It's A Love Story (Edited)

Unspoken Feelings

Swara's POV

Today was a whirlwind of emotions. Laksh's confrontation had left me rattled, but Sanskar's unexpected support had given me a strange sense of comfort. Why am I feeling this way? Why do I feel so cared for by him?

Swara's Group Chat

Sahil: So guys, what's the plan today? I'm getting bored.

Rajat: You're always bored. Go out with Ragini or something. Don't bother us.

Sahil: Shut up, Rajat! Please, guys, just tell me the plan for today.

Ragini: How about we go to CCD? It sounds like a good idea. What do you all think?

Sahil: Sounds awesome, Ragini!

Ragini: Shut up, Sahil.

Laksh: Ugh, stop the romance. I'll be there at CCD if no one minds. #swara

Rajat: Swara, you'll come, right?

Swara: Of course, guys. I'll be there. See you at CCD at 6:00 pm. Gotta get ready!

Ragini: See you soon!

At CCD (Café Coffee Day)

As I sat with my friends, chatting and laughing, my gaze fell on the entrance. My heart sank when I saw Sanskar walk in, holding hands with Amina. The sight of them together felt like a punch to my gut. The jealousy and hurt were overwhelming.

I tried to control my emotions, but the sting was too sharp. Sanskar was engrossed in conversation with Amina and Paras, barely noticing me. Feeling a sharp pang, I decided I couldn't stay. I abruptly stood up, surprising my friends, and made my way out.

Swara's POV

How could she hold Sanskar's hand? Wait, did I just think of him as my Sanskar? What is wrong with me? Why am I feeling hurt and jealous? Do I... love him? No, I can't. Love always hurts. I can't let myself fall for him.

The Next Day at College

Swara's POV

Determined to ignore Sanskar, I decided to avoid him today. I didn't want to come between his happiness.

As I walked into the college canteen, I saw Sanskar sitting with his friends. Trying to sidestep him, I moved toward my own group. But Sanskar's gaze followed me, his frustration evident.

"Guys, weekends are coming up, and we have a three-day holiday. We should plan a trip," I said, trying to keep my focus away from Sanskar.

Ragini: That sounds great, Swara. How about Mussoorie? It's beautiful and has stunning mountains.

Laksh: Good idea, Ragini. Let's do that!

Sanskar, clearly frustrated by my behavior, walked up to me and grabbed my hand, pulling me away from my friends. My friends looked on in surprise.

"I need to talk to you, Swara," Sanskar said firmly.

"Not right now, Sanskar. I'm busy with my friends. We can talk later," I replied, trying to refocus on my conversation.

Sanskar ignored my protests and led me to the staircase, where he pinned me against the wall.

"What's your problem? Why are you ignoring me?" he demanded.

"I'm not ignoring you. I'm just busy talking to my friends," I said, trying to avoid his gaze.

"But it feels like you're avoiding me. What's going on?" he pressed.

I couldn't look him in the eye.

"What's the matter, Swara?" Sanskar asked, his voice softening.

"Stay away from me, Sanskar. It's better for both of us," I said, my voice trembling.

I walked away, leaving Sanskar standing there, a mix of anger and confusion on his face.

Sanskar's POV

She's right. Maybe it's best if I stay away from her. It's for the best, for both of us.

Laksh and Ragini Watching

Ragini: Do you think something's going on between them, Laksh?

Laksh: I'm not sure, but I can see that Swara has feelings for Sanskar. She's trying to deny it, but it's obvious. (Tears well up in his eyes)

Ragini: Are you okay, Laksh?

Laksh: I want Swara to be happy, but I've hurt her so much. I've never seen her look so pained. She tried to push Sanskar away, but it's clear she cares deeply. (He leaves abruptly, tears streaming down his face.)

Ragini's POV

I don't know what the future holds for us. Once the truth comes out, it might tear everything apart. Only time will reveal what's written in our destiny.
