When They Cross Paths

WTCP (18)

Few days later..

Sidharth is seemingly very disturbed and repeatedly calling Sana without a break but can't get through..

Finally after an hour she receives his call..

"Hello?"..she receives

"What the hell is wrong with you?!".. he almost whines while driving his car..

"Kya?!"...she has no idea of his current mood..

"Where were you?"

"I told you na that I will be coming to this new production house.."

"I have been trying to call! Phone kyun nehi ja raha tha?"

"Relax baba, could be issues with the network probably!"

Sidharth takes a pause for few seconds..

"Hua kya hai?"..she asks..

"Mujhe abhi isi wakt tumse milna hai..where are you?"

"Baas ghar ja rahi thi..sham ko milte hai na as planned.."

"No, mujhe abhi milna hai..I will pick you up..kaha ho tum..?

"Sidharth baat tou suno.."

And before she could finish her line, he intervenes again..

"Sana..!!"

"Achha theek baba! Kaha ho tum abhi?"

"Send me your location.."..he demands instead..

"Hmm bhej rahi hoon.."..she hangs up and sends him the location accordingly..

*************

He arrives to her location within 20 minutes..

Sana gets inside the car hurriedly..

"Baap re! Kya hua tumhe?!"...she wonders!

He starts the car without answering her..

"Sidharth..is everything ok?"..she rubs his arm gently..

"Mera dimaag kharab ho raha hai..!"..he says annoyingly..

"Lekin kyun?"..she asks..

"Nandita will be here tomorrow and I had no idea about it!"

"Areh tou you sister is coming! That's a great news! Why are you pissed about it?!"..she wonders again..

"She is coming with that Shraddha and Mom wants her to stay at my place with Nandita!"

"Ohh!.."..she reacts less because her efforts are more focused on managing his temper rather than digging this fling between him and Shraddha..

"Ok Sidharth I get it lekin aise dimaag kharab karnese kya hoga? Kuch kar payenge kya hum? Tou abhi relax karo..dekh lenge baad mein.."

He doesn't give her a convincing look..

"You think I will be comfortable around her?! For God's sake Sana, I can say NO to her on face aur koi mujhe rok nehi sakta but I am only worried about Mom and her health now.."

"Hmmm yeh baat bhi hai! Lekin Sidharth Shukla ki bandi tou fixed hai! So I don't think I should be tensed!"..she tries to make the conversation lighter..

It still doesn't work on him..

She moves close to his side and wraps her arms around his..."Main hoon na..stop being so hyper about every small thing!"

He leaves a deep exhale and its beautiful how her touch always soothes his bulging nerves.."

"Tu samajh kyun nehi rahi hai?! I can't afford to hurt you, neither can afford to lose you!"..he says, looking at her intensely..
