Thanks for being patient. I'm not getting time to write. I thought of publishing last week but got stuck with some office work.

I've written a few questions below after the chapter. Please do answer them.

Here we go..

---chapter 44----

Sanjana Pov:

My life is nothing less than a roller coaster ride. I had experienced many things in my life. Happiness, freedom, depression, anxiety and finally love. I waited for someone who will love me unconditionally and I'm lucky that I got Sid. My first crush. My first love. Though I'm not his first but he is my first and last.

I looked at the handsome who is sleeping next to me. The ray of sunlight fell on his face and he frowned. Thin lines were formed in his forehead. His hair is in totall mess yet he looked sexy. His strong arm is around my waist holding me gently like he is protecting his precious toy. I don't know why but I have strong urge to kiss his pout lips.

Not kiss. Atleast a peck. A war started between my conscience and heart.

"What if he wakes up?" asked my conscience.

"A peck won't disturb his slumber " argued my heart. I decided to follow my heart. I lifted my head and moved close to his face. I closed my eyes and moved a little close to his face. His breathe is fanning more my lips. I brought my lips close and suddenly I heard his voice. My eyes popped out from it's sockets.

Shit!!! Shit!! I'm dead now.

"What are you trying to do,Kitten?" he asked in a husky voice. I never ever heard his kind of voice before. It was so husky.

"No... thing" That was my only answer. I was about to get up but his arm around my waist got tighten. He is looking at me hungrily. Why the hell did I try to kiss him?

"Where are you going? I don't like incomplete things. Complete what you've started" he said pulling me close to him. With in second he was on top of me caging me completely with his hands and legs.

"Huh? I didn't start anything. I need to go" I said shuttering and he chuckled. He was looking incredibly cute and hot. What's wrong with my hormones? Why am I thinking like that? Suddenly I felt his hand moving inside my shirt. God!! My heart skipped a beat with his touch. He was looking at me teasingly. I closed my eyes to control myself. I felt his hand moving upside. I got into my senses and jerked away his hand. My heart is thumping so fast. He is now laughing looking at my face.

"You look so cute, love" he said in between his laughs. I cursed myself for my thought of kissing him.

"Now kiss me" he said coming close to me.

"What? Noo!! Please let me go" I said and he leaned more.

"I'll only leave you when I get my kiss" he said huskly and I rolled my eyes. He moved a little close now I can feel his breathe on my face. He immediately closed his and waited for me to react. I just smiled at his act. Should I really kiss him? I ignored my thoughts and cupped his face. I closed my eyes and gave him a small peck on his lips.

"Done. Now let me go" I said and he opened his eyes with an annoying look.

"I asked for a kiss and what did you do. I didn't felt anything change in my heart beat" he said and that brought a smile on my face.

"Heart beat? Will my kiss do that kind of effect to you?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"God!! You really don't know how I feel when you're near to me. Even your touch effects me. My heart goes jumping and dancing with your mere touch. I really love when you are near to me" he said and I don't know what got into me. I sealed his lips with mine. He was shock with my bold move but later gained his senses back. He tilted his head sideways and fighted with my tongue. My hands were in his messy hair and his one hand is in my hair and other is roaming on my bare waist. We broke apart when we are out of breathe.

"Go Kitten. If you're still here. I don't know what I'll do. I'll lost my control for sure. You got me on my knees" he said getting up from me. I chuckled looking at his face. He was trying to control all his feelings and emotions for me.

I got up and walked towards him. I placed my hand on his shoulder and made him turn towards me. I started laughing looking at his face.

"You're enjoying this. Aren't you?" he asked and that made me laugh more. I held my hands on my stomach and continued laughing. After few seconds, I came back to my senses and saw him staring at me in the most beautiful way.

His eyes only showed love for me not lust. He immediately pulled me towards him into a tight hug.

"I love the way you laugh and I will enjoy it more when I'm the reason" he whispered in my ears.

"Let's get ready Kitten. We need to go out" he said breaking the hug. I'm missing his warmth already. He kissed me on my cheeks and left to the washroom.

I don't know where he is planning to take me today. But I remembered him saying that I need to be strong. I ignored my thoughts and decided to get ready in another room.

I took my clothes and went to the other room. I did my morning chores and wore
my clothes. I decided to wear something Indian today. It's been a long time I worn Indian styled clothes. I actually love wearing Indian dresses.

Sidharth Pov:

I'm blessed to start my day like this. She is becoming more comfortable and bold these days. And I love this shade of her. Today, I'm going to take her to that place where she can see her mom. I informed her father and he said he will join us there.

I got ready in simple T-shirt and Jeans. I went downstairs and I saw Miss.Cat doing something delicious in kitchen.

"Good morning Miss.Cat" I said giving her a warm smile and she wished me back with a smile.

"Did Sanj came down?" I asked and she nodded in no.

"Okay. What are you making for breakfast?" I asked her.

