Sidharth locked the door behind as he entered the room. He looked at her sleeping figure whose back was facing him. He climbed the bed and slided closer to her.
Sidharth: Sana.. Sana.. Are you sleeping?
He places his hand on her arm and she shrugs off his hand. He understood that she wasn't sleeping yet. He slides his hand on her waist to pull her closer to him, she refrains him from doing so by bending her elbow and pushing him.
Sidharth: Huh? What happened darling? It's me your husband, Sidharth Shastri. (Smiles)
Shehnaaz doesn't react to his words. This makes him more curious to learn why was she annoyed. He realized that she hadn't spoken to him since afternoon which he failed to notice as he was busy with his work.
He holds her arm again to turn her to face him however she pulls her arm back and continues to turn her back to him. He gets up and snuggles closer to her. She moves toward the edge of the bed trying to avoid his touch.
Sidharth: Sana, my sweetheart. Are you angry with me? What is the reason? What have I done dear?
She was still silent. He leans closer to her face and cups her face to make her look at him.
Sidharth: Sana, why are you not answering me? I was busy with corrections dear hence I couldn't talk to you. Are you mad because of it? I will make up for it now.
He leans further to kiss her lips but she turns her face with full force, making him end up kissing her cheeks instead. She wipes her cheeks.
Sidharth: You don't want your husband to love you?
Sana: (angrily) Save it for Patralekha who you wish to marry.
Sidharth was shocked. He gulped as he realised the reason behind her anger. He had spoken those words in flow in anger not thinking about the consequences.
Sidharth: Sana, sweetheart, I said it out of anger. You also know I didn't mean even a single word from that sentence.
Sana: Really, what if I had used such sentence for a person who you dislike?
Sidharth: Sana, why are you behaving like this? You couldn't speak a word earlier when I was actually going to see a suitress and now even after knowing how much I love you, you still frown at such small and baseless statements.
Sana: Exactly, because at that time, you didn't accept me as your wife. Now we both know that you belong to me only. How can I tolerate you saying that you want to marry that Patralekha who tried to kill me? You are the one who asked me to be bold. I know to stand up for what belongs to me. I am not like your Patralekha, wanting to snatch things which don't belong to others.
Sidharth was gawking at his wife. Her possessiveness for him and bold attitude was his favourite. Everyone likes to be addressed as 'mine' by the person they love. He was loving it as well.
Sidharth: I love you!
Sana: Huh? Don't try to divert the topic. I am still mad at you.
Sidharth: I love you!
Sana: I am not going to give up.
Sidharth: I love you!
Sana: I am going to sleep. (She turns her back to him)
Sidharth: I love you!
Sana: I am not listening. (Keeps her hand on her ear)
Sidharth: I love you!
She could hear it even with her hands pressed against her ears. A soft smile leaves her lips. There was silence and she lowered her hand and turned slowly to check him.
Sana: Ooi Maa..
She felt shy when she saw him still gawking at her. Instead of closing her ears she closed her face with her palms. He smiled.
Sidharth: I love you.
She moved closer to him and hid her face in his chest and he hugged her back.
Sidharth: I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..
She lifted her head and placed her hand on his lips.
Sana: Enough, your voice is getting louder. Didi or Jiju might hear you.
He kissed her hand.
Sidharth: They must be asleep already. And I am talking to my wife, why should I fear?
He pulled her hand off his lips and kissed her passionately and romanced his wife before falling asleep in each other's embrace.
The next day, they both go to college together. As her classes got over, she leaves for home whereas his working hours were still not over. She takes a horse cart and goes to Patralekha's mansion to meet her father.
PF: Please come! Thank you for coming. What have you and your husband decided?
Shehnaaz: Sir, I am ready to forgive and take back the complain however my husband wants a written apology from Patralekha which would further state that she won't trouble or harm us in future.
PF: I understand his concern for you. I will ask her to provide an apology letter.
Shehnaaz: Thank you Uncle. I had just come to tell you this because even I don't want you and your family suffering. I must leave now.
PF: Thank you for understanding and being so considerate.
Shehnaaz gets up and walks out of their Royal Mansion. The moment she steps out, she flinches by closing her eyes at something which fell from the second floor. When she opens her eyes, she was horrified and screams on top of her voice.
The sight infront of her gave her a shiver and her knees fell weak to even take a step forward.
Patralekha had plunged down from the second floor and landed with a thud infront of her. The blood oozed out from her head and after a brief reflex she ceased to move. PF and the servants came running to the spot listening to the loud scream. Everyone was terrified with the scene.
Shehnaaz lost her consciousness after witnessing the incident. Everyone around was so engrossed and occupied with tragedy that no one noticed the unconcious Shehnaaz on the floor.
An ambulance arrives on the spot and picks up the corpse. PF was a crying mess whereas her mother was in shock. A servant finally finds Shehnaaz and splashes water on her to wake her up. Shehnaaz shivered and cried as the incident replayed infront of her eyes every second. The police takes everyones statement including Shehnaaz's before allowing her to go home.
