Love Or Attachment

Chapter 4- The confrontation

Being a well reputated gentleman, the sponsors of the show invited Sid as their guest of the evening.
Sid was equally shocked as Sana when they saw each other. Both continued to stare at each other for sometime when the host came on the stage and thanked Sana for her beautiful performance.
Sana thanked the audience for their warm welcome and appreciation and left the stage.

At the backstage, Sana had tears of joy as she was so elated that she saw Sid after 3 months.
She hugged Rohan and told him about Sid's presence.

As she turned her head to find her way to meet Sid, to her surprise she saw Sid standing right in front of her.
Sana asked Rohan: "Are you seeing Sid too or it's just my illusion?"
Then Rohan extended his hand for a handshake with Sid and the latter did the same.
Rohan left the backstage saying: "Glad to meet you Mr Sidharth. I've heard a lot about you. Can you both excuse me, i have some work to do on the stage. Goodbye Mr Sidharth. Have a nice evening ahead."
With this, only Sana and Sid were left alone in the backstage room.

With their eyes fill with tears, both were staring in each other's eyes.
Sana was about to hug Sid when suddenly Sid grabbed her wrist so that she doesn't do so.
Shocked and hurt, Sana was unable to hold her tears anymore. Flood of tears ran from her eyes and Sid was still staring at her with no regret.

"I don't look back at something that hurt me. Such hurtful and toxic things should be only remain in the past." Said Sid with hatred and pain in his red eyes filled with tears.

Sana who was so hurt by his words and was crying continuosly. As she was about to open her mouth to communicate with Sid, the latter stopped her by placing his index finger on her lips, grabbed her arm with his other hand and pressed her against the wall. Both were staring in each other's eyes.

"Shut the fuck up Sana. There's absolutely no explanation on the childish and stupid step you took three months ago. You proved that i was so right about you. You're such a selfish and heartless person. Am so glad that i've not fallen in the trap of your fake love. Three months ago you claim to love me but here romancing with other man?"

Unable to tolerate Sid's harsh words and character assassinate her anymore, she pushed Sid back and yelled at him:
"Enough of your nonsense Sid. If i'm silent doesn't mean that i'll tolerate all these allegations on me.
I agree that maybe i shouldn't have ran away from you three months ago. But i tried a lot get you off my mind even you've rejected me, but i couldn't do so. This one sided love was killing me day by day. Leaving the city was the only solution i could find to get detached from you."

"Oh please, enough of you emotional drama. Everyone knows how fake you and your love is. Loving you was the greatest mistake of my life". Saying this, Sid remained quiet, realising that he just confessed Sana that he loved her.

Hearing this Sana was shocked and her face was glowing with joy.
"What did you just say? You love me?" She said

Sid remained quiet and turned his back towards Sana.
He then replied "Yes i loved you. But as a friend. But after what you did, i hate you more than everything Now get lost and get the hell out of my life."

Hearing his statement, Sana's joy didn't last for long.

Sid was about to say something else when a voice from the stage took Sid's name to thank him for having him as the guest of honour of the show.
Sid looked at Sana's face with anger and left for the stage.

On the stage, as Sid was going to interact with the audience, he saw Sana in tears running towards the main door entrance and left the hotel.

After his short speech and words of appreciation, Sid ran after Sana to stop her leaving alone in the middle of the night.
