They say, "Love is not limited by our relationships but shapes how they flow! Relationships do not define us, but allow us to grow.. "
Just going ahead with another shade of #SidNaaz
"Excuse me could you please guide me the way to grade 5, section green?".. he asks someone on the way..
"Sure, go straight and then take the first left to room 209"
"Thank you.."
He knocks on the door and a support stuff opens it for him..
"Hello.. section green?"
"Yes.. please go inside.."
He walks into the office room of the class teacher and experiences an immediate shock!
"Sidharth?!".. the teacher gets up involuntarily from her chair..!
"Neha?! Now that's a surprise!"
She is struggling to believe her own eyes! It seems they would burst out in tears any time!
"Please sit..".. she tries to manage and act normal..
"So you are Tara's class teacher?! That's amazing!".. he smiles, doesn't know how to act normal here..
"Tara tumhari beti hai?!".. she asks being more surprised..!
"Nehi.. she is my niece..Snigdha ki beti hai.."
"Oh okay!"
There is an awkward silence for a while..
"Sid..It's awkward here..can we step out for a while?".. she suggests..
"Hmm..but before that let me collect the report card atleast..".. he laughs..
"Oh yes! Sure! Give me a second..".. she takes it out from stack and hands over to him..
"How is she doing?"
"Oh! She is bright! Got all good marks..hindi mein, she is a little weak, otherwise rest is all good! Haan lekin bohot naughty hai but now I know why?!".. Neha smiles..
"Kya matlab?!".. Sidharth laughs again..
"Come-on Sid! You clearly know what I meant!"
"Hmm..! Theek hai, I will wait for you outside.."
"Yes just wait for me.. I will assign the other teacher here.."
"Okay..I will rather wait in my car outside.."
****************
"Sana..beta sab tujhe pyaar tou karte hai na udhar?".. asks her mother while putting oil on her hair..
"Haan Mummy! Bohot zyada! Mummy ji tou baas ek angel ki tarah hai! Perfect from every side! Snigdha Di bhi bohot achhi hai aur meri Tara, uff she is a wonder!".. Sana smiles whole heartedly..🥰
"Aur Sidharth?"
An instant smile takes over her face..."Dadi ne kaha tha na, bohot achhe insaan hai, she was absolutely right Mummy! Sidharth k sath main baas 5 din rahi hoon lekin now it feels bohot lamba connection raha hai humara!" 🙌
"Dekh le bola tha na maine! Achhe log hai! Bohot khush rakhenge tujhe! Kitne dramey kiye the tune shadi se pehle! Ab dekh, khud appreciate kar rahi hai!"
"Touchwood!".. she says silently to herself..
*****************
Neha comes into the car and sits beside him..
"Tou finally I got you!".. she initiates with a sarcasm..
He smiles.."Hmm..but I am surprised to see you here! I thought you were settled in Australia.."
Her face falls..
"Kya hua? Is everything alright?".. he asks..
She looks at him subtly..."Sid why did you do that to me?! I had been looking for you everywhere! Why did you leave like that?!"
"Neha, dekh, if I am sitting here, talking to you, facing it like a mature man, then you should realize that I have grown wiser! What I did that time was wrong, I agree! Mera tarika galat tha! But we were a misfit and you can't deny that!"
"But you could have atleast let me know! You just left Sid! Main kya karti?! I was fucking alone in this! The entire circle was disregarding me! I even tried harmimg myself after I got to know that you left for MBA! My parents got me married, I went to Australia, had a baby but couldn't still accept him from heart! He was a good man though.."
"Was..?".. he frowns at her..
"Hmm..he passed away in an accident! I actually told him everything about us a month before! He used to be disturbed all the time! And ekdin while coming back from office..! I guess life had different plans!".. she sighs..
Sidharth feels miserable now!!
"Shit! I am sorry to hear this Neha! I am happy that you moved on! I will pray for his departed soul!"
"Don't misunderstand me Sid! Yes this is true that I have moved on and the reason behind asking you this after all these years is the only fact that I wanted my answers desperately! I hold myself responsible for my husband's death! My daughter didn't deserve this!".. tears start flowing down her eyes..
"Neha..! I don't know what I should say!"
"Nehi yaar! It's not like I am trying to blame it on you! It was my fate! Kya kare?! Just that I loved you so much that I disregarded all other love around me..!"
"Galti kisiki nehi hai! It's just the wrong time and the fate! I tried a lot to make you understand, but you were too much into me! I didn't have the courage to hurt you more! But I was wrong! I accept it! I should have faced it!"
"Chal chhor yeh sab! How is everything else?!"
"Good! Just got married a week back!"
"Now? Quite late huh?!"
"Hmm.. wahi jo hamesha se problem raha hai! I was not getting the right fit!"
"So you finally got the other fit of your puzzle?"
"I believe YES!".. His wide grin answers the rest!... ❤️
