LOVE

Chapter 22. Confession

"Dekho baccha...Shehnaaz is our daughter...so Sidharth tum iske bhai hue na...that's why" said Mrs Shukla sweetly.

While Sidharth & Shehnaaz nodded absentmindedly...but then one....two... three....&....boom...

"Nooooo" they both said in unison.

There jaw dropped on the floor...while Mr & Mrs Shukla grinned internally

"No Mom"  "No Aunty " shouted both in unison again & stood up.

& sweat beads started forming on their heads.

"Mom....Shehnaaz can never be my sister mom" said Sidharth in a meek voice...holding Mrs Shukla's hand...stating that how hard is he controlling.

While Mrs. Shukla said in the calm voice again...while Mr Shukla was looking at both of them...sweat beads formation...there trembling attitude...straightway told how shocked they are & he sighed...as he can't speak anything in between of his wife.

"Kyu...tu humara beta...yeh beti...toh brother- sis...." Mrs Shukla was cutoff in between now by Shehnaaz.

"Nahi aunty...Sidharth can never ever be my brother " she stated composing herself.

"Kyu?" Asked Mr Shukla in his stern voice.

& then there they got the signal...they can not escape his parent's now...they both were sweating in the air conditioned room...

Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz & at the same time she too looked at him...

They were talking through their eyes...& there eyes were teary...they now...how they are holding their tears.

While Shehnaaz nod a little & assured him...through her eyes...& there trance was broken by Mrs Shukla's cold voice "Kyu?"

While a tear escapes from Shehnaaz's eye. & Sidharth unanimously wiped it & draped his hand around her waist taking her in the side hug.

While Mr & Mrs Shukla was really relaxed from their hearts....as they could only see their children were so in love with each other.

"Kyunki Shehnaaz meri dost hai...dost nahi....dost se kahi zyada bhad kar hai" said Sidharth slowly & a tear escape from the corner of his eyes.

"Mein aur Sidharth ek dusre se pyaar karte hai" now said Shehnaaz with shaky voice...which held determination & moist eyes...leaving the other three shocked in the room.

Mr & Mrs Shukla was very happy....but Sidharth had never thought that Shehnaaz will straightway confess...that's why he said the friend thing.

"Aage kuch kehna hai....Sidharth " asked Mr Shukla.

"We know each other from the day I went to USA...she was my friend back then...& only Indian...we studied together...even lived together...but something happened...we don't want to talk about it now...& then I came to India & from 3 years we were not in touch & then she came as the CFO...& then we talk...I know everything is not clear DAD...but I can't let her go now" said Sidharth everything...his eyes were shedding tears...while Shehnaaz crying was turning into sobs.

The tear escapes from Mrs Shukla's eyes....& she took Shehnaaz into a hug...while Mr Shukla too hugged Sidharth....be it a tough man...but Mr Shukla always makes sure...that not a single tear should come in his wife's & son's eyes...he never shows...but he is just like coconut...& Sidharth definitely took this trait from his father.

"Hume pehle kyu nhi bataya"? Asked Mrs Shukla whispering

"Hum batana chahte the...but always some situations strikes" replied sidharth.
