(40.)

"Sidharthhh...tu-tu sacch mein chahta hai ke mai chali jau yaha se?" Sana said as tears were flowing down from her eyes. She was utterly disappointed.

"Aisa nhi hai baby... Tu aisa kyu samajh rhi hai?" Sidharth said cupping her face. "Mai bass protect kar rha hoon tujhe... I can't afford anything happening to you."

"Toh mujhe saath rakhke bhi toh protect kar sakta haina tu?" She said holding his hands which was on her face. "Humne ek dusre ko promise kia tha na, that we'll be there for each other... aur ab ye ek problem aa gyi aur tu mujhe dur bhej rha hai apne se? This is not done. Aisa kyu kar rha hai tu?"

"Tere bhale ke liye kar rha hoon... Samajh mein nhi aa rha tereko ke ye mere liye bhi mushkil hai... lekin mai teri tarah zid nhi kar rhi hoona. Tu situation ki seriousness ko samajh nhi rhi hai Sana. Aaj mai tere saath tha. Kal agar main nhi hoon and something happens, kya karunga mai? How can I live if something happens to you? I can't trust that Danny ke wo ab tere peeche nhi aayega". Sidharth said losing his calm which only made Sana cry more.

"Roh mat Sweetheart itna..." Sidharth said holding her shoulder, but she jerked his hand off and sat on the couch. She kept staring at her phone screen on the tickets he sent when he was figuring out how to comsole her. Suddenly, her eyes caught on something, and she said-

"Tu sirf Danny ke wajah se mujhe bhej rha haina?"

"Aur kya wajah hogi Shehnaaz?" he asked.

"Kyunki maine abhi dekha booking ka time. Tune ye tickets tab li na jab hum station mein the... tab toh tujhe pata bhi nhi tha ke ye sab Danny ne karwaya hai. Phir..phir tune ye tickets kyu book kiye?" Sana asked suspiciously. Sidharth was tired to lying to her but he decided to do it yet again.

"Kyunki I knew wo agar Danny nhi toh koi aur hoga... Aisi hi life hai meri, Sana. I deal with this kind of shit every day. Aur abhi mai ek bohot high profile case handle kar rha hoon... and who knows agar kal ko koi mujhe dhamkane ke liye tujhe nuksaan pohonchane ki koshish kare? I can't take that risk... isiliye please tu meri baat maan aur sirf kuch dino ke liye ghar chali jaa..." Sidharth said settling beside her.

"Nhi reh paungi mai tujhse dur Sidharthh". She said leaning onto his chest. He sighed in relief thinking that she quitted asking questions.

"Haa toh mai konsa khush dikh rha hoon baby... I will also miss you. Lekin abhi please meri baat maan le... Just until ye sab mai sort out nhi kar leta... Kyunki agar tere pe koi musibat aayegi toh mai kuch aur soch bhi nhi paunga". He said patting her back. This was indeed a tough decision for him as well but he had to do it. He knew she'll be safe away from the city, even if that means they have to stay apart for a while.

They both obviously didn't told the whole story to their family. They just said Sana was missing her family and wanted to go for a holiday. But her gloomy face said otherwise. Sana was the saddest person to go from Mumbai and everyone found it suspicious. She didn't do a lot of packing, only a few needy items like her medicine and laptop as Sidharth said -" humesha ke liye nhi jaa rhi tuu... wapis issi kamre mein aana hai tujhe".

She was not satisfied or happy with Sidharth's decision. Moreover, she was angry on him for taking such a big step without her consent but she decided to obey him anyway. She herself wanted him to focus fully on the case and he also made it clear that she's his distraction. Sidharth wanted to accompany Sana on the flight to Chandigarh but she denied. He knew she was not pleased to go away from him and he hated to make her do it.

"Im so sorry Sweetheart! Tu naraaz haina mujhse?" Sidharth asked in the parking lot at the airport. She nodded as tears clanged at the corner of her eyes threatening to fall down any moment soon.
"I don't know tujhe kaise samjhau but mai ye tere acche ke liye kar rha hoon..."
