Sana slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them.
She looked around in another unfamiliar room and sighed.
She said- Manan where are you? I'm so tired I want a Te- aaaaaahh!
Sid- AAAAAH!
Sana- Why are you screaming?
Sid- Because you were screaming and you scared me!
Sana- Why are you here?
Sid crossed his arms and said- Because this is my house.
Sana's eyes widened in realisation and she quickly got up and was about to leave when he held her hand and made her sit back.
Sana- What?
Sid- Have some tea before you go, it's getting colder here.
Sana looked at him with her eyes dark in anger and said- Don't act you care Sid.
Sid's eyes showed a flicker of a weird emotion which Sana couldn't understand.
Sid- It's for my arc-
Sana- Whatever.
Sana took the cup and as she tried to drink the hot steaming tea in a shot she burnt her tongue and Sid ran towards her and shouted- Are you crazy or what?
Sana- Sjsjsk!
Sid looked at her with her arms crossed and her red tongue out and trying to speak.
He bit his lip to stop his laughter and made her drink some cold water so that it burns a little less.
Sana- Inmmnsksksks
Sid- No you can't go! Wait for some time, I'll get you some medicines for your tongue.
Sana sighed and looked out of the balcony watching the sun set slowly.
Sid hadn't come so she decided to explore his house a little. She got to know from some of the investors that Sid lives 6 months here helping the people here.
She looks around when her hand hits on a drawer and some stuff falls down. Her eyes widens as she quickly picks it up and keeps it back.
She hears the door creak as she stood in the balcony.
Sid slowly says- Take the water and the medicine.
Sana without a word takes it and murmurs a little thanks and opens her phone texting Manan.
Sid sees this and anger, jealousy fills in him as he grabs her wrist and looks at her with extreme anger.
Sana looks at him with a blank face and puts one eyebrow up in questioning.
Sid- I- Aah- nothing.
Sana- Thought so. Sid, you really need to STOP TOUCHING ME! I don't like it. I don't like you-
Sid pulls her by her wrist as her faces are now inches apart.
Sid- You don't like me touching you at all?
Sana- No, I would never fall in love with a man like you.
Sid's eyes flashed so much hurt that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Sana slowly removed herself from his hold and said - I hope to see you never, after this project Ofcourse.
With this Sana left leaving sid look out with his eyes red.
After half an hour Sid's phone rang, he picked up and it was Manan.
Manan- where's sana?
Sid- What do you mean?
Manan- SHE ISNT PICKING UP HER PHONE AND I CANT TRACK HER CAR! Tell me she's with you.
Panic sets in Sid's heart as he says- ILL LOOK FOR HER!
He cuts the phone and runs out just when one of the locals said- There's an accident of a young woman in the car, please help.
Sid's heart sank, he couldn't breathe anymore. He couldn't move for a minute.
He shook his head and with all his might he drove the car as fast as he could while he was crying continuesly. His grip on the wheel was very tight as he was remembering the moment I hope to see you never.
He banged the wheel in anger and said- Damn it!!!!!!
He reached the location and saw her car. He ran out and saw Sana standing near the car.
Without a thought he grabbed her and with tears he said- Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay? I heard you got into an accident??
Show me your wounds!
Sana looked at him and said- WHY DO YOU CARE?
Sid screamed- BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!
Sana looked at him shocked and slowly whispered- You said what?
As tears fell from her eyes hearing those words sid was still in the zone and he again screamed- I LOVE YOU SANA!!!!
Sid- Where are you hur-
Thump.
Sid touched his cheek as Sana had slapped him hard.
Sana- Why did you have to play with my feelings huh?
Sid paused and saw that she wasn't even hurt anywhere.
Sid- WHATS happening?
Sana looked at him angrily and said- Why Sid? Why the pain all this time??!
Why did you make me believe what I was never worth it and you never liked me when you clearly LOVED ME!
If I didn't see the drawer where you had each and every picture of us, our bracelets, my handmade cards, our first movie ticket, everything I would have never thought.
Why did you have to do this to me??
Sana banged her hands on his chest and scream cried- Why Sid? Why ?? I always lo-loved you. And you pushed me away?? Why? WHY???
Sid shouted- BECAUSE I WAS SCARED OKAY? I hated the fact that you would take the blow for me.
