CHAPTER 114 NURTURING US

Sidharth lifted her in his arms as they walked into the tree house.. It was rainy season and the weather was beautiful… The cold breeze along with the rain made the weather more romantic..
Shehbaaz had Installed heaters to overcome the cold.. Shehnaaz was snuggled into him.. the set-up was normal, a casual lunch and them snuggling together..
“Shehnaaz..” He called her name.. “Hmm?”
“Baby, Chetan ne jo kiya hai mai usko chorunga nai.. Mai bas ye bolna chahta hu ki mujhe rokne mat aana.. Mujhe jo karna hai wo karne dena..” said Sidharth but Shehnaaz feared as he said It..
She cupped his face in her hands and caressed It with love, “Mera Putthu, agar tu uske sath kuch bhi karega to kya hoga? Ignore kar.. Hamare sath rehne ke uski haar hai.. mat gussa kar..” said Shehnaaz and pressed her lips on his neck.. He closed his eyes as he suddenly felt her lips on his bare neck.. She kissed deeper, her tongue roam around his skin making him forget his anger for a while..
He held her waist, running his fingers on her back.. She moved to his lips, he kissed her back his arms wrapped around her tightly, not wanting to leave her.. “Baby you drive me crazy like no one can..” said Sidharth as he took her to bed and lay over her.. She confessed this time, “I love you, Sidharth.. Tujhpe trust na karne ke liye sorry.”
Sidharth shushed her, “Shushhh” by pressing his lips on hers and he kept giving warm kisses to her!
Sidharth held her in his arms once done and tucked her hair behind her ear, “Tu ab sorry bolna band kar.. Ho Gaya ab.. Hum sath hi hai.. Samjh me aaya?” said Sidharth and she just agreed and rested her head on his chest..
His arms were wrapped around her waist, his grip was firm.. He knew they both haven’t slept much in the night and so he wrapped extra quilts over both of them and patted her head  making her sleep.. He pressed his lips on her forehead, “I can never be mad at you for long. That’s how much I love you.” Said Sidharth and she heard it.. She smiled, snuggled deeper into him and her fingers ran into his hair, making him sleep in return..
They slept for good two hours and Sidharth woke up first.. He saw his girl, sleeping peacefully on his chest, her hands were wrapped tightly around his torso..
“Mera Bacha!” he cooed and woke her up.. “Uth Jaa baby..” said Sidharth when he heard Baaz calling their name.. He made Shehnaaz sleep on the pillow and covered her well.. He quickly wore his tshirt and walked out of the room..
“Sidharth bhai, kab se aaya hu..” said Baaz as he carried the food for them.. “Haa, wo raat me barabar soye nai the Isliye neend aa gayi thi..” said Sidharth as he opened the door and let him in..
“Ye aap dono ke liye hai.. Mai nikalta hu..” said Shehbaaz. “Sath me nai khayega?”
“Nai, ghar jata hu..” said Baaz.. “Dadi kaise hai abhi? Sab thik hai na?” asked Sidharth and Baaz replied with a smile, “Haa, ab bilkul thik hai.. Khana bhi diet wala bana hai unke liye.. Jo doctor ne bole hai.. Aap dono ko dekh ke ek alag hi energy Aa gayi hai unme.. Khush hai.. Acha aaplog rukoge na?” asked Shehbaaz.. “Bhai, mai batata hu.. Shehnaaz Uth jaye ek baar.. Fir confirm karta hu..” said Sidharth..
Shehbaaz hugged Sidharth and left.. He took the food in and looked at her baby all annoyed because of his absence.. He chuckled at her and sat in the corner of the bed.. She felt him close to her and snuggled into his lap.. He took her in his arms and cradled her like a baby..
He pressed his lips on her forehead and tried waking her up again, “Shehnaaz, Uth na ja baby… Shehbaaz khana leke aaya hai..” said Sidharth..
She slowly opened her eyes and pressed her lips on his cheeks.. She wore her jacket and he served food in a plate.. They ate together and she climbed on his lap as he settled on the couch. He brushed her hair away and spoke to her about leaving for Bombay, “Baby, Dadi is fine now.. Things are under control..” Shehnaaz somehow understood he was talking about going back.. Her face fell and he felt a pain in his heart, “Oh, baby.. Mayus mat ho ja.. Dekh, tera outdoor shoot weekend pe hain.. Tu ruk Jaa yaha.. Friday aa jana shoot se pehle..” said Sidharth..
