TADAP

Chapter 4 - Growing closer

It was another Sunday when Shehnaaz woke up too early in the morning and decided to hit the gym though she was hella exhausted from working late nights, she needed a break from all her tensions & she thought working out may give her a bit of relief.

But who knew that her thought of relief was going to be short lived as she entered the gym & spotted Sidharth Singh Ranawat flexing his biceps with dumbbell sets. His face had weird expressions with every flex he did but boy! He looked smoking hot even with those sweat beads on his forehead cascading down his temples to his throat & an almost wet t-shirt,also his shorts hiked up on one leg doing no good to the girls around in the gym as they ogled at him.

She instantly felt a tinge of anger at those girls but suddenly thought why was she so affected by them ogling at a man whom she met only once & who abruptly ended her call on a rude note.

She gave a strong stare at those girls nevertheless as she shrugged and walked ahead to begin her warm up by stretching when she noticed that he saw her too but continued what he was doing.

"Kitna attitude wala Banda hai yeh" she thought in her mind & stared back at him, he looked away.

His nonchalance irked her all the more making her suddenly acknowledge that this man was affecting her like none would.

She began doing jumping jacks, an exercise where she had to
jump to a position with the legs spread wide and the hands going overhead, and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides which usually makes the body bounce.

Sidharth was doing a dead lift completely ignoring her presence right next to her when he heard someone say "Bhai kya jump mar rhi...sexy dikh rhi hai nai, yeh curvy ladkiya hai na jab jump karte hai kya nazara hota hai unke kamar se upar..." And that male was punched on his face by none other than, No not Mr Sidharth but Miss Shehnaaz Kaur Bhalla.

"Kutta! Sorry bol... Bol sorry! Itna gandh kaise bak leta hai tu?!" She roared holding the collar of that person, truly like a lioness. Sidharth had a proud smile on his face but his fists were bound so tight that his veins on his wrist were evidently seen. He was filled with rage to hear such utter disgusting words for a woman & was about to punch him when Shehnaaz was quicker than him to do the same.

She left the collar of that person who commented & slapped the one who was listening to him & enjoying it. "Haiwan ho tum log! Tere ghar ke ladkiyo ko bhi aise bolta hai tu?" She slapped again & the other one was about to hold her hand. Sidharth stepped ahead before he could & twisted his arms but he stayed quiet knowing that she could fight her battles.

Shehnaaz saw that and called out
"Kabir! Kabir...!" She shouted at the manager of the gym & he came running to her listening to her loud screech.

"Ma'am... Wha... What happened?" He asked scared to face her.

"What sort of people come here? Don't you check the cctv cameras & strictly tell people to mind their business, not to comment on random girls who come to work out here?!" Shehnaaz glared at him.

"Ma'am... Uh..voh..." Kabir fumbled.

"Shehnaaz Ma'am, yeh Kabir ji meri baat sunte nai hai... Meine pehle bhi theen bar bola hai ki aise log yaha pe misbehave karte hai par unhone ek nahi suni meri... Last time jab aapne complain Kiya ek bande ke barei mei usko bhi inhone kuch nahi bola..." Sonu the instructor confessed, but it was Sidharth who was looking clueless as to why he was complaining about him to Shehnaaz. He still held the twisted arms of that person as he looked curious at them.

"Kabir, you are fired!" Shehnaaz spat.

Everyone were astonished to hear her say this except Sonu.

"Ma'am please... I... I... Will sort..." Kabir tried to explain but in vain as Shehnaaz showed her hand ✋ to stop and said "Jab mere gym mei mere bare mei aise neech batein boli ja sakti hai toh dusre ladkiyo ka kya? Don't even try to open your mouth. You are fired and that's it."
