Sidharth stirred in his sleep and realised Sana's absence. Though he was ignoring her but he was equally worried for her. He wanted to make sure she was fine. He went around to search for her in the whole mansion and found her practicing dance in her room. It was 1 a.m. She looked extremely fatigued yet she wouldn't stop.

He went in and silently stood observing her. She stopped dancing when she realised his presence. She payed the obeisance to the Nataraj statue. She then turned off the music and started to undo the anklets. He was still staring at her.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?", He asked.

"I had missed to practice today since I dozed off in the evening. I had to keep my promise to you so I was just practicing.", She said.

"I told you, there is no need to keep your promise. It's not that important.", He spoke annoyed.

"It is important for me. I keep my promises.", She said equally annoyed.

"Really? Should I remind you of the 3rd wish?", He said sarcastically.

"There is no need to remind me. I remember it very well. I told you, we will discuss it once you are healed.", She said

"Really? What's there to discuss in it? If you wanted to marry me, then you would have done it anytime. I am not asking for a grand wedding, I just asked for a sweet memory. Why do you have to find reasons to procrastinate?", He asked.

"I am not procrastinating Sidharth. Why don't you understand? I will fulfill your 3rd wish", she said in despair.

"I am setting you free from your promises Sana. Please don't bother to take trouble. You've already done enough for me. I don't think I can ever return it back to you.", He said.

Sana looked at him perplexed unable to understand the reason behind his changed behaviour. For her he wasn't aware that he wasn't her husband then why would he behave like this. Why was he avoiding her like a stranger when they were husband and wife as per his knowledge.

Her mind didn't even had an ounce of idea that probably he knew everything and that his memory might have returned.

Sidharth left the room and went to his room and slept after a lot of struggle. Whereas she soaked herself in a tub of warm water as her body was sweating and tired at the same time. She rested her head back on the edge of the tub and closed her eyes.

She was now reminiscing all the events involving her and Sidharth in it. Right from the time he gained consciousness on the hospital bed up until the conversation which took place few minutes back.

She wiped herself, wrapped a gown and went down to the room downstairs. She opened the wardrobe lost in her thoughts. She realised that she had opened Sidharth's wardrobe by mistake. She pushed the door to close it but stopped midway from doing so. She opened it again and pulled out his shirt inhaling the aroma on his clothes. She looked back at his sleeping figure on the bed. The next moment without giving any second thought, she dropped her gown and wore his baggy shirt.

She then went and slept on the bed beside him. She gazed at his face which was visible in the dim light of the night lamp. She wanted to speak to him and tell him so much at that moment.

She got down from the bed and went upstairs as she found a way to vent out her thoughts which she wanted to say to him. She turned on the voice recorder on the phone and started speaking as if she was talking to him.

"Dear Sidharth,

I don't know why you are behaving so odd today but I realised lots of thing since the time we met the doctor. The mere thought of losing you sent a shiver down my spine. The same kind of pain relapsed which I experienced when I held Agastya for the last time in my hand before his organs were taken out to be transplanted into different people's body.

The way you hugged me in the car park, I found myself healing. Healing from the pain which I had just went through in the doctor's cabin. The whole way that I drove back home, my thoughts were only occupied with you in it. I wanted to keep this feeling forever.

I felt your behaviour odd but I let go the thought thinking you were tired. I felt hurt went you pushed me away from you. Probably, I might have not felt it earlier but I didn't hope it to happen today. I felt hurt and jealous of Manju when she said she gave you the dinner and medicine and that you asked her to take over my rights of giving you the medicines.

Though your words hurt me today but it was not more than your silent dejection or the distance between us. I reminisced the memories with you soaking in the warm water and realised I can't do without you. We've both lost love of our life once but you don't remember anything.

Why should I leave you when are happy in your present with me? Why should I push you into pain which you would go through when you leave me and Manvi? Why should I take away your sweet memories you made with us for the sake of your past which you don't even remember? Can I just let it happen whenever it happens and go with the flow? Can I just be with you until your old memory returns? What if I turn lucky and you don't remember your past forgotten memory at all?

But the biggest question above all was why was I feeling all this emotions for you as of sudden. When I came down and wore your shirt and looked at your face, I got my answer.

I am in love with you Sidharth. I realised that the dream which I saw on your birthday night had a reason. Agastya had asked me to not stop myself from falling in love again. I did away with the awkwardness and put efforts to keep you happy since then but as I spent this genuine time with you, I fell in love with you.

I love you Sidharth. I love you so madly that I once again choose to be selfish to hide the fact that we weren't married. I will marry you soon because that third wish is now not just yours, it's mine as well and I am hell bent on fulfilling it. For you, for me and for our Manvi. Together we are a happy family!"

