Hey everyone, hope u r doing well, take care❤

Let's begin

NEXT DAY, 9:30 AM,GILL HOUSE

Shehnaaz woke up,went n opened the door, picked the milk packet the milkman leaves every morning and kept it for boiling on the stove on low flame,then went to the washroom n got done with her morning business and came back to the kitchen and made herself a scrumptious French toast and tea. (This was actually her usual morning routine back in Punjab too)

She remembered last night's events n smiled to herself, content with the fact that Sidharth trusted her, she didn't know why she wanted him to not think anything wrong about her,too many why's in her head but she let it slide cuz not every question had an answer she believed, somethings happen just bcuz they are meant to.After having her breakfast, she sat in her living room and watched the TV for some time.

9:45 AM, SHUKLA NIWAS

Sidharth was scrolling through his phone sitting on his bed after a meditation session & breakfast with RA.He was feeling unusually happy today n he knew the reason - Shehnaaz. Thinking about her trust n believe on him made him feel surreal,it surprised him bcuz he wasn't someone who got bothered about what others think about him, but guess Shehnaaz wasn't just some other person for him,he didn't understand as to why he felt so happy with her not believing the fake news(don't worry, ur author here will make them understand the reasons soon😉)

2:30 PM, SHUKLA HOUSE

Sidharth had his lunch and went to the BK centre with RA, they had some celebration there today. He felt at peace there,the teachings motivated him to always stay positive n live life beautifully.It was almost 6:00 in the evening when they returned home. He went to his room to freshen up while RA also went in her room to rest a bit.After freshening up, Sidharth checked his phone n saw Shehnaaz's msg which said sbhwjKduwkao, he got confused, thought maybe she sent it by mistake and let it be.

After sometime,he felt restless thinking that what if she didn't send it by mistake, what ur she wanted to tell something, so he messag her back asking 'kya hua?? 'Almost immediately, Shehnaaz replied,'my song is releasing 3 days laters, tomorrow is the poster launch.'
Sidharth smiled being happy for her n called her but she declined which made him frown, he also saw that the message wasn't how she used to, the tone of the message sounded plain?? He felt.

He decided to go n see her once,so he quickly informed RA n went down to the 9th floor. He rang the bell twice but no response, he then called Shehnaaz who didn't pick his phone, he again rang the bell & this time Shehnaaz opened the door. Sidharth finally breathed in relief but it was soon replaced by a frown seeing her face so pale & eyes swollen. He immediately got in & closed the door,cupped her face ever so softly and asked
Sidharth:Kya hua Shehnaaz
Shehnaaz nodded in a nothing & tried to smile but failed miserably, she giggled to shake the topic off but her eyes we're burning with tears.
Shehnaaz:ku... Kuch nahi... Tum yaha??
Sidharth:Shehnaaz band karo natak(bit loud) kyu ro rhi thi(soft)
Shehnaaz(whisper):I'm scared
Sidharth:kya??
Shehnaaz:I'm scared
Sidharth looked at her confused
Sidharth:scared of whom baba
He made her sit on the couch was now sitting beside her holding her hands in his
Shehnaaz:what if the people hate me, what if they boycott my song,I don't want to face all of it again,I'm tired,all these trolls & haters don't bother me but sometimes its too much, it's as if the whole world is my enemy, what if others on the project have to suffer bcuz of me

She sighed n covered her face with her hands frustrated,Sidharth also got emotional seeing her breakdown,he could relate to it.
Sidharth hugged her n patted her back,comforting her n himself. Slowly Shehnaaz's tears stopped n she felt a lot better,Sidharth seemed to be her peace without even uttering words, his presence comforted her.

Sidharth released the hug sensing she's better now & wanted to talk,Shehnaaz came out of the hug n took a deep breath, wiped her tears which fell without her consent n looked at Sidharth who was looking at her already.
Shehnaaz:I'm sorry, I was overwhelmed
Sidharth:pagal hai kya!!
Shehnaaz:sor....
He glared n she pouted.
Sidharth:u feeling better now??
Shehnaaz smiled faintly n nodded
Shehnaaz:bas kuch purani yaadein
Sidharth sighed n nodded while rubbing her shoulders comfortingly
He wanted to ask what,he wanted her to share her pain with him,he wanted to make her feel better but didn't intrude by asking, he understood it was something very personal n a bad scar of past, something he wasn't sure she'd be comfortable sharing now especially when she's so emotional now. Shehnaaz looked at him in awe, she could see he wanted to know her side,but didn't ask bcuz he didn't want to overwhelm her again, he respected her n cared so much. She smiled at him,he looked at her raising his eyebrows.
Shehnaaz:tu itna acha kyu hai, Sidhaaarth??
Sidharth looked at her confused, she just shrugged it off.
Shehnaaz cleared her throat n started fidgeting with her finger's
Sidharth:kuch bolna hai??
Shehnaaz nodded in a yes but told no, Sidharth gave her a look then she corrected herself saying yes.
Shehnaaz:I want to share why I was so upset today, it was related to the controversy
Sidharth took a deep breath n nodded, asking her to continue n took her hand in his, slightly massaging it in comfort
Shehnaaz:I am an actress as u know, Punjabi mvs aur movie mein roles kiye hai since 5 years,modelling bhi ki hai aur singing bhi,sab thik chal rha tha,log jante the mujhe,zyada famous nahi thi par moderately thi shayad, ek din ek dusri actress ke MV pe meine kuch comment kar diya, kuch ekdum serious nahi, bas normal criticism par shayad uska ego bohot Bada tha aur usne ise apni insult samjhi,wo actress mujhse pehle se kaam kar rhi thi industry mein aur uska naam bhi tha, par usne apne isi naam se mera jeena mushkil kar diya,usne mujhe publically humiliate kiya, live aati thi aur bohot ghatiya ghatiya bola,jab uske retaliation mein meine bola toh usne aur bohot gandgi ki, saare Punjab meri badnaami karva di,aur maze ki baat toh yeh hai ke kisi ne mera side jaanne ki koshish hi nahi ki, bas us ki baat maan li aur mujhpe aarop lagane lage, itna neech comments pass karte hai aaj tak, troll karte hai, dhamki dete hai, sur yeh sab kyu, sirf iss liye ke mujhe ek self entitled actress ka gana pasand nahi aya,industry mein bhi kisi ne mera saath nahi diya, sabne muh fer liya, kaam milna bhi bohot mushkil hogaya kyuki jis producers ko dar tha ke kahi log boycott na karde,sab kuch bikhar gaya tha, duniya khatam ho gayi thi jaise

And she finally broke down, the tears she was holding on,all along while narrating her past were flowing mercilessly through her eyes, Sidharth came out of his trance hearing her cries n realized he was teary eyed too, he felt so so painful just hearing it n this woman had lived through it, he hugged her tightly and pressed a peck on her hair in intervals n caressed her back.

Precap:Sidharth's side of story!! SidNaaz being eo's comfort place.
