CHAPTER 94 NURTURING US

Sidharth came in the vanity as soon as he could and hugged her.. “I’m sorry baby.. Itna wait karna pada na..” said Sidharth pulling her close..
“Putthu, sorry mat bol.. Kaam tha, malum hai..” said Shehnaaz rubbing his back..
“Mera bacha, aaj hurt nai hui? Wah!” cooed Sidharth and finally pulled out of the hug..
Shehnaaz was irritated waiting for a long time but his one hug and one apology was enough to make her mood better and happy yet again..
“lunch?” asked Shehnaaz and Sidharth said, “Lagi hai bhuk.. Tu banai aaj? Aloo paratha?” asked an excited Sidharth..
Shehnaaz loved how he would guess everything right, “Haa mera Putthu.. Aloo Paratha hai.. Specially tere liye..” said Shehnaaz as she took a piece of paratha, dipped it in curd and shoved it into his mouth.. His expressions told her how much he loved it and he finished eating soon..
“Baby, bas 2 ghante ka aur shoot hai.. Tu so jaa thodi der.. Kal Raat tu dhang se soi nai hai..” said Sidharth, Shehnaaz was a little surprised thinking how did he notice when he was deeply asleep..
She cleared the table and lay on Sidharth’s bed.. He sat on the couch, patted her head softly putting her to sleep.. He kissed her forehead and left for his shoot.. He asked Adith to stay near the vanity..

