A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 90

Sonakshi was quiet all the way home.

Rohit tried teasing her, cracking some lame jokes, but for once, she didn't respond.

She went straight to their room and into the bathroom, before Rohit could reach.

She came out wearing her t-shirt and pajamas, the t-shirt warning him 'DON'T MESS WITH ME!'

'Sona! Tum..'

'Please Rohit! Kya hum baad mein baat kar sakte hain?'

There was something in her tone, which he wasn't liking, but he didn't want to push her.

'Okay, okay. Relax! Tum rest karo..mujhe Papa se kuch baat karni hai, mein aata hun..'

Shutting the door of the room, he left.

Sonakshi let out a breath she didn't even realise she had been holding.

Rohit and her, they had been so happy and relaxed today.

Till that meeting...

                  ******

'Hello, Sonakshi.'

All colour drained from Sonakshi's face.

Rohit looked from the man, to Sonakshi.

'You know Sonakshi?'

'Yes! We worked together in our training times.'

Rohit turned to Sonakshi.
She looked like she had seen a ghost.

'Sonakshi! You okay?' Rohit looked at her in concern.

If she hadn't been sitting, her knees might have buckled.

'Shan..Shan Ahuja..' she spoke finally.

Juhi, who had been watching the exchange, now spoke up.

'Dr. Shan Ahuja!'

'Yes.' She said.

A light went on in Rohit's head.

He glanced at Sonakshi, only to see her trying to control her emotions.

Rohit turned back to give Shan a piece of his mind.

'You..'

'Rohit! Isn't that awesome? Another thing common between us.' Juhi was sounding so enthusiastic.

Shan was watching Sonakshi intently and Rohit noticed.

He moved closer to the man, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a couple of girls making videos or taking pictures of him.

This is not the right place to do this.

'Come on Juhi! We have to go..'
The other man had sensed something in Rohit's manner.

'But Bhai!'

'Let's go..bye Sonakshi! Bye Rohit! Nice meeting you.'

He literally dragged his sister away, while she kept looking back at Rohit.

Rohit had turned back to Sonakshi.

She had gotten up now. Her eyes seemed empty, where thay had been so full of life earlier.

'Rohit, chalen?'

'Sona! Tum theek ho?'
He touched her arm.

'Let's go, please!'

Rohit had hurried after her as she began walking.

He had tried to talk to her, but she had not answered back.
