"Sidnaaz"- A Love Saga.💕(Completed✔)

12.The Lie And The Dates.

Sid rolled out of the bed hastily as soon as he was done with reading the message. It was as if destiny didn't want him to be happy even for a moment and all his misfortunes had taken up a human shape in the form this leech gautam.
Sana face palmed herself. She was also pissed off at gautam's worst possible timing and more than necessary clinginess but she didn't want her disappointment to reflect on her face. She had come a long way for a confession and now she wasn't going to back down without one.
She decided to not go after sid and let him absorb the situation by himself.

Sid was heartbroken to say the least but he also couldn't overlook the fact that sana was unwell and no matter how much differences come between them,he'd always care for her. Sana had a meeting to attend to and then also interviews to go to.
She got ready in a little black dress and messy curls.
Sid fixed them some breakfast and they were having it silently. There were just their munching noises superpositioning each other.

Sana-"Kal raat ke liye thanks. You saved me. I didn't know swimming really. Main sach mein dar gayi thi."

Sid-"Ba..by I mean sana main janta hu that you're scared of water. I would've done it for just anyone."

Sana-"so I'm just anyone now?"

Sid-"well you're the "special someone" for gautam. Aren't you happy?"

Sana-"are you?"

Sid-"meh. It's your life,your choice."

Sana-"toh tumhe fadak nahi padta? All I've wanted are fucking words. You can't use your words sid. It's sad.
I have no choice. You've left me with one."

Saying this sana had her last sip of coffee and held her tears back. She snatched her bag from the table and banged the door behind her while she left.

Sid was left to think about what she just said. Yesterday in the party too she had spilled most of the things that were in her heart to sid. But sid could never do the same. He wished things were that simple. For the first time he wished that he was some hormonal impulsive teenager who could convey their love with ostentatious exhibits of affection and charming words but he was none of that. He was a mature 40 year old who had to contemplate a lot. He didn't just have his own responsibility but also that of sana's. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if their relationship affect sana's career or influence the opportunities coming her way. But being away wasn't making them happy either.

On the other hand sana had attented her meeting with half her heart in it. She wasn't herself. Was she doing the right thing by depriving both of themselves of the love that they could've had even without words? Well it wasn't too much to ask was it?
She also gave her interviews and tried to dodge the sidnaaz questions as much as she could. But she is sana after all,in some questions she answered instinctively and acknowledged the relationship.
Sana wasn't having the best day and she decided to take up gautam on his offer for dinner.

Gautam took her out to some posh restaurant that served food in tediously small portions and they lights were too dimly lit to even look around. Sana was someone who liked street foods and dhabas so she was well aware of how she was going to like it here. Sana couldn't find gautam capable of holding her attention in his conversations for more than 5 minutes. She found it tiresome to listen to him.
Her mind wandered of to what sid might be doing. Sid was always so effortless with his talks. He had a natural sense of humour without even trying. sana could converse with him all day long.
Sid would know to take her to dhabas or punjabi restaurants to make her happy. He knew her like the back of his hand. He knew when a dish would be too spicy for her and when to swiftly slide her the glass of water. Truth be told,sana was missing sid more than she wanted to admit. She missed him caring for her and showering affection. With him,she could be an absolute kid and he'd still keep up. She missed being that kid and throwing unreasonable tantrums.
