Yet Another Strange Marriage ✅

Chapter 13

Sidharth: (sighed heavily) Shehnaaz, I have to go home tomorrow morning. I have to start at 6am. Please go to Rudhra Bhaiyya's home tomorrow itself.

Shehnaaz: Huh? No, I won't! This has happened because of me. I am answerable. I can't leave you in this situation.

Sidharth cupped her face with his huge hands.

Sidharth: You are not responsible. They were loafers and deserved it. If I get a chance, I want to smack their faces again. But for now try to understand. It's not safe for you to stay here. I fear that the public might harm you in any way. Your brother will protect you from all evils.

Shehnaaz: I know I am safe with you as well.

She held his face and kissed his lips.

Shehnaaz: I will leave once you and your family is free from this false accusation. If I go now then you won't be able to prove your innocence.

She turned around to go and he held her hand.

Sidharth: Hello, Salam, Namastey, Jai Ram Ji Ki. Welcome to your favourite show M3L a.k.a. Masti Masti Mein Lele show. With me your favourite RJ, RJ Arthur only on 96.4 Hot Chilli FM..

Shehnaaz gasped and she turned around and looked at him with a question..

Shehnaaz: (pointing finger at him) Arthur?

Sidharth: (nodded) Shehnaaz, I love you. Please don't go away from me! (He hugged her with teary eyes) I loved you even before I knew your identity and your face. I didn't know the girl I loved, Sana was my wife, Shehnaaz.

Shehnaaz: (also had tears) And I rejected Arthur's proposal not knowing that Arthur is Sidharth, my husband who I loved so much.

They hugged each other for what seemed infinity. Their mind was in chaos but their hearts were filled with solace.

Shehnaaz: Why didn't you tell me before?

Sidharth: I found out today itself when Janvi came.

Shehnaaz: But still you waited for so long?

Sidharth: I was scared, because you rejected Arthur's proposal.

Shehnaaz: Arthur!! Why this name?

Sidharth: Because I hid my passion from my family since I knew they will be never supportive. Babuji wanted me to join politics but I didn't. So he referred me for a government job. I quietly took it because beggars are not choosers.

Today whatever is happening it's solely because of his political image. If I were from a normal family, there wouldn't have been such a big issue. They twisted, manipulated and falsely accused me just to spoil Babuji's image.

There is your bhaiyya who didn't care about his image to protect you and there is my family who wants to protect their reputation at any cost. Your bhaiyya who sacrificed his studies to build you future and my family who want to sacrifice my future to build their image.

Shehnaaz: Calm down dear. Don't overthink. We will work our way out. Now grab some sleep since you need to start early.

They both slept in each other's arm.

Shehnaaz shook Sidharth to wake him up. It was 5:30am. He got up and went out. Rudhra was already sitting in the hall.

Sidharth: When did you come?

Rudhra: I came at 4am. Took bath and Sana finished the Bhai dooj rituals as well. Sana called me up at 3:30am and told me everything. I was just waiting to see y'all off.

Sidharth: Y'all? Aren't you taking Shehnaaz with you? She can't stay here alone!

Rudhra: She is going with you and that's her decision. Since it's her family, I don't have rights to say anything about it as well. Jijaji, if you need me, just call me.
