Sidharth stood infront of the building where Sana stayed with her parents. After a while of contemplating, he finally found his feet climbing up the stairs. He now stood infront of the door to her home. Taking a deep determined breath, he knocked on the door.

"Coming..", he heard his wife's voice from inside. Her voice was no less than a soothing music to his ears hence his lips curved into a smile.

He straightened himself as he heard the door unlatching. Infront of him stood his beautiful wife whose forehead was decorated with beads of sweat. She was probably cooking in kitchen. She gasped as her gorgeous almond shaped eyes met his brown orbs.

"What are you doing here?", she asked.

"I am here to take you home with me.", he announced.

"Did you get the job already?", she asked.

"Do hell with the job. I only need you, nothing else.", he spoke as stepped closer to her and before she reacted to move back, he picked her up and put her on his shoulder.

"Sidhaaarth..", Sana screamed.

"What's happening here?", Sana's father gasped in shock looking at the scene infront of him. His wife too joined the audience.

"I am taking MY WIFE home, papa.", Sidharth said without fear or hesitation.

"Umm..aaa", Sana's father hummed awkwardly looking everywhere else than at the couple. He didn't know what to say, neither did his wife who was mortified herself.

"Sidharth, put me down.", Sana wriggled in his hold feeling a little mortified at their position in front of her parents but Sidharth's hold only tightened further.

"Not until we reach home, sweetheart.", Sidharth said.

"Sidhaaarth, at least let me take my belongings.", Sana said blushing in crimson at the sweet names he called and the touch she longed for so many days.

"Those can wait, I can't.", he said as he descended from the stairs leaving his in-laws jaw dropping to the ground.

"Maa.. the gas is on.. I've not put salt in the curry yet.", Sana instructed her mother while Sidharth was taking her downstairs. They had quiet a few audience who stared at them on their way until he reached the rickshaw he had kept waiting downstairs.

Upon reaching the rickshaw he shoved her into it and got inside.

"Let's go and keep your eyes on the roads only..", he ordered the driver strictly, who nodded his head and started the auto.

"Sidhaaarth.. what are you..", before Sana could complete her words, her lips were captured into his.

"Ummmm.. mmmm..", she tried pushing him away but Sidharth's hold was strong and the kiss was too intoxicating to let go. Giving up to the sweet torture, she finally let herself go with the flow. They didn't care if they had any viewers as they engaged themselves in a heated and passionate make out session.

After they detached from each other, Sana put her head down blushing to the deep shade of scarlet.

"Sana, I am sorry for being a total jerk.", Sidharth spoke pulling her closer into him with his one arm around her shoulder.

"Hmmm..", Sana leaned her head into his chest silently. The remaining ride was silent. Their eyes opened on the halt at their destination. Sidharth paid the fare to the driver before they alight.

Sana was once again sweeped above from the floor when he lefted her up in a bridal style.

"Sidhaaarth, please put me down, I am feeling too shy. Aayi baba will see us.", she begged onto his deaf ears. Her face was now red as tomato.

"It's new for me too sweetheart but I won't hold back anymore.", Sidharth said walking up the stairs. Knowing that she cannot win over this version of Sidharth, she gave up the fight and hid her face into his chest.

"Can you knock the door for me, sweetheart?", Sidharth asked as they reached the door.

Sana looked at him with pleading eyes to drop her down but Sidharth rejected with his silence. She finally made a pout and knocked at the door before hiding her face once again.

"Huh? Sana? What happened to you? Is she hurt?", Sidharth's mother enquired concerned as to why her son was holding her like that. Her eyes inspected Sana's feet for any visible injury.

"Maa.. ummm..", Sana fumbled.

"Yes maa, she is hurt and can't walk for few days. Can she rest in the room until then?", Sidharth asked. Sana looked at her husband in shock.

"Yes, please take her to the room. Your papa is gone outside and won't return until evening. I will let him know when he arrives. Should I get her any medicine or anything to drink?", His mother asked.

"No maa, I have got everything she needs. I will be with her. Let her rest without any disturbances.", Sidharth said and got a nod from her. Sidharth went straight inside the room and placed her on the bed. He closed the door behind before walking back to Sana.

"Why did you lie to Aayi, Sidharth?", Sana asked.

"When did I lie?", he asked taking off his wrist watch.

"Didn't you just say that I am hurt and can't walk for a few days?", Sana asked narrowing her eyebrows.

"Yes, I did. But where is the lie?", he raised his eyebrows.

"Well, you know that I am not hurt and I can walk. So you lied.", she said with a frown while folding her arms.

"I didn't sweetheart because now I am going to do something which I wanted for do from so long but couldn't. And soon, after that, you won't be able to walk.", he unbuttoned first two buttons and climbed on the bed getting closer to her.

Her eyes widened in shock upon realising what he said.

"Sidhaaarth.. it's broad daylight and aayi is at home.", Sana said pushing him away gently though half heartedly.

"So? The door is closed. How would she know unless you decide to moan loudly?", he asked her teasingly while leaning his forehead with hers and pushing it until she was lying on the bed fully and him hovering over her. She bit her lips feeling her cheeks getting heated due to the intimacy. His lips curved into a gentle smile.

