Only If She Knew✔️

chapter : 19

"Take stand for yourself Shehnaaz. Then see how things will start changing", he said to which Shehnaaz nodded and smiled looking at him. She now want her to try searching truth as well. If not Sidharth and her father then who created misunderstanding between them? What if her father was real culprit?

"Should I come?", Sidharth asked

"No Sidharth. Mom needs you. Even dad is coming back so spend time with them", Shehnaaz said with a smile but his smile fades away and he shouted

"Ohh my God dad.... Shehnaaz I forgot to take him again being Careless. Now he will kill me",he said with nervousness and fear. He ran out of room when he noticed his father entering with bags

"I was going to..", Sidharth tried to explain when Ashok showed his hand to him . Shehnaaz came and stand behind Sidharth. She noticed both of her father's standing beside eachother

"Wow it's my gift for comeback Hana?", asked Ashok confusing Shehnaaz, Sidharth and her father as well.

"I am talking about Shehnaaz. Come my child. Meeting you after many years", called Ashok. Shehnaaz looked towards Sidharth who gestured her to go. Shehnaaz walked towards Ashok and hugged him. Her every fear from his family flew away, she is happy that this family understand her and believe her unlike other people she meet in these years who made her culprit.

"Namaste Bhai sahab", said Ashok to Parminder after breaking hug with Shehnaaz

"Namaste. Should we leave Shehnaaz?", Asked Parminder

"Are you going Shehnaaz?", asked Ashok being disappointed. He thought he will be able to talk with Shehnaaz after years but hearing about her going he is disappointed

"Jii papa jii. I will come back tomorrow or day after tomorrow", Shehnaaz said and touched his feet to take blessings. He gave her blessings and approved her to go.

Parminder asked her to sit inside car as Shehnaaz was looking towards gate of the mansion. She sat inside car with many questions running inside her mind. She don't have any idea whom to doubt if neither Sidharth is culprit nor her father.

When they reached home her father dragged her towards hall and shouted

"How can you marry that guy? Didn't I asked you to stay away with him? Or you were enjoying night with him again after...", Parminder said when Shehnaaz interrupted him in middle

"Dad I know what is right and wrong. And nothing such happened between us", Shehnaaz said

"Stop believing that guy who left you and now forced you to marry him",Said Parminder stating fact. Shehnaaz rolled her eyes as she don't have anything to say now. She is tired of daily fights in her house

"Even you know whom I actually wanted to marry. I don't regret marrying him dad. I still love him. Don't do this to us please. Let us solve everything between us. I think he is not wrong. He will prove it soon", Shehnaaz said softly.

"You should not believe his proofs. He is billionaire. He can collect fake proofs",Parminder said to continue argument with her till she agree with his conditions

"Then why that billionaire married me? Why his eyes held tears when I said I... regret.. giving myself to him? I regret saying those words to him. I don't know if he deserve this or not. I know I heard many taunts whereas he heard praise but don't you think hate from someone we love hurt more than anything in this world? He himself said that he want to hear praise from me not hateful words", Shehnaaz said sadly .she remember how he said that he want her support nothing else. She herself want everything fine between both families but she don't know how to. She want her father to understand her and Sidharth to believe her father

"For his own reasons which I don't know but I will not let you meet him. You will not visit his mansion and will stay in this house", said Parminder. Shehnaaz sat on sofa holding her head. She don't want to drag argument and don't want to blame him but his every word for Sidharth is not forcing her to doubt him. She took a long breathe to question him directly to clear every misunderstanding today without waiting for any proof

"I will as I am married now. Agree or not. Anyways you forced me to ask this. I want truth not even I percent of lie. Did you forced Sidharth to leave this place?", Shehnaaz asked with plain face. Parminder looked at her shocked because till now he thought Shehnaaz will not doubt him but her question scared him . What if she started hating him?

She walked towards her father and sat near him

"W... why are you asking me this?", asked her father trying hard to look normal but his voice lost confidence and face lost colour

"Swear upon me that you never asked Sidharth to leave me years before", Shehnaaz asked and placed his hand on her head. Parminder looked at her with tears because now he can't lie. He was doing everything for his daughter, for her better future because for him Sidharth was her worst choice

"Why are you quiet? ", Shehnaaz asked panicking what if whatever Sidharth said comes out to be truth. How she will forgive herself then?

"Yes I sent him but for your good Shehnaaz. He is not one for you", said Parminder and took his hand back but his answer came as a shock for Shehnaaz. Her eyes started having tears. She stepped back and shooked her head as words dried in her throat

"H..e was innocent", Shehnaaz said in low voice with tears of regret. From past years she thought her father is best without knowing that he is the reason of her sufferings. She kept on blaming that innocent guy who always loved her selflessly

"He is not. He was carefree guy in college. Do you think he can get success without one night stands? I know he is not good. Don't ruin your life", said Parminder trying hard to put sense in her brain regarding Sidharth character

"I know him much better", Shehnaaz shouted

"Tell me how you sent him", Shehnaaz asked to which Parminder told her that how he gave him challenge to become best buisnessmen for her which broke Shehnaaz more with guilt knowing that her father forced him to leave his dreams and Sidharth agreed for her

"He left his dream of being an actor papa. How can you be so cruel. Didn't you ever noticed where my happiness lies", Shehnaaz asked with tears in low voice

"Did he came back here to meet me? After getting award?", Asked Shehnaaz after wiping her tears. She don't want to cry in front of him now thinking What if he used her weakness again?

"Yes but Shehnaaz try to understand that was..", Parminder tried explaining his side when Shehnaaz showed her hand to him

"Not a word more then. You were the reason I lost everything And you kept blaming him who was unaware of situation here. In front of my eyes you proved him wrong, you showed he cheated me when in reality he is still same and you were cheating me", Shehnaaz said in cold voice. She felt bad for using this voice with her father but right now she want him tell him how wrong he is

"I am going back where I belong now. As I am married. Moreover I can't live with you who never noticed his daughter happiness. Atleast you could have tried informing him about my pregnancy dad. Why you never asked him to come?", Shehnaaz asked raising her voice a little to show her anger

"Because I thought he will never gain success and you will not live a life which you deserve", replied Parminder

"Han how can I forget which life I deserved. Which life I got without him."Shehnaaz said and left mansion after picking her mobile phone and purse

"Why I am feeling like something is not good? This anxiety is not going", Sidharth thought and rubbed his hand near his heart. He looked at his parents who were laughing together. They trio were talking when suddenly he started feeling anxiety

"You guys should continue", Sidharth said and left from there hurriedly as he knew if he stayed there his parents will stop him. After reaching his room he called Shehnaaz but she didn't picked his call which increased his fear more
