Sana returns after feeding Manvi. Sidharth requests her to continue the story.

Flashback:

Sana gets ready to go for the dance class. As soon as she steps out of the building she is met with Agastya. She was surprised to see him with a new bike.

"Hi, Good Morning.", She wishes.

"Good morning", he says with a smile.

"Is this your new bike?", She asks

"Ofcourse, it is. I booked it yesterday evening and asked him to deliver early morning today so that I get to share the first ride with you.", He said.

She blushed as she was getting so much attention from him.

"Can I ride?", She asked.

"Ofcourse, you can. Will you be able to ride this? You said your's was a scooty but this is a bike.", He asked.

"My brother has a same bike so I've the experience of riding this as well.", She said.

"All yours", he said giving the keys to her. He gave her the extra helmet which he carried along for her. She put on the helmet and fastened the straps. She tied her stole to the side and placed her leg on both the side of the bike. She then started the bike.

"Get on!", She said to him and he happily became the pillion rider. He held the little railing behind his back for support.

"You can place your hands on my shoulders", she said. He nodded and placed his hands over her shoulders. The next moment they were riding on the road.

The whole way he kept gazing at her through the mirror. He was surprised when she pulled over the bike infront of the temple.

"You ride like a pro. Only thing is that I didn't feel like a pillion rider cause of your height. I felt as if I was riding it myself.", He laughed while she made a pouty face.

"But weren't you busy looking at the mirror than the road?", She asked. He was surprised to hear that she knew he was gawking at her.

"Just a minute", she said and ran to the stall who sold devotional items. She shopped for some things. He kept observing her. She held his hands and took him inside the temple. She said a little prayer by closing her eyes and folding her hands to the Goddess.

"Panditji, could you please do the pooja of his new bike", she requested the priest in the temple by handing over the keys to him.

"Sure, his name?", The priest asked.

"Aaa...", She looked at him since she didn't know his name.

"Agastya.. Agastya Rao", he said.

"And your's?", The priest asked.

"Sana", she answered being perplexed.

"Hmm.. It's so overwhelming to find that youngster's like you still follow the traditions and do not take their husband's name.", The priest said.

Agastya and Sana looked at each other. She felt shy while he passed a subtle smile but both didn't bother to correct the priest.

The priest went inside the sanctum sanctorum and offered prayers to the Goddess reciting matras with their names connected as husband and wife. All they heard was him saying 'Agastya Rao' and 'Sana Rao'. Both blushed as they folded their hands and asked the Goddess to bless the other with long life, health and success.

The priest then went outside where the bike was parked and performed a little worship. Sana broke the coconut infront of the bike and placed a garland around it's numberplate. Agastya gave some honorarium to the priest for performing the pooja and folded his hands to take his blessings.

"May God bless you with success and may you prosper in life", the priest blessed.

She too folded her hand to take his blessings.

"Sada suhaagan raho. Doodho nahao, putto phalo.", The priest blessed her with a long married life along with a happy family and went inside.

She put her head down and bit her lips feeling very very shy while Agastya felt extremely elated.

"Thank you for the pooja", he said.

"It's very important to take blessings of the God and thank him for what he gave us. I hope you didn't feel that I intruded into your space.", She said.

"Never, infact I felt happy because you completed the work which I had forgotten in hurry.", He said.

"Okay wait a second.", She tied the red piece of cloth offered to goddess around the bike for goodluck.

"Thanks", he said. She nods with a smile.

"I'll be the pillion rider now. Let's go!", She said fastening the strap of her helmet.

He started the bike and they were on the way to their destination. He stopped the bike at the Trinity Towers and she got down.

"Do you work here?", She asked.

"Yes", he replied.

"I come here for...", She said

"Bharatanatyam Dance Classes." He spoke even before she completed her sentence. She was shocked.

"How do you know?", She questioned

"I can see you practicing from my office window. It's mesmerising to see you perform. You clearly stand out among all your peers.", He said.

"Thank you. Your praises are making me turn pink.", said Sana.

He smiled looking at her. She was indeed reddened after his praises.

