"Sana come this way" Sidharth guided sana after they reached the stadium and got down from his car
"Sidharth where are we going, am I not supposed to sit there with the audicence"
"You are sana, but before that let me make you meet sakshi and Mayank, peeche vale gate pe hai"
"Si-Sidharth uhmm"
"Kya hua sana, you don't want to meet them?"
"N-no what if they don't like me Sidharth, I-uhm I don't know"
Sidharth stopped and slightly held her hand tugging her near him
"Why won't they like you sana, they'll love you and I know it, tumhare jaise kind log duniya main manufacture hona band hogye hai if you know"
"Eww Sidharth wtf" sana said laughing with the beautiful twinkling in her eyes
"Then don't make me say such cringe lines sana, and why are you nervous bache hi hai and believe me they are very very sweet chalo ab jaldi" Sidharth said threading their fingers together and tugging her along with him to the back gate
"Sakshi Mayank" Sidharth called out softly making them flip their heads towards Sidharth and Sana "I wanted to make you meet someone, ye sana my friend/ neighbour and Sana this is sakshi and ye Mayank"
"Sana di hi!!!! Sir told me how pretty are you but aap to uske x100 times zyada pretty ho"
Sakshi said practically gushing over sana making Sidharth go read in the face
"Thank you sakshi, tum bhi bohot pretty ho, I love your curls"
"I know right, feels so good to have natural beautiful hair" sakshi said dramatically
"Ehh drama queen, drama band kar" Sidharth said giving a little smack at the back of her head making everyone giggle
"Hi Mayank" sana smiled at waved at him, she understood he was kind of the reserved one and Mayank waved back with a slight smile and a little hello
"Don't mind him han Mayank Aisa hi hai ignorant asshole" sakshi told sana
"Sakshi language" Sidharth said sternly
"Sakshi shut it idiot" Mayank spoke
"Uhummm sana di ye dekho ye dono are behind me like monsters now Atleast I got you thank fucking god" Sakshi told sana
"Yesss you got me sakshi, a team pakka" sana said pulling sakshi in a hug
"Yes because I love you already and bus match hojaye and we win hopefully then we will party ok"
"You will win bacha, just don't loose hope okay and don't pressurise zyada, I'll pray for you and Mayank both udhar baithke and yes fir hum party karenge" sana said cupping sakshi's face slightly, making sakshi and Mayank so happy and of course making Sidharth watch her with so much adoration
"Partyy yes, it's been long I-Uhmm you know" Sakshi mumbled getting teary eyed
"Hey sakshi look at me baby, you're okay Kya hua say it you'll feel better"
"I just miss papa a lot today, I-uhm unka dream tha to watch me accomplish this sana di and aaj when I am taking s..s..uch a big step towards my dream he isn't here so i-" Sakshi said finally letting her guards down and letting her tears flow, making Sidharth's heart clench his heart cried for sakshi how she had to grow up so fast compared to her age
"Sakshi" sana cupped her face gently wiping her tears and pulling her into a bear hug and stroking her back gently letting her cry, because it was important to let it all go specially before the big match
"You're so strong sakshi so so strong, and it's not even pity believe me, there's something about you bacha it's so fascinating and raw, your passion it's visible through your eyes and do you know how beautiful that is? Your dad sakshi he'll be so proud of what you've become bacha, he'll be up there cheering for his little baby to win right? You're doing so well sakshi and i know you'll keep doing it, rock karna hai aaj ka match Haina for your dad and mom, for Sidharth sir and most importantly for yourself sakshi right, kill it" sana said finally pulling out of the hug and watching a different determination on sakshi
Sidharth was stunned, he honestly felt so much at that particular point he just wanted to engulf sana in a hug and cry his heart out, the amount of adoration he had for sana was so high but at that point, he couldn't believe it could even go beyond that and that thought petrified him but in a good way, a way he never thought something could be felt like
"god fuck di, you don't know how good I feel after letting it all out, thank you I- that really meant a lot, and for the record I'll win this race for you too di I promise" Sakshi said with the most beautiful smile with drops of tears still lingering
Sana she felt her heart might explode, someone wanted to do something for her, it felt magical beyond beautiful, sana could already see a little sister residing in sakshi and she couldn't be more happier
"Sakshi don't thank me bacha and that I- I what you said it means so much"
There moment was broken by a huge whistle and an announcement of the match getting started in another 15 mins, all the participants had to be at their respective positions now
"Ok bachon it's time, fucking kill it okay" Sidharth said moving closer to Mayank and Sakshi
"Sir you cussed" Sakshi said grinning and pointing a finger at Sidharth
"Do hell with it, I don't care because I am nervous as fuck right now because of you two asses, but iske baad no cuss promise, Chalo now get your asses here group hug"
Sidharth said with a huge smile pulling Sakshi and Mayank in a hug "sana tum kya udhar khadi ho come you idiot" Sidharth said slightly chuckling, while sana came like a cute bunny and wrapped her arms around them
"Chalo ab jayo all the best bachon kill it and burn everyone's ass right"
"Yes sir" both Mayank and Sakshi said slightly chuckling
"All the best dono ko" sana said softly, waving them a good bye as they make their way out to position themselves at their respective points, well first was Mayank's race and then sakshi's making Sakshi stand at a more far off place
"Dekha I told you they'll love you sana" Sidharth said turning to her when Sakshi and mayak existed
"I know Sidharth, it was so beautiful to meet them it felt to so good thank you" sana whispered slightly smiling towards him
"Hey" Sidharth said taking her hand in his swiftly and rubbing soft circles with his thumb at the back of her hand "you don't need to thank me sana, the way you handled Sakshi it was so endearing to watch sweetheart, I am so so glad Sakshi could let it out before the match, it won't let her emotions over take her on the track and you did so good sana"
