SidNaaz - Soulmates in the journey of self-discovery?

#13

The next morning Shehnaaz wakes up with a heavy heart and maintains her distance from Sidharth. She is hurt as she feels that Sidharth did not withhold his side of the promise, instead fought with her.

As the task begins, Paras gets over-enthusiastic and starts showering Shehnaaz with attention, occupying her time completely.

Sidharth looking at them busy with each other decides to stay away and just sits in a corner. He does catch Shehnaaz looking at him time and again and share few glances with her only to quickly turn his head away. They are both hurt being away from each other, and no communication accentuates the situation further.

Towards the afternoon, Shehnaaz has had enough of the fakeness surrounding her. She feels heartbroken and goes to the smoking room to hide behind the curtain. Slowly, her tears start trickling down.

Sometime later Himanshi comes to the garden area and finds Sidharth sitting at the edge of the swimming pool. Sidharth feels dejected and is sitting alone at the side of the swimming pool, holding his head in his hand and looking at the ground, unaware of the fact that Shehnaaz is hiding in the smoking room.

Himanshi walks up to him with an intention to manipulate him against Sana.

Himanshi: 'Sidharth ji, aap kisi cheez sey pareshan ho kya? Aapp tension mein lag rahe ho!'

Sidharth looks up at Himanshi and says: 'Nahi to, mein thik hoon.'

'Mujhe clear dikh raha hai ki app subah sey khoye huye ho. Aur, mujhe achche sey pata hai app kyun upset ho. Aapko achcha nahi lag raha hai na ki aapki friend hone key baad bhi Shehnaaz Paras sey chipki hui hai. Arrey, woh to kaal raat ko Paras ke bed par bhi soyi thi.' says Himanshi to instigate Sidharth but Sidharth remains quiet and simply stares at her.

Unable to gauge Sidharth's reaction, Himanshi continues trying to sound as concerned as possible, 'App, please yeh maat sochna ki mein aapko bharkane ki koshish kar rahi hoon. Mujhe aap achche lagte ho aur maine yeh dekha hua hai ki aap Shehnaaz ke saath thora jada attach ho rahe ho, par aap uski masoomiyat par bilkul mat jana. Yeh game hai uski, aap thora sambhal ke rehna. Mein aap ki well wisher hoon isiliye aapko warn karna zaroori tha. I suffered a lot for her in Punjab.'

Shehnaaz hearing their discussion gets shocked and sits quietly in the smoking room holding her breathe.

A sly smile forms on Sidharth's face and he responds with a smirk, 'Areey Himanshi ji, thank you so much. App ney to meri aankhein khol diyi...Mujhe bhi Shehnaaz bohot chant lag rahi hai. I am sure uske karan aapne suffer zaroor kiya hoga.'

Himanshi failing to understand the sarcasm in Sidharth's voice feels smug and replies, 'Aap ney bilkul saahi socha. Woh bilkul bhi achchi nahi hai, woh toh...

Sidharth cuts her short and says, 'Par appko bhi manna parega, aapko itna torture kiya aur aap fir bhi uske piche piche aa gayi idhar...

Himanshi still not understanding the direction this discussion is going quickly responds, 'Nahi Nahi Sidharth ji, mein to aana hi nahi chahti thi par Bigg Boss walo ney pareshaan karke rakh diya. Fir mujhe bhi laga ki mujhe aapni story bhi logo ke samne rakhni chahiye.'

Sidharth replies with sarcasm dripping from his voice, 'Mujhe aap ek choti si cheez bolengi, please? Aap itni baadi star hokar ek newcomer sey haar kaise gaayi? You are a big star, right? App hi sabko bolti fir rahi ho.'

Himanshi gets furious and replies, 'Mein haari nahi usse, usney merepe kichar uchala tha. App uski asliayt nahi jante ho, aap eise mujhe judge nahi kar sakte.'

Sidharth with a sly smile responds, 'Areey mein kaha judgement pass kar raha hoon. App hi aayi mere liye concern dikhaney. Aur ap to itniii badi star hai, aap tak kichar pohoch kaise gaya? Yaa fir, aapke gaane nahi chal rahe the aur apne Shehnaaz ko use kar liya controversy karke publicity lene key liye.'

Looking at Himanshi's appalled expression, Sidharth continues, 'Appko ek freeka advice dey deta hoon, ley lijiye. App mere bhalai key baare mein maat sochiye. Khud ka dekh lijiye. Shehnaaz ko samajh ney key liye mujhe aap sey gyaan nahi chahiye, mein janta hoon mere dost ko, aap sey behtar. Thanks but no thanks!' He folds his hand and holds them up in an attempt to mock her.

Himanshi unable to take this humiliation further, goes into a rant, 'Itna hi jante ho toh, appki friend hai kidhar? Subah sey to chipki hui hai Paras ke saathe. Appse kaam nikal gaya to dusre ko pakar liya? Aur app apni frustration mujh par jhar rahe ho. Pura Punjab janta hai ki woh kitni chalak hai. Uss mein nahi talent hai naki koi etiquette. Upar sey hai characterless....

Splashhhhhhhh.....

Before Himanshi could finish, she goes head-first into the pool and hits the swimming pool floor with a loud splash. She sinks and struggles to come out. After splattering in the water for some time she finally pulls her weight out of the water only to see, in her state of horror, Shehnaaz standing at the edge wit her hands on her waist, fuming.

Himanshi yells, 'You bitch! How dare you? Tune mujhe dhakka kaise mara?'

Sana, 'Chudail!, Tu sukar mana ki tera muh nahi tora maina. Sirf dhakka mara. Punjab mein kuch kasar chodi thi tune, ki yeha aakar bhi aapni gandegi faila rahi hai. Sharam nahi aati saree aam jhooth bolte huye.'

Himanshi now fuming: 'Jhooth bola maine? Kaunsa jhooth? Aura ab tum dekho tumhare saath kya hota hai? Bigg Boss I want this girl out of this house right now!'

Sana, 'Hello Madamji, aap pehle naa khud is pool sey bahar aa jaao nahito aapko sardi lag jayegi..Fir app apni world famous gaana 'I like it' kaise gaogi.' She then exclaims in the air, 'baadi aayi mujhe nikalne wali. Bohot jhel liye aapke jhooth aur nautanki Punjab mein. Yeha pey mujhe poke mat karna. Mooh tor dungi.'

Having slayed Himanshi, she turns to look at Sidharth.

All this while Sidharth was looking at her with a fascinated expression on his face. As soon as Sana looks at her, he exclaims, 'Mujhe bhi dhakka degi kya?' As Sana simply stares at him, he makes an innocent face and says, 'Humne to bathroom mein bandh karne ki plan kiya tha? Tuney to pura paani mein fekh diya! Pehle hi bol deti ki bathroom ka idea pasand nahi aaya tereko.' and break into a roaring laughing holding his stomach.

Sana stands there for few moments and stares at Sidharth's hysterics. Soon, a smile starts forming on her face and she leaves.

It is at times okay to be at the receiving end for people who matter. But, one should never take nonsense from people who do not matter. 

Also, crying for someone you care is not weakness, just stand up for your self when the need arises.

Souls find their way and heal the heart, no matter what.

Can you guess who wins the Swayamvar?
