Inevitable Part 22

"Tu bina matlab ke pareshan ho rahi hai Sana... kuchh nahi hone wala.. tu pagal hai kya yaar... ek din ka shoot hai bas darling.. kal ye time tak khatam bhi ho chuka hoga.. please ro mat sweetheart.."

He couldn't see her crying like that..

"mujhe ni pata kyu darr lag raha hai mujhe Sidharth.. bas lag raha hai.. "

"ok ok... ab kya kar sakte hai uska bataa? Kis cheej se tera darr nikal jayega? "

She kept looking down shrugging her shoulders..

"Tu 3 din se thik se soyi nahi hai Sana.. aur upar se dimag mein ye sab bakwas leke baithi hai.. isliye tuze aise uneasy feel ho raha hai.. tu thodi der ke liye ye sab dimag se hata aur rest kar, you will feel better .. thik hai? Khana khaya tune ?"

She just looked down without answering anything ..

"do minute ruk mein abhi call back karta hun tuze.. " he disconnected the call and called Shehbaaz in a hurry..

When he picked up, he asked him to go to Shenaaz's room quickly and connected back to Shehnaaz..

When the call connected back he heard the door-bell ring from her room.. She looked at the door confused but did not get up from her place..

"Shehbaaz hai Sana.. Darwaja khol.. " She looked at him pursing her lips but got up to open the door nonetheless..

He heard Shehbaaz walk in and ask Sana if she had been crying .. they both came and settled in front of the phone..

"Shehbaaz isne khana khaya tha aaj?"

"Thoda sa khaya tha.. ye ro kyu rahi hai abhi fir se? kyu jhagdte ho yaar tum log.. aur Sana tu pagal hai? Aise halat kharab karni hai tune apni.. kya kiya ab isne bata fir se? tu bata mein pit ke aau abhi isko? " He bumped her shoulder with his only half joking.. He gave a look to Sidharth which clearly said, if she cries because of you again you will have another thing coming.. .. Shehbaaz was very protective of Shehnaaz and Sidharth knew this very well..

"Mein khud aake pitwa lunga tuzse khudko agar meine galati se bhi jaanbujhkar Sana ko hurt kiya to.. tuze puri permission hai meri tu jo marji kar lena mere saath fir thik hai??" Sidharth replied to his words and also to what he did not say out loud.. ..

Sana gave him a skeptical look hearing this..

"achha tu bhi to rahegi.. Dono bhai behen aake meri band bajaa dena milke ok?? " He spoke looking directly at her trying to get her to smile at least a little.. and that did earn him a little smile.. and he felt relieved for a second..

"Thik hai tu abhi ?? haan? Kuchh nahi hoga yaha darling.. tu please tension mat le.. ok?? aur ab thoda aaram kar le please? " he added looking at Shehbaaz "Shehbaaz tu aaj yahi ruk ja iske paas.."

Shehbaaz just nodded looking at Sidharth and then at Sana.. He couldn't figure out the context of the conversation, but he could clearly see Sana was upset and probably needed some company today..

Sidharth said good night to both of them and disconnected the call promising Sana to call first thing in the morning..

He had been seating in the parking lot of his building for God knows how long. When they had reached the building from shooting, he had asked the driver to park and leave and he continued talking to Sana from the closed car..

Once he disconnected the call he came out of the car and blew the breath from his mouth thinking what had Sana so worried.. This wasn't any insecurity talking today.. This was something else and he couldn't pin-point what had her riled up so much.. That was all that was going through his mind when he reached his flat.. His mom opened the door and immediately noticed his sour mood..

Not wanting to irk him much she let him be in his thoughts for a while telling him to freshen up and come for dinner when he is done..

He came and sat on the dinner table half an hour later still occupied in his thought.. When she had served the meal, she sat next to him rubbing his shoulder , "Kya hua? Kyu pareshan lag raha hai? Sana thik hai? "

He just shrugged his shoulders looking at her wondering how did she know it had something to do with Sana.. She answered his question without even him having to ask it outloud "mera beta kisi baat se itna pareshan nahi hota jitna Sana ke hurt hone se ya uske kuchh kehne se hota hai.. " she said giving him a sad smile.. "kya hua bataa.."

