She comes and joins him as soon as he arrives to pick her up for dinner as planned.
Her inner self was longing for his presence and there she loses all her control and ends up rushing into his arms..
He too holds her tightly to reciprocate as she drapes her arms around his neck..
"Maat karna yeh mere saath next time!".. she mumbles in her broken tone..
He kisses on her drapped arms.."Tu bhi mujhe chhorke nehi jayegi..!"
She pulls herself back gently..
"Sidharth..! Phirse wahi baat! How do I make you understand?!"
"I don't want to understand anything Sana! I can't force you, I am just telling you what I want.."
"Okay..chhoro yeh sab..ab let's not ruin this moment..start the car.."..she deliberately changes the topic..
****************
After an hour, on reaching the diner..
He pulls out a chair to let her sit first.."come.. sit"..
They sit facing each other and Sidharth calls a waiter to place the order..
"So what do you want to have?"
"Jo bhi order karoge baas desert mein ice cream hona chahiye!"... She smiles at him lovingly..
"Haan ji.. sure..!".. he starts placing the order and Sana looks around to see the ambience..
After a while...
"Sidharth..?"
"Hmm..?".. he scrolls down his mobile to see the missed calls..
"Can I ask you something?"
"Pagal do you need a permission for that?!"
"Woh baat nehi hai..achha ek baat batao..aap ne yeh restaurant kyun choose kiya?"
He senses a sudden change in her tone..
"Kyun? Are you not liking it here?!"
"Not that actually! Infact I love the ambience..! But.. "
"But..?"
"Are you sure it wasn't planned?!"..she frowns at him slightly..
"It was! I did plan it with you in the morning na?!"
"With me only?"
"Ofcourse!"
"Toh phir yeh yahan kya kar rahi hai?!".. she hints towards a table behind him..
He turns back and gets to see Swati chilling with a group, most likely her friends..
"Look I don't know why she is here. This is a coincidence!"
"Kuch zyada coincidence nehi hai?!"..she gives out a fake smile..
He leaves out a frustrating exhale.. "Ok!! I think it's time! Before it becomes too ugly, I need to sort this out! Come with me..!".. he holds her hand and they both start walking towards that table..
"Sidharth! What the hell are you doing?!!"
"Chup! I want to finish this insecurity once and for all today!"
"Hey Swati! What's up?!"
"Sir!! What a pleasant surprise!"... She stands up, greeting him..
"I am sure you are here to celebrate your birthday?!"
"Oh yes Sir! And that must be Sana, right?!"
"Yes! This is Sana and Sana meet Swati..she has recently joined my office and it's her birthday!"
"Hi Swati.. happy birthday!"
"Thank you Sana! Nice meeting you! We had long chat in Singapore about you! Why don't you guys join us?!"
"No no..please enjoy your time with your friends..it's just that, we happened to see you around, so thought of introducing you to her!"
"I am glad Sir! And I must say Sana, you are lucky! The only thing we discussed personal was about you! Aaj kal kaha milte hai Sir jaise itne humble and achhe insaan?!"
He drapes his arm around Sana..."You are kind but I guess I am more lucky! Anyway you enjoy your dinner..have a great birthday!"
"Thank you Sir! You too!"..she smiles back at him..
They go back to their table..
Now this has become awkward for Sana! She wasn't expecting this!
"Ab kya hua? Why are you so quiet?!"
"Aap ko yeh nehi karna chahiye tha Sidharth! I felt awkward!"
"Nehi karta..kabhi nehi karta! Aur kabhi kiya bhi nehi hai maine yeh sab! But I can't let this insecurity grow any further! Singapore se leke ab tak it has already taken a toll on us!"
She remains silent..
"Now what is wrong with you?! Ab kyun mood off karke baithi huyi hai?! Why are you spoiling all my efforts yaar?!"
"Sidharth take it easy! I am okay! I need time to register this! That was awkward!"
"Yeh achha hai! Kuch karo toh problem aur na karo toh bhi problem!!"... He drops down the spoon from his hand quite irritatingly..
"Ok I am sorry! Let me serve you..".. she tries diffusing the situation now..
As she starts serving the food on his plate, he looks at her intensely and holds her hand into a tight grip..
"I don't want us to break!"... He mumbles..
She looks into his eyes and places a kiss on his hand..."I will not let us break ever!"
*****************
On the other side.. "Swati your boss is handsome huh?!"..one of her friends speaks up..
"He is indeed! But most importantly I consider him an idol, a gem of a person!".. she looks at him from distance without blinking much..
"His girlfriend is very pretty too! Lekin bohot young hai!"
"Haan! Humse bhi choti hai..! This guy is in mad love with her! And this love is genuine!"
"Achha tujhe kaise pata?!"
"I could see that in his eyes!".. she is still glaring at him..
"Ohooo! Zara dekho guys kaise dekh rahi hai us bande ko! Behen sambhal le khudko! He has a girlfriend!"
"Abee yaar! I only admire him, nothing else! Only lucky girls like her get such guys! And I guess I am not as lucky! Chal chal let's finish the dinner..!".. she turns back and laughs at her ownself for being a little weird but somewhere she loves talking about him now..!
