Love Or Sin ✅

Part: 16 Separation

At that moment Shehnaaz couldn't stop herself and hugged Sidharth tightly in front of everybody. She forgot about the consequences. She forgot everything. She just wanted to make him fine at that moment. Everybody was staring at her in shock and even Sidharth was shocked by her sudden move. He stopped coughing because of the shock. He didn't think that she would hug him in front of everybody

The next moment she immediately broke the hug as soon as she realised what she had done. She couldn't meet her eyes with them. She was trying to find the reason playing with her fingers nervously and Sidharth was also looking down.

"I hugged him to distract his mind. Look he stopped coughing. My plan worked." She answered their unasked question and everybody were convinced with her answer. Sidharth was now looking at her. He could see that she was scared from inside.

"I must say, Shivansh, your wife is more intelligent than you. Shehnaaz you should teach something to Shivansh also." Cabir spoke in a fun tone. Shehnaaz plastered a smile but inside her heart cried.

"She is smartest and I love her," Shivansh confessed cheerfully, taking Shehnaaz in a side hug. His words broke Manan's heart and they difficultly controlled their tears from falling.

"I just come." Shehnaaz exited the room before anybody could even stop her because she couldn't control her emotions. She wanted to cry and take out her all pain. Sidharth was so helpless because he couldn't even do this.

"Shivansh, I want to take Sidharth to my home. I don't have any work this month. I will take care of him." Mukti spoke catching everybody's attention.

"Mukti, if you are free then this is a good idea. We will take Sidharth in our home." Cabir agreed, looking at Sidharth who was silently looking at Shivansh waiting to hear what he wanted.

"No need of it, Mukti. I am taking off from my office for a month. I want to take care of my friend." As Shivansh spoke, Sidharth gave him an glare.

"Shivansh, you don't have to take off from your office for me. I will be fine soon. Mukti you are taking me to your home tomorrow and that's final." Sidharth said in a strict tone making Shivansh quiet. Shivansh didn't force Sidharth to stay with him. He respected his decision.

Sidharth wanted to stay away from Shehnaaz and it was the best opportunity for him which he didn't want to lose at any cost. His heart wanted to be with her but for Shivansh he could do anything. He wanted to give space to Shehnaaz and Shivansh so that Shehnaaz start loving Shivansh again forgetting him.

______________

Shehnaaz was crying, sitting on the bed, hugging her knees near to her heart. She loved Sidharth so much but couldn't show her love. She wanted to tell the truth to Shivansh but she didn't want to hurt him. Sometimes she hated herself for being so good. She couldn't hurt anybody. She couldn't see anybody in pain. She could bear his hatred but didn't want to become the reason for his pain.

She immediately wiped all the tears as she heard the sound of the opening of the door. Shivansh walked inside and his eyes fell over Shehnaaz. He immediately came to know by looking at her wet eyes which became red that she was crying. He reached to her, taking slow steps. She gave him faint smile. He sat in front of her on the bed. She was still sitting hugging her knees.

"Shehnaaz, I know you were crying." As Shivansh uttered in a serious tone after taking a deep breath, Shehnaaz widened her eyes in shock.

"I am your husband, Shehnaaz. You can share anything with me. I am seeing that you are sad for a few weeks. You don't say anything to me that doesn't mean I will not come to know anything. I can read your eyes because I love you. I am waiting for the day when you will love me back the way I love you. Am I expecting something big from you ?" She felt more guilty after listening to Shivansh's words. She didn't want to hurt the person who cared for her a lot. She couldn't even hurt him for her happiness.
