      It's been twenty days since Sana has reached Punjab and had started her work. She has given an interview where she confirmed that she is married to Siddharth Shukla and is very happy. She had a glow on her face, when she admitted that she loved her husband immensely. Sid has seen the interview and had tears in his eyes. He had never told her how much he loves her because he wanted to tell her the truth first. Just saying he loves her will not be enough. He was missing her so much. He couldn't bear to come in the room. It felt barren without her. He would sit on the terrace till late and would come only if he felt he cannot control his sleep. Yes he would also come to the privacy of the room, if he was talking to his love. His Sana. They would talk at length at nights. But he would never show how much he was missing him, knowing she will fall weak if he does. Sid knew Sana was missing him a lot too. He had wanted to go to meet her, but Sid was very  busy at present. He had to complete some projects of his before leaving for Dubai. His dates were still not confirmed as to when he will leave.
    It was one thirty at night both were talking on the video call. They were recalling their time in the hotel room and Sana burst out crying.
Sid: Baby aise mat kar na yaar. Fir muje pura din kuch accha nhi lagta. Abhi do din pehle tune promise kiya tha tu aise udaas nhi hogi.
Sana: Mai kya karu muje teri yaad aati hai to?? Aise lagta hai sab chod ke aa jaau tere paas.
Sid: Tu do din ke leye aa jaa naa. Kaha bahot dur hai tu. Chal iss weekend aa jaa.
Sana: Nahi abhi nhi ho paayega. Mujhe yeh sab wind up karke he aana hai. Sab jaldi jaldi khatam karke. Tu kab aa raha hai??
Sid: Bahot jaldi aaunga baby. Thoda kuch important paper work chal raha hai mera. Yeh Dubai ke project ka aur kuch ad shoots baaki hai. Par mai bahot jaldi apne jaan ke paas aane waala hu. Thek hai??
Sana: Thek hai. Maa se baat hue meri subah. Pari aane waali hai na ghar??
Sid: Haa, kal jaane waale hai Maa aur chachi usse laane.
Sana: Hmmm. Kash mai vaha hoti.
Sid: Hogi bahot jald he hogi. Accha sun mai aaj tere ek pic dekh raha tha.
Sana: Konse??
Sid: Rukh tuje bhejta hu.
    Sid send her the pic, which he had clicked in the hotel room, she lying on the crushed rose petal bed, looking hot, sexy and content.
Sana: Siddharth, tu kitna bura hai. Mere aisi pic apne mobile me rakhi hai.
Sid: Are apne wife ke pic hai. Kisi aur ke thodi hai?? Ab isse ko dekh kar he apna guzaara hota hai.
Sana: Usse delete kar baby.
Sid: Nahi kabhi nhi. Yeh mere leye bahot he special hai. Isse to nhi delete karunga.
     She had giggled and he had got emotional.
      A month has past. Sid got the news that his Dubai trip has been Postponed by a month. He can plan to go to meet Sana in a day or two, he thought. He came late from his shoot. He was very tired and slept. It was two thirty at night and his mobile started ringing. He didn't hear it as he was in deep sleep. It started ringing again. He got up with a start and picked the mobile from the side table. It was Sana. He picked up the call to find Sana crying.
Sid: Sana?? Kya hua?? Tu ro kyu rahi hai??
     He sat upright. Getting scared of hearing her crying at this time of the night.
Sana: Baby tu thek hai?? Tu kaha hai??
Sid: Mai thek hu. Aur ghar me hu. So raha tha. Kya hua hai baby??
Sana: Siddharth maine vo sapna firse dekha. Mujhe bahot dar lag gaya. Tu sach me thek hai na??
Sid: Ha meri jaan mai bilkul thek hu. Tu rona band kar. Are thoda shant ho jaa.
Sana: Iss baar agar tu mujse dur hua na Siddharth to mai khud ko maar daalungi. Ab nhi rehne waali mai tere bagair samjha??
Sid: Sana aise baate nahi karte. Ab koi bhi hame dur nhi kar sakta. Koi nhi. Chal, tu pani pe aur so ne ke koshish kar. Ham kal subah baat karte hai. Aur mai ekdum thek hu aur sirf aur sirf tera hu. Yeh hamesha yaad rakh. Ok??
Sana: Ok.
    Sid saying that he is only hers has lifted Sana's spirit. She lay on the bed trying to sleep. She must have slept at the wee hours of the morning. She got up at eleven freshen up and saw Sid's missed call. He was having his shoot today. She will call her later. She thought. She went down to have breakfast.Mummy seemed very busy.
Mummy: Uth gayi tu. Mai aayi the tuje dekhne. Par tu soo rahi the, isliye tuje uthaaya nhi. Siddharth ka call aaya tha.
Sana: Mummy mujhe uthate na??
Mummy: Siddharth ne mana kiya beta. Bola vo abhi busy ho jaayega. Free hokar call karega.
Sana: Thek hai. Koi aa raha hai kya?? Yeh itni tayaari kyu chal rahi hai??
Mummy:  Are koi nhi. Vo Shehbaaz ka friend aa raha hai. Usne kuch khaas banvaane bola hai. Tera aaj ka kya program hai??
Sana: Aaj to free hu mai. Kal early morning ek shoot hai. Bi jee kaha hai??
Mummy: Bi jee aur dadaji gurudwara gaye hai.
Sana: Accha.
    Sana's papa came carrying bags of sweets.
