When I'm with you,
Eternity is a step away,
My love continues to grow,
With each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
How much I love you...
You'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
With each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
Whenever we part,
Know I hold you dearly,
Deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always,
I Will Love You."

Hii everyone...!! With these beautiful lines by 'Chris Engle', I present to you all: the third phase of MITWAA - LOVE WILL FIND A WAY with a new tag-line...

PHASE 3 : FOREVER AND ALWAYS, I WILL LOVE YOU...!!

***** PART 35 *****

Early morning around 4:30 a.m.

Swara and Sanskaar, both are sleeping inside the car...!! Sanskaar, on the driver seat and Swara, on the passenger seat, covering herself with one of his jacket...

Sanskaar opens his eyes and smiles looking at her sleeping form...!! Her head resting on his shoulder, both her hands tugged deep inside the pockets of his jacket, her hairs playing with the slight breeze coming inside from the open window and teasing her fluffy cheeks and full pink lips which are slightly pulled apart...!!

He smiles thinking of their 'double kiss' last night and kisses her forehead...!! Putting his finger under her chin he closes her slightly open mouth and chuckles...!!

Sanskaar: Swara, get up...!! Open your eyes...!! You need to see something...!! Swara...!!

Swara: (opens her eyes slowly) Ughh...!! Why are you shouting, Sanskaar...?!?! Let me sleep...!!

Sanskaar: Wow...!! Look at her...!! Yesterday, she was the one asking me to get back home as soon as possible and today she's sleeping as if there is no tomorrow...!!

Swara closes her eyes again, resting her head back to her seat and pulling the jacket even tighter around her body...!!

Sanskaar: (slowly) Okay...!! You asked for it...!!

Sliding his hand between the seat and the lower of her back, he pulls her on his lap with a swift movement...!! Swara squeaks out of surprise and opens her eyes only to see him looking at her with his world famous smirk etched across his face...

Sanskaar: Woah...!! Looks like our Baby Penguin is back again...!!

Swara: You promised you won't call me by those names again...!!

Sanskaar: Okay...!! Okay...!! Anyways, I can always make new ones for you...!!

He pulls her closer holding her waist and tugs the free strand of her hair behind her ear...

Swara: What do you think you are doing...?!?!

Sanskaar: I told you to get up...!!

Swara: Is this the way to wake anyone up...?!?!

Sanskaar: Not just anyone...!! This offer is exclusively for you...!!

Swara: Now, are you going to leave me and let me complete my sleep...!!

Sanskaar: Let me think...!! No...!! Right now, you have two options...!! No...!! No...!! No...!! Actually, three options...!!

Swara looks at him curiously and Sanskaar smirks back at her...

Sanskaar: First...!! You get up and come with me to wherever I want to take you...!!

Swara: And second...!!

Sanskaar: Second...!! Don't get up and I'll take it as a sign that you actually like the position, we are in right now and we can continue keep sitting in this position...!! And the third one...!! Even better...!! We can replay the happenings of last night...!! What say...?!!

He smiles and looks at her lips naughtily...!! Swara punches his arms and sticks out her tongue to him...

Sanskaar: Oww...!! (rubbing his arm) Will you stop doing that...?!?!

Swara: You know what, I'll go with the first option...!!

Sanskaar: I know...!! I know, I'm not that lucky that you'll choose the third option...!!

Swara: (smiles innocently) So, where is it you want to take me...?!!

Sanskaar: Close your eyes...!!

Swara: What the...?!! First, you ask me to open my eyes and now you are asking to close them again...!! Just decide one thing that I should do...!!

Sanskaar: Alright then...!! You open your eyes, get down from the car and then close your eyes...!!

Swara: You are seriously unbelievable...!!

Sanskaar: I know...!! That's exactly why you love me so much...!!

Swara: Shut up and leave me, so that I can get down...!!

Sanskaar: (tightening his grip on her waist) Why don't we consider the third option...?!! I think it's a better one...!!

Swara: Stop joking around Sanskaar...!! We need to get back today only...!! We have to submit the project report in three days as the end semester exams are going to start...!!

Sanskaar: (takes a deep breath and rests his head on her shoulder) Now, you are the one who is unbelievable...!! You definitely know how to kill a romantic mood...!!

