London, UK

" Ab ap khush hai? " Sidharth asked forwarding a paper towel to her for wiping her hand with it.
She nodded wiping her hand and mouth which had some strawberry tart in corner.

It was night 1:00 am and they were at tower hill for dinner. Shehnaaz was feeling low that's why Sidharth brought her out with Faraz and hayat for a casual night out and dinner.

"Dekha fazool mein gussa kiye ja rahi thi tum. " Hayat said rolling her eyes at Shehnaaz while sipping her lemon soda drink. Shehnaaz was so angry and shouted on her earlier without any reason.

Shehnaaz glared her angrily. Then turned to Sidharth.

"Mein fazool mein gussa karti hu? " she looked at him with questioning eyes and he immediately nodded negatively.

"Nahi jaan koi fazool ka gussa nahi karti ho tum. Ab jaldi se apni Ice-cream finish karo hume grocery shopping ke liye bhi jana hai. "Sidharth said kissing on top of her head making everyone shocked because Sidharth never goes for grocery shopping nor he cooks. He always order takeaway.

" kiya? Kiya bola isne Shehnaaz?. "Faraz asked dramatically stretching his ear to shehnaaz to hear it from her what he just said.

"Grocery shopping. " Shehnaaz said with a frowned look and scrunched up nose in disbelief.

"Grocery shopping se kiya hoga tera? Restaurant ka khane ke alawa tu kuch khata bhi hai, tujhe kuch banana ata bhi hai? " Faraz said sarcastically making Sidharth glare him with fire in his eyes. The girls didn't dear to laugh as Sidharth is a person who can get angry at anytime, anywhere. He doesn't care to give it a look that what others thinking about him. All he cared is his closest people.

"We are getting late. Let's go. " saying Sidharth pulled her with him to their car leaving Faraz and Hayat along. Shehnaaz followed him obediently without any second question.

"Where are we setting off ? " Shehnaaz asked looking at him with confused look as he parked the car at parking lot near tower bridge.

"Roze ke liye grocery shopping nahi karni apko? " he asked looking at her with lifted eyebrow and she instantly nodded positively.

"Par itni rat ko supermarket band hogi na" she stated logically. Despite being a busy city, London's supermarkets closes in 5pm. And some late night shopping express continue their service till 10 pm hardly . But it's past 1 am. It's impossible to find any shop open now.

"Don't worry I called the shopkeeper informing about our arrival. They will keep it open for us. " Sidharth assured her patting her back of palm which was resting on her thigh.

"And why would they obey you? " she looked at him releasing her hand from his hold and wrapping hand around her chest with lifted  eyebrow.

"Because they are my known. " he pinched the apple of her cheek making her frown.

"Assalam walikum. " Sidharth greeted the shopkeepers and whoever was there in the store as he walked inside Haat Bazar holding Shehnaaz's hand in his hand.

"Walikum salam Bhaijaan. Bohot din bad milna hua. " A man who looked like shopkeeper  approached them and forwarded his hands to Sidharth for handshake which Sidharth gladly did.

"Lunch time King's mei hi gujar jata hai. Isiliye aksar is taraf ana nahi hota. " Sidharth replied shortly rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Khair rat bohot ho rahi hai sehri se pehle tumhe khana bhi bana na par sakta hai Sidharth. Itni rat ko koi bhi restaurant khula nahi hai tumhare liye. " another person who was arranging things in shelf joked obviously knowing Sidharth's food preference and bad habit of restaurant food.

"Le lo jo lena hai mujhe kuch nahi chahiye bas chicken and beaf lelunga. " Sidharth whispered to shehnaaz who instantly nodded checking items one by one.

"Bhabi hai  ? " Man standing beside Sidharth asked with surety because it’s midnight and Sidharth isn’t a person who takes random girl to grocery shopping.

"Huh?" asked Sidharth being confuse as he was staring Shehnaaz and didn’t hear him properly.

"Pucha ki girlfriend hai tera? " this time that man asked teasingly poking Sidharth's arm with his elbow.

"Ha matlab wase hi. " Sidharth fumbled looking around as he never talked about relationships before. However,  he never did relationships as he was so busy in playing with thesis and medicines.

"Samajh gaya samajh gaya. "He nodded patting Sidharth's back.

"Aaa Anas fresh beaf and chicken pack karde. " Sidharth said pulling out his phone to check time. Everyone around him looked at him in shock. He never cooks that's why he only buys fruits and bakery items every time he comes. 

"Tu live in kar raha hai? " that man whisper yelled at Sidharth and looked at him in disbelief who glared him for saying that.

"Azhar. " Sidharth said in a warning tone making that person walked away murmuring tauba under his breath.

"Azhar bhai cut karte hai. Wo rat ko cut karke rakhte hai aur wahi mein din bhar bechta hu. " Anas said chuckling as he brought knife to Azhar who was wearing that chef's cloth. He is a chef in nearby restaurant and his younger brother Anas runs this supermarket.
Sidharth known them from the time he is here in UK.

"Normal cut ya fir koi particular dish ke liye?" Azhar asked looking at Shehnaaz who didn't heard him as she was busy picking up spices.

"Normal cut. " Sidharth said still shooting daggers at him.

"Mere liye bhi 4 baby chicken pack kar dijiye. " Shehnaaz said to azhar who was at counter taking out meat to cut.  Azhar smiled at her and took a breath of relief knowing that they aren’t in any Haram relationship.

"Apke smile bohot sweet hai bilkul apki tarha. " Azhar tried to flirt with her but shr didn’t care much to watch it as she simply nodded at whatever he said.

"Wase ap rehte kaha ho? " Sidharth looked at him dangerously as he had tolerated much of his flirting till now. But it got in his nerve as azhar asked Shehnaaz about her address.

"Meri ghar ke samne wale ghar mei. "  before Shehnaaz could open her mouth Sidharth answered behalf of her.
Azhar looked at Sidharth and nodded his head vigorously.

Then,  did his work without any word. He knew that  triggering Sidharth knowingly is shit. He packed their items in different bags then handed them.

" apse milke bohot acha laga bhabi. " Anas said taking card from her. Shehnaaz was shocked  as he  referred her as bhabi. She looked at Sidharth who seemed unaffected that's why she smiled at Anas nodding positively.

Sidharth was talking with them that's why Shehnaaz stood beside him hearing their talks.

"Agar humse koi galti ho gaya ho to maaf kardijiyega bhabi. Aur fir kabhi kabhi akela bhi a sakti hai ap . Ase khadus,  ghamdi, jiddi insan ke sath shopping nahi ho sakti. " Azhar said making Shehnaaz smile and Sidharth glared him dangerously.
