CHAPTER 109 NURTURING US

Sidharth tucked her in bed, handed her some extra pillows and asked a female team member to be with her in his absence.. He also gave her the hot water bag and she was relaxing on his bed…
Sidharth pecked his forehead once and left to do his work.. Priya was with Shehnaaz who had been with her before.. Shehnaaz was chit chatting with her and Priya told how much Sidharth was missing Shehnaaz the other day and the way he was happily surprised at her sudden presence…
“Aap dono ek dum made for each other wali vibes dete ho.” Said Priya.. “Thank You Priya..” said Shehnaaz and the comfortable position made her lazy and she fell asleep, hugging Sidharth’s worn shirt…
Priya sat on the couch scrolling through her phone.. Rehan called Shehnaaz but it was on silent and went answered…
Shehnaaz slept for a good hour and Sidharth came in.. Priya went out and Sidharth gently woke Shehnaaz up, “Baby.. Get up darling..” saying so he took her in his arms and kissed her cheeks..
“Sidhaarthh!” She called his name.. “Haa bol na darling..”
“Kal mera ek din ka shoot hai, fir weekend me Lonavla wala shoot hone wala hai… Tera bhi outdoor usi time hai na?” asked Shehnaaz..
“Haa baby, tu uski tension kyu le rahi hai.. Sab araam se ho jaega.. Tu abhi se mat soch meri jaan..” said Sidharth, trying to hide the surprise..
“Tera kaha hai?” asked Shehnaaz.. “Pune ke pass hai..”
“Wo to Lonavla se door hai na?” asked Shehnaaz.. Sidharth laughed inwardly, “Ha baby.. Kya kar sakte hai,, Alag kaam hai na..” said Sidharth and pressed his lips on her forehead..
“Acha, abhi ye sab sochna band kar.. Bhuk lagi hai mujhe.. Lunch kar lete hai…” said Sidharth and she sat on the bed while he took out lunch.. “Pehle massage kar du?” asked Shehnaaz and Sidharth grinned like a happy baby.. “Lekin baby, tujhe pain ho raha hoga na? jane de..” said Sidharth and was about to get up when she kept her hand on his shoulder, so softly that he just couldn’t get up…
“What do you do to me baby? Han?” said Sidharth, grabbing her hand and getting it to his lips.. He caressed it with his thumb and then kissed it.. Shehnaaz massaged his head for a while and then he stopped her, “Bas hua baby.. I’m fine now..” said sidharth and went to take a quick shower.. Shehnaaz was waiting for him when she heard a knock on the door, “Haan?” she asked.. “Wo Riya Ma’am puch rahi hai ke Sidharth Sir free hai ya nai..”
“Nai, wo naha rahe hai aur fir lunch karne wale hai.. Uske baad unka shoot hai.. Kuch important hai?” asked Shehnaaz..
“Nai, bas wo outdoor shoot me jana kaise hai wo discuss karna tha…” said the girl..
“Abhi weekend aane me time hai aur Sidharth apni gadi me jaenge.. To kuch discuss karne ke liye hona nai chahiye..” snapped Shehnaaz and Sidharth came out of the shower just then.. He realized what might be happening.. He walked close to her and hugged her from behind, “Shehnaaz, come in baby.. Let me talk..” said Sidharth who had a towel wrapped around his waist.. “Ruk, aise kaha jaega..” said Shehnaaz pushing him back inside and turned towards the girl, “Baad me aao..” and shut the vanity door..
Sidharth observed everything and was just looking at her, “Kya ghoor raha hai?” asked Shehnaaz who was a little pissed at Riya’s manager asking about how will Sidharth go to the outdoor shoot location…
“Baby, you are clearly overthinking,, Mai kaha kisi ke sath jaa raha hu? Mai meri team ke sath jane wala hu.. Kaushal, Adith aur Ken.. Bas..” said Sidharth wrapping his arm around her again, digging his face in her neck… “Meri Jangli Billi..” said Sidharth, as he came out of her neck..
He handed her the extra towel and she dried his hair with it.. He pressed his lips on her forehead multiple times as she loved it and they had lunch together..
“Baby, you have to shoot tomorrow.. Ghar jaa, rest kar araam se.. Mai aata hu dinner sath karenge..” suggested Sidharth and Shehnaaz agreed.. “Thik hai.. Sahi idea hai… Mai Maa ke sath reh lungi thodi der.. Naira cupcake banane wali hai aise bhi…” said an excited Shehnaaz..
“Enjoy, my love.. Keep some for me..” said sidharth as he dropped her to the car and waved her goodbye..
