Shot -9
Evening:
Swara was still sitting on bench looking at the blank space. Suddenly a kid threw a ball toward her bringing her out of trace. She look up to see a boy approaching her.
Boy: di ,please give me ball.
Swara smiled: sure, here take it.
She threw the ball toward him.
He ran taking his ball not before giving him wonderful smile.
Then only swara look around and realized she is late. She should go to mm .
After sometime she reached mm. She come inside to find uttara with sujatha and AP. She approached her.
Uttara: bhabhi, why u got so late? Everything is fine? I called u but I guess ur phone is silent.
Swara realized that she kept her phone silent.
Swara: umm.. yeah I just got busy with something.
Uttara:ok , u go and take rest. U look tired.
Swara:( smiled) ok
She turned to go upstairs , moving with her thoughts.
( Monologue) don't care for me uttara. It's making difficult for me to hide. Already pari bhabhi, and adarsh bhaiyya started to behave nicely with me along with u. U all will feel betrayed when truth will be out which I can't let happen.
Thinking all this she go to her room. She opened the door and go inside. She closed the door and turn around only to find sanskar who look at her. Why he is home so early? Didn't he went to office after hospital? Was he waiting for her to come?
He was working in his laptop but his eyes were having something which was unreadable, something confusing. Was it anger or hurt. Before she could figure it out ,he turn his gaze back to laptop and started working with stern face.
She knew he came to hospital, he heard Everything. He saw her then why he is not asking anything. Surprisingly he was silent. Why? He should get angry on her na?
She went to cupboard and took out her clothes then went to change. As she go to washroom and shut the door. Sanskar looked up. He didn't go to office and directly come mm. Everyone were surprised to see him back from office soon but he said he is tired. He sent his car with driver to repair as it was damaged. Sujatha ask him but he said he had small accident and he is fine. Nothing happened to him. He just need rest. He came to his room.. he changed and sat on bed thinking about everything happened in hospital. He was also thinking about few days back when he saw her with Samar.. one side he want to believe that he must be his friend but what was the need to lie. Why will she hide Samar being her friend..
He was getting frustrated with every minute passing and swara was also not back. So ,he took his laptop and started working to divert his mind. But, it didn't help him to get him away from her thoughts. He don't know how long he was working,then she came . He look at the time. It was 5:45 p.m. where was she since three hours. Yeah, he had seen her in hospital three hours before and she came now. Oviously she must be with Samar. They had some plans, He thought.
The bathroom door opened and she came out. She looked at him then go to dressing table and kept her earrings in drawer. She thought it's better to leave the room. She should go to pari and uttara and spend some time with them. It's better to escape than to face him, she thought . But as she moved she heard him.
Sanskar:swara??
Swara was scared just with simple way to take her name but she composed herself and turned around to him.
Swara:( try to be normal) yeah..
Sanskar: Is there something I should know ?
Swara:( shuddered) wh... What.. r..u, talk.. talking about?
Sanskar: ( chuckled sarcastically) I expected this from u but still had a hope that u will say the truth...
Swara: ( stammering) what.. what truth ,.. rr.. r u talking about? I ... I don't un.. understand u?
Sanskar: It's ok but i understood everything. Anyway, I told to receive some letter and u were not here so..
Swara: yeah, I m sorry I was ..
Sanskar: in ur dad's office . U needed to sign papers. I m sure ur work was done.
Swara: yeah.. I..
Sanskar: but just signing some papers can't take so much time, right. don't u think so? ( Looking at his watch) I mean, I also have to sign lot of papers but I never took 3 hours or more.
Swara: no..
Sanskar: let it be ,u must be spending time with ur Dad.
Swara: yeah.
Sanskar: anyway, the letter I told to receive was ur blood report and it's normal. So nothing to worry. Here take this.( Handle her cover)
Swara: thanks.
Sanskar just nod and about to move but he stopped and say.
Sanskar: u should take rest and please make urself comfortable on bed. U r looking tired. I m going to study . I have some office work with laksh.
Saying this, he go out of room leaving her in his thoughts.
Swara:( Monologue) why is behaving like this? Why he didn't ask me about samar? When he know very well that I went to hospital.. what's going on in his mind?
Study:
Sanskar was sitting doing nothing.
