What The Future Holds

Chapter 10: The party

Good lord she is so pretty!

Logics : ofcourse she is siddharth.
Heart : well thank god atleast we all agree on THAT.

She was wearing a long plain white dress, Its satin drapes hugged her slender waist,and they cascaded down her body. Her long brown hair, was french braided neatly, yet some of the strands sneakily escaped from its group and danced with the slow wind. There was a small gift in her hand. Her tiny eyes nervously searched the whole room untill she caught eyes with him.

Logics : sid, why is your heart beating so fast?

I wish i knew
He was so taken aback by her beauty, his vocal cord wasn't working anymore. He could only wave at her.

She waved back, and smiled.
Oh how he missed her face. Her smile. He wished she would run to him,or atleast walk faster , because he wasn't able to move a limb. She on the other hand,who was on heels could only walk slowly.

"Shehnaz ,darling you look BEAUTIFUL"

She blushed.

"Happy bday siddharth" She extended her little arms showing her gift. He took it quickly and hugged her tight.
Right then and there he knew , he was finally happy.
He looked around and realised , the people who were there, were only there for the wine and food, but shehnaz was there for him. He smelled her hair and kissed her cheeks.

"Siddharth, are you going to break all my bones? "
His tight hug was hurting her.
He suddenly stopped and stepped back.

"Ahaha, sorry about that, you're not my moti baby anymore."

Before she could say anything , shehnaz was dragged away by his other co-stars, to take selfies. They were all very eager to meet her. Ofcourse she is pretty famous now. He smiled.
Once he found his breath back , and his heart started beating at a normal rate, he went ahead to invite his other guests and to make sure everyone is enjoying.
Till now there was a storm inside him, worried, anxious,nervous, wondering if she'd come, and if she does, what will we talk about? Their last conversation obviously wasn't fun. It must have broken her. But now he knew , she was fine, she was happy, that means he too can be happy.

"We'll make sure everything is done right sir , dont you worry. You should please leave this to us. We'll take care of it "

The party organisers were having a hard time with siddharth, he was taunting them the whole time. Its only because he is a perfectionist and doesnt want anyone to be disappointed, but now he was getting on everyones nerves. One of them finally mustered up the courage to say it.

"Please sir,trust us"

"Alright then" Sidharth nodded.

He walked back to the hall where everyone was dancing. He quickly scanned the room and found her. It was easy to spot her. He just had to look for a fairy in a white dress. She was laughing ,dancing and singing along with her new friends. He watched her from a distance while drinking a glass of wine.
Suddenly a hand caught his shoulder , he turned right , and saw his friend Mahi.

She giggled, and said,
"maybe, instead of gawking at her like all the other men in the room, why dont you show some courage and ask her for a dance?" She was talking about sana.
He looked around and found she was right. All the men were really focussed on her. He felt a little uneasy. But he didnt show it.

"What do you mean i dont have courage"

"Well then what is stopping you?" mahi raised her eyebrows.

Heart : his bloody thoughts and especially logic.
Logics : hey i dont have anything to do with this. Leave me out of it. This party itself is a waste of time,money,and energy.

"Uhh" He smiled and sipped his wine.

He really wanted to dance, but every time he looked at her now , his heart would beat fast and he'll loose his cool. He has never really had any issues with women, he's a pro at flirting, but shehnaz..

Logics : but shehnaz is a friend. Only a friend.
Heart : i thought you said you didnt want to be a part of this.! Get outta here!!

Mahi waited for a response, but once she understood nothing is happening, she sighed and walked away.

He stayed and watched sana a little longer, but he couldn't bear the looks of the other men anymore, he have to move her from there,but he didnt want to make her conscious of these men either.

Logics : what are you waiting for? Get her out of there !
Heart : agreed !

He walked fast towards her and pulled her long braided hair from behind,

"Aaghh,siddharth, dont ruin my hair"

"Come with me"

he dragged her to his side,caught hold of her fingers and took her out of the crowd of dancers.

"Siddhaarth, can you slow down?"

She complained. And tried to loosen her hands from his.
But he didnt let her.

"Chup bey"

"What is up with you?"

He didnt respond but held her hands more tightly and walked briskly towards the balcony.

"Siddharth please, I'm wearing heels. Slow down a little. Do you really want me to fall down and embarrass myself infront of your friends?"

He gestured to a chair near the balcony, and said,

"Sit down.Wait here, ill bring something for you to drink. Ill be back"

She silently obeyed.

Heart : ahem sid ?!! How about being a little sweet and respectful? After all she did come back for you.

Fine,fine ill behave.
He agreed.
He quickly took a glass of orange juice ,and walked back to her. There's a few things they need to talk about.
