MAHESHWARI MANSION

Swara is woken up in the mid of night by the sound of Sanskaar's phone ringing...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: (in a sleepy tone) Hmm...!!

Swara: Your phone...!!

Sanskaar: (still sleepy) Huhh...?!!

Swara: (loudly) Get up... Your mobile is ringing...!! Maybe it's from the hospital...!!

Sanskaar gets up and picks up the mobile...

Sanskaar: (looking at his mobile) It's Maa...!! (picks up the call) Yes Maa...!! The reports came...?!! What did the doctor say...?!?!

Annapurna: Yes Sanskaar...!! The reports are here and the doctors are saying that though there was an infection but she is out of danger now...!! But it'll take some time to recover...!! Other than that everything is fine...!!

Sanskaar: (smiles) Alright then Maa, I'll inform Swara...!! You take rest...!!

Annapurna: Okay Sanskaar...!! You also take rest...!! I'll see you in the morning...!!

Sanskaar: Okay Maa...!! Bye...!!

Annapurna: (smiles) Bye...!!

Sanskaar cuts the call and looks at Swara...

Swara: What happened...?!!

Sanskaar: (smiles) I told you she is a fighter, she made it...!!

Swara: (smiles widely) Really...?!!!

She immediately hugs him... Sanskaar chuckles and holds the small of her back stoking her hairs gently with the other hand...

Sanskaar: Yes...!! She is out of danger now...!! Only thing is we have to take good care of her until she gets better...!!

Swara nods her head against his chest...

Sanskaar: And you know I'll be there with you always...!!

Swara: I know the weirdest person on earth is not going to leave me anytime sooner or later...!!

Sanskaar: (chuckles) Stop complaining, I know you like it...!!

Swara: (shakes her head and breaking the hug looks into his eyes) I love it...!!

Sanskaar: Hahhh...!! I knew it...!!

Swara shakes her head at his childishness and takes a deep breath...

Sanskaar: What happened...?!?!

Swara: I wish I could see Maa right now...!!

Sanskaar: You'll be seeing her in the morning...!!

Swara: No, not that...!! I feel so helpless that my mother is there in the hospital and here I'm unable to do anything for her other than wishing for her betterment...!!

Sanskaar: So, what do you want to do...?!?!

Swara: I don't think we can do anything right now...!! Let's go back to sleep...!! 

She is about to lie down again when Sanskaar speaks...

Sanskaar: Actually, we can...!!

Swara: What...?!!

Sanskaar gets up from the bed and forwards his hand towards her...

Sanskaar: Come, let's go...!!

Swara: But where are we going...?!!

Sanskaar: Just somewhere...!! Do you trust me...?!!

Swara smiles and holds his hand...

Swara: So, shall we go...?!!

Sanskaar: I guess that's a yes...!!

He smiles and holds her hand taking her out of the house...

---------------------.

Swara and Sanskaar are driving to some place unknown to Swara...

Swara: Where are we going Sanskaar...?!?!

Sanskaar: Have some patience love...!! We're about to reach there...!!

Swara: But we have been driving for last one hour and still you are not telling me anything...!!

Sanskaar: Relax...!! Whatever you say I'm not telling you anything before reaching there...!! So, shut up and enjoy the drive...!!

Swara sticks out her tongue to him and starts looking outside... Sanskaar stops the car after sometimes and smiles looking at her...

Sanskaar: Here, we are...!!

Swara: Umm... Sanskaar why are we here at the temple in the middle of night at 01:30 am...?!!

Sanskaar: Why people go to temple...?!?!

Swara: But we could have gone to any of the temples in the city, then why are we outside the city...?!!

Sanskaar: This temple is not like the other ones in the city...!!

Swara: (folding her arms across her chest) Oh really, what so special about this one...!!

Sanskaar: For that, you have to get down and go inside...!!

Swara: You really are very weird...!!

Sanskaar: And I need that weirdness to handle a person like you...!!

