Ch - 25

Sana lifts her head towards him, his curious eyes are focused on her with pointed brows looking for an answer. She instantly diverts her eyes and starts biting her nails, how can she say that doesn't have any? It won't look good, maybe he forget about whatever was said before but she doesn't know that.

And don't want to take any favour from him not interested in listening to those blames again. She takes a glance at him and mumbles, "I.. I forget to bring them here." She never lied before but now it seems that she becomes an expert.

"Here, as in Darjeeling?" He asked by pointing around. She nodded sleeplessly and again bit her nails, shaking head he pulls her hand from the mouth and says,

"This is not a good habit and you, on every point successfully prove about your being a dumbhead. Who forgets to bring warm clothes to these types of hill stations? Seriously!" Sighed he takes out his phone and asked mishra to bring his one hoodie.

After five minutes mishra come, sidharth looks at her who is keep standing in a side quietly. Only he knows how he stops his laugh, every time she going to bit her nails turns to her and she instantly stands straight. Looks like he is a teacher, maybe handling the cunning one would be easier than this dumbhead one.

Taking a breath he forwards her the hoodie, "Wear this, for now, we will buy something on the market." Sana looks at his hand, then him a sudden shivers run to her spine by imagining herself in his clothes.

"I... I am fine." She stammered a little.

Rolling his eyes he put it on her hand and says, "I am not asking, wear this if want to go out or else let's go to the hotel." Nodded in no she grabs it and wears immediately, almost in a hurry causing sidharth to chuckle silently.

Thank god the mask is there, he decided to not being hard on her but it's just the first day and he really enjoyed it a lot. Her scared face reminds him of the five years old child, his smile not ready to leave after seeing her on his hoodie.

It reaches near the mid-thigh, loose from all places and above all the way she is blinking at him then look herself with a pout, she is looking like a super cute teddy bear at this moment. If it is possible he would definitely squeeze her cheeks, but it will look awkward.

"Let's go." He said by gesturing her to walk, making a face she walk forward by murmuring, "I am looking like a cartoon." Sidharth smiles at her comment and whispers from the back, "You are."

She turns to him with a scowling face then start walking. The beauty of the climate is reflected so beautifully at the night also, nothing can be best than living life in hill stations. After some time she the thought almost slip out of her mind that he is behind her.

After that night, for the first time today, she actually feels happy. She looks all around the trees, stars, those beautiful flowers, walking she doesn't realise when reaching near the market. She looks at the small flower which was picked a little longer ago when sidharth says from the back, "Come, there are so many shops for warm clothes."

She is still gazing at the flower, this not feel right to spend his money who knows what he thinks the other time and also after so many things she becomes a little independent. It's tough but feels so right to spend life without being dependent on anyone.

Without looking at him she mumbles, "I..it's fine, I have few back there. And I like this cold weather."

He is going to say something when a thought hit on his mind, all the times when he blamed her as a gold digger is flashing in front of his eyes. He understand it's not possible to change things in one day, maybe he should talk to her first about all things.

But now his mind focuses on one more thing, all the time he only notices her repeat three or four clothes all the time. He roams his eyes all over her but prefers to not ask anything directly, clearing his throat he sighs, "Ohk, then I am starving let's eat something."

Nodded she going to move when he say again, "No no wait, we can't be seen at the restaurant together." He looks all around then continues, "You go wait on that side, I am coming. And..mm.anything you love to eat?"

"No." Sana mumbled and darted towards the place, she knows it's illogical but feels a little sad by his words. Of course, he is right, being with him sometimes she completely forget that he is the superstar, people are dying to have his one look and this is the reason he is walking around like a kidnapper with all face covered.

Where she is a small makeup artist, no matter how much they stay together there is no match between them. If he is the sky then she is the sea, far from each other. This thought made her more sadden that because of her stupid act he had to marry her.

The reason for his anger is justified in all ways, she is not at all his type. He deserves someone equal to him, like Aditi. They both look equal together, she still remembers all the praises heard on the set. She is tall, beautiful, perfect in all senses not like a dumbhead which he always calls her.

She never thought before but there can be someone in his life before her, a sad chuckle left from her mouth. She was never there, she just entered forcefully on his perfect life. She feels like an intruder, have to stop these feelings for him because there is no way he is going to be her, ever.

"Here." Sidharth said by coming from the back but it seems she is too busy staring at the hills that didn't even hear him. Placing the packets on the bench he bends his head towards her and taps on her shoulder, "I am back."

