"Shehnaaz, Sidharth tumdono ghar Jaao... Kaafi raat hogyi h, hum h yaha" Aiman ji said.
"ammi... Kaisi baatein kr rhi h aap...." Shehnaaz exclaimed.
"hum kahi nhi Jaa rahe h... Jab tk Unko hosh nhi Aa Jaata hum nhi jaayenge kahi bhi" Sidharth said in his usual stern voice, it was like an end of discussion now.
"Shehnaaz ammi theek bol rhi h... Tumhe Jaana chahiye.... Vaise bhi tumhare ghar pr or bhi bhot log h jinko sambhalna h tumhe...." Ibrahim said, hinting about baba sahab.
"yaha hospital m jo h na.. Vo Shehnaaz k abbu h... Unko zyada zarurat h abhi Shehnaaz ki... Baaki cheezein uska shauhar dekh lega tumhe fikr krne ki zaroorat nahi h" before Shehnaaz could say anything Sidharth spoke making her look at him in wonders.
"tumse nhi bol rha hu m.... Apni behn se Baat kar rahu m... Mujhe pata h usko kya kya jhelna padta h... Rozal ki haalat dekhi h mene... Or vo to tumhari apni thi.... Shehnaaz to fir bhi tumhare dushmano ki beti h... To uske Saath to kya kuch nhi krte honge tum......" "Ibrahim rebuked looking at Sidharth angrily making Aiman ji gasp.
" apni zabaan sambhaal kr Baat kr samjh aai...... ". Sidharth shouted.
" Sidharth please... Hospital h.... Aap shaant rahe please "Shehnaaz held his elbow tightly holding him against herself as he was about to move toward Ibrahim probably to punch him.
" dekhlo.... Ammi subah bol rhi thi na ki shayad ye aadmi alag h... Shyd ye apne walidien se behtar hoga..... Pr dekh liya... Iss aadmi ko kya hi pta h Shehnaaz k baare m ya uski khushi k baare m..... Vo books bhi saanu n mangaai hongi lad k tab hi laya hoga ye... Vrna apne Baap se bina puche mujhe nhi lagta ye kuch krta bhi hoga.... Saala Baap ka chamcha". Ibrahim scoffed.
"bss Ibrahim.... Bss....." Shehnaaz shouted.
"bhulo mat kaha kade ho tum.... Or ye kis lehze m Baat kr rahe ho tum ammi bhi h yaha.... Or rahi Baat Sidharth vo kaise mahol m pale bade h ye tumhe bhi pta h.... Agar vo itne hi bure hote to vo abhi raat k 10 bje yaha nhi hote... Subah se kuch na kuch nhi kr rahe hote.. Ammi k liye... Mere liye... Abbu k liye.. Hum sab k liye... Or unse nikkah ko mujhe Sirf or Sirf 2 hafte huye h... Hnn nhi jaante vo mujhe... Bilkul bhi nhi jaante h.... Humare beech m bhot kuch bura bhi hua h..... Pr vo koshish kr rahe h apni taraf se..... Or tum tum to mere Saath 19 saalo se ho na.... Fir bhi tum mujhe nhi pehchaan paaye... Dhokha or Dard to tumne or tumhari biwi n bhi diya h mujhe..... Dard to abbu n bhi diya h mujhe...... Galat to sab n hi kiya h mere Saath... "before Sidharth could say anything Shehnaaz came infront of him looked at ibrahim in his eyes and spoke. Sidharth looked at her being completely amused, all he could remember at this moment was how many times he had hurt her and here she was standing infront of him being his shield and defending him in front of her brother.
" mene dhokha..... "Ibrahim whispered.
" Shehnaaz ye kya bol rhi ho tum Humne ki sa dhokha diya h tumhe" "Rozal exclaimed.
