MITWAA - Love Will Find a Way

Part 8 : One Step Closer

Swara: (angrily) Because he expects Nightingale to be absolutely pretty... and for heaven sake Ragini... I'M NOT PRETTY...!!

A tear drop escapes her eyes... Ragini moves towards her and cups her face in her palms...

Ragini: Don't you dare to say like that about my best friend...!! You are absolutely beautiful Swara...!!
Swara: Huhh...!! I know you are saying this to make me feel better...!!
Ragini: Of course not...!! You... are... beautiful...!! You just don't acknowledge the fact...!! You just need to break out of your shell... You need to allow someone inside the hard core walls surrounding your heart...!! And I have a feeling that Sanskaar is the person...!!
Swara: No Ragini... obviously not...!! He is the Sanskaar Maheshwari... I'm just no match for him... and also above that I have no such feelings for him...!!
Ragini: Please Swara... Stop underestimating yourself...!!
Swara: Come on Ragini... accept the truth... The moment he will get to know that the Nightingale he has been searching for so desperately is none other than me... he will even regret the moment he heard me singing...!!
Ragini: But he loves your voice...!!
Swara: Exactly...!! He loves my voice... not me...!! And trust me he would never like the fact that I'm the owner of that voice...!!
Ragini: Okay fine... But first tell me... Do you like him...??
Swara: No...!! Right now I said that I don't like him like that...!! (gets flustered thinking about his kiss)
Ragini: But your face seems to be telling an entire different story... (crosses her arms across her chest) So... are you going to tell me...??
Swara: What...??
Ragini: Why are you blushing...??
Swara: I... I'm... not... blushing....!!
Ragini: Yes you are... Now spill the beans babes... you know you can't hide anything from me...!!
Swara: Its nothing... Just a friendly gesture...!!
Ragini: And what exactly was this friendly gesture...??
Swara: (mutters under her breath) Hekissedmycheeks...!!
Ragini: Wait... what...!! Come again...!!
Swara: (face palms herself and takes a deep breath) He kissed my cheeks...!!
Ragini: (shouts) He totally likes you...!!
Swara: What... no... stop it Ragini... I don't think so...!!
Ragini: Well I think it's time to change your thinking...!!
Swara: What do you mean...??
Ragini: You'll see...!!

Its been two hours since Ragini has been searching for her so called 'THE BEST' dress for Swara but apparently nothing seems to meet her expectation... whereas on the other hand Swara gets hell tired after trying so many dresses and right now she is sprawling on one of the sofa waiting for Ragini to show up with another bundle of dresses...!! Just then Ragini comes running and squealing her way...

Ragini: I found it... I found it...!!
Swara: (confused and shocked) What...??
Ragini: It's the best for you Swara...trust me... you are going to look amazing in this...!!

Ragini shows her a dress...

Swara: (shocked) R... Ragini...!! Are you sure about this...??
Ragini: Of course... now get up Ms. Lazy bones and try this on...!!

Ragini hands over the dress to Swara and pushes her inside the trial room...

-------------------------------.

Next day... during the lunch hour... Swasan and Raglak are sitting on their lunch table... Swara and Ragini are arguing about something whereas Sanskaar and Laksh are just trying to figure out the topic they are talking... well actually arguing on... since last 10 minutes...

Ragini: Why don't you agree Swara...??
Swara: Because that thing is totally not me...!!
Ragini: But there is no use arguing... I have already bought it... and that's final...!!
Swara: What... no... but...??
Sanskaar: (interrupting in between) Woah... woah... guys hold on...!!
Laksh: Are you both going to tell us what's going on...??
Ragini: Nothing... I bought a dress for Swara to wear at the freshers's party and she is refusing to wear it...!!
Sanskaar: Why...??
Swara: Because... it's... too... too... exposing...!!
Ragini: Come on Swara... We don't call that exposing... It's not like I'm asking you to wear something shoulder less or backless...!!
Swara: But it's almost like that...!!
Ragini: No its not...!! It's a decent modern dress...!!
Sanskaar: Oh shit...!!
Laksh: What happened Bhai...??
Sanskaar: The last thing I ever wished was to have a decent girl as a date...!! I wished to someone really hot you know...!!
Swara: (hitting Sanskaar's arm) That you must have thought before forcing me and announcing me to be your date in front of everyone...!!
Sanskaar: What to do...?? May be next time I'll get me hand on someone really hot and drool worthy date...!!
