Sanskar's POV:
I came out of my room after attending Laksh's call. 'I have remembered the time, I let you go from that dark cellular jail or the time I have dropped you here to go far away from me before I will change my mind & captivate you again or the time you have saved me from crossroads & caught me up in your lap. You may or mayn't remember any of those, but I do & this is what I have to say to you; today, no matter what it takes, we will grow together, will make our lives worthwhile & I promise to make you smile.', I thought & rushed towards swara.
She was looking at me ambiguously & asked questionably,"Sanskar! Who has called you now? Is there any problem? Has your identity revealed by chance?" A sense of phobia & anxiety were clearly reflected from her facial expression. I was confused as why was she asking me these types of awful questions?
In flustered tone, I asked her,"Why are you asking me these types of questions?" Without making any delay, she immediately replied,"This is your new number. Except me, none has any idea about this phone number. So, who has called you now?" By saying so, she hugged me tightly like she didn't want anybody to take away her love from her sight.
I was overwhelmed by looking her pious love for me. Many mixed emotions were surging in my heart. Honestly! There was never a time or a place for true love! It happened accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing & throbbing moment.
I parted her from me & gently rubbed my palms on her cheeks & said,"Swara! Don't be frightened. It's a call from the bank. You must have remembered that before some days I have gone to bank & for some information, their agent has called me as i have given this new number there." I lied to her again by hiding about the call from laksh. It wasn't that I didn't want to convey her about laksh but I was waiting for the proper time to unveil this truth to her.
She was relieved after hearing my words but with much anguish, she yelled,"How can I forget that day, Sanskar; when I have come to know about my real existence. I am born to bear the hatred."
I gave a peck on her forehead & said,"You are my angel. You remind me of the goodness in this world and inspire me to be the greatest sane version of myself. Then how can you say that you are born to be loathed.. Look at my eyes swara! You can see the myriad of passion & endurance of love in my eyes only for you! And from now onwards, you won't live alone. We be life, we be fire, we be light, we sing electric flame, we rumble underground wind, we dance heaven! We be together & face the obstacles further."
In a state of shock, she fumbled,"Then won't you ever leave me sanskar?" I nodded,"Yes,I won't leave you." & after listeing this, like an innocent child, she jumped in extreme joy. I held her from her shoulder & said,"Now don't be sad ever! And swara! Talk to your mom once. My friend always says,'Truth has many sides...' So, talk to her & sort out this matter." Suddenly her facial expression changed to a serious one & she said,"No way sanskar! I can't talk to her now. I even don't know how to face her or what to ask her..."
She was right at her own place & this wasn't a mere issue to be settled immediately. Above all, today was the day when I officially accepted my feelings in front of her. So, I didn't want to spoil this exquisite moment by making her sad. Therefore, to divert her mind, I said,"No problem swara! Take your time. But don't be dishearten today. I am sorry for my behaviour of day before yesterday. You have fondly cooked for me but I haven't appreciated you. But today I want to make up for that mistake."
Cutting my words, in a chuckling voice, she asked,"So! Mr.Sanskar! Are you going to perform the activities of a chef today for your angel?" I giggled & said,"Anything for you, your highness!" She grasped me from my waist & put her head on my chest & said,"Sanskar! Life is beautiful because it is a controlled yet chaotic dance of ups & downs where we are blessed with the ability to sense those pains & pleasure equally. And I have already experienced the sufferings.. Now it is the turn to endeavor meadows of felicity."
I felt happy for her still I was unsure for my future. I didn't know about the Pandora's box that my future had stored for me. I gently parted her away from me & said,"Now let me go, else how can I make food? Then your Majesty will suspend me from chef's job."
In a sniggeringly voice, she said,"Sanskar! Now if you don't prepare delicious foods, then I will surely terminate your job." By saying so, she started beating me softly. I couldn't take off my gaze from her & entangled my hands inside her fluffy & lustrous hair & dragged her closure to me & planted a kiss on her temple & cheeks & then quickly rushed to the kitchen by leaving her there.
Swara's POV:
He wouldn't leave me now. He, himself had agreed to stay with me forever. I leaped in bliss & just then he kissed me on my cheeks which made me startled. His sudden reaction in form of a kiss turned my face to crimson red. Honestly! No one could know her own beauty or perceive a sense of her own worth until it has been reflected back to her in the mirror of another loving & caring human being. I realised my worth today because sanskar was a part of my life.. Oops! He was my life not a mere part only.
