Kissing A Devil (Complete and Continuing In The Sequel)

Chapter 2

Sana sits on the bed with her back rested on the headboard. Beside her, sleeps her brother Sumit. Running her fingers through his hair, she laments at her present situation. Locked in this huge mansion, she doesn't even have her phone with her. She wishes if she could just call Ashmit once and tell him everything. He would surely do something to get her out of this cage. A drop of tear escapes out of her eyes. She looks at her brother again, sleeping peacefully beside her. He is happy that she will be marrying his Sidharth bhaiya and not Ashmit. She has no idea why he always had a disliking for him.

Di please, don't marry that Ashmit. I don't like him. He is not good. You should marry someone who is a superhero like Superman, Hulk, anyone from Avengers.. Hmm.. Yes that Sidharth bhaiya. He is smart, intelligent and very strong. He had fought with the bad men too. And he loves boxing and WWE. You know he loves Roman Reigns and John Cena like me. Please di aap unse shaadi karlo na.

These were his exact words on the day she had told him that she will marry Ashmit soon. Ashmit had on that day asked Dadi for permission to marry her. Today her little brother's wishes are coming true. She will be married to Sidharth Riachand by tomorrow. She looks at her brother again. Sumit is too young to understand who is good and who is bad. His Sidharth bhaiya whom he believes to be a good guy is actually a heartless brute. He does not think twice before killing someone. She hates him so much. But she has to marry him tomorrow. She can't lose her only brother. He is all she has left as her family.

Her mother, Geet Kaur had eloped with her father from Chandigarh when she was just 18 years old, to become an actress. Her family had thus cut all their ties with her. Her father Harish Anand was a TV soap director and was there for a commercial shooting. He was 15 years her senior and he had fallen in love with her mother's beauty instantly. He had given her temptation to make her a movie star and she had fled with him to Mumbai. Geet never got into acting as she fell pregnant with Sana. They got married the next week. After two years of blissful marriage, the couple started fighting over Harish's alcoholism and her inability to get a chance in acting.

Sana was 10 years old at that time when Sumit was born. She had found solace with the tiny baby. She was happy in her world she had created with his baby brother. However her world turned upside down when at the tender age of 12 she lost her mother in one episode of aggressive quarrel. His father had apparently pushed her and she had hit her head on the kitchen counter, dying on spot. Her father was arrested for murder and put behind bars while the children were sent to an orphanage. Harish died one year later in the jail hospital from liver sclerosis. Sana didn't cry for him but believed that God had punished him for his actions. She had become protective of Sumit and took the role of his mother in the orphanage. After 2 years, the orphanage closed down and one lady who used to visit them often took the brother and sister with her.

Dadi as they call her, Mrs.Sarala Dalal is a retired school principal. Her husband had passed away years ago and her only daughter stayed in the States. She used to visit the orphanage regularly and had fallen in love with a sweet, ever smiling Sana. She took them with her and gave them all the love and care of a real grandmother. Sana whispers, "Dadi..She must be worried.." Just then she hears the sound of a car stopping outside. She goes to the window and finds Sidharth getting down from his huge car. She goes to the door and cracks it open. It is no longer bolted from outside but there are men guarding the door 24/7. She says, "I need to talk to Si, Mr. Raichand. It is important. Please tell him." The men stare at her face and don't say a word. They stand there still not moving an inch from their places. She lets out a grunt and with a stricter voice, "You know what had happened in the morning right. Do you want me to start breaking things again? I can do that if you want, or you can just inform your boss what I asked for." No reactions again from the men. "Okay. Fine. Your wish.", she says. One of the men says, "Go inside. We'll call you if the boss says yes to meet you." A smile appears on her face as she goes inside.