Sana turns to him almost in shock, she was too lost before to feel his presence around. Before she turns her head to the other side he lifts her head towards him with furrowed brows, "Hey! Why are you crying?"

She diverts her wet lashes and wipes her face, "Ann..nothing..I am not. It's because of..the cold." Sana mumbled. Nodded he says, "Ohk, come let's eat."

Sidharth glance at her munching the burger quietly by looking at the view, she is not going to say anything he have to initiate a conversation. Taking a deep breath he asks, "Why did you run from the wedding?"

Sana's head popped up towards him in a jerk, his sudden question startled her to the core. In all the time, this is what he found to break the silence. She does not at all wants to go back on that memory lane again, shifting her eyes straight she says, "I.. I can't tell, something..happened."

He is still curious but doesn't want to force her in the very starting, and somewhere her sudden change of expression saying that she doesn't like this topic. Is it possible that the panic attack is related to this topic? If yes, then he seriously needs to change the topic for now.

"How is your that friend? He seems to be a very good friend of yours, I saw you sometimes go in a car." He asked about his next curiosity, really want to know about the person who takes her to the shopping and dropping home.

"She." Sana murmured.

With a confused face he looks at her, "Hn? What?" He didn't get what she just murmured.

"She, my best friend Aastha who helped me." Sana mumbled causing him to raise his brows and nodded by scratching the back of his head. It seems that he assumes so many things on his own, his friends are right about talking. It always solves problems easily.

"Mm..shehnaaz." It still feels difficult to say her name, calling her dumbhead is easier than addressing her by name. He turns half towards her and sighs, "See, there were so many misunderstandings between..us. But it's because you didn't tell me anything before, right?"

She nodded by staring at her lap, again bit her nails. "Don't." He slaps slightly on her hand. "It's a bad habit." He said by pointing at her hand. He doesn't understand why she is always so silent and do just the nodding all time or stammered. He never thought that can look so scary, taking a breath he asks,

"You always this silent or it just me?" She shrugged her shoulder by sparing side glances at him.

"Ohk, now listen to me. Forget whatever happened in these one month, I was angry, hurt kind of betrayed. And I should be, you understand right?" She hummed with a slight nod.

"Let's start fresh then, look.. We have to act in front of my family for now, and it is too fast for me to take a divorce. Already there are so many controversies, I didn't want to indulge in any other. But don't worry because no one knows you, and it will be the same.

Just forget about the clauses, I will remove them. You can simply stay with me like,.." He thinks a little then continues, "Like a friend?" He forwards a hand towards her with a smile, this is the only way for them to be normal at least for few more months or maybe a year.

Her eyes widen in shock by heard the word from him, after aastha he is the first one to asking to be her friend from the front. She never had much because usually, people rejected her by saying dumb, she wasn't allowed to be in the groups ever.

But there is no sadness because having one best friend is enough, she never feels alone and it's better to not be with the people who don't want you. And now he suddenly asking for her friendship, the other things that he said about not getting any divorce for now.

There might be some other reason behind this but she still feels a tint of happiness from inside, she would love to stay with him as much as she can. And this friendship, it's little kind of dreaming type, the person who is the star of million hearts.

People dying to have his one look and here he is asking for her friendship. Her heart thumped loudly by the way his eyes are staring at her with a smile.

All the feelings she tried to dug inside again start rushing all over her veins like a cyclone, the feelings that she obviously not going to share with him but it's impossible to stop them.

For now, staying with him as much as she can is the best thing for her, taking a deep breath she slowly places her hand over him with a slight smile which leads his face to glow like a shining star. It seems like his apology is accepted and finally the guilt decrease.

"Wow, it's a friendship day week and you become my friend. So a gift is required, let's go." Said sidharth pulled her hand, causing sana to panic, "No no, nothing is required, I am fine with this."

Rolling eyes he says, "It's mine, you look like a cartoon in this oversize hoodie and maybe someone can recognize that it's mine. We are buying new, as a friendship day gift." Before she could say anything he wears his mask and pulled her with him.

This sudden changing side of him is causing her shock all the time, but now the problem is. According to his words, she should also gift him something but the money she has will not match his standard of gift.

In the shop she simply stands and nodded in yes to everything he asks, shaking his head he himself choose something for her. "These are good?" He asked.

Looking at him she picks one, "This is enough, please." Shrugging he smile and move to the cash counter, roaming all around she came out from the shop when her eyes fall on something. She knows it won't suit his standards but have to gift something and this looks perfect.

Taking box inside the hoodie she looks at him coming towards her, just hoping that he like it.........