"I want you so badly Sana. Don't you want me?", he asked in a husky voice. Their eyes staring intensely, lost in a trace.

"I do..", she whispered which gave him a goosebump. Without any further delay, he grabbed her lips into his and savoured it's taste. If not for shortage of oxygen, they wouldn't have ever detached their lips, even for a fraction of a second.

"Sidhaaarth..", She whispered panting heavily.

"Hmmm..?", he asked

"Did you change your mind?", he asked when he didn't hear anything from her for few seconds. She nodded her head in no before speaking.

"Would it really hurt so much?", she questioned with puppy eyes. His facial expressions suddenly changed and he slid on to the side lying beside her and stared at the ceiling. She panicked at his changed expression.

"I am sorry Sidharth. I was just a li..little nervous. Please d..don't confuse my question for rejection..", Sana sat and spoke in haste as she thought she might have made him upset with that question.

"Nooo Sana.. Why are you saying sorry? When it's all my fault?", Sidharth sat up and cupped her face with both his hands to make her look into his eyes.

"I know I've hurt you a lot in the past and I can't do anything but regret my whole life for doing so. I don't know what good I've ever done to deserve you and your forgiveness... I just don't want to hurt you anymore.."

"Ohhhh stop it already!!..", she said smashing her lips against his with full force. The force caused him to stumble and he rolled along with her landing straight onto the floor.

"Oouuchh..", Sidharth shrieked and looked at the surrounding to realise that it was all in his dream and he was sleeping at his friend's house. His friends were still sleeping like snakes after that late night hangover. Their limbs spread across in different directions while mouth wide open as they snored loudly.

"Arggghhh.. It was all a dream? Rrrr.. I couldn't do anything even in my dream..", he grumbled in frustration. He looked at the watch and realised that it was just 20 minutes to noon.

"Aaaaarrrghhh.. sh!t I overslept.. I still need to go to Sana and say sorry else my dream would only be a dream..", he mumbled to himself running into the bathroom to freshen up quickly.

He shook his sleeping friend, Adith to ask if he could borrow his bike to which his friend nodded and went back to sleep but not before mumbling a best of luck.

Sidharth rode to Sana's parent's house, all the while thinking how he is going to apologise and convince her to come with him. The dream was good but that just happens in fiction though. He couldn't think of doing such stunts infront of her or his own parents, could he? Neither would he kiss her senseless in an auto rickshaw giving the driver a free show. Such Public Display of Affection was not imbibed in his culture or ever described in his middle class books. All those lovey dovey acts would mainly happen behind the closed doors where they wouldn't have any audience around.

His bike came to halt near the apartment and he quickly climbed up the stairs. Standing in front of the door, he nervously and absentmindedly knocked on the door. The door click opened but it wasn't of Sana's but the neighbours. Sidharth looked at the person and forced a smile.

"You are Sana's husband right?", the lady asked. Sidharth nodded his head slightly.

"They are not home..", the neighbour lady informed.

"Huh!!", Sidharth turned to look at the door and realised that he hadn't noticed the big lock at the door all this time. He must have been standing there and knocking for atleast 5 minutes like a fool.

"Didn't Sana tell you?", the lady asked.

"Huh?", that was a question to which Sidharth couldn't say yes or no. He knew how dangerous the typical neighbouring aunties could be. They tend to poke their stinking nose into every neighbouring household, finding anything interesting to gossip among other jobless aunties like herself. Given the situation that Sana was staying at her parents house, they could have been already started to contemplate and conclude that she had either left her husband or he banished her for good. His no, could give them a clue that their thinking was right. Whilst his yes, may not give him answer he wanted to know at the moment. While he was contemplating, the lady spoke herself.

"Maybe she forgot to inform you in a hurry. One of their relatives in Kanpur has expired, so they all went to the railway station in the morning.", the lady informed Sidharth.

"Oh!! Okay!! Sh.. she might have t..tried calling me.. M.. my.. phone was sw..switched off. You see.", he fumbled to handle the situation to his favour.

"Oh!! Hmmm!! You look like you ran a marathon. Would you like to come in and have some water?", The lady offered.

"Umm.. n..no I am fine. Thank you. I will get going now..", he declined the offer humbly even though he hadn't eaten anything since last evening and was parched with all the running. He couldn't possibly sit at her house and spill out any unnecessary information which could tarnish his wife or his in-laws image, right?

"Okay", the lady said and Sidharth left the place in disappointment. Walking downstairs, he stood near the bike to wear the helmet, when he saw a petty shop nearby. He might as well quench his thirst with a bottle of water, as it was scorching hot and riding a bike while you were dehydrated was not a good idea.

While he sipped the water, he saw an auto pull over and the beautiful lady of his life herself got down from it.

"Sana..!!", he gasped looking at her, who was paying the fare. He was about to run when the shopkeeper reminded him of his bill that was due for payment. He immediately pulled out the change and put it on the counter before taking a few steps further. He then realised, he left the bottle behind for which he had paid, and hopped back to grab the bottle. He is a middle class fellow and can't afford to waste gis hard earned money, right? He now ran towards the love of his life who had already disappeared inside the apartment entrace.
