Sidharth sat on couch in hall waiting for her to return. In a minute or so Shehnaaz entered there again with dry towel in her hand. He was staring at her, couldn't stopped himself from doing so. After so many days Shehnaaz was finally there, infront of his eyes. He just wanted to take her in his arms and never let her go again.
"Sidharth, Do you have any dry clothes? If you stay in wet clothes you will fall ill" said worried Shehnaaz to him, handling him the towel. He could see the worry and concern in her eyes and felt instant rush of happiness through him.
"Ha car mein hai, I'll go n get them" Sidharth answered her question, Shehnaaz took the umbrella from stand and gave him, Sidharth smiled at her caring nature, Shehnaaz was like this only from start but its him who took time to see it. Sidharth went outside the house to get his clothes and mobile phone, after locking his car Sidharth come inside the house.
Shehnaaz showed him room where he can change his clothes and then she went in kitchen to prepare hot coffee and some snacks for him knowing he must be hungry. After changing his clothes Sidharth come out of the room but when he saw her in kitchen he went there.
"Shehnaaz, can i use for your phone? I have to call my assistant, he will send car for me" Sidharth said to her gaining her attention. Shehnaaz frowned thinking he will leave in this bad weather. Even after their separation her concern, love for him didn't changed.
"Aap aaj raat yahin ruk jaayiye, weather is not good outside. Kal subah chale jana" Shehnaaz told him nervously hoping he wont turn down her offer, she didn't wanted him to go out again in this bad weather. Sidharth smiled inwardly, he had expected this reaction from her. He silently nodded.
They both stood their in awkward silence, Shehnaaz tried hard to concentrate on her work but his penetrating gaze was making it impossible. It confused her too, her husband who never look at her even with a small smile was now staring at her like she was some possession.
With small smile Shehnaaz handed him mug of coffee which he took happily, Its been really long he had coffee made by her. He never told her but he loves the food made by her. She took the tray of snacks and went outside in hall, Sidharth followed her. They both sat on couch opposite to each other.
Shehnaaz sat silently not knowing what to say to him. Shehnaaz was never in situation like this before, sure they were leaving in same room but he never sat with her or talk with her in those 3 years, he was always busy with his work to spare a glance at his wife.
"Ghar par sab kaise hai?" Shehnaaz asked him low tone but was sure he had heard her. She missed his family which was clear to him, his family always treated her like their own so it pained her a lot when she had to left them.
"They all miss you a lot." Sidharth replied with heavy heart. He wanted to hug her and tell her how much he missed her and his family, there wasn't any moment when they don't miss her.
"Tum kaisi ho, Shehnaaz?" Sidharth asked her meeting with her gaze.
"Main theek hu. I'm happy" Shehnaaz said to him, It was a lie, they both knew it. She wasn't happy with their separation but it was needed. Sidharth closed his eyes in regret and pain.
It was all because of him that they are so close yet so far.
