Sidushka OS || A Quiet Storm || Siddhant | Anushka | YPNTKH

"Anu this thing you are doing isn't right" Ridhi told Anushka. 

She had dropped her in the airport. Everyone in the family were upset with Anushka for her decision to go to America all of a sudden. So no one else came to drop her.

"I know you're upset with Sidhant but why are you doing this to us" Ridhi questioned her. 

Anushka just sat quiet. 

"You think going away is going to solve this, huh?" She said shaking her shoulders. 

She didn't even wince she sat still, a tear left her eye, she knew Ridhi was right, she went away for seven years, but in those seven years there hadn't been a day when she didn't think about him.

"Thank you Babhi for coming with me, I know you came here against rest of the family" she said wiping the tears, "But I have to go" she said getting down the car.

Ridhi knew she couldn't say or do anything, Anushka was stubborn. 
So, she hugged her tight and bid adieu to her. 

"Be careful driving home, it's late" Anushka told her , Ridhi asked her not to worry. She took her leave. 

Anushka walked towards the airport.

She took her boarding pass and was about to move to her gate. 

Just then she gets a call, it was an unknown caller, she picked it up

"Hello?" 

"Anushka ji Main Sweety Bol raha hoon" 

Anushka was surprised that Sweety ji called. 

"Sweety ji, haan tell me" she said.

"Anushka ji, Sidhant Bhau ji is missing he's been gone for hours" he cried.

Anushka's heart raced as soon as she heard his name. He's missing? But where could he have gone? Is he okay? All these questions ran through her head in a span of few seconds. 

"Hello...Anushka ji" Sweety said on the phone.

Anushka snapped out of her thoughts and said 

"I don't know where he is, I'm sorry" she told him.

"Oh no problem, do tell me if you come to know, Gayatri Aunty is worried" he said putting the phone down. 

Anushka sat down on the nearest chair she finds and cups her face and says to herself
"You don't let me stay, Neither will you let me go peacefully, uhhh!" 

She was worried about him, she would give anything to have him right next to her safe and sound.

A song plays which happens to be so apt to the situation.

Sau Dard Hain Sau Rahatein
Sab Mila Dil Nashin
Ek Tuhi Nahieee...

Anushka hits her head with her hand, 

"Bhagwan why?"she shouts catching everyone's attention.She gets up ignoring everyone else there. Tears her boarding pass and throws it in the closest bin and runs outside. 

"Taxi!" She catches one , reaches Sidhant's house and barges in, 

"Did you find him?" She says.

Gayatri was sitting on a chair holding her head. Purva was walking here and there. 

"No we haven't found him yet" Sweetyji said in distress.

"That boy's leg just recovered and he disappears like this" Gayatri says to Anushka crying. 

"Don't worry I'll find him Gayatri Aunty, I promise" Anushka tells Gayatri putting her hand on hers. 

"Purva give me your bike's keys" she tells her. 

Purva gives her keys to her. 

"Anushka it just started raining and it's late it might be better if you stay" she said closing the window. Gayatri also agrees.

"Don't worry about me" she said rushing out the door.

"Wait! Your helmet" Purva shouted. 

But it was too late Anushka left.

The rain didn't look like it was gonna stop anytime soon. It was a huge storm.Anushka was all soaked but she still drove. 

She searched everywhere like a mad girl. He wasn't in office nor at the dhaba. She asked people wherever she could, giving them his description. 

She stopped her bike and she burst into tears.

 "Stupid Sidhant!" She said, why was she even searching for him, who told her to go away, she thought to herself. She hated it so much but she just couldn't help it, she was in love with this guy.

She looked up the sky, and closed her eyes as the rain poured. 

Right then it struck her, she knew exactly where he was. She drove as fast as she could. 

She got down her bike, there she saw a man in a white shirt. And she knew exactly who that was. He was looking down the lake. She put her hand on his shoulder, he turned back. His eyes were all red, he would've been crying.

She threw her hand on his cheek, slapping him hard.

Sidhant couldn't believe his eyes. There she stood right in front of him. And she just slapped him. He put his hand on his cheek.

She then took him by the collar and shaked him "Why? Why Sidhant Sinha?" She burst out crying. 

She banged his chest as hard as she can and he let her. She just cried and kept saying one thing "Why?". 

She finally gave up resting her head on his chest and her arms wrapped around him. He slowly put his arms around her. Even when it was raining so badly they felt warmth in each other's arms. 

Anushka slowly let loose and was about to say something. Before she said anything Sidhant but a finger on her lip. 

And slowly cupped her face and let his lips meet hers. Their lips moved as the rain dropped in harmony. This moment was theirs nothing else mattered. They were lost until this moment but they found home in each other's heart. 

Sidhant slowly let loose and said "I love you, I really do and I'm sorry, really really sorry". 

"I love you too" she said looking into those eyes, she could see love, the love he had for her. 

She forgave him, she didn't even have to say it. She smiled and he understood and hugged her tight.

"Let's go home now, Gayatri Aunty is worried" she said.

"By the way I am driving the scooty you're sitting behind me" she said giggling. 

"Okay as you wish Ma'am" he said sitting behind her and hugging her tight. Anushka smiled. 

They drove home. Things were different from then, they stopped hiding from each other. The Storm still went on but the silence in between was theirs.

The End.
