______________________________________Few days passed after that. Sidharth almost forgot that he told such a big lie to his mother. Actually he was not that much worried about that. His mother lived in Mumbai. There was no chance that she could meet Shehnaaz. So telling that lie was safe according to him. Rita Maa and Shehnaaz both would never get to know about this.
One night, Sidharth was coming from office. Suddenly he stopped when he saw Shehnaaz talking with an Indian guy standing outside the apartment. They both were smiling which didn't go well with Sidharth. He felt something in his heart but shrugged it off. Then he gave a huge smile and went towards them.
"Param, right?" He asked the guy.
The guy made a confused face while Shehnaaz frowned.
"Yaar finally tumse mulakat ho hi gayi. Hi, I'm Sidharth, iss hi apartment mein rehta hoon. Aur tumhari wife ko toh main shaadi ke pehle se jaanta hoon. Bohut suna tha tumhare baare mein, aaj mil bhi liya."
The guy looked at Shehnaaz being confused and asked, "What is he saying?"
"Look I'm really sorry. I think there is some misunderstanding. Sidharth he is not...."
Before Shehnaaz could say, Sidharth said, "Shehnaaz please don't interrupt, tumhari chikchik roj sunta hoon, abhi mujhe sirf Param se baat karni hai.... So Param, main tumse ek baat zaroor puchna chahunga. Tumne 11 saal apni biwi ko jhela kaise yaar? Like woh mere saath hi itna chikchik karti hai, tumhara toh paata nahi itne saalon mein kya haal kiya hoga. I have to say, your patience level is very high....."
"Oh just shut up Sidharth!" Shouted Shehnaaz being annoyed. "Yeh Param nahi hai."
Sidharth looked at the guy being shocked.
"Aur naa hi Shehnaaz meri wife hai. Hum dono toh bas colleagues hai." Said the guy.
Sidharth realised that he misunderstood the situation and said, "Sorry I didn't know..."
"It's ok. I better leave now. Bye Shehnaaz." Said the guy.
"Bye!" Said Shehnaaz somehow controlling herself.
The guy left from there with his car.
Then Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth angrily and said, "Hogaya? Mil gayi shaanti mere colleague ke saamne yeh sab scene create kar ke?"
"Shehnaaz I said sorry. Mujhe sach mein nahi paata tha ki woh ladka Param nahi hai. Agar paata hota toh main yeh sab kyu kehta?" Said Sidharth.
"Jab paata nahi tha toh abhi yeh drama kyu kiya? Maine kaha tha tumse yeh sab karne ke liye?"
"Arrey Baba hogayi galti. Uss ladke se tum itna muskura ke baat kar rahi thi, mujhe laga woh hi hoga tumhara husband."
"Are you serious? Colleague hai woh mera. Drop karne aaya tha mujhe. Ab uske saath muskura ke baat nahi karungi toh kya gusse mein chilla ke baat karungi?"
"I understand but why are you shouting at me? Maine dekha hai Param ko kabhi, nahi na? Upar se tum iss apartment mein akeli rehti ho without your husband. I thought kaam ki wajah se long distance mein rehna padh raha hai tum dono ko. Aaj uss ladke ko dekha toh laga sayad tumhara husband tumse milne aaya hoga....."
Shehnaaz couldn't tolerate anymore and shouted, "Nahi hai mera koi husband! Divorce ho chuka hai humara!"
"So what....." Sidharth suddenly realised what she just said. He looked at her with disbelief. Shehnaaz's eyes became teary.
"Mere husband ke baare mein jaan na tha na tumhe? Mere personal life mein bohut interest hai na tumhara? Toh sun lo phir. Aaj se 9 saal pehle main aur Param alag ho chuke hai. Mere Bete Shaurya ko bhi usne mujhse alag kar diya. Tab se main akeli hi rehti hoon. Mere kaam ke alawa meri life mein aur kuch nahi hai. Do you want more information about my personal life? Then ask me, I'll give you answer."
