"Tohh aab kya badal gaya?" she asked him. He thought he can't keep her happy so he did all those things to make her life difficult enough to make her agreed to the marriage. And now he is doing all these to make her stay with him. He is confessing or we should say answering all her question just to stop her from leaving. And she saw a fear in him to lose her. So she had to ask, what changed?

"Main." He answered after taking a little time thinking all that in his logical mind. 


She again froze. Thinking all these behind his answer. Was it exactly what she was thinking? Did he just developed some feelings for her? Or she was misunderstanding like before.

So she didn't take chance and asked

"Matlaab?"

But he didn't say what he should have or she thought he would say.

"Now, I will do anything to keep you happy. Or I can always try to do so. Just give me a chance to prove. I will do anything for you." He said with his the most convincing tone. That can go straight to someone's heart. And it did. Shehnaaz felt his word were true. Since their marriage he never did anything that can make him unworthy of trust. But even his saying all these with this confidence with those open like ocean eyes can make anyone believe in whatever he said. So that applied on Shehnaaz too.

Though he didn't say anything what she thought but even she felt good. All her life she was alone. First in her Mama Mami's house, then in her hostel. Her parents never supported her. Never they did anything that can provide her some confidence in them. Him, saying all these thing to her gave her some kind of feeling of protection that she longed for, all her life.

She wasn't a girl who is dependable or weak who needs someone to protect her. She can protect her well. But even the strongest of the person also needs some affection and care.

He took his hands back from her cheeks.

"Bolo, Will you give me a chance? To start a fresh... You and me..." he moved a bit back.

Shehnaaz felt so empty without his hold in her face. She was again confuse what to answer him. After all these months suddenly this change. She needed time..

"Wohh, Main,, Aabb.." she mumbled.

"Tumhe time chahiye?" he guessed. Bending his head a little to her. Never leaving his eyes from her for once.

"wohh" she hesitates after what he said.

"It's okay Baby. You can take your time. As long as you are not leaving the home, I can wait. Otherwise darwaza nehi kholna mujhe." He joked. She tried to hold and fake anger because he locked her but couldn't and burst into laughter. After a long time of serious discussion that can change their life. He joined her too. This was way too funny for them. He locked the door to stop her. He wasn't a man to do this kind of stuff. She felt disgusted when he did that but now she found it so childish. Of course he can't keep her captive like this. She wouldn't buy it. That was an absurd idea but it was necessary to calm and stop her that moment.

They both laughed their heart out. Shehnaaz rarely saw Sidharth laugh like this. He held his belly as it was hurting.

"Stop it. It's hurting." Sidharth said amidst his laugh.

"Main kya karri hu" she also answered just like him.

It was now 2 in the night. Shehnaaz still sitting in bed resting her back in the headboard. Looking at her hand that was in his hold. He is sleeping on his chest holding her hand tight. His face was facing her. She looked at his cute pout what was a result of his sleeping on his chest and his face resting on one cheek. It made his lips pout. He sometimes looks cute despite having this huge form. She isn't felling sleepy. She is trying to digest what all happened tonight and for last two month.

Shehnaaz smiled a little how they came to this after having a huge fight and her wanting to leave the house that moment. How he was so overbearing one moment and sweet, protective, scared to lose her in another!!! How he said it all out after so many time!!! He was even jealous that she hugged Asim. That's not something she expected her handsome doctor husband to get. People gets jealous for someone who they feared to lose.

She remembered how he was sleepy but wasn't sleeping as she was still sitting some minutes before. She watched how his eyes were getting heavy and slow in movements. She knew he was very sleepy. Regularly she saw him getting sleep in around 11 but it was midnight. He tried keep himself awake because they were talking like that for the first time. She saw this big handsome guy struggling to keep him awake like a baby who doesn't want to sleep. A little time later he adjusted a huge pile of pillow under her shoulder and rested on his side looking at her still having her one hand in his hold. Then he slept. She chuckled.

She then got in her back and closed her eyes. Thinking what to do. Her heart was already agreed to him but her mind wasn't allowing her to take any decision that soon.

******

There was a ring on phone. It was her's. Shehnaaz opened her eyes to see who it is to realize the sound wasn't coming from the room. It was from the living room where all her belongings were scattered everywhere. Thanks to Sidharth of course. She looked on her side where Sidharth just woke up and stood up pushing his one hand to his pants pocket pulling out a key from there and started walking towards the door. He unlocked it went in the living room to bring it. Shehnaaz looked at the watch to see the time. It's 6 in the morning. Who would call her at this time? She prayed everything was good. He came back with her phone. But it wasn't ringing anymore. He looked dull. Due to lack of sleep maybe. She didn't get up. She just adjusted a pillow and rested her head a little high.

He sat on the bed handling her phone to her. She checked who the caller was.
