It's Just You And Me

Chapter 26

"Haanji puttar ji, jaldi jaldi muh khol kar bata ander chal kya raha tha?...... ap bata rahe hai chakkar kya hai ya mai apna tarika apnao?" placing both her hands on either side of her waist she was standing right in front of him while his head was bend down like a scared child. "Jaldi jaldi muh khol warna mai dadi se hi baat...."
"Areee ny Taiji ruk jao please batata hu mai" Sidharth had immediately held her hand before she could go down, she smirked and raised her brows asking him to go on. "Maine jo ander bola aur apne suna sab sach hai, Mai sachi pyar karta hu Shehnaaz I really love her", his confession brought a huge smile on her face. She was extremely happy that a guy like Sidharth loved her Sana. That girl deserved every bit of it. She just left grinning and Sidharth followed her, they went back to Dadi's room to discuss about what they are supposed to do next. "Kaise hai meri Sana? thik toh hai? unn logo ne pata ny kya haal bana rakha hoga uska" Dadi cursed those two inhumans who had locked Shehnaaz inside. "Beji uski tention mat lo ab vo bilkul thik hai" Taiji smiled teasingly looking towards Sidharth. "Ab thik hai ka kya matlab?" Tauji asked. Sidharth walked upto dadi and kneeled down in front of her "Dadi mujhe apse kuch kehna hai" he said with his nervousness filled voice as Taiji excitedly looked at him. "Bol ki hoya?"
"Dadi mujhe....." he took a deep breath before speaking further. "Dadi I love Shehnaaz aur mujhe usse shadi karne hai.... mai usko kise aur ka hote hue ny dekh sakta....... mujhe pata hai humme mile mushkil se 2 mahine hue hai par jab mai usse dur tha tab uski value samjh mei aayi ..... mujhe yeh samjh mei aaya ke how much I love her ......uske liye mai jaisa feel karta hu ya jaisa vo mujhe feel karwati hai waisa dusra koi mujhe ny karwa sakta, mai usse yeh puchu isse pehle mujhe apki permission chahiye dadi Please mana mat kariye ga.... I really do love her a lot, I need her and only her in my life.... Usko rote hue dekhta hu toh mujhe dard hota hai..... I promise Usko kabhi hurt ny karu ga, kabhi kise chiz ke kami ny hogi, uske liye mai vo sab karne ko taiyar hu jisse ke vo apna bita hua kal bhul jaye I promise you'll always find her smiling Kabhi rone ny dunga usse..... Please?" The Sidharth Shukla for the very first time had literally tour his chest and kept his heart in front of Shehnaaz's grandma. Taiji was in tears even Tauji was convinced with whatever he said but Dadi had a plain look on her face which scared Sidharth. "Dadi?" he looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Tere alava uske liye dusra koi ho he ny sakta Mai khush hu tum dono ke liye aur mera pura ashirwad hai tum dono ko, Rab ji meher kare" she smiled making Taiji go all excited. "Oye yeh mat samjhna uska baap ny hai, mai baitha hu abhi aur meri beti ko thori bhi taklif hua na toh" Tauji's warning was cut in between by excitedly smiling Taiji "Bas bhi karye ap, bechara kitna pyar karta hai hamare Sana se apko lagta hai usko kabhi kise chiz ke taklif hone dega yeh" she caressed Sidharth's cheeks. "Mai bohot khush hu tum dono ke liye beta" she squeaked. "Beta tuni Apni maa ko bataya hai iske bare mei?" Dadi asked. "Nahi dadi pehle Shehnaaz se baat karu ga phir maa ko batao ga, kyuki mujhe unka pata hai unko koi problem ny hogi infact problem yeh hai ke shayad Shehnaaz ko mai...." his face fell down thinking about what if she would deny for the marriage. "Beta tu tention mat le hum sab tere sath hai tuni apni dil ke baat uske samne rakh de hai waise he yeh shadi wali baat bhi karke dekh" Taiji's encouraging words help him to lift up his hopes. They decided to talk to her the next morning because now Chachi ji will  have to bring her out of that room as the guests had started arriving and would question if they would find her locked in there.

Next morning....

