After waking up two times in the night due to heavy flow, she finally came back and settled on bed feeling immensely drained out. Feeling the hustling beside him, he raised his sleepy head from the pillow to ask what happened but before that she patted his head softly pushing him back to his dreamland. The little ice cream incident was revolving all around her head. A constant smile was plastered on her lips. She gripped his hand with hers and pressed her lips on it sucking in a little of his skin to give a wet kiss.
She was lost in her thoughts when he brought her morning tea sweeter as usual. A constant smile playing on her lips was making him doubt her intentions. Something was definitely cooking up.
"itnna gehra kya soch soch ke muskura rhi ho" he asked suspiciously making her settle between his legs and let her back rest on his chest. The view from the balcony was immersed in sun mixed with clouds.
"yehi ke tu kitna cute hai aur mera kitnaa khyaal rkhta hai" she replied still lost and smiling.
That cleared his doubt. She was lost in his thoughts.
The next two days were full of pampering sessions and love cuddles. He even contacted the doctor regarding heavy flows and continuous tiredness she was facing. Mom made sure she ate healthy. It was a happy place at home as well as life. They still had time before work continues. Their misunderstandings were cleared and they were letting their love to clear all the doubts they had in those 2 months of separation. They let out the pent up hurt and remorse of being away from each other for such a long time for first time in their relationship.
"mai neeche jaa rhi hu walk krne.. fresh air khane andr band band sa lag rha hai" she leaned onto his sitting figure on the couch of the living room. He lowered the volume of the news in the background and held her leaning body by snaking his arm around her waist.
"hmm.. come soon" he said smacking a loud kiss on her lips.
She came back after an hour and saw him lying on their bed. She came beside him and sat on his stomach.
"sunn" she said with a sad smile.
"kyaa huaa" he noticed her sadness.
"ghar se phone aa gya tha walk krte krte .. kehte abhi tabiyat thik hai aur kaam b nhi hai to kuch din k liye ghar aaja"
His smile disappeared. He thought to spend this alone time with her. Just the two of them. How could he let her go! His thoughts got frustrated.
"shehnaaz abhi abhi thik hui hai .. dobara weakness aa gai to .. nahi nahi rehne do .. kahi nhi jana .. mai baat kr leta hu tere ghar pe" he tried to make excuses.
"I know sidhaarth.. mera b mann nahi hai bilkul jane ka .. mera plan to kuch aur hi tha .. ye free time tere sath bitane ka .. mene socha tha bs hum dono honge aur sath me kuch time ache se rahenge.. but ghar vale b bar bar bol rhe the aaj ... kehte ek saal ho gya .. fir dobara kaam shuru ho jayega fir busy ho jayegi.. kab aa payegi pta nahi .. to kehte abhi 3 4 din aaja .. dada dadi se b baat hui vo b bol rhe the .. fir mujse raha nhi gya to maine haan bol dia" she said with sadness lacing her tone.
He held her hands that were on his chest tightly, trying to understand her situation.
"baby, mai pakka 3 4 din mei vapis aa jaugi .. fir shoot shuru hone ke 4 5 din pehle hum sath mei rahenge.. thik hai ?" she tried to handle to situation.
He groaned a hmm. She added "achha esa kr na tu bhi chal mere sath .. 2 3 din mei vapis aa jayenge"
"nahi na .. mai b jauga to tu araam se mil nhi payegi aur vo log b thik keh rhe hai fir se kaam shuru ho gya to pta nhi kabhi jaa payegi .. to koi na tu jaa araam se bus 3 din mei vapis aa jana.. yaha se return ticket krke hi jayegi smjhii" he hesitantly denied the offer.
"shehbaaz ne khud hi ticket book kri hai .. kehta mai kr duga sab tu bs aa ja .." she told about the flight her brother booked the next day.
"tu return ticket book krwa k hi jaa .. smjhi na ... vaha jaake tera mann lag jayega aur bolegi kuch aur din ruk jaati hu .. I don't trust you .. bs return ka kre bina nahi niklegi yaha se" he retorted.
"mai pakka 3 din mei aa jaugi .. bola na mene .. abhi zyada return return bolugi to papa b sochenge kesi aag lagi hai isse vapis jaane ki .. tuje pta to hai fir kese sochte hai .. Bombay k nahi hai na! evai taana maar denge abhi aai hai nhi aur jaana pehle hai isee .. tu tension na le .. mai pakka 3 4 din me aa jaugi" she kissed his lips trying to calm his nerves.
