Sana- the same night dadi passed away . . .
Sid- what happened that night ?
Sana- You did not pick my calls up which made me feel that you already know about it and you decided to leave me.
Sid- clear shabdon mein batao Shehnaaz from the start
Sana- that night , I was free from my work earlier then usual. So I thought to visit Mummy Ji as it had been a while that we did not meet and she was not keeping well with herself either.  On the way I called Dadi and talked to her for a while. That night I thought to talk to mummy Ji about our marriage so got some sweets too.
But ...
Sid- but ?
Sana- but everything changed that night Sidharth. (She started weeping silently , and narrated the story to him)

FLASHBACK !
Shehnaaz was all cheerful to talk about that topic to Sm. She gave the sweets to one of the servants and walked towards Sm's room , almost running.
She was about to enter when she heard.

ON CALL
Sm- mein kaise batungi Sidharth ko yeh bhaisahab ?
Man- behenji wo aap dekh lijiye . . .
Sm- Bhaisahab mera beta kisi se pyaar karta hai or wo ladki bhi bahut pyaar karti hai mere bete se.
Man- behenji mein kya bol sakta hun maine to apni beti ko sabse dur rakha na ?
Sm- Bhaishab yeh waada to aapse mere pati kakre gaye the , mein aapse jhooth nahi kahungi per mujhe to iss baare mein pata bhi nahi tha ki mere Sidharth ki shaadi wo tay karke gaye hai.
Man- behenji aapko pata ho ya na pata ho wo keh kar to mujhse gaye the na ? Maine to apni beti ko humesha yahi bataya ki uski shaadi tey ho chuki hai.
Sm- dekhiye bhaisahab mein kuch nahi keh rahi hun lekin , ismay mere bete ki ya uss ladki ki kya galaati hai ?
Man- galti to meri beti ki bhi nahi hai fir to ...
Sm- nahi bhaisahab galti kisi ki bhi nahi hai lekin mein aapko yeh bata dun Sidharth nahi maanenga .
Man- to fir maniye usko (saying so he cut the call )
Shehnaaz who head everything as the phone was on speaker is now devastated.
She knows if Sidharth gets to know about this he will be devastated too.
His love and respect for his parents is on another level but he loves her too.
Knowing every fact she just took steps forward towards Sm.
SIDHARTH'S mother who was sitting on the bed with a heavy heart , thinking about everything felt a hug from back and she knew the soft hug could only be given by one person and that is SHEHNAAZ.
She turned and hugged her back.
Sm- bacche tu yahan ?
Sana- haan mummy ji , maine socha aaj aapse mil lun ...
Sm look at her and tried acting all calm and made her sit on the bed.
Sana- aap mujhse na chupae kuch bhi mummy ji , maine sab sun liya hai !
Sm looked at her and tears started flowing down her eyes.
Sm- jo tu samjah rahi hai waisa nahi hai beta. Sidharth ke papa ne Sidharth ki shaadi apne ek bussiness partner ki beti se fix kardi hai. jaise unhone ne Shweta ki , ki thi , Sidharth ko to iss baare mein pata bhi nahi hai . Mujhe bhi nahi pata tha jab tak aaj unka call aaya. Sidharth ke papa ne mujhe Shweta ke rishta tey hone ke baad bataya tha lekin Sidharth ka nahi . Mujhe maaf karde beta . Please or tu pareshaan bhi mat ho .
Sana- Shh . .  Shh ! aaram se koi jaldi nahi hai. Aap shant hojaiye pehle fir.
Sehhnaaz passed her a glass of water and Sm gulped it down.

Sm- beta mein kya karun batao ab ? (she asked looking at shehnaaz with teary eyes)
Sana- mummy ji aapne kuch nahi karna hai. Ab jo karna hai maine karna hai.
Sm- matlab ?
Sana- mein jaanti hun ki Sidharth mujhse bahut pyaar karta hai itna to shayad hi koi kisi se karta hoga lekin mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ki wo aapse or papa ji se bahut pyaar karta hai. Aap logo ki kahi har baat uske liye pathar ki lakeer hai. Mein usko aap mein or apne mein se choose karne ko to nahi bol sakti hun na ? Mujhe pata hai ki na wo papa ji ki iccha ko mana kar sakta hai or na hi wo mujhe chodh sakta hai. Lekin mummy ji papa ji to yehi chahte the na ?
Sm- uske papa uski khushi chahte the bacche.
Sana- lekin yeh baat agar Sidharth ko pata chali to usse bahut bura lagega ki wo apne papa ki ek iccha puri nahi kar saka.
Mummy Ji , mein Sidharth ki badi behen se mili to nahi lekin mein yeh jaanti hun ki unhone yahi kiya tha. Unhone usse Shaadi ki jis ladke ko papa ji unke liye choose kar ke gaye the. Waise hi Sidharth bhi wahi karega ... or usse karna bhi chahiye. I don't know mummy ji , ki agar wo ladki Sidharth see pyaar karegi ya nahi lekin haan yeh zaroor pata hai ki , mein kabhi pyaar karna nahi chodhungi usse.
Sm- beta tu yeh sab kya bol rahi hai ? Kya karne wali hai tu ?
Sana- Mummy ji , mein Sidharth se breakup kar leti hun . . . mein kuch soch lungi or dur hojaungi usse . . .
Sm- nahi hum ko Sidharth se baat karni hogi , usse batana hoga
Sana- Nahi mummy ji mein nahi chahti usko iss situation se guzarna pade. Or ap tension na la , jo likha hota hai wohi hota hai . Shayad humari life mein milna nahi likha hoga.
Sm- beta koi rasta nikal hi aaega .