She stopped the recorder and smiled. She wanted to run back to him and hug him again after the confession. She listened to her heart and ran back downstairs and got onto the bed. She snuggled into the blanket that he was covering and hugged him. He unknowingly hugged her in his sleep and she smiled. She soon fell asleep in his arm.

It was early morning when she woke up. She gazed at his sleeping face which was closer to hers. She ran her hand in his hair sensuously and leaned closer to kiss his lips. As her warm breath touched his skin, he opened his eyes and turned his face away immediately because he thought that she didn't carry any real emotions behind it.

She felt a sharp dagger being pierced into her heart due to his behaviour. She turned her back to him fighting back her tears and after sometime walked towards her wardrobe and took out clothes for her from it. He observed her going out of the room and noticed that she was wearing his shirt which covered her top until her thighs and exposed the remaining part of her milky legs. He turned his face away.

He picked up his phone to check the time and when he unlocked it, he realised that it was her phone. The screen was that of saved voice recording. The date against the recent recording was today's and time was 3:14 am. He grew inquisitive so he pressed a play button and heard the audio which was addressed to him. When he heard the words 'I love you Sidharth' he literally jumped in his bed. He experienced the amount of happiness which he had never ever experienced in his whole life.

On the other hand, he felt ashamed of his behaviour towards her since yesterday, especially the way he behaved few minutes back. He got down from the bed and went upstairs. The door was locked and he banged it loudly calling her name and asking her to open it. The intensity in which he was calling her, made Sana panic. She immediately opened the door.

"What happened Sidharth, are you alright?", She asked in a petrified tone observing him from top to toe.

He looked at her. Her eyes were red and she hadn't even changed her dress. He understood that she was crying alone in the room.

"Sidharth.. Are you alright?", She asked again.

He didn't know how to approach or confess his love to her.

"Hmm.. I am fine.. I.. I.. I am sorry for my behaviour.", He fumbled while stepping backwards fearing to confess his feelings.

"It's.. It's fine.", She said looking at him. He looked down nervously and his eyes fell on her silky smooth legs causing him feel more nervousness and embarrassed.

"Sorry.. sorry..", he said nervously taking yet another step backwards until his back hit the frame of stairs and he stumbles a little before he gripped the frame to control himself from falling down the stairs.

"Sidhaaarth..", Sana screamed and ran to him. She pulled him with all her force to herself and hugged him tightly as if she was hugging her life.

Flashes of Agastya falling from stairs appeared infront of Sidharth's eyes and he shivered at the thought of it. Sana was crying in his embrace holding him as tightly as possible to herself. She was petrified and he knew it.

"Sana, sweetheart, I am fine. Your Sidharth is fine darling.", He said in a soft and loving tone while caressing her back.

"I survived the worst accident last time, I won't survive this time. I have no strength to go through the hell yet again. I need you Sidharth.", She said sulking in his embrace.

He pulled out of the hug and wiped her tears before surprising her with an unannounced intense lip locked kiss. It was his first ever kiss and he was totally lost in devouring it. Sana gave into the kiss after few seconds of being surprised.

"I love you Senorita", he said panting after breaking his first ever kiss.

Not aware that he has already heard her confession via recording, she replies to him.

"I love you too Sidharth"

Even though he had heard those words just few minutes back on the phone recording, the excitement was not anywhere less than hearing it for the first time. He kissed her yet again even more passionately.

As she was soaked in the kiss, Sana felt herself complete yet again by having Sidharth in her life. Deep down inside, she wished Sidharth never gains back his memory so that they stay like this forever. She had lost a lot in life and she knew Sidharth's life was no better than her's. But she feared losing him if he learns the truth.

They heard Manvi crying in the background and halt their kissing spree. They both gasp for breath while looking into each other's eyes. Sana had a blush on her face which was not less than a feast to his eyes.

She takes a step ahead towards the stairs when Sidharth holds her wrist and pulls her back.

"Manvi is crying.", Sana said shyly.

"I know. You stay here and I will take care of her. Have you seen your clothes? You are looking too sexy to go downstairs like this. Manju would be there.", He said.

"Hmm..", she said looking at him.

"Don't worry Senorita! Manju is like a little sister to me. Moreover, I am a one woman man.", He said winking at her and giving a quick bite on her cheeks before going towards the stairs.

"Be careful of stairs", she said with concern.

"I will, my love", he said blowing her a flying kiss before turning towards the stairs.

She bit her lips and subtly smiled gazing at him while he went downstairs.
