CHAPTER 108 NURTURING US

Sidharth finished his shoot and came back to his vanity.. “Naira, bache.. How have you been?” asked Sidharth, pulling her in a hug…
“Everything’s good.. Just, missed you in the past few days..”
“I know, bache, I am so sorry.. Bas ye ek project complete ho jaye mai sab ke sath rahunga.. I have been really busy..” said Sidharth and Naira smiled at him, “Relax Mamu, I know…”
Shehnaaz was packing Sidharth’s stuff and once done, the trio headed back home… Naira was escorted by the team and she sat in the back seat… Sidharth and Shehnaaz came from behind, the media clicked them and they posed for a minute and then they sat in the car…
Sidharth adjusted his seat and reclined it wanting to sleep… But he wasn’t comfortable..
“Adith, side me rok, mai peeche jaa raha, Naira tu aage aa ja…” said Sidharth and Adith stopped the car in a corner and Sidharth sat with his baby, he lay on her lap and Adith drove..
Shehnaaz laughed at him, “Nona Putthu hai tu, sachi..” said Shehnaaz.. He glared at her, “Aww Mera Baby, koi na.. Chal so ja ab…” said Shehnaaz and he obeyed..
Naira loved looking at these two being their happy selves, together.. She woke him up once they reached home… Naira walked to her house and SidNaaz to theirs…
“Khana garam kar ke laati hu.. Kapde change kar ke fresh ho jaa..” said Shehnaaz as she took out a pair of shorts and tshirt… He made a face, Shehnaaz looked at him and pecked his lips.. “Ab karle..” saying so, she walked out of the room and heated the food…
She took the food in the bedroom itself, fed him, ate and finally drifted off to sleep…
Sidharth had an early day, she woke him up, made breakfast for him… He got ready and ate with her…
“Dhyan rakhna, Meri jaan.. Mai nai rahunga to please khane ka dhyan rakhna, samjh me aaya? Don’t skip meals..” said Sidharth, tucking her hair behind her ear.. “Khana to tu nai khata hai.. Mai Maa ke sath rehti hu din me.. Please Kullu, tu khaa liya kar na.. 10 min ka time nikal liya kar..” said Shehnaaz, pouting her lips…
Sidharth pulled her closer, took her lips in his and kissed her like there’s no tomorrow…
He then pressed his lips on her forehead, “Kha lunga.. Mai juice wagera peete rehta hu..”
Shehnaaz hugged him, tight.. He rubbed her back, “Is everything alright baby?” asked Sidharth as he felt her restlessness but she covered it, “Kuch nai bebu, sab thik hai.. Bas wo medicine li hu na isliye..”
Sidharth rubbed her arms once and kissed her cheeks before leaving for work.. As he sat in the car, he called her, “Baby..”
“Haa Sidharth..”
“So ja thodi der, you need to rest..” said Sidharth and she agreed.. “Uth ke call karna..” said Sidharth.. “Haa, Putthu.. Tu araam se kaam kar mai thik hu..” saying so they disconnected the call and she went to bed.. She tried to sleep but wasn’t able to… She took her phone and scrolled down her phone, carefully seeing all the headlines posted regarding Rehan and herself…
She called Kaushal, “Hey Shehnaaz.. Whats up? Ready for tomorrow’s shoot?” asked Kaushal…
“Haa, sab thik hai, ye mere aur Rehan ke normal hangout pictures kyu reveal ho rahe hai?” asked Shehnaaz..
“Channel ka koi strategy hogi tum dono se TRP lene ka.. Don’t think much… Kuch hoga to I am here..” said Kaushal and discussed about the shoot timings..
“Kal 10 bje subhe aana hai and as much as I know you, your shoot will be done by evening 7pm mostly..” said Kaushal…
“Sirf ke din ka hi shoot hai kya?” asked Shehnaaz.. “Nai, aadha sequence yaha shoot ho raha hai, ek din me khatam hone wala hai.. Remember, outdoor shoot hai, Lonavla wala.. Waha hoga baaki shoot… Weekend pe.. So abhi filhal just a day shoot..” said Kaushal and they disconnected the call..
