BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Completed)

Chapter 34

Shehnaaz blinked in surprise at his words and agitated with his nonchalance she lashed out at him again.

“With just a sorry and baby believe me I am not at fault” her face scowled as she mockingly imitated his words “don’t think your wrong becomes right. So do not talk to me like that” her breathing labored and her eyes were blazing with fury.

Even after umpteen tries to explain the situation to her she was still not ready to let go of it. Women !!! he rolled his eyes and sighed pursing his lips at her.

All he wanted now was for her to cool down, “Baby I did a mistake, no I did a grave mistake, a huge ass bazooka mistake. And I am sorry for the greater than great mistake of my life. I really am, but please can we forget it now? Please honey?” he pleaded again, but somehow, his apologies, his
sugar coated words were making her even more furious.

“You want me to let go of the situation?” she stiffened, shifting from one leg to the other

“yes, o please, yess” stowing away his laptop, he flung his glasses on the bed and crawled to the edge of the bed eagerly, where she stood.

“Then just answer one question for me” her choked voice wiped off the smug smile on his face

“Whatttttt?” he whined impatiently, suddenly feeling sapped due to this non stop bickering.

“What if I had been in your shoes? What if it was me coming out of a room with a guy, what if a guy came and told you he slept with me and that I am a wild kitten in bed, and what if… after all of that happened, I just came over and said sorry to you, would you forget the whole darned thing so quickly?” she sounded cold, because she already knew, he would react hysterically.

Sidharth’s face tightened, knowing
he would have broken the jaws of the guy in questions and had given Shehnaaz a good sounding for keeping things to herself.

“You don’t have an answer cuz we both know what you would do” she smirked and he bent his head in resignation.

“I love you Sidharth, yes.. I still do and I am a damned fool cuz I will keep loving you” with her free falling tears her emotions were spilling out too

“But I need time, to cool down and to think this through. Even though Devanshi’s words had no substance, but they hurt, they still hurt a lot” she cried out and turned to the chest to fetch the keys.

“You were angry the last time that I broke up with you over a text right? This time I will do it correctly and to you face Sidharth” she swiped her tears with her head still bent down

“do not call me again. Its over” she spat out one last time and opening the door, just left as the sound of the wheels of her trolley echoed in the empty hallway.

He sat there glued, helplessly staring at the half open door, totally stunned.

Did she just leave? No did she just break up with me and leave? And am I feeling torn out? Really? Being in a relationship is no joke, It is a fucking relentless job. No wonder my friends were wishing me good luck. He was pulled away from his thoughts with the buzzing of his phone.

“Yes” his habitual mundane reply to his PA Hazel

“Sir, you are not in office yet, I hope you remember you have a lunch meeting” the notification made him sigh in despair.

He knew that the way Shehnaaz had huffed out of the house, all she will do is reach home and cry her eyes out and direct all her angst on food starving herself.

He couldn’t let that happen. He had to go after her.

“Hazel clear my schedule” his lips faltered as he uttered those words knowing he had been ignoring his work way too much lately, which up until now was his number 1 priority.
