Sidharth

Ashu : Sidharth ....
Sid: Haan....
Ashu: Kuch puchna hai I hope sach batayega.
Sid: Itna formal kyun ho raha hai bhai, bol na
Ashu: Tu Shehnaaz ko pehle jaanta tha
Sid: c'mon yaar Ashu, Pehle bhi bola tha aaj bhi bol raha hoon That Day on Nidhi's phone was the first time I heard her voice, dekha toh uske bhi bahut baad main, nhi jaanta tha pehle but I hope pehle jaanta hota.

Ashu: Sidharth....

His voice held care, care for me and tbh I missed it, the way he held power on me was what made him different from all of friends I had, Ashu was and would be always my family, my small brother, my family apart from the one that has given me birth and I know him being the closest I have all the rights to know about my past.

Ashu: Aadia Sinha...... How Sidharth?  He asked on the call and I sighed. It was the same day Aahnik has returned to bed crying and I was helpless seeing him such but Shehnaaz had asked not to go behind him for the day and I was against it but Ashu called at the same moment.

"Promise me you won't blame anyone if I tell you the truth" I spoke and he nodded I could feel. I switched the call to Video Call and kept it on the railing carefully.

Aahan, yaad hai , I asked lighting up a cigarette.

Yeah your best friend, who shifted here in Chandigarh I guess, he replied casually.

Hmm, Uski beti hai Aadia I sighed and he looked at me shocked.

You never were married right Sidharth, there was no one for whom you left your family, he asked and I nodded.

Zindagi main pehli baar I have felt an emotion called as love aur voh Shehnaaz hai, I have been with a lot of women I agree but no I have never been married, not even close to what I feel for her, Nimi mera past hai but I assure you Ashu, Shehnaaz might not be my first but would always be my last, I replied and a few tears rolled down my eyes.

Sidharth, Ashu spoke his eyes moist himself.

Theek hoon main Ashu, Aahan aur Ridhi, uski wife were madly in love or this was what Aahan thought, they were blessed with twins, and Aahan loved them both equally but Aadia special thi, because he always wanted a girl I guess.... I spoke.

Twins, ek Aadia aur Dusra Aahnik? He stated but I don't know instead of getting shocked I sighed, I had a similar feeling myself but I have no idea of Shehnaaz and her past. Neither do I know how was Vedant related to Ridhi, All I know is Shehnaaz got Aahnik from an orphanage and nothing else.

Kyun soch raha hai utna, sun na ab sunna hai toh, I spoke diverging him from the doubt and it worked because he nodded.

Ridhi married Aahan because she had a breakup with her boyfriend, later she realised she is pregnant but then calculating months of pregnancy she realised father Aahan nhi tha, Aahan bahut khush tha toh how could she just snatch his happiness away, ek saal baad he gets to know Ridhi ne cheat kiya tha and all that but what breaks him in pieces was that his children weren't his. Tut gaya tha yaar voh, I said and my voice chocked.

Sidharth, I could hear pain in Ashu's voice as well.

I was about to say something further when I heard a knock on the door.

Kon hai, I shouted and I puffed in a smoke looking at the sky from the window.

Sidharth, Nimisha knocked from outside, I could really identify her voice even now.
