Unspoken Past (Completed)

Angry Siddharth.

      Sid and Sana reached Sheetal's boutique. She was feeling awkward. She didn't knew how she would feel meeting the girlfriend of the man whom she had loved so much once. Once?? Doesn't she love him now?? No. She doesn't. As they entered through the glass door. A tall, slim, elegant, gorgeous girl walked towards them with a smile on her face. Her eyes only on Sid. As if nothing else or no one else mattered. She walked straight to Sid and hugged him. He too took her in his embrace. Sana took a step back as if been automatically pushed by someone. She stood with her head low. Waiting for them to finish their little romantic encounter. She looked at the boutique. It was beautiful as it's owner. The same style and elegance. Sid stepped behind to remove Sheetal from his embrace and looked at Sana. He didn't wanted to embarrass her.
Sid: Sheetal yeh hai Sana. Meri best friend aur Pari ke cousin.
     Sheetal shifted her eyes to Sana. As if forcing it. Her expression turned from loving to cold. Her smile intact. Sana clearly understood that Sheetal doesn't like her.
Sana: Oh to tum ho Sana. Delighted to meet you. Sid karta hai bahot baat tumhare baare me. Tumhara koi song bhi aaya hai na?? Actually I'm not into punjabi music. Muje saare gaane ek jaise he lagta hai. Oh I'm sorry. I'm sure tumhara gaana accha he hoga. Kyu Sid?? Come come. Pari aur chachi sab hai ander.
      They went inside. Pari has put on her lehenga and was looking in the mirror. She looked at Sana through the mirror and raised her eyebrow. Sana winked at her and Pari smiled. Pari tried other dresses too. Sid had disappeared with Sheetal. Ruhi tried hers too.
Reet: Sana tu bhi catalog dekh le.
Sana: Aani muje nhi chahiye. Mai le aayi hu
     Sid and Sheetal appeared. Sid had a grim expression on his face.
Reet: Sheetal Sana ke leye bhi ek dress design kar doge please??
Sheetal: Chachi abhi to bahot tight schedule hai. Already do, teen shaadi ke contracts hai. Dekhte hu agar stock me kuch ho ga to de deti hu.
     Chachi was taken aback. Sid didn't like her answer.
Sid: Sheetal tum ek dress ke leye time nikaal sakti ho yaar.
Sheetal: Sid agar nikaal sakti to Mai bolti he nhi na baby. Bola na mere paas stock me hoga vo de dungi.
Sid: That means kisine reject kiya hua??
Sheetal: Sid vo designer piece hai.
Sid: Nahi chahiye. Chachi hum le lenge kahi aur se.
Sana: Nahi nhi. It's ok muje chalega aapke stock me se.
Sid: Nahi. Nahi chalega. Sheetal tum tension mat lo. I will manage.
Sheetal: Sid why are you getting so upset?? Tum jaante ho mere dresses agar stock me ho to bhi best he hote hai.
Sid: To muje tumhare best dresses nhi chahiye, Sana ke leye. Ok??
     Saying that Sid left the boutique, leaving everyone in an awkward silence. Sheetal too excused herself. Sana went behind her.
Sana: Excuse me Sheetal.
      Sheetal turned around and looked directly at Sana.
Sheetal: Haa bolo??
Sana: Vaise tumhe bata du ke mera khud ka personal designer hai, Aur mai sirf usse ke design kiye hue kapde pehenti hu. Vaise muje tumhe koi explanation dene ke zarurat nhi hai par mai bhi tumse dress isliye banvaa rahi the kyuki yeh siddharth ke Maa chahti the, aur mai unka dil nhi dukha sakti.
      She turned and was about to leave, but stopped, turned around once again.
Sana: Tumne kaha na ke tum muje nhi jaanti aur tumne mera kaam nhi dekha?? Sheetal mai bhi tumhe nhi jaanti aur maine bhi tumhara kaam nhi dekha.
