The next few days were dramatic, volatile and stressful was putting it mildly. Everyone was in game mode and also all niceties and pretenses were out of the window now and accusations, insinuations and taunts were flung left right and centre. The way Sidharth was now being targeted and it was pretty obvious that this was a planned attack constant and relentless especially since he was very weak. Shehnaaz herself reeling under the realization that what she felt for Sidharth was perhaps going to change her in many ways forever but before she could dwell on that she needed to divert all energies away from him because he really was weak and it was ruthless the way people were at him constantly. Her mind worked in wild ways!
The minute she got the window she diverted all the attack on her and Mahira in her sheer desperation for content, now that her cover of Paras was blown, was only too happy to then escalate things along with her. And escalate they did, Sidharth was a mute spectator for most of the day. All he did was be laying down on the couches in the living room. At one point he was very very ill and needed comfort. Shehnaaz was busy riling Shefali.Z up, it was amusing to watch. The like of Rashmi and Shefali.Z could never, not in a million years ever match up to the wild and yet pure mind of Shehnaaz . He chuckled watching them fumble their way, it was embarrassing watching them even try to match her. They were too contrived, too afrai, too much of a victim of their own compulsions to ever match Shehnaaz's wit humor and confidence, the confidence that came from being honest. He sighed. Why
Did he delight so much in her. Even right now all he wanted was for her to be next to him. She in intervals came to check in him and even spend time with him and whisper sweet nothings to him physically cuddle with him, anything just to reassure he has someone to lean on.
He saw her approaching and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep just to see what she would say, she came flirting around and when she saw that he was asleep quietly slid in to bed with him and gently touched his forehead to see if he has fever. And her palm on his forehead was quickly replaced with her lips and feather of kisses. He could not help but let out a purr of contentment "hmmm! Moti idhar baith ab thodi der, tu jab idhar udhar mandraati hai neend nahin Aati " saying this he dug his face into her waist and flung his thighs over her feet.
"Awww puttu nonnu mela, sonay ki acting kar raha tha!" Saying this she started massaging his scalp to make him feel a tad better. "Haye Sidharth thakh gayi yaar ladtay ladtay! Aur yeh Mahira bhi na abhi sab seriously kar rahi hai, fun chal raha tha"
"Haan aur kar Support, badi aayi jab koyi Akela ho jata hai mein usko support karti hoon. Ab bas kar. Maseeha kahinki!" Saying this he looks at her and can't help but chuckle " yaar tu cheez kya hai bey, kaisay teko idea aaya karkay mein your lipstick idea dude fuckall hai lekin genius hai!"
"Sidharth mein na bohot kutti cheez hoon. Meko agar kisinay unglee ki aur mera bheja ghoom gaya na toh phir jeena haraam kar doon aur pata bhi naa chaleij ki bandha hasay ya roye!" She said this more to herself than him, and he only could chuckle further because all of this every sensuous bit of her and every cute bit of her undid him in a way but also knotted him up in a way. He sighed a deep sigh and tried to sleep.
In the evening, once again the task for very heated and inspire of his weak condition Sidharth insisted on playing, ofcourse the task was almost certainly going to be declared void but he wanted to really get in there and give it back to the likes of Vishal and bhau. While he was arguing with Vishal about playing, Shehnaaz felt an anxiety rise up in her about his health. She tried using her stern voice with him but he went into a stubborn zone and would not calm down. In exasperation she went off in a huff and settled into the parachute bed in the bathroom area. Sidharth instinctively followed sensing she was upset and was a bit taken aback by how much this resembled a lovers tiff. They really needed to draw boundaries, things were growing too fast and too strong between them and it was too much of a blind side for someone as calculated as a Sidharth shukla. He entered the bathroom area and as soon as he saw her sulking all his defenses melted. She with her cute pout and the exaggerated lipstick to mimic Shefali.Z and the fake glasses all of it were so cute. The more cute he found her cute the more stoic his body language became. That was him never one to let anyone see his vulnerability, he nonchalantly walked upto her and just as he was near the foot of the bed flung himslef without any care onto her body, causing both of them to crash against the bed and Shehnaaz wincing as his weight fell on her "aaaah kuttay! Typhoid hokay bhi tu kitna bhaaari hai! Meko suffocation ho rahi hai, uth! Bada strong hai na tu, apnay aap ko samajtha kya hai tu! Ek do din chup kay recover toh kar nahi sakta! Dekh le big boss vaaley bhej dengay
Tujhay bhi hospital phir udharsay khel tu big
Boss! Ek number ka duffar!"