“Nai, tere bina maine ni rehna.. Tu jab jaega mai bhi sath chalungi.. Sidhaaarthhh, meri wajah se tera shoot reh gaya na…” said Shehnaaz again going into a zone.. Sidharth made her look into his eyes..
“Idhar dekh, meri jaan..” said Sidharth and she did.. “Mai bola kuch tujhko? Ki teri wajah se mujhe koi problem ho rahi hai ya kuch? Han?” asked Sidharth… Shehnaaz nodded.. “Fir kyu aisa bol rahi hai.. Aisi emergencies me teri koi galti thodi na hai.. Family is important baby; I know how much Dadi means to you.. Please don’t think like this Sweetheart..” said Sidharth making her smile again..
“Sidharth, tu best hai.. Sachi..” said Shehnaaz.. “Haa meri jaan, tere liye har cheez best hi honi chahiye….”
“Tu cheez thodi hai Putthu.. Tu mera baby, mera Putthu, mera Nona baby, mera ganda bacha. Mera Kullu hai..” cooed Shehnaaz, pulling his cheeks..
“Ha.. yehi sab hu.. Khush?” asked Sidharth and she giggled.. “Kab jana hai fir?” asked Shehnaaz..
“Kal sham ki flight.. Ghar kab jaenge?” asked Sidharth.. “Ghar kal jaenge.. Aaj yehi hai, hum dono.. Weekend me time nai milega, outdoor shoot ki wajah se.. Yehi reh lete hai..” said Shehnaaz, resting her head again on his chest.. “Okay Baby.. As you say..” Said Sidharth laughing from the inside as this little bean didn’t know that the weekend will be with each other as well.. Though they would be shooting in different locations, they had rooms booked in one resort only..
They spent the evening together, she made strong coffee and they sipped it sitting on the balcony.. It started raining and Shehnaaz jumped up and walked out to dance in the rain..
“Shehnaaz, wapas aaja, bimar padh jaegi.. Please Darling..” said Sidharth, calling her back inside but she wasn’t ready to listen.. She jumped in the mud, her feet were all covered in the wet mud and she was drenched completely..
“Sidhaartthh, tu bhi aa, yaha ka maza hi alag hai.. Tu boring mat ban.. Khadoos, aaja yaha..” said Shehnaaz on top of her voice, calling him to be with her..
Sidharth agreed just because he wanted to drag her inside… The weather was super cold and he held her in his arms and before she could protest he took her inside.. She got annoyed but didn’t have any option..
He grabbed a towel, wiping her hair and took off her clothes.. He quickly made her wear her tshirt first and covered her with a stole.. “Kya kar raha hai?” She asked, a little irritated since he didn’t let her drench in the rain much according to her..
“Bas kar Baby ab.. Mai nai chahta tu bimar pade.. tera Lonavla me shoot hai, waha bhi abhi thand hogi.. Samjh meri baat..” said Sidharth and she sulked in a corner..
In a few minutes, Shehnaaz sneezed thrice back-to-back.. Sidharth took a napkin and went close to her, he checked her temperature and her skin was hot.. “Kaha tha, bimar padh jaegi.. Samjh me nai aata hai kuch..” groaned Sidharth, making her wear the jacket packed by Mom and called Shehbaaz, “Haa, Chotey.. Tu please bukhar aur sardi ki dawa leke aa na.. Ye madam bina matlab bheegi hai aur ab cheekh rahi hai, bukhar bhi hai.. naak laal ho gaya hai iska..” complained Sidharth and Shehbaaz nodded his head and said, “Laata hu, ghar me hai ye sab common dawai, mai kit leke aata hu, travel bhi karna hai aap log ko.. Pagal ladki hai.” said Shehbaaz.. “Jaane de, itna bhi mat bol.. Jaan hai meri..” said Sidharth..
The way he was shouting at her first but he wasn’t able to listen to anyone else saying something about her..
Shehnaaz continued sulking in a corner and looked away from him.. He made a cup of hot tea, added ginger in it and got it for her.. “Ye le, mera baby.. Tu mera pyara bacha hai.. I am sorry, mai chilla diya na.. Ye ginger tea peele, acha lagega..” said Sidharth, wrapping his arm around her..
Shehnaaz melted and snuggled into him as she sipped the tea and he kissed her forehead.. “Kal travel karna hai, meri baat maanegi?” asked Sidharth and Shehnaaz agreed.. “Please, kuch zyada kaam nai karegi aur araam karegi Friday tak.. Set pe bhi mat aana.. Video call kar lena.. Thik ho ja meri jaan..” said Sidharth pressing his lips on her nose.. Stay Tuned!
