《There's Nothing Without You (Under editing)》17. His suspicion
Advertisement
Swara woke up and saw Sanskar sleeping with support of head post. She got confused because when she saw Sanskar before going to sleep, he was lying on bed then how he is now sleeping in sitting position? Secondly, there is no laptop or files if he was working.
Still She just jerked her thoughts and got up and went to washroom. After sometime, She came out and saw Sanskar was still sleeping. Now, she was more confused because on another day he woke up before she came out of washroom.
Swara (monologue): Why is he sleeping like this till now? He usually woke up early everyday but today is no holiday also then why he is sleeping till now? What should I do? Should I wake him up? No, no, what if he get angry? but yesterday he was talking about some meeting. He will miss it if he won't wake up. Yes , I should try to wake him.
She purposely move fast so that her anklet sound break his sleep but nothing happened then she intentionally make sounds from bangles which didn't affect Sanskar sleep even a bit but broke the sweet sleep of her loving son Arshit. He woke up and did not see Swara beside her and started crying. Swara was about to go to her to calm him but she thought may Sanskar wake up with his cry but she could not stick to her thought even for a second and runs to Arshit and take her in her arms. Her attempts were failing one after the other. After calming Arshit, she gave him a toy and he get busy in playing with it. She was thinking how to wake him up. She saw alarm clock on dressing table nd got idea but next second her idea flopped when she remembered that it needs new cell. She finally decided something and take a deep sigh. Yes, she will shake him little bit.
She gathered some courage and slowly move her hand towards him. Her hand moved just an inch qnd she back out. Her whole body was shivering and heartbeat was very fast. She take sometime and again move her hand toward him. She slowly move her hand toward him and was just an inch away then again back out.
She was literally cursing herself for not doing a simple thing. She again tried and she finally reached him and touched his arm little and back out. Obviously who will wake up just a little touch on his arm when he in deep sleep then why Sanskar will wake up. She just takes the pillow and bang her head on it.
On the other side Arshit, who was playing with toy got bored and throw it on sanskar face. Swara look at Arshit amused because it actually did work and Sanskar's sleep got disturbed. She got so happy and took Arshit and kissed his cheek.
Sanskar who finally open his eyes sees Swara kissing Arshit and happy as if she has got award. He got confused nd murmured.

Sanskar:( murmured) I think she has gone mad. Last night she was so tensed and now...
He jerk his thought and get up and fresh n up. After they get ready, they went downstairs. Everyone have their breakfast. This time also Sanskar noticed Laksh , he was behaving strange since yesterday. No one noticed it but Sanskar, he easily guessed something is bothering him and Swara was also behaving differently, so he thought to talk to him. After breakfast everyone dispersed to their respective works.
Laksh was in his cabin, busy in reading some files then Sanskar entered his cabin. Laksh was so immersed in file that he didn't notice Sanskar.
Sanskar: Laksh...
Laksh ( heard his voice and sees him): Bhai! You , here?
Sanskar: Why can't I come?
Laksh: No, its not like that. It's just that during office time you don't show your face outside your cabin or Conference hall then how come yoi here. Youu could have called me.
Sanskar: Shut up Lucky!!
Laksh chuckled while Sanskar continued Actually I wanted to talk to you.
Laksh (serious): Ok, but about what? We already got that deal na? ( Confusingly)
Sanskar: Laksh, I don't talk about deal everytime.
Laksh: Ohh, Sorry, you say.
Sanskar: not me, you say what happened?
Laksh: (confused) What happened to me? I m absolutely fine.
Sanskar: ( damn serious) Laksh, I m asking about yesterday. Had anything happened yesterday? Is anything there that you are hiding from me? Is there anything I don't know?
Laksh: Bhai, nothing happened yesterday. I m not hiding anything from you bhai. You know everything about me then..
Sanskar: I know you very well that's why I can easily feel there is something wrong.
Laksh: Bhai, nothing is wrong. yesterday, I told you na, I went to gadodia house then we got busy in talk and..
Sanskar: And you didn't see time and you and Swara got late. ( completed him) don't repeat the same story again and again. If we keep repeating one thing again and again, it's not necessarily that it will be the truth only and I can easily conclude that whatever you were saying was totally a lie because you didn't tell this with eye contact with me. Yesterday and today also you are avoiding your eyes from me and I know very well you do it only when you lie. Your reason about Swara's phone switched off was not more than a stupid excuse because if her phone battery was dead then how come she messaged her baba that she had reached mm without even charging. She just switched on her phone and send the msg. It was clear that her phone was intentionally switched off by someone or by herself. It was not the only thing I m suspicious about but I also noticed the look you both were giving each other. Your answers, when I asked about why were you late was just like you decided already what you have to tell if anyone ask, like exam papers! I got to know that you were Lying that second only but most unexpected thing was Swara was supporting you.

