SwaSan: My Boss

Part 6

It’s been five days since Swara is been at home and she’s all the more bored of sitting at home. She wants to go to office and just go out but she can’t go due her leg she had asked Sanskar to get walking sticks but it didn’t help, the pressure was too much for Swara to take on her upper body.

Sanskar is always late in the mornings and gives her all the lame and dumb excuses but now Swara just ignores him. But today he has to take her to the meeting with Vivek Verma, it’s really very important for her and she’s been wanting to collaborate with him from a long time and now he’s agreed and asked her to meet him and Swara too agreed.

Since the meeting was at his office in the afternoon, Swara had to leave in the morning itself as it was away from her apartment. But he hadn’t turned up yet. She called him again and again and then he was there.

“I know my presence is what girls wait for and you keep calling me? It’s okay I understand what you go through” he ran his hand over his hair.

“Okay enough! We’re getting late, you need to get me down and up,if you do so I will allow you to come late for next three days.” Swara had a good deal with him and Sanskar thought for few seconds and agreed.

Swara was taken into his arms and she was looking at his face, but he didn’t even look at her, he was just looking at the way. Swara was going on admiring him, for past few days, he had been taking care of her really well and she always shouted at him, she didn’t want to but somehow, it happened. Yet this man was taking care of her.

She looked at him again then shrugged her head. What happened to her? Why was she even looking at him like that? Finally he placed her safely in the backseat of the car and he placed her chair and got all the files and sat on the front seat and the driver drove away. She thanked God at that moment, what dilemma and in confusion she was.

All the way she concentrated on the files and meeting. Once they were there, she was nervous and excited.
Vivek Verma greeted her “I am Vivek Verma, call me Vivek, so without wasting time we should get to the point and begin with the meeting”

Swara nodded and discussed about her project and work, she was in the flow with her presentation when she noticed Sanskar dozing behind Vivek. For a moment she was irritated but then she continued with the presentation.

Vivek clapped making Sanskar awake, “well miss Bose, I genuinely appreciate your time and efforts on this project and specially your dedication. In this situation also you are working, well I guess you deserve this deal, we should have collaborated long back but I guess right time has come. We’ll sign up for the deal. Rest formalities we’ll do later on”

“Thank you so much, I will definitely keep you with the deal, I m sure you won’t regret with the deal and will keep your expectations” Swara nods.

Vivek shakes hands with her and Sanskar and both leave after Vivek leaves.

Swara was on cloud nine. Her happiness had no boundaries, she wanted to jump but she couldn’t. She bids bye to him while signing up the deal.

Sanskar carried her the way down and again was in the same place going home. The driver rode car and it was not late evening but sun was up and Swara noticed it was disturbing Sanskar who was fast asleep on the front seat. Even the deflector was not helping. She asked the driver to stop by and woke Sanskar up.

“Come behind, you’re making the driver sleepy, he might get us in hospital”

“No madam, I m fine” the driver opened his mouth. Sanskar looked at her in confusion as driver was saying one thing and she was in her own.

“He’s okay with it then why you want me to come over?”

“I have seen him, you better come back. There’s enough space.” Swara said, and he was still confused but he came over.
Sanskar again fell asleep on the way home. Swara was awake for sometime but then again she hadn’t slept since last night because of the presentation and excitement and she was taking medicines because of that she felt asleep.

Her pov
I’m feeling darn sleepy but my left leg is vibrating and I feel like my phone buzzing in my pocket but I feel it heavy too. I open my eyes only to find Sanskar on my lap holding my one hand. He looks so cute and innocent. I ruffle his hair. I feel I should not doing anything like that but my phone buzzed again, I feel like punching that person who’s calling me, he nuzzles and sniffles to my hand. He’s not awake yet. I slowly moved his face and removed my buzzing phone.
“Ragini” it flashed, I don’t think it is important. So I put it on silent and placed it the cupholder.
I began to caressing his hair and a smile crept on my face. Wait! What am I even doing? Have I lost my mind? The most irritating person is sleeping on my lap and I don’t even wake him up?! I have gone nuts! I shrugged my head and patted on his cheek slowly.

He got up from his slumber and looked at me with confusion. Then realized that he was on me. He apologized to which I nodded my head and turned my face the other side. One thing I realized after we reached home was, we were still holding hands. I realized that when he left his hand and got down to take me up to home.
