PRESENCE - MAKES YOU OR BREAKS YOU

15

As she reads the msg , she start the preparation to go to his house . She informs ashish and soumya about it . It's almost 2:30 pm when they finish with their work , shweta go to her room and she is still confused what to wear . Till now she never bothered about how she looks but now it's something different . She takes two dresses in her hand and walks in soumya's room and asks her ,

Shweta - which one ( she asks while holding them in front of her )

Soumya - you are fine right ?

Shweta - soumya don't ask questions , tell me which one I should wear .

Soumya - the right one ( she said and looked at her phone and then looked at her and found her smiling . She again spoke ) by the way , I know you from years but you never bothered about what to wear , you know you are behaving weird from the time you met darshan , ( she is so lost that she didn't hear her ) shweta , are you listening ?

Shweta while sitting next to her - why you guys are behaving like this . Like tell me what's so weird in me after meeting him

Soumya - ( she laughs ) you really wanna know ?

Shweta - yes

Soumya - OK then , wait ( she closes the door , comes and sits back , she take her to mirror and make her sit on the chair which is in the front of mirror ) this shy smile , we never saw it on your face . This blush which is coming on your face , whenever we are taking Darshan's name . The way you were behaving with him yesterday , like you know each other from years . He was having your photos in his phone and still you were quite , strange ! Because the shweta we know doesn't even allow her friends to click her picture . First time in so many years you are bothering about what to wear , like from when , you started thinking about how you look . Because our shweta never used to care about what people think , she just used to wear what she loves . And why the hell are you so excited to go to Darshan's House , from morning you have almost told us thousand times that we have to go there . And most importantly the girl who used to keep love away from her , was talking about love with ashish . And you still want to know what's so wired in you after meeting him .

Before shweta could explain her they hear ashish's voice , ' girls get ready we need to leave or else we will get late ' , ashish almost saved her but she knew somewhere she need to answer them , as they will caught up slight changes in her behaviour as they know her .

She avoids soumya and while getting out from the room she speaks ,' soumya , when I'll find the answers to them , I'll surely tell you both the first , but please give me some time and stop telling me that I'm behaving weird '

They all get ready and leave for his house . Soumya and ashish get down from the car , and shweta informs them with his flat no . She parks the car , takes her lapi and moves forward and something comes under her shoes , she takes back her leg and picks it up and thinks to give it to darshan rather than anyone else .

Ashish and soumya are waiting for her to come and as she enters , they ring the bell , someone opens the door and they get in .

Shweta - vikas , where is darshan ?

And he informs , ' he has asked you to settle down , he is in the studio working on something '.

Shweta sits silently , but from inside she is eager to see him and suddenly she hears her voice on Tera Zikr , she keep her lapi aside and follow the direction of voice . She is standing out of his studio room , she think whether to open or not but then she open the door and get in , and her eyes land on him , wearing a blue tee and looking fucking handsome , but he's busy doing something on the computer while having his coffee . He clicks enter and rotate his chair to go in the living area , but as he turns his eyes land on her , her hairs flowing freely due to the wind passing from window , and he can't take his eyes off her as she's wearing blue dangri , a white spaghetti , a bangle in her one hand , he is mesmerised by her simple look . But composing himself he speaks up

Darsh - what are you doing here ?

Shweta came back to senses with his voice , ' woh actually , I heard my voice , so '

Darsh - OK , actually I was just removing the other voices from it . So that it sounds clear . I have send you the audio .
She just nodded her head and spoke , ' darshan , but ...'

Cutting her he speak up , ' it would be better if you will call me sir 'and he goes out and ask her to come . She is standing still thinking , then why he asked her to call to call him darshan yesterday . While having the same thought she come out , and open the ppt

They start with explaining him all their plan , from clothing till where they will shoot . Shweta completes it and asks , ' OK , so now you can tell darshan ( she pauses and speaks ) sir , if you need some changes in it '

Darsh - ( he notice her discomfort in calling him sir but he can't help out ) no , like you have a awesome plan . I did not think you would do this better in just the first photoshoot

Ashish - the all credit goes to shweta , she knows you so well , that everything formed out to be perfect for Mr.Perfectionist

Darsh - Mr.Perfectionist ?

Ashish - ya this is what she thinks of you , like every girl's dream man , or to say her

Shweta and darshan both look at him

Shweta - ashish stop your nonsense , I'm sorry

Darsh - it's ok , you need not to be

Shweta - OK , will see u on Monday

They gather all the stuff , and soumya and ashish leave . Shweta is near the doorway , when she turns and comes to him

Shweta - I would be glad if you delete my pictures from your phone

Darsh looked at her and said , ' I already deleted them '

Shweta - ok , she turns to leave but again stops and continues , ' Darshan I don't know how much you know your fans , but your fans know you so well , they can tell you looking at you that something is bothering you right now , I don't know exactly what but your eyes speak up that you are tensed about something . I guess your fans can change your mood , just try it once , and you will love them more ' speaking up she turns to go but his voice stops her

Darsh - how did you get to know that ?

Shweta - ( she smiles and turns ) , your smile isn't reaching your eyes , you are pro in doing this., like hiding your pain behine a smile . But you know what yes , a smile can hide your pain but just from the people who don't know you and not from those people who know you . You know why , because they are pro in reading your eyes , which can never lie to your blue fam . We are always their darshan , you can share your heart out with us anytime . It's just for saying a family or you mean it , like I know till the time you won't mean it you won't speak it , so just share it what your heart wants to say , if not with us then you have many people around you , in front of whom you can open up

Darsh - ( he stands up from his place and stands in front of her ) thank you

Shweta - oh god , please don't start again , I get hell angry with your thank you session

Darsh chuckle on her words

Shweta - spreadlove

Darsh - spreadlove

With that she go and they drive back to their apartment
