Love of my Life

5.

Walking towards home Sid had a smile in his face with a new found feeling. This is new for him, he has always been studious, career oriented and taking the responsibilities of family since his fathers death in a very young age of 19. Mom was a house wife and Kajal's tuition classes barely fulfilled there basic needs, she was in college studying. He had no time for any affairs or flings or rather partying in clubs, which usually his friends would do. He educated himself, did a lot of hard work to reach the position he was in. He wanted to be a model but he kept that passion aside for his family. He has no regrets, he is happy and satisfied with his life and how everything has turned for him. He is well settled now, his sister who is 2 year older to him settled and happy. But when he saw Sana, since morning, something felt missing in his life. The need or urge for a wife, a family was never this strong until now. 'Wife' he thought, wow! He has not even had a proper talk with her but can anyone have that much impact on you just by a glance, he was amazed, stupefied!

Next day, a new morning and eagerness to go to work and see that face  was giving him a new zeal. He reached company way before his usual time and his eyes searched for that one person in the reception and he found her smiling, beautiful in white churidar like an angel, with her long hair open, small shining bindi in her forehead and looking at him and greeting in her sweet voice, "Good morning Sid...Sir." "Good morning, please call me Sid, no need to be formal, Sana. Good morning Mona, hope you are doing well." he said.  "Good morning sir, I am good, thank you" said Mona, a bit surprised with what was happening as they were calling each other in nick names. "It was nice to meet you Sana yesterday evening, I want to discuss something with you, can you please visit my cabin now?" he casually asked Sana. Sana jittered with his sudden call to his cabin, but replied, "Sure", she couldn't say anything more than that word. She followed him behind giving a nod to Mona, who seemed to be equally surprised. 

Sid entered his cabin with his rapid heart beat, as he didn't plan this, no agenda, but spontaneously called her to spend some time with her before he gets busy with his meeting. The curiosity to know her, talk to her, spend some moment with her, was on peak for him. He wanted to know if she also felt the same. He opened the cabin door for her, and she passed him with her face down, hands clasped demurely in front, red cheeks and nervous. He sniffed her aroma spreading his nostrils, blend of rose and lily. He was behind her observing, she was short, petite in front of his huge muscular build and he loved that. Her layered and wavy long burgundy brownish hair flowing below her waist. 

She turned and smiled, he was awestruck, awed by her beauty, her big kohled eyes, big lashes, shining small stone bindi on her forehead, her sharp nose and a mole in that nose and on her left cheek, those pink lips to die for, sharp jaw, small gold jumka earring in her ear, long neck, dupatta around that and her flawless skin. She is absolutely breathtaking piece of art. That moment stilled for him, he was in a dream land and he could spend all his life just looking at her and admiring her.  He came back to the real world when his phone ringed and disturbed his moment.  He gestured her to sit and kept his bag on the table and answered the call, eyes not leaving her for a second. 

He ended the call and sat on his chair and said, "Hi.." she replied shyly, "Hi.." Straightening himself he said with a calm, soft yet nervous voice, "I don't know Sana if I can say this and I hope you don't mind... I will come straight to the point... I... I...am so attracted to you. I never have been this enthralled by anyone before you. I want to know you.. I.. I.. have never done this before.. I don't know what I am saying... but do you understand what I mean? I like you Sana, do you also feel same for me.. like how I am feeling since yesterday? Please tell, say something.. Sana.."

She had a shocked and surprised, all red! Staggering she said, "I... I.. don't know what to say! All of a sudden.." She gulped down her saliva tensed, he can she her throat moving down, "I too felt something, I won't deny that, but I don't know what it is.. It is a all new feeling that I never had before! I am confused." She paused, "You are so respectable, in such great position and I am just a new hire here in my first job..." she blabbered.

Sid got up from his chair sensing her tensed condition and sat in front of her in the floor on his knees. Looked at her folded hand kept in her thighs, "May I" he asked permission if he can hold her hand. She was hesitant, closed her palm and slowly nodded her head and forwarded her palm. He immediately took her small hand in his big rough hands, they both felt an electric jolt inside their body. "Do you feel that?" he asked, she blinked and nodded, "Say it out Sana, I want words." He said in soft voice. "I will have an heart attack now, I think..." she said breathing fast, her chest rising up and down fast. He chuckled, left the hand softly, got up and gave her the glass of water to drink. He couldn't take his eyes of her, she gulped down the water and some water going down from her lips to chin, to throat and inside her dupatta, which was covering her assets decently.

She kept the glass down and wiped the mouth with dupatta and kept her hand in chest and huffed. "Good now? relax. I don't want you to stress but I wanted to share my feeling that I am having for you and I am happy that you also feel the same" sitting in the table beside her he said. "I want to meet you outside somewhere; you can know more about me and I also want to know you. Will you go out with me?"

"What No.. I cannot.. it is not possible! I have never been on any date or anything like that. My family is bit conservative, you know. I hope you understand that." She said nervously. "Hmm, I understand... how did you commute here in the morning?" Sid asked to see if he can find some other way to talk to her. "I took company bus, I enrolled myself for the transportation yesterday" she said. "Good then after work I will drop you home and we can have some time with each other in my car. Your shift ends at 5pm right?" he asked. "Yes, but what will other employees think and what if they find out that I am missing from bus and call my parents! No... no... I don't want to give any tension to them" she said innocently. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about that I will take care, after your shift ends just come towards the parking lot, you will find me there. You can trust me". Hesitantly she nodded and said, "Okay". They both looked at each other and blushed, breaking the eye contact she said, "Can I go, Mona might be looking for me." "Yes of course, though I don't want you to go, but I can't help." He said playfully with a smile.

With butterflies in there stomach, new expectations, new feelings, they both eagerly waited for the evening of new hope.