Sheetal: O ho. To billi panja bhi maarna jaanti hai.
Sana: Billi nahi Sherni.
      Sana left the angry and speechless sheetal and came back to where the others were still there.
Ruhi: Yeh kya tha??
Chachi: Ruhi, chal jaa beta change kar ke aa agar tera fitting sahi hai to. Mai aati hu tere sath chal.
Reet and Ruhi left. Sana leaned to Pari
Sana: By God Pari, yeh to mujse bahot nafrat karti hai.
      And they both started laughing.
Sana: Par muje nhi accha laga mere wajah se dono lad pade.
Pari: Chal jhuti.
Sana: Haaye pagal hai kya?? Mai jhut nhi bol rahi.
      Pari laughed again and Sana joined in. They came back home without lunch as Sid was in a bad mood.
Pari: Sana tu ussi ke car me jaa.
Sana: Accha matlab bali ka bakra muje bana rahe ho. Saara gussa mujpe nikaalega vo.
Pari: Nahi nikaalega. Jaa.
       Sana came and sat in the car. Sid was already there his head resting on the back of the seat, eyes closed. Sana looked at him
Sana: Siddharth...
Sid: Sana please.... Kuch nhi bol abhi tu.
Sana: Thek hai.
       They drove home in silence. Sid went straight to his room without talking to any one.
Ruhi: Maa bhuk lagi. Khaana do muje.
Maa: Tum log to lunch bahar karne wale the na??
Ruhi: Bhai ka unki girlfriend se zagada ho gaya, aur hamare lunch ka program cancel.
Reet: Accha chalo koi nhi. Fir kabhi bahar kha lenge. Sana, Pari tum log bhi chalo khaane bait jaao. Ruhi jaa bhai ko bula la.
Ruhi: Mai?? Mai to bilkul nhi jaa rahi unke kamre me.
Pari: Rehne do mama, vo abhi nhi aayenge.
      Sana removed her mobile and messaged him " Aaja yaar siddharth, lunch karte hai" But he did not come.
      Maa too was worried that he was upset, but no one dared to go to his room. As all finished lunch and dispersed to their room, Sana prepared a plate and walked to his room.
Sid was sitting on the couch. He was very upset. Sheetal has been rude to Sana. She had taken him aside when they had arrived at the boutique and objected him taking Sana with her to the booking office. Why was she so insecure?? Sid had never promised anything to Sheetal. They were good friends, that's it. She was not his girlfriend as everybody were assuming. He had let them believe that, so that Maa and chachi do not go on a mission of hunting a wife for him. He had very clearly told Sheetal he would never marry anyone. He has decided to stay single all his life. And so she had no right to insult the girl who mean so much to him.
      Sana knocked and he opened. Sana stood with a plate in her hand. She was so different. So innocent. He will always protect her. Always be there for her. No matter what. He stood aside and let her in.
Sid: Sana yaar muje bhuk nhi hai. Tu khaana kyu laayi??
Sana: Kya ho gaya hai Siddhart??. Tu itna gussa kyu hua hai??
Sid: Kuch nhi chod.
Sana: Dekh Sheetal ne aisi koi galat baat nhi ke hai, ke tu itna gussa ho gaya. Uske paas sach me time nhi hoga. Shaadi me time he kitna baki hai. Tum dono ko mere vajah se ladna nhi chahiye tha. Muje accha nhi laga.
Sid: Sana koi bhi tere sath yeh aise behave nhi kar sakta. Vo tuje rejected kapdo me se degi, aur mai usse tuje dene dunga.
Sana: Siddharth yaar....
Sid: Aur ek minute tu meri friend ho kar uski side kaise le rahi hai??
Sana: Mai kisi ki side nhi le rahi. Bas muje accha nhi lag raha ke tum dono ke zhagade ka kaaran Mai hu.
Sid: Tu nhi hai. Vo khud hai. Chod jaane de. Kal hum tera dress lene jaa rahe hai. Mere friend ke wife ka boutique hai. Hum vaha se lenge.
