Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Sid Pov

I had just come out of the bathroom, then my eyes went to Sahil who was looking at me angrily.

"Why did you ask me to say Ahana, that she is like my younger sister, I am just giving advice to her like a brother. you are not a good Guy, she should stay away from you"

"I just wanted to give her a warning. Even if she was Innocent, we had told her not to love me. And if she is not Innocent, then she deserves betrayal" I said. He smiled looking at me.

"good night" he said and went away while i was just thinking about my next plan.

Time Flies

Me and Ahana left for the village in the morning. Outside the forest, the cab driver stopped the car. We both got down from the car and went inside the forest. There was absolutely no talk between me and Ahana since morning. Neither did she say anything nor I started talking.

"Will have to walk from here…. Around 2 to 3 days will take to reach the village" she finally spoke to me.

"Ok, so do you always come to the city from the village by walking this much?" I asked. she looked at me and nodded in yes.

"What happened? Not talking today, Sitting silently" i asked.

"I told you such a big secret of my life. You didn't think anything about me" she asked.

"I told you yesterday only, you are my lioness"

"Do you feel something for me?" she asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? First let us know each other and then understand each other and about our feelings, then we will take the decision that our relationship should be of friendship, or we should get in a relationship or to become unknown and get away from each other " i said. she was just looking at me. I do not know whether she is watching me with love or keeping an eye on me. Both of us were just going inside the forest. Going forward, she held my hand. I looked at her and then our hands, but I didn't say anything.

"To get to know each other, we have to walk with each other. We have to spend time with each other" she said while holding my hand more tightly.

I did not respond to her words, just got rid of my hand. I know Everyone would consider me crazy but the right to hold my hand was only to my wife and now to Arzoo. Even before, if I have ever caught the hand of Ahana, then believe me, I must have prepared myself a lot for that. We both walked a little while Ahana sat down on the side near a tree.

"Now we will go after a while. I am tired. You must be tired too" she said, taking out the water bottle from his bag.

"Now what am I to say to you that I am an army officer, it is such a normal thing for me to walk for so long." I thought and then sat near her. She was smiling just after seeing me.

"What happened?" I asked.

I am sorry. I should not have held your hand. You did not like it when I held your hand, right?"

"I only gave this right to my wife and now only my daughter, Arzoo has this right and no one else" i said looking at her

"you loved your wife so much?" she asked.

"very much. I could do anything for her. I wish I could have saved her. I had many dreams with her. I thought both of us together would take our first baby in our arms. I will prepare our child for school with him and to be honest have wild fantasies too with her"

Ahana Pov

.

Sid had a big smile on his face, talking about Anokhi. The smile that I have not seen till date. while he was talking, each of his words was related to Anokhi. To be honest I am jealous of her. It was known from Sid's words that he loved his wife a lot and still loves her. Believe me, I started falling in love with Sid's love for his wife. How anyone can love someone this much.

I felt more in love with Sid but soon his face expression turned into anger

"You know, I love my wife the most, but I also hate her the most. she just thought of herself and about Arzoo. but what about me? for once she didn't think of me. i hate her" he said and a lone tear escaped from his eyes

I could not understand anything, what I should answer him. I was only looking at him. Then he suddenly got up and started walking. Perhaps he wanted to hide both his tears and his pain. I also stood up and started walking with him. Both of us were silent and were just going away. That's when we heard the sound of a waterfall.

"Is there any waterfall nearby?" he asked, looking at me.

"yes. let's put our tents there only, today "

I started walking forward, he was following me. After few minutes we reached near waterfall

"wow. It's beautiful" he said. I looked at him, a smile had come on my face. We both sat on a stone near the waterfall.

The sound of water, and the beautiful butterflies around, the light drops of water on the face. That place was such that everyone would be relieved by coming. it was just peace.

"Have you ever been in a relationship with anyone?" he asked.

I looked at him and he was looking at the waterfall in front

"No. I didn't find anyone for whom I could feel anything. Except you." I said and this time he looked at me. we both were looking into each other eyes

"I loved Anokhi a lot. I can't forget her, even though she is not with me, but she is in my memory. Every moment she is in my thoughts." he said with teary eyes. It was only I who knew how much he was hurting me with every word of his. Nobody likes it when you start loving someone and they love someone else.

I did not respond to his word.. After some time we set up our own tent and then I arranged some wood and fired them with the help of a matchstick. In the whole process he was just looking at me. I could not understand why he was watching me. On the one hand he was saying that he loves her wife and cannot forget her and on the other hand he was watching me lovingly. and then after an hour he went to sleep and left me entangled in thoughts of him.

I was thinking about the moments we spent together. He loves his first wife, the same thing was bothering me. But the way they look at me and care for me. The way he touched me and that kiss. No, I should not think about him. He just said that he doesn't love me.

"Why is he so complicated? He always disturbs my mind and today I don't think so I am able to sleep because of him."
