Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Sid Pov

.

I came and sat near the waterfall. Ahana's words were swirling in my mind

"Not this time Sid. Not this time. I will not fall in this trap of yours. No matter how hard you try but now you will never be able to win my heart. I hate you."

.

Sahil came and sat beside me. I had tears in my eyes remembering Ahana's condition.

"Sid" he called my name.

"I broke her completely. In whose eyes I never wanted to see tears, today she had so many tears in her eyes because of me.. I hurt her a lot. She used to have blind trust in me and what I did? I have broken not only her trust but also her'' I stammered.

Why are you blaming yourself.. If anyone were in your place then he would have done the same thing. Please stop blaming yourself and anyway we can't change the past so, pay attention to the present... the trust you broke, build it back. win her heart again" he said.

"I can't.. she clearly said I can't win her heart again. she will leave me and i can't live without her"

"She said and you agreed.. I didn't know my friend would give up so easily. You haven't lost any battle till date, then how can you lose your own Lioness?" he said. I wiped my tears and looked at him.

"It will take time to win her heart again but believe me you can.. " he said and went away. I took a breath and went to Ahana. My eyes went to her, she was crying sitting on the side. I went and sat beside her.

"Stop crying" I said... Hearing my voice, she looked at me.

"You must be happy to see me cry like this.. right?" she mocked.

"If I was happy, why would I tell you to stop crying?" I fired back. She looked at me angrily. I swear to god, If everything was all right then I would have kissed her deeply and passionately. She looks so cute when she cries and gives me an angry glance. But her tears cause a strange pain inside my heart. I want to hug her tightly, bury her in my arms and protect her from everyone but I can't because right now I'm the reason behind her tears. she wiped her tears with her shirt sleeve correction with my shirt sleeves which she was wearing..

.

"I have to change your bandage. can i?" I asked. She didn't say anything and was just looking at me. I took out first aid from my bag and started changing her bandage. Ahana's eyes were only on me and I was bandaging her injury as carefully as I could.

"Aah" she hissed..

"Sorry, It will hurt a little" I said and started blowing on his injury.

"It's paining" she said

"it almost done" I muttered

After bandaging on her head, I looked at her, she was still looking at me only.

"What happened?" I asked. she nodded in no and turned his eyes..

"Ahana" she looked back at me.

"I have to change the bandage of another injury that you have on your chest"

"Are you talking about the injury that you have inflicted?" she mocked. I didn't reply to her and started opening two buttons of her shirt but she grabbed my hand. I looked at her.

"You have lost the right to touch me, Sid," she said. I took my hand back from behind. I didn't understand what to do or tell him. the hatred for myself in her eyes was now getting out of my tolerance.

"Please don't talk like that.. it's getting out of tolerance for me. " I said and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I can't even tolerate seeing you, but I have to. Just like that, you should also face both my words and my hatred" She yelled. She took the first aid from my hand before I told her anything and started changing the bandage of her injury. I must say This girl is very stubborn. It hurts but she won't let me help. After changing her bandage she took out the bottle from the bag and washed her hands with water then without looking at me, she lay down facing the other side. I put the first aid box back in my bag then went out and washed my hands with the water of the waterfall, came back and sat next to Ahana who was lying with her eyes closed. I was just looking at him when she opened her eyes and looked at me. We both were just looking at each other silently. After some time, she closed her eyes. I lay down beside her and I did not know when I fell asleep looking at her

Ahana Pov

.

Time was passing.. I myself do not know how long I had been living in this cave with Sid. He used to take care of me. Despite my taunts, he talks to me with love. no matter how much i hated him but he only loves me. Sometimes I used to say a lot of bad things to hurt him or her but still he does not say anything to me, just silently listening to everything. Now I am also starting to feel that he really loves me but even after wanting I am unable to forget the deception given by him. Whenever I see my chest injury, I remember the moment when he pointed his gun at my forehead..

Hold on, he had pointed his gun at my forehead, so how did my chest get shot? How did I not notice such a big thing in anger. I remembered what he told me

"I didn't shoot you, it was Rocky.. Trust me, I can't even think of hurting you"

"Sid was repeatedly saying that he didn't shoot at me but I didn't believe what he said." I thought and a tear rolled down from my eyes. I was lost in my thoughts. That's when I felt a hand wipe my tears. I know it belongs to whom. I looked at my side and saw Sid sitting next to me.

"What happened ? Why are you crying?" he asked worriedly. I did not give any answer to his words, just lowered my eyes.

"Tell me what happened?" he asked again, holding my hand..

"I don't want to tell you anything. Please leave me in my condition. Please.. Is it necessary for you to be around me all the time.?" I said rudely and took my hand out of his hold.

"I can't leave you alone Ahana. Everyone outside wants to kill you. Right now I have no way except hiding you here but I promise that soon I will prove that you are innocent till then you have to hide here"

His voice was telling, how worried he is for me.. Every time I realize how much he loves me but I am not able to trust Sid even if I want to. I was gazing at him. He lovingly cupped my face and kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry lifeline, you have to bear so much. I'm really sorry, '' he said. nowadays he used to call me lifeline.. his lifeline and only this word is enough for me to give him another chance and fall for him again.

"Why did you pretend to love? Why did you cheat on me.. why?" I stammered while crying.

"I was compelled by Ahana. You don't believe me but the truth is I really love you Ahana. After coming to the forest, I never told any lies to you.. never. I agree whatever happened before coming here was my plan, in fact the letter which Zoya gave you in the name of Anokhi was also part of my plan." he confessed. I looked at him shockingly.

"I know after knowing the truth you will start hating me more but today I want to tell you the whole truth from the beginning. Remember when we saw each other for the first time in Zoya's baby shower" he mumbled with a smile on his face. Remembering that moment, a smile came on my face too. I just nodded yes.

"That's when I was attracted to you. Anokhi was my everything. After her death, I had only Aarzoo for which I was trying to live but after seeing you, I felt that even after the death of Anokhi, there is still a feeling in me. I have thought of you every day since that day and used to keep trying to get to know about you with one or the other excuse from Zoya. Either Mission or Arzoo and when not both, only you were in my thoughts.

I was just staring at him. Only I know how happy I am from his words. it means what I felt for him he also felt the same. He also felt the same spark. He used to think of me like I used to think of him. He looked at me and held my hand.

"Frankly speaking, now when I remember the old thing, I would have realized that I was in love with you long ago. I don't believe in love at first sight but I fall for you."

I didn't understand what to say. I was only looking at him and had tears in my eyes. I held his hand tightly but he released his hand and curled his eyes down.

"But I'm sorry whatever happened after that was all a lie" He said. What he wanted to say about my first kiss, my first love, the moment we spent together in his house was all a deception.

"Everything was a pretence. everything"
