Chapter 26

"Maa se milne de Sidharth.. Chor ab meko.." she said as she tried to get out of his tight hold..

"Baby Maa ka mai batata hu raat me.. Abhi chal as promised Chai pee mere sath.. Fir ready ho jana..”

“Kaha jana hai?”

“Ganpati Bappa ke darshan.. Preeti Naira Maa aur hum dono..”

“Raaj aur Neetu Di nai aa rahe?” Asked Shehnaaz..

“Nai.. wo log busy hai.. Raaj ka college internals hai isliye.”

“Okay. Chal mai kapde nikalti hu.. Teko kya pehenna hai? Darshan larne ke time? Kurta nikalu ya shirt ya tshirt?” Asked Shehnaaz..

“Kuch bhi nikal dey Baby.. Meko samjh nai aa raha hai kya pehnu.. Darshan karne ke baad dinner pe bhi jana hai..”

“Acha chal mai nikalti hu..”

She went to their room to get their clothes and Sidharth went to make tea with numerous thoughts..

For the first time, Shehnaaz wasn’t able to makeout his restlessness.. He was trying to be less worried in front of her.. He made tea and took it to their room.. He asked the maids to cook for themselves..

He saw Shehnaaz in front of their wardrobe.. He kept the tea on the bed side table and hugged her from behind..

He snuggled into her and she kept her hands on his..

“Kya hua hai teko? Thik hai?”

“Ha.. kyu kya hua?”

“Tu hamesha puchta hai sighning ke time kaisa hua kya hua.. Jaane ke pehle bht excited tha,, ab ek dm se shant lag rhaa hai.. isliye sochi kuch chal raha hoga tere dimag me.”

This time, not directly, but indirectly she knew something was bothering him.. No matter what, she knows his actions his eyes his voice and his habit of tapping his fingers and his restlessness.. 

"Sidharth, baad me bolna hai to baad me bolna.. Chal ready hoja.. Ye Kala Kurta Pajama daal!" 

She said as she handed him his clothes.. He kissed her forehead and said, "You will be getting a surprise.. I am just worried thoda sa.." 

"Surprise tu de raha hai to itna kyu soch raha hai.. Aaj tak tere kiya hua kuch aisa hai jo mujhe pasand nai aaya hai. Itna mat soch Sidhaarrthhh.."

"Ok.. Madam chai pee le sath me.. Balcony me chal.."

Here Sidharth was worried about how will Shehnaaz react to the renovation.. Little did he know that he was getting effected too.. He deliberately took her to the Balcony to make memories of the swing.. 

He snuggled into her and she fed him the biscuit.. 

"Mera Bacha! Bho pyara lag raha hai aaj.. Head massage de dungi.. Kaafi time ho gaya nai di hu." 

"Haa.. I have been missing your massages.." 

"Bol deta na Bebu.." She said getting out of his embrace and giving him his tea cup and she had tea with him.. 

His eyes scanning every corner of the balcony and going down the memory lane.. He saw just her in his mind.. He decided to stop his mind and wait for her assurance first... 

They sipped their tea and started getting ready.. Shehnaaz wore a black and white Suit with Straight Pant... Her Dupatta covering her cleavage.... Sidharth got ready in minutes and his eyes were scanning her as she herself got ready..
