Perennial Love

32. The plan tumbling down

A/N

Hello everyone!

It's Monday and here is the update!

Well, first of all, I know I am very bad writer to promise a quick update and then, keep you guys on hold for so long... Believe me, the guilt is just eating me up so much. It's just that I was super busy with the back to back festivals and then later, my personal works.

This is a very long chapter! The longest one till date to be precise. So read on your own risk!

And please guys, it's very important for you all to comment or atleast vote, because that is the only thing that motivates me to write. Feel free to even criticize it, positive criticism is always welcomed.

Lol, I will not bore you guys anymore with this A/N and end it here. Meet you at the end of the chapter. Till then, enjoy!

Happy reading!

Swayam's POV

I love her and I will get her back and for that, I will have to take this risk. With making a resolution in my mind, I threw my tie to the side, waiting for the music to begin. I gave my love, standing opposite to me, a challenging look and she showed me her thumbs down with attitude. I shook my head, as a memory from our college days flashed when we would behave like fighting cats. I chuckled remembering it...

Rey then played the song and I smiled at him nervously. He returned a reassuring smile and taking a deep breath, I started my dance... Wow, feels so good to dance after so long... But, Shit! My body needs training now, it has become so rigid and stiff. Somehow, I finished my part and walked out of dance floor, with Pia overtaking it. I hissed as I felt a pang in my lower back, with all the dancing suddenly. Though I workout daily, dancing is altogether a different thing...

I watched as Pia danced and automatically, my lips curved up. She is so natural. Though she didn't do the professional forms and did the basic bollywood and freestyle, I love the way she swayed. The attitude with which she is performing is just enough to raise one's heartbeats and that's what is exactly happening to me now...

We danced by turns and I couldn't help but smile triumphantly because 'we' had performed together after so many years, though the case was different. All the old memories, all the old times flashed in front of my eyes, making me nostalgic. Then Rey suddenly played 'raabta' and I saw her frowning...

Freak! This is one of those songs on which I and Sharon had danced and this one to be specific, was of our favourite routine. The routine is just so fresh in my mind till date, as if it had happened yesterday. I looked at her in front of me and saw her lost, not knowing what to do. I closed my eyes and breathing heavily with all the dancing...

What should I do? Take the risk? Or just let it be for today? But what if she recalls something? But what if her health deteriorates even further? What should I do? What should I do?

I asked my heart, what it wanted one final time and it said me to take the risk and I opened my eyes. I smiled at my Sharon in front of me and walked a round around her. She was confused by my act, but when I asked for her hand, she kept hers in mine, smiling heartily. That made me smile happily...

What surprised me was, she was following me in this song, unlike what she did in the previous ones. Then suddenly, she started to lead me and did once, the exact step we had done in the college days. I was shocked but happily obliged gawking at her and I realised that we were doing the same routine... Again... We are syncing the steps perfectly and she is dancing with me, as if she knows what she has to do next. My eyes teared up realising she is herself doing all these things...
