she never thought he will confess his love to her and talk to her so openly.....He kissed her forehead again. He got up and walked out sadly leaving a surprised Shehnaaz behind .

She did not move or open her eyes until he was gone but tears started flowing from her eyes constantly after he left. She got up and sat on the bed bringing her knees close to her chest, she picked up the rose and looked at it lovingly caressing it...

her heart beat increased at the thought of him being so close to her, she touched her forehead where he kissed and a small smile played on her lips. ...

" hey babaji give me strength . I can't see him like this, I'm not ready to accept that he loves me . I can't forgive him this soon....I need strength.. please babaji.. I need strength..", shehnaaz Prayed.

Shehnaaz thought, " this is what you always wanted Sana and now that he is trying to give you What you always wanted then why is it so hard for you to accept him!!?? ".

She put the rose on the table nicely and sat there thinking , when he walked in with jag full of water in his hand..

He stood at the door way Totally surprised...

He thought she was sleeping but she was sitting there awake...

He got frozen at his spot looking at her .

Sidharth thought, " was she awake all this time.?".

She looked at Sidharth scared that he saw her awake.. but then looking at his face she knew he was in the same state as her, he also looked like a child who got caught doing something wrong.

To not make him feel so awkward she asked....

" did you put this rose here!? "

She said pretending that she doesn't know. Sidharth gulped hard Thinking what to say..?

" yah, when you were sleeping then.."

He looked down nervously thinking what her reaction will be.

" I like roses.."

He looked at her..

he dint think she would actually say that.....

he looked lost....

she sensed it....

He forgot what he went to do.

" water... you went to get water!? "

Both of them trying to hide there awkwardness thats was very obvious at this moment.

" no.... I mean yes... I went to get water. Do you want water?", he stuttered.

"yes...thank you , I woke up due to dry throat, I was actually going to get water as you came.."

She lied to him trying to control the situation...

He put the jug on the side table and poured water out for her. He brought the cup near her while she looked at him...

he stood there holding water and she sat and looked at him from the bed...

Dehleez pe mere dil ki joh rakhe hai tune kadam

no movement no noise just wind blowing like whispering to them...

Tere naam pe meri zindagi likh di mere humdum

Sid and Sana both lost in each other's eyes...

Haan seekha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena

they stared into each other's eye for quite sometime like digging deep inside each other's soul for answers.....

Haan seekha maine jeena mere humdum

when finally from the wind the rooms window closed making them come back to reality...

both of them startled trying to avoid looking into each other's eyes again.

" Shehnaaz water.. ", He forward the glass..

" yes"

He handed the water and moved to the other side of the bed .

He waited for her to finish her water and put the glass back to turn off the light.

Shehnaaz slowly drank the water and put the glass back on the side table. She slides down into the blanket and lied facing the wall .

Her back facing him. He looked to see if she was sleeping and turned off the light.

Shehnaaz clutched the bed as soon as he turned the light off and started sobbing loudly..

she was shaking , shivering..

he heard her and quickly turned towards her moving her to face him...

"Shehnaaz kya howa... Sana ?... Sana?"

But she kept crying , she held his shoulder tightly clutching his shirt.......

he tried to get up to sit down , but her clutch on his shirt was so tight he couldn't turn around to switch the light on either...

" Shehnaaz let me turn the light on....Shehnaaz? "

He said softly to make her relaxed...

" I'm scared of darkness.."

He closed his eyes , regretting to himself that he did not Even know that!!

How would he....?

he never gave any importance to her or tried to find out about her.

He did not know that she was scared of darkness. He cursed himself but this is not a time to think he needs to turn on the light.

" Please dont go....."

" shehnaaz I'm here.. "

He said holding on to her hand which was clutching his shirt so tight to where she was also hurting him unknowingly but he doesn't care right now he is more worried seeing her so scared.

" shehnaaz I'm not going anywhere let me turn on the light.. ", He Said softly.

" o... ok..."

She said in between her sobs.....

She slowly let go of his shirt one side only held him tight with the other... he turned around and turned on the light.

He looked back...

she had her eyes closed tightly and curled up like a baby clutching his shirt.....

She had frown lines on her forehead and sweat beads....

He brought his hand and wiped the sweat away and cupped her face .

" shehnaaz.. you ok??.. I'm sorry I didn't... I'm so..."

He was about to say sorry again when she came back to sense when feeling his hand on her face. She let go of his shirt .

" I'm Fine.."

She gulped hard like something got stuck in her throat seeing him so close. She quickly moved back which got his hand off her face too.

" why did you get so.....I mean!! ", He trailled off.

" please don't ever turn off the lights . I have never been without light ever since I was young ...I've always been scared of darkness since..", She Paused For a while, " leave it..... Please can you get my night lamp from my room..".

" it was your room Shehnaaz....now this is our room.....I will go get it but first tell me why are you so scared of darkness shehnaaz please . ", he just want to know why she feared from Darkness..

" its ok.. there is a lot of things about me you don't know. ", She Said not wanted to Disclose right now.

" ok if you don't want to share right now I understand. But I'm here for you. ", He Said Worriedly.

He was looking at her sadly , she looked back at his down face and couldn't help but tell him why...

" it's a phobia since childhood... I've always been scared of darkness.. "

HE was just looked at her listening..

" I'm the only child of my parents.. Papa always want son but after me mumma unable to conceive another one.. When I was 2 mumma paased away.. Papa never likes even never asked if I'm fine or not.. He was all buzy with his political parties.. Elections and all.. One day when he Comes tired from his meeting he was so angry.. At that time I was playing with Jack my dog.. By mistake the ball hit him.. He got more angry.. He just throw jack out of the house.. He was the only one who accompany me whole day after my Schools and after he goes I was so alone.. After throwing him out dad locked me in dark Storeroom for 1 Week.. I cried Allot..i was only allowed for 1 time Meal.. ", Sana chocked saying her Past..

" But we can over come it together can't we ? ", Sidharth Said, he's feeling more guilty now.

Sana looked at him questionable .

" I'll help you overcome your phobia . I'll always be by your side Shehnaaz I promise.I'm going to get the light . Drink some water please.. "

He got up and looked back at her.

" sure you are ok na?", he asked Worriedly.

" I'm fine now Sidharth..", and Once Again his heart skipped a beat hearing his name from her lips.

He went and got the night light from her previous room and put it on Shehnaaz side.

He was so scared to turn of the light . He hesitated and kept looking back at Shehnaaz sleeping form whole night even though..

She was not facing him....Finally after so much struggle he slept.

Shehnaaz who was waiting for him to sleep... slowly turned around looking at him and admiring him as she use to do every morning..

she is sleeping beside him more of her dream coming true, there is nothing more she can ask for right now being so close to him is enough right how.
