Unadulterated Love

Part 34

SHEHNAAZ'S POV

"Thank you Pranav.. You've been really supportive.." I hugged him.

"Aah! Not there.." he cried. Holding the side of his back.

"Sorry sorry.. Tujhe lagi..?" I asked.

"Lagi..? I have surely got my ribs broken.." he said. But soon composed himself.

"But that's not it.. I've kicked many asses too.. Tujhe dekhna chahiye tha.." he patts his own shoulder.

"Acha..?" I'm amazed.

"Haa.. ask Sid na! He was calling me constantly.. Pranav help..! Save me!" he mimicks. I smirk seeing Sidharth standing right behind him, listening him. Haha! He's so gone!

"And you saved me..?" Sidharth asked. Looks like Pranav's throat dried.

"Nah..(nervous laughter) I was.. just saying.. Acha I must leave now.. Dad n Mom must be waiting.. Bye take care!" he immediately found his way out. Leaving us laughing into fits.

•Businessmen Sidharth Shukla and Dhananjay Jaykar's rivalry was at peak today. Men had a lethal fight.

•DJ arrested in charges of attempt to murder. Under a non-bailable warrant.

• Shukla's temper issues has always heated up the situation. My brother is being framed, says DJ's brother Rahul.

•According to our sources, there was a girl too. Who was she? Were these men fighting after that girl?

•On the other hand Sidharth's friends and family refused to give any answers. A few weeks back Shukla family was also spotted outside a hospital. Are they hiding anything?

•Amazing fans of SS manage to trend 'We Are With U Sid' on twitter.

"What rubbish..? Switch it off..!" Preeti asked Ajay. These were the news headlines, by the time we were home. Well, that's the craze he has got. That we had to exit the hospital through the backside.

"Bhagwaan ka shukar hai.. Mere bache sahi salamat hai.." Rita aunty had gasped out of fear. When she heard the entire episode. By God's grace we're all fine. But after going a hell lot of things.

She hugs me. Kissed my head. "I'm so sorry beta.. You had to go through all this.. Never thought somebody would actually cause this much of harm.. Out of enmity.." she says.

"Why are you being sorry for that.. I'm fine.. He saved me..!" I shrug. To stop aunty and myself from crying I brought Sidharth forward. He hugged her till she calmed down.

"Thak gaye hoge na tumlog... Jao fresh ho jao.. Mai khana bhijwa dungi..." she said.

"Tu pehle nahale.." he passed me my robe. Standing under the shower, letting the warm water wash my bare skin. Lathered some soap around.

"Ow.." felt a sharp burning sensation in the knee. Had almost forgot, I got it scratched when I fell down while running aimlessly. Also my elbows got scraped. Then there was already a stitch on my head. I look like a loser high school kid, whose seniors had beaten him blue-black in the playground.

I'm so exhausted and not beautiful anymore. Earlier got my limbs fractured and now these scratches. Staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. A quite thin and wounded body is all I see. Who would like that? Forget Sidharth, I don't like seeing myself either. Taking some more bodywash, I spread it all over the mirror, well that won't shut the people's eyes. You stupid! I can apply foundation on it. Yes, that will do!

"Shehnaaaazz..! Mujhe bhi nahana haii..!" he knocked.

"Ha.. Nikal rahi.." wrapped myself inside the robe, walking straight into the closet. Yaha toh moisturizer hai bas.. Foundation aur concealer kaha hai?? Shuffled everything in my kit. Found a half empty bottle finally. Had just started to apply it on the forhead.
