It's Just You And Me

chapter 50

Sidharth just can't focus on his work at all, the only thing that was running inside his head was that 'I love you'. He can't hear that wrong, but she cleared it was a 'I miss you' instead. This was messing with his head up, he so wanted her to say that out loud to him. He had noticed her being more open up and affectionate towards him now a days but then why can't she just say it out? He really needs a smoke to clear his head and for now focus on his work. Sam, his PA came in with a face which said something was off "Sir Mr Ahuja will be in Delhi for the next one week and asked you to visit him there if it's that important to meet him" Sam informed. This guy was doing all this because of his son Abhay, he would never go behind someone like that but it was very important for his company and Mr. Ahuja can be a great help to them, he had to go. "Book my flight for Monday and ask for his appointment" he sighed. "Sir?" Sam looked shocked, Sidharth Shukla is the one who gives dates and people takes appointment and wait for days to meet him and today he was asking for dates from that man. "Just do as I said Sam!!" he fisted his table in an attempt to control his anger and asked him to leave.
Shehnaaz was done with all the preparation from preparing the food, setting up the table and getting dressed up. She had no idea when he's supposed to come back, he had no specific time to return home lately. Giving a one last look in the mirror she grabbed her phone, decided to call him and see where he's at. "Hello?" he picked on the second ring, "Bebu I'm sorry maine call kiya par tu kab ghar aa raha hai? Aaj mai wait karu ge hum sath dinner kare ge" she didn't need to apologize to him at all, she could call him whenever but she thought she might be disturbing him in his work but little did she know he was in his car driving back home while talking to her. "I'll be there soon okay" he said, his voice seemed a bit tensed. Rita ji knew about her plan and had decided to keep Coco away from them for today atleast, even she had started noticing how Coco used to jump in between them all the time giving no privacy to that couple at all. When Sidharth entered he found the whole house quiet, nothing new for him these days since he used return home late. "Shehnaaz!!" he called out for her and there she entered in a black plain saree elevated with satin plated border and black Flora lace through the edges looking breathtakingly beautiful, she looked so elegant yet very sexy. He looked at her from top to bottom, his gaze making her weak on her knees, a sheepish smile playing on her lips all along as she knew what effect she was having on him right now, "pehle change kar le phir sath mei dinner kare ge, Ok?" she smiled. He nodded like an idiot with the same expression of adoration and amazement, then gave quizy look and started going upstairs to change when he again turned back making her confused and hurried towards her and stared into her eyes straight up and whispers "I was wondering...." shoving his hand in his pockets he waited for her to ask what. "Kya?" asked raising her eyebrows, "I was wondering if it was the climate that was acting on me but no it's you, you're hot Mrs. Shukla!" he said expecting her to blush or so but instead received a smack on his arms. "Oye Mara Kyu?" he grumbled. "Kyuki yeh jo tuni Google se copy paste karke itni gandi one liner mari hai na.... Hayeee Rabba matlab mere itne bure din aa gaye ki mera pati ab dil ki jagah Google se meri taarif kar raha hai" she whined with a scowl and went inside the kitchen murmuring something. "Abey O moti..." she glare him placing the bowl with a thud on the dinning table, "I-I mean meri jaan mai kya karta tujhe dekh kar mera ekdum demag kaam karna band ho gaya toh kuch toh tareef karni thi na toh vo bol diya..... Par kya karu tujhe dekh kar I was speechless baby" he quickly back hugged her kissing her cheeks and moved away before she hits him with her elbow. "Tu abhi pehle change karke aa mere surprise mat kharab kar" she said pointing upstairs. "Baby?? Surprise??" he asked. "Sidhaaarrrthhhh jaa na yaar" she whined, "Pehle bol gussa hai?" he asked being rigid, she knew he was in a mood to annoy her and have fun so he won't leave until she says yes. "Haan ny hu gussa, abhi ja warna koi surprise ny milne wala" she threatened and he listened to her like a good boy. After changing he was going downstairs when a notification on his phone caught his eyes.

?? - Save yourself and your wife if you can, meet you soon Mr. Shukla

Just then another text popped up.

