A LOVE STORY OR NOT PART 2

#2

Happy Janmashtami 😊

Shehnaaz huffed loudly. She didn't enter the car. She just stood there, staring at the door, and muttering  weird things under her breath.

Sidharth noticed how cute she looked  while making those annoying faces.

He just shook his head and came towards her. She looked at him with squinting eyes and a pout.

Sidharth opened the door of the passenger seat for her but she didn't get in.

"Murthal Yahaan chalke nhi aayega. Wahan Humein jaana padega aur uske liye tujhe andar baithna padega!", Sidharth said.

Shehnaaz gave him a 'whatever' look and then sat inside.

Out of habit, he leaned towards her to put on the seat belt. She didn't ask him to not to do it.

Shehnaaz smiled within and tried hard not to show it on her face. Isn't he a sweetheart? Shehnaaz asked herself.

Sidharth looked one last time at her, after he was done buckling her, to see if she has forgiven him.

But to the looks of it, she hadn't. He shook his head and closed the door, then moved towards the other side of the car to sit in.

It had been almost 2 hours and everybody in the car was sleeping, except Sidharth and Shehnaaz.

Shehnaaz, once disturbed from her deep slumber, didn't have the habit of sleeping again and so no matter how much she tried, she was still wide awake.

Shehnaaz was quite for 2 hours and Sidharth was now scared. She is never so quite, this meant she was really mad at him.

But Shehnaaz wasn't angry at him, she was just silent so that he could finally get on with his job of pampering her to make her forgive him.

God, the not taking thing was super difficult.

She isn't one of those who can sit  silently for more than 5 minutes, but now it had been 2 hours and this was just getting too much for her.

Out of the blue, Sidharth switched on the stereo. He knew what was going to cheer her up.

He picked the song that went well with the situation. He knew that this song was beautiful and Shehnaaz loved it to.

Sidharth remembered the time that they watched the movie, this song belonged to.

Shehnaaz had started sniffling after almost 5 minutes of the beginning of the movie and she continued doing that during the whole movie.

By the time the movie ended, Shehnaaz was actually sobbing in his arms while he was trying to calm her down.

"Ye Kitna sad hai!", she had spoken amidst her sobs.

"Baby, sirf movie hai. Its not real!", he had told her, hoping that this would coax her.

"Ye kisi ke sath toh hua hoga naa!", she had spoken innocently looking straight into her eyes.

That made Sidharth's heart wrench for the way she was feeling.

Obviously, it was sad to know that the person you love, loves you too but still you don't end up being together.

He didn't know what was it about, but everytime he and Shehnaaz watched a sad romantic movie, they both would imagine themselves in that scenario.

It would have totally killed him if it had happened to both of them.

If Sidharth and Shehnaaz weren't meant to be, even though they loved each other so much, what would he have done. What would she have done?
