I know its been long. Time
...do tell what you like in the way their equation is unfolding






To be where Shehnaaz and Sidharth were , was a tough spot.They were getting into  a thing that was not conventional, and they were getting into it real deep.The kind of emotions they felt for each other were like the warm spring waters , they were soothing but sitting on a volcano.In their case the Volcano was the society and the roles they had to play in it. Shehnaaz,  a mourning widow ,was not meant to entertain a male from another religion ,Sidharth on the other hand ,was not to to get entangled with a widow , 11 yrs younger .

They had spent the night holding hands while sleeping,  they drew strength from each other.

Shehnaaz woke up early morning ,she had to leave for her clinic and therefore woke up to her alarm .Sidharth's morning face was the most beautiful thing she had seen .Normally,  he wouod have woken up early but today he was late .She quietly tip toed to washroom ,took a quick bath .

Shehnaaz, with her head covered in a light blue dupatta ,the brightest of color Sidharth had seen her wearing, sat on floor in her hall, holding a small book like thing thing ,parying .She was simple, an extremely plain person Sidharth had met ,and she was breathtakingly beautiful. What made her even more beautiful was serenity on her face,as if designed in the early hours of morning. Sidharth kept looking at her ,standing by the door ,smiling.

"Good morning ", she smiled ,as she was done with her prayers.

"Sidharth without speaking a word ,walked upto her,  held her face, kissing her forehead.He was overwhelmed by what he had felt on seeing her like that.He was too amazed to speak a word.All his life he had hoped ,a person as earthy as Shehnaaz,  and now  she was there in full flesh and blood ,completely real.Shehnaaz felt her heart flutter, literally flutter.She felt it had wings, a blush and smile crept onto her face.

Preparing themselves both breakfast, she also packed herself tiffin for the day.

"Chal darling late kar rahi h ", Sidharth said while dragged her out  .He was getting late and he had a long day ahead .

As had become a ritual he drpped her off to her hospital,,"nikalte hue call karna....agr free hua...toh i will pick u up!",she said waving her a good bye.

Reaching the studio ,he began with his work.
"Sid , 11:30 , shownewzz wale aa rahe h interview k liye...make sure u are done with the shot by then!",said his director

"Sid ", that's what his friends from industry called him .It wasn't his name at home, his mom would call him montu and his sisters too.This was different, they were ppl from industry and they would call cool ,trendy names;,but Sidharth never belonged ti the name "sid".To him the real him was "Sidharth "or "montu"

The shot was done in a professional manner , akin to Sidharth, crisp.The interview people were to interview him ,as part of publicity for the new show.

"Is the women's favorite Sidahrth Shukla , dating someone?", the questions is almost necessary to be asked , such was the line of their work.

"I would love to ",he answered

"What kind of a woman do you want?"

"I want an imperfect girl who would live me perfectly!'', he answered

"You and Shikha singh share a past ,how did you get past your bitterness to make this work? , or are we actually going to see #SidKa reinstated ?"

Sidharth was well prepared for this question ,he knew it would come up.

"Shikha is a very professional actor and I  am too...and to me work is most importantly....i can act with anyone....its my profession and my personal equations don't play a part in it.", he answered polity.
