Ishq Mubarak💫

Chapter-5 *Who Is He?*

Gills', Shehnaaz's bedroom
11:36pm

Shehnaaz was leaning over the balcony railing, gazing at the full moon gleaming in the clear night sky, full of those glittery stars. She was drowned in her thoughts about something or, to be precise, someone! Her eyes had a sparkling shine and her face had a beaming glow.

"Hume toh ab tak yakeen nahin ho raha hai ki jis bande ne humse itni rudely baat ki thi mall mein usne itni aasani se humse maafi maang li! Waise dikhne mein toh kafi hot and happening hai and naam bhi kitna royal hai, Sidharth, bande ki personality pe suit karta hai!"The smile never left her lips while thinking about him.

The sudden knock on the door brought her back from her dreamland. She went inside the room and opened the door. She was surprised to find Manik at her doorstep.

"Main andar aau Jaan?"he asked and ruffled her hair.

"Aaiye na Bhaiyu...aap puch kyu rahe hain!"she made way for him to enter inside the room and gestured him to get seated on the bed while she sat beside him, facing him and looking at him curiously to know what brought him there at that time.

Manik got to know her curiosity by her stare and decided to explain the matter to her patiently.

"Mujhe aapse uss Rohan ke baare mein kuch baat karni thi."he told.

"Kya baat hai Bhaiyu?"she asked anxiously.

"Darasal maine ek personal investigator hire kiya tha uss Rohan ke background ke baare mein jaanne ke liye and he seems to be no such harm as we thought. But still I went to his house and had warned him to stay away from you and he seemed to be frightened and convinced. So, you just have to go and enjoy the party without any tension. I have hired a bodyguard for you just in case he comes there, and also I know that you are capable to manage the rest!"he patted her head affectionately.

"You don't worry Bhaiyu! I will handle him if he comes up with anything, and Kush will also be there with me, so you just relax."she assured him.

Shukla Niwas
7:54am

Sidharth was running on treadmill and was observing Kushal through the mirror wall in front of him, who was busy in typing something on his phone and looked tensed about something.
They were in their personal gym which was in their mansion only, for their daily work out routine of 2-3 hours. Sidharth had noticed him being lost and worried from the day before and hence decided to ask him the reason.

"Kushal!"Sidharth called out to gain his attention.

"Haan Bhai?"Kushal looked up towards him.

"Kya hua, tu kal se pareshan dikh raha hai aur abhi bhi tu work out karne ke samay phone mein ghusa hua hai! Koi problem hai toh bata mujhe, I will try to help you out!"Sidharth inquired, being an ardent elder brother, that he is.

Kushal explained the entire situation to him and told that he was chatting with Manik only at that time.

Sidharth felt an unknown rage pulsing through his veins. His jaws clenched, palms tightened at the sides and nose flared with the thought of that bastard proposing 'her'.

"How can Manik and Shivay let her go to the party?"Sidharth asked.

"Manik Bhai has always been lenient with Naazi and is very soft-hearted for her, thus fulfills her demands and then save her if she gets into some trouble and also from Shivay Bhai's wrath, who unlike Manik Bhai is strict with her, and also overprotective for her and that's why Shivay Bhai is mostly unaware of her mischiefs, and so he doesn't know about this proposal thing also!"Kushal told.