"fine .. kab jana hai kal?" he asked with grimaced expressions.
"kal raat do bje ki flight hai .. 12 bje ghar se nikal jaugi.. lekin use pehele muje apne flat jana hai .. kuch kuch samaan lena hai.. fir packing bhi" she said.
"abhi packing ka kya hai shehnaaz .. bda sa bag mat bna lena.. backpack krle na tyar bs 3 din bola na tune" he said like an irritated baby.
"hann zyada nahi hai but kuch kapde ese he pde hai mere pas vaha ghar pe chhod k aane hai .. tu sham ko le chlio muje flat pe .. abhi muh mat sadaa.. achha chal sun meri baat abhi mai yaha pe packing krugi na ... tera vala bag le jaugi .. okay .. jab tk mai yaha se samaan leti hu tu mere liye shopping krke aa .. isi bahane mera bag pack hota nhi dekhega aur kam muh fulayega.. okay baby?" she cupped his face and cooed in a babylike voice.
"kyaa chahiye aapko madam.. boliye" he gripped her hips and raised himself off the bed a bit to lean on the backrest pillow.
"mujhe kuch nahi chahiye .. lekin aap kuch esa esa leke aao jisse dekh dekh k mujse milne ki excitement apki har moment pe badh ti jaaye.. smjhee nonu baby?"
"jese ki kya?"
"ummmm... koi dress le aa .. jisme tu muje dekhna chahta hai .. ya sexy si lingerie le aa .. vo rum vaali chocolates le aa.. ya fir kitnee sare flavours k vo le aaa" she crouched down on him hiding in his neck , shying away while whispering these sweet nothings to him.
"vo kya shehnaaz" he teased.
"aahhaa.. shut up.."
"but isse kya hoga mai smjha nahi.." he asked being confused."
"abbeeyy.. ye sab cupboard me rkh dena .. aur inko dekhte rehna bar bar .. bar bar mere sath ye sb cheezein soch soch k teri mujse milne ki excitement badh ti rhegi na." "tera mann bhi lga rhega" she let out her childish yet naughty thoughts.
He let out a loud giggle but complied to her thoughts.
He went out to buy his fantasies and she pulled out his big bag and started stuffing it up with all the necessaties. Almost done , she zipped it up and went to mom to share this news and much more.
Maa was more than thrilled with her out of station planning as it will be a mind refreshment. Shehnaaz even asked maa to come along but she denied saying her to have fun and promised the next time to have a good vacation all together.
Sidharth came back with a shopping bag with all their excitements stuffed in it and kept it inside the cupboard. He saw the big bag lying near the cupboard and his face saddened. He knew once gone she will not come back within 3 days. The stuffed up bag said it all.
He heard the shower running and saw the door not locked. He went inside and let that extra water his bladder carried all out. She heard some noises from the steamy shower and saw him like that for the first time ever. This was a new milestone of their relation. The new level of intimacy towards each other which she acknowledged not very nicely.
"eewwww .. sidhaarth kyaa kr rha hai .. mai nahaa rhi hu na.. wait nhi kr skta tha .." she said from the other side of the glass sheet separating her shower from him.
He did not pull up his pants, instead he dragged those out of his legs and removed his tee and went inside the glass cabin located at the corner of the bathroom beside the bath tub. Standing at the back of her, he cleaned his hands by rubbing his fingers on her wet back. The same way he used to dry his hands with her dupatta but only this time it was her skin instead of dupatta.
She cringed more. And tried to take gripped baby steps on the wet floor away from him.
"cchhee .. kitna ganda hota jaa rha hai tu din par din.. ahaaaaa... saaf kr use ab soap se.." she shrieked.
He pulled her strongly gripping her bare stomach and her back bumped into his chest.
"mai kese rahuga itne din tere bina baby" he literally became a baby and said with the softest baby voice as if 5 year old asking his mom to not leave him.
"jese pichhle 2 mahine raha tha .. reh lega tu .." she taunted him back.
He rolled his eyes and touched his mouth to her shoulders embracing her perfectly in to his arms, running his soapy fingers on her front.
