Swaron Os: An icy date 3
"Guys chale thoda maza karne ke liye?" rey asked the gang. The team had gotten together as one and they wanted to celebrate the union. Sharon looked at Swayam and he looked back at her. After a few moments of a silent heated conversation, Swayam spoke up, "Uhm Rey?" Rey looked at his friend questioningly. "Mujhe thoda zaruri kaam yaad aa gaya.....tho mein nahi aa paungi...aur Sharon bhi...hum dono ko ek kaam hai...so" Swayam trailed off. "Ye kya kaam hai Jo kal nahi kar sakte hmm?" Rey asked raising his eyebrows. The gang also looked at them suspicious. "Uhm guys college ki kaam hai....aur hum dono...i mean mein aur Swayam CS aur ACS hai tho hume jaana hoga hi" Sharon tried to cover up. "Par mein aur Taani GS aur AGS hai aur hume iss kaam ke baare mein kuch nahi pata" rey asked confused. "Kyunki abhi abhi VP sir ne message kiya...aur hume jaana hoga abhi" Swayam said firmly. "So see you all later" Sharon finished his sentence and after a stern glance at Swayam left in the direction of the VP sir's cabin which coincidentally was the way to their hideout too. Seeing Swayam wasn't following her and was still caught up wuth the gang, she yelled at him "Swayam shekhawat, tum mere assistant ho so you follow my rules and come here this instant!" Swayam looked helplessly at the gang who sympathized with him and let him go, not wanting another one of Sharon's tantrums. Swayam chuckled to himself and hurried over to Sharon and walked behind her until they were away from the gang's sight. Once out of sight Swayam held Sharon's wrist and pulled her close, hugging her around the waist and snuggling into the crook of her neck, whispered, "Nice acting Ms.Raiprakash" she just giggled and blushed. "Blush and all...waah waqh kya baat hai Swayam" he congratulated himself making her blush harder. She pushed him away and looked at him. "Tumhara promise" she started"yaad hai mujhe" he completed. "Go get ready and I'll see you in 20 minutes?" he asked. "Sounds great" she said. He grinned at her. "Tumhe pata hai? Mein itni excited hoon!!" she smiled excitedly looking up dreamily. Then on a softer note she said"I love you Swayam, thank you soo much for being the best boyfriend ever" she said kissing him on his cheek. "Love mein no sorry no thank you" he said cupping her face and kissing her forehead. They stayed like that looking aat each other for quite sometime after which Swayam unwillingly said "Late ho raha hai...so get ready?" he asked and sharon bid goodbye and went home to get ready.
"Pehla date....kya pehnu?" she mumbled as she sifted through her wardrobe. She texted him asking where they were going to which he called back. "Surprise hai tho mein kuch bataunga...itna jaan lo ki it will be cold...so put on something warm." he said. "Batao na please, I want to look perfect for our first date" she pleaded. "Jo tum already ho wo tum baar baar nahi ban sakthi na?" he replied. "Matlab?" she asked, smiling. "Tum already perfect ho, tho baar naar perfect kaise banogi" he replied patiently. "Fine, don't tell me, mein aa rahi hoon, bas 5minutes mein" she said. "You do not know how hard it is to resist temptation, mein neeche hoon, aur wo pipe Jo hai tumhari room ke bahar, mujhe tang kar raha hai" he said. "Good don't come up, mein tayar nahi hoon" she said and hung up while he sighed and made himself content by looking at her pictures on his phone.
Meanwhile the gang had decided to continue with their original plan, and had assembled to party the night away. Sharon came down dressed up in an ice blue frock looking as pretty as ever. Swayam looked up at her and was stunned as usually. They shared an eye lock. He walked towards her slowly and pulled her into his arms, "You look out of this world Sharon" he complimented her, she smiled and buried her face into his chest. He wore a dark ink blue shirt and jeans, typical Swayam style, simple yet handsome. He'd bought his cycle, and off they went for their first date since their fight.
They reached a posh yet elegant looking venue. And hand in hand they went in. Sharon let out a small gasp. "Ice skating?! Really Swayam?" she asked excited. He smiled, adoring her excitement lit face. "How did you know? Tumhe kaise pata ki mujhe ice skating karna pasand hai?" she asked him her eyes wide in wonderment. "Wo tho mera secret hai" Swayam said smiling. "Chale?" he asked gesturing to the booth where they get their skating shoes from. Her face turned from excitement to nervousness. "kya hua Sharon?" Swayam asked concerned, reading her face. "Wo...wo kya hai na...mein ice skating karthi Thi....jab mein choti Thi...so I really dunno if I can skate now" she replied looking uncertain. "Relax Sharon, mein hoon na" he said, turning her face so that she looked at him. She looked at him and he nodded as if to say it will be fine. She smiled and then dragged him to the counter for the skates.
