Time passed Sidharth and Shehnaaz, lived as a happy couple, but Sid knew still she has not totally overcome her past, the betray of Karan has made her heart broken, but still Sid had hopes that someday Shehnaaz will understand his love and reciprocate his feelings. But still it hurts him, shehnaaz's ignorance, sometimes brings tears in his eyes, he craves for shehnaaz's love, sometimes he does feel that he will confront Shehnaaz, and tell her how much he loves her from years back, but then he back offs because he wants Shehnaaz to feel his love. But now he is worried that within 10 more days Shehnaaz's's graduation exam will finish, and they will complete 3 months of their married life, he is worried that again Shehnaaz will have no work and become depressed, which he doesn't want at any
cost because with college exams she remains busy, rest of the time she fights with him, her cute antics and fights which keeps her busy, Sidharth can feel that she is recovering from her depression, sometimes he purposely fight with her, and make her win, which makes her so happy. Then when she enjoys her victory over Sidharth, making faces at him, roaming proudly in the house, he feels relieved, he feels slowly she is reciprocating, and who doesn't know fights her the first
stage of Love.
One evening while returning back home, Sidharth bought her favourite black frost ice-cream and her extra large Cadbury Silk, Shehnaaz was too happy seeing this, she wanted to grab it and have a bite, but then she remembered her equation with Sidharth, and ignored and went to the room, He kept everything in the fridge, and at night when he woke up, he saw shehnaaz's bed empty, he came down searching and then when he heard sounds from kitchen, after entering he saw the cutest scene of his life, Shehnaaz sitting on the kitchen top, an ice cream bowl on her hand eating, with that munching her favourite silk. Like a kid ice cream stuck on her nose, chocolate on her lips, a cute 5 years kid, along with a grown up girl, Sid's lips went dried he so wanted to taste the ice-cream and chocolates from her face cheeks and specially on her lips, when Shehnaaz saw him, she first was shocked, but Sid kept on looking at her and smirking, shehnaaz got conscious, she stepped down, passed Sid as if nothing big has happened and kept the bowls on the sink
And while passing Sidharth she said-
Shehnaaz-waise...I didn't want to eat, but bhai kehte hai ki khane ka apman nahi karna chahiye (that is we shouldn't disrespect food).
Sid-Achha bhai ne sharing nahi sikhaya?? Sharing is caring.
Shehnaaz-Hmm sikhaya hai...but for ice-cream and Cad-bury he said...that we can be selfish.
Sid-Achha tum to apni bhai ki haar baat mantii ho...nautanki..ab sone chalee yah kahi aur bhi jana hai...
Shehnaaz-Hmm calte hai na Ice- cream parlour..woh 24 hrs walee (with a huge smile) Then both of them busted into fits of laughter...and went to sleep.
That day Shehnaaz came tired from college; she was bit upset and was in deep thought, later Sidharth came to know that next day Shehnaaz have to submit her business account project, which he over hears while Shehnaaz was talking in phone, then Sidharth remembers that she is weak in accounts, even in her high school days, before exam Asim used to sit with her overnight, even once when Asim was out of town Sidharth himself sat with her, making her understand, Sidharth was sure that this time due to her big fat ego, she will not ask for help.
At night Sidharth enters in their bedroom and see her sitting in the bed messed up, her laptop open, books of accountancy scattered here and there, and she is sitting wearing a wearing a red tank top and a white long skirt, hairs clumsy and tied with a clutcher...cuteness personified.
First Sidharth was feeling a strong attraction towards her, he felt like taking her in his arms and kissing her in her lips, which is making those cute pouts, then he remembered his equation with Shehnaaz, he knew he have to wait, but he was sure that she needs help but she will not voice out.
Sidharth- Hmm waise help chahiya kya?
Shehnaaz-I am good in studies, I can help myself. (With attitude and pride)
Sidharth-Subject is Accountancy. Soch lo. (and then very slowly) Kuch der baad Ganga Jamuna niklegi aankho se.
Shehnaaz- Kya kaha aapne ? aap samajte kya hai...I need no help...(shouting) No!!! NO!! Nops !!!
Sidharth- Dekhte hai...NO! No! Nopss!!! Tantrum queen ... fine carry on
Shehnaaz makes a face and turns back and starts typing in her laptop. Sidharth sits in the couch with a file, and keeps an eye on her, one hour passed, Sidharth knew she hasn't done anything, and when Shehnaaz goes to the washroom, he peeps in the laptop and sees that she has messed up everything, the clock was showing 1.15 AM, he saw Shehnaaz coming back after washing her face and she sits with the lappy in her lap taking the support of the bed rest, Sidharth gets up from the
couch, and goes and sits beside her in the bed , Sidharth gives her a glaring look,smirks and pulls the lappy from her and starts the work, Shehnaaz, was moving out of the bed, He pulls her back holding her waist, Sid comes beside her, before Shehnaaz could shout at him.