Once done with the shoot, Sidharth changed into his casuals and woke Shehnaaz up..
“Baby.. Uth Jaa.. Mera shoot ho gaya hai..”
Shehnaaz woke up, hugged him and packed his bag.. They walked out of his vanity and bumped into Riya..
“Oh hi.. Kaise ho?” asked Riya and Shehnaaz held Sidharth’s arm, “Ek dam badhiya.. Shoot kaisa chal raha hai?”
“It’s going really great.. All credit goes to Sid sir for being so helpful and calm with me.. He really is an amazing person at heart..” said Riya and Shehnaaz just smiled and they bid goodbye to her..
Shehnaaz was fuming with jealousy.. The way she was complimenting her man, her man’s heart and stuff made her face turn red.. Sidharth saw that and chuckled inwardly..
They sat in the car, Sidharth had already asked Adith to take them to a Roof top Restaurant.. Shehnaaz had folded her arms around her chest and her lips were pouted.
Sidharth was in awe of this ball of cuteness.. She was looking like a tomato, all red with anger.. “Baby kya soch rahi hai.. Tera naak laal ho gaya hai.. Joker lag rahi hai..” said Sidharth in a funny accent..
Shehnaaz glared at him, didn’t say anything.. Sidharth wrapped his arm around her, pulling her in his embrace.. He pressed his lips on her forehead and pressed his arm… “Relax baby.. Riya ko bas Mai dialogue delivery me help kiya tha.. Har Co actor ye karta hai.. Warna shoot late hota fir mai tere pass kaise aata..” cooed Sidharth pacifying his jealous baby..
He finally grabbed her face in his hands softly and took her lips in his for a kiss.. She melted as his lips touched hers.. He then pressed his lips on her forehead and she snuggled into his chest..
Shehnaaz looked outside the window and realized they were on a different route, “Ye ghar ka rasta nai hai na Bebu? Little Space bhi nai aata yaha se.. Hum kahi Jaa rahe hai?” asked Shehnaaz coming out of his chest but his arms were wrapped around her.. “Yes baby..”
Shehnaaz smiled and snuggled into him again.. They reached the restaurant in a while, he got down and opened the door for her.. She held his hand as she got down from his huge SUV.. He took her to the corner he booked for both of them.. They settled on the couch.. Sidharth had pre ordered the dinner and it arrived soon.. He was constantly kissing her cheeks and her knuckles..
She felt like a queen having her man right next to her.. Showering her with love.. He fed her each bite and he ate himself.. She had a wide smile on her face and he loved looking at her all happy..
“Chale ghar?” asked Sidharth and she agreed.. They reached home, mom had gone to Didis place again.. Rehan called Shehnaaz while Sidharth was changing his clothes.. He didn’t notice who was on the call.. Shehnaaz came back soon and they fell asleep..
The dinner was special, just the two of them, rooftop, the winds blowing and SidNaaz in each other’s embrace…
The next morning, Sidharth woke up early, finished his workout and looked at Shehnaaz sleeping peacefully on the bed.. He didn’t wake her up and pressed his lips on her forehead and left for his shoot..
Shehnaaz woke up after a while and found herself alone on the bed.. She took her phone and saw a message from Sidharth, “Baby, tu bhot neend me thi, mai nikal gaya hu shoot pe.. I love you, Shehnaaz!”
She smiled as she read the message and her phone rang.. It was Sidharth, “Uth gayi baby!”
“I love you Bebu!”  cooed Shehnaaz on the call..
“Chal, fresh ho ja.. Mai bas pahochne wala hu..” said Sidharth and Shehnaaz pouted, “Aise muh mat bana, tu aane hi wali hai lunch pe..” said Sidharth..
“Mai koi muh vuh nai bana rahi, laggi samjh.. Aa jaungi… kya khaega aaj?”
Sidharth didn’t stretch the topic and answered, “Sprouts aur daal chawal..”
“Bas yehi sab khas.. Thik hai.. Tu shoot chalu kar.. Acha sun, nashta kiya?” asked Shehnaaz and Sidharth replied, “Ha baby.. I’m waiting for you, come soon.” Said Sidharth disconnecting the call..
Shehnaaz freshened up, had breakfast and did the preparation for lunch.. She was scrolling down her phone when she saw a snap posted by Rehan, one of their old picture.. She reposted it and Sidharth happen to see it the moment she reposted..
Shehnaaz left her phone, finished cooking and took a shower, got ready in a casual tshirt and jeans.. She didn’t notice the picture properly.. In the old picture posted by Rehan, she was wearing the top of same color as she was wearing at that moment..
Sidharth’s shot was ready so he left his phone and went to finish his shoots.. Shehnaaz came with lunch and Sidharth wasn’t aware of it.. He was in between his shoots when she came..
Once it was lunch time, he walked to his vanity and asked Adith, “Shehnaaz aayi nai abhi tak?”
“Bhabi to andar hi hai..” informed Adith.. As Sidharth heard this, he headed towards the vanity, and looked at her cleaning his vanity just for passing time.. “Bebu! Ho Gaya tera break chalu? Jo tu bola tha wahi bana ke lai hu..” said Shehnaaz.. Sidharth’s focus went on the tshirt she was wearing..
He went shopping with Shehnaaz once and they bought this tshirt together along with few other things.. Sidharth had forgotten about this particular tshirt and he started overthinking again..
“Tu ghar se hi Aa rahi hai?” asked Sidharth as she was serving food on a plate.. She looked at him with confusion, “Haa, aur kaha se aaungi..”
She made a bite and got it in front of his mouth to feed him.. “Mai khaa lunga Shehnaaz..” He said in a stern voice. “Kha le, lekin maine bite bana di hu, ye to kha le..” said Shehnaaz but Sidharth simply ignored that and held the plate and started eating, silently..
Once done, Sidharth had to leave for the shoot.. Shehnaaz tried to hug him but he just kept his hand on her back and didn’t pull her close.. She felt something was bothering him.. She asked him, “Ruku ya jau?”
“Chali Jaa.. Meko late hoga..” said Sidharth and left.. Without saying anything.. Or even looking at her..
Shehnaaz was hurt now, she cooked for him, specially came to give him lunch.. But he was behaving weirdly..
She packed the tiffin back and headed towards home.. She was scrolling down her phone and saw that hers and Rehan’s picture was getting viral all around the social media handles and also, Sidharth’s and Riya’s as well..

She ignored.. She knew what was real and what was work.. Her mind was wandering at Sidharth’s behavior.. What was troubling him and why was he behaving like this..?

It is difficult to be in this industry.. I have mentioned it before also.. The kind of situation these two are facing is mixed.. Stay tuned to know what will come!
