CHAPTER 54 NURTURING US

Sidharth and Shehnaaz looked at each other and smiled, “Didi ye dekhti to khush hoti..” said Sidharth to which Shehnaaz told, “Kabir aa chuka hai dinner wagera pe, Lonavla bhi gaye hai dono ke parents ke sath…”
“Acha, mujhe kyu nai pata hai ye?”
“Oh! Hum Canada gaye the aur Naira tujhe batane ke liye dar rahi thi… Kyu ke late ho gaya tha…”
“Hadh hai.. Jaane do ab, maine kisi ko kuch nai batana a,. mujhse hi chupao sab…”
“Meri Jaan, aise mat mood off kar, please… Ho gya na wo ab mood sadha ke kya hona hai…” She explained it to him and he agreed, “Ha, abhi to Darshan ke baad us Asim ko manana hai, tu janti nai hai mere pe kitna bhadka hai….”
“Aww.. Mere baby ko koi chilla diya, koi baat nai Bebu.. Dost hai isliye hurt hua…. Kisi ko to hamari fikar hai, wo is baat se upset hua ki humne usse kuch bataye nai matlab usko farak padhta hai and aaj ke zamane me sache dost hona sabse badi baat hai…” explained Shehnaaz and he agreed…. They started their trek again and they all finally reached… They were in a line to do the darshan… Adith, Kabir, Naira, Qiran, Shehbaaz, Mommy Gill, Mommy Shukla, Shehnaaz and Sidharth… They met Mommies just before the entrance of the temple and Sidharth made sure to keep the ladies in the middle and Adith and him being in the given position…. Everything went well… The group joining their hands together praying in front of Mata for the betterment of their lives and thanking Maa for providing them with such a family… Mommies prayed for their children, the children prayed for each other and Mommies and they spent a good amount of time inside the temple….
Rehan had got the Sweets for giving to the poor people and was holding it while the rest of the gang was inside….
Mom touched Sidharth’s and Shehnaaz’s heads and prayed for them together while Mommy Gill did the same with Baaz and Qiran… once done, they all walked outside and looked around the view! It was peaceful and beautiful at the same time…
Mommies distributed sweets to the poor and Shehnaaz’s eyes got stuck to a baby boy aged around 5 to 6 years crying and looking around for his parents as she guessed…
She walked towards that boy and he looked at her with tears in his eyes, “Aunty, mere mummy papa ni mil rahe, mujhe help kardo…”
“Ha bache, aise rote nai… Mil jaenge aapke mummy papa…” She said and wiped his tears while Sidharth was looking for her, “Kaha chali gayi hai ye bina bataye, kuch bhi karti hai…” he thought to himself and he smiled when he saw her close by…
“Shehnaaz, kya kar rahi hai?” shouted Sidharth and the Boy got scared! He heard Sidharth calling Shehnaaz’s name in a loud tone and looked at her, “Aap Punjab wali Shehnaaz ho?” he asked and Shehnaaz agreed… He hugged her tight and She picked him in her arms, “Aapko maine Shona Shona me dekha hai, mujhe Sidharth Uncle se dar lag raha hai, mujhe sirf aapke pass rehna hai…”
Sidharth heard this and his smile turned into a frown… Mommies had already gone back with Rehan and Sidharth walked where Naira Kabir and everyone else were… Shehnaaz walked behind him with the boy in his arms..
“Mamu, is everything alright?” asked Naira to which Sidharth pointed towards Shehnaaz coming with a child…
Shehnaaz kept him back on the ground and asked him his name, “Aapka naam to batao..”
“Mera naam Kabir hai…”
Kabir heard this and came forward, “mera naam bhi Kabir hai, aap mujhse dosti karoge?”
The child nodded and Shehnaaz went to Sidharth, “Bebu, maine samjhaya tha na… ye dekh, kitna chota hai… Tujhe aise dekh ke dar gaya hoga, tu please dil pe mat le…” She said and He didn’t say anything….
Both the Kabir’s had mingled up together and thankfully the child had their parents’ number with him… But there was network issue so it was no point calling them… Sidharth was impressed with the way Kabir handled the kid but Shehnaaz suddenly disappeared so this kind of scared Sidharth making the little Kabir scared of him….
“Sidharth, hume is bache ki help karni chahiye na?” asked Shehnaaz in the cutest possible voice..
“Ha ab ye bhi kar lete hai… yehi bach gaya tha karne ke liye.. Wo bhi darta hai mujhse.. Kaise maanega mere sath aane ke liye.. Baby you are coming with me, I am not sharing you with a child whom you have just met..” whined Sidharth!
