Madam Sirr 2

Chapter 41

41. A Wedding Reunion

The wooden lantern hung above swayed in the breeze, casting a golden hue silhouetted by its diverse weavings. The light caught the frames majestically, diverting the light all across the restaurant that it felt as if basking in the luxurious warmth of the setting sun.

Cc and SS sat next to each other, directly under the golden lantern, their eyes locked on to each other. Cheetah wrapped his hand around Santosh, his fingers nimbly grazing her knuckles.
She smiled, his touch intoxicating her as she stared deep into his eyes, traveling deep into the distant past.

SS remembered their second home, the MPT, where they had all breathed of freedom. She chuckled inwardly recalling Cheetah's failed attempts at flirting to which she remained completely oblivious. She cursed herself, groaning inwardly for being so ignorant. Cheetah's grip on her tightened yet she continued to stare, traveling down on the memory lane her face adorned with a bright smile. She remembered his words "uff ye masumiyat", Cheetah's trademark diction as he attempted to cheer her as always.

"Santu Ji..." his voice broke her reverie as she woke back to the present, smiling coyly at him.

"You look so beautiful Santu..." he murmured half to himself being lost in her captivating beauty.

"Cheetah. I'm really happy today..." she said looking at him. "I honestly cannot still believe that we are getting married." she said her voice getting squeaky and emotional.

"Haan Santu Ji, I've been waiting to marry you since the first-day I met you."

SS smiled blushing as Cheetah's eyes absent mindedly grazed her. She rapped on his knuckles waking him up from his dreamland.

"Cheetah I want to do something special for madam sir and Karishma madam. It's because of them that we united cheetah."

"Hann Santu..." his eyes blurred with tears reminiscent of the past. "But what can we do Santu?"
Her eyes lit up brightly as she stood up straight. "Cheetah let's have a small party inviting our old team. It will be great to see them again. I miss them so much Cheete..."

Cheetah stood up and wrapped his arms around her as she snuggled into his chest, tears falling down her eyes. He kissed her head and leaned onto her, tightly wrapping himself.

"They are our family Santu... "

The couple left the hotel, their hands woven together under the cluster of stars. They passed in a comfortable silence, their hearts echoing of a gratitude to their family; the family they could never leave...

Haseena stepped inside MPT rotating her baton in full swag balancing it in both hands. She smiled nodding at Aliya and Jhaanvi who stood up to greet her while she made her way towards KS's cabin. She paused before going in, her eyes settling on a disturbed KS. Haseena leaned against the door frame watching KS's face fill with a rosy blush. Haseena stepped in a mischievous twinkle gleaming in her eyes as she towered over KS and composed her posture, a faux annoyance on her face.

She stood in front of KS, her hands crossed. As Haseena glanced at KS, she hid her laughter as KS's face blushed red, her words swallowing her whole. Haseena watched the whole ordeal, KS's romantic antics surprising her. After a while, Haseena cleared her throat loudly, gaining KS's attention.

She looked up, her eyes registering in fear as the phone fell with a loud thud. KS stood up and saluted her, fumbling to speak, her words coming out as bare whispers.