Saying this inspite of herself they adjusted their bodies such that she now was cradling him against her chest and he was curled into her with his arms crossed across his torso because he was feeling cold. Inspite of all her abuses he nuzzled his face into her chest drawing comfort and momentary relief from the shivering and abject tiredness he felt. "Tu itna badakthi kyun hai? Teremay kaisay Ach Amak Devi prakat hotee hai? Ek bimaar insaan say jo apnay aap ko defend bhi nahi kar sakta uskay saath tu aisay sulook kar rahi hai! Babeeee your jhappian pappian will
Make me better not your Gaali vaali. Please" saying this he nuzzled his face into her neck and his warm breath caused her to feel tingles all over her body. She held him tighter as she said "aur nahi toh kya mein tere liye clapping karoon? Saala puraa din itna dimaag laga kay defense mein khela aur tu side sey saarey kriya karam paani phek diya! Phir sey aagaya na unkay Hitlist mein!"
When he heard her say tha his eyes flung open and he raised himself up and held his head with his bent elbow and looked over her "Shehnaaz yeh jo Tu subhay sey kar rahi hai! Merese attention deflect kar rahi thi?" He did not know whether to be awed by her or shake her back into her senses "you don't have to do that Shehnaaz, what is wrong with you! Don't do such fuckall things, you are not here to do such stupid things. Tujhay kya lagta hai mein jhel nahi sakta in logon go" saying that he swung out and sat with his back facing her and on the edge of the bed. "Pls I did not ask you to do it and I don't need such favors also! Tu apna game khel aur mein apna game khelta hoon!" Saying this he rested his head on his hand calming himself down out of the surge of emotions and frustration that coursed through him.
She smiled sadly, partly because she did not mean for him to be upset because of her and also partly because how proud he still was and did not think her important enough for her to express such liberties with him. She crept up behind him, flung both her legs on either side of him, sat behind him and spooned him with her head resting sideways on his back and her arms encircling his waits. "Mujhay pata hai you don't need me to do this but I want to do this. Tu mere liye bohot precious hai Sidharth. Tu jitna idhar sabko apna aggression dikhaatha hai itna meko tera pyaar mehsoos karwaata bai.to mainay mere puchkooo actually mere typhoid vaaley puchkoo ke liye kiya. Aur itna gussa kyun ho jata hai tu?agli baar jab tu injection ke liye jayega naa? Mein bhi aaungi tere saath, unko request karungi ke injection mein kuch anti gussawaala koi medicine ho toh mix karke daldey! Mera idhar ka life toh bohot acha guzrega!"
Saying this she started massaging his scalp again and he unclenched and just sank into her abs exhaled deeply and said "darling tu kyun phukat ka enemies bana rahi hai isiliye bol raha tha sorry teko bura laga toh mein gussa nahi hoon meri jaan." Saying this he kissed her cheek sweetly.
"Haan toh aaj ke pehle in sab nay milkay trophy mujhay deni thi ke sana to kitna achi hai yeh le show tu jeet gayi" and quickly started sniffling and mimicking him and in his tone said "chal moti ab paka math, jitna dimaag hai utna hee chalanay ka theekh hai!" And grinning flicked his head they way he did to her and then grabbed his face and said "man toh abhi dal peenay ka hai but kya Karein camera say phatthi hai mere!" And she bit his cheek just the way he does hers. Both of them voluntarily got up and Sidharth held her from the neck behind and guided her out grateful for the moments of levity she brought into this stress filled environment.
The next day was weekend ka vaar and not a good one for any of the contestant. Except for Arti, who continued to be sanctimonious and over bearing much to shehnaaz's irritation. The grueling session and shoot ended with himanshi's exit and vikas's entry.