"Chal Sana beta jaldi jaldi tayar ho ja teri shadi ke rasme kal se start hone wali hai" Chachi barged into her room waking up the tired Shehnaaz with a jerk. She felt the urge to slap this lady for the very first time, she wanted to confront her about what Abhay had said the other day. "Chachi apko sharam ny aati? kuch paise ko liye karke ap mujhe uss badtameez insan se shadi karne ko bol rahi hai?" gritting her teeth she was glaring Chachi as she gave her a mocking smile. she sat beside Sana and squeezed her cheeks hardly out of hate "Meri bachi ki itni lambi zuban kaise ho gai ke vo apni Chachi se aise baat kar rahi hai haan? Dekh tujhe jo samjhna hai samjh par yeh shadi toh hogi, mai bhi dekhti hu yeh shadi kaise ny hoti ab... aur haan abhi chup chap se tayar hoja neche mehman hai koi bhi hoshyaari ki na toh yaad rakhna Tera Coco hai na vo apne pass he hai" She hissed smirking and walked out leaving the door open this time. Shehnaaz felt so sick to her stomach, her Coco can be in danger if she tries something, but for now she can meet Dadi and Sidharth to tell them about what Abhay had told her about him and Chacha Chachi's plan so that they can plan. Not thinking twice she ran towards her grandma's room and the moment she entered she jumped on the bed crying in her arms. "Ammmaaa.... Dadiiii maine apko bohot miss kiya.... yeh log bohot gande hai mujhe ny karni hai yeh shadi ..... yeh sab inka plan hai" she sobbed. Tauji, Taiji and Sidharth were also present there, they were just helplessly seeing her cry. "Chup Kar ja Puttar hum hai na, nahi hogi teri shadi kise se bhi" Sidharth widened his eyes looking at Dadi and she understood his expression "Mera matla uss kamine Abhay se ny hogi teri shadi baki koi aur chalega" Dadi corrected herself giving a relief to Sidharth. "Beta tu rona band kar de pehle hamara dil baitha ja raha tujhe aise dekh kar" Tauji settled down beside, her sobs converted into painfully cry again while hugging him. He couldn't hold himself anymore "Shehnaazzz!!" Sidharth kneeled down in front of her taking both her hands in his as she looked towards him. "Please rona band kar meri jaan hum sab hai na" he assured. "Pehle meri baat suno Please bohot zaruri hai" she said wiping her tears, "Haan thik hai bol" everyone listed to her attentively. She told them about all the conversation she had with Abhay and with Chachi before coming out of that room. By this time Sidharth hands were fisted tightly and he was fuming in anger. God knows how many times already he had killed Abhay in his imagination for misbehaving with Shehnaaz. His Love, his life, his Shehnaaz was the most important person to him and these sick people were buying and selling her as an object. Dare they even eye her now because he had lost his cool. "Uski yeh himmat, unn logo ne pehli bhi...." Tauji was stopped by dadi "Bass... pehle ke baate ny hone chahiye abhi yeh socho ki aage karna kya hai kyuki meri bachi ke shadi uss kamine se toh mai kabhi na hone du ab" Dadi's stern side was seen by Shehnaaz for the first time, she had never seen her Grandma this angry or speaking this rude with anyone. "Shehnaaz tu tention mat le beta kuch ny hoga hum hai na" Taiji caressed her head making herself comfortable on the bed behind Shehnaaz. "Par Vo Abhay banda khatarnak lag raha hai pehle bhi usne Sidharth ko maarne ki koshish ki aur Coco.... Coco bhi toh Chachi ke pass hai, aplog ne kyu uska dhyan ny rakha?" she whined glaring all the four. "Tujhe lagta hai vo Abhay ki itni aukat hai mujhe maar sake? Aur vo tere Chacha aur Chachi unko ko 2 min ny lagega mujhe unki asliyat yaad karwane mei.... Tuni mujhe underestimate kar rakha hai...... kya yaar BABY tu bhi" he mouthed without thinking about the surrounding as Taiji started her teasing session with fake coughing which made Shehnaaz beetroot red. "Haan beta acha kiya tuni humme sab bata diya, hum kuch galat ny hone denge" Tauji said. There was a few minutes of complete silence in the room, Sidharth hunched his body up from the floor and sat down on the chair as Tauji followed him sitting beside, Shehnaaz was laid down on Taiji's lap while she was caressing her head softly. "Sidharth vo...." Taiji indicated him to speak up and propose her for the marriage. Sidharth looked at her with pleading eyes and whispered no but Taiji being Taiji didn't spare him. "Sidharth kal jo dadi se baat ki thi tumne Sana ke bare mei vo Sana ko bhi batao" she smirked as Shehnaaz woke up with jolt listing her name. "Mere baare mei baat ki thi? Kya baat ki thi Sidharth tuni?" she asked. Sidharth face palmed himself knowing what was coming next.
