Unspoken Past (Completed)

Emotional Ups & Downs.

     Sid woke up to the chirping of the birds. He got fresh and came to the balcony of the room. It was a beautiful morning. Everything was beautiful. He looked at the garden beneath. Among all the flowers he could see Sana sitting with her legs folded. A smile on her face so enhancing that his legs shook. He took the steps two at a time and came down to her. She looked up at him and smiled. He went and sat next to her.
Sana: Kitna khubsurat hai yaha.
Sid: Hmmm. Tu itne jaldi uth gayi??
Sana: Siddharth muje pehle se jaldi uthne ke aadat hai.
Sid: Ha pata hai muje. Khud bhi jaldi uth ti the aur muje bhi utha kar walk pe le jaati the. Zabardasti.
Sana: Ha aur tu kitna ganda ganda muh banake chalta.
Sid: Are to itne subah subah uth kar walking jaana to mere leye bahot irritating lagta tha.
Sana: Par fir bhi tu aata.
Sid: Hmmm
Sana looked at him and their eyes met.
Sana: Kyu siddharth??
     A lock of hair came loose from her pony. He took it with his fingers and shifted it behind her ears. He smiled
Sid: Pata nhi.
     They both looked at each other as if trying to lose in each other's eyes. Sana suddenly broke the eye contact, got up and left.
The Shukla family with Sana were at the dining table, when Sid arrived. He was in happy mood today. He looked at Sana. She was looking fresh like a flower. So beautiful. His heart skipped a beat. Baba and chachu were about to leave. They both were like Ram and Laxman. Always together. Baba was very fond of chachu. His younger brother was his strongest support.
Chachu: Siddharth Tu tickets ka dekh lega na??
Sid: Don't worry chachu, mai chala jaaunga.
Chachu: Thek hai. Reet isse guest list de dena.
Reet: Thek hai.
As they both left. There was a loud chattering on the table.
Pari: Bhai Sheetal ka message aaya hai. Vo aaj usne hame hamare dress rehearsal ke leye uske boutique bulaaya hai. Aap chaloge??
Sid looked at Sana.
Sana: Yeh Sheetal kon hai?? Tumhara shaadi ka lehenga yahi design kar rahi hai kya??
Ruhi: Ha hum sab ke kapde vohi design kar rahi hai. Aur Sheetal bhai ke girlfriend hai.
     Sana expression changed. Sid could see her eyes hardened. Her smile was intact, but it had gone from genuine to fake. She didn't look at him.
Maa: Pari tum log Sana ko bhi le jaana aur uske leye bhi ek dress design kar lena.
Sana: Are nhi Maa mere paas hai.
Maa: Vo to honge he, par sab ke sath tum bhi banva lena.
     Saying that Maa and Chachi left. Pari understood what had just happened. Sana mood has changed. She was so happy in the morning. But Sheetal was a reality. And she would have to face her now or later.
Sana: Pari muje kisi se koi kapde nhi banvane.
     Sana excused herself and went to the room. Sid watched her going. He had become restless. He looked at Pari and gave a sad smile. Pari too gave him an understanding smile got up and followed Sana. She reached the room to find Sana sitting on the couch in the balcony.
Pari: Kyu hua tuje??
Sana: Kuch nhi. Muje kya hona hai.
Pari: Sana bol. Kya hua hai??
Sana: Kal raat maine aur Siddharth ne decide kiya ke hum tere shaadi hone tak hamare beech ke jo bhi difference hai, vo alag rakhenge. Kyuki tu hamare zhagade se affect na ho. Pari mai kitna koshish karti hu ke isse effect na hu. Par yeh sab mere bas me he nhi hai. Pichle nau saalo me maine uske kitne affairs ke baare me suna. Har baar dil udaas ho jaata hai. Hamesha apne aap ko daat ti hu yeh keh kar, ke muje kyu farak padna chahiye. Lekin farak padta hai Pari. Farak padta hai.
