Evolved Love

Chapter 27

Sidharth walks in and moves forward to wake her up..

"Sana..?".. he calls her steadily without disturbing others..

"Hmm..?".. she opens her eyes to see him sitting beside..

"Chalo mere sath..you need to take proper rest..you didn't sleep properly.."

"I was sleeping here only, why did you wake me up?".. she questions him back..

"Because I want you to go back to our room and sleep..Jagdish Bhai needs rest as well..he is sleeping on the couch..come'on get up.."

"Okay..ek second.." she pulls on her shrug slowly which has slipped under Tara's arm.."

"Chalo.."..he takes her back to their room..

***************

After they step inside the other room..

"Baby make me a cup of tea na.. my head is still spinning!".. says Sidharth while lighting up a cigarette..

Sana doesn't speak a word in reply but does make him a tea without interacting at all..

She holds the cup in front of him and he looks at her face immediately..

He realizes it's time for him to diffuse this stiffness! Hence, he takes the cup with one hand and holds on her arm with the other..

Placing the cup on the table beside, he pulls her on his lap..

"Sidharth please! Not now!".. she gets bugged..

"Meri pyaari si biwi ki face itni dull? Not done yaar!"

Her eyes starts welling..

"Rona araha hai?".. he asks kissing on her shoulder..

She doesn't speak..

He removes hair from her face.."Bohot bura laga?"..He cupps her face and turns it towards him..

She stares at him with her reddened and clogged eyes with tears..

"Tujhe pata hai na I can't see this face of yours..!".. he looks at her intensely..

She nods her head..

"Baat kar na baby..".. he pleads.

"Mujhe sona hai..".. she speaks..

He feels a sudden change in her behavior..

"Okay... Main bhi ajaun?".. he asks..

"Aapki majzi..".. she gets off his lap and goes straight to the bed..

*****************

This was supposed to be their last day in Goa but considering Tara's health, they have changed their tickets accordingly..

It's almost late evening, Sana is sleeping late while Sidharth is going through their happy pictures of this trip so far..

There is a knock on his door and he opens it to see his darling niece on the other side of the door with her Mom..

"Tara...how are you beta?".. he lifts her to hold her into a warm hug..

"Main theek hoon..but you are miserable Mama!"

"Kyun maine kiya?".. they all step inside the room..

"Though I was having an attack but I could hear your screams! Galat baat hai! Mumma mujhe tab punish karti hai jab main jhooth bolti hoon ya phir koi inappropriate kam karti hoon! And you punished her for nothing! Hai na Mumma?!".. she turns her face back to her..
