CHAPTER 188 NURTURING US

“Sidharth ke sath Rehne ka asar..” said Shehnaaz and Sidharth frowned.. Shehnaaz held his huge body in her little arms..
“Acha, mera Bubbu.. Ab sadh mat..” said Shehnaaz, showering his face with kisses.. Sidharth made a face and Shehnaaz chuckled.. “Kutta. Aur muh bana.. Ma aur pappi karungi..” said Shehnaaz.. Pressing her lips on his neck..
“Shehnaaz, bas..” said Sidharth, shooing her away.. “Door kyu kar raha hai.. Chidh raha hai samjh Aa raha hai.. Lekin aise behave mat kar..” said Shehnaaz, getting irritated…
“Baby, mera bukhar tujhe bhi lag jaega.. Isliye kiss karne se rok raha hu.. Meri Jaan, aise thodi tujhe door karunga.. Shant ho ja baby..” said Sidharth..
Shehnaaz understood and sat on the bed, resting her head on the head board.. Sidharth lay on her lap, snuggling into her stomach..
“Mera Puchhuu!” cooed Shehnaaz and ran her fingers in his hair and massaged his scalp.. He fell asleep within minutes.. Shehnaaz made sure he was tucked in bed properly..
Sidharth was fine but suddenly in the middle of the night he shifted a lot.. Shehnaaz woke up.. “Sidharth.. Tu thik hai. Kya hua?” said Shehnaaz.. “Shehnaaz, baby.. Mere peeth me Dard ho raha hai..” said Sidharth, groaning with pain..
“Bubbu.. Tu godi se utar.. Mai daba deti hu..” said Shehnaaz and he obliged.. He lay on the bed and she pressed his back.. Shehnaaz pressed his back and Sidharth slowly fell asleep..
Shehnaaz stopped massaging when he slept.. Shehnaaz slept next to him, Sidharth changed his position and snuggled into his baby..
Shehnaaz wrapped his arms around him and they slept through the night..
Shehnaaz woke up first the next morning and checked on Sidharth’s temperature first.. He still was warm..
Shehnaaz called the room service and ordered breakfast.. Mom texted Shehnaaz asking about Sidharth’s health. “Maa, abhi nashta order kar di hu.. Aap Aa jao.. Extra chabi aapke pass hai na..” said Shehnaaz and Mom agreed..
Sidharth groaned in Shehnaaz’s absence.. She chuckled at him and quickly walked back to Sidharth.. “Mat jaya kar chor ke..” said Sidharth.. Mom looked at Shehnaaz.. “Ye kabhi nahi badlega..” said mom, chuckling at her own son..
Sidharth woke up and hugged mom.. “Maa, aap mere pass raho na..” said Sidharth.. Mommy Shukla came close to her son and he rested his head on her lap…
The food came and Shehnaaz took it from the waiter.. “Maa ki godi, biwi ke hath se khana.. Kya mast din hai mere..” said Sidharth, grinning like a happy child..
Shehnaaz happily fed him and the later, mom and Shehnaaz are as well.. Sidharth was slowly getting better..
The days went by and Shehnaaz started working again.. Sidharth took Mom out for sight-seeing.. The mother son duo spent their time together in the times when Shehnaaz was busy shooting..
The end of shoot was coming closer and Shehnaaz was working very hard.. She had some issues with the shoot..
She wanted a break.. “Surbhi, ek break lene bolo.. Mera dimag sadh raha hai..” said Shehnaaz and walked towards her vanity without even waiting for Surbhi to reply..
Her first phone went to Sidharth.. “Baby, tu thik hai?” asked Sidharth and Shehnaaz frowned.. “Mera Bacha, bol na.. Mai bas lunch pick kar raha hu.. On the way hu..” said Sidharth..
“Aaajaa..” cooed Shehnaaz and Sidharth’s heart sank.. He couldn’t see her like that.. He wanted to be as close to her as soon as possible.. 
“Maa, uska mood sahi nai lag raha..” said Sidharth.. “Sidharth, she’s strong.. Relax kar..” said mom..
They reached the shoot location and Sidharth rushed to her vanity.. “Baby.. Kya hua meri Jaan?” cooed Sidharth, wrapping his arm around her..
“Haa Sidharth.. Wo Mai na aisa lag raha hai faltu me emotional ho rahi hu..” said Shehnaaz..
“Kya hua? Wo toh bol na meri Jaan.. Mai kaise samjhunga?” said Sidharth and Shehnaaz looked at him with puppy eyes.. “Mujhe ek pregnant aurat ka role karna hai.. Pata nai kyu Mai itna soch rahi hu.. Irritate ho raha hai.. Meko ajeeb sa lag raha hai soch ke.. Sidharth, hamare sath sab thik hoga na?” said Shehnaaz.. She was shivering and Sidharth wanted her to calm down..
“Mera Bacha, idhar Aa..” cooed Sidharth, taking her in his arms.. “Hamare sath kyu kuch bura hoga.. Tu mayus kyu ho rahi hai.. Ek scene hi toh hai.. Kya problem hai..” said Sidharth..