Sidharth-ja kaha rahii ho? Mai project khatam karunga aur tum TV dekhoge... Tiger Shroff ka dance? Repeats dekhogee loop pe..aur mai tumhara project khatam karungaa? Waise bhi tum uska dance kam, and body zyada dekhti ho...aur pata nahi yeh ladka bina
kapdo ke kyu dance karta hai??.chup chap baitho mere pass...and try to understand...what I am doing.
Shehnaaz-Aap na jealous ho? Tiger is sooo handsome ....
(Befor she could finish her praise for Tiger. Shehnaaz was stopped by Sidharth for her drooling over the TV
screen, on Tiger..he have noticed in these 3 months...and it irritates him to the core.)
Sid- Shroff tumhara project khatam nahi karega...and jealous my foot!! woh bhi ek actor se baith ke padhaiii karo...kal explain college mai tumhe karna hai tiger ka jaap marks nahi dilayega...samjhiii??
Shehnaaz-(making a teary face ) Mujhe accounts samaj mai nahi ataa...
Sid-Ha ha very funny aur dance shirtless body samaj mai ata hai
Shehnaaz-Aap sach mai help karogee??(pouting )
Sid-kaun karaga tumhara bhai? Sala class 12 mai tumharii accountancy ki exam ki daar se mujhe baitha kar business trip pr bhag gaya tha.
Shehnaaz- in dramatic way Hey Maaa Maata Ji in daya Ben style aapne padhya tha isliye I got 78/100 bhai padhate toh I would have got above 90..
Sid-Haa very funny...marks tumhare bhai market se kharid kar le aata.. above 90...Now come don't waste time , waise bhi u have to understand, tumhe hii teacher ke samne explain karna padegaa.
Both started working on the project, together forgetting everything and by the time Sidharth completed the project, the clock turn 3.30, Sid turned towards Shehnaaz and he saw the cutest scene ever, Shehnaaz was sleeping peace fully on his shoulders hugging his chest from the side, soon a smile curved on his face, he felt like taking her in his embrace, and slipping off to a peaceful slumber, but then controlling his emotion, he tugged her to bed, keeping the books and laptops away, and then
covering her with a blanket, when he was moving away, he felt a pulls on his hand, and when he turned, he saw a sleeping Shehnaaz murmuring,
Shehnaaz-Mujhe daar lagta hai babaaji mujhe Karan ki taraha Sidharth bhi chor ke bhaag jayenge
Sidharth came back sat on his knees in the floor and caressed her hairs forehead still once again Shehnaaz falls in deep slumber, she cuddled his hand and kept her cheeks on his palm in sleep Sidharth then kissed her forehead and said-
Sid-I Love u Jaan, tumhe kabhi bhi apne aap se alag nahi karungaa...bohot jald u will understand...and I will wait for u, I will be always beside u.
And then he himself dozed off sitting in the floor, head on the bed and his palms below her cheeks. Early morning Shehnaaz woke up and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw his face, she was staring at him, and soon she remembered how he helped her ..she looked at him and her eyes swelled up with tear droplets, she was feeling different as if she wants to speak out
something but couldn't she herself was failing miserably to understand what is haunting her, and soon Shehnaaz leaned forward and just when her lips was to touch his cheeks, he woke up...both were startled, and for a fraction of a second there was silence and awkwardness, then Shehnaaz just
stands up and said, I am getting late' and ran to the washroom. Sidharth even went to the washroom attached to the guest room, to get ready-
In the washroom-
Shehnaaz's POV-
Kya kar raha tha mai, I was going to kiss him, but why? Kyu? Yeah kaisa feelings hai. Karan ki betray ke baad I was broken, but nowadays Karan's name also doesen't reminds me anything...all I can remember is him...shaddi ke raat bhi maine mangalsutra todd diya tha, but Sid ne mujhe ointment lagayi...kitna purposely unhe hurt karti rahtii hu...but kabhi mujhe loudly baat tak nahi kartee...humhare relation ki equation bhi bhai ko nahi bataya ...and today I was sleeping on his palms, (she herself caressed her own cheeks) I was feeling good, I can still feel the warmth of his palm...its feel so good...kya ho raha hai mujhe..Am I falling for him,..I can,
whats a big deal after all I am his wife, and .he is so..so....(getting puzzled rather not wanting to realize) I don't know I just don't know lagta hai...accountancy ki chakkar mai I will become mad.
Shehnaaz took the bath and wrapping herself in the bath robe, came to her closet- Even amongst so many thoughts her lips curved a little producing a sweet smile when she realised that she called herself his wife, she remembered his words on their wedding night- -" tum traditional Indian dresses mai bohot khub surat lagtii ho"and she opened it and took out the dark red anakali suit
which was tempting her from so many days, but because she wanted to irritate Sidharth she kept it aside, but suddenly she wanted to look good in front of Sid, she wore it and came down.
Sidharth was waiting for her in the breakfast table, and was saving her project properly with her name and Index number...coping it in CD-Sid's mind registered someone's presence and looked towards the stairs. The world around him stopped the moment he saw her descending down. A girl in dark red netted anaarkali with a dupatta around her neck. It had silver-white embroidery
around the neck studded with white pearls. Her arms adorned with white and red bangles and silver danglers were hanging in her ears. With just pink lip gloss in kohl in her eyes, Shehnaaz was looking like a princess descending in his favourite colour. He was mesmerized by her beauty. But he felt her dress would complete just with a pinch of sindoor in her parted hairs and a mangalsutra in her neck, but he was sure one day Shehnaaz will automatically wear that on her own wish and the day will come soon. She came and sat beside her for the breakfast, kaka served it...she was feeling a bit awkward and hesitating
Sid-So, all set..for the exam?
