The Rajma Chawal was soon ready. Shehnaaz put the lid on and washed her hands. She went out of her kitchen and unlocked her phone. " Shit! Isko bhi kya tabhi call karna hota hai jab mere paas phone nahi hota. Maar dalega mujhe yeh banda!", she exclaimed. She had 6 missed calls from Sidharth and she knew that she was not going to be spared today. She called him back quickly and he didnot answer her call. Hvaing called him for the sixth time now, his phone was switched off. "Dikkat kya hai is gadhe ko.Kutta", she scoffed and left to get ready.
Meanwhile Sidharth and Ayush had already boarded for the flight. " Na isne dhang se khane diya aur ab bata bhi nahi raha ki hum ja kyu rahe hain. Idiot", Ayush said in annoyance. "Kya bola bey?" , Sidharth mocked him. " Haan saale.Idiot bola tujhe.Bhabhi thik bolti hai ki tu kutta hi hai. Yaar kam se kam mujhe parathe toh khane deta. Noor baby ne banaye the. Abhi gussa ho jaegi" , Ayush said. "Noor baby! ", Sidharth's eyes widened in shock. "Haan woh actually hogya bas", Ayush said as he looked down and blushed hard. " Abey ay majnu thoda sambhal ke. dono hi gusse wali hain.meri wali extra hai thodi ", Sidharth chuckled as he said this.
Ayush touched Sidharth's forehead first and then his neck . He made a confused face then and shrugged his shoulders. Sidharth hit at the back of Ayush's head and said," Abey , tujhe kya hogya ab". " Yeh toh mujhe puchna chahiye. The great Sidharth Shukla ji apna pyar accept kar rahe hain. Wahi check kar raha tha ki kahin bukhar toh nahi hai na tujhe". Such a tease Ayush was! he left no chance to tease any of the two lovebirds, especially Sidharth. Sidharth cleared his throat and started reading a magazine while Ayush was busy thinking of more ways to tease the both of them. The question about why they were going to Punjab striked his mind again. He asked Sidharth bht the latter didnot answer.
After sometime, came in an air hostess. She was beautiful and even carried herself very well. Having asked the other passengers, she headed towards Sidharth. She seemed to be crazy for him and why woukd she not be? He is such a great busnessman and most of the girls dreamt of him. Having reached near his seat, she leaned towards him and asked in a very husky voice, " Sir, what would you like to have?" Though it took few seconds for Sidharth to realise that someone stood there, Ayush was gawking at the lady. * Ayush, ab tu single nahi raha beta.Abey agrar usko pata chala na toh mera bharta bana degi. Control Ayush control. Itna bhi mat kar ki apni wali ko bhi dekhne layak na bache . Sabse pehle toh wahi khoon karegi mera*, Ayush thought to himself and looked back into his book.
Sidharth looked up at the lady who was standing ; well literally falling over him, to be precise. "Sir, what would you like to have?", she asked again. " Thank you but i would not have anything", Sidharh answered. Well, the girl should have left by now but she did not. She was another Krisha in making. "Sir, kindly have something. I would be really happy. For me atleast". She probably seemed to have forgotten what she was there for. Her inner fangirl had awakened. She continuously gawked at Sidharth. above all, why would he have something for her? It was quite funny for Sidharth as he reagularly faced such fans. He was rather proud of himself. he picked up some chocolates from the tary and said," Well miss, I'm not supposed to please you". He passed her a sarcastic smile and she could do nothing but leave.
It was not just her.He had to meet many of such kind. They clicked pictures with him and some even got a note written by him for themselves, their friends and one of them even got a note for her pet. Ayush was noticing all of the events that happened.He way too much noticed even the way they sticked to him. Being a good devar, he had compiled all of it for Shehnaaz. * Band toh teri bajegi shukli *, Ayush smirked to himself.
The flight safely landed Punjab. Sidharth and Ayush collected their luggage and sat in their cab. " Ayush please Shehnaaz ke ghar pe gadha panti mat karna", Sidharth said. "Waise bhai kis khushi mein aap yeh bol rahe hain? Impress karna hain?oho..Acha?", Ayush teased agin. " Abey chede bina kya tujhe shanti nahi milti hai?",Sidharth said in annoyance." Teri sadi si shakal dekhne mein mazaa aata hai", Ayush said as he laughed out hard.
