Shehnaaz wrapped her arm round his waist and helped him in till his bed. She made him sit and placed two pillows behind his back so that his back doesn't hurt. She then helped him place his legs up and asked whether he was comfortable. She had still not looked at him even once. This thing was troubling Sidharth to the core. He wanted his old Shehnaaz back. Her face was completely pale. It had lost the charm and he was as feeling bad for her. He promised himself that he would get that charm back on her face.

She turned around to leave when he held her hand and stopped her from going. He said in his baby voice, " Moti baby abhi bhi gussa hai? "

She didnot answer. Shehnaaz had a slight smile on her face bit she hid it with a stern look. She had mastered the art of expressions because of sangat ka asar. He again spoke in his baby voice wishing that she would melt this time but little did he know that this was going to be very hard this time.

He said, "Mat Jao. Please mat jao". She very well knew what he was up-to but Papad Toh belne padenge.

"Dimag pe bhi asar pad gaya hai kya? ", she striked back. Shuklaji couldn't even speak a single word. "Jab Dekho Bakwass karta hai. Use karke phek do. Yahi hai Tumlog ka. Bohot achi se pata hai Mujhe ",she said.

Sidharth could not take it anymore. His anger took over. He usually doesnot realise how harsh and bad he speaks when in anger. He didnot have anymore patience. He shouted, " Just get out of here. Tumhare jaise logo ko mai apni life mein nahi rakhta aur na hi rakhna chahta hoon. Just get the fuck out of here. Tum jaise logon ke liye kitna kiya jaaye utna kam hai aur waise bhi tum meri jab Kuch lagti Ho nahi ho toh phir kya tension. Get out".

"Meri jaisi ka Kya Matlab hai Sidharth? Mai Kaisi hoon Tu hi bata de ab! Aisa bhi Kya kiya hai Maine?", said a teary Shehnaaz.

" Tumhare Jaise log matlab Jo log apni e Jindagi Mein kisi ke Nahin ho sakte. Bus Sab ke pass Apne matlab ke liye rehte hain. Jaise ab tumhara Matlab pura hogaya ba? Milgaya ba popularity? An niklo yahan se! ", he shouted.

"Sidharth toh tu yeh sochta hai mere baare mein? Rehn de. Mujhe Kuch Chahiye bhi nahi aur. I don't need your love either. I knew that you never loved me but still my heart always had a hope. It always longed for you. I'm really happy ki the true feelings are finally out. I don't owe you an explanation even for a single we thing especially after whatever you said now. Stay away and I'm going. " , Shehnaaz said not even being able to speak properly as she was continuously crying. Was this the Sidharth she loved? Obviously not. But she won't bear it anymore. Though she spoke this line everytime but always failed to stay away from him.

He, still in anger replied, " Haa Jaldi niklo. Pehle ginti seekh lo dhang se phir aana. "

It was difficult for Shehnaz to listen to even a single word more. She dashed out of the room and banged the door hard. On hearing a loud noise Rita aunty came out of her room. She thought that they must have fought as they normally do but in coming out she saw Shehnaaz running towards the door and crying. She tried calling our her name several times but she didn't listen.

Sidharth was sitting at the edge of his bed , covering his face with his hands. He couldn't understand anything that was happening. He had hurt her again.

" What's new in that Sidharth? ", questioned Rita aunty who was observing him for the past five minutes.

" What do you mean maa? ", asked Sidharth pretending to know nothing.

She said, " How can you toy her feelings? Bola tha maine ki khayal rakhna ki tu uspe na chilaaye? Tune phir wahi kiya Sidharth! Ab puri baat bataa".

Sidharth narrated teh whole incident to her.

"Agar uski jagah koi aur hota na Toh Mujhe abhi tak chhod deti. What if someone does this with any of your sister someday? Tu sehta? Haan? She understands you Sidharth. She knows that tu gusse mein Bohot kuch bol deta hai Par mean nahi karta isliye she comes back to you Par kab tak? Aur Tu Baad mein sirf Ek sorry bol deta hai. Usse sab thik Ho jaata hai kya? " she was so pissed off. Shehnaaz was like her own daughter. How could she see her facing all this?

Sidharth was drowning in guilt. It was showing on his face. Rita aunty looked at him and kept a hand on his shoulder. He hugged her very tight and said, " It's all my fault maa. I'll destroy her. She'll never be happy with me".

She consoled him and said, " Bas bas bas! Kuch nahi Hua. Her happiness lies in you beta. Stop taking her for granted. She has given her everything to make it work. She's already broken. Don't break her more. I understand you too beta. You don't actually mean it but even I cannot be blind to those words you said. I and sorry beta but I don't think she would come back".

Having said this she helped Sidharth lie down and covered him with a quilt. She switched off the lights and then went to her room. Sidharth was thinkimg about Shehnaaz but in no time fell asleep due to the effect of the medicines..