Shehnaaz - Jaldi se uper terrace par aa ja change karke

Sidharth simply ignored the first text, blocking the number he hastily moved upstairs to see why and what surprise she had for him. As he stepped up on the terrace he saw table for 2 set up with a candle lit in between the table, the breeze outside was bit chilly yet soothing, peaceful and the entire thing seem very simple yet romantic exactly the way he would prefer. He didn't realize he was grinning, "Shehnaaz?" he searched for her looking around. She came from behind smiling, "Kaisa laga? Maine zada kuch khas ny kiya bas socha hum sath dinner kare bas thore special way mei kyuki aaj special day bhi hai" she said earning a frown from him. "Am I missing out on something?" he asked. "Haan but it's ok cause mai gussa ny hu bilkul bhi ke tu bhul gaya" she said as she could see him struggling to remember what was it that he was missing. "Areee budhu aaj humari one month anniversary hai aur mujhe pata hai tujhe yeh sab itna zada every month anniversary celebrate karna aur sab acha ny lagta but ek dinner date toh banta hai na?" she saw him with the corner of her eyes grinning waiting for his response. "Shehnaaz you have no idea how much I needed this, how much I needed you.... mai kitna stress out tha na ki yeh sab yaad hi ny tha and you're right mujhe yeh sab bohot extra lagta I don't like all this but this right here is amazing, exactly what I want.... how do you know me so well haan?" he hugged her feeling overwhelmed with emotions, she had not said those three words to him yet but her gestures had said it all to him way before. "Jaise tu mujhe samjhta hai na waise mai tujhe samjhti hu.... abhi chal mujhe bohot zor ki bhul lagi hai mai aur wait ny kar sakti chal" she pulled away from him, held his hand and dragged him towards the the table. His eyes lit up like a kid seeing all his favourites right in front of him, he couldn't decide were to start from. She felt on the top the world at that moment. She had seen him traumatized and stressed out with all the tension going at his work place, she couldn't help him with that but she had to try to make him smile at least and she succeed in it. "Shehnaaz thank you so much, and yeah you look absolutely attractive, sexy, loveable, cute, hot, dreamy, adorable, angelic.... umm.... aur...." he spoke all the adjective he had on his mind and was wondering for more. "Bebu...Bebu... Bas Kar mujhe tere muh se tareef sunne ki aadat ny hai aur tu itni sweet baaten kare ga na toh mujhe sugar ho jana hai" she laughed, he smiled scratching the nape of his neck. The dinner went amazing with Sidharth's compliments and Shehnaaz's silly talks and giggles. Post dinner they started walking around on the terrace hand in hand talking about randomly stupid things, they ended up sitting on the swing with a decent view of road, lights and a bit of greenery right in front of their eyes. Since the weather was a bit chilly, he ran downstairs brought a blanket and they ended up cuddling on the swing. His eyes were closed feeling the sight and chilly wind hitting his face while she had her head resting on his chest with his hand around and she was blabbering about something random. "Phir tujhe pata maine uss customer ko ache se jhada.... aise kaise usne Saloni ke sath misbehave kiya" she said, "Hmm" he responded. "Ek bar Pata hai kya hua tha, Coco ko na mai dog park akele le kar gai thi uss din...." she started with her new incident, "Hmm" he responded, eyes still closed with contentment. "Sidharth tujhe pata hai kya?" she asked. "Hmm" he hummed. "I LOVE YOU" she smiled shyly hiding her face in his chest turing all red. "Hmm" he replied casually just then he realized what she said, "Wait what?" his eyes flung opened and was looking at her but she didn't dare to look up at him. "Shehnaaz.... did I hear it correct? Dekh please ab koi mazak mat karna already vo I miss you jo tuni bola tha mujhe I love you sunai diya tha subha se uss chakkar mei I couldn't concentrate on my work at all" he looked at her with pleading eyes which she couldn't see. She chuckled inwardly thinking about morning but still didn't lift up her face, she was so shy probably for the first time, she had never thought saying this could be so difficult yet so satisfying. She could feel the happiness in his voice. "Shehnaaaaz!!" he whined. "I Love you Sidharth" her voice was muffled as her head was still buried in his chest. Those three words from her mouth gave him collywobbles, he felt as he was flying, she had finally said it what he wanted to hear. "Shehnaaz I-I Love y-you too" he stutters out of happiness. "Shehnaaz look me in my eyes meri jaan" he spoke lovingly but she shook her head from his chest. "Why not?" he asked. "Mujhe tere se sharam aa rahi hai" she said tightning her grip around his stomach and hide her face more into him making him chuckle at her cute antics.