Swara: Excuse me...!! What do you mean by 'Person like me'...?!!

Sanskaar: I mean a person who never listens to me...!!

Swara: This is not fair...!! I always listen to you...!!

Sanskaar: I don't feel like that right now...!!

Swara: Okay fine...!! I'm coming...!! I don't know why do I even argue with you...!!

Sanskaar chuckles and enters the temple, and Swara follows him inside... They reach the main hall and she smiles looking at one of the most beautiful Lord Shiva's idol she has ever seen...!!

Sanskaar: You know 'He' has the best communication technology...!!

Swara: (confused) What...?!!

Sanskaar: You said that you can't do anything for your mother other than praying, so I thought if that's the only thing we can do right now then why not do it in an effective way...!! This one here has the direct contact with the highest authority, so I'm pretty sure that your prayers from here will directly reach your mother...!!

Swara: (smiles looking at him) I seriously have no idea how I ended up with a person like you...!! You are kind of actually totally opposite to me...!!

Sanskaar: 'Opposite Attracts' love...!! So, stop staring at me and start praying...!!

Swara: I was not staring at you...!!

Sanskaar: Yes you were...!!

Swara: No...!!

Sanskaar: Do you want to see the reason why this temple is special or not...?!!

Swara: (surprised) There is something else...?!?! I thought you were talking about this beautiful idol that made it special...!!

Sanskaar: No doubt that this idol is beautiful but there is something else in this place...!!

Swara: And what is that...?!!

Sanskaar: To find that you have to complete your prayer first...!!

Swara nods her head and both of them join their hands in front of the idol and close their eyes...

----------------.

After 10 minutes...

Swara: Sanskaar, why are we sneaking in the backyard of the temple...?!!

Sanskaar: (keeps his finger on his lips) Shhh...!! Keep your voices down...!! We don't want the priest of this temple to find out...!!

Swara: (whispers) Why...?!?!

Sanskaar: Because going to the backyard garden is not allowed at night...!! The priest here is a bit strict about this...!!

Swara: What...?!! Then why are we going there...?!?!

Sanskaar: Shh...!! You ask too many questions...!! Now, come with me without making any noise...!!

Swara: I don't know what I'm doing with you...!!

Sanskaar: You said you trust me...!!

Swara: I never said that...!!

Sanskaar: Of course you do or else what you'll be doing here with me at this point of night...!!

Swara smiles looking away finding it the best way rather than answering him back...

Sanskaar: Here...!!

Swara: (looks at him) What...?!?!

Sanskaar smiles at her and points in a direction... Swara looks in the direction following Sanskaar and gets dazed by the scene in front...

The garden is surrounded by tall trees... Flowers of every color one can imagine are forming a colorful carpet for the entire place... And the beauty of the place gets multiplied thousand times due to the moonlight falling evenly at each and every place...

But what catches Swara's attention the most are the 'FIREFLIES'...!! Blinking continuously they form an outline for the trees...!! Swara could see the green leaves engulfed in a golden light everytime the Fireflies blink... She has never seen so many fireflies at once... She looks at Sanskaar in utter disbelief...

Sanskaar: (smiles) This is what makes this place most special...!!

Swara: This... This is so beautiful Sanskaar...!! I have never seen so many fireflies at once in my entire life...!!

Sanskaar: Would you like to go there...?!?!

Swara: Really...?!?! Can we...?!!

Sanskaar: Well, technically we have already broken a rule, so, one more wouldn't do much harm, right...!!

Swara smiles like a child who has just got her favorite candy, and she runs towards the trees trying to catch the Fireflies...

Sanskaar runs back to the car and returns in a minute...

Swara: Where were you...?!?!

Sanskaar: Here, hold this...!!

He hands a small earthen pot to her with a small lid on the top...

Swara: What are we going to do with this...?!!

Sanskaar: Shh...!! Just wait and watch...!!

He tip toes towards the tree and slowly gets a hold of one of the Fireflies... Hurriedly he runs back to Swara...

