DREAMY TALES

Sumaan || TS : Bigg Boss ||

Saturday, 8:00 AM, Bigg Boss House

Sumbul snuggled deeper into her soft pillow, which suddenly felt oddly stiff. She fluttered her eyes open, only to find a handsome face resting near her head. It was Fahmaan, sleeping and holding her close. Encircling her arms around him, she nestled her head into the crook of his neck and adjusted herself in his arms. She drifted back to sleep, momentarily confused whether this warmth was reality or a sweet dream.

Beep beep beep beep—

The alarm echoed throughout the house, disturbing everyone’s sleep. Priyanka and Ankit woke up, while Archana was already in the bathroom. Ankit’s eyes fell on Sumbul, who was still asleep, cuddling like a baby against Fahmaan. He nudged Priyanka, and she looked at them with a soft "aww." She regretted not having her phone to capture the endearing scene.

Fahmaan opened his eyes, feeling Sumbul snuggle closer. Her warm breath brushed against his neck, causing a slight shiver. Despite this, he felt a profound warmth in his chest. Holding her brought him peace he hadn’t realized he missed during the 16 weeks apart.

A wide smile spread across his face as he watched her sleep, knowing she hadn’t been at ease due to the constant stress and drama in the house. He was aware of how certain people, fixated on trivial matters like his "250 gram chicken," troubled her. But now, with him there, he vowed to protect her.

The previous night, upon entering the room, Fahmaan had noticed the three double beds. Priyanka and Ankit shared one bed, while Sumbul had another to herself after Manya’s elimination.

Archana also had a bed to herself. Not wanting to share a bed with a stranger, Archana had politely declined Fahmaan’s request. Without hesitation, he jumped onto Sumbul's bed and laid down, snatching her blanket. The others had laughed, and Sumbul had shaken her head, chuckling at his antics.

Now, Priyanka approached them, concerned etched on her face. "Fahmaan, you should wake Sumbul up. If she doesn’t get up soon, Bigg Boss might give her a punishment. I hate to wake her because she’s finally sleeping peacefully after so long, poor girl" she said softly.

Fahmaan nodded, carefully disentangling Sumbul from his embrace. "Firstly, Priyanka, thank you so much for taking care of Sumsum. And Ankit, thanks to you too, bro," he said sincerely.

He continued, "And secondly, she’s not 'bechari.' She’s just too innocent for this house. I’ve seen how Tina, Shalin, and others try to take advantage of her. But don’t worry, now I’m here for her, and thirdly..."

" Ehh teesri baat udhar hii rhen do na akadbhage "

Sumbul stirred, blinking her eyes open to find herself face-to-face with Fahmaan. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized he was indeed there. She hugged him tightly, unable to contain her emotions.

Fahmaan smiled, ruffling her hair affectionately, remembering the good old days, when she used to call him that."Come on, cheetah, let's go to the living area before Bigg Boss gives us a punishment," he said gently.

Sumbul nodded, and together with Priyanka and Ankit, they headed to the living area.

After the Bigg Boss anthem, Sumbul and Fahmaan greeted everyone. Shalin approached and hugged Sumbul, winking at Fahmaan. A wave of protectiveness surged through Fahmaan. He gently clasped Sumbul's palm in his hand, and she responded by giving Fahmaan a quick side hug, leaving Shalin looking puzzled.

Priyanka and Ankit giggled at the scene, soon joined by Gautam. Priyanka, always curious, dragged Gautam aside, eager to learn more about Fahmaan and Sumbul’s bond, knowing that Gautam, having worked in the same industry, would have insights.
