The Blissful Marriage 💓💫

Part 14

Sidharth was in a hurry to the office in the morning. He was searching for a file and was going mad as he couldn't find it anywhere.

"Sana....." He screamed from the room. "Pata nhi kaha chali gyi...? Sanaaa.... Yaar meri file doond do". Sidharth said searching in the cupboard for the nth time. Sana entered the soom silently and moved to the cupboard and gestured him to move aside. She silently started searching for the file without paying any attention to him which didn't go unnoticed by him.

"Yaar maine dekha usme... Nhi hai. Kaha le jaake rakhti hai tu saari cheezein?" He said in an irritated tone standing beside her. But she didn't reply to him and took the file from the drawer. She handed it to him and went back to sort the mess he had created during the search party.

"Yehi thi kya? Maine doondha tab to nhi mila..." He said going through the file. But he turned to look at her when he didn't get a single word as reply. What happened to her? He thought. It was a regular scenario in their house, him searching for something which is kept in front of his eyes. And finally, she had to come leaving everything else to find his stuff and hand it over after long lectures and taunts. But today was different. He felt weird seeing her so gloomy and silent. He had no idea what happened to her. She was only like this from yesterday night. She hadn't talked to him much and slept early before he came to bed.

"Huh... Pehle to poore waqt mere peeche peeche rehti thi subah. Mujhe office bhejne se pehle nahane bolti thi, meri shirt iron karti thi, purse, phone sab laake deti thi, yaha tak tie bhi baandthi thi... ab dekho, isse meri kuch padi nhi hai". He said to annoy her and expected a loud reaction from her but he was again disappointed. He was not used to this Shehnaaz and was not liking it either. He stood closer to her and caged her from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder when he spoke-

"Kya hua baby?" She stopped what she was doing and simply stood there. She kept her hand above his arm, which gripped her torso.

"Hmm? Kya hua tujhe? Kuch bol kyu nhi rhi baba?" He asked sweetly nuzzling into her neck. She stood there like a statue, looking down. "Naaraz hai tu mujhse?" He frowned not getting any response from her.

"Nhi to... Mai kyu naaraz hongi aapse Sidharth?" She asked. But her voice wasn't the same as usual. She was sounding gloomy and something panged in his heart hearing her. He immediately turned her to face him. Her gaze was fixated on the floor. He held her chin up making her look directly into his eyes. Her eyes missed the usual glow and life. They seemed dead and sorrowful. He frowned seeing her eyes. He was confused as well as worried.

"Sweetheart... kya hua?" He asked cupping her face. "Kya hua tujhe? Haa...?"

"Kuch nhi hua Sidharth..." She said faking a smile to comfort him. But who was she lying to?

"Phir muh kyu latkaya hua hai aisa? Haan? Tabiyat kharab hai kya?" He asked keeping his palm on her forehead. His voice was laced with worry, which pierced her heart.
"Bol na kya hua? Maine kuch Kiya hai kya baba? Yaa kisi ne kuch bola hai tujhe?"

"Nhi Sidharthh... Sacchi kuch nhi hua hai. I'm fine". She said holding his hands. He was still not convinced but didn't push her further.

"Mai... Um wo thode din office nhi aaungi..." She spoke hesitantly.

"Kyu?" He frowned. Now he was sure that something was wrong.

"Wo... Kuch nhi. Aise hi. Mujhe rest chaiye thode din. Lekin agar kuch kaam hoga to aap message kar Dena. Mai aa jaungi". She said.

"Sana kuch baat hai kya baby? Bata na mujhe? Please". He pleaded.

"Arre nhi Sidharth. It's nothing. Bass kuch din. Uske baad I will join the office". She said with a comforting smile. He was hella worried by now. What is going on with her?
