Hamesha and Forever - Sidnaaz

Chapter 1

Shehnaaz

Everything was a blur as she was pulled around for interviews - one after the other. Her palms were sweaty and her head had started to hurt; but she still had a genuine, broad smile across her lips - she had earned all this, all by herself. She deserved it and thereby she was determined to enjoy and cherish every bit of the newly acquired attention that she was getting.
She was a bit nervous and skeptical too, as she saw people recording and scribbling each and every word she said.
SIYAPPAY MERA TOH....MEIN TOH KUCH BHI BOL DETI HOON, YE TOH ITN SERIOUSLY LE RAHE HEIN
She tried to be as cautious with her words as she could be.
Her parents seemed proud in the little encounter she had with them. "Jindi reh puttar! Haar jeet khel ka hissa hai par tu bhot vadiya kheli" her father had said and her mother had cried as she hugged her.

"Ye dekho Shehnaaz aa gayi!" Shehbaaz's voice boomed as he entered the vanity with his camera facing towards her. She realized he was live and though she absolutely loved interacting with fans online, she was a tad bit disappointed as she had hoped for a few minutes of silence and rest.
"Sidharth ko bhi dikha ke laya hoon mein apne live mein?" Her stomach churned, "Kya?" "Sidharth nu vi live Liya tha" Shehbaaz said.
"Kahan hai Sidharth?" Her stomach was doing summersaults. She didn't quite understand why, she wasn't exactly nervous or excited to see him and yet, there was this lingering feeling that she couldn't exactly put a finger on. She hadn't seen him since the finale shoot almost 3 hours back and this was the longest time she had gone without seeing him in so many months, the last time being Secret room when he had gone for a week.
She really wanted to see, talk to him. Maybe just a small hug to calm her frenzy self down, just a small assurance.
CHAL CHAL SANA KOI NA, she huffed as she turned her attention towards the live.

Shehbaaz was on and on in the live but she couldn't pay attention as she got her mobile. It had been so long! She couldn't believe, her social media was exploding. There was messages from family, friends and fans. Thousand of tags and dm requests, she felt overwhelmed. And then she found herself searching him on Instagram. It was almost like her fingers had a mind of their own as she typed away his name and quickly went through his account, he didn't have many posts. Most were by his team during big boss. She accidentally clicked on a video and she found herself holding back tears as it played. "Life mein na kabhi, khud ko harm mat karna..." he was telling her. That's when she felt this strong pang, she knew she NEEDED too see him.
"Yaar vo Sidharth kahan hai?" she asked a few people and she was informed that he was back in his vanity now after being done with his interviews.
She decided to go meet him, even for a few moments of he was busy. She could just go and give him a small hug, congratulate him again. Oh hell, she would exchange numbers.
Her heart quickened as she walked towards his vanity, she giggled, feeling like a teenager again.

"You'll have to do it Sidharth! tu dekh tu ghar chal!" His sister was waving her finger in front of his face as she laughed. "Mom kuch bolo man!" He tried hiding his huge form behind his mom. "You fool, you're too big to hind behind mummy!" his sister slapped his arm.
"She's right Sidharth! ab mein taang pe taang rakh le bethoon gi ghar pe, tu banaye ga rotiyan"
"You guys have ganged up against me! Baap rey!" He laughed, his head thrown back as he went forward to hug both his sister and mother in both arms.
They looked happy, such a closely knitted family. Their time seemed too private and precious to be disturbed, so she decided to go back to her vanity. She could meet him at the after party. Of course he would be there, wouldn't he?

"Tu hotel chaley jaa mummy papa ke Saath, mein ye party ke baad aa jaon gi" She told Shehbaaz.
"Tu kese aye gi phir?"
"driver and car hai mere Liye pre arranged. Ek assistant thi vanity mein, uss ne mujhe bataya" she raised her imaginary collars.
"HAYE Shehnaaz tu toh star ban gayi bc" Shehbaaz couldn't help but take her into a hug as they laughed and gushed over this crazy reality. They had dreamed of this day; She had worked her ass off and he had stood beside her throughout - seen her fall and rise again. This was her success, but felt like his very own.
"Mummy Papa Abhi kidhar hai?" she asked after they had recovered from their laughing fit. "Oye mummy teh roye jaa ri si! Gaari mein bitha ke aya hoon abhi"
"yaar Shehbaaz unko chup kara. Abhi vanity mein bhi ro rhi thin. hume almost Adha ghanta baatein ki, vo her thori der pe ro rhi hein"
"oye teko ni pata tere peeche kitna royi hein! tu jab roti hai vo toh toofaan le ati hein. tu tension na le"
"papa?"
"Live hei" Shehbaaz laughed nervously. She couldn't help but sigh.

"Sidharth kahan hai?" she asked Shefali bagga after she'd met everyone.
"Vo I think, nikal gaya shayad. I don't know"
"Nikal gaya matlab?"
"uss ko shayad jadli thi, family saath thi na uss ki so he didn't stay long, so nikal gaya sab se mil ke"
"Mujh se toh mila bhi Nhi. mein kahan thi" Shehnaaz Thought aloud.
"Tu bahar thi na, chall ab dimagh nhi kharaab karnaw. Chill ker, Second Runner up!" Shefali hugged her, trying to lift her mood.
But she felt miserable. How could he leave without meeting her? Was he done and over? Oh God. She felt her inside churn as she panicked.
After meeting everyone, she hurriedly called her driver and decided to go to her hotel and take rest.
She did meet Salman Sir before going, and was too emotional to bid him farewell. She would terribly miss talking to him, laughing and even getting scolded on weekends.
"You will go very far Shehnaaz, I've told you this before, just stay out of trouble. Best Of luck for your future!" He had told her and she had cried hugging him, thanking him for everything.