Pari: Sana yaar mai kya kahu??
Sana:Tuje pata hai Pari. Mere life me agar koi takleef aati hai na to mai yeh sochti hu ke isse zyada takleef to muje ho he nhi sakti. Par yeh jo siddharth ka dard hai na. Yeh un sab taklifo ko chota bana deta hai.
She took her face in her hand and started crying.
Pari: I'm sorry baby.
     Sana shook her head wiped her tears.
Sana: I'm sorry Pari. Tere life ke itne acche moments me mai apna rona dhona lekar bait gayi. Ab nhi roungi. Sorry.
Pari: It's ok. Sorry mat bol. Chal mood thek kar apna. Agar Tu na aana chahe to mat aa.
Sana: Nahi nhi mai chalungi. Dekhti To hu tere bhai ki girlfriend ko.
    They both laughed, but standing outside the open room was Sid whose heart was crying. He walked to his room. He lay on the bed. He had hurt her so much. And the worst part is its still there. What can he do to make it go away. He wanted that bublee and naive and innocent Sana back. But he knew it's next to impossible. The damage has been done. And that disturbed Sid a lot.
    He was busy today. He can't dwell on these things right now. The nights are his to think about. He needed a coffee as his head was aching. So he called out Maa to send him one. Sana has freshen up and came out to find the house help carrying coffee to Sid's room.
Sana: Yeh muje de do. Mai le jaati hu.
     There was a knock on the door and a voice which made Sid's heart beat faster came from the doorway
Sana: Kya mai andar aa sakti hu.
     Sid looked behind, trying to be cheerful.
Sid: Meri best friend ko kamare me aane ke ijazat lene ke zarurat kab se pad gayi??
    She walked in. A genuine smile on her face. Sid's spirit lifted. Sid got up from the bed and they stood facing each other.
Sana: Jab se teri best friend vo nadaan, bewakuf bacchi nhi rahi.
Sid: Excuse me. Meri best friend bewakuf nhi the. Voh to bahot pyaari the.
Sana: Accha to mai ab acchi nhi legti tuje??
Sid: Tu muje utni he acche lagti hai, jitni pehle lagti the.
     They looked at each other. An awkward silence between them.
Sana: Siddarth, I'm sorry. I'm sure teri girlfriend acchi hogi. I didn't wanted to be rude. Mere vajah se sab ka mood kharaab hota hai na??
     Sid took her hand in his and smiled looking at her.
Sid: Kisi ka mood kharaab nhi hota. Sab bahot khush hai. Tere aane se. Mai bhi.
Sana: Hmmm. To chal milte hai teri girlfriend se.
And they both looked at their entwined fingers.
    They all were ready to go to the boutique. Sid came down.
Ruhi: Bhai aap bhi chal rahe ho??
Sid: Nahi mai travels ke office jaa raha hu. Tickets book karne hai. Isko bhi destination wedding karni the. Chup chap mumbai me kar leti. Sab ko kaam pe lagaya hua hai.
Sana: Pari yeh jo rukhe sukhe log hote hai na vo aise he baat karte hai.
Sid: Abe moti, mai koi rukha sukha nhi hu. Bada interesting banda hu mai.
Sana: Kitne bade khush fehmi me hai yeh. Baap re.
Pari: Accha accha chup ho jaau aap dono. Sana hame late ho raha hai. Bhai chalo na aap bhi. Ek kaam karna aap aapka kaam karke fir vaha aa jaana. Hum lunch bahar karte hai.
Sid: Thek hai. Cool. Ek kaam kar moti tu mere sath chal. Tum log chalo hum baad me join ho jaayenge.
Pari: Ha chalega. Bhai ko vaise bhi akele drive karne me bore hota hai. Sana tu aaja bhai ke sath. Mera fitting hone tak tu pahuch jaayegi. Mama kaha hai Ruhi?? Unko bol jaldi kare.
Sana: Are Pari mai chalti hu na tum logo ke sath.
