Part Three – Two Breaths Apart
...This leaves him reeling in shock, in confusion and more than that, a question of what kind of relationship he really wants with Vidya...He quickly lets go of Vidya who is still in pain yet lingering in the warmth of his touch...And motions for her to leave...Vidya goes out....
Later in the evening, as Vidya is serving everyone dinner, Surilee comes inside. One look at Surilee and Vidya's smile fades, Surilee ignores the electric stares that Sagar's mum and Aniket are giving her, and sits right beside Sagar. Sagar's smile widens, and he leans over to the side and plants a kiss on her cheek. And then he puts an arm around her shoulders, and says "Mai aur Surilee New Year Goa main celebrate karna chahte hai, isiliye hum kal subha ki flight se Goa jaare hai.."
Vidya desperately tries to control her threatening tears, and leaves the dining room on the pretext of getting something from kitchen. Once inside the kitchen she breaks down and cries..."Hei Shambunaath, ab mai kya karoongi, inhe humara pyaar ka ehsaas kaise deelayenge, agar yeh Surilee ji ke saath akele Goa chale gaye, to yeh unke aur kareeb ajayenge, humme kuch na kuch to karna hi padega..." Vidya wipes away her tears, and she hears footsteps nearing the kitchen.. Chandra appears at the door, looking concerned...( Vidya helped Chandra learn the real truth of Harsh, his disgusting antics and the real reason of him living in the Singh Household, after that, Chandra and Vidya have became good friends) Chandra places a hand on Vidya's shoulder, who by now tries to act unaffected by Sagar's behavior.. "Vidya tum laak chupane ki koshish karo, par tumhara dil ka dard sabse chupa nahi hai, yeh asoo to tum pochlogi, par apna dil ka dard kaise meeta paogi jo bin asoo bahaye tumhare ankhon mein chalak rahi hai...?" Vidya turns around, and hugs Chandra, who consoles her...
It's late at night, and everyone is sleeping...Sagar however tosses and turns, and then finally gets up frustrated... He watches his clock strike two, and rubs his neck, and swallows trying to get rid of the dryness in his throat...he then decides to get himself a glass of water...He picks up a jug, but puts it back with a bang as he notices it's empty...The noise startles Vidya, and she gets up with a start, and she stifles a laugh as she watches Sagar desperately trying to catch a drop of water from the empty jug...Vidya thinks to herself "inko pyaas lagi hai, par na khud jakar leayenge apni pyaas meetane keliye, na woh kisi aur ko kahenge...inka kya hoga.." Vidya gets up and brings in a glass of water..
.Sagar looks at her, and like a cute angry child, faces away from her, but Vidya offers him the glass of water, Sagar makes a face, but nevertheless looks at the glass of water in Vidya's hands, and takes the glass, but a bit too fast, because the next second the glass of water spills on him...The icy cold water touches his skin, resulting in his white kurta to be transparent...Vidya quickly rubs the pallu of her saree on him without thinking...As she is doing this, Sagar watches her astonished...He wanted to scream don't touch me, go away, but couldn't resist looking at the creases of worry creasing her forhead when she was concerned for him, he couldn't seem to ignore the yearning in his heart, and the way she made him feel breathless...There, this is what made him breathless, when she caught his eye, and stopped trying to rub her saree on him...whenever she looked at him, his stomach made a somersault, and his heart skipped a beat....However, pushing his yearnings and thoughts aside he very rudely pushes her aside and goes to change....leaving a sad Vidya to her memories of their togetherness once upon a time...
The Next Morning
A very nervous Vidya grips her seat in fear, and shuts her eyes. Her face is so pale that she looks like she is about to puke..."Vidya ankhen kolo plane take off karchuka hai.." Vidya opens her eyes, and astonishedly looks out her window to find milky white clouds looming below....Vidya gets excited, but still grips her seat, unable to let go because of the fear that floats in her heart, the fear that she might fall down if she does let go of her seat... "Apko yaaken hai, ki yeh jo hum kam karne jaare hain, woh safal hoga? agar woh naraaz hogaye toh?"
Chandra looks at her, and rolls her eyes "Vidya pehle to tum mujhe aap pukarna bandh karo, mujhe apne naam se bulao – Chandra..dekho kithna asaan hai, doosri baath bekaar mein pareshaan hona chordo, aur theesri baath agar tum himmat yahi par kho dogi, toh phir jab Sagar ke saamne jaogi toh kya hoga?" Vidya nods her head "aap teek..." Chandra gives her a stare and Vidya hits the back of her head lightly "Shorry, Chandra tum teek kehri ho, mujhe apne aap par aur humare pyaar par bharosa rakna chahiye..." Chandra smiles and corrects Vidya "Shorry nahi, soo..ree.." Vidya after repeating it a lof of times, finally gets it "Sorry.."
In the beautiful watery bays of Goa, is located a very elegant five star hotel. Vidya is amazed, and excited, and wants to go look around...but Chandra drags her inside her hotel room. Vidya is even more amazed at the extremely large bed, beautiful scenery of the blue-green ocean outside the balcony, and the exquisite furniture... Vidya runs out into the balcony, and takes a deep breath in, inhaling the salty ocean air and lets the cool, breezy winds touch her skin....Vidya was not alien to a lot of water, as she was after all brought up near the river banks of Benares, but Benares and Goa were entirely different places...Where Benare's river banks were holy, Goa's beaches were where people came to have fun...Where Benares rivers were surrounded by temples, Goa's beaches were surrounded by exotic hotels...There were many more differences.. "Vid..yaa kya karahi hon, humme bohoth saara kaam karna hai, idhar aao.."
