The Hate

" MOMO'S"

SHEHNAAZ

I picked the saree up draping it over me checking myself out in the mirror, I had selected a simple white saree with silver stone handwork over it . I wasn't looking for something too heavy or shinny my mom and rita aunty suggested me to wear some lehenga while preeti and neetu said saare would be better as it is bit different type of an outfit to wear for an engagement. I'm not much of a saree woman but I always had a vision of a " Desi girl " , look for my dream wedding and I ended up choosing a saree where as for sidharth I chose something which compliment the color which I was wearing and I did the justice by picking black. He hasn't seen it yet because I have it with me, I would be sending him the outfit on thursday he did ask me which color would we wear for the engagement I didn't answer and asked the others to keep it as a secret too.

I quickly changed and kept the saree back in, I wore simple green crop top and blue denim , I tied the shoe laces and took my bag rushing to my car as I was getting late for work and sidharth has already called me five time in an six minutes .  I drove towards the set as he was already there as he had an early call time, I walked in and everyone were looking some of them smiled , while some of them gave me a questioning glace " What the hell happened here and why are people looking at me like I have killed there dogs, I love dogs people  " I saw sidharth giving his shot lost in his scene , taking a seat next to his chair I took my phone out scrolling.

And let me tell you, I shouldn't had gotten my phone out because " I was all over the internet " , Instagram, twitter, Facebook, YouTube you name the social media I'm on it.  I opened one of the article which said " Breaking news actor sidharth shukla, the famous 25year old actor set to tie a not to his long time lover  assistant of five years  and 25 year old shehnaaz kaur gill daughter of billionaire rajeev gill " , long time  lover  ?? When did we even love each other mumbai times??,I scrolled through the Instagram where my followers have reached 2 million, what ?? I had just 500k.who were my friends and some random sketchy people, I clicked on one of the post in which I have been tagged God!!! It's me this morning when I was picking up momos from  a momo shop, the caption said " Soon to be bride shehnaaz kaur gill found buying momos in bandra " , " Bhai mein sirf momos khaana gayi  thi, naki ambani ka ghar choori kar na " .

Internet is filled with crap like come on , I can't even eat a thirty rupee momo on the street. I shook my head looking at some other article and posts. " What have I gotten myself into god!! ". Sidharth gave his shot and sat next to me , I passed him a bottle of orange juice taking out the hand fan as he was sweating, and passed him some tissue . He got his face near indicating me to wipe his face, I rolled my eyes wipping his sweaty face.

" Disgusting!! "

I said throwing the paper in the bin, he just sat there smirking at me he passed me the bottle and asked me to hold it for him, when I said him that he could hold it by himself he said his hands were full, like come on he wasn't even holding anything. I sat there holding his juice bottle and the handfan facing his face.

" Did you check you're Instagram?? "

" Hmm, I just got 2 million follower's. Sidharthhhhhh I'm not liking this, I can't have my momos in peace  too. "

I said whining holding the bottle he chuckled at my reaction " This asshole is having absolut fun with whatever is happening " . I nudged my elbow to his ribs he hissed holding his rib.

" What??"

" This isn't funny ok?? They can't be capturing my every move suppose if they  click picture of us eating shawarma at 2 am, I don't want people to watch me eating it's so embarrassing "

Well this is our thing, when ever sidharth isn't sleepy which is a bit rare I take him out to eat shawarma which is exactly at 2 am where me and him devour over shawarma like lion who devour his prey, and I don't want my shawarma eating pictures being published on front page where the sauce is dripping down my lips and have lettuce all over my chin and chicken on my pants, why am I being so specific you ask!! Because sidharth has taken my picture and has been blackmailing me from past five years and I want it to  be a deep hidden secret.

" People will just get to know I'm not marrying a women but a hyena "

" You're such a pig I say "

" Don't worry I have spoken to kirna and hamada about this , hamada said you would be carrying security around you from tomorrow "

" I don't want anyone guiding me , I'm not a dog "

" You can't be a cute creature like a dog you are hyena , my hyena wife "

I look away feeling frustrated he can't be calling me hyena, I'm not a hyena I'm a humming bird.

" Call me humming bird!! "

" What!!! Humming bird you?? "

" Please I would rather call you a crow than a humming bird . "

" Sidharthhhhhh!!! "

" Shehnaazzzzzzzz"

I cross my hands under my chest pinching my nose as I feel enraged , kirna walks in smiling at us. I felt hand on my thighs , I turned around to find sidharth looking at me smiling he squeezed my thigh indicting to act. Well if you are thinking how I know his every action, because I have known him all my life this isn't something new for me, I place my hand on his as I felt a bit conscious and awkward that I and sidharth are this close of touching eachother it's not like we haven't held hands or hugged each other which was like fourteen years ago but this. It felt different.

" Hey guys!! Sorry for disturbing you but the crew has planned something special for you guys "

" For us?? "

Sidharth and I spoke at the same time, kiran smiled gesturing us to follow him, I walked behind kiran following him sidharth stood right behind me keeping his hand on the small of my back guiding me. " Aren't we suppose to win Oscar for pulling this!! We can't even stand to be next to each other now we are holding on to each other " We walked in to a small room where a table was kept with a fucking cake over it which said " Congratulations for you're engagement " . I and sidharth just looked each other shocked.