Shehnaaz lay on the bed again and hugged Pinku.. She fell asleep in a while and Naira came to see how was Shehnaaz.. Naira saw her sleeping and so she moved out of the room and settled on the couch of the drawing room…
Shehnaaz woke up in a while and saw Naira’s text, “Mami, I’m in the drawing room.. Dar mat jana..” said the text…
Shehnaaz called Sidharth, “Hey Baby.. Uth gayi meri jaan..” said sidharth, picking up the call in just two rings..
“I miss you Bebu.. Kab aaega ghar?” she said, her face turning into a frown.. “Meri jaan, aise mayus ho jaegi to mai shoot kaise karunga.. Mera bacha, aaja yaha agar itna miss kar rahi hai..” said Sidharth getting restless seeing her all upset…
“Nai Sidharth, tu pareshan mat ho.. Wo bas mera na mood swing ho raha hai.. Mai baad me baat karti hu..” said Shehnaaz and disconnected the call..
Sidharth texted Naira, “Where are You?”
“At your house.. Is everything okay?” asked Naira.. “Is Shehnaaz fine?” asked Sidharth..
“Mamu, I’m asking you a question and you’re not answering.. Well. She’s asleep. I’m in the drawing room.. kya hua hai?” said Naira..
“She is getting weird mood swings and she just hung up on me without even listening to me.. Is she down?” asked Sidharth…
“I don’t know.. Let me see and tell you.. Nani has made lunch so Mami will get it for you.. Don’t worry, she will be around you soon..” said Naira and Sidharth was relieved..
Shehnaaz walked out of the room, holding her stomach.. She hugged Naira, “Mami, kya hua? Sab thik hai?” asked Naira as she tried to understand what had happened to her.. “Haa. Kya hona hai.. Bas wahi, pet dard ho raha hai..” said Shehnaaz and Naira held her hand, “Koi naa, aap to strong ho.. Chalo breakfast karlo.. Mai bhi nai kari hu, sath karte hai.. Maine pancakes banai thi, batter leke aayi hu.. Aap fresh ho jao, mai banati hu dono ke liye..” said Naira..
Shehnaaz agreed, went to freshen up and came out, had breakfast with Naira and they both walked to Didi’s place where Mom was staying..
“Maa!” cooed Shehnaaz as she hugged mom.. “Mera bacha.. Sab thik hai na?” asked Mom and Shehnaaz just smiled…
“Ye le, khana ready hai, tum dono ke liye.. Chali jaa Sidharth ke pass, ye jo tera man machal raha hai sab thik ho jaega..” said mom as she read her eyes…
“Maa, mai sachi thik hu, nai soch rahi Sidharth ke bare me,,” said Shehnaaz as she looked away, blushing..
“Bas kar, Maa hu mai.. sab samjh aata hai.. Ab chal bhag..” said Mom, laughing at her and Shehnaaz left with lunch.. Sidharth was busy shooting when she reached.. She kept the food inside the vanity and came outside, sat on a couch and her eyes were glued to Sidharth…
He looked at her once the director said Cut and he came to her, “Awww my baby, itna miss kar rahi thi..” saying so he took her in his arms and dragged her to his vanity.. He had to change his costume and Shehnaaz’s periods had started…
He knew it since Naira texted it to him after Shehnaaz left.. Sidharth had already ordered a cold chocolate shake with extra Choco chips sprinkles for her which was in the refrigerator of his vanity..
“Shehnaaz, I know you’re down, tera kal shoot bhi hai na.. Please relax kar.. yaha araam kar.. Mai aata rahunga har ek ghante me.. Acha mai kaisa lag raha hu isme?” asked Sidharth as he was clad up in kurta style short shirt..
“Bho pyara lag raha hai.. Baal aise kyu rakha hai?” asked Shehnaaz…
“Arey aisa dikhana hai ki mai head massage leke aaya hu, isliye halka sa oil leke spread kar diya hu..” told Sidharth…
“Mera Puthu, bho din se teri malish nai kari hu, tu lunch break me 10 min extra rukna, sachi wala massage kar dungi..”
“haa, shower to lena hi hai because next scene me hairstyle change hone wala hai.. Baby, agar tera pain nai hai tab hi karna..” said Sidharth walking towards the refrigerator..
He handed her the shake, “Sidharth, tu har baar ye jo milkshake laake deta hai na mere dil ko chu jata hai..”
“Meri Jaan, chocolate me instant energy milti hai.. Isliye mai tere liye ye laata hu is time..” said Sidharth..