The warmth of his hand, clutching onto her made her heart so fuzzy, making her go all red she wanted to squeal like a stupid teenage girl, well that's what a peaceful warmth does to your Heart specially to sana when she wasn't at the receiving end of it mostly
"I'm glad I could help Sidharth, and I'm so happy that Sakshi is so strong also don't worry okay they'll rock it" sana said squeezing her hand into his in return
"Yeah" Sidharth said mumbling slowly "ok it's starting sana you go and sit at that seat in second row 7th number from the left okay? I'll be on the track with them take care sweetheart"
"All the best Sidharth" sana said while making her way to settle on her designated seat
———————
"Come on sakshi" sana cheered from the crowd, they were in their last round with sakshi just a bit away from winning the nationals, Mayank had already won his race and made her squeal like a maniac when he surpassed the finish line
"Yessss oh my god" sana squealed like a mad kid again when Sakshi completed at the first position, it's kind of weird how she was so so proud of someone who she just met like an hour ago, when her gaze shifted to Sidharth who was already looking towards her with a big ass beautiful smile of relief and peace
"You did it" sana mouthed towards Sidharth
"I know, I'm so happy" Sidharth mouthed back, it was so surreal how they could easily understand what the other one was saying despite being so far because of the distance
Sakshi and Mayank came running back and hugged Sidharth practically launching themselves on him making three of them smile like maniacs and Sana she wanted to cry with happiness why ? She didn't know herself but it was just in that moment she actually knew
Shit
No
Holy fuck
"I like him" she mumbled to herself, such feelings should've made her shudder but surprisingly it didn't rather the first time she didn't wanted to run away, she wanted a safe heaven a place where she could be confident enough of what she wants and that mere thought left her giddy
Sidharth looked at sana and gently called her near them "come here" Sidharth mouthed while still hugging them both, sana was unsure about going there because obviously she didn't wanted to intrude a special moment of Sidharth with his students
But when both sakshi and Mayank broke the hug and shouted for sana to come down to them that's when sana knew she definitely gained something today and then she couldn't control her emotions and practically ran towards the group
"Sakshi Mayank omg you guys did it I'm so happy and proud" sana said crouching down when both of them practically squished sana in their bear hug
"Thank you sana di" both of them beamed with happiness
"The prize distribution is about to start I request all the participants to please align" the announcement echoed making them pull away from the hug
"Jayo bachon and grab what you deserve" Sidharth said
"Fuck yes" Sakshi jumped
" Sakshi language" Sidharth said in a husky rough tone which eventually came out as really funny
"That's not fair sir, you are allowed to cuss when you feel the extra adrenaline but we ain't wth" Sakshi exclaimed making sana chuckle
"Because main bada hun budhu chal ab jaa" Sidharth said shaking his head and chuckling lightly
"So uh- I-" wtf are you doing sana, god I feel so jittery, just get your shit together girl her mind barked to her
"Kya hua sana, are you okay" Sidharth said so gently with so much concern lacing his face, it's so beautiful how this mad hulk, muscly and husky man goes from being a total strict man to such a gentle soul making Sana's heart explode
"Sidharth I'm fine I just wanted to say I'm so proud of them and so proud of you, I don't know if I should say this or not but, your mom and dad they'll be so happy and proud Sidharth" sana said holding her breath she just did not wanted to go over board specially when they haven't reached that space yet
"You think so?" Sidharth asked with a cracked voice making sana go weak in her knees
Sana gently stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him, she could feel his body getting stiffened probably not expecting the hug, but slowly melting when he wrapped his own arms around her waist and held them so tightly against himself
"I know so Sidharth, you're such a good person they'll be so so proud of what you've turned out to be" sana whispered tightening her arms around his neck and making one hand go up into his scalp massaging it slightly
They were in a quiet corner with no people surrounding them, making the hug so peaceful filled with tranquility
"Thank you sana" Sidharth whispered tightening his grip at her waist tugging her forward, he didn't know why because she was already squished into the hug but he couldn't care less this, it felt like home and he never wanted this moment to end
"Thank you kyun?"
"I don't know sana for everything, I was nervous as fuck and I just you know it felt good to have someone to just"
"Hold onto?"
"Yes I-uhm fuck yes" Sidharth groaned into the hug placing his face into the crook of her neck
"You don't have to thank me Sidharth, I felt so happy after such a long time believe me i should be the one thanking you but I won't because we are past that stage atleast" sana whispered, she could feel Sidharth's smile grow beside her neck making her whole body shudder with goosebumps
They finally broke the hug slowly, resting their foreheads against each other sana could swear she saw Sidharth's eyes gaze over her lips and she did the same, the urge, the desire it was so much at that point, the kind of euphoria they both were in it was something they'd never experienced
Sidharth gently cupped her face lingering his gaze into her eyes like the softest man ever and then letting it set on her lips, he leaned slowly into it when the announcement broke their moment
"Mr Sidharth, the coach representing MSTI university, can you please come by the podium"
"I..uhmm fuck shit" Sidharth mumbled after their little moment broke
"Sidharth you should uhmm go, Sakshi and Mayank needs you"
"Yes I guess I'll have to uhmm go, you stay here sana ok? I'll come in a minute"
"Yeah"
Sana never knew how she could feel a million butterflies in her tummy, she couldn't have thought how life will bring her to the point where she would be gushing over a man like a school teen kid, but she couldn't care less because this it felt good and it felt okay