"Scrambled eggs and toasted bread" she said smiling.

"Okay. Please arrange it. I would love to have my breakfast upstairs" I said and she nodded. She arranged everything in a plate and gave to me.

"Thank you Miss. Cat" I said.

"Enjoy your breakfast Sidharth " she said and I went upstairs. I opened the door and my eyes are blessed to see my angle dressed in Red anarkali dress. I never thought she would prefer Indian dresses. My throat got dried up seeing her curves. She is looking exactly like a goddess. Her top fitted her curves most perfectly. Her earings are dancing when she moved her head sideways. I loved the sight which is infront. I just want grab her into my arms and ravish her beauty. I'm whipped completely by her.

"Ahem!!" I heard her voice breaking my train of thoughts. I saw her looking at me with her eyebrows raised. A smirk is playing on her lips.

"Um.. I brought breakfast for us" I said placing the food on the bed side table. She followed me and looked at the breakfast. I saw vermilion in her hair and a nupital chain on her neck. She looked like a newly wedded bride.

I saw her wearing this chain many times but not vermilion. I thought she doesn't like being a typical Indian girl so I never asked her to put those things.

Even I don't care about these things. All I care is her love for me.

"Thanks" she said with a beautiful smile. Fuck!! I can't resist myself anymore. Why is she looking so gorgeous and hot at the same time. I pulled her towards me and kissed her hard. She gasped a little but allowed me to explore her sweetness.

"You look so beautiful " I said after few seconds. She blushed and we had our breakfast. We decided to leave as we are getting late.

We both got into the car and I don't know my heart is not fine. I can feel something wrong is going to happen. I don't want my love to get into any heartbreak. She had gone through a lot in past. I looked at her she was busy looking at the passing sceneries. I know she wants to know where I'm taking her but she is stopping herself from asking.

"You can even talk to me. I'm getting bored" I signed and she turned towards me.

"Between why so different today? I mean with your dressing style. I never thought you've some Indian styled clothes. I never saw you wearing this after our marriage " I said.

"I do love Indian style" she said smiling.

"Please wear these more. You will look more beautiful. Even please try sarees too" I said and she nodded. Soon we reached the place and she turned the head towards me.

Her eyes are asking many questions. I took a deep breathe and got down from my car. I walked towards her side and opened the door for her. She got down and I cupped her face with my hands.

Sanjana Pov:

He helped me to get out from the car and cupped my face. His eyes are showing lot of emotions. He is so concerned.

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked at my surroundings. We were at the entrance of a mansion. I saw a car inside the mansion.

"Sanj, nothing is going to happen. I'll be there with you no matter what. I'll always hold your hand and you are not alone in this world. Trust me that I love you and will keep loving you" I heard his words. He kissed my forehead.

"I don't want to say anything else. Let's just face this" he said taking my hand into his. I feel like something wrong is going to happen. He took me inside the mansion and I saw my Dad and Edward waiting for us.

A smile occupied my lips seeing my family after a long time. I looked at Sid and he already left my hand.

"Your family is waiting for you, Kitten. You must go and hug them" he said smiling. Immediately, I ran towards my dad and hugged him tightly.

"Missed you, Dad" I said and I realized that I'm crying.

"Missed you too, Sanj. But I'm really happy for you. You are so blessed to have Sid in your life" he said kissing my forehead. He is actually right. I went to Edward and hugged him too. He is really a great friend come brother.

"When are you getting married? Huh?" I asked and he blushed. Dad looked at us raising his eye brows. I think my dad doesn't know about his relationship with Tanya.

"Okay, let's all get inside" Edward said and we all nodded. As soon as I went inside I saw an old man in the Sofa. Who is he?

"So she is your daughter Sanjana?" he asked getting up and my dad nodded his head.

"Sanj, he is Dr. Steve" Dad introduced him to me. I smiled and gave him a handshake.

"Sanjana, I did a mistake in hiding some important matter from you" Dad started saying. What are they talking about? It's scaring me. I looked at Sid and he nodded his head to control myself. Later Sid came towards me and held my hand. I don't know why but I felt good.

"About what Dad?" I asked gaining some strength.

"Your mom" he said shocking me. What are they talking about? What did they hide from me? Calm down, Sanj. You need to find out this. I thought.

"Uncle, I'll tell her everything. Don't stress yourself" Sid said. What ? He also know about this.

"Sanj, listen to me your mom is suffering from Prosopagnosia. It's like a brain disorder. The people suffering with this will forget everything and also everyone. Including their children and life partner. This is very rare disease" he said breaking my heart. Though my mom is away from me but I really love her and miss her. How is she now? Is she getting better? I want to see her?

"Where is she, Sid? Why did you hide it from me Dad?" I asked breaking down.

"Your mom didn't left you,Sanj. Your father kept her here in this mansion and she is getting treated with the best doctors. Your mom took a promise from Uncle that's the reason why he didn't tell you before. Stay strong Sanj. Please atleast for me" he said looking into my eyes.

