"Being your counselor, it's my concern as well! Your mental health is important for me!"
"I am fine! Please! Irritate maat karo! This can't be any more personal!"
"Maine kiya kya hai aapke sath? Usdin jo hua, that was only a moment! Why are you blaming yourself?! What makes you overthink so much?!"
"I am not accountable to you to give answers!"
"Sidharth, I thought we were friends!"
"I can't do this Sana! Main woh admi nehi raha abhi! I am sorry! Mere paas tumhe dene k leye kuch bhi nehi hai.. dosti bhi nehi!"... He stares at her for a good while and eventually walks out of the premises..
Sunil comes out after a while and finds her standing there on the same place..
"Kya hua? Baat huyi?"
"Haan.. and he wants me to not interfere in his life!"
"Yeh Sidharth ko ho kya gaya hai?! Anyway please don't mind his words! He is just too scared to give himself a second chance!"
"Sunil ji.. I was there.. I was almost there jaha se he could have accepted the reality and move on! But he wants to drop it all here! A person who doesn't want to help himself, main kya, no one can heal him! Maine zindagi mein bohot kam logoko dost mana hai! He is one of them, even for that matter, I never felt so much for a friend! Pata nehi kyun, after being with him for 48 hours and listening to all that he had to vent out, my mind isnt in the right place!"..she sounds too low and taken up..
"I am sorry Sana! Lekin jaha tak main is bande ko janta hoon.. woh tumhe khud phone karega! Do something.. tum kuch dino k leye chup raho..!"
"Main chahke bhi yeh nehi kar sakti! He is my patient and I can't put pressure on his brain! Moreover, I will have to follow up! But the good news is, I still have time for the next follow up! Tab tak I will rather call you for updates..!"
"Sure! Any time!"
Sunil and Sana proceed towards the exit and finds him waiting inside the car for Sunil..
"Ok Sunil ji..take care! Bye!"
"Bye Sana!"
"Sana?"... Sidharth calls her abruptly from behind..
She turns her face back to him..
"Get inside the car...I will drop you.."
"Kyun? Why do you want to help a mere counselor?! Moreover, aap toh mujhe dost nehi mante ho na?!"..she glares at him without blinking..
He remains quiet and doesn't even look at her to reciprocate..
"It's okay..I will manage!"...she walks away..
***************
It's been a span of two weeks, neither Sidharth nor Sana has taken an initiative of calling each other. On the contrary, they don't even deny that there is an unspoken and undefined feeling, that has developed within a very short period of time!
Sana in Dr. Muskaan's chamber..
"Sana..?"
"Haan ji Ma'am?"
"Sidharth ka next follow up kab hai?"
"Ma'am tomorrow.."
"Tum ja rahi ho na because he will never show up..pata hai na tumhe?"
"Haan ji..I have prepared everything.. don't worry!"
"He needs to get out of this Sana! It's just not him who is getting affected only!"...Dr. Muskaan sighs..
"Main samjhi nehi Ma'am! And main subah se dekh rahi hoon..you look very disturbed! Is everything okay?!"
"My daughter..Naina, bachpan se Sidharth ko bohot pyaar karti hai! But it was always a NO from his side! Bohot ziddi hai! Bohot samjha neki koshish ki hai maine but I failed! Jab he was in a serious relationship, she got married to somebody else lekin woh shadi bhi toot gayi within 6 months! Now she is again hell bent for him! My friend, as in Sidharth's Mom is also trying to get him settled and usse Naina bhi bohot pasand hai! Lekin yeh Sidharth!".. she exhales..
She feels an ache inside on hearing this! This is just getting too difficult for her to overlook things and move on for the sake of her professional binding only! As a matter of fact, she acknowledged this man as her personal responsibility but now, somewhere she is being forced to reconsider the way she feels!
"Sana..?"
"Haan?"
"Kya hua? Kaha kho gayi?"
"Nothing Ma'am! Aur aap tension maat lo! Sidharth is doing much better! I am in touch with his friend!"
"Good then..chalo..let me know how it goes tomorrow..!"
"Haan ji sure!"
**************
Next day,
It's 12 pm already and she is late by 1 hour! She was supposed to be at Sidharth's place by 11 am but because of bad traffic, she had to take a longer route to reach almost near to his place. The taxi driver has dropped her to the opposite side of the road..
Sidharth, on the other side, waited for her to show up according to the appointment that has been fixed. However, he couldn't wait any longer because an important meeting has been scheduled by Mr. Agarwal and he has to reach office within the next 30 minutes.
She has almost crossed the road when a car skids on purpose on a wet surface and the driver loses his control!! He tries to push on a hard brake, but fails to do so and it is just about to hit her when she feels an abrupt pull from her back..!!
"Pagal ho?! Dikhai nehi deta hai kya??!!"...he screams at her on top of his voice..!!
Before she could understand the intensity of the situation, he starts screaming and she feels all numb!! Her senses have stopped working! She could have just died!!
"You bastard! Is it a road for speeding up and doing that stunt?!"...he pulls on his collar, snatching the guy out of car!
"I...am sorry! I didn't realize!"..the guy blabbers in fear!
"You could have killed her you son of a..!"
"Sidharth chhoriye usko! Leave him!"...she pulls on his shirt with all her force but he is uncontrollable..!
"Please Sidharth! I am already scared! Leave him! Please!"...she starts crying audibly now..!
He turns his face back to her and feels exactly the same throb when he gets to see his Mom cry! Eventually, he loses his grip on the guy and turns back to her entirely..!
"Hey relax!! Come..! Let me take you home..!"
