Shehnaaz slowly open her eyes and found herself in Sidharth's room. She woke up a jerk.
"Sidharth" she shout her name.
Sidharth come inside and saw her scared expressions.
"Shehnaaz kya hua are you okay?" He cupped her face and asked.
She look at him with tears and hug him tightly "tum theek ho na?"
"Haa Shehnaaz main theek hu" he caressed her hairs.
"To wo blast?" She asked getting scared for his parents.
"Cooker blast ho gaya tha jiski wajhe se kitchen me aag lag gai thi thank fully sahi time par hum bahar aa gaye the and by god grace cylinder tak aag nahi pohochi thi usse pehle maine bujha di thi".
She closed her eyes in relief and rest her head on his shoulder "i.... thought" she gulped down thinking about what if they didn't leave the house on time or the cylinder caught fire.
"Shhh it's okay relax"
"I thought i lost you" she sob in his arms.
"Shant ho ja meri jaan dekho kuch nahi hua tumhe pata hai main kitna dar gaya tha tumhe wese dekh kar"
"I'm sorry meri wajhe se ye sab problem hui" she said and a tear escape her eye.
He kissed her forehead "tumhari wajhe se kuch nahi hua Shehnaaz and it's alright sab theek hai, acha chalo utho aur muh dho kesi rotulu billi lag rahi ho" he chuckle.
She punch his chest and went to the bathroom, she open the tab and splash water on her face only she know why she get unconscious that time, she look at her reflection and again saw her hands full of blood, she tried to rid to it but it didn't work.
"Shehnaaz" she hear Sidharth voice and look at herself, her hands are having marks of her nails, she gulped down and wash her face, she get the flashbacks again.
"Are you okay?" He asked her when she come out.
She nodded and smile faintly, he didn't asked much after that.
"Chalo niche mom dad wait kar rahe hai wo bhi bohot pareshan the" he hold her hand but before he could notice her marks she jerk his hand.
"Chalo" she said sternly and left from there.
"Isko kya hua?" He look at her in confusion.
They both headed downstairs and meet his parents.
"Beta main to dar hi gai thi tere liye" Rita maa said and hug her.
"Main theek hu maa" she smile.
"Bhabhi yaar aapne to jaan hi nikal di thi" Alia said and pout sadly.
"Sorry tum meri wajhe se pareshan ho gai us time mujhe strongly sab handle krna chahiye tha aur main hi" her voice crack in between.
"Chalo bhai jo hona tha ho gaya ab uspar baar baar baat mat karo, kal Alia ke sasural wale aa rahe hai uski taiyaari karte hai" Ashok ji said, Alia blush while looking down. Shehnaaz smile genuinely looking at her.
"Acha hai is bandariya se picha chutega" Sidharth said to tease her, she complaint to her father and Ashok ji scold him, while Sidharth complaint his mother, and she scold her husband.
Shehnaaz smile looking at his family, she found a perfect family in them, she sneakily click a picture of them when Sidharth hug his mother, and Alia was hugging her father. She look at them with teary eyes.
"Bhabhi aap udhar kya kar rahe ho apne pati se bolo mujhe pareshan kar rahe hai"
"Ab main tum dono bhai behen ke bich kya bolu" she said hesitantly.
