Door bell rings..
Shehnaaz opens the door.. it's Saanjh..
"Achha hua aap agayi..jake please usko ek bandaid lagado..he has cut his finger!"
"Tu kyun nehi laga rahi hai?? Phirse lafra ho gayi hai tum dono mein?"
"Di..meri curry jal jayegi.. baad mein baat karti hoon..dinner karke jana zaroor..abhi jake usko lagado please..!"
Saanjh steps into his room and finds him trying to do the band-aid on himself.
"Aabe khud thodi na kar payega! De mujhe de..!"... She takes the gauze from him..
"Shehnaaz bata rahi thi that you had a cut and tujhe help kardun thodi si..".. she deliberately pinches him to see what went wrong again..
"Areh wah! Usne tujhe laganeke leye bola lekin khud nehi aayi!"... He smirks..
"She is working Sid! Don't take stuffs in a wrong way always!"
"Yeah whatever! Chal jaldi kar.. mujhe washroom jana hai!"
************
Shehnaaz calls everyone for dinner..
Considering that Sidharth had a cut on his right hand, she placed different spoons for him to let him have his dinner at ease. Usually, he prefers to use hand while eating parathas, so she has torn small pieces of parathas for him to grab and mix it with the curry ..🤗
He comes and sits with Khushi and Saanjh..
"Tu bhi aaja..!".. Saanjh insists..
"Aap log start karo, I need to take shower!"... replies Shehnaaz..
Sidharth stares at the table and gets to see all that she did for him and looks back at her..."kaha ja rahi hai?! Dinner nehi karegi?"
"I need to take a shower..aap log khalo..I will join back in few minutes.."
"Sit here..!!"..he demands sternly..
"Sidharth I feel uncomfortable! I need to take a shower! Khalo na aap!"
He exhales...."Ok go..I will wait.."
"Sanu jake nahalo! I can't resist this food now!".. says Khushi..🤣
She sighs, knowing that she can't win here, so she gives up and pulls out a chair next to him to sit..
"Di salad lo na! Aap kaha lost ho?".. Khushi asks Saanjh..
"Kuch bhi toh nehi.. I am good!".. replies Saanjh, who seems very quiet and down than her usual self..!
"Kya hua tujhe?!"..Sidharth pulls her hair..
"Aabe kya kar raha hai?!"
"Toh bata hua kya hai?! Tu toh chup rehne wali material nehi hai!"
A message pops up on Saanjh's mobile and she reads it immediately, without answering Sidharth..
"Guys, I need to go! I am sorry!"...she hurries up instantly..!
Sidharth holds her back..."Aabe rukh!! Show me the text!"
"Sid! Abhi nehi! I will talk to you later!"..says Saanjh..
"Shut up! Show me the text!"
He snatches the mobile from her hand and reads the text and the text says:
"Time for the prayer! Jaldi se aaja!"
"Oh shit! I totally forgot! I am so sorry yaar!"...he gets up from the chair and hugs her immediately...!!
Her eyes well up.."Its fine..! Main baas ja hi rahi thi but tune call karliya toh agayi thodi der k leye!"
"Kya hua Saanjh Di?!"...asks Sana with utter curiosity..
"It's her sister's death anniversary and I totally forgot!"...replies Sidharth..
"Kya?! Aapki koi behen bhi thi?!"
"Haan Sana! Thi! She passed away!"
Shehnaaz gets up and walks upto her to hold her into a hug..
"Toh abhi aap kaha ja rahi ho?"
"Uske leye prayers rakhi hai Mama Papa ne..baas wahi attend karne ja rahi thi directly from the hospital..!"
"Mujhe leke jaoge? Main abhi ready hoke aayi!"...🤗
"Tu jayegi?!"... Shehnaaz makes her more emotional..!
"Haan bilkul jaungi!! Aap ruko main baas abhi fresh hoke arahi hoon!"....she rushes into the room, leaving everyone in awe of her again!
"Sid this girl is a gem yaar!!"...says Saanjh having tears in her eyes..
"I know! I know! She is! But tu abhi rona bandh kar!"...he gives her a side hug..
Shehnaaz comes back within 10 mins and there she is all ready to set off with Saanjh for the prayer..
"Baby main ajaun? Ghar kaise lautegi?"..asks Sidharth..
"Subah lautungi.. aaj Di k sath rahungi..!".. replies Shehnaaz..
"Maat kar Shehnaaz! Yeh pagal ho jayega!"..says Saanjh..🤭
"Hone do! Waise bhi isse zyada kya expect kar sakti hoon main?! Chalo di! You are getting late!"...and that was surely a pinch for him, to which he decides not to react..😝
They leave for the prayer..
*************
It's 12 am...4 hours have passed..Sidharth can't keep his calm as they have hardly spoken to each other through out the entire day!
He calls her..
"Hello..?"... She receives it..
"Prayer khatam ho gayi na?"
"Haan.."
"Toh phir main ajaun lene?"
"Nehi..main aaj idhar hi rukungi!"
"Kyun baby? Saanjh is fine! I have spoken to her a while back!"
"Toh?! It's my decision! Main rahungi aaj unke saath!"
"Okk! Since you are doing this for my best friend, I can't be selfish! Chal rukh ja..ajaunga subah lene!"
"Koi zaroorat nehi hai! Main khud ajaungi!"
"Shut up! Aisa sochna bhi maat! Main ajaunga by 8 am! Bye!"
************
Next morning,
It's exactly 8 am and there she receives a text from him..
"Get down..I am here already..!"
She comes down within 15 mins and steps inside the car. Sidharth being in his usual self, tilts down towards her to fix her seat belt..
He looks at her mischievously and pecks her lips, making her stare at him irritatingly..
"Kya?"...he asks remains tilted there..🙈
"Kuch nehi..!"..she tries to look at some other side, but he pulls her face back..
"Bohot ho gaya! Ab agar attitude dikhayegi na..toh yehi par suhag raat bana lunga!!"...he bites her chin..🔥
"Pagal ho gaye ho kya..?! Drive karo..!"..she frowns at his face which is just one inch tilted away from hers..
"Chalooo!! Go back..!! Drive!"..she pushes him back..
He goes back to his poisture again..."Breakfast karegi..bahar?"
"Nehi mujhe ghar jana hai mujhe!"
"Ok...!!"...he starts the car and drives her back home..
***********
She takes her shower, comes out and gets scared to see him standing right at the washroom door..!
"Sidharth are you mad?!"
He pins her against the wall, traces his hand up her neck and kisses her cheeks gently..
"I love you!"... He whispers into her ears..
She keeps looking at him innocently..
"Kya baba?! Abhi bhi gussa hai?!"... He cupps her face..
Tears trickle down her eyes as she keeps staring at him without blinking for once..
"Kya ho gayi hain tujhe?! Kyun roh rahi hai jaan?!"
She keeps staring..
"Kya hua? Kuch bol..!"
"Chhoro!"... She keeps looking at him..
"Kyun?!"
"Maine kaha chhoro!"
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!".. he comes even closer..
"Leave me Sidharth!!"
"Maine kiya kya hain!?! Aise kyun behave kar rahi hai tu?!"
She pushes him back...!
"Jab tak main khud aap k paas nehi aati, aap mere sath na baat karoge aur na mujhe touch karoge!"
"Have you fucking lost it?! Main touch nehi kar sakta tujhe?!"
"Nehi..! Abhi main khud tooti huyi hoon andar se! Don't make it worse! Move!".... She walks out of the room..
Stay tuned for the next part 🤗
