Together Forever

Chapter 4: It's a deal then

"You?" Both of them mumbled in unison.

"Swa--"

"Hey!" Swara quickly waved her hand to him with a tight lipped smile.

"Oh my! Do you guys know each other already?" Sona was surprised seeing both of them recognizing each other.

"No." Sanskaar said.

"Yes." Swara said at the same time making Sona suspicious.

Swara bit her corner of her lip. No way she could expose her real name to didu. Not because she didn't want to but at the same time her real name only brought in unnecessary respect, honour and fear in one and definitely she can't let this boy say her real name.

"Excuse us." Swara with that short note pulled Sanskaar with her leaving a little distance between Sona who was watching them keenly to know what was happening between the younger ones.

"You won't tell anyone about us and definitely not my real name." More than a request it was like a order for Sanskaar and definitely he hates being bossed around unless he wanted it.

"Why should I obey your orders? Are you my mother?" That sarcastic comment made Swara irked a little but she had to come down since it was about her.

"I'm not but could you just forget what happened at the moment?" Swara's tone softened. She really didn't want anyone to know about it.

"We'll see Miss. Swara."

With that Sanskaar left leaving Swara who was watching his retreating figure. She was not afraid about her real name coming out but she was disturbed by the consequences she might face. If this piece of information reaches her father she could be doomed but that was not something to be feared of since she knew how to manage it. And this boy-- Sanskaar! Such an interesting character. Inspite of knowing everything about her he chose to speak and not act dumb. Nice!

"There you are, my lady!" Laksh took her palm in his and kissed it softly and lead her to the dinning area where the scented candles were lit and creating a nice aroma around the place. Only him and her.

Like a gentleman Laksh pulled the chair for Swara while she muttered a thank you for his gentleman gesture as she took her seat. Laksh sat in the opposite side looking at her.

Just wearing a normal floral print gown with no makeup and smile accessories how can someone look breathtakingly beautiful? He wondered.

"Laksh, what's all this sudden dinner date and all?" Though a smile spread on her lips her voice didn't seems to be sweet as her smile.

"Not my doings. It's our parents plan." Laksh smiled back and watched the beauty playing with the rose petals which was placed in the flower vase. Laksh could do anything and everything to take their relationship forward but with only Swara's heartfelt acceptance. 

"Swara, where's your other earring? Did you miss it?" Laksh asked pointing at her ear that didn't have the earring. Hearing Laksh she placed her hand on her ears and found one to be missing. For a second Swara's face saddened, that was her favourite ear piece. 

"It's fine." Swara huffed removing the other earring and placed it carefully in her sling bag.

"I've got a gift." He took out a small velvet box from his coat and opened the box to Swara. Her eyes caught on the content of the velvet box.

A beautiful heart diamond pendent was placed neatly in the box and shone brightly in the candle light.

"Let me make you wear it." Laksh stood up taking the pendent in his hands and placed it on her neck.
