Good morning 🌻

Sidharth woke up and realized that Sana was hugging him in sleep. Though he didn't wanted to go away. He felt that she would feel awkward when she wakes up and realises that she was hugging him.

He tries to slowly release himself from her grip trying to stir her in her sleep. She lifts her head up and looks at him. He gulps thinking about her reaction.

"Good Morning Sidharth", she says and snuggles more closer to him and hugs him again.

"Huh?", He rubbed his eyes unable to believe what just happened.

Am I dreaming? Or probably she is talking in sleep. She must have mistaken me for him. Wait a minute!! She said Sidharth. Yes, she said Sidharth and she cuddled me being awake. Wohhooo!!!

"Good morning Senorita", he said with a bright smile.

She pulled his hand and wrapped it around herself gesturing him to hug her. He was even more shocked.

What happened overnight that I turned so lucky? When we returned from our date, she wasn't in a cheerful mood. Oh God! Did you hear my wish so soon which I made when I blew the candle on my birthday cake yesterday night? Please keep it going forever.

He held her close to himself soaking in her aroma.

It had been a week for his birthday and he had been happiest ever since. She wasn't acting uncomfortable around him and time and then he would also get cuddles and kisses on his forehead from her. He would treat his eyes by watching her soulful dance in the evening for an hour or more sometimes. They would spend time together for breakfast and meals.

What was more satisfying for him was her smiles which she gave quite often now. They played with Manvi as well and Sidharth was loving every bit of his life. Their comfort level was that of best buddies.

"Sidharth, shall we go?", Sana asked as she wore a bindi on her forehead.

"Hmmm.." he said by moving close to her and cupping her face to give her the kiss on her forehead.

She smiled and looked at him.

"You are looking very beautiful, Senorita", he said.

"Thank you, now we need to move. Else will be late for the doctor's appointment", she said by slowly pushing him from his back.

He smiled and turned back to put his hands around her shoulder as they walked towards their car.

It was an hour journey to the hospital with a beautiful scenic view throughout the journey. While Sana drove the car, Sidharth played the music on the stereo system. He was enjoying her company and the song both.

The doctor examines Sidharth's incision and checks all other vitals.

"Hmmm.. the reports are all good and he is doing fantastic! His incision is also 90% healed. May be another 4-5 days, he will be fully healed. Congratulations Mrs. Rahane, you hardwork has paid off.", The doctor said.

"Thanks doctor", Sana replied with a smile.

"Just make sure you don't skip any medicine dose. I know it's hard to remember to take medication 4 times a day, that too 3 medicines everytime. But forgotten medications can lead to serious problems in transplant patients including acute rejection, chronic transplant damage and ultimately the failure of a transplant.", Doctor states.

"No!! No Doctor, such problems won't arise. I will make sure he doesn't skip any of his medicine for his entire life. I won't allow Sidharth's body to reject Agastya's heart.", She says emotionally with teary eyes.

Sidharth looks at Sana who was unaware of blurting out Agastya's name after getting sentimental.

"I am sorry Mrs. Rahane. I didn't mean to hurt you or your sentiments. I was just being extra cautious.", The doctor apologizes.

"I.. I.. understand", Sana says wiping her tears.

Sidharth presses her shoulder and then pats her back to calm her.

"Don't worry doctor. I might forget taking medication but I really don't have to worry until Sana is there with me.", Sidharth said.

"I am sure. She is doing her duty ardently. The progress in your health is a proof. Stay happy and stress-free Mr. Sidharth. Good for your health and heart!", The doctor wishes them before they leave.

They step out of the cabin and the hospital. Sidharth kept observing Sana whose face still showed agony. The agony combined with fear of losing the most dearest thing in her life.

"Come here", he said pulling her by her wrist and hugging her to himself as soon as they reached the car park.

She dug her face into his chest and found her solace in the warmth of his embrace. He caressed her back continuously for sometime before they broke the hug and occupied the seat in the car.

She drove in silence whereas Sidharth looked outside his window. He was feeling hurt and somewhere dejected.

Her behaviour since past one week made me feel loved. But I forgot that she doesn't love me. She loves the heart in my body which belongs to Agastya. She was so emotional while taking his name that she didn't even realise my presence.

He may not be there in this world but I feel I can never take his place in her life. I envy the heart beating in my rib cage. I feel like taking it out and hiding it away from her eyes. Atleast after that she might love me whole heartedly.

What to do? I can't blame her when my own heart failed me. Only if my heart didn't stop functioning, I wouldn't have needed other's heart.

The journey home was longer as his mind continuously tortured him. Even Sana was quiet herself during the whole journey after the little breakdown she had.

After reaching home, Sana tried helping him to change but he stopped her from doing so.