Sana: Siddharth muje sach me dress ke zarurat nhi hai
Sid: Sana please ab tu shuru mat ho jaana.
Sana: Ok chal lete hai. Par ek shart pe.
Sid: Kya??
Sana: Tu yeh khaana khaayega.
Sid: Emotional blackmail tum logo ke khandaan me he hai shaayad. Ek vo chachi bhi hai. Kya ro dho kar patati hai chachu ke.
Sana: Ha meri mummy bhi waisi he hai.
      And they both laughed. Sana brought the plate and fed him the first bite. She felt overwhelmed. Sid had defended her. Sheetal was really trying to be rude to her. But she didn't like being the reason behind their fight.
     The next morning Sana and Pari were having breakfast with Maa and Reet. Ruhi was busy on her mobile. Sid walked in with his tote bag in his hand. He looked so dashing. Sana was ogling at her, when he looked in her direction and raised his eyebrows. She looked away turning pink.
Sid: Maa mere leye breakfast lagao, Mai shower leke aata hu.
Sid came after a few minutes. Ruhi was still on the mobile. Sid looked at her.
Sid: Maa, chachi yeh Ruhi itna kisse baat karti rehti hai. Aap log thoda dyaan do uspar. Jab dekho tab mobile me lagi rehti hai. Kal raat me bhi dinner ke time uska dyaan mobile me tha. Maine Kal kuch bola nhi. Par aap baat karo usse.
Maa: Siddharth bacchi hai vo.
Sid: Maa bacchi hai isiliye bol raha hu.
Reet: Didi siddharth sahi bol raha hai. Mai bhi usse vohi bolti rehti hu.
Maa: Mai samjha dungi usko.
Sid: Thek hai. Moti tu ready ho jaa. Tere dress lene jaana hai hame.
Sana: Siddharth yaar muje sach me nhi chahiye.
Maa: Sana ab tu siddharth ke sath nhi gayi to Mai bura maan jaaungi.
Sid: Jaa na yaar. Drame mat dar zyada.
      Sana got up and left to get ready. Pari was smiling a knowing smile at Sid.
Sid: Kya??
Pari: Kuch nhi..
Sid: Shaadi se pehle apne daat tudvane hai??
Pari: Nahi.
     They laughed. Pari was happy because they both were happy
     Sid took her to Trupti's boutique. She was a kind women. She said she has a perfect dress for Sana in mind. And she would love to design it. Sid and Sana left the boutique. The steps outside the building were too smooth and Sana slipped. Sid held her on time. His hands on her waist, preventing her from falling. She had both her hand circled around his neck. They were too close, their bodies touching each other, as their eyes met. She has such a beautiful eyes. Her lips parted slightly and he so wanted to take it with his. He could still feel the taste of that kiss, nine years back. Her fragrance, her soft breath on him. It was miracleous.
Sana: Mai gir jaati siddharth.
Sid: Aur Mai tuje girne deta?? Kabhi nhi.
     Their close proximity was making Sana lose all control. She so wanted him to kiss her. He stroked her soft cheek with his finger tips sending, current through her body. Sound of a car horn brought them back to reality. Sid removed his hand from Sana's waist. She looked away. Sid left her to bring the car. She sat in the car and they drove home in silence. The emotions they two were experiencing were beyond words. Sid had lost control. He would have kissed her, if they would not have been brought to reality by that sound. Sana was annoyed with her and Sid. With her because she still wanted him to kiss her, and with him, because he had been in control as always. Sana got down and was about to walk in the house. Sid came behind her.
Sid: Sana...
Sana: Hmmm.
Sid: I'm sorry.
     Sana came closer to him and stood in front of him, looking directly at him.
Sana: Abhi ke leye ya nau saal pehle ke leye??
     Sid looked at her stunned. He can never answer that. And Sana very well knew it.