I went to kitchen to help him. But he clearly denied to take my help. Instead he grabbed me from my waist and lifted me to the elevated shelf of the kitchen & said,"Be seated here & enjoy my cooking." With much love, he was cooking for me. A few drop of tears came out of my eyes by making them moist as till now none could ever try to cook for me, not even my own mother.
Watching him cooking for me with so much love & concentration, I felt like hugging him tightly to show my gratification. Just then he looked at me & while covering the food stuffs with lids, he asked,"Why are you checking me out?" I came out of my thoughts & while tugging a hair strand behind my ear, I recited,"Check out!! Huh! Well! Mr. Chef I am checking you out to understand the methods of preparation of these delicious food stuffs & I don't know that you can also cook."
While sprinkling pinches of spices on the Chicken Marengo, he replied,"You have actually spoiled my attitudes. So, I sit idle here else in the dark world, I have used to do all my stuffs of my own." I looked at him contently & asked,"Will you teach me the procedures to make these recipes?"
He nodded smilingly & put me down from the elevated shelf & said,"Now go. Seat on the dining table. I will serve you in minutes." I hugged him tightly to let my emotions outrush & said,"Before meeting you, my life is a burden for me. Death is easier & painless to me than life itself. But not anymore sanskar! I want to live, to cherish every moment with you. Life is beautiful when you are with me."
He consoled me by hugging back tightly & uttered,"Nothing will happen to you. Till I am with you, even death has to defeat me to touch you. Now cheer up else my food stuffs will be salty due to your tears." I smiled feebly & beat him softly.
He grabbed my two hands & said,"Oh gosh! Earlier I have beaten many people but now I will be beaten everyday. Oh god! Save me." I laughed heartily due to his tantrums & he said,"Always be happy swara! Your beauty touches its excellence during happiness. Now go else I need to heat up the pan again." I nodded & left the kitchen.
Sanskar's POV
Today, I cooked only for her. Till today, after my mom's death, nobody cared for me in the way she had done in past couple of months. But suddenly she was so worried & scared for her death that those anxiousness, nervousness & uneasiness were quite fairly visible through her changing facial expressions. Though I was able to console her & to divert her mind by my silly jokes but from inside I was too scared for her health after remembering the words of laksh.
When she moved out of kitchen, I immediately messaged Laksh to arrange a doctor within 2 days. Within minutes, I got his reply that he had already arranged a reputed doctor of USA and by tomorrow evening, he would come here to check up swara. I thanked laksh through message & served all the foods on dining table.
Swara's POV
Different colourful varieties of food stuffs were adorned on the dinning table like charming petals were blossomed on the meadows of grassland vegetation. We ate together. I tasted all the recipes and honestly! I couldn't find a little bit of lacuna in the preparation. All dishes were up to mark & tasted delicious. Might be the love, he had poured in it during preparation, made the taste heavenly.
Breaking the silence, he asked hesitantly,"Swara! I want to tell something serious to you. Please agree with it. Don't deny." The half gulped chicken bite came out of my mouth after hearing his words. Did he want to leave me now? Had all these preparations made to cherish our last moments of togetherness?
I asked him restlessly,"Do you want to leave me?" He kept his left palm on my hand & squeezed it a bit to give me assurance that he wasn't leaving. Hurriedly I asked,"What is the matter, sanskar?" In a confused tone, he said,"swara! I want you to check up from a doctor for your disease. Please don't disagree..."
In a relaxed tone, I said,"Oh!! This is the matter.. OK sanskar! I will again go to the doctor for check up but I am continuing my medicine. So, there isn't any trouble." Cutting my words, he said,"No! No! I have arranged a doctor to check you up here only as I can't accompany with you if you will go to your regular doctor as you are a famous name in the society & this can also reveal my identity of being alive. So, specially I have arranged a doctor from abroad to treat you."
Without any hesitation, I accepted to him as love was made up of three unconditional properties in equal measures: acceptance, understanding & appreciation. Truly I understood his care for me & I felt happiness to get him in my life.
To cheer him up, I said,"So, Mr. Chef! Food is flavourful. I won't terminate you from job. What will you demand in salary?" He smiled & said,"I can make you smile by my little effort, that's all, I want. Well! About salary, let's see later. But now you go to sleep & be prepared for check up. Don't worry about these utensils. I will wash them before sleeping."
Through I asked to help him in washing but as if he would listen to me! He vividly protested and sent me to sleep. Might be life was all about twirling under one of those midnight skies, cutting a swathe through the breeze and gently closing your eyes, I thought and covered myself under the duvet to sleep peacefully before facing the unforeseen future tomorrow.