The gang meanwhile had decided they would go the new club in town, where they could ice skate as well as club; coincidentally the same place where Swayam and Sharon had gone to. "Arrey ice skating bhi hai yahan" rinni exclaimed. "maza aayega bhai" bharath said rubbing his palms together. "Yaad hai hum pehle Sharon ke saath ice skating chali?" Simmi asked rinni. "Oh haan, humara pehla girls night out, boards ke baad" rinni said. "Sharon ko bohot pasand hai na, ice skating....kash wo yahan hoti" Simmi sighed. "Swayam ko bhi ice skating pasand hai" Rey put in remembering what Swayam had told him long back. "Ye dono ko pasand hai aur ye dono yahan nahi hai" Vicky said remorsefully. "Haan agar wo dono yahan hote tho kitna maza aayega na? Especially Swayam" aashi commented. "Aur Sharon" rinni said. "Umm guys chale? Next time we'll bring them along too" Rey said and they went together deciding that first they'll go to the club and then go ice-skate, coz they were hungry just then.
Meantime, Swayam buckled Sharon's skates and then extended his hand "May I?" he asked. "With all due pleasure" she said smiling. He lifted her onto her feet gently and entwining their hands together began walking towards the rink. Sharon stuttered a bit and Swayam held her all the more firmly. "Careful Sharon" he said as he steadied her. Slowly and steadily they stepped onto the ice and moved slowly hand in hand. Swayam since he was good at in line skating, could skate better than Sharon, who held onto his hand and moved slowly. Swayam patiently taught her to ice skate. She slowly skated across the rink and Swayam followed her. They'd done a skating routine, so this wasn't exactly difficult. The Dj played the music and the spotlights moved around on the ice. Swayam held Sharon as they glided across the ice. Hand in hand as a couple. "Ye bohot achi hai, hai na?" she asked smiling at him. "Tumbare saath sab kuch acha hi hai " he replied. She blushed. Swayam let go off her hand and did a few tricks with his skates as she watched on mesmerized, just like before. He soon paused in front of her and looked at her exhilarated, and waited for her response. She was so lost in him that it took a little time to realize he was asking for her opinion. She smiled and held out three fingers and then clapped. Their eyes locked and they got caught up in their own bubble and as they inched closer, the spotlight fell on them. "And the special couple of the hour is" the DJ announced. "The couple in blue! congrats, aap dono ke liye ek romantic gaana tho Banta hai, and you guys will have to do a small dance for us" he announced. The crowd cheered for them and yelled dance. Swayam and Sharon looked at each other and then shrugged. They bowed to the crowd and then waited for the music to start. It was romantic yet peppy song. "Kaise bataoon tujhe....ki dil mera kya keh raha" the song played. They started dancing in their skates....gliding across the ice, eyes locked, and moving to and fro. Swayam spun her around and she kinda lost balance and fell into his arms. The song continued melodious yet with a steady beat. Swayam did a few maneuvers around Sharon as she glided across to him and hugged him. He swept her off her feet and twirled. The crowd cheered on. Even on ice their chemistry remained passionate and intense. They broke eye contact while dancing. The song changed into a more familiar tune, *pehla nasha* played in the background. Smiling broadly they waltzed with zest, never letting go off each other. Sharon giggled as Swayam lifted her and spun around. After setting her down firmly on her feet, sorry skates, he caught her hand again and waltzed with her.
The gang noticed a crowd around the rink and could see people cheering. Curious to know what was happening they went over to see. Swaron were waltzingon the other far end of the rink and so the gang initially thought it was some other couple. The girls sighed and commented"How romantic" and the guys just looked on. It wasn't until the end of the song that swaron waltzed their way to the center of the rink. The spotlight followed them. Sharon shivered a bit. Swayam who could feel her hands growing colder, immediately shrugged out his jacket and put it around her. She put her arms around his waist and glided closer to him, hugging him. He smiled at her gesture and the crowd went "Aww". They didn't seem to hear it. All they knew was the other was there and they were so close. Inches apart. Something stirred in both of them and urged them both to close the distance in between. Swayam who still had his arms around Sharon, on his jacket rather, bent in. And she tried to tip toe onto her toes but slipped,, when Swayam caught her and held her firmly. Secure in his arms, she tilted her face upwards and closed her eyes as he moved in. Slowly and unsure they came closer. And closer. Heart overtook the brain as they came closer. As light as feather their lips met. His lips were cold and so were hers. What began as light as feather slowly turned passionate and then intense. As the crowd cheered, the kiss deepened and then after many magical moments they broke apart. And smiled. She smiled while he looked at her for her reaction. As she blushed and smiled so did he, and so did everyone one at the rink. The gang didn't realize it was Swayam and Sharon until they broke apart and smiled at each other.
"Swayam?!" the boys said. "Sharon?!" the girls said. "Ye tha unka kaam? Date?" Rey said in disbelief. "How is this even possible?" Simmi asked in disbelief. "Guys I think we should leave....its their moment and explanations can wait" Taani said and tugged at Rey's arm. "I think she's right" Vicky agreed. And the gang left for the club, resolving that they would ask them the next day. The two love birds were left to enjoy their date. Little did they know what fate had in store for them.
