Loving You With All My Heart

Just Ignore!

LOVING YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

PART -1

Elite University is a university with a high concentration of elite students. Students from super-elite backgrounds prefer to congregate here. The sky is clear and a moderate wind blowing since it is early in the morning. The beautiful gate of the institution opens, and students can be seen strolling around, laughing and enjoying themselves. The scene transitions to a group of individuals discussing about something at a side table. "Hey, Rohit! I heard Swara is joining today, is it true?" asks Yash intriguingly. "Yes, buddy! Swara, my darling will be here shortly," Rohit says while patting his cheeks.

Just then, an Audi approaches the campus, and Swara is seen waving to her group mates sliding up the window. "Lo there she comes, my darling." Rohit beams.

Swara parks her car and runs up to her friends, where she hugs Ragini, her best friend who was also present there. "Rags! I missed you so much," she breaks the hug and turns to others, "I genuinely missed all of you. Ah! I'm relieved to be back," she exclaims. 

"We missed you too, Swara," Ragini says while embracing her in a side hug.

"C'mon Swara darling, you hugged rags but not me? That's not done, I'm hurt," "How many times have I told you not to call me darling, Rohit? I'm not your girlfriend," Swara said straightly leaving Rohit disappointed as others chuckled.

"All right, guys, let's get to class," Yash remarks as the bell rang. "Guys, go ahead. I'm catching up after taking out my bag," Swara hurriedly approaches her parked car. Swara takes out her bag and while turning she sees a glimpse of someone passing her, riding a bicycle. 

"Amidst all cars and bikes on the campus, who's he riding a bicycle?" Swara thought to herself. Soon she shrugs off her thoughts and walks ahead toward her classroom.

....................

The lecturer enters the classroom and announces, "Attention students, we're having a new batchmate with us. (To Swara) You can come in." Swara enters the classroom and introduces herself, "Hello, everyone! Swara Mehra here. I was late in joining but I hope to get along with you all, thank you!" While everyone applause, she bows and looks around and a boy having two block haircut with spectacles, digging in the book, catches her attention. "Ms Swara, you may sit on any of those empty seats," says the lecturer politely preparing himself for writing on the board. Swara nods and takes a seat beside Ragini still looking at the boy in the corner. 

Soon the class ends and before leaving, the lecturer calls out the boy with spectacles saying, "Sanskaar, please help Swara with your notes as she joined late, okay? (Looking at Swara) And Swara, if you face any problem ask Sanskaar as he's the topper. We, teachers, are also there for you too, so don't hesitate." The lecturer leaves while Swara keeps looking at Sanskaar.

....................

In the cafeteria, 

"Yaar Swara, how did you manage your dad for letting you study here? I mean he was so firm about making you study in London," questions Ragini while standing with her lunch beside Swara who's still busy ordering her food. 

"Ah! Just don't get me started Rags. You have no idea how much drama I had to go through for this," Swara sighs and turns, taking her lunch but suddenly dashes with a solid muscular body, ruining his clothes with her food.  She looks at the person with her half-open eyes and finds Sanskaar sweeping his clothes. He, then, bends down and starts picking up the fallen foods followed by Swara. 

"Um. . .I'm sorry, I didn't notice. I ruined your clothes and I'm extremely sorry for that," she continued but Sanskaar didn't utter a single word rather he helps her in picking up the food left behind on the ground and leaving for the washroom. Swara tries to talk to him but seeing him going she says raising her voice from behind, "Listen, I'm sorry, and don't curse me please! (Murmurs) Is he deaf or what? Can't he even say it's okay?" 

"Let it be Swara, that nerd won't reply," Rohit says while frowning over Sanskaar. "Kyu?" asks Swara looking his way. "He's like that only, Swara. He hardly talks and most of the time stays alone. Pure Introvert," says Karan which is then supported by Rohit saying, "Introvert bhi aur Garib bhi. Didn't you see how he's the only guy who rides bicycles instead of bikes and cars?" Mocks him and laughs with Karan. 

Swara remembers the glimpse she saw earlier and murmurs, "Oh! so he's the cycle guy."

....................

Later, in the afternoon, after finishing all their classes they make plans for hanging out for some time. "It's been a while since we hanged out. Let's go somewhere, what say?" Ragini asks looking at Swara. "I've to collect some books from the library. As you know Rags I'm lagging a bit behind," Swara says pouting while Ragini smiles. "Achha baba thik hai. Kisi aur din hangout pe chalein jayenge, tu jaa." "Thanks, yaar. So I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye!" She says happily and leaves the place in a swift.

....................

Swara runs into the library and takes a deep breath. "Finally, I'm here my babies, my peace, my books," says spreading her arms and seeing her beaming smile anyone can say how much she adores libraries that are full of books. She starts picking up books by her favourite authors and while doing this her eyes fall on Sanskaar across the shelf, who was busy writing notes. She keeps staring at him and thinks to herself, "Why am I feeling some unknown attraction toward him. Whenever I see him, I keep seeing him only. Maybe because he seems quite different from others. Yeah, that might be the only reason I can come up with, at least for now," she takes a turn to leave but stops and again looks at him while thinking, "should I say a Hi? (Shaking her head) No. No Swara. Have you forgotten how he ignored your sorry earlier? Do you think he will even give a reply to your hi? Better you mind your business Swara," warns her inner self. 

She again turns to leave but her body automatically takes a U-turn taking her ahead of him. "Swara what are you even doing? Turn back Swara, just turn back," her mind keeps screaming whereas the heart keeps ignoring it. Before she can realize it, she finds herself in front of him which he fails to notice. She clears her throat and speaks up, "May I have the permission to sit here? (Seeing no response, she scolds herself) Oh Great! Karwali na apni bezzati tune Swara. Fool. Mana Kiya tha k maat ja, lekin nahi tujhe toh sunnahi nahi hai. Fool, ugh!  (Realizing something) Okay, but wait! Why am I even asking his permission? It's not like he owns this place or something. Huh! Swara kitni bewakoof hai na tu bhi. Ah! Just ignore him and sit." Swara pulls the chair in annoyance and sits in front of him, not before giving him a silent glare.

Later, Sanskaar takes off his Bluetooth earphones and lifts his eyes to look around only to find probably the most astonishing moment that ever happened in his life. Swara was laughing her heart out. Her laughter with an open mind leaves him mesmerized and the only thing he wants to do was capturing her complete attention. His heart started beating faster and an unusual feeling started taking over him. Soon he realizes that, if she catches him gazing at her in this way then it might leave an inappropriate impression. So he shifts his gaze and starts looking here and there.

After a moment, Swara gets a call and her angelic smile fades. She picks up the call and after a short time, stands from her place saying, "What? But how? Okay, hold on Sameer, and just relax. I'm on my way." Swara collects her belongings and rushes out. There Sanskaar was noticing everything through the corner of his eyes. "Maybe something happened to her boyfriend. Will she be okay? (He thought himself then realizes) Wait, why am I even bothering? Yeah, okay I was lost in her laugh for a while but that's all. I shouldn't be bothered with what she's going through and all." He gets up for leaving but finds a piece of paper on the ground. His focus was not on that paper but on the writing of that paper. He picks that up and looks on.
