Shehnaaz chuckled at what Ayesha said. Hope taking place of fear in her heart. This constant conflict was driving her crazy. The entire journey played in her mind as she realized that Sidharth had constantly tried to be with her and avoid Monica while Monica was the one who was constantly after him.
"Arre s se gaana hai firse. Jaldi koi toh gao warna haar jayenge." Ayesha's cousin said worried bringing Shehnaaz out of her trance.
Sapna jahan, dastak na de,
Chaukhat thi woh, aankhein meri,
Baaton se thi, taadaad mein, khamoshiyan, jaana meri,
Jabse pade, tere kadam, chalne lagi, duniya meri,
Mere dil mein jagah khuda ki khaali thi,
Dekha wahan pe aaj tera chehra hai,
Main bhatakta hua saa ek badal hoon,
Jo tere aasmaan pe aake thehra hai...
Shehnaaz sang the song with her eyes closed, completely feeling the lyrics as she could only see Sidharth's face in front of her while Sidharth just kept on looking at her, lost in her voice. He noticed that she looked troubled and all he wanted to do was go and take her in his arms right then.
"Kya hua meri jaan? Kyun udaas hai?" Sidharth asked softly after the function.
"Kuch nahi Sidharth. Bas thak gayi hoon." Shehnaaz sighed. She actually felt tired because of the constant conflict between her heart and mind and the never ending taunts Ayesha's aunt was showering her with.
"Right right right. Tu aisehi muh latka ke ghoom rahi hai. Right!" Sidharth said.
"Mujhe nahi pata Sidharth. Mujhe bas ghar jaana hai." Shehnaaz said with watery eyes.
"Shhh... bas meri jaan. Bas kal ka hi din hai fir nikal jayenge. Kyun stress le rahi hai?" Sidharth asked wiping away the tear that left Shehnaaz's eye.
Shehnaaz was about to say something when Ayesha's aunt barged in.
"Yeh acha hai, ladke patao, shaadi karo, fir divorce leke paise hadap lo aur fir dusre ko pata lo. Huh." Ayesha's aunt taunted Shehnaaz again making Shehnaaz tear up.
Sidharth's blood boiled listening to her and he was almost about to say something to her when Shehnaaz stopped him.
"Mat kar Sidharth. Kal function hai. Main nahi chahti mere wajah se koi bhi problem ho. Chod de please. Khushi ka mahaul hai aur ismein issue nahi banana mujhe. Mere wajah se unka function spoil hua toh main kabhi khud ko maaf nahi kar paungi." Shehnaaz said teary eyed.
"Shehnaaz par woh bakwas kar rahi hai. Unko javaab dena zaruri hai." Sidharth said, fuming with anger.
"Sidharth please maan le meri baat. Abhi kuch bhi nahi bolega tu. Please. Tujhe meri kasam." Shehnaaz said.
"Kya bakwas hai yeh? Toh tu khud javaab de. Tu nahi chahti main javaab doon, main nahi dunga. Par tu unko javaab degi. Samjhi?" Sidharth said holding her arms as Shehnaaz looked down.
"Tujhe logo ki bakwas se affect hone ki koi zarurat nahi hai Shehnaaz. Woh nahi jaante tujhe aur teri sachai ko. Unko sirf koi target chahiye hota hai apne entertainment ke liye taaki woh gossip kar sake. Aise logo ko javaab dena zaruri hai. Kyunki jab tak inka muh band naa karao, yeh chup nahi hote." Sidharth said still completely pissed off with that woman.
Shehnaaz just nodded. "Tu chal ab. Khana khaate hai. So jaungi toh better feel hoga." Shehnaaz said.