As a child I was a victim of violence and abuse by my father, he used to hit me but my mother used to take the blow. I could never forget those times when she would come infront of me and take all the blows.
Just like you did for the first time and all the times. I hated to see you hurt, I hated that your first response was to protect me and not to be protected by me. I hated that the day when I left you alone in the rain you took the beating for me just like my mom!
I loved you sana from the moment I saw you- but I couldn't because I was scared. I am a coward, I can't love you.
I still remember the first time I saw you was at the swings when you were happily swinging with your pink shoes in the air. The giggles made me smile until the boys came in.
And when I saw you infront of me my heart hurt because the wound on your face reminded me of my mother. But I couldn't leave you, I always acted as if I didn't care about you but I noticed every bit of you. From your habit your scrunching your nose when you don't get something to you rolling your eyes. From your favourite body wash to your favourite food. Everything. I could never say how much I liked you because I felt that problems would follow you if you are with me.
There wasn't a moment when I never thought about you sana. But I didn't wanted you to fall in love with a man who couldn't protect his own mother. I promise I always thought about you, I never touched riya in that way. It was a way to make you leave me, the hickey you saw the night I came to the Supermarket- it wasn't a hickey! I actually hit the man who tried to choke you a day before, you never knew I always followed you after your work. ( Sana realises how he would always feel sleepy in the morning)
I loved the real you, and I hated each and every wound on you. Even the wound of the heels that give you- even now. The way your legs were swollen up. You were might to be free sana, not to be stuck with me. A man with childhood trauma.
The slippers were never for Riya, the food was never extra. I wanted to do more for you, but I felt like I never deserved you. Whenevr you used to give me your toothy smile My heart would hurt because I felt like you deserve much more. I tried to hide it even now, because I never wanted you to be hurt. And leaving you was the best option because I couldn't help falling in love-
Sid's words were silenced by Sana's lips on him.
She grabbed his face and pulled in her lips more into him letting him know that she loves him.
She parted for a moment and said- Sid I never wanted anyone to protect me, just someone to love me. I wanted to be next to you, not behind you. I wanted to be loved and loved. Why did you have to push me away? When you loved me so much?
Sid looks at her with tears falling down and said- Because I'm not capable-
Sana- Yeah a man who used to take care of me is not capable.
Sana pulled his collar and said- I want you to aid me doctor, not to protect me. You can never leave this patient of yours doctor and that's an order.
Sana placed a kiss on his mouth as he smiled and thought of the days when he would hurt his hand trying to learn the ways to band aid someone correctly on YouTube. The days when he used to burn his hands trying to make her favourite dish to the days when he used to stay up all night as she would do her work.
Sid- Wait! If you're not hurt then-?
Sana- Manan planned it all, he said you would definetly come.
Sid looked at sana in suprise and said- But didn't he like you-?
Sana laughed and said- No! He was always my bestfriend, he suggested the fake dating thing too.
Sid smiled and then pulled her in even more and said- I want to spend my whole life with you. I hate the years I was not next to you.
But Sana there would be days, when I would not be even sure of myself would you still stay?
Sana cupped his cheeks and said- Even on the days you would not feel to love me, my love would be enough to pass the day Sid!
Sid kissed her forehead softly and smiled.
The sun slowly set while the wind danced watching the two standing on the mountain smiling at each other. It's very likely said every lovers meet again , maybe in this lifetime or in the other.. but they do meet.
Manan stood at the end watching the two figures and smiled softly.
He watched the two little kids he saw in the park , the time sana protected Sid from MANAN's punch and took it.
The couple DOESNT know that he was the one with the boys who was kind of responsible for their love.
From that day he used to watch them run around laughing, to stealing mangoes to the teenager them watching movies and going for rides to the college ones.
Manan was just like us, a viewer of the story but he did play a huge part.
Manan smiled and thought- I knew this wasn't an unrequited love.
He clicked on the song and played it-
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
As the song played Sana kept her head on his shoulders and watched the dark clouds rumbling knowing it would rain soon.
Sid looked at sana with his eyes full and said- I love you!
Sana- I love you too.
Manan scrunched his nose as he felt the droplets on him and he was about to leave when he heard a voice- Excuse me? It's raining could you please help me?
Manan turned as the song continued-
Please don't take my sunshine away..ð§ð»ââï¸
