Finally, the day of Nikah was here. Though Sidharth never expressed but he was extremely excited, today she was going to be HIS NAAZ. He was lying on his bed all ready in his cream sherwani; fidgeting his fingers and shaking his leg in nervousness. Reesha entered his room and a smile formed on her lips seeing his anxious son 'Kya hua beta, itna kyu pareshan hai? Dulhan Naaz hi hai 😉'. 'Kuch nahi Ammi, bas sab sahi se ho jaye. Koi stress nahi hai.' he replied assuring himself more than her'. 'Chalo Nikah ka time ho raha hai'.
They reached the venue which was a big palace decorated with red flowers. It was going to be a big fat Nawabi wedding as dreamt by Shehnaaz. Sidharth ensured that all her dreams and wishes for the wedding were fulfilled.

Shenaaz and Sidharth were sitting opposite to each other separated by a white flower curtain. They both were twinning in their cream colored attire; he was wearing a cream sherwani while she wore a chickankari lehnga with mirror work; she had a net veil covering her face. Sidharth frowned unable to see his Dulhan's face but that was soon changed into smile when he saw her smile from under the veil.
'Shehnaaz Ahmad, binte Sohaib Ahmad kya aapko Sidharth Khan wald Salim Khan se haq mehr 10,000,000 ke saath nikah Qabool hai?' Maulvi asked her. 'Qabool hai' she answered 3 times.
'Sidharth Khan wald Salim Khan kya aapko Shehnaaz Ahmad, binte Sohaib Ahmad se haq mehr 10,000,000 ke saath nikah Qabool hai?' Maulvi asked him. 'Qabool hai' he too replied 3 times.
'Mubarak ho' resonated the area bringing smiles to bride and groom and their families. He looked at her removing the flower curtain. He could sense her blush under the veil; he slowly lifted her veil and saw her angelic face. She was looking down unable to meet his eyes; he held her chip and pulled her face towards him. 'Nikah Mubarak ho begum' he said kissing her forehead. She smiled shyly 'Aapko bhi'.

Two months later
Last few months were a bliss for Khan family. They could have never found a better spouse for Sidharth and a better daughter-in-law for house than Shehnaaz. She was a beauty at heart.
It was a monday morning, Sidharth lazily ran his hand over the bed to find his wife, unable to find her he opened his eyes with a frown. Last 2 months, he has woken up to the same beautiful view, her wife's cute sleeping face. It was then he heard the click of washroom door open, she was standing there in a simple peach suit with wet hair. He extended his arms gesturing her to come near him. She smiled looking at her cute husband and walked towards him; he pulled her to bed and spooned her. 'Sidharthhhh, hospital nahi jaana hai kya??' she asked wiggling out of his grip. He held her tightly and nuzzled in crook of her neck 'Just 5 mins baby, waise bhi raat mein tumne bahut thakka diya mujhe'. Shehnaaz blushed recalling their last night's adventure. 'Aacha humne to jaane de'. 'NO, aur itna hilo mat' he said pulling her towards him.
'Good Morning, bacho' Reesha said seeing them coming towards dining. 'Good morning, Ammi. Baaki log kahan hai?' Sidharth asked while sitting for breakfast. 'Sab aaj hospital jaldi chalein gaye. Sajia thodi pareshan dikh rahi thi, Tum dono bhi nashta karke jao. Usko kuch zarrorat naa ho' Reesha told worried.
Sidharth and Shehnaaz saw crowd standing in front of Hospital gate; there were people standing with banners and a lot of media. The crowd was restricting the entry to the hospital. Sidharth and Shehnaaz looked at each other with confusion; things were fine till Saturday. 'Yeh sab kya hai Sidharth??' Shehnaaz had an unsettling feel. 'Don't know' replied Sidharth who was equally confused.
They got down from the car and were immediately surrounded by reporters.
'Sidharth Khan has reached the hospital; lets talk to him and see his reaction on this matter. SIR..SIR..SIR...What is your take on this illegal organ transplant complaint' a media personal inquired. SIDNAAZ were shocked hearing the accusation; Sidharth immediately composed himself not allowing anyone to see his ignorant reaction. 'I am sorry, I cant respond now' he replied. 'Sir, what about the dead boy's family? aapki uske family se baat hui'; 'Kya ye organ donation bina permission ka tha?'; 'What actions are you taking against the doctor?'. There were hundreds of questions being asked to them. He declined all the questions and tried moving ahead inside the hospital.
They managed to reach inside hospital; he immediately moved towards his cabin; followed by her. He opened the news and was shocked to see the headlines:
The biggest hospital chain in North India accused for illegal organ transplantation
A 25 year old boy, Sumit Srivastav, was admitted to SK hospital in Lucknow after an accident. Unfortunately, the boy took his last breath in the hospital after 2 days of the accident. The family has now filed a complaint against the hospital for negligence of duty and forcefully making them sign documents for organ donation. The boys father talked to our reporter where he was quoted saying 'Hum to SK Hospital gaye the ye soch kar ki bada hospital hai, free mein treatment karta hai gareeb ki. Humne kya pata tha humne itni badi keemat chukani padegi. Hum haath pair jodte rahe par doctor usko dekhte hi nahi the, humara bacha bina ilaaz ke bed pe pada pada dum tod diya. Inn haiwano ne uske shareer ke hisse bhi nikal liye bina humse pooche. Humne to tab pata chala jab humne body di gayi'. His mother was not in a condition to talk. The hospital is receiving sever backlash from public after this news has surfaced........The report read.
Both Sidharth and Shehnaaz were shocked to see this. 'Why was I not told about it yesterday??' he fumed with anger. He called his PA 'Arrange for a meeting with everyone involved in this case NOWWW'. Shehnaaz saw his livid eyes; she knew he had to calm down to think sensibly. 'Sidharth' she cupped his face in her little palms and made him look at her. 'Aap shant ho jao; pehle suno hua kya hai? Shayad kissi ki sazish ho hospital ko badnam karne ki. Aur agar sach much galti hui hai tab galti theek karne ka sochna padega. but dono hi surat mein aise gussa karke kuch nahi hoga'. She pulled him in for a hug and he let her. Even in that anger, he knew only she can calm him; he felt peace when her lips touched his heart. 'Baby, tum jao. Mujhe dekhne do kya karna hai.' He said after calming down a little. She pressed his hands 'Bulana agar jarrorat hogi' she smiled assuring him and moved out of his cabin when heard a knock on door.

On the other side; there were two people who were smiling looking at the News. Suleiman turned off the television and faced towards his son 'Beta, pehla padav pura hua. Ab kuch din mein Salim khan aur uska pura khandan tabah ho jayega. Uske bete ne galat logo se dushmani le li' he smirked. His son too joined him with evil laugh.
