4 Days later .....

He had been looking at the portrait in disbelief . He just had completed painting  the face which had been his constant throughout these days .
He was amazed at his own mind . The accurate details of her face was painted to perfection in the canvas.  The cute little nose was his favourite he knew , her eyes were such innocently magnetic .. one can't withdraw his gaze from the pair ... Her cheeks were full and so soft .. just like that of a child .

She personified beauty . Every movement , every expression in her face had its own charm . He had hardly seen her for few minutes . She didn't even look at him once... and this pricked him a little..

" What is this god ?? " He mumbled for the nth time now . The restlessness which he felt didn't go well with him . Her not reciprocating it brought back those memories which he never wants to remember .

The tears too pure to be shed , The empathy that eyes held , the softness with which the puppy was held... All of these did things to his soul . The feelings he wanted to bury as soon as it evoked .

The urge to look at that face again was extreme . But it was something next to impossible , atleast it was what he thought .

The knock at his door caught his attention and he knew who it was at the other side .
" Aajaiye padhariye " he spoke with that infamous witty  smile of his .
" Bhai mere pyaare pyaare bhai " Riya chirped peeping to look at her bhai's mood .

No staff were allowed to enter his room while he was painting . His phones remain switched off . It was the only time Sidharth was strict . He never liked people disturbing him during his paintings.
Only his family were the exception . Why shouldn't they be , they are family right ?? ...

" Arre ?? Itnaaa pyaaarrr ??? Kya chahiye .. seedhe seedhe bol " he narrowed his eyes in suspicion .

" Bhai ... Woh na .... mere best friend k ghar pe mehmaan aaye hain .. aur woh sab milke shopping jaa rahe hai.... Mujhe bhi jaane bola hain .. but na time aisa hain ki college ki last class miss hojayegi ... Plzz bhai ma ko manao na plz... Mujhe jaana hain " Riya's pleading eyes was something he never could deny . Laadli thi uski Riya ...

" Chal thik hain .. main maa se baat karlunga ... Par tu notes lelena apne class ki... thik hain ? "
He allowed making her smile .
" Thank u thank u bhaii .... U are the bestttt " she hugged him and ran out of the room possibly to call her bestfriend . He smiled seeing her .

He looked back at the painting and widened his eyes at the thought of Riya noticing the painting .
Noo .. she would tease him till eternity ... She was too excited for her own hang out  to look at the painting and thus he was saved .

His phone pinged with a message ...

" Woh painting ready hain na sir ??? "
" Hume apke ghar se ... Academy pe shift karna hain " ..

The message reminded him that this painting was supposed to be his best for the exhibition . It truly was !! But the thought of exhibiting it ... People buying it ... didn't fit it ...
It felt priceless ... Nothing could be worth the painting ...

His phone pinged again with question marks on not being replied .

" Come after three hours ... " He messaged back .