Sm was about to pat Shehnaaz's head when Shehnaaz's phone started to buzz. As soon as she attended the call Shehnaaz got the most heartbreaking news of her life. Her dadi passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest. Shehnaaz couldn't feel  herself anymore and she just hugged Sm and cried.
Sm- kya hua bacche ?
Sana- Dadi  . . .(she said crying like a baby)
Sm understood the scenario and hugged her tightly.
sm- bus mere bacche . . .
Sana- mein , Punjab jaa rahi hun mummy ji.
Sm- mein bhi chalti hun ruk.
Sana- nahi aap yahi raho , aapki waise bhi tabiiyat thikh nahi hai.
Sm- nahi beta mein chalti hun tere saath hi.
Sana-Aap Sidharth ke saath aajana.
Sm- sure?
Sana- haan mummy ji.
Sm- dhyaan rakhna apna beta.
Shehnaaz nodded and left from there , trying to act all strong. But only she knew what she felt like. She was almost at the edge of loosing everything and later she did.
She booked an uber and immediately booked a flight to Punjab , she did not care how expensive the flight was , all she cared about was her dadi and Baaz. She knew Baaz would not be able to take it. She hurriedly reached the airport after gathering her passport from her house.
On the way she tried calling Sidharth multiple times but he did not received her call. She thought to text him and she did  that tooo. But as if universe was against all of it. Nothing reached him. His phone was switched off , she then called her friends Shreya and Shefali , as soon as they heard about the news they too took the first flight to Punjab.
Reaching Punjab after months only pained Shehnaaz more. Entering her house reminded her of all the happy and Sad moments , she spent with her family. Today Baaz and Sana both considered themselves orphan , now they had no elder with them no parents , no grandparents or uncle or aunts. Just the siblings for each other. Seeing Baaz sitting on a plastic chair all drenched in sweat , crying silently , acting all strong and stable. Shehnaaz rushed towards him dropping all her stuff on the floor . pulling Shehbaaz into a tight hug. All people around looked at them with sympathetic look , some with adoration and some with pity. The people around them knew the struggle of this sibling. They were well aware of what value their dadi held for them.
sana- Baaz ... bus .. shh.. shabash ! chal shant hoja . Bus dekh nahi to fir Dadi tujhe rota hua dekh ke meri class laga dengi.

After sometime they calmed themselves down and did the rituals.
After the crimination , shehnaaz came back to her room and checked her phone instantly. Still no reply from Sidharth. She tried calling him again and again but no response. She checked the time , and it was late afternoon.
she did not sleep from last 48-hours. Those worst 48 hours.
Shreya , Chetna and Shefali came from behind , they knew well what was going on with her.
They hugged her from behind.
Shreya- tu kuch khale , tabse bhooki baithi hai.
Shefali- haan jaa pehle naha le or fresh hoja , tab tak hum kuch khane ko leke aate hai.
Sana- baaz ?
Chetna- wo khana kha ke so gaya hai , uska bestfriend hai uske saath.
Shehnaaz nodded.
Sana- tum logo ne kuch khaya ?
Chetna- tere bina to nahi kahenge na ? Chal jaa ke fresh ho.
Sana- hmm
She did not argue any further and went to take a shower.
Shreya- Chetna , Shefali tum dono jaake khana kha lo or rest karlo , thak gai hogi , or shaam ki flight bhi hai t aaaram karlo.
Shefali- are lekin
Shreya- argue mat kar Shef , jaa jake aaram kar. Or Chetna tujhe fever hai na ?
Chetna- hmm
Chetna and Shefali had the food which was brought to them from the next door neighbour as there will be no cooking in the house for next few days.