"tu pakka 3 din mei aa jayegi na.. tera itnaa bda bag dekh k lag nahi raha.. itna kya bhar lia usme .. mera sch me bura haal ho jata hai .. mai bol nahi pata but no one knows me better than you .." he whined like a little boy a bit more.
She turned around still in his arms and put her both hands in his hair, massaging with shampoo.
"mai aa jaugi .. main bhi to tere bina nahi reh paati na .. dukhi mat ho.. mai bhi tujhe dukhi nahi krugi .. bs baat krna kabhi mat chhodna .. tuje pta hai na jab baat bnd krdete hai tabhi sare siyaape shuru hote hai" she calmed his big baby soaping his body.
"hmmm...vaise humne conceive kab kia tha shehnaaz.. is bare me humne baat hi nahi ki kabhi .. kese hua ye.. kabhi socha" he suddenly asked out of the blue how it all happened.
"us din yaad hai jab mai late aai thi shoot se .. movie dekhi thi raat ko .. beer b pee rkhi thi .. shayad tbhi hua hoga kyuki uske agle din vo dinner pe gye aur ldaai ho gai .. uske baad to kia hi nahi.. us din muje yaad nahi aa rha tha humne protection use kia tha ya nahi.. itne call kiye the mene tujhe" she suddenly got a sullen expression remembering that day.
He gripped her body tighter and closer, letting his lips carress her forehead. She hugged him tightly and let the pain flow through her eyes. He closed his eyes and hugged back tighter. They were standing there, hugging each other close and letting the hot water flow on their shiny skins. The little moments of love to cherish forever.
"vese mujhe yaad aaya .. us din halke nashe me the aur kuch use nahi kra tha .. bs ese he go with the flow wali baat thi .." he tried to lighten the mood. She pulled apart from his skin still in his arms and a pout got formed on her sad face listening to his sudden non seriousness making her look so adorable and edible. He pecked her pout, once , twice, thrice and kept on pecking after every second as if to eat her up. She smiled heartily in between his pecks and pressed her face on his chest trying to bury herself there.
"iam gonna miss you!" he said like a love sick puppy.
"and iam gonna make it up to you for every moment you miss me.. promise" she replied.
They came out of the shower and wrapped their bodies with towels. She wrapped it around her body holding it near her chest and his wrapped around his waist show casing his taut abs. He went in front of the mirror looking at his face. His pimples were more than he counted yesterday. As he started his crèmes and lotions on his perfect body , she settled on the counter in front of the mirror beside the basin and kept gawking at her man, sitting right next to him. Her towel was still wrapped around her naked body as she stared at his body shamelessly, her head cocked to one side with her wet hair falling on her side of the shoulder.
"kabhi kabhi yakeen nahi hota bilkul bhi" she said wondering this all could be a dream and she would wake up one day to find herself back in her flat at Mohali. This all could be just a dream. This kind of pure love can never exist in this tainted world. May be.. just maybe..
She felt his touch on her cheeks pulling her out of her thoughts. He settled between her thighs which spread more to take in his body. His rough pad of thumb against her cheek made her realise her eyes always stayed below his chest and he kind of caught her staring at him. Her cheeks turned pink and finally she looked at him, in his eyes.
Sidharth leaned his head and his lips touched hers.
"shehnaaz" her name was like whispering of hope on his lips. She wrapped his legs around his hips and he gathered her in his arms.
"this is all real baby.. not a dream .. everything .. you , me , us , our love, its all real.. I promise you" he spoke near her lips.
Her eyes teared up but her lips smiled.
"ab tu mera mann bhi padhne lag gya hai .." she spoke in an awe of her man.
"I own you sweetheart.. in every possible way ... you are mine.. I can tell ke tere dimag mei kab kya chal rha hota hai" and there goes her little heart to this beautiful confession by her man.
He cupped her face , leaned on her and his mouth crashed down on hers, drinking in the meaning of his life. She swallowed her words, being drunk on his lips. She gasped into his mouth and melted in his arms. Their lips moved in a sync creating a whole fucking melody. They were stealing each others breaths. (this bit is inspired by a story i read on insta .. humsafar stories i think)
"I always thought iam gonna be the most difficult to live with, you know I can be over bearing .. I always thought iam gonna fuck up everytime" he said pulling out of the most fierce kiss they ever had.
"I think I can handle you quite well" she relpied with a powerful smirk.
