The Saga of Love and Friendship

Chapter 7: Jealousy...

Bose Mansion

Swara and Sanskar were fighting, don't worry, not actually fighting. They were playing with pillows and Swara was hitting him like anything. Why? Because Sanskar hadn't informed her that he had reached the Kolkata airport and when he reached the Mansion, he scared her by silently peeping into her room and shouting in her ears. Seems a silly reason to fight, but these two didn't need any reason to fight. They could fight for any and every reason and at the end, end up laughing their hearts out. By the way, what did you guys think that they will ignore each other because they realised their feelings? Well, these two were entirely different. They could never ignore each other and then realising their feelings was for the best.
Back to them, they were sitting on the sofa in the living room with Swara's head on Sanskar's shoulder and he had wrapped his hands around her shoulders unknowingly. She was tired of the pillow fight.

Swara: Sansku, when is our flight to New York??

Sanskar: Ms Swara Bose, have you really become irresponsible or just joking here?? Because the Swara I know never forgets the date or time of even a small meeting and here you don't know when is our flight to New York.

Swara: Stop being over-dramatic and tell me the answer to my question... Otherwise... (and she raises her hands as if to strangle him)

Sanskar: (jokingly) Main toh dar gaya (I got frightened) ... (sees her glaring) Okay, okay... It's tomorrow morning from Delhi. We have to leave for Delhi today night. That means we have a total of (sees the watch) 5 hours to reach the airport. Jaldi karo nahi toh tum ladkiyan taiyaar hone mein itni der lagati ho jaise khud ki shaadi mein ja rahi ho... Huh... (Get ready otherwise you girls dress up like as if you are going to your own wedding)

Swara: Hey you, Maheshwari... Get a reality check. I am not like those typical girls who take hours to get ready. I can get ready in just 15 to 20 minutes. Understood?? And by the way, there's still time for my marriage to happen.

Sanskar: (raising his hands as if surrendering) Okay, okay!! I got it.

Swara: Good. Then I am going to cross-check all the documents and the presentation... Mom has already arranged my bag... You see yours...

Sanskar: (smiling) Okay...

And then he unknowingly kissed her forehead gently with her still in his arms. This was so blissful. The feel of his rough lips against her soft skin felt magical. Even though it was the first time he kissed her, there was nothing awkward or uncomfortable. There was a peaceful silence. And then she, blushing profusely, got up and ran towards her room. She was all stupefied and flushed up by his act, the tinge of red colour making her look more pretty than ever before. On the other hand, Sanskar was grinning cheekily with his hands in his hair scratching them. It was just awesome.
This was all seen by Sharmishtha who was giddy with joy sensing the phase of relationship they both will come across soon, together. She was smiling happily.

2 days later
Convene Conference Hall, New York

Swara and Sanskar were presenting their presentation to the judges who would judge whether their company was capable and worthy enough to get the opportunity to be merged with the international companies in the field. Their presentation was no less than awesome. Of course, anything done by Swasan together is nothing but great.
As soon as they finished their presentation, the hall burst into an applause. It was just perfect. And it was sure that their company is going to reach heights. They did get the opportunity to merge their company with the Singhaniya Industries, a company with a turnout of millions, billions and even trillions. Such a successful company it was with its branches all over the world and the headquarters in New York.

As soon as everyone left the hall, Swara jumped on Sanskar and hugged him as tightly as possible. He too securely wrapped his arms around her and gave an affectionate kiss on her forehead.

Swara: We did it, Sansku!! We did it!!

Sanskar: Of course we did it. After all, meri Shona hai hi itni talented (My Shona is so talented). There was no chance that we were going to lose this.

Swara: Woh to main hoon hi... (That I am)

And they burst out laughing, all giddy with the joy of getting the opportunity to expand their company.

An hour later
Outside the Conference Hall

Swasan were being congratulated by everyone. They were elated to the power of infinity knowing that they could do something together which will make their parents proud.

Suddenly there came Arjun Singhaniya, the sole heir and the CEO of the Singhaniya Industries. He was soon going to become the Managing Director. He was handsome as hell and his charms could attract any girl (of course except Swara. She is already smitten by Sanskar, isn't it?? 😉😉)

Arjun: (to Swara, shaking his hands) Hi Pretty Lady... How are you doing??

Swara suddenly felt uncomfortable as he was caressing her hands and was eyeing her lustily. But she couldn't be rude here as he was going to be their business partner. But looks like Sanskar guessed that she is uncomfortable and he surely doesn't want that. So he suddenly pulled her towards himself such that their handshake broke.

Sanskar: Hello Mr Arjun...

Arjun: (smiling to Sanskar and then to Swara) Congratulations beautiful. It's because of your efforts that your company is going to work with the Singhaniyas. By the way, let me tell you that you are absolutely stunning and gorgeous, a beauty with brains.

Swara smiled awkwardly and uncomfortably because of his continuous gaze but a look towards Sanskar and she knew that her Sansku is becoming possessive and the first thought that came to her mind was to make him jealous.

Swara: Thanks, Mr Arjun. We are glad we got the chance to work with you. And must say, you are handsome too.

Sanskar was now just fuming with jealousy. While fuming, he missed the conversation that happened between the duo. He could see that they had bonded well and were laughing. Well, Swara was just acting to laugh happily even when she was feeling a tad uncomfortable with Arjun. But this wasn't visible to Sanskar because of his jealousy.

Sanskar: (anger) Swara, I think that we should move. We need to have a talk with Mr Arnav Singhaniya (Arjun's father and the owner of the Singhaniya Industries) about the merge and the further formalities. Chalo (come)...

Swara understood that he is angry because he called her Swara instead of Shona but the wish to make him jealous overpowered her.

Swara: Umm... Sanskar, why don't you go and talk to him. By the time, I am talking to Arjun.

And this went overboard and Sanskar left fuming after muttering a "fine". He was jealous to hell. He knew why he was jealous but he didn't want her to know that so soon. And then, she called him Sanskar instead of Sansku. He forgot in his anger that he too called her Swara. He left to talk to Arnav Singhaniya.

Swara understood that she went a bit far in making him jealous. But the thought that this may do something good in their relationship brought her relief. She talked with Arjun formally and excused herself after a few minutes to find Sanskar. But she discovered that he had already left for the hotel after talking to Arnav and she rushed towards the hotel.

Precap: Wait for the next... 😉
