"Sidharth, Let me give Manvi to Manju now and get you ready to go home tomorrow.", I said.

He nodded with smile. I took Manvi from his hand after he planted a soft kiss on her temple. I must admit that I was worried as I thought he doesn't like kids when I initially introduced Manvi to him. His expressions were so different. But he likes Manvi. Credit goes to Manvi, cause she is the cutest baby.

I handed over Manvi to Manju who was sitting outside. Gave her some instructions and went outside to do some shopping to get him ready. When I returned I found him scrolling through my phone which I had left in the room. Puff.. I had taken a backup of my Agastya's picture and deleted them from my phone.

What is he doing with my phone by the way?

"Sidharth, what happened? What were you looking at?", I asked.

"I was googling some data about Amnesia. Then I tried logging onto my social media accounts but I think I've changed the passwords and couldn't login into any of my accounts. Do I have a phone as well Sana?", He asked. Oh hell! I had almost forgotten about his social media accounts.

"Hmmm.. your phone got lost in the accident. Will get you a new phone soon.", I said. Will have to buy him a new sim card. Thank God he doesn't remember his old phone number.

"Okay", he nodded.

"By the way, it's time for your sponge bath. Before that, will give you a nice shave.", I said.

"Can I do it myself? Please.", He asked.

"No! Did you see that your arms are swollen? You shouldn't stress them. I will do it.", I said sternly and he nodded obeying to my orders.

Author's point of view:

Sidharth was lost in his thoughts while she opened the bag and took out all the necessary items to shave which she had just shopped. She tied a beard apron around him. She then applied the shaving cream on the brush. The moment the cream touches his face, his trance was broken. He looked at her who was busy applying the cream all over his beard.

He kept staring at her as she started to shave using the razor. Her hands froze and she shivered as she saw a little blood spot on his cheek.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. Sorry!", She chanted non-stop. He understood that there might be a cut hence she was panicking.

"It's okay! Chill! I didn't even realise that I got a cut", He said to calm her down.

She took a tissue and wiped off the shaving cream from the bleeding area. He looked at her picking up a little gauge and the antiseptic lotion bottle.

"No, no, no.. please, that will burn. Please!", He pleaded.

"What? You didn't even know when you got a cut but now you are crying for antiseptic lotion?", She spoke surprised.

"Because it hurts.", He said.

"No, it won't. Now keep quiet and let me apply it.", She said sternly.

He closed his eyes tightly and forwarded his cheek to her. She stared at him for few seconds. He opened his one eye to check if she was done. She was dipping the cotton gauge into the lotion and the moment she looked at him, he shut his eyes tightly. She passed a subtle smile before dabbing the cotton ball over the little wound.

"Aaaahhh..", he shrieked

"Ooops, sorry sorry, it's done!", She said and blew air over it. He opened his eyes and gazed at her face. She looked at him and felt awkward as she found him staring at herself. She cleared her throat to bring him back from his trance however it didn't work.

"Sidharth, I will resume the shaving.", She said. He looked at her and lowered his eyes while nodding. She continues the shaving and he tried unsuccessfully controlling his eyes from looking at her.

"Sana, what happened next?", He asked.

"Huh? When?", She asked.

"After our first meeting?", He asked.

"Oh.. Okay.. The next day....", She continued

Flashback:

Sana went to the bus stop and found Agastya already standing there. He was looking into all the directions until he found her coming from the left side. He kept looking at her as she approached closer and stood beside him. She glared at him and gave an unamused expression before looking away from him. He chuckled.

The bus arrived and she got into it while he followed her. She sat on the vacant ladies seat while there were no other vacant seat so he chose to stand near her and gawk at her hopelessly. She noticed him and looked elsewhere avoiding him. They both got down and he spent rest of the time observing her dance through his cabin window until she left.

The following day and the day after that, the same routine continued. On Friday, he looked into his watch as he waited for her. The bus arrived but she didn't come. He waited longer with no luck. He reached the office and looked through the window to see if she was there but she wasn't there. The next day was a weekend and though it was his day off at office, he still went to the bus stop hoping to see her but she didn't come.

He anxiously pushed through Sunday and on Monday, he reached the bus stop much before the time. The bus arrives but she didn't, he got onto the bus with a depressed face and looked into the direction once more as the bus started to move. His face brightened to find her running towards the bus.

"Hey, stop stop!! That lady wants to catch the bus", He screamed to the conductor.

"She can catch the next bus, we can't wait.", The conductor said.

