Broken Wings

You Belong With Me

Sharon was sitting with a grumpy face beside him and Swayam was now driving since forty-five minutes but they both hadn't found her CHOCOLATE ICE- CREAM yet; and to add to Swayam's dismay Sharon was getting impatient with every passing second.

"Sharon let's get back home! I will bring you chocolate Ice-Cream, the first thing tomorrow morning." Swayam suggested wishing in his heart she would oblige.

But she was Sharon Shekhawat! What she wants she gets! She looked back at him with draggers in her eyes and Swayam quietly pulled the car forward because he wished to live for few more years.

"What is it when they talk about the bloody night life?" Sharon cribbed getting impatient now.

How could you just not get something as common as a chocolate Ice-Cream!

"Swayam , find me a chocolate Ice- Cream please!" Sharon said pleading like a child pleads to his parent for a new toy.

Swayam looked at her smiling at her cuteness and turned his eyes on the road and saw one oce-cream stall at the far end of the road.

"Sharon! Look there! There is an Ice-Cream stall!" Swayam excitedly pointed towards it and Sharon followed the direction of his finger and clapped her hands happily at the sight.

"Ice-Cream!" She screeched in happiness which Swayam cut off.

"Chocolate Ice-Cream!" He said making his eyes go wider and she smiled broadly at him.

                                                              **************

"Where is the vendor, mahn?" Swayam looked around keeping his hands on his hips. When his eyes fell on a sleeping figure on a bench near the stall.

He calculated something in his mind and moved towards him shaking him wildly while Sharon watched him shocked.

"What the hell Swayam? What are you doing?" She tried to stop him but the guy had turned unstoppable.

The man stirred in his sleep and woke up shocked and scared with an unfamiliar face hovering over his head.

"Excuse Me Sir, do you own this stall?" Sharon and the man watched him stunned.

The man nodded his head in daze. Swayam's face shone with a smile brighter than the stars.

Finally he has found it!

"You think you have chocolate ice cream in there?"  Swayam asked immediately.

"Yes!" The man answered still not over the shock.

"OH MY GOD!!!" Swayam hugged him tightly while the man couldn't even understand what was happening to him.

"Please! Please! Please! Will you give me? My wife is pregnant and is craving for it! To be frank, acting like a mad woman without it!" Swayam mumbled softly but Sharon heard him all right and opened her mouth at his audacity rewarding him with a smack on his arm.

                                                             ***************

Five minutes later, Sharon was eating two chocolates ice creams at the same time relishing the flavors in her mouth totally lost in some chocolate dreamland and Swayam watched her happy face with a smile. The smile which gave his life a meaning. The smile for which he lived his life.

"Who would believe she was going to be a mother pretty soon and was carrying a baby already? Such a child she was!" Swayam thought to himself and shook his head at her adorable antics.

Looking up Sharon found him smiling at her and she smiled back at him mumbling a "Thank You" to him before getting lost in her chocolate world again.