Sanskaar: Open the lid quickly...!!

Swara opens the lid and Sanskaar slowly puts the Firefly inside it... She smiles looking at him...

Sanskaar: Stop advertising your toothpaste and help me out...!! I'm not going to catch them all alone...!!

He goes back to the tree and Swara follows him keeping the pot nearby...

------------------.

After one and a half hour, they return back to Maheshwari Mansion...

SWARA'S ROOM... Both of them are standing in the middle of the room... Swara is standing there holding the earthen pot whereas Sanskaar stands in front of her...

Swara: Thank you so much Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: For...?!?!

Swara: For everything you are doing for me...!! Now, you can go and rest...!! Good night...!!

Sanskaar: And where should I go...?!!

Swara: To your room...!!

Sanskaar: But I think you wanted me to stay...!!

Swara: That was then but now I'm feeling much better...!!

Sanskaar: Now, what are you going to do with the Fireflies...?!!

Swara: (smiles) I'm going to release them in the room...

Sanskaar: And...

Swara: And what...?!! Nothing...!!

Sanskaar: Wow...!! I also like doing nothing...!! Let's do it together...!!

Swara: What do you mean...?!!

Sanskaar smirks and hops on the bed throwing off his shoes...

Sanskaar: I mean I'm staying here for the rest of the night...!!

Swara: What...?!! No... What if someone sees us...!!

Sanskaar: You must have thought that earlier...!! Well technically no one will see us as everyone is sleeping right now...!! So, you can also release your fireflies and come to sleep...!!

Swara: Huhh...?!! What...?!! I... I... Umm...

Sanskaar: Swara were you drunk at that time...?!?!

Swara: Shut up...!! I don't drink...!!

Sanskaar: If not then why are you hesitating so much...!! It's not like that we are sleeping together for the first time...!!

Swara: (shocked and almost shouts) We were not sleeping together...!! We were sleeping on the same bed...!! There's a difference...!!

Sanskaar: (smirks) Really...!! And what is it...?!!

Swara: It... Umm...

Sanskaar: (sits on his knees on the bed and leans towards her) What's the difference Swara...?!!

Swara: (gulps) Diff... Errr... Ence... I... I...

Sanskaar smirks and Swara throws a pillow at him...

Swara: You don't need to know...!! Just know, there is a difference...!!

Sanskaar: Okay, I won't ask...!! Now, come and sleep...!!

Swara: No...!!

Sanskaar: Fine with me then...!! Either you are coming to sleep or we are going to spend the rest of the night standing in the middle of the room...

Swara mentally slaps herself for falling in his trap again...

Swara: Okay fine...!! But only on one condition...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!!

Swara: You won't touch me while sleeping...!!

Sanskaar smirks and nods his head... Swara opens the windows of the room and slowly let's the Fireflies out of the pot into her room...

Sanskaar: Why have you opened the windows...?!! They will fly out...!!

Swara: (smiles) That's what I want...!! I don't want to trap them here...!!

Sanskaar: Okay, now if you are done then can we go back to sleep...!! I'm feeling very tired...!!

Swara: But... No touching...!!

Sanskaar: Yes boss...!!

Saying this he lies down on the bed with a thump and covers himself with the comforter... Swara slowly walks towards the other side of the bed and lies down... The moment she covers herself with the comforter Sanskaar pulls her by waist and holds her tightly against his chest... She wiggles in his gold trying to get free from his arms...

Sanskaar: (with his eyes closed) Go to sleep Swara...!! We have to go to the hospital in the morning...!!

Swara: (angrily) But you promised you won't touch me...!!

Sanskaar: I never promised that...!! So, now sleep...

Swara: But...

Sanskaar: Shh...!!

Swara: This...

Sanskaar: Sleep Swara...!!

Swara: You...!!

Sanskaar: Now...!!

Swara opens her mouth to say something again but Sanskaar cuts in between...

Sanskaar: And stop moving or making any more noise...!!

