It's Just You And Me

Chapter 15

She made her way inside the room placed the plate on the side table and sat down beside his sleeping figure on the bed. "Sidhaaarrrthhhh please...... Sorry..... baat kar na mere sath" she whined shaking him but he didn't even open his eyes. "Bebu mujhe pata tha vo door tere muh par band karne wali chiz se tu hurt hai par sachi mere se gusse mei ho gaya na vo jaan kar ny kiya tha na maine" she crooned justifying her action but when he didn't budge she continued whining "Yaar mai kya karu mujhe bura lag raha tha na ke mere chalte tu apni friend se baat ny kar raha isliye tujhe samjhaya par tujhe toh sunna bhi ny tha toh mai gussa ho gai par bas isliye taki tu mere chakkar mei apni dosti na kharab kar le". This unseen side of her was very new to him where she would just come and coax him with so much determination, at the back of his mind he was so enjoying the attention he was getting from her that he thought to stretch a little bit more. He turned around to the other side that's when she started losing hopes her eyes getting damp "Sidhaaarth mai toh bas chahti thi tu mere chalte na lade apni friend se kyuki mera kya he hai chalta hai sab but vo toh dost hai na teri" Shehnaaz's choice of words to explain him was so wrong, it broke him again that she thought so low about herself. She had become the most important person in his life after his mom and sister but according to her point of view she was a nobody to him, why did she even thought that about her. He sat up with a jerk after listening to this line and retorted "Shehnaaz maine pehle bhi bola tha abhi bhi bolu ga loud and clear that you're very important to me and for a matter of fact you are as important as my mother, hope this will give you the clear view of the importance of yours in my life!". She was speechless after listening to this, she had never thought she would become this important to someone ever. Speechless, she could only stare at him open-mouthed. "Shehnaaaaz?" he breathed snapping her out of her thoughts. "Acha ab sorry please mera vo matlab ny tha please tu gussa mat ho mere sath please" her eyes started shedding tears with this overwhelming feeling, as she helplessly looked him requesting him to talk to her. That's all it took to forget everything and melt down, immediately pulled her into a hug and briefly kissed her head, she hugged him back encircling her tiny arms around him snuggling into his chest. Neither of them wanted to break the hug, they stayed just like that until her stomach growled, her face flushed with embarrassment as he cracked up laughing cupping her face in his hands "You didn't had your dinner sweetheart?" he questioned when she nodded negatively. "Aawww Mera baby chal let's have it together maine bhi ny kiya" he crushed her face in his palms and her lips formed a cute pout that he desired to kiss but he could only fantasies about it as for now he has no idea about her feelings neither he has confessed his side to her. "Haan ruk vo dekh mai le kar he aayi thi hum dono ka sath mei neche unhone bola ke tuni bhi dinner ny kara tha" she said. "Chal thik hai tu le kar aayi hai na ab khila mujhe" he demanded coming back to his old childish self handling the plate to her. She giggled and started feeding him. They both had their dinner together and then went to deep slumber in their respective rooms.
Where Sidharth had realised his growing feelings for her, Shehnaaz was still unaware and unsure about her feelings. Only time could tell when and what was going to happen.
Next morning indeed was a happy one for Shehnaaz, her eyes were opened with the sound of her phone ringing and the name flashing on the screen was 'Tauji', wasting no time she received the call sitting straight up on the bed. "Hello? satsriakal Tauji, Happy Holi!!" she gushed , her voice made Coco wake up with a jerk from his sleep. "Satsriakal puttar kiven ho?" the deep, musculin voice asked from the other side. "Wadiya, Taiji aur Simmi kaise hai? Hayeeee haan apne bola tha apko batane ko  mai bhul he gai, Dadi ka ho gaya jo bhi surgery honi thi bas Waheguru ji unko thik kar de unke recovery jaldi ho jaye kuch galat na ho" she spoke volubly. "Kuch galat nai hoga puttar waheguru ji meher kare ge, acha sunn maine phone kiya tha tujhe kuch zaruri baat karne ko" his voice turning serious which made her nervous as to what new drama was going to happen now in her life, was there anything still left for her to face anymore. "Hanji" she mumbled softly as he continued "Maine kal Indeerveer se baat kari hai" Indeerveer is non other than her Chacha ji whom she hates and fears the most "Usne tere baap ke saari property to le rakhi hai par maine usko kal ache se samjhaya hai apni style mei aur usse vo tere ghar jaha tum saare rehte thi usse wapes lene ka baat kar liya hai" she gasped listing to this, that house where she had spent some of her best moment  with her parents was been snatched by her evil Chacha and his wife but now she could again live there and have this house as her parents last memory to herself, as the years passed by she had lost all her hopes to get that property but then by god's grace she is again getting it back. "Beta teri padhai ka sochte hue tujhe Punjab ny laye warna mai tujhe mere uss pagal bhai ke pass kabhi rehne ny deta, uss waqt kuch ny kar paye par aaj yeh karke kamse kam ab tujhe khush dekh sakta huna" his voice full of guilt made her feel bad, it was not his mistake she understands that very well. In fact he used to take her to Punjab during her vacations and tried to fullfil her wishes that she never used to demand. Being a kid they expected her to play, demand for things and behave like a stubborn one but instead she used be very quiet and dull all the time. These things used to break their hearts and they used to feel very helpless every single time trying to get their old Sana back but used to failed. "Tauji apke koi galti nahi hai please ap aisa mat socho aur haan thank u so much apko toh pata he hai mere liye kya maine rakhta hai vo ghar" her voice chocked in the end as a drop of tear made it's way out of her eyes. "Thank you kyu bol rahi hai pagal tu meri bachi hai aur bache apne baap ko thank you ny bolte samjhi" Shehnaaz smiled in tears listing to him. "Chal abhi dhyan rakh apna thik hai, hum jald he aaye ge, bebe se milne aur tujhe tera ghar ke chabi wapes dilani" he concluded before ending the call. She hugged herself in happiness giggling, no song required she started dancing. Coco too got excited seeing her and started barking and wagging his tail. "Cocoooo" she had launched into happy screech. She probably was loud enough to be heard by Sidharth in the next room who fell down from his bed as her voice got inside his ears. "Ohh fuck.... ahh" he held his arm and groaned in pain then realised it was Shehnaaz and mistook her happy shriek as her scream. Immediately rushed to her room and habitually barged into her room without knocking to find her stupidly dancing around with Coco in her arms. The moment she turned around and saw him she paused and was standing rooted at her place seeing him, then a huge grin formed on her face. "Happy Holi Bebu!!" putting Coco down she cooed locking her arms around his chest. Zoe's company is not good for her she is turning Sana into herself day by day he thought sighing and hugged her back. "Acha tu bahar nikal ab jaldi mujhe ready hone de ek bar dadi ko dekh kar aao, doctor se bhi mil lungi pata ny unki tabyet kaise hogi" her smile which was so blissfull for him to see converted in a sad heart breaking frown as she stood there with her head down and damp eyes, her mood changed in flash. "Ayee Pagal kuch ny hoga dadi ko, she'll have to recover for you samjhi gadhi toh apne demag ke ander se yeh faltu baat nikal de and get ready I'll accompany you to the Hospital" he hits her forehead softly before going out of the bedroom while she quickly got changed praying to Waheguru to fullfil her one last wish for the recovery of her grandmother.
