Beautifully Theirs

38. Grumpy Old Child

" Tum Shehnaaz ke kamre main the puri raat " Maa asked seeing his dishevelled hairs that indicated he just woke up

" Haan " He spoke shrugging

" Sidharth I want to talk to you " Maa spoke sternly and he looked at her for a moment

" Maa I just woke up yaar, paani toh pila do " He spoke and Maa sighed nodding and walked to the kitchen bringing him a water bottle and passed it to him.

" Dawai khai aapne " He asked

" Khana hi nhi khaya, jab tum log ghar par ho tab akele breakfast kaise karun " Maa spoke and he smiled

" Good that you love us, thoda pyaar khud se bhi karo, dawai time par liya karo yaar " Sidharth spoke

" Roz 8 baje ke baad hi leti hoon, jaldi uth gaya tu, 7 baje hai abhi " She spoke and he looked at the clock shocked

" 4 baje toh soya tha " He exclaimed and Maa looked at him with interrogating gaze and he gave her space to sit down, but he has seen how she was glaring him without a fault but he knew not to question her

" Baatein ghuma li ho toh bol loon main ab kuch " Maa spoke and he sighed turning towards her , taking it as a cue she continued

" Are you by any chance Treating Shehnaaz as your previous ... " She trailed of not knowing how to put it correctly, she was a mother and indulging in her only son's personal life didn't felt right to her ever, the reason she has not questioned him about his one night stands he did earlier but now it was different

" Treating like what " He asked unable to get what did she even meant but one look at her and he knew what he thought was correct but on the realisation of what she even asked he widened his eyes in shock

" How... How could you even think like that mom, Shehnaaz could be anything but a night stand to me " He shouted not caring even if he hurt her with his voice and Maa sighed

" Sorry " Maa whispered and he was still upset on how could she even think like that about him

" Maa... Shehnaaz , Is my Family Maa, Bachpan se dekha hai aapne mujhe uske saath, aapko sach main lagta hai I am with her for my sexual needs, have I ever made you feel like that for even a second in these years " Sidharth spoke and there was disappointment in his voice and Maa felt bad for bringing that topic out in such a way

" Mera... I didn't meant it that way Sidharth " Maa spoke and he looked at her, he knew there was something that disturbed her and he sighed nodding

" Hmm" He spoke, his energy draining of understanding everyone and he wanted to be free from this all he knew but that wasn't his nature, he was brought up in a way to understand everyone.

" Shehnaaz.... Bachi hai voh bhi meri Sidharth , 27 ki hai and usne itna dukh dekha hai na apni zindagi main, she was hardly 12 when Adhiraj bhaisaab left her alone or ab Pammi, Uske liye bahut mushkil hai Sidharth and I will not leave you agar voh bachi teri vajah se ek aur din royi toh " Maa spoke and he smiled at her, forgetting the fact that he was angry, The Way Maa cared about Shehnaaz, He was sure he didn't did anything wrong asking her for marriage yesterday, she would have a whole family for herself without worrying about the society to comment on them

He knew the society they lived in had thrown various taunts towards her way and she has been listening to all those because Maa and Him were not ready to let her stay in the Quarters when they lived here in a whole house.

" Main.... I don't know how to say this but Maa she loves me, And main itna bura nhi hoon ki I take advantage of that in any way, so clearly bolun toh nhi there's nothing physical between me and Shehnaaz maa if that's what you want to hear " He spoke and Maa sighed