Chandra's yells interupt Vidya's thoughts, and she comes back inside to find Chandra spread out various cosmetics and accessories on the bed...Vidya is confused..."yeh sab kya hai..?" Chandra sighs...and comes to Vidya, and touches her hair...looks at her clothes, then writes something down in her notepad.... "Hair needs a trim, warddrobe needs a makeover, style needs to be changed..." Vidya amused, watches Chandra mumble things in English with her pen in her mouth... "Chandra aap kya soch rahi hai?" In reply, Chandra drags a bewildered Vidya and takes her to a hair salon...Vidya scared and anxious tries to protest as a hair dresser makes her sit in a chair, and plays with her hair... "Chandra yeh kya horaha hai..?" Chandra smiles, and writes down something and then looks up at Vidya... "tumhe mujh par bharosa hain na?" Vidya nods her head and tries to say something, but Chandra assures her again that she need not worry, and this is the way Sagar will become hers...
To be Continued... {Guys I know it's pretty boring right now, since there is no romance yet, but there will be romantic scenes in the next part...}
Preview: Are you ready for a makeover, Mrs. Sagar Singh, and are you ready to be shocked Mr. Sagar Singh...?
Keep smiling...

Part Four – Two Breaths Apart
"Chandra aap kya soch rahi hai?" In reply, Chandra drags a bewildered Vidya and takes her to a hair salon...Vidya scared and anxious tries to protest as a hair dresser makes her sit in a chair, and plays with her hair... "Chandra yeh kya horaha hai..?" Chandra smiles, and writes down something and then looks up at Vidya... "tumhe mujh par bharosa hain na?" Vidya nods her head and tries to say something, but Chandra assures her again that she need not worry, and this is the way Sagar will become hers...
Vidya tries on many different shoes, polished high heeled shoes, high cut boots, low cut boots, low heeled sandals, glittery sandals, simple sandals...She practices walking in them, but has to grip the wall for support since she's not used to some of the high heeled shoes...Chandra makes her buy some very expensive and pretty shoes...Then they decide to shop for clothes...Vidya uncomfortably tries on mini skirts, long flowing dresses, trousers, shirts, long fancy skirts...They buy many clothes too...Then they buy accessory matching each outfit...They've now been in Goa since three days...and haven't met Sagar yet....
Shift to Star Crest Hotel:
Sagar is sleeping soundly in his executive suite in Star Crest Hotel... A beautiful girl is standing on the shore of a sea green ocean...with her back facing to him...she turns around slowly, but he can't seem to recognize her, since she was so far away, he needed to inch closer...and closer...TRINNNGGGG....Sagar sleepily feels the side of his bed for his cell phone, but can't seem to find it...He gets up and foggily sees Surilee's name flashing on his cell phone.. "Haan bolo Surilee..." Sagar props his pillows up and leans back on them...He can literally hear Surilee's sharp nails ticking a table... "Sagar jaanu, tum kahan ho? kabse tumhara intezaar karahi hoon party mein.." Sagar takes a quick glance at his clock and is alarmed... "oh damn, che bajgaye, yeh nap lena hi nahi chahiye tha, Surilee sweetie mai abhi thayaar hokar atha hoon..bye"
After twenty minutes, Sagar checks himself out in the mirror...His faded blue jeans were a perfect match with his sleek black leather jacket, and his hair jelled up, looked hot....swinging his room keys around his finger, he proceeds towards the elevator...He gets in and the elevator is almost shut, when a black boot stops it, and it opens back again...The person walks in, leaving an indifferent Sagar stunned....Never had he seen such beauty like that of the female standing next to him...She looked pretty and hot in a sheer white dress, the whiteness of the dress seemed to glow on her face, her long diamonds earrings shimmered under the light, and her pretty pink fingernails caresses her straight loose hair...
Sagar can't help but uncontrollably be attracted to this woman....As if feeling Sagar's constant stare, the lady turns around, and stares at him questionably, her deep black eyes piercing into him like fire...Sagar looks away embarassedly....he peeps a glance back and notices her staring back at something worriedly, he gazed in the direction that she was looking, and noticed the lights flickering....and beep a sudden noise made them freeze....The lights went out, and they were stuck in the elevator...Sagar trying to be the brave man feels for the woman in the darkness and lightly touches her shoulder, which he felt shiver under his touch, and says "Aap fikar math kijiye, main hoon na.." The female turns in the direction of his voice... Sagar flicks on his lighter and its sudden steady blaze lightens the entire elevator, which results in Sagar and the woman gazing at each other intently through the light of his lighter...
Sagar who is by now lost in the female's eyes, feels his pulse racing and the innocense in the female's eyes seem to tell him something, as if he knew her, he knew her from somewhere and shared a connection with... beep....as if life has come back to earth, the elevator shakily begins opening, as the lights turn back on...but it seems like a dream came back into reality, and Sagar and the woman move away from one another and exit out of the elevator slowly, each conscious of the other's presence...The woman is about to walk away, when Sagar calls out "waise aap ka naam kya hai?" The female turns around slowly, and a beautiful smile plays on her lips, she looks at Sagar and says "Aap mujhe jaante hai.." and then she walks away, leaving the sound of her heels to click through the lobby's corridor...
Meanwhile Sagar is yet to recover from the shock of hearing the female's voice, his mind switches back and forth between two pictures, one of the simple and meek Vidya, and another of this sexy and pretty Vidya...he pinched himself hard, almost leaving a red mark on his skin...
To be continued...
I know everything seems so speeded up, but I knew you all would get bored if I lunge into details of every event, so I tried to summarize things, so that I can start S-V romance soon!
More romance coming up in the next part!
Keep smiling...
