1949 - A Love Story ✅

Part 14

Mahinder: Okay Samdhanji, Shakuntala and I, want to take your leave now. (Folds his hands) We need to catch our return train which would leave in two hours.

Sidharth: What is this Sasurji? Aren't y'all tired of the long journey? Please stay with us today and may be you can travel some other day.

Mahinder: No Jamaai babu, we can't even drink water at our daughter's house, forget staying alone.

Sidharth: I respect your views but it will be tiring for you both.

Mahinder: No problem jamaai babu. We will not get tired as we will get a privileged travel option due to my job in Railway.

They take leave and bless their daughter before leaving her at her husband's house. This time Shehnaaz's eyes were moist as she knew the seperation anxiety.

She sobbed in her room alone. Sidharth went near her and caressed her head. He sat infront of her and wiped her tears.

Sidharth: Are you sad because they went or because you have to put up with me from now on?

Shehnaaz looked at him and a small smile formed up on her crying face. He smiles and holds her hands in his hands.

Sidharth: Finally we are together Sana. I told you don't fear about Maa. She will accept our relationship. Are you happy?

Sana nods with a blush, putting her head down. He lifts her head up by pushing her chin. Her cheeks were red due to shyness and her eyes were still looking down. She bit her lips to control her emotions. He plants a featherlight kisses on her eyes. She was turning more and more red.

Sidharth: Don't you ever cry again. I love your eyes when they shine out of happiness. The smile which reflects in your eyes is mesmerising.

She slowly lifts her eyelids to look into his eyes.

Sidharth: Beautiful!! (He says as he looked into her eyes)

Sana hides her face into his chest out of shyness. He smiles and embraces her.

Sidharth: I fall in love with myself when I see my reflection in your eyes. Your eyes are magical.

Sana: Sir, I am loving your Literature lessons on my eyes. (Smiles)

Sidharth: Hmm.. (smiles) That reminds me Sana, we need to leave in another three hour to go to the city. We need to resume our tomorrow's classes.

Their faces showed disappointment as it meant that they were going to be again away from each other as a husband and wife. Sana would have to stay at her sister's house and Sidharth at his hostel until he finds a house for them to stay together. The grip of their hands now becomes more firmer as if they didn't wanted the other to let go out of their embrace.

Sidharth: It's difficult to find a house on rent in the city but don't lose hope. We will find ways to be together. We can't tell anyone in college about our relationship because over there you are my student. You are very good in literature but others would think I am favouring my wife.

Sana: Hmmm. Can we spend some time with Maaji before we leave?

Sidharth: Yes dear! But Amma is not at home, she went meet the person who got me the other girl's proposal. She has to cancel the Sunday's visit right?
