CHAPTER 104 NURTURING US

As Sidharth kissed Shehnaaz’s forehead, these two became the center of attraction and all of Sidharth’s friends started teasing them…
“Bhai, yaha to hamare sath reh le.. pata hai Bhabi bhot pyari hai, lekin yaha to romance chor…” said Akash and Sidharth blushed… Shehnaaz hid her face behind his arm and everyone laughed…
Akash’s wife, Misha came and took Shehnaaz away… Sidharth blurted out, “Kaha leke jaa rahi ho Shehnaaz ko?”
“Control bhai, control.. Meri wife hai Misha, Bhabi ko ladies ke sath ghulne milne dede, tu hamare sath aa…” said Akash, literally pulling Sidharth away and he eyed Shehnaaz, “Aas paas rehna, mere bina is hall ke bahar nai jana baby.. Yaha Kaushal aur Mehul nai hai aur Adith bhi car ke pass hai… Kuch lage to call me, aur ye apna phone pakad..” said Sidharth taking out her phone from his pocket and the men took Sidharth away….
Shehnaaz mingled well with the ladies, Sidharth’s ex was no where to be seen… She was married to one of Sidharth’s batch mate as mentioned earlier…
Shehnaaz looked around for Sidharth who had a glass of cocktail in his hand which he wasn’t even drinking… She was teased by the girl gang, “Ohoo, aag dono taraf barabar ki lagi hai…” said Misha and everyone laughed..
Very soon, the men joined their wives and the whole batch sat together with their wives… The DJ played romantic songs and a few couples went to the dance floor… after every song, the couples who had already danced would walk down and the new couples would go to dance…
In the end, only SidNaaz were left and the DJ played a very beautiful song…
UNKI YEH NAZAR, JO NAZAR SE MILI.. MAI PIGHALTA RAHA USME HI KAHI… MAI KHUDA SE, HA KHUDA SE KAHO, TU MERA..
Sidharth was lost in her as they danced together, his eyes weren’t leaving her all the while and she blushed and looked down to his chest… He lifted her chin up making her look into his eyes and the song went on…
KE AKHIYA BARAS-BARAS JAYE, UNKI YE NAZAR JO NAZAR SE MILI, MAI PIGHALTA RAHA, USME KAHI..
The song, the words seemed to describe their actions… He held her in his arms, his fingers dug in her waist and moved in circular motions… Her hands were on his shoulders, his grip tightened as he got her back to the floor and they just swung with the music..
KE AKHIYA BARAS-BARAS JAYE, NAINA TARAS-TARAS JAYE..
MOHE DARAS DIKHA JA RE, PIYA RE…
“Baby, listen to lines which will come now…” said Sidharth tucking the lose strand of her hair falling on her face behind her ear and his lips happened to press itself on her forehead, not giving a damn about the rest…
Everyone was adoring the couple, especially the Principal and teachers who had gathered to watch them perform…
KHONE LAGA MAI IS TARAH, AISA ASAR TERA HUA, YE DIL PE CHALE TERA HI ZOR, TU KHEECHE CHALU MAI TERI OR, TERA HUA MAI SABKO CHOD, YE MERA ISHQ NAI KAMZOR..
“I love you Meri Jaan…” said Sidharth and the song continued..
UNSE BEPANAH JOMOHABBAT HUI, MAI PIGHALTA RAHA USME HI KAHI…
The song came to an end and everyone gave a round of applauses for both of them.. Shehnaaz hid her face in his chest and he rubbed her back with one hand and rested one hand on her bare waist…
“May God bless you both..” said the Principal and since it was getting late, the teachers met the students once and went to eat.. Leaving the students alone to enjoy and be among themselves..
“Woah! You both are gorgeous..” said Misha and everyone couldn’t agree more.. “Also, very down to earth… People are crazy for you both, yet you guys gave us time separately..” added Akash..
