SidNaaz - Soulmates in the journey of self-discovery?

#31

Later that night, Shehnaaz sits outside alone in the garden area, thinking over all that has transpired in the last few days and silent tears start rolling down her cheeks. She was very happy when Rohan had come in the house at a very difficult time and he had felt like family.

 Rohan had reminded her of her brother and the easy chemistry she has with him. Rohan has been her support system for the last few days. Shehnaaz also knows that Rohan played a crucial role in clearing out misunderstandings between her and Sidharth and helped her vent out her frustrations at Sidharth when she had needed to.

Sidharth looks around for Shehnaaz and finally sees her sitting alone in the garden area, upset over Rohan leaving. He goes to her and says, 'Abey moti, idhar akeli kyun behti hai? Chal andar chalte hai..Aaj to tera hi din tha...Full on jhappi pappi bhi karliya Gautam Gulati key saath, pakka tujhe call karega bahar jayegi jab...' with an intention of lightening the mood and cheering her up.

But this has the opposite effect on SHehnaaz and she fires back at him saying, 'Apni bakwas apne pass hi rakha kar. Tere sochne sey duniya to chalti nahi...'

Sidharth says, 'Mere upar kyun bhadak rahi hai bey...'

Shehnaaz quickly cuts him off and says, "Mujhe thori der akele rehna hai, Sidharth. Chor mujhe akela please.'

Sidharth leaves her alone and goes off to bed. Shehnaaz feels hurt and mentally exhausted over Sidharth not understanding about how she feels and about him supporting what Vindu said against her.

The misunderstanding between them takes a toll on both.

The next morning as Shehnaaz wakes up, she sees Sidharth still sleeping beside him and a deep sigh escapes her.

As the week progresses, the misunderstandings between Sidharth and Shehnaaz keep on intensifying. Sidharth even asks her to change her bed which leads to another verbal spat as it offends Shehnaaz. Sidharth starts getting annoyed with her without the slightest provocation which confuses Shehnaaz who fails to understand her real fault.

Sidharth has always been territorial in his life, and deep down Shehnaaz had started affecting him deeply. Hence, seeing her happy with Rohan and upset over his leaving along with hugging Gautam and Kartik does not go down well with him. He had thought with Rohan leaving Shehnaaz's full focus will fall back on him but her being upset and lost in her thoughts irks him unintentionally.

Shehnaaz tries to mend things with Sidharth but fails to match up to his expectations.

One morning Sidharth gets her tea and after taking a sip Shehnaaz simply says, 'Chini nahi dali tune chai mein?'

Sidharth responds, 'maine to daali thi!'

Shehnaaz, 'O Achcha..mujhe thora kam laga pata nahi...'

Sidharth sarcastically responds, 'Abhi to bohot kuch kam lagega..Kal tak dost chai banake pila kar gaya...aur abhi meri banai hui chai mein problem to hogi hi...'

Shehnaaz looks at him in surprise and says, "tu pagal hai? Tune sayed milaya nahi hoga thik sey Sidharth, kaunsi baat ko kidhar lekar jaa raha hai..Rohan mera bachpan ka dost hai...Aur tu jab hamesha apne dosto key liye stand leta hai tab kya hota hai...?"

Sidharth cheekily responds, 'Maine kisi bhi dost key liye apna bed change nahi kiya..Tere saath hi sota hoon sirf...Tu gayi...'

Shehnaaz says, 'Haa chal thik hai. Mein hurt thi. Aur hurt tune kiya tha..Age dekhenge na tu kya kya karta hai dosto key liye...'