Sanskar:( Monologue) I m giving u enough chances to tell me what u r hiding. Chances to speak the truth but u r again and again lying . I don't want to accuse u because I trust u ,u won't do anything wrong. May be our relationship is nothing like husband and wife but I have trust on u. I may not know u properly but I know that u r not like a cheap girl who will betray behind back. Just don't prove me wrong about u. I don't know why I have so much faith in u, what I feel for u? I just think that u can't do wrong. I m still giving u time to tell me, swara. Don't test my patience. I don't want u to see my worst.
...
Swara took rest in her room but her mind was not in peace. She kept turning and tossing but then pari came to room and she started talking with her.. it helped her to divert her mind. After sometime dinner was ready and they go downstairs. Swara go and find sanskar was already there. Sanskar look at her then divert his gaze . Pari go and sit beside adarsh who smiled. Uttara go and sit beside pari leaving only seat beside sanskar. Swara look at uttara who winked at her. She nods unbelievably at her and go and sit beside sanskar. Sanskar didn't care to look at her and they started eating.
Suddenly, sanskar started coughing. And then his eyes turn teary. Everyone look at him concerned. Swara get worried..
Swara : sanskar?
Sujatha: what happened sanskar?
Swara immediately took water and give it to him. He gulp whole glass water. but it was still burning his mouth. Swara saw his eyes turning red with tears. She was getting more worried. Then she immediately took sweet dish kept on table and made him eat full spoon. .. then he get calm a bit.
Swara: are u okay?( Looking at him with concern) why did u eat chilli when u can't handle spicy?
Her hand was on his shoulder. Sanskar sees her eyes and then her hand which was on his shoulder and another touching his face with care.
Sanskar:( monologue) These innocent orbs can't betray anyone. Ur eyes showing lots of care for me.. lots of love for me then why?
Sujatha: sanskar,are u okay?
Sanskar : yeah ,I m fine mom..
( To swara) thank you.
Swara took at her hand back as she realized and just nods. She then back to have food while sanskar also have food. He just took sweet dish and eat it thinking how he added chilli in his daal without anyone notice and then as he ate, he started coughing..
After dinner, everyone went to their respective room. Swasan also went to their room.
Swara came out of washroom, changing into night gown and find sanskar was already on bed but he wasn't sleep. He was doing something on his phone. His head was resting on bed post. Swara go toward bed and lay on other side. She turned and face her back to him. He look at her then he turned his side light off and he also ly down on bed. But both were not sleeping. Their eyes were open . Sanskar was looking toward ceiling while she was looking out of window immersed in their thoughts.
Next day:
Swara was ready to go . Samar told her to meet in lunch time,at Cafe near hospital . He had an operation to do in morning so he told her to come after that. He was sounding worried. Swara asked him what's that but he told that he will say when he meet her. Swara said ok still confused.
Swara took her purse and go out mansion. She already told pari that she is going to meet her friend . He is leaving to London today. Pari nods.
She came out and sit in car. She told driver address and car started.
After sometime:
Swara: yeah Samar, say what is in the report and why were u so worried?
Samar: um.. listen swara. Just calm down and listen to me very carefully.
Swara nods.
Samar: swara, the surgeries need to start soon.. and u have to go newyork soon. I already told to shekhar uncle about it.
Swara: ok but I m going na after two months na? What's the hurry?
Samar: no swara, before that.. I mean soon.
Swara: why? What's wrong with my reports?
Samar shakes his head negatively.
Samar: it's not good. U have to leave before ur condition get critical and everything go out of hands.
Swara got sad hearing it. She didn't expected this.
Swara: ok., but one month atleast. Give me that much time atleast.
Samar: swara, can't u understand!! U DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME ,DAMN IT!! ( blurt)
She got too scared that her eyes filled. She is not afraid to die but not this much soon.
Swara( shivering voice) : how much time?
Samar: I m sorry swara. look, u don't have to think about all that. Let ur surgery start and the treatment in process . I m sure u will be fine.
Swara: dad know about it?
Samar: yes .. and u r leaving this week only.
Swara closed her eyes in pain.
Swara:can't those surgery can be done here, I mean why newyork?
Samar: swara, shekhar uncle was taking u to newyork from starting only but u denied it saying u will go at surgery time and starting process can be done here. Because u wanted to live here with sanskar. I supported u that time but not now. U have to go. And secondly it's better if u want to keep it hidden from him still .
Swara: yeah, u r right. If I will be here then he will come to know.
Samar: so, u r still stubborn on ur decision not to tell him?
Swara nods.
Samar: what will u tell him the reason of leaving haan? Won't he ask anything? He is not stupid swara.
Swara: I know, but I will think something about it.
Samar: again a lie? That what u will think?
