It was sidharth standing there in his night suit. He yawned and pushed confused Sana lightly to enter her room.

"Shehnaaz, darwaza lock krdo achhe se." He said and again yawned. He laid down on her bed.

"Sidharth!" She whisper yelled. "Tum yahan pe is time pe kya kar rahe ho?"

He wanted to laugh at her startled face but maintaining his serious expressions, he replied, "Is time pe sirf main hi yahan, tumhare room mein ho sakta hun, baby. Now come here and let's sleep."

Her expressions softened after seeing his open arms. She snuggled into his arms and kept her head on his chest. He closed his eyes and she covered them with quilt. "Sidharth..."

He opened his eyes and hummed in response. "I'm sorry..."

"Kis liye meri jaan"

"Wo jo bhi Akriti ne subah kiya na isliye..."

He shook his head in denial. "Shehnaaz, main uske dance ke liye upset nhi tha. I just realised that I am not that important in your life and it did hurt me." He sighed and she sat in front of him.

"Sidharth, aisa nhi hai..." She held his hand in hers. "Aap bhi important ho. Main Akriti se kehne lagi thi, par usne gana chala diya aur aap naraz ho kar chale gye...but I know aap hurt hue. And I'm sorry for that." She clutched her ears asking for forgiveness.

And he also sat resting his back on the bedrest. He kissed her cheeks one by one leaning in. "Shehnaaz, mera baby, you're so cute."

She kissed his forehead and rested her face in the crook of his neck. "Aur yeh jo aap se tum par ayi aur tum se aap pe ayi. Iska kya chakkar hai?"

He was combing her hair with his fingers. "Aise hi. Gusse mein thi na." She mumbled.

"Achha ji! Gussa thi matlab? Kal ko gussa hoke gali bhi dogi?" He asked her in teasing tone which she couldn't decipher and sat straight facing him. "Nhi nhi. Main apko gali nhi dungi. Wo to bas aap Tara se baat kar rahe the jabki mujhe ignore kar rahe the, to mujhe gussa a gya..."

"Chalo koi nhi. Ab chhodo us topic ko. Mujhe bahut neend a rahi hai." She was pushed and laid straight on the bed and he laid his arms and legs around her body pushing her body into the mattress.

"Sidharth, mujhe daba rhe ho aap." Shehnaaz breathed out with difficulty.

"Aadat ho jayegi meri jaan. Mujhe to aise hi sona hai. Thoda adjust kro." She looked at his closed eyes. He was pretending to sleep and she was staring at his face. "Sidharth..." He hummed in reply. "Aap yahan a gye. Agar aapko kisi ne dekh liya to? Aur aap ghar mein kaise aye is time?"

"Baby, tum zyada mat socho. So jao." He patted on her head. "Arey, nhi na... mere se baat kro... mujhe nhi sona hai." 

"Shehnaaz, meri jaan, subah baat karenge. Abhi let's sleep." 

"Nhi mujhe baat krni hai. Abhi krni hai aur agar aap nhi kroge to main Akku ke paas chali jati hun. Wo to kregi mere se baat..." She tried to escape from his arms while he tightened his hold on her. "Bolo... kya baat krni hai?" He sighed desperate to stop her. She grinned. "To batao, aap is time ghar kaise aye?" 

He sighed. "Main ab se tumhare ghar hi rehne wala hun." She frowned. "Arre kyun?" 

"Kyun tumhe achha nhi laga? Chala jata hun main..." This time Shehnaaz clutched his arm. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. Don't  get angry, baby." She kissed his bicep and looked at him with puppy eyes. "Rajiv ki shadi tak main yahin guest room mein rehne wala hun." He replied making her nod her head in understanding.