" Ibrahim... Tumne bhi to mujhse apne or Rozal k baare m chupaya... Teri to best friend thi na m fir bhi chupaya tune..... Mene har ek cheez batai tujhe.. Pr tujhe bharosa hi nhi tha mujh pr... Or Rozal tum to meri bhot achi dost thi na.... Tum bhi mujhse sab kuch share krti thi starting se hi... Fir ye kyu nhi btaya...... Agar tumne mujhe btaya hota to aaj cheezein alag hoti.... Sab kuch differently hota... Tumlogo ko alag koi nhi krta..... M thi uske liye.. M dekh leti pr agar mujhe pta hota to sab kuch khushi khushi hota... Sidharth bhi samajhte tumhari khushi Rozal pr Tumlogo n na lada or na hi mujhpr bharosa rakha...... Tumlogo ko lagta h tumne bhot acha kaam kiya h... Hnn kiya h... Bhot acha hi kiya h... Agar tumlog Saath m fight krke ye step uthate to samjh bhi aata pr tumne to Jaane do....... Or hnn.... Ab please mere shauhar se Mt uljo.... Apni ulji huyi zindagi sambhalo Pehle " Shehnaaz shouted in a low voice, Ibrahim cowered back hearing his sister, never in his widest dreams he thought that his sister would say something like that to him.. That too infront of a stranger. He just looked at her silently.
" Shehnaaz ye.... "Rozal spoke but Aiman ji's words stopped her in between.
" BSSS..... bhot hogya h... Chup.. Bilkul chup.... Sharam karo sab... Kaha ho tumlog... Jaanwaro waali harqat h sabki.... Situation to dekho kya h.... Besharmo ki tarah cheekh rahe h" Aiman ji shouted making all of them quiet and look down.
"aap Beth jaaye araam se.... Koi kuch nhi kahega ab" Sidharth held Aiman ji from her shoulder and made her sit again.
"badtameez h sab" she scoffed.
"Hmmm.... Ammi sorry" Shehnaaz whispered.
"sorry ammi"
"ammi sorry" both Rozal and Ibrahim apologized.
"Awaaz na jaaye kisi ki bhi ab... Thappad padega varna " Aiman ji warned them . Sidharth smiled looking at his wife who was looking down with her face crunched up.
Suddenly his phone rang gaining everyone's attention, he took his phone out and looked at the caller's I'd only to find his beloved baba sahab was calling him.
"ek min" he excused himself and moved toward the corner.
"ji baba sahab"
"Sidharth ghar aao" he ordered him.
"baba sahab m nhi Aa sakta hu... Yaha pr theek nhi h abhi kuch bhi". Sidharth tried to explain.
"mujhe kaam h Sidharth ghar aao abhi.... Abhi mtlb abhi" Baba sahab screamed from the other side.
"baba sahab maaf kare pr... yaha meri zarurat h...aap Raheem ko bol de usko sab kuch pta h vo dekh lega sab" Sidharth said.
"tum mujhe..... apne Baap ko... Unlogo ki vajeh se inkar kr rahe ho... Bhulo Mt kon h vo log..." baba sahab was losing his calm.
"baba sahab meri biwi ko meri zarurat h..... M nhi Aa sakta hu please samjhe aap" Sidharth too was losing his calm why couldn't he just stay with his wife and support her.
"bhot galat kr rahe ho Sidharth... Pachtaaoge... Bhot Pachtaaoge" with that he cut the call.
In frustration Sidharth was about to punch the wall in front of him when he felt her hold on his hand making him stop.
"ye kya kr rahe h aap" she gasped and then checked his hand.
"idhar dekhe.. Essa daraawna sa muh banake kya saabit krna chahte h aap..... Or ye kya behuda harqat h" she screamed looking at him who was looking at her.
"baba sahab ka call tha" he spoke after a min of standing in absolute silence and pulled her infront of him.
"Hmmm" she hummed tugging at his sleeves.
"ghar bula rahe the" listening to him she immediately looked at him again from his sleeves. He came a little closer to her and she was caged now.
"ooohhhh... Jaaiye fir aap gussa karenge vrna vo" she whispered completely bothered by the closeness.
"nhi Jaana" with that he buried his face into her neck and his hand were each side of her on the wall.
"pr... Vo" she tried to speak but he bit her on her nape making her hiss.
"Sidharth.... Kya kr rahe h... Koi dekhega... Aap...." she almost moaned.
"Biwi ho tum meri" with that he hugged her making her smile, she hugged him back. The changes in Sidharth were amusing and she was loving these changes.