"What the hell? It's just a matter of 2 minutes.", He said annoyed.

"Hey Mister, if you are so bothered about her then either ask her to come early or offer her a ride in your car.", The conductor spoke equally annoyed.

"If bus travellers had cars then they will never use your junkyard bus.", He said angrily.

The conductor whistles bringing the bus to halt.

"Get down from the bus now!", The conductor shouted.

"I will teach you a lesson.", Agastya said as he got down.

He ran back to the bus stop but before he could reach, he saw Sana getting into the auto rickshaw. He took another rickshaw and reached office and spent his time standing near the window watching her until she left.

The next day, when he went to the bus stop, she was already standing there. He went near her.

"Hey, where were you on Friday and Saturday?", Agastya asked.

"Huh? Why? Are you stalking me?", Sana asked confused.

"Hmm.. If I say yes, then?", He asked.

"Did you forget? I am not a Miss World or any celebrity to stalk." She said reminding him his exact words which he spoke one week before.

He smiled.

"You are much more than any of them.", He said.

It was the first time that she saw him smiling and his smile was magical. Sana didn't know how to react on that compliment, she looked towards the other direction from where the bus arrived. While Sana was getting into the bus, the conductor smirked looking at Agastya.

"Oh, you are back? By the way you argued yesterday, I thought you will really get a car for this lady from today.", the conductor said sarcastically.

Sana who was on the footboard of the bus stopped and looked at Agastya perplexed. Agastya gritted his jaws and looked elsewhere but didn't board the bus.

"Status is of travelling in public transport but the attitude is that of owning a BMW. Yet she ditched you for the bus. Don't you ever board this bus again.", The conductor warned and laughed.

Sana glared at the conductor and got down from the bus. Agastya looked at her in surprise as she walked back to him. The conductor whistled with a frown to leave. Agastya showed him his middle finger with a smirk.

"What was that?", Sana asked raising her eyebrows.

"Aaa.. I am sorry!", He said.

"No. He deserved the sign but I was asking you the story behind it.", Sana said

"Oh! I had an argument with him yesterday, since he denied to stop the bus for you yesterday. He threw me out of the bus.", He said.

"You got down the bus yesterday for me?", She asked to which he nodded. She shook her head in disbelief.

"Shall we share an auto?" She asked.

"Sure, let's do it!", He said with a smile.

She stopped an auto and they boarded the auto.

"From tomorrow onwards, I will have to start early to catch the earlier bus because taking auto will be heavier on my pocket.", she said.

"Me too.", He said.

"Hmmm..", She said looking outside.

He wanted to talk to her but she cut the conversation with short answer.

Come on Agastya, she is leaving. Whole weak you had been yearning to talk to her and when you got the chance, you wasted the time. May be she is too shy, why can't you start the conversation.

The auto came to halt at their destination. She paid her share and he paid his. The auto left and they stood there in silence for few seconds.

"Bye!", Said Sana and turned to leave.

"Aaa.. What time does the earlier bus before arrives?", He asked

"30 minutes before", she turned around and answered.

"My name..", he said however the conversation was cut by her in between.

"I am sorry, but I need to go. I am running late.", She said. He nodded his head feeling disappointed. She took few steps only to turn around.

"See you tomorrow", she said bringing a smile on his face. Her lips formed a curve as well before she waved her hands at him and rushed into the building.

Flashback ends.

Sidharth was lost in his thoughts while she turned around to wiped the tears accumulated at the corner of her eyes. She picked up the little towel on the chair before turning around to face him.

"Done", said Sana wiping his face with a cloth. She ran her soft hands on his face to check if she has left any beard unshaved, while he closed his eyes to feel her touch. "What do you think?", She asked him.

He touched his face and made a gesture with his hand to say superb.

"Thank you!", He said.

"Time for sponge bath", she said.

"Can I do it myself?" He said gulping.

"It's sponge bath not a regular bath, atleast until next 4 weeks. So stop this 'Can I do it myself?' chanting everytime I want to do something for you. I told you to consider me as yet another nurse doing her duty.", She said strictly.

He nods getting scared of her wrath. She opens the knot of his gown but before she slid it down, he holds her by her wrist.

"Can I tie a towel atleast around my waist before you disrobe me? I would have asked the same to the nurse as well", He said.

She nods and turns around to allow him to tie a towel. Once done she dips the sponge in warm water, squeezes it and wipes his body to clean up. He sat quietly allowing her to do so though he felt awkward.