Oh! this Manchild was difficult to deal with.. He could be jealous of nothing but everything…
“Sidhaaartthh, chup kar.. Kabir!” she called him and he walked to her… “Ye dekho, ye mere best friend Sidharth hai.. Aap daro mat unse.. Wo bohot ache hai..”
Kabir looked at Sidharth and he smiled at him, “Hello Kabir, aapko hum Mumma Papa ke pass leke jaenge.. Chaloge hamare sath?” asked Sidharth and Kabir nodded in agreement… “Mai aapko chocolates dunga aur safely leke jaunga okay?” he asked and Kabir nodded in agreement…
“Aap abhi bhi dar rahe ho mujhse? Bache, I will not harm you, mai aap pe gussa nai karunga, hum sath sath neeche jaenge… Mai aapko girne nai dunga… Mere dole Shole aapko pasand hai?” He asked and Kabir smiled, “Haa Uncle, mere aise dole banana sikhaoge?” The child asked and Sidharth smiled, “Aap seekhoge mujhse to mai sikha dunga!” said Sidharth and forwarded his arms towards Kabir to take him in his arms and Kabir hopped in his arms!
Sidharth felt a little better and he asked the rest of the gang to come up when he saw Kabir shouting at Naira…
“Naira, you will get cold. Why don’t you understand and listen to me for once?” he said as he made her wear the jacket which she was denying to wear…
“I am jot feeling that cold why can’t you just understand?” she growled back at him..
Shehbaaz and Qiran went to them.. “Relax karo, Naira, thand aisi nai hoti hai Bombay me.. Please pehen le… aur Kabir, abhi tu shant ho ja..”
Sidharth was about to walk to Kabir when Shehnaaz stopped him, “Ruk Ja, abhi kuch mat bol..” said Shehnaaz..
“Aise kaise chilla dega wo sabke samne… Tu rok kyu rahi hai mujhe. Jab to nai ruka Naira ko chillane se..”
“Sidharth Pagal mat ban.. Tune bhi aisi galtiya kari hai past me, usko bhi karne de… seekhega… wo kuch galat nai bol raha hai bas tarika galat hai.. Usse to akele me Baat karna warna jo uska dar hai tere se wo tu aur badha dega…. Please Sidharth try to understand.” She said and held his hand…. He had to option but to agree to her…
Kabir apologized to Naira but Sidharth didn’t see that…. He tried to divert his mind by being friends with little Kabir..
Shehnaaz smiled as he saw Kabir being less scared of Sidharth and they all walked down… Sidharth was being extra careful with Kabir… He was teaching him how climb down a hill and how to pause when necessary….
“Mai Kabir ki help kar rahi thi toh chidh raha tha, ab khud mujhe bhul ke uske pass chipka hua hai, kutta” She murmured as she walked With Naira and KABIR…
“Tum dono ko achanak kya hua?” asked Shehnaaz to Which Kabir replied, “Kuch nai hua hai Sana mami. Ye bas mauke dhoondhti hai mujhe pareshan karne ke…”
“Sana mami ho gayi ab teri. Wah! Mami, you choose aap kiski team me ho batao mujhe abhi ke abhi..”
Shehbaaz and Qiran decided to pull Shehnaaz’s leg, “Ha Sana, bata dey.. Kiski team me hai.. Fir hum bhi decide karenge.. Ab hum dono ka decision tere hath me hai.. Soch le..” Shehnaaz glared at both of them and then at Naira, “Ye Team toom na apne Mame se kehna.. Ghusa padha hai us bache me.. Tum dono bhi Pagal hi ho.. Naira tera kya reason hai jacket nai dalne ka?”
“Mami, agar thandi jagah aaye hai to weather enjoy karna chahiye na, wapas garam kapde pehen ke kya matlab?”
“Ha to madam, agar aisa kuch karna hai to body ko ek din is climate se used to hone de.. Pehle hi din bina jacket ke nachegi to bimar padh jaegi fir royegi pura trip..” said Shehnaaz and KABIR smirked at her..
“Dekha, Mami is so right and my point was the same..” said Kabir making Naira upset…
“Mujhe Baat hi nai karna. Mai Jaa rahi hu Mamu aur us pyare wale kabir ke pass.. Is Kabir se mujhe koi lena dena nai hai..” She said and walked towards Sidharth…. Shehnaaz and BaazQiran laughed seeing Kabir so nervous..
“Relax kar, Mamu bhanji ka gussa aisa hi hai aur wo hum dono se naraz bhi hai reh sakte.. Neeche Jaake thik ho jaegi.. Tu mere sath reh..” said Shehnaaz and made Kabir comfortable because Shehnaaz knew Sidharth will take Kabir’s class once they will reach the hotel…
