Sidharth took some steps towards her, while she continued moving back until her back hit the kitchen slab.
As Sidharth came more towards her, she leaned on the slab with those two mugs of coffee. Sidharth came closer to her and she closed her eyes in anticipation.
She felt him tucking a hair strand behind her ear and she flinched at his touch. Shehnaaz gasped as soon as his cold fingers came in contact with her warm skin.
When Sidharth pulled his hands back, Shehnaaz opened her eyes and saw him standing at a distance. She straightened herself and just stood there blankly.
Seeing two mugs in her hand, Sidharth decided to tease her. He already had an idea that why she had two mugs in her hands instead of one. "Mujhe koi teesra insaan dikh nhi rha Yahaan pe! To ye dusra mug mere liye?".
Shehnaaz looked straight at him. Her eyes held conflicting emotions. But her face remained emotionless throughout. She just wouldn't give in to her emotions and give him an easy excess to how she is feeling.
Sidharth raised his eyebrows at her again, when she didn't seem to answer the question. She remained entact for a while.
She then went towards the sink and threw the coffee of one of the mugs into it, while looking straight at Sidharth. She turned around and left the dirty cup in the sink and then again faced him.
Sidharth was now sure, for whom that coffee mug was. It was for him. He knew that she had a habit of making coffee for both of them during evenings. He wasn't surprised that she still made it, even when he wasn't there.
Shehnaaz had been making two mugs of coffee since she had come here. Obviously one of the reason was that she had a habit of making 2 mugs of coffee regularly, but then there was another reason as well. She really missed Sidharth and since he had come and they have been together, she didn't feel the need to come to this cottage.
So, this cottage came to her rescue again when things went wrong between both of them. She came here to take a break, which was true par koi apne aap se kaise break le sakta hai.
So, even though she could not talk to him, she could come here and talk to this wall, which had their picture. She would make two mugs of coffee and sit in front of the wall. She would sip coffee from one of the mugs while the other would remain there, in a still position.
She made it for him, but she couldn't say it when he asked her about it. She obviously knew that he knows, the coffee was made for him, but she herself wouldn't give in to him.
Sidharth sighed seeing her like that. She was hurt and even though she didn't show it, he knew it. She was mum and that silence spoke volumes of her being so hurt when she couldnt voice it out.
Sidharth isn't afraid of her getting angry or her crying her heart out. He gets scared, when she doesn't talk at all. Her silence is petrifying.
If she isn't speaking, it means that she feels way beyond what words can describe. Her emotionless face told him that he really needs to do something and that too fast.
If she keeps all of this inside her, if she doesn't let it all out, they won't be able to get back together at any cost.
He wants her to say something. He wants her to slap him, yell at him, hit him, and tell him that what he did was wrong and she is angry.
He knows that it's not easy to make her let out everything that's hurting her.
She is a strong headed woman. Actually, she is one of the most strong headed woman that he has ever seen.
She is very easy going usually, but once she decides on something, she isn't going down easily.
If she has decided that she isn't going to talk to him, it's near to impossible to make her change her mind but he has to do it because he screwed up.
He hurt like anything and he deserves it. But he isn't going down without a fight and he isn't letting her go ever.
Shehnaaz goes out of the kitchen and sits in the living room. He follows her and sits opposite her. She sips her coffee nonchalantly and opens the book she was reading before he came.
He remembers that's it the same book that they got from Pragati Maidan book fair. He smiled to himself and it didn't go unnoticed by Shehnaaz. She just rolled her eyes at the him and got back to her book, while still sipping her coffee.
"Shehnaaz ye to wahi book hai na jo Humne 10 saal pehle book fair mein li thi?", he asked her hoping to get an answer out of her.
But she just ignores him and goes on with reading her book and sipping her coffee. She takes the mug towards the kitchen and washes it in the sink and then moves towards her room.
Sidharth follows her around and doesn't let her out of his eyes. He enters her room and she looks at him in disbelief.
"Sidharth now it's enough! Are you going out of my room, actually no, let me reframe it; Are you going out of my house or do you want me to call the security?", she asked while folding her hands over her chest.
"Mujhe iss ghar se koi nhi nikaal sakta. Call whoever you want to, mujhe bhi dekhna hai kis mein itna dum hai ki jo Sidharth Shukla ko Yahaan se nikale?", he said smirking.
Shehnaaz scoffed and asked him, "Really Sidharth?".
He just shrugged and went and sat on her bed. Shehnaaz came close to him and made him stand up by holding his chin. He stood up, totally confused. A minute ago, she was angry at him and now she is coming close to him.
He was totally lost in her. She made him walk backwards and soon he was down the stairs and then out of the house, "I can easily make you get out of my house!".
Saying this, she locked her house. He was just shocked and couldn't register what just happened with him. When he understood what happened, he just took out his key and opened the door again.
He went towards her room but it was locked. He knew that she wouldn't open it.
So he just said, "I am not going anywhere without taking you!", outside her room's door.
Sidharth just leaned on the room's door and sat on the floor. He didn't realise, when he just slept like that.
Soon it was morning. Shehnaaz woke up and assumed that he might have left her alone. Although, she wanted him to go but the thought of him leaving, hurt her.
She wanted him to leave and not leave at the same time. She felt sad but then decided to proceed for the day. As soon as she opened the door, Sidharth wo was leaning on the door, fell on her.
She looked at him in surprise and somewhere her heart swelled with happiness. She was elated finding him here with her.
She didn't actually want him to leave but she was hurt as well, so she couldn't let him know what she wanted.
She just didn't want him to leave and well he didnt. As soon as as he fell on her feet, he woke up groggily and looked up at her, "Good morning baby! Waise aaj sach mein meri morning achchi hai kyunki subha subha meri baby ka chehra dekha meine!", he smiled like a goofball saying this.
He got up from the ground and realised that his back was hurting. He hissed in pain and Shehnaaz knew that his sleeping position might have hurt him.
"Tumhe Yahaan sone ki kya zarurat thi? There are two other rooms in this cottage, you could have just slept there!", she said while helping him to stand up properly.
"Han so to sakta tha, par wo room tere aas paas nhi hain. Mein bohot Dinon se dhang se nhi soya but yesterday, even though my sleeping position wasn't that good, I slept soundly because I felt your presence near me!", he said.
Shehnaaz didn't say anything and helped him to sit on the bed. As soon as he sat in the bed, he sneezed.
Oh great, now he has cold too. He slept in the cold floor that too in winters at a hill station, he would definitely have cold.
Shehnaaz just shook her head and made him lay on the bed while covering him with the duvet. Sidharth inhaled the scent of the duvet and it smelled just like her. A small smile played on jus lips.
This visit is going to be a hell of a ride and they both knew it. They both were ready for it. Shehnaaz wouldn't give in easily and Sidharth wouldn't back down easily.
What would happen now? Shehnaaz is hurt and she has a strong determination, but even Sidharth has an unmovable will power? When these two determinations clash, what will happen?