"What uncle did is for your own good. You were in depression at the time. He didn't want to risk your life too. You are his only princess he can't see you broken that's why he didn't tell you " Sid said looking at my Dad. But it's hurting me. I can't digest this fact. I never thought my dad will do something like this. I never.

I couldn't utter any word. I just want to go and see my mom. I wiped my freely falling tearing and released a breathe.

"Where is she, Doctor? I asked turning my head to the Doctor.

"I'll guide you. Please come" he said and he took us to upstairs. We went to a room and I heard some sounds from that room.

"She is inside. She may not recognize you as her daughter. We tried showing your pictures everytime but I'm not sure whether she can recognize you or not" he said. He took us inside there I saw her after a long time. Her eyes are having dark circles. She looked pale and thin. She stood near the window and looking outside.

"Good morning Mrs. Joshi" Dr.Steve said and she turned towards us. She gave us all a unknown look.

"Me? I'm your doctor Mrs.Joshi. We met this early morning. Wait!! I'll show you our pictures" he went towards my mom and browsed in his phone to show pictures. God!! How can you do this to her? She was so lively. How can you turn her like this? My tears didn't stop seeing her condition. Sid pulled me into a side hug and cried silently.

"Yes Doctor. I know you very well. No need to show these pictures" she said smiling a little. It's been a long time I saw those smiles.

"Come. There are some visitors to your mansion. Don't you want to greet them?" he asked and she looked at us.

She walked towards us and stood in front of me.

"Do we met before? I mean I keep forgetting things so tell me whether we met before?"she asked.

"I'm your daughter, Sanjana Sidharth" I said and hugged her tightly. She stood still for a second and hugged me back. I could hear her sobs. I broke the hug and wiped her tears.

"I'm so unlucky. I don't even remember my family" she said sobbing. My dad came and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry for you, Sweetheart. But don't worry even if you forget we are there to remember you" he said kissing her forehead. She didn't recognize him too but didn't ask anything.

"Who are those two handsome guys?" she asked looking at Sid and Edwin.

"Aunty, I'm Sidharth. Your's daughter husband. And he is Edward, your son" Sid said and she smiled.

"Please take care of my daughter. She is so pure and innocent" Mom said and hugged Sid. He nodded his head lovingly.

After some time we all went down and I saw maid bringing some snacks for us.

"Mom, I'll make something for lunch" I said and got up.

"Why Sanj? We have maids working for us" Dad said but I ignored him. I don't know why I don't want to talk to him right now. I went to the kitchen and started chopping vegetables.

"Sanj!!" I heard Edward calling me. I ignored him too. Even he hid this important thing from me.

"I'm so sorry, yaar. I really am" he said in a crooked voice.

"You've betrayed me. I asked you to search for her in every country. Do you remember what you said? Huh? I hate you, brother. You did everything behind my back. You never thought of sharing this with me" I said wiping my tears.

"Sanj, I really hurted you a lot. I'm sorry" he said and hugged me sideways.

"I love you, sis. Please forgive your stupid brother " he said kissing my forehead.

"It will take some time, brother" I said looking down. He smiled and left the place. How can I forget so easily? I need some time. I resumed my work and prepared simple lunch for us. I saw my mom and Sid talking and laughing. I looked at my Dad and he was looking at me with teary smile.

"Lunch is ready. Let's have" I said and maids arranged everything on the table. We all started having food and I decided to brake the silence.

I know I can't be angry with my parents. They did something bad but what happened in he past is past only. I don't want to leave my mother alone now. I'll take care of her from now on.

"Mom, from today you're staying with us. Not here alone. We will go back to London and Dr.Steve will come there to check you" I said.

"My wife will stay with me in our home. There's no need to hide this from now on. I'll take care of her till I'm alive. And I'll be at peace if we live together" Dad said and I looked away. I can't separate them. It's because of me they stayed away from each other. Not anymore.

"Your wish Dad. But I'll come to keep a check on you" I said without looking at him. I really don't want to talk to him atleast for now and at the same time I can't be angry with him too.

Everything was set. I packed all my mom's stuff and maids took them down. Finally, my mom will stay with us. I thought. I was checking the cupboards once again and I heard my dad's voice.

"My princess is angry with me right" he said and I turned towards me.

"I'm sorry Sanj. I did everything as your mom wished for. She took a promise from me to not to say anything to you. That's why I kept it hidden" Dad said with tears in his eyes.

"But how could you Dad? I would've held your hand to support you. I would've shared your pain too" I said crying with him. I walked towards him and hugged.

"You're most important to me, darling. I thought you would be more devastated. I kept my mouth shut" he said hugging me.

"Please forgive your daddy" he said and I hummed. I broke the hug and wiped my tears. We went down and I saw everyone smiling looking at us.