Swara: (pulls his cheeks) I know, Cutiepie...!! Let's go...!!

Sanskaar: Wait...!! What did you call me...?!?!

Swara: (pulls his cheeks again) Cutiepie...!!

Sanskaar: Eeeee...!! Don't call me that...!! These type of words are just for girls only...!!

Swara: No, they are not...!! And you are my cutiepie...!! You are really very cute...!!

Sanskaar: (shouts back immediately) Boys are not cute...!!

Swara: Yeah...!! Yeah...!! Right...!! Now, come, let's go...!!

Sanskaar: But...

Swara: You wanted to show me something or not...?!!

Sanskaar: Yeah right...!! Come let's go...!!

Sanskaar releases Swara and she gets off his lap jumping out of the car...

Sanskaar: Now, close your eyes...!!

Swara: (closing her eyes) Sometimes I don't understand how come I ended up with you...!!

Sanskaar: We are destined to be together Love...!! Now, take my hand...!!

He holds her hand and takes her...

Swara: Sanskaar, where are you taking me...??!

Sanskaar: Geez Swara...!! You are so impatient...!! We have hardly walked ten steps and you started bombarding me with your questions...!!

Swara: I was just curious...!! Do we have something like water nearby...?!?!

Sanskaar: (scrunching his head) How did you know that...?!?!

Swara: Sanskaar, my eyes are closed not ears...!! I can hear the sound of falling water...!!

Sanskaar: I'm not going to tell you anything...!!

Swara: Wait...!! Are you trying to kill me by drowning me...?!?!

Sanskaar: Yeah, right...!! I'm going to kill you to save mankind...!!

Swara: What...?!?!

Sanskaar: How can someone be such a bad kisser...?!?!

Swara: Haww...!! If I'm such a bad kisser then why did you ask to kiss me again...?!!

Sanskaar: I was just not able to believe this on our first round...!!

Swara: Let me just open my eyes, I'll kill you for sure...!!

Sanskaar: Shh...!! We have reached there...!!

Swara: Are you really going to kill me...?!?!

Sanskaar: Well, why don't you open your eyes and see for yourself what I'm trying to do...!!

Swara opens her eyes and gets astounded...!! Right now, holding his hand, she is standing at the vantage point of the cliff...!! She looks at Sanskaar and then at the twin hills in front of her which have a small waterfall of milky white water flowing in between them...!! Greenery spreads everywhere as if God has a special corner for this place in His heart and has carved it with his own hands...!!

Swara: That's why you stopped here for the night...!!

Sanskaar: Seeing Sunrise from the top of a cliff...!!

Swara: You remember every wish from my wish-list...?!?!

Sanskaar: No...!! I have them written all over my body like Gajni...!! Do you want to see it...?!!

(Note: For those who by any chance don't know about Gajni...!! It's an Indian movie in which the actor had the problem of short term memory loss and had everything written all over his body, in case he forgets anything)

Sanskaar holds the hem of his t-shirt as if taking it out but Swara slaps the back of his head...

Swara: Stop it Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Alright...!! Alright...!! Look it's time...!!

He points towards the slight sun rays coming from behind the hills...!! Swara stands there numb and looks at the big orb of light coming from behind the hills and several colors dancing beautiful everywhere and finally mingling with the environment...!!

As the Sun starts being visible, the rays fall on the waterfall looking as if Goddess Nature has studded thousands and millions of diamonds on the surface of the water...!!

Swara smiles looking at everything just like a person not in his senses...!! Sanskaar smiles too and  back hugs her as she is still enjoying the scenery and kisses her cheeks...

Sanskaar: Happy New Morning...!!

Swara: New Morning...?!?! What's 'New'...??

Sanskaar: (tightens his grip on her waist and rests his chin on her shoulder) Our relation...!! We are not just friends anymore...!!

Swara: Then, what are we...?!?!

Sanskaar: Umm...!! Not like this...!!

Swara: What...?!?!

Sanskaar: I'll tell you what are we but not like this...!!

Swara: Then...??

Sanskaar: How about we first get done with our exams...?!?!

Swara: Are you sure about that...?!!

Sanskaar: A hundred and ten percent...!! Now, let's go...!! We have to submit the project report in three days as the end semester exams are going to start...!!

Swara: Hey...!! Why do you always steal my lines...?!?!

