What The Future Holds

Chapter 13: Logics can take a break

(A few hours after the interview)

Shehnaz was back home. She had changed and got herself ready to sleep. She wore a pajama that her fans had sent her a few days ago. She opened her phone and saw kens message.

'Well done darling. You slayed the interview'

She looked for a message from siddharth. Nothing. He has been avoiding her now , ever since the party.

" Did i say something wrong? Aaghhmm,
Leave it."

She was too tired to think about it today.It was a long day and shefali's questions had made her go through so much of emotions.
She threw her phone to the bed and laid down. Finally. She can sleep as much as she wants.

Suddenly she heard a car approach. She looked at the clock - 9.30.
Who is coming at such a late time.
She lazily got up and peeped through the window. Her security guard opened the gate.

That car...sidharth? It can't be. Why would he come right now?

She peeped through a second window to take a better look.
A man walked out of the car.
That walk, that slight tilt of the head, she knew it all too well.
She quickly opened the door.

Siddharth looked at her .She was in a pink flower printed pajama. Her long hair was tied up into a bun. Her eyes were tired but seemed very curious. It was cold outside and she was rubbing her arms.

"Siddharth? What happened? Is everything alright?"

Oh how can she be so cute.

"Paagal aurath",

he said and hugged her tightly. He was laughing now. She didn't understand. She slowly lifted her arms and hugged him back. She was too sleepy, and wasn't really conscious about what's going on, but his hug was so warm she didnt feel cold anymore.He swayed her and then got inside her house, still not letting go of their hug. He was still laughing, like a mad man. This woke her up.

"Amma, sidharth you're scaring me"

"Hahahahahahaha ooohahaha oohahaha"

"Seriously sidharth ,coming into my house, this late at night ,and laughing..is this one of you're ghost pranks because it's working. I'm getting scared."

"Aahahaaahahaaa"

He really was happy. Everytime she is around he is happy. I deserve to be happy. I deserve her and she deserves me. He told himself.

"Ammmaaa, siddharth stop it "

She tried to get away from his hug but his grip was too strong.
And then he calmed her down .

"It's nothing baby I'm just happy"

"About what?"

"I just am.
You did a wonderful job at the interview today"

"You saw it?"

His reply was a kiss on her cheeks.

Now that was weird. Kissing on the forehead was his thing. Cheeks only happened in rare events like b'days . But it's not her bday yet. She looked at the calendar.There's 2 more weeks for it.

He caught her confusion, held her face in his hands, kissed her again again all over her face.
She blushed.
He stopped ,he knew she'd be blushing like an apple now. He slowly removed her bun. He always wanted to know how her hair would look if it wasn't tied. They fell on her shoulders and reached upto her waist. He caressed it and tucked them behind her ears. Then he slowly pushed her back to the nearest wall and trapped her between his arms. She giggled a little. And softly asked,

"what are you doing?"

"what do you think?"

"Are you drunk?"

"No"

"This is not something you'd do when you're in your clear senses"

"I dont think I've been more clear about anything than this"

"What does that mean ?"

"It means-"

He bent down and kept his face close to her, just inches apart,

"It means I LOVE YOU shehnaz"
"Always have. And always will"

Her eyes opened wide in surprise. She needed time for those words to sink in. He knew. He waited. Watched all of her expressions in awe.
The surprise, the shock, the disbelief, joy, excitement, everything she was going through, all of her emotions, siddharth saw it all in her eyes.

"Baby,calm down"

Suddenly she got angry. She hit him with her small fists and tried to push him back. But he didn't move. She pulled his hair and pinched his arms.

Logics :AHEM AHEM. do you remember,i was trying to say something while you were off to go see her, i was just trying to tell you to prepare for this ! Anyway you should be glad you're not in the kitchen.
Heart : oh shut up she is freaking cute.

She was obviously angry. Who wouldn't be.

"I hate you siddharth i hate you"
She shouted and cried.
"You made me go through so much. Youre such a cruel cruel man"

" Hey, what makes you think i wasnt going through anything? It was hard for me as well"

Heart : aahh . You have no idea how much pain this guy made me feel. It was terrible. 
Logics : chill dude. Now that these two are going to date, he will be listening to you more. I guess i can take some rest. As long as she is around i won't be of much use.
Heart : Date? I think they should stop wasting time and just get married already !