Sidharth was called into the confession room and some more blood was drawn for further tests, he seemed to be getting worse. He sighed, wanted to be prepared for anything that came his way but also wanted to prepare Shehnaaz in case he had to leave. So as soon as he stepped out of the confession room he went looking for her, he found her sitting with Vikas Gupta, Shefali b and z and Mahira in the garden couches and to his slight irritation Shehnaaz sat bang in the middle of Vikas and shefali z and there was no space for him. He has to settle on the garden lounge across next to Mahira. Vikas asked him "Kya treatment de rahein hai? Injection thay kya? Jaldi aagaya"
He politely replied back "nahi abhi toh test ke liye blood liya hain unhonay! Shaayad ek do din mein diagnosis mil jayega"
"Lo karlo baat ismein blood lene ki kya zaroorat thi, Lo mein kar deti hoon inka diagnosis! Extreme case of khadoos with gussa on the naak and aggression over limit with high level chaska for head massage" Shehnaaz said cheekily biting her inner cheek and looking at him with a mixture of extreme fondness and slight fear that she had crossed her limits. He never liked it when she displayed any sort of intimacy towards him when other were around. She never understood that about him. She realized rhat Vikas and everyone else was roaring in laughter and continued their conversation with each other but Sidharth quickly puckered his lips and clenched his jaw and but his teeth together and tied hard to not acknowledge her joke which in itself was so hilarious. He continued staring at her and then flicked his neck slightligtly indicating to her that he wanted her to come away with him. She did not quite get it the first time so she just blinked in ignorance so he deliberately widened his eyes and tilted his head asking her to go inside with him. Uff he looked so sexy doing tbat, Shehnaaz felt tingles in her tummy as she gazed at him and measuredly closed her eyes in silent
Acknowledgement. To which he nodded his head and casually got up and muttered "gadhi" under his breath and strutted back into the house and settled back at the front room couch waiting for her. After a few minutes he heard the door opening and madam went shuffling into the bedroom direction completely missing him sitting on the couch! What a cartoon he chuckled and patiently waited for her to shuffle back out in confusion, which is exactly what she did.
As soon as she noticed him she slapped her forehead and said "Haye ho gaya siyappa, mujhay laga tu bathroom mein hain aur tu nahi tha lekin Madamjee teri Radha mili....hayeee a gayi" saying this she quickly settled next to Sidharth who gave her such an irritated look as Arti joined them knowing fully well that she was intruding.
"Shehnaaz hope tujhay aaj pata chal gaya ki cute kheltay kheltay batameezi pe uthar aayi aur trophy haath sey Nikal gayi!" She said this with an air of confidence and though she was speaking to Shehnaaz, her eyes were always trained at Sidharth who had his arms folded across his chest and his head resting at the head of the couch with his eyes closed and absolutely no expression in his face.
He was irritated, he wanted to be with Shehnaaz alone and sometimes Shehnaaz was so frustratingly naive about such things. That they always landed up in a crowd or with other unwanted company. He sighed opened his eyes, picked his bottle up, looked piercingly at Shehnaaz and said "chalo you guys catch up I am going to sleep" and walked away!
Shehnaaz was stuck and also regretted the missed opportunity but now was stuck in a situation she needed to salvage. So after a few minutes she threw Arti off the scent by excusing herself and saying she was going to the washroom and got away from the conversation desperately hoping Sidharth was still awake. The man could fall asleep in the blink of an eye! She quickly ran to their bed and his twitching feet and hands gave away the fact that he was still awake! She quickly got into bed and under the quilt and rode her fingers under his T-shirt and soothed him by rubbing her hand all over his torso and tummy and sweetly called out to him "beboooo sorry meinay aisay luchi kiya....gussa hai merese"
He involuntarily chucked at her cuteness "luchi nahi gadhi locha." He quickly pinched her cheek lovingly and turned to wards her "tu ek dum buzz kill hai"
"Hain kya kisko maara, mann toh tha aaj, itna achiii ban rahi thi Teri Arti ke mann kar raha that itni mahaan Devi ka Arti hee utharoon! Badi aayi sir ko sorry bolo aweinweinwein" she said flattening her lips and making noises to suggest how sanctimonious Arti really sounded to her ear.
"Baby buzz kill ka matlab voh nahi pagal, means pura mood kharab kar diya!" He said chucking
"Shukar kar shukla mein mood nahi bana rahi, nahi toh Tu paagal ho jayega, mein bohot
Tease type ki
Ladki hoon. Idhar aur koi choice nahi hai toh mein masti mazak mein cover up kar Leti hoon." She rasped, her eyes glazing over his lips and face which betrayed how much he affected her physically
"Kameeni bimaar admi kay saath aisay behave karti hai. Kuch toh insaaniyat dikhao" he teased back amused at how it came so easily to them to flirt with each other!
"Baby havas is also insaaniyat! Acha yeh sab chod bol kya bolnay ke liye bulaya?"
"Kuch nahi darling, bas baath karnein ka Mann kar raha tha. Chal meko neend aa rahi bai,
Chal give me a hug and let's sleep"
They both slept drawing comfort and healing from each other little knowing that this was going to have to be the fuel that would carry them through the next difficult week.
