When They Cross Paths

WTCP (32)

2 days later..

Sidharth is deliberately keeping it low and refraining from responding to Sana's calls and messages unless they are absolutely necessary..

After trying him relentlessly, she calls Monica to know about his schedule..

"Haan Sana..Kaisi hai?"...Monica receives..

"Theek nehi hoon yaar. Usko bolo mere sath baat kare!"..Sana seems all impulsive..

"Sid ko?"

"Haan obviously yaar..is he around?"...she asks impatiently..

"No he isn't. Lekin baat kya hai? Is everything ok?"... Monica asks..

"Nehi yaar..he is super pissed at me..!"

"Yaar tum dono na!"...Monica sighs..

"Achha tell me na, how does his schedule look for the day?"..Sana asks..

"Not much though. There's this photo shoot happening and that's all for the day. Dhruv's shoot is going to start soon, so he asked me to pause any other plans for at least 2 weeks. He depends a lot on Sid, tujhe tou pata hi hai.."

"Hmmm..pata hai I called Dhiraj Kaka, he isn't at home either aur phone bhi nehi utha raha hai.."..she sounds very low..

"Haan tou gym mein hoga..why are you getting so tensed babe?"

"Yaar he has never done this before! He isn't answering my calls neither reverting to my texts..ghar pe bhi nehi hai..main kaha jaun usse dhundne? I am feeling very restless..please usko bolo na mere sath baat kare!"...Monica finds her incredibly innocent when she makes such requests..

"Theek hai baba..tu pareshan maat ho..I am calling him.."

"Thank you Monica!"

"Anything for you darling! I will make sure that he calls you back.."

"Thanks. I will wait...bye.."

"Byee.."...Monica hangs up and dials his number..

"Haan bol.."..he picks up..

"Kaha hai tu Sid?"

"Just came out of gym.."

"Why aren't you picking up her calls?"

"Who?"

"Sid! Ofcourse I am talking about Sana!"

"Kyun kya hua?"

"Arehh she called me and bohot pareshan lag rahi thi..kitni innocent hai yaar! Don't bug her like this, come'on!"

"Theek hai...karlunga ghar jake.."

"Abhi kar le..wait kar rahi hai bechari bachhi!"

"Itni bhi bachhi nehi hai! Sab samajh hai usko!"

"Haan theek hai.. actually tum dono hi bacche ho! Ab tu phone kar usko aur milte hai as scheduled at 4 pm.."

"Hmm..see you.."..he hangs up..

In the meantime, Sana calls him back again and finally he picks up..

"Bolo.."..he answers the call very bluntly..

"Kya baby! Kyun kar rahe ho mere sath yeh?"..she replies impulsively..

"Khud se pucho! And I think you know the answer.."

"Please understand.."..she requests..

"What do I understand?"

"Just allow me some time Sidharth..trust me I will make you more proud!"
