11 months have passed since she has come to light with the fact that Sidharth love her, but him letting her go, and the Sheena incidents were still pricking her heart. There was no running away but disappointment, in her that she didn't provide him with that assurance that he could come up to her and speak his feelings. She had by then conned his words she has got in written. She flipped through the pages every might and it would make her night a good night.It made her happy.

Achieving what she came to Bangalore was delighting for her. She worked days and nights flr it and when ticked it, it was delighting. She was a assistant designer in the leading designer firm. The passion she had towards her work was incredible. In these years her mother has asked her many a times to come to meet her, but every time she very politely negated, reasoning work load to be excess or her to caught with something.

**************

"Oh my god.....this is so artistic" a voice among the cluster of people that were present for exhibition exclaimed.

"Absolutely" the second agreed and the praises continued.

The main reason to be the part of the expo, was the photographer of the century SIDHARTH SHUKLA.

"Look at him yaar, I so wish that I was this girl" a girl envied, the pictures that were on display.They were Sana's. None of the picture had the revelation of who the person was. It was mostly her eyes or her smile.The way they were clicked was worth a watch. Her eyes had the captivation in them which had the power to trap anyone and the smile was alluring and pleasing to eyes. Sidharth was known for his famous work 'LOVE' which were her pictures. The mere eyes made many in the crowd fall in love with them. Sidharth smiled looking at those pictures. These eyes and that smile had his whole world and nothing more beautiful ever existed for him. Many girls came to him for a selfie and a autograph and he politely obliged. He was thankful for all the people who made his work recognized.

Sidharth decided to pursue his passion, and the love he had for camera, and with shutter sound, and his labour did wonders. Every person out, for once wanted himself/herself to be clicked by him, whatever it may cost.

Everyone was busy with their life and it was great that were still connected despite being busy. Shreya and Rahul were going smooth and it would be no wonders if they were married without anyone knowing it. They were quite secretive that way.

Sidharth was still not missing a single evening to meet Maa, and she would endlessly pamper making him groan and complain " Maa aap mujhe bigad rahe ho"

"Main bigaad rahi hun na, toh main sudhaar bhi dungi" Maa wouldn counter back, making him go silent, and just enjoy the love she was bestowing on him. He was no less and left no chance to surprise her or make her happy. Sometimes Maa was left to think what would she have been, without Sana, had Sidharth not been there. She loved him as his own son without a spec of doubt.

***********

"Sana abhi bahut ho gaya.....Tu is Christmas aaegi and I don't care if you have work or not" Maa was stern and authorative this time and she didn't had the courage to disagree with this form of hers, but a little trying does no harm and so she did.

"Maa, I know I being a bad daughter but I am seriously held up"

"Sana.... I said no excuses....Christmas is three days away.... you have one day for packing and you will be on flight the very next day and that's final." and she left no room for any discussion.Sana just nodded agreeing to her. She had no other choice. She feared the face off with the man himself. What will she say to him and what will she ask him

"Haayee Sana.... waise toh tu itni Jhansi ki rani banti phirti hai....lekin jab mauka aaya toh dhak dhak ho rahi hai....haaye main kaise usko face karungi....par main itna bhi kya dar rhi hun konsa woh mujhe kha jaaega or waise bhi woh toh hoga apni Sheena ke pass..... huh agar hua na uske pass main usko. kheech ke laungi or baandh ke rakhungi apne pass.....maine nahi rehna ab door uses ho gaya abhi" she continued with her self talk with the music in the background, but when the song changed into his voice she went silent.

That night when she was drunk and slept while talking, the phone wasn't hung up and her call recoder being on, out of habit had their whole conversation on it. Her heart throbbed at his loud roar when he said he loves her and he never loved Sheena. She felt herself to be the most foolish person when she got enlightened with the scene she saw and what actually it was. She was numb to know why he never spoke his heart out to her. She was thankful to Rahul and Shreya who were there with him, when she heard his sobs. It was the most painful sound she has ever heard. And now she can't wait to go back to him, and to wrap herself back in his arms, and this time forever.

In these months Sidharth was aware of her every single breath. He laughed at her silly stories, his blood boiled when he came to know that she was being nagged and he would shed tears when he would know she cried. How.....Shreya and Maa were the two who were connecter of the two hearts. Evening after the wind up would be all about Sana.

One such evening Maa finally asked him " Sidharth...main maa hun na tumhari"

"Aap Maa se badhkar hai" he replied with a content smile and respect.

"Main kuch poochungi to sach bolega"

"Ofcourse Maa"

"You love Sana, don't you? "

He took a pause at the question, smiled and keeping his head in her lap he spoke "I always have Maa, since the day I knew she existed". He had let go all his inhibitions because he know there is no world he could survive without her. His words had the honesty and a true determination for her. Maa was more than happy to know that her Sana was loved by someone so perfect who loves her like mad.

*******
It was 24 December. Sidharth was late, from. his usual time and he even missed a few calls of Maa and he knew he was going to face the wrath and he was ready for it.He loved even that. It was love indeed. As soon as he entered, he shivered and he stilled with the warmth, the home was radiating.It was lively again as it echoed with her giggles and her "hayee Maa". He was sure she was a few steps away from him and it wasn't a video call or a dream but reality. He could feel it in his every cell as they rejuvenated with the warmth and his heart throbbed to meet its other half. She was finally back.

Our souls have been waiting lifetime for our hearts to finally meet .
