Author POV

"Sir apne aj ka news dekha? " Sidharth PA asked fearing about the coincidence.

"Nahi kyu kiya hua?  " Sidharth sensed the fear in his voice.

"Sir wo apki Ammi call ne call kiya tha apke bare mein puch raha tha to mai ne kaha ap meeting mein ho aur kisine apki photos liya jab ap shopping kar rahe the mam ke sath. Bohot sare news channel ispe reports  bana rahe hai sir. " his PA said in one breath fearing Sidharth's anger.

"Tumlog tab so rahe the kiya?  " Sidharth said calmly that made his PA gulp hard.

"Sorry sir but itne salo se kabhi bhi esa kuch nahi hua to humne us angle se nahi socha. " Sidharth rubbed his forehead to decrease his anger.

"Ek kam karo news band karne ki jaroorat nahi hai but jyada masla na ho ye dekhlo. " Sidharth instructed before cutting call.

He took his iPad to watch the news. Shehnaaz walked out of washroom taking shower.

"Kuch hua hai kya? Tum kuch tension mein lag rahi ho. " Shehnaaz asked sitting beside him on couch.

"Hmmm." saying he pointed at screen. Shehnaaz frowned seeing the reports.

"What the fuck, Sidharth?  What's happening? " Shehnaaz said in shock seeing all the critic reports.

"Relax. It was meant to be happen today or tomorrow. So don’t bother yourself much. " Sidharth said kissing her left cheek lightly.
Shehnaaz relaxed knowing he is right. Someday or other their family will know.

"I am just scared of their reaction. " Sidharth said nothing just rubbed her back to calm her.

"By the way tumhari flight kab ki hai? " Sidharth asked forgetting about her flight timing. He had so many meetings from morning so he couldn’t check on her.

"Tonight 10pm. " she replied walking to dressing table to dry her hair with hair dryer.

"Pakistan kab aoge? " he was so confuse about her decisions as she wasn’t  saying  anything about her
further plan. She was just waiting for result.

"Pata nahi. " her answer made Sidharth took a long breath.

"Shehnaaz say it clearly jaan. What do you want?  Do you want to go back home or USA?  Just make it clear. " Sidharth was so pissed of her behaviour.

"I will go to Pakistan if mom dad goes. If not then I want to go USA. " Shehnaaz said fearing Sidharth.

"Sidharth you had always been my priority but I didn’t meet mom dad for months. Moreover.. " she was explaining but cut of by sudden kiss.

He kissed her softly but deeply to reduce her insecurities. Nowadays she was overthinking of everything.

"You should meet your parents first and I will see what happens at home. I will be in Pakistan before you decide anything. " Sidharth said breaking the kiss and caressed her cheeks softly.

————————

Shehnaaz went back UK to collect her results. Sidharth also went back Pakistan after a week completing all his work in Dubai.
He was prepared to answer any question of his family. He knew that he have to face so many questions from his family regarding the reports.

"Assalam walikum. " Sidharth greeted everyone stepping in living hall where everyone was talking.

"Walikum salam Sidharth. Ap agaye kaisa tha safar? " his mother asked seeing him back in home after a long trip.

"Acha tha ammi. " Sidharth said sitting there with others.

"Ap fresh hojaye fir bat karenge. " Sidharth nodded and went to his room.

He went downstairs to have lunch but nobody asked anything making him doubt of their behaviour. They had their lunch silently. Then Sidharth went to study with Mr Shah to discuss about business.
They discussed for hours but Mr Shah didn’t utter a single thing about his personal life.

"Baba kuch punch sakti hu? " Mr Shah was about to get up but stopped hearing him.

"Ha puchiye." Mr Shah said sitting back on chair.
Sidharth hesitated for sometime but couldn’t ask.

"Nahi kuch nahi. " he shaked his head slowly. 

"Mujhe pata hai Sidharth ap kiya puch na chahti hai. " Mr Shah said seeing Sidharth hesitating. Sidharth looked at his father hopefully. Mr Shah knows Sidharth can't express his thoughts in words whenever he is tense.

"Sidharth hume reports ka kuch nahi sun na. Hume bas ap dono se sun na hai. Ap dono hi bolenge jo bolna hai. And I hope ki ap dono hume jaldi sab kuch clear karenge. " saying Mr  Shah left the room.

After sometime Sidharth also left to living hall. He saw everyone sitting there quietly  and Riya was talking on phone.
He sat there silently proceeding what's happening.
He found nothing interesting so went to garden feeling bored there.

" Sidharth bhi kuch mahino mein shaadi karne wala  hai . Shehnaaz ab  tum kuch bologi  bhi  ya  nahi . " Riya's word took Sidharth's attention and he guessed it is Shehnaaz who is on call.

"Kab hai shaadi?  " Shehnaaz asked not so bothered about it.

"Jab date confirm ho jaye mujhe  invitation bhejdena. " Shehnaaz added further not taking her mother's word seriously.

"Koi shaadi nahi kar raha tu apna bata. Tere liye insaan aur kitne salo se wait karega?" Izhaan was really annoyed of sidnaaz decisions. He can't even marry them as Sidharth threatened him.

"Tujhe kisne kaha wait karne?  Tu karle apna mujhe kyu khich raha hai bich mein. " Shehnaaz would have killed Izhaan if he was in front of her.

"Mei ne apni bat kab kiya?" Sidharth glared Izhaan and gave a you are gone look.

"Mein to Vihaan aur Maham ki bat kar rahi thi woh do becharo ka kiya hoga. " Izhaan covered up seeing Sidharth's deadly glare.

"Ami taya abbu se keh kar Maham ki nikkah karado. " Shehnaaz said knowing the exact medicine for Izhaan's nonsense.

"Maham se pehle teri hogi. " Izhaan said hurriedly to divert everyone mind to shehnaaz.

"Mujhe nahi pata kiska pehle aur kiska bad mein  hoga. Agar kisika shaadi ho jaye to inform kardena gift bhejdungi. " Shehnaaz said dragging the word 'kisika' intentionally before cutting call.
