Won't Let Go

Part 23 - "So Close, Yet Far Apart"

Hey guys, I'm so sorry for the long delay😅
I've been really sick but now that I'm better I thought I should update. It's a little longer than usual, hope y'all like it and don't forget to vote and comment your feedback.❣️

Onto the update....

Sidharth was relieved to see her by the water but as he walked towards her, nothing but negative thoughts wandered his mind.

***Sid's POV

I was so worried for how she took the news that I forgot what it could've lead to. I was nervous for her and hoped nothing wrong happened. I tapped her shoulder, waiting for her to turn around.

My heart was beating abnormally in the few seconds she took to turn. She looked at me confused, as if i was a stranger. I felt a drop in my stomach, a weird unexplained feeling. I couldn't digest the fact that she was sitting in front of me, staring as if she didn't know me. I almost zoned out when I heard her speaking

***POV ends

Sana - "hellooo....are you okay?" As she waved her hand in front of him bringing him out of his thoughts.

Sid - "Han......mai wo...sorry muje laga koi aur hai" as he came out of the shock and managed to form the first words that came to his mind. As he mumbled those words, one could tell how disturbed he was, sweat ran down his face as he composed himself.

Sana - "ap thik hai?"

Sid - "Han.....mai thik hu" while trying to hide his emotions.

He could've confronted her and let her know what was happening with her but he chose to behave as a stranger and go with the flow, as any new information would bring stress and he didn't want her going through another stressful situation.

He somehow managed to keep a smile on his face while walking away, but he was stopped by sana holding onto him, to keep her balance after another blackout. His heartbeat escalated as she held onto him.

Sid - "Shehnaaz tum thik ho" as he panicked and held her close, helping her stand still.

She felt weird as he was a stranger to her but deep inside she felt a strange connection from the moment she saw him. She lightly jerked his hand, moving herself away.

Sid - "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to.....I was...just helping" as his eyes almost teared up.

She still felt dizzy so she unwillingly asked for his help to get to the reception. They walked towards the hotel reception, with sidharth awkwardly holding her hand. He wanted to be there for her and help her in a way where she'll feel protected and safe but he couldn't.

Their flight was rescheduled for the next day and he wished her memory loss was temporary as before. He was having high hopes but deep inside feared the worst. He was acting as a stranger but kept an eye on her and guided the receptionist about the circumstances and to tell her about her flight back.

Sana wasn't feeling well, her head was hurting and was all over the place. She felt normal but their was a void like something was missing. She tried to act normal like nothing was happening and went to the pool area to relax and clear her head, hoping it would get better. Sidharth was also there somewhere making sure she was okay and he prayed with all he had, that she'd get better. They were so close, yet so far from each other.

Sana walked by the pool while she was going to get a drink for herself. She carelessly walked and slipped on the mini puddles of water beside the edge of the pool. As she fell in to the water, a small scream escaped her mouth which went unheard by almost everyone.

Sidharth wasn't there as he went to the reception to get some information on their flight. He heard some sounds coming from the pool area and rushed to see what was happening.
