After few days:

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar is again busy playing temple run on his mobile...!! So, he kind of ignores her...

Swara: (a bit frustrated) Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: (still glued on his mobile screen) Hmm...!!
Swara: Are you even listening...??
Sanskaar: I'm listening Swara...!! What is it...??

Swara grabs his mobile and shuts the game...

Sanskaar: God Swara...!! I was just about to break my previous record...!!
Swara: Here I'm talking to you and you are busy with that stupid game of yours...!! What do you even find in it...??
Sanskaar: (leaning closer) Do you really want to know...??
Swara: What do you mean...??
Sanskaar: Honestly... I find the girl in there very hot...!!
Swara: Yeah right...!! What else I must expect from you...!! Leave that... I was saying that the assignment is due in next two days and you were supposed to compile everything we searched on net...!!
Sanskaar: I know that...!!
Swara: So...!!
Sanskaar: So...??
Swara: Stupid...!! I'm asking have you done it or not...!!

Sanskaar smiles and leans to grab his bag... he takes out a file folder and hands it to Swara...

Sanskaar: Just see it and tell me if you need any changes to be done...!! Which I'm pretty sure is not going to happen...!!
Swara: You took a print out also...!! What if we need to do some changes...??
Sanskaar: I know I'm pretty talented and there is hardly any chance for that...!!
Swara: Why are you so full of yourself...??
Sanskaar: (smiles and winks at her) You know the reason babes...!!
Swara: Don't call me that...!!
Sanskaar: Just read the whole thing and let me know if you want any changes...!! (he gets busy with his game again)
Swara: Hmm...!! I'll give it to you tomorrow...!!
Sanskaar: Why tomorrow...?? You can read it today...!! If you want I can stay for a bit after the college...!!
Swara: But I need to go...!! I have to go for driving the cab...!!
Sanskaar: Again the taxi thing...!!
Swara: It's a cab...!!
Sanskaar: Duhh...!! Whatever...!! But why do you ride that thing...?? And you know it's not safe to drive at night...!!
Swara: But I have to do something for a living and the coffee house alone won't serve the purpose...!!
Sanskaar: But...
Swara: It's okay...!! I'll try to read it before the college ends...!! Will that be fine...??
Sanskaar: No, its okay...!! You can return it to me tomorrow...!!
Swara: (smiles) Thanks...!!

Sanskaar is passing by the corridor towards the cafeteria for having the lunch when he finds someone talking about Swara... He looks around and finds Sahil talking to Rohit, one of his friends in some empty classroom...

Rohit: Do you really think so...??
Sahil: I'm pretty sure that it's Swara...!!
Rohit: So, you think that Swara was the one who put lemon in your coffee that day...!!
Sahil: This girl is really getting hard to get...!! Every time I think I'm about to get her, the next moment she does something unexpected...!!
Rohit: So, what are you going to do about it...??
Sahil: I want to get a hold of her when she is alone but it's next to impossible at the college...!! Every time that Sanskaar keeps hanging around her...!!
Rohit: (thinks something) I think you can corner her during late evening when she drives the cab...!! You cannot catch her while she is at the coffee house as there are many other people around but...
Sahil: (smirking) But I can hire her cab and ask her to drive to whichever place I want...!! You are a genius man...!!
Rohit: Thanks...!! After all I'm your friend...!!
Sahil: Undoubtedly, the best one...!!
Rohit: Come on... now let's go...!!

Both of them leave the class and Sanskaar comes out of his hiding place...

Sanskaar: (thoughtfully) I really need to do something about this cab thing...!!

———————————-.

Evening Swara is all set to go for her part-time job of the driver...

Swara: (calls out) Maa... I'm going...!! I'll come back by 10:30 p.m.
Simmy: Okay...!! But take care...!! Honestly, I don't want you to do this job...!! I don't a get a good feeling about this one...!!
Swara: Don't worry Maa...!! I can take care of myself...!!
Simmy: But look at you...!! You are just nineteen and you are working so hard to support the family...!! No doubt you are the best daughter one can ever wish for... but apparently I'm not the one everyone wants as a mother...!!
Swara: Don't you dare say anything about my mother...!! Maa... you are the world's best mother and I'm proud that I'm your daughter...!!

Simmy smiles and hugs her...

Swara: (breaking the hug) Okay...!! Enough of the lovey moments...!! I'm getting late...!! See you later...!!
Simmy: But seriously... Can't you find some other job...??
Swara: (smiles and kisses her cheeks) Bye Maa...!!
Simmy: Bye...!! Take care...!!

Swara reaches near the door and opens it... The next moment she gets shocked on seeing Sanskaar standing in front of her, his hands up in the mid-air and an expression of shock and amusement gracing his face...!! Along with him are standing Annapurna and Sujata...!!

Sanskaar: (smirks) Oho...!! Cosmic connection...!!
Swara: Excuse me...!!
Sanskaar: You opened the door just at the moment I was about to knock...!! That's why... cosmic connection...!!

Swara rolls her eyes hearing him...