"Beautiful", he said unknowingly. She bit her lips and waved her hands unable to say anything out of embarrassment.

She ran up to her floor and occupied her regular dancing spot. She looked outside the window running her eye towards all the windows of the opposite building. She didn't know which one was his. The trainer arrives and she pays obeisance in a traditional form. The teacher nods and gives some instructions. Sana slowly looks again out of the window from the corner of her eyes and this time she saw him standing at the big window sipping coffee and watching her. Her heart fluttered and she couldn't stop blushing.

The trainer recited the notes but she missed her steps. The trainer corrected her twice. After a few minutes, Sana looks at him again and does a mistake. This time the trainer warns her. She gets nervous as she gets a warning. She excuses herself to go and drink water. She knew she wouldn't be able to give her best if he is looking at her. She goes back and requests another girl to exchange the spot.

Agastya on the other hand searches for her as soon as he losses sight of her. He goes through the other windows in the office to see if he can find her. All his attempts to see her, failed. He looks at the clock and as soon as it striked her sign-off time. He rushes down the entrance of her building.

She was walking with her peer. He lowers his head for being so desperate. She looks at him and excuses her peer to talk to him. Her peer says bye to her and leaves.

"What happened Sana, where did you go since I saw someone else in your spot after few minutes? Aren't you feeling well?", He asked extremely concerned.

"No, I am fine. I changed the spot with one of my friend since I was doing lots of mistake", She said.

"Oh!! I am sorry. I think I made you uncomfortable. I will keep my windows closed from now on.", He said feeling dejected.

"No!! It's not like that!", She couldn't explain herself as she didn't knew how to express her feelings.

"I have been observing you from over a week but today since I told you, I made you feel conscious. I restlessly and anxiously wait for the whole day to see you after you leave the dance class. If I have an option then I wouldn't even want to take my eyes off from you even for a second. I want to confess that I love you Sana. I want to spend my life with you.", He poured his heart out.

She hung her head down feeling extremely shy. Words simply won't come out of her lips. She stood in silence and that made him think that probably she didn't feel the same for him. He cursed himself and his fate for the unrequited love.

"Sorry!", He said in a low tone and turned around to leave.

"Agastya, I love you too..", she confessed unable to bear the painful thought of him leaving her due to mere confusion.

His face glowed listening to her words. He turned at once and held her hands in his. She shyly looked around feeling as if the whole world was witnessing their confession.

"There's no one", he said with a smile and she giggled.

"Don't you have any work at office? How can you afford to gawk at me everyday and now come outside without getting bashed from your boss?", She asked.

"No, my boss won't bash me because I am the boss here. It's my firm - Rao Enterprises", he said.

"Huh? Boss? But you travelled by bus with me everyday.", She said feeling surprised.

"The first day we met, my car broke on the way and since I had an urgent commitment and couldn't find any mode of transport, I asked you for the bus and travelled to office. The same day I saw you again from my cabin and I fell head over heels looking at you performing. That's when I decided to stalk you. I got down from my car near the bus stop everyday just to see you and travel with you.", He said giving her a greater surprise.

"And you bought the bike for me?", She asked.

"Hmmm..", he nods with a pout.

"How can you love me so much?", She asked.

"I don't know..", he said.

"Then what do you know?", She asked.

"I just know that my heart belongs to you.", he said with a smile and hugged her. That was her first time she heard his heart beat and it made her fall more deeper in love with him.

Flashback ends.

Sana rested her head gently on Sidharth's chest while he hugged her with his one hand. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She hadn't slept so peacefully ever since Agastya had left her.

To be continued.. ❤️❤️

Please don't feel disheartened as the parts show Agastya's and Sana's love story. I know we are possessive about SidNaaz and look at it that even Agastya's character is played by Sidharth only. Agastya's story is important because it is a base and serves as an essence to the topic "Connected by Heart". Agastya is as important and postive character as Sidharth here hence I named it as Agastya and not any other unrelated or imaginary name. If Sana didn't love Agastya so much she wouldn't have stayed with Sidharth after the heart transplant.