“Sidharth, miscarriage wala scene hai. Mera dil dhak-dhak ho raha hai.. Mai nai kar paungi Sidharth.. Mai soch bhi nai sakti aisa kuch.. Sidharth, agar hamare sath aisa kuch..”
Sidharth stopped her mid-way, “Baby, chup kar Jaa please..” said Sidharth, pressing his lips on her forehead.. His heart felt a weird pain.. He couldn’t let her complete the statement..
“Shehnaaaz!” He kept cooing.. Trying to calm her down.. “Mera Bacha, shant ho ja na.. Kuch nai hua hai.. Tu thik hai baby, hum dono thik hai.. Please, it’s just an act.. Mat soch na darling.. Mai bhi toh Riya ke sath apni real life story se related shoot kiya na.. I know tera wala part is difficult.. Lekin, you need to be strong.. You cannot stress out for something jo abhi hua hi nahi hai.. We will take good care of you darling.. Mai aur Maa Tujhe kuch nai hone denge when we’ll be pregnant.. Tu bharosa rakh.. Sab acha hoga baby.. You need to be stress free.. You need to release happy hormones.. Mera Bacha meri Baat maanta hai na.. Please, I know its difficult lekin tu kar legi..” said Sidharth..
His words always seem to heal her.. She snuggled into him.. He embraced her in his arms.. He kept pressing his lips on her forehead and brushing his fingers in her hair to calm her down..
After a while, “Shehnaaz, baby chal.. You need to shoot this.. Mai yehi hu, tere sath..” said Sidharth, getting her out of his neck.. She looked at him with puppy eyes..
“Tu sachi yehi rahega na?” said Shehnaaz and Sidharth smiled, “Haa mera Bacha.. Yehi hu, tera shoot dekh raha hu.. Jaise cut ho jaye Mai tere pass rahunga.. I promise.. And baby you are strong..” said Sidharth..
She pecked his lips and he deepened the kiss.. He was affected too.. How could he not be affected.? He knew what was Shehnaaz’s condition.. He was hiding it well from her because he didn’t want her to be in stress..
“Mai abhi aayi..” said Shehnaaz.. She called her make-up artist, got her face cleaned and went to shoot.. Sidharth was holding mom… She was outside the vanity, giving them space..
“Mom..” He cooed and broke down.. “Sidharth, please relax bache.. Sab thik hai na.. Kuch bhi nai hua.. Tu shant reh.. Mai janti hu tere dimag me bhot si baate chal rahi hai.. Shehnaaz thik hai tere samne hai.. You need to be strong na bache.. You can’t fall weak..” mom tried her best to calm him down..
He looked at Shehnaaz giving her shot.. She hugged Diljit and she cried.. The director said cut.. But her tears didn’t stop.. Diljit looked at Sidharth who was walking in his direction already..
Diljit handed her in his arms.. And said, “Shehnaaz, relax kar Putt.. Sab thik hai.. Tera pati yehi hai..” cooed Diljit to calm Shehnaaz down..
“Thank you sir.” Said Sidharth.. “I’m sorry, she’s not in a right state to respond..”
“Arey. Nai-nai.. Aap khayal rakho..” said Diljit and took leave.. Sidharth took Shehnaaz in his arms.. She was a crying mess..
“Mera Bacha, please shant ho Jaa na.. Ho gaya, bas.. Ab kuch problem nai hai.. Calm down baby..” cooed Sidharth and he had reached the vanity..
Mom saw Shehnaaz and took her in her arms.. “Maa, aap dekho.. Mai aaya..” said Sidharth..
Sidharth had to speak for Shehnaaz.. “Guys, she’s getting emotional.. Can she shoot the further things tomorrow? I know she should be professional.. But she’s really emotional..” Sidharth was repeating his words..
“Sir, relax.. We understand.. Be with her and get our bubbly baby back..” said the director and Sidharth politely took leave..
Meanwhile, Mom tried to calm Shehnaaz down.. “Bache, shoot tha, ho gaya.. Itna mat soch.. Please…” said Mom and Shehnaaz somehow managed to calm down.
Sidharth came and packed her stuff.. “Chalo.. Let’s go..” said Sidharth, Grabbing Shehnaaz in his arms.. Shehnaaz walked with them and the drive to the hotel was silent..
They ordered dinner and Mom went into her room.. Before leaving, “Ye soh jaegi toh mujhe batana.. Mai jaag rahi hu..” said Mom..
“Mom, agar late hoga toh aap so jana.. Mai usko bahar leke Jaa raha hu.. Beach garden me..” said Sidharth..
“Hai aisa kuch hai toh acha hai.. Take her out.. Uska dimag shant karwa.. Mai thak bhi gayi hu, so jati hu..” said Mom..
“Sorry Maa..” said Sidharth.. “Aree.. Relax bache.. I can understand..” said Mom.. Sidharth went to Shehnaaz.. She was curled up in the bed.. “Baby, Uth..” said Sidharth..
She opened her arms and he picked her up in his arms.. “Mera Bacha hai tu…” cooed Sidharth. Stay Tuned!
