Trials of Love - Swasan

Chapter 3- Sanskar demands an answer

Swara saw the anger in his eyes and quietly left from there. She now knew that it would be in the best interest of everyone if she didn't befriend Sanskar. It was bad enough for Shekhar that Shamishta invited them over but any sort of mingling with them would upset her Dad and she wouldn't be able to bare that. She took a deep breath before going downstairs again where she saw Ragini who was still talking to Laksh. Laksh was their friend since childhood and even came along with Swara to England. There they had spent some unforgettable moments. He was the only friend she had when she arrived and he left no stone unturned to take care of her and made sure that she never felt sad. Swara went over to Ragini and took the phone out of her hands and disconnected the call. 

"Swara!" Ragini yelled giving Swara an angry look. "What was that for?"

"You've talked to him for too long. Mom is calling you go to her." Swara responded with an angry glare and Ragini left quietly as she knew there was no point in arguing with her. Swara went to the living room and sat on the couch with her phone. Sanskar approached her but she ignored him. He tried talking to her but she left from there and went to her room leaving behind a confused Sanskar. 

"What's wrong with her?" Sanskar thought to himself, confused by Swara's odd behaviour. She was talking to him non-stop a moment ago and now she was avoiding him. Sanskar shrugged his thoughts and went to his mother who was talking to Shamishta and Ragini. After some time, the Maheshwari's left from there. 

The next day, Swara was in her black jogging suit as she walked through the gate of Gadodia Mansion. One of the servants served her juice and straight after drinking it she went upstairs to her room to change. She changed into a simple pair of jeans along with a shirt and left her hair open with some minimal makeup. She went downstairs to eat breakfast and left for University with Ragini. It was was 8 am by then and the sun was shining brightly disturbing Swara's view so she put on her sunglasses as she got out of her car and shut the door behind. She picked up her crossbody bag whilst heading to the classroom ready for her first class. She entered into her classroom and they all looked at her and started whispering. She then saw Prerna who waved at her and indicated Swara to sit next to her which Swara did. "Why are they all looking at me?" A confused Swara asked Prerna. "Did I do something?"

"Of course not! You didn't do anything. They're all looking at you because you're the daughter of The Shekhar Gadodia and on top of that you've come from England." Prerna answered as the class returned chatting among themselves.

The teacher entered inside and immediately the class became quiet. It was 20 minutes into the lesson when a guy entered inside excusing himself for being late. It was Sanskar. "I'm sorry I'm late. Actually there was traffic I couldn't find a taxi." Sanskar said as he entered inside the classroom. The teacher blinked in assurance and told him to go to his seat. Swara noticed Sanskar in the classroom and took a deep breath, trying to hide her face but it went in vain as Sanskar saw her and waved but she didn't wave back, remembering what her Dad said yesterday. Sanskar looked at her confused but shrugged off his thoughts thinking that she may be worried due to some reason. Soon the class had finished and it was break. Swara along with Prerna and Ragini went to the canteen where they saw Laksh sitting with a guy. 

"Oh I almost forgot! Swara this is Anurag, our friend." Prerna said as she introduced him to Swara.

"Only friend?" Anurag asked reacting to Prerna's statement.

"Oops sorry. My boyfriend and their friend. Happy?" Prerna corrected herself and looked at Anurag with a sarcastic smile.

"Better." Anurag replied.

"Anyways, Anurag this is Swara, mine and Laksh's childhood friend and Ragini's sister." Prerna introduced them to each other.

"Hi! Nice to finally meet you Swara. Prerna talks about you a lot." Anurag said.