“Oh, come on man! You all have been with me since I remember and I miss those moments.. I like being with you all because I can be myself.. Unlike in the industry, where people judge every single action.. I am not entirely blaming the industry but I am saying that I love your company more than anyone else… This being free wala attitude is something which I crave for and hence I never made any close friend in the industry…” said Sidharth and his friends got a topic to tease him…
“Achaaa Beta! Close friend han! Tere close friend, personal connection, just friends, only friend in Bombay…” said Pankaj…
“Kya bol raha hai bey..” said Sidharth hiding his face behind Shehnaaz…
Mohit held Sidharth’s arm getting him away from Shehnaaz…
“Beta, jab kisi ko pata nai tha to tu Bhabi ke liye yehi saare shabdo ka istemal karta tha, Majnu kahi ka..” said Akash and everyone laughed…
“Haa sahi kaha.. Isne mujhe bhi yehi training di thi, har interview me friend bolne bolta tha… Aur ye sab janta tha ki logo ko hum kitne pasand hai, fir bhi dost-dost wala natak karwata tha… Haye, wo bhi alag din they..” said Shehnaaz joining Sidharth’s friends and teasing him along with them…
The ladies were all praises for the couple, “Acha ab taang kheechna band karo, ye batao, just friends se Pati Patni tak ka safar kaisa raha?” asked Aanchal.. and Sidharth just looked at Shehnaaz…
She gave him a look to answer and he started speaking, “To be honest, we are still the same like we were… We never felt like we were dating at any point of life… It always felt like we were married since the time I remember.. The way she used to ask me what should she wear and the way she used to decide what I would wear in the weekend episodes of Bigg Boss till today… Nothing much has changed.. I still get angry at nonsense things at times, she stills sticks to me no matter what… She forgives me every time I make a mistake and she support me each day, each hour, each minute of my life… In the past, we were always spending time with each other and even now things are the same… The major difference is the absence of cameras which give us more freedom to love and fight as well…” explained Sidharth and looked at Shehnaaz asking if his answer was right… The answer was in her eyes which had welled up listening to his definition…
He cupped her face in her hands, “Ye mere har confession pe aise hi khushi ke aasu bahati thi, aur ab bhi waise hi aasu aate hai.. We got each other a little late in life but now that we have each other, we know we will cherish every moment coming forward in our lives..” concluded Sidharth, wiping her tears and everyone just adored them…
The night was amazing, the people around had positive vibes, they were chit chatting, sharing old time experiences and talking about their current lives… Everyone decided to meet at least once in two months.. A few couple had children too and a few weren’t had children yet…
The dinner went on smoothly too.. Sidharth fed Shehnaaz with his hands and she ate whatever he gave her without denying… He took her medicines out from his blazer’s pocket and handed it to her and she made a face as she took it with a glass of water..
They all clicked pictures together and thankfully, Sidharth maintained a good distance from his ex and SidNaaz had a great time with Sidharth’s batchmates and their wives… All the ladies had taken Shehnaaz’s number and added her in the preexisting ladies’ group…
The party came to an end and everyone hugged each other, promising to meet again and left for their respective houses…
Shehnaaz fell asleep in Sidharth’s arms on the way back and she had no idea that Sidharth had asked Adith to take them to Little Space since it was a Sunday the day after and he wanted to be with her after fighting so much…
She was too tired to wake up so he lifted her in his arms, went into his room and kept her gently on the bed… He changed into his Pajama and Shirt which she had chosen during BB14 and grabbed her tshirt too… He lifted her up gently, “Baby, ghar aa gaye hai kapde change karle..” said Sidharth but she was too sleepy, “Sidhaaaarrthh!” She cooed and he answered, “Haa mera bacha…”
“Tu karde change.. Mujhe bho zyada neend aa rahi hai.. Tere pass sona hai.. Nai so payi thi itne din, tere bina…” said Shehnaaz and drifted off to sleep again… Sidharth changed her clothes too and she wrapped herself around him and they both slept peacefully… Stay Tuned!