"yeaah .. you do baby.. you never give up on me ..the power you hold upon me is way too much.. and iam very proud to say that"
"ummmm... I WILL NEVER GIVE UP .. NOT ON YOU.. NEVER ON US!" She said emphasising each and every word in his own style, pinching his chin between her index finger and thumb.
He picked her up in his arms and came out to the room. He dressed up his personal doll and dried up her hair. She chanted all the irrelevant talks filling his mind with amazement and laughters and the room witnessed their another faltu talking session.
They both came back late at night from her apartment collecting her things. Maa had already retired to bed. They both had dinner and went to sleep in each others arms. It was a peaceful and happy sleep they both woke up to. He saw his reddest apple shining golden as the sun rays kissed her cheeks.
The day went in some more packing while he sat with mom. They chit chatted and had their lunch together. Even his sister joined them for lunch. Maa and shehnaaz talked their hearts out as if they will now meet after a long time. Evening tea was all happy laughters.
After dinner , she came to the room to see if she has taken all the necessary things. The phone chargers, her wallet, the tickets print outs all set up in her littlest ever pretty silver backpack.
She looked everywhere once again in the room to confirm she has not left anything important before pulling her suitcase out of the room. As soon as she heard him calling her out to avoid being late, she hastily opened the cupboard and stuffed his shopping bag into her suitcase and zipped it down before he barged in.
"all done" she said in a sudden expression as if a theif was caught red handed. He pulled the suitcase and went out.
She was so confused about how to execute her plan. She had all the things ready, everything was set but still she didn't know when and how to tell him. Time was running and she was getting more scared rather than excited. She reached the living room where everyone was present to bid them goodbye and a happy journey. The driver took the bags to the car downstairs.
"yrr driver ko bina matlab bula lia aise raat me .. I could have dropped you all by myself" sidharth said.
But no one listened to him as all were busy with each other. Maa was telling shehnaaz to take care and all that stuff and she was in return saying the same things to maa to take proper care and to his sister too. They were all so into the talks that it irked sidharth too much. "kitna baat karti hai ye.. women!" he thought.
"lets go" he tried to break their talking spell.
Shehnaaz ran back to the room as she forgot the scarf she decided to carry in her hand. Meanwhile maa called sidharth.
"beta take care .. uska bhi khyaal rkhna .. and have lots of fun.. utilize this time the most to clear all the things and be real to each other" she said softly caressing her son's cheek.
He gave the most confused expression. He looked up to the main door where shehnaaz was standing holding her scarf in her hands folded to her chest and leaning slightly at the door. She winked at him suddenly bringing him back to the earth from his confusing thoiughts.
"tujhe kya lga mai tere bina jaaugi.. hum dono jaa rhe hai" she said with a smile plastered in her face and took her hands out for him to hold and come along.
"achhaa chlo abhi jaldi nhi to late ho jaoge bacho.. sidharth zyada dimag mat lga .. shehnaaz ise raaste me smjha dena" maa said.
They drove off to the airport and sidharth still couldn't believe what happened. Is he really going? Is this happening? Oh no. what about maa? And iam going to Punjab? Like seriously? All his thoughts crowded him and before he could say anything, he heard her voice.
"yaar .. muje na actually samajh me nhi aa rha tha tujhe kese btaau .. sab plan kr chuki thi.. baki sab ready tha bs tujhe kab btana kese batna mene socha hi nhi excitement k chakkar mei aur abhi itni jaldi sara time nikl gya k ghar se niklne se pehele dar gai thi k itna late ho gya ab kese btaau .. but tu chinta mat kar kisi bhi cheez ki .. maa didi k paas jaa rhi hai kuch dino k liye .. sab baat ho gai thi meri unse aur sab settled hai vaha .. infact mai to chahti thi maa, di aur sari family bhi hmare sath chle, ek achha vacation ho jata but unhone mera plan sun k mna kr dia kehte hum sab ikathe fir kabhi chlenge abhi hum dono jaate hai" she said biting her nails. She was so unsure of his reaction to this sudden outing.
He pulled her fingers from her mouth forcefully and took her in his arms.
"its all good." He said with a genuine smile. " actually mai abhi tere sath hi rehna chahta tha .. mera sach me mann nhi tha abhi tere se door rehne ka.. itna kuch hua in dino me I just want us to be together" he confessed.
