Aayat - A Journey Of Sohbat

13.

" Aayat you need something " Shehnaaz asked Aayat, she saw her standing on the door of her room

" Nhi " She spoke turning back.

c'mon Aayat, She is your Mother, you can do this! Aayat motivated herself but she felt she just didn't know how to express herself , not in front of Shehnaaz atleast.

She was her mother , and there was no doubt that she was an excellent mother but Aayat just didn't knew how to express her at times.
It was Easy for her to express herself in front of Sidharth, maybe because He never acted as a father for her but Shehnaaz she was different

" Myra " Sidharth spoke looking at her and then at Shehnaaz.

" Kya hua isse " He asked when she went from there and Shehnaaz looked on.

" Pata hi nhi kya ho jaata hai iss Ladki ko Sidharth, one moment she behaves as if she misses me so much and then the next it's as if she hates me " Shehnaaz sighed.

With Aayat it has always been difficult for Shehnaaz to deal with, Kiyaan has always been vocal with what he wanted and hence easier to understand, Aayat on the contrary never expressed her desires.
Not even once before she said she wanted to stay in hostel

" Shehnaaz don't you think you are over thinking , Bachi hai yaar voh " Sidharth spoke.

" I might sound Rude Sidharth but tere liye toh Aditi bhi aaj tak bachi hai, we are there for her today, God Forbid kal nhi hue toh? Tab kiske sar par bachi bankar rahegi, isn't it better she learns and start behaving as adult for once in her life " Shehnaaz spoke, she just couldn't explain this to him ever, His Love for Aayat was beyond measures.

She knew he can never forget the fear his heart had the day she was born, That Beautiful yet Scary Day of their Lives, The day those words rolled out of his mouth she was wanting to hear in those 4 years of their marriage

And maybe that was the reason Aayat was his life.
He loved her more than he ever loved anyone and it was visible! Isn't it?

" I love you Shehnaaz " He spoke instead and she looked at him, it wasn't everyday you hear Dr. Singhal expressing himself, he was worst in expressing his feelings even after years.
Yet she felt loved Always! Maybe he was right, Expressing has ways, he might not be vocal but he did everything to make her feel loved.

" And why did you think you said this all of a sudden " She asked raising her brows.

" You have got perfect English Baby" Sidharth spoke smiling and she let a small smile at that.

" You remember the House , I... " He sighed

" You have got a different connection with that house Sidharth, Pehle mere mana karne ke baad voh ghar khareedna spending almost half of the savings we had and now you are getting it renovated" Shehnaaz sighed

" I... Before Aayat's admission I was planing to shift there Shehnaaz, all of us... In a single house " He spoke and she looked at him, encouraging him to continue.

" I am getting old Sweetheart, Operations ke long hours, my body cannot take it like old times, there are times I really need a break, and I guess I have decided to retire back then " He spoke

" Ab nhi? " She asked

" Myra! Lifelines main akela nhi chod sakta na, Once I know she has got habitual to the environment there and maybe she needs me a little less uss din" Sidharth spoke and Shehnaaz knew he was emotional