Swara: (to Annapurna and Sujata) Namaste Aunty...!! Please come inside...!!

She takes them inside...

Swara: Maa... See who's here...!!
Simmy: (coming out of the kitchen) Swara...!! I thought you left...!! (looks at Annapurna and Sujata) Annu...!! You...!! Here...??
Annapurna: Why...?? Can't I come to visit my best friend...??

Simmy smiles and hugs her...

Simmy: Just take a seat and let me get some snacks for you all...!!
Sujata: No need to be so formal Simmy...!! We all are friends...!!
Simmy: No... it's nothing like being formal...!!
Swara: Okay Maa...!! I'm going...!! It's getting late...!!

Simmy nods and Swara turns to leave when Sanskaar calls her...

Sanskaar: Where are you going...??
Swara: Umm... I think I told you about it back at the college only...!!
Sanskaar: That taxi thing...!!
Swara: (rolling her eyes) We call it driving a cab...!!
Sanskaar: Yeah...!! Whatever...!! But you don't need to go there...!!
Swara: (crossing her arms across her chest) And may I know why...??
Sanskaar: (shrugs his shoulder and sits on the sofa) Because I don't want my personal chauffeur to go out and drive those taxis...!!
Swara: Okay...!! I got that... Wait...!! Your personal what...??
Sanskaar: Chauffeur...!! You know... personal driver...!! My personal driver...!!
Swara: (furrowing her eyebrows) Who...??
Sanskaar: YOU...!!

Swara: (shocked to hell) What...?!?!
Sanskaar: Huff...!! You seriously need some hearing aid...!! You are my personal driver...!!
Swara: Since when...??
Sanskaar: From this moment on...!! You can continue your shift at the coffee house but you are not driving those taxis again...!!
Swara: Cab...!!
Sanskaar: Yeah...!! Whatever...!! But you are not going to drive that again...!!
Swara: And why do you think I'll agree to your proposal...??
Sanskaar: (playing game on this mobile again) Because I'm paying you three times the sum you earn from cab thing...!!

Swara: (shocked) Three times...?!?! Look Sanskaar... I know you consider me as your friend but there is no need for such a big favor...!! Three times is too much...!!
Sanskaar: (still playing the game) Oh don't worry babes it'll be worth it...!!
Swara: What do you mean...??
Sanskaar: You'll have to take me wherever and whenever I want...!! No matter what time it is or how far is the place you have to drive me...!! And you have come whenever I ask for you...!! Plus you'll be driving me to the college and back...!! And after returning we can finish our project work at my house...!!
Swara: But...
Sanskaar: (to Simmy) Aunty, do you have any problem with that...??
Simmy: (grinning widely) Not at all...!! In fact, I also wanted her to leave that job...!!
Swara: Maa...!!
Simmy: What Maa...!! Sanskaar this is the best thing possible...!! I don't have any problem...!!

Sanskaar: It's final then...!! You can come to my house tomorrow at 7:00 am...!!
Swara: But why 7:00 am...?? Our classes start at 9:00...!!
Sanskaar: So...!! Someone needs to wake me up in the morning...!!
Swara: Excuse me...!! You appointed me as your driver...!! Not as your personal assistant...!!
Sanskaar: So what...!! Don't forget I'm paying you thrice...!!
Swara: (slumping on a chair) Why are you doing this...??
Sanskaar: Simple, I don't want you to drive those taxis...!!
Swara: It's ca... Ughh...!! Forget it...!!
Sanskaar: (smirks) By the way where is Yash...??
Simmy: He is sleeping...!!
Annapurna: Your son...??

Simmy smiles and nods...

Sujata: How much old he is...??
Sanskaar: (jumping in the conversation) Seven...!! And trust me he is totally adorable...!!

Just then Yash comes there rubbing his eyes...

Yash: Mumma...!!
Simmy: You got up...?? Do you need anything Yash...!!
Yash: I need to do my homework...!! Come and help me...!!
Simmy: Oh no baby I'm busy now...!! See Sanskaar's moms came here...!! Wish them...!!
Yash: (wishes them and looks at Sanskaar) You have two mothers...?!?!
Sanskaar: (smiles looking at Annapurna and Sujata) Looks like I do...!!
Yash: (innocently) How do you handle them...?? I have a hard time managing a single one and you are handling two...!!
Sanskaar: Why do you think so...??
Yash: When I have one mother she makes me drink one glass of milk... You have two then you must be drinking two glasses of milk everyday...!!

Everyone laughs on hearing this...

Yash: Stop laughing Mumma and help me to complete the home work...!!
Simmy: Why don't you ask your sister today to help you...??
Yash: (looks at Swara) You are not going for work today...??
Swara: (looking at Sanskaar) Looks like I have got a new job today...!!
Yash: (confused) New job...??
Swara: Hmm... Someone's chauffeur...!!
Sanskaar: (gets up from the sofa) Great...!! Congrats...!! Now come let's help Yash with his homework...!! Come on Champ...!!

He grabs her by Swara upper arm and drags her to Simmy and Yash's room followed by Yash...!!

Episode ends...!!
