SwaSan: My Boss

Part 17

"come on Swara, just attend the award function. It's in the town itself and specially for you they're arranging the ceremony here itself. So what's the problem for you to go and get that award?" Sanskar questioned her.

"Even if I don't go, they'll send the award right? So what's the need for going?"

"Okay cool. I'll cancel all your meetings for this week if you're not attending the ceremony." Sanskar threatened her.

"You can't do that" swara said and thought for a while "okay I give in" she said smirking.

"That smirk on your face is planning something not very good."

"It's actually very good. You don't worry. Go arrange everything."

"I hope your not doing something that will get you in trouble."

"Shut up! I know what I'm doing. Enough of listening to everyone." 

Sanskar nods and goes.

Next day at award ceremony. Swara is accompanied by some guards and sanskar.

Media is taking some interviews and photographs of Swara so she's a bit occupied with them.

She excuses herself and goes inside. With bits of performances by some people and talking to many of her investors and business family she awaits for the moment.

Swara looks around to see sanskar talking to dida, then she walks towards them and dida hugs her.

"Congratulations my shoru! Your hard work has paid off."

"Thank you so much dida" she was about to speak more but her name was called on the stage so she proceeded forward.

After taking the award and clicking a few pictures with the media. She was asked to speak a few words.

"I take this opportunity to thank my entire team and employees who have supported me in my good and bad times. A special thanks to my grandma, my dida thank you for always being there for me. At last thanks  very very special people of my life i.e my parents thanks for abandoning me, thanks for hating me so much, for making me feel so unwanted, all these things made me stronger and helped to reach this point. Thank you Mr shekhar and Mrs Sharmista Bose for every vulnerable thing you did in my childhood."

The audience were in literal shock, they were left in thoughts whether to clap or feel bad or don't know what to do. Swara left the stage, followed by media flocking around her.

Securely coming out from the crowd and rush with the help of her bodyguards. She sat in the car, sanskar also reached by that time and sat with her. 

He drove away from the place for almost an hour. There was complete silence in the car.

"Stop the car" Swara finally broke in.

Sanskar nodded and pulled over. In a second Swara got out and waited as the two cars jerked behind her and the guards got out.

"Go home, no need to come. You may leave." She turned to sanskar " you may go ahead with them, I need sometime alone."

"No m staying here" he protested.

"I said go"

"NO spells no! M not going anywhere" the guards looked from Swara to sanskar and waited until the next order.

Swara sat on the passenger seat and saw the guards turning to go back. Sanskar came and sat in the car and started driving.

"You know I was once locked in a car for a day." He started, but swara didn't pay attention. "won't you ask how?" He waited for sometime but then started again "I was very notorious and stubborn when I was small, one of my friend had got a toy car so I told him boastfully that my mom has got me a bigger car. They asked me to show it, so I took them to this showroom and got inside the car but then it got locked somehow and my friend left me" he finally stopped seeing swara not at all interested in his story as she was looking outside.
