chapter 12

"The temperature is high recently. You sweat too much. The loss of water will increase the viscosity of your blood. That's why you have become so grumpy. Drink this glass of water. " Sidharth was scolding Aarav for his mischief in the hospital to which aarav made a face and shrugged. Sidharth raised his eyebrow at him.

You think your helping Dr. Shehnaaz. Think about this." Sidharth scolded Aarav. Aarav grabbed his I pad from the table and write something.

"I was protecting her." Aarav write and showed it to sidharth. "You were protecting her?" You still need me to clean up your mess." Sidharth chided again. Just in time reyansh walked in the house with a grumpy face.

"I gave you spare key is not for you to just go in and out of my house freely. " Sidharth said to Reyansh while he just beside him in sofa.

"Go back to your room. Think about it." Sidharth turned his attention to Aarav and asked him to leave. Aarav took his I pad and left the place.

"What's wrong with you again?" Sidharth asked noticing Reyansh's grumpy mood.

"Your high profile marriage stimulated my father. Other then doing everything possible to force me marry he inferred in my work. He replaced all my female workers with me. He made clear that he would never let me have any female employees again. This means the next women I hold will be my wife." Reyansh said with a huff to which Sidharth only shook his head.

In the early morning shehnaaz decided to go for a walk, so that she can think clearly about the ring and find a solution.

"Should I call mom and dad and tell them. They will be very angry. " Shehnaaz muttred to herself and pouted.

"I think I should buy a lottery ticket." Her face lit up for a moment at the thought. But then chuckled.

"How dare I. Since I was a kid, I only won a coke bottle. Why I'm so unlucky." She mumbled stomping her feet, whining and sulking like a child.

She reached in park near a tree when she noticed a cat climbed on the tree. She was meowing softly. "My God, how can you climb so high?" She said. She kept her foot on a big stone and kept her hand kn branch. She climbed and picked up the cat. She was about to fall when she felt two strong arms gripped her securely. When she opened her eyes she noticed her best friend karan.

"Karan, how come it's you." She asked in surprise.

"I've helped you again." He said.

"You've gone to abroad. When you came back? You didn't even tell me." Shehnaaz asked him string of question

"I just came back." He said, a small smile playing on his lips. "Is this your cat?" He asked.

"No its not mine. I saved it from the trees." She said

"I don't know if it is hurt. My studio is nearby. Why don't we take it to check?" Karan said.

"Sure, let's go."

Shehnaaz and karan reached to the studio. "It's beautiful." Shehnaaz complimented.

"Hello, Dr. Karan" One of his staff greeted him. "Hello." He greeted back.

"This is my new physiological clinic. Let's go to my office. " Shehnaaz nodded , catvin her hands.

"Wow all these are yours cats." Her eyes lit up when she saw a cabin of cats.

"Did you still love cats?" She asked amused. "I still remember when we were in college you specially placed a dozen of wood huts for stray cats in campus and feed them." She said in a happy tone.

"I'm a very happy as a cat person. Money I earn from the clinic is used to rescue stray animals. Karan said wearing a glove. "Come let me see you." He said grabbing the cat from shehnaaz's hand. "It's okay, but just a little malnourished." He said examining the cat carefully.

"You seem so professional." She said happily. "Do you want raise it." Karan asked her. Her eyes lit up but then she thought for a moment.

"Of course I do. But it's too small. I'm afraid I can't take care of it." She said thoughtfully. "OR I just leave it with you. It's enough for me to look at it every day when I get off work." She came up with the idea. Her eyes looking expectantly at karan. "Yes of course." Karan replied matching her enthusiasm. Shehnaaz opened the cabinet door and karan kept the careful in it.

"I heard about you and Mr. Shukla." Karan said to shehnaaz hesitantly.

"Yes, it's all over. Shehnaaz said. Both of them chatted for a while to catch up the lost time.

*******

Shehnaaz was in her room playing game on phone to prevent the boredom. Her door bell rang making her groan. "Coming." She yelled, wore her slippers and made her way towards door. When she opened the door she was shocked to see the person in front of her.

"Mom Dad. Why are you here?" She called them in. "Oh beta you have pretty good house." Her father said. However her mother was making faces seeing the mess.

" look at these messy socks. You leave things everywhere." Her mother scolded. Shehnaaz pouted and make faces. She was used to her mother's scoldings since she was a messy child from beginning.

"You can't put plants in the bedroom. It can absorb the oxygen." Her mother chided again. "By the what's on the bed. Your eating snacks again in the bed. You haven't changed since you were a kid. Her mother ranted. Shehnaaz signaled her father with her eyes to stop her mother.

"All right. We are here to see our daughter. And you've become an inspector." Her father said nodding at her. Shehnaaz quickly ran to her father's side and entangled her arm with his.

"Dad you've come a long way. Let me prepare something for you." She said rushing to kitchen. But her mother stopped her by her hand.

" Come here. Don't go anywhere. Even when your baby born, we still know nothing." Her mother commented. Shehnaaz gasped.

"Yes, call that man for me." Her father said with a stern tone.

"We got the information of our daughter's engagement from the internet. Do you know how we feel?' Her mother said dramatically to which Shehnaaz only made baby faces. "Even the ladies of our society congratulating me on my promotion to top class." Her mother exaggerated to shoe her how hurt she was.

"It's like you don't want to be congratulated." Shehnaaz muttred under her breath. "Dear daughter." Her mother said in sweet tone taking her hand and checking her pulse from her wrist.

"Are you pregnant?" She asked in a muffled tone. Shehnaaz eyes widened. "I'm not pregnant." She yelled freeing her hand. Listen to me mom.

"I and sidharth, our marriage is fake."

"Fake".

Shehnaaz told them the entire scene from the beginning.

"But..." There is no but... she cut them off showing her hand. "Tonight I'll sleep on the couch, you two will sleep in my bedroom." She said to dismiss them.

"I just saw a storage room over there. You clean it. Your dad and me can live there for some days." Shehnaaz gasped. She tried to speak but her mother didn't let her. "That's it."