Swara understands that there is no use of struggling or arguing... So, giving up she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes snuggling closer to his chest...

After a few moments...

Sanskaar: Swara...!!

Swara: Hmm...?!!

Sanskaar: (in a teasing tone) What's the difference in the both types of sleeping...?!!

Swara: (punches his arms)  Shut up Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar chuckles and Swara smiles when the Fireflies become the only witness of their 'Unsaid Love'...!!

--------------.

After two days...

Simmy is getting discharged from the hospital and Swara is packing her stuffs to go back to her house...

Sanskaar: Is it necessary to go...?!!

Swara: Sanskaar... Maa is getting discharged today, so I need to go back home before that...!!

Sanskaar: But what's the need of going for that...?!! Look, aunty is not well so we can bring her here...!! We'll be able to take a better care of her here...!!

Swara: (smiles) No need for that...!! You and your family has already done so much for us...!! And I can manage...!! Beside that Annapurna aunty will be coming to visit us everyday and I know you are definitely going to tag along with her...!!

Sanskaar: 110 percent...!! And now if you are going then I have something for you...!!

Digging his hands into his pocket he takes out an envelope...

Sanskaar: Here...!!

Swara: What's this...?!?!

Sanskaar: Your first salary for being my Ms. CCPA...!! It's already been a month since you started working for me...!!

Swara: (smiles) Thanks...!! Now, I'll be able to buy present for Maa on her birthday...!! Thank you so much...!!

She hugs him and kisses on his cheeks...

Sanskaar: I have one more thing...!!

Swara: One more thing...??!

Sanskaar: Yup...!! Your farewell present...!!

Swara: (confused) Farewell present...??!

He smiles and runs out of the room... Sanskaar returns back on exact five minutes... Swara looks at him and gets shocked on seeing what he is holding in his hand...

Sanskaar: This is your farewell present...!! The only thing you need to take care of is, keep this one away from your mother as she is asthmatic...!!

Swara: But Sanskaar...!! It's a parrot...!!

Sanskaar: (playing innocent) What... You don't like parrots...?!!

Swara: No no no... I love it...!! It's so cute...!!

She takes the cage on her hand and touches the parrot...

Swara: What's his name...?!!

Sanskaar: (grins widely) Mr. TR...!!

Swara: (confused) Mr. TR...?!!

Sanskaar: Yup...!! Mr. Tape Recorder...!!

Swara: (looks at him in utter disbelief) Seriously Sanskaar...!! Who names the parrot Tape Recorder...?!!

Sanskaar: I do...!! See, the parrot is exactly like a Tape Recorder...!! It just keeps replaying whatever is recorded in it or whatever is taught to him...!! So, Tape Recorder suits the best...!!

Swara: Yeah right...!! Only you can think of such names...!!

Sanskaar: I'll take that as a compliment...!! You know it already knows what's the best thing in the world and he speaks also...!!

Swara: Really...?!!

Sanskaar: (smiles mischievously and leans towards the cage) Mr. TR...!! What's the best thing in this world...?!!

Mr. TR: East or West... Sanky is the best...!!

Sanskaar: Wonderful...!! See...!!

Swara: God...!! I don't believe this...!! You taught him this...!!

Sanskaar: What's wrong with that...!! It's the universal truth after all...!!

Swara: (takes a deep breath) Okay... Okay...!! I got it...!! Now, let me pack my stuffs...!!

She keeps the cage on the nearby table and turns towards her bag... But the next moment Sanskaar turns her back engulfing her in a bone crushing hug...

Sanskaar: I'll miss you...!!

Swara: Sanskaar...!! I'm not going anywhere...!! We'll be meeting each other at the college and I'm pretty sure that you will be coming to my house also...!!

Sanskaar: (tightening the hug) Then, also, I'll miss you...!!

Swara: (smiles and hugs him back) I'll miss you too...!!

Mr. TR: East or West... Sanky is the best...!!

And just then their little moment of love gets broken by none other than Mr. TR...!!

Episode ends...!!
