Together Forever

Chapter 6: Invisible threads

"Thanks."

Swara looked at Sanskaar who was already looking at her with a small smile, a smile which could flutter one's heart.

"Finally! Atleast you smiled this time or else I could have declared that you can never smile at all." Swara chuckled softly as the entered the cafe.

"Coffee? My treat." Sanskaar spoke as he entered in the counter cabinet.

"Sure." Swara sat down in her usual spot while Sanskaar went into the kitchen and few minutes later came with 2 coffee mugs and sat opposite to Swara who was staring at the street through glass panels. Mumbling a thank you, Swara took her mug and her eyes automatically went back to the same as before.

"Mm-- actually I wanted to know something---" Swara's gaze shifted to his as he continued. "I have no idea how you know about Sasha and me in first case but still you had the choice, you could have not showed me her true face but why did you? We are not even friends but what made you help me?" Sanskaar was actually curious to know the answer which was pondering in his mind ever since they came out of the club. 

"So that's what you were thinking all the way from club." Swara smiled. "Sanskaar, you see you seems to be a nice boy. I know we still don't have much interaction but still I can see you are innocent and Sasha... She's such bitc-- Ah! a venomous snake I tell you. All she could do is to attract people through her figure and get whatever she wants but neither her mind nor heart is working properly." She explained. 

"But how do you know about it?" Sanskaar asked further.

"I saw you both talk when I returned from staff room after English period. All ogling at you and I found it." She said as her mind remembered the flashback.

"Mm."

"But there was something." Sanskaar who was concentrating on the coffee looked up and met her eyes. "I mean for the whole month I saw her loiter around you but you didn't bother. All of a sudden you both were talking and today's incident You did feel uncomfortable but you didn't reject her offer. Did you liked her or something?" Swara asked with a wink as Sanskaar's eyes widened.

"No!" He said quickly but further added. "It was not like I liked her but it was out generosity. She was clinging on to me like a leach. Though I already told her not to, she did and I had no other choice to go through her ways and cut the connection from root. Who knew that she would be this disgusting." Sanskaar made a bad face remembering her. 

Swara laughed out loud reading his facial expressions for a minute. 

"But I thought you liked the leach, oops! Sasha because your eyes kinda had that glow." Swara muffled again. 

"Do you read minds? Fine! I agree I kind of liked her-- Maybe 10%? She proposed me three days ago and I didn't say anything as usual." He didn't know why he actually spoke the truth but he did.

"I knew it. So are you going to have vodka and spend your night mourning your heart break by her and sing 'Channa Mereya?" Swara teased.

"Yuck! No way, I would be happy singing 'mere saiyyan ji se aaj maine breakup kar liya." And both laughed. 

"She paid for one of her sins, I appreciate that hard slap." Sanskaar gave a slight nod as Swara giggled remembering Sasha's so called beautiful face turning blue when he slapped her. 

"She deserves more but I have my own morals. I don't touch women and she crossed those limits." Sanskaar said sipping his coffee. 

"She's not a woman, she's a bit-- Oh oh my! If my mother sees me speak that she'll dig my grave and bury me alive." Swara slapped herself slightly while Sanskaar chuckled.
