Shehnaaz walked back to her apartment in a daze .The events that had occurred over past few days had been heavy and she had been tired ,truly tired.Life is not linear ,its not a circle either,its more different, more complex ,an amalgamation of linear points arranged in multiple intersection loop form, but a loop nevertheless. Every action that is done ,every thought that is manifested takes form in all possible forms, setting courses of the future.,And if time indeed is non linear than the future does affect the past,like a never ending loop ,intersecting at points that cause chaos.Its funny how ,movies sell the point of ideal lives and ideal one dimension stories with mono layer identities .in reality however ,entropy does increase just in accordance to the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy.
"Mom I am going to work...and ha just don't take.stress,I am alright ...almost fine,but don't worry we will be good",Sidahrth said as he had gotten ready to go out for the day .He had a meeting or two lined up ,plus he had really needed to break away from shackles holding up.his throat.Shehnaaz had behaved in a way that was a lot contrary to his idea of her.To him she was this sweet loving and always giving person ,who could not hurt anyone. Given the fact ,Shehnaaz had been on the receiving end of being a woman at times, Sidharth had failed to understand her reaction against Rumi
Though she had accused him of defending Rumi ,but in reality ,there was not a moment he had defended Rumi.It was his idea of Shehnaaz that he had tried to protect and defend.But alas!How had that turned out to be?.As a person who had been brought up with 3 strong women ,who had equally seen society being cruel to them; Sidharth could not navigate through the concept of using something as malicious as Shehnaaz had used.The problem was not just that ; the fact that Rumi had been pregnant and then undergone an abortion wasn't something as simple as being slut shamed.It was going to have unforseen consequences for Rumi ,Sidahrth knew.Also the fact ,that Shehnaaz had contacts higher up the establishment, and the fact that she had ruthlessly used all of it to her discretion .The biggest of all things that had Sidharth gripped, was the fact that Shehnaaz had though acted on an impulse,she had not been ill informed about what she had done.Instead she had a fully conscious grip over her brain as she had navigated the waters , making sure to strike Rumi hard once for all.The fact was that Shehnaaz knew the consequences this could bring out for Rumi ,if not that Shehnaaz had wanted those consequences .And this made it serious, she had been cold blooded when she had threatened Rumi and now when she had executed it ,she had been cruel,in absolute words.Shehnaaz belonged to a well placed family on the social scale, nevertheless they were not famous celebrities but the society she belonged to was exactly the way Shehnaaz had behaved; being all nice and sweet unless the tables turn against them ,then what they bring froth is deadly combination of power ,politics ,money and intellect. The fact that Shehnaaz had used this elixir to get back to Rumi ,someone who was though a celebrity, but could never fight the waves of concrete that Shehnaaz had sent for her,made Sidharth question his understanding of human intellect. How could the Shehnaaz he had known be the same Shehnaaz, who had read Rumi all way up only to strike at a place where it would hit the hardest.
"You fine? ...Jitna toh tune kal daaru piya tha na...i thought bhayankar Hang over hoe ga!",Abish told her as she reached the hospital.
"Abhi tu na chalu ho jaiyo!",she quickly spoke with annoyance laced up her tone.
"You have been feeling dizzy for last few days, nausea bhi teko...and the way you have been acting ....so fucking hormonal...are you sure you are not pregnant ?",Bose teased her up as he walked into her room ,while Abush joined in too
"Seriously...is se zada sahi tujhe abhi kuch ni mila bolne ko?",she was annoyed at the sheer absurdity of their thought.
"See...hormonal...like i said.",He teased her further.
