SwaSan: Our Revenge and The Past

Part 5

Swara is all packing her stuff while Sanskar comes there.

Sanskar: why don’t you postpone the meeting?

Swara: Sanskar I didn’t expect you to say this. I know there must be something important that’s why you are saying. But trust me this is really important or I would have cancelled the plan.

Sanskar: why don’t you go after my plan??
Swara: no Sanskar ….why don’t you just tell me now? Like what you have planned?

Sanskar: no …. I’ll do it sometime later.

He helps her packing.

Sanskar: so for how many days you’re going??

Swara: I guess 3-5 days. I should be back in those many days.

Sanskar: what?! Almost a week?

Swara: Sanskar why are you getting shocked? I have had meetings for 2 weeks also.

Sanskar: no nothing. ( Mummers to himself) I can’t wait to tell you my feelings. I have waited for long now but whatever I planned is gone waste. I can’t wait. I love you so much Shona.

Swara: what??!! What are you mummering?? Say it loud.

Sanskar: nothing.

Swara makes him sit and hugs him: whatever you want to say, say it loud. I know you want to say something but you’re not. I know you’re irritated because of my meeting and cancelling your plan. So please Sanskar say what you want to. I know you don’t want me to go but….. If something happens to me and you will be never able to tell me. So please tell me.

Sanskar breaks the hug: shhhh! Stop speaking rubbish. Nothing will happen to you. I can wait until then. What happened to you suddenly??

Swara: nothing. M just saying. If at all something happens to me then…. I will never be able to hear what you want to say.

Sanskar: shut up! Don’t talk shit! I won’t let anything happen to you. You better get that. I don’t want to loose you. Promise me you will never leave me. Promise.

Swara: okay baba ….. Now go do your work. Let me finish packing up and I will rest for sometime.

Sanskar: okay.

He goes from there.

Swara closes the door and falls on the ground : how do I tell them? That my surviving chances are very less. I might not be able to see them after today.

She cries bitterly. Swara had been diagnosed with blood clot in her brain when she was thrown in the river. She was told to get operated but there were chances of memory loss which she didn’t want to go for, she didn’t want to forget about her revenge. She kept it all a secret from her family. The doctors had told her but she insisted on giving her temporary solution for which she was given pills which had to be taken on time or she would get drowsy,they told her about her situation where in if she didn’t operate now she would die and her condition had become critical in past few months but Swara ignored them but now situation was getting worse, she was getting immense pain in her head and feeling dizzy every now and then and Swara knew what was the reason for this. She has finally decided to operate herself but doctor said her chances of survival are very less.

Swara sits there for sometime and goes to the drawer and removes the box again. She touches the rose petals and smiles.

***Flash back***

It was the last day of college and everyone was talking to each other and Swara was sitting there and her eyes were looking for only one person but he was not ready to see her. She sat there for sometime more and got irritated since her best friend was not coming and she knew where he would be.