Shehnaaz checked her phone finally and saw Rehan’s missed calls.. “Hey Rehan, sorry wo mai Sidharth ke shoot location pe thi to phone silent pe tha.. Kya hua?”
“Kal shoot hai na aur meri car achanak kharab ho gayi hai.. Kya tu pick kar legi mujhe?” asked Rehan and Shehnaaz agreed.. “Haa kyu nai.. 10 bje pahochna hai… 9:30 ready rehna..” said Shehnaaz and hung up once Rehan agreed..
Shehnaaz spent the evening with Mom, Sidharth came back just before dinner and she clung onto him as they ate.. Mom spent a little time with both of them together..
“Maa, we are planning to go on a holiday after my shoot ends..” said Sidharth, as he massaged Shehnaaz’s feet..
“Haa, jaake aao.. You both need a vacation, good time with each other..” said Mom, happy at their thought of travelling together…
They spoke about various places but didn’t come to a final decision… Sidharth was sleepy so they stopped the conversation mid-way and walked to their bedrooms to sleep..
Mom was in her room and SidNaaz in theirs.. He held Shehnaaz in his arms and fell asleep.. The next day was a busy day for both of them..
They woke up, took a shower together, Sidharth handed her a bag of chocolates, fruits and her favourite munching snacks and also, asked her to eat healthy… She agreed and hugged him tight, “I love you bebu..” said Shehnaaz and Sidharth kissed her cheeks, her forehead and finally took her lips in his.. “All the best meri jaan..”
“Acha sun, Mai Rehan ko pick karne wali hu.. Uski car kharab hui hai..”
“Okay darling, be safe and let me know agar kuch lage to..” said Sidharth as he made her sit in her car and looked at her until her car took a turn..
He then walked to his car and left for his shoot.. Shehnaaz picked Rehan on the way and they reached their location too..
The shoots were done amazingly by Sidharth and Riya as well as Shehnaaz and Rehan.. After lunch, Shehnaaz had a break while Sidharth and Riya had an interview..
Sidharth was talking to the director when he saw Riya who suddenly slipped as there was water on the floor and he held her in his arms.. There were some cameramen who had come for the interview clicked their pictures without anyone’s notice..
The cameramen sent the pictures to the one who asked him to and posted the headline, “Famous actor Sidharth Shukla spotted getting close with his co-star Riya, on the sets of their upcoming project…”
Kaushal had kept an eye on him.. He tried to follow the cameraman but he was long gone.. Shehnaaz called Kaushal at the same time, “Haa Shehnaaz, sab thik hai?”
“Haa, sab thik hai.. Shoot ka break hua hai.. Sidharth ka phone nai lag raha hai..” said Shehnaaz..
“Wo uske pass phone tha nai.. Abhi karlo..” said Kaushal and got his men to search for the photographer..
Sidharth called Shehnaaz herself, “Haaa Sidharth! Mera Putthu.. Mai abhi tujhe hi call karne wali thi.. Kaisa hai?”
“Thik hu baby, bas abhi lunch karne wala hu, missing you..” said Sidharth.. “Tu kari lunch?” asked Sidharth..
“Nai, bas abhi sochi tujhe call karu Pehle.. Nai khata hai tu aaj kal khana time pe..” said Shehnaaz..
“Video call kar. Sath khate hai..” suggested Sidharth and she agreed..
They had lunch together through the video call and disconnected once done.. Shehnaaz finished her shoots and she looked at her phone as it kept buzzing.. She saw Sidharth’s and Riya’s cozy pictures getting viral.. As she was scrolling, she got a phone call from Baaz, “Kya hua? Sab thik?”
“Shehnaaz, Dadi ko hospitalize kiye hai.. Tu aaja yaha.. Chandigarh me hai..” said Baaz.. Shehnaaz called Sidharth but he was busy in the interview.. Riya had anxiety issues during the interview and he held her hand.. That picture was vital too.. Sidharth casually wrapped his arm around her shoulder and that picture was sent to Shehnaaz personally… His phone was out of range.. Riya Maa called her, “Shehnaaz, bache Sidharth ka phone nai lag raha hai.. Sab thik hai?”
“Maa Dadi ko hospital me admit kiye hai.. Baaz ka call aaya tha aur Sidharth ka phone lag nai raha hai.. Baaz bula raha hai mujhe lekin Sidharth..”
“Rehan hai tere sath?” asked Mom.. “Haa wo wapas Jane wala hai Punjab.”
“Bache, tu Jaa, mai Sidharth ko dekhti hu.. Rehan ke sath rehna.. Akele nai rehna bache. Mujhe call karti rehna.. Pareshan mat ho, sab Acha hoga..”