Shehnaaz-Hmm actually thoda sa
Sid-Darr lag raha hai right? Koi problem nahi hai..maine sab kuch arrange kar diya hai..and be confident...I Know u can do it, Best of luck
Shehnaaz-Thank you help karne ke liya...
Sid-Thank u ki zarurat nahi, waise aj exam ke baad wait karna I will come to pick u up.
Shehnaaz- Kyu?
Sid-Actually Asim and maine tumhare naam ek naya project shuru kiya hai..so u have to sign the papers.
Soon they drove off to college, when she was moving towards the entrance of the college Sidharth called her back and said-
Sid-Bohot pretty lag rahi ho...
Shehnaaz-(smiling a little sheepishly) pehele kyu nahi bataya?
Sid-Kyu kit tum bhag ke change karke jeans pehen letiii
Shehnaaz-Aisa nahi hai..
Sid-Aisa hii hai...my sweetie...I mean you always do the opposite..so
Shehnaaz- Bye...(and then turning) I am not that bad (showing her tongue ran back )
Sidharth smiled looking at her cute antiques, he was having a positive feeling that soon everything will change, Shehnaaz will admit her feelings, he was caressing his cheeks, though Shehnaaz didn't kiss him, but he was sure, she was about kiss in his cheeks, and then her dressing up according to his taste, with a good relaxing mood he went to office, and that evening when Sidharth came to pick her up, Shehnaaz came running in his arms hugging him tight in front of the college, just to express that her exam went fabulous and teacher said that her project was the best, first Sidharth was startled and then he too wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her tight in his arms. Shehnaaz was super happy, but then it says that happiness doesn't stay long, when just she began to open up with Sidharth, forgetting her past, came a big blow, which may shatter her own existence her own self confidence and her willingness to live her rest of life.
After some times, Sidharth departed her from the hug and said-
Sid-So tumne bataya ki project kisne kiya?
Shehnaaz-With a cute pout, Kyu batau? Woh to mere and aap ke beech secret hai na? And aap bhai ko bhi nahii bataoge...pura credit mujhe milna chahiye...nahi to katti katti
Sid-Achha chale, kisi ko nahii bataungaa...but mujhe prize chahiyaa...
Shehnaaz- hmm done kya chahiyaa?
Sid-woh to mai baad mai bataungaa...filal wait here near the car I will bring some snacks for u , and stop playing with ur fingers I know ur hungry.
Sidharth crossed the road, it was a Friday evening there was heavy traffic, it took Sidharth some 20 mins to reach back to Shehnaaz, he came back with her favorite Paneer Chicken Cheese Roll, though he was feeling impatient but he ignored his thoughts in the mean while-
A bike came and stood beside Shehnaaz, the rider removed his helmet, and as soon as Shehnaaz, saw the person, his mind filled up with hatred and anger Shehnaaz was feeling afraid the memories of that dark night flashed in front of her eyes, but she maintained her cool as she was sue Sidharth will come in few minutes, she boosted herself Don't be afraid Shehnaaz, talk with him confidently, Sidharth will be coming just now'.
Karan-So, Miss Shehnaaz, finally here I am and you are meeting your Ex Lover
Karan says with his sarcastic smile,
Shehnaaz-Shut up Karan! Go from here I am married and you have no existence in my life. I don't want to see your face.
Karan-"Wait, wait darling what's the hurry?"
He comes forward leans from the bike and holds shehnaaz's arm,
Karan-You loved me right? Could not leave without me? Wanted to marry me remember? We have promised so many things together. Where are your commitments now?
Shehnaaz- Karan, leave me.I have forgotten you. I don't want to see your face again, just go away from my life and go to hell. I hate you.
Karan-"What do you think, I will let you go so easily? I have worked so hard for you; I have wasted so much money to impress you. I can't let you go away like this. Tumhare bhai ne mujhe police mai diya, but I know how to escape. Neither I got ur property, even I did not get the chance to taste the nectar of ur private parts, and don't boost about ur husband, because I will make sure aaj ke baad he will throw u out of his life.
He threatens her, at that moment Shehnaaz's eyes were only searching the hazel brown eyes, Shehnaaz was searching her Sid, though she was acting confident, but she was all of a sudden missing the warmth of his arms, which she was having few minutes before. Hearing the confusion, some of
her college friends, and college guards came running, the confusion started and then the old college guard saw Karan taking out a bottle from his pocket, with an instinct of his age he pulled Shehnaaz by her left hand and shehnaaz's face hit the bonnet, but before anybody could react Shehnaaz felt a burning sensation on the right parts of her body, "Sidddddhhh..." For the last time she calls her husband by his name and falls down on the ground fainting. Karan runs away from the
place with his bike.
