CHAPTER 166 NURTURING US

Sidharth knew Shehnaaz was guilty but he couldn’t melt.. He was being selfish this time.. He was keeping himself before her..
“Sidharth.. Mai maan rahi hu apni galti.. Meri baat ek baar samjh jaa.. Har baar samjh jata hai na.. Riya kaise bol rahi thi tere bare me.. Wo bhot supportive hai, wo aise hai wo waise hai.. Aise bol rahi thi jaise tu mera nai, uska hai..” said Shehnaaz..
“Uske bolne se kuch ho jata hai kya.. Tumhare dimag me jab tak ye nai jaega tab tak tum kabhi kuch nai samjh sakti.. Mai jaa raha hu bahar.. Nai rehna abhi yaha mujhe..” said Sidharth, pushing her arms away, leaving her broken..
“Sidhaarth..” She called out, running behind him, holding him again before he could step out of the room..
“Ek last chance dede, please..” said Shehnaaz, now sobbing.. “Haa, ab ro do.. Ho gaya.. Har baar same cheez Shehnaaz.. Mai nai kar sakta ye.” Said Sidharth, stepping out of the bedroom, leaving her to cry alone..
“Sirf mai thodi na galti karti hu.. Jab ye karta hai toh mai bhi maaf kar deti hu na..” said Shehnaaz, looking up at the sky, as if talking to God..
Naira saw Sidharth storming out of the bedroom.. “Mamu..” called Naira and he looked at her.. “Yes? Something urgent?” asked Sidharth..
“Mamu, come inside now..” said Naira holding his hand and took him inside.. “What are you doing Mamu?” asked Naira..
“What? Tujhe har baar mai hi galat lagta hu? Kabhi Shehnaaz galat nai lagti? Tu janti bhi hai hua kya hai?” said Sidharth and continued, “Oh haa, tujhe toh bata diya hoga.. Mere khandan ko apna bana ke rakhi hai..” blurted out Sidharth…
“Like seriously? You are saying this? You wanted a girl who could make your family hers and treat your family like her own.. Aapko samjh aa raha hai ki kya bol rahe ho? Aapki bhi kitni galtiya Mami ne maaf kiye hai.. Aapko ye samjh nai aa raha? Mai ye nai bol rahi ki unki galti nai hai.. Hai unki galti, mai man rahi hu lekin kitna bhadkoge? Jab aap se pichli baar mami naraz hue the aur aap bimar they, unhone naraz hoke bhi aapka dhyan pehle rakha tha..”
“Haa to maine bhi dhyan rakha hai.. Sulaya usko.. Chor nai diya akele rone ko..” said Sidharth in his defense..
“Mamu what are you even saying? Han? Khali raat me rone nai diye toh sab sahi hai? abhi Mami ro rahe hoenge toh thik hai? please, calm down a bit.. Even you know you love her and you can’t stay sane without her, so stop being sooo cold towards her.. Abhi Shehbaaz bhi hai yaha.. What will he think?” said Naira..
“Why are you so fucking mature..” Growled Sidharth.. “I can stay sane without her too.. I have work and I’m going out now..” said Sidharth and stormed out of the house..
He had to go out in the evening so he went to Preeti’s house.. “Welcome home Bhai.. Kaisa hai?” asked Preeti as she welcomed her brother home.. “I am good.. Maa kidhar hai?” asked Sidharth, his eyes searching for mom all around..
“Kamre me hai.. Sab thik hai?” asked Didi.. “Haa, tu araam se reh.. Mai bas Maa ko miss kar raha tha..” said Sidharth and walked into her room..
“Mere Bache.. Aa gaya milne..” cooed Mom and hugged her son, a child in a man’s body..
“I miss you Mom.. come back soon..” said Sidharth, resting his head on his mom’s lap.. She brushed her fingers in his hair and he looked at her..
“Bolega?” asked Mom and he told Mom everything.. “Bache, you are not wrong but I would suggest not to stretch the fight so much.. Naira’s engagement is on the way and you both can’t be fighting like this.. She forgives you very easily all the time bache.. you try to do it too.. After all, she is your wife..” said Mom, politely, unlike Naira and things went into his mind..
“Thik hai, lekin I am really upset.. I’ll take my time…” said Sidharth and mom didn’t say anything to him.. She never interfered between them unnecessarily.. She knew he was angry and at the moment he won’t listen to anyone..
In Shukla Niwas, Naira walked into Shehnaaz’s room after Sidharth left and hugged her tight.. Shehbaaz felt something was wrong and Sidharth wasn’t at home so he also walked in and saw her sister crying with Naira..
“Oye Motto..” said Shehbaaz and naira left Shehnaaz and handed her to Baaz.. “Kya ho gaya hai? Rona band kar Putth.. Mai hu n tere sath..” said Baaz, rubbing her back and trying to calm her down…
He heard what Naira told him and decided to not say anything which would make the situation worse.. “Acha jaane de, usko space de thoda.. hurt ho gaya hai.. Zyada mat soch wo maaf kar dega..” said Baaz..