"I can do it myself Sana. I am doing good and need no more baby sitting.", He said with expressionless face.

She felt his behaviour a little odd but she pushed it to the back of her mind and assumed that probably he was irritated due to long travel.

She gave him his meal and once done she passed him the medicines. He looked at it and all his insecurities returned.

All these days, she had been nicer to me just for the health of his heart. She never returned a reply for my third wish. Probably after 4-5 days she will open up her secret which I am already aware of and send me away from her and Manvi. Why does she have to pretend to love me?

Love me? No Sidharth she is just being cordial. You are a fool, who always considered someone's affection to be love. When you had gained your memory, why did you have to hide it from her? You could have told her there itself. You've landed up in a deep shit once again Sidharth.

What do I do? At that time, I thought it might be a setup from the blackmailer to get the money which he had demanded. He knew I was successfull in arranging money. I was just trying to get a chance to escape.

You had got a chance and you did run away from mansion but returned after experiencing her breakdown in woods. Why did you return? You knew she already loved someone so much that she accepted a stranger to be her husband. How could you even think, you could ever get her to love you so madly? It's your fault Sidharth, it's all your fault.

Yes, it's my fault. I agree.. Now, I will cut off from her before she decides to tell me to go away from here. It's just a matter of 4-5 days.

"Sidharth, what are you thinking? Take the medicine.", Sana said with a smile.

He took the medicine from her hand and popped it into his mouth and swallowed it with water. He then lied down on the bed turning his back to her. She shrugged and went to see Manvi.

In the evening, she went to call Sidharth to sit through her dance practice as usual.

"I'll pass! I want to rest.", He said.

"Huh? Are you feeling well? You've been resting whole day.", She asked surprised while placing her hand on his forehead to check for his temperature but he shovelled her hand away.

"I am fine. Please, I need to rest.", He said in an irritated tone.

"I don't feel so. I'll wait with you. I'll practice later", She said

"Huh! You don't have to practice to fulfill my wish Sana. You are free to do whatever you want.", He said smirking while turning his back again

"Huh? Why will I not fulfill my promise Sidharth? I will practice my dance but I just thought I will sit with you until you feel better.", She said lying down beside him and hugging him from behind.

"What are you doing Sana? I said I need rest. Can you please leave me alone for sometime?", He spoke a bit harsher by pushing her hand away.

"Hmmm.. I am sorry", said Sana feeling mortified by the way he shovelled her away from her. There was no one in the room to witness her insult but she felt as if a whole bunch of virtual crowd was laughing at her and making fun of her. She hung her head down and went to the other room and cried alone for a long time, until she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was dark in the room. She searched for a light switch and turned it on. She checked the time it was 10:30pm.

Oh God! Sidharth's dinner and medicine.

She ran down the stairs and to the kitchen. Manju was cleaning the dish.

"Manju, pass me two plates.", Sana said.

"Hmm.. Here Ma'am but Sir already had his dinner and went to sleep.", Manju said while passing the plates.

"Huh? Okay, I need to wake him up and give him his medicine.", She said hurriedly as she made her way out of the kitchen.

"Ma'am, I already gave him the medicines as well.", Manju spoke quickly.

Sana froze near the kitchen door.

"You gave him? But you aren't aware of which medicines to give.", Sana said shocked.

"Sir instructed me himself and he also said that from now on to remind him daily to take medicine at the said time.", Manju said.

Sana couldn't digest her words. Her heart ached and gut burnt out of jealousy.

"I am still alive. I know I was late today but it won't be happening everyday. So you better concentrate on the work I give you.", She spoke a bit rudely.

Manju nodded as she put her head down. Sana had been always kind to her. She treated her well but today she was a bit harsher.

"What about Manvi?", Sana asked.

"She had her baby food and went to sleep few minutes back. Hence I came to wash the dishes. Actually, I had come to check for you but you were sleeping so didn't disturb you. I am sorry.", Manju said.

Sana realised how harsh she was. She felt guilty.

"I am sorry Manju. Go and get some rest.", Sana said.

"Ma'am, your dinner?", Manju asked.

"It's okay, I ain't hungry. Did you eat?", sked Sana.

"Yes, ma'am", Manju nodded.

"Fine! Go and sleep, I'll do the dishes myself.", Sana said.

Manju looked at her hesitantly on the last statement.

"Don't think too much, I'll do it. Anyways, I already slept a lot so won't feel sleepy for sometime atleast.", Sana said.

Manju nodded and disbursed to her room. Sana was feeling dejected by Sidharth. She spent some time cleaning the dishes and then she realised she hadn't practiced her dance yet.

She went upstairs. She tied her dancing bell anklets, turned on the music and started dancing.
