"... YE WAKT H TUMHARA ISS GHAR M AANE KA....... SAARE USOOL BHOOL GAYE HO KYA YAHA SAB......". Baba sahab screamed on both Sidharth and Shehnaaz as they entered the mansion around 11:30 after making sure that Kashaf was comfortable at Shehnaaz's house.
" baba sahab please abhi nhi.... Abhi Na kare aap... Kal subah Baat karenge please.... ". Sidharth replied before Shehnaaz in a tired tone.
"MATLAB KYA H TUMHARA... ABHI NHI KYA.... TAMEEZ NHI H BACHI H KYA KI APNE WALDEIN SE KAISE BAAT KRTE H.....". Baba sahab again screamed.
"APKO KAHA NA BABA SAHAB EK BAAR.... ABHI NA KARE.... AAPKO ALLAH KA VASTA... KABHI TO SAMNE WALE K BAARE M SOCHEIN AAP....". Sidharth reverted back making Shehnaaz hold his hand as he was getting angry.
"Sidharth please.... Kya kar rahe h app". Shehnaaz held him tightly.
"BADTAMEEZI HADD HOGYI H... BAAP SE ZABAAN LADAYEGA YE AB....."
"Mera ghar h.... M jb chahu aa sakta hu.. Jaa sakta hu..." with that Sidharth dragged Shehnaaz with him toward their room.
"dekhta hu kb tk rehta h ye tumhara ghar".

" Sidharth kya hua aapko...". Shehnaaz asked him as he was sitting with his head hung low from past 30 minutes.
"boliye". She walked near him and made him face her, only to find his misty eyes.
"kya hogya meri Jaan.....". She cupped his face with worry.
"maaf kardo mujhe naaz". He whispered while looking looking into her eyes.
" huh..."
"kya"
"kyu". She was completely baffled.
" jab humara nikkah hua tha.. Tbse lekar ab tk kitni baar mene.. Tumse badtameezi ki hogi...". He freed his face from her hand and kept his hand over her cheek.
"Sidharth aap ye sab kyu soch......"
" nhi naaz.... M bhi to tumhare Saath esse kr sakta tha.. Jaise uss Bilal...". Before he could even complete Shehnaaz spoke.
"Galti se bhi nhi Sidharth.. Galti se bhi nhi... Khudko uss Bilal se bilkul bhi compare mt kijiye...". Shehnaaz said hurriedly.
" Aap bhot ache h.... Bhot ache... Hnn kabhi kabhi kutta panti krdete h... Pr aap bhot zyada ache h... Bhot zyada....". She joined her forehead with his while cupping his face.
" kabhi bhi apne aap ko kisi or k jaise nhi samjhna Sidharth... Kisike jaisa nhi.... Hnn sab k andar kuch na kuch kamiya hoti h... Mujhme bhi h... Sabme h... Pr aap un kamiyo ko kaise theek krte h vo matter krta h.... Mene dekha h Sidharth aapko ye karte huye Sidharth...... ". She spoke.
" to apne dimaag ee ye khayal nikaal dijiye ki aap uss Bilal jaise ho.... Samjh aai.... Nhi to m aapko kamre m band krke ammi k Paas jaaungi soone". She said teasing him.
Sidharth smiled at her and kissed her hand which was cupping his face. She was his sunshine. She was the hope in his dark life. She came into his life like a storm full of light to lighten up his dark world.
" kitne khoobsurat lag rahe h aap muskurate huye". She kissed his cheek.
" m khoobsurat nhi hu". He frowned at her words.
"aahaaan.... Bhot khoobsurat ho aap"
"nhi"
"aap chup raho... Aapko nhi pta kuch bhi.....". Saying this she moved away from him and went inside the washroom making him shook his head at his silly yet fierce wife.

"nhi khaala mann nhi h". A monotonous reply came from her.
"Beta esse nhi kr... Thoda sa khaale......". She tried to persuade her again.
"nhi khaaya jaayega khaala"
"apne bache k liye khaale thoda sa". Hearing her finally Kashaf looked up at her as till now she was sitting on the bed with her head down.
"iske liye khau.. Khaala... Iske liye". She said pointing her finger at her belly in frustration and anger.
" kya karu m iske liye khaake..... Iski vajeh se kya kya nhi jhelna Pada h mujhe khaala.... Mera sabkuch to cheen gya h mujhse... Kuch nhi h mere pass kuch bhi nhi....

To kya faayda Iska Iss duniya m aake... ". She started breathing heavily.
Aiman ji immediately put the plate of food aside and hugged Kashaf tightly.
" esse nhi bolte meri Jaan... Esse nhi bolte "Aiman ji rocked her back and forth as she started wailing loudly.
" bsss bssss..... Shaaanttttt" Aiman ji tried to console her.
After few minutes when she stopped crying and her breathing became normal, Aiman ji tore a bite from the plate and made her eat by her own hand and this Kashaf didn't protested.

"ye kya dekh rahi ho". Sidharth asked Shehnaaz lying beside her. Shehnaaz was on her phone from an hour and finally he peeped into her phone.
"kuch nhi... Just laws padh rahi thi thode.... Jinse Bilal ko zyada se zyada saza dila saku". Shehnaaz said.
"Shehnaaz..." Sidharth took a deep breath.
"m dekh lunga ye sab... Tum fikar mt karo...."
"Nhi Sidharth... Iss baar nhi.... Vo ladki meri dost h... Best friend.... Hum Bachpan se Saath rahe h.... Uska dukh humesha se mera raha h or mera dukh uska...

" hmmmm.... Fikr nhi karo..... Pachtayega Bilal apni harqaton k liye". Sidharth said.
"Hmmmmm". Shehnaaz just hummed