Shehnaaz somehow managed to stop crying and asked both of them to leave her alone.. “Aise kaise akele chor de aapko.. Please shant ho jao na Mami..” said Naira..
“Maine usko naraz kardi hu jo mera itna karta hai.. Mujhe nai baat karni kisi se bhi..” said Shehnaaz, walking away from Baaz and Naira and they had no option but to leave the room..
“Ummm, kya kare hum?” asked Naira.. “Pata nai, Sidharth hi kuch kar sakta hai.. Ye aise nai maanegi.. Jab tak Sidharth maaf nai karega ye apne aap ko blame karti rahegi..” said Baaz..
Sidharth sat next to mom, silently.. Didi knocked the door and came in, “All good?” She asked again and he nodded..
“Khana ready hai.. Aa jao..” said Didi and Mom got up along with Sidharth..
He couldn’t eat much.. Mom and Didi looked at each other and Didi understood something had happened with Shehnaaz and that’s what made him that upset..
“Mai aata hu, there is some promotional event with the team.. I will go home, change my clothes and leave..” said Sidharth, getting up from the dining table and didn’t even wait for the ladies to respond and left Didi’s house..
As he left, Mom told Didi everything and they both prayed for SidNaaz to sort out soon.. Sidharth again didn’t take the keys with him.. He rang the bell and Naira and Baaz decided to go into their rooms and not open the door..
Sidharth got irritated and rang multiple times.. Shehnaaz ran to open the door and he growled at her, “Darwaza kholne nai hota hai tumko.. Hato ab samne se.. Mujhe bahar jana hai..” said Sidharth..
Shehnaaz was silent.. She didn’t say anything and simply followed him into the bedroom.. “Sidharth, mai kapde nikal deti hu.. Kya pehenna hai?” asked Shehnaaz but he didn’t reply..
He was standing in front of his closet and was looking out for something.. “Isko nai pasand hai na jab mai sleeveless shirt pehen ke bahar jata hu.. Ab yehi pehnunga..” thought Sidharth to himself and grabbed a denim ripped, half sleeves shirt with denim shorts and white sneakers..
“Sidhaarth, baat bhi nai karega.. Mai sachi apni galti maan rahi hu.. Please Puchu..” cooed Shehnaaz but it seemed like he had turned his heart off and was not in a mood to melt easily this time..
He changed his clothes and was searching for his watch which would go well with his outfit.. “Ghadi ka jagah change kari thi.. Mai nikal deti hu na.. Please..” said Shehnaaz, resting her hand on his bare arms and suddenly, he started melting..
“Fuck!” He murmured under his breath when he found himself under her spell.. “Silver wali chahiye.. Rado ki..” said Sidharth, making her smile a little and she took it out..
“Thanks.” He said and sprayed perfume all over himself and looked into the mirror.. His eyes fell on her, standing next to him with swollen eyes and red nose and a sad pout.. He looked away and walked out, “Dinner bahar hi hai mera..” lied Sidharth and left without even looking at her..
She sat on the floor and hugged her knees as she cried more.. “Mai har baar maaf kar deti hu, mujhe lekin nai karta ye maaf.. Ab bhot hua.. Mera dimag sadh raha hai ab..” said Shehnaaz, who started getting upset with him..
Sidharth called Adith and he told him, “Bhai, aaj aapne bole the free day hai toh mai car servicing me diya hu.. Do teen ghante aur lagenge.. Kuch urgent hai?” asked Adith..
“Ek promotional event ka achanak se pata laga, mai batana bhul gaya tujhe.. Chal mai manage karta hu..” said Sidharth and ended the call.. He was angry so he didn’t take Shehnaaz’s car..
His phone rang and it was Kaushal, “Bro, where have you reached?”
“Yaar, I forgot to inform Adith about this and he has taken my car for servicing..” said Sidharth, scrunching his nose and standing in the lobby of his building..
“I am in your building’s lane, come out I will pick you up..” said Kaushal and Sidharth agreed..
The event went well and Kaushal had to leave in between.. While returning back, “Aapki car nai dikh rahi.. Kaushal ke sath aaye the?” asked Riya and Sidharth nodded..
“Mai drop kar du ghar?” asked Riya and he agreed..
“Thank You.” Said Sidharth, politely.. Riya slept on the way and rested her head on Sidharth’s shoulder.. Shehnaaz had gone down in the society’s garden.. She saw a car coming and Riya’s head resting on Sidharth’s shoulder.. Her heart broke..
“Gussa hai samjh aata hai.. Lekin ye aisa kyu kar raha hai.. Itni bhi badi galti nai thi meri jo ye aise hurt karega..” said Shehnaaz to herself..
Sidharth slowly lifted her head off his shoulder and she woke up.. Riya suddenly hugged him, “Thank you for being with me during the shoot..” said Riya and kissed Sidharth’s cheek..
Sidharth found this a little extra and thanked her and quickly got down the car.. She left and Sidharth made his way to the lift when he saw Shehnaaz standing right in front of him..
“Shehnaaz.. wo..” said Sidharth but Shehnaaz left.. Not waiting for his explanation..