Sanskaar: To see this priceless expression on your face right now...!! You actually look like 'Donald Duck'...!!

Saying this he releases his hold on her waist and runs back to the car...

Swara: What...?!! Donald Duck...?!! Wait...!! I'll definitely kill you today...!!

Saying this she, too, runs after him...

MUMBAI...

MAHESHWARI MANSION...

Sanskaar and Laksh both are in Sanskaar's room...

Laksh: What the hell, bhai...!! You kissed her, told her that you love her and still haven't proposed her yet...!!

Sanskaar: Actually, I said I think I'm falling in love with her...!!

Laksh: What...?!! You didn't even tell her that properly...?!!

Sanskaar: I thought she'll freak out on my sudden confession...!!

Laksh: You didn't tell her just because of your stupid assumption...?!!

Sanskaar: Are you trying to make me feel guilty...?!?!

Laksh: Exactly...!!

Sanskaar: I want her to be my girlfriend Laksh...!! It's just that I didn't want it to be that way...!! I want her to feel how special is she to me...!!

Laksh: Oh God...!! You are really very serious...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!!

Laksh: You called me Laksh, instead of Lucky...!!

Sanskaar: Seriously...!! In the entire thing I said you got this thing only...!!

Laksh: No...!! No...!! I got everything...!!

Sanskaar: Then, will you help me...?!?!

Laksh: Me...?!?!

He looks at him with wide eyes and mouth hung open...

Sanskaar: Now, don't give me that look...!! I helped you with your date...!!

Laksh: (closing his mouth) Yeah...!! Yeah...!! I know...!! Okay, what do I need to do...!!

Sanskaar: Nothing...!! Right now, I want her to concentrate on the exams...!! Exams are hardly a week away and she can't afford any distractions right now...!! Even if it's me...!!

Laksh: Got it, bro...!! Now, I should also go and study...!! I have my exams, too...!! Remember...?!?!

Sanskaar: (smiles) Right...!! Go...!!

Laksh leaves and Sanskaar hops on his bed to study...

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

Next day at the college...

Ragini: What...?!?!

Swara: Don't give me that look Ragini...!!

Ragini: Excuse me miss...!! You are supposed to get this reaction...!! You just had your first kiss and you are telling this to your best friend...!!

Swara: What are you trying to say...?!?!

Ragini: Nothing...!! Just tell me, are you both together now...?!!

Swara nods her head in a No...

Ragini: Why...?!?! You didn't answer yet...?!!

Swara: He hasn't asked yet...!!

Ragini: Don't worry, he will...!! Anyways, what else did he say...?!!

Swara: That we are not just friends anymore and...

"And very soon, you won't be nothing at all", says Kavita coming from behind...

Ragini: Nobody asked for your opinion...!!

Kavita: I'm not talking to you...!! It's Ms. Nobody...!!

Swara: I'm not Ms. Nobody...!!

Kavita: Wow, looks like she learnt to speak...!! Don't worry as soon as we get together, it will shut her automatically...!!

Ragini: We...?!!

Kavita: Yup...!! Me and Sanskaar...!!

Swara: What...?!!

Kavita: Yup...!! I'm going to propose him very soon...!!

Swara keeps looking at her dumbfounded and Kavita smirks...

Ragini: (holds Swara's hand in assurance and looks at Kavita) He hasn't accepted your proposal yet and you started thinking of your future...!!

Kavita: This is the future darling...!! What else do you think will happen...?!! That he will love somebody like Swara...?!!

Ragini: And why not...?!!

Kavita: Keep dreaming baby...!! There is no harm in dreaming...!!

Saying this she gives an evil laugh and walks away with her minions...

Ragini: Don't listen to her Swara, she is just trying to distract you...!! Concentrate on your exams first...!!

Swara: In a way she is right...!!

Ragini: What...?!!

Swara: I don't belong with a person like Sanskaar...!!

Ragini: And who are you to decide that...?!!

Swara: Nothing...!! Just forget it and go to class...!!

Ragini: Okay...!! Take care...!! And don't over think about anything...!!

Swara nods her head and leaves for her class...

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

After five days, Sanskaar calls Ragini...

Ragini: Hello...!!

Sanskaar: Hii Ragini...!! Actually I wanted to ask you something...!!

Ragini: What is it...?!?!

