Chapter 14

Sleep was far away from Shehnaaz's eyes. It was 4 in the morning, she was thinking of the conversation she just had with Sidharth. A few moments ago she told him what she has been keeping inside her for years. She trusted him, after Shruti and her parents he was the first person to know about her past self.

She tried so hard to hide the truth, she tried not to trust him, she tried not to be around him.

Reason ?

She wasn't ready for those restless nights again.

The nights when she felt she doesn't wanna live anymore. The nights when all the mishaps happened in her life forced her to think she's better off alone. The nights when she felt nothing but lonely. She needed someone, she badly did.

She never tried to find someone after everything. Even when people tried to enter in her life she pushed them away every fucking time!

But at times she be waiting for that someone like the nights wait for sunrises. Still she thought she can live alone until he walked in.

She smiled thinking about him.

Flashback.

Sidharth: So what is it about Rony ?

Shehnaaz was quite struggling to tell him about Rony because she knew telling about Rony means she also have to tell him about the most dreadful night in her life. She just wanted some time to have the strength to talk about it.

She also feared that Sidharth might leave her after knowing all of it. Did she wanna risk it all ? No, never.

She took a glance at her watch.

Shehnaaz: Oh shoot! Sidharth it's super late we have to at least rest for a while before going out tomorrow. Come on let's go.

She hurriedly started leaving when he held her wrist and pulled her towards him. She almost got imbalanced at her place but she prevented herself from falling by holding the hem of his shirt tightly in her fist.

He left her wrist only to pull her closer by her waist. He tightened his grip around her and used his other free hand to hold her chin and make her look at him, while her eyes were closed feeling shy.

He looked at her and was amazed. Yes, they have been close before but he never looked at her face so keenly.

She indeed was the epitome of beauty. Her hazel brown eyes, her long eyelashes, her naturally blushed cheeks and her pink pouted lips. She had everything everyone craved for but she never flaunts her beauty that way.

The moonlit was falling on her face making her look more angelic. Her face was shining in that dark place. As if she's the only light that can prevent the darkness. She opened her eyes to look at him.
