SAFAR ZINDAGI KA

Chapter 18

Baaz and Sid walked toward the couch. Sid kept stealing glances at sana nervously. He was worried about kept on shaking his foot. "Sid?" Baaz's voice broke him out of his trance. "Hmmm" Sid replied. "Dekh pehle toh thank you meri pagal behen ko jhelne ke liye. Yeh Har kissi ki bas ki baat nahi hoti hai." Baaz thanked him. He was aware his sister was a handful and stubborn. He had protected her with everything in him. He just wanted Sid to be aware with all that his sister had gone through in life so he never hurt her unintentionally. Sana was someone who wore her heart on her sleeve but she never showed her vulnerable side to the world. "Sun Sana ko na kabhi pyaar nahi mila jabse choti thi ghar se dur rahi . Mumma papa ne bhi Usse dur kar diya. Us ke baad usne khud ki ek Alag duniya bana li apne liye. I just hope ki woh humesha khush rahe. Maine dekha hai ki tum usko leke bohot protective ho. But please Usse kabhi hurt maat karna." Baaz requested. Sid himself had two sisters and he knew he would lose his mind if anyone hurt his sisters. He knew from where Baaz was coming." Meri bhi do bhene hai. I know ke unko kabhi koi hurt karenga toh main usse nahi chodunga. Agar maine kabhi usko hurt kiya actual wala toh main khud aa jaunga apna muh Tod wane." He eased Baaz's mind with his simple gesture. Both of them walked away assured of sanas happiness.

"Oye Kaha they dono kabse dhund rahi hu . Chalo khana kah lo thanda ho jayega. ." Sana reprimanded both of them. Both the men just followed her to the dining area. Jas , Asim and Aaminah were waiting for them. They had a hearty meal full of laughters and stories. It really did feel good to be surrounded by family and loved ones. They could feel the intense gazes on them but for what it was worth they didn't care. That's the thing about family and friend they can instantly make you feel at peace.

It was late at night. Asim and Baaz had decided to share a bed while Aaminah and jas shared sidnaaz bed and Sid and sana had the captain room. Sid went to the smoking room having jas on show definitely was good but the fact that Rashmi was also in the house brought back a lot of bitter memories. Jas felt the same way. She was Stuck in between of it. She had seen the person Sid had become during that phase.

All of the others were fast a sleep Sid was sitting on the bench outside the smoking room lost in his thoughts. Jas had gone to use the washroom and when she came out she saw him sitting on the bench lost in his thoughts. "Weird hai na same channel same people . Janti hu jo hua galat hua but yeh ek nahi shurwat hai Sid . Tujhe pata bhi nahi hai ke tune kya kamaya hai . Itni izzat aur Itna pyaar aasaini se nahi milta hai. Pata aaj shayad uncle hote toh Khushi se pagal ho gaye hote. I met your mom last week . Aunty ko kabhi Itna proud nahi dekha she was beaming with pride and rightly so . Tune hum Sab ko proud kiya. I am sure uncle bhi jaha bhi hoge woh apna Sena choda karke bol rahe hoge woh Mera beta hai. Sab bhul jaa tune apne liye ek nayi duniya banayi . And bahar sabko dikh raha hai kaun kitna sahi hai. It's time to move on sid . Let go of the baggage. Ab show ke baad Tu wapas acting karenga don't carry that bitterness with you. Jo bhi hai yaha khatam karde. I know tujhe woh articles aaj bhi bother karte hai but duniya ko dikh raha kaun sahi tha aur kaun galat. All your fans love you sid . Ab isko past main rakh de." Jas told him. His eyes turned misty he knew it was time to let go and start fresh . He had taken this show as an opportunity to prove to himself. He knew a new life was waiting for him and he definitely didn't want to carry the baggage of this controversy into it. He just pulled Jas into a brotherly hug. "Tu kab itni smart ho gayi?" He asked while dragging her in. A lot was said unsaid but of them understood.

Sid entered the captains room and pulled sana close to himself. He pecked her forehead,"Happy birthday Meri jaan." He murmured me last time before drifting of into a peaceful sleep. They were woken up with the not so pleasant blaring music in the morning. The six of them found themselves in the garden enjoying sharing stories. "Pata hai jab him Mohali main they na tab sana ne nayi nayi driving sekhi thi. Ek raat ko is madam ko bhoot Chada ki Mujhe drive pe le jana hai. Toh madam ne apni nayi gaadi li aur Mujhe aur mere ek friend ki gaadi main bithaya aur sidha 80 se 120 pe chali. Hum dono uss din ke baad kabhi iske saath gaadi main nahi bethe. Mujhe toh abhi bhi daar lagta hai. Aur madam toh har dusre din gaadi thok ke ghar aati thi aur khud ko chot lagwa ke." Baaz concluded. The group was in fits by the end of it. Sid occasionally gave playful hits to Sana's head while Baaz narrated the instances and sana cutely bit her tongue.
