They parted on a sweet note. She hugged him silence and everything felt right as he gently squeezed her in soft and warm. Her Safe Haven.

And soon, it was time to leave ...they bid bye with smiles.

Back in the car, Swara found herself lost in the casted spell of the night and Ragni's words reached her ears, like a faint humming. Too dazed, Swara smiled to herself ...

"I wish this night never ends," he murmured slowly his warm breath tickling the curve of her neck after the kiss.

Never she wished, reliving her own fairy tale moment. Too good to be true yet she couldn't stop thinking about it, it felt as if she was transported into some other world, her very own with no intrusions, like a page out of scrapbook sprang to life.

Just them ...Swara and Sunny.

Her smile widened. Maybe she would tell him one day whisper it softly like a secret. Would he like if she calls him Sunny? She will find out soon.

The screech of car jolted her out of dreamy land and at sight of Bose House, Swara knew the fairytale moment has to end.

She felt glad, she chose to change back to intern look and left the rest of the shopping stuff at Ragini's place barring the black one she wore that night.

Swara braced herself as she stepped in and found her family scattered around in the hall. Sumitra busy with some calculations, Kavita toying with her phone and Dadi with her japmaala. Adi was missing from the picture.

Swara quickly recalled he had a match in two days and he would be late owing to an extended practice session, he mentioned in the morning dropping by to wish her luck.

Kavita was the first one to notice. "Oh! You are back. How was your interview?"She threw in casual courtesy sake questions, her eyes caught the bag in Swara's hand.

"Wow! Did you shop? what did you get? Let me see."Before Swara could say a word, Kavita excitedly reached for the bag and it was out of her hands. Swara didn't protest for she knows Kavita craziness for shopping. She would have died to know what's in the bag.

"Freshen up and have your dinner 'Sumitra kept it short and focused back on accounts for the month. Maybe she needs to cut down on a few expenses, numbers for the month didn't seem very encouraging.

"I already had, Choti Maa," Swara replied, but Kavita's shocking gasp suddenly had everyone's attention.

"Omg! Where did you get this?" Kavita stared at the dress, her eyes popping out. For a minute Swara feared they would fall out of sockets."It's a limited edition and this brand costs a bomb." Kavita added still reeling in the shock.

Swara had no answer. She had never been good with branded stuff, hardly went for them but Kavita's expression definitely called for trouble.

"How much ?" came Sumitra's question, alarmed.

And Swara stood clueless..'It's a gift 'will only have more questions thrown at her, Who, when, why?*Complications.* Swara sighed. Better take it on self, Swara decided but Kavita's next words