The traffic was like heavy Bombay rains that day. Too much. She suddenly asked the driver to stop the car as she saw a clothing store across the road. Sidharth gave the most obvious reaction "what in the hell does she need now as they are already late due to traffic"
"bs 2 minutes" she ran to the store pinching his lips.
She bought a random 5XL shirt and before the store owner can acknowledge who came to his store, she paid him in a fraction of second and came running back to the car. "abhi kya chahiye tha ekdum se" sidharth asked as the driver drove to the destination.
"kuch nahi .. vaha jake dikhaugi" she giggled and hastily put the brown paper bag in her backpack.
They reached the airport and entered from the back gate to avoid any media. He knitted his brows together in confusion as she handed him the ticket printouts.
"baby hum chandigarh kyu jaa rhe hai ? Amritsar ki direct flight nahi thi kya?" he asked perplexed.
"arre yrr vo shehbaz ne khud hi kr dia .. udhr ki nahi available hogi to vaha ki kr di .. ekdum se ek din k andr andr ki na may be isiliye available na ho.. vaha chandigarh mei gaadi bhijwa dega vo" she replied looking at the hustle and bustle around.
"aur vese bhi zyada hi hua to pehele mere flat pe chalenge na .. uske baad ghar chle jayenge" she added in the most casual way still lost in the surroundings.
They boarded the flight and reached at chandigarh in the wee hours of dawn. The sun rise was just happening, a very thin orangish hue was spread around the darkness of sky. It was kind of a queit place around the airport. Less people were there. They went out and shehnaaz got a call from her brother. Getting all the details, she indicated sidharth to a luxurious black SUV waiting for them.
"chandigarh se Mohali tak ke liye bdi gaadi ki kya zarurat thi baby.. yahi tk to jana hai .. you said its 10 minutes ride" he asked giving the bags to the driver.
"ghar tak ki karwaai hogi usne" she replied very non chalantly settling in the car.
The car was very luxurious and spacious. The bags fitted in the trunk and the seats were enough comfortable to lean and sleep. She crouched towards him and wrapped her hands around him, giving him her famous bunny smile.
"vo teri achhe se khatirdaari kar rha hoga .. ke kahi tujhe kuch dikkat na aaye" she teased sidharth regarding her brother taking care of him making him blush.
He leaned back on the seat clutching her closer and closed his eyes. They both were continuously blabbering the most irrelevant things all the way in the flight and had zero sleep throughout the night so as soon as he got a comfort zone of the car , he dozed off while his little baby was all deep down in her thoughts. It was almost an hour of travelling when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw her sleeping on his chest.
"shehnaaz .. hum abhi tk drive hi kyu kri jaa rhe hai?" he questioned his confusion but she didn't budge from her sleep.
He asked the driver then "Mohali to nikl gya hoga na itni der me.."
The driver gave weird and confusing nod. It struck sidharth's mind that may be they were going to her home.
"Amritsar ko kitna time lagta hai chandigarh se?" he asked again to the driver.
The driver again gave a very confusing look but being intimidated by his personality he simply answered the asked question and did not put his nose into their matters "kuch 5 6 ghante .. subah subah ki road pe jaldi bhi ho skta"
Sidharth leaned back again and hugged her closer looking the bright day that was emerging with white sky.
"sidharth .. idhar aa soja chup chap .." she spoke snuggled in his chest and he obliged.
After almost 2 hours, she woke up to some chilly winds as the window was few inches down. She looked out and a beautiful smile covered her face. She came out of his embrace and nudged him at his shoulder. He made sleepy faces being irritated in his sleep. She pinched his nose and he opened his eyes at once.
"what.." he tried to speak but froze at the sight out the window.
"why are we in the hills baby?"
"sukoon k liye" she smiled.
He smiled back but still his mind was not as ease. He couldn't understand.
"tune kaha tha na k kahi chalte hai.. door.. jaha sukoon ho .. to sbse zyada sukoon pahadon mei hota hai .. dekh kitna sundr hai sb.. refreshing and calm.. aur agr pahadon pe hi jana tha to why not the best ones.. we are going to manali bebu!" she answered all his unspoken questions pointing her fingers to the beautiful hills outside. The mountains were not much right now as they just entered the zone but the feel of the winds were changed. They were chilly as compared to the city ones soothing their nerves.