Sana's papa: Are Sana tu abhi ready nhi hue??
Sana: Ready?? Kyu Shehbaaz ka friend aa raha hai aur mujhe kyu ready hona hai??
Sana's papa; Are tu itne badi singer hai, ghar koi aaye to aise rehna accha lagta hai kya?? Chal jaa ready ho jaa.
Sana: Aap log to aise kar rahe ho jaise koi VIP aane waala hai. Mai apne room me hu. Bas thodi der ke leye milne aaungi.
Mummy : Accha accha thek hai. Bas tu ready ho jaa. Fir chahe panch minute ke leye aa jaana. Hum force nhi karenge.
    And Mummy smiled looking at Papa. They both were acting weird. She went to her room. Got ready, wearing a blue color long frock, tying her hair in a pony and applying minimum make up. Who was this person that her parents were so enthusiastic to welcome. Sid has said he will call. She will wait. She had disturbed him last night. She shouldn't have called him. He was scared for her. She got a call from her manager.
Manager: Sana kal morning ke shoot cancel ho gayi hai. Tu kal bhi free hai.
Sana: Are pehle bolna chahiye tha na yaar. Mai Mumbai ho aati. Kya hai yeh.
Manager: Vo logo ne mujhe bhi abhi bataya.
Sana: Chalo thek hai. Kya kar sakte hai ab.
    Sana disconnected the call. What was she going to do for these two days now. Nothing felt good without his husband nowadays. She loved him so much. How was it possible to love someone to such an extent, she thought. But she does. He had never said he loves her. Why?? Doesn't his actions show how much he loves her?? Then why has he never said it. Give him time Sana. She told herself. He will. Eventually. She was sure of that. She was lost in thought. There was a knock on the door. Shehbaaz entered her room.
Shehbaaz: Sana mere friend se aakar mil le na. Vo tera bahot bada fan hai.
Sana: Kon hai yeh tera friend?? Saare uthavle huye pade hai, usko welcome karne.
Shehbaaz: Bahot khas friend hai. Chal ab mil le usse aakar.
Sana: Aati hu baad me. Tu jaa.
Shehbaaz: Sana do minute ke leye aa jaa. Fir bhale tu apne kamre me he baiti rahe. Usse tujse milna hai.
Sana: Thek hai chal. Dekho kon tees maar khan hai. Subah se sabhi ne ghar sar pe utha rakha hai, jiske khatir.
    Sana followed Shehbaaz to the hall. And there sat Siddharth with her papa, dadajee and bi jee. She stood there looking at him in utter shock. She knew she was dreaming. He couldn't be here. How can he?? They just spoke last night. He was smiling at her lovingly.
Sana: Siddharth.....
Shehbaaz: Sana yeh hai mera friend. Yehi hai tera sab se bada fan.
    She was not able to speak. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. They all started laughing.
Sid: Madam autograph milega??
Shehbaaz: Ha ha Sana de de bichare to autograph. Khas tujse milne aaya hai. Ab tu mil leya bhai isse?? Sana tu jaa sakti hai tere kamre me.
Sid: Dekh Shehbaaz mera aana itna bura laga ke madam roo rahi hai.
Shehbaaz: Chodo na bhai, vaise bhi usse aapse milne kaa koi mood nhi tha, vo abhi chali jaayegi apne room me.
Sid: Ha apne fans se do minute he milna hota hai.
Shehbaaz: Ja ja Sana tu jaa apne room me.
Sana: Shehbaaz tu maar khaayega mera ab
     Sana said between her sobs. Bi jee collected her in her arms and wiped her tears.
Bi jee: Mat pareshaan kar meri bacchi ko Shehbaaz.
     Sana looked and Sid winked at her. She didn't remove her gaze from him feeling he may disappear if she does. Mummy bought tea for him and he drank answering dadajee and papa as they enquired about his parents and family, looking at Sana in between. Sana was just looking at him adoringly. Sid finished his tea.
Sana's papa: Sana beta Siddharth ko apne kamre me le jaa. Fresh ho ke thoda rest kar lena Siddharth beta.
Sid: Jee uncle. Meri bag??
Shehbaaz: Mai le kar chalta hu bhai.
    Shehbaaz carried the bag and walked ahead. Sana walked with Sid. They both looked at each other while they walked to her room They entered Sana's room. Shehbaaz kept Sid's bag and sat on the sofa. Both Sid and Sana stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Shehbaaz: Are bhai baito baito. Gappe lagate hai.
Sid: Ha... Ha
Sana: Shehbaaz Siddharth ko aaraam karna hai.
Shehbaaz: Islye to bol raha hu baito.
Sana: Shehbaaz.....
Shehbaaz: Accha accha jaa raha hu. Pata hai mujhe bhaga rahi hai. Thank you to bol, tere pati ko airport pe receive karne gaya itne subah subah uth kar. Varna mai itne subah kisike leye nhi uthta.
Sana: Pata hai. Pata hai. Jaa ab.
Shehbaaz: Jaa raha hu jaa raha hu. Bhalayi ka to zamana he nhi raha.
    Shehbaaz left the room and Sana closed the door locking it. She turned around and stood leaning to the door, looking shyly at Sid. He rushed forward and picked her up in his arms. Her legs encircled around his waist naturally. She bend her head and he crushed his lips to hers with hunger and want. She kissed back with the same fierceness.
Sid: I missed you so much meri jaan. I missed you so much.
