Inevitable Part 33

"Shehnaaz... ??" He threw his phone on the table near the vanity door and leaped out of the door taking two stairs at a time to get to her... he held her shoulders, touched her hands, touched her face, hair everything as if to try and see if she vanishes..

"Tu kya kar rahi hai yaha??" He looked at her wide-eyed thinking he has surely gone crazy..

She giggled, tears spilling down her face and hugged him hard almost jumping on him making him stumble back.. he held her close still not sure what was happening with him.. But as soon as he felt her kiss all over his face he knew she was here.. she was actually in his arms.. He was so conflicted, he wanted to hold her close and at the same time he wanted to look at her face too.. He held her face in both his hands and made her look at him..

"Tu.. " He was not able to even conjure a full sentence he was so dazzled...

She just smiled at him still crying and kissed his palm that was resting against her face, their eyes not leaving each others.. taking a shuddering breath he pulled her close and gave her a lingering kiss on the forehead his eyes closing at the familiar feel... when he looked back at her, she could see the unshed tears in his eyes.. she caressed his face trying to remember the feel.. he did the same caressing her face moving some stray hairs from her face so that he could see her face properly after what felt like ages..

"Baby tu yaha kaise aayi?? Kab? Ye sab kya hai.." He spoke when he was finally able to form a coherent sentence..

"Tune hi to bola tha tuze mujhe hug karne ka man kar raha hai.. to mein aa gayi.. " she looked up at him trying to guage his reaction though she could already feel his joy in his arms that had not left her sine he laid eyes on her..

He just shook his head and hugged her back again hiding his face in the crook of her neck.. breathing in her familiar scent, he could finally feel his heart whole again..

She was not any different.. In his arms she felt complete like she never ever belonged anywhere else... his familiar smell gave her the sense of relief nothing in the world could give.. his strong hold on her made her scared heart settle down again.. she kept pressing kisses to his neck trying to memories the feel all over again.. she had missed being near him.. she had missed this feel.. she had missed her home..

He looked back at her gently pushing her hairs back from her forehead and a brilliant wide smile spread on his face.. he gave her a quick peck and held her hand pulling her inside the vanity..

As soon as they entered, he locked the door shut and fell on the nearest sofa pulling her on his lap..

"Baby tu kaise aai.. humne abhi to baat ki thi thodi der pehle ti tu itni jaldi yaha kaise pohonch gayi.. mujhe yakin hi nahi ho raha.. aur tere shows?? Contract baby.." he looked at her worried the logical Shukla reared his head again.. Though at this point he could have convinced himself also probably for breaking the contract if that means he gets to keep his girl with him..

She adjusted on his lap comfortably both her legs dangling on the side and rested her head on his chest her forehead touching his neck..

"Koi contract chhod ke ni aayi hun Sidharth. Tuzse promise kiya tha na? abhi Sunday ko hai next show.. parso chali jaungi wapas.. koi show miss ni hoga.. " she placed another kiss on his neck resting his head back on his chest..

She had travelled thousands of kilometers overnight just to meet him for day..

"Tu pagal hai puri tuze pata hai na?? " He smiled at his silly girl feeling overwhelmed with her love for him ..

"wo to mein hun.. " she said tilting up her head from where it rested on his chest.. his hand moved to cup her cheek..

"Tu akele aayi? Tuze darr nahi laga? "

She shook her head locking her gaze with his..

"Tuzse dur rehne ka dard jyada tha kisi bhi aur darr se.. "

She said her face contorting in pain remembering all these past few days she spent without him .. all the fights, misunderstandings, tears, heart breaks.. all came flooding to her and she just wrapped her hands around his neck hiding her face in him pulling him impossibly closer..

He felt her pain clench his heart and he held her.. he held her doing everything he couldn't do all these days through the phone calls.. all the tears he couldn't wipe on the video calls, all the hugs he couldn't give her on the video calls .. all the insecurities he couldn't rub off of her in the video calls.. he did all that holding her close now...

Clutching her close as she sobbed in his arms, her hands clasping the collar of his t-shirt tightly in her hands, he rubbed gentle circles on her back... murmuring soothing words in her ears trying to calm her down..

"shh... shh.. bas, bas meri jaan.. bas kar sweetheart.. ab aa gayi na tu mere pass.. ab sab thik ho gaya na.. haan.. dekh idhar dekh.. " he tried to pull her face up but she shook her face hiding it even further in his neck..

"ok.. ok.. relax relax.. " he felt a shiver run through her as she cried..

"Bas baby.. mein yahi hun.. just feel me.. haan..?" he loosened her hand which was clutching his t-shirt and held it on his heart..

"dekh.. can you feel it.. mein yahi hun.. calm down.. shh.. breath with me.. " he feared if she cried like this she might just overwork herself into a panic attack..

She looked at her own hand on his heart still laying her face on his chest and took small slow breaths matching his.. he felt her calm down a little with time.. he placed a kiss on her head and stayed like that till she completely calmed down..

She looked up at him slowly raising her head from his chest.. her hand moving to his face.. she rested her forehead on his chin..

"tere bageir jeena bahot mushkil hai Sidharth.. please kabhi itni dur mat bhejna tere se.. mein bilkil ni jaungi.."

Those words and those pleading eyes broke his heart..

"kabbhi nahi meri jaan.. mein bhi nahi reh paya tere bina baby.. roj lagta tha tuze abhi ke abhi wapas bula lu.."

He didn't have enough words to just explain her how much he missed her.. he just gathered her in his hands rocking them both back and forth in a comforting rhythm..

After staying in each other's arms for a long time their moment was broken when Sana's phone rang.. he helped her get down from his lap but not leaving the hold on her hand.. she stretched her other hand and pulled her phone out..

"Haan Shehbaa .. mein pohonch gayi thik se.. tu tention mat le.." she looked at Sidharth who was staring at her, his face still showing the disbelief that she was actually here.. He broke his gaze when she handed him the phone saying Shehbaaz wanted to talk to him..

"Saale... isko akele kaise bhej diya tue. Tu nahi aa sakta tha saath mein.. ghabra jati wo to.. " he scolded Shehbaaz pulling Shehnaaz close to him by securing his hand around her neck..

She smiled at him and nestled in his arms as he spoke to Shehbaaz about her return flight details and how much time she has here ..

Once he had done speaking, he kept the phone away and held her in front of him, his long hands circling her waist locking at her back.. he bumped his forehead lightly at hers, smiling ..

"To tu sach mein aa gayi haan?? "

She pinched him hard in the side, giggling and running out of his hands as he screamed in pain and ran behind her..

"Dekh le.. "
