    Shehnaaz body went cold as soon as he asked her that question, she wasn't expecting it nor she ever wants to. She was scared

"N-nahi!" She shook her head immediately answering him with shuttering voice. Sidharth's lips curved in smirk at her very obvious reaction now he's damn sure it was her

"Nahi?" He has hint of playfulness in his voice as he leaned further into her. She shook her head innocently

"Too bad. Us din ek aurat se mila tha mein black colour ka burqa phena hua tha she bumped into me making my files fall down wo aur hum dono neeche jhuke files uthane ke liye and that's when we had eye-contact" He went on telling her about his pov of other night which was just making her poor heart beat faster, nervousness and fear was building inside her

   He paused for seconds and made eye-contact with her. Smile still playing on his lips because of her reaction

"Hume yeh maana parega unki ek nazar pe dil gawa baithe hum us din"

      Her heart skip a beat at his confession and now things were making somewhere sense to her. Him staring at her other day in burqa and holding her hand after that him being obsessed with one girl whom he hasn't even seen or met and finding her everywhere, so all this time he was looking for her? And telling her that he actually loves her

"Shehnaaz" He called bringing her out of thought. His hand went into her silk hair and brush them out of her face and this only made her blush

    The way he was looking at her with eyes filled of love and softness for her, she knows that he knows it was her other. He dragged his hand down from her hair to bare neck, his slightest cold touch send shiver through her body. His gaze never left hers when he leaned down to press his lips against her forehead gently. Was she dreaming or he was really behaving like some normal husband with her

"Humse bhut galiya hui hai is duran lekin hain toh hum bhi insaan he na maaf krden" His eyes pleads her to forgive him

"Hu-" she open her mouth to say something but was cut off by servant calling them for breakfast where everyone else was waiting

    Shehnaaz looked back at him and shove his hand away from her, somehow this was enough for Sidharth to know how hard he was to work until she forgives him and not to forget Cold War between him and his father in law. He sighed mentally preparing himself for this all before following her inside dinning room

     Shehnaaz greeted everyone and took seat beside bi-jaan passing her small smile, Sidharth also came in and did his greeting before taking seat beside his wife, there was noway he's leaving any chance to not sit or be close with her. Shehnaaz felt this oddly different this man who always wants to sit somewhere away from her was now sitting beside her leaving all empty seats. She glanced at him only to find him staring, blood again rush through her cheeks and she looked away immediately making him smile

    Bi-jaan was watching couple with amusement. They surely were behaving differently today the way Shehnaaz is keep on blushing and Sidharth looking at her, she was sure something has spark between them. They were having their breakfast with some random conversation which sometimes Zain would start or bi-jaan. Sidharth mentally rolled eyes at certain old man who was giving him cold glares from across table

Sidharth decided to totally ignored this man and leaned towards ear of his wife who was currently busy stuffing herself

"How long are you planing to say here?" He asked, he really missed her presence in their room

"Week or two" She answer honestly whatever she was thinking, she didn't bother looking at him while answering

"Na karen Shehnaaz" He groan. Two weeks without her will be hell for him, he has developed habit of her always being there

"Apko itna farq kyun par raha hai wese bhi ap raat ko late ho when I'm already sleeping" She whisper back at him with irritation

"Haan t-"

"Sidharth ghar mein sab kese hain?" Bi jaan asked gaining their attention. Sidharth cleared his throat and looked at her

"Theek hai sab" He answered her before looking at his wife who intentionally started conversation with Aryaan to avoid talking with him

It was 4 pm and Shehnaaz has literally done everything to avoid Sidharth today. She has offered to help in kitchen for lunch to keep herself busy and she knows he never enter place where there are alot of woman also she was getting irritated that why hasn't he left yet. Now she has no excuse left so she was currently walking towards her room to hide from him but to her luck he was already there with annoyed expressions as she entered her room. She tried to make run

"Sochna bhi mat" He already warned her and was fast enough to reach her and closed door behind before she leaves

"Ap abhi tak gaye nahi?" She asked him with nervousness. He fold arm across his chest before closing huge gap between them and stood just inches apart

She was taken aback by his bold move and kept her head down or else he will definitely spot blush around her cheeks

"Itni jaldi kyun hai humare jane ki apko?" He asked. She looked at him for just few seconds and really couldn't handle his intense gaze which was very new for her and it was making her nervous

"Wo...umm..." She tried to think of excuse

"Wo kya? Huh?" He was getting annoyed

"Apko pata hai abhi ke jis aurat ki mein baat krta tha aur dhundta tha wo ap he thi Shehnaaz and I haven't been any kind of dishonest with you kabhi dhoke mein nahi rakha not expected anything from you Haan humari yeh galti hai ke I have hurt you and was disloyal as husband but that also I didn't technically or physically cheat on you even in drunken state as if I remember correctly" He spoke out of frustration desperately, she just stared at him

"My love for you wasn't any kind of lust for beauty or anything I never saw you just your eyes what I have for you is very much pure and sincere" He grabbed her hand in his own

"Agar hum wo same burqe wali larki na hote?" She questioned with calmness
