On the other hand, Mr. Gill first dressed Mr.Shukla before escorting his drunk friend to home while leaving Mrs. Sharma at the responsibility of one of their most trusted female employee Ms. Akasa, under the hotel room's sheets. He escorted Mr. Shukla to home and have instructed Akasa to be there with Mrs. Sharma and brought her back home in the morning.
Mr. Gill's eyes welled up as soon as he spotted Mrs. Shukla still awake sitting in the living room probably waiting for the arrival of her husband. As, she registered the presence of Mr. Gill who was standing there supporting his best friend along with their driver, she rushed to them and supported him from other side replacing the driver's arms with hers. They laid him at the couch panting.
"Sidharth bhi ghar nahi aya abhi tak aap jante hai kya kaha hai voh", Mrs. Shukla asked.
"Ajaega tension mat loh aap mein bhi chalta hoon subah baat karte hai", Mr. Gill said knowing very well about the emotional burden which is thumped down at the shoulders of their young child.
"Unmm if you don't mind aap yahi ruk jaiye bhabhi(Mrs. Gill) bhi yahi hai", Mrs. Shukla said hesitantly.
"Lekin", Mr. Gill tried to deny but was cut short by Mrs. Shukla.
"Bhaisahb Sidharth nahi hai aur inki halat bhi kuch thik nahi hai aur aaj ke announcement ke baad aap toh jante hai naa", Mrs Shukla justified with a defeated sigh to which Mr. Gill nodded in response with an assurance of staying back here, his wife is here too so he just walked upto her, the room which is assigned to them in this huge mension.
The morning came later than other days as Mr. Gill haven't slept a blink for the whole night walking around the house and checking upon the door if he has come. It was six am in the morning when Mr. Gill spotted Sidharth's dishavelled figure walking inside the house like a dead men. He truely looked devastated and Mr. Gill's heart lerched at the thought. He quickly made his way towards Sidharth and was engulfed by him in his embrace tightly.
"Thik hoon mein chinta maat kijiye", Sidharth murmured knowing very well how much Mr. Gill cares for him.
"Mr. Shukla aur Mrs. Sharma kaha hai", he asked addressing his own father from his last name,the evident disgust dripping down from his voice made Mr. Gill all the way more worried.
"Mrs. Sharma hotel mein hein aur Ashok apne room mein hai", Mr. Gill informed.
"Dono ka nasha utar ke office leh aaiega vahi baat karenge", Sidharth said.
"Jaise tum thik samjho", Mr. Gill nodded.
Mr. Gill instructed their employee Meera, who was accompanying Mrs. Sharma at hotel for stay. Two hours later, they stood in Sidharth's cabin including Mr. Shukla, Mrs. Sharma, Sidharth and Mr. Gill. They haven't told Mr. Shukla yet about the mishap he did a night before.
"Kya Baat hai beta you are looking tensed", Mr. Shukla asked finally breaking the ice.
"Kaal raat kiske sath the aap", Sidharth asked angrily.
"Watch your words Sidharth", Mr. Shukla roared.
"Oh! I watch my words I guess you should have mind your actions before", Sidharth retorted.
"Aapko kuch yaad hai yaa aapne bhi memory loss vali dawai khai hai", he spatted at Mrs. Sharma.
"Sidharth it was just a hook up we both were just drunk and gave up in passion", she said.
"What rubbish are you speaking", Mr. Shukla said.
"The rubbish you did today", Sidharth said.
"Sidharth kya bakwas kiye jaa rahe ho tum", Mr. Shukla said baffled.
"Bade papa tell him please", Sidharth sighed and Mr. Gill went on explaining, leaving Mr. Shukla in tears.
"S.. Sidharth maine jaan ke I swear I really thought that it was your mom", Mr. Shukla said looking down in shame.
"Cut the crap now tell me what are we going to do next", Sidharth said in a monotone.
"It was just a hook up Sidharth forget it", Mrs. Sharma said.
"Fine then if mom is fine after knowing this I have no problem", he said coldly.
"Reeta no no Sidharth voh tut jaegi meri galati ki saza usko maat doh voh jitte jee maar jaegi Sidharth", Mr. Shukla pleaded.
"Acha kal jab bina soche samjhe nashe kar rahe the tab ni yaad aya apko haan. You freaking cheated at your wife aur apka 22 saal ka beta apki kartute chupane ke liye logo ko paise khila raha tha you didn't think before doing this twice haan, mom ko agar galati se bhi pata lag gaya na toh tut jaengi voh. Unhe pyaar karne ka dawa karte hai naa aap then why can't you freaking think about her damn it", Sidharth shouted.
