Kissing A Devil (Complete and Continuing In The Sequel)

Chapter 28

"Wow!"
Sana whispers, turning towards him.
"That was beautiful..You are incredible. How do you do that? You are incredible..Do you mean everything you said or was this just a poem? I mean, do I really mean so much to you?Am I your sukoon? Am I.. ", she asks.
Sidharth pulls her close,"You have started again, you're blabbering again. Should I try to shut your mouth again?"
"No.", Sana blushes and buries her face near his chest.
Sidharth wraps his arms around her and closes his eyes. A sense of calmness filled him at once.

Sana says,"Sid..arth Raichand.. mujhe neend aa rahi hai.."
"Hmm.. then go to the bed..", he smiles.
"Sid.. arth.. Raich..and.. why do I have to call you that? Sidharth, Can't I just call you Sidharth?"
"You said you were sleepy. Chalo andar."
"No.. I wish I could fly away to bed.. mujhse chala nahi jata hai...SR ji..please kuch karo."
"What is this SR ji now?"
"I get tired calling you Sidharth Raichand..so this is it's short form... stop asking questions.. neend aa rahi hai."

Sidharth smiles and lifts her in her arms and carries her to the bed. She stares into his eyes as she puts her arms around him. He gently places her on the bed.
He turns to leave when she says,"Don't go.. you need to rest now. Come to bed."
"Stop nagging again, wifey and go to sleep."

"Meri iss tanha zindagi mein,
Tu kisi mojza se kaam nahi.
Aaj main yahan baith sochun,
Tu haqeeqat hai ya koi khwaab toh nahi.
Muskara raha hun gham mein.
Taklif mein bhi koi dard nahi.
Kho gaya hun main tere masum baton mein,
Mujhe aur kisi cheez ki jarurat nahi."

Sidharth sits on his chair, watching her sleep. After the day's incidents, he can't believe that he is smiling, thanks to the miracle, sleeping in his bed.
"Miserable and Miracle both start with M. You are the miracle to my miserable life. Not love wala love but liking se thoda jyada wala love. Where do you get such logic? I don't know if there is anything that is more than liking and less than love. All I know is that I love you more than anything and nothing less."

"I remember the first time I carried you in my arms. It was Sumit's birthday and you had sprained your ankle, wearing those high heels. You shouldn't have worn 9 inches heels, I had said the same to you. I could have said, you look cute the way you are but the awkward me blurted out, 'You are tiny and it suits you.' How stupid does it sound!
That night I wished to carry you to my room as my bride. I dreamt of a life together. I for the first time accepted that I really felt for you. I asked Mary the next morning,' What was love? '
We were coming closer. I could feel it. Do you remember the time we had dinner together? You were so excited to see the ambience. Date. You asked me if this is a date. I wish I could have said yes. It was for me though, but I remained silent like always."

A few days later after attending Sumit's birthday, Sana returns to the hotel. She goes to the cabin of Sidharth with his tea for their 6 minutes of interaction. But was disappointed as Sidharth was not there. The day went by normally but Sana was really missing something. After that night, she was really looking forward to seeing his handsome face again.

Sidharth returned two days later and called Sana to his room.
"Good morning Sir. Your tea..", she says coming in.
Sidharth without looking,"Hope you are not wearing high heels today."
Sana makes a face, "No. By the way, thank you for helping me that night."
"You mean carrying you to your bed. Yes it was a tough job.. "
"What do you mean? See this not fair, first you called me tiny and now obese."
"No, but you are heavy."
Shehnaaz makes a face and turns to leave when she hears,"Did I tell you to go?"

Sana stops and waits for him to speak,"There is a very important event coming up at our Goa Resort. You are coming with me. It is a one day trip. We will leave tomorrow morning and return the next morning. Car will pick you up, so don't be late."
Sana looks at him with surprise,"Goa? I mean I am going with you to Goa?"
Sidharth looks up from his tea,"Do you have a problem coming with me?"
"Problem? Who me? No.. never..", she laughs
