Imagining every moment I had spent with Sani until now in my dreams and reality, I answered her with a sigh,
“Sarah was a real charmer. She had an enigmatic personality. She could easily daze me into herself. It wasn’t just talking. Even silence felt heaven in her company.”
While thinking to myself,
‘Silence was a leisure one could only ask for with Sarah around.’
Now how the fate had turned. The girl I was doubtful would ever like me or for whom I would fall so hard, was currently sitting in front of me, while I was lost in her thoughts.
“And she still rules your fantasies.” Sani finished in a plain voice.
“What?!” I gaped at her astonished.
“You have still got that dreamy look on your face. You were even now fantasizing about her!” Sani snapped getting out of my arms and opening the car door.
“Hey, what are you...”
But she beat me to it, saying curtly,
“You know I wasn’t born yesterday.” She stated before getting out of the car.
Oh God...!
I jumped out too, stumbling to catch her.
“Hey hey wait...” I caught her hand just at the turn of waterfront.
I huffed out a breath,
“You know; now I feel like I have a girlfriend. From the way you are making me run behind you all the time.”
My innocent Sani's face constricted with guilt,
“All the time? I...uh...sorry?”
Why shouldn’t I take advantage, if only to save my relationship?
Giving her a forbidding look I nodded genuinely,
“Hmm...It’s okay.”
I pulled her towards the nearby steps overlooking the beautiful sea.
Sani sighed at the fresh air and the view of open sea. For me it was complete bliss with my arm around her shoulders as we watched the waves in silence.
The next moment, all my bliss vanished, as Sani pushed at my side, “Why was I running in the first place? Because of you and I am the one who said sorry! You have to say sorry.”
End of my illusion...all right.
Bringing on a cajoling smile, I rubbed her arm soothingly so she won't raise it to hit me again.
Softly I told her the truth or at least most of it,
“That’s why I have come sweetheart, to say sorry and to confess that I was thinking about you. I was describing how I feel with you. I just took Sarah's name to make you go red in jealousy. I just want you and no one else.”
Sanu smiled pulling on her lower lip, not even realizing she was doing it and I couldn’t help but just stare, wishing to pull at it instead.
The moment felt so good and complete. This relationship felt perfect. How easily we were able to come over the glitches and return to our place, to one another...
