A LOVE STORY OR NOT PART 2

#78

Their last visit to doctor had been the usual. Dr. Anaya had warned them about the possibility of Shehnaaz not surviving.

The only thing that kept him going was the fact that Shehnaaz told him again and again that she felt good about the pregnancy.

She kept on telling him throughout these 7 months that her intuitions tell her everything is going to fall into place.

Sidharth was losing it day by day. Everytime, Shehnaaz cried in pain, he would feel like killing himself.

She was in so much pain everyday and even during the sleep. He had heard her whimpers.

Shehnaaz had grown more affectionate towards him and the baby.

It was not as if earlier she wasn't, but now she was going beyond her way to constantly remind Sidharth that she loves him.

It was bugging Sidharth to no end, not that he didn't like the affectionate Shehnaaz, but she was doing all of it in a kind of urgency.

He would get emotional everytime she did something romantic for him, and he found it strange.

A week ago she  sang to him and then laid on his chest as they swayed there bodies gently.

Shehnaaz never knew how to play an instrument and Sidharth had no idea that she was learning.

It wasn't until today, when he was sitting in a meeting, regarding a project, that she had sent him a video with a sweet 'I love you❤️', at the end.

Sidharth had smiled confusedly seeing the video, he waited for it load.

He excused himself and closed his cabin and pulled down the curtains so that nobody sees his stupid smile which automatically comes as soon as he sees Shehnaaz.

He smiled even widely when he saw that she had guitar in her hand. She had gone to meet kaushal which meant she was in her own office.

As soon as the song started, so did the guitar. She perfectly played a tuning which he couldn't understand belonged to which song.

Main rahoon ya na rahoon
Tum mujh mein kahin baaki rehna
Mujhe neend aaye jo aakhiri
Tum khwabon mein aate rehna

Sidharth's eyes stung with welled up tears as he heard her singing this song.

He leaned on the big glass table behind him, because he felt like he couldn't stand without support.

Why was she singing this? Why was she saying anything about her being not there?

She is going to be here always, beside him and their daughter, he won't let her go.

Why was she saying anything about her being going to sleep forever, she had no right to leave him just like that?

It wasn't just about the song, she sang it like she meant it!

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna

Shehnaaz sang it with such ferocity and emotions that he could feel himself crying.

He sat on the floor, leaning to the table behind him, as he heard her singing the lyrics, tunes of guitar matched perfectly.

He gulped. He could see the welled up tears in her eyes and then she shut them, probably not wanting to cry.

She kept on saying that this was the only thing that she wanted to say to him. He could feel her moving away from him.
