CHAPTER 137 NURTURING US

Sidharth held Shehnaaz’s hand and they walked out of the room.. The weather was peaceful, neither too hot nor too cold…
“Chal, let’s go to the place where our sangeet was held..” said Sidharth and they locked their room and walked to the Open area where their Sangeet was held..
“Kya memories, hum mile ek reality show me, pyar hua, lade jhagde, kya-kya nahi hua, fir lockdown me hum jo sath they, man those are my most fav moments..” said Sidharth as they sat on the floor, dipping their legs in the pool..
Sidharth wrapped his arm around Shehnaaz, she held his hand and rubbed it with hers.. “Tu khush hai na Putthu?” asked Shehnaaz.. Sidharth just looked away, his eyes fell on the spot where he broke down in between the Sangeet, remembering his dad..
Shehnaaz cupped his face and turned it towards her, she saw his welled-up eyes and he wasn’t looking at her as well.. She held him in her arms, hugging him close and he broke down in her arms..
“Mera Baby.. Bas-bas.. Daddy dekh rahe hai tujhe.. Aise tujhe toot ta hua dekhenge to unko kaisa lagega.. Meri Jaan..” Shehnaaz tried her best to calm him down but sometimes, crying is important.. It is important to get things out of your system through tears..
In our society, men are considered weak if they cry.. But as the new age is coming, crying is absolutely normal for both men and women.. Sidharth is one such man who stays strong for his mother.. Because she has lost her husband.. Her companion.. Sidharth has Shehnaaz.. He knows she will take care of him in whatever situation will come up.. Here, he missed his father.. He missed her mother having a partner at such an age..
“Shehnaaz, I miss him.. I miss my daddy..” said Sidharth.. His tears didn’t seem to stop.. “Mere first advertisement ki photo wo apne bag me rakhte the.. Sabko dikhate the ki mera beta apne dum pe kuch kar raha hai.. Aaj mai so called star ban chuka hu, web series movies music videos kar raha hu.. Lekin, Daddy nai hai mere pass.. Nai hai mere pass.. Mai bhot miss kar raha hu unko aaj.. Pata nai kyu.. Is jagah aake, wo Sangeet wala moment mere dimag se hat hi nahi raha hai.. I wish he would have been with us, in person.. I know wo hamare sath hai.. Lekin Mai unse Baat karna chahta hu.. Unko tujhse milwana chahta hu.. Mai unke liye sab karna chahta hu lekin wo hai hi nahi mere pass.. Mere pass sab kuch hoke bhi kuch nahi hai Shehnaaz..” blurted out Sidharth in his half-broken voice..
Sidharth knows he can’t vent out his feelings in the open in front of Mom.. She will break down too if she will ever come to know about how Sidharth feels about his dad. Shehnaaz knew she will have to deal with him, alone.. She knows she can do it. But this was a sudden breakdown.. Of course, a breakdown doesn’t tell before coking but she thought this to be a holiday filled with love and laughter..
“Mera Baby, Uth chal.. Kamre me chalte hai.. Aaja..” said Shehnaaz as she got up, held his hand.. He got up and was clung onto her.. He had become her baby..
Shehnaaz sat on the bed and pulled him on her lap, “Meri Jaan, mai Daddy ko wapas to nahi laa sakti.. Mai abhi kya bolu meri sachi samjh nai Aa raha hai.. Sidharth, tu daddy ko miss kar raha hai mai samjh sakti hu.. Wo tere pass hi hai Puthu.. Baap hai wo.. Kabhi apne bacho se door nahi jaayenge… Mera Nona Baby, please rona band kar de ab.. Mai janti hu rone se dil halka hota hai lekin tu bho ro chuka hai.. Tujhe chahiye, to kal hum old age home jaate hai.. Tujhe better lagega.. Please, shant ho ja ab.. Mai aur Maa hai na tere sath.. Mere Papa ko call kar le.. Wo tere bhi to Papa hai na.. Daddy ki jagah nai le sakte, mai janti hu..” Said Shehnaaz, she was breaking down herself seeing him like that..
“Tujhe aise rota hua dekh ke mera dil fata Jaa raha hai.. Mai hu na tere pass.. Dekh Idhar..” said Shehnaaz making him look into her eyes..