"Pata nahi kya hua aaj usko.. bol rahi thi usko kuchh ajeeb sa darr lag raha hai.. kuchh hone wala hai.. pata nahi kya chalta rahta hai gadhi ke dimaag mein.. khud pareshan hoti hai aur fir mera bhi dimag kharab karke rakhti hai.. "

"Bahot pyar karti hai na tuzse.. isliye darr jati hai chhoti chhoti chij se.. it's quite normal.. meine bola tha tuze.. give her a reason to trust you .. "

"ab sab kuchh to bata diya meine usko mom.. abhi isse jyada kya karu mein?? "

"Bata diya matlab?? " His mom was elated.. "Ye kab hua??"

A small smile creeped on his face despite his sour mood.. "uske jaane se pahle.. " he looked at his mom smiling widely..

She raked her hand through his hair her smile resonating with his.. "that's like a good boy.. But fir abhi kyun pareshan ho gayi fir wo??" she asked confused..

"kyunki gadhi hai wo.. " he replied shaking his head..

When he woke up the next morning, he picked up his phone, he had promised Sana he would call the first thing in the morning..

"Good morning baby.. thik se soyi tu? "

"hmm.." nodding her head pointing to the teddy lying by her side.. He noticed she was wearing his t-shirts she had taken with her too.. He felt a sigh of relief looking at her like that.. and he gave her a bright smile..

"dekh aise raha kar.. kya baccho jaise roti rehti hai har chhoti chhoti baat pe.. gadhi kahi ki.. tu aa idhar wapas fir dikhata hun tuze.. "

"tu hi rulata hai mujhe . sab teri wajah se ho raha hai ye.."

"haan haan.. sab meri hi wajah se hota hai teri life mein.. faad de bill mere naam pe as usual..."

She pouted at him still smiling ..

He was just glad that she was sounding a little normal and not upset anymore and they were back to their regular banter.. She had her second show today and he did not want her to go there upset..

"Kitne baje jana hai tuze show ke liye aaj waise? Ho gayi tayyari?"

"Mein ni kar paungi perform sidharth.. " She looked at him her eyes welling up again..

"kyun nahi kar payegi? tu karegi baby aur bahot achhese karegi.. samjhi tu.. mein Shehbaaz se bol ke live dekhunga.. aur mujhe teri smile dikhni chahiye samjhi? Yaha ka jo bhi hua hai, ya ho raha hai uski tension mujh pe chhod de.. for camera baby.. remember? Meine tuze samjhaya tha us din.. whatever happens here is only for camera.. but jo tere aur mere bich mein hai wo tuze pata hai right? hai na?? to mein karunga tuze dukhi ?? nahi na?? tu bas ek promise kar mujhe aur .. karegi??"

"kya?" she asked him looking curious..

"Ke tu jo kuchh sunegi ya dekhegi insta pe ya interviews me.. uspe react karne se pahle tu mujhse baat karegi uske baare mein.. tu gussa kar.. jitna hona hai gussa kar.. mein manaa nahi karunga.. but agar mein tuzse baat hi nahi kar paya to tuze bata kaise paunga ke kya hua hai? Aur galati bhi ki ho meine.. to sorry mangne ke liye bhi to baat karni padegi right?? aur nahi ki hogi to tere bakwas dimag mein akal daal ne ke liye bhi baat to karni padegi hai na? to karegi mujhe call?? "

She nodded her head making a face at him thinking how he can be so right all the time... most of the time.. she corrected herself , that thought invoking a smile at her face..

"majak nahi kar raha hu Sana.. Agli baar tune ye drama kiya na mein waha aake thappad lagaunga tuze samajh gayi?"

"hayee tu sachhi aayega?? Fir to mein abhi apna mobile switch off kar deti hu.. " she said giving him her patent giggle.. His smile too finally reached his eyes knowing she is fine for now..
