Kissing A Devil (Complete and Continuing In The Sequel)

Chapter 7

Sana had cried herself to sleep after returning from the hotel. She gets up to a knock again. A lady comes in and switches the light on. She says,"Mam, the dinner is ready. Please come downstairs. Mr.Raichand wants you there in 10 minutes." Sana gives out a deep breath murmuring to herself, "Yeah yeah..another order by Mr.Raichand.."

Sana goes into the door, the closet. Door leads to two huge rooms. She had only looked at it from outside, now she understands the actual size of the space. The right hand side goes to his section, prohibited one. The left hand side is her's. She goes inside and gets amazed by the amount of clothes it has. There are separate rows of dresses, sarees, salwar suits, trousers, shirts and skirts. All branded and high end clothes in them. There are racks filled with branded bags, shoes and accessories. The drawers are filled with the most expensive lingerie and nightgowns. Unable to control her excitement, she giggles.

Sana gets downstairs wearing a simple knee length dress with long sleeves and a simple flip flops. Dadi is sitting with Sumit at one side of the long dining table. They smile at her as she comes and sits beside Sumit. Sidharth is nowhere in sight. She asks, "Dadi aap dono kahan the aaj subha se?" Sumit excitedly says,"Sidharth bhaiya had arranged for us to see new schools. Dadi and I had visited them." "But why? Sumit is already in a good school. The session has already started. Why?", she asks. "Because I want it.", they hear. She turns her head to see him, Sidharth standing. His hair wet, back combed, in a white shirt with folded shelves and a black trousers, he stands with his hands behind his back.

He comes and sits at the chair placed at the head of the table. Smiling at Dadi he says, "How was the tour? Sumit, did you like the schools?" Sumit excitedly answers, "yes. One had a huge basketball court football ground and another had a great computer room. I really can't say which is better." Sidharth smiles at him,"You don't have to. You will be attending the best school in the whole country." "But why? He is.." Sana is again interrupted by Sidharth,"Sweetheart, you ask too many questions. I want the best for Sumit, now that he is my responsibility. So I have decided he will study in the best school. He is a bright student and a good basketball player. So he will attend the school where his skills will be given the right directions." Sana wanted to oppose him, tell him, he has no one to decide for her brother. Right her brother not his. Sumit is her responsibility not his. But she decides to stay quiet as she knows it will be of no use.

Two elderly ladies bring up the dinner as Martha comes and stands beside Sidharth. After all the dishes have been placed on the table, Martha starts serving Sidharth. She places the plate in front of him. Sidharth looks at her once before cutting through her chicken breasts for a bite. There is everything on the table, Rotis, rice, dal, chicken, curries, salad and desserts including vermicelli pudding and two varieties of pastries. Sana looks at Sidharth's plate, just a portion of salad and a piece of grilled chicken breast.

Dinner continues in silence till Dadi asks,"I think I should return back to my place." Sidharth looks at her and says,"I was about to speak to you regarding this. Actually you have to stay here for a few days more." Dadi and Sana look at him as he continues,"Dadi Sana is worried for you. She doesn't want you to stay there alone." Dadi laughs, "Sidharth I can't stay at my daughter's place. I have been alone for quite some time now. I will be okay." "No Dadi we can't let you stay alone. I am arranging your visa. If you can't stay with us, you must stay with your daughter then. Please till that time you be here." , he says. Sana nods her head,"Mr.Raichand is right. You should go to Tinadi 's place. You had promised me." Dadi nods her head as Sidharth says,"Also I want you here because I and Sana will be away for a few days. Actually I am taking her to a special place for our honeymoon." Sana's face turns pale as she stares at his face. Dadi smiles,"Great. I wanted to ask about it. Good god. Go. I will stay then. When are you leaving?" Sidharth smirks at Sana and says,"Tomorrow evening."