“Tu pakka hai na mere sath.. Dekh, Mai aur Maa, hum dono ke ek aise insan ko khoya hai life me, Daddy.. Jinki kami aaj bhi bhot zyada mehsoos hoti hai.. Maine dekha hai abhi meri webseries ke time pe tere liye jo bhi hatred aaya hai aur mujhe Riya ke sath jodi banai hai.. Mai itne time chup tha kyu ke tu chup thi.. Meri Jaan, agar tu chor ke chali gayi na, to mere sath-sath Maa bhi toot jaengi.. Tu samjh rahi hai na… Mai nai bardash kar sakta tera chor ke jana.. I love you; I really do.. Lekin dar rehta hai.. Mere behavior, mere gusse ki wajah se kahi tu chali na jaye.. Mai koshish marta hu na karu lekin ab aadat jo dali hai itne time se, umar ke sath aadat change karne me time lagta hai.. Mai sirf tujhse hi pyaar kar sakta hu.. Mere me nahi hai himmat tere bina Rehne ki.. Mere sath rahegi na, Hamesha?” asked Sidharth..
Shehnaaz was madly shocked to listen to his words.. She understood that he was missing his dad.. But thinking about her leaving him was too much…
“Sidharth, Pehli Baat to tu ye baar-baar kehna band kar de.. Mai janti hu teri overthinking ki aadat hai.. Lekin ab tujhe mere upar bharosa karna hoga.. Meri Jaan, jaise tu nai reh sakta mere bina, mera bhi yehi same haal hai.. Tere bina ek ghanta nai raha jata mujhse.. Jab tu kaam pe jota hai, tere photos dekhti rehti hu.. Teenage me bhi mujhe pyar hua tha, lekin aisa kabhi nahi hua.. Mai teri hu, teri hi rahungi.. Tujhe pata hai, mai shukar karti hu ki mujhe past me dhoke mile.. Unki wajah se mai tere se mili.. Tera bhi past Acha nai raha hai.. Lekin hum mile, pyar kiye aur ab sath hai, hamesha rahenge.. Tu mera Nona sa Baby rahega Hamesha.. Nai, hamesha nahi.. Sorry.. Hamesha Nona Baby nai rahega tu.. Sorry Sidharth..” said Shehnaaz.. Sidharth’s eyes widened..
Shehnaaz chuckled at him, “Hamara Baby hoga na to tujhse chota wo hoga na.. Gadha Putthu.. Ab Mayus mat ho.. Aaja soh Jaa… Mai godi me sulati hu mere baby ko..” cooed Shehnaaz..
Shehnaaz knows when to be mature with Sidharth and when to be his baby.. “I love you, Shehnaaz.. I always will..” said Sidharth as he held her hand and Brought it to his lips, pressing numerous kisses over it..
“I love you, Sidharth..” said Shehnaaz and pressed her lips on his forehead..
“Aur Bhi koi doubts hai to abhi clear kar de..” said Shehnaaz.. “Abhi koi doubt nai hai.. Pata hai tu kahi nahi Jaa rahi.. Mere pass hi hai.. I am sorry for ruining our holiday..”
“Bakwas mat kar.. I am sorry ki mai tujhe flashback me leke chali gayi aur tera mood meri wajah se kharab ho gaya.. Daddy sachi tujhe aaj bhi sabse zyada pyar karte hai.. Bharosa rakh..” said Shehnaaz, slightly guilty for spoiling his mood..
“Mera Bacha, this is none of your fault.. This was my breakdown… I broke down in front of you, because my heart knew you would take care of me.. I have never cried before anyone else.. Only mom has seen me cry.. Baby, you make me feel home.. You are my home.. Mai tere samne ro sakta hu.. Ye mere liye sabse badi Baat Hai.. Please.. Let’s both not be sorry. And sleep.. I am really sleepy because I cried like a fool..” said Sidharth..
“Tu pyara sa fool hai.. Rose wala.. English wala nai.. Meri Duniya, Mera Moon, mera Star hai tu..” said Shehnaaz..
“Acha.. Sun nai hu.. Moon star duniya sab bol di lekin Sun nai..” said Sidharth and got up from her lap and lay on his side of the bed.. He took her in his arms and waited for her unique explanation, “Nai, sun nai hai.. Haye, itni dhoop deta hai sun ki meri skin jal jati hai.. Aur tu alag wala hot hai.. Isliye Sun nai hai.. Raat wali cheez hai tu, moon star..” said Shehnaaz and Sidharth smiled wide..