Sanskaar: What's wrong with Swara...?!!

Ragini: What about her...?!!

Sanskaar: It's just that it looks like something is bothering her...!! For almost five days, I have been noticing changes in her...!!

Ragini: God...!! I told this girl not to think about it...!!

Sanskaar: But what happened...?!!

Ragini: You happened...!! She thinks she is not good enough for you...!!

Sanskaar: And what makes her think that...?!!

Ragini: Kavita...!!

She tells him everything that happened that day...

Sanskaar: Okay...!! I'm going then...!!

Ragini: Where are you going...?!!

Sanskaar: To Swara's house...!!

Ragini: What...?!! It's almost twelve at night...!!

Sanskaar: But I have to go Ragini...!! It's Saturday and we have exams on Monday...!! If she will keep thinking like that how will she study...!!

Ragini: I told her that Kavita is doing this on purpose...!!

Sanskaar: Okay...!! Now, I'm hanging up...!! And I'll see this Kavita later...!!

Ragini: Alright, all the best...!!

Sanskaar: Thanks 'bro'...!!

Ragini: (shouts) I'm not a boy Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: (chuckles) Yeah...!! Right...!!

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

Swara is in her room trying to study when she hears a tap on her window...!! She looks at the clock which shows exactly 12:00 am...!! All of a sudden, all those horror movie start surfacing up...!!

Swara: (stuttering) Who's that...?!!

A tap on the window again...

Swara: (getting up from her chair) I'm asking who's there...!!

This time two taps in continuation...

Swara goes near the window and opens it...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Nahh...!! The ghost from your so called horror movies...!!

Swara: What are you doing here...?!?!

Sanskaar: Hanging down from your pipes is my favorite hobby now a days...!!

Swara: Stop joking Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Exactly...!! Stop questioning and pull me inside...!!

Swara holds his hand and pulls him inside...

Swara: Now, what are you doing here...?!!

Sanskaar: We have our exams in less than 48 hours and how am I supposed to study well when your sad face keep coming in front of my eyes again and again...!!

Swara: I'm not sad...!!

Sanskaar: Don't lie Swara...!! I know everything...!!

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

Sanskaar: Everything that happened between you and Kavita that day...!!

He takes her by hand and makes her sit on the bed and he himself sits in front of her on his knees...

Sanskaar: (cups her face) Swara...!! She is no one to decide who will be in my life and who not...!! She can't do anything herself that is why she's trying to distract you...!! Just remember one thing, you are the one and only one for me...!! No one can take your place...!! You got it...?!!

Swara nods her head...

Sanskaar: And who are you to decide that you are not good enough for me...?!!

Swara: Sorry...!!

Sanskaar: You must be...!! Now, give me your best smile...!!

Swara gives a slight smile...

Sanskaar: Not this one...!! The million dollar one that took my heart away...!! The smile of my Baby Penguin...!!

Swara: Baby Penguin...?!! You broke your promise again...!!

Sanskaar: Sorry...!!

He holds his ear just like a five year old boy and Swara starts laughing...

Sanskaar: Shh...!! Mr. TR is sleeping and we definitely don't want him to tell your Maa that I was here for the whole night...!!

Swara: Whole night...!! No, you are not staying...!! Just go back...!!

Sanskaar: I'm not leaving you...!!

Swara: I'm alright Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Just for today...!! I mean, tonight...!!

Swara: No...!!

Sanskaar: I'll go back by 04:00 a.m.

Swara: But I need to study...!!

Sanskaar: No, you need to rest...!!

Swara: But I haven't completed yet...!!

Sanskaar: Alright, sleep for four hours and study after I go back...!!

Swara: But...

Sanskaar: No, Swara...!! You need to have proper rest or else you'll forget whatever you have studied...!! You have tomorrow also to study...!! Okay...?!!

Swara: (nods her head) Okay...!!

Sanskaar: Now, come...!! Rest for a while...!!

He hops on her bed and lies down... Swara, too, lies down resting her head on his chest...

After hardly 20 seconds...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Now what Swara...?!!

Swara: Am I really a bad kisser...?!!

Sanskaar: (tightens his hold around her shoulders) I'll tell you that on our next round...!!

With that both of them close their eyes falling asleep in each other's arms...!!

Episode ends...!!
