A LOVE STORY OR NOT PART 2

#9

Sidharth didn't know what to say to him when he was blaming himself for her condition.

He was a brother too, just like baaz and he had two sisters. What would happen if he comes to know some day that he wasn't there when his sister needed him?

He would feel like he is of no use. Baaz was feeling the same way right now. Shehnaaz indeed meant a lot to him. Infact he was the one who first started calling her Sana.

Sidharth kept a hand on his shoulder and said, "Baaz dekh aaj firse use teri zarurat hai, aur tu idhar hi hai. Jab hum use dhundh lenge tab bhi tu uske paas hoga!".

Baaz finally nodded and they got back to their work of finding something on the CCTV.

The very next day, Sidharth called neetu di.

"Good morning di!", he said.

"Good morning?", she replied confusedly.

"Wo actually Shehnaaz aur mujhe call aaya tha ek important project ke liye. Uss time kafi late ho gya tha toh aap logon ko bina btaye nikal gye", Sidharth said, hoping that she buys it.

"Arre aise kaise chale gye bina btaye? Yeh koi baat hoti hai?", di scolded.

"Sorry di, par important project tha. Aur han Kushal, Ahana aur Baaz bhi sath mein hi hain", Sidharth said.

"Wo teenon kyun gye?", she asked suspiciously.

"Baaz ko Mumbai mein business related kaam tha, Kushal ka bhi ek project hai, aur Ahana itne din baad aayi hai toh use Shehnaaz ke sath time spend karna tha", Sidharth said.

"Achcha theek hai, Sanu ko phone de. Kal bhi raat mein wo washroom chali gyi aur fir long drive pe, hum mile hi nhi!", di said.

"Di...wo...wo toh so rahi hai. Matlab abhi hum raste mein hain naa toh wo so rahi hai!", Sidharth said.

Neetu di was doubting the story Sidharth just told her. She felt that something was weird about all of it but she shrugged away the thoughts.

She and Sidharth talked a bit more after that and then she disconnected the call.

"Preeti mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi hai!", Neetu di said as soon as she reached preeti di's room. She narrated everything Sidharth just told her.

"Weird toh hai. Sanu toh so hi nhi pati na agar use subha koi utha de. Fir aaj kaise so gyi?", preeti di was confused too.

"Chal unke room mein chalte hain. Mere paas card hai", neetu di said and dragged preeti di along with her.

The room was the same as before. The bed was made and it didn't seems like somebody slept on it. Their clothes were lying there too.

If they were going to Mumbai for a shoot then why were there clothes here and not with them.

"Di call Karo Sidharth ko. Mujhe kuch theek sa ni lag ra!", preeti di said while neetu di dialed his number.

"Sidharth please jhut nhi sunna Humein. Tum log kahan ho? Sanu kahan hai?", neetu di asked worriedly.

"Di, meine btaya na ki Shehnaaz so rahi hai aur hum Mumbai..", Sidharth began speaking but was interrupted.

"Sidharth shut up! Sach bol, Sach!", preeti di said with a concerned tone.

"Shehnaaz has been kidnapped and we think Misha did it!", Sidharth spoke with a Crack in his voice.

Since yesterday, he has been like this only. The stern and firm Sidharth had been lost.

He is not even able to say a word without a lump getting formed in his throat.