"Sidharth am sorry please don't tell your mom", he pleaded desperately.
"Fine then jaisa aap chahe if your sin mate don't have a problem with it", he said pointing at Mrs. Sharma.
"Sidharth maine kaha naa it was just a hook up bhool jate hai na raat gayi baat gayi", she stated.
"Thank you Jasmine and am sorry am really really sorry", Mr. Shukla said and left along with Mr. Gill.
"Aap konse mantra padhne ka wait kar rahi hai jaiye", Sidharth said to Mrs. Sharma.
"Arey ruko toh itni bhi kya jaldi hai",Mrs. Sharma said with a smirk opening her lockscreen and showing him the video from last night.
"What the", Sidharth cussed shutting his eyes.
"Tumhe kya laga itni aasani se chodh dungi tumhe", she said.
"Kya chahti hai aap", he asked.
"Zyada kuch nahi bass meri izzat ka dhyan rakhna tumhare ghar mein toh mein vaise hi rehti hoon bas you need to make sure that nobody offends me", she stated nonchalantly.
"Toh aap chahti hai ki mein apna kam dhandha chodh ke ghar pe beith ke Yeh dekhu ki aapko koi kuch kahe na", he said visibly pissed.
"Marzi tumhari hai mujhe ek minute nai lagega tumhari mom ko Yeh video bhejne mein and the rest you know", she said.
"Fine", he sighed.
Back to present.........
"Uss din ke baad ghar ka haar decision voh leti thi ghar mein kya banega,kon kya pehnega, kya hoga sab kuch mom se unke sare haq cheen ke maine unhe deh diye. Haar jagah haar ek baat mein unki chalti thi. Maine bahut koshish ki, that I somehow got that video and get it deleted. Kehne ko bahut irrelevant lagta hai itna bada M.... Business men ek chota sa video nahi dhundh paya aur mein manta hoon mere pe lanat hai ki mein nahi dhundh paya aur uska khamiyaza haar roz bhugtna padta hai mujhe. Jab apni mom se upar mujhe uss aurat ko rakhna padta hai. You can call me selfish but am just too afraid to loose my mom she is just was too precious for me", he added.
"Aap phir bhi Aparajita se shaadi karne ke liye tyaar ho gaye", Sana couldn't help but ask.
"If I would have did that toh mujhe Freedom mil jati insab se. Mrs. Sharma ne deal rakhi thi that she will leave this home after Aparajita's marriage and even she has agreed to delete the video too lekin Aparajita end time pe bhaag gayi and sab vaise hi reh gaya but am glad she did", he said.
"Voh toh ghar chodh ke hamari shaadi ke baad bhi jaa rahi thi naa apne hi roka unhe" she frowned.
"Sweetheart video Saath mein leke jaa rahi thi voh isliye roka I couldn't afford to take a risk about that mom tak nahi phonchna chahiye voh, jeete jee maar jaengi voh bahut pyaar karti hai Mr. Shukla se voh", he said.
"Idhar dekhiye", she said pulling his face out of her neck.
She placed her lips over his wanting to take his pain away, the calm which she has always found missing from his well - chiseled face, she wants to brought that back. She couldn't even imagine what he might have gone through, a child witnessing his own father doing something like this, the thought was making her eyes teary. Now, she understood why he had always kept that women above, because he is just too scared to loose his mother for his father's sin.
"Rona aara hai baba", she asked sweetly after they broke the kiss as he was just hiding himself in his neck.
"I can't cry baby", he said with a bitter smile.
"Kyu insaan nahi hai aap", she frowned.
"Rohna kissi ne sikhaya ni sweetheart i don't know how to cry", he chuckled.
"S.. Sidharth", she chocked cradling his face in her hands and placing it onto her bosoms wanting to give him every ounce of comfort possible from her side.
"Don't cry sweetheart I have already made you shed enough tears", he mumbled wiping her eyes.
"But you can cry na baba it will make you feel lighter", she said looking into his vulnerable eyes.
"Men's don't cry sweetheart", he said closing his eyes with a sigh.
"Just stay here okay", she mumbled shoving his face onto her bosoms and ruffling his hairs lovingly.
There was utter silence in the room as none of them spoke a word. She just hold onto him to her dear life and he let her be as all those haunting nightmares which doesn't let him sleep, came crashing to him and he just don't know how, his eyes well up and he let himself loose in her hold.
