NURTURING US

Shehnaaz was no where to be found and Sidharth was afraid to visit his sister’s house.. He called Shehnaaz but her phone was out of range.. He went down to the Society’s garden and searched for her.. She was sitting with Arjun, her friend from the Building (I hope you remember Arjun..)

Shehnaaz saw Sidharth but didn’t budge as she was not doing anything wrong and there was a good distance between them.. Arjun left in a while and Shehnaaz started walking around.. Sidharth was frozen at his place.. Neither he went close to her nor he went back home.. He was just looking at her.. Her eyes, her expressions.. He could feel that she was madly ipset with him.. And why wouldn’t she.. He has always done things which he regretted later.. She always understood.. But how much can he expect from her..

Everytime, shouting, saying things which he doesn’t mean can not work..
Shehnaaz walked from one corner to another and Sidharth just looked at her.. She was not shocked.. She knew he would never do anything right away so she started walking towards their house.. He realized that she was going in and so he followed.. But she was already in the lift before he reached and she didn’t even wait.. Shehnaaz reached home and left the door open..

She changed her clothes and sent a text to Arjun, “Thank you, baat karne ke liye..” to which he relplied, “No need.. 😊”
She kept her phone on the side table and slept on her side.. Sidharth came in and saw her laying in one corner of the bed.. He was not liking hwo things were turning up..

(One thing, I’m changing one thing.. Sidharth hasn’t stopped smoking entirely, he smokes but only when necessary.. Because We know he has reduced smoking but not left entirely in real life.. Shehnaaz said He stopped smoking in the “First Live Together” but we saw him going to the Smoking room in BB14 a few times..)

He turned off the lights and went back to the drawing room.. He scrolled down his phone but he couldn’t really focus.. He liked random content on the social media making the fans go gaga without knowing.. Thankfully he didn’t like anything which was negative.. He kept thinking about what actually angered him..

His pressure had building since the balcony idea was to be changed.. That definitely got sorted but It was Sidharth, the over thinker.. Every little actions effects him.. Then the dacne rehearsal.. He wasn’t able to perform, according to him.. Neither Shehnaaz felt this nor the two Choreographers.. He was being extra conscious.. He had an impression of himself not dancing properly on Mirchi Music Awards..

Honestly, I didn’t like his performance too at that time.. Neither he was lipsing the song nor he was looking interested.. I know many things were going on in his mind, MSK and sruff like that but yes! I didn’t feel like Sidharth was performing his best. And he himself agreed on this that he wasn’t his self in an interview during the lockdown!

Back to the fiction, he was thinking about the same.. He was being extra conscious then the way Avinash touched her added up to his built up not because of his touch but just because a lot was in his head..

Shehnaaz was unable to sleep.. She got up from her bed, went to the closet and grabbed some extra pillows and kept one under her legs and hugged one as she tried to sleep again.. She had made up  her mind to teach Sidharth a lesson of not bursting oiut every now and then without any reason..

She was actually impressed to see him not react when she was sitting with Arjun.. But she was upset, she didn’t do anything wrong.. She was trying her best to motivate ehim during the dance rehearsals.. It was him who was thinking that hes not doing things right..
She didn’t say it nor anyone else.. She gave him his space.. She came to talk to him because she knew he was over thinking but the way he behaved with her tore hear heart in a very bad wa and she was adamant to stay angry this time for a long time..
