Chapter 54: chapter 54

Sanjana's POVWhen I was in thoughts, I again received his call..I accepted his call this time but remained silent "Even he remained silent without speaking..I don't know for how many minutes, just listening to each other's breath..."Still angry?? ",he broke the silence.."Hmmmmm", I replied."Can me meet tomorrow?? ",he asked "Why should I meet you?? I am angry .  I will not??", I pretended.. in fact I was dying to meet him.."Sanjana,I am leaving for the U.S.A tomorrow, I will be back just three days before our wedding.." he said....Why are you going to the U.S suddenly??"Not suddenly, actually I was supposed to go last week, but postponed it because of Kriti's wedding..So can we meet??""Where ??", I asked.."My sweetheart is very furious with me , so I  am thinking  I will cool her down with an  ice-cream. So let's meet at cream stone.. I smiled at his reply and agreed..*******Next day, I came out of the house to take an auto to  reach the ice -cream parlour.but later heard auto' s are on strike due to increase in fuel prices..I even tried to book a cab, but even cabs are on strike..When I was about to call Aditya to pick me up, I heard the honk of a car..I turned to curse the driver but was surprised to see Sanjay in the car.."Sanjana, what are you doing in the middle of the road??""oh!! Hi, I was checking for the auto but came to know they are on strike..", I said.."Where do you want to go?? Come, I will drop you.""No, no ,I will  call my friend to pick me up.. , you please carry on, you must be going to work..", I said."So ,am I not your friend??", he asked.."Hey don't say that, it's  just that I didn't want to trouble you. ", I said.."By the time your friend comes to pick you up, it will be late and do you want to wait till then in the scorching sun.. I think it's a bad idea", he said..I was struggling to say no to him , but he already opened the car  door for  me..He might feel bad if I say no, so I reluctantly agreed and got into his car..There was silence between us for some time.. He was driving and I was looking out..I broke the silence asking," any news from Kabir, Did you meet him??"yeah, I thought of meeting him but he said, he is in Australia to attend a meeting, he will be back next Sunday" ,he said.."Did he take Nidhi along with him?? ",I asked..I don't think so, when I called him he said, " he is at a club with his  friends".. if Nidhi would have been with him, he would not leave her alone at the hotel room and go out for a party", he said.."If he really wanted to improve their relationship,  he would have taken her along with him..", I thoughtI started worrying about Nidhi" , I decided to call her once I got back home.."ummmm,  Sanjana, how did you meet Anika ?? ",He asked out of the blue.."Oh !!! Anika , I worked as her assistant earlier and later we became friends", I replied.."So do you know her??",I asked.."Yeah, I met her at one party", he said ."You might have met her during the wedding also  then", I asked..he sighed  and said, "yeah I met her"There was disappointment in his tone..I felt like something happened between him and Anika..Before I could ask him any further questions, I arrived at the destination..I thanked him and got out of the car….Aditya's POVI saw Sanjana sitting at the corner  table and was busy with the menu..I took a deep breath and walked towards her. She was angry with me so she didn't smile when she saw me..I took the menu from her hands and ordered two  dry fruit delights .I saw her searching for some random spot to fix her gaze..Few moments ago I was even furious with her but controlled myself..I placed my hand on hers and said, " Look at me"..She didn't.."Sanjana, please look at me", I asked her pleadingly.She slowly looked into my eyes..."I am sorry..", I  said..She didn't reply..Very soon the ice-cream I ordered came..She took her cup and took a few bites without looking at me.I was observing her calmly with a smile on my face.. She looked so adorable when she was eating..when she put down her spoon, I took her ice-cream cup and ate with her spoon..She blushed when she saw me."Eat your ice-cream , why did you take mine?? ",she asked..I didn't reply, but gave her ice-cream back..I wanted to see whether she would use the same spoon or not..She waited for a while before eating, staring at her cup..and "yes", she ate with the same spoon.. A smile appeared on my lips.. She soon finished it and I forwarded my ice cream too.."Is it ok for you? , if I put on weight  eating too many Ice-creams.."I am strong enough to lift you even if you add another 50 kg to your weight..she blushed when she heard me.. if it would not have been a public place ,I would have squeezed her beautiful lips.."It's so awkward Aadi, don't stare at me" she said blushing..I moved forward ,took her hands in mine and said, " Sanjana, I am sorry"She said " it's ok" finally..I smiled and said " thank you" So ready to become Mrs. Aditya,..She nodded, smiling and blushing.. "But I thought we will shop together and you are going out of the country before the wedding? she pouted.."Hey!! sorry sweet heart, I will try to come as early as possible..She replied with "hmmmm"..I took out my credit card and said, " Buy whatever you like.. I want you to look like a princess on our wedding day.. "Sanjana rejected my card and said," How can I take this?? "No ,I will buy with my own money..""Oh! really!! you mean to say that I am not yours?", I asked.."Why do  you  even say that??", she asked with her furrowed eyebrows.."We are gonna become one Sanju, there is nothing like yours and mine from  now on.. what is mine it's yours too.. so just take this and do all the wedding shoppingWhatever money you have in your account, just transfer it into Rekha aunty's account.. As far as I know ,she will not take money from you ,once we get married and I don't want her to do a job to look after herself..So you better transfer everything you have in your account, so that it will be useful for her in future. "*****Sanjana's POVI didn't think that far about mom, but Aditya had..There were tears in my eyes when I heard him.I took a card from him and said," thank you"..He smiled and said," come let's go"..Very soon we reached home. He  stroked my hair and said, " Wait for me, very soon I will make you mine completely"..I blushed and said, " will wait for you, try to return early.. I will miss you.."He cupped my face, kissed  on my forehead and said, " I love you and will miss you too.. ,but I promise I will make time to call you everyday"I nodded ,reluctantly left the car and walked towards my home..