Shehnaaz on the other hand was busy selecting clothes to wear. She called out loud for her mamiji and she came running to her room."Kya hua beta. Tu thik te hai na? Itni zor se chilaya tune.", mamiji said in a worried tine."Arey mainu daso kaunsa suit acha ae", Shehnaaz said , moving aside . her suitcase was a complete mess. The dresses were folded in such a poor manner.Shehnaaz had thrown her suits here and there in the room even. " Ye kya kachra bana rakha hai room ka?", mamiji said picking up the salwar due to which she almost fell as she walked towards the bed. " Arey Sidharth aa reha na. Mera friend", Shehnaaz said in a very obvious manner. "Agar friend hi hai toh tu itni concerned kyu hai ki kaise dikhna hai. Beta mai ullu nahi baithi ethe", mamiji said and moved out of the room.Shehnaaz said there in a very confused manner as to what to wear. " Blue wala daal le", mamii shouted from the kitchen.
Shehnaaz got up quicly and changed into a light blue butterfly printed suit.It had a band gala and so didnot require a chunni. She braided her hair in a very unique way ,letting her bangs fall beautifully, complementing her face. she just applied a light pink lipgloss and wore oxidised silver jhumkas. She looked the perfect version of herself; cute, beautiful and above all , a typical punjaban.
It was already half past two.Sidharth was supoosed to reach by 2:00. Shehnaaz was waiting for him and so was her uncle and aunt. It was her aunt who was way too eager to see him. She was sure that something was surely brewing between the two while mamaji already knew it. Her mamaji was her best friend. She shared literally everything with him. It was him who suggested her to confess.
The bell rang. Shehnaaz went outside and to her surprise even Ayush had turned up. She sneakily glanced at Sidharth but did not look at him directly. She was too shy to do that. Even in the morning when he called her, she didnot say much. She just listened to whatever he told and then disconnected the call. She jumped into Ayush's arm and hugged him tight. He was just like a brother to her. " Abey gadhe tu bhi aa gaya. Haaye amma.Mai paagal ho jaana. Yeh kya bluetooth sa lagya hua hai. Haaye mamiji wekho, singer ban ke aaya ae", Shehnaaz said as she got down and looked at Ayush and then at mamiji.She was elated to see Ayush.It had probably been a month since they met. At times it was that Shehnaaz was busy and some of the time it was Ayush.
" Oye moto. Kaisi hai? ", Ayush asked as he hugged her again and kissed her cheek. " Kitna miss kiya maine tujhe. Abey tere majnu ke bohot khulase karne hain . Pata hain ladkiyon se kitna chipakta hai", Ayush whispered in her ears. Shehnaaz laughed out hard. She said," Haaye jee lene de usko thodi zindagi. Lekin band toh iska bajaungi. Saath mein bajaenge ,mazaa aaega", Shehnaaz whispered back and giggled.
Sidharth was burning in jealously. It was not beacuse what Ayush and Shehnaaz shared but for not getting any attention at all. Shehnaaz was wrongly blamed everytime. The real attention seeker has always been Sidharth only. He looked at Shehnaaz first and then at Ayush and made a disgusting yet funny face.Sidharth went forward to meet mamiji and touched her feet. " Namaste!", Sidharth wished mamiji followed by mamaji. they were impressed at the first sight only. He seemed a very calm, composed and an innocent man to them. Well, he was succesful in his first step. He obviously had to impress them.
" Beta, aap Sidharth ho?", mamaji asked.
" Haanji", Sidharth replied very softly.
Mamaji patted his back and said," Chalo. Aajo beta andar. Oye Shehnaaz enu nahi milna ki? Andar chalo". The five of them went inside. While the rest sat on the sofa, Shehnaaz served them water. She went and sat beside Ayush and got busy with him. Sidharth could do nothing nut just sit and look at the rest. Mamiji wanted to talk to mamji. She went to teh kitchen follwed by her husband.
Mamaji hugged her from behind and said," Oye hoye. Aaj romance ka itna man ki beech mein uthana pada. Not bad Pammi ji , not bad", mamaji said. Mamiji nudged him with her elbow, and face palmed herself." Aaye haye,sharam nahi aandi? Koi kaam hai aapko aur", she said but sneakily blushed , looking to the other side. " Aap ho to kya kaam?", mamaji teased. " Sharam karlo thodi.Itne bade bache hain aapke. Acha mainu daso, ae Shehnaaz Sidharth naal gal kyu nhai kar rahi?", she asked not getting the reason for her ignoring her husband cum friend.
" Sharma rahi aa. Tension na le. Sab thik hi ae", mamaji said and went out of the kitchen taking the dishes and placing them on the table. He called the children to have the lunch and they got up and headed towards the dining table. Shehnaaz had still not talked to him. Both of them wanted to hug each other like anything but could not. Sidharth could understand Shehnaaz's condition too and hence waited for the right time.
