Soul Resonance

Chapter 40

An awkward silence drops in the car. Sana looks entirely to the other side to avoid any possible contact while he is not even taking any initiative to start a conversation..

Nevertheless, he does realize that it's necessary to clarify his stand behind this act..

"Toh phone kaha hai tumhara?"

She doesn't reply, neither turns to his side..

"Kya hua? Can't you hear me?"

She still doesn't answer..

Since he is driving, he uses his left hand to pull on her arms to turn her around.."Idhar dekho!"

"Ouchhh!! Sidharth! Main kuch bol nehi rahi hoon iska matlab yeh nehi hai that I am weak! Next time, don't you dare try this zabardasti with me!"... She almost trembles in anger, widening her red eyes filled with tears..

"Nehi karunga..Sahi se jawab de do..koi zabardasti nehi karunga..toh jo main puch raha tha uska jawab do.. where is your phone?"

"Bag mein hai.."

"Utha kyun nehi rahi thi?!"

"Silent mode is on and maine kisika phone nehi uthaya"

"Hmm..ek baat bata..career bohot important hai na tere liye?!"

"Why are you asking me this question now?!"

"Tell me, hai na important?!"

"Pata nehi.."

"Final dissertation submit kiye bina kaha ja rahi thi?!"

She remains quiet..

"I am waiting for an answer Sana!!"

She takes a long deep breath to absorb this and prevent herself from any retaliation..!

"Sidharth nehi ladna hai mujhe ab! Waise bhi I am not feeling well.. ghar drop kardo mujhe baas!"

"Kya hua? Why are you not feeling well?"

"Sab kuch aap ko batana zaroori nehi samajhti main!"

"Oh! I know that very well!".. he smirks sarcastically..

"Kya matlab hai aapka?!"

"That you don't find it necessary telling me things that are prior to you! I absolutely agree with you on this!"

"Baas karo Sidharth!! Sab kuch toh khatam kardiya na aapne..ab kya lene aaye ho aap mere paas?!"..her tone goes down now..

"Don't worry mujhe kuch nehi chahiye tumse!!"

"Toh phir jaane kyun nehi diya mujhe?!"

"Because  I can't let you harm yourself!"

"Ab iska kya matlab hua?!"

Their conversation gets interrupted by a call from Swati, he receives it through his car bluetooth, hence she is audible in the speaker now..

"Sir..?"

"Haan Swati bolo.."

"Sir meeting ka kya kare? Everybody is waiting for you. It's pretty late.."

"Call it off and reschedule it for day after tomorrow.."

"Ok Sir.."..she hangs up..

"Yeh achha hai..isko hamesha bich mein ana hai! Anyway apne jawab nehi diya Sidharth?!"

"Kaunsa jawab?!"

"Wahi.. that you can't harm me.."

"Haan wahi baat hai..tum wahi karogi jo karne tum Mumbai aayi thi! Baas! Baat khatam!"...he says sternly!
