Just A Chance ✓

part : 9

Sidharth thought that even this day is ruined but then Shehnaaz proved him wrong. They both started to talk about random topics, they both just want to know each other. At least enough to trust each other as yet they do not trust each other

"Come I will drop you", Sidharth said

"Sure it is your duty", Shehnaaz giggled and sat on the passenger seat. Sidharth smiled as well, he find her full of life

Sidharth started to drive and noticed Shehnaaz replying to a few comments or she was chatting, he don't know what she was doing exactly. He is now curious to know what she is doing so when she stopped using her mobile phone he immediately asked

"With whom you were talking? How many friends are there in your friend circle ", Sidharth asked

"With what right you are asking that?", Shehnaaz asked angrily

"You are asking me this? Do I need to tell you who am I?", Sidharth asked, Shehnaaz sighed and looked at him

"Sorry. Those were my fans and in my circle, there is only one best friend and others are just friends. I hate making friends. All are fake ", Shehnaaz said

"That's why I get angry because most of my friends were fake. In front of me, they were good and from the back, they were something else", Shehnaaz continued with a chuckle. Sidharth felt pain in her voice, he does not know many things about her but he is sure about one thing she has experienced many struggles in her life and met many fake people. Her voice told him that she is mentally broken and she can't trust word friendship.

"Don't worry Shehnaaz. I'm with you and you will find me with you in future as well", Sidharth told her and placed his hand on her which was on her thigh Shehnaaz looked at him when she felt his hand on her hand, she felt peace when his hand touched  her skin. She can't tell him how happy she felt with his words

"I will help you Shehnaaz. Even if our relationship does not work then it is my promise that I will not leave you alone", Sidharth said, he doesn't know why he said this. He doesn't know if he will be able to keep his promise or not but right now he just said this in the trance

Shehnaaz passed a smile towards him and caressed the back of his hand which held her another hand

"It means a lot to me Sidharth", Shehnaaz told him, in this fake world she does not know if he is true or not but his words gave her peace. Sidharth dropped her home and asked her to take care, Shehnaaz smiled and asked him to message her when he reach home.

Sidharth reached home and told his mother regarding his meeting with Shehnaaz, Rita asked him to take Shehnaaz somewhere else to know each other

"Mom hold on. We will talk on call for now. I can't meet her regularly. If I did then the media will make this a breaking news", Sidharth told his mother and walked back to his room. He can't understand why his mother always tries to trap him in a big problem. He can't marry anyone right now and doesn't even want someone to put a finger on his character.

After entering the room he called Shehnaaz and told her he reached, Shehnaaz asked him about his mother, he felt so happy that a girl care about his mother just the way he do. After talking for some minutes he heard someone calling Shehnaaz

"Will talk to you about a later bye. Dad is calling me for dinner. Good night", Shehnaaz wished him and declined to call hurriedly. Sidharth smiled and thought to check on her Instagram I'd first. He started to scroll her I'd and realised she is very less active there.

He thought to check on her comments and noticed many bad comments regarding her body, her voice and her look. There were many comments where people said she can't get success, she is fat and many more. Reading those comments his anger rose. Even if they don't share any unbreakable bond yet but still he can't see someone judging her like this. Many people were pointing fingers at her character which forced him to think about her state.

"What she must be going through?", He thought and then remembered the message which he noticed hours ago

"Ohh God how can people be so judgmental? And how can she smile?", Sidharth thought and banged his hand on the wall angrily. He is angry with Shehnaaz as well because she answered only positive comments not negative. If he was in her place he would have replied to them.

"I can't even reply to them", Sidharth thought and called Shehnaaz again but Shehnaaz didn't answer the call. He is getting restless thinking about her. What she will think of herself after reading those comments? And why she is not asking for help when he can?
