wipes her tears with his thumb while his fingers were still busy in cupping her face. He bends a little and kissed her forehead showering all the love which he was hiding since the time he came back. After a passionate forehead scene both comes back in senses listening a click sound from jungle and we're embarrassed of what they were doing.

Swara (compose herself and thought to change the topic): Ummm where were you??

Sanskar (thought to lighten the mood): I was gone for the work which was told by you madam but seems like you're a scared kitten that you got so scared in my absence.

Swara (snapped her head towards him): What did you just say?? I'm a scared kitten.... You stupid Dracula. Always scares me from back.

Sanskar: Such a big insult for an handsome man like me.... It will cost you really high.

Swara: Just go to hell with your so called handsome face. I'm feeling like killing you with my bare hands. You stupid!!! Idiot!!! Moron!!!

Listening her, he becomes angry and was about to argue back but before that Swara notice something and her eyes gets widens.

Swara (Shouts): Snake!!!!!!

Listening her, his eyes also gets widen and he turns towards his left side only to find a black king cobra coming towards them. Within no time they were sitting on the bonnet of car.

Sanskar: What the hell!!!

Swara: I told you to get some help but see the result. We are stuck in between the jungle. That too now a snake is after us.

Sanskar (joins his hands): Acha Meri Maa!!! (OK my mother!!!) From now on I'll listen to you only. Now come on apne is khurafati dimag ko Chalo karo aur is musibat sai Bahar nikalo. (Now start the engine of your smart mind and get us out of this trouble.)

Swara: Einstein samjha hai kia Jo har problem ka solution hoga (Do you think me Einstein that I'll always have solution of each problem.) Now be quite and pray for last time.

Sanskar: Huh!!?? What!!??

But she didn't paid any heed to him and wears her dupatta as a veil on her head and folded her hands. Now both were looking at the snake in front of their car.

Swara (folding her hands cutely): Hai Naag Devta!!!! Main bohot innocent Hun, mun ki Sachi Hun aur adaton main to bohot achi hun..... Sabse bari bat ap sab ki puja karti hun so apne shishir ko chor de jiye plssssssssssssssssssssssssss agar chahain to (points towards Sanskar) is pagal ko lai jain. (Hey Lord Snake!!! I'm really innocent, kind from heart and really good in deeds. Most importantly I worship you all so you please this follower of yours. If you want you can take this idiot besides me.)

Sanskar (Unknowingly): Yes!!! (Comes back in senses and looks towards her) Wait what!!!

Swara (looks at him): Yes!! Tumhain le jain ge to Dharti pe sai ek bojh kum hojaye ga. (If it'll talk you then a burden will get less from Earth.)

Sanskar: Meri jagah tumhain na le gaye... Kamse kam tumhari 10 inch lambi zuban sai picha chute ga. (Instead of me he should take you... At least I'll get rid of your 10 inch longer tongue)

Swara: You twisted Galebi!!!.......

Like this their Tom and Jerry fight continues while on the other side the snake also leaves from feeling bored from their fight. More than being scared from him they were irritated him. While Swasan didn't realize that for how long did they fight and slept there only in each other's embrace.

Truly maybe God also wants this journey to make them come close to each other just like today after a long 4 years two souls are sleeping peacefully in each other's embrace and the moon and stars and showering them with their blessings.

Screen freezes on Swasan's sleeping face in each other's embrace.

Pre cap: "Lift........... "