Swara look at him.
Samar: did he ask anything about yesterday?
Swara nods no. Samar sigh irritated.
Samar: for god sakes swara , he is still giving u time to tell him what u r hiding. Just tell him.
Swara: u r saying he didn't misunderstood us?
Samar: may be not and u can clear his doubt by just explaining everything but u r not doing that for some stupid reason.
Swara look away.
Swara: let him believe his doubt. It's better for me and him.
Samar: u r doing wrong with him . U r being selfish swara. This is not just the way u r. U r just thinking about urself. Ur wish, ur life.. what about him.
Swara: yes, yes yes.. I m selfish. That's what u want to listen. I m selfish. I m thinking about myself and I don't regret it. Understood!! Can't I be selfish for one time in my life. I m thinking about my life which is left very less. I didn't loose hope Samar. I want to live . I want his love but I can't. Can't I just fulfill my last wish of being his wife whether it's for name shake. I lived with him and that's enough for me. I don't want to regret when I will be dying.
Samar: that's why I m saying to tell him swara. He will be there for u.
Swara: what should I tell him? That sorry sanskar, I married u for my wish and please don't love me. Because it will hurt u when i m going to die. I just wanted to live with u before I die and my wish is completed so now bye!! That's what u want me to tell him.
Samar: u have gone mad swara. U r just understanding or I think don't want to understand anything.
Swara: I don't want to understand .U tell me Samar, if u love someone and she die. Will u able to move on? No.. u won't. It's not easy.
Samar: and u think he will move on knowing that u betrayed him?
Swara: may be one day he will. And he never confessed he love me. May be one day ,someone will come and give him love what he deserves.
Samar: ur wish was fulfilled but what about him.. what about his family? U only said na ur pari bhabhi, adarsh Bhai and uttara started behaving nicely with u. Won't they hurt? U r not thinking about them? U r just thinking about u .
Swara: ( chuckled sadly) u had already answered ur question. U only said na, I m selfish that's what I m. My love is selfish. I love him but I don't want him to love me. And about him, he has his whole life, his family and may be one day some special one. I will pray to God that he get best in his life. I never married him to get his love.
Samar: what kind of love is this ? U love someone but when he started to love u, u r running away from him.
Swara: fine look into my eyes and give me 100% assurance that I will be saved. I will not die then I will tell him now only. I will tell him everything because I won't have any fear. I wont care about anything else . Can u do that? Can u say it looking into my eye , Samar?
Samar look down because he can't say it. If he say , it will lie.
Swara: u don't understand Samar. U just don't. What I go through these days, controlling myself with everything that my next action don't do anything so that his feelings for me increase.
Samar: swara, Everything done has two impacts.. negative and positive. And sanskar is not the person to live with positive impact. He will turn the world upside down. U loved wrong person or should I say messed up with. U think u will run from him but he will get u whether it's this world ,hell or heaven... Good luck with ur stubbornness.
Swara: u will never tell him Anything, did u heard that?
Samar: I won't promise u that.
Saying this he get up and left from there leaving swara in her thought.
After sometime:
Swara reached mm. She was really sad that she had to leave this week only. She talked to shekhar who told that they have flight after two days. He had already talked to doctor. Swara unwillingly said ok because she didn't wanted to leave. Now, she had to think what she will tell if he ask why she is leaving?
Thinking this she entered inside.
Pari: did u see off ur friend?
Swara: yeah bhabhi..
Pari: ok but what happened? U seems sad? Everything okay?
Swara: yes, just my friend left that's why.
Pari: ohho swara, the one who goes definitely come back one day.
Swara: and those who don't come back?
Pari: it never happens swara When there is a bond, relation, or LOVE..
Swara : really?
Pari: yes ,we just need to wait and have faith .
Then only sujatha call pari to have juice.
Pari smile and go to sujatha excusing herself.
Swara:( herself) will I able to come back ?
She take a deep breath and then go toward her room. She go inside and shut the door.
" Where were u? " She heard his voice and got shocked. What is he doing here at this time. It's only 3:00 p.m.
Sanskar: swara if I ask something, I need an answer.( His voice was stern)
Swara got confused because yesterday when she expected him to ask he didn't and now why? Still she managed to look normal
Swara: um .. I went to meet my friend. He came from London and will go back today only so.
Sanskar :( shout) well I DON'T THINK DR. SAMAR LIVE IN LONDON swara!!! Till when u keep lying? Why can't u tell me the truth??
Swara get numb listening this!!
