"If you said you were cold,
I would wrap my arms around you.
If you said you were thirsty,
I would give you the ocean blue.
I would give you anything:
The moon, the stars, the sunset too.
This heart in my hands,
I hold out to you.

~ 'Heart in My Hands' by Katiynd Jenkins

Swara slowly walks into her room not bothering to lock the door behind and makes her way straight towards her closet. But all this while she keeps on thinking.

Why did that happen? She knows that Sanskaar has sensed her discomfort but what is she supposed to say when he asks her? Was it, whatever she did, correct? What would he do tomorrow once the college opens?

Swara is all lost in her inner conflict when Sanskaar peeks into her room and finds her standing near her cupboard searching for her night clothes. Sensing someone's presence behind her she turns around only to see Sanskaar leaning against the door frame with his arms and legs crossed and his renowned smirk gracing his lips...!!

Swara: (smiles) So, you are leaving now...?!!

Sanskaar shifts from his position and stands straight stuffing his hands into his jeans pocket...

Sanskaar: (smiles) More like, we are leaving now...!!

Swara: (scrunching her brows a little bit) What do you mean by 'we'? I'm not going anywhere Sanskaar, it's almost...

Sanskaar: (cuts in between) I know it's almost 9:30 pm which means, we don't have much time to waste. So, get ready in five minutes. I'll be waiting outside.

Swara: But...

Sanskaar: I have already taken mother-in-law's permission, so, no more ifs and buts.

He turns to leave but looks back again...

Sanskaar: And yes, wear something comfortable. We might have to take a little walk. Now, get ready.

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

After a few minutes, Sanskaar's car is speeding down the highway leaving behind the clamor and noise of the city with each passing moment.

Swara rolls down the window of the car and takes a deep breath looking at the city painted silver-white and appearing a bit more alive in the moonlight. As the city buildings start getting replaced by tall trees and their path becomes quieter and quieter, she smiles out of relief and closes her eyes letting the slightly cool wind tickle her skin and helping her to forget everything that has happened in these past few days.

After almost an hour Sanskaar stops the car and Swara opens her eyes at the sudden halt. After taking a few moments for absorbing the surroundings, she looks at Sanskaar...

Swara: You brought me here?

Sanskaar: Why, do you have any problem?

Swara: But, why?

Sanskaar: I know how you have been feeling since last two days, so, I brought you here as we have so many special memories treasured over here. May be reliving them all over again would make you feel a little better.

Swara: (smiles looking at his sweet gesture) Thank you.

Sanskaar: So, shall we go princess?

Swara: (chuckles and looks around) But why did you stop here only? I guess we still have a few meters drive.

Sanskaar: I know but having a small walk won't hurt. Right?

Swara smiles and nods her head. And as it's said that, a smile is the most contagious thing, Sanskaar smiles back looking at her and kisses her cheeks. Then he gets down from the car, picks up a bag from the back seat and leads Swara out into the woods.
