SidNaaz- Forever and Always.

Chapter 16- Last night was tiring.

"Shit I checked the mail and usmei tha, ki if you want the full scholarship Masters ki, toh round 2 mei bhi jeeto. Round 1 se only 50% scholarship mil rahi hai."

"Sidharth. Mujhe attack aajayega. Matlab abhi ek aur baar competition hoga?"

"Haa beta. Aur ab aur mehnat krni hogi. Rohan ke saath sirf romance nahi krna hai, naachna bhi hai."

"Bakwaas nahi kr. Yeh bata. Kab hoga voh round 2?"

"1 maheene baad hai."

"Yaar Sidharth. Kese hoga?"

"Jese abi hua. Acha mujhe 5 minutes de. Mai unko reply kr deta hu ki tu part legi."

"Haa. Mai phone challa leti hu."

He opened his laptop to reply back to the mail. Shehnaaz was too tired to keep her eyes open. So she slept in 2 minutes. Sidharth was done replying and he was about to say something when he saw that she had already slept on his bed. He looked at the 21 year old kid, who managed to sleep at anytime, anywhere. He packed his laptop, and went to sleep, next to her. Often Shehnaaz would end up sleeping in his room, as if she owned it. And the next morning whenever they would wake up, they would find themselves snuggled against each other. Shehnaaz would always end up hugging Sidharth in her sleep. Sidharth understood how she never got a chance to hug her parents while sleeping, and that was the soul reason why this would happen.

Next morning Sidharth woke up earlier than Shehnaaz. He saw her hugging him. He very carefully removed her arms from his chest and got up to freshen himself up. Although Shehnaaz was to prepare the aaloo parathas as per her bet, he decided to cook the breakfast this morning. He put the eggs to boil to prepare both of theirs favourite boiled egg sandwiches. And in the meanwhile he started to prepare the tea, when the bell of his house rung.

He opened the door to find Rohan standing at the entrance. Both of them smiled at each other and Sidharth let him inside. To say that the atmosphere was awkward would be an understatement. Rohan didn't like Sidharth, that was for quite obvious reasons, but Sidharth wondered why he was irritated by his presence. A week before when he met him, there was no harsh thought for him in his mind but now he couldn't manage him being in his house, holding a packet in his hands.

"Voh Shehnaaz kaha hai?"

"So ri hai. Abhi uthaya nahi hai."

"Acha. Mai dekhta hu."

He wanted to stop him, but before he could he saw Rohan heading towards her room. Soon he saw Rohan coming out of the room disappointed to not find her there.

"Uth gayi shayd. Washroom mei hogi. Room mei nahi hai."

"Nai nai. Mere room mei sogyi thi kal voh. Ruk Mai utha kr laata hu."

Sidharth saw Rohan's face which had disappointment clearly written all over it. He just couldn't digest the fact that Shehnaaz slept with Sidharth, whereas it was quite a normal thing for Shehnaaz and Sidharth. They would always talk till late, or watch a movie till late and then end up sleeping together. Sidharth left him to enter his room. Although Rohan wanted to go and wake her up on his own, but he couldn't just enter Sidharth's room like this. He wasn't that close to him. And he was somehow intimidated by him.

Sidharth entered his room to only be relieved that it was him waking Shehnaaz up. Shehnaaz was sleeping in Sidharth's t-shirt which was her nightdress, which had somehow moved up, and was slightly revealing her underwear. The thought of how Rohan would have found her sleeping like this made him angry. He quickly covered her with a blanket.
