Chapter 2💔

Chapter 2

We can see a room filled with darkness. A man was sitting on the floor holding something in his hands.

It was Sidharth who was holding Shehnaaz's picture, caressing it with his hands. For the first time, Nawab Sidharth Ahmed Khan had tears in his eyes.

" Tumne aisa kyu kiya Shehnaaz?? Kyu?? Agar tumhare maan mein kuch nahi tha toh tum phle hi mna kar deti. Ess tara meri feeling ka majak kyu udaya Shehnaaz, akhir kyun?? Kya tumhe meri aankhon mein apne liye pyar nahi dekhta?? Main Nawab Sidharth Ahmed Khan hu….Nawab….. jiske paas sab kuch hai par sab hokar bhi kuch nahi hai.  Kehte hai jiske pas uska pyaar nahi hota woh duniya mein sabse garib hota hai aur aaj mujhse garib koi nahi hai…… but it's okay...mein jee lunga tumko khush dekh kar…..tumhari khushi mein hi meri khushi hai…..bas tum khush raho chahiye mere saath ya mujhe dur...kya farak padta hai…", Sidharth said, chuckling sadly.

We can feel his pain in his red eyes.

On the other side, we can see Shehnaaz sitting inside her room surrounded by her parents.

" Aaj aapne hame bahut disappoint kiya hai Shehnaaz. Hume aap se ye umeed nahi thi. Aaj sabke samne aapke wajah se hum sab ko sharminda hona pada, especially Sidharth ko.", Shehnaaz's father said with disappointment.

" Yeh sab kya tha Shehnaaz?", Shehnaaz's mother asked her angrily.

"  Mein Sidharth… Bhaijaan se nikah nahi karna chahati thi. Isliye maine iss nikah se mana kar diya", Shehnaaz said with expressionless face.

" Hum yeh Nikkah jabardasti toh nahi karwa rahe the. Humne pucha tha na tumse iss rishte ko aage badhane se pehle aur tumne ha bhi kaha tha. Phir kyu?", Shehnaaz's father asked angrily.

" Mujhe Sidharth bhaijaan pasand nahi hai.Phle maine pressure mein aakar hain krde thi but mere maan mein unke liye aasi koi feeling nahi hai. Woh mujhse bahut bade hai aur bahut alag bhi. Hum dono mein koi match nahi hai", Shehnaaz said, without hesitation.

" Shehnaaz", Shehnaaz's father shouted.

" Kyu jhoot bol rahi ho Shehnaaz ... .akhir kyun?", Shehnaaz's mother asked.

"Mein jhoot nahi bol rahi hu", Shehnaaz said, panicking.

" Meri kasam khao aur kahi ki tum Sidharth se pyaar nahi karti", Shehnaaz mother said, placing Shehnaaz's hand on her head.

" Bolo Shehnaaz…..Batao mujhe kya tum Sidharth se pyaar nahi karti,kya tum uske saath aapni puri zindagi nahi bitana chahti….bolo Shehnaaz….", Shehnaaz's mother asked her in an aggressive tone.

Shehnaaz was shocked to hear her mother.  She removed her hand from her mother's head, sobbing slightly.

" Shehnaaz tum sabse jhoot bol sakti ho but mujhse nahi. Ammi hu main tumhare ... .mujhe sab pata hai, kaise tum bachpan se Sidharth se paglo ki tarah pyaar karti ho…. meine tumhari diary padhi hai Shehnaaz, jisme tum ne Sidharth ke liye apni feeling ke bare mein sab likha  hai'' Shehnaaz's mother said, making Shehnaaz and Shehnaaz's father shocked.

" Ammi", Shehnaaz whispered softly.

" Shehnaaz beta jo bhi hai hume bta do. Hum sab theek kr denge. Please beta, humse share karo apni problem", Shehnaaz's mother said, holding her hand.

" Ammi", Shehnaaz said and hugged her mother, crying bitterly.

Shehnaaz's father comes close to her and caresses her head softly.

" Shh…. Meri jaan bas…..chup ho jao aur batao mujhe kya huya hai.", Shehnaaz's mother said.

" Beta jo bhi ho tumhare Ammi, Abbu tumhare saath hai…. please tell us…", Shehnaaz's father said.
