Sanaa- beth jaa idhar ek baar

Sana called to sit down on the couch to catch his breath because he was fuming. Sid without any argument sat down and put his hand on his forehead grunting.

Sana- shhhh...sab thik hai...sab thik hai... ye le paani pi

Sid- please sana. Please. Mujhe smoking room jaane de please

Sana- yehi chiz ke wajah se adat ho jaati hai...meri baat sun... idhar dekh

She slightly touched his hands and caught his attention towards her and she signalled to take deep breaths with her. After 3 deep breathes she took her palms to close his eyes and then very soothingly made his head fall on her shoulder as she tapped the sides of his forehead and started humming Om and miraculously Sid who was so dangerously angry, would have hit a wall if he could, now was in peace and so relaxed that he took his hands out from his hoodie's pockets and wrapped around Sana and buried his head in her chest.

Sid- I am tired Sana. Really tired.

Sana- mm hmm I know. Khana khayega aaja. Mera puttuu

Sana then took Sid to the dining room and made him eat. He felt a throbbing headache approaching and he was seeing spots. He told the same to Shehnaaz.

Sana- aja soja tu bahut thak gaya hai aaj. Saalon ne bahut thakaya hai aaj tereko. 

She then made him sleep by massaging his head with her fingers, when he suddenly jerked up putting his hand on his mouth. Shehnaaz was worried and was rubbing his back furiously. Sid ran to the bathroom to throw up. He was emptying all the contents he had in dinner. Sana continuously rubbed his back and gave him water once he thought he was done throwing up everything he had eaten. He fell in her embrace who was holding him from the back.

Sana- bas bas hogaya...hogaya bed m jaayega?

Sid- mmm... mera sarr bahut bhari lag raha

Sana- ek side pain kar raha hai kya? Migraine hai kya? Si

Sid- hmm and it's like someone is-

He couldn't complete his sentence as he felt sicker. After getting sick multiple times he was about to pass out when Shehnaaz splashed water to his face and carried him inside the bedroom with great difficulty. He fell on the bed with a thud and he closed his eyes feeling blackout. Shehnaaz ran toward the kitchen, bringing the migraine cure she knew and the oil she had.

She quickly came and made Sid drink the cure and started applying the oil to his forehead, feet and palms. After 2-3 hours of continuously massaging him, he was in a sound sleep with a tinge of relief on his face.

Sana (in her mind) - "Babaji meri jaan nikal gayi thi...please mere kullu ko thik rakhna...uske saare bure karm mere hojaye aur mere jitte ache karm hai uske hojaye. Mein iske bina nahi reh sakti"

She kept on caressing his head and his hair. It was almost morning when Shehnaaz went to wash her hands, so she thought of making Sid some good food for the morning breakfast because high-iron foods helped migraines. She thought of working out today, so she thought she would make him breakfast first. She then went to the bathroom, got ready and took her yoga mat out

Sana- haye mene kabse nahi ki hai, kahin mujhe strain na aa jaye...mujhe avi sidharth ki bhi take care karni hai. Par dimaag ko shaant karaane ke liye ye karna hai.

She did 15 Surya-namaskars, a plank for 30 or more minutes. She then ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes shutting all her worries and thoughts. She was breathing heavily while running when she heard the morning song and she groaned about the fact that now everyone will wake up. She had zero energy to socialize and she was enjoying her "me-time" a little too much. She didn't stop and even raised the speed of the treadmill as the song," Nagada Nagada Baja" played, which made her feel more energetic. Everyone came out dancing but she closed her eyes and completely forgot she was on that treadmill and she ran, breathlessly without thinking about what anyone was saying.

Sid woke up and saw Vikash passing from there. He came inside the captain's room asking...

Vikash- tabyat kaisi hai ab?

Sid- han? Ya better man...my migraines have always been the worst

Vikash- I can totally understand...by the way Khushi is full-on wife material...she took really good care of you (he called Shehnaaz Khushi from the time he entered the house).

Sid- han? Did I do anything?

Vikash- tumhe yaad nahi? You were blacking out aur ye door v band tha toh we couldn't come in...we matlab mein aur asim because baaki sab were in deep sleep. She didn't leave your side at all and also, she carried you out of the washroom all by herself and then was massaging you to make you fall asleep the whole night I guess.

Sid- oh, yeah man I slept like a baby after that. She made something to drink that really helped.

Vikash- I will ask her about it...mereko v hai migraines. Same ditto mera hota hai...also look at your bedside table and yes, enjoy

Saying this he left from there and Sid saw a drink beside his bed to drink and he gulped it down then saw his pre-workout sipper ready to drink, next he saw a bowl covered with a plate. He went to brush his teeth and then ate breakfast in bed without getting out as he used to do when he was at home. He always craved ghee-waale parathas after his dreadful migraine nights. He was surprised to find it in BB house. He thought he was watching a dream. Like a little kid, he ate his breakfast on the bed with a huge smile on his face. His heart was full of love and admiration for Shehnaaz.

Sid(in mind)- Sana kahan gayi? Aayi nahi ek baar bhi? Aur wo itte subha uthke ye sab kuch kese kar li? Wait a minute wo kal raat soyi toh hai na?? itna raat tak toh mere haath per dabaa rahi thi...wo soi kab??...usne parathe v banaye mere liye, pre-workout v rakha hua hai? What the hell is happening?

Sid finished eating and came out feeling fresh as his migraine was magically gone but he remembered the past night's events and thought that it wasn't magic it was his Moti his sweetheart, who cured him and took care of him. He was shocked at the sight when he came and watched Sana in the workout area.

Sid- woah! Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, kyaa baat hai!!

Getting no response from her he got close to face her. She had her eyes closed and her face was flushed red and she was all sweaty and breathing hard

Sid (in mind)- kabse kar rahi hai workout ye? Itni tired aur pale dikh rahi hai.

Sana then came back from her thoughts, slowed down the speed and looked up at Sid standing there waiting for her to get off the treadmill.

Sana (still on the treadmill)- kaisa hai tabyat ab teri

She was completely out of breath when Sid went and completely shut the machine.

She clutched her stomach and sat down on the ground trying to catch her breath. Sid brushed her wet hair from her face and watched her with so much love. He doesn't have words for what he is feeling right now. He wanted to kiss and own her for life, but

Sid- paani piyegi darling?