Laksh get shocked but he immediately composed himself and tried to cover up.
Laksh: Bhai, there is nothing what you are thinking. I just told what happened bhai and Swara supported me because it was the only the truth. And about Swara's phone, may be Swara had charged it then messaged her baba. It may be possible that you didn't noticed and why will I lie to you Bhai. I don't know what are you saying.
Sanskar (chuckle with smirk): Really?? You don't know what am I talking or you don't want me to know what you are hiding? I m not stupid Laksh!! (anger can be feel in his voice) I saw Swara since the time she came she didn't went to room. She just followed everyone to dinner and after that she messaged. I was there only but she thought I went to room.
Laksh; Bhai, you are thinking too much, you need rest i think.
Sanskar: I don't need any rest Laksh but you will need complete bed rest for months if I found out what are you both hiding and trust me if it is about someone or me, I won't leave that person and you both. I know its not any simple thing because if you are forced to hide something from me then it will be clearly a big thing.(sternly)
Saying that Sanskar went out and shut the door with bang before leaving in anger. Laksh too got afraid because of his sudden anger. He takes a deep sigh of relief once Sanskar went out.
Laksh (sighs): Thank god, he went otherwise anything could happened. I can't tell anything to Bhai. Swara was right, It will destroy everything.
He said closing his eyes leaning his head back on chair but he was unaware of the fact that someone had listened him and the person was none other than Sanskar. Yes, he didn't go
He was standing at outside his cabin door only.
Sanskar (thinks): What is he talking about? What will destroy everything? One thing is clear that it is somewhere related to Swara but what? Laksh didn't tell me anything but I will find it out myself. I have to keep eye on both of them.
Thinking all this he sees Laksh , who was relaxing himself on chair with closed eyes. Sanskar was angry on him but he controlled himself because for now his priority is to know the truth. He left to his cabin with determined face.
Sanskar entered and went to his room. After changing and get fresh n up, he was coming downstairs but then he saw Laksh is coming. Swara who was sitting in the hall look at him and give questioned look. Laksh nods no. but Swara was still suspicious watching him but she knew she can't talk to him right now so she also nodded with small smile.
Sanskar noticed them this time also but couldn't really understand. On the other side there was someone else who noticed Laksh and Swara mute conversation and was fuming in anger.
After dinner everyone went to their respective rooms.
Swara was sitting on the bed and reading some book. Arshit was sleeping beside her. Sanskar was working on his laptop or we can say observing Swara by showing he is working.
She was sitting peacefully and reading. Then her phone beeps. She got some message. She took her phone and sees it. She get tensed seeing the message. Sanskar noticed her reaction and got confused.
Sanskar think" what did she see that she got tensed?"
Swara also sees him but he turned his face but he was still observing her restlessness.
Laksh was sitting on the bed with a file like he is reading but actually he was not. His mind was around Sanskar's words in office. He took his phone but sees Ragini has came back who went to take water. She went to cupboard and took her nightdress and went to washroom to change.
Laksh who sees her going, keep his file and took his phone. He message something to Swara and hide before Ragini came.
Swara saw the message. It was from Laksh." Bhai is suspicious about us. He is sure we are hiding something".
Swara got tensed. She looked at Sanskar but he seemed to be busy with his work.
She typed something and send to Laksh" how? How he got suspicious"?
" Don't know but he was noticing us since yesterday" Laksh replied.
Swara " now what"? Tension and fear can easily sensed in her words.
"Don't know" Laksh replied.
"Meet me on terrace"Swara.
" okay, bye"Laksh.
Swara was still restless but lied on bed and closed her eyes. Sanskar who was watching all her actions also knew that she was just acting to sleep. He knew very well she had received message from none but Laksh only. He must have told her everything. He smiled with smirk as how much he know his brother and shook his head. He also went to act for sleeping as he has to find out everything tonight.
On the other side Laksh also keep his phone back on table nd again get busy in his files. Ragini comes and went to sleep not before saying him good night.
Laksh also said good nyt. Once Laksh was confirmed that Ragini was asleep, he got up from bed and went out closing the door.
Swara was also waiting for Sanskar to sleep. After sometime Swara also confirmed that Sanskar is sleeping because of fabulous acting of Sanskar. She also got up and went to terrace.
Once she went out of room, Sanskar opened his eyes and saw toward closed door.