    Sid came closer to Sana and whispered in her ears.
Sid: Kyu moti dar lagta hai kya mere sath
    This instigated Sana. She looked at Sid
Sana: Pari, tumlog chalo. Mai siddharth ke sath aati hu.
    They both drove in silence at first.
Sid: Kyu hua moti??
Sana: Tu na zyada mind games mat khel mere sath samjha. Mai kyu daru tere se??
Sid: Vaha tere expression dekh ke laga muje.
Sana: Tuje to kuch bhi lagta hai. Aur yeh moti kya hai?? Kab the mai moti?? Na Pehle the na ab hu.
Sid: Par fir bhi mai tuje moti he bulanga.
Sana: Bhaad me jaa tu.
Sid: Agar abhi gaya to tuje bhi leke jaana padega.
Sana: Siddharth tuje pata hai tu sabse irritating insaan hai.
Sid: Ha pehle bhi suna hai tujse. Sirf tuje he mai irritating lagta hu.
Sana: Accha?? Teri girlfriend ko nhi lagta??
Sid: Bilkul bhi nhi.
Sana: Accha muje uski photo to bata??
Sid: Ab chal rahi hai na to dekh le usse.
Sana: Siddharth zyada drama mat kar. Dekha.
Sid: Accha yaar
    Sid removed the mobile, opened the galary and showed her the pic.
Sid: Le shauk pura karle apna.
    Sana looked at the pic
Sana: oh wow bada mast maal chupa ke rakha hai.
Sid: Mast maal?? Kya language hai?? Tu kabhi nhi sudhregi.
Sana: Abe taarif kar rahi the. Ab tuje mast maal ka matlab nhi samja to mai kya karu.
Sid: Aisi tareef sun kar to banda suicide he kar le.
Sana: Siddharth chal ice-cream khaate hai.
Sid: Tune kya aaj koi sasta nasha kiya hai kya??
Sana: Kyu??
Sid: Car se bahar nikalna itna aasaan hai?? Sab jama ho jaayenge, tere fans.
Sana: Mere ya tere??
Sid: Tu yaha kitni chaayi hue hai tuje pata hai??
    They reached the tours and travels agency. The owner was Sid's friend so he took them directly to his office from the back door. Sid gave him the details of the tickets to be booked. They were sitting in the office alone, when Sana noticed the watch in his hand. This was the watch she had given him for his birthday. She had flown from Punjab just for his birthday. She had seen him happy to see her. He had come to pick her from the airport. His cake was cut at twelve. The messages were pouring in from friends and his fans. She went on the bench in the quite corner of the garden. She wanted to give him her gift but he was busy. But he had come searching for her
Sid: Moti tu yaha baiti hai??
Sana: Ha tu busy tha na?? Isleye tuje disturb nhi kiya.
Sid: Tu muje kabhi bhi disturb kar sakti hai Sana. Hum best friends hai. Tera haq hai uthna mujhpe.
    Sana removed her gift from the paper bag and gave it to him.
Sana: yeh raha tera gift. Sab tuje kuch na kuch denge. Fir mera bhi to haq hai na tuje kuch dene ka.
Sid: Mere leye na teri yeh pyaari se muskurahat he kafi hai.
Sana: Accha dekh na please.
    Sid opened the box to a beautiful wrist watch.
Sid: Sana yeh to bahot expensive ghadi hai.
Sana: Ab kimti logo ko kimti cheeze he de jaati hai. Pehen ke to dekha muje??
Sid: Bahot pyaari hai thank you.
Sana: Ab tu iss ghadi ko hamesha pehenega. Aur yeh ghadi tuje hamesha meri yaad dilayegi.
Sid: Muje tere yaad dilaane ke leye ghadi ke zarurat nhi hai. But I loved it
      Sid had leaned and kissed her on her cheek and Sana has gone pink.      Sana was looking at the watch now. He had not discarded it. Sid looked where she was looking and he remembered the incident too.
